[06:01] I only see double screen - is there a way to view extended monitor like in ubuntu 10.10 [06:01] My lubuntu Setup: 10.10 on acer 5735z [06:05] http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-setup-dual-monitors-with-xrandr/2009/06/01 maybe?! [06:06] thanks just checking [06:06] anyways [06:06] google :D [06:06] most of the lubuntu users are having ancient hardware :D [06:07] tried that - have you notice not much comes up for lubuntu? [06:07] I am seriously thinking of jumping back to ubuntu as it is friendlier [06:08] for noob like me - more support [06:23] bitterror - thanks for your help ;) [07:29] hello [07:32] hi [07:44] bioterror, do you have any idea, what might be causing video and auido playback glitch (stutter)? [07:45] I have to admit thatI dont know [07:45] My specs are: 1ghz centrino, 512mb ram, shared gpu, its 2005 laptop samsung Q30 [07:45] i tried the cmd mplayer [07:45] and even that doesnt run smoothly [07:45] you mean just videos has problems? [07:45] audio too [07:46] mp3s [07:46] haaa [07:47] samsung Q30 == Dell Latitude X1 [07:47] yes apparently, badge engineering :) [07:51] I have no clue, and neither is internets telling nothing much [07:51] no its a funky thing to google, i'll try some more googling [07:51] did you try with VLC? [07:52] not yet, i tried with aqualung, gnome player and mplayer [08:03] hmm vlc video playback stutters too. Maybe i should try installing some drivers (video at least). [08:10] ok, ive found out my VGA chip via terminal :))) haha this feels great [09:24] brb [09:31] ok it seems stuttering isnt occuring on mplayer [09:31] i followed this guide [09:31] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes === RedM is now known as RedW === Jef91|Gaming is now known as Jef91 [09:42] Does PCManFM support network shares at all? [09:47] Jef91: Yes, but for SAMBA/Windows share discovery you need to install gvfs-backend [09:48] See bug #675212 [09:48] Launchpad bug 675212 in lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu Maverick) "Add gvfs-backends to lubuntu-desktop" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/675212 [09:48] Oh, make that gvfs-backends [09:48] Yea [09:48] found that [09:49] its OK I installed the latest 0.9.3 from source [09:50] I have gvfs-backends installed [09:50] how do I view the network shares now? [09:51] ahh found it [09:52] Go -> network drives I think? [09:52] (pcmanfm2:29484): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.

[09:52] The overwriting error message was: The specified location is not mounted [09:52] Segmentation fault [09:52] >.< [09:52] Is there a way for it to ask to mount when selecting a network drive not mounted? [09:53] I don't know. Ask on the lubuntu-desktop mailing list, or wait for more people to be awake :) [09:56] Thanks [09:56] sent the email [09:57] wow lots of good things in PCMan 0.9.3 [09:57] this might actually replace nautilus for me finally. [09:57] Any idea if there is a way to have a "Split screen" mode? Thats a feature I've really gotten used to [10:22] hi hall, i've a problem on Lubuntu 10.4 : i cannot enter using login screen but i can enter with ctrl+alt+f1. Then i've killed lxdm and tryied to use startx but this is the result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/572993/ any idea? [10:26] lxcc-vincenzo [10:26] sudo /etc/init.d/lxdm restart [10:26] to restart the display manager [10:26] in lubuntu [10:38] tnx Jef91 i'll try. sorry for delay my eeepc 701 is slow. [10:38] No worries :) [10:42] Okie doke - almost 5 am here time for some sleep === Jef91 is now known as Jef91|Sleeping [10:48] souns like encrypted home [10:48] sounds [11:23] bio, would you like to add video troubleshooting tab to your guide? [11:24] nothing special, just the hyperlink to here would be sufficient i guess [11:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video [11:24] and step maybe, determine your video card using lspci | grep VGA [12:58] I've a problem on Lubuntu 10.4 : i cannot enter using login screen but i can enter with ctrl+alt+f1.

[13:28] hi [13:30] Hey Leszek [13:55] hello guys . greetings from Germany [13:56] NRWlion: schöne grüße zurück [13:57] and btw. a greeting from nrw (cologne, here) back to nrw :) [14:00] leszek, good to finally meet people from my region ;) [14:37] linux.org is down and so are their lessons :/ [14:37] any alternatives? === Evixion` is now known as Evixion === peregrinator_six is now known as Olhar_Digital_NO === Jef91|Sleeping is now known as Jef91|Grading === Olhar_Digital_NO is now known as Olhar_Digital_GO [19:03] bioterror you here? [19:07] sure === RedW is now known as RedW|410 === Olhar_Digital_GO is now known as peregrinator_six [19:22] im starting to enjoy lubuntu :) [19:23] bro even helped me with the samba setup to connect to my hackintosh [19:24] anyway i was just going to say, if you were considering including "video" section in your lubuntu 101 link [19:24] like just the basic, i.e. type sudo ... to determine your gpu then go here etc etc [19:25] what [19:25] I'm not making screen casts ;) [19:25] nah nah not a screen cast [19:25] just a new hyperlink [19:28] speaking of your guide i can't find :( [19:28] i've had it b'marked in chromium [19:28] but i purged it and have opera instead [19:28] its a bit faster and less ram hungry i suppose [19:29] Sat21:49* https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ at the end you have a guide [19:29] yes and no [19:29] opera has universe inside it [19:38] i c [19:38] would anyone tell me if lubuntu uses ALSA ? [19:38] r\wWorld, uses [19:40] so if i install flashplayer from the repos should i install the add-on as well ? [19:41] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [19:41] or flashplugin-installer [19:47] also i'm trying to get firefox to recognize emails. So when you click on the them, thunderbird opens up, with the address already added. What should i do inorder to get this functionality ? [19:48] from preferences default applications [19:51] ugh it doesn't work [19:51] what? [19:51] email? [19:52] yeah, when you click on the email link in the web-browser nothing opens up [19:53] it just opens up a new browser windows [19:53] do I have to boot back to lubuntu :D [19:57] oh look [19:57] I got that too :D [19:57] * bioterror goes to dig [19:59] nice bug that is [20:01] ? [20:02] i hate 'em bugs [20:02] * r\wWorld grabs his shoe [20:02] uno momento [20:03] almost [20:03] doesnt open browser :D [20:05] ffffffffffffffffffffffffff [20:05] gilir, WAKEUP [20:12] well [20:12] technically I fixed that [20:12] You woke him up? Cool, can I have that app please? :) [20:13] nope, I just fixed mailto: -links [20:13] Ah, that's no as much fun :) [20:13] to open sylpheed and add address to "to:" form [20:16] this is failure [20:16] Is there a bug in the defaults that we should fix in lubuntu-default-settings or similar?? [20:16] yes and no [20:17] let's say [20:17] if you have email which has URL [20:17] and you click that URL [20:18] it will call /usr/bin/x-www-browser [20:18] aka /usr/bin/sensible-browser [20:18] Which is the right thing to do... yes? [20:18] yes [20:19] now when we have webpage with this mailto: [20:19] when you click it, it will call /usr/bin/xdg-email [20:19] and we have there: [20:19] open_generic() [20:19] { [20:19] sensible-browser "$1" [20:19] ... [20:20] I replaced that with sylpheed --compose "$1" [20:20] but we dont have sensible-mailer [20:20] which we SHOULD HAVE [20:21] we have to manually say which email client we want to call [20:22] r\wWorld, that's why it opens a web browser, becouse LXDE uses generic and there's a configuration to use "browser" [20:24] Hmmm. So we will need to override xdg-email with an Lubuntu-specific default of sylpheed, it sounds like. [20:24] so if i add the sylpheed --compose "$1" all should be good [20:24] sylpheed is default [20:25] but if someone wants to use thunderbird, he needs to replace then the sylpheed with thunderbird [20:26] thunderbird -compose [20:26] and those should be done with "preferred applications" [20:26] and it could be done, if we had a "sensible-mailer" :D [20:27] I say: epic fail [20:27] Not a bad idea... you can add that to the sensible-utils package if you want, should be a relatively small change :) [20:28] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/03/msg00187.html [20:30] I was wondering about a $MAILER type of thing, like $PAGER and $EDITOR... interesting... anyway, instead of discussing it, better to implement it and see if we can get something accepted :) [20:31] wb [20:31] Note to self: ctrl-q in Xchat is NOT the same as ctrl-q in Emacs :) [20:31] hah [20:32] with VIM you would use esc... [20:33] I have to dig this [20:33] yeah, one of the biggest issues in linux with new users, the keys for applications is always different [20:33] this is a real issue [20:33] and not a small one [20:34] New users generally won't use shortcut keys anyway, just the menus :) But once they start getting comfortable, yes, it is an issue. [20:35] well atleast ctrl+c and ctrl+v are for the most part the same everywhere..... except MatLAB on Unix [20:36] hmmmm [20:36] preferred application doesnt work right [20:36] I opened abiword, made a hyperlink to mailto://myemail@address.com [20:37] and it just opens sylpheed, nothing else [20:39] r\wWorld: Don't try them in Emacs or vi, then :) Or at a shell prompt for that matter :) [20:41] okey [20:42] preferred applications uses .config/libfm/pref-apps.conf [20:42] and there's a link to sylpheed.desktop [20:43] no wonder why it doesnt compose a message [20:48] now I can enjoy some chocolate [20:49] preferred application should call xdg-email?! [20:49] :D [20:53] why o why there's no /usr/bin/x-emailer or something like that [20:53] it would solve alot of problems [20:55] * r\wWorld is making himself some cookies [20:55] https://pragmaticattic.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/pistachio-almond-apricot-cranberry-cookie-thins/ [21:16] bioterror: There is /usr/bin/xdg-email -- it just doesn't "know about" Lubuntu and so when run under Lubuntu it defaults to generic. Adding some Lubuntu-knowledge to the whole sensible-utils package would be a good thing, IMO. [21:18] yeah [21:18] and I tweaked the generic [21:18] there's sensible-browser as default :D [21:18] like wtf?! :D [21:18] So submit a patch :) [21:18] there's really no patch for it [21:19] and lxde is still without a real email client and so on [21:19] Sure there is, xdg-email can and should detect Lubuntu just as it detects GNOME and KDE, and act appropriately. [21:20] it should detect LXDE, not Lubuntu [21:20] but there's no "default email client" for the LXDE [21:20] Sure. Maybe it could detect LXDE and then check for sylpheed and then thunderbird, or whatever set of apps makes sense. [21:20] yes [21:20] No hard, just a few lines of shell script... so ... write the patch :) [21:22] for example SalixOS uses Claws-Mail for their LXDE [21:22] OpenSuse LXDE uses Claws too === Jef91|Grading is now known as Jef91|AFK [21:24] g'nite [21:24] cya around [21:28] not so sure, but Mint 10 LXDE might use Thunderbird [21:36] that makes it difficult [21:36] with gnome you can call evolution and then thunderbird [21:36] with kde you can call kmail === RedW|410 is now known as RedW [21:38] hmm, my firefox run mailto: links without problems [21:38] how about you chromium [21:38] your [21:39] gimme 5 sec [21:39] you have 2 [21:39] :D [21:39] oh noes, mu synaptic's so slow [21:39] i lost [21:40] synaptic :o [21:40] i like it :) [21:40] sure [21:45] hmm, i n chromium it starts up firefox, then thunderbird >_> [21:52] szczur, how did you install firefox ? [21:52] sudo apt-get install firefox [21:54] well that install gnome among other things [21:55] will* [21:55] sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install firefox [22:33] yo all [22:33] szczur are you there? [22:41] Kras, hello [22:41] yo [22:41] moge na priv ? [22:41] ooo :) [22:42] nie ma problemu :)
