[01:16] <highphilosopher> EHLO
[03:24] <keithclark> Is it possible to run lubuntu from a usb stick with broadcom wireless active without a wired connection?
[03:27] <keithclark> Is it even available in live usb format?
[03:29] <keithclark> Hello?
[03:29] <bodhizazen> 'lo keithclark
[03:31] <keithclark> Hey, any ideas to my questions above?
[03:36] <bodhizazen> I just joined and so the only  question from you I see is "Hello?"
[03:38] <keithclark> Is it possible to run lubuntu from a usb stick with broadcom wireless active without a wired connection?
[03:42] <keithclark> If it did, that would be a kick ass distro
[04:10] <bodhizazen> does lubuntu recognize the wireless card ?
[04:15] <bioterror> broadcoms are 50/60
[04:15] <bioterror> they might work, or not
[04:15] <bioterror> if it's BCM43xx
[05:23] <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.
[06:58] <me-1> hi...does Lubuntu 11.04 has all media codecs..??
[06:59] <bioterror> if you install VLC, it will have most of them ;)
[07:00] <me-1> bioterror, actully lubuntu 10.04 have almost all media codecs
[07:01] <me-1> I like the idea of having media codecs so that i can pass lubuntu to my friend who dont have internet
[07:05] <bioterror> same media player in 11.04 than in 10.10
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <dean> No one lol
[12:19] <bioterror> dean, lol check google image search lol
[12:20] <bioterror> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Artwork and ofcourse
[12:21] <dean> google image search?
[12:22] <dean> How do you change the menu bar at the bottom?
[12:25] <dean> I've only just installed Lubuntu like it but theres lack of personalisation
[12:29] <dean> Hey does anyone know to refresh the menu bar I have made a mess of it?
[12:34] <alister> salve, c'è qualcuno che parla italiano? o mi devo cimentare con l'inglese? :)
[12:38] <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?
[12:55] <alister> how do I change the battery settings?
[12:59] <alister> please help
[13:03] <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
[13:05] <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
[13:06] <bioterror> notebook what settings?
[13:06] <alister> when i close the cover (uhm... lid? cap?)
[13:07] <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
[13:08] <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?
[13:09] <bioterror> no power settings in "start" menu?
[13:10] <alister> no
[13:38] <alister> maybe with gconf-editor?
[13:40] <bioterror> open terminal or what ever you want to use and launch gnome-power-applet or what was it
[13:41] <bioterror> I dont have a lubuntu laptop near me :D
[13:41] <bioterror> just a moment
[13:41] <bioterror> gnome-power-preferences
[13:42] <alister> yuu!
[13:42] <alister> perfect
[13:42] <alister> it's possibile create a icon launcher on desktop?
[13:42] <bioterror> yes it is
[13:44] <alister> thank you very very much
[13:44] <bioterror> there's couple of ways doing it
[13:45] <bioterror> use lxshortcut or make yourself a .desktop -file
[13:46] <alister> oh perfect there is a option to put the icon battery on the status bar
[13:46] <alister> for ever!
[14:32] <leszek> hi
[14:37] <phillw> wb leszek :)
[14:44] <leszek> thx ;)
[15:08] <leszek> anyone wants to test out a special pcmanfm version with lxshortcut integration ?
[15:18] <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.
[15:21] <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> :)
[15:22] <leszek> I need to figure out if my patch works with the newest versions aswell
[15:23] <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
[15:24] <leszek> but pcmanfm then has also a new lxshortcut dependency
[15:25] <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 ;)
[15:26] <phillw> GSteamer from the 'bad' set --- yikes!
[15:27] <leszek> :)
[15:27] <phillw> it always makes my heart sink a little when they update apt
[15:28] <phillw> they mess that up an we're all up the creek with no paddle!
[15:29] <leszek> luckily normally an older apt version is stored in the cache or cd ;)
[15:31] <phillw> leszek: be patient... it has got the updates (not a fast link here and it is a VM)
[15:32] <phillw> leszek: how comes you do run VM for testing?
[15:32] <phillw> *do not run*
[15:33] <leszek> I am running the vm for testing
[15:39] <phillw> leszek: coo. you may be able to teach me how to get mine running correctly :P
[15:39] <leszek> :)
[15:41] <phillw> the add on for copying and paste stubbornly refuses to work :/
[15:47] <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 :(
[15:49] <leszek> phillw: that might be, need to check the current daily
[15:50] <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 :/
[15:56] <phillw> leszek: once the standard 11.10 has gotten here, I'll zsync my daily for the other install. This could take a while!
[15:57] <leszek> :)
[15:57] <phillw> last time I zsync'd it, it downloaded it all from fresh :/
[15:57] <leszek> lol
[15:58] <phillw> not at 256Mb/s it is not!
[16:15] <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
[16:21] <phillw-virtual> leszek: Grr... "A later version is already installed"
[16:23] <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?
[16:24] <leszek> where you downloaded it basically
[16:25] <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!
[16:26] <phillw-virtual> that worked... now what do want me to test?
[16:27] <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
[19:13] <OEP> 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] <bioterror> hmmm
[19:30] <bioterror> there's do nothing?
[19:32] <stlsaint> bioterror: HELP
[19:32] <stlsaint> bioterror: my system says i need to install adobe but i already have it installed
[19:39] <bioterror> stlsaint, which adobe what where
[19:45] <stlsaint> onesec
[19:47] <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?
[19:48] <bioterror> chromium?
[19:49] <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
[19:50] <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
[19:51] <stlsaint> it has some but nothing for the adobe shared object
[19:53] <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
[19:54] <stlsaint> bioterror: yea that is what i did already, still fscked up
[19:54] <bioterror> hmm
[19:55] <bioterror> $ ls /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/
[19:55] <bioterror> libflashplayer.so
[19:56] <bioterror> you could make symlink to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
[19:56] <stlsaint> bioterror: possibly, i will try that. thanks
[19:59] <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
[20:04] <kvarley> I have an issue, not only with lubuntu but also with ubuntu.
[20:05] <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?
[20:07] <stlsaint> kvarley: can you run: sudo apt-get update
[20:07] <stlsaint> kvarley: and will it except that password?
[20:08] <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.
[20:09] <stlsaint> kvarley: that is strange one, one i have never heard of
[20:09] <stlsaint> all sudo activites pull from the sudoers file
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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
[20:14] <phillw> stlsaint: kvarley are any of the guys on UBT faster to respond?
[20:15] <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.
[20:16] <kvarley> phillw: I will post on the forums. Thank you for you help all the same phillw and stlsaint
[20:18] <bioterror> update-manager wants to use gksu?
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <bioterror> kvarley, check /etc/group and look if you're in root
[20:21] <bioterror> or something similar
[20:22] <bioterror> my wife just closed her laptops lid, so I dont have access to lubuntu machine now ;)
[20:23] <kvarley> bioterror: Doesn't look like I am ---> root:x:0:
[20:23] <bioterror> hmmm
[20:23] <bioterror> Unit193, wakeup
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <bioterror> yeah, and when you look sudoers file, there's %admin instead of %wheel ;)
[20:25] <kvarley> bioterror: %wheel ?
[20:26] <bioterror> wheel is what usually is used in *nixes
[20:27] <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
[20:32] <kvarley> bioterror: Adding myself to sudo or root does nothing.
[20:33] <bioterror> okay
[20:33] <bioterror> if you run gksudo update-manager in terminal
[20:33] <bioterror> does it spit any errors
[20:35] <kvarley> bioterror none
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <bioterror> :)
[20:37] <bioterror> with sudo you can force it to use even the same ;)
[20:37] <bioterror> I think so
[20:38] <kvarley> bioterror: Chaning doesn't work either
[20:38] <kvarley> *changing
[20:38] <kvarley> It's getting weirder
[20:39] <bioterror> could be easier to help if my system as as messed up :-)
[20:40] <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
[20:44] <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!
[20:45] <bioterror> seems like you're not alone
[20:45] <kvarley> bioterror: Really?
[20:45] <bioterror> google with that sn_launcher ;)
[20:46] <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?
[20:47] <kvarley> 11.04 x86_64
[20:48] <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
[20:49] <kvarley> bioterror: It just executes /usr/bin/update-manager
[20:49] <bioterror> gksu /usr/bin/update-manager ?
[20:50] <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
[20:51] <bioterror> what if you do it that way? :)
[20:51] <bioterror> you add that --description
[20:53] <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.
[20:54] <bioterror> bug report should be rise against gksu
[20:55] <bioterror> probably that's a x64 related problem
[20:56] <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
[20:57] <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 :)
[20:58] <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
[20:59] <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
[21:02] <kvarley> bioterror: Thanks for the help, I'm off now, later.
[21:02] <bioterror> laters
[23:24] <lubuntu20dash> Hi, how I change lubuntu icons?
[23:24] <KM0201> menu/preferences/customize look and feel
[23:25] <lubuntu20dash> I want to add custom icons
[23:26] <lubuntu20dash> how I do that?
[23:26] <lubuntu20dash> for example I want to change firefox icon
[23:28] <lubuntu20dash> Do I have to create my own theme just to change a few icons or what?
[23:29] <Unit193> I would think you just edit their .desktop file
[23:31] <lubuntu20dash> Where isthat file?
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <lubuntu20dash> nothjing about changing icons
[23:33] <lubuntu20dash> just themes
[23:34] <lubuntu20dash> also, how I add the search function? I will just change the icons manualy
[23:36] <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
[23:37] <lubuntu20dash> Thanks, but I prefer to use the search and manualy change the files, how I use search in lubuntu?
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <lubuntu20dash> isnt one for lubuntu? is quite a basic option
[23:40] <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?
[23:41] <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
[23:42] <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
[23:43] <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.
[23:44] <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?
[23:45] <lubuntu20dash> Ok where are the icons stored in lubuntu? I want to manually change them
[23:46] <riddler> km0201, is that what you're using on your lubuntu?
[23:49] <KM0201> riddler: thunar?
[23:49] <KM0201> no... i wish i could.
[23:49] <KM0201> but it never seems to work right.
[23:50] <riddler> you mean you can't change/remove pcmanfm to use another folder/filemanager ? its tied into it right?
[23:51] <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
[23:52] <riddler> ah I see, ill keep that in mind
[23:53] <KM0201> PCman, is not bad though.. is not that bad though... it just aggravates me sometimes.
