| Tatsujin | openshot sure has issues in lubuntu, first in lubuntu-desktop it doesn't run at all and in a clean install of lubuntu it does actually start but shuts down instantly. | 00:10 |

| lubun | how do i get to a mp3? media? | 00:38 |
| lubun | wow my mp3 has 7.9 gigs and 6gigs is deleted files and i cant get them off..? but i think its a mp3 problem not with pc | 00:46 |
| ethan | i'd just like to say thank you to any programmers of lubuntu who might be here | 01:05 |
| ethan | this system is awesome | 01:05 |
| ethan | i'm running on an asus eeepc 900a with 4 gb of hard drive space and 1 gb of ram | 01:05 |
| ethan | and this thing is running really well | 01:06 |
| Unit193 | I'm not dev, but thanks for those kind words! | 01:08 |

| ethan | i want to install a deb file | 02:30 |
| ethan | is there a program i can use with a gui | 02:30 |
| ethan | that i can download with the terminal | 02:30 |
| Unit193 | ethan: You should be able to use gdebi | 02:31 |
| ethan | i'll try that | 02:31 |
| ethan | is there a gui i could download with it? | 02:32 |
| ethan | this doesn't have it | 02:32 |
| ethan | oh got it thanks | 02:33 |
| Unit193 | You couldn't just double click on the .deb? | 02:33 |
| ethan | it was set to open in the terminal | 02:34 |
| ethan | which i could figure out, but i dont feel like taking the time | 02:34 |
| Unit193 | It's the method I use :P (Not for everyone...) | 02:35 |
| ethan | ya i use the terminal a lot but i feel uncomfortable using it to install from the hard disk | 02:35 |
| ethan | i just dont know that well how to use it | 02:35 |
| Unit193 | I use sudo dpkg -i file.deb and you may also need sudo apt-get install -f for missing depends | 02:37 |
| ethan | well this is pretty much a fresh install | 02:38 |
| ethan | i dont see how there could really be any missing depends | 02:38 |
| KM0201 | ethan: when you double clicked the .deb, did it open in terminal and ask you to type I for install, or a couple other commands? | 02:38 |
| KM0201 | otherwise, they'll open in Gdebi, at least they do for me | 02:39 |
| ethan | yeah | 02:39 |
| ethan | but i dont really need that | 02:39 |
| KM0201 | yeah what? | 02:39 |
| ethan | yeah it asked to type i for install | 02:39 |
| ethan | that stuff | 02:39 |
| ethan | but it's fine | 02:39 |
| KM0201 | ethan: thats an install script it runs, click I, then type sudo.. | 02:39 |
| KM0201 | thats not how you install from terminal, some .debs just do that. | 02:40 |
| ethan | i understand how to do it i just would rather have a gui | 02:40 |
| KM0201 | ethan: ok, then install gdebi | 02:41 |
| ethan | even though its a lot easier to type five characters | 02:41 |
| jmarsden | Why are we doing installs from downloaded .deb files instead of from a repository? | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | you're not making sense... you don't want to install a gdebi, cuz you "don't need it"... but you don't want to use the terminal either | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: well, thats another issue.. | 02:41 |
| ethan | the .deb was nt from a repository | 02:41 |
| jmarsden | ethan: Where *was* it from? That sounds dangerous... | 02:41 |
| ethan | i already have gdebi | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | ethan: then install it weith gdebi, or is clicking "install package" to much work now? | 02:42 |
| ethan | i didnnt know | 02:42 |
| ethan | guys its done youre making a mountain out of a mole hill | 02:42 |
| ethan | it was just using terminal as default instead of gdebi | 02:42 |
| KM0201 | ethan: ok, well, at least you got it resolved, but you said a minute ago, you'd rather not install gdebi | 02:43 |
| KM0201 | but tats fine, glad you got it resolved | 02:43 |
| ethan | hahaha no i meant i didnt need to cause i had it | 02:43 |
| ethan | im not new to ubuntu | 02:43 |
| KM0201 | .. the more this conversation goes, the more confused i get | 02:43 |
| ethan | im just used to more enhanced versions | 02:43 |
| ethan | ok | 02:44 |
| ethan | one more thing | 02:44 |
| ethan | im trying to download a package | 02:44 |
| ethan | from chromium | 02:44 |
| KM0201 | chromium is in the repository.. | 02:44 |
| ethan | it gives me an external protocol request | 02:44 |
| ethan | and i click ok | 02:44 |
| ethan | and it just opens a new windoow in chromium | 02:44 |
| Unit193 | KM0201: Download from a website using chromium | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | man, i'm either off my game, or.. i dunno... | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | nothing being said makes sense. | 02:45 |
| ethan | any way to make it actually download the file? | 02:45 |
| jmarsden | ethan: Sounds like either chromium or xdg-open or both do not fully know how to deal with the mime-type that website is giving to the package file. | 02:46 |
| jmarsden | Can't you right click and do save as... ? | 02:46 |
| ethan | doesnt work | 02:46 |
| ethan | so how do I fix it? | 02:46 |
| jmarsden | ethan: You can figure out the relevant mime type, then hack on the xdg-open script, I'd guess... easier to just use wget (or better still, quit downloading packages from anywhere that is not a known and trusted repository in the first place!) | 02:47 |
| jmarsden | Ubuntu is not Windows. We do not just downlaod random binary packages and install them. | 02:48 |
| ethan | i understand that | 02:48 |
| jmarsden | Then ... why are you downloading random binary packages and installing them? | 02:48 |
| ethan | is it wrong i want do download a few packages that arent in a repo? | 02:49 |
| ethan | and they arent that random | 02:49 |
| jmarsden | If you downloaded the source packages adn checked them out carefully, and then built the binaries from them, that's fine... | 02:49 |
| Unit193 | jmarsden: They may not be random to him and he may require something that isn't in the repo or is an old version | 02:49 |
| jmarsden | Unit193: Deliberately breaking package management by dwonloading binaries from untrusted places is a bad idea. period. | 02:49 |
| KM0201 | ethan: what other versions of linux have you used? | 02:50 |
| KM0201 | (and were proficient with) | 02:50 |
| ethan | pretty much ubuntu | 02:50 |
| ethan | i tried fedora | 02:50 |
| ethan | but didnt like it | 02:50 |
| ethan | lubuntu is just more stripped down | 02:50 |
| Unit193 | jmarsden: And if the person installing trusts them? The repo isn't always up to date. | 02:50 |
| jmarsden | Unit193: The only way you know you can trust a package is if you trust whoever signed it... or you built it yourself, of course, after reading the sources from which it is built. | 02:51 |
| ethan | or you can just not care because theres nothing on the computer of real value anyway | 02:52 |
| jmarsden | PPAs are free; anyone providing binary packages without corresponding sources is therefore pretty suspect. | 02:52 |
| jmarsden | ethan: Your bandwidth has real value... to spammers. They don't care what is on your computer, just that they can take it over and use it for their own purposes. | 02:52 |
| jmarsden | Failing to care about the security if an Internet connected machine is, therefore, unwise. | 02:53 |
| jmarsden | s/if/of/ | 02:53 |
| zkriesse_ | jmarsden: Calm down buddy | 03:11 |
| zkriesse_ | You don't need to go all into super security on the guy, just answer the question as it was asked, not give a biography on how to install a file | 03:11 |
| jmarsden | zkriesse_: Someone else already did that; I merely questioned the wisdom of the underlying act. | 03:12 |
| zkriesse_ | Indeed | 03:13 |
| zkriesse_ | Which is fine :) Just don't scare the guy with your knowledge lol | 03:13 |
| jmarsden | zkriesse_: Some of us have been working in network admin and network security since well before some folks in this channel were born... | 03:13 |
| jmarsden | Scaring people away from random downloads of binaries is, IMO, probably a good thing :) | 03:13 |
| zkriesse_ | jmarsden: Indeed, I do not dispute that fact, I'm merely suggesting a little less info at one time lol don't overwhelm, rather inform at an understandable pace. | 03:14 |
| jmarsden | Well.... OK. Each sentence was in response to a specific statement from someone else in channel. I didn't just type in a security encyclopedia :) | 03:15 |

| Slick666 | anyone seen some good posts explaining it? | 18:30 |
| andantino | i have just installed lubuntu on an older pc to see how it runs. I love it thus far. Very agile system. But I am having a problem with my monitor settings. It is detecting them at 1280x960 | 18:36 |
| andantino | it should be 1024x768. I can change it without any problems but when I restart it resets to 1280x960 | 18:37 |

| andantino | i was using Monitor Settings in the preferences menu | 18:43 |
| andantino | ive had this problem with certain distros on this computer | 18:44 |
| Unit193 | Hmmm.... That should keep the settings. Do you have an xorg.conf file? (/etc/X11/xorg.conf ) | 18:45 |

| Kurdistan | Slick666, I don´t use gnome network manager more | 18:51 |

| trakinas | Lubuntu keep complaining about my system having less than 5.3GB. Why I can boot the iso on a 4GB pendrive but can't install it on the netbook? which also has 4GB | 19:03 |

| phillw | trakinas: I'm not too sure how else to call that page. It is a listing of all our releases after 9.10 | 19:09 |

| trakinas | (please use the torrent feed) - sorry! haha! but there were no "minimal.torrent" link there. so I used the http | 20:25 |

| phillw | trakinas: seeders are always welcome, at each release the servers just get hammered. Even though I'm on a shared server, they are dead cool about it as they do not mind a sudden massive spike in my data bandwidth as they know for most of the time it is low. | 20:37 |
