[00:59] is there a way to encrypt the stored passwords in chromium with "chromium-browser --password-store=gnome"? it doesn't work in my lubuntu 11.10 box. === semitones is now known as sillytones [02:52] upgraded to Lubuntu 11.10 but it was aborted before "cleaning up" [02:52] showed failed to install something [02:55] and can't see network icon on the bar. seems it's merged as both are black! [02:59] if it didn't upgraded properly, what should I do? [03:00] is there any way to check it out? [03:01] that did it properly upgrade or not! [03:25] hi, I'm trying to switch the window manager to compiz in 11.10, tried to add a custom .desktop file to /etc/xdg/autostart and it's still not showing up in the autostart desktop session settings. Also just tried switching the openbox-lxde to compiz but still using openbox... [03:39] fixed it, just changed settings in /etc/xdg/L* to compiz instead of openbox [03:51] how do i turn off the power management in lubuntu? i checked the desktop session settings and its not even checked and i cant seem to find the settings on menu either. [03:51] any help would be appreciated. :) [04:30] weird, it only activated once...hmm [05:11] hi === l33_ is now known as l33o [05:18] low [05:22] ;) [05:22] lubuntu 11.10 is working very smooth here :) [05:22] only the cpu fan of my laptop is allways running [05:23] but i guess this has something todo with kernel 3 and the bigger power consumption [05:23] mayb i will tune it with fancontrol [05:29] Hello. My installation is frozen. Can somebody help? [05:29] maybe i can [05:30] LucMove - please explain frozen...when, where,how? [05:30] I answered all questions - I think. Then it displayed each one of those nice "distracting" screens... [05:31] The last one is displayed right now, "Getting Help" [05:31] never sas a getting help message [05:32] running lubuntu here on an old cheap laptop and on a n old cheap pc, both working perfect [05:32] Yes, it does. It is a sequence of slides run during installation. The last slide is titled "Getting Help". [05:32] do you have a pc? is a nvidia gfx card built in? [05:32] The cursor has become a wristwatch and I get no feedback on what is going on. [05:32] okay [05:33] I opened a terminal and ran df -h, it shows me that the target partition is mounted, but not touched. [05:33] All original free space remains free. [05:33] first [05:34] you can look, if you can switch to another terminal ny pressing and howlding down cntrl + alt + F2 [05:34] yes, I can [05:34] okay...maybe just restart and boot again [05:35] sigh [05:35] maybe not directly install, but first load to live session and from the install icon from the live desktop then do the install [05:35] do you have raid? [05:35] no, I don't [05:35] And I am on live session. [05:35] are you using a cd or a usb stick as boot device [05:35] good. no raid [05:35] usb [05:35] how did you made the usb stick? [05:35] unetbootin [05:36] okay - unetbootin works here [05:36] but [05:36] it is sometimes a lil unstable [05:36] I don't have a CD drive. [05:36] maybe try to setup the lubuntu boot usb stick with the ubuntu startup app in the menu, no with unetbootin [05:36] telephone [05:36] sec please [05:36] It would help if distros began to wake up to the 21st century and provided usb stick images... [05:37] what do you mean by "setup the lubuntu boot usb stick with the ubuntu startup app in the menu, no with unetbootin"? [05:38] Sounds like you're suggesting a procedure I am not familiar with. [05:42] back [05:42] so, [05:42] first linux and ubuntu are ready to boot from usb - instead of windows [05:43] on ubuntu, go so start menu, then system tools: there you find the startup disc creator [05:43] but, first you should fomrat the stick with the disc utility [05:43] format as ext4 [05:43] No, I don't have tha. [05:43] that [05:44] are yourunning ubuntu [05:44] ? [05:44] lubuntu, live boot [05:44] okay [05:44] you can install then the startup disc creator [05:45] very small app from the original usbb repo [05:46] lost connection [05:47] ;) [05:50] Well, I have Startup Disc Creator [05:50] good [05:50] now, you used your stick, so probably its formatted for usb boot [05:50] But the only usb stick I have is this one running the live session [05:51] try to setp ubuntu live on your usb stick - if this wont work you have to format the usb stick again [05:51] okay - then you have to install the live session you are using and then boot up to this installed ubuntu then and install to usb stick [05:51] Is everything loaded in RAM? Can I erase/overwrite the current usb stick and the live session will not choke and die? [05:52] no, i guess not [05:52] which lubuntu are you now using ? [05:52] latest [05:52] okay, then it works [05:52] 11.10, right? [05:52] yes [05:52] on the gesktop you find the install icon right? [05:52] yes [05:52] have you tried to install from this point ? [05:53] that's what I used, and here I am [05:53] looking for help [05:53] k [05:53] try again [05:53] and please tell me [05:54] first you choose language and keyboard [05:54] done ? [05:54] maybe you made some wrong settings with the partition manager [05:55] I am pretty sure I did everything right. [05:55] best is to format the first partition with ext4 and another as swap, mount the ext4 partition as root [05:55] and install the bootloader grub to the first sector of the harddisc, not in the firdt partition [05:56] I skipped grub [05:56] you need grub i think [05:56] why you skipped grub [05:56] Best is for the installer to ask, Hey, should I mess with your existing Grub layout that has been working flawlessly for years? Not anything else. [05:57] as a first start, please follow the installation routine the installer offers you [05:57] okay [05:57] right [05:57] you ve got grub allready installed - didnt know that [05:57] then leave the grubinstall [05:57] My existing grub uses a menu.1st file in a tiny partition that exists just for that [05:57] k [05:58] try to run the lubuntu install now [06:00] again? [06:00] what about the Make Startup Disc thing? [06:02] you dont need it [06:02] But the current usb stick is not working [06:02] because you setup lubuntu to the usb stick allready [06:02] is is [06:02] It has failed twice [06:02] otherwise you would be able to boot up live [06:03] can you please tell me exactly at which point the install freezes? [06:03] you usb stick seems to work [06:03] Welcome - select language [06:03] is there enough space on the harddisc? [06:04] yes [06:04] 5 GB [06:04] allright [06:04] go on [06:04] Preparing to install Lubuntu [06:04] good [06:04] green light on all three requirements [06:04] go on [06:04] dont download updates while installing [06:05] dont install third party software and codecs [06:05] yes, I unchecked that this time [06:05] k [06:05] dealing with partitioning... [06:05] k [06:06] one big linux partition with mount poin / [06:06] sda6 -> ext4, mount as / [06:06] one maybe 700mb as swap [06:06] yes [06:06] good, go ahead [06:07] sda7 -> ext4, mount as /var [06:07] swap is 2 GB [06:07] all of these pre formatted [06:07] mmmm.....i am using only one partition and one swap [06:07] swap is too big but shouldnt be the problem [06:07] normally 1 gig should be enough as swap [06:07] how many ram is installed? [06:07] 2 GB [06:08] same size for hard disk hibernation [06:08] okay, then 1 gb swap should be perfect [06:08] mmmm [06:08] device for boot loader: /dev/sda2, a FAT32 partition. I dont want to change my sda boot sector. [06:09] stop [06:09] i think hibernation is the problem [06:09] no, it isn't. I never used that. [06:10] I just keep the size in hopes that someday Linux will be able to do that properly. sigh... [06:10] But I never use it because it never really works right in Linux [06:11] k [06:11] Waiting to click the Install Now button... [06:12] launched [06:12] now I see a world map and a Continue button [06:12] the right time zone is selected already [06:12] yes [06:12] selecting keyboard now [06:12] yes [06:13] name, computer name, username and password [06:13] Choose a picture [eye roll] [06:14] ;) [06:14] hehe [06:14] select accounts I would like to import... I select nothing [06:14] yep [06:14] now, user name and passwords i guess [06:14] Welcome - the slide show begins [06:14] hehehe [06:14] maybe you shouldnt click onthe slide show [06:14] leave it [06:15] maybe this is buggy [06:15] I didn't, it begins on its own [06:15] just let the installer do its work [06:15] after the last Continue button [06:15] yes [06:15] thats allright [06:15] the slide show is playing [06:15] now get a cup of coffe [06:15] and be patient, should normally take 2-5 minutes [06:16] Now I open a terminal and run df -h... [06:16] the free space on the target partition does not change [06:16] maybe you could move the mount any1-2 minutes to avoid pc going in some sleep mode [06:16] it is not filling up [06:16] just wait [06:16] I really don't think it is working. [06:16] maybe the partition and the linux files are copied in the last step ( i dont know that, but maybe) [06:17] mmm [06:17] I've been through this, waited 15 minutes... [06:17] the slide show gets to the last slide and nothing happens [06:18] no harddisc activity led lighting ? [06:18] nope [06:18] mmm [06:18] k [06:19] Okay, I give up. I am going to try that Make Startup Disk thingy. [06:19] i dont think thats the problem [06:20] you could try to install directly [06:20] without going into the live ubuntu session [06:20] and it seems [06:20] there are some bugs concerning hibernating and ubuntu 11.10 [06:21] that's how I tried and it failec the first time around [06:21] the second time I tried from a live session [06:21] mmm [06:21] you can choose install options [06:21] liken acpi off [06:22] this could be worth a try i think [06:22] sorry, i dont know what is wrong [06:22] I see [06:22] yep [06:23] the only times linux acts strange is when there is no free harddisc space left [06:23] then i saw linux freeze [06:23] if you do have enought harddisc space ( as you told me) it shouldnt be the problem [06:24] the usb stick is mounted read-only [06:24] I can't change it [06:25] mmm [06:25] that should be allright too [06:26] please try again to install from start ( without going into live session) and with the option apic off (opetions F6 ) [06:27] i have to leave now [06:27] good luck! [06:28] thank you === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [08:30] dunno why but my display brightness allways goes to 80% after reboot. How can I set it to permanently 100%? [08:55] hey how do i get a default .xsession [08:55] it doesn't seem to be an option in the startup list [09:46] good morning ;) [09:52] hello [10:10] teamahma: is there a way to get gimp in lubuntu 11.10? because via synaptic it isnt possible [10:13] how do i make a custom desktop entry? I tried Exec=~/.xsession but that just gives me an error [10:14] on image http://postimage.org/image/2rnakf5d0/ nm-applet, volti, strange space, caffeine, kvirc. they all in tray. that is the space can be? [10:47] NRWlion: open terminal and write "sudo apt-get install gimp" [10:48] teamahma: thx will try tonight [10:54] teamahma, I grew up near one gas station was in that tv show ;) [10:57] bioterror: hey there... long time no see ^^ [10:57] hi nrw ;) [10:58] I hope you still have that new job of yours ;) [10:58] bioterror: hm. right now i still have it [10:58] but dont know how long [11:08] bioterror: what is the latest news on your end ;) ? [11:09] nothing much actually, I'm just a candle that's burn from both ends ;) [11:09] my work is so stressful that I started jogging twice a week and I go once a week to swimming [11:10] funny thing how exercising releaves stress [11:18] bioterror: especially when you go ping ponging :D [11:19] dunno why but my display brightness allways goes to 80% after reboot. How can I set it to permanently 100%? [11:24] from power manager? [11:24] if you're talking about a laptop, teamahma [11:25] but when I set it to 100% it is in 80% again [11:33] Hi, i just installed Lubuntu. But after reboot it didn't start. I was only able to get into it after I did " sudo lxdm" [11:33] anyone know howto fix that? [11:35] oh well [11:35] you should reboot, copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log to a safe place [11:35] and then run again "sudo service lxdm restart" [11:35] and examine that log ;) [11:35] which you copied to safe place [11:36] or you can just copy it without reboot [11:37] :-) [11:37] either way, we need to know what's the reason [11:39] bioterror, I already examined that log, but couldn't really find something obvious wrong [11:39] no warnings or anything? [11:40] telling that "this driver failed, moving to vesa" or something like that [11:40] i'll have another look [11:41] btw, i manually installed nvidia-current, because first it said that it couldn't find nvidia. could that be the reason> [11:41] hmmm [11:42] just a moment [11:42] I'll WoL my htpc :D [11:42] no I'm not going to do it [11:43] does it require a xorg.conf? [11:45] not sure, i think i already rewote that using nvidia-settings program. Maybe i better first check if that fixed the problem, so i'm going to reboot [11:45] rebooting now [11:53] bioterror, still doesn't work. It also says Start Light display manager --> FAIL when i boot [11:55] okay [11:55] now I get this [11:55] you have "apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" from vanilla ubuntu? [11:55] yes [11:55] okay [11:56] qwertymn, sudo dpkg-reconfigure lxdm [11:57] bioterror, ok, did that , now reboot? [11:57] you can try [11:57] if that doesnt work [11:58] then we have to do few commands more ;) [11:58] k, trying reboot now [12:02] did it work? [12:02] bioterror, many thanks, that did the trick. However next problem: my panel is gone [12:02] where did that go? [12:02] no idea [12:02] qwertymn, if you're not using gnome stuff [12:02] remove lightdm ;) [12:02] sudo apt-get purge lightdm [12:03] and then reinstall? [12:03] no [12:03] you dont need lightdm [12:03] as you're doing things with working LXDM [12:04] isn't lightdm better? (read that somewhere i though) [12:04] I read from lubuntu mailing list that no ;) [12:04] and how it can be better if it doesnt work [12:04] * bioterror wonders [12:05] k, did remove , now reboot again? [12:05] no [12:05] just enjoy your lubuntu :D [12:06] next we should think about that lxpanel [12:06] do you get launcher if you press "alt+f2"? [12:07] no, something flashes on the screen, but dunno what [12:14] oh and now he's gone :( [12:15] bioterror you seem to be a little scary [12:16] qwertymn, got panel back? :) [12:16] nope [12:17] how new lubuntu configuration you have? [12:17] i can get it back by manually "killall -9 lmpanel" and then "lmpanel" again [12:17] cu laters [12:18] laters NRWlion [12:18] bioterror: you can count on that ;) need to saty awake all night :( [12:19] bioterror, in what directory/file are the settings for lmpanel stored? [12:19] qwertymn, ~/.config/ === l33_ is now known as l33o [12:23] hi [12:23] bioterror, finally fixed. I moved a file called "top" away from ~/.config [12:24] bioterror, many thanks for the help! A last question: you also know how to get rid of very ugly fonts in lxterminal? [12:24] qwertymn, yeah, I'm using rxvt-unicode ;) [12:26] bioterror, ok thanks, gonna try that. Again, thanks for help. See you [12:26] hey [12:26] urxvt requires. Xdefaults [12:26] .Xdefaults [12:26] or .Xresources file [12:26] it reads that file for configs [12:27] qwertymn, http://ricecows.org/configs/X11/.Xdefaults grab mine with wget [12:27] so what should i do to get the fonts used by lxterminal? [12:28] rename chromium to chromium-browser to make links open from terminal correctly [12:28] can also copy/paste i guess? [12:28] or you can say in terminal: wget http://ricecows.org/configs/X11/.Xdefaults [12:29] then: sudo apt-get install rxvt-unicode [12:29] and you launch it with command urxvt [12:30] ofcourse there's a urxvtd and urxvtc, if you use that daemon and then you launch those clients, you will get rather fast spawning terminal ;) [12:31] not that plain urxvt isnt fast [12:31] but where's my work motivation?! [12:32] bioterror, , done. Now i think i've got everyting in place, and can enjoy lubuntu. Great help, thans again [12:32] np [12:33] hey [12:33] as you're a converted to lubuntu, remember to: [12:33] ahh [14:58] In lxterminal the scroll wheel on my mouse does not scroll the text when viewing a file with 'less' (or when viewing a man page). Any way to enable that functionality? [17:36] how do i make a custom desktop entry? I tried Exec=~/.xsession but that just gives me an error [17:38] you mean you want another session, e.g. for another window manager? [17:38] yeah [17:38] like a different dropdown option that executes ~/.xsessions [17:39] the entries are in /etc/xdg/lxsession [17:39] just copy the Lubuntu one and edit it and that will make it really easy [17:41] I'm not sure that's what i want... how do I make it start the ~/.xsession script [17:43] my memory of it is that the real script is .xinitrc [17:43] and .xsession just points to it [17:43] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession [17:44] however [17:44] those entries in the drop down are different window manager options, more or less [17:44] just like what .xinitrc offers [17:44] so they do the same thing with less hassle [17:44] so i'd just start there [17:45] remember we're using a different display manager [17:46] I know, i've enabled the xsession script from gdm many times [17:46] it's very easy [17:47] there is a desktop session option when you log in called "User defined session" [17:47] and all it does is load the ~/.xsession script [17:47] try /etc/lxdm/Xsession [17:47] or hunt around in there [18:37] Hi, how can i add a custom application to the panelbar (so i can launch it from the panel?) [18:37] qwertymn: you mean like the stock pcmanfm and chromium entries? [18:38] no, i mean like for example add xchat launcher to the panel [18:38] not totally familiar with xchat. i assume you mean you want an icon to click on and load xchat? [18:39] wxl, yes, exactly [18:39] ok this is easy [18:39] right click pcmanfm or chromium (or one of those icons), click on application launch bar settings [18:39] the dialog will pull up a list of all the apps you have installed in the menu [18:39] xchat should be under internet i'm assuming [18:40] navigate there, click on it, click add, click ok [18:40] youre' done [18:41] well , that works indeed, but what i meant is also for example a command like "xkill", can i add that also to the panel? [18:41] you need to add a desktop entry [18:41] and then go through the above [18:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#I_don.27t_know_how_to_make.2BAC8-add_a_application_to_.22start.22_menu. [18:42] nope :/ /wc [18:43] wxl, ok , thanks very much [18:49] wxl: hi, I got feedback from the dev regarding your sharing of a disk. [18:49] phillw: i shared a disk? :D [18:49] were you the one having problems with samba? [18:50] oh that sharing [18:50] yep [18:50] I'll pastebin up his reply, give me a few minutes to dig it out. [18:50] heh k [18:54] wxl: http://pastebin.com/s7M5sCgf [18:55] but that's talking about pcmanfm [18:55] i was talking about the command lnie [18:55] line [18:56] pcmanfm handled it fine [18:56] (although i couldn't browse to the share via network shares or whatever it is) [18:57] so i'm still thinking bug, but more in the lubuntu-core than in pcmanfm phillw [18:57] (bug assuming that we want to support samba shares right out of the box) [18:58] you would need to chat to both Julien & PCMan to ascertain where the gremlin is. [18:58] wxl: is it okay to PM? [19:02] hmmm, tried to add xkill to the panel, but it doesn't launch when i click the button [19:03]
