[02:02] <X_already_in_use> anyone here a pro at using Transmission BitTorrent client on their lubuntu?
[02:04] <Unit193> I haven't really ever used Transmission as I don't like it, but there are 90 nicks in #transmission if you would like to ask there
[02:07] <X_already_in_use> I tried no one is answering, and I only use torrent when I want a quickie download of the file, cuz using the browser i get about 150-300 kB/s with torrent i get 1.4 mB/s
[02:09] <X_already_in_use> Usually closing the client should turn off the upload speed right? just wondering if that's the end of it, I've had other bad experience with other BitTorrent program like Pandora Media Booster than runs in the background and upload stuff without my knowledge, lol, took me a few days to figure it out, my internet was going nuts.
[02:10] <Unit193> If you close it and there is no tray icon, it's dead
[02:10] <Unit193> Also, you can open htop and make real sure it's not running if you don't trust it
[02:12] <X_already_in_use> open htop ? what's that
[02:12] <Unit193> !info htop
[02:15] <X_already_in_use> ty ill use that
[02:15] <jmarsden> Unit193: Why do you need htop for that?  ps -C transmission
[02:17] <X_already_in_use> ps -C transmission is that a command line
[02:18] <X_already_in_use> i tried it on the terminal it says   PID TTY          TIME CMD
[02:18] <jmarsden> Yes.  Then you don't have any processes called transmission running.
[02:19] <X_already_in_use> well actually I do... :O
[02:20] <X_already_in_use> oh nvm its called transmission-gtk
[02:20] <jmarsden> I don't think so.  maybe transmission-something...   right.
[02:20] <X_already_in_use> thnx for that command, ill save that on my Linux-Command.odt
[02:20] <X_already_in_use> :>  brb trying out other distro
[02:21] <jmarsden> You can also do   ps -ax |grep transmission    # to find processes with transmission in their name...
[02:37] <Unit193> jmarsden: You don't, it can just be easier for SOME
[02:38] <jmarsden> OK... Lubuntu is abotu being lightweight, so... if you can do something with the default install, IMO you should do so, not add extra programs unless they are really needed.
[02:39] <Unit193> Ah, I forgot that wasn't installed by default
[06:19] <Alchemik> Hi all.
[06:20] <Unit193> Really?
[12:08] <Genscher> Hey - are the daily builds useable? (and better in compare to the beta?)
[12:08] <silverarrow> hardly better
[12:08] <silverarrow> in general
[12:09] <silverarrow> might get an update or fix you look for though
[12:09] <head_victim> Basically it's the same as a beta that has been updated.
[12:09] <silverarrow> but I would consult the makers of them
[12:10] <silverarrow> for example, VLC 2 is stable enough to trust it seems
[12:14] <Genscher> ah nice to know. I'm going for a vacation with my netbook and wonder if Lubuntu can be trusted for that
[12:14] <head_victim> I've used Lubuntu for 2 releases now, it's always been good to me
[12:15] <Genscher> Thanks for your help :) Will download the daily and try it
[12:16] <head_victim> If you want stability I don't think a beta release is your best bet though unless you're used to dealing with developmental releases
[12:16] <silverarrow> yes, lubuntu have been trustworthy here too
[12:16] <Genscher> Well, as long as I don't get kernel panics.... ;)
[12:16] <silverarrow> though I would bring the live cd
[12:17] <silverarrow> I have had updates mess up grub
[12:17] <Genscher> only using the laptop for simple web surfing + gps routing
[12:18] <silverarrow> it works for any application really
[12:18] <Genscher> and i guess it beats Suse Linux anyway (came with Netbook preinstalled, left 10MB of 1,5GB free so I couldn't even play a normal video) :D
[12:19] <silverarrow> SUSE has grown big?
[12:20] <head_victim> Genscher: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall would also be a good look for a small hdd
[12:21] <silverarrow> how did you make lubuntu install Genscher ?
[12:21] <Genscher> Using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ on USB drive. 1.5GB RAM i meant, not HDD :)
[12:22] <silverarrow> I see
[12:23] <silverarrow> for usb booting puppy linux has some advantages
[12:24] <silverarrow> I'm not shore about 256MB RAM but it has a savefile function that works well
[12:36] <Trusardi> hey how to set keyboard shortcuts in lubuntu?
[12:36] <Trusardi> is it ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml file?
[12:37] <Trusardi> back
[12:38] <head_victim> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ#I_want_to_bind_a_key_to_lock_my_screen.2C_how_do_I_do_it.
[12:39] <head_victim> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ#I_want_to_bind_a_key_to_lock_my_screen.2C_how_do_I_do_it.3F that's better sorry for the long link
[12:39] <head_victim> It shows how to bind a key to the lock screen but you can use it as an example to bind keys to other commands.
[12:47] <Genscher> The graphicall installer doesn't like my netbook ;) "Unknown video mode 314" ;)
[12:49] <Genscher> well, old debian users need only test install mode right? ;)
[12:49] <head_victim> The text installer is a part of the alternate cd
[15:41] <usr13> Anyone know how to map F12 to lxterminal
[15:41] <usr13> ?
[15:43] <Genscher> google? ;)
[15:43] <Genscher> nah, i just have a question: Does anybody know how to circumvent the black screen bug?
[15:44] <Genscher> whenever the screensaver kicks in and i wan tto wake up the pc again, it stays almost black
[15:44] <Genscher> (i can see a glimpse of some windows, very dark)
[15:45] <frankbooth> usr13 you can add your own keybinds in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
[15:47] <frankbooth> usr13 like this:  <keybind key="F12"><action name="Execute"><command>lxterminal</command></action></keybind>
[15:48] <Genscher> is there a way to disable the screensaver?
[15:49] <Genscher> (finally got lubuntu installed, it's almost impossible on 576 screen height)
[15:51] <Genscher> andif lubuntu is supposed to be light, i wonder why there are 15 games installed ;)
[15:55] <frankbooth> Genscher the games are like 200kb big in total, to disable screensaver: Lubuntu-menu -> Preferences -> Screensaver
[15:56] <Genscher> frankbooth, thank you for your answer. Helped me alot :)
[16:14] <Genscher> btw: I love that lubuntu uses the "old style" menu! No Unity, Gnome 3 and stuff
[16:37] <usr13> Xsession:  unsupported number of arguments (2): falling back to default session
[16:38] <usr13> I get desktop background but no lxpanel
[16:39] <usr13> Actually, the error message is displayed in a window in the middle of the screen with  (okay) at bottom.  You click on (okay) and then you get desktop background but no lxpanel
[16:52] <Genscher> wlan didn't work since 3 packages were missing (broadcom) but works fine now :)
[16:58] <svkoskin> hello. is the installer included with lubuntu cd images similar to one in official ubuntu?
[16:59] <svkoskin> I need to shrink a NTFS partition and I'd especially like to know if the installer can do that
[17:39] <usr13> svkoskin: Yes
[17:39] <svkoskin> okay great
[17:46] <svkoskin> meh
[17:47] <svkoskin> it won't boot
[17:56] <Unit193> Oh do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man....
[18:52] <jmarsden> svkoskin: The installer on the Lubuntu LiveCD is ubiquity, and is *exactly* the same installer used on Ubuntu LiveCDs.  By the way, Lubuntu is "official Ubuntu" now, see the release announcement for the latest Oneiric Beta :)
[18:53] <svkoskin> I found that out a while ago :)
[18:54] <jmarsden> Ok, good.
[18:54] <svkoskin> the installer is finally as good as debian-installer used to be
[18:55] <jmarsden> Well, it has a tendency to demand more disk space than it really should for Lubuntu installs at the moment, but I'm working on fixing that...
[18:55] <svkoskin> SYSLINUX didn't work on my hardware, but I managed to make a bootable USB stick with unetbootin
[18:55] <svkoskin> and it worked perfectly
[18:56] <svkoskin> LXDE seems quite a nice software to my use even though I have got less than a year old laptop
[18:56] <jmarsden> OK... the other way around (unetbootin fails, but syslinux is fine) is more common -- but what matters it that you got it to work :)
[18:57] <jmarsden> svkoskin: Yes, there are people who like a lightweight desktop even on modern hardware.  It's good that we can give people that option with Lubuntu.
[18:58] <svkoskin> I liked KDE 3 but I don't find ánything I fancy on current Unity, KDE or Gnome
[18:58] <svkoskin> so it's great you bundle such a distro
[19:00] <jmarsden> Thanks!  gilir is the main developer of Lubuntu, I just help out here and there when I can.  And pcman is the driving force behind LXDE itself.
[19:00] <svkoskin> okay
[20:56] <shelly> I've got a fresh lubuntu install, and wonder if it's possible I might have messed something up.  When I move a window, it kind of skips across the screen rather than dragging smoothly.  This didn't happen in XP, so there's got to be a way in lub.  Older box with a celeron processor.
[22:34] <silverarrow1> hi
[22:34] <silverarrow1> I have discovered something new
[22:34] <silverarrow1> lubuntu system monitor easts up cpu and ram like massive
[22:35] <silverarrow1> htop is much lighter, runs in terminal
[22:35] <silverarrow1> shows more accurate loads
[22:37] <silverarrow1> especially for minimal systems
[23:13] <silverarrow1> hi
[23:13] <silverarrow1> any one who have experienced gnome freezing entire computer?
[23:15] <silverarrow1> anyone here this late?
[23:15] <phillw> present... does not use gnome
[23:15] <silverarrow1> gnome is usually rather good here
[23:16] <silverarrow1> sorry gnome mplayer
[23:16] <silverarrow1> that would be confusing
[23:16] <silverarrow1> I have found Tor packages in synaptic too
[23:16] <silverarrow1> which I am wondering about
[23:17] <phillw> silverarrow1: I'm actually busy trying to find out where some of our wiki pages vanished to in response to a request from the main forum area..... To say I am not pleased, would be an understatement!
[23:17] <silverarrow1> so there's no common reason why session freezes?
[23:18] <silverarrow1> linux or ubuntu?
[23:18] <silverarrow1> I am really happy with lubuntu, but issues do pop up
[23:19] <phillw> silverarrow1: the boys who play with programs would be better to help you. If none are about on IRC, you could be really cheeky and use ML. :P
[23:19] <silverarrow1> I have puppy too, but it's not full install,
[23:19] <silverarrow1> ML?
[23:19] <phillw> Mailing List :P
[23:19] <silverarrow1> cool
[23:19] <silverarrow1> if they allow amateurs
[23:20] <phillw> silverarrow1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ContactUs
[23:21] <phillw> silverarrow1: They allow me :D
[23:21] <silverarrow1> promising
[23:22] <silverarrow1> and you are not elevated above mere mortal user ?
[23:28] <phillw> silverarrow1: The decision was taken that none of us would wear 'badges'.
[23:28] <silverarrow1> lol
[23:28] <phillw> if you pop onto #lubuntu-offtopic I can better exaplain.
[23:58] <meway> how do I get java to work?
[23:58] <meway> or actually what command to install java?
