[01:01] <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.
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <phillw> it is in pcmanfm, lauch it and you will see the trash-bin listed
[01:06] <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
[01:07] <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
[01:08] <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"
[01:09] <Phosphenes> haha, ok thanks
[01:12] <phillw> Phosphenes: have a good read of http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?f=326 to understand more about the mis-use of sudo
[03:43] <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.
[03:45] <mstr-wilkins> yeah, I was able to figure it out.
[03:48] <Phosphenes> Anyone know how I can give the desktops different background pictures?
[15:25] <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
[15:27] <johna> Anyone?? Anyone?? Buehler?? Buehler??
[15:27] <leszek> hi
[15:28] <johna> Hi, Leszek... any idea how to create a desktop shortcut in 11.04?
[15:29] <leszek> johna it works the same way as on 10.10
[15:30] <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
[15:31] <leszek> johna, fedora & lxde has this build in ? Or are you talking about nautilus gnome ?
[15:33] <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*
[15:34] <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.
[15:35] <leszek> johna and fedora provide a create launcher item in the right click menu on the desktop in LXDE ?
[15:36] <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.
[15:37] <leszek> interesting. Maybe we need to grab that patch for pcmanfm aswell
[15:37] <leszek> and integrate it into pcmanfm
[15:39] <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
[15:40] <johna> Also, keep in mind that Fedora doesn't use pcmanfm as the default file manager. My file manager at home is "thunar"
[15:47] <jgratero> If one wishes to remove the splash screen completely (not the GDM), is removing "quiet splash" from /etc/default/grub?
[15:49] <leszek> jgratero if you only want to remove the splash screen remove only the splash in /etc/default/grub
[15:50] <leszek> if you want a more verbose boot output than remove the quiet aswell
[15:50] <jgratero> thanks leszek!
[16:09] <phillw> bodhi_zazen: no worries, bioteror got it uploaded last night :) thanks for checking.
[16:26] <silverarrow> hi
[16:26] <silverarrow> is there a way to format a new sata hard drive?
[16:27] <silverarrow> It is USB connected, and all new
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <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.
[16:30] <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?
[16:31] <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?
[17:55] <silverarrow> oh, what if your that guy?
[17:55] <silverarrow> you just can't do anything about it
[17:56] <silverarrow> ;- )
[17:56] <silverarrow> nothing to do but accept it
[17:56] <bioterror> he's not that guy who is cool and awesome ;)
[19:17] <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
[19:18] <bioterror> dont press that hibernate button?
[19:20] <tomekh> bioterror: that's same answer that i gave myself...
[19:21] <tomekh> i was just curious about this.
[19:27] <bioterror> I ordered a "new" laptop from work. I think I'll install 11.10 alpha2 on it when it comes ;)
[19:29] <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?
[19:30] <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).
[19:32] <tomekh> i have lubuntu installed mainly for getting away of things like compiz.
[19:38] <eb3ha4el> Any easy-to-use hotkey binding software?? Anyone?
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <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
[19:41] <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?
[19:42] <eb3ha4el> lt's toshiba NB200
[19:46] <bioterror> hmmm
[19:48] <bioterror> people have had lots of sounds problems with those
[19:55] <bioterror> eb3ha4el, I cant find nothing recent information about volume buttons on NB200
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <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?
[19:59] <bioterror> remove --purge
[19:59] <bioterror> or just apt-get purge
[20:01] <eb3ha4el> alright
[20:02] <bioterror> ofcourse system might get slow when it starts to use swap instead of RAM
[20:04] <eb3ha4el> bioterror: why are you saying suddenly about swap? is there any relationship between installing/removing software and swap?
[20:05] <bioterror> no
[20:06] <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
[20:07] <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
[20:08] <eb3ha4el> I understand
[20:08] <eb3ha4el> thanks
[20:09] <bioterror> you could use keylogger or something to look what kind of commands comes when you press that volume up/down from your keyboard
[20:15] <rolnics> hi all
[20:16] <bioterror> hi
[20:18] <rolnics> am I in the right place to ask about sound issues I'm having?
[20:27] <bioterror> rolnics, what kind of sound issue?
[20:28] <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
[20:30] <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
[20:34] <bioterror> john_rambo, sounds more like power savings
[20:34] <bioterror> oh well
[20:34] <bioterror> rolnics, PCM is 100%?
[20:37] <rolnics> no it wasn't it was about 80, do you believe it....i've got sound through aqualung, just trying chrome
[20:39] <bioterror> if aqualung works, then problem is some where else
[20:41] <rolnics> just installed flash and its working in chrome ok now
[20:42] <rolnics> i did disable my other sound on my motherboard perhaps that was causing the problems, this is the first boot since doing that
[20:43] <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
[20:45] <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.....?
[20:52] <rolnics> thanks bioterror i'm going to reboot and see if everythings still ok
