[00:09] head_victim: what happens when you just cd to the directory from lxterminal? [00:12] Nothing, that's what it opens to by default ;) [00:14] head_victim: I'd flag it as a bug via bug reporting so that pcman can have a look at it. [00:14] ls -l ? [00:14] Take a look at who owns it [00:14] The logged in user does [00:27] WOW, I just tried to open chromium and it threw an error "cannot be opened as root" [00:27] No idea what's going on but I think everything thinks I'm root [00:30] Everything opens fine from the terminal but tries to open as root when I use the icons in the menu [00:41] head_victim: you haven't run gksu from terminal at some point instead of gksudo? [00:42] Nope, I don't use gksudo [00:42] Nope, I don't use gksudo [00:43] gksudo is the correct one, gksu can really screw things up. [00:44] I'm not too sure, permissions can be a real PITA when they get messed up. [00:44] I don't do either really, anything root I need I do cli [00:45] are the ownership on ~home/user set as you would expect? [00:48] Yep [00:48] And they all open fine from cli. Weird stuff :) [00:49] I'd be tempted to run a recursive chown & chgrp on the directory. (you can combine them) [00:49] Yeah it's not just a directory though, I've already tried it :) [00:49] I clicked chromium as well from the menu and it tried to open as root as well [00:49] if that does not work, file a bug. I've not come across it before - possibly one of the others has. [00:49] So it's somethink gui related [00:50] 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. [00:51] That's ok, any idea what package to file against? [00:52] Lubuntu-meta is what I'm going for [00:52] head_victim: I'd just put it onto the mailing list - they both read them. [00:54] Roger that [00:55] 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 [00:56] Night mate === peregrinator_six is now known as Monarquista [02:58] hi phillw , are you the one working on accessibility? [03:03] Fudge: he just went to bed 2 hours ago, but yeah he's the one coordinating the efforts with Lubuntu [03:03] thanks head_victim ill hang and try to catch him another time [03:03] Fudge: no worries, he's in the UK so timing is fun :) If all else fails there is the mailing list [03:04] ive seen some posts so guess im on it loL, yeah those 10 or 11 hours suck === palhmbs is now known as Guest36740 === Guest36740 is now known as palhmbs [04:25] head_victim: Did you solve your permissions issue? [08:50] dudes [08:50] using the livecd [08:50] and it locks up whenever i click on anything [08:51] menu, launchers etc [08:51] even the install icon [08:51] can you drop to a terminal? [08:51] which is a pain as i am trying to install [08:51] nah frozen [08:52] it only freezes after you click something? [08:53] how much RAM does your machine have? [08:53] yeah. moving the mouse etc is fine, until you click [08:53] 256 [08:53] old laptop [08:54] hrmm, it could be running out of memory. You may need to use the non-graphical method [08:54] it's not as pretty but i've done it a couple times and the steps are very easy to follow [08:54] before you do that though, you can try to bootup again, go to a tty and hit dmesg and see if anything is weird [08:55] you may also have bad RAM so you could try memtest and see if it detects any errors [08:56] cool, the minimal install, i need a different iso? [08:56] might try that aye, the memtest on the disc said memory is good [09:25] 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] permissions. It's a little odd [09:37] how to unrar? [09:38] please help? [12:41] I saw lubuntu 11.10 alpha1 is released [12:41] http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-oneiric-alpha1.iso [13:23] 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 :) [13:24] *method* [13:26] 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 [13:27] hi [13:27] does anyone know the network manager well? [13:28] I miss a function in the network signal indicator [13:28] it was better in the last lubuntu version [13:30] is there any way to retrieve this fuction? [13:31] where it shows signal strength, and signal quality of wireless network? [13:32] do channell is pretty dead ? [13:32] silverarrow: sorry I've never used wireless with Lubuntu so can't really say [13:32] oh, [13:32] I see [13:32] If you get no luck in here maybe try the mailing list [13:33] wireless is a must here [13:33] Details at https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop [13:33] :- ) [13:33] Ah yeah, I don't even own a laptop :/ [13:33] thanks [13:33] stationaries are good [13:34] but if I had one, I would have to resort ot wireless at the moment, even there lol [13:34] lubuntu handles laptops rather well [13:54] i need help configuring lxdm [13:59] anyone on? i want to configure lxdm [16:41] 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! [16:42] ubuntucu_ahmet: are you asking if Lubuntu will work with AWN? [16:43] stlsaint: I don't know. But I know that AWN is independed from desktop manager. :-X [16:47] 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] stlsaint: sorry i hadnt understand the quesiton true... i don't ask this. [16:48] I am asking if is better for me to use Lubuntu (ubuntu with lxde) ? [16:53] ubuntucu_ahmet: if you want to stick to lxde than i suggest lubuntu [16:53] ubuntucu_ahmet: if you just want to test lxde with ubuntu than install the lubuntu-desktop package [16:53] stlsaint: i jt need to know what will i lose if i start Lubuntu ? [16:54] stlsaint: you told me to test it.... [16:54] ubuntucu_ahmet: programming and filemanager for one [16:54] programming ? [16:54] ubuntucu_ahmet: download the iso and give it a test in a vbox [16:54] ubuntucu_ahmet: sorry, i mean programs [16:54] ok i will test it. [16:54] applications are different from ubuntu and lubuntu [16:54] i can use all programs with lxde right ? [16:55] i understand... ok. [16:55] thank you! [16:55] ;-) [16:55] no prob === loginlogin is now known as somename === somename is now known as somelogin [18:21] I'm happy that ubuntu has many functional desktops, including lxde === somelogin1 is now known as somelogin === slow-motion is now known as Der_Fuehrer === Der_Fuehrer is now known as slow-motion === kalithle1 is now known as kalithlev [23:14] Well, lubuntu is the best debian-based distro for old computers. Period. I just installed 11.04 on my eMachines 633mhz, and it flies. [23:51] Tandyman100: thank you for taking the time to say so :) [23:56] Just discovered the netbook interface, so I'm almost definitely putting this on my EEE PC 900
