| churly | Can I add a program shortcut on the LXDE main menu that is not in a subcategory, just on the base menu? Can this be done, by chance, by remove the "Categories=" line in the desktop file? Or the "Type="? Or is there another trick? | 02:12 |

| kunguz | Hi, how to open package manager in lubuntu? I saw an update-manager... | 06:23 |
| bioterror | synaptic | 06:24 |
| bioterror | from the menu | 06:24 |
| kunguz | bioterror: now, I saw it. Thank you. | 06:25 |
| kunguz | instead of flash player plugin, will lightspark do the job also? | 06:26 |
| bioterror | we tend to use flashplayer-nonfree | 06:32 |
| kunguz | bioterror: thanks | 06:41 |
| bioterror | np and laters ;) | 06:42 |

| SpaceBack | Hi ! | 11:57 |
| bioterror | SpaceBack, if you want to chat with us, #lubuntu-offtopic | 12:16 |
| SpaceBack | bioterror i just said hi ) | 12:36 |
| SpaceBack | :) | 12:36 |
| silverarrow | hi | 14:33 |
| silverarrow | is there any recommende email client like thunderbird for lubuntu? | 14:34 |
| DooitzeCompaq | Is thunderbird too heavy for your computer? | 14:36 |
| silverarrow | I haven't tried it yet, I shouldn't think so | 14:37 |
| silverarrow | I think Opera has one too | 14:38 |
| DooitzeCompaq | besides Thunderbird there is Evolution | 14:38 |
| DooitzeCompaq | oh, I didn't know that | 14:38 |
| SpaceBack | silverarrow there is Sylpheed | 14:38 |
| silverarrow | I have to google them | 14:39 |
| silverarrow | :- ) thanks | 14:39 |
| DooitzeCompaq | http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/ | 14:39 |
| silverarrow | sylpheed might be the fastest then? | 14:41 |
| SpaceBack | dont really know,just try and see if you like it | 14:42 |
| silverarrow | I used to have outlook, but I don't use windows that much anymore | 14:42 |
| silverarrow | hotmail is so full of spam, and popups | 14:42 |
| DooitzeCompaq | so you wanted to find a good alternative | 14:43 |
| silverarrow | yes | 14:43 |
| silverarrow | I shall go for sylpheed, and see how it works | 14:43 |
| DooitzeCompaq | I don't use hotmail anymore | 14:43 |
| DooitzeCompaq | I now use google mail or gmail | 14:43 |
| silverarrow | is it any better? | 14:43 |
| SpaceBack | i use hotmail,gmail,mail.com and its the same *hit,but i need a email adress,dont I :) | 14:45 |
| silverarrow | I got a bit conserned when youtube and google mail sort of merged | 14:45 |
| DooitzeCompaq | yes | 14:46 |
| silverarrow | we do | 14:46 |
| silverarrow | there seem to be less commersials in gmail | 14:46 |
| SpaceBack | and i used yahoo but them number of spam messages were incredible | 14:46 |
| silverarrow | I get spam too in hotmail, but they mostly go in the junk folder | 14:47 |
| DooitzeCompaq | what you could do is first register a google account and afterwards a youtube one. Next you remove your google account and you can use your youtube account without Google account | 14:47 |
| SpaceBack | the best of them for me is mail.com | 14:47 |
| silverarrow | I have grown to like lubuntu, so on this comptuer it probalby is a good idea to stay with the lightweigh stuff | 14:48 |
| silverarrow | I'm also trying to make puppylinux work | 14:49 |
| SpaceBack | puppy is a great distro but i must say that i didnt expect that lubuntu is such a stable distro | 14:49 |
| silverarrow | The only reason I still want ubuntu is because of Totem player | 14:49 |
| SpaceBack | i used most of my time slackware but i really could not any more get along with the package installation process | 14:50 |
| silverarrow | I see | 14:51 |
| silverarrow | I never tried slackware | 14:51 |
| silverarrow | maybe I will though | 14:51 |
| silverarrow | I have used, puppy, lubuntu, ubuntu, fedora, | 14:51 |
| SpaceBack | slack is a very interesting distro | 14:51 |
| silverarrow | linspire | 14:51 |
| SpaceBack | i used from number 1 to 83 http://distrowatch.com/ | 14:52 |
| SpaceBack | xD | 14:52 |
| silverarrow | cool | 14:52 |
| SpaceBack | not really | 14:52 |
| SpaceBack | i had to trash many many cd's | 14:53 |
| silverarrow | trouble burning? | 14:53 |
| SpaceBack | no but i got a box where i can throw away my used cd's for linux | 14:54 |
| SpaceBack | there are many distros | 14:54 |
| silverarrow | yes, I have no amition to try them all lol | 14:55 |
| silverarrow | but some I will | 14:55 |
| SpaceBack | arch must be on your list | 14:55 |
| SpaceBack | its a great distro | 14:55 |
| SpaceBack | and slack and gentoo | 14:56 |
| SpaceBack | after that you are really good linux user :D | 14:57 |
| silverarrow | bac | 15:21 |
| silverarrow | back | 15:21 |
| silverarrow | sorry, I got a phone call | 15:21 |
| leszek | hi | 16:03 |
| DooitzeCompaq | hi | 16:04 |
| silverarrow | hi | 16:05 |
| silverarrow | why isn't Opera in package manager? | 16:06 |
| leszek | silverarrow: it isn't free software | 16:06 |
| silverarrow | are you shore? | 16:06 |
| leszek | its definitately closed source | 16:07 |
| leszek | I think you can find it in the ubuntu partner repository or just on opera.com. They have a ppa or something like that | 16:07 |
| silverarrow | it's free for download, and in Puppy linux it is found as a puplet | 16:07 |
| leszek | its freeware but not free software | 16:07 |
| silverarrow | I see | 16:07 |
| leszek | ubuntu uses the partner repo for something like that | 16:08 |
| silverarrow | thanks, usefull to know these things ;- ) | 16:08 |
| leszek | see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding Canonical Partner Repositories | 16:08 |
| silverarrow | when I download opera, I get a warning "risk to system" or something like that | 16:12 |
| silverarrow | how much am I likely to mess up if I mark off for natty-backports? | 16:13 |
| leszek | silverarrow: its not recommened for the average user | 16:15 |
| leszek | its only useful if you know how to report and send a bug | 16:16 |
| silverarrow | I might not do it then | 16:16 |
| silverarrow | I think my old hard drive must have been full of errors | 16:16 |
| silverarrow | lubuntu runs like a dream now | 16:16 |
| pmatulis | strange, lubuntu is using 466 out of 512 MB of memory when nothing is running. normal? doesn't seem very light to me | 17:41 |
| DooitzeCompaq | pmatulis, do you have a gpu which use shared memory? | 17:44 |
| pmatulis | DooitzeCompaq: this is a kvm guest with the cirrus emulated card | 17:45 |
| DooitzeCompaq | okay | 17:45 |
| DooitzeCompaq | sounds strange | 17:46 |
| pmatulis | DooitzeCompaq: it's disappointing | 17:46 |
| DooitzeCompaq | Try virtualbox | 17:46 |
| DooitzeCompaq | I used lubuntu with less memory than 512MB | 17:47 |
| DooitzeCompaq | maybe its a bug that it uses too much memory when running on a kvm host | 17:48 |
| kill3 | I use Lubuntu on laptop which has 256MB RAM | 17:48 |
| DooitzeCompaq | so I think its a bug pmutils, use virtualbox | 18:04 |
| pmatulis | DooitzeCompaq: alright | 18:15 |
| DooitzeCompaq | good luck pmatulis | 18:15 |
| silverarrow | hi | 19:44 |
| === palhmbs_ is now known as palhmbs | ||
| silverarrow | how do I install from root? | 20:03 |
| silverarrow | I am in termial window, and it asks for root command | 20:03 |
| DooitzeCompaq | sudo apt-get install [package] | 20:04 |
| silverarrow | hmm, terminal closed | 20:07 |
| silverarrow | weird | 20:07 |
| silverarrow | I usued to be able to download Opera with out terminal | 20:07 |
| silverarrow | £$½"#% | 20:07 |
| silverarrow | why do I get terminal and not package manager? | 20:14 |
| silverarrow | is it possible to download Opera from terminal? | 20:21 |
| === palhmbs is now known as palhmbs_ | ||
| Unit193 | silverarrow: You can install Opera from a repo (hosted on their server) | 20:22 |
| silverarrow | I have dowloaded directly from their site, but installation got a bit tricky with root commands | 20:23 |
| bioterror | sudo dpkg -I opera.deb | 20:24 |
| Unit193 | silverarrow: You should be able to do this: wget -O file http://deb.opera.com/archive.key && sudo apt-key add file && sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list' && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install opera | 20:24 |
| silverarrow | yes something is happening | 20:26 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: That was from the bonny events... | 20:27 |
| silverarrow | where did you find that Unit193? | 20:28 |
| silverarrow | worked like nothing else | 20:28 |
| Unit193 | I just put it into one command: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/15 | 20:28 |
| silverarrow | cool, I shall have to remember that | 20:29 |
| silverarrow | Error in file "/usr/share/applications/gnumeric.desktop": "zz-application/zz-winassoc-xls" is an invalid MIME type ("zz-application" is an unregistered media type) | 20:29 |
| silverarrow | should I worry about the last message there? | 20:29 |
| silverarrow | I shall have to go on Amazon and find a book on how to get to now Terminal window | 20:32 |
| bioterror | !cli | silverarrow | 20:32 |
| ubot5 | silverarrow: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 20:32 |
| silverarrow | cool | 20:33 |
| silverarrow | I got a lot of lib updates after the Opera installation, are they any good in Lubuntu? | 20:33 |
| Unit193 | I wouldn't know, I don't use or plan to use Opera | 20:34 |
| silverarrow | you are in firefox? | 20:35 |
| silverarrow | I tried midori, which was all right, exept for it kept crashing | 20:35 |
| Unit193 | midori isn't bad... | 20:37 |
| silverarrow | maybe I shall give midori a chance | 20:40 |
| Unit193 | I'm told Arora is small (but it's QT) | 20:40 |
| silverarrow | QT ? | 20:42 |
| leszek | Unit193: arora is lightweight. Its written in qt4 but who cares ;) | 21:14 |
| bioterror | Unit193, what's wrong with qt? | 21:15 |
| Unit193 | leszek: I haven't use it much, but that will bring in a TON of depends | 21:15 |
| leszek | Unit193: why ? | 21:15 |
| leszek | Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6~), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libqt4-network (>= 4:4.5.3), libqt4-script (>= 4:4.5.3), libqt4-sql (>= 4:4.5.3), libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.7.0~beta1), libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.6.1), libqtwebkit4, libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1) | 21:16 |
| leszek | that are the dependencies. I think this aren't so much | 21:16 |
| Unit193 | Hmmm... 37 MB isn't all that much (I must have already got half of them) | 21:17 |
| semitones | does lubuntu use pulseaudio? | 22:33 |
| bioterror | no | 22:34 |
| bioterror | just alsa | 22:34 |
| semitones | would it make sense to install pulseaudio on a 10yr old lubuntu laptop so I could stream music to it from a different computer? | 22:34 |
| bioterror | http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki ? | 22:35 |
| semitones | I kind of wanted the laptop to be more of a thin client | 22:36 |
| semitones | and all of the music would be played from youtube or mp3, but transmitted through LAN to the laptop (and thus the speakers) | 22:37 |
| bioterror | install mpd client to your laptop and mpd to your mp3 storage computer | 22:38 |
| semitones | is mpd easy to control? | 22:40 |
| semitones | like could I play a song in rhythmbox or similar, and have it play on the laptop? | 22:40 |
| bioterror | look that url I pasted ~10mins ago | 22:42 |
| semitones | i've been reading it, and it looks like pulseaudio is better | 22:47 |
| semitones | how difficult would it be to use pulse instead of alsa? | 22:47 |
| Rave1 | Hi what are you supposed to use as a user name and password for the live CD lubuntu 10.04 | 23:27 |
| GTRsdk | How do I test RAM easily? | 23:49 |
| Rave1 | GTRsdk, mem test | 23:50 |
| Rave1 | it is a part of most live CDs | 23:51 |
| GTRsdk | Rave1, is it possible by just using the menu on the GRUB bootloader? | 23:59 |
