[01:43] hiho [01:43] Hai esing :) [01:44] wo? :D [01:44] You? [01:44] :P [01:44] hehe [01:44] How's it going? [01:44] Iam rather a yellowbelly than a hai [01:44] :D [01:45] thanks alls fine here [01:45] iam searching an audio player for only shell at the moment [01:45] (having another partition without desktop environment [01:45] aplay? [01:45] ;) [01:45] aplay :D [01:46] i download it now and try it [01:46] Isn't it installed by default? :P [01:46] dunno ^^ [01:46] ah [01:46] In Arch you use it to test the sound :P [01:46] my second partition is not lubuntu [01:46] i have on 2nd partition debian [01:46] I run Ubuntu ;) [01:47] aplay bash: aplay: command not found [01:47] ^^ [01:47] I wanted LXDE therefore I chose lubuntu :D [01:49] aplay bash? [01:49] Meh.... "aplay /path/to/wav/or.mp3" [01:51] Otherwise...sudo apt-get install aplay ofc....but there must be better audioplayer for terminal [02:21] MrChrisDruif: cmus is one possibility [02:22] jmarsden: esing was looking for a terminal audioplayer...if I remember it still tomorrow...I'll tell him :) [02:24] Sounds good. BTW I did apt-cache search mp3 | sort |less and then read the list to see any entries that mentioned terminal or cli or curses :) [02:27] MrChrisDruif: how about the Sox library? it has a 'play ' app. [02:28] Alright....like aplay? === quem_ is now known as quem === quem_ is now known as quem === quem_ is now known as quem [06:56] i was wondering if i could get a little help getting my apps to autostart or just a really basic tutorial will suffice. [06:56] on login? [06:57] yeah it says to make a .desktop file and so forth, but im not sure what that is or where my autostart folder is. [06:57] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ [06:57] there's at the bottom [06:57] I've made a good example [06:58] should work like a charm [07:05] cp /usr/share/applications/urxvtd.desktop ~/.config/autostart/ do i insert the name of the application in there some where? im a bit confused [07:05] replace that urxvtd what ever you're needing [07:05] ofcourse [07:08] it is saying there is no such file or directory. [07:08] sorry. really new to linux [07:09] which program you're trying to load [07:10] i would like compiz and emerald. i dont use gnome just because it is too slow and i like the lubuntu. i know its weird :( [07:11] you might have to make yourself compiz.desktop and emerald.desktop if those are not found from /usr/share/applications/ [07:11] you can make them to .config/autostart [07:12] alright that sounds good. im not good with "make to" so the ".desktop" is a hidden file right? [07:12] nope [07:12] it's something.desktop [07:13] that's in the FAQ too [07:13] there's a link to documentation about .desktop -files [07:23] i guess i did something wrong bio [07:23] what did you do then [07:25] i figured the only thing i would need to edit was the name and the exec which was both "emerald" then i inserted the name in the appropriate places. it didnt start on login [07:29] ill be back bio. see if i missed something [07:34] did you now get it working [07:34] no. i feel stupid :( [07:34] do you have those two activated in that something [07:34] it is in my autostart, but i guess i just went wrong in the making of the file [07:35] I cant access that FAQ from here, for a mystical reason [07:35] do have them activated in that? [07:36] read the faq [07:36] there's explaned that you have to activate the autostart from the menu [07:36] yeah thats what i said. i made sure it was selected to autostart [07:37] in terminal [07:37] which emerald [07:37] which compiz [07:37] and add the lines to exec [07:40] so i add usr/bin/emerald to exec? [07:41] it starts always with / [07:41] /usr/bin/emerald [07:41] oh yeah sorry [07:45] alright so /usr/bin/emerald should be the only thing in exec and that should execute the "emerald command" [07:46] im gonna give it a try [07:47] * jmarsden wonders why psyklown can't stay on IRC while editing a small text file? Something seems odd about that to me. [07:47] he tests that by logging out and in [07:47] reni raus [07:47] rein raus ;) [07:48] Would be much more sane to test by clicking on the .desktop file, wouldn't it? Then when that works, test autorunning it? [07:48] well, it would be too easy [07:48] :) [07:48] it doesnt have that feeling of doing something [08:05] my god i finally got it working [08:07] I hope you have now a satisfied feeling [08:10] lol yeah. well when i first that that command "sudo nano /usr/share/applications/emerald.desktop" it was just a blank file and i thought i had to make one. so i made one and then copied it over it didnt work. this was with emerald. so i used that same command with compiz and i actually got a file with text. i copied it over and i think it activates emerald too [08:11] seems like you learned alot ;) [08:11] lol yeah. that i cant make a working executable for autostart [08:14] but you get those two autostart now? [08:14] and you have a 3D lubuntu desktop? ;) [08:15] hi all [08:15] seems like you have a new problem, kristian-aalborg? ;) [08:15] bioterror: what? [08:16] you usally join when you have something to ask ;) [08:16] is that wrong? [08:16] nope [08:16] bioterror yes i did get them to autostart. very content :) [08:18] I also help when I can, as opposed to calling people trolls... [08:18] would anyone have tried Lubuntu on a Thinkpad circa 2002-2005... it seems like it would go down very well [08:19] T40, T60 [08:19] does it satisfy you [08:19] something with about 1.5 Ghz and 1 gig of ram [08:19] bioterror: shall we bury the hatchet? [08:19] my wife is running lubuntu all the time on her T40p [08:20] everything is okay as long as you dont have to deal with broadcom chipsets [08:20] lol yeah i have the wretched broadcom [08:24] kristian-aalborg, but I can tell you that T series thinkpads have always worked well with *nixes [08:25] with R-series I have no experience, X -series are too working well [08:25] IBM likes linux and are serious about standards [08:25] mostly the problems are with graphics [08:26] I think that goes for any graphics card manufacturer, more or less [08:26] I'm not going to need 3d, I think [08:27] how's surfing on the T40? [08:28] fine [08:28] flash is okay? [08:28] comes from the restricted [08:28] * kristian-aalborg hates flash as much as the next guy, but it's everywhere [08:28] and I've got propietary java from the partner repo [08:28] yes, I was thinking about the rendering [08:28] my wife plays some games at facebook === quem_ is now known as quem [08:29] some may be a little laggy [08:29] but youtube works well for example [08:29] the 2g surf I put lubuntu on can't play youtube [08:32] psyklown, you got all the window borders working too without a problem? [08:32] bioterror do you mean emerald? [08:32] yeah [08:33] do I remember right, that it requires some "themes" [08:33] yeah i think whenever i got compiz to autostart it starts emerald too like they start together for some reason. even though i dont think i technically got emerald to autostart [08:34] it can be possible that compiz needs emerald and it launches it [08:34] it was like years ago when I played with those [08:34] as they were cool n hip ;) [08:35] yeah i just use it because lubuntu seems a bit dull graphically. this gives my laptop a more elegant look when i add the themes and such [08:36] yeah, now you can show it to your windows friends ;) [08:37] lol well i use windows too and all my friends are gamers so they really arent impressed by themes. we use high end graphics for gaming, but it does look nice. [08:40] box crashed, sorry [08:41] is there a 64 bit 10.04 lubuntu? [08:42] only if you make installation from mini.iso [08:42] ah. okay [08:42] bioterror: Is there a technical reason for that, or just that no-one created a 64but Lubuntu ISO image yet? [08:43] s/64but/64bit/ [08:43] jmarsden, I think no one [08:43] and seems like 32bit packages are priority #1 [08:44] I tried 10.10 64bit and it didnt work as well as 32bit, then I upgraded to 11.04 as 64bit and I decided that I'll use arch from now on as my desktop computer ;) [08:45] bioterror: Understood, but I have a big beefy 64bit workstations I am typing on... maybe I can build a 64bit Lubuntu ISO one day. But not today, it is approaching 1am here and I should go to bed. Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS here on the main workstation. Lubuntu and all kinds of other things in virtual machines :) [08:45] 10.04.1 I mean, 10.04.2 is not out yet :) [08:45] having broadcom i have had a hard time with linux. if i use 10.04 ubuntu and lubuntu recognize my firmware. if i upgrade to any other version. my firmware is no longer recognize. the weirdest thing. [08:46] recognized* [08:47] bioterror: have you experienced "flexing" problems with the T40? [08:47] It's best to research Linux compatibility before getting your credit card out :) [08:47] kristian-aalborg, you mean that fan is keeping noises? [08:48] bioterror: I think he means his fan is full of dirt and stops and so his machine overheats. [08:48] that's normal :D [08:48] get yourself another and replace the fan [08:48] remove keyboard and so on [08:48] it's easy on older stinkpads [08:50] well im out. thanks for the help bio [08:50] np [08:50] one satisfied customer ;) [08:51] bioterror: I heard on #thinkpad-forum that the T40 has a tendency to have components go loose on the motherboard [08:51] jmarsden, but the problem with 64bit is really that packages and stuff aint as up-to-date what seems to be with 32bit [08:51] bioterror: Can you explain? They are build from the same sources, they should be exactly as up to date! [08:52] When I upload a source package to my PPA it gets built for both i386 and amd64... [08:57] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxappearance/+bug/690318 still nothing has happened [09:02] bioterror: That's only six weeks old! I ahve bugs that are two years old still in LP :) [09:11] jmarsden, yeah, it's not important. as 32bit doesnt have this problem.... [09:12] bioterror: so, all in all you'd recommend the T40? [09:12] No, you just need to be more patient :) I have bugs that are not 32bit or 64bit specific that have waited MUCH longer than six weeks :) [09:13] kristian-aalborg, or T60, T61, T42, but I prefer that little p -letter ;) [09:13] as in pentium? [09:13] kristian-aalborg, that means that panel is 1400x1050 ;) [09:13] and usually bt and wifi [09:13] ah [09:14] jmarsden, I've got some problems with chemistry in my brains, I'm not at good with that kind of patience ;) [09:14] bioterror: Then you should just work on fixing the bug yourself and adding the fix to the bug report :) [09:15] I don't use bt, but wifi is essential... will have to ask seller if it's included [09:15] yeah, that's the thing what FOSS is about === quem_ is now known as quem === quem_ is now known as quem === quem_ is now known as quem === quem_ is now known as quem [12:46] hi [12:47] Hai leszek :) [16:11] Would somebody direct me to the .MD5 checksum for the current release of Lubuntu's .ISO? [16:12] I am at a loss to find it on the web site [16:17] gandsnut: it should be here in the release announcement: http://lubuntu.net/blog/lubuntu-1010-released [16:25] thanks [16:34] hi. i tethered my lg ally smartphone (android) to my laptop (10.10) for mobile broadband with an app "easytether". i can browse web, do irc, everything but make torrents connect. any idea what i can do to fix? [16:54] anyone know how i can get my horizontal scroll to work for my acer laptop? [16:58] hblount: for tethering you need to open the ports for torrent [17:01] hblount: for the touchpad there is a command line tool called synclient take a look at its manpage there should be an option for switching that on [17:02] hblount: synclient HorizEdgeScroll=1 should fix the problem [17:03] cool [17:03] if you want it to have it default you need create a autostart entry for this, please take a look at the wiki on how to do that [17:17] i am trying to use the program nicotine but everytime i start it, it asks me to choose download folder again. it says "can't create directory, error, permission denied" how do i fix this? [17:18] also, how do you open ports with my tether smartphone? [17:19] leszek, i tried to google "lubuntu autostart wiki" but i cant find it. what do i search for? [17:24] hblount: I don't know how to open that ports on your smartphone [17:25] ok. do you know about permission denied error for nicotine program? [17:28] i can't find autostart wiki on google [17:29] nicotine ? I don't know the app [17:29] fileshare app [17:29] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ [17:39] nicotine is a filesharing app. i have to choose download folder every time i open and it says error "can't create directory, error, permission denied" [17:43] the command on the wiki doesnt work for me [17:44] cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/applications/urxvtd.desktop': No such file or directory [17:47] hi [17:47] how to fix missing plugins in chromium browser for lubuntu [17:53] how do i make a command autostart when i turn on computer? [17:59] Is this for Lubuntu? [18:01] will Lubuntu run fast enough on a PIII 768MHz with 128MB RAM? [18:02] Nah [18:04] mark76: no? [18:04] I'm pretty sure it won't. But I could be wrong [18:05] how about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReleaseNotes/LucidLynx ? [18:05] "To use the graphical installer from the live-cd, you need at least 160 MB of memory." << can I choose a text based installed? [18:05] (it's funny though that the installer requires more memory than the OS itself, and ironic) [18:08] I imagine you could. Though I've never heard of one [18:09] But there must be an alternative install for Lubuntu [18:09] yes there is [18:09] Yay [18:09] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/AlternateInstall [18:11] oh, cool... [18:13] hmm, download link broken [18:13] is that the newest version of Lubuntu though? 10.10 [18:16] Yes [18:16] nice [18:20] how do i make a command autostart on bootup? [18:26] i tried "cp /usr/share/applications/urxvtd.desktop ~/.config/autostart/" [18:26] error: [18:26] cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/applications/urxvtd.desktop': No such file or directory [18:26] it's just example [18:26] ;) [18:27] Have you tried cp /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart /home/you/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu? [18:27] damn [18:27] mark76, what? [18:28] ok i want to make "synclient HorizEdgeScroll=1" execute when i startup [18:28] how do i do that? [18:28] you make synclient.desktop [18:28] to the .config/autostart/ folder [18:29] and that line is the "exec" line [18:33] i dont see autostart folder in .config [18:34] i see lxpanel, lxterminal, other stuff [18:44] hblount, I guess you can mkdir it [18:46] ok i make autostart folder. how to i make the command work [18:48] ffffuuuu [18:48] I removed [18:48] my file [18:48] :D [18:51] hblount, http://pastebin.com/PfN4TSpp [18:51] I cant make this any more easy for you [18:53] so i just type that in terminal? [18:54] you make something.desktop into your .config/autostart [18:54] and then you start Desktop Session Settings from the menu's preferences as the FAQ says [18:56] what do i start in desktop session settings [18:58] sorry, but I really cant move the mouse cursor for you [18:58] how hard I wish I could [18:59] yes, i am noob. but you are also poor explainer and get impatient because your instructions arent clear for noob [18:59] thanks anyway [18:59] everyone else that helped me hear crystal clear [18:59] here* [19:02] maybe someone else gives him some help next time instead of me [21:47] Is there a GUI program to make the mouse larger? [22:01] oh [22:01] gnewb, should be [22:01] I just came to my lappy to check it out [22:02] bioterror: Thank you, I tried a few from the Synaptic thing, no such animal, yet [22:02] lxappearance is the program and uses name Customize look and feel in the preferences [22:02] bioterror: Thank you, fetching now. [22:02] lxappearance is default program [22:03] bioterror: where is that located? [22:04] Wed00:02 lxappearance is the program and uses name Customize look and feel in the preferences [22:07] ok, thank you, is CLI === szczur_ is now known as szczur
