| ubot5 | manfredrasta: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 16:29 |

| manfredrasta | with jag i mean minijag | 16:44 |
| bioterror | there's really no good guide howto get composite out | 16:45 |
| bioterror | and to be honest, your hardware is really ancient for todays techonology ;) | 16:45 |
| bioterror | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/RGB_Scart | 16:47 |
| manfredrasta | look at this: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRWWZ3SxeebNhTdMth9cEGl-5CPf7zEWUWIgCOrVQuyX-2aIT9E&t=1 | 16:47 |

| bioterror | probably | 16:48 |
| manfredrasta | not probably, is that one | 16:48 |
| manfredrasta | so, dont know where those monitor settings are? | 16:48 |
| bioterror | http://www.computergear.co.uk/userfiles/image/Composite.jpg this one is actually not that supported | 16:48 |
| manfredrasta | Why? | 16:49 |
| bioterror | http://www.chinapans.com/images/hdmidvi.jpg this is year 2011 | 16:49 |
| manfredrasta | ok | 16:50 |
| manfredrasta | and if i use one of those | 16:50 |

| bioterror | I pasted that mythtv url | 16:50 |
| bioterror | read it | 16:50 |
| manfredrasta | ok | 16:51 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOut | 16:53 |
| kosaidpo-| | bioterror: is there any way to change the name of my machine ?? | 16:54 |
| bioterror | kosaidpo-|, change network settings | 16:54 |
| kosaidpo-| | bioterror: in whxih file ?? /etc/host ?? | 16:55 |
| kosaidpo-| | bioterror: the backpots repo are meant for the future vesion is it ?? | 17:02 |
| kosaidpo-| | as in for 11.04 ? | 17:02 |
| bioterror | manfredrasta, did you get it working? | 18:14 |
| esing | hi :) | 21:04 |
| esing | HOw much space should give the partition /home ? I have 80 gb in total on my hdd | 21:04 |
| esing | I want to encrypt my /home partition too :) | 21:05 |
| bioterror | dont encrypt | 21:05 |
| bioterror | it doesnt work | 21:05 |
| esing | heh :) | 21:06 |
| esing | thx | 21:06 |
| esing | would you recommend to make partitions? | 21:06 |
| bioterror | yes and now | 21:06 |
| bioterror | I'm a huge fan of two partitions | 21:07 |
| esing | :D | 21:07 |
| bioterror | 2x RAM for SWAP and rest for / | 21:07 |
| esing | hehe | 21:07 |
| esing | would you recommend me to make 2x ram partitions too iam a normal ordinary pc user | 21:07 |
| esing | who watches TV, uses Internet and office :) | 21:07 |
| bioterror | well | 21:07 |
| esing | :D | 21:08 |
| bioterror | okay | 21:08 |
| bioterror | is that laptop? | 21:08 |
| esing | yus | 21:08 |
| bioterror | yes? | 21:08 |
| esing | thinkpad t43 | 21:08 |
| esing | :) | 21:08 |
| bioterror | then I would suggest | 21:09 |
| bioterror | if you're going to hibernate | 21:09 |
| esing | but I never have much user data like my videos & music stuff never exceed 20 gb | 21:09 |
| bioterror | when you hibernate your laptop it will write RAM to swap | 21:10 |
| esing | hmm | 21:11 |
| esing | what do you mean by hibernateE | 21:11 |
| esing | i turn off my laptop every day | 21:11 |
| esing | i think i give my /home folder 30 gb | 21:12 |
| esing | mb less :) | 21:12 |
| bioterror | http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/hibernate_linux | 21:12 |
| bioterror | I just suggest you to use whole hard drive | 21:13 |
| bioterror | easier | 21:13 |
| esing | mhm | 21:14 |
| esing | ok | 21:14 |
| esing | I just created the /home drive | 21:14 |
| esing | should I delete it agaiN? | 21:14 |
| bioterror | why you want it to be separate | 21:15 |
| esing | first i wanted it to be seperated because of encryption | 21:15 |
| esing | i only wanted to encrypt /home | 21:15 |
| esing | secondly (which i dont care much) is the use for formating only the system not /home | 21:16 |
| bioterror | okay | 21:16 |
| esing | why do you think encrypition sucks? | 21:16 |
| bioterror | give 15G for /, 2x RAM for the SWAP and rest for /home | 21:16 |
| bioterror | 15GB is way too much for the /, but you never know :D | 21:17 |
| esing | hehe | 21:17 |
| bioterror | my whole lubuntu is 15GB / | 21:17 |
| esing | is hibernating very usefull? | 21:17 |
| bioterror | esing, some people do like it, I'm a suspend guy | 21:17 |
| bioterror | phillw, do you suspend or hiernate your piglet when you take it with you? | 21:18 |
| esing | hm | 21:18 |
| esing | i think iam the suspend guy too | 21:18 |
| esing | i never used hibernating with windows | 21:18 |
| bioterror | yep | 21:18 |
| esing | so I wont need those extra partitions | 21:19 |
| esing | :) | 21:19 |
| esing | but why do you think encryption doesnt work? | 21:19 |
| esing | slows my laptop too much? | 21:19 |
| esing | anyways | 21:21 |
| esing | after setting my /Home for 40 gb | 21:21 |
| esing | i have 40 gb left | 21:21 |
| esing | how can I put the remaining 40 gb to the system space? | 21:21 |
| esing | there is the " free space 40 gb" :: should I just press installation? | 21:22 |
| bioterror | 40GB is alot for / | 21:22 |
| esing | ye mb | 21:22 |
| esing | bioterror :D | 21:23 |
| esing | tell me why you dislike full encryption :) | 21:23 |
| esing | I thought it is very good against physical attacks | 21:23 |
| bioterror | becouse there's problems with it in lubuntu | 21:24 |
| bioterror | trying to recall which those was | 21:24 |
| esing | should I put the bootloader in SD1 or /dev/sda ATA WDC (my hdd) | 21:24 |
| esing | Ah I see | 21:24 |
| esing | then I will install everything in one thing | 21:24 |
| bioterror | GRUB goes to /dev/sda | 21:24 |
| esing | because I wont need partitions without encryption | 21:24 |
| esing | k thx | 21:24 |
| bioterror | no numbers | 21:24 |
| bioterror | but still | 21:24 |
| bioterror | I think you should give ~10GB for / | 21:25 |
| bioterror | T43, I think you have 1GB of RAM | 21:25 |
| bioterror | so 2GB for SWAP and rest for /home | 21:25 |
| esing | what if I download something which has 20 gb I couldnt download it on /home | 21:25 |
| esing | why 2 gb for swap when I dont use hibernating? | 21:25 |
| esing | i have 1,5 gb ram btw | 21:26 |
| esing | :) | 21:26 |
| esing | got t43p | 21:26 |
| bioterror | nice, 1400x1050 | 21:26 |
| esing | yus | 21:26 |
| bioterror | my wife has t40p ;) | 21:26 |
| esing | heh awesome :) | 21:26 |
| esing | what r u using? | 21:26 |
| bioterror | at the moment Dell Latitude D420 | 21:27 |
| bioterror | close to X40, I think | 21:27 |
| esing | nice | 21:28 |
| bioterror | esing, well, even tho you're not going to hibernate, if some program decides to leak RAM, you still have swap | 21:28 |
| esing | x40 is awesome aswell, with the latitude d420 iam not familiar but I guess latitude is good due of many business people use it | 21:28 |
| bioterror | the situation isnt lost and you can have some control to kill applications | 21:28 |
| esing | i see | 21:29 |
| bioterror | yep, this is my worklaptop | 21:29 |
| esing | i like lubuntu much | 21:29 |
| esing | it looks very clean | 21:29 |
| bioterror | hope you understand what I ment by having some RAM | 21:29 |
| bioterror | for just in case | 21:29 |
| esing | yea sure | 21:29 |
| esing | in german we call it " auslagerungsspeicher" | 21:30 |
| esing | :) | 21:30 |
| esing | when ram is full in use it puts some stuff on space | 21:30 |
| esing | but I started the installation 5 minutes ago | 21:30 |
| esing | because I need to get finished before 23:00 :D | 21:30 |
| bioterror | :D | 21:30 |
| bioterror | lubuntu installation takes about 20mins | 21:31 |
| esing | ah perfect | 21:31 |
| bioterror | actually every distribution can be installed in 20mins | 21:31 |
| esing | yus | 21:31 |
| bioterror | except gentoo if you do it with stages | 21:31 |
| esing | why didnt the lubuntu developers fixed the encryption? | 21:31 |
| bioterror | and sourcemage or what ever those linux from scratch kinda distros are | 21:31 |
| esing | lubuntu has only a different desktop environment but the rest would be ubuntu wouldn it | 21:32 |
| esing | and with ubuntu encryption works | 21:32 |
| esing | :=) | 21:32 |
| esing | btw | 21:33 |
| bioterror | ahh, it's a bug in LXDM | 21:33 |
| esing | did you see how much is going on in northafrica ^^ | 21:33 |
| esing | ah I see LXDM is the fault :D | 21:33 |
| bioterror | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/lxdm/+bug/635698/+activity | 21:33 |
| esing | but therefore my laptop wont slow down without encryption | 21:34 |
| esing | I actually dont need encryption | 21:34 |
| bioterror | good | 21:34 |
| bioterror | I had encrypted home | 21:34 |
| bioterror | I dont anymore :D | 21:35 |
| esing | ^^ | 21:35 |
| bioterror | I was making backups and I got bad sectors while making 'em | 21:35 |
| esing | how long does take a backup? | 21:35 |
| bioterror | do you have now that 3-4GB SWAP? | 21:35 |
| esing | nah I dont :P | 21:35 |
| esing | :) | 21:35 |
| bioterror | how much you put for the swap? | 21:36 |
| esing | nothing | 21:36 |
| esing | I just pressed normal installation | 21:36 |
| esing | I made no partitions | 21:36 |
| bioterror | you chose "use whole hard disk2? | 21:36 |
| esing | yep | 21:36 |
| esing | :) | 21:36 |
| bioterror | nice ;D | 21:36 |
| esing | hehe | 21:36 |
| esing | Maybe it is creating a swap too with the normal installation | 21:37 |
| bioterror | yes it is | 21:37 |
| esing | ah good | 21:37 |
| bioterror | esing, when you're done with the installation, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ check that. we've made it for you new users | 21:37 |
| esing | good I do so | 21:38 |
| esing | thx | 21:38 |
| esing | best about linux/lubuntu is that it is free | 21:46 |
| esing | you can use it all over the world, fast installation | 21:47 |
| esing | many free programs | 21:47 |
| esing | i.e. gimp | 21:48 |
| bioterror | yep | 21:48 |
| esing | for adobe photoshop you pay +150 euros | 21:48 |
| bioterror | for CS you pay some more | 21:48 |
| esing | yus | 21:48 |
| bioterror | I do some photo editing | 21:49 |
| bioterror | I used have a Mac and CS2 | 21:49 |
| esing | nice | 21:49 |
| esing | but now gimp is totally sufficient? | 21:49 |
| bioterror | but I noticed that I can do the same with linux and GIMP | 21:49 |
| esing | hehe | 21:49 |
| esing | :D | 21:49 |
| esing | *awesome :D | 21:49 |
| bioterror | open picture, resize, do some curves tweaking, save (for web, as it saves color changes ;) | 21:50 |
| bioterror | esing, you've got invitation | 21:50 |
| bioterror | to the #lubuntu-offtopic | 21:51 |
| esing | thx | 21:51 |
| esing | I want to install Google Earth on Lubuntu | 22:42 |
| esing | there comes a window up saying that it will harm other packages | 22:42 |
| esing | is this np? | 22:42 |

| esing | :) | 22:44 |

| esing | when installing google earth | 22:44 |
| bioterror | what? | 22:44 |
| esing | nvm ^^ | 22:45 |
| bioterror | :D | 22:45 |
| bioterror | I've heard nvm many times today | 22:45 |
| esing | *G* | 22:45 |
| bioterror | not just you | 22:45 |
| esing | hehe | 22:45 |
| esing | bioterror | 22:49 |
| esing | didnt you tell me not to use the freeJAVA? | 22:49 |
| esing | 2 days ago or so | 22:49 |
| bioterror | probably | 22:50 |
| esing | is commonjava the free version of java? | 22:50 |
| esing | (that is the name of the package in synaptci) | 22:50 |
| bioterror | nope | 22:50 |
| esing | ah k so I can keep it | 22:50 |
| esing | :) | 22:50 |
| esing | thx | 22:50 |
| bioterror | it's sun-java6-{bin,jre,plugin,fonts} | 22:50 |
| esing | so I can delete it? | 22:50 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get purge commonjava | 22:51 |
| esing | sudo apt-get remove commonjav | 22:51 |
| esing | purge better? | 22:51 |
| bioterror | yes | 22:51 |
| bioterror | it's same as sudo apt-get remove --purge | 22:51 |
| esing | okay | 22:52 |
| esing | ive deleted the menu | 23:03 |
| esing | how can I recover it | 23:03 |
| esing | *g* | 23:07 |
| esing | managed it myself | 23:07 |
| esing | thx | 23:07 |
| esing | how can I delete a folder in the menu ? | 23:08 |
| esing | *calling* bioterror | 23:09 |
| bioterror | esing, szczur will assist you ,) | 23:15 |
| esing | *calling* szczur | 23:15 |
| bioterror | if he's awake | 23:15 |
| esing | damn ^^ | 23:16 |
| esing | bioterror it is the last thing | 23:16 |
| esing | then I wont disturb you today anymore ^^ | 23:16 |
| esing | *G* | 23:16 |
| szczur | bioterror, front and center | 23:16 |
| esing | :D | 23:16 |
| bioterror | good night ;) | 23:18 |
| esing | good night bioterror :D | 23:18 |
| esing | szczur *calling* | 23:18 |
| esing | szczur how can I delete a submenu? | 23:18 |
| esing | like "games" | 23:18 |
| szczur | to remove folder in menu you would need to remove every entry in it | 23:19 |
| szczur | entries are made by addint an activator to /usr/share/applications | 23:19 |
| szczur | activator is something like a shortcut | 23:19 |
| szczur | so if i would have a menu called "things" and in this menu would be an entry called Gedit | 23:20 |
| szczur | removing the activator for getind would remove the entry i think | 23:20 |
| szczur | but i may be wrong | 23:20 |
| szczur | lemme try this | 23:20 |
| szczur | hang on | 23:20 |
| * szczur is installing lxpanel | 23:21 | |
| esing | :D | 23:21 |
| szczur | hmm, there is easier way | 23:23 |
| szczur | you can edit a /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu | 23:24 |
| szczur | and remove the parts you don't want | 23:24 |
| esing | awesome | 23:24 |
| esing | I will try immediatly | 23:24 |
| szczur | lemme try this, before i will start to remove my files | 23:25 |
| szczur | wait | 23:25 |
| szczur | don't do anything | 23:25 |
| szczur | before i wont do this to myself | 23:25 |
| szczur | you will be fine | 23:25 |
| esing | ok sir :) | 23:25 |
| szczur | i can recover my system :P | 23:25 |
| esing | :P | 23:25 |
| szczur | yayz | 23:27 |
| szczur | it worked | 23:27 |
| esing | perfect thx :D | 23:27 |
| szczur | http://pastebin.com/iCGYscU5 | 23:27 |
| szczur | for example | 23:27 |
| szczur | i removed this part | 23:27 |
| szczur | and i don't have "Others" entry anymore | 23:28 |
| szczur | this should be self-explainable | 23:28 |
| esing | hm | 23:29 |
| esing | my submenus are in german | 23:29 |
| esing | the file shows them in english | 23:29 |
| szczur | should work either way | 23:29 |
| szczur | lemme check something | 23:29 |
| szczur | ok confirmed | 23:30 |
| esing | and how would I change only one application? | 23:30 |
| szczur | my entry was in Polish. "Others" means "Inne" and this entry was removed | 23:31 |
| szczur | for only one application | 23:31 |
| szczur | wait | 23:31 |
| hblount | hi. how do i delete a shortcut in the menu? the "start menu" like thing | 23:32 |
| szczur | esing, for removing on eapplication remove the file in /usr/share/application | 23:33 |
| szczur | /usr/share/applications* | 23:34 |
| esing | ah k, and what if I want only the shortcut to be delete and not the app? | 23:34 |
| szczur | that will remove the enttry | 23:34 |
| szczur | not the app | 23:34 |
| esing | k | 23:34 |
| szczur | esing, but wait one more time | 23:35 |
| szczur | there's a program called alacarte | 23:35 |
| szczur | also knoiw as gnome menu editor | 23:35 |
| szczur | i'll try if it works with lxpanel | 23:36 |
| szczur | this would be even easier | 23:36 |
| szczur | if not, removing the files in applications folder would be the way to go | 23:36 |
| esing | yus | 23:37 |
| szczur | you can use alacarte | 23:38 |
| szczur | it will be easier | 23:38 |
| szczur | for you | 23:38 |
| szczur | :) | 23:38 |
| szczur | sudo apt-get install alacarte | 23:38 |
| szczur | but unticking the entries wil not work | 23:38 |
| szczur | you have to remove them | 23:38 |
| szczur | same thing applies to hblount | 23:39 |
| esing | k | 23:40 |
| esing | so i do it the way u mentioned before | 23:40 |
| esing | damn my back hurts :/ | 23:40 |
| esing | i was too much on computer today i fear | 23:40 |
| szczur | :) | 23:41 |
| esing | can i edit the file off th shell either | 23:45 |
| esing | because with vi it troubles me too much | 23:46 |
| szczur | you can use nano | 23:47 |
| szczur | or gedit | 23:47 |
| esing | ah nano i remember | 23:47 |
| szczur | or whatever you want | 23:47 |
| szczur | :) | 23:47 |
| esing | thanks :) | 23:48 |
| esing | it worked | 23:49 |
| hblount | so delete the folder in usr/share? | 23:49 |
| esing | hblount you want to change submenus or the menu on the taskbar? | 23:50 |
| hblount | i want to delete shortcut in the "start menu" | 23:50 |
| esing | ok | 23:50 |
| esing | click right click on the taskbar | 23:50 |
| esing | then panel properties | 23:51 |
| esing | then panel more | 23:51 |
| esing | there you can add and delete any shortcuts on the taskbar | 23:51 |
| hblount | u mean "panel preferences"? | 23:52 |
| esing | yes | 23:52 |
| hblount | i dont see anything that lets me remove/delete shortcuts | 23:52 |
| szczur | hblount, let me specify, you'd like to remove entries in LXPanel menu (the "start" menu) | 23:53 |
| szczur | if so, use alacarte, and delete the entries you want to remove | 23:54 |
| hblount | oh. sorry i thought it didnt work. esing is doing something different than me | 23:55 |
| hblount | i guess | 23:55 |
| hblount | thanks | 23:55 |
| szczur | if you want to remove whole submenu, edit /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu file | 23:55 |
| szczur | and remove part you don't want to see | 23:55 |
| hblount | i have to use command line for alacarte? | 23:57 |
| szczur | you can run it from terminal | 23:58 |
| szczur | but it is graphical editor | 23:58 |
| szczur | so there's no thing to worry about | 23:58 |
