[00:59] how would you change the "shutdown" icon in your lxde theme? [02:58] 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... ?? [02:59] sudo nano /usr/share/applications/lxterminal.desktop and change icon from there [02:59] May want to back it up first ;) [03:00] how do I back up stuff? what do i back up. sry im new to this things. [03:01] sudo cp /usr/share/applications/lxterminal.desktop /usr/share/applications/lxterminal.desktop.backup [03:02] ty, all this commands that you tell me i got it save on a linux_commands.odt file for future reference :> [03:03] You can also gksudo leafpad to have a GUI text editor [03:03] !sudo [03:03] 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 [03:10] 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 [03:11] Pagedown 'til you see icon=lxterminal [03:15] 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? [03:17] Well, you can try, but it might be easier to just to find it with locate [03:17] how do i do that [03:18] locate terminal.{png,jpg,whatever the extension is :P) [03:18] once i do that how do i save it? i dont see save option in the terminal [03:19] ctrl+o [03:19] then xtrl+x [03:22] what button is M-A it means append [03:22] that's after i press ctrl+o [03:23] Just hit enter [03:23] hehehehe it work [03:23] ty Unit193 [03:24] You're welcome! [03:24] Did you get your grub sorted? [03:24] 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. [03:25] jmarsden: thnx for the tip. [03:25] Unit193: not yet [03:25] j0hndoe: You're welcome. [03:26] how do i add shutdown button back to the panel.. I accidentally deleted it, and can't change it back. [03:26] j0hndoe: Ask jmarsden, he's quite good at this (If he has the time as he's a dev) [03:26] KM0201 you might have to reset the whole panel, as a last resort. [03:27] j0hndoe: whats the command ot do that? [03:27] i'm willing to try that [03:27] i think you delete some file or folder, then relog [03:27] KM0201: I've heard that question asked before, but I don't remember the answer. Is it in the FAQ already? [03:27] jmarsden: i didn't look at the FAQ yet... didn't seem like something that would be there. [03:27] i have to leave, i'll be back in 15min.... [03:28] if you think of anything, id appreciate the advice. [03:28] KM0201: Always check the FAQ before asking a question, that's what it exists for :) OK. [03:28] Don't you just delete ~/.config/lxpanel/ ? [03:28] ya i think that's the one to reset the panel [03:31] 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, [03:32] sudo blkid shows this /dev/sda3: UUID="8e0b4d89-244d-4662-8b15-02a5f82520f0" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" [03:32] /dev/sda1: UUID="b652aef8-b567-412f-be51-d0a16bc0a69e" TYPE="ext4" [03:32] /dev/sda5: UUID="0e6a102a-7cb2-406e-b002-63fe08c6e126" TYPE="swap" [03:33] j0hndoe: Worst case, create a custom grub entry by hand in /etc/grub.d/40_custom for Puppy. [03:34] All the "detection" stuff is just trying to automate writing grub entries... so if it fails, write the entry yourself instead. [03:35] it would be easier with legacy grub ;) [03:37] jmarsden, ok ill try that. [03:37] 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] bioterror, isn't grub2 better than the legacy grub ? [03:37] j0hndoe, depends from who you ask [03:38] if you need GUID, you have no option ;) [03:38] jmarsden: i know how ot read an FAQ.... [03:38] KM0201: Cool, when you get an answer, add your question and its answer to it then :) [03:39] jmarsden: naa.. i don't do that [03:39] You do it you want to actually contribute back to the community... [03:39] jmarsden: some people contribute in other ways, i don't edit FAQ's, etc.. [03:40] brb [03:40] what would happen if we all would contribute by keeping things to ourself [03:40] is there a netboot lubuntu image? [03:41] Pegasus_RPG: Not officially, and not any that I know of unofficially either. [03:41] using the standard ubuntu one causes it to download a bunch of different packages, causing lots of cache misses for me [03:41] Pegasus_RPG, you mean PXE? [03:41] bioterror: yes [03:43] Pegasus_RPG, I have not tried to boot lubuntu from PXE [03:43] wish I had energy and time [03:43] I'm currently using ubuntu's standard image then I'll do apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [03:43] buut mini.iso ;) [03:44] boot [03:44] but I would like a more direct way :) [03:44] well, that didn't work [03:46] bioterror: should it just be a matter of dropping lubuntu's initrd.gz and linux files onto the PXE serveR? [03:46] lubuntu uses same initrd's and kernels as ubuntu [03:47] so what's different? the preseeds? [03:48] difference is what it starts to load after them ;) [03:48] instead of gdm it runs lxdm which runs openbox and then lxde stuff [03:52] bbl [04:02] well crap, now i lost nm-applet [04:11] well, igot my shutdown button back, but i lost my freaking networking applet. [04:14] 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] jmarsden: i restored my backup.. .. but for some reason my neworking applet didn't come back. [04:15] i backed it up before i reset it... [04:15] but resetting it didn't work anyway, i just got a blank panel [04:16] 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] .. [04:17] no, i understand, this just shouldn't be that difficult really. [04:17] if i had networking before i started this, and i restored my old config, i should have a panel. [04:17] basically like a new install. [04:17] i'll try your way though [04:18] brb [04:24] 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) [04:25] Ok, good. [06:48] hello all [06:59] Phillw : thank you for your help Lubuntu is configured is Good [07:00] phillw says you're welcome ;) === bodhizazen is now known as bodhi_zazen [16:20] hi [16:20] will gnome player ever be equipped to play dowloaded youtube videos? [16:21] it can. [16:21] already. [16:21] wait a sec [16:21] we're talking about gnome mplayer right? [16:22] yes, the default in lubuntu [16:22] it's pretty good, I like it [16:22] yah [16:22] yeah* [16:22] I have downloaded two or three videos from youtube it will not play [16:22] it does support playing flv files. [16:23] presumably your downloaded videos are flvs, right? [16:25] hmm, I'm not shore [16:25] in documents they end with .flv [16:26] I have just copied directly from youtube, and used youtube-dl form terminal [16:30] youtube-dl, right? could you give me a sample link? [16:30] i think some videos might come as mp4 [16:32] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTnHa8Ug05o [16:34] random example, I am downloading too just to check [16:34] I get the same with 3-4 videos I have dowloaded [16:35] about 3 I downloaded a few days ago play [16:36] lower resolution cames as.flv and higher like 720p and 1080p as mp [16:36] mp4 [16:36] I see [16:37] I must admit, I didn't pay much attention to resolution [16:39] it looks like I downlaoded in low resolution [16:42] all documents I downloaded end with .flv [16:42] and will not play [16:55] hmm youtube-dl doesn't even work for me for that address. [17:21] it works here hyperair [17:21] weird [17:24] hyperair, old version of youtube-dl? [17:33] i use greasemonkey w/ youtube downloader script, to download YT (standard dev, mp4's or flv's.. so it may not meet your needs) [17:38] silverarrow: what version of youtube-dl do you have? [17:39] VLC media player 1.2.0-git Twoflower [17:39] I opened in terminal [17:40] ._. [17:41] wait wait, i thought you said youtube-dl. [17:41] not vlc. [17:41] =_=" [17:41] nevermind, i just installed oneiric youtube-dl and it works. [17:49] oh sorry, I am making a mess here [17:49] i really don't know about youtube-dl, it only opens in terminal and nothing to check? [17:53] silverarrow: aha, it downloads webm format [17:53] not flv. [17:53] hmm [17:53] but mplayer works with webm! [17:54] not here [17:54] though gnomeplaye works with everything else [17:54] can you try running "mplayer blahblah.webm" in a terminal and see whatit says? [17:55] blahblah? [17:56] weird [17:56] change the blahblah to the name of the file of course >_> [17:56] it does save a webm file, right? [17:57] hyperair, to no result ? [17:57] if not, can you run "file filename.flv"? [17:57] .. [17:58] file filename.flv [17:58] file filename.flv [17:58] filename.flv: ERROR: cannot open `filename.flv' (No such file or directory) [17:58] sorry [18:23] how do I add libvlccore5 from package manager? [19:14] any way about streaming downloaded youtube videos? [19:14] vlc is majorly acting up [21:46] 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] anyone here? [21:46] but I get "no init found" [21:46] just wondering how I can edit the rc.xml for keybinds on lubuntu [21:46] is it just doing the same thing as openbox? [21:47] gentoo_drummer: lubuntu uses LXDE so maybe search the web for that [21:47] * Pegasus_RPG is new here too [21:48] Pegasus_RPG, ye, but lxde also includes openbox? [21:48] i don't know [21:48] if so, sure, give it a try ^_^ [22:16] just to show off http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Images/Desktop.png [22:30] ActionParsnip: haha nice. Running on a less-than-minimal system I see? [22:31] not so minimal, just libreoffice added [22:31] 3.1Gb installed. 229Mb RAM used [22:32] lol, slick [22:41] Size 40 lxpanel, then used imagemagic to stretch and monochrome the image to theme it [22:41] the rest is stock [22:44] http://imagebin.org/169673 [22:44] mine is boring.. :) [22:49] ah, no, it has 5.... only short1. [23:48] How can I change the login screen background in Lubuntu?
