| gilir | wolfpack, if you can't reproduce a bug with natty alpha : | 13:45 |
| gilir | 1) Add a comment to explain this | 13:45 |
| gilir | in the bug report | 13:45 |
| gilir | 2) ask the user to try with a new natty iso | 13:45 |
| gilir | 3) set the bug status to "Imcomplete" | 13:45 |
| wolfpack | gilir: Should I ask him to update the pcmannfm package ? | 13:47 |
| gilir | wolfpack, I need to update LXDE PPA first | 13:47 |
| gilir | wolfpack, after, you can add a comment that he can test with a newer version of pcmanfm using the LXDE PPA | 13:48 |
| wolfpack | The version of pcmanfm reported is 0.9.7 and repository has 0.9.8. Is it available for maverock also ? | 13:51 |
| gilir | wolfpack, 0.9.7 is in official repository, 0.9.8 is only availabel if you enable LXDE PPA : https://launchpad.net/~lxde/+archive/ppa | 13:52 |
| wolfpack | Ok. Thanks :) | 13:53 |
| gilir | not all users have its enable, and it's not mandatory to have it to use Lubuntu :) | 13:53 |

| umino | hi guys | 18:13 |
| umino | can someone tell me how to get new window themes with lubuntu ? | 18:13 |
| szczur | you mean window borders? | 18:19 |
| szczur | http://box-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=7402 | 18:19 |
| umino | yeah .. like putting a darker, more ubuntu like theme on the bright lubuntu default theme | 18:21 |
| szczur | also take look at http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100&PHPSESSID=b550a6802f72dbcb551d3340073c0b28 | 18:22 |
| umino | ok ... thats where i get the themes but how do i install them ? | 18:22 |
| szczur | you can dowhnload the theme you like | 18:22 |
| szczur | and unpack it to .themes folder in your home folder | 18:23 |
| umino | what if there is no such folder (hidden stuff is visible) | 18:24 |
| szczur | then you have to create it | 18:24 |
| umino | ok ... | 18:25 |
| umino | ah ... so much for the colors but i still got this ugly mint-greenish window tops | 18:27 |
| kristian-aalborg | lubuntu kernel = ubuntu kernel? | 18:28 |
| umino | i guess | 18:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | also, hi | 18:29 |
| kristian-aalborg | I can't see why it shouldn't be, but nice to know | 18:29 |
| szczur | umino, you can change window borders with Openbox configuration manager | 18:31 |
| umino | lxappearance ? | 18:31 |
| umino | ah no ... | 18:32 |
| umino | sorry | 18:32 |
| umino | ok ... that was the stuff i was looking for .. | 18:32 |
| umino | thanks | 18:33 |
| umino | have a nice day | 18:36 |
| Yorvyk | Anybody know how to remove the 'window title bar' globally. | 19:41 |
| mark76 | Have you tried ctrl alt b? | 19:53 |
| GaryD | How can I use xserver-xorg-video-nv instead of xserver-xorg-video-nouveau? | 20:18 |
| Yorvyk | mark76, Yes, I was hoping there was a config file I could edit | 20:18 |
| mark76 | I'm pretty sure openbox has config files | 20:27 |
| GaryD | Sorry. I am running 11.04 by the way.I can't install nvidia-173 like I normally do because of the missing dependency issue. I would like to be able to see the objects on the screen. | 20:28 |
| Yorvyk | GaryD, You'll probably have to create and xorg.conf. | 20:30 |
| Yorvyk | mark76, there is, and there appears a to be a way to do it but I'm having problems understanding it. (.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml) | 20:32 |
| stlsaint | Yorvyk: hey could you point me towards the lubuntu wiki page | 20:32 |
| Yorvyk | stlsaint, | 20:33 |
| stlsaint | ? | 20:33 |
| GaryD | Yorvyk: I tried killing X and running Xorg -configure as root, but got errors. Failed to create configuratoni file or something. I tried to uninstall nouveau, installing nv, and rebooting, i got the black screen of death. So I looked for a command to change which driver is used, and could find nothing. how can I create the xorg.conf? | 20:33 |
| Yorvyk | stlsaint, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 20:34 |
| stlsaint | haha i thought it was something else | 20:35 |
| Yorvyk | GaryD, I could never get that to work | 20:40 |
| Yorvyk | GaryD, I'm not sure if the following works any more but worth a try. | 20:43 |
| Yorvyk | GaryD, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:44 |
| GaryD | did nothing as far as i can tell. | 20:46 |
| bioterror | GaryD, | 20:47 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ there you have guide | 20:48 |
| bioterror | section 2.6. | 20:48 |
| bioterror | oh, I have it wrong, should say lxdm, not gdm :D | 20:48 |
| bioterror | now it's right and correct | 20:49 |
| Yorvyk | 'sudo Xorg -configure' is the command I never remember but I can remember 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 20:52 |
| GaryD | I'll try. If it doesn't work, I will reinstall again and come back again. Thanks. | 20:53 |
| bioterror | hi | 21:15 |
| bioterror | did you install again? | 21:15 |
| Yorvyk | bioterror, thanks for that FAQ it solved my remove title bar problem. | 21:16 |
| bioterror | :o | 21:16 |
| bioterror | :D | 21:16 |
| GaryD | No good. Still a gray screen, and no xorg.conf file in root or /etc/X11/. I still got the error of not being able to create xorg.conf. | 21:18 |
| bioterror | you need to stop LXDM | 21:19 |
| bioterror | sudo service lxdm stop | 21:19 |
| bioterror | then you can create xorg.conf | 21:19 |
| GaryD | I ran both commands. Xorg -configure and dpkg-reconfigure-xserver-xorg. | 21:19 |
| GaryD | I did stop lxdm. | 21:20 |
| bioterror | what's the error message then | 21:20 |
| GaryD | Number of created screens do not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed. | 21:21 |
| GaryD | OK...for some reason, when I tried the mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf I got an error saying no such file exists. However, I just looked in pcmanfm, and the file is there. i am now copying it to /etc/X11. There are Screen0, Screen2 and Screen3. | 21:27 |
| GaryD | http://pastebin.com/ZcX70zrj | 21:28 |
| GaryD | should I remove lines 3 and 4 and the corresponding lines of code at the bottom for each screen? | 21:30 |
| bioterror | you have two displays and two graphics cards? | 21:31 |
| GaryD | As far as I have known I have one display and one graphics card. that is the problem. | 21:33 |
| GaryD | Can I just remove the second one from xorg.conf? | 21:34 |
| bioterror | you should have screen0 and card0 ;) | 21:35 |
| GaryD | I will modify it real quick.. | 21:36 |
| GaryD | Does this look right? http://pastebin.com/qU3UeDs6 | 21:39 |
| Yorvyk | GaryD, it looks a lot better than the first one. I would stick with vesa first and if /when the Xorg.conf works change to nv | 21:47 |
| GaryD | ok. Thanks. I'll go try that. | 21:47 |
| Yorvyk | Lubuntu Unity any one? http://imagebin.org/142453 | 21:48 |
| bioterror | I have to say this: I dont like that pastel blue theme | 21:52 |
| Yorvyk | I'am not a fan of blue but, it is innocuous and doesn't cause problems on CRT's. | 22:03 |
| bioterror | problems on CRT's? :D | 22:04 |
| Yorvyk | There are a lot still in use and on most the colour balance is out. Even on old LCD monitors as well. Blue seems to work better. | 22:10 |
| Yorvyk | GaryD, any luck | 22:12 |
| GaryD | No good. Both vesa and nv allow plymouth to load clear as day, but after that black screen. i can't even use ctrl+alt+F1, I changed it back to nouveau, and it is still the same as before. Why would plymouth load clearly now, but not the desktop? | 22:13 |
| Yorvyk | It doesn't sound like the video driver to me then. What do the logs have to say? | 22:15 |
| GaryD | The only errors in the log is that the fonts directories don't exist, as far as I can tell. Should I pastebin? I have the one for vesa, as i tried it first and after nv before I went back to nouveau. | 22:22 |
| GaryD | Could it be an issue with lxdm? | 22:26 |
| GaryD | this is in the lxdm config file under [server]. # arg=/usr/bin/X -nr vt1. not sure if this has anything to do with it. | 22:27 |
| GaryD | it is commented out, though. | 22:27 |
| GaryD | argh. | 22:28 |
| Yorvyk | argh indeed | 22:32 |
| GaryD | Xorg log - http://pastebin.com/8ULxa2vA | 22:32 |
| GaryD | for vesa. | 22:32 |
| GaryD | BTW...I thank you for helping me with this. | 22:38 |
| GaryD | Do you think installing nouveau-firmware will clear up my screen using nouveau? Not sure what the firmware is for. | 22:44 |
| Yorvyk | no idea what the firmware does, never heard of it. | 22:48 |
| GaryD | My video card is nvidia NV36 GeForce FX Go570. on all other lubuntus, nv worked just fine and nvidia-173 worked jut fine as well. | 22:50 |
| GaryD | nouveau has never worked. | 22:50 |
| GaryD | sorry...GeForce FX 5700 | 22:51 |
| Yorvyk | Sorry GaryD my machine came to a grinding halt load average: 3.99, 5.27, 2.74 every thing was trying to use the cpu | 22:56 |
| GaryD | dang. | 22:56 |
| GaryD | sorry | 22:56 |
| GaryD | Did it come back alive? | 22:59 |
| GaryD | Well, I appreciate it. I have to go, now. I will mess with it later. If I can't get it working, I will go back to lubuntu 10.10. | 23:03 |
| Yorvyk | What resolution is your screen | 23:03 |
| GaryD | 1280x768 | 23:04 |
| Yorvyk | It seems to think it's either 800x600 or 1024x768 | 23:05 |
| Yorvyk | Try http://pastebin.com/556Xh3UC when you have time, i'll be around tomorrow. | 23:07 |
| GaryD | I will try it now. I have a minute. | 23:07 |
| Yorvyk | OK | 23:08 |
| GaryD | Let me restart to see if it works. BRB | 23:09 |
| GaryD | No Good. | 23:19 |
| GaryD | Yorvyk: I will have to test other things later, I guess. Thank you for all your help | 23:20 |
| GaryD | Yorvyk: Have a great day! | 23:20 |
| Yorvyk | OH! I'll have anothe rlook at the log and let you know tomorrow if I find any thing. | 23:20 |
| Yorvyk | Night# | 23:20 |
| GaryD | Cool. Thanks | 23:20 |
