[01:16] hi [01:34] my games arent working correctly wat do i do? [01:37] my games arent working correctly wat do i do? [01:38] my games arent working correctly wat do i do [01:43] HELP ME [01:43] HELP ME [01:43] HELP ME [01:43] HELP ME [01:43] HELP ME [11:12] Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me add a launcher to my main menu? Its probably a config file I'm just not sure where to find it. [11:13] hi [11:14] Ace_: you mean you want to put a link to the application main menu ? (the one which shows up when clicking on the lubuntu logo) ? [11:15] leszek: Right. I have a copy of the Firefox 4.0 RC and I want to give it a link in the menu, just not sure where I need to go to add that. [11:16] Ace_: thats not so easy to do, as the menu is autogenerated from the *.desktop files which sit in /usr/share/applications [11:17] So I suggest to create a .desktop file there (you need root rights to write to /usr/share/applications) with the appropiate entrys for firefox 4 [11:18] Awesome, exactly what I needed to find, just wasn't sure where to look. Thanks! [11:18] Ace_: the desktop file can look like this : http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/399970/ [11:18] you might of course need to change the Exec=... line aswell as the icon=... line [11:19] Right, I've dealt with these before, its just been a little while so I had forgotten about them ;) [11:20] Again, many thanks. Take care. [14:04] hi all [14:05] if I install lubuntu, then get a new video card - how much work will it be to reconfigure things? [14:05] in other words, would it be better to wait?

[20:44] !apt | bonny [20:44] bonny: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [20:44] !cli | bonny [20:44] bonny: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [20:44] bioterror: if you have a few minuts to help bonny that would be good, I'm in the middle of writing up a job application at the moment [20:45] he'll be reading things for a while ;) [20:45] ok [20:45] :( [20:45] bonny: I'm still here just mainly concentrating elsewhere so I might take a little while to respond at times [20:46] k no problem [21:34] is there anything similiar to windows media player for lubuntu [21:36] bonny: heaps :) [21:36] ok [21:36] I think vlc is included by default? [21:36] I can't recall and I know I've installed a few media players since the original install [21:37] i have gnome mplayer [21:37] That will work for most things I would think [21:37] k [21:38] wait so sudo apt-get install heaps [21:41] Hah well I'd start with vlc if you wanted different options. There are lots of different music players as well, dpends on what hardware you have and what you want it to do [21:42] can i play movies from cd [21:43] !restricted [21:43] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [21:43] There's the best place to start learning about it all :) [21:43] wat is this ubot 5 [21:43] It's a helper bot so I don't have to remember all the links [21:44] oh ok [21:44] have u used any other distros except for lubuntu [21:45] I have used Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, DSL and a few others I can't think of at the moment.

I run Ubuntu servers as well. [21:48] head_victim, Desktop Envinroment doesnt make a distro ;) [21:48] i have ubuntu live cd but i doubt it will work on this computer i was thinking about trying it on my laptop [21:49] can vlc play videos [21:49] it can on windows [21:49] why not on GNU/Linux? [21:49] ok [21:49] most of the IPTV sites uses VLC for streaming [21:49] bioterror: yeah I know, been up 24 hours now so getting a little slow [21:49] well maybe i didnt have vlc for windows [21:50] why have u been up for 24 hours [21:50] I work shiftwork and so I've worked all night and it's now 8am local time here [21:51] I have to wait until 9am so I can make a couple of phone calls about a job applicatio and then I'll go to bed and sleep all day because I have another night shift tonight.
