carpediem666frhi everyone here !01:09
stlsaintcarpediem666fr: hello01:10
carpediem666frhi, i search an idea to put a program (Skype) in the start of Lubuntu01:10
carpediem666frdo any1 know it ?01:11
stlsaintcarpediem666fr: have ubuntu installed by default?01:14
stlsaintthere are some licensing issues with that01:14
carpediem666frlubuntu yes01:15
carpediem666frty stlsaint01:15
volkswagnerGreetings Lubu's... LOL01:17
stlsaintvolkswagner: hello01:18
volkswagnerI'm back for try number two with an update to my problem.01:19
volkswagnerOriginal problem: how can I show in menu "shutdown" and "Reboot" options running LXDE on Ubuntu 11.04?  Usually in Debian I add user to powerdev group, but this group does not even exist for 11.0401:20
volkswagnerUpdate:  I have been able to get root user to get the shutdown, reboot options by installing policykit-1-gnome, but I'm still at a loss on how to get a normal user with sudo priv's to get the shutdown options01:21
carpediem666frbye every1 ! have a good night !01:27
stlsaintso when you hit the logout button there is no option to shutdown?01:28
volkswagnerYes there is no option for shutdown or reboot, just logout or cancel.01:35
volkswagnerHere is the full list of recommended but not installed when installing LXDE --without-recommends http://pastebin.com/jKshvhN801:36
head_victimHere's a question for you all, does enabling -proposed in 11.10 alpha make a different at all?06:32
bioterrordo update & upgrade, enable it, do update & upgrade again ;)06:47
elroshead_victim: I guess not06:49
head_victimbioterror: trying now06:50
elrosmy gut feeling is that only "oneiric" is used on the dev stage, updates/proposed/backports are enabled after release06:50
head_victimelros: that's what I thought, but you never know06:51
elroswell, soon we will06:51
head_victimWell there are none to update at this stage after enabling proposed06:52
bioterror:)06:52
elrosbut that's not proof06:52
bioterrorand it's still alpha106:52
elrosso, It's consistent with earlier hypothesis and the new one06:53
elrosit's possible that 1) "oneiric-proposed" is empty 2) "oneiric-proposed" has older packages than "oneiric"06:54
head_victimYeah I asked in ubuntu+1 we'll see if I get an aswer06:55
head_victimanswer*06:55
head_victimNice to see my little pc running at it's potential for a change. Amazing how hard it is running 3 VMs and HDtv.06:56
elrospackages.ubuntu.com has only "oneiric"06:56
jmarsdenUm... wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric-proposed/Contents-i386.gz  lists no files yet.  Isn't this the easier way to test? :)06:59
head_victimjmarsden: well if you know what you're doing sure, that's a great test :D I never pretend to know what I'm doing ;)07:00
jmarsdenI try hard not to *pretend* I know what I'm doing, that can be dangerous :)07:00
elros:)07:01
head_victimOh I am sure I know nothing, that's why I ask so many questions07:01

beef-supremeanyone on?13:25
beef-supremei'm getting13:26
beef-supremeError: no default or UI configuration directive found when trying to boot13:26
phillwbeef-supreme: are you booting from USB?13:30
beef-supremeno, cd13:30
beef-supremei burned 3 cds and same error over and over13:31
beef-supremei am aware of the syslinux usb fix13:31
phillwbeef-supreme: have you checked the md5 on the file you downloaded?13:31
beef-supremebut this is cd13:31
beef-suprememd5 is good13:31
phillwis cd also good?13:31
beef-supremecd good?13:31
elrosyou can check cd integrity on the boot menu13:32
beef-supremewhen i get the error?13:32
beef-supremeand the boot: prompt?13:32
phillwbeef-supreme: when the cd 1st loads, amongst other options is one to test the cd. (Assuming you are using 11.04)13:33
beef-supremebut it doeasnt load,13:34
beef-supremei just get that error13:34
beef-supremeworked fine on my pc, but not on someone else's13:34
phillwbeef-supreme: I'd suggest, in that case, cleaning the lens on the cd drive of the computer that is sulking. Iso's are far more demanding than normal data cd's13:37
beef-supremetwo pcs, same output13:37
phillwwhat speed are you burning the cd at?13:38
beef-supremefirst at 24, then 8x13:38
phillwis 8X the slowest you can burn?13:38
beef-supremeyep13:38
phillwso, the initial screen itself does not load on booting?13:39
beef-supremeyes13:39
phillwthat points to a bad cd :/13:42
beef-supremewell yea but 3 different cds?13:43
phillwyeah, if the cd writer has a dirty write led it will keep writing bad ones.13:43
phillwcd units have two leds - read and write, they both must be clean :)13:43
phillwwhat programme are you using to create the cd?13:44
beef-supremebrasero at first then xfburn13:44
beef-supremeim using lubuntu13:48
beef-suprememinus the lubuntu part13:48
phillwthe only mentions I can find of it occurring with a cd is that of failed burn of the cd.13:53
beef-supremetoo bad :(13:53
phillwunder tools in brasero, there is an option to check cd integrity - I can only suggest you try that.13:54
beef-supremewill that take half an hour like the md5sum?13:57
phillwbeef-supreme: yup, it takes a while - but that is better than spending hours with a badly burnt cd :\13:58
beef-supremeare you a lubuntu developer or just user?13:59
phillwyou will need to test the cd you burnt using brasero, as it adds an md5 to the cd for it's own use, else if you wish to manually check the image that can be done faster if you are okay with the terminal.13:59
phillwI'm one of the guys who keeps the documentation upto date14:00
beef-supremehow can i get the iso to a usb?14:46
beef-supremeunetbootin didn't do much14:46
stlsaintbeef-supreme: are you on linux now?14:48
beef-supremei am, but i'm not the one trying to install it14:48
beef-supremewhy?14:48
beef-supremei'm phone-"debugging"14:48
stlsaintbeef-supreme: if you are runnign ubuntu you can use the usb-startup creator tool14:48
beef-supremegreat idea14:49
beef-supremetrying it out14:50
beef-supremethat didn't work14:58
stlsaintbeef-supreme: what are you trying to use and accomplish15:28
beef-supremeto install it15:35
beef-supremeto install lubuntu15:35
beef-supremebut in the meantime it worked15:35
beef-supremethanks for the tips anyway,15:36
beef-supremethe cds booted eventually15:37
beef-supremeit was some bios setting15:37
beef-supremethat was acting weird15:37

AmberJHello17:15
head_victimGday17:15
AmberJI just installed lubuntu 11.04 :)17:15
head_victimNice work, I have it in a VM, still haven't made it to a real hardware installation17:16
AmberJWhen I try to change wallpaper (by right clicking on desktop -> Desktop preferences -> Wallpaper mode -> Fill with background color only....This causes LXDE to restart17:16
head_victimOh I've not come across that before17:17
AmberJi.e. it drops me to login screen (lxdm?)17:17
AmberJhead_victim, I had tried reproducing it and it crashes every time I try it17:17
phillwAmberJ: I *think* it is a known bug.17:19
head_victimThat really is weird, it works fine here on 10.10 and 11.10 but I don't have 11.04 around anywhere actually17:19
head_victimOh wait, it rebooted in 11.1017:19
head_victimI lied :)17:19
head_victimWell it works in 10.10 apparently anything newer and it's broken17:19
AmberJphillw, Where's the lubuntu bug tracker?17:20
AmberJCan you link me to it?17:21
AmberJI can do a quick search to see if it's reported already...17:21
head_victimFound it17:22
head_victimBug 71834317:22
ubot5Launchpad bug 718343 in pcmanfm (Ubuntu) "whole session crashes on setting wallpaper mode to "background color only"" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/71834317:22
AmberJyea...ty head_victim :)17:22
head_victimIf you want to subscribe to it you will get updates when it's fixed :)17:22
phillwty head_victim I'm just setting up a web-site, so only part paying attention!17:23
head_victimphillw: glad to help mate17:23
AmberJhead_victim, Well, I personally prefer a wallpaper rather than solid bgcolor :) I mistakenly clicked on that option and my lxde session restarted so thought of reporting it here...17:24
head_victimAmberJ: not a problem, thanks for thinking of use though, we can only make it better when we know it's broken :)17:24
AmberJSo, I dont think I need to subscribe17:24
AmberJI'm planning to setup a 'lubuntu essentials' project....part of it will include ubuntu-restricted-extras package but there's other stuff that's not in there but worth installing on lubuntu, imho17:31
AmberJWhat say?17:31
bodhi_zazenAmberJ: well, "worth installing" varies by individual17:33
bodhi_zazenOne persons "worth installing" is another's bloat17:33
bodhi_zazenNo need to re package the restricted stuff either17:34
bodhi_zazenIMO17:34
bodhi_zazenpackaging the restricted stuff is problematic , thus "restricted" and so end users need to learn to install it for themselves, due to licensing issues, again IMO17:35
AmberJbodhi_zazen, agreed...ok, so I'll keep a script in my local repository rather than creating a new project for the same...17:37
bodhi_zazen+1 or post a how to on your blog17:37
AmberJyea..17:38
bodhi_zazenI have a post - install script I use, installs the extra apps I like, rsync my .bashrc and other config files17:39
ThraspicI'm looking to deactivate the highlighting that happens to my main menu icon when I hover over it, in lxpanel.  Any ideas?17:42

beef-supremewhy does ps -af return nothing?19:28
g7knabioterror, thanks.  Looks like a missing package icedtea6-plugin.  Added this and everything works.  Icedtea forces Firefox to be installed which is unnecessary from an operating system point of view#19:47

head_victimI went to a linux conference here were there was a presentation on how to make your own coffee roaster and regulate the roasting process via linux.20:15
bioterrorhaha20:16
head_victimhttp://blip.tv/linuxconfau/building-a-linux-powered-coffee-roaster-474706320:16
silverarrowthere used to be several, but something happened decades ago, and the small coffee makers went out of buissness20:16
head_victimIt was recorded20:16
head_victimThis guy has FAR too much time on his hands.20:17
silverarrowlol20:17
bioterrorhe doesnt waste that time on irc20:17

PhosphenesHi everyone20:51
stlsaintPhosphenes: sup20:58
irc-neohi to all! i have a problem with reboot, system does not start every time. i even don't see boot screen only black screen. Has anyone the same problem?21:00
PhosphenesI did, I never ended up fixing it. I just reinstalled the OS from scratch21:02
PhosphenesMy step-dad said something about holding shift to bring up the grub loader. try that.21:03
PhosphenesSo, I'm currently on kubuntu with the lxde desktop. Is there any reason I should switch to full blown lubuntu?21:05
PhosphenesIs there a difference or is it just the pre-packaged programs?21:05
phillwPhosphenes: lxdm is not the same as lxde21:08
PhosphenesDoesn't lubuntu use lxde?21:10
phillwyes it does, but lubuntu uses lxde as the Desktop Environment, the Desktop Manager is lxdm21:12
phillwlxdm is not present when you simply put lxde onto a system (there are some other things only lubuntu has as well).21:14
bioterrorphillw, what are you talking about? :D21:15
phillwbioterror: IIR, we had one case where a user did not have the shutdown buttons on pure lxde?21:16
bioterroryeah, that was some debian user on mailing list21:17
PhosphenesSorry, my computer froze. Anyone reply to me?21:18
volkswagnerphillw: are you talking about me?21:18
phillwbioterror: it was kansassnoob, our new iso tester?21:18
leszekhi21:24
stlsaintleszek: yo21:25
PhosphenesHi21:25
stlsaintaw who made the dev leave us!?!!?21:31
phillwbioterror: if you get bored, can you fire the a1 of 11.10 onto my server, had a request the other day for a direct iso link as the torrent was running really slow, thanks.22:07
robinabohello22:10
PhosphenesHi22:11
robinaboI seem to be having a problem22:11
PhosphenesI'm sort of new myself but I can try to help.22:12
robinabonevermind, the problem didn't happen again22:12
Phospheneslol22:12
robinabogee you're good22:12
robinaboso do you know of a way to change the login screen of lubuntu?22:14
robinaboso that instead of asking me for my username, it displays all the usernames like ubuntu does22:15
PhosphenesNo soory22:15
Phosphenessorry*22:15
PhosphenesCheck the forums22:15
robinabowill do22:16
robinaboso do you know when lubuntu will have ubuntu software center installed by default?22:17
robinabocause for now I have to do it manually22:17
PhosphenesDunno, I just started with lubuntu today22:22
phillwrobinabo: USC is too 'big' for lubuntu as it stands, the devs are looking into some sort of minimalist version. In the meantime, synaptic package manager is your friend :)22:22
PhosphenesI always used synaptic when I was on Kubuntu anyways22:22
stlsainti still dont see how USC is functionally better then synaptic??22:23
phillwUSC is 'prettier' :P22:24
stlsaintyea that is truly it22:27
stlsaintheck simply using apt in terminal is more efficient lol22:27
shomonhi, I am trying to switch languages in lubuntu... I just upgraded a 10.10 cd to 11...23:50
shomonhow do you do it in a terminal?23:50
