| Gaming4JC | how do I make a user an admin from lubuntu? | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| Gaming4JC | in standard ubuntu it's just Gnome's Manage Users and Groups | 00:09 |
| Gaming4JC | gnome-system-tools <-- win | 00:13 |
| Gaming4JC | though I still wish I could do it from terminal | 00:14 |
| Gaming4JC | like a geek | 00:14 |
| Gaming4JC | :P | 00:14 |
| Neosano | Phosphenes, killall amarok | 01:16 |
| Neosano | Phosphenes, you can type "Power Management" in kupfer, have you tried kupfer? | 01:16 |
| Neosano | Gaming4JC, ... why? | 01:17 |
| Neosano | Gaming4JC, just.. interesting | 01:17 |
| Gaming4JC | Neosano: I'm trying to make a user an admin because I don't feel like logging into root all the time and I just installed ubuntu-server with lxde | 01:18 |
| Neosano | just sudo -s and whoa? | 01:18 |
| Neosano | and, uh | 01:19 |
| Neosano | you can enable root user and login directly as root | 01:19 |
| Neosano | but still it's not recommended.. is it really that hard to type sudo -s? :D | 01:20 |
| Phosphenes | Neosano: I have not tried kupfer. What is that? | 01:27 |
| Neosano | Phosphenes, it's a spell book | 01:28 |
| Neosano | Phosphenes, well, really, it's an application launcher, but more like a spell book | 01:28 |
| Phosphenes | I see, my parents told me not to mess around with magic though. | 01:29 |
| Neosano | Phosphenes, dunno why power management isn't in the start menu, but in kupfer it pops out | 01:29 |
| Phosphenes | I am getting it now | 01:29 |
| Phosphenes | Neosano: It works, thanks! | 01:33 |
| Neosano | Phosphenes, :) don't forget to mess with kupfer plugins, you might find it useful | 01:34 |
| Phosphenes | Cool. I'll check it out some more. Thanks. | 01:34 |
| Neosano | no problem ;) | 01:35 |

| Dexo | heyi got a question. not lubuntu specific. | 03:29 |
| Dexo | if ubuntu uses Gnome, lubuntu used LXDE, Mint uses KDE. what does Windows use? Explorer? | 03:30 |
| Phosphenes | Windows Explorer I believe, yes | 03:33 |
| Dexo | then what would Luna and Aero be considered? | 03:34 |
| Phosphenes | I think those are just themes for Explorer | 03:34 |
| MK`` | Explorer performs multiple functions that Linux generally separates into different programs | 03:35 |
| Phosphenes | From Wiki: | 03:36 |
| Phosphenes | The most common desktop environment on personal computers is Microsoft Windows' built-in interface. It is titled Luna in Windows XP and Aero in Windows Vista and Windows 7, the latter having a much more improved desktop environment than the former. Also common is Aqua, included with Apple's Mac OS X. | 03:36 |
| Phosphenes | Mainstream desktop environments for Unix-like operating systems using the X Window System include KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and LXDE. | 03:36 |
| MK`` | it's a file manager (like nautilus/thunar), a window manager (like mutter/metacity/kwin/xfwm4), ... | 03:36 |
| MK`` | Probably much more | 03:36 |
| Dexo | yea. unity is nice on gnone 3 in ubuntu but it seem to constricting | 03:36 |
| MK`` | KDE Plasma works on Windows too, to replace explorer | 03:38 |
| Dexo | Really? i didnt know KDE was windows compatibal | 03:38 |
| Dexo | is unity windows compatibal? | 03:38 |
| MK`` | I don't believe so. | 03:39 |
| Dexo | :\ | 03:39 |
| Dexo | do u think its ez to switch between kde and explored in win7 | 03:39 |
| MK`` | I have no idea heh | 03:40 |
| MK`` | I think KDE is the only one working to port all their stuff to Windows | 03:40 |
| MK`` | http://windows.kde.org/ | 03:40 |
| Dexo | yea thats where i am | 03:41 |
| Muhammad-Tahir | hi | 08:42 |

| marcus_ | hi all. is there a way to align desktop icons (e.g. to a grid) in lubuntu | 09:11 |
| KM0201 | hmm, thats a good question... | 10:13 |
| Muhammad-Tahir | hi | 13:54 |
| Muhammad-Tahir | anybody here to help ? | 13:55 |
| pmatulis | !ask | Muhammad-Tahir | 13:57 |
| ubot5 | Muhammad-Tahir: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 13:57 |
| Muhammad-Tahir | i m having trouble with sound | 13:58 |
| Muhammad-Tahir | in the beggining its okay but than it simply goes off | 13:59 |
| Muhammad-Tahir | in the right click menu on Speaker in the tray the " Vlume control Setting is not enabled" i cant clickon it | 14:00 |
| kristian-aalborg | greetings, y'all | 14:01 |
| kristian-aalborg | are the Lubuntu translations the same as in LXDE? | 14:01 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'm thinking of doing a bit (and I mean a bit!) of translations for the .desktop files, but I don't know where I should sign up ;) | 14:01 |
| kristian-aalborg | also, hi phillw etc | 14:13 |
| kristian-aalborg | the Lubuntu install I did for a friend was quite a succes :) | 14:13 |
| chiiiiiz | Hi!!! | 14:37 |
| chiiiiiz | I have installed dropbox on my Lubuntu. Works fine, but when I choose "Open the dropbox folder" it opens it via chromium or Firefox instead of Thunar | 14:38 |
| chiiiiiz | how can I tell him to open the "file://xxxxx" address with Thunar? | 14:38 |
| kristian-aalborg | I joined the LXDE translation team... my stuff should show up here at some point :) | 15:20 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: thanks, I'm sure one of them will be in touch! | 15:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | just did about half an hour of work... but it all helps, I guess | 15:54 |
| kristian-aalborg | how's things in the Lubuntu world? The box I was using it on died... | 15:55 |
| phillw | it is going very well :) | 15:57 |
| phillw | full approval this cycle (barring an unmitigated disaster). | 15:58 |
| head_victim | Just upgraded to natty - Xsession: unable to launch "gnome-session" X session --- "gnome-session" not found; falling back to default session. | 16:29 |
| head_victim | Which is odd, because I've had this before it would seem. Bug 660260 has come back | 16:30 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 660260 in lxdm (Ubuntu) "Xsession unable to boot after fresh install Maverick" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/660260 | 16:30 |
| head_victim | I'll update the bug comments in the morning when I can do the legwork of getting the files, etc. | 16:32 |
| KM0201 | is there a way to set the login wndow to select a username (point/click) rather than type it?... | 17:18 |
| KM0201 | Unit193: ? | 17:18 |
| maraz | now that you mentioned the login window, I find it kind of annoying that pressing tab doesn't switch to the password field | 17:19 |
| KM0201 | well, the problem is.. i'm setting up a PC for 3 people, 2 of which are completely computer retarded. | 17:19 |
| KM0201 | and i know i'll be telling them every day what their user name is. | 17:19 |
| KM0201 | right now, i've got them on Ubuntu, and they simply click on their username, and type their password | 17:20 |
| KM0201 | but their PC isn't gonna hold up to Unity/Gnome 3, so I'm anticipating a change.... | 17:20 |
| KM0201 | i could go to xubuntu, but i really would prefer lubuntu. | 17:22 |
| KM0201 | well that didn't really work out. | 17:27 |

| palhmbs | how do I find the Network Connections GUI in lubuntu? | 21:58 |

| kunguz | can anyone explain me how to connect to wireless network with ubuntu-arm headless image? | 22:20 |
| bioterror | I had problems with my phone :D | 22:22 |
| bioterror | never got that far | 22:22 |
| bioterror | kunguz, probably wpa_suplicant? | 22:35 |
| kunguz | bioterror: there is no wpa_suplicant installed in that image :( | 22:35 |
| bioterror | with iwconfig you can only connect to wep, if I remember right | 22:36 |
| kunguz | bioterror: there is no iwconfig available in that image :( only thing available dhclient and /etc/network/interfaces :( | 22:39 |
| bioterror | is that a phone or laptop? | 22:39 |
| kunguz | bioterror: I really feel stupid because of this unable to connect issue. I spent 4-5 hours just to connect it to wifi | 22:39 |
| kunguz | bioterror: it is a beagleboard | 22:39 |
| bioterror | expensive board | 22:40 |
| pylix | my monitor is displaying lubuntu off i can't see the whole screen and i have to click higher to get buttons to work | 22:40 |
| pylix | the video options aren't helping is the a more advanced video setting? | 22:40 |
| kunguz | bioterror: yes, it is. And making me feel terrible at the moment. | 22:40 |
| bioterror | for that money you get easily decent atom ;) | 22:40 |
| kunguz | bioterror: :( | 22:41 |
| bioterror | kunguz, it doesnt have ethernet? | 22:42 |
| kunguz | bioterror: unfortunately, it doesn't have one. | 22:42 |
| bioterror | wtf :D | 22:42 |
| bioterror | how are you supposed to connect anywhere with it :D | 22:42 |
| kunguz | bioterror: only with a wifi usb dongle attached to it. | 22:43 |
| bioterror | ahhh, USB WiFi dongle | 22:43 |
| kunguz | bioterror: and that's where the problem begins | 22:43 |
| kunguz | bioterror: I couldn't figure how to connect to the internet via that way. | 22:44 |
| bioterror | does that usb dongle work? | 22:44 |
| bioterror | the OS can see it? | 22:44 |
| kunguz | bioterror: yes, it does | 22:44 |
| bioterror | if you say "ifconfig" you get wlan0? | 22:44 |
| kunguz | bioterror: I can see it as wlan0 | 22:44 |
| bioterror | do you have something like wicd-curses installed? | 22:45 |
| kunguz | bioterror: unfortunately, I do not. | 22:45 |
| kunguz | bioterror: that would be awesome to have it installed on it. | 22:45 |
| bioterror | yeah, it would | 22:45 |
| bioterror | technically... | 22:45 |
| bioterror | :D | 22:45 |
| kunguz | bioterror: and I am really stuck on how to make it connect to the internet | 22:46 |
| bioterror | you gotta go derper! | 22:46 |
| kunguz | bioterror: derper?!? sorry English is not my native language, what is that suppose to mean? | 22:46 |
| bioterror | have you ever chrooted? | 22:46 |
| kunguz | bioterror: nope | 22:46 |
| bioterror | now you can :D | 22:46 |
| bioterror | first you install some ARM stuff on your computer | 22:46 |
| kunguz | bioterror: so how do I exactly? | 22:46 |
| bioterror | you chroot into that, and from that ARM chroot you chroot into your that installation | 22:47 |
| bioterror | and you install stuff :D | 22:47 |
| kunguz | bioterror: that seems pretty compilicated | 22:47 |
| bioterror | yeah, it's like inception ;) | 22:48 |
| kunguz | bioterror: better watch the movie :D at least it is entertaining :D | 22:48 |
| bioterror | that's how I rooted my ARM | 22:48 |
| bioterror | I've played with arm linux on my phone | 22:48 |
| kunguz | bioterror: I am really shocked, there is nothing installed on this headless version. | 22:48 |
| bioterror | yeah, sounds stupid | 22:49 |
| kunguz | bioterror: how do one actually connect to internet with it? I am really wondering. | 22:49 |
| kunguz | bioterror: and which phone are you using? | 22:49 |
| bioterror | kunguz, SE Xperia X1 | 22:49 |
| kunguz | bioterror: I see, without chrooting is there any other way? Because I do not want to spend infinite time on just to connect to internet. | 22:50 |
| bioterror | try to find better distro for that device | 22:50 |
| bioterror | something that comes with proper network tools | 22:50 |
| kunguz | bioterror: this I will do for sure, but I need something with LXDE desktop, do you know any stable one? | 22:51 |
| bioterror | kunguz, take pre-installed image? | 22:58 |
| kunguz | bioterror: yes, the one I used is a pre-installed image | 22:58 |
| kunguz | bioterror: http://sudrap.org/paste/text/14777/ | 23:13 |
| kunguz | that's how it behave :( | 23:14 |
