=== aw is now known as Guest9799 [01:33] 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? [01:37] 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 [01:38] Thanks, I'll give it a shot. [03:06] can i get wubi to install lubuntu? [05:03] howdy phill [05:13] hi wxl sorry, busy catching up on 2 weeks stuff! - ping me if you need me :) [05:13] naw just wanted to say hi [05:15] wxl: it went well, eventually... The old saying "never again" rings true... But, I never need to do it again :) [05:15] hahahah [05:15] i got a thinkpad so i'm finally running lubuntu in a more supported state [05:16] oh sigh [05:18] I had a thinkpad running knoppix so many years ago.... the thinkpads should be okay with linux? [05:19] * phillw oops wrong channel ... offtopic [05:20] lol [09:40] hi [11:09] any1 here using the rt preempt patched kernel [11:29] How to add a new file model in lubuntu? (ex: New Doc Documents.doc) [11:29] what? [11:32] 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] like with the models folder in gnome-ubuntu [11:34] bioterror, also another question: how to add the trash can icon to lubuntu desktop? [11:35] 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? [11:36] I have to say I dont know about the first case [11:37] bioterror, XD. i promise [11:40] bioterror, don't worry about the first case, i'll find a solution :) [11:41] xiaoy, http://forum.lxde.org/styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif [11:41] asdasdasd [11:41] http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?p=5680&sid=e91b1441eb6a06a22ecd99ee81528916#p5680 [11:41] there you go [11:42] bioterror, sorry again: how to setup default application in lubuntu? [11:42] ex: browser... [11:43] you have in preferences that [11:43] I dont have a lubuntu near me atm ;) [11:43] bioterror, ok [11:44] there should be default applications or something [11:47] bioterror, hmm when i open the trash icon says: the file doesn't exist [11:47] also executing pcmanfm trash:/// gives the same error [11:48] hmmmm [11:48] could it be pcmanfm .local/share/Trash/ [11:49] could it be pcmanfm ~/.local/share/Trash/ [11:50] bioterror, do you get expunged files and info folder in you trash too ? [11:51] didnt it work? [11:51] do I really have to dig one usb pendrive somewhere and boot it up? :) [11:52] bioterror, the folder you gave me actually exist but it's got the dirs i just listed you above [11:52] sure [11:52] so it works? [11:52] I dont think so [11:53] bioterror, the folder should be: $HOME/.local/share/Trash/files [11:53] now i get all the files i deleted [11:54] thanks [11:56] bioterror, maybe for me it's different becouse i installed lubuntu desktop in ubuntu [11:57] does not matter [11:57] it's jus thow pcmanfm handles it [12:02] bioterror, thank you. Time to go for me. Bye [12:12] cu [12:26] hello, I just installed lubuntu-desktop on my Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm totally new to it. I would like to know on how to configure keyboard shortcuts on Lubuntu? [12:27] from ~/.config/penbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [12:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#I_want_to_bind_a_key_to_lock_my_screen.2C_how_do_I_do_it.3F for example [12:28] bioterror: is that addressed to me? [12:29] usually to the one who asks [12:29] sorry, sometimes I enter channels and there's a conversation going on [12:29] thanks [13:07] who can tell me what package the battery app relies on / with what it confilcts? (xmessage: "low battery") === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as M0hi [13:57] hi all [13:57] is it possible to activate compiz in lubuntu ? [13:57] sure [13:57] bioterror, hi ... how ? [13:57] install it and autorun it [13:57] or autostart [13:57] but what are the benefits? [13:58] faster ? [14:02] bioterror, lubuntu is lighter than xubuntu ? [14:03] should be [14:08] you can enable compositing without compiz, dunno how in lubuntu but atleast xubuntu does it [14:08] don't need compiz only for that reason [14:10] Myrtti, maybe I don't need 3d effects [14:10] most of the time I haven't a clue what actual benefit compiz makes, so... yeah. Why do you want compiz, aLeSD? [14:10] Myrtti, I really dunno [14:10] if you don't know what you need it for, why install it? [14:11] eyecandy [14:11] if you're aiming for lighter system, then everything that you slap on top makes it slower [14:11] no compiz [14:11] lubuntu is very fast [14:12] I moved from ubuntu ... on my atom [14:12] and it's amazing : it seems a new pc [14:13] which is the audio sound system of lubuntu ? [14:14] hello [14:15] i can't find any information on how to select sound hardware from volume control, anyone can help please [16:31] test [16:32] some guru of "xdg(...)autostart" file? [18:06] I've upgraded to oneiric and the run command window never has focus, but starts under whatever does. any ideas? [18:30] arkanabar: I see the same thing. not all the time but almost. Haven't pinned it closer yet though [18:33] 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 [18:34] I use a keybinding to launch pcmanfm, and it starts below the app with focus, instead of taking it. [18:36] but launching lxterminal with my keybinding, *that* gets focus. [18:41] same goes with mouspad. [18:53] well, let's see if we can figure out how focus is assigned in lxde. [19:04] arkanabar: focus is 100% openbox [19:04] or what ever WM you use but openbox is the most common [19:17] figured as much. then it ought to be in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml somewhere. [19:20] should probably compare it to default lxde-rc.xml as well as natty's lubuntu-rc.xml. [21:06] hi [21:07] howdy [21:07] can anyone tell me what music player use lubuntu 11.04? [21:08] audacious or gnome-mplayer [21:08] recommend a music player or tell what's included in a default install? [21:08] that's default [21:08] recommending one is a thorny topic [21:08] wxl, no it is not, MOC ;) [21:08] in the default install [21:09] bioterror: well there's that [21:09] audacious? [21:10] or what do you recommend? [21:11] oh jeez [21:11] too many options [21:11] what do you want? plain or fancy? [21:11] graphical or console? [21:11] moc [21:11] :) [21:11] library based or playlist based? [21:12] libraries tends to suck [21:12] tend to [21:12] but some people like them [21:12] when you have a shit ton of music it's sometimes nice [21:12] I want a music player graphical [21:12] also there's the question of what you want to play [21:12] I dunno how much that's but I hate my phone with library :D [21:12] just mp3s? flacs? oggs? apes? wht? [21:13] see, bioterror -=- immediately moc is out [21:13] wxl, why? [21:13] < peter___:#lubuntu> I want a music player graphical [21:13] terminal is graphical :-) [21:14] well, it is ncurses [21:14] but still, i have a feeling he doesn't mean that [21:14] some people likes deadbeef [21:14] do you recommend audacious? [21:14] or another one? [21:14] vlc -I ncurses :D or just normal if you must... [21:14] peter___, we suggest you to try out as many as you can and decide yourself [21:14] ew vlc [21:14] i kind of like aqualung [21:15] for me last.fm is important feature [21:15] see? you're opening up pandora's box here, peter___ [21:15] I use VLC for videos [21:15] just go try a bunch [21:15] open up lubuntu software center and sort through there [21:15] install mpd and a graphical client :D [21:15] I understand jjaa [21:16] and I got distracted from typing and essay [21:16] * bioterror goes back to lurk mode [21:16] hey sweet [21:16] an [21:16] http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Linux-and-Open-Source/10-Linux-Distros-Every-IT-Manager-Should-Know-574208/?kc=EWKNLINF11092011STR1 [21:16] lubuntu is one of 10 distros it managers should know [21:17] ubuntu is NOT to be found [21:17] hahahaha, crunchbang [21:17] yeah well [21:17] at least they didn't throw down puppy [21:17] I've seen CentOS run on servers [21:18] I would not suggest Mint as they are not so openminded what comes to "do-release-upgrade" [21:18] Ok, thanks guys and sorry for my english jeje I'm argentinian [21:18] ;) [21:18] at least what I used to use 7 to 9 if I remember right, it was more to "do a fresh installation" [21:18] no prob peter___ [21:18] argentina produces good beef [21:18] i've never used mint [21:18] deadbeef? [21:18] I cant write english very well [21:19] so I would again suggest http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/ ;) [21:19] yeah, we have the best beef of the world [21:19] i guess i've used mintppc which is some sort of bastard of mint and debian [21:19] I guess jaja [21:19] but that doesn't count [23:15] I proudly present the best lightweight distro to Lubuntu team! [23:16] 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] yeah?.. what crashes lubuntu214 ? [23:18] well some of the apps that xfce recommends on its site for lightweight alternatives crash and aren't lightweight like they say [23:18] lubuntu214: if you want, you can really help out by documenting that [23:19] sure [23:19] search for and follow up on bugs, or file new ones for us :) [23:19] well they maybe good working apps just that the ones in ubuntu's repo aren't packaged properly [23:19] potentially, thats why its helpful when you find something to say something about it [23:19] Lubuntu is fantastic no crashes on any apps or bugs I have come across so far! [23:20] anyways... i think lubuntu is nice and polished looking for how slim it is as well [23:20] yeah I agree [23:20] look A+, performance A+ [23:21] 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] 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 [23:22] bleachbit, gtkorphan and this script I use to remove old unused kernels [23:23] so by keeping that list of installed and uninstalled from clean install I keep my distro working smoothly and fast! [23:23] :) [23:25] 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 [23:27] something like deborphan? [23:27] "deborphan - program that can find unused packages, e.g. libraries" [23:27] I use gtkorphan frontend to deporphan [23:28] then I don't get your last line there [23:28] I stated this already scroll up ^^ [23:28] lubuntu already has it [23:28] I see but I like the GUI [23:28] I do use commandline apps though [23:28] but I don't like to have to learn new ones all the time [23:29] ok. you think it is needed and it is already there. even having some kind of gui [23:29] this is what I meant by my last line [23:29] I probably don't understand the whole picture [23:30] the main thing is that you don't know all the things that are in a default ubuntu apt repo? [23:30] I think you are far from alone on that one. count me in at least [23:30] 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 [23:31] its no bigie I just list this manually [23:31] when you remove packages* [23:31] apt does keep track of those things these days [23:31] there is a flag for automatic or not [23:32] for real? [23:32] if it is not set to auto it will not be removed when it is orphaned [23:32] like from clean install not listing apps installed by default install ones installed by user? [23:32] automatic install == package installed as a dependency or such [23:32] not auto == single package you forced in there [23:33] 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] when removing foo it will note that bar is still installed and remove that if no other package depend on it [23:33] 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 [23:34] I have things to do right now [23:34] explain* [23:34] a "clean" install is a hard case too. I guess you mean lubuntu-desktop as base line [23:34] that's not how I set my things up =) [23:35] 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. [23:36] 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] okay have to go now [23:53] hi lubuntu214 and brother- have a quick read of http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=24 [23:55] sorry my bad it was autoremove that someone told me it can cause problems sometimes [23:55] I have no idea if it does or doesn't I haven't had a problem with it [23:55] phillw ^^ [23:57] 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] 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
