Valentinewohoo thank you :)18:56
ValentineLubuntu some graphics sometime becomes ugly with dark dots etc in them. Specially progress bars during synaptic and update manager19:20
ValentineLubuntu has become my choice. Due to its speed and look.19:22
ValentineI want to install common plugins such as java, flashplayer, mediaplayer codes etc, how ? simple method19:34
bioterrorsudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras19:36
bioterrorhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ and there's a guide for propietary java19:36
bioterrorhmmm19:39
bioterrorI think I should divide things for 10.10 and 11.04 and "universal219:39
ValentineDuring installation of Lubuntu I didnt tick "install third party softwares codes etc" coz i was not having internet that time.19:41
bioterroryeah19:41
bioterrorinstall lubuntu-restricted-extras19:41
bioterrorand then java from as FAQ tells you ;)19:41
Valentineyes installing sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras19:43
jmarsdenbioterror: Does't your wine change in the FAQ go against policy?  See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Policies#Execute-Permission%20Bit%20Required19:50
bioterrorUnit193, !!19:50
jmarsdenbioterror: Without that change, what exactly is the issue with wine in Lubuntu?  is it bug #561479 you are trying to work around?19:57

bioterrorjmarsden, ask from unit, he wanted me to add it :D19:57
jmarsdenOK.  I think privately recommending that sort of change is OK when it is needed, but in a FAQ... I'm not sure that's a good idea, it does reduce security somewhat.19:58
ValentineConfiguring ttf-mscorefonts-installer ,,, i cant click on OK button on this screen in terminal. its some text editor?20:00

ahmaHow do I make upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04, and should I download updates before release upgrade?20:22
bioterrorahma, sudo do-release-upgrade -d20:22
bioterrorahma, and no20:22
bioterrorthere's a different repo for that20:22
bioterrorahma, but you should check that you have lubuntu-desktop installed20:22
ahmaI installed from 10.10 lubuntu alternate cd20:23
sneakersHi, I just installed lubuntu 11.04 and I have lubuntu-restricted-extras installed as well as the libdvdcss library.  When I insert a commercial DVD into my optical drive tray, I get a dialog window that asks me if I want to open it in File Manager.  No.  I want to open it in the default media player!  So that is a problem.  Also, I went to the default media player from the menu system.  When I try to play the DVD with GNOME MPlayer, it jus20:40
sneakerst hangs at a solid black screen.  Anyone know how to fix these problems?  Thanks.20:40
bioterrorsneakers, VLC? :)20:46
ahmaWhy VLC is not the default?20:47
sneakersbut I want to use the default player that comes with Lubuntu 11.04.20:47
MrChrisDruifahma: Possibly because of system resources it requires20:48
ahmaYes, but it is not default in ubuntu either... (sorry for the offtopic)20:59
sneakerswhat is default player in ubuntu 11.04?20:59
MrChrisDruifsneakers: Banshee21:00
ahmasneakers,  I would try VLC21:01
sneakersMrChrisDruif, So why is Banshee default in Ubuntu but not Lubuntu?21:02
sneakersshould I use banshee vlc or gnome mplayer?21:02
sneakerswhy doesnt the default media player with lubuntu work?21:02
bioterroryou tell us ;)21:03
bioterrorlaunch it from terminal and see what it prompts21:03
sneakersok well I have to reboot first because gnome mplayer crashed when I tried to play my dvd movie21:04
MrChrisDruifsneakers: First of all, we only inspire to be an official derivate of Lubuntu and secondly we are not required to have the same apps as Ubuntu. Or aim (as is that of LXDE) is to provide an lightweight alternative to Ubuntu (LXDE for all X11 environments), if Banshee isn't what we acquire to achieve, we won't ship it as default.21:06
sneakersok21:06
sneakersbut i just want to play my DVD movie21:06
MrChrisDruifHowever, we won't stop users from installing it :) Just like apt-xapian-index for the quick-search feature in synaptic21:06
MrChrisDruifYou'd need libdvdcss if I remember correct and a video-player21:07
MrChrisDruifsoftware, like mplayer, vlc, banshee or what ever your fancy has21:07
sneakersI have libdvdcss21:07
sneakersand Gnome Mplayer21:07
sneakerswhich is what lubuntu 11.04 comes with by default21:08
sneakersand when I play my dvd movie, gnome mplayer has a bunch of corrupted video21:08
bioterror!libdvdcss21:08
ubot5Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats21:08
sneakersooh21:09
sneakersI already have libdvdcss21:09
sneakersok check this out21:09
sneakersin gnome mplayer, when I open dvd WITH MENUS21:09
sneakersit works21:09
sneakersif I just do "open dvd"21:09
sneakersthe video is scrambled21:09
sneakerswhat a retarded interface21:09
sneakersand when I insert the movie into my tray, I get a dialog window that just says "Open In File Manager".  I'd expect to see an option to "Play DVD with Gnome Mplayer" or something similar.21:10
sneakersso those are 2 bug reports21:10
bioterrorshould I checked with my wife's laptop21:13
bioterrorshe has dvd drive21:13
bioterrormaybe american history x? :D21:13
bioterrorbug i might get mad if the curb stomb wont work!21:13
bioterrorbut21:13
bioterrorwife has vlc installed, suggests vlc ;)21:15
ahmaFrom where I am able to choose that laptop lid closing does "blank screen"?21:19
bioterrornow that laptop just loads lots of stuff from harddrive and tryis from DVD :D21:19
bioterrorahma, unplug power cord21:19
bioterrorand... ta-daaa!21:19
bioterrorgnome mplayer seems to be steaming pile of luv21:20
sneakersand we all know what luv means21:20
ahmawhat means power cord?21:21
bioterrorahma, no virtajohto21:21
sneakersi really really like lubuntu aside from this gnome movie player.21:21
ahmaI did it and my computer fell asleep21:21
bioterrorsneakers, install vlc, problem solved21:21
jmarsdensneakers: Or file a clear well written bug report, if you believe you have found a reproducible bug.21:22
sneakersbioterror, if i install vlc.....its a qt app.  lubuntu uses gtk+21:22
bioterrorwhy iotop is not default application of ubuntu21:22
sneakersalso, if i install vlc, will it open automatically when i put in the dvd into the tray?21:22
bioterrorsneakers, if you install vlc, you might see your DVD :(21:22
sneakersvlc is qt app21:23
sneakersugh21:23
jmarsdenbioterror: Because iotop is fairly techie, and most Ubuntu users are not at all techie :)21:24
ahmaJust try it, you can always remove it21:24
bioterrorwith VLC I got instantly dvd to play21:24
bioterrorwith gnome mplayer nothing21:24
sneakersbut vlc is a QT app21:25
bioterrorand?21:25
jmarsdensneakers: So?  Are you boycotting Qt for some reason?21:25
sneakersdoesnt match up with lxde which uses GTK21:25
bioterrorhahaha21:25
sneakersno I just like using native toolkit apps that match the desktop environment i am using21:25
bioterrorwe use alsamixer21:25
bioterrorit doesnt have gtk front-end21:25
bioterrorI just like stuff that works21:26
jmarsdenChoose: working video playback, but the window decorations might not match, or non-workng video playback, but hey, the windows match the DE ... I know which one I would choose :)21:26
sneakersjmarsden, tell that to the lubuntu devs21:27
jmarsdensneakers: Um... who do you think the two current Ubuntu devs are? :)21:27
jmarsdenLubuntu devs I mean...21:29
sneakerswhoever they are, they should take your advice......because for some reason they picked the non-working video playback that has the windows matching the DE.21:29
jmarsdenHint: I am one of them.  If you have found a bug, write a clear bug report so we can reproduce it, and we'll do our best to take a look at the issue.21:29
jmarsdenMeanwhile, try using vlc so you at least can watch that particular video right away :)21:30
jmarsdensneakers: Read http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs to get ideas on how to write good bug reports for us.21:31
sneakershttps://bugs.launchpad.net/~lubuntu ?21:33
jmarsdenDid you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs yet? :)21:33
jmarsdensneakers: Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Troubleshooting in case that helps at all.21:37
jmarsdenReading that whole page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs might be good, actually, even if it is a little outdated.21:37
sneakersI did read it21:37
sneakersthat was one of the first things I did because I already knew that lubuntu-restricted-extras package did not have libdvdcss in it21:38
