| nymeria | How do I change keyboard layout? | 19:04 |
| NRWlion | one moment | 19:04 |
| NRWlion | should be in the preferences - keyboard settings | 19:05 |
| nymeria | NRWlion, I just have Keyboard and mouse settings; What is the prefrence window called so that I may install that package? | 19:06 |
| NRWlion | nymeria: just a second ^^ i am new into the materia ... | 19:07 |
| nymeria | To be honest I'm running Debian with LXDE installed, but I haven't gotten an answer in the other channels I've tried so here I am :P | 19:08 |
| bioterror | xkbset something | 19:10 |
| bioterror | sorry | 19:12 |
| NRWlion | thx bio | 19:12 |
| bioterror | setxkbmap de | 19:12 |
| bioterror | or fi or no | 19:12 |
| bioterror | thats a temporary fix | 19:12 |
| bioterror | do you want it to be a permanent? | 19:13 |
| nymeria | bioterror, Yes I would like it permanent | 19:13 |
| bioterror | okay | 19:14 |
| bioterror | just a moment | 19:14 |
| nymeria | Thank you | 19:14 |
| bioterror | okay | 19:16 |
| bioterror | ill dig it from my arch as it doesnt use xorg.conf | 19:16 |
| bioterror | using phone, so i will flood soon | 19:18 |
| bioterror | /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf | 19:18 |
| bioterror | Section "InputClass" | 19:19 |
| bioterror | Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall" | 19:19 |
| bioterror | MatchIsKeyboard "on" | 19:19 |
| nymeria | And if I want to use the dvorak variation of the se layout; how would I enter that/ | 19:19 |
| bioterror | MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" | 19:19 |
| bioterror | Option "XkbLayout" "fi" | 19:19 |
| bioterror | Driver "evdev" | 19:19 |
| bioterror | EndSection | 19:19 |
| bioterror | you should add that kind of line as XkbLayout | 19:20 |
| bioterror | replace fi with dvorak | 19:20 |
| bioterror | thats how it is done in arch, i dont have a lubuntu machine near me | 19:21 |
| nymeria | ButI want se dvorak; Dvorak with Swedish characters. It's a variation of the se layout | 19:21 |
| nymeria | bioterror, I found it in xorg.conf here on Debian | 19:21 |
| bioterror | you have xorg.conf? | 19:21 |
| nymeria | bioterror, I do indeed. And as of that I suppose Squeeze still uses xorg.conf instead of xorg.conf.d | 19:22 |
| bioterror | how primitiv :D | 19:22 |
| bioterror | e | 19:22 |
| bioterror | i have no idea of sv dvorak | 19:23 |
| bioterror | might need some googling | 19:23 |
| bioterror | im a qwerty user | 19:23 |
| nymeria | Give Dvorak 2 weeks of frustration and you will never look back. Though avoid the Windows layout switcher, it's absolute bullcrap. Use something like an autohotkey script instead :P | 19:25 |
| bioterror | i wont, i need to use qwerty at my work | 19:25 |
| bioterror | as i neeed other peoples keyboards | 19:25 |
| bioterror | it would make me confused | 19:26 |
| nymeria | bioterror, What do you work with? On site tech support? | 19:26 |
| bioterror | exactly | 19:26 |
| bioterror | I used to service sun microsystems computers, but then came oracle | 19:27 |
| nymeria | Along came Oracle... | 19:27 |
| bioterror | totally | 19:28 |
| nymeria | Along came Polly was a really bad movie... | 19:28 |
| nymeria | So now when your Oracle overlord is in place, what do you do? | 19:29 |
| bioterror | I wonder active directory | 19:30 |
| nymeria | I'm starting to get worried about this sound of what seems to be a harddrive shutting down at random. | 19:32 |
| nymeria | Oh but it's not at random. It's shutting down because I'm not using it. No need to worry. | 19:35 |
| bioterror | those spindowns can be disabled | 19:35 |
| nymeria | If there is one thing that I want to spin down it's the CPU fan on a computer that I recently built. It makes an enormous amount of sound even though the system is idle and the CPU is 27 Celsius. Ridiculous. | 19:37 |
| bioterror | make it passive :D | 19:37 |
| nymeria | Well that won't go well now will it :P | 19:38 |
| bioterror | my atom330 is passive and its on 24/7 | 19:38 |
| nymeria | I need a huge ginormous fan that does 300rpm and pushes the same amount of air as this small one at 8000 | 19:39 |
| nymeria | Well this is a Phenom II X6 1055T | 19:39 |
| bioterror | :D | 19:39 |
| nymeria | Six cores makes everything fly by | 19:39 |
| bioterror | i can hardly utilize 2 cores | 19:40 |
| nymeria | And it should be overclockable from 2.8 to 3.2GHz without the system becoming too unstable :P | 19:40 |
| nymeria | It has the same processing power as a Core i7 920 but costs 100euro less | 19:41 |
| bioterror | is it black edition or whats the name | 19:41 |
| nymeria | Nope, don't think so | 19:42 |
| nymeria | But they are redicilously cheap if you want that power. 140euro including shipping. | 19:42 |
| nymeria | A core i7 920 goes for 255euros. But they are out of the factory at this time so the comparison in prize doesn't really work any more. But it was the situation four months ago | 19:45 |
| bioterror | they have sandy bridge nao | 19:45 |
| bioterror | we can move this conv to #lubuntu-offtopic | 19:45 |
| bioterror | this is for support ;) | 19:45 |

| silverlightning | hi | 21:05 |
| Unit193 | Hello silverlightning | 21:06 |
| silverlightning | I am trying different lightweight distros to go with an old laptop | 21:06 |
| Unit193 | What are you looking at now? | 21:10 |
| finwin | hi | 21:22 |
| Unit193 | Heya finwin | 21:23 |
| finwin | can i edit apt mirrorlist? how? | 21:24 |
| finwin | some mirrors are down...i cant update my system | 21:25 |
| finwin | anyone? | 21:25 |
| silverlightning | I am burning lubuntu | 21:26 |
| silverlightning | does lubuntu have a built in partiontion table and formatting program? | 21:27 |
| Unit193 | silverlightning: Yeah | 21:28 |
| silverlightning | oh good | 21:28 |
| kosaidpo| | Unit193 wht does silverlightning means ?? can you pls ecplain to me | 21:44 |
| Unit193 | kosaidpo|: It's the persons nick | 21:45 |
| kosaidpo| | hihi Unit193i kno i mean wht he says wht does it mean :P | 21:45 |
| Unit193 | He's asking if he can use the LiveCD to setup dual boot (I'm guessing) | 21:46 |
| silverlightning | hmm | 21:47 |
| silverlightning | I'm running the installation process now | 21:48 |
| Unit193 | Any issues? | 21:48 |
| silverlightning | how does lubuntu compare to DSL and Puppy? | 21:48 |
| kosaidpo| | hihihi pretty funni i tho hes askin abt some pogram like gparted but the name he says was confudin to me so i tho i wud ask since its free and amusing in this room :D | 21:49 |
| kosaidpo| | and thanks | 21:49 |
| NRWlion | first i had a dual boot too ^^ but one day after i put the Live CD back in and completely erased the Winshit Partition :D | 21:49 |
| silverlightning | no, so far pretty smooth on a very old laptop | 21:49 |
| NRWlion | and i do NOT regret it | 21:49 |
| silverlightning | no dual boot, | 21:49 |
| finwin | i tried to install peppermint os to my hd...installation failed | 21:49 |
| silverlightning | I though I had to erase and manage the harddisk manually, but it did it automatically | 21:50 |
| Unit193 | silverlightning: lubuntu aims to be a full desktop and small puppy and DSL mainly aim to be small | 21:50 |
| silverlightning | hmm, I think puppy is ambitious | 21:50 |
| finwin | silverlight...ubuntu based distros do "everything" automatically | 21:50 |
| finwin | like windows | 21:51 |
| silverlightning | ubuntu is too large to even go on the harddisk on this one lol | 21:51 |
| silverlightning | it's an experiment | 21:51 |
| silverlightning | though I really like Puppy | 21:51 |
| finwin | i tried puppy but i did not have driver for my wireless | 21:52 |
| Unit193 | MoonOS and Bodhi might be good to look at (still in beta) | 21:52 |
| finwin | it did* | 21:52 |
| finwin | sry | 21:52 |
| kosaidpo| | guys how can i install only sql lite pdo extention | 21:54 |
| silverlightning | which version of puppy did you try? | 21:54 |
| silverlightning | my both my laptops connected automatically with puppy 520, but not the very old one | 21:55 |
| Unit193 | Does LucidPuppy work with apt-get and ubuntu/getdeb/launchpad repos? | 21:56 |
| silverlightning | yes | 21:57 |
| silverlightning | I think so | 21:57 |
| silverlightning | but ask the experts in the #puppylinux forum | 21:57 |
| silverlightning | i think lubuntu might be more ready for used right after install | 21:57 |
| silverlightning | I talked to a guy who has made Puppy his main OS, and he uses linux and ubuntu drivers, and it works | 22:02 |
| silverlightning | not a lot of software is adapted espcially for puppy | 22:02 |
| silverlightning | that is the major advantage with lubuntu I think | 22:02 |
| silverlightning | If I run the partition table in lubuntu, is it possible to format the entire harddisk with ext3 filing system, and still have lubuntu? | 22:05 |
| Unit193 | Change it after you install? | 22:06 |
| silverlightning | no, I suppose I would have to eraze everything then? | 22:06 |
| silverlightning | but I could install puppy as frugal then, only using 350MB for Puppy | 22:07 |
| hosoka | hello | 22:12 |

| GMH[win] | sorry, i'm totally new to lubuntu | 22:56 |
| MrChrisDruif | I'm gonna burn a Lubuntu boot-up disk...than I can make a dual-boot for Lubuntu and Ubuntu :P | 22:56 |
| GMH[win] | was looking for a lighter graphical environment for an old computer with limited ram; the folks at #ubuntu told me about this and pointed me here | 22:56 |
| GMH[win] | is there a shortcut to show the desktop? | 22:57 |
| MrChrisDruif | GMH[win]: I don't know :| | 22:58 |
| MrChrisDruif | Sorry....mind = gone <_<" | 22:58 |
