[00:27] 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] medibuntu and getdeb repos (maybe lubuntu-restricted-extras) === ridin is now known as ridin3 [12:11] i have a question how do i install netgear wn311b? [12:13] John___, you dont see it in the restricted drivers [12:14] i already activate it but no wireless [12:15] ifconfig doesnt show it? [12:17] it didnt show [12:17] you have to use ndiswrapper, I think [12:18] i already install it but still i have the same problem [12:19] hold on i'll be back [12:26] ok im back [12:27] it still wont work but when i run lspci it show my wireless [12:28] does ifconfig then list it? [12:28] only eth0 and lo [12:28] so no [12:29] i'll tried and it figure it out by google it [12:29] i mean i will try to figure it out [12:29] ndiswrapper and .cab files from cd [14:52] 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] you want something like that software center? [14:54] bioterror, right, but without installing GNOME [14:56] well [14:56] sudo apt-get install aptitude --no-install-recommends [14:56] :D [14:57] Aptitude searching on category? [14:57] and then "sudo aptitude" [14:57] you will get into the ncurses based UI [14:58] http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ I think that might be enough actually, then I can just install the package I find there. [16:17] im back [16:17] Welcome back John___ :) [16:19] my wireless card work and now i have problem connecting by wicd [16:22] I saw someone with the same problem a while ago...

[16:24] Don't know either :P [16:24] i am happy to have my system running now :D [16:24] I saw it mention a few days back I think [16:25] Wicd is an open source wired and wireless network manager for Linux. [16:25] next step is to install a localhost to do my webdesign / programming ;) [16:25] John___: Doesn't Lubuntu use gnome's wireless manager? [16:26] yes i tried that and couldnt connect [16:26] on wireless [16:27] John___: Weird....it's pretty good afaik === meetingology` is now known as meetingology [17:39] hmmm... I have Lubuntu with the netbook interface [17:39] but how di I customize it? [17:40] like adding shortcuts or adding groups on the top (like internet, work, learn) [17:48] adding shortcuts would be nice to know :( [17:53] You *can* make a .desktop file... or us ln (ln --help for more info) [18:02] hey hajour [18:42] hi [18:43] hi [19:15] my desktop icons are gone... how do I either make new shortcuts or get them back? [19:19] cp /usr/share/applications/bmon.desktop ~/Desktop [20:42] bioterror, that might be the problem... I don't appear to have the bmon.desktop file [20:43] it was a example [20:44] you have other .desktop files in your /usr/share/applications/ [20:44] bioterror, ah, just figured that out thanks :) [20:46] bioterror, what about the home folder? [20:47] ? [20:53] gbear14275, you want desktop icon that opens a view to your home directory? [20:54] bioterror, yes please [20:55] make home.desktop to your ~/Desktop and put http://paste.ubuntu.com/568906/ those inside it [21:05] holas [21:05] como puedo configurar que los iconos se vean mas pequeños?
