Unit193Is there anyway to bridge wireless and ethernet? (wireless > wired into router wan port)01:36
KutakizukariI have installed eclipse pdt, which I have to run by navigating to a folder a double clicking it. How can I add it to the menu list, or application launcher?04:04
JoeMaverickSettKutakizukari: this FQA explains how to do it; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ :)04:05
JoeMaverickSettiirc, if you copy that .desktop file to the ~/Desktop, you should/will have a launcher on the Desktop.04:08
KutakizukariWhere do I need to copy it to get it to the start menu?04:11
JoeMaverickSettKutakizukari: specifying the Category of the .desktop shall get it into the start menu, of course. as said in the FAQ04:12
JoeMaverickSette.g. Category=Applications;System;04:13
KutakizukariWas thinking that it would put it on the desktop and the start menu, just want it in the start menu.04:14
JoeMaverickSettKutakizukari: no, only issuing the copy command to the Desktop would create the icon on Desktop, if you follow the FAQ it should get it into the start menu.04:15
JoeMaverickSettjust creating a eclipse.desktop file under /usr/share/applications/ would only put it in the start menu.04:15
KutakizukariIs this right? http://pastebin.com/RrpXnctC04:23
JoeMaverickSettKutakizukari: all is well, except; NoDisplay should be set to "false" otherwise, i think it would be hidden from the menu.04:25
JoeMaverickSettKutakizukari: now, is it in the start menu? :)04:30
KutakizukariJoeMaverickSett, yes it is, now when I right click to properties to look for the eclipse file and change the icon image, then click ok it does not work.04:31
Kutakizukarikeeps the termial image and reverts back to the default folder to look for the file.04:31
Kutakizukarido I copy paste the path in the eclispe.desktop file?04:32
JoeMaverickSettKutakizukari: i think you should probably put the full path of the icon image in the .desktop file. "Icon=/path/to/pic.png"04:34
KutakizukariJoeMaverickSett, bingo, thank you for your help and patients!04:39
JoeMaverickSettKutakizukari: no problem, glad it worked out, enjoy Lubuntu ;)04:39
KutakizukariLove it! :o)04:40
JoeMaverickSetthehe, who wouldn't? :)04:40

JoeMaverickSettdavyde: there is a guide on that FAQ as well, have you tried it?10:55
davydeyes10:55
JoeMaverickSettdavyde: so, it doesn't work?10:55
davydethere is no file in /etc/default/keyboard10:55
davydei made a new one and put that 4 string but no result10:56
davydei've installed lxde from ubuntu minimal10:56

davydenow i have there is only the string i wrote.. xkbmodel it's right the one on example? ..11:13
davydei'm tryin to understand how to use that script i don't want to add a layout or change it with a button combination i want that at the start my keyboad is in "IT"11:16

davydemaybe i've only to add setxkbmap it at the end of .bashsrc?11:19

KM0201well thats kinda ridiculous.11:26
KM0201oh well, its not a big deal...11:26
KM0201lxde should implement something like gconf-editor.11:26
KM0201woops, wrong x11:29

davydei make a script keybit.sh how can it start automatically?11:31

silverlightninghi11:33
silverlightningDo you know why lubuntu will not connect online?11:34
silverlightningthe weird thing is that Ubuntu connects easily11:34
KM0201hmm, wasn't aware lxde was openbox.11:35
silverlightninglubuntu recognizes network and ask for password but still doesn't connect11:35
KM0201silverlightning, mac filtering maybe?.. if it's seeing the network and not accepting the password, then logic says it's either a bad password, or something "outside" of ubuntu.. ie.. the router.11:36
silverlightningI have googled and searched on the ubuntu forum, but I couldn't find anything11:37
silverlightningnot can't be bad password, multiple times checked and I log on fine in Ubuntu, but a different laptop11:38
KM0201silverlightning, because it doesn't sound like an ubuntu problem... honestly, it sounds like your router is not letting the machine on for some reason.. this suggests either a bad password, or mac filtering is enabled.11:38
silverlightningyes, must be router thing perhaps11:38
KM0201silverlightning, what security are you running on the router?11:39
silverlightningbut weird I logon fine from this computer, maverick11:39
silverlightningI'm not running it, I share it with my neighbor upstairs,11:39
silverlightningI only got the password really11:39
silverlightninghmm11:39
silverlightningI might have to talk to him11:40
KM0201yeah, thats a place to start....11:40
silverlightningthanks for the tip11:40
KM0201JoeMaverickSett, one final question.. id on't know how familiar you are with Gnome... but on Gnome, you can combine all open windows, into one "button" on the panel... you click that button, and you can choose what windowyou want... know of any way to do that w/ lxde?11:40
silverlightningI thought it might be something with the laptop or lubuntu, its' an old thing, I am trying  as an extra workstation, mostly online stuff11:41
KM0201this keeps you from having windows/buttons stretched all the way across the panel, keeps things cleaner, etc.11:41
KM0201silverlightning, well, it depends on how old.. for instance, if your'e trying to connect to a WPA network, and the device on the "old" laptop, is only WEP compatible..11:41
silverlightningit's antique11:42
silverlightningtiny harddrive11:42
KM0201well, that doesn't really say much.. whats the security protocol on the network, and how old is 'antique'11:42
JoeMaverickSettKM0201: i don't know how to do it, but someone here might know. :|11:42
KM0201JoeMaverickSett, it's not a huge deal... i've got it down to just buttons(i frequently have a lot of windows open) but i like that feature in gnome.11:43
silverlightningfrom 1926, and I have handle I have to wind to get it going11:43
KM0201silverlightning, while humor is nice, it doesn't really help address your problem11:43
silverlightninga bit exaggerated but it originally came with windows millennium edition, and even has a diskette station11:44
silverlightning6GB harddrive, 700 MHz processor, 500MB ram11:44
KM0201ok..11:45
KM0201so it's obviously pretty old.. now.11:45
KM0201do you know what protocol you're connecting to? (WEP, WPA, etc..?)11:45
silverlightning11 years, or so, I got it handed down,11:45
silverlightningI wanted to try different light distros like lubuntu, or something else,11:46
KM0201ok... what network protocol are you trying to connect to.11:46
silverlightningin ubuntu it connects fine to wpa11:46
KM0201ok.11:46
KM0201it's unlikely a machine that old has support for WPA... i'm guessing that's the issue (unless your'e using an external wifi adapter)11:46
silverlightningcould be11:47
KM0201it can see the network because all the scanner does, is scan for networks11:47
KM0201but it can't "connect" because the device doesn't support it.11:47
KM0201you could ask your friend to "tone it down" to WEP (which would be stupid) or buy a wireless USB adapter and connect through it.11:47
negthornhallo11:52
negthorncan I use metacity instead of Openbox as my WM ?11:53

JoeMaverickSettdavyde: sorry, i was having dinner. save that script in a folder, e.g. ~/scripts issue sudo chmod +x <script-name>.sh then open the file "sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart" then put @/full/path/to/the/<script-name>.sh12:30
JoeMaverickSettdavyde: if you're making a script for setxkbamp the easier way would be this; http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=943dd675fa6474e6721cd6b469f9c574&p=10231776&postcount=812:32

KM0201not being able to add buddies, not being able to sign on, etc.20:14

KM0201yup.20:14
MrChrisDruifCan't add buddies <_<"20:15
KM0201install it, then go to Pidgin, and in your protocol list, instead of setting up your MSN account on "MSN"... look in the list for "WLM"(windos live messenger) and give it your MSN credentials.. it'll fix your probs.20:15

KM0201and yeah, i tried changing it to ALSA20:46
