| silverarrow | how safe is lubuntu? | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| silverarrow | would you dare open a link that might be malware? | 00:12 |
| KM0201 | silverarrow: as safe as Ubuntu. | 00:12 |
| silverarrow | well, is that safe? | 00:13 |
| silverarrow | I got this link from a person I know, and something is weird | 00:13 |
| KM0201 | silverarrow: lol... i clicked this just to see what happened (nothing did)... http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/virus.jpg | 00:13 |
| KM0201 | silverarrow: is it a link you can share? if you're nervous, i'll try it | 00:14 |
| silverarrow | lol | 00:14 |
| silverarrow | this one then http://venus-beauty.pl/tnx_you.htm | 00:14 |
| Kurdistan | silverarrow: lubuntu is secure. | 00:14 |
| silverarrow | I think my friend is messed with somehow, stolen email identity | 00:15 |
| KM0201 | silverarrow: yeah, it doesn't really look right. | 00:16 |
| KM0201 | silverarrow: thats possible.. but that doesn't mean you're infected, it means she is | 00:16 |
| silverarrow | it's her name but her email address is different too | 00:16 |
| silverarrow | I have to let her know | 00:17 |
| KM0201 | silverarrow: there's a good example, they've probably gotten your name, out of her address book, and are spoofing her address | 00:17 |
| silverarrow | lets hope it's hers, and not mine | 00:18 |
| aikInsaan | what's the best way to run MSie in lubuntu? wine? | 00:20 |
| aikInsaan | and by best i mean easiest and tried and tested | 00:20 |
| KM0201 | aikInsaan: why on earth would you do that | 00:20 |
| aikInsaan | as much as i hate ie there are a few web apps i run that only work on IE | 00:21 |
| aikInsaan | that's why | 00:21 |
| KM0201 | aikInsaan: latest version of IE that i know of, that works on Linux, is IE 6, which is severely dated... | 00:22 |
| KM0201 | you can run it in playonlinux | 00:22 |
| Unit193 | That's a very old and bad/unsupported version | 00:23 |
| KM0201 | Unit193: thus my point | 00:24 |
| KM0201 | i'm not aware of anyway to make a current IE run in Linux (thankfully) | 00:24 |
| aikInsaan | hmm....thanks | 00:25 |
| aikInsaan | i am not too keen on IE either....gonna find a better alternative | 00:25 |
| Unit193 | Looks like a few versions of 8 are barely OK http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=25 | 00:27 |
| silverarrow | I have no problem with browsers, for everything except windows update or special microsoft functions | 00:28 |
| * phillw there are some spoofs available of ffox that allow IE versions to run, but I've not really played with them. I do still code for IE 6 exceptions in my web coding. | 00:28 | |
| Unit193 | UserAgentSwitcher? | 00:30 |
| phillw | Unit193: yes | 00:30 |
| phillw | Ffox can interperate IE6 stuff, or at least used to do, I think it has now been dropped in the recent Ffox releases. | 00:31 |
| phillw | aikInsaan: under the WINE system IE6 is rated as silver, which is not perfect but quite resonable. http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=469 | 00:34 |
| aikInsaan | phillw, yeah saw that...giving it a go | 00:35 |
| aikInsaan | lets see | 00:35 |
| phillw | aikInsaan: a small hint... use the rc of WINE, not the stable. | 00:36 |
| aikInsaan | rc? | 00:36 |
| Unit193 | This one? ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa | 00:37 |
| phillw | there is 'stable' WINE and the Release Candidate, I've always found WINE issues to be better sourced and responsive using the RC. | 00:37 |
| aikInsaan | hmm...thanks | 00:38 |
| phillw | aikInsaan: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=313 is the best place on *buntu systems to head for answers. | 00:39 |
| aikInsaan | thanks phillw that's very helpful...will look into em | 00:39 |

| hoodie-1 | i'm having issues with a java applet in chromium | 02:32 |
| hoodie-1 | i'm running lubuntu 11.04 | 02:32 |
| hoodie-1 | i have the latest iced tea and jre | 02:32 |
| hoodie-1 | the applet works, except most pop-ups | 02:32 |
| hoodie-1 | i enabled pop-ups | 02:33 |
| hoodie-1 | anyone have any ideas? | 02:33 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: what applet are you talking about? | 02:33 |
| hoodie-1 | anyone here?? | 02:33 |
| hoodie-1 | chat.parachat.com | 02:34 |
| hoodie-1 | the main chat window works... | 02:34 |
| hoodie-1 | but pm's don't work | 02:34 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: that will not be due to lubuntu | 02:35 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: more than likely the browser has a issue with it | 02:35 |
| hoodie-1 | it works in windows, i know that | 02:36 |
| hoodie-1 | i tried firefox in lubuntu | 02:36 |
| hoodie-1 | no luck | 02:36 |
| hoodie-1 | and opera as well | 02:36 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: seems to work fine for me in chromium | 02:38 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: did you try chromium in lubuntu? | 02:38 |
| hoodie-1 | that's my default | 02:38 |
| hoodie-1 | yes | 02:38 |
| hoodie-1 | fresh lubuntu install, updated, latest chromium, java jre, and iced tea | 02:40 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: can you give me the exact package name for the java you installed | 02:41 |
| hoodie-1 | ya 1 sec | 02:41 |
| Semitones_tea | hello | 02:42 |
| stlsaint | Semitones_tea: hello | 02:43 |
| Semitones_tea | i asked a question about how to bring up Grub if holding shift wasn't working | 02:44 |
| Semitones_tea | did anyone answer that? | 02:44 |
| hoodie-1 | icedtea-plugin ... and... | 02:45 |
| stlsaint | Semitones_tea: did you edit grub to show a timeout? | 02:45 |
| hoodie-1 | openjdk-6-jre | 02:45 |
| Semitones_tea | my cd drive is broken so I can't go in and change it that way | 02:45 |
| hoodie-1 | and dependencies for both | 02:45 |
| Semitones_tea | and I think the computer needs an IDE cdrom drive, I don't know if those are still made | 02:45 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: i dont have that icedtea plugin nor is it in my repositories (official ubuntu ones) | 02:47 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: i do have the 6-jre installed but thats it and i can access that site just fine | 02:47 |
| hoodie-1 | do pm's work? | 02:48 |
| stlsaint | Semitones_tea: you can edit grub thru the live install | 02:48 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: one sec | 02:48 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: ah on second view i see the plugin | 02:49 |
| stlsaint | icedtea one, it must ask me to run though | 02:49 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: how are pm's performed? | 02:50 |
| hoodie-1 | idk | 02:50 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: so how do you know they do not work? | 02:51 |
| Semitones_tea | stlsaint, I can't see how to do the live install though without a cd drive | 02:51 |
| hoodie-1 | when i try to send a private message, no little window loads | 02:51 |
| stlsaint | Semitones_tea: ok your asking how to get to grub which means you have a distro installed yes? | 02:52 |
| hoodie-1 | i got a little pop-up window from the parachat software once, but it was just an informational message | 02:52 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: how do you try sending private messages? | 02:52 |
| hoodie-1 | double-click on a nickname, or right click and select 'send pm' or however it's worded | 02:53 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: are you in there right now? what is your nick? | 02:53 |
| hoodie-1 | i'll go | 02:53 |
| stlsaint | a pm window popped up for me just now | 02:54 |
| hoodie-1 | what os/browser? | 02:54 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: ubuntu 10.04/chromium | 02:54 |
| hoodie-1 | i tried to find lubuntu 10.04, but it was kinda hard | 02:55 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: honestly i dont understand the point of that room | 02:55 |
| hoodie-1 | so i gave in and got 11.04 | 02:55 |
| stlsaint | random non-sense is all i see | 02:55 |
| hoodie-1 | there's a different room | 02:55 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: lubuntu 10.04 is on the main downloads page | 02:55 |
| hoodie-1 | 'over-25' it's usually called | 02:55 |
| Semitones_tea | stlsaint, yes, what happens is the Lubuntu splash screen pops up for a second, then I get an "startlxde not found, falling back" type error, then nothing except a pointer. | 02:56 |
| Semitones_tea | stlsaint, if I try to access a virtual terminal, the monitor says "frequency out of range" and I can't switch back to f8 either | 02:57 |
| stlsaint | Semitones_tea: that sounds like a xorg issue | 02:57 |
| stlsaint | Semitones_tea: i must leave for now but if you join the channel #ubuntu-beginners they will be able to continue helping you | 02:58 |
| stlsaint | Semitones_tea: just explain what is going on | 02:58 |
| Semitones_tea | ok thanks | 02:58 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: i would suggest putting lubuntu 10.04 on a usb drive or a install medium and try it live with that site | 02:58 |
| hoodie-1 | what url do u have for 10.04? | 03:00 |
| stlsaint | hoodie-1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu#Downloading Lubuntu | 03:02 |
| hoodie-1 | yea i think i'll give 10.04 a try | 03:11 |
| === semitones_blehbl is now known as semitones_ | ||
| semitones_ | ok this is the error I was getting: x session: unable to launch "startlxde" X session -- "startlxde" not found; falling back to the default session. (okay) | 03:45 |

| bignono1 | am using lubuntu 11.04 on a fujitsu siemens esprimo laptop and having a problem with the touchpad ,it is working ok except when i open a folder i canr open click any icon inside,please help | 07:24 |
| bignono1 | if i click an icon on the desktop it will open tho but icons inside a folder need to be opened by right click and choosing open or by the keyboard | 07:26 |
| bignono1 | thanks anyway | 07:45 |
| === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D | ||
| bignono1 | how can i put an icon on the desktop? | 13:40 |
| phillw | bignono1: if you right click it, you will the option 'add to desktop' | 13:47 |
| phillw | *will see the* | 13:47 |
| EagleScreen | I installed Kubuntu in one PC, it was a few slowly, then I decided to instal LXDE by installing lubuntu-desktop metapackage and all its dependencies, the result was an usable LXDE enviroment but without the Lubuntu default arkwork, it has LXDE upstream artkwork instead | 13:53 |
| phillw | EagleScreen: when you boot, is there the option to select kubuntu / lxde / lubuntu? From memory (and I could well be wrong), you get the option for lxde and lubuntu. Ensure you select lubuntu. | 14:06 |
| EagleScreen | lubuntu will apply the lubuntu arkrowk? I will check it later | 14:07 |
| phillw | it should do. I have seen this discussed before, but cannot fully recall what was said. No doubt one of the support guys has a better memory than me :) | 14:08 |
| EagleScreen | then what is Lxde one added for? | 14:09 |
| EagleScreen | has it any sense? | 14:09 |
| phillw | I think it comes in when you add lubuntu to an existing installation. | 14:09 |
| phillw | I'm just looking through my logs now to see if I can find the discussion on it. | 14:10 |
| EagleScreen | another question: how to create an applicatio launcher on the desktop? | 14:11 |
| phillw | application launcher is discussed in depth at the thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1492980 | 14:16 |
| EagleScreen | so I must copy an edited .desktop file | 14:23 |
| EagleScreen | . | 14:23 |
| EagleScreen | I hope lxde implememnts an easier way to add a laucher to the desktop | 14:26 |
| semitones_ | hey everyone | 14:29 |
| semitones_ | I installed lubuntu yesterday, but I can't get boot to come up, all I get is boot rescue | 14:30 |
| semitones_ | I read on ubuntuforums that sometimes old bioses can't boot kernels off of a partition bigger than 8gb | 14:30 |
| semitones_ | so I guess I'll make a boot partition. Does anyone know how to move /boot to a new ext2 partition, and then tell the operating system that it lives there from now on? | 14:31 |
| phillw | semitones http://tekguru.wordpress.com/2007/09/04/howto-moving-boot-to-its-own-partition/ | 14:42 |
| phillw | looks like that's what you're after :) | 14:43 |
| phillw | although we use ext4 these days (that was written pre ext4) | 14:44 |
| bignono1 | phillw: when i right click i dont get add to desktop | 14:56 |
| phillw | bignono1: which icon do you want to add? | 14:57 |
| bignono1 | i only get to change the desktop and wallpaper | 14:57 |
| bignono1 | any icon | 14:57 |
| phillw | bignono1: you right click on the launch icon of the app you want to add... Use the start menu to get to the application you want, then right-click on that. | 14:58 |
| bignono1 | when i right click on a program on the meno nothing pups out | 14:58 |
| phillw | try using your mouse to.. Start, Office and then highlight AbiWord. Once AbiWord is highlighted right click on it. | 15:02 |
| bignono1 | nothing | 15:03 |
| phillw | which version of lubuntu are you using? | 15:04 |
| bignono1 | 11.04 | 15:04 |
| bignono1 | and ran the updates also | 15:04 |
| phillw | I am at a loss, I've just fired 11.04 up and it works fine for me :/ | 15:06 |
| bignono1 | maybe my synaptics update manager needs some fixing | 15:06 |
| phillw | that functionality has nothing to do with update manager. | 15:07 |
| bignono1 | idk when i was using ubuntu everything was ok | 15:07 |
| bignono1 | and running off lubuntu cd is somhow better than the install | 15:08 |
| bignono1 | somewhat | 15:08 |
| phillw | I can only guess the install did not fully work. | 15:09 |
| bignono1 | shuoldnt i get some warnning in that case? | 15:10 |
| bignono1 | thanks anyway phillw | 15:12 |
| bignono1 | i'll keep trying | 15:12 |
| bignono1 | phillw: got it now after a reboot | 15:26 |
| phillw | bignono1: good... I'm still very puzzled though! | 15:26 |
| bignono1 | but one thing is missing tho , clicking on an icon will not open it , must use the keyboard after highlighting | 15:27 |
| bignono1 | using touchpad , lapy | 15:27 |
| phillw | hmm, again, odd. works fine for me (also on laptop with touch-pad) | 15:28 |
| bignono1 | where is the folder to set the touch pad ? | 15:28 |
| bignono1 | it is not in /etc | 15:29 |
| bignono1 | i can close a window , restore and minimize tho | 15:30 |
| phillw | I don't know, I ave never had to alter any settings for my touch-pad. | 15:30 |
| semitones_ | do you think I should report a bug in the installer? | 15:38 |
| semitones_ | to keep people from making the same mistake i did | 15:39 |
| semitones_ | installer should check for old bios and big hard drive combination | 15:39 |
| phillw | semitones does it work now? | 16:12 |
