[01:01] Is there a trash bin for Lubuntu or is everything just straight up deleted? [01:01] Phosphenes: if you choose to move to trash, it will go there. [01:04] "Do you want to move selected files to rubbish bin" [01:04] I just want to know where the rubbish bin is to delete stuff [01:05] it is in pcmanfm, lauch it and you will see the trash-bin listed [01:06] you can then see what is in it and choose to permentaly delete [01:06] if you just want to delete, use the terminal :P [01:07] How do I delete through the terminal? [01:07] Sudo delete? [01:07] but there is no 2nd chance if you issue rm it is gone forever. [01:07] ok [01:07] thanks [01:08] 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] haha, ok thanks [01:12] Phosphenes: have a good read of http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?f=326 to understand more about the mis-use of sudo === phillw-virtual is now known as Guest95079 [03:43] 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] yeah, I was able to figure it out. [03:48] Anyone know how I can give the desktops different background pictures? === phillw-virtual is now known as Guest28377 === phillw-virtual is now known as Guest67261 [15:25] 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] Anyone?? Anyone?? Buehler?? Buehler?? [15:27] hi [15:28] Hi, Leszek... any idea how to create a desktop shortcut in 11.04? [15:29] johna it works the same way as on 10.10 [15:30] 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] That doesn't work here... I don't get "launcher" as an option. :( [15:30] 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] johna, fedora & lxde has this build in ? Or are you talking about nautilus gnome ? [15:33] 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] Ok... that's not going to work, as tn5250 (AS/400 terminal) doesn't appear to have a .desktop file. *sigh* [15:34] johna wait what are you running lxde or gnome ? [15:34] phillw I did not find the iso you need , sorry [15:34] lxde... the default in LUBUNTU. [15:35] johna and fedora provide a create launcher item in the right click menu on the desktop in LXDE ? [15:36] Let me double-check... I have a VNC session to my linux box at home. [15:36] Sorry, it says "create launcher" when I right-click on a bare spot on the Desktop. [15:37] interesting. Maybe we need to grab that patch for pcmanfm aswell [15:37] and integrate it into pcmanfm [15:39] 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] Also, keep in mind that Fedora doesn't use pcmanfm as the default file manager. My file manager at home is "thunar" [15:47] If one wishes to remove the splash screen completely (not the GDM), is removing "quiet splash" from /etc/default/grub? [15:49] jgratero if you only want to remove the splash screen remove only the splash in /etc/default/grub [15:50] if you want a more verbose boot output than remove the quiet aswell [15:50] thanks leszek! [16:09] bodhi_zazen: no worries, bioteror got it uploaded last night :) thanks for checking. [16:26] hi [16:26] is there a way to format a new sata hard drive? [16:27] It is USB connected, and all new [16:28] it seems to spin all right when connected [16:28] so, anyone alive? [16:28] silverarrow: I use gparted :) [16:28] I see [16:28] it lets you slice the little critter up ready for use :) [16:28] I'm wondering if I shall have linux or xp on it [16:29] lol [16:29] yeah, maybe [16:29] if you use gparted, you can have both :) [16:29] and no trouble with boot up? [16:29] I can choose boot up from USB, cd or internal hard drive. [16:30] 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] but if there's two options on a usb connected hard drive? [16:31] 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] I cannot find g parted in lubuntu? I have to find it it package manager? [17:55] oh, what if your that guy? [17:55] you just can't do anything about it [17:56] ;- ) [17:56] nothing to do but accept it [17:56] he's not that guy who is cool and awesome ;) [19:17] 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] dont press that hibernate button? [19:20] bioterror: that's same answer that i gave myself... [19:21] i was just curious about this. [19:27] I ordered a "new" laptop from work. I think I'll install 11.10 alpha2 on it when it comes ;) [19:29] one more question, where can I enable xorg's composite extension? i guess not /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [19:29] you mean compiz? [19:30] that's asked so much that I'm going to make faq about it [19:30] no, not compiz. just composite (for terminal transparency, only). [19:32] i have lubuntu installed mainly for getting away of things like compiz. [19:38] Any easy-to-use hotkey binding software?? Anyone? [19:39] eb3ha4el, nano [19:39] or leafpad :D [19:39] eb3ha4el, what you want to bind? [19:39] bioterror: leafpad? isn't it ext editor? [19:39] biotorrent: you know things like... volume controling [19:39] that's done by default [19:40] bioterror: I think he wants to edit his lubuntu-rc with a GUI [19:40] bioterror: you know what the key is for that? [19:40] Unit193, leafpad has GUI ;) [19:40] eb3ha4el, are you using laptop or desktop? [19:40] bioterror: Netbook [19:40] eb3ha4el, you should have these fn+some buttons [19:40] mine works out of box [19:41] bioterror: Those doesn't work. It just has mute/unmute, but even that is not working.. [19:41] hmmm [19:41] are you having samsung netbook? [19:42] lt's toshiba NB200 [19:46] hmmm [19:48] people have had lots of sounds problems with those [19:55] eb3ha4el, I cant find nothing recent information about volume buttons on NB200 [19:57] 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] hmm [19:57] biotterror: would you say installing/removing software frequently would make linux slower like windows? [19:57] eb3ha4el, nope [19:58] my netbook is bloody slow so I'm really striving to make it light-weighted [19:58] you just get some random un-needed files in your filesystem [19:58] right [19:58] remember to use apt-get purge, when removing software [19:58] purge? you mean apt-get remove? [19:59] remove --purge [19:59] or just apt-get purge [20:01] alright [20:02] ofcourse system might get slow when it starts to use swap instead of RAM [20:04] bioterror: why are you saying suddenly about swap? is there any relationship between installing/removing software and swap? [20:05] no [20:06] bioterror: oh you mean system performance, right.. [20:06] yes [20:06] bioterror: but what's difference between purge and remove? [20:06] bioterror: I always used apt-get remove [20:06] purge removes configs [20:07] bioterror: specific-configs? should I use like apt-get purge , or apt-get purge xChat? [20:07] sudo apt-get purge foooo [20:07] right [20:07] so purge includes remove then? [20:07] remove + removing configs? [20:07] it's same as: sudo apt-get remove --purge foobar [20:08] I understand [20:08] thanks [20:09] 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] hi all [20:16] hi [20:18] am I in the right place to ask about sound issues I'm having? [20:27] rolnics, what kind of sound issue? [20:28] 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] 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] john_rambo, sounds more like power savings [20:34] oh well [20:34] rolnics, PCM is 100%? [20:37] no it wasn't it was about 80, do you believe it....i've got sound through aqualung, just trying chrome [20:39] if aqualung works, then problem is some where else [20:41] just installed flash and its working in chrome ok now [20:42] 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] there would be no problems with pulseaudio, I think [20:43] as it can handle multiple devices a little better than just alsa [20:45] hmmm, strange as I've pretty much down the same as before with the searches I've down?! [20:45] perhaps I missed something.....? [20:52] thanks bioterror i'm going to reboot and see if everythings still ok
