| herdwick | is there a way to add a desktop shortcut to Lubuntu desktop eg to access Abiword. It's for a limited ability user | 10:54 |
| head_victim | herdwick: sure is, give me a second I'll find a link | 10:59 |
| herdwick | cool | 11:00 |
| head_victim | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ is what I was thinking off but apparently it's not there | 11:00 |
| head_victim | I'll look elsewhere | 11:00 |

| herdwick_ | sorry head_victim I locked up the m/c, thanks for link | 11:22 |
| head_victim | No worries | 11:22 |
| herdwick_ | right click on menu item - what could be simpler. :-) | 11:23 |
| apanda_ | hm, can you reproduce this crash? http://somafm.com/play/digitalis with the default chromium + gnome mplayer settings crashes the whole GUI | 11:46 |
| apanda_ | or freezes rather | 11:46 |
| apanda_ | i can only move the mouse | 11:46 |
| apanda_ | i could kill mplayer from another terminal to fix the freeze | 11:46 |
| bioterror | for me it just downloads digitalis.pls :) | 11:47 |
| bioterror | VLC plays that without a problem | 11:49 |
| apanda_ | yep, mplayer not embedded plays the playlist fine as well | 12:22 |
| hyper_ch | hi there | 13:02 |
| hyper_ch | how can I make autologin for an user in lubuntu 11.04? | 13:32 |
| Unit193 | hyper_ch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ it's right in here ;) | 13:44 |
| hyper_ch | Unit193: which I did... after fresh installation from alternate 10.10... but after upgrade to 11.04 it didn't work anymore | 13:45 |
| hyper_ch | the graphical isntaller still can't encrypt the installation :( | 13:45 |
| Unit193 | hyper_ch: Is the file still as it should be? or has it been replaced? | 13:46 |
| hyper_ch | Unit193: I chose to not replace it with maintainer's version from 11.04 after I did those modifications in 10.10 | 13:46 |
| hyper_ch | anyway, there were other issues and I have a fresh install now anyway... just upgrading to 11.04 before I alter anything | 13:46 |
| w30 | I hav lubuntu on a usb flash drive with 4gig for config. Is there an easy way to wipe the config and go back to default? | 19:21 |
| w30 | hav/have | 19:22 |
| w30 | I know I can reflash the drive on my desktop but how do I do it away from home? | 19:24 |
| stlsaint | w30: do you have another usb drive you can use to load a linux livecd? | 19:24 |
| w30 | no, but Wal Mart has bunches :=) | 19:25 |
| stlsaint | w30: if you could get another usb, then you could load another livecd onto it and then wipe your other one | 19:27 |
| w30 | yeah, I have the lubuntu11.4.iso I could just do the drive over in my desktop port | 19:29 |
| w30 | stlsaint, I have a couple of hp printers configured and it added a ton of downloaded apps from synaptic. | 19:30 |
| w30 | stlsaint, the next boot on a different 'puter won't have that printer | 19:31 |
| w30 | stlsaint, what if I go to a buddy's house and want to download porn? I might need the drive space. | 19:33 |
| w30 | stlsaint, not really, but you get what I mean. | 19:33 |
| stlsaint | w30: please refrain from speaking of porn in our support channel and have you tried using those printers with generic drivers instead of downloading them all? | 19:34 |
| w30 | stlsaint, there will always be downloads for each computer you boot into. | 19:36 |
| stlsaint | w30: hrm, im not sure im following what you are saying | 19:36 |
| w30 | stlsaint, if not printers then somethng else. I would rather reserve space for wifi drivers and such that have to be inhouse to even get on the net. | 19:37 |
| stlsaint | w30: so why not remove all the stuff you installed but dont want | 19:38 |
| w30 | stlsaint, that's entirely possible but awful time consuming unless all the changes go into a special area, file, folder | 19:39 |
| stlsaint | w30: so your going to go back to fresh install? | 19:40 |
| w30 | stlsaint, proly, if I get it too full | 19:41 |
| w30 | stlsaint, on the usb flash drive that is | 19:42 |
| w30 | stlsaint, I am going to install it on my hand me down net book because XP uses the entire netbook 8.6 gig ssd drive juust for XP | 19:43 |
| w30 | Lubuntu is awsome :=) | 19:43 |
| w30 | I might eve put it on my Dell Inspiron 2gig dual core | 19:45 |
| w30 | eve/even | 19:45 |
| stlsaint | w30: live install? | 19:45 |
| w30 | I bet it would scream with a live install | 19:46 |
| w30 | scream/screem | 19:46 |
| w30 | right now it's got Ubuntu with Compiz and it handles that with ease also | 19:47 |
| stlsaint | yea i run ubuntu with compiz and when i run lubuntu it just blazes | 19:48 |
| w30 | stlsaint, cool, eh? | 19:48 |
| w30 | stlsaint, I pushed Lubuntu just for kicks and finally got lockup with a bunch of apps open and a full screen flv video | 19:51 |
| stlsaint | w30: i have yet to be able to fully lock lubuntu up | 19:51 |
| stlsaint | no matter how many browser tabs open | 19:52 |
| w30 | stlsaint, strictly on usb boot of course and no swap running. | 19:52 |
| stlsaint | i even added many more desktops just to open up alot of apps | 19:52 |
| w30 | I have not had so much fun since I went away from Slackware in the late 90's | 19:54 |
| stlsaint | w30: ah the great slackware | 19:55 |
| w30 | stlsaint, on an AMD K6, and it saddens me to see Ubuntu announcing a drop of support for that cpu. There is better cpu's going in the trash so I can kinda see why. | 19:57 |
| w30 | stlsaint, when Windows 8 comes out maybe more will follow, It gives scroungers a new look on life. Ha | 19:59 |
| w30 | stlsaint, thanks for answering my request anyhow :=) | 20:00 |
| stlsaint | windows 8 is suppose to be the best windows yet | 20:02 |
| w30 | stlsaint, now that I have discovered Lubuntu I will take anything above an 8088 or whatever that came after | 20:02 |
| w30 | stlsaint, for hardware requirements or ? | 20:02 |
| w30 | stlsaint, I am not giving my vote to Unity or Gnome3 or OSX11 or whatever that takes an intire screen to choose or launch an application | 20:05 |
| stlsaint | w30: hence i stick with ubuntu 10.04 | 20:06 |
| stlsaint | no gnome3 no unity or nothing | 20:07 |
| stlsaint | just my good ol panels | 20:07 |
| w30 | and that stupid top panel that switches as you highlight the window the app is in. I did not like that in a Mac even though they do a better job with it at the moment | 20:08 |
| stlsaint | i dont even like mac | 20:11 |
| w30 | stlsaint, the thing I wish for is some of the more useful command line programs would get a simple GUI, even ncurses like alsamixer uses | 20:14 |
| stlsaint | w30: actually most do | 20:15 |
| w30 | stlsaint, 'cause I forget the switches used | 20:15 |
| w30 | stlsaint, and a reminder helps | 20:15 |
| w30 | like blkid is hard because I keep thinking UUID something or other | 20:19 |
| stlsaint | w30: aye i see what you mean but most commands just run via terminal, no true need for a gui | 20:19 |
| stlsaint | w30: like blkid does not need a gui | 20:20 |
| w30 | stlsaint, I am whining so I apologize | 20:20 |
| w30 | stlsaint, I need a cheat sheet for all them necessary but small commands | 20:21 |
| w30 | stlsaint, any idea for a good source for one? | 20:22 |
| w30 | stlsaint, I have mv and ls mastered heheh | 20:22 |
| stlsaint | w30: clicompanion ;) | 20:24 |
| w30 | stlsaint, I would like one with "what ya wanna do?" listed first | 20:24 |
| Unit193 | I have a wallpaper with that... And take a look at http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/cli-companion-makes-it-easier-to-use.html | 20:24 |
| stlsaint | w30: https://launchpad.net/clicompanion | 20:25 |
| w30 | Unit193, cool, checking now | 20:25 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: Bothing thinking the same (I just couldn't remember the name) | 20:25 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: you know im part of that team ;) | 20:25 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: i actually submitted clicompanion to alex (webupd8 admin/author) for a article :D | 20:26 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: No I didn't! I've never used it, but just because you work on it, I'm going to install now | 20:26 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: lol, give us a about two weeks to put out a new release | 20:26 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: Sure! I'll wait 'til then | 20:26 |
| stlsaint | we made ALOT, (truly alot) of changes to it since that release on the lp page | 20:27 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: our own lubuntu packager (jmarsden) also helps out alot with the project | 20:27 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: i am pushing to get it into larger Debian repository :D | 20:28 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: Sweet! Is this something you can contact a MOTU with? | 20:28 |
| stlsaint | well MOTU is more ubuntu specific, we are looking at larger picture trying to push into debian ;) | 20:29 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint > offtopic? | 20:33 |
| w30 | ok, guys,gals I got clicompanion now to make a desktop launcher..... | 20:37 |
| w30 | I think I will be an amateur salesman for clicompanion; it looks good | 20:43 |
| w30 | mmmnnnhh..... what do I use for an Icon? | 20:52 |
| w30 | ahh... here is one; a picture of a terminal with warning written on it. | 21:05 |
| DannyDroid | hello all | 21:55 |
| DannyDroid | I seem to be having some trouble using Openbox / GNOME | 21:56 |
| jmarsden | DannyDroid: You'll need to be a lot more specific if you want someone to try and help you :) "some trouble" is not very clear... | 21:59 |
| DannyDroid | good point | 22:00 |
| DannyDroid | I simply, cannot log in when selecting gnome / opebox | 22:00 |
| DannyDroid | i type my user name and password but then get kicked out | 22:00 |
| jmarsden | DannyDroid: OK. You are running Lubuntu 11.04 ? And you have GNOME installed? | 22:01 |
| DannyDroid | I thought it may have something to do with me having my /home on a different partition and the old config files from my old Ubuntu where causing it so fail so I removed them with no effect | 22:02 |
| DannyDroid | 11.04 and I haven't installed GNOME, no. | 22:02 |
| jmarsden | So.. why would you expect GNOME/Openbox to work, if GNOME is not installed? | 22:03 |
| jmarsden | Most Lubuntu users use the default LXDE environment, that is really what is expected... | 22:03 |
| DannyDroid | I assumed that if it was already in the menu that it was already installed | 22:03 |
| DannyDroid | I just wanted to see how gnome compared to LXDE on Lubuntu | 22:04 |
| DannyDroid | You will have to forgive me, I've only been a Linux user for a year or so :P | 22:04 |
| jmarsden | To do that you would need to install GNOME. It is way too big to be installed in Lubuntu by default. | 22:04 |
| DannyDroid | Makes sense when you say it :P . | 22:06 |
| jmarsden | Overall, GNOME is bigger, fancier, and slower; LXDE is smaller, faster, and quicker. Lubuntu is mainly aimed at people with older PCs, or who value the speed over the extras that GNOME offers. | 22:06 |
| DannyDroid | I guess a better option for me would be to just get the hang of LXDE instead of going back to gnome ways | 22:06 |
| jmarsden | Agreed. | 22:06 |
| DannyDroid | That's why I'm here. Ubuntu was just running too slow on my poor little Atom and locked up way more then I could bare | 22:07 |
| DannyDroid | Lubuntu has been a dream so far | 22:07 |
| jmarsden | OK, then stick with LXDE and you should do well :) | 22:07 |
| DannyDroid | Now, to find myself a nice, light dock and elementary theme :P | 22:10 |
| DannyDroid | And I will be one very happy Lubuntu user - in fact, I going with the 10.10 Lubuntu theme. | 22:11 |
| LuckySMack | i just installed lubuntu desktop after installing ubuntu natty (fresh install). and it seems I now have no sound. all my sound drivers appear to be installed (though it appears as if both alsa and pulseaudio are installed). | 22:45 |
| LuckySMack | i tried running 'ubuntu-bug sound' but it wasnt able to determine anything. | 22:45 |
| LuckySMack | i also have no applications > preferences > sound in my applications | 22:46 |
| LuckySMack | was hoping someone might be able to help get it fixed | 22:47 |
| GTRsdk | LuckySMack, does just running ubuntu-bug and choosing a sound option work? | 22:53 |
| jmarsden | LuckySMack: Since this is a fresh install, it might be easiest to simply install Lubuntu, so you only have one sound subsystem? Do you really need to have both GNOME/Unity and LXDE on the machine? | 22:57 |
| LuckySMack | no it didnt. i managed to get the sound options up from the terminal but nothing worked. | 23:01 |
| LuckySMack | i uninstalled gnome desktop. | 23:01 |
| LuckySMack | i wanted to try lubuntu cause gnome/unity has just been too buggy. and lubuntu looked nice. | 23:02 |
| LuckySMack | does lubuntu use alsa? i can just remove all the pulse audio stuff | 23:02 |
| jmarsden | LuckySMack: Yes. But rather than try a peculiar "GNOME plus lubuntu-desktop minus gnome-desktop" install, which is going to be relatively rare and untested, just install Lubuntu :) | 23:03 |
| LuckySMack | yea im downloading it now | 23:03 |
| LuckySMack | theres only 1 dowload for both x86 and x64? just making sure i dont want to grab an x86 version | 23:04 |
| jmarsden | There is no official x64 version of Lubuntu 11.04. There is a separate unofficial amd64 iso. | 23:05 |
| LuckySMack | oh ok. | 23:06 |
| LuckySMack | i dont see a download other than the one on the front page | 23:07 |
| jmarsden | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu | 23:07 |
| jmarsden | What front page?? | 23:07 |
| LuckySMack | lubuntus site | 23:07 |
| LuckySMack | http://lubuntu.net/ | 23:07 |
| jmarsden | That is not the only definition of "lubuntus site" :) Use the ubuntu.com stuff instead. | 23:08 |
| LuckySMack | alright. good to know. thanks | 23:08 |
| jmarsden | There should be a link to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu in the topic of this channel .. maybe a shortened one... | 23:09 |
| LuckySMack | it took me a min to figure out how to get dual monitors working. but why does it seem smoother than using gnome. heh. | 23:35 |
