[00:08] <Gaming4JC> how do I make a user an admin from lubuntu?
[00:09] <Gaming4JC> in standard ubuntu it's just Gnome's Manage Users and Groups
[00:13] <Gaming4JC> gnome-system-tools <-- win
[00:14] <Gaming4JC> though I still wish I could do it from terminal
[00:14] <Gaming4JC> like a geek
[00:14] <Gaming4JC> :P
[01:16] <Neosano> Phosphenes, killall amarok
[01:16] <Neosano> Phosphenes, you can type "Power Management" in kupfer, have you tried kupfer?
[01:17] <Neosano> Gaming4JC, ... why?
[01:17] <Neosano> Gaming4JC, just.. interesting
[01:18] <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?
[01:19] <Neosano> and, uh
[01:19] <Neosano> you can enable root user and login directly as root
[01:20] <Neosano> but still it's not recommended.. is it really that hard to type sudo -s? :D
[01:27] <Phosphenes> Neosano: I have not tried kupfer. What is that?
[01:28] <Neosano> Phosphenes, it's a spell book
[01:28] <Neosano> Phosphenes, well, really, it's an application launcher, but more like a spell book
[01:29] <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
[01:33] <Phosphenes> Neosano: It works, thanks!
[01:34] <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.
[01:35] <Neosano> no problem ;)
[03:29] <Dexo> heyi got a question. not lubuntu specific.
[03:30] <Dexo> if ubuntu uses Gnome, lubuntu used LXDE, Mint uses KDE. what does Windows use? Explorer?
[03:33] <Phosphenes> Windows Explorer I believe, yes
[03:34] <Dexo> then what would Luna and Aero be considered?
[03:34] <Phosphenes> I think those are just themes for Explorer
[03:35] <MK``> Explorer performs multiple functions that Linux generally separates into different programs
[03:36] <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
[03:38] <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?
[03:39] <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
[03:40] <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/
[03:41] <Dexo> yea thats where i am
[08:42] <Muhammad-Tahir> hi
[08:43] <Muhammad-Tahir> i hv problem
[09:11] <marcus_> hi all. is there a way to align desktop icons (e.g. to a grid) in lubuntu
[10:13] <KM0201> hmm, thats a good question...
[13:54] <Muhammad-Tahir> hi
[13:55] <Muhammad-Tahir> anybody here to help ?
[13:57] <pmatulis> !ask | Muhammad-Tahir
[13:58] <Muhammad-Tahir> i m having trouble with sound
[13:59] <Muhammad-Tahir> in the beggining its okay but than it simply goes off
[14:00] <Muhammad-Tahir> in the right click menu on Speaker in the tray the " Vlume control Setting is not enabled" i cant  clickon it
[14:01] <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 ;)
[14:13] <kristian-aalborg> also, hi phillw etc
[14:13] <kristian-aalborg> the Lubuntu install I did for a friend was quite a succes :)
[14:37] <chiiiiiz> Hi!!!
[14:38] <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?
[15:20] <kristian-aalborg> I joined the LXDE translation team... my stuff should show up here at some point :)
[15:52] <phillw> kristian-aalborg: thanks, I'm sure one of them will be in touch!
[15:54] <kristian-aalborg> just did about half an hour of work... but it all helps, I guess
[15:55] <kristian-aalborg> how's things in the Lubuntu world? The box I was using it on died...
[15:57] <phillw> it is going very well :)
[15:58] <phillw> full approval this cycle (barring an unmitigated disaster).
[16:29] <head_victim> Just upgraded to natty - Xsession: unable to launch "gnome-session" X session --- "gnome-session" not found; falling back to default session.
[16:30] <head_victim> Which is odd, because I've had this before it would seem. Bug 660260 has come back
[16:32] <head_victim> I'll update the bug comments in the morning when I can do the legwork of getting the files, etc.
[17:18] <KM0201> is there a way to set the login wndow to select a username (point/click) rather than type it?...
[17:18] <KM0201> Unit193: ?
[17:19] <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.
[17:20] <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....
[17:22] <KM0201> i could go to xubuntu, but i really would prefer lubuntu.
[17:27] <KM0201> well that didn't really work out.
[21:58] <palhmbs> how do I find the Network Connections GUI in lubuntu?
[22:19] <KM0201> palhmbs: it should be in the panel
[22:20] <kunguz> can anyone explain me how to connect to wireless network with ubuntu-arm headless image?
[22:22] <bioterror> I had problems with my phone :D
[22:22] <bioterror> never got that far
[22:35] <bioterror> kunguz, probably wpa_suplicant?
[22:35] <kunguz> bioterror: there is no wpa_suplicant installed in that image :(
[22:36] <bioterror> with iwconfig you can only connect to wep, if I remember right
[22:39] <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
[22:40] <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 ;)
[22:41] <kunguz> bioterror: :(
[22:42] <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
[22:43] <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
[22:44] <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
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <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?
[22:47] <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
[22:48] <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.
[22:49] <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
[22:50] <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
[22:51] <kunguz> bioterror: this I will do for sure, but I need something with LXDE desktop, do you know any stable one?
[22:58] <bioterror> kunguz, take pre-installed image?
[22:58] <kunguz> bioterror: yes, the one I used is a pre-installed image
[23:13] <kunguz> bioterror: http://sudrap.org/paste/text/14777/
[23:14] <kunguz> that's how it behave :(
