[00:42] <LAcan> how do I increase the color depth on ubuntu?
[00:42] <LAcan> err lubuntu
[00:42] <LAcan> to 32 bit
[02:59] <jmarsden> Can someone confirm that in Lubuntu 11.04, in chromium, clicking on a mailto: link opens another copy of chromium, instead of opening sylpheed?  And if it does, can you then confirm bug #779156 for me please?
[03:00] <jmarsden> (I'm not allowed to confirm bug I create...)
[18:32] <Valentine> hi
[18:32] <Valentine> its fast :D
[18:32] <Valentine> how to install ndiswrapper in lubuntu? I have installed but it is running in terminal only now with any GUI :(
[18:33] <Valentine> join #ubuntu
[18:33] <IAmNotThatGuy> joined
[18:33] <IAmNotThatGuy> :P
[18:33] <bioterror> :D
[18:33] <Valentine> :D
[18:34] <Valentine> My system is light like a paper with synaptic running two browsers and one messenger :D
[18:47] <Valentine> I want 12hours clock instead of 24hours, how can I?
[18:49] <Valentine> synaptic is slow for me, can i change mirrors or something like that of my synaptic?
[18:55] <phillw> Valentine: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CustomizingTheClock
[18:56] <Valentine> wohoo thank you :)
[19:20] <Valentine> Lubuntu some graphics sometime becomes ugly with dark dots etc in them. Specially progress bars during synaptic and update manager
[19:22] <Valentine> Lubuntu has become my choice. Due to its speed and look.
[19:34] <Valentine> I want to install common plugins such as java, flashplayer, mediaplayer codes etc, how ? simple method
[19:36] <bioterror> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:36] <bioterror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ and there's a guide for propietary java
[19:39] <bioterror> hmmm
[19:39] <bioterror> I think I should divide things for 10.10 and 11.04 and "universal2
[19:41] <Valentine> During installation of Lubuntu I didnt tick "install third party softwares codes etc" coz i was not having internet that time.
[19:41] <bioterror> yeah
[19:41] <bioterror> install lubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:41] <bioterror> and then java from as FAQ tells you ;)
[19:43] <Valentine> yes installing sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:50] <jmarsden> bioterror: Does't your wine change in the FAQ go against policy?  See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Policies#Execute-Permission%20Bit%20Required
[19:50] <bioterror> Unit193, !!
[19:57] <jmarsden> bioterror: Without that change, what exactly is the issue with wine in Lubuntu?  is it bug #561479 you are trying to work around?
[19:57] <bioterror> jmarsden, ask from unit, he wanted me to add it :D
[19:58] <jmarsden> OK.  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.
[20:00] <Valentine> Configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer ,,, i cant click on OK button on this screen in terminal. its some text editor?
[20:03] <Valentine> I did it with TAB key
[20:03] <bioterror> o/
[20:04] <Valentine> :D
[20:21] <Unit193> jmarsden: bioterror: Oops... It doesn't tell you why it won't run the program
[20:22] <ahma> How do I make upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04, and should I download updates before release upgrade?
[20:22] <bioterror> ahma, sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[20:22] <bioterror> ahma, and no
[20:22] <bioterror> there's a different repo for that
[20:22] <bioterror> ahma, but you should check that you have lubuntu-desktop installed
[20:23] <ahma> I installed from 10.10 lubuntu alternate cd
[20:40] <sneakers> Hi, 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 jus
[20:40] <sneakers> t hangs at a solid black screen.  Anyone know how to fix these problems?  Thanks.
[20:46] <bioterror> sneakers, VLC? :)
[20:47] <ahma> Why VLC is not the default?
[20:47] <sneakers> but I want to use the default player that comes with Lubuntu 11.04.
[20:48] <MrChrisDruif> ahma: Possibly because of system resources it requires
[20:59] <ahma> Yes, but it is not default in ubuntu either... (sorry for the offtopic)
[20:59] <sneakers> what is default player in ubuntu 11.04?
[21:00] <MrChrisDruif> sneakers: Banshee
[21:01] <ahma> sneakers,  I would try VLC
[21:02] <sneakers> MrChrisDruif, So why is Banshee default in Ubuntu but not Lubuntu?
[21:02] <sneakers> should I use banshee vlc or gnome mplayer?
[21:02] <sneakers> why doesnt the default media player with lubuntu work?
[21:03] <bioterror> you tell us ;)
[21:03] <bioterror> launch it from terminal and see what it prompts
[21:04] <sneakers> ok well I have to reboot first because gnome mplayer crashed when I tried to play my dvd movie
[21:06] <MrChrisDruif> sneakers: 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] <sneakers> ok
[21:06] <sneakers> but i just want to play my DVD movie
[21:06] <MrChrisDruif> However, we won't stop users from installing it :) Just like apt-xapian-index for the quick-search feature in synaptic
[21:07] <MrChrisDruif> You'd need libdvdcss if I remember correct and a video-player
[21:07] <MrChrisDruif> software, like mplayer, vlc, banshee or what ever your fancy has
[21:07] <sneakers> I have libdvdcss
[21:07] <sneakers> and Gnome Mplayer
[21:08] <sneakers> which is what lubuntu 11.04 comes with by default
[21:08] <sneakers> and when I play my dvd movie, gnome mplayer has a bunch of corrupted video
[21:08] <bioterror> !libdvdcss
[21:09] <sneakers> ooh
[21:09] <sneakers> I already have libdvdcss
[21:09] <sneakers> ok check this out
[21:09] <sneakers> in gnome mplayer, when I open dvd WITH MENUS
[21:09] <sneakers> it works
[21:09] <sneakers> if I just do "open dvd"
[21:09] <sneakers> the video is scrambled
[21:09] <sneakers> what a retarded interface
[21:10] <sneakers> and 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] <sneakers> so those are 2 bug reports
[21:13] <bioterror> should I checked with my wife's laptop
[21:13] <bioterror> she has dvd drive
[21:13] <bioterror> maybe american history x? :D
[21:13] <bioterror> bug i might get mad if the curb stomb wont work!
[21:13] <bioterror> but
[21:15] <bioterror> wife has vlc installed, suggests vlc ;)
[21:19] <ahma> From where I am able to choose that laptop lid closing does "blank screen"?
[21:19] <bioterror> now that laptop just loads lots of stuff from harddrive and tryis from DVD :D
[21:19] <bioterror> ahma, unplug power cord
[21:19] <bioterror> and... ta-daaa!
[21:20] <bioterror> gnome mplayer seems to be steaming pile of luv
[21:20] <sneakers> and we all know what luv means
[21:21] <ahma> what means power cord?
[21:21] <bioterror> ahma, no virtajohto
[21:21] <sneakers> i really really like lubuntu aside from this gnome movie player.
[21:21] <ahma> I did it and my computer fell asleep
[21:21] <bioterror> sneakers, install vlc, problem solved
[21:22] <jmarsden> sneakers: Or file a clear well written bug report, if you believe you have found a reproducible bug.
[21:22] <sneakers> bioterror, if i install vlc.....its a qt app.  lubuntu uses gtk+
[21:22] <bioterror> why iotop is not default application of ubuntu
[21:22] <sneakers> also, if i install vlc, will it open automatically when i put in the dvd into the tray?
[21:22] <bioterror> sneakers, if you install vlc, you might see your DVD :(
[21:23] <sneakers> vlc is qt app
[21:23] <sneakers> ugh
[21:24] <jmarsden> bioterror: Because iotop is fairly techie, and most Ubuntu users are not at all techie :)
[21:24] <ahma> Just try it, you can always remove it
[21:24] <bioterror> with VLC I got instantly dvd to play
[21:24] <bioterror> with gnome mplayer nothing
[21:25] <sneakers> but vlc is a QT app
[21:25] <bioterror> and?
[21:25] <jmarsden> sneakers: So?  Are you boycotting Qt for some reason?
[21:25] <sneakers> doesnt match up with lxde which uses GTK
[21:25] <bioterror> hahaha
[21:25] <sneakers> no I just like using native toolkit apps that match the desktop environment i am using
[21:25] <bioterror> we use alsamixer
[21:25] <bioterror> it doesnt have gtk front-end
[21:26] <bioterror> I just like stuff that works
[21:26] <jmarsden> Choose: 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 :)
[21:27] <sneakers> jmarsden, tell that to the lubuntu devs
[21:27] <jmarsden> sneakers: Um... who do you think the two current Ubuntu devs are? :)
[21:29] <jmarsden> Lubuntu devs I mean...
[21:29] <sneakers> whoever 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] <jmarsden> Hint: 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.
[21:30] <jmarsden> Meanwhile, try using vlc so you at least can watch that particular video right away :)
[21:31] <jmarsden> sneakers: 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.
[21:33] <sneakers> https://bugs.launchpad.net/~lubuntu ?
[21:33] <jmarsden> Did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs yet? :)
[21:37] <jmarsden> sneakers: Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Troubleshooting in case that helps at all.
[21:37] <jmarsden> Reading that whole page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs might be good, actually, even if it is a little outdated.
[21:37] <sneakers> I did read it
[21:38] <sneakers> that was one of the first things I did because I already knew that lubuntu-restricted-extras package did not have libdvdcss in it
[21:48] <bonny> I need help with wine to download games i am using lubuntu 11.04
[21:49] <MrChrisDruif> !wine
[21:50] <bonny> mrchrisdruif can u please just tell me what to do
[21:54] <phillw> bonny: please head over to http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=313 and read the stickies, specifically http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885111
