| john_rambo | Hi, I am using Lubuntu 11.04 , not only flash but PC sometimes hang even on window minimize/maximize ...This is happening everyday ...How to proceed ? | 05:26 |
|---|---|---|
| phillw | AmberJ: I vaguely recall a ping from you. did it get sorted or do you still need me? | 17:45 |
| toman | hello there, im new to lxde and i need help with adjusting my keyboard layout. I want to be able to switch between US and Bulgarian traditional phonetic. I know i should type something like: setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,bg | 17:52 |
| toman | but the "bg" is not the traditional phonetic and i do not know how to make it use it :( | 17:52 |
| toman | can anyone help me ? | 17:52 |
| phillw | Gee, why not hang around whil I dig the info up :P | 18:01 |
| phillw | If re-appears, please send toman to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455877 | 18:02 |
| AmberJ | hey phillw, sorry I was away on phone... | 19:21 |
| phillw | AmberJ: no drama, even very late, I do reply to a ping :) | 19:22 |
| AmberJ | Anyways, I guess toman about knew about the command needed to switch between layouts but he was unable to use bulgarian keyboard or something like that... | 19:22 |
| AmberJ | phillw, Well, that's the best (and quality) volunteer help and support that one expect for lxde :) | 19:22 |
| AmberJ | My problem is still unresolved though. If you remember, openoffice's individual apps didnt appeared in my lxde menu...And, when I click libreoffice entry, all apps in it's menu are disabled :( | 19:24 |
| AmberJ | phillw, ping ;) | 19:28 |
| phillw | we do not really support OpenOfice, as Libre is its replacement. As niether are used in lubuntu, you may get far better support on #ubuntu-beginners, just do let them know that you are running lubuntu and it is not a part of it, so you will need a little more help[. | 19:33 |
| AmberJ | phillw, naah, I'm not using openoffice...I mistakenly typed libreoffice in place of ooo.org | 19:35 |
| phillw | you can manually add them, but I do also think they should be there for you. I'd suggest asking on the mailing list, as I'm not sure what 'bug' it would be. | 19:37 |
| pmatulis | when will images be available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ ? | 19:45 |
| phillw | pmatulis: once the build goes using the canonical system, we are hopeful that a2 will do so, but certainly by the beta stage. | 19:47 |
| pmatulis | phillw: thank you | 19:47 |
| linuxman410 | has ubuntu accepted lubuntu into their circle | 19:48 |
| pmatulis | linuxman410: that's what happened at UDS. also see the lubuntu home page | 19:49 |
| linuxman410 | cool | 19:54 |
| AmberJ | Stupid connection. | 20:11 |
| zkriesse | AmberJ: Hi :) | 20:11 |
| AmberJ | phillw, Did you suggested anything while I got disconnected? | 20:11 |
| AmberJ | The last msg in my client is: "AmberJ: thought I'll also drop a mail to mailing list to see if they find this a bug..." | 20:11 |
| AmberJ | hey zkriesse...What's up? | 20:14 |
| zkriesse | Nothing much you? | 20:15 |
| linuxman410 | i am running lubuntu on my old dell inspiron 6000 with duct tape holding it together | 20:22 |
| AmberJ | Superstupid connection :( | 20:28 |
| zkriesse | Haha | 20:29 |
| zkriesse | Sorry it's not funny but it kinda is at the same time | 20:29 |
| === chris_ is now known as digitalcrow | ||
| digitalcrow | Lubuntu Rocks ! | 20:30 |
| digitalcrow | I've tested ubuntu 11.4 and it sucked ! => frozen applications , slow , bloated | 20:31 |
| AmberJ | zkriesse, I dont blame you... I would have laughed myself in case it happened with someone else ;) | 20:32 |
| zkriesse | hehe | 20:32 |
| linuxman410 | lubuntu is in a class by itself | 20:33 |
| zkriesse | welll nice digitalcrow glad you're hapy | 20:33 |
| digitalcrow | i'm very happy | 20:35 |
| digitalcrow | i'm installing 1.010 packages now 4.9gbytes and it will finish in a 5 mins max | 20:36 |
| digitalcrow | hope everything will go ok after then | 20:36 |
| digitalcrow | Lubuntu is speed! | 20:36 |
| digitalcrow | I had a problem with flash thought | 20:37 |
| digitalcrow | but i installed flash replacer and now works ok | 20:38 |
| digitalcrow | (firefox plugin) | 20:38 |
| * phillw waves to zkriesse I hope you are fine :) | 20:39 | |
| zkriesse | i'm decent | 20:39 |
| zkriesse | brb | 20:39 |
| phillw | good to hear, I'm mad busy with 3 teams, but we are getting there :) | 20:40 |
| _schulte_ | would you recommend lubuntu as a good base system above which to install xmonad? | 22:02 |
| head_victim | Depends on your goals really, can't see why it wouldn't work ok | 22:04 |
| _schulte_ | I used to run above xubuntu, I've since stripped out all of XFCE, but I'm running into problems where pieces of my install appear to rely on missing pieces of XFCE, looking for a modular base system which I can pick and choose which components to keep | 22:04 |
| _schulte_ | maybe just building up from a server install would be preferrable? | 22:04 |
| trakinas | hello all. | 22:05 |
| head_victim | _schulte_: maybe start with a mini install? | 22:05 |
| head_victim | trakinas: gday | 22:05 |
| trakinas | I've jun successfully ran Lubuntu over my pendrive on a Asus eeePC Surf 4G | 22:06 |
| trakinas | I had only one problem: some windows does not fit the 800x468 screen. | 22:06 |
| trakinas | for example: I cant see the bottom of openbox configuration screen | 22:07 |
| head_victim | trakinas: if you press and hold the alt key and then click on the window you can move it around until you can reach what you need to | 22:07 |
| _schulte_ | head_victim: ok, just found the mini-remix site, looks perfect... thanks | 22:07 |
| szczur | you can move windows by holding Left Alt, clicking anywhere on window and draging them with mouse | 22:08 |
| head_victim | !mini | 22:08 |
| ubot5 | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:08 |
| trakinas | let me test. I know I was able to do that on Gnome, but I didnt try on lxde. | 22:08 |
| head_victim | _schulte_: ^ :) | 22:08 |
| head_victim | trakinas: works here for me on 11.04 | 22:08 |
| _schulte_ | yea, saw that, but this almost looks preferrable http://www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/ | 22:08 |
| head_victim | szczur: mine works either alt? | 22:09 |
| head_victim | _schulte_: ah ok I'd never seen that, looks like the same thing | 22:09 |
| szczur | head_victim, for me only Lalt because Right alt is used as modifier for ąęłóźł and other polish chars | 22:10 |
| head_victim | szczur: ah of course, I keep forgetting the world has many different languages ;) | 22:10 |
| szczur | :) | 22:11 |
| linuxman410 | is xmonad up to date | 22:11 |
| trakinas | since this has a limited memory, should I keep with Chromium over Firefox? | 22:12 |
| trakinas | alt+move worked. now, my sister needs to see if she likes it, since she asked me to remove her Xandros to anything more up to date. | 22:15 |
| head_victim | trakinas: good to hear :) | 22:16 |
| head_victim | It's a handy trick to remember on smaller screens. | 22:16 |
| trakinas | yep! I will tell her. | 22:16 |
| head_victim | Depends on what you want to do with your browser really. I find Chromium works ok for most things. On my main browsing machine I prefer Firefox though, probably mainly because I've set it up over 3 years to how I want it. | 22:17 |
| trakinas | btw, I tested audio and wifi. both worked like a charm. | 22:17 |
| head_victim | trakinas: that's why I love Lubuntu, it's the only thing that makes this P4 usable in my opinion while still having the overall ease of use Ubuntu experience. | 22:18 |
| trakinas | head_victim: she uses firefox on her main machine, but that has 2gb of memory. and befora that, with 512mb, recently firefoxes was really slow. | 22:18 |
| trakinas | I was really glad that synaptic came bundled. one less thing to install. | 22:19 |
| head_victim | trakinas: well if it's something she's only going to use when out and about I'd say Chromium will be fine unless she really likes her Firefox. In which case maybe try to find some cheap ram for it. | 22:19 |
| trakinas | I will tell her to test chromium for awhile and see if she can handle it okay. otherwise, lets see how FF will behave here. | 22:20 |
| leccy | opera works pretty well for me - i run it and chromium, depending on my mood | 22:21 |
| trakinas | my main concern, though, is within office suite. I can't recall last time I used AbiWord, so I dont know how compatible is it with older MS Docs (before Office 2007) and recent OASIS. | 22:22 |
| head_victim | I don't use the office applications on my Lubuntu install, I do it all on my main pc. | 22:22 |
| trakinas | leccy: good to hear. | 22:22 |
| head_victim | I tried hard to use Chromium on my main machine but I quickly learnt I've spent too much time setting up Firefox just how I like it to want to switch. | 22:23 |
| trakinas | head_victim: I see! I know that she uses her netbook for reading and editing when she is not at hers. but I know this is not too often, she uses more for internet/music. | 22:23 |
| trakinas | head_victim: I use firefox since it was called Phoenix. So my opinion is biased | 22:24 |
| head_victim | I just wish it was easier to sync history and favourites between Chromium and Firefox, then I'd be happy. | 22:24 |
| elros | head_victim: install xmarks | 22:25 |
| trakinas | well, I have to go. will be idle from now on. | 22:26 |
| trakinas | cheers! and thanks | 22:26 |
| elros | xmarks synchronizes bookmaks, available on both chromium and firefox | 22:27 |
| head_victim | elros: isn't it dying? | 22:27 |
| elros | it has revived with lastpass | 22:27 |
| head_victim | elros: hmm thanks for pointing that out. I'm hoping to consolidate some installations soonish though so may no longer need it. But I'll have a think. | 22:29 |
| KM0201 | i changed my icon for Audacious, the same way i did for skype (and it works perfectly... however, after i change mmy icon for audacious.. i can't open the program, i get this in terminal... http://pastebin.com/TGj7D9gT if i change the icon back, it works perfectly | 22:34 |
| KM0201 | bueller? bueller? Last call for bueller... | 22:37 |
| Phosphenes | I'm sorry guys, but I think I've converted to xubuntu. | 22:48 |
| Phosphenes | :P | 22:49 |
| head_victim | Phosphenes: not a problem at all, we all have different needs | 22:49 |
| Phosphenes | I'm keeping lubuntu installed for now though, in case it doesn't work out. | 22:49 |
| head_victim | KM0201: sorry mate, I have no idea where to begin with that | 22:50 |
| KM0201 | head_victim: doesn't make sense does it? | 22:50 |
| head_victim | Phosphenes: I needed Lubuntu for an old computer, I found Xubuntu didn't really have much less resource use than the Gnome install | 22:50 |
| head_victim | KM0201: I don't even really know what I'm reading there | 22:50 |
| KM0201 | cuz the path to the icon is right.. (its the same folder i have my skype icon in.. .and it works w/ skype just fine) | 22:50 |
| linuxman410 | i will stay with lubuntu light weight does everything i need and more lubuntu my os of choice now | 22:52 |
| KM0201 | linuxman410: did you get your problem resolved the other night?... you just stopped responding so i went to bed | 22:52 |
| linuxman410 | yes | 22:52 |
| KM0201 | good. | 22:52 |
| KM0201 | what was the prob? | 22:52 |
| linuxman410 | KM0201 was my broadcom wireless buit in to much trouble so i put a wireless card in it | 22:53 |
| KM0201 | uh... ok.. | 22:54 |
| KM0201 | what kind of card did you buy? | 22:54 |
| linuxman410 | netgear 511 | 22:54 |
| KM0201 | what chipset is that? | 22:54 |
| linuxman410 | atheros i think | 22:55 |
| KM0201 | yeah, atheros usually work pretty good (especially the 5x series.. i have those and they are flawless) | 22:55 |
| linuxman410 | in lubuntu how do i get a screenshot of my desktop | 23:28 |
| KM0201 | linuxman410: i'm not sure of the "Lubuntu" way, but when I used gnome, i was fond of ubuntu's screenshot utility, so i use it.. sudo apt-get install gnome-screenshot | 23:32 |
| Phosphenes | linuxman410: prt/sc | 23:33 |
| Phosphenes | It should appear in your home folder | 23:33 |
| KM0201 | Phosphenes: dang, i never know that | 23:33 |
| KM0201 | thast simple enough.. :) | 23:33 |
| Phosphenes | I only found out a couple days ago | 23:33 |
| KM0201 | nice thing about gnome-screenshot though, you can capture specific windows if you like | 23:33 |
| Phosphenes | Handy | 23:33 |
| Phosphenes | ah | 23:33 |
| linuxman410 | Phosphenes that is awesome | 23:34 |
| Phosphenes | lol | 23:34 |
| KM0201 | you know what. | 23:35 |
| Phosphenes | I do not. | 23:35 |
| KM0201 | the other day, i had a screenshot in my home folder, and wondered how on earth it got there, cuz i didn't remember taking it..lol, | 23:35 |
| linuxman410 | /home/linuxman410/2011-07-04-183339_1280x800_scrot.png | 23:35 |
| KM0201 | i suspect i hit the prtsc button | 23:35 |
| Phosphenes | lol | 23:35 |
| Phosphenes | Must be | 23:35 |
| KM0201 | linuxman410: you gotta host it somewhere. | 23:35 |
| KM0201 | !screenshot | linuxman410 | 23:35 |
| ubot5 | linuxman410: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 23:35 |

| KM0201 | gotta add that to my list | 23:41 |
| linuxman410 | KM0201 that is nice | 23:42 |
| KM0201 | linuxman410: i have a thing for nature/landscape wallpapers | 23:43 |
| linuxman410 | KM0201 custom wallpaper is what its about | 23:44 |
| KM0201 | linuxman410: how did you get that battery monitor? | 23:47 |
| KM0201 | mine just shows a green bar. | 23:47 |
