| keithclark | Is it possible to run lubuntu from a usb stick with broadcom wireless active without a wired connection? | 03:24 |
| keithclark | Is it even available in live usb format? | 03:27 |
| keithclark | Hello? | 03:29 |
| bodhizazen | 'lo keithclark | 03:29 |
| keithclark | Hey, any ideas to my questions above? | 03:31 |
| bodhizazen | I just joined and so the only question from you I see is "Hello?" | 03:36 |
| keithclark | Is it possible to run lubuntu from a usb stick with broadcom wireless active without a wired connection? | 03:38 |
| keithclark | If it did, that would be a kick ass distro | 03:42 |
| bodhizazen | does lubuntu recognize the wireless card ? | 04:10 |
| bioterror | broadcoms are 50/60 | 04:15 |
| bioterror | they might work, or not | 04:15 |
| bioterror | if it's BCM43xx | 04:15 |
| KM0201 | man, i love it when people just vanish..lol, most broadcoms (in my experience) are pretty easy to set up.. so long as they aren't those stupid "lp-phy" devices. | 05:23 |
| me-1 | hi...does Lubuntu 11.04 has all media codecs..?? | 06:58 |
| bioterror | if you install VLC, it will have most of them ;) | 06:59 |
| me-1 | bioterror, actully lubuntu 10.04 have almost all media codecs | 07:00 |
| me-1 | I like the idea of having media codecs so that i can pass lubuntu to my friend who dont have internet | 07:01 |
| bioterror | same media player in 11.04 than in 10.10 | 07:05 |
| dean | Hey all could someone tell me if there is a way to get more wallpapers in Lubuntu the one included is a bit plain lol | 12:15 |
| dean | No one lol | 12:16 |
| bioterror | dean, lol check google image search lol | 12:19 |
| bioterror | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Artwork and ofcourse | 12:20 |
| dean | google image search? | 12:21 |
| dean | How do you change the menu bar at the bottom? | 12:22 |
| dean | I've only just installed Lubuntu like it but theres lack of personalisation | 12:25 |
| dean | Hey does anyone know to refresh the menu bar I have made a mess of it? | 12:29 |
| alister | salve, c'รจ qualcuno che parla italiano? o mi devo cimentare con l'inglese? :) | 12:34 |
| alister | come modifico ( su latop) le impostazioni quando su chiude il coperchio? se volessi mettere solo lo spegnimento dello schermo e non lo stand-by come dovrei fare? | 12:38 |
| alister | how do I change the battery settings? | 12:55 |
| alister | please help | 12:59 |
| bioterror | alister, unplug your power cable | 13:03 |
| bioterror | you will get that battery icon | 13:03 |
| bioterror | :-) | 13:03 |
| bioterror | you can then click it | 13:03 |
| alister | oh thx | 13:05 |
| bioterror | make it to show icon always ;) | 13:05 |
| alister | and it is possible change notebook cover settings? | 13:05 |
| bioterror | I dunno why that's not default setting | 13:05 |
| bioterror | notebook what settings? | 13:06 |
| alister | when i close the cover (uhm... lid? cap?) | 13:06 |
| bioterror | yes | 13:07 |
| bioterror | from that same place | 13:07 |
| bioterror | you can choose suspend, hibernate or do nothing | 13:07 |
| bioterror | suspend is my favourite | 13:07 |
| alister | but i have a problem, the battery life is gone and if i unplugg the cable my pc turn off, so i can't see the battery icon | 13:08 |
| alister | there is another way? | 13:08 |
| bioterror | no power settings in "start" menu? | 13:09 |
| alister | no | 13:10 |
| alister | maybe with gconf-editor? | 13:38 |
| bioterror | open terminal or what ever you want to use and launch gnome-power-applet or what was it | 13:40 |
| bioterror | I dont have a lubuntu laptop near me :D | 13:41 |
| bioterror | just a moment | 13:41 |
| bioterror | gnome-power-preferences | 13:41 |
| alister | yuu! | 13:42 |
| alister | perfect | 13:42 |
| alister | it's possibile create a icon launcher on desktop? | 13:42 |
| bioterror | yes it is | 13:42 |
| alister | thank you very very much | 13:44 |
| bioterror | there's couple of ways doing it | 13:44 |
| bioterror | use lxshortcut or make yourself a .desktop -file | 13:45 |
| alister | oh perfect there is a option to put the icon battery on the status bar | 13:46 |
| alister | for ever! | 13:46 |
| leszek | hi | 14:32 |
| phillw | wb leszek :) | 14:37 |
| leszek | thx ;) | 14:44 |
| === micahg_ is now known as micahg | ||
| leszek | anyone wants to test out a special pcmanfm version with lxshortcut integration ? | 15:08 |
| phillw | leszek: yeah, sure... I can run it in VM if jmarsden is not about, but you will have to talk me through installing it. | 15:18 |
| leszek | phillw: I have a direct link if you want to install the deb directly: http://178.202.176.223/repo/pool/main/p/pcmanfm/pcmanfm_0.9.8-neptune1_i386.deb | 15:21 |
| phillw | is it for 11.10? | 15:21 |
| leszek | It should work fine on natty | 15:21 |
| leszek | or above I guess | 15:21 |
| leszek | though the pcmanfm I patched is a little bit outdated xD | 15:21 |
| phillw | I'll fire up an Oneric session | 15:21 |
| leszek | :) | 15:21 |
| leszek | I need to figure out if my patch works with the newest versions aswell | 15:22 |
| phillw | leszek: as jmarsden is working on a 10.04.3 I'd look towards backporting it there. As long as it runs on 11.04 and 11.10, it should be fine? | 15:23 |
| leszek | it should work fine | 15:23 |
| leszek | but pcmanfm then has also a new lxshortcut dependency | 15:24 |
| phillw | I'm just updating my 11.10 installation (there are always lots of updates to fix stuff I didn't even realise was broken!) | 15:25 |
| leszek | yeah thats true ;) | 15:25 |
| phillw | GSteamer from the 'bad' set --- yikes! | 15:26 |
| leszek | :) | 15:27 |
| phillw | it always makes my heart sink a little when they update apt | 15:27 |
| phillw | they mess that up an we're all up the creek with no paddle! | 15:28 |
| leszek | luckily normally an older apt version is stored in the cache or cd ;) | 15:29 |
| phillw | leszek: be patient... it has got the updates (not a fast link here and it is a VM) | 15:31 |
| phillw | leszek: how comes you do run VM for testing? | 15:32 |
| phillw | *do not run* | 15:32 |
| leszek | I am running the vm for testing | 15:33 |
| phillw | leszek: coo. you may be able to teach me how to get mine running correctly :P | 15:39 |
| leszek | :) | 15:39 |
| phillw | the add on for copying and paste stubbornly refuses to work :/ | 15:41 |
| phillw | leszek: it seems the currrent alpha now wants gnome library.... at least that is what firefox is dragging in.... I don't even run Ffox on my alpha :( | 15:47 |
| leszek | phillw: that might be, need to check the current daily | 15:49 |
| phillw | leszek: I'm on a slow speed out here in the countryside. I get used to being patient :D | 15:50 |
| leszek | :) | 15:50 |
| phillw | 4 hours for an iso :/ | 15:50 |
| phillw | leszek: once the standard 11.10 has gotten here, I'll zsync my daily for the other install. This could take a while! | 15:56 |
| leszek | :) | 15:57 |
| phillw | last time I zsync'd it, it downloaded it all from fresh :/ | 15:57 |
| leszek | lol | 15:57 |
| phillw | not at 256Mb/s it is not! | 15:58 |
| phillw-virtual | poke | 16:15 |
| phillw | (16:21:01) leszek: phillw: I have a direct link if you want to install the deb directly: http://178.202.176.223/repo/pool/main/p/pcmanfm/pcmanfm_0.9.8-neptune1_i386.deb | 16:15 |
| phillw-virtual | leszek: Grr... "A later version is already installed" | 16:21 |
| leszek | phillw-virtual: install it from the commandline with sudo dpkg -i | 16:23 |
| phillw-virtual | yeah.... now tell me how to tell it where the deb file is? | 16:23 |
| leszek | where you downloaded it basically | 16:24 |
| leszek | so for example sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/pcmanfm_0.9.8-neptune1_i386.deb if its in your download folder | 16:25 |
| phillw-virtual | lol, I have no idea where the default are is... let me go and look! | 16:25 |
| phillw-virtual | that worked... now what do want me to test? | 16:26 |
| phillw-virtual | leszek: can we swap over to -offtopic? I forget that this a logged channel! | 16:27 |
| leszek | relogon to use the new pcmanfm and then try right clicking -> New -> Shortcut to create a *.desktop shortcut | 16:27 |
| leszek | yeah ok | 16:27 |

| bioterror | hmmm | 19:30 |
| bioterror | there's do nothing? | 19:30 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: HELP | 19:32 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: my system says i need to install adobe but i already have it installed | 19:32 |
| bioterror | stlsaint, which adobe what where | 19:39 |
| stlsaint | onesec | 19:45 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: 10.3.183.4ubuntu0.10.04.1 | 19:47 |
| bioterror | are you talking about adobe flash? | 19:47 |
| bioterror | or reader | 19:47 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: thats flash plugin installer | 19:47 |
| stlsaint | flash | 19:47 |
| stlsaint | sorry | 19:47 |
| bioterror | and the browser is? | 19:47 |
| bioterror | chromium? | 19:48 |
| stlsaint | yep | 19:49 |
| bioterror | do you have that .so file in your /usr/lib/chromium/plugins/ | 19:49 |
| bioterror | if I remember path correctly | 19:49 |
| stlsaint | no its not there | 19:50 |
| stlsaint | usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins | 19:50 |
| stlsaint | is empty | 19:50 |
| bioterror | okay | 19:50 |
| bioterror | check your firefox/mozilla library | 19:50 |
| bioterror | if it has one | 19:50 |
| stlsaint | it has some but nothing for the adobe shared object | 19:51 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 19:53 |
| bioterror | purge that adobe installer | 19:53 |
| bioterror | or what ever it is | 19:53 |
| bioterror | and install it again | 19:53 |
| bioterror | rather than dpkg-reconfigure, as I think it wont solve that | 19:53 |
| bioterror | I would probably use flashplugin-nonfree | 19:53 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: yea that is what i did already, still fscked up | 19:54 |
| bioterror | hmm | 19:54 |
| bioterror | $ ls /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ | 19:55 |
| bioterror | libflashplayer.so | 19:55 |
| bioterror | you could make symlink to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins | 19:56 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: possibly, i will try that. thanks | 19:56 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: i have no .so in that dir | 19:59 |
| stlsaint | should prolly go download it lol | 19:59 |
| stlsaint | but why the hell does flashplugin show as installed on synaptic and dpkg | 19:59 |
| kvarley | I have an issue, not only with lubuntu but also with ubuntu. | 20:04 |
| kvarley | When I run update-manager or synaptic it asks for my sudo password. I enter it and it doesn't accept it. The window is different to the one I get when I launch an application with gksudo. Why does it do this? | 20:05 |
| OEP | Does anyone know what produces the "Removable media is inserted" dialog when removable storage is added? | 20:05 |
| stlsaint | kvarley: can you run: sudo apt-get update | 20:07 |
| stlsaint | kvarley: and will it except that password? | 20:07 |
| kvarley | stlsaint: Yes, it's not an issue with me remembering my sudo password or anything like that. It's this specific gui which won't let me input my password. Even if I use gksudo it works. Just whatever utility is used to gain sudo for the update manager and synaptic doesn't work for some reason. | 20:08 |
| stlsaint | kvarley: that is strange one, one i have never heard of | 20:09 |
| stlsaint | all sudo activites pull from the sudoers file | 20:09 |
| kvarley | stlsaint: It is indeed because before 11.04 I'd never had this issue. I've been running the tools as sudo manually for a while but would love to know why it does it in the first place xD | 20:11 |
| stlsaint | kvarley: i have not used synaptic much lately so i would not be able to adequately trouble shoot it, honestly i would post this to the forums | 20:12 |
| stlsaint | ubuntuforums.org | 20:12 |
| phillw | stlsaint: kvarley are any of the guys on UBT faster to respond? | 20:14 |
| kvarley | stlsaint: Thank you. I was having difficulty getting screenshots of the different windows too so I've done a screen recording in order to grab the screenshots. I imagine it will help. | 20:15 |
| kvarley | phillw: I asked on the Ubuntu IRC and nobody knew. They jumped to the conclusion I was getting my password wrong. | 20:15 |
| kvarley | phillw: I will post on the forums. Thank you for you help all the same phillw and stlsaint | 20:16 |
| bioterror | update-manager wants to use gksu? | 20:18 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Thanks it! | 20:19 |
| kvarley | bioterror: gksu doesn't accept my sudo password but gksudo does | 20:19 |
| bioterror | edit the .desktop file of update-manager to use gksudo instead of gksu | 20:19 |
| bioterror | funny thing is that they are exactly the same | 20:20 |
| bioterror | it's just that they handle the information differently | 20:20 |
| kvarley | bioterror: I want to know why it doesn't accept it xD it's weird as hell! | 20:20 |
| bioterror | I've been a little lazy to inspect how that really acts | 20:20 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 20:20 |
| bioterror | kvarley, check /etc/group and look if you're in root | 20:21 |
| bioterror | or something similar | 20:21 |
| bioterror | my wife just closed her laptops lid, so I dont have access to lubuntu machine now ;) | 20:22 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Doesn't look like I am ---> root:x:0: | 20:23 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 20:23 |
| bioterror | Unit193, wakeup | 20:23 |
| kvarley | bioterror: But I'm not in sudo either? ---> sudo:x:27: | 20:24 |
| bioterror | no, you're under admin | 20:24 |
| bioterror | if I remember right | 20:24 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Ah yes ---> admin:x:109:kevin | 20:24 |
| bioterror | yeah, and when you look sudoers file, there's %admin instead of %wheel ;) | 20:25 |
| kvarley | bioterror: %wheel ? | 20:25 |
| bioterror | wheel is what usually is used in *nixes | 20:26 |
| Unit193 | For me I have # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges {newline} %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 20:27 |
| bioterror | kvarley, you could try to do this: root:x:0:kevin | 20:27 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Adding myself to sudo or root does nothing. | 20:32 |
| bioterror | okay | 20:33 |
| bioterror | if you run gksudo update-manager in terminal | 20:33 |
| bioterror | does it spit any errors | 20:33 |
| kvarley | bioterror none | 20:35 |
| kvarley | It spits no errors when doing gksu terminal in terminal either, just denies me access, says incorrect password | 20:36 |
| bioterror | sudo passwd kevin | 20:36 |
| bioterror | and change your password | 20:36 |
| bioterror | :) | 20:37 |
| bioterror | with sudo you can force it to use even the same ;) | 20:37 |
| bioterror | I think so | 20:37 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Chaning doesn't work either | 20:38 |
| kvarley | *changing | 20:38 |
| kvarley | It's getting weirder | 20:38 |
| bioterror | could be easier to help if my system as as messed up :-) | 20:39 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Here we go I did "gksu --description="tell me the pass" -p terminal. That gets it to print the password to the terminal. It's the right password but before it prints the password it shows this error... | 20:40 |
| kvarley | sn_launcher_context_complete called for an SnLauncherContext that hasn't been initiated | 20:40 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Debug mode reveals nothing either. I'll just change the .desktop sutff. It's a shame I can't figure it out though. Thanks for all your help though! :) It's much appreciated! | 20:44 |
| bioterror | seems like you're not alone | 20:45 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Really? | 20:45 |
| bioterror | google with that sn_launcher ;) | 20:45 |
| kvarley | bioterror: You helped me massively actually, because before I didn't know what the prompt was called. Now I know it's gksu I can research :) | 20:46 |
| bioterror | which version of lubuntu are you running? | 20:46 |
| kvarley | 11.04 x86_64 | 20:47 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Think I may have fixed it. I ran gksu-properties and changed it from su to sudo mode. | 20:48 |
| bioterror | hey | 20:48 |
| kvarley | bioterror: It's kinda avoiding the main issue but it'll work. | 20:48 |
| bioterror | what kind of line is in the .desktop file | 20:48 |
| kvarley | bioterror: It just executes /usr/bin/update-manager | 20:49 |
| bioterror | gksu /usr/bin/update-manager ? | 20:49 |
| kvarley | bioterror: However, synaptic does use gksu | 20:50 |
| bioterror | nothing else? | 20:50 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Exec=/usr/bin/update-manager | 20:50 |
| kvarley | bioterror: But synaptic uses the following: Exec=gksu --description /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop /usr/sbin/synaptic | 20:50 |
| bioterror | what if you do it that way? :) | 20:51 |
| bioterror | you add that --description | 20:51 |
| kvarley | bioterror: It's gksu that's at fault, not the launcher. | 20:53 |
| kvarley | bioterror: If I change the gksu-properties to sudo mode it works. So actually, it's something su releated. | 20:53 |
| bioterror | bug report should be rise against gksu | 20:54 |
| bioterror | probably that's a x64 related problem | 20:55 |
| kvarley | I'll post on the forums all the same. I will mention the fix but also state what the actual problem is. | 20:56 |
| bioterror | launchpad is a correct place | 20:56 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Doing su -c leafpad in terminal doesn't accept my password either | 20:56 |
| bioterror | hah, I'm running windows now | 20:57 |
| bioterror | cannot test myself | 20:57 |
| bioterror | I pressed alt+f2 many times to launch terminal :D | 20:57 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Ah ok, thanks for all the help anyway :) | 20:57 |
| bioterror | I have to use windows to update my androind phone :( | 20:58 |
| kvarley | bioterror: That's annoying. I take it you are running a RUU on it? | 20:58 |
| bioterror | I've run lots of ruu's on winmo phones, but this is first time with android and that's samsungs beta release of 2.3.3 | 20:58 |
| kvarley | bioterror: I hated that too, I mean the device itself runs Linux so why not make update tools availble on Linux?! Lazyness! That's why I rooted and run a custom rom xD | 20:59 |
| bioterror | froyo is just too outdated | 20:59 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Thanks for the help, I'm off now, later. | 21:02 |

| lubuntu20dash | Hi, how I change lubuntu icons? | 23:24 |
| KM0201 | menu/preferences/customize look and feel | 23:24 |
| lubuntu20dash | I want to add custom icons | 23:25 |
| lubuntu20dash | how I do that? | 23:26 |
| lubuntu20dash | for example I want to change firefox icon | 23:26 |
| lubuntu20dash | Do I have to create my own theme just to change a few icons or what? | 23:28 |
| Unit193 | I would think you just edit their .desktop file | 23:29 |
| lubuntu20dash | Where isthat file? | 23:31 |
| Unit193 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ#I%20don%27t%20know%20how%20to%20make/add%20a%20application%20to%20%22start%22%20menu. | 23:32 |
| Unit193 | lubuntu20dash: The Lubuntu FAQs can be found at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ and may be able to answer your question | 23:32 |
| lubuntu20dash | nothjing about changing icons | 23:33 |
| lubuntu20dash | just themes | 23:33 |
| lubuntu20dash | also, how I add the search function? I will just change the icons manualy | 23:34 |
| lubuntu20dash | in gnome is just a option that is easy to add, but how I add search in lubuntu? | 23:36 |
| Unit193 | Icon=gksu-root-terminal right there.... Change it to point it to the one you want | 23:36 |
| === Evixion` is now known as Evixion | ||
| lubuntu20dash | Thanks, but I prefer to use the search and manualy change the files, how I use search in lubuntu? | 23:37 |
| riddler | how do I access an encrypted bitlocker partition, is there a driver or linux software? | 23:38 |
| Unit193 | lubuntu20dash: Ok.... manually change WHAT files? And search? locate command maybe? | 23:38 |
| lubuntu20dash | Hi, , how I use search in lubuntu? like the search programs you have in kde and gnome | 23:38 |
| lubuntu20dash | isnt one for lubuntu? is quite a basic option | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | riddler: http://superuser.com/questions/31649/will-bitlocker-make-it-impossible-to-read-my-files-from-my-dual-booting-ubuntu-os | 23:40 |
| riddler | lubuntu20dash, i dont think there is a folder search for lubuntu | 23:40 |
| lubuntu20dash | WHAT? | 23:40 |
| Unit193 | Folder search = locate | 23:40 |
| lubuntu20dash | I could do folder search in windows 95, but there isnt one for lubuntu? | 23:40 |
| riddler | where is the locate option/button ? | 23:41 |
| phillw | lubuntu20dash: if you want gnome, use ubuntu. lubuntu is a slimmed out version. If you want to find something... try locate filename in CLI :D | 23:41 |
| lubuntu20dash | windows 95 used 8 of ram and had a search folder option | 23:42 |
| riddler | i like the folder of lubuntu, pcmanFM, it lets you do TAB unlike windows folder | 23:42 |
| lubuntu20dash | in fact even dos had search folder programs | 23:42 |
| lubuntu20dash | I cant believe lubuntu doesnt have a program for that | 23:42 |
| phillw | lubuntu20dash: then raise it as a bug | 23:43 |
| lubuntu20dash | ok, where are the icons stored in lubuntu? I want to manually change them | 23:43 |
| * KM0201 hates pcmanfm | 23:43 | |
| phillw | lubuntu20dash: just as windows 95 did have ability to file share. | 23:43 |
| lubuntu20dash | dude file search has been around since dos | 23:44 |
| KM0201 | i wish lubuntu would switch to thunar as a filemanager | 23:44 |
| lubuntu20dash | doesnt lubuntu have at least file search commands? | 23:44 |
| lubuntu20dash | Ok where are the icons stored in lubuntu? I want to manually change them | 23:45 |
| riddler | km0201, is that what you're using on your lubuntu? | 23:46 |
| KM0201 | riddler: thunar? | 23:49 |
| KM0201 | no... i wish i could. | 23:49 |
| KM0201 | but it never seems to work right. | 23:49 |
| riddler | you mean you can't change/remove pcmanfm to use another folder/filemanager ? its tied into it right? | 23:50 |
| KM0201 | riddler: you can add a filemanager, but.. making it "default" caused some very unusual instabilities on my system, so i'll just deal w/ pcman | 23:51 |
| KM0201 | it only causes quirks on me, every so often, but when it does, it annoys the heck out of me | 23:51 |
| riddler | ah I see, ill keep that in mind | 23:52 |
| KM0201 | PCman, is not bad though.. is not that bad though... it just aggravates me sometimes. | 23:53 |
