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