[07:31] How can i change the meta key alt of terminal so that it does not interfere with other application's metatag ? [07:32] for example? [07:32] 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] ahhh [07:33] ditch that lxterminal and install rxvt-unicode ;) [07:33] like most of us does [07:35] bioterror: is it better than lxterminal ? [07:35] I can share my .Xdefaults so that you can get nice gnome-terminals tango theme for colors [07:35] bioterror: that would be great, thanks [07:35] put your apt-get working [07:36] http://ricecows.org/Xdefaults [07:36] wget that [07:36] and rename to .Xdefaults [07:36] bioterror: ok, thanks [07:36] then: xrdb -merge .Xdefaults [07:36] and your urxvt is ready to roll [07:37] bioterror: does it support tabs ? [07:38] nope, but it's still better ;) [07:43] bioterror: there is one other called terminator [07:43] sure there is [07:43] bioterror: is it any good ? [07:43] I did not like it [07:49] bioterror: just out of curiosity, whats the benefits of urxvt over lxterminal ? [07:49] your precious meta key [07:51] bioterror: apart from that ? [08:46] no thanks :( [08:58] ;[ [12:13] my audio is not working [12:13] how to fix or configure?

[14:46] ls lists nothing [14:47] cd .. [14:47] ls [14:47] lists seemingly normal reps [14:47] so disk should be ok [14:48] isnt ? [14:49] somebody ? [14:49] no idea :| [14:49] i am no expert [14:50] i got a ubuntu disk there [14:50] would installing it erase documents ? [14:50] lubuntu says ubuntu 10.10 [14:51] Maybe. Could probably start it as a live CD though? [14:51] I have no idea anyway :/ [14:51] i will try [14:52] may be chance (?) it is same version [14:52] i could try to save docs [14:53] what is the command for getting disk space used recursively in a rep ?

[15:29] add the lubuntu-restricted-extras meta [18:01] hi... I went to http://lubuntu.net/ and when I click on "get lubuntu" it gives me Page not found [18:12] b3nw, hang on, checking it. [18:13] b3nw, this is the 32bit, 11.04 ISO... http://phillw.net/lubuntu-11.04.iso [18:13] not really sure what is wrong w/ lubuntu.net tell phillw if you see him [18:13] b3nw, fwiw, thats also the live cd. [18:20] ya, I found it [18:20] but figured i'd let someone know [18:20] ty [18:29] 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] 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] phillw: lol, ok... i figured you'd at least know who to contact [19:05] I did try to alter it, bit with no experience, I'm more wary of breaking it! [19:06] yeah [19:06] ii found him th elink anyway, no biggie [19:32] KM0201: it is on the topic on this page, but no-one ever reads them :P [19:33] phillw: lmao. === ChanServ changed the topic of #lubuntu to: Welcome to #lubuntu https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu || Download Lubuntu at http://tinyurl.com/GetLubuntu || Need help? http://tinyurl.com/LubuntuDocumentation || Please use #lubuntu-offtopic for general chat || Always follow the channel guidelines - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [19:40] jmarsden: are you familar with drupal?

[21:30] aaas: i havent tried sorry [21:31] 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] *t [21:32] aaas: it runs fine in mine [21:32] hmmm...windows 7 host? [21:32] aaas: you trying this with ubuntu or lubuntu? [21:32] windows 7 host [21:32] lubuntu guest [21:33] nope, no windows here man [21:33] aaas: I use Oracle VM under linux, sorry - I've never tried Windows :( [21:36] I run Lubuntu in Virtualbox under Windows 7 at work and it is fine. "complaints about unity" ? Lubuntu does not include unity. [21:36] yeah ...strange huh [21:36] im trying again [21:36] Please post the *exact* error message . [21:36] took forever to boot [21:37] now straight black [21:38] it has enought ubuntu architecture..it now says "welcome to UBUNTU" [21:38] but it was booting as "LUBUNTU" [21:38] so its not a strech that there might be some word of unity somewhere [21:38] aaas: Lubuntu is a flavour of Ubuntu. What is your point? [21:38] ubuntu has unity [21:39] it says 'ubuntu' [21:39] As one of its developers, I am pretty sure Unity is not included in Lubuntu 11.04 :) [21:39] so its not unreasionable that it may have an error regarding unity [21:39] im sure it's not [21:39] but are you certain the word 'unity' is no where in the codebase? [21:40] I could scan it, but it doesn't seem worth the time. Can you provide the exact error message for me? [21:40] sure.. [21:40] im trying to do an 'install' without doing it through live [21:40] if it doesn't work..ill get the error [21:43] ahh it was 'ubiquity' [21:44] 'sorry the program ubiquity closed unexpectedly' [21:44] this happens on win7 [21:44] 32bit [21:44] and 64 [21:44] aaas: not my favourite thing :P [21:44] with virtualbox [21:44] newest version [21:45] ubiq causes issues for lubuntu. a little too greedy for our target systems :( [21:45] OK. Ubiquity is the GUI installer program being used. Wait... "newest version" as it a daily ISO of Lubuntu 11.10 Oneiric?? [21:45] no newest version of virtualbox [21:46] im using 11.04 of lubuntu [21:46] 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] >256 <512 [21:47] and 1gb on the 64bit machine [21:47] but i can try again [21:47] sorry scratch that [21:47] 256 on the 64bit machine [21:47] OK. 384MB and up should be fine. 256MB or so causes known issues in the installer. [21:47] ill try again [21:47] I have 2GB allocated to mine... :) [21:48] 256MB will not work :( [21:49] is it jsut the install that has this limitation? can it run on 256 [21:49] Correct. You should be able to run in 256MB once installed. [21:50] trying now [21:50] your'e not installing 64bit are you? [21:50] that seems kinda pointless w/ only 256mb of ram [21:50] i dont think so [21:50] do they have a 64bit version? [21:51] There is an unofficial 64bit ISO. Read the /topic for a link to the GetLubuntu page... [21:53] aaas: but w/ only 256mb of ram, it tmakes very very little sense [21:53] im pretty sure its 32bit [21:54] 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] no 32bit on a 64bit machine [21:54] aaas: Allocate your VM more RAM and retry the installation. [21:54] but actually im installing on 32bit..that was only for a test [21:55] its running...on a slow eee 1000h atom [21:56] 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] ok running 'live' brings me to 'welcome to ubuntu 11.04' command prompt it doesnt make it to the desktop [21:56] you can boot the live CD several times (to test, etc..)it's not like you have to install it. [21:57] I have ~400 meg allocated [21:57] (theres only 1gig on this netbook i think) [21:58] aaas: that system is just o limited (IMO) to reliably run two OS's... again, why not just boot a USB? [21:59] or cd [21:59] no cd drive [21:59] and i dont see how a usb would make things better [21:59] ok, then live usb. [21:59] ah you mean as it own [21:59] 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] aaas: Because you are then not running Windows underneath Lubuntu :) [21:59] well i need windows at the same time [21:59] why? [22:00] Then you need more RAM, or a lot of luck. [22:00] access to acrobat [22:00] im hoping for the later [22:00] aaas: ... you do realize Lubuntu has a PDF reader by default don't you? it's called Evince.. [22:00] aaas: Run the Windows stuff on the other 64bit box and access it across the network? rdesktop or whatever? [22:00] i need acrobat features [22:00] no this is for vacation [22:00] aaas: then install adobe acrobat reader for linux... it's not that difficult [22:01] You need two OSes and special Acrobat features... for a vacation? :) [22:01] jmarsden: sure smells trollish. [22:01] that supports portfolios, inking, editing, etc.. [22:01] long story but i could get into it if you want [22:02] 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] ok [22:02] 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] one thing for sure, it was harder to push. [22:03] sorry i have to catch up to that analogy ;) [22:03] looks like dual boot might be my only option [22:03] aaas: think about it.. :) [22:03] aaas: dual boot is your best option, yes. [22:07] aaas: there are not too many pdf functions not available in linux now. [22:07] I have a fully licensed (and expensive) one for the Mac, I never need it these days. [22:08] phillw: well i need a good inking program...I use pdf annotator a lot [22:08] i also use the portfolio feature of acrobat and its cleartext ocr [22:09] 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] i think he said 'not available' [22:09] someone's getting defensive ;0 [22:10] Ah, I missed the second "not" :) [22:10] aaas: have a quick read of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575308 that was the fastest I could find for you. [22:10] well i was thining more digital ink [22:11] * phillw slaps jmarsden with a wet kipper :P [22:11] 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] 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] it doesn't have digital ink [22:14] its ok..pdf annotaor is great [22:14] it jsut doesn't have autosave [22:15] but i convinced the devs to implement it ;)
