[01:57] <greg777> hello all, does anyone here know if xfce-battery-plugin will work on lxde? i'm running salix os lxde and there is no battery monitor available. attempted to install xfce-battery-plugin and it does not show up as an available applet for lxpanel
[04:55] <sebastian> hi everyone, can somebody help me please?
[05:15] <bioterror> hahaha
[05:15] <bioterror> hard to idle for a while
[06:02] <sugardrunk> :)
[11:08] <Ascavasaion> HOw do I share a directory for a windows machine toa ccess via the network?
[11:12] <bioterror> sudo apt-get install samba
[11:12] <bioterror> and edit /etc/samba/smb.conf ;)
[11:14] <Ascavasaion> bioterror, Oh, no right click share?  Aaaaw. hehe
[11:14] <bioterror> nope
[11:15] <bioterror> I tell you a secret
[11:15] <bioterror> you can use ssh to access files ;)
[11:15] <Ascavasaion> um, yes?
[11:15] <Ascavasaion> HAHA!
[11:15] <Ascavasaion> I know :)
[11:15] <bioterror> if you have another *nix computer in your network
[11:15] <Ascavasaion> But this is  aWindows 7 machine.
[11:15] <bioterror> but yeah, I use samba too as I watch movies with a networked media tank
[11:17] <Ascavasaion> One look at smb.conf and I think itis time to go back to Windows... sheesh
[11:20] <Ascavasaion> WOW, poor support for Windows file sharing hey?  I wonder why Lubuntu does not have some decent networking tools?
[11:22] <MrChrisDruif> Ascavasaion: What are you talking about?
[11:22] <MrChrisDruif> Are you talking about samba?
[11:23] <Ascavasaion> MrChrisDruif, I was hoping to share a directory on my Lununtu machine so that a Windows 7 machine can upload stuff into it... I took one look at smb.conf and realised that it is way out of my league.
[11:23] <Ascavasaion> Yes, Samba.
[11:23] <MrChrisDruif> Well...samba is also on normal Ubuntu ;)
[11:24] <MrChrisDruif> So it wouldn't get any better there..
[11:24] <Ascavasaion> MrChrisDruif, I know... hehehe
[11:24] <MrChrisDruif> And samba is the only tool for windows file-sharing in linux...
[11:24] <Ascavasaion> MrChrisDruif, Just thoght there would be a nice little application to share directories, even have it built into the file manager, but I se nothing.
[11:24] <MrChrisDruif> Dropbox?
[11:26] <Ascavasaion> E: Couldn't find package dropbox
[11:26]  * Ascavasaion sighs
[11:26] <MrChrisDruif> 2GB free, cross-platform...free upgrading to 8GB
[11:26] <Ascavasaion> I wonder why every single thing in Linux is such a mission.
[11:26] <MrChrisDruif> Dropbox isn't in the repos ofc :P
[11:26] <MrChrisDruif> Just go to dropbox.com and download the .deb
[11:27] <Ascavasaion> Of course it is not... why would Linux guys ever want to make it possible to network with Windows machines... Only the fact that 90% of the other computers it will ever link with are Windows machines heehhe
[11:27] <MrChrisDruif> There is some manually/scripting involved because it's "designed" to work with nautilus...
[11:27] <MrChrisDruif> Ascavasaion: You don't go to websites? ;)
[11:27] <Ascavasaion> Aaah man.
[11:28] <MrChrisDruif> A lot of websites run on Linux afaik
[11:28] <Ascavasaion> MrChrisDruif, hehe  You know what I meant... direct file sharing beween computers ona  network hhe
[11:28] <MrChrisDruif> xD
[11:28] <MrChrisDruif> On a network....don't you control all the machines on your network? ;)
[11:29] <MrChrisDruif> You must mean business network or something :D
[11:29] <Ascavasaion> MrChrisDruif, I do, but if it is such a mission to connect two of them, then I maya s well swap hard disks, copy the stuff and pop them back into their machines.
[11:29] <MrChrisDruif> I meant that you could install Linux on all your machines ;)
[11:30] <Ascavasaion> The one machine is not my machine.  The Windows one that is.
[11:30] <MrChrisDruif> xD
[11:32] <Ascavasaion> Druif = one grape in Afrikaans... a language in South Africa :)
[11:33] <Ascavasaion> Druif = one grape in Afrikaans... a language in South Africa :)
[11:33] <Ascavasaion> but I see you are Dutch, so you would know that hehe
[11:34] <MrChrisDruif> Druif is indeed grape in English....how every it's is indeed also Dutch and not just African :P
[11:35] <Ascavasaion> As I aid above.
[11:35] <Ascavasaion> aid=said
[11:36] <Ascavasaion> hehe
[11:36] <MrChrisDruif> :D
[11:40] <Ascavasaion> Dropbox is a flippen remote thing... argh!
[11:43] <MrChrisDruif> Ascavasaion: You could try it this (http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/) works on lubuntu
[11:43] <Ascavasaion> I wonder.
[11:43] <MrChrisDruif> (I've got neither Lubuntu installed nor Windows accessible atm)
[11:46] <MrChrisDruif> It uses an older version of Ubuntu as you can see, but should probably be working almost the same in Lubuntu....at least; that is what I hope...
[11:48] <Ascavasaion> Nop, no right click share in Lubuntu.
[11:48] <Ascavasaion> I give up, seriously... Maybe another day when I have patience for this junk.
[11:51] <MrChrisDruif> Maybe another day will someone be here who knows about this :)
[11:54] <Ascavasaion> MrChrisDruif, What is there to know?  Ubuntu has crap support for the largest operating system in the known galaxy :)
[11:58] <MrChrisDruif1> Ascavasaion: Linux has crap support for it...but there are multiple versions of samba, because Windows changed things here and there....so some version works better with XP than Vista etc...
[11:58] <MrChrisDruif1> And in what way is "it" the largest OS? ;)
[13:14] <D33R> Hi everybody
[13:29] <bioterror> Ascavasaion, hey
[13:32] <bioterror> Ascavasaion, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/565368/ add that kind of line end of your smb.conf
[13:34] <bioterror> remember to change workgroup and you're good to go ;)
[13:52] <strycore> hi
[13:53] <D33R> flash 10.2 crash on chrome
[13:53] <D33R> :(
[13:54] <D33R> nice update
[13:54] <strycore> I noticed something weird ... the first pic I see when going to the lubuntu website is a girl holding a XO Laptop, and yet I can't seem to find a clear tutorial on installing lubuntu on a OLPC XO Laptop...
[16:22] <jmarsden> strycore: If you have an XO and can write us such a tutorial, that would be great :)
[16:22] <bioterror> haha
[16:22] <bioterror> thats just mediasexy!
[16:26] <strycore> jmarsden, I'll give it a try some day
[16:26] <jmarsden> strycore: Thanks!
[16:28] <strycore> but if I get lubuntu on the XO i'd rather make images directly writtable to a SD card, making a tutorial useless (much like DebXO does for Debian)
[16:56] <endless> hello all
[16:56] <bioterror> hi
[17:11] <stlsaint> endless:
[17:11] <stlsaint> yo
[17:11] <stlsaint> bioterror: so whats going on here??
[17:11] <bioterror> atm nothing i guess
[18:59] <T44> hm, i am using xfce4-notifyd on lubuntu, and its working perfectly - except that for some reason the notifications dont disappear again
[19:00] <T44> but if i send a test message with notify-send it works fine
[19:00] <T44> its weird
[19:00] <T44> any ideas?
[19:00] <T44> (on xfce systems it works)
[19:01] <T44> i prefer xfce4-notifyd to notification-daemon or notify-osd (or whatever the gnome one was called)
[19:10] <bioterror> okay
