| craigbass1976 | is there another package manager that lets me browse by category? Synaptics only lets me browse by repo, unless I'm missing something | 14:52 |
| bioterror | you want something like that software center? | 14:53 |
| craigbass1976 | bioterror, right, but without installing GNOME | 14:54 |
| bioterror | well | 14:56 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install aptitude --no-install-recommends | 14:56 |
| bioterror | :D | 14:56 |
| MrChrisDruif | Aptitude searching on category? | 14:57 |
| bioterror | and then "sudo aptitude" | 14:57 |
| bioterror | you will get into the ncurses based UI | 14:57 |
| craigbass1976 | http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ I think that might be enough actually, then I can just install the package I find there. | 14:58 |
| John___ | im back | 16:17 |

| n97 | hmmm... I have Lubuntu with the netbook interface | 17:39 |
| n97 | but how di I customize it? | 17:39 |
| n97 | like adding shortcuts or adding groups on the top (like internet, work, learn) | 17:40 |
| NRWlion | adding shortcuts would be nice to know :( | 17:48 |
| Unit193 | You *can* make a .desktop file... or us ln (ln --help for more info) | 17:53 |
| NRWlion | hey hajour | 18:02 |
| odium | hi | 18:42 |
| bioterror | hi | 18:43 |
| gbear14275 | my desktop icons are gone... how do I either make new shortcuts or get them back? | 19:15 |
| bioterror | cp /usr/share/applications/bmon.desktop ~/Desktop | 19:19 |
| gbear14275 | bioterror, that might be the problem... I don't appear to have the bmon.desktop file | 20:42 |
| bioterror | it was a example | 20:43 |
| bioterror | you have other .desktop files in your /usr/share/applications/ | 20:44 |
| gbear14275 | bioterror, ah, just figured that out thanks :) | 20:44 |
| gbear14275 | bioterror, what about the home folder? | 20:46 |
