[00:30] <kristian-aalborg> how good is dropbox support on the newest Lubuntu?
[00:33] <stlsaint> kristian-aalborg: i personnaly have not used it
[01:31] <Fudge> hi
[10:54] <herdwick> is there a way to add a desktop shortcut to Lubuntu desktop eg to access Abiword. It's for a limited ability user
[10:59] <head_victim> herdwick: sure is, give me a second I'll find a link
[11:00] <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
[11:02] <head_victim> herdwick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1510662
[11:19] <herdwick_> darn, crashed !
[11:21] <head_victim> herdwick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1510662
[11:21] <head_victim> :)
[11:22] <herdwick_> sorry head_victim I locked up the m/c, thanks for link
[11:22] <head_victim> No worries
[11:23] <herdwick_> right click on menu item - what could be simpler. :-)
[11:46] <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
[11:47] <bioterror> for me it just downloads digitalis.pls :)
[11:49] <bioterror> VLC plays that without a problem
[12:22] <apanda_> yep, mplayer not embedded plays the playlist fine as well
[13:02] <hyper_ch> hi there
[13:32] <hyper_ch> how can I make autologin for an user in lubuntu 11.04?
[13:44] <Unit193> hyper_ch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ it's right in here ;)
[13:45] <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 :(
[13:46] <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
[19:21] <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?
[19:22] <w30> hav/have
[19:24] <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?
[19:25] <w30> no, but Wal Mart has bunches :=)
[19:27] <stlsaint> w30: if you could get another usb, then you could load another livecd onto it and then wipe your other one
[19:29] <w30> yeah, I have the lubuntu11.4.iso I could just do the drive over in my desktop port
[19:30] <w30> stlsaint, I have a couple of hp printers configured and it added a ton of downloaded apps from synaptic.
[19:31] <w30> stlsaint, the next boot on a different 'puter won't have that printer
[19:33] <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.
[19:34] <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?
[19:36] <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
[19:37] <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.
[19:38] <stlsaint> w30: so why not remove all the stuff you installed but dont want
[19:39] <w30> stlsaint, that's entirely possible but awful time consuming unless all the changes go into a special area, file, folder
[19:40] <stlsaint> w30: so your going to go back to fresh install?
[19:41] <w30> stlsaint, proly, if I get it too full
[19:42] <w30> stlsaint, on the usb flash drive that is
[19:43] <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 :=)
[19:45] <w30> I might eve put it on my Dell Inspiron 2gig dual core
[19:45] <w30> eve/even
[19:45] <stlsaint> w30: live install?
[19:46] <w30> I bet it would scream with a live install
[19:46] <w30> scream/screem
[19:47] <w30> right now it's got Ubuntu with Compiz and it handles that with ease also
[19:48] <stlsaint> yea i run ubuntu with compiz and when i run lubuntu it just blazes
[19:48] <w30> stlsaint, cool, eh?
[19:51] <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
[19:52] <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
[19:54] <w30> I have not had so much fun since I went away from Slackware in the late 90's
[19:55] <stlsaint> w30: ah the great slackware
[19:57] <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.
[19:59] <w30> stlsaint, when Windows 8 comes out maybe more will follow, It gives scroungers a new look on life. Ha
[20:00] <w30> stlsaint, thanks for answering my request anyhow :=)
[20:02] <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 ?
[20:05] <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
[20:06] <stlsaint> w30: hence i stick with ubuntu 10.04
[20:07] <stlsaint> no gnome3 no unity or nothing
[20:07] <stlsaint> just my good ol panels
[20:08] <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
[20:11] <stlsaint> i dont even like mac
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <stlsaint> w30: actually most do
[20:15] <w30> stlsaint, 'cause I forget the switches used
[20:15] <w30> stlsaint, and a reminder helps
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <stlsaint> w30: like blkid does not need a gui
[20:20] <w30> stlsaint, I am whining so I apologize
[20:21] <w30> stlsaint, I need a cheat sheet for all them necessary but small commands
[20:22] <w30> stlsaint, any idea for a good source for one?
[20:22] <w30> stlsaint, I have mv and ls mastered heheh
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <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 ;)
[20:26] <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
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <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?
[20:29] <stlsaint> well MOTU is more ubuntu specific, we are looking at larger picture trying to push into debian ;)
[20:33] <Unit193> stlsaint > offtopic?
[20:37] <w30> ok, guys,gals I got clicompanion now to make a desktop launcher.....
[20:43] <w30> I think I will be an amateur salesman for clicompanion; it looks good
[20:52] <w30> mmmnnnhh..... what do I use for an Icon?
[21:05] <w30> ahh... here is one; a picture of a terminal with warning written on it.
[21:55] <DannyDroid> hello all
[21:56] <DannyDroid> I seem to be having some trouble using Openbox / GNOME
[21:59] <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...
[22:00] <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
[22:01] <jmarsden> DannyDroid: OK.  You are running Lubuntu 11.04 ?  And you have GNOME installed?
[22:02] <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.
[22:03] <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
[22:04] <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.
[22:06] <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.
[22:07] <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 :)
[22:10] <DannyDroid> Now, to find myself a nice, light dock and elementary theme :P
[22:11] <DannyDroid> And I will be one very happy Lubuntu user - in fact, I going with the 10.10 Lubuntu theme.
[22:45] <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.
[22:46] <LuckySMack> i also have no applications > preferences > sound in my applications
[22:47] <LuckySMack> was hoping someone might be able to help get it fixed
[22:53] <GTRsdk> LuckySMack, does just running ubuntu-bug and choosing a sound option work?
[22:57] <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?
[23:01] <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.
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <LuckySMack> theres only 1 dowload for both x86 and x64? just making sure i dont want to grab an x86 version
[23:05] <jmarsden> There is no official x64 version of Lubuntu 11.04.  There is a separate unofficial amd64 iso.
[23:06] <LuckySMack> oh ok.
[23:07] <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/
[23:08] <jmarsden> That is not the only definition of "lubuntus site" :)  Use the ubuntu.com stuff instead.
[23:08] <LuckySMack> alright. good to know. thanks
[23:09] <jmarsden> There should be a link to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu in the topic of this channel .. maybe a shortened one...
[23:35] <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.
