[07:31] <jita> How can i change the meta key alt of terminal so that it does not interfere with other application's metatag ?
[07:32] <bioterror> for example?
[07:32] <jita> bioterror: like irssi uses alt+number to change the channels. But in lxterminal, it changes the tabs of lxterminal instead of irssi's
[07:33] <bioterror> ahhh
[07:33] <bioterror> ditch that lxterminal and install rxvt-unicode ;)
[07:33] <bioterror> like most of us does
[07:35] <jita> bioterror: is it better than lxterminal ?
[07:35] <bioterror> I can share my .Xdefaults so that you can get nice gnome-terminals tango theme for colors
[07:35] <jita> bioterror: that would be great, thanks
[07:35] <bioterror> put your apt-get working
[07:36] <bioterror> http://ricecows.org/Xdefaults
[07:36] <bioterror> wget that
[07:36] <bioterror> and rename to .Xdefaults
[07:36] <jita> bioterror: ok, thanks
[07:36] <bioterror> then: xrdb -merge .Xdefaults
[07:36] <bioterror> and your urxvt is ready to roll
[07:37] <jita> bioterror: does it support tabs ?
[07:38] <bioterror> nope, but it's still better ;)
[07:43] <jita> bioterror: there is one other called terminator
[07:43] <bioterror> sure there is
[07:43] <jita> bioterror: is it any good ?
[07:43] <bioterror> I did not like it
[07:49] <jita> bioterror: just out of curiosity, whats the benefits of urxvt over lxterminal ?
[07:49] <bioterror> your precious meta key
[07:51] <jita> bioterror: apart from that ?
[08:46] <bioterror> no thanks :(

[12:13] <Valentinex> my audio is not working
[12:13] <Valentinex> how to fix or configure?
[12:15] <Valentinex> how to open volume control settings?
[14:39] <JLUC> hello
[14:39] <JLUC> it seems my lubuntu is badly out of order
[14:40] <JLUC> when booting grup proposes several options none working
[14:41] <JLUC> messsage says disk not ready or not there
[14:41] <JLUC> might be material failure
[14:43] <JLUC> i can S to not mount or M to recover
[14:43] <JLUC> manually
[14:43] <JLUC> S says "plymouth  command failed"
[14:43] <JLUC> dunno what all this are
[14:43] <JLUC> is
[14:44] <JLUC> and finishes on empty screen blinking cursor
[14:45] <JLUC> if 'M' then i enter a command shell
[14:45] <JLUC> what to do there ?
[14:46] <JLUC> ls lists nothing
[14:47] <JLUC> cd ..
[14:47] <JLUC> ls
[14:47] <JLUC> lists seemingly normal reps
[14:47] <JLUC> so disk should be ok
[14:48] <JLUC> isnt ?
[14:49] <JLUC> somebody ?
[14:49] <Hoaas> no idea :|
[14:49] <JLUC> i am no expert
[14:50] <JLUC> i got a ubuntu disk there
[14:50] <JLUC> would installing it erase documents ?
[14:50] <JLUC> lubuntu says ubuntu 10.10
[14:51] <Hoaas> Maybe. Could probably start it as a live CD though?
[14:51] <Hoaas> I have no idea anyway :/
[14:51] <JLUC> i will try
[14:52] <JLUC> may be chance (?) it is same version
[14:52] <JLUC> i could try to save docs
[14:53] <JLUC> what is the command for getting disk space used recursively in a rep ?
[14:53] <JLUC> oh du
[15:16] <Valentinex> no sound in my lubuntu, how to change sound settings?
[15:28] <Valentinex> how to install mp3 codecs etc in my lubuntu?
[15:29] <phillw> add the lubuntu-restricted-extras meta
[18:01] <b3nw> hi... I went to http://lubuntu.net/ and when I click on "get lubuntu" it gives me Page not found
[18:12] <KM0201> b3nw, hang on, checking it.
[18:13] <KM0201> b3nw, this is the 32bit, 11.04 ISO...   http://phillw.net/lubuntu-11.04.iso
[18:13] <KM0201> not really sure what is wrong w/ lubuntu.net   tell phillw if you see him
[18:13] <KM0201> b3nw, fwiw, thats also the live cd.
[18:20] <b3nw> ya, I found it
[18:20] <b3nw> but figured i'd let someone know
[18:20] <b3nw> ty
[18:29] <jmarsden> The /TOPIC of this channel gives http://tinyurl.com/GetLubuntu as the place to go to get Lubuntu.  It works.  There is a broken link on the lubuntu.net site, but the link immediately underneath it works fine...
[19:04] <phillw> KM0201: b3nw I do have an outstanding email to their web-master, whilst I do have admin access I have exactly zero knowledge of Drupal which lubuntu.net is built with :(
[19:05] <KM0201> phillw: lol, ok... i figured you'd at least know who to contact
[19:05] <phillw> I did try to alter it, bit with no experience, I'm more wary of breaking it!
[19:06] <KM0201> yeah
[19:06] <KM0201> ii found him th elink anyway, no biggie
[19:32] <phillw> KM0201: it is on the topic on this page, but no-one ever reads them :P
[19:33] <KM0201> phillw: lmao.
[19:40] <phillw> jmarsden: are you familar with drupal?
[19:40] <jmarsden> Yes... not used it "for real" but I have installed it for others...
[21:29] <aaas> anyone get 11.04 working with virtualbox?
[21:30] <stlsaint> aaas: i havent tried sorry
[21:31] <aaas> if i start live I get complaints about unity when i try and install from the icon...straight install boots to a command promp
[21:31] <aaas> *t
[21:32] <phillw> aaas: it runs fine in mine
[21:32] <aaas> hmmm...windows 7 host?
[21:32] <stlsaint> aaas: you trying this with ubuntu or lubuntu?
[21:32] <aaas> windows 7 host
[21:32] <aaas> lubuntu guest
[21:33] <stlsaint> nope, no windows here man
[21:33] <phillw> aaas: I use Oracle VM under linux, sorry - I've never tried Windows :(
[21:36] <jmarsden> I run Lubuntu in Virtualbox under Windows 7 at work and it is fine.  "complaints about unity" ?  Lubuntu does not include unity.
[21:36] <aaas> yeah ...strange huh
[21:36] <aaas> im trying again
[21:36] <jmarsden> Please post the *exact* error message .
[21:36] <aaas> took forever to boot
[21:37] <aaas> now straight black
[21:38] <aaas> it has enought ubuntu architecture..it now says "welcome to UBUNTU"
[21:38] <aaas> but it was booting as "LUBUNTU"
[21:38] <aaas> so its not a strech that there might be some word of unity somewhere
[21:38] <jmarsden> aaas: Lubuntu is a flavour of Ubuntu.  What is your point?
[21:38] <aaas> ubuntu has unity
[21:39] <aaas> it says 'ubuntu'
[21:39] <jmarsden> As one of its developers, I am pretty sure Unity is not included in Lubuntu 11.04 :)
[21:39] <aaas> so its not unreasionable that it may have an error regarding unity
[21:39] <aaas> im sure it's not
[21:39] <aaas> but are you certain the word 'unity' is no where in the codebase?
[21:40] <jmarsden> I could scan it, but it doesn't seem worth the time.  Can you provide the exact error message for me?
[21:40] <aaas> sure..
[21:40] <aaas> im trying to do an 'install' without doing it through live
[21:40] <aaas> if it doesn't work..ill get the error
[21:43] <aaas> ahh it was 'ubiquity'
[21:44] <aaas> 'sorry the program ubiquity closed unexpectedly'
[21:44] <aaas> this happens on win7
[21:44] <aaas> 32bit
[21:44] <aaas> and 64
[21:44] <phillw> aaas: not my favourite thing :P
[21:44] <aaas> with virtualbox
[21:44] <aaas> newest version
[21:45] <phillw> ubiq causes issues for lubuntu. a little too greedy for our target systems :(
[21:45] <jmarsden> OK.  Ubiquity is the GUI installer program being used.  Wait... "newest version" as it a daily ISO of Lubuntu 11.10 Oneiric??
[21:45] <aaas> no newest version of virtualbox
[21:46] <aaas> im using 11.04 of lubuntu
[21:46] <jmarsden> OK.  I have 4.0.12 at work and Lubuntu 11.04 from the official lubuntu-11.04.iso file.  Works for me.  How much RAM did you allocate to the Lubuntu VM?
[21:46] <aaas> >256 <512
[21:47] <aaas> and 1gb on the 64bit machine
[21:47] <aaas> but i can try again
[21:47] <aaas> sorry scratch that
[21:47] <aaas> 256 on the 64bit machine
[21:47] <jmarsden> OK.  384MB and up should be fine. 256MB or so causes known issues in the installer.
[21:47] <aaas> ill try again
[21:47] <jmarsden> I have 2GB allocated to mine... :)
[21:48] <phillw> 256MB will not work :(
[21:49] <aaas> is it jsut the install that has this limitation? can it run on 256
[21:49] <jmarsden> Correct.  You should be able to run in 256MB once installed.
[21:50] <aaas> trying now
[21:50] <KM0201> your'e not installing 64bit are you?
[21:50] <KM0201> that seems kinda pointless w/ only 256mb of ram
[21:50] <aaas> i dont think so
[21:50] <aaas> do they have a 64bit version?
[21:51] <jmarsden> There is an unofficial 64bit ISO.  Read the /topic for a link to the GetLubuntu page...
[21:53] <KM0201> aaas: but w/ only 256mb of ram, it tmakes very very little sense
[21:53] <aaas> im pretty sure its 32bit
[21:54] <KM0201> aaas: oh ok, well you said 256mb on a 64bit machine, a few minutes ago.. so i thought you wer elooking to install 64bit
[21:54] <aaas> no 32bit on a 64bit machine
[21:54] <jmarsden> aaas: Allocate your VM more RAM and retry the installation.
[21:54] <aaas> but actually im installing on 32bit..that was only for a test
[21:55] <aaas> its running...on a slow eee 1000h atom
[21:56] <KM0201> why don't you just boot a live USB, rather than trying to do this in VM, on a machine w/ such limited resources?
[21:56] <aaas> ok running 'live' brings me to 'welcome to ubuntu 11.04' command prompt it doesnt make it to the desktop
[21:56] <KM0201> you can boot the live CD several times (to test, etc..)it's not like you have to install it.
[21:57] <aaas> I have ~400 meg allocated
[21:57] <aaas> (theres only 1gig on this netbook i think)
[21:58] <KM0201> aaas: that system is just o limited (IMO) to reliably run two OS's... again, why not just boot a USB?
[21:59] <KM0201> or cd
[21:59] <aaas> no cd drive
[21:59] <aaas> and i dont see how a usb would make things better
[21:59] <KM0201> ok, then live usb.
[21:59] <aaas> ah you mean as it own
[21:59] <KM0201> uh, .. cuz you can boot the usb.. and running two OS's, is a lot harder on a system w/ limited ram, than running 1.
[21:59] <jmarsden> aaas: Because you are then not running Windows underneath Lubuntu :)
[21:59] <aaas> well i need windows at the same time
[21:59] <KM0201> why?
[22:00] <jmarsden> Then you need more RAM, or a lot of luck.
[22:00] <aaas> access to acrobat
[22:00] <aaas> im hoping for the later
[22:00] <KM0201> aaas: ... you do realize Lubuntu has a PDF reader by default don't you?  it's called Evince..
[22:00] <jmarsden> aaas: Run the Windows stuff on the other 64bit box and access it across the network?  rdesktop or whatever?
[22:00] <aaas> i need acrobat features
[22:00] <aaas> no this is for vacation
[22:00] <KM0201> aaas: then install adobe acrobat reader for linux... it's not that difficult
[22:01] <jmarsden> You need two OSes and special Acrobat features... for a vacation? :)
[22:01] <KM0201> jmarsden: sure smells trollish.
[22:01] <aaas> that supports portfolios, inking, editing, etc..
[22:01] <aaas> long story but i could get into it if you want
[22:02] <KM0201> aaas: naa, but i can tell you one thing, running 2 OS's, on a machine w/ specs that are that limited, is not going to be very successful.
[22:02] <aaas> ok
[22:02] <KM0201> fred flinstone didn't think he wouldn't have to push his car w/ his feet, if he put a porche engine in the front..
[22:02] <KM0201> one thing for sure, it was harder to push.
[22:03] <aaas> sorry i have to catch up to that analogy ;)
[22:03] <aaas> looks like dual boot might be my only option
[22:03] <KM0201> aaas: think about it.. :)
[22:03] <KM0201> aaas: dual boot is your best option, yes.
[22:07] <phillw> aaas: there are not too many pdf functions not available in linux now.
[22:07] <phillw> I have a fully licensed (and expensive) one for the Mac, I never need it these days.
[22:08] <aaas> phillw: well i need a good inking program...I use pdf annotator a lot
[22:08] <aaas> i also use the portfolio feature of acrobat and its cleartext ocr
[22:09] <jmarsden> phillw: "Not too many"?  All of these are free in Linux: pdf2dsc pdfatfi pdfetex pdfinfo pdflatex pdfopt pdftexi2dvi pdftoppm pdftotext pdf2ps pdfclose pdffonts pdfjadetex pdfnup pdfroff pdftoabw pdftops pdf90 pdfcrop pdfimages pdfjoin pdfopen pdftex pdftohtml pdftosrc
[22:09] <aaas> i think he said 'not available'
[22:09] <aaas> someone's getting defensive ;0
[22:10] <jmarsden> Ah, I missed the second "not" :)
[22:10] <phillw> aaas: have a quick read of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575308 that was the fastest I could find for you.
[22:10] <aaas> well i was thining more digital ink
[22:11]  * phillw slaps jmarsden with a wet kipper :P
[22:11] <aaas> i prefer two comptuers with windows and linux I don't have any limitations that way ;)
[22:11]  * jmarsden grills the kipper and eats it for berakfast :)
[22:13] <phillw> aaas: google is your friend, just use the + in front of requiremements... a quick one with digital link gave me http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-non-adobe-pdf-reader.htm I take a while to narrow things down :)
[22:14] <aaas> it doesn't have digital ink
[22:14] <aaas> its ok..pdf annotaor is great
[22:14] <aaas> it jsut doesn't have autosave
[22:15] <aaas> but i convinced the devs to implement it ;)
