| phillw | head_victim: what happens when you just cd to the directory from lxterminal? | 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| head_victim | Nothing, that's what it opens to by default ;) | 00:12 |
| phillw | head_victim: I'd flag it as a bug via bug reporting so that pcman can have a look at it. | 00:14 |
| Unit193 | ls -l ? | 00:14 |
| Unit193 | Take a look at who owns it | 00:14 |
| head_victim | The logged in user does | 00:14 |
| head_victim | WOW, I just tried to open chromium and it threw an error "cannot be opened as root" | 00:27 |
| head_victim | No idea what's going on but I think everything thinks I'm root | 00:27 |
| head_victim | Everything opens fine from the terminal but tries to open as root when I use the icons in the menu | 00:30 |
| phillw | head_victim: you haven't run gksu from terminal at some point instead of gksudo? | 00:41 |
| head_victim | Nope, I don't use gksudo | 00:42 |
| head_victim | Nope, I don't use gksudo | 00:42 |
| phillw | gksudo is the correct one, gksu can really screw things up. | 00:43 |
| phillw | I'm not too sure, permissions can be a real PITA when they get messed up. | 00:44 |
| head_victim | I don't do either really, anything root I need I do cli | 00:44 |
| phillw | are the ownership on ~home/user set as you would expect? | 00:45 |
| head_victim | Yep | 00:48 |
| head_victim | And they all open fine from cli. Weird stuff :) | 00:48 |
| phillw | I'd be tempted to run a recursive chown & chgrp on the directory. (you can combine them) | 00:49 |
| head_victim | Yeah it's not just a directory though, I've already tried it :) | 00:49 |
| head_victim | I clicked chromium as well from the menu and it tried to open as root as well | 00:49 |
| phillw | if that does not work, file a bug. I've not come across it before - possibly one of the others has. | 00:49 |
| head_victim | So it's somethink gui related | 00:49 |
| phillw | head_victim: , jmarsden or bioterror are the two I would ask. I've not come across it before, so do not know what to advise. | 00:50 |
| head_victim | That's ok, any idea what package to file against? | 00:51 |
| head_victim | Lubuntu-meta is what I'm going for | 00:52 |
| phillw | head_victim: I'd just put it onto the mailing list - they both read them. | 00:52 |
| head_victim | Roger that | 00:54 |
| phillw | and with that, this little drone is going to his alcove for regeneration. My 5 year old niece and 1 year old nephew are due here this morning - I need all the regeneration I can get :P | 00:55 |
| head_victim | Night mate | 00:56 |
| === peregrinator_six is now known as Monarquista | ||
| Fudge | hi phillw , are you the one working on accessibility? | 02:58 |
| head_victim | Fudge: he just went to bed 2 hours ago, but yeah he's the one coordinating the efforts with Lubuntu | 03:03 |
| Fudge | thanks head_victim ill hang and try to catch him another time | 03:03 |
| head_victim | Fudge: no worries, he's in the UK so timing is fun :) If all else fails there is the mailing list | 03:03 |
| Fudge | ive seen some posts so guess im on it loL, yeah those 10 or 11 hours suck | 03:04 |

| jmarsden | head_victim: Did you solve your permissions issue? | 04:25 |
| sumrandom | dudes | 08:50 |
| sumrandom | using the livecd | 08:50 |
| sumrandom | and it locks up whenever i click on anything | 08:50 |
| sumrandom | menu, launchers etc | 08:51 |
| sumrandom | even the install icon | 08:51 |
| zeroedout | can you drop to a terminal? | 08:51 |
| sumrandom | which is a pain as i am trying to install | 08:51 |
| sumrandom | nah frozen | 08:51 |
| zeroedout | it only freezes after you click something? | 08:52 |
| zeroedout | how much RAM does your machine have? | 08:53 |
| sumrandom | yeah. moving the mouse etc is fine, until you click | 08:53 |
| sumrandom | 256 | 08:53 |
| sumrandom | old laptop | 08:53 |
| zeroedout | hrmm, it could be running out of memory. You may need to use the non-graphical method | 08:54 |
| zeroedout | it's not as pretty but i've done it a couple times and the steps are very easy to follow | 08:54 |
| zeroedout | before you do that though, you can try to bootup again, go to a tty and hit dmesg and see if anything is weird | 08:54 |
| zeroedout | you may also have bad RAM so you could try memtest and see if it detects any errors | 08:55 |
| sumrandom | cool, the minimal install, i need a different iso? | 08:56 |
| sumrandom | might try that aye, the memtest on the disc said memory is good | 08:56 |
| head_victim | jmarsden: nope, id states I'm just the normal user ("jared"), so does finger, whoami, etc. If I run a program from cli they run as user jared (unless I specifically run it as root obviously) and when I run a program from pressing a gui icon it runs as root all the time, never the user. pcmanfm & opens it as the nomal user and works fine as expected. Clicking the icon for pcmanfm tries to open up /home/jared and then whinges about | 09:25 |
| head_victim | permissions. It's a little odd | 09:25 |
| Luffy | how to unrar? | 09:37 |

| mati75 | I saw lubuntu 11.10 alpha1 is released | 12:41 |
| mati75 | http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-oneiric-alpha1.iso | 12:41 |
| phillw | mati75: it is just a house keeping excercise. Nothing major on it and built using the 'old' withos of iso building. The fun starts with A2 :) | 13:23 |
| phillw | *method* | 13:24 |
| head_victim | phillw: I can't wait for it to be official, because then I'll be able to mirror it all locally with my rsync I already run for my local mirror | 13:26 |
| silverarrow | hi | 13:27 |
| silverarrow | does anyone know the network manager well? | 13:27 |
| silverarrow | I miss a function in the network signal indicator | 13:28 |
| silverarrow | it was better in the last lubuntu version | 13:28 |
| silverarrow | is there any way to retrieve this fuction? | 13:30 |
| silverarrow | where it shows signal strength, and signal quality of wireless network? | 13:31 |
| silverarrow | do channell is pretty dead ? | 13:32 |
| head_victim | silverarrow: sorry I've never used wireless with Lubuntu so can't really say | 13:32 |
| silverarrow | oh, | 13:32 |
| silverarrow | I see | 13:32 |
| head_victim | If you get no luck in here maybe try the mailing list | 13:32 |
| silverarrow | wireless is a must here | 13:33 |
| head_victim | Details at https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop | 13:33 |
| silverarrow | :- ) | 13:33 |
| head_victim | Ah yeah, I don't even own a laptop :/ | 13:33 |
| silverarrow | thanks | 13:33 |
| silverarrow | stationaries are good | 13:33 |
| silverarrow | but if I had one, I would have to resort ot wireless at the moment, even there lol | 13:34 |
| silverarrow | lubuntu handles laptops rather well | 13:34 |
| beef-supreme | i need help configuring lxdm | 13:54 |
| beef-supreme | anyone on? i want to configure lxdm | 13:59 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | Hello! I use Ubuntu(with gnome). After format the system, I always remove from startup the gnome-panel. Instead of it I use AWN as panel. If i will use LXDE, I will do the same thing for LXDE. Canonical will support Lubuntu soon. LXDE is faster than gnome. For me it is better to use Lubuntu? Thank you! | 16:41 |
| stlsaint | ubuntucu_ahmet: are you asking if Lubuntu will work with AWN? | 16:42 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | stlsaint: I don't know. But I know that AWN is independed from desktop manager. :-X | 16:43 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | stlsaint: http://www.myvideo.de/watch/6867694/LXDE_Compiz_Emerald_AWN I think it works. I read it now from some other sites too. | 16:47 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | stlsaint: sorry i hadnt understand the quesiton true... i don't ask this. | 16:47 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | I am asking if is better for me to use Lubuntu (ubuntu with lxde) ? | 16:48 |
| stlsaint | ubuntucu_ahmet: if you want to stick to lxde than i suggest lubuntu | 16:53 |
| stlsaint | ubuntucu_ahmet: if you just want to test lxde with ubuntu than install the lubuntu-desktop package | 16:53 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | stlsaint: i jt need to know what will i lose if i start Lubuntu ? | 16:53 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | stlsaint: you told me to test it.... | 16:54 |
| stlsaint | ubuntucu_ahmet: programming and filemanager for one | 16:54 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | programming ? | 16:54 |
| stlsaint | ubuntucu_ahmet: download the iso and give it a test in a vbox | 16:54 |
| stlsaint | ubuntucu_ahmet: sorry, i mean programs | 16:54 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | ok i will test it. | 16:54 |
| stlsaint | applications are different from ubuntu and lubuntu | 16:54 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | i can use all programs with lxde right ? | 16:54 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | i understand... ok. | 16:55 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | thank you! | 16:55 |
| ubuntucu_ahmet | ;-) | 16:55 |
| stlsaint | no prob | 16:55 |

| Tandyman100 | Well, lubuntu is the best debian-based distro for old computers. Period. I just installed 11.04 on my eMachines 633mhz, and it flies. | 23:14 |
| phillw | Tandyman100: thank you for taking the time to say so :) | 23:51 |
| Tandyman100 | Just discovered the netbook interface, so I'm almost definitely putting this on my EEE PC 900 | 23:56 |
