=== Guest90833 is now known as zkriesse [00:10] 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. [00:38] how do i get to a mp3? media? [00:46] 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 [01:05] i'd just like to say thank you to any programmers of lubuntu who might be here [01:05] this system is awesome [01:05] i'm running on an asus eeepc 900a with 4 gb of hard drive space and 1 gb of ram [01:06] and this thing is running really well [01:08] I'm not dev, but thanks for those kind words! [02:05] best music player is MOC === zkriesse_ is now known as Guest96218 === Zach__ is now known as zkriesse_ [02:30] i want to install a deb file [02:30] is there a program i can use with a gui [02:30] that i can download with the terminal [02:31] ethan: You should be able to use gdebi [02:31] i'll try that [02:32] is there a gui i could download with it? [02:32] this doesn't have it [02:33] oh got it thanks [02:33] You couldn't just double click on the .deb? [02:34] it was set to open in the terminal [02:34] which i could figure out, but i dont feel like taking the time [02:35] It's the method I use :P (Not for everyone...) [02:35] ya i use the terminal a lot but i feel uncomfortable using it to install from the hard disk [02:35] i just dont know that well how to use it [02:37] I use sudo dpkg -i file.deb and you may also need sudo apt-get install -f for missing depends [02:38] well this is pretty much a fresh install [02:38] i dont see how there could really be any missing depends [02:38] 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? [02:39] otherwise, they'll open in Gdebi, at least they do for me [02:39] yeah [02:39] but i dont really need that [02:39] yeah what? [02:39] yeah it asked to type i for install [02:39] that stuff [02:39] but it's fine [02:39] ethan: thats an install script it runs, click I, then type sudo.. [02:40] thats not how you install from terminal, some .debs just do that. [02:40] i understand how to do it i just would rather have a gui [02:41] ethan: ok, then install gdebi [02:41] even though its a lot easier to type five characters [02:41] Why are we doing installs from downloaded .deb files instead of from a repository? [02:41] 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] jmarsden: well, thats another issue.. [02:41] the .deb was nt from a repository [02:41] ethan: Where *was* it from? That sounds dangerous... [02:41] i already have gdebi [02:42] ethan: then install it weith gdebi, or is clicking "install package" to much work now? [02:42] i didnnt know [02:42] guys its done youre making a mountain out of a mole hill [02:42] it was just using terminal as default instead of gdebi [02:43] ethan: ok, well, at least you got it resolved, but you said a minute ago, you'd rather not install gdebi [02:43] but tats fine, glad you got it resolved [02:43] hahaha no i meant i didnt need to cause i had it [02:43] im not new to ubuntu [02:43] .. the more this conversation goes, the more confused i get [02:43] im just used to more enhanced versions [02:44] ok [02:44] one more thing [02:44] im trying to download a package [02:44] from chromium [02:44] chromium is in the repository.. [02:44] it gives me an external protocol request [02:44] and i click ok [02:44] and it just opens a new windoow in chromium [02:45] KM0201: Download from a website using chromium [02:45] man, i'm either off my game, or.. i dunno... [02:45] nothing being said makes sense. [02:45] any way to make it actually download the file? [02:46] 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] Can't you right click and do save as... ? [02:46] doesnt work [02:46] so how do I fix it? [02:47] 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!) [02:48] Ubuntu is not Windows. We do not just downlaod random binary packages and install them. [02:48] i understand that [02:48] Then ... why are you downloading random binary packages and installing them? [02:49] is it wrong i want do download a few packages that arent in a repo? [02:49] and they arent that random [02:49] If you downloaded the source packages adn checked them out carefully, and then built the binaries from them, that's fine... [02:49] 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] Unit193: Deliberately breaking package management by dwonloading binaries from untrusted places is a bad idea. period. [02:50] ethan: what other versions of linux have you used? [02:50] (and were proficient with) [02:50] pretty much ubuntu [02:50] i tried fedora [02:50] but didnt like it [02:50] lubuntu is just more stripped down [02:50] jmarsden: And if the person installing trusts them? The repo isn't always up to date. [02:51] 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. [02:52] or you can just not care because theres nothing on the computer of real value anyway [02:52] PPAs are free; anyone providing binary packages without corresponding sources is therefore pretty suspect. [02:52] 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. [02:53] Failing to care about the security if an Internet connected machine is, therefore, unwise. [02:53] s/if/of/ [03:11] jmarsden: Calm down buddy [03:11] 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 [03:12] zkriesse_: Someone else already did that; I merely questioned the wisdom of the underlying act. [03:13] Indeed [03:13] Which is fine :) Just don't scare the guy with your knowledge lol [03:13] 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] Scaring people away from random downloads of binaries is, IMO, probably a good thing :) [03:14] 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. [03:15] 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] Hehehe [03:26] sup folks === semitones is now known as semibottu === semibottu is now known as semitones [04:22] you guys know any vnc/remote desktop applications that are good with lubuntu? [04:22] x11vnc works for me [04:22] !vnc [04:22] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [04:23] x11vnc gives me an error though [04:23] How do you start it? [04:24] x11vnc -safer -forever -usepw -display :0 is what I use [04:24] i just go to the internet applications [04:24] and click x11vnc [04:25] I'm trying vino but i have no idea how to configure it [04:27] oh hey i got it nevermind === Zach__ is now known as zkriesse_ === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse__ === zkriesse__ is now known as zkriesse_ [12:55] hi, I have to use proxy to access internet, I want to create a shortcut (like a quick-launcher) on the panel, shortcut with a command like this: chromium-browser --proxy-server="10.14.0.241:3128", any help would be appreciated, tia.

[18:36] 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 [18:37] it should be 1024x768. I can change it without any problems but when I restart it resets to 1280x960 [18:38] andantino, open the terimal and right xrand [18:38] write [18:38] one second kurdistan...ill be right back [18:41] alright....sorry about that [18:41] xrandr?

[18:43] i was using Monitor Settings in the preferences menu [18:44] ive had this problem with certain distros on this computer [18:45] Hmmm.... That should keep the settings.

[19:03] 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 [19:04] trying to install 11.04 [19:05] trakinas: Trying to install with less HDD space needs the disk from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu [19:05] "32 bit, low disk usage - For those people where hard disk space is critically low, this community edition requires just 2.7 GB of hard drive. This version is discussed at 11.04 Minimal Disk Space." [19:06] thanks! i was trying to find some link like that. [19:07] are there many seeds for the torrent? [19:07] it's in the topic :) I do wish people would read it :P [19:08] phillw: I wouldnt try "get lubuntu" because I already got it. [19:09] phillw: What do you think I typed right before? :D [19:09] I tried something like "lubuntu 4gb" on google, but google finds many Ubuntu's link, but none lubuntu. and since today Im not on the mood of digging links from results, I came here. sorry for that.

[20:21] LAcan: I'm not familiar with ubuntuone, you may be better asking on #ubuntu-beginners. They may well be familiar with the issue. [20:22] LAcan: You can reset your keyring if you wish [20:25] (please use the torrent feed) - sorry! haha! but there were no "minimal.torrent" link there. so I used the http [20:33] trakinas: that is why I try my best to ensure I hold a mirror of each iso on my server area. === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [20:34] the main minimal install isos are held on Canonical's own servers. I only hold the lubuntu ones. [20:35] phillw: cool! If there is any .torrent somewhere/someday, let me know, so I can seed. [20:37] 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] nice [20:39] I have no hesitation in recommending both my DNS provider, nor hoster. It has taken a few years, but for those who use them I've never heard a complaint.
