| lunasspecto | Hello all. I've done a lot of tinkering, and have extensively perused documentation and forums, but I still can't seem to use my laptop's internal microphone in Lubuntu. (My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1526.) Any ideas? | 01:33 |
|---|---|---|
| phillw | lunasspecto: If you pop onto the main forum area, they have both a dell area and a laptop area - Have a read through their FAQ's | 01:37 |
| lunasspecto | Thanks, I'll give it a shot. | 01:38 |

| wxl | hahahah | 05:15 |
| wxl | i got a thinkpad so i'm finally running lubuntu in a more supported state | 05:15 |
| wxl | oh sigh | 05:16 |
| phillw | I had a thinkpad running knoppix so many years ago.... the thinkpads should be okay with linux? | 05:18 |

| xiaoy | How to add a new file model in lubuntu? (ex: New Doc Documents.doc) | 11:29 |
| bioterror | what? | 11:29 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, when i right click on the file-manager window, and i select create -> new, i just get folder and new file; i wont to add a doc document model file | 11:32 |
| xiaoy | like with the models folder in gnome-ubuntu | 11:32 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, also another question: how to add the trash can icon to lubuntu desktop? | 11:34 |
| bioterror | if I tell you how to add trash icon, do you promise not to whine about "it misses "empty trash" and icon doesnt show if it's full, empty or half full? | 11:35 |
| bioterror | I have to say I dont know about the first case | 11:36 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, XD. i promise | 11:37 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, don't worry about the first case, i'll find a solution :) | 11:40 |

| bioterror | there you go | 11:41 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, sorry again: how to setup default application in lubuntu? | 11:42 |
| xiaoy | ex: browser... | 11:42 |
| bioterror | you have in preferences that | 11:43 |
| bioterror | I dont have a lubuntu near me atm ;) | 11:43 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, ok | 11:43 |
| bioterror | there should be default applications or something | 11:44 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, hmm when i open the trash icon says: the file doesn't exist | 11:47 |
| xiaoy | also executing pcmanfm trash:/// gives the same error | 11:47 |
| bioterror | hmmmm | 11:48 |
| bioterror | could it be pcmanfm .local/share/Trash/ | 11:48 |
| bioterror | could it be pcmanfm ~/.local/share/Trash/ | 11:49 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, do you get expunged files and info folder in you trash too ? | 11:50 |
| bioterror | didnt it work? | 11:51 |
| bioterror | do I really have to dig one usb pendrive somewhere and boot it up? :) | 11:51 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, the folder you gave me actually exist but it's got the dirs i just listed you above | 11:52 |
| bioterror | sure | 11:52 |
| xiaoy | so it works? | 11:52 |
| bioterror | I dont think so | 11:52 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, the folder should be: $HOME/.local/share/Trash/files | 11:53 |
| xiaoy | now i get all the files i deleted | 11:53 |
| xiaoy | thanks | 11:54 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, maybe for me it's different becouse i installed lubuntu desktop in ubuntu | 11:56 |
| bioterror | does not matter | 11:57 |
| bioterror | it's jus thow pcmanfm handles it | 11:57 |
| xiaoy | bioterror, thank you. Time to go for me. Bye | 12:02 |

| aLeSD | hi all | 13:57 |
| aLeSD | is it possible to activate compiz in lubuntu ? | 13:57 |
| bioterror | sure | 13:57 |
| aLeSD | bioterror, hi ... how ? | 13:57 |
| bioterror | install it and autorun it | 13:57 |
| bioterror | or autostart | 13:57 |
| bioterror | but what are the benefits? | 13:57 |
| aLeSD | faster ? | 13:58 |
| aLeSD | bioterror, lubuntu is lighter than xubuntu ? | 14:02 |
| bioterror | should be | 14:03 |
| Myrtti | you can enable compositing without compiz, dunno how in lubuntu but atleast xubuntu does it | 14:08 |
| Myrtti | don't need compiz only for that reason | 14:08 |
| aLeSD | Myrtti, maybe I don't need 3d effects | 14:10 |
| Myrtti | most of the time I haven't a clue what actual benefit compiz makes, so... yeah. Why do you want compiz, aLeSD? | 14:10 |
| aLeSD | Myrtti, I really dunno | 14:10 |
| Myrtti | if you don't know what you need it for, why install it? | 14:10 |
| aLeSD | eyecandy | 14:11 |
| Myrtti | if you're aiming for lighter system, then everything that you slap on top makes it slower | 14:11 |
| aLeSD | no compiz | 14:11 |
| aLeSD | lubuntu is very fast | 14:11 |
| aLeSD | I moved from ubuntu ... on my atom | 14:12 |
| aLeSD | and it's amazing : it seems a new pc | 14:12 |
| aLeSD | which is the audio sound system of lubuntu ? | 14:13 |
| Gege71 | hello | 14:14 |
| Gege71 | i can't find any information on how to select sound hardware from volume control, anyone can help please | 14:15 |
| Souliaq | test | 16:31 |
| Souliaq | some guru of "xdg(...)autostart" file? | 16:32 |
| arkanabar | I've upgraded to oneiric and the run command window never has focus, but starts under whatever does. any ideas? | 18:06 |
| brother- | arkanabar: I see the same thing. not all the time but almost. Haven't pinned it closer yet though | 18:30 |
| arkanabar | If I were to guess, I'd suspect something in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml .... I probably ought to diff the version from natty with that from oneiric | 18:33 |
| arkanabar | I use a keybinding to launch pcmanfm, and it starts below the app with focus, instead of taking it. | 18:34 |
| arkanabar | but launching lxterminal with my keybinding, *that* gets focus. | 18:36 |
| arkanabar | same goes with mouspad. | 18:41 |
| arkanabar | well, let's see if we can figure out how focus is assigned in lxde. | 18:53 |
| brother- | arkanabar: focus is 100% openbox | 19:04 |
| brother- | or what ever WM you use but openbox is the most common | 19:04 |
| arkanabar | figured as much. then it ought to be in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml somewhere. | 19:17 |
| arkanabar | should probably compare it to default lxde-rc.xml as well as natty's lubuntu-rc.xml. | 19:20 |
| peter___ | hi | 21:06 |
| bioterror | howdy | 21:07 |
| peter___ | can anyone tell me what music player use lubuntu 11.04? | 21:07 |
| wxl | audacious or gnome-mplayer | 21:08 |
| bioterror | recommend a music player or tell what's included in a default install? | 21:08 |
| wxl | that's default | 21:08 |
| wxl | recommending one is a thorny topic | 21:08 |
| bioterror | wxl, no it is not, MOC ;) | 21:08 |
| peter___ | in the default install | 21:08 |
| wxl | bioterror: well there's that | 21:09 |
| peter___ | audacious? | 21:09 |
| peter___ | or what do you recommend? | 21:10 |
| wxl | oh jeez | 21:11 |
| wxl | too many options | 21:11 |
| wxl | what do you want? plain or fancy? | 21:11 |
| wxl | graphical or console? | 21:11 |
| bioterror | moc | 21:11 |
| bioterror | :) | 21:11 |
| wxl | library based or playlist based? | 21:11 |
| bioterror | libraries tends to suck | 21:12 |
| wxl | tend to | 21:12 |
| wxl | but some people like them | 21:12 |
| wxl | when you have a shit ton of music it's sometimes nice | 21:12 |
| peter___ | I want a music player graphical | 21:12 |
| wxl | also there's the question of what you want to play | 21:12 |
| bioterror | I dunno how much that's but I hate my phone with library :D | 21:12 |
| wxl | just mp3s? flacs? oggs? apes? wht? | 21:12 |
| wxl | see, bioterror -=- immediately moc is out | 21:13 |
| bioterror | wxl, why? | 21:13 |
| wxl | < peter___:#lubuntu> I want a music player graphical | 21:13 |
| bioterror | terminal is graphical :-) | 21:13 |
| wxl | well, it is ncurses | 21:14 |
| wxl | but still, i have a feeling he doesn't mean that | 21:14 |
| bioterror | some people likes deadbeef | 21:14 |
| peter___ | do you recommend audacious? | 21:14 |
| peter___ | or another one? | 21:14 |
| Unit193 | vlc -I ncurses :D or just normal if you must... | 21:14 |
| bioterror | peter___, we suggest you to try out as many as you can and decide yourself | 21:14 |
| wxl | ew vlc | 21:14 |
| wxl | i kind of like aqualung | 21:14 |
| bioterror | for me last.fm is important feature | 21:15 |
| wxl | see? you're opening up pandora's box here, peter___ | 21:15 |
| peter___ | I use VLC for videos | 21:15 |
| wxl | just go try a bunch | 21:15 |
| wxl | open up lubuntu software center and sort through there | 21:15 |
| bioterror | install mpd and a graphical client :D | 21:15 |
| peter___ | I understand jjaa | 21:15 |
| bioterror | and I got distracted from typing and essay | 21:16 |
| * bioterror goes back to lurk mode | 21:16 | |
| wxl | hey sweet | 21:16 |
| bioterror | an | 21:16 |
| wxl | http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Linux-and-Open-Source/10-Linux-Distros-Every-IT-Manager-Should-Know-574208/?kc=EWKNLINF11092011STR1 | 21:16 |
| wxl | lubuntu is one of 10 distros it managers should know | 21:16 |
| wxl | ubuntu is NOT to be found | 21:17 |
| bioterror | hahahaha, crunchbang | 21:17 |
| wxl | yeah well | 21:17 |
| wxl | at least they didn't throw down puppy | 21:17 |
| bioterror | I've seen CentOS run on servers | 21:17 |
| bioterror | I would not suggest Mint as they are not so openminded what comes to "do-release-upgrade" | 21:18 |
| peter___ | Ok, thanks guys and sorry for my english jeje I'm argentinian | 21:18 |
| peter___ | ;) | 21:18 |
| bioterror | at least what I used to use 7 to 9 if I remember right, it was more to "do a fresh installation" | 21:18 |
| wxl | no prob peter___ | 21:18 |
| bioterror | argentina produces good beef | 21:18 |
| wxl | i've never used mint | 21:18 |
| wxl | deadbeef? | 21:18 |
| peter___ | I cant write english very well | 21:18 |
| bioterror | so I would again suggest http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/ ;) | 21:19 |
| peter___ | yeah, we have the best beef of the world | 21:19 |
| wxl | i guess i've used mintppc which is some sort of bastard of mint and debian | 21:19 |
| peter___ | I guess jaja | 21:19 |
| wxl | but that doesn't count | 21:19 |
| lubuntu214 | I proudly present the best lightweight distro to Lubuntu team! | 23:15 |
| lubuntu214 | the selection of apps it installs by default are highly reliable fast and don't ever crash. I can't say the same for xubuntu unfortunately. | 23:16 |
| holstein | yeah?.. what crashes lubuntu214 ? | 23:16 |
| lubuntu214 | well some of the apps that xfce recommends on its site for lightweight alternatives crash and aren't lightweight like they say | 23:18 |
| holstein | lubuntu214: if you want, you can really help out by documenting that | 23:18 |
| lubuntu214 | sure | 23:19 |
| holstein | search for and follow up on bugs, or file new ones for us :) | 23:19 |
| lubuntu214 | well they maybe good working apps just that the ones in ubuntu's repo aren't packaged properly | 23:19 |
| holstein | potentially, thats why its helpful when you find something to say something about it | 23:19 |
| lubuntu214 | Lubuntu is fantastic no crashes on any apps or bugs I have come across so far! | 23:19 |
| holstein | anyways... i think lubuntu is nice and polished looking for how slim it is as well | 23:20 |
| lubuntu214 | yeah I agree | 23:20 |
| lubuntu214 | look A+, performance A+ | 23:20 |
| lubuntu214 | this time with this installation I am keeping track of all apps I remove and install from the time I installed the distro. | 23:21 |
| lubuntu214 | also using apps to remove all the junk I don't need and remove all the unneeded packages left over that aren't used by any other apps | 23:21 |
| lubuntu214 | bleachbit, gtkorphan and this script I use to remove old unused kernels | 23:22 |
| lubuntu214 | so by keeping that list of installed and uninstalled from clean install I keep my distro working smoothly and fast! | 23:23 |
| lubuntu214 | :) | 23:23 |
| lubuntu214 | maybe lubuntu should have an app that does this list automatically but its no big deal I just update the list manually each time I want to install or remove packages | 23:25 |
| brother- | something like deborphan? | 23:27 |
| brother- | "deborphan - program that can find unused packages, e.g. libraries" | 23:27 |
| lubuntu214 | I use gtkorphan frontend to deporphan | 23:27 |
| brother- | then I don't get your last line there | 23:28 |
| lubuntu214 | I stated this already scroll up ^^ | 23:28 |
| brother- | lubuntu already has it | 23:28 |
| lubuntu214 | I see but I like the GUI | 23:28 |
| lubuntu214 | I do use commandline apps though | 23:28 |
| lubuntu214 | but I don't like to have to learn new ones all the time | 23:28 |
| brother- | ok. you think it is needed and it is already there. even having some kind of gui | 23:29 |
| lubuntu214 | this is what I meant by my last line | 23:29 |
| brother- | I probably don't understand the whole picture | 23:29 |
| brother- | the main thing is that you don't know all the things that are in a default ubuntu apt repo? | 23:30 |
| brother- | I think you are far from alone on that one. count me in at least | 23:30 |
| lubuntu214 | an app that lists all installed or removed packages from clean install deboprhan seems to only list unused programs that didn't get removed with removed packages | 23:30 |
| lubuntu214 | its no bigie I just list this manually | 23:31 |
| lubuntu214 | when you remove packages* | 23:31 |
| brother- | apt does keep track of those things these days | 23:31 |
| brother- | there is a flag for automatic or not | 23:31 |
| lubuntu214 | for real? | 23:32 |
| brother- | if it is not set to auto it will not be removed when it is orphaned | 23:32 |
| lubuntu214 | like from clean install not listing apps installed by default install ones installed by user? | 23:32 |
| brother- | automatic install == package installed as a dependency or such | 23:32 |
| brother- | not auto == single package you forced in there | 23:32 |
| brother- | if foo depends on bar and you do something like apt-get install foo it will add bar and mark it auto. foo will not be marked auot. | 23:33 |
| brother- | when removing foo it will note that bar is still installed and remove that if no other package depend on it | 23:33 |
| lubuntu214 | well I think my idea will benefit lubuntu I'll write up a report on it later and example enough in detail to get my point and full understanding across | 23:33 |
| lubuntu214 | I have things to do right now | 23:34 |
| lubuntu214 | explain* | 23:34 |
| brother- | a "clean" install is a hard case too. I guess you mean lubuntu-desktop as base line | 23:34 |
| brother- | that's not how I set my things up =) | 23:34 |
| lubuntu214 | bleachbit can do clean autoclean and autoremove well I've heard that the auto's can break things so I'd only recommend that for advanced users. | 23:35 |
| lubuntu214 | bleachbit removes just about all the junk files you don't need the only thing I've notice it doesn't is unused kernels and orphan packages | 23:36 |
| lubuntu214 | okay have to go now | 23:36 |
| phillw | hi lubuntu214 and brother- have a quick read of http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=24 | 23:53 |
| lubuntu214 | sorry my bad it was autoremove that someone told me it can cause problems sometimes | 23:55 |
| lubuntu214 | I have no idea if it does or doesn't I haven't had a problem with it | 23:55 |
| lubuntu214 | phillw ^^ | 23:55 |
| phillw | lubuntu214: have a look through http://forum.phillw.net/viewforum.php?f=4 that does cover some of the advanced features of admin, but they really should not be required. | 23:57 |
| lubuntu214 | I think they told me that sometimes it can removed dependences of other apps that are still installed by where also a dependency for another app that was uninstalled | 23:57 |
