| Guest13605 | hello? | 01:36 |
| masaharustin | hello, would someone mind helping me? | 01:37 |
| masaharustin | what is the lubuntu netbook desktop? | 01:40 |
| Unit193 | It's just another view of things, try it to find out | 01:41 |
| masaharustin | what? | 01:42 |
| masaharustin | oh nvm, i was asking because i could not log into it | 01:42 |
| Unit193 | Odd, I'll try it next VBox install | 01:42 |
| masaharustin | the only desktops i can log into are default, lxde, lubuntu, and openbox (just freezes up) | 01:43 |
| tzhuang | anyone here use QQ chat? | 02:53 |
| tzhuang | or rahter anyone have it working in lubuntu? | 02:54 |
| Unit193 | Pidgin should support it | 02:55 |
| tzhuang | hmmm i can't seem to find it in the accounts selection | 02:57 |
| tzhuang | for the pidgin that comes bundled with lubuntu 11.10 anyway | 02:57 |
| Unit193 | It's listed as supported, but I have never used QQ :P Take a look at http://code.google.com/p/libqq-pidgin/ | 03:00 |
| Unit193 | tzhuang: "Note: Kopete, old versions of Pidgin, and any other client whose QQ support is based on libpurple no longer supports QQ as of May 2011" | 03:03 |
| tzhuang | Unit193: doh, thanks a lot for your help | 03:10 |
| KM0201 | whats QQ? | 03:14 |
| Unit193 | KM0201: China talk network | 03:15 |
| KM0201 | oh ok | 03:15 |
| wxl | KM0201: did u get it worrking? | 04:06 |
| KM0201 | wxl: sort of | 04:08 |
| wxl | how so? | 04:08 |
| KM0201 | i ended up install GDM, which works fine (even if a bit bloated) | 04:08 |
| KM0201 | only problem is, i can't figure out how to configure it... and when it loads up, it's just a black screen, w/ a window to choose a username | 04:08 |
| KM0201 | which.. in reality, is fine... i'd just like it to be a "little" better.. if i could just make that background blue, or some color other than black, it'd be gold | 04:08 |
| KM0201 | i'll look into it more tomorrow. | 04:08 |
| KM0201 | got tired of dealing w/ it | 04:08 |
| wxl | theming howto: http://slim.berlios.de/themes_howto.php | 04:09 |
| wxl | config is /us/etc/slim.conf | 04:09 |
| KM0201 | hmm, i'll check that out. | 04:10 |
| wxl | values are here http://slim.berlios.de/manual.php | 04:10 |
| bodhizazen | slim is very very easy to theme | 04:13 |
| KM0201 | yeah, but does it allow you to click a username? | 04:14 |
| wxl | what i was thinking was make dad the auto use | 04:15 |
| wxl | that way it automatically selects his name | 04:15 |
| KM0201 | oh i see | 04:15 |
| wxl | all he has to do is enter password | 04:15 |
| KM0201 | that may work | 04:15 |
| wxl | since sis don't care, she can click to login as different user | 04:15 |
| bodhizazen | I do not think slim will do that | 04:16 |
| bodhizazen | If you have multiple users, personally I would use gdm, switch users is very handy | 04:16 |
| bodhizazen | you can configure slim to auto login | 04:17 |
| KM0201 | bodhizazen: yeah, i got that working, like i said, i just can't figure out how to configure the background on gdm from lxde | 04:17 |
| wxl | he doesn't want auto login | 04:17 |
| KM0201 | i don't want auto login | 04:17 |
| wxl | he wantss it to be REALLY EASY for one user | 04:17 |
| KM0201 | exactly | 04:17 |
| wxl | but still require an authenticated login | 04:17 |
| bodhizazen | oic, slim will do that | 04:18 |
| KM0201 | yea... i'll figure somethng out. | 04:18 |
| bodhizazen | the config file is well commented =) | 04:18 |
| KM0201 | GDM works, if i figure out how to make it just *a little* better, the black background is a bit much, if i could just change it to a blue, or something, it'd b efine, but even the black will work, if necessary | 04:19 |
| bodhizazen | default_user your_father | 04:20 |
| bodhizazen | auto_login no | 04:20 |
| wxl | weren't you also looking for something a bit more lightweight or did i misunderstand? | 04:20 |
| KM0201 | yes, i was | 04:20 |
| wxl | there ya go | 04:20 |
| wxl | anywho, when you feel up to it, it will do what you want | 04:20 |
| KM0201 | yeah | 04:21 |
| KM0201 | just don't understand why lightdm seems to work so well with unity/ubuntu, but bricks lxdm | 04:24 |
| KM0201 | *lubuntu | 04:24 |
| wxl | that is strange | 04:27 |
| wxl | should check the logs for errors | 04:28 |
| wxl | might be some bugs up in there | 04:28 |
| KM0201 | i'm sure. | 04:28 |
| wxl | i'd also fine tooth comb that config file | 04:28 |
| KM0201 | just seemds odd, that it seems to work flawlessly w/ the other ubuntu flavors, just not lubuntu | 04:28 |
| wxl | http://lubuntublog.blogspot.com/2011/07/lightdm-on-lubuntu.html interesting | 04:29 |
| KM0201 | and he says it works, unusual | 04:30 |
| bodhizazen | what is your problem with lightdm , what do you mean "it bricks" ? | 04:31 |
| KM0201 | bodhizazen: soon as i install it, my virtual install fails to boot (i had the same problem on actual installs, in 11.04)... i reboot to recovery, reconfigure to use lxdm, and all works perfectly | 04:32 |
| bodhizazen | at what point in the boot process does it hang ? | 04:33 |
| KM0201 | unfortunately, i'm not sure on that | 04:33 |
| wxl | and what were the symptoms again? | 04:33 |
| bodhizazen | edit your kernel line and remove quiet and splash | 04:33 |
| KM0201 | it just stops booting, black screen.. thats it. | 04:33 |
| Unit193 | What exactly do you install? Just lightdm? | 04:34 |
| KM0201 | yeah | 04:34 |
| bodhizazen | install openssh server and ssh in from a second box and look at the logs | 04:34 |
| Unit193 | Ah! You need a greeter too! | 04:34 |
| KM0201 | like? | 04:34 |
| wxl | wtf is a greeter? | 04:34 |
| bodhizazen | a greeter is one of those folks outside Walmart ... | 04:35 |
| Unit193 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM | 04:36 |
| Unit193 | bodhizazen: Heh +@ | 04:36 |
| Unit193 | 1 | 04:36 |
| KM0201 | i'll try it and see hat happens | 04:36 |
| KM0201 | it'll be a couple minuts though | 04:36 |
| Unit193 | lightdm --test-mode | 04:36 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | lightdm-gtk-greete | 04:37 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | lightdm-gtk-greeter | 04:37 |
| Unit193 | bodhizazen: You happen to know resource usage comparison of slim, lightdm, and LXDM? | 04:37 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | thats the package name in the repo | 04:37 |
| KM0201 | why is that not installed by default as a dependency | 04:38 |
| wxl | is lightdm the only dm that requires a greeter? | 04:38 |
| Unit193 | I'm not sure if GDM installs a basic one or not | 04:38 |
| bodhizazen | Unit193, no, I have not found the login managers to be all *that* heavy on resources, but if I need to squeeze more performance out of an old machine, I disable them and then log in and startx | 04:39 |
| wxl | bodhizazen: there is one alternative | 04:40 |
| KM0201 | bodhizazen: you're trying to make my dad kill me by suggesting that..lol | 04:40 |
| wxl | which will make KM0201 laugh | 04:40 |
| wxl | and that's CDM: console display manager :D | 04:40 |
| KM0201 | lol | 04:40 |
| wxl | which is about as cute as an idea as ratpoison | 04:40 |
| KM0201 | well, lets face it, it works | 04:41 |
| KM0201 | flawlessly | 04:41 |
| bodhizazen | lol | 04:41 |
| KM0201 | but.. sighs.. not for him. | 04:41 |
| wxl | yep and you know what to expect from the gui ;) | 04:41 |
| KM0201 | yeah, hopefully i can get lightdm working properly | 04:41 |
| KM0201 | i've not saw that testing repo yet | 04:42 |
| KM0201 | but that testing repo is for natty. | 04:42 |
| KM0201 | but i guess i can just install all those packages from the normal ubuntu repos. | 04:42 |
| KM0201 | linux though, is the perfect OS for them. | 04:43 |
| KM0201 | i was clearing viruses/malware off of that pC weekly, cuz they were just to dense and clicking on links in random emails, pop ups, etc | 04:43 |
| KM0201 | now, i just ssh in once a week, update, and thats that | 04:43 |
| Unit193 | Try not to get too offtopic though | 04:43 |
| KM0201 | Unit193: wxl bodhizazen when i try to reconfigure lightdm, i get this error... http://pastebin.com/zv2upusu | 04:54 |
| KM0201 | looks like it says its missing something called dpkg-maint? | 04:55 |
| KM0201 | pastebin.com/a2qFZ7RH | 04:58 |
| KM0201 | http://pastebin.com/a2qFZ7RH | 04:58 |
| KM0201 | thats the winner right there | 04:58 |
| KM0201 | now the question is, why doesn't lightdm call for that when it installs.. that would strike me as a bug. | 04:59 |
| KM0201 | lemme see if thats the prob, i just installed it | 04:59 |
| KM0201 | hmm, nope | 05:01 |
| KM0201 | still getting that error when i try to reconfigure, only now when i "test".. i get a black window bouncing all over the place | 05:01 |
| KM0201 | lets see what happenson reboot | 05:01 |
| KM0201 | is anybody listening, or am i talking to myself? | 05:01 |
| KM0201 | wxl: ? Unit193 ? bodhizazen ? | 05:03 |
| wxl | sorry | 05:04 |
| wxl | working on it | 05:04 |
| KM0201 | no prob | 05:04 |
| KM0201 | i thought i had it w/ that error, installed that xephyr package, but still crayz, i'm gonna try to ssh in and look at the logs | 05:04 |
| wxl | did u get the greeter? | 05:05 |
| KM0201 | no | 05:05 |
| KM0201 | screen just flashes | 05:05 |
| wxl | it is necessary | 05:06 |
| wxl | did you remove gdm? | 05:06 |
| KM0201 | oh,i mean yes, it installed | 05:06 |
| wxl | ok | 05:06 |
| KM0201 | i meant, i'm not getting the screen where i can choose a login name | 05:06 |
| KM0201 | yes, gdm is removed | 05:07 |
| KM0201 | wxl: where would the log for this be? | 05:11 |
| wxl | is there a ~/.dmrc? | 05:11 |
| wxl | well of course /var/log/syslog for general | 05:12 |
| KM0201 | yeah | 05:12 |
| wxl | more specifically..... | 05:12 |
| KM0201 | no, i don't see a /.drmc (under my home) | 05:12 |
| wxl | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/809890 | 05:13 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 809890 in lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) "lightdm-example-gtk-greeter crashed with SIGSEGV in __strcmp_ssse3()" [Medium,Fix released] | 05:13 |
| wxl | ^^^ talks about the problem being related to .dmrc | 05:13 |
| KM0201 | the problem is, i never get to the screen that lets me choose "other" | 05:13 |
| wxl | /var/log/lightdm | 05:14 |
| wxl | makes sense :D | 05:14 |
| KM0201 | lightdm.log, is empty | 05:14 |
| wxl | i meant /var/log/lightdm/ | 05:15 |
| KM0201 | yeah, i know | 05:15 |
| KM0201 | and it's empty | 05:15 |
| wxl | hmm | 05:15 |
| wxl | it's not loading the greeter is what it seems | 05:15 |
| KM0201 | thats what it seems | 05:15 |
| wxl | huh there's a webkit greeter out there | 05:17 |
| KM0201 | don't think thats related | 05:21 |
| wxl | there should be an /etc/init/lightdm.conf? | 05:22 |
| KM0201 | yup, there is | 05:24 |
| wxl | wuz the contents? | 05:25 |
| KM0201 | um, hang on | 05:25 |
| wxl | it's weird lightdm.log isn't there | 05:25 |
| wxl | THAT suggests lightdm isn't starting period | 05:25 |
| KM0201 | well, lightdm.log is there.. it's just empty | 05:25 |
| wxl | de facto the same | 05:26 |
| KM0201 | u say so... http://pastebin.com/8DKb6MXm | 05:27 |
| wxl | no i mean empty is effectively the same as not there | 05:28 |
| KM0201 | oh ok, gotcha | 05:28 |
| wxl | oh i give up :D | 05:30 |
| KM0201 | hold, log is full now | 05:32 |
| KM0201 | i had to SSH in to get something | 05:32 |
| KM0201 | how do i pastebin the contents of a file?... since nano sucks for this. | 05:32 |
| wxl | uhh i forgot the command for that | 05:33 |
| wxl | and nano???? ewwww | 05:33 |
| KM0201 | well, if vi will let me select all/copy/paste into a pastebin, then that will work | 05:33 |
| KM0201 | but i don't think it will (i've just used nano so long, i like it) | 05:33 |
| wxl | if you can do xterm mouse you can | 05:34 |
| wxl | visual mode | 05:34 |
| wxl | pastebinit is the command | 05:34 |
| wxl | so you could cat /some/log | pastebinit | 05:34 |
| KM0201 | how do you exit vi? | 05:35 |
| wxl | ZZ to save or :q! to quit | 05:36 |
| wxl | assuming you escape first | 05:36 |
| KM0201 | i got it. | 05:36 |
| wxl | you have to be in command mode not insert mode | 05:36 |
| KM0201 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/708378/ | 05:36 |
| KM0201 | thats lightdm.log | 05:37 |
| wxl | do you have other logs in there? | 05:37 |
| KM0201 | i believe there's an x-log | 05:37 |
| KM0201 | lemme check it | 05:37 |
| wxl | check out line 38 | 05:38 |
| wxl | go check the permissions | 05:38 |
| wxl | oh wait that doesn't make sense | 05:38 |
| wxl | that's not a permissions issue | 05:38 |
| KM0201 | here's the x-0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/708381/ | 05:39 |
| KM0201 | also under lightdm | 05:39 |
| KM0201 | looks like it's saying the problem is the "vboxvideo" module? | 05:40 |
| wxl | 3222 is trying to load unity greeter | 05:40 |
| KM0201 | i saw that | 05:41 |
| KM0201 | think i should uninstall that? | 05:41 |
| wxl | maybe | 05:41 |
| wxl | i wish it was clear how to set the greeter of choice | 05:41 |
| KM0201 | yea | 05:42 |
| KM0201 | i just set the greetter to lxdm, so i can remove unity greeter | 05:42 |
| wxl | http://bobthegnome.blogspot.com/2010/07/lightdm.html | 05:43 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 05:44 |
| wxl | but yeah it seem that vbox i messing with you too | 05:44 |
| KM0201 | but.. | 05:45 |
| KM0201 | like i said, on 11.04, i got the exact same behavior, on an actual install | 05:45 |
| wxl | i know what youre thinking | 05:45 |
| KM0201 | ? | 05:45 |
| wxl | that | 05:45 |
| KM0201 | lol | 05:45 |
| KM0201 | am ithat predictable? | 05:46 |
| wxl | hehehe | 05:47 |
| KM0201 | man, this is frustrating | 05:47 |
| KM0201 | that repo 404'd | 05:47 |
| wxl | that and that's your xorg log | 05:47 |
| wxl | that vbox fail should be on ANY variation of x | 05:47 |
| wxl | ugh | 05:47 |
| wxl | man dude i wnat to help you like crazy but i just don't know | 05:47 |
| wxl | can i suggest slim? :D | 05:47 |
| KM0201 | lol | 05:47 |
| KM0201 | i might try slim | 05:48 |
| KM0201 | well, i'm gonna hit the rack, tired | 05:51 |
| KM0201 | thanks for your help | 05:51 |
| wxl | i'm kinda with ya on that one | 05:51 |

| dlirit | is there a way to move to lubuntu from an already installed ubuntu 11.04? | 10:55 |
| ploppel | hello! I want to deinstall lubuntu, can someone please help me? | 10:55 |
| ploppel | I thought it would be enough to erase the folder on C: but there isn't any ... | 10:56 |
| dlirit | oh nm, I see it on the wiki | 10:57 |
| dlirit | I'm on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/UpgradeToLubuntu and seeing there's only instructions to upgrade from 10.X and not 11.X | 10:57 |
| dlirit | I guess they would be the same, unless someone can corect me | 10:57 |
| dlirit | *correct | 10:57 |

| phillw | dlirit: hi, I've just checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/UpgradeToLubuntu and it does say "For 10.10 and later", 11.10 is 'later' :) | 11:46 |
| dlirit | weird though | 11:58 |
| dlirit | I just ran the apt-get update and install (with --no-install-recommends) and I only got packages to install, none is removed... | 11:58 |
| dlirit | so I should run http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxdenatty ? | 11:59 |
| dlirit | can I run those commands from purelxdenatty site AFTER the upgrade to lubuntu-desktop? | 11:59 |
| hulaka | Got lubuntu 11.10. When right-click on desktop I accidently changed the menu that shows up. Now it's some OpenBox menu - how to change it back? | 15:48 |
| arturo | help buffer | 15:48 |
| hulaka | By the way - why in almost every software fonts look so small and ugly? Same with some websites - though on ceratin fonts look smaller, on other bigger | 15:58 |
| hulaka | On Ubuntu it all looked ok ... now using Lubuntu 11.10 and it just looks different ... and worse | 15:59 |
| arturo | window splitv | 16:00 |
| hulaka | ? | 16:03 |
| hosoka | hello all | 16:30 |
| hosoka | if one could help me out to use lxdm for autologin purpose. Currently running Lubuntu 10.10 | 16:31 |
| silverlightning | There is a way to get autologin back | 16:33 |
| hosoka | i found a docu of this but was not able to activate it | 16:33 |
| silverlightning | hosoka, did you choose autologin during install ? | 16:33 |
| hosoka | I had used gdm next to it but now I would like to use the lxdm instead. | 16:33 |
| hosoka | there was no option for that with my alternative cd installation. | 16:34 |
| silverlightning | I'm with you | 16:34 |
| hosoka | is there a way afterwards ? | 16:34 |
| silverlightning | hmm, a bit tricky | 16:34 |
| hosoka | I know that there is a lxdm config file | 16:37 |
| hosoka | but once I entered my username at the autologin= | 16:37 |
| hosoka | it mentioned to me that I am not able to save the file | 16:37 |
| hosoka | silverlightning: the autologin during install is where you are installing Ubuntu from CD. I remember this one :-) | 16:38 |
| silverlightning | I usually disable login at all | 16:38 |
| silverlightning | i mean enable autologin, | 16:39 |
| hulaka | By the way - why in almost every software fonts look so small and ugly? Same with some websites - though on ceratin fonts look smaller, on other bigger | 16:39 |
| silverlightning | you mean windows manager? | 16:40 |
| hulaka | I mean that on software (like Libreoffice) fonts look bad, smaller and worse than on Ubuntu | 16:40 |
| hulaka | using Lubuntu 11.10 /64bit now | 16:40 |
| hulaka | not everywhere ... on some software, on some websites | 16:41 |
| silverlightning | I don't notice much change? | 16:41 |
| silverlightning | I know it differs on some hardware | 16:42 |
| hulaka | http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/3286/screem3o.png | 16:42 |
| silverlightning | maybe it's the windows manager or gui? | 16:42 |
| hulaka | screenshot, though it doesn't fully show what's exactly wrong | 16:42 |
| hosoka | i have found the lxdm.conf file | 16:44 |
| hosoka | but how to change the autologin in this file and safe it back. | 16:44 |
| silverlightning | to me xchat always looks like that | 16:45 |
| hosoka | is there a way to change the lxdm.conf file | 16:45 |
| silverlightning | probably, but I don't dare give any suggestions | 16:45 |
| hulaka | what about libre? eh I don't know, maybe it's just how lubuntu looks | 16:45 |
| hulaka | though, I don't understand why fonts on same sites, on same browser look different on Lubuntu & Ubuntu | 16:46 |
| silverlightning | I have libre office, and right now pigin | 16:47 |
| hulaka | does it look the same as in screenshot? | 16:47 |
| silverlightning | yes pretty much | 16:47 |
| hulaka | heh ok | 16:48 |
| silverlightning | I am in lubuntu right now too | 16:48 |
| silverlightning | I have Ubuntu 11.10 on a different laptop, but I could not detect much difference in word processor | 16:48 |
| hulaka | >.> | 16:49 |
| silverlightning | At least probably thought it was because of better graphics and resolution? | 16:49 |
| hulaka | maybe | 16:49 |
| hulaka | two more question though, nothing serious now: | 16:50 |
| silverlightning | hulaka, would lxde be that different from gnome unity? | 16:50 |
| silverlightning | on printing it is exactly the same | 16:50 |
| hulaka | It's not THAT different, it's small differences | 16:51 |
| silverlightning | I see | 16:51 |
| hulaka | but they're pissing me off | 16:51 |
| silverlightning | lol | 16:51 |
| silverlightning | it is on the same computer? | 16:51 |
| hulaka | Yes | 16:51 |
| hulaka | Whatever though | 16:52 |
| hulaka | I doubt someone will help me with this | 16:52 |
| hulaka | My linux set up is always wrong in this or other way | 16:52 |
| hulaka | Guess Im used to that | 16:53 |
| hulaka | Other thing: Right-clicked on the desktop & accidently I switched something | 16:54 |
| hulaka | Now in stead of normal menu that pops up when right clicking on desktop | 16:54 |
| hulaka | I got OpenBox menu | 16:54 |
| hulaka | know how to change it back? | 16:54 |
| silverlightning | major messing | 16:56 |
| silverlightning | rightclick again? | 16:57 |
| silverlightning | desktop preferences ? | 16:57 |
| hulaka | no desktop preferences | 16:57 |
| hulaka | got ObConf | 16:57 |
| hulaka | which is OpenBox Configuration Menager | 16:58 |
| hulaka | got "Restart" which kinda refresh desktop or whatever | 16:58 |
| hulaka | got "Reconfigure" which doesn't do anything (seenable ...) | 16:58 |
| hulaka | got "Exit" that basically turn offs the panel | 16:59 |
| hulaka | and blocks right click and what not (restarting PC helped) | 17:00 |
| hulaka | there's also Terminal emulator & Web Browser | 17:00 |
| hulaka | which works how the name suggests | 17:00 |
| hulaka | and also some simple desktop switcher | 17:00 |
| hulaka | but no desktop preferences | 17:01 |
| hulaka | I mean ... this doesn't look like major messing | 17:01 |
| hulaka | especially since it was easily (accidently) done | 17:02 |
| hulaka | but can't change it for shit | 17:02 |
| NRWlion | evening folks | 17:03 |
| hulaka | hello ... | 17:03 |
| hulaka | any idea how change menu that pops up when right clicking on desktop? | 17:04 |
| hulaka | I accidently changed it and now have some OpenBox menu | 17:04 |
| silverlightning | I get lxde preferences when I right click | 17:04 |
| silverlightning | as option | 17:04 |
| silverlightning | settings in open box config manager? | 17:05 |
| hulaka | well there are some settings | 17:06 |
| hulaka | but nothing that could change the right click menu | 17:06 |
| hulaka | jesus ... isn't there some "set default" button for desktop | 17:07 |
| hulaka | linux can be hella problematic ... | 17:07 |
| silverlightning | jesus usually doesn't help with computer issues | 17:07 |
| hulaka | i doubt he helps with any issues | 17:08 |
| hulaka | it just stupid mistake I made and I don't understand how it can't be undone | 17:08 |
| hulaka | stupid right-click menu ... I mean ... come ooon | 17:09 |
| silverlightning | sorry I'm not good with this | 17:10 |
| silverlightning | there is a lxde channel | 17:11 |
| silverlightning | there are usually a few here that are good with lubuntu | 17:11 |
| hulaka | how it's called? | 17:11 |
| KM0201 | hulaka: did you check that box "show menus provided by window managers when desktop is clicked"? (sorry, i'm late) | 17:12 |
| silverlightning | #lxde | 17:12 |
| hulaka | KM - probably | 17:12 |
| hulaka | Don't remember well | 17:12 |
| hulaka | can it be undone? | 17:13 |
| hulaka | that's how it looks: http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/7176/screen5p.png | 17:14 |
| silverlightning | ...you are where no man has been before | 17:17 |
| hulaka | lool | 17:18 |
| hulaka | what do you even talk bout | 17:18 |
| hulaka | it was so easily made | 17:18 |
| hulaka | oh, why I didn't check the internet for what KM wrote | 17:19 |
| hulaka | people been there | 17:19 |
| hulaka | though, now we'll see if there's a solution ... | 17:19 |
| thegladiator | how do I remove the desktop icon's shadow ? | 17:20 |
| silverlightning | lol | 17:20 |
| silverlightning | the gladiator, probably settings under preferances | 17:21 |
| hulaka | pcmanfm --desktop-pref | 17:21 |
| hulaka | + terminal | 17:21 |
| hulaka | solved :) | 17:21 |
| silverlightning | great | 17:21 |
| silverlightning | very clever of you | 17:22 |
| silverlightning | thegladiator: menu-preferences. open box config? | 17:22 |
| silverlightning | hulaka: how did it happen in the first place? | 17:22 |
| thegladiator | how do I remove the lwhere i menu pref | 17:23 |
| hulaka | well, it's probably connected with my research of small fonts problem | 17:23 |
| hulaka | probably thought that checking that box will change anything | 17:23 |
| hulaka | or indeed did it accidently | 17:24 |
| hulaka | I don't know, doesn't matter | 17:24 |
| silverlightning | these things happen | 17:24 |
| silverlightning | I usually mess up in terminal | 17:24 |
| silverlightning | I all kinds of weird issues after following a guide some where | 17:25 |
| silverlightning | or any of the suggestions you get here lol | 17:25 |
| hulaka | well, linux set up is always problematic for me | 17:26 |
| hulaka | something is always wrong | 17:26 |
| hulaka | especially since i have a lil paranoia | 17:26 |
| hulaka | and i want everything to be set ok | 17:26 |
| hulaka | so when something is wrong I go crazy :P | 17:26 |

| hulaka | Any idea why some fonts in Lubuntu 11.10 (mostly in some software & some websites) look smaller & ugly? Libreoffice looks just terrible | 19:04 |
| KM0201 | look fine to me | 19:05 |
| hulaka | >.< | 19:05 |
| hulaka | I don't know ... so small, basically something wrong with it too cause even when I write something in Libre | 19:05 |

| tzhuang | hello. does anyone know whats a permanent way to map caps lock in lubuntu | 19:30 |
| tzhuang | google search gets me to xmodmap but it resets after boot | 19:33 |
| dmorfin | how do we edit menus under 11.10? I tried using alacarte (like I used to) and it complains about gnome-panel not being installed... I went to install that, and it said it would conflicted with 151 packages.. | 19:44 |
| KM0201 | alacarte has never worked under lxde. you edit menus by edtinga configuration file | 19:45 |
| KM0201 | i think its in the FAQ... | 19:45 |
| KM0201 | !faq | 19:45 |
| ubot5 | A list of common questions and answers about Ubuntu: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions - Official documentation: http://help.ubuntu.com | 19:45 |
| KM0201 | hmm, thats not it | 19:46 |
| KM0201 | hold on | 19:46 |
| dmorfin | alacarte worked for me until yesterday ;) | 19:47 |
| KM0201 | with LXDE? | 19:47 |
| KM0201 | that would reallys urprise me | 19:48 |
| dmorfin | yes | 19:48 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 19:48 |
| dmorfin | then when I upgraded to 11.10, it decided that gnome-panel invalidates the world of packages (things like qt, virtualbox, vlc, etc) | 19:48 |
| dmorfin | I should say, I'm running with Menu configured for my panel, and alacarte lets you edit that | 19:51 |
| dmorfin | it didn't let me edit the desktop menu | 19:51 |
| kylpo | I haven't found a change log for lubuntu 11.10. Anyone have a link or able to tell me some changes? | 19:57 |
| tzhuang | who's the lubuntu guru here? | 20:08 |
| Unit193 | !ask | 20:09 |
| ubot5 | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 20:09 |
| Unit193 | tzhuang: You get QQ working? | 20:09 |
| dmorfin | anybody know if lxmenuedit is available in some package? | 20:09 |
| tzhuang | !ask | 20:09 |
| tzhuang | Unit193: naw =P i went to do other stuff | 20:09 |
| tzhuang | Unit193: i just obliterated all of my harddrive reinsatlling winxp and lubuntu | 20:10 |
| tzhuang | Unit193: so there's a lot of housekeeping to do. one thing keeps popping up after the next | 20:10 |
| tzhuang | Unit193: like i'll want to edit my bashrc but then i realized my caps kep wasnt mapped to my ESC anymore | 20:10 |
| tzhuang | Unit193: so then i went to do that and then my backup files were on my windows partition so i was looking into automount | 20:11 |
| tzhuang | Unit193: well you get the picture | 20:11 |
| tzhuang | why does sylpheed freeze up when it's grabbing mail. i'd like to use it over tbird because it's integrated | 20:22 |
| trakinas | hey guys! | 23:22 |
| trakinas | my network applet has vanished after an update. how to fix that? | 23:22 |
| KM0201 | have yout ried restarting? | 23:24 |
| tzhuang | does lubuntu support minimize to tray for tbird? | 23:33 |
| trakinas | KM0201: in fact, is not me. is my sister. I hate to give her support over telephone. I don't have any idea if she has reseted it. I dont have any idea how her screen shows up to her. all I know is that she cant connect to the internet. | 23:52 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 23:52 |
| trakinas | *s/reseted/restarted/rg | 23:52 |
| KM0201 | well, i'd first start by asking her to restart | 23:53 |
| trakinas | KM0201: she said it has vanished before today - so it means she has already turned it on and off. | 23:54 |
| tzhuang | does lubuntu support minimize to tray for tbird? | 23:58 |
