| Na_Klar | is there a lubuntu-server version? | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| MrChrisDruif | Na_Klar: Not that I'm aware of, should there be? | 00:07 |
| Na_Klar | Hm .. servers like to be lightwigthed ;-) | 00:07 |
| Na_Klar | *lightwighted | 00:08 |
| MrChrisDruif | Na_Klar: There wouldn't be a need for a LXDE server ;) | 00:08 |
| MrChrisDruif | Servers don't have a gui afaik | 00:08 |
| Na_Klar | that point of view is not very recent | 00:09 |
| Na_Klar | rdesktop is a powerful way to manage servesr | 00:09 |
| MrChrisDruif | rdesktop? | 00:10 |
| Na_Klar | is lubuntu just about the gui to assure lightness? .. i expected also the architecture is minimized | 00:10 |
| gnewb | How do I assign macros or keysets , like Alt+Super will start program xyz, Super+T will launch program wxy and so on? | 00:10 |
| MrChrisDruif | gnewb: I've seen your nick before, how's it going? :) | 00:11 |
| MrChrisDruif | Can't help you, still on gnome | 00:11 |
| gnewb | MrChrisDruif: Is all good here, Thank you, how have you been? | 00:11 |
| MrChrisDruif | Na_Klar: Afaik the lightness is gui only | 00:11 |
| MrChrisDruif | gnewb: Busy.....mind wasn't functioning as normal......going through some stuff... | 00:12 |
| Na_Klar | oh .. shame on me ^^ .. I was too fast understanding lubuntu concept .. appearently :P | 00:12 |
| MrChrisDruif | Na_Klar: Afaik they didn't make some special kernel mode or something....so gui only afaik :) | 00:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | But I think if you ask gilir when he's around (head dev) he can explain everything you could only want to know....and then some | 00:14 |
| Na_Klar | well .. it is a pity .. one somehow should mix arch-linux with lxde xD | 00:14 |
| MrChrisDruif | pacman -Syyu lxde ?? | 00:14 |
| gnewb | Lubuntu uses the X11 environment it is built on the energy saving Ubuntu variant using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. | 00:15 |
| MrChrisDruif | Na_Klar: Arch got some awesome documentation.....it should guide you through the process of installing lxde | 00:15 |
| Na_Klar | yea, i will have a look. ty so far | 00:16 |
| Unit193 | gnewb: edit this file: ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml | 00:18 |
| gnewb | Unit193: Thank you. | 00:18 |
| Unit193 | I like the xkill one :) | 00:19 |
| gnewb | Unit193: I keep forgetting about the Openbox conf | 00:20 |
| Unit193 | gnewb: Tell me if you find anything fun in there ;) | 00:20 |
| MrChrisDruif | Isn't it ALL fun in there Unit193? | 00:21 |
| gnewb | Unit183: I always find fun stuff in Conky or any .conf | 00:21 |

| seal | hi everyone i'm new but I have successfullt intsalled lubuntu plus xp before. I just installed same thing dual boot lubuntu 10.10 next to xp sp3 on my laptop. The problem - I cannot boot xp up again | 00:57 |
| seal | Please help | 00:57 |
| seal | Anyone here that can help ;) | 01:00 |
| Na_Klar | seal, well wenn both installations are native it is more a windows problem. what error do you get? | 01:04 |
| seal | I do not get an erro - it just goes straith to grub menu | 01:04 |
| seal | but win pro does not show up at the bottolist | 01:05 |
| Na_Klar | seal, that does not sound good. Check your filesystem if you can find windows at all | 01:05 |
| seal | @Na_Klar I found all the files and I have tried to re-install windows but this to no avail | 01:07 |
| meetingology | seal: Error: "Na_Klar" is not a valid command. | 01:07 |
| Na_Klar | lol | 01:07 |
| seal | by bad | 01:07 |
| Na_Klar | well, did you use different partitions for the two installations? | 01:08 |
| seal | its painful - I shrinked the windows partition | 01:08 |
| seal | actually the partitions were already there since I had a previous lubuntu there | 01:10 |
| seal | but I re-installed lubuntu | 01:10 |
| seal | i'm out | 01:23 |

| ubuntu__ | morning | 07:31 |
| ubuntu__ | trying out LUBUNTU and chrome doesnt have the flash plug in...how can i install this | 07:32 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 07:32 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install lubuntu-resctricted-extras | 07:32 |
| ubuntu__ | ? sorry newbie here | 07:33 |
| ubuntu__ | hello? | 07:34 |
| bioterror | open terminal | 07:34 |
| bioterror | and and put those commands in there | 07:34 |
| bioterror | !terminal | ubuntu__ | 07:34 |
| ubot5 | ubuntu__: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 07:34 |
| ubuntu__ | unable to locate package...i guess i have to install it before hand...thanks...trying out the live cd | 07:37 |
| bioterror | oh | 07:38 |
| bioterror | livecd's are like that, so limited :D | 07:38 |
| bioterror | you must do first "sudo apt-get update" to load the repositories | 07:38 |
| bioterror | then you can install those | 07:38 |
| ubuntu__ | ohh ok....thats straight fr ubuntu right? | 07:38 |
| ubuntu__ | thinking if i should install mint 10 or lubuntu | 07:39 |
| bioterror | lubuntu | 07:39 |
| bioterror | you can update it without a problems :D | 07:39 |
| bioterror | I had mint and the update process if mostly "re-install!" | 07:40 |
| ubuntu__ | yikes | 07:41 |
| bioterror | is mostly even | 07:41 |
| ubuntu__ | what is ur take on moon os and ylmf...gonna try it this weekend | 07:44 |
| ubuntu__ | sooooooooo quiet in here :) | 07:45 |
| ubuntu__ | ill try lubuntu install this weekend too...thanks bio | 07:48 |
| Unit193 | I don't think ylmf is updated that much, seemed kinda buggy and doesn't look as much like XP as the screens on their site | 07:49 |
| ubuntu__ | yup...i tried the live cd ...yikes | 07:49 |
| ubuntu__ | moon os live cd was ok...not familiar with the settings but it was ok | 07:49 |
| ubuntu__ | like the close tab is in the left hand side...duh | 07:50 |
| Unit193 | MoonOS I may be testing in my VM (supposed to be very lightweight) | 07:50 |
| ubuntu__ | is there any requirement to install vm? | 07:50 |
| bioterror | yet another ubuntu based distro | 07:51 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: yep, this one has E17 as one of the "Editions" | 07:52 |
| bioterror | I tried it year ago or something, I wasnt that impressed | 07:52 |
| Unit193 | As long as you're fine with betas Bodhi | 07:52 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: Not any faster? | 07:53 |
| bioterror | anything can be fast if you compare to KDE or Gnome with all ding-a-lings | 07:53 |
| Unit193 | Might be fun to crack a few mooning jokes... | 07:53 |
| ubuntu__ | ( /\ ) | 07:54 |
| ubuntu__ | any other distro that you guys recommend to try? | 07:56 |
| bioterror | I think world is too full with all these remixes and derivatives | 07:56 |
| bioterror | I suggest to use Lubuntu if you want something minimalistic and you want it to work right out of box | 07:56 |
| Unit193 | ubuntu__: Are you looking for small? | 07:57 |
| Unit193 | lightweight? | 07:57 |
| ubuntu__ | well.....more light weight and lubuntu is very good | 07:57 |
| ubuntu__ | just installing some repositories and running them im not familiar | 07:58 |
| Unit193 | ubuntu__: Depending on how well you can handle config files, crunchbang | 07:58 |
| bioterror | I'm running as my main computer (desktop) Arch Linux with Window Maker-CRM | 07:58 |
| bioterror | Unit193, not that huge different between lubuntu and some stuff with just plain openbox | 07:59 |
| bioterror | we talk about few megs of RAM | 07:59 |
| ubuntu__ | bout 1 gb | 07:59 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: I like Debian/Ubuntu based, never did anything with Arch... | 07:59 |
| bioterror | Unit193, I'm a *BSD-person from the deep ;) | 08:00 |
| ubuntu__ | lol | 08:00 |
| ubuntu__ | they just released a new version i think....bsd | 08:00 |
| ubuntu__ | gonna check out arch too hehe | 08:01 |
| bioterror | dont bother if you're not familiar with command line | 08:01 |
| bioterror | and distro hopping is not really helping you out that much | 08:02 |
| ubuntu__ | true....just want to see whats going to be my new os. | 08:03 |
| Unit193 | Running irssi in screen (and a bunch and others) | 08:04 |
| ubuntu__ | nites....gonna try some more distro and make a final decision...ill go distro hopping till i find what i like...nothing wrong with that right bio? | 08:08 |
| Unit193 | ubuntu__: http://www.tuxs.org/chooser/ http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php | 08:10 |
| Unit193 | ^fun to play with... | 08:10 |

| gnewb | How do I make a persistent USB and where can I find the .ISO at? | 10:52 |
| wolfpack | gnewb: Which release are you looking for? | 10:53 |
| wolfpack | 10.10 or 11.04 aplha 2? | 10:53 |
| gnewb | wolfpack: The 10.04 or the Debian 6.0 | 10:53 |
| gnewb | wolfpack: I am still hacking the system a bit to get a lighter output from the PSU among other things. | 10:55 |
| gnewb | I currently have it booting on an older Itronix and an older AMD that I run on a 12v setup on my boat, ultimate goal is to have a Light System that uses little power. | 11:07 |

| NRWlion | hey guys | 15:46 |
| joris | I am trying to install lubuntu in a virtualbox but I cannot get it working. The install cd just doesn't start. It must be a lubuntu issue because Ubuntu starts fine. Any ideas? | 17:26 |
| rtdos | why can't i change the login screen in lubuntu? | 17:50 |
| skrite | hey all, is there a 64-bit version of lubuntu? | 20:24 |
| bioterror | not yet, but jmarsden|work is working on it, as his nick tells us | 20:25 |
| bioterror | skrite, you have to use minimal installation or other ubuntu version that's 64bit, and install from there | 20:25 |
| bioterror | I would go with the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 20:26 |
| jmarsden|work | bioterror: the |work means "real work" not "Lubuntu work" :) | 20:26 |
| bioterror | jmarsden|work, I've seen how you do lubuntu stuff on your work time! | 20:26 |
| jmarsden|work | However, I did create my first 64bit Lubuntu ISO last night... | 20:26 |
| skrite | bioterror, very well, thanks | 20:26 |
| jmarsden|work | bioterror: It is lunchtime right now :) | 20:27 |
| bioterror | skrite, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends | 20:27 |
| skrite | much easier, thnks bioterror | 20:27 |
| bioterror | jmarsden|work, I've configured xorg.conf with specified resolution with some new comers on my work time, as mostly I dont have anything to do :D | 20:28 |
| skrite | great distro you guys have here, by the way. Really liking it. | 20:28 |
| bioterror | I needed 4 mugs of coffee for that | 20:28 |
| bioterror | skrite, nice hear that you're enjoying Lubuntu | 20:28 |
| skrite | yeah, i find it very smart. I install a light distro then go through setting up everything the way i like, but lubuntu requires very little change to already be that. a different background, some tweaks to the menu, sometimes a different gtk theme, but thats about it | 20:30 |
| bioterror | and then you configure chromium to open only into a workspace 2 and and and :D | 20:31 |
| === peregrinator_six is now known as dial_up_br | ||
| jmarsden|work | skrite: We are making some menu changes for 11.04 ... if you think the current 10.10 Lubuntu menus could be improved, file a bug report with specifically what needs changing, and we'll look into your ideas. See bug #650432 | 20:33 |

| skrite | jmarsden, great, will do | 20:33 |
| * Unit193 still thinks lxterminal is a System Tool... | 20:46 | |
| bioterror | I think it's a application that's needed for anything | 20:49 |
| bioterror | if you use it for apt-get only, maybe it's a system tool then | 20:50 |
| bioterror | if you use it for reading stuff, editing stuff, for emails, conversations, ftp, scp, | 20:50 |
| bioterror | it's more than a system tool | 20:50 |
| bioterror | I even play music in terminal | 20:51 |

| Unit193 | I do way more in terminal... | 21:15 |
| Unit193 | *then just apt-get | 21:15 |
| bioterror | than ;) | 21:15 |
| bioterror | sorry, that's only word I tend to correct | 21:16 |
| jmarsden|work | Unit193: If you do anything in the terminal that does not start with sudo, then you are doing something that is not system-wide... so the terminal is not just a System Tool for you. | 21:20 |
| Unit193 | jmarsden|work: Very true... Did you pick where to put it? | 21:21 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: Correction is normally good | 21:22 |
| bioterror | Accessories | 21:22 |
| jmarsden|work | Unit193: No, I did make a change to the menus for 11.04 so that some system-wide tools move out of Preferences and up into System, though. | 21:23 |
| jmarsden|work | Accessories seems to the the "Ubuntu-standard" place for Terminal, so to me it makes sense to leave it there in Lubuntu. | 21:23 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: I know where it is, it just feels funny in Accessories | 21:23 |
| jmarsden|work | Unit193: Why does it feel funny? It is in Accessories in Ubuntu and (I think) Kubuntu and Xubuntu also... | 21:24 |
| Unit193 | jmarsden|work: I guess because the terminal has a ton of power... | 21:26 |
| NRWlion | hey bioterror need help installing libre office | 21:26 |

| frenkic | plesa help, how to add SKK keyboard layer in LXDE ? | 21:33 |
| bioterror | skk? | 21:33 |
| frenkic | yes slovak and other | 21:33 |
| bioterror | slovakia | 21:33 |
| bioterror | just a moment | 21:34 |
| bioterror | you can change it with command "setxkbmap sk" | 21:34 |
| bioterror | I'm trying to remember a permanent configuration | 21:35 |
| frenkic | bioterror thanks it correct | 21:36 |
| jmarsden|work | bioterror: I think sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data # is how to reconfigure the keyboard permanently? Have not tried this in Lubuntu though. | 21:37 |
| jmarsden|work | make that: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 21:38 |
| bioterror | why, things have to change all the time | 21:38 |
| bioterror | why oh why | 21:38 |
| bioterror | and different distros does it in a different way | 21:38 |
| bioterror | jmarsden|work, /etc/default/console-setup | 21:39 |
| bioterror | there's a line XKBLAYOUT="fi | 21:39 |
| bioterror | " | 21:39 |
| jmarsden|work | Yes, but don't hack it directly! | 21:39 |
| bioterror | it doesnt matter ;) | 21:39 |
| frenkic | I did not want it permanently, I like us but sometimes need a keybord sk | 21:39 |
| bioterror | in natty there's /etc/default/keyboard | 21:40 |
| jmarsden|work | It does when you are teaching others how to do things. Teach the "Debian/Ubuntu way". | 21:40 |
| NRWlion | i call it for the day :( | 21:40 |
| jmarsden|work | And I suspect that change of config filename will not matter if you use dpkg-reconfigure :) | 21:40 |
| bioterror | jmarsden|work, running config just rewrites the file | 21:40 |
| jmarsden|work | Indeed. | 21:40 |
| NRWlion | installing from apt-get is to much for me now :( | 21:40 |
| jmarsden|work | NRWlion: sudo apt-get install libreoffice # is too much??? :) | 21:41 |
| bioterror | hahaha | 21:41 |
| bioterror | wish I could send nrwlion back to 90's and try Red Hat without yum | 21:41 |
| bioterror | installing dependencies file by file manually | 21:42 |
| bioterror | and performing searches for exact deps at different ftp search sites | 21:43 |
| NRWlion | bioterror, in the 90s i had different things in mind than sitting in front of a computer and reading LInux books at the same time :D | 21:43 |
| bioterror | yeah, you played PSX :D | 21:44 |
| * jmarsden|work created once custom distros based on RedHat 5.x/6.x ... and was even paid to do so :) | 21:44 | |
| NRWlion | jmarsden, your command is invalid :( | 21:44 |
| jmarsden|work | sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME # is definitely a valid command. | 21:45 |
| jmarsden|work | NRWlion: Be specific... do not say "is invalid", say "produced *THIS* error message: foozle bar bang | 21:46 |
| jmarsden|work | Then I might know what happened, and be able to help. | 21:46 |
| NRWlion | i was just trying to specify | 21:46 |
| NRWlion | ;) | 21:47 |
| NRWlion | i know that "is invalid" is not specific | 21:47 |
| bioterror | rememer to "apt-get update" | 21:47 |
| NRWlion | jmarsden|work, Error Message says "Package libreoffice could not be found" | 21:47 |
| jmarsden|work | OK, so the command was valid, it just could not find that package. | 21:48 |
| bioterror | NRWlion, did you update your repository list? | 21:48 |
| jmarsden|work | So did you add the PPA and do sudo apt-get update first ? | 21:48 |
| NRWlion | guys one after another | 21:48 |
| NRWlion | bioterror, nope because of non existing knowledge about terminal | 21:49 |
| NRWlion | jmarsden|work, no | 21:49 |
| bioterror | maybe you should ;) | 21:49 |
| NRWlion | same reason | 21:49 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 21:50 |
| jmarsden|work | NRWlion: I gace you a link to https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa earlier. | 21:50 |
| jmarsden|work | Go there. | 21:50 |
| jmarsden|work | Read the part about "Adding this PPA" and do what it says. | 21:50 |
| jmarsden|work | there are exactly 3 steps. | 21:51 |
| jmarsden|work | When you have done all 3 of them, run my suggested command sudo apt-get install libreoffice # and it will work. | 21:52 |
| bioterror | jmarsden|work, red hat 6.0 got that nice and cool init with bright green [ok] :D | 21:53 |
| bioterror | it was so coool! | 21:53 |
| jmarsden|work | Sounds right :) | 21:53 |
| bioterror | feels like I'm hitting my head against the wall | 21:59 |
| bioterror | why libpurple0 wants gstreamer and gtk stuff | 22:00 |
| bioterror | I dont need them | 22:00 |
| szczur | trying to install finch? :P | 22:00 |
| bioterror | szczur, yep | 22:00 |
| bioterror | I once managed to do it | 22:01 |
| bioterror | with just few deps | 22:01 |
| bioterror | but as I have a hole in my head, I cant recall what I did | 22:02 |
| szczur | it tries to do it even with --no-install-recommends? | 22:03 |
| szczur | hmm, stupid assumption. you may be running slackware :) | 22:04 |
| jmarsden|work | sudo apt-get install finch --no-install-recommends # should work fine | 22:04 |
| bioterror | no it doesnt :D | 22:05 |
| bioterror | should I make a screenshot? :D | 22:05 |
| jmarsden|work | pastebin the text outout somewhere. | 22:05 |
