| KM0201 | how would you change the "shutdown" icon in your lxde theme? | 00:59 |
|---|---|---|
| j0hndoe | Problem: How do I change an individual program's icon? For example the LxTerminal, I went to accessories>right click>properties>change icon, pick the one I want saw it changes click OK, but when I go back to do step one, its like the same thing, nothing changes... ?? | 02:58 |
| Unit193 | sudo nano /usr/share/applications/lxterminal.desktop and change icon from there | 02:59 |
| Unit193 | May want to back it up first ;) | 02:59 |
| j0hndoe | how do I back up stuff? what do i back up. sry im new to this things. | 03:00 |
| Unit193 | sudo cp /usr/share/applications/lxterminal.desktop /usr/share/applications/lxterminal.desktop.backup | 03:01 |
| j0hndoe | ty, all this commands that you tell me i got it save on a linux_commands.odt file for future reference :> | 03:02 |
| Unit193 | You can also gksudo leafpad to have a GUI text editor | 03:03 |
| Unit193 | !sudo | 03:03 |
| ubot5 | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 03:03 |
| j0hndoe | ok i did both commands, the gksudo one i got leafpad open but its blank, the sudo nano open up terminal with command stuff but idk which or how to edit it | 03:10 |
| Unit193 | Pagedown 'til you see icon=lxterminal | 03:11 |
| j0hndoe | found it, how do I change it to something I want? when I do the GUI version the name of the icon is 'terminal' or other names but same looking icons, should I change lxterminal to those name? | 03:15 |
| Unit193 | Well, you can try, but it might be easier to just to find it with locate | 03:17 |
| j0hndoe | how do i do that | 03:17 |
| Unit193 | locate terminal.{png,jpg,whatever the extension is :P) | 03:18 |
| j0hndoe | once i do that how do i save it? i dont see save option in the terminal | 03:18 |
| Unit193 | ctrl+o | 03:19 |
| Unit193 | then xtrl+x | 03:19 |
| j0hndoe | what button is M-A it means append | 03:22 |
| j0hndoe | that's after i press ctrl+o | 03:22 |
| Unit193 | Just hit enter | 03:23 |
| j0hndoe | hehehehe it work | 03:23 |
| j0hndoe | ty Unit193 | 03:23 |
| Unit193 | You're welcome! | 03:24 |
| Unit193 | Did you get your grub sorted? | 03:24 |
| jmarsden | j0hndoe: If everything is correctly configured, M-A means hold down the Meta key and press A. On PC keyboards the left Alt key is usually configured to be the Meta key, so M-A probably means Alt-A on a 'normal' PC keyboard. | 03:24 |
| j0hndoe | jmarsden: thnx for the tip. | 03:25 |
| j0hndoe | Unit193: not yet | 03:25 |
| jmarsden | j0hndoe: You're welcome. | 03:25 |
| KM0201 | how do i add shutdown button back to the panel.. I accidentally deleted it, and can't change it back. | 03:26 |
| Unit193 | j0hndoe: Ask jmarsden, he's quite good at this (If he has the time as he's a dev) | 03:26 |
| j0hndoe | KM0201 you might have to reset the whole panel, as a last resort. | 03:26 |
| KM0201 | j0hndoe: whats the command ot do that? | 03:27 |
| KM0201 | i'm willing to try that | 03:27 |
| j0hndoe | i think you delete some file or folder, then relog | 03:27 |
| jmarsden | KM0201: I've heard that question asked before, but I don't remember the answer. Is it in the FAQ already? | 03:27 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: i didn't look at the FAQ yet... didn't seem like something that would be there. | 03:27 |
| KM0201 | i have to leave, i'll be back in 15min.... | 03:27 |
| KM0201 | if you think of anything, id appreciate the advice. | 03:28 |
| jmarsden | KM0201: Always check the FAQ before asking a question, that's what it exists for :) OK. | 03:28 |
| Unit193 | Don't you just delete ~/.config/lxpanel/ ? | 03:28 |
| j0hndoe | ya i think that's the one to reset the panel | 03:28 |
| j0hndoe | jmarsden i got another dillema with puppy-linux 5.2.8 it wont get detected by grub2, i tried os-prober and update-grub but it still isn't working, | 03:31 |
| j0hndoe | sudo blkid shows this /dev/sda3: UUID="8e0b4d89-244d-4662-8b15-02a5f82520f0" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" | 03:32 |
| j0hndoe | /dev/sda1: UUID="b652aef8-b567-412f-be51-d0a16bc0a69e" TYPE="ext4" | 03:32 |
| j0hndoe | /dev/sda5: UUID="0e6a102a-7cb2-406e-b002-63fe08c6e126" TYPE="swap" | 03:32 |
| jmarsden | j0hndoe: Worst case, create a custom grub entry by hand in /etc/grub.d/40_custom for Puppy. | 03:33 |
| jmarsden | All the "detection" stuff is just trying to automate writing grub entries... so if it fails, write the entry yourself instead. | 03:34 |
| bioterror | it would be easier with legacy grub ;) | 03:35 |
| j0hndoe | jmarsden, ok ill try that. | 03:37 |
| jmarsden | bioterror: Probably, but then you're creating a very custom setup and you'd better know exactly what your'e doing, or you risk losing ability to boot Lubuntu as well as Puppy etc. | 03:37 |
| j0hndoe | bioterror, isn't grub2 better than the legacy grub ? | 03:37 |
| bioterror | j0hndoe, depends from who you ask | 03:37 |
| bioterror | if you need GUID, you have no option ;) | 03:38 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: i know how ot read an FAQ.... | 03:38 |
| jmarsden | KM0201: Cool, when you get an answer, add your question and its answer to it then :) | 03:38 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: naa.. i don't do that | 03:39 |
| jmarsden | You do it you want to actually contribute back to the community... | 03:39 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: some people contribute in other ways, i don't edit FAQ's, etc.. | 03:39 |
| KM0201 | brb | 03:40 |
| bioterror | what would happen if we all would contribute by keeping things to ourself | 03:40 |
| Pegasus_RPG | is there a netboot lubuntu image? | 03:40 |
| jmarsden | Pegasus_RPG: Not officially, and not any that I know of unofficially either. | 03:41 |
| Pegasus_RPG | using the standard ubuntu one causes it to download a bunch of different packages, causing lots of cache misses for me | 03:41 |
| bioterror | Pegasus_RPG, you mean PXE? | 03:41 |
| Pegasus_RPG | bioterror: yes | 03:41 |
| bioterror | Pegasus_RPG, I have not tried to boot lubuntu from PXE | 03:43 |
| bioterror | wish I had energy and time | 03:43 |
| Pegasus_RPG | I'm currently using ubuntu's standard image then I'll do apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 03:43 |
| bioterror | buut mini.iso ;) | 03:43 |
| bioterror | boot | 03:44 |
| Pegasus_RPG | but I would like a more direct way :) | 03:44 |
| KM0201 | well, that didn't work | 03:44 |
| Pegasus_RPG | bioterror: should it just be a matter of dropping lubuntu's initrd.gz and linux files onto the PXE serveR? | 03:46 |
| bioterror | lubuntu uses same initrd's and kernels as ubuntu | 03:46 |
| Pegasus_RPG | so what's different? the preseeds? | 03:47 |
| bioterror | difference is what it starts to load after them ;) | 03:48 |
| bioterror | instead of gdm it runs lxdm which runs openbox and then lxde stuff | 03:48 |
| Pegasus_RPG | bbl | 03:52 |
| KM0201 | well crap, now i lost nm-applet | 04:02 |
| KM0201 | well, igot my shutdown button back, but i lost my freaking networking applet. | 04:11 |
| jmarsden | KM0201: If you want to learn a little, restore the config folder from backup to an alternate location, diff it with what you have now, then based on that, create a fully working folder of config info that does what you need with both the shutdown button and the nm-applet. | 04:14 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: i restored my backup.. .. but for some reason my neworking applet didn't come back. | 04:14 |
| KM0201 | i backed it up before i reset it... | 04:15 |
| KM0201 | but resetting it didn't work anyway, i just got a blank panel | 04:15 |
| jmarsden | well, if you are giving up on fixing it, you can try something more radical like apt-get purge lxpanel, reboot, apt-get install lxpanel (but I make no guarantees it will work for you!) | 04:16 |
| KM0201 | .. | 04:16 |
| KM0201 | no, i understand, this just shouldn't be that difficult really. | 04:17 |
| KM0201 | if i had networking before i started this, and i restored my old config, i should have a panel. | 04:17 |
| KM0201 | basically like a new install. | 04:17 |
| KM0201 | i'll try your way though | 04:17 |
| KM0201 | brb | 04:18 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: that basically worked... purge the panel, delete ~/.config/lxpanel then reinstall lxpanel (yes you have to delete the .config folder.. don't know why it wasn't removed by purge) | 04:24 |
| jmarsden | Ok, good. | 04:25 |
| polux | hello all | 06:48 |
| polux | Phillw : thank you for your help Lubuntu is configured is Good | 06:59 |
| bioterror | phillw says you're welcome ;) | 07:00 |

| silverarrow | hi | 16:20 |
| silverarrow | will gnome player ever be equipped to play dowloaded youtube videos? | 16:20 |
| hyperair | it can. | 16:21 |
| hyperair | already. | 16:21 |
| hyperair | wait a sec | 16:21 |
| hyperair | we're talking about gnome mplayer right? | 16:21 |
| silverarrow | yes, the default in lubuntu | 16:22 |
| silverarrow | it's pretty good, I like it | 16:22 |
| hyperair | yah | 16:22 |
| hyperair | yeah* | 16:22 |
| silverarrow | I have downloaded two or three videos from youtube it will not play | 16:22 |
| hyperair | it does support playing flv files. | 16:22 |
| hyperair | presumably your downloaded videos are flvs, right? | 16:23 |
| silverarrow | hmm, I'm not shore | 16:25 |
| silverarrow | in documents they end with .flv | 16:25 |
| silverarrow | I have just copied directly from youtube, and used youtube-dl form terminal | 16:26 |
| hyperair | youtube-dl, right? could you give me a sample link? | 16:30 |
| hyperair | i think some videos might come as mp4 | 16:30 |
| silverarrow | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTnHa8Ug05o | 16:32 |
| silverarrow | random example, I am downloading too just to check | 16:34 |
| silverarrow | I get the same with 3-4 videos I have dowloaded | 16:34 |
| silverarrow | about 3 I downloaded a few days ago play | 16:35 |
| bioterror | lower resolution cames as.flv and higher like 720p and 1080p as mp | 16:36 |
| bioterror | mp4 | 16:36 |
| silverarrow | I see | 16:36 |
| silverarrow | I must admit, I didn't pay much attention to resolution | 16:37 |
| silverarrow | it looks like I downlaoded in low resolution | 16:39 |
| silverarrow | all documents I downloaded end with .flv | 16:42 |
| silverarrow | and will not play | 16:42 |
| hyperair | hmm youtube-dl doesn't even work for me for that address. | 16:55 |
| silverarrow | it works here hyperair | 17:21 |
| silverarrow | weird | 17:21 |
| silverarrow | hyperair, old version of youtube-dl? | 17:24 |
| KM0201 | i use greasemonkey w/ youtube downloader script, to download YT (standard dev, mp4's or flv's.. so it may not meet your needs) | 17:33 |
| hyperair | silverarrow: what version of youtube-dl do you have? | 17:38 |
| silverarrow | VLC media player 1.2.0-git Twoflower | 17:39 |
| silverarrow | I opened in terminal | 17:39 |
| hyperair | ._. | 17:40 |
| hyperair | wait wait, i thought you said youtube-dl. | 17:41 |
| hyperair | not vlc. | 17:41 |
| hyperair | =_=" | 17:41 |
| hyperair | nevermind, i just installed oneiric youtube-dl and it works. | 17:41 |
| silverarrow | oh sorry, I am making a mess here | 17:49 |
| silverarrow | i really don't know about youtube-dl, it only opens in terminal and nothing to check? | 17:49 |
| hyperair | silverarrow: aha, it downloads webm format | 17:53 |
| hyperair | not flv. | 17:53 |
| hyperair | hmm | 17:53 |
| hyperair | but mplayer works with webm! | 17:53 |
| silverarrow | not here | 17:54 |
| silverarrow | though gnomeplaye works with everything else | 17:54 |
| hyperair | can you try running "mplayer blahblah.webm" in a terminal and see whatit says? | 17:54 |
| silverarrow | blahblah? | 17:55 |
| silverarrow | weird | 17:56 |
| hyperair | change the blahblah to the name of the file of course >_> | 17:56 |
| hyperair | it does save a webm file, right? | 17:56 |
| silverarrow | hyperair, to no result ? | 17:57 |
| hyperair | if not, can you run "file filename.flv"? | 17:57 |
| hyperair | .. | 17:57 |
| silverarrow | file filename.flv | 17:58 |
| silverarrow | file filename.flv | 17:58 |
| silverarrow | filename.flv: ERROR: cannot open `filename.flv' (No such file or directory) | 17:58 |
| silverarrow | sorry | 17:58 |
| silverarrow | how do I add libvlccore5 from package manager? | 18:23 |
| silverarrow | any way about streaming downloaded youtube videos? | 19:14 |
| silverarrow | vlc is majorly acting up | 19:14 |
| Pegasus_RPG | Hi again. I'm trying to netboot the lubuntu installer now. What I've done so far is put initrd.lz, vmlinuz, and the .seed file on the TFTP server and made a SYSLINUX menu entry that loads those using the command line from the .cfg file on the USB stick | 21:46 |
| gentoo_drummer | anyone here? | 21:46 |
| Pegasus_RPG | but I get "no init found" | 21:46 |
| gentoo_drummer | just wondering how I can edit the rc.xml for keybinds on lubuntu | 21:46 |
| gentoo_drummer | is it just doing the same thing as openbox? | 21:46 |
| Pegasus_RPG | gentoo_drummer: lubuntu uses LXDE so maybe search the web for that | 21:47 |
| * Pegasus_RPG is new here too | 21:47 | |
| gentoo_drummer | Pegasus_RPG, ye, but lxde also includes openbox? | 21:48 |
| Pegasus_RPG | i don't know | 21:48 |
| Pegasus_RPG | if so, sure, give it a try ^_^ | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | just to show off http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Images/Desktop.png | 22:16 |
| Pegasus_RPG | ActionParsnip: haha nice. Running on a less-than-minimal system I see? | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | not so minimal, just libreoffice added | 22:31 |
| ActionParsnip | 3.1Gb installed. 229Mb RAM used | 22:31 |
| KM0201 | lol, slick | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Size 40 lxpanel, then used imagemagic to stretch and monochrome the image to theme it | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | the rest is stock | 22:41 |
| KM0201 | http://imagebin.org/169673 | 22:44 |
| KM0201 | mine is boring.. :) | 22:44 |
| KM0201 | ah, no, it has 5.... only short1. | 22:49 |
| Pegasus_RPG | How can I change the login screen background in Lubuntu? | 23:48 |
