[00:05] <strycore> hey all
[00:05] <strycore> can somebody explain what is happening here ?  http://strycore.com/videos/lubuntu-wtf.ogv
[00:06] <MrBadWiki> It seems your virtual machine software isn't liking Lubuntu?
[00:08] <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 )
[00:09] <strycore> oh I didn't notice the desktop switcher
[00:09] <MrBadWiki> If you look at the clip...you'll see
[00:11] <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
[00:15] <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?
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <strycore> ok thanks, i'll try that
[00:18] <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 >
[09:04] <slackmeister> good morning
[09:11] <slackmeister> how do you enable compositing?
[09:57] <ericy> slackmeister:  What is compositing? (Is that related to having trasparent menu bars and such?)
[09:59] <MrChrisDruif> Yes
[10:00] <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
[10:01] <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 ?
[10:02] <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
[10:03] <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.
[10:07] <slackmeister> brb
[10:12] <slackmeister> xcompmgr decided not to like me
[10:17] <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
[10:18] <slackmeister> phillw, hehe ^^
[10:22] <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
[10:23] <MrChrisDruif> With it's Unity you mean slackmeister?
[10:23] <slackmeister> MrChrisDruif, indeed
[10:24] <ericy> I've found Ubuntu 10.10 to be quite good and nice; but I prefer Lubuntu 10.10.
[10:25] <ericy> I've setup my Lubunu with a top and bottom panel (just as in Gnome based Ubuntu).
[10:26] <slackmeister> i just love how tidy and minimalistic LXDE is
[10:27] <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
[10:28] <slackmeister> it's not a lot of menus and flashy effects or anything like that
[10:29] <MrChrisDruif> Alright
[10:30] <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_.
[10:31] <MrChrisDruif> I understand what you mean :)
[10:37] <ericy> Where can I post one screenshot?
[10:39] <MrChrisDruif> imgur.com
[10:41] <MrChrisDruif> Or even twitpic.com
[10:41] <slackmeister> hmmmm
[10:42] <MrChrisDruif> But you'd need twitter for the latter...
[10:43] <ericy> slackmeister: MrChrisDruif: Please see my one Lubuntu screenshot. http://i.imgur.com/PLOdf.png
[10:44] <MrChrisDruif> Turquoise panels? =-O
[10:45] <MrChrisDruif> And 8 desktops? :P
[10:45] <ericy> .
[10:45] <ericy> ...
[10:45] <MrChrisDruif> And minted window borders? :D
[10:46] <MrChrisDruif> I'd really freak out if I'd use your Lubuntu....but that is your system, so it's your choice of course :)
[10:47] <MrChrisDruif> 2 network managers?
[10:47] <MrChrisDruif> Or is it even 3?
[10:47] <slackmeister> MrChrisDruif, noticed the same
[10:48] <MrChrisDruif> ericy: ^
[10:48] <ericy> It's hard to explain.
[10:48] <slackmeister> ericy, you just need one network manager don
[10:49] <slackmeister> don't you?
[10:50] <ericy> One gives me rate/flow feedback, the other just gives me connect and change wlan connection.
[11:00] <slackmeister> compositing just won't work
[11:00] <ericy> slackmeister:  What kind of hardware do you have?
[11:01] <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
[11:02] <ericy> Mmm.
[11:57] <slackmeister> xcompmgr just spits out errors
[12:20] <slackmeister> how do you change window manager btw?
[12:21] <hyperair> window-manager --replace?
[12:22] <slackmeister> not found
[12:29] <phillw> hiyas hyperair
[12:29] <hyperair> hi phillw
[12:30] <hyperair> slackmeister: well i really mean replace window-manager with whatever window manager you want to use
[12:30] <slackmeister> sudo window-manager compiz?
[12:32]  * 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
[12:33] <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
[12:36] <slackmeister> that didn't go too well
[12:48] <Guest81253> Anybody familiar with Kernelcheck?
[12:49] <ericy> Guest81253:  Not me.
[12:50] <ericy> What does it do?
[12:50] <Guest81253> Automates kernel download and compile
[13:08] <wg67c> Hi, I have a question about PPA
[13:13] <slackmeister> hyperair, still no luck
[13:50] <tom_fritter> i opened a terminal and typed: cd ~/.xchat2 but can't find colors.conf or pevents.conf?
[13:52] <zonox> tom_fritter, maybe a reinstall will be the answer :S
[13:52] <zonox> or find the template file for those two
[13:53] <tom_fritter> shall do a reinstall of xchat
[13:53] <tom_fritter> ty zonox
[13:53] <zonox> tom_fritter, np :)
[14:22] <slackmeister> so, why isn't lubuntu supported by Canonical?
[14:27] <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.
[14:28] <slackmeister> so what's this endorsement thing?
[14:29] <phillw> slackmeister: this is best discussed in #lubuntu-offtopic this is a support channel.
[14:29] <slackmeister> i guess
[16:04] <tom_fritter> Hi
[16:05] <tom_fritter> I am using xchat 2.8.8-1ubuntu1 and i have been trying to change the theme
[16:06] <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?
[16:07] <tom_fritter> could someone help me please
[16:09] <tom_fritter> oh well
[22:10] <kristian_> hi all
[22:10] <kristian_> this is the dude usually suffixed -aalborg
[22:11] <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
[23:46] <kristian-livecd_> hi all
[23:46] <MrChrisDruif> Hai kristian-livecd_
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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?
[23:49] <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
