[00:27] <gbear14275> anyone have any pointers to good articles for "what to do after you install lubuntu?"   I just installed and want to make sure all the multimedia and other repos are installed.
[00:30] <Unit193> medibuntu and getdeb repos (maybe lubuntu-restricted-extras)
[12:11] <John___> i have a question how do i install netgear wn311b?
[12:13] <bioterror> John___, you dont see it in the restricted drivers
[12:14] <John___> i already activate it but no wireless
[12:15] <bioterror> ifconfig doesnt show it?
[12:17] <John___> it didnt show
[12:17] <bioterror> you have to use ndiswrapper, I think
[12:18] <John___> i already install it but still i have the same problem
[12:19] <John___> hold on i'll be back
[12:26] <John___> ok im back
[12:27] <John___> it still wont work but when i run lspci it show my wireless
[12:28] <bioterror> does ifconfig then list it?
[12:28] <John___> only eth0 and lo
[12:28] <bioterror> so no
[12:29] <John___> i'll tried and it figure it out by google it
[12:29] <John___> i mean i will try to figure it out
[12:29] <bioterror> ndiswrapper and .cab files from cd
[14:52] <craigbass1976> is there another package manager that lets me browse by category?  Synaptics only lets me browse by repo, unless I'm missing something
[14:53] <bioterror> you want something like that software center?
[14:54] <craigbass1976> bioterror, right, but without installing GNOME
[14:56] <bioterror> well
[14:56] <bioterror> sudo apt-get install aptitude --no-install-recommends
[14:56] <bioterror> :D
[14:57] <MrChrisDruif> Aptitude searching on category?
[14:57] <bioterror> and then "sudo aptitude"
[14:57] <bioterror> you will get into the ncurses based UI
[14:58] <craigbass1976> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/   I think that might be enough actually, then I can just install the package I find there.
[16:17] <John___> im back
[16:17] <MrChrisDruif> Welcome back John___ :)
[16:19] <John___> my wireless card work and now i have problem connecting by wicd
[16:22] <MrChrisDruif> I saw someone with the same problem a while ago...
[16:22] <MrChrisDruif> But I don't know how it got solved...if it got solved :)
[16:23] <NRWlion> hey chris
[16:23] <NRWlion> you are not talking about me, are you?
[16:23] <NRWlion> *laugh*
[16:24] <MrChrisDruif> NRWlion: Might be....did you have wicd problems?
[16:24] <NRWlion> wicd?
[16:24] <NRWlion> whats that?
[16:24] <MrChrisDruif> Don't know either :P
[16:24] <NRWlion> i am happy to have my system running now :D
[16:24] <MrChrisDruif> I saw it mention a few days back I think
[16:25] <John___> Wicd is an open source wired and wireless network manager for Linux.
[16:25] <NRWlion> next step is to install a localhost to do my webdesign / programming ;)
[16:25] <MrChrisDruif> John___: Doesn't Lubuntu use gnome's wireless manager?
[16:26] <John___> yes i tried that and couldnt connect
[16:26] <John___> on wireless
[16:27] <MrChrisDruif> John___: Weird....it's pretty good afaik
[17:39] <n97> hmmm... I have Lubuntu with the netbook interface
[17:39] <n97> but how di I customize it?
[17:40] <n97> like adding shortcuts or adding groups on the top (like internet, work, learn)
[17:48] <NRWlion> adding shortcuts would be nice to know :(
[17:53] <Unit193> You *can* make a .desktop file... or us ln (ln --help for more info)
[18:02] <NRWlion> hey hajour
[18:42] <odium> hi
[18:43] <bioterror> hi
[19:15] <gbear14275> my desktop icons are gone...  how do I either make new shortcuts or get them back?
[19:19] <bioterror> cp /usr/share/applications/bmon.desktop ~/Desktop
[20:42] <gbear14275> bioterror, that might be the problem... I don't appear to have the bmon.desktop file
[20:43] <bioterror> it was a example
[20:44] <bioterror> you have other .desktop files in your /usr/share/applications/
[20:44] <gbear14275> bioterror, ah, just figured that out thanks :)
[20:46] <gbear14275> bioterror, what about the home folder?
[20:47] <bioterror> ?
[20:53] <bioterror> gbear14275, you want desktop icon that opens a view to your home directory?
[20:54] <gbear14275> bioterror, yes please
[20:55] <bioterror> make home.desktop to your ~/Desktop and put http://paste.ubuntu.com/568906/ those inside it
[21:05] <lab> holas
[21:05] <lab> como puedo configurar que los iconos se vean mas pequeños?
[21:05] <bioterror> english please
[21:06] <lab> =(
[21:15] <phillw> bioterror: drat, where is pedro when you need him!
[21:15] <bioterror> I dunno
[21:15] <gbear14275> bioterror, where is home.desktop
[21:16] <phillw> bioterror: lab was asking about resizing icons
[21:21] <bioterror> gbear14275, create one, as in make one yourself
