| Phosphenes | Is there a trash bin for Lubuntu or is everything just straight up deleted? | 01:01 |
|---|---|---|
| phillw | Phosphenes: if you choose to move to trash, it will go there. | 01:01 |
| phillw | "Do you want to move selected files to rubbish bin" | 01:04 |
| Phosphenes | I just want to know where the rubbish bin is to delete stuff | 01:04 |
| phillw | it is in pcmanfm, lauch it and you will see the trash-bin listed | 01:05 |
| phillw | you can then see what is in it and choose to permentaly delete | 01:06 |
| phillw | if you just want to delete, use the terminal :P | 01:06 |
| Phosphenes | How do I delete through the terminal? | 01:07 |
| Phosphenes | Sudo delete? | 01:07 |
| phillw | but there is no 2nd chance if you issue rm <filename> it is gone forever. | 01:07 |
| Phosphenes | ok | 01:07 |
| Phosphenes | thanks | 01:07 |
| phillw | Phosphenes: please, please do not go around your system with sudo - the Linux system tries to protect you, using sudo means it just goes "ah, well - you mess it up, do not come back complaining" | 01:08 |
| Phosphenes | haha, ok thanks | 01:09 |
| phillw | Phosphenes: have a good read of http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?f=326 to understand more about the mis-use of sudo | 01:12 |

| mstr-wilkins | hello, can anybody point me to the sound preferences in lubuntu. I've come from Ubuntu and am used to right clicking the sound icon in the panel. I need to direct skype to my usb mic. | 03:43 |
| mstr-wilkins | yeah, I was able to figure it out. | 03:45 |
| Phosphenes | Anyone know how I can give the desktops different background pictures? | 03:48 |

| johna | Hi, I have Lubuntu 11.04 installed and I'm trying to figure out how to create a "launcher" on the desktop to an app. This machine is going to be a terminal for an AS/400 and the users are not very computer-literate so they need a one-button launcher for the terminal app. :D | 15:25 |
| johna | Anyone?? Anyone?? Buehler?? Buehler?? | 15:27 |
| leszek | hi | 15:27 |
| johna | Hi, Leszek... any idea how to create a desktop shortcut in 11.04? | 15:28 |
| leszek | johna it works the same way as on 10.10 | 15:29 |
| johna | Umm...that really doesn't help me much. :D I'm used to the Fedora way of doing things... i.e. you right-click and select "new ->Launcher" | 15:30 |
| johna | That doesn't work here... I don't get "launcher" as an option. :( | 15:30 |
| leszek | you can go to /usr/share/applications and create a link to your favorite app on the desktop by dragging the *.desktop file over to the desktop with right mousebutton and click on create link in the popup menu | 15:30 |
| leszek | johna, fedora & lxde has this build in ? Or are you talking about nautilus gnome ? | 15:31 |
| johna | Leszek... my Fedora 15 allows me to right-click and select "new" then "launcher" and go from there. That's not an option in Ubuntu 11.04. I'll try the /usr/share/applications. Thanks | 15:33 |
| johna | Ok... that's not going to work, as tn5250 (AS/400 terminal) doesn't appear to have a .desktop file. *sigh* | 15:33 |
| leszek | johna wait what are you running lxde or gnome ? | 15:34 |
| bodhi_zazen | phillw I did not find the iso you need , sorry | 15:34 |
| johna | lxde... the default in LUBUNTU. | 15:34 |
| leszek | johna and fedora provide a create launcher item in the right click menu on the desktop in LXDE ? | 15:35 |
| johna | Let me double-check... I have a VNC session to my linux box at home. | 15:36 |
| johna | Sorry, it says "create launcher" when I right-click on a bare spot on the Desktop. | 15:36 |
| leszek | interesting. Maybe we need to grab that patch for pcmanfm aswell | 15:37 |
| leszek | and integrate it into pcmanfm | 15:37 |
| johna | Could be... I asked on a local geek mailing list and they suggested I create a .desktop file and included a generic template. I'll just create that and it should fix it, I hope. If not, I'll be back. :D | 15:39 |
| johna | Also, keep in mind that Fedora doesn't use pcmanfm as the default file manager. My file manager at home is "thunar" | 15:40 |
| jgratero | If one wishes to remove the splash screen completely (not the GDM), is removing "quiet splash" from /etc/default/grub? | 15:47 |
| leszek | jgratero if you only want to remove the splash screen remove only the splash in /etc/default/grub | 15:49 |
| leszek | if you want a more verbose boot output than remove the quiet aswell | 15:50 |
| jgratero | thanks leszek! | 15:50 |
| phillw | bodhi_zazen: no worries, bioteror got it uploaded last night :) thanks for checking. | 16:09 |
| silverarrow | hi | 16:26 |
| silverarrow | is there a way to format a new sata hard drive? | 16:26 |
| silverarrow | It is USB connected, and all new | 16:27 |
| silverarrow | it seems to spin all right when connected | 16:28 |
| silverarrow | so, anyone alive? | 16:28 |
| phillw-virtual | silverarrow: I use gparted :) | 16:28 |
| silverarrow | I see | 16:28 |
| phillw-virtual | it lets you slice the little critter up ready for use :) | 16:28 |
| silverarrow | I'm wondering if I shall have linux or xp on it | 16:28 |
| silverarrow | lol | 16:29 |
| silverarrow | yeah, maybe | 16:29 |
| phillw-virtual | if you use gparted, you can have both :) | 16:29 |
| silverarrow | and no trouble with boot up? | 16:29 |
| silverarrow | I can choose boot up from USB, cd or internal hard drive. | 16:29 |
| phillw-virtual | nope, it always easiest to install linux AFTER win, but it is no big deal if you do it the other way round. | 16:30 |
| silverarrow | but if there's two options on a usb connected hard drive? | 16:30 |
| phillw-virtual | I've found that sometimes there are a couple of options for usb booting on some BIOS's - it is a case of trial and error :P | 16:31 |
| silverarrow | I cannot find g parted in lubuntu? I have to find it it package manager? | 16:31 |
| silverarrow | oh, what if your that guy? | 17:55 |
| silverarrow | you just can't do anything about it | 17:55 |
| silverarrow | ;- ) | 17:56 |
| silverarrow | nothing to do but accept it | 17:56 |
| bioterror | he's not that guy who is cool and awesome ;) | 17:56 |
| tomekh | hi. is there a way to disable hibernate in lubuntu? tried to edit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy but I still have "Hibernate" option in logout-window | 19:17 |
| bioterror | dont press that hibernate button? | 19:18 |
| tomekh | bioterror: that's same answer that i gave myself... | 19:20 |
| tomekh | i was just curious about this. | 19:21 |
| bioterror | I ordered a "new" laptop from work. I think I'll install 11.10 alpha2 on it when it comes ;) | 19:27 |
| tomekh | one more question, where can I enable xorg's composite extension? i guess not /etc/X11/xorg.conf. | 19:29 |
| bioterror | you mean compiz? | 19:29 |
| bioterror | that's asked so much that I'm going to make faq about it | 19:30 |
| tomekh | no, not compiz. just composite (for terminal transparency, only). | 19:30 |
| tomekh | i have lubuntu installed mainly for getting away of things like compiz. | 19:32 |
| eb3ha4el | Any easy-to-use hotkey binding software?? Anyone? | 19:38 |
| bioterror | eb3ha4el, nano | 19:39 |
| bioterror | or leafpad :D | 19:39 |
| bioterror | eb3ha4el, what you want to bind? | 19:39 |
| eb3ha4el | bioterror: leafpad? isn't it ext editor? | 19:39 |
| eb3ha4el | biotorrent: you know things like... volume controling | 19:39 |
| bioterror | that's done by default | 19:39 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: I think he wants to edit his lubuntu-rc with a GUI | 19:40 |
| eb3ha4el | bioterror: you know what the key is for that? | 19:40 |
| bioterror | Unit193, leafpad has GUI ;) | 19:40 |
| bioterror | eb3ha4el, are you using laptop or desktop? | 19:40 |
| eb3ha4el | bioterror: Netbook | 19:40 |
| bioterror | eb3ha4el, you should have these fn+some buttons | 19:40 |
| bioterror | mine works out of box | 19:40 |
| eb3ha4el | bioterror: Those doesn't work. It just has mute/unmute, but even that is not working.. | 19:41 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 19:41 |
| bioterror | are you having samsung netbook? | 19:41 |
| eb3ha4el | lt's toshiba NB200 | 19:42 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 19:46 |
| bioterror | people have had lots of sounds problems with those | 19:48 |
| bioterror | eb3ha4el, I cant find nothing recent information about volume buttons on NB200 | 19:55 |
| eb3ha4el | bioterror: were you looking for it? thanks for your help... well it's okay I might get gnome volume controller or i can use it without any | 19:57 |
| bioterror | hmm | 19:57 |
| eb3ha4el | biotterror: would you say installing/removing software frequently would make linux slower like windows? | 19:57 |
| bioterror | eb3ha4el, nope | 19:57 |
| eb3ha4el | my netbook is bloody slow so I'm really striving to make it light-weighted | 19:58 |
| bioterror | you just get some random un-needed files in your filesystem | 19:58 |
| eb3ha4el | right | 19:58 |
| bioterror | remember to use apt-get purge, when removing software | 19:58 |
| eb3ha4el | purge? you mean apt-get remove? | 19:58 |
| bioterror | remove --purge | 19:59 |
| bioterror | or just apt-get purge | 19:59 |
| eb3ha4el | alright | 20:01 |
| bioterror | ofcourse system might get slow when it starts to use swap instead of RAM | 20:02 |
| eb3ha4el | bioterror: why are you saying suddenly about swap? is there any relationship between installing/removing software and swap? | 20:04 |
| bioterror | no | 20:05 |
| eb3ha4el | bioterror: oh you mean system performance, right.. | 20:06 |
| bioterror | yes | 20:06 |
| eb3ha4el | bioterror: but what's difference between purge and remove? | 20:06 |
| eb3ha4el | bioterror: I always used apt-get remove | 20:06 |
| bioterror | purge removes configs | 20:06 |
| eb3ha4el | bioterror: specific-configs? should I use like apt-get purge , or apt-get purge xChat? | 20:07 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get purge foooo | 20:07 |
| eb3ha4el | right | 20:07 |
| eb3ha4el | so purge includes remove then? | 20:07 |
| eb3ha4el | remove + removing configs? | 20:07 |
| bioterror | it's same as: sudo apt-get remove --purge foobar | 20:07 |
| eb3ha4el | I understand | 20:08 |
| eb3ha4el | thanks | 20:08 |
| bioterror | you could use keylogger or something to look what kind of commands comes when you press that volume up/down from your keyboard | 20:09 |
| rolnics | hi all | 20:15 |
| bioterror | hi | 20:16 |
| rolnics | am I in the right place to ask about sound issues I'm having? | 20:18 |
| bioterror | rolnics, what kind of sound issue? | 20:27 |
| rolnics | simply no sound.....i'm searching on google as well. i've got the mixer up and it doesn't seem to be muted | 20:28 |
| john_rambo | While watching Videos in VLC the screen becomes black & comes back when I move the mouse ....Cant find a way to disable the screensaver | 20:30 |
| bioterror | john_rambo, sounds more like power savings | 20:34 |
| bioterror | oh well | 20:34 |
| bioterror | rolnics, PCM is 100%? | 20:34 |
| rolnics | no it wasn't it was about 80, do you believe it....i've got sound through aqualung, just trying chrome | 20:37 |
| bioterror | if aqualung works, then problem is some where else | 20:39 |
| rolnics | just installed flash and its working in chrome ok now | 20:41 |
| rolnics | i did disable my other sound on my motherboard perhaps that was causing the problems, this is the first boot since doing that | 20:42 |
| bioterror | there would be no problems with pulseaudio, I think | 20:43 |
| bioterror | as it can handle multiple devices a little better than just alsa | 20:43 |
| rolnics | hmmm, strange as I've pretty much down the same as before with the searches I've down?! | 20:45 |
| rolnics | perhaps I missed something.....? | 20:45 |
| rolnics | thanks bioterror i'm going to reboot and see if everythings still ok | 20:52 |
