[00:23] good idea [00:23] i will do that, thankyou [00:24] Or just rename the current one and reboot [00:24] touche === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as WhoAmI === WhoAmI is now known as M0hi === m0hi is now known as IAmNotThatGuy [05:53] is there ubuntu software center in lubuntu?

[05:55] yes and no [05:55] for this release Lubuntu Software Centre wasnt ready, but it's going to be included in 12.04 [05:55] and you can install Ubuntu Software Centre if youw ant [05:55] *you want [05:56] you can install Lubuntu Software Centre from a PPA [05:57] http://news.softpedia.com/news/Introducing-Lubuntu-Software-Center-221531.shtml for example [05:58] oh.

[07:07] hi [07:08] omagical when i enter a chan [07:08] oops [08:31] hi i installed a fresh copy of lubuntu how can i get my tango term theme from gnome [08:32] on another system ages ago lubuntu-desktop was installed after gnome [08:32] and it inherited my color schemes from tango [08:33] perhaps it's some package i need to install [08:35] the most ive been able to find is this post http://blogs.n1zyy.com/andrew/2009/02/02/tango-color-scheme-for-xfce-terminal/ [08:46] john32: I would assume that's a normal GTK theme and could be placed in ~/.themes [08:46] mm perhaps where might i find it [08:47] currently dont have access to an ubuntu system [08:47] but i know in the past when i did install lxde on top of ubuntu [08:47] lxterminal inherited the tango theme [08:49] !info industrialtango-theme [08:49] WOuld that be it?

At the moment the package contains: [08:51] * the GTK configuration and [08:51] * Metacity configuration for the theme. [08:51] perhaps [08:51] that i don't think is it though [08:59] quit [09:00] Awww.... Just when I thought human-theme might be it :/ [09:02] nope still no tango theme in lxterminal hmmm how did i do it that last time === IAmNotThatGuy_ is now known as IAmNotThatGuy [09:09] Ah, I asked if human-theme was it, and you'd need to change it in lxappearance [09:10] ive installed guake that has it :P [09:10] but i really would like to be able to copy the schema or whatever to lxterm [09:11] Unit193: lxapperance doesn't let you chance lxterminal colors though [09:14] so i ran the update for 11.10 and it froze during the update, warned me that it will cause the OS to act silly if i canceled, but i had no choice [09:15] now i'm getting all sorts of errors, and the desktop/ graphical interface is looking weird now [09:16] chris@chris-Millennia-GS:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade [09:16] Reading package lists...

[11:34] hey guys - I searched for solution, but nobody could help me - maybe now [11:34] I use normal root account (su root) with changed root password, and after first login on root account after trying to reboot or halt system there is a prompt about password, which dissapear after few second [11:34] I use root account only in console [12:21] Hello. I'm thinking about changing to Lubuntu but i was wondering how it well it works with software like dropbox? [12:23] I also have an ATI graphics card. I know about the issues with ATI drivers in Gnome, How is it with drivers in Lubuntu? [12:24] kernels and drivers are all the same [12:24] lubuntu is just LXDE Components on top of the Openbox windowmanager [12:24] Dropbox works perfect in Lubuntu [12:24] Goliat: i use dropbox with Lubuntu, works fine [12:24] as Gnome is metacity or something + gnome stuff ;) [12:25] with dropbox you just need to make it autostart [12:25] and that's all? [12:25] bioterror: pretty much. [12:26] bioterror: So installing the fglrx will work fine? [12:26] if the drivers work in Ubuntu, they will work fine in Lubuntu [12:27] i use Dual Screens on my Nvidia card, just like I use Dual screens in Ubuntu.... Activate Nvidia driver, setup twinview. [12:27] KM0201: Nice, Did you use the ubuntu install for dropbox? [12:27] Goliat: of course [12:28] Goliat: what other package would i use? [12:28] Goliat: LXDE and Unity, are just window dressing, under the hood, it's the same OS. [12:28] You can use Ubuntu One instead of dropbox or with dropbox [12:29] Goliat: packaging is exactly the same as with ubuntu for .bin .deb etc [12:29] emce_PL: not really sure what that has to do w/ anything, but.. ok [12:29] KM0201: I don't know, But when i installed dropbox on fedora with xfce it was a bit awkward to get it working, Was worried it could be the same in Lubuntu [12:30] Ubuntu One is storage service dedicated for Ubuntu [12:30] Goliat: dunno about the fedora packaging (although it should have been just fine).. all i can tell you, is i installed it the exact same way on Lubuntu, as I did on Ubuntu... Download .deb, install deb. [12:30] emce_PL: so? [12:30] still has nothing to do w/ dropbox, which is the question at hand. [12:30] if You use DropBox, you can use UbuntuOne also [12:30] Goliat: only difference is as bioterror pointed out, once its installed, you'll have to set it to autostart. [12:31] emce_PL: i understand that... but. i don't understand why you're bringing up UbuntuOne.. it doesn't integrate any better/worse than Dropbox. [12:31] he asked about dropbox, not ubuntu one [12:31] KM0201: Ok, Do most of the software for Ubuntu work on Lubuntu because they are so close? [12:31] Goliat: they all do [12:32] again, LXDE(Lubuntu) is simply window dressing.. if you install the app, and any dependant libraries.... if it works on Ubuntu/Unity, or Kubuntu, or whatever, it will work on Lubuntu [12:33] Goliat: im not sure your understanding what everyone is saying....ubunut and (L)ubuntu are the same base OS (wiht a few tweaks) minus the Desktop environment. [12:33] there i can find running program with icons in tray. 10.04 system [12:34] JohnDoe_71Rus: if the program has a system try icon, just make sure system tray is in your panel, and you'll see the icons [12:35] i have space between icons. i want find what this [12:36] what happens if you click the space? [12:36] nothing [12:38] stlsaint: Yeah im not the best with linux distributions. I was unsure if its ok to say they are the same Os. But ive had the idea that the different desktop environments make's it well hard to run a program such as dropbox, [12:39] Goliat: *sometimes*.. but 99% of the time, apps integrate into any desktop environment pretty well... as for dropbox, trust me on that one, it'll work just fine [12:39] http://postimage.org/image/rkk1e3ew5/ [12:39] nm-applet, volti, space, caffeine... [12:40] KM0201: Okay. It sounds much better than fedora then :P [12:41] Goliat: Fedora is a fine release.. but Fedora is typically gonna be a bit better for an experienced linux user. also, apples to oranges, Fedora is RH based, Ubuntu is Debian based [12:42] JohnDoe_71Rus: i dunno, that does look weird.. http://imagebin.org/180683 [12:43] dunno == does not? [12:43] KM0201: Yeah that's definitely true, Xfce with fedora is a challange. Do you mean .rpm when you say RH? [12:43] JohnDoe_71Rus: yes [12:44] Goliat: yes [12:44] it start after caffeine install. but in ubuntu with caffeine icons fine [12:45] Goliat: just install Lubuntu, and come back here w/ any questions you have, i'll be around quite a while... other than the ATI driver (i never use ATI) I can probably help you w/ most stuff if you need it. [12:47] KM0201: Thank you for the help. It will probably go smooth since i used ubuntu some time ago. I'm sure it will go well with Lubuntu when i install it. :) [12:47] good luck [12:49] Thanks for all the help guys. Bye! [12:54] hmm this is odd im not getting any sound through firefox or what not i am from my other machine though via line in [12:54] and it was working before [12:55] and ive checked alsamixer [12:56] fivefivesix: i have a lot of problems w/ alsa... i usually install pulseaudio and pavucontrol -- make adjustments as necessary, and everythign works fine [12:56] pulseaudio is installed by default [12:56] no its not [12:56] i know it was working like an hour ago [12:56] sudo apt-get install pulseaudio [12:57] then install pavucontrol [12:57] yeah i just needed pavucontrol ill see what that can do [12:58] i can see the bar moving in output devices in pavucontrol [12:59] ahh so annoying [13:00] i bet it fucked up when i installed amarok [13:01] okay this has really stumped me [13:01] everything seems to be alright [13:01] hi [13:01] its like the sound is being directed to the wrong device [13:01] or something [13:02] okay that's very weird i went into Configuration [13:02] and changed the profile [13:03] from Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output [13:03] to something else [13:03] and then back again [13:22] (y) [13:22] oh [13:47] hi all ...

I don't think that way [15:14] BenPA, that path should be /etc/profile [15:14] unless you have a .bashrc or something of your own which add a path [15:16] bioterror ... there is a bashrc but what harm would there be to add /etc/profile .. I am willing to try anything at this point ... I've been trying to solve this issue for about 2 weeks now [15:17] check your /etc/profile [15:17] I have there: [15:17] if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then [15:17] PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" [15:17] else [15:17] PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games" [15:17] fi [15:17] (sorry for not pastebin ;) [15:17] shame on you ;-) [15:17] Dr. Sbaitso! ;) [15:19] bioterror ...

I searched launchpad for any previous issue on the subject of Lubuntu not doing a shutdown/reboot/logout from the menu buttons ... where might those be defined in there ... I can do init 0 or shutdown -h or -r now from the consold but menu buttons don't work ... it was suggested to reinstall because I was using 11.04 but I upgraded to 11.10 and the problem still remains [15:35] I think those are done with consolekit [15:37] I really cant understand why they wont work [15:37] I installed kde desktop on top of lubuntu and I had an issue of the kde plasma option not starting until I changed from lxde to kdm ... everything else works great and the speed is great but it just won't shutdown/reboot/logout [15:38] well . that is two of us [15:40] did it work before KDM? [15:45] on 11.04 no [15:46] I've never encountered that kind of problem [15:51] well, I am not the only one ... it has been going on for a while per the launchpad info I found [16:18] has anyone else found the icons for Desktop and the home Dir do not show in PCManFM [16:18] for me they're showing up as just normal folders [16:18] in the side menu not as like their special icon that they appear in go [16:18] they did in natty [16:21] how do i change the wallpaper to black solid colour on the desktop?

[16:32] it looks like the old style unix dialog box. i had the menu you are referring to for about 5 minutes and then it 'switched' to this one. i must have changed something on the settings [16:33] i did remove all extra desktops. i am only using 1 for now [16:33] ah interesting my icon issue went away :) [16:33] xdg-user-dirs-update must have fixed it [16:33] aha [16:34] he checked the box [16:34] which box? [16:34] in desktop preferences, second tab [16:34] show menus provided by window managers [16:34] now I checked it too, can't get it back :D [16:34] well i wont check it lol [16:34] otherwise i wont be able to get it back [16:34] actually you can probably open it from the commandline [16:34] to get it back [16:37] how? :D [16:37] http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/5724/201110251935491280x800s.png [16:37] this is the menu we see [16:38] in previous versions of lubuntu ( if I remember correctly ) after checking this box I was able to see both menus [16:38] Neosano: thats what i thought i was when i checked it [16:39] so.. any ideas how to get the goddamn menu back? [16:41] Neosano: i thought if there was an option to check the box...there would be an option to uncheck the box! [16:41] yeah, but to uncheck the box I need the menu :< [16:42] oh lemme reboot.. [16:42] Neosano: that wont help [16:42] I know.. but I clicked "exit" option [16:43] :D [16:45] soo.. [17:33] Neosano: any luck getting the desktop menu back? [17:33] no [17:33] :( [17:34] Neosano: oopss..sorry if i made you break your desktop...you were only trying to help [17:34] ha-ha :D no problem [17:34] bioterror, any way to solve our problem? [17:45] Neosano: as with ubuntu..there is always a cl solution..i just need to find it! [17:47] there's must be a config file somewhere -o- [17:49] starting compiz often brings the desktop back here :) [17:55] l33_: funny, initially i think that compiz is incompatible with the goals of lubuntu but upon further reflection it seems that on some systems lubuntu may be the key to making compiz possible! [17:59] hi wxl ;) [17:59] compiz running fine here [17:59] without any notable cpu load [18:00] unfortunately my issue is i don't think i could get the 3d working well with my stupid nvidia/powerpc setup [18:01] wxl: no powerpc nvidia driver? [18:02] well the nv driver ain't all that [18:02] nouveau works better [18:02] still not ideal [18:03] in other gripes i wish that the lubuntu mailing list had a home outside of launchpad because that public archive is darn slow to update [18:03] i sent two posts and didn't get replies and i'm thinking the issue may be how i sent them (via another address but with the identity i'm subscribed under) although i got no bounces or anything [18:05] wxl: weird, i use the Nvidia drier flawlessly [18:06] ppc tho KM0201 ? [18:06] no... sorry, i keep forgetting that. [18:06] lol [18:06] :) [18:06] i resized my partition last night and loaded debian on there [18:07] i'm going to see if an "officially supported" install doesn't work better [18:07] i am remiss to deviate from lubutnu because i appreciate it's ease of use but at least i still got lxde [18:08] and perhaps having the comparison will help work out some lubuntu ppc bugs [18:12] i'm convinced, for example, there are issues with processor usage [18:13] i had to get out icepacks just to keep the thing from shutting down when making a patched network-manager [18:13] runs way too hot [18:26] hi, i have a current ubuntu 10.10 installed on lvm, and i'd like to install lubuntu 11.10 side-by-side with that, [18:26] however i'm in the lubuntu installer and it doesn't seem to recognize the lvm stuff, i just shows a large unknown partition [18:28] is it possible to install lubuntu into an existing lvm volume group? [18:30] well that's poopy [18:31] * wxl has little experience with lvm [18:31] you're using the graphical installer? [18:32] yes [18:33] you MIGHT try the alternate installter [18:33] well, i kept reading about how lvm makes everything more awesome but it has caused me nothing by problems [18:33] hahahah [18:33] i hear unity's supposed to be awesome too [18:33] OH SNAP [18:33] ;) [18:33] oh my god unity [18:34] that's why i was still on ubuntu 10.10 [18:35] i'm currently resizing the ext4 partition that's within my lvm volume group, that's almost done. when it finishes i will reboot and try the alternate installer [18:35] hehehe [18:35] yeah i can't make promises but you might get lucky [18:37] * wxl now realizes what LVM is [18:38] * wxl is still skeptical of software RAID [18:38] hmm it seems like after i manually activated the lvm group on command line, and refreshed that screen in the graphical installer it does see something, but i'll have to wait until the parition resize is complete before i'll know if i can do anything [18:38] software raid and lvm don't have very much to do with each other, but i have to say that the mdadm software raid package is most excellent [18:38] seems somewhat similar but i guess i'm clueless :D [18:39] you can use mdadm and do all kinds of software raid without touching lvm, and i have for the last several years [18:40] the performance is great, it's very stable, the maintainer is active on the mailing lists [18:41] hands down better than motherboard raid, but if real hardware raid is available then that's usually much better than mdadm [18:41] i need to get over my skepticism [18:42] i was in the process of simultaneously adding disks to a raid array and changing levels from 5 to 6, had a power outage, and when i rebooted it just happily resumed...nothing was lost [18:44] phew [18:44] i was in the process of backing up a bunch of data when my drives failed on me [18:44] sadly dd offered no help :'( [18:45] i hate to be that guy that has to top your story, but later on i had some problems with that same raid array... [18:45] oh? [18:45] i shut down the server to upgrade the nic, and when i booted it back up, four out of six drives were missing. [18:45] it turns out that they just completely died [18:45] DOH [18:46] four simultaneous hard drive failures...probably the most unlikely thing that's ever happened in my life [18:46] they were from three different batches too...the first thing everyone thinks is that i bought them all at once [18:46] heh [18:47] i've learned to hate certain manufacturers.. [18:47] obviously it had to be some problem with the system, but i never found what it was, everything seemed fine but i never reused any of that hardware anyway [18:47] they werent seagate drives if that's who you're thinking [18:47] western digitals [18:47] EXACTLY :) [18:47] i got burned on the seagate 1tb drives when those first came out [18:52] anyone know how to modify config file for pcmanfm [18:52] usertwo: it depends what you want to configure ? [18:52] not much to modify.. what do you want to do usertwo ? [18:54] i inadvertently checked the option 'let window manager control options'...and now when i right click on desktop i get terminal emulator, web browser....notthe usual 'create new folder'. i want to get the original menu back [18:54] i have tried modifying the config file but it keeps 'resetting' to the same options [18:55]
