[01:16] EHLO === semitones_ is now known as semitones === Hellow is now known as collinp [03:24] Is it possible to run lubuntu from a usb stick with broadcom wireless active without a wired connection? [03:27] Is it even available in live usb format? [03:29] Hello? [03:29] 'lo keithclark [03:31] Hey, any ideas to my questions above? [03:36] I just joined and so the only question from you I see is "Hello?" [03:38] Is it possible to run lubuntu from a usb stick with broadcom wireless active without a wired connection? [03:42] If it did, that would be a kick ass distro [04:10] does lubuntu recognize the wireless card ? [04:15] broadcoms are 50/60 [04:15] they might work, or not [04:15] if it's BCM43xx [05:23] 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. [06:58] hi...does Lubuntu 11.04 has all media codecs..?? [06:59] if you install VLC, it will have most of them ;) [07:00] bioterror, actully lubuntu 10.04 have almost all media codecs [07:01] I like the idea of having media codecs so that i can pass lubuntu to my friend who dont have internet [07:05] same media player in 11.04 than in 10.10 [12:15] 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 [12:16] No one lol [12:19] dean, lol check google image search lol [12:20] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Artwork and ofcourse [12:21] google image search? [12:22] How do you change the menu bar at the bottom? [12:25] I've only just installed Lubuntu like it but theres lack of personalisation [12:29] Hey does anyone know to refresh the menu bar I have made a mess of it? [12:34] salve, c'è qualcuno che parla italiano? o mi devo cimentare con l'inglese? :) [12:38] 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? [12:55] how do I change the battery settings? [12:59] please help [13:03] alister, unplug your power cable [13:03] you will get that battery icon [13:03] :-) [13:03] you can then click it [13:05] oh thx [13:05] make it to show icon always ;) [13:05] and it is possible change notebook cover settings? [13:05] I dunno why that's not default setting [13:06] notebook what settings? [13:06] when i close the cover (uhm... lid? cap?) [13:07] yes [13:07] from that same place [13:07] you can choose suspend, hibernate or do nothing [13:07] suspend is my favourite [13:08] 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] there is another way? [13:09] no power settings in "start" menu? [13:10] no [13:38] maybe with gconf-editor? [13:40] open terminal or what ever you want to use and launch gnome-power-applet or what was it [13:41] I dont have a lubuntu laptop near me :D [13:41] just a moment [13:41] gnome-power-preferences [13:42] yuu! [13:42] perfect [13:42] it's possibile create a icon launcher on desktop? [13:42] yes it is [13:44] thank you very very much [13:44] there's couple of ways doing it [13:45] use lxshortcut or make yourself a .desktop -file [13:46] oh perfect there is a option to put the icon battery on the status bar [13:46] for ever! [14:32] hi [14:37] wb leszek :) [14:44] thx ;) === micahg_ is now known as micahg [15:08] anyone wants to test out a special pcmanfm version with lxshortcut integration ? [15:18] leszek: yeah, sure... I can run it in VM if jmarsden is not about, but you will have to talk me through installing it. [15:21] 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] is it for 11.10? [15:21] It should work fine on natty [15:21] or above I guess [15:21] though the pcmanfm I patched is a little bit outdated xD [15:21] I'll fire up an Oneric session [15:21] :) [15:22] I need to figure out if my patch works with the newest versions aswell [15:23] 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] it should work fine [15:24] but pcmanfm then has also a new lxshortcut dependency [15:25] 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] yeah thats true ;) [15:26] GSteamer from the 'bad' set --- yikes! [15:27] :) [15:27] it always makes my heart sink a little when they update apt [15:28] they mess that up an we're all up the creek with no paddle! [15:29] luckily normally an older apt version is stored in the cache or cd ;) [15:31] leszek: be patient... it has got the updates (not a fast link here and it is a VM) [15:32] leszek: how comes you do run VM for testing? [15:32] *do not run* [15:33] I am running the vm for testing [15:39] leszek: coo. you may be able to teach me how to get mine running correctly :P [15:39] :) [15:41] the add on for copying and paste stubbornly refuses to work :/ [15:47] 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 :( [15:49] phillw: that might be, need to check the current daily [15:50] leszek: I'm on a slow speed out here in the countryside. I get used to being patient :D [15:50] :) [15:50] 4 hours for an iso :/ [15:56] leszek: once the standard 11.10 has gotten here, I'll zsync my daily for the other install. This could take a while! [15:57] :) [15:57] last time I zsync'd it, it downloaded it all from fresh :/ [15:57] lol [15:58] not at 256Mb/s it is not! [16:15] poke [16:15] (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 [16:21] leszek: Grr... "A later version is already installed" [16:23] phillw-virtual: install it from the commandline with sudo dpkg -i [16:23] yeah.... now tell me how to tell it where the deb file is? [16:24] where you downloaded it basically [16:25] so for example sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/pcmanfm_0.9.8-neptune1_i386.deb if its in your download folder [16:25] lol, I have no idea where the default are is... let me go and look! [16:26] that worked... now what do want me to test? [16:27] leszek: can we swap over to -offtopic? I forget that this a logged channel! [16:27] relogon to use the new pcmanfm and then try right clicking -> New -> Shortcut to create a *.desktop shortcut [16:27] yeah ok === slow-motion_ is now known as slow-motion [19:13] Is there a way I can disable the dialog which pops up when you insert a flash drive, but still mount it automatically? [19:30] hmmm [19:30] there's do nothing? [19:32] bioterror: HELP [19:32] bioterror: my system says i need to install adobe but i already have it installed [19:39] stlsaint, which adobe what where [19:45] onesec [19:47] bioterror: 10.3.183.4ubuntu0.10.04.1 [19:47] are you talking about adobe flash? [19:47] or reader [19:47] bioterror: thats flash plugin installer [19:47] flash [19:47] sorry [19:47] and the browser is? [19:48] chromium? [19:49] yep [19:49] do you have that .so file in your /usr/lib/chromium/plugins/ [19:49] if I remember path correctly [19:50] no its not there [19:50] usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins [19:50] is empty [19:50] okay [19:50] check your firefox/mozilla library [19:50] if it has one [19:51] it has some but nothing for the adobe shared object [19:53] hmmm [19:53] purge that adobe installer [19:53] or what ever it is [19:53] and install it again [19:53] rather than dpkg-reconfigure, as I think it wont solve that [19:53] I would probably use flashplugin-nonfree [19:54] bioterror: yea that is what i did already, still fscked up [19:54] hmm [19:55] $ ls /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ [19:55] libflashplayer.so [19:56] you could make symlink to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins [19:56] bioterror: possibly, i will try that. thanks [19:59] bioterror: i have no .so in that dir [19:59] should prolly go download it lol [19:59] but why the hell does flashplugin show as installed on synaptic and dpkg [20:04] I have an issue, not only with lubuntu but also with ubuntu. [20:05] 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] Does anyone know what produces the "Removable media is inserted" dialog when removable storage is added? [20:07] kvarley: can you run: sudo apt-get update [20:07] kvarley: and will it except that password? [20:08] 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. [20:09] kvarley: that is strange one, one i have never heard of [20:09] all sudo activites pull from the sudoers file [20:11] 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 [20:12] 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] ubuntuforums.org [20:14] stlsaint: kvarley are any of the guys on UBT faster to respond? [20:15] 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] phillw: I asked on the Ubuntu IRC and nobody knew. They jumped to the conclusion I was getting my password wrong. [20:16] phillw: I will post on the forums. Thank you for you help all the same phillw and stlsaint [20:18] update-manager wants to use gksu? [20:19] bioterror: Thanks it! [20:19] bioterror: gksu doesn't accept my sudo password but gksudo does [20:19] edit the .desktop file of update-manager to use gksudo instead of gksu [20:20] funny thing is that they are exactly the same [20:20] it's just that they handle the information differently [20:20] bioterror: I want to know why it doesn't accept it xD it's weird as hell! [20:20] I've been a little lazy to inspect how that really acts [20:20] hmmm [20:21] kvarley, check /etc/group and look if you're in root [20:21] or something similar [20:22] my wife just closed her laptops lid, so I dont have access to lubuntu machine now ;) [20:23] bioterror: Doesn't look like I am ---> root:x:0: [20:23] hmmm [20:23] Unit193, wakeup [20:24] bioterror: But I'm not in sudo either? ---> sudo:x:27: [20:24] no, you're under admin [20:24] if I remember right [20:24] bioterror: Ah yes ---> admin:x:109:kevin [20:25] yeah, and when you look sudoers file, there's %admin instead of %wheel ;) [20:25] bioterror: %wheel ? [20:26] wheel is what usually is used in *nixes [20:27] For me I have # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges {newline} %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [20:27] kvarley, you could try to do this: root:x:0:kevin [20:32] bioterror: Adding myself to sudo or root does nothing. [20:33] okay [20:33] if you run gksudo update-manager in terminal [20:33] does it spit any errors [20:35] bioterror none [20:36] It spits no errors when doing gksu terminal in terminal either, just denies me access, says incorrect password [20:36] sudo passwd kevin [20:36] and change your password [20:37] :) [20:37] with sudo you can force it to use even the same ;) [20:37] I think so [20:38] bioterror: Chaning doesn't work either [20:38] *changing [20:38] It's getting weirder [20:39] could be easier to help if my system as as messed up :-) [20:40] 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] sn_launcher_context_complete called for an SnLauncherContext that hasn't been initiated [20:44] 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! [20:45] seems like you're not alone [20:45] bioterror: Really? [20:45] google with that sn_launcher ;) [20:46] 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] which version of lubuntu are you running? [20:47] 11.04 x86_64 [20:48] bioterror: Think I may have fixed it. I ran gksu-properties and changed it from su to sudo mode. [20:48] hey [20:48] bioterror: It's kinda avoiding the main issue but it'll work. [20:48] what kind of line is in the .desktop file [20:49] bioterror: It just executes /usr/bin/update-manager [20:49] gksu /usr/bin/update-manager ? [20:50] bioterror: However, synaptic does use gksu [20:50] nothing else? [20:50] bioterror: Exec=/usr/bin/update-manager [20:50] bioterror: But synaptic uses the following: Exec=gksu --description /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop /usr/sbin/synaptic [20:51] what if you do it that way? :) [20:51] you add that --description [20:53] bioterror: It's gksu that's at fault, not the launcher. [20:53] bioterror: If I change the gksu-properties to sudo mode it works. So actually, it's something su releated. [20:54] bug report should be rise against gksu [20:55] probably that's a x64 related problem [20:56] I'll post on the forums all the same. I will mention the fix but also state what the actual problem is. [20:56] launchpad is a correct place [20:56] bioterror: Doing su -c leafpad in terminal doesn't accept my password either [20:57] hah, I'm running windows now [20:57] cannot test myself [20:57] I pressed alt+f2 many times to launch terminal :D [20:57] bioterror: Ah ok, thanks for all the help anyway :) [20:58] I have to use windows to update my androind phone :( [20:58] bioterror: That's annoying. I take it you are running a RUU on it? [20:58] 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 [20:59] 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] froyo is just too outdated [21:02] bioterror: Thanks for the help, I'm off now, later. [21:02] laters [23:24] Hi, how I change lubuntu icons? [23:24] menu/preferences/customize look and feel [23:25] I want to add custom icons [23:26] how I do that? [23:26] for example I want to change firefox icon [23:28] Do I have to create my own theme just to change a few icons or what? [23:29] I would think you just edit their .desktop file [23:31] Where isthat file? [23:32] 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] lubuntu20dash: The Lubuntu FAQs can be found at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ and may be able to answer your question [23:33] nothjing about changing icons [23:33] just themes [23:34] also, how I add the search function? I will just change the icons manualy [23:36] in gnome is just a option that is easy to add, but how I add search in lubuntu? [23:36] Icon=gksu-root-terminal right there.... Change it to point it to the one you want === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [23:37] Thanks, but I prefer to use the search and manualy change the files, how I use search in lubuntu? [23:38] how do I access an encrypted bitlocker partition, is there a driver or linux software? [23:38] lubuntu20dash: Ok.... manually change WHAT files? And search? locate command maybe? [23:38] Hi, , how I use search in lubuntu? like the search programs you have in kde and gnome [23:39] isnt one for lubuntu? is quite a basic option [23:40] riddler: http://superuser.com/questions/31649/will-bitlocker-make-it-impossible-to-read-my-files-from-my-dual-booting-ubuntu-os [23:40] lubuntu20dash, i dont think there is a folder search for lubuntu [23:40] WHAT? [23:40] Folder search = locate [23:40] I could do folder search in windows 95, but there isnt one for lubuntu? [23:41] where is the locate option/button ? [23:41] 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 [23:42] windows 95 used 8 of ram and had a search folder option [23:42] i like the folder of lubuntu, pcmanFM, it lets you do TAB unlike windows folder [23:42] in fact even dos had search folder programs [23:42] I cant believe lubuntu doesnt have a program for that [23:43] lubuntu20dash: then raise it as a bug [23:43] ok, where are the icons stored in lubuntu? I want to manually change them [23:43] * KM0201 hates pcmanfm [23:43] lubuntu20dash: just as windows 95 did have ability to file share. [23:44] dude file search has been around since dos [23:44] i wish lubuntu would switch to thunar as a filemanager [23:44] doesnt lubuntu have at least file search commands? [23:45] Ok where are the icons stored in lubuntu? I want to manually change them [23:46] km0201, is that what you're using on your lubuntu? [23:49] riddler: thunar? [23:49] no... i wish i could. [23:49] but it never seems to work right. [23:50] you mean you can't change/remove pcmanfm to use another folder/filemanager ? its tied into it right? [23:51] 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] it only causes quirks on me, every so often, but when it does, it annoys the heck out of me [23:52] ah I see, ill keep that in mind [23:53] PCman, is not bad though.. is not that bad though... it just aggravates me sometimes.
