| strycore | hey all | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| strycore | can somebody explain what is happening here ? http://strycore.com/videos/lubuntu-wtf.ogv | 00:05 |
| MrBadWiki | It seems your virtual machine software isn't liking Lubuntu? | 00:06 |
| strycore | Looks like it | 00:08 |
| MrBadWiki | strycore: If I look at the desktop switcher in the bottom it seems it's already opened once when you double-click it for the second time? | 00:08 |
| strycore | but someone says it works perfectly with that setup ( http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Talk:Ubuntu_Lucid_on_OLPC_XO#Lubuntu_distro_installed ) | 00:08 |
| strycore | oh I didn't notice the desktop switcher | 00:09 |
| MrBadWiki | If you look at the clip...you'll see | 00:09 |
| strycore | it show in the desktop switcher before displying on screen, anyway i tried it making sure there was only one double click andthe window behaves the same way | 00:11 |
| strycore | i'll try installing with the mini.iso ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ) , I can get lubuntu that way, right ? | 00:15 |
| MrBadWiki | So waiting a bit more doesn't help? | 00:15 |
| strycore | nope | 00:16 |
| MrBadWiki | Hmm....weird | 00:16 |
| strycore | I tried lubuntu 10.10 and it didn't have that problem (the problem was that it required 3.5Gb to install and I only have a 2Gb USB stick) | 00:16 |
| MrBadWiki | But indeed installing with the mini.iso with these instructions ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall ) would work | 00:16 |
| strycore | ok thanks, i'll try that | 00:17 |
| MrBadWiki | Btw...with those instructions you'll only the depended applications. If you want all the default applications change this < sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends lubuntu-desktop > to < sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop > | 00:18 |
| slackmeister | good morning | 09:04 |
| slackmeister | how do you enable compositing? | 09:11 |
| ericy | slackmeister: What is compositing? (Is that related to having trasparent menu bars and such?) | 09:57 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yes | 09:59 |
| slackmeister | ericy, yes | 10:00 |
| ericy | MrChrisDruif: I would (also) be interested in transparent menu bars (aka panels) and such. | 10:00 |
| slackmeister | Docky is a heavy consumer of compositing | 10:00 |
| MrChrisDruif | There is a lightweight app to enable it | 10:00 |
| slackmeister | MrChrisDruif, please tell :) | 10:01 |
| MrChrisDruif | xcomp...something... | 10:01 |
| slackmeister | hmmm | 10:01 |
| MrChrisDruif | Let me find it for ya | 10:01 |
| jmarsden | http://www.dwasifar.com/?p=1442 is a blog article about someone adding compositing and docky to Lubuntu, it might be relevant. | 10:01 |
| slackmeister | xcompmgr MrChrisDruif ? | 10:01 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yup | 10:02 |
| slackmeister | jmarsden, thanks | 10:02 |
| jmarsden | You're welcome. | 10:02 |
| slackmeister | you too MrChrisDruif :) | 10:02 |
| ericy | What does docky do? | 10:02 |
| slackmeister | ericy, docky is well... a dock | 10:02 |
| MrChrisDruif | xD | 10:02 |
| slackmeister | you know the thingy OSX has on the bottom screen | 10:02 |
| slackmeister | same ting | 10:02 |
| ericy | slackmeister: What does dock mean? | 10:03 |
| MrChrisDruif | Indeed, it performs the same task as the LXDE bar in the bottom...well almost | 10:03 |
| slackmeister | ericy, www.google.com my friend :) | 10:03 |
| MrChrisDruif | It doesn't have notification area for instance | 10:03 |
| ericy | In my LXDE , I have a full bar top and bottom. | 10:03 |
| slackmeister | brb | 10:07 |
| slackmeister | xcompmgr decided not to like me | 10:12 |
| slackmeister | it's funny how i started with lubuntu yesterday and bam, i'm in love | 10:17 |
| phillw | slackmeister: it happened that way for me as well :D | 10:17 |
| * slackmeister is reading jmarsden's link | 10:17 | |
| slackmeister | phillw, hehe ^^ | 10:18 |
| ericy | slackmeister: phillw: I've been using Ubuntu for 2 years. Two months ago I tried Lubuntu and now I don't miss Ubuntu. | 10:22 |
| slackmeister | Ubuntu is ok, but i don't like the way it's currently going | 10:22 |
| MrChrisDruif | With it's Unity you mean slackmeister? | 10:23 |
| slackmeister | MrChrisDruif, indeed | 10:23 |
| ericy | I've found Ubuntu 10.10 to be quite good and nice; but I prefer Lubuntu 10.10. | 10:24 |
| ericy | I've setup my Lubunu with a top and bottom panel (just as in Gnome based Ubuntu). | 10:25 |
| slackmeister | i just love how tidy and minimalistic LXDE is | 10:26 |
| slackmeister | it doesn't make anything out of itself or anything | 10:27 |
| ericy | Yep. | 10:27 |
| MrChrisDruif | slackmeister: How do you mean? | 10:27 |
| slackmeister | MrChrisDruif, it's just there providing what you need and it does it quick | 10:27 |
| slackmeister | it's not a lot of menus and flashy effects or anything like that | 10:28 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright | 10:29 |
| ericy | Yes, it's hard to explain. When I booted up Ubuntu yesterday, after running Lubuntu for about 2 months... Yes, Ubuntu seems very rich and appealing... but when I'm back to Lubuntu _I don't miss Ubuntu_. | 10:30 |
| MrChrisDruif | I understand what you mean :) | 10:31 |
| ericy | Where can I post one screenshot? | 10:37 |
| MrChrisDruif | imgur.com | 10:39 |
| MrChrisDruif | Or even twitpic.com | 10:41 |
| slackmeister | hmmmm | 10:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | But you'd need twitter for the latter... | 10:42 |
| ericy | slackmeister: MrChrisDruif: Please see my one Lubuntu screenshot. http://i.imgur.com/PLOdf.png | 10:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | Turquoise panels? =-O | 10:44 |
| MrChrisDruif | And 8 desktops? :P | 10:45 |
| ericy | . | 10:45 |
| ericy | ... | 10:45 |
| MrChrisDruif | And minted window borders? :D | 10:45 |
| MrChrisDruif | I'd really freak out if I'd use your Lubuntu....but that is your system, so it's your choice of course :) | 10:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | 2 network managers? | 10:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | Or is it even 3? | 10:47 |
| slackmeister | MrChrisDruif, noticed the same | 10:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | ericy: ^ | 10:48 |
| ericy | It's hard to explain. | 10:48 |
| slackmeister | ericy, you just need one network manager don | 10:48 |
| slackmeister | don't you? | 10:49 |
| ericy | One gives me rate/flow feedback, the other just gives me connect and change wlan connection. | 10:50 |
| slackmeister | compositing just won't work | 11:00 |
| ericy | slackmeister: What kind of hardware do you have? | 11:00 |
| slackmeister | it's intelbased | 11:01 |
| slackmeister | laptop | 11:01 |
| ericy | I mean, what kind of graphic ? | 11:01 |
| slackmeister | some on board intel graphics card | 11:01 |
| ericy | Mmm. | 11:02 |
| slackmeister | xcompmgr just spits out errors | 11:57 |
| slackmeister | how do you change window manager btw? | 12:20 |
| hyperair | window-manager --replace? | 12:21 |
| slackmeister | not found | 12:22 |
| phillw | hiyas hyperair | 12:29 |
| hyperair | hi phillw | 12:29 |
| hyperair | slackmeister: well i really mean replace window-manager with whatever window manager you want to use | 12:30 |
| slackmeister | sudo window-manager compiz? | 12:30 |
| * hyperair facepalm | 12:32 | |
| hyperair | sorry, i'm going to go and jump off a few cliffs for a moment | 12:32 |
| hyperair | oh but you probably want compiz --replace | 12:32 |
| slackmeister | hyperair, dude just tell me where i type this and i'll may understand | 12:33 |
| hyperair | er | 12:33 |
| hyperair | alt+f2 | 12:33 |
| hyperair | run dialog | 12:33 |
| slackmeister | hyperair, thank you, did know that | 12:33 |
| slackmeister | didn't | 12:33 |
| slackmeister | that didn't go too well | 12:36 |
| Guest81253 | Anybody familiar with Kernelcheck? | 12:48 |
| ericy | Guest81253: Not me. | 12:49 |
| ericy | What does it do? | 12:50 |
| Guest81253 | Automates kernel download and compile | 12:50 |
| wg67c | Hi, I have a question about PPA | 13:08 |
| slackmeister | hyperair, still no luck | 13:13 |
| === slackmeister is now known as zonox | ||
| tom_fritter | i opened a terminal and typed: cd ~/.xchat2 but can't find colors.conf or pevents.conf? | 13:50 |
| zonox | tom_fritter, maybe a reinstall will be the answer :S | 13:52 |
| zonox | or find the template file for those two | 13:52 |
| tom_fritter | shall do a reinstall of xchat | 13:53 |
| tom_fritter | ty zonox | 13:53 |
| zonox | tom_fritter, np :) | 13:53 |
| slackmeister | so, why isn't lubuntu supported by Canonical? | 14:22 |
| phillw | slackmeister: Canonical are still writing the rules for a new flavour, we are treated by everyone as a fully adopted member of ubuntu in terms of access to teams etc. | 14:27 |
| slackmeister | so what's this endorsement thing? | 14:28 |
| phillw | slackmeister: this is best discussed in #lubuntu-offtopic this is a support channel. | 14:29 |
| slackmeister | i guess | 14:29 |
| tom_fritter | Hi | 16:04 |
| tom_fritter | I am using xchat 2.8.8-1ubuntu1 and i have been trying to change the theme | 16:05 |
| tom_fritter | but when i open a terminal and type: cd ~/.xchat2/ | 16:06 |
| tom_fritter | i can't locate the colors.conf and pevents.conf files? | 16:06 |
| tom_fritter | could someone help me please | 16:07 |
| tom_fritter | oh well | 16:09 |
| kristian_ | hi all | 22:10 |
| kristian_ | this is the dude usually suffixed -aalborg | 22:10 |
| kristian_ | I just put Lubuntu 10.10 on a couple of boxen... one is a laptop with wifi, the other a desktop with an ethernet card... I would like to use the laptop as a router of sorts | 22:11 |
| kristian-livecd_ | hi all | 23:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hai kristian-livecd_ | 23:46 |
| kristian-livecd_ | just put Lubuntu on a Dell workstation with 512 megs of RAM :) | 23:47 |
| kristian-livecd_ | MrChrisDruif, Deja Vu! | 23:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | Indeed ;) | 23:47 |
| kristian-livecd_ | the end user is vietnamese... I got the language packs I could think of, but only half the menu items are translated | 23:47 |
| kristian-livecd_ | all of the main menu is cool, but the apps have english names still | 23:48 |
| MrChrisDruif | Isn't that part of the language preferences? | 23:48 |
| MrChrisDruif | Move all the Vietnamese up to the top and check again? | 23:49 |
| kristian-livecd_ | I have to Koi Dang Lai, one moment ;) | 23:49 |
| kristian-livecd_ | this is only for this one user | 23:49 |
