| haemogoblin | once i log in, the res changes to what i have it set to | 17:42 |
| Cortex_ | anyone? | 17:42 |
| xsaidx | haemogoblin: i guess you can set that in ur Xorg file but make a back up of it first | 17:42 |
| haemogoblin | would you mind talking me through it, i'm still a little new to playing with xorg | 17:43 |
| haemogoblin | last time i tried finding it, i didn't have much luck | 17:43 |
| xsaidx | haemogoblin: go read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 but do a back b4 any modifyni | 17:47 |
| haemogoblin | thanks | 17:51 |
| haemogoblin | cp: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory | 17:51 |
| haemogoblin | i dont think i have an xorg | 17:51 |
| haemogoblin | Nope i just tried sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:53 |

| xsaidx | in a terminel | 18:04 |
| haemogoblin | yes | 18:04 |
| haemogoblin | done | 18:04 |
| haemogoblin | that brings up the monitor settings | 18:05 |
| haemogoblin | but thats only effecting the desktop | 18:05 |
| haemogoblin | and not the login screen | 18:05 |
| xsaidx | haemogoblin: i see hang on | 18:05 |
| haemogoblin | cheers | 18:05 |
| haemogoblin | At this rate i can seem ubuntu going on, which i didn't really want to be doing :/ | 18:06 |

| haemogoblin | ok brb | 18:11 |
| haemogoblin | cross some fingers :D | 18:11 |
| haemogoblin | cheers | 18:11 |
| pfifo | How do I lock the screen? | 18:16 |
| pfifo | im on lubuntu 10.04 | 18:17 |
| pfifo | livecd | 18:17 |
| KM0201 | um... | 18:18 |
| KM0201 | ctrl alt L? | 18:18 |
| KM0201 | hmm, maybe not | 18:19 |
| Unit193 | xscreensaver-command -lock is the normal command | 18:19 |
| pfifo | I think the problem is the LiveCD part, cause if you dont set a password first you have to reboot/restart X | 18:19 |
| KM0201 | pfifo: possible | 18:19 |
| pfifo | Unit193, ok that works | 18:20 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, you should be able to sudo passwd $USER and then enter it | 18:20 |
| pfifo | Is there a gui version of passwd i can get to popup at the begining of the live session to remind me to set a password? | 18:21 |
| KM0201 | yeah, it's called "install" | 18:21 |
| haemogoblin | back | 18:22 |
| haemogoblin | tried following that guide | 18:22 |
| haemogoblin | apparently i dont have the "x" command | 18:22 |
| haemogoblin | :-S | 18:22 |
| haemogoblin | tried x -configure | 18:22 |
| pfifo | install is used to place files on the filesystem after compiling | 18:22 |
| Unit193 | !persistant | 18:23 |
| KM0201 | obviously you didn't get my satire | 18:23 |
| ubot5 | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 18:23 |
| pfifo | Right, but im making a LiveCD right now | 18:24 |
| haemogoblin | Is it possibly to alter the screen res of the sign in screen on Lubuntu? | 18:24 |
| KM0201 | pfifo: you might be able to do this on the live cd.. but.. you'll need to make sure you set a password | 18:30 |
| KM0201 | 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 | 18:30 |
| pfifo | KM0201, right im working on the latter, a way to remind myself to set a password | 18:32 |
| haemogoblin | It worked!!! | 18:38 |
| haemogoblin | :D | 18:38 |
| haemogoblin | Woohoo | 18:38 |
| haemogoblin | Got the log in screen working perfectly!! :D | 18:38 |
| haemogoblin | Cheers mate! | 18:39 |
| KM0201 | haemogoblin: what were you trying to do? | 18:39 |
| pfifo | looks like hes trying to celebrate | 18:40 |
| haemogoblin | I am indeed | 18:40 |
| haemogoblin | I was having a ball ache with the Login screen in Lubuntu | 18:41 |
| haemogoblin | every time i booted the machine, the login window would display in 640x480 | 18:41 |
| jita | Does anybody use lubuntu as their main OS ? | 18:41 |
| haemogoblin | So everything was huge | 18:41 |
| pfifo | jita, i do | 18:41 |
| haemogoblin | I wanted it to be the same as my desktop res | 18:41 |
| haemogoblin | 1125x864 | 18:41 |
| jita | pfifo, any issues ? | 18:41 |
| haemogoblin | jita: Lubuntu is fun, but not at easy as Ubuntu i've found | 18:42 |
| pfifo | jita, no not really | 18:42 |
| haemogoblin | Maybe it's because i'm using an industrial mini itx board | 18:42 |
| pfifo | jita, the default image viewer is crap, i had to install eye of gnome | 18:43 |
| haemogoblin | but configuring the beast has been a fight from word go | 18:43 |
| jita | I am facing a single issue that 'run dialog' opens up in background | 18:43 |
| haemogoblin | but probably no more involved then using a laptop with obscure HW | 18:43 |
| jita | so if i run alt+F2 and i am running some applciatons, the run dialog opens up in the background | 18:43 |
| jita | btw does lubuntu have pdf viewer ? | 18:44 |
| pfifo | i installed evince for that | 18:44 |
| jita | and the office apps included performs equally good as libre office | 18:45 |
| jita | ? | 18:45 |
| pfifo | i use google documents for my office needs | 18:46 |
| pfifo | you can of course install liber if you want it | 18:46 |
| haemogoblin | I use a lot of terminal apps on mine and open office for writing | 18:47 |
| jita | btw it looks better than ubuntu unity :P | 18:47 |
| haemogoblin | I've only seen unity briefly | 18:48 |
| haemogoblin | i dont know if i like it or not | 18:48 |
| haemogoblin | :-/ | 18:49 |
| pfifo | unity seems to be a touchscreen interface imo | 18:49 |
| haemogoblin | I wonder how it would run on a Centrino 800 | 18:49 |
| haemogoblin | i have a tablet PC that could use an OS :-) | 18:49 |
| pfifo | i need to test my livecd | 18:51 |
| pfifo | well it booted | 18:54 |
| pfifo | the kernel upgrade was held back, im debating on upgrading to 3 | 18:55 |
| jita | pfifo, which one you got currently ? | 18:57 |
| pfifo | 2.6.32-33-generic | 18:57 |
| jita | pfifo, on lubuntu 11.04 ? | 18:58 |
| pfifo | 10.04 | 18:58 |
| === ubuntu is now known as clmntfrndz | ||
| jita | pfifo, why not 11.04? | 18:58 |
| jita | it uses 2.6 too afaik | 18:58 |
| pfifo | This is a livecd, i want the LTS | 18:58 |
| haemogoblin | hey guys | 18:59 |
| haemogoblin | is it possible to turn a terminal commands like java -jar minecraft.jar | 18:59 |
| haemogoblin | in to an icon? | 18:59 |
| haemogoblin | so i dont have to type it all the time? | 19:00 |
| jita | pfifo, why LTS? dont like upgrading ? | 19:00 |
| pfifo | jita, upgrading a livecd is somewhat involved | 19:00 |
| phillw | pfifo: there are no LTS's of lubuntu. | 19:00 |
| pfifo | phillw, ok to be fair, i started with a 'debootstrap' of lucid and then installed lubuntu-desktop | 19:01 |
| haemogoblin | it's ok, i think i worked it out | 19:01 |
| haemogoblin | :D | 19:01 |
| jita | hmm, how do i add home folder to desktop ? | 19:03 |
| haemogoblin | when you same home | 19:05 |
| haemogoblin | do you mean like a shortcut to your download, picture dir? | 19:05 |
| jita | haemogoblin, yes shortcut to my home directory ~ | 19:06 |
| haemogoblin | Well i had this issue a while back | 19:06 |
| haemogoblin | and one of the guys on here helped me | 19:06 |
| haemogoblin | i can't recall their name | 19:06 |
| jita | nvm got it | 19:06 |
| jita | added filemanager to desktop | 19:06 |
| haemogoblin | yes | 19:07 |
| pfifo | how di you do it? | 19:07 |
| pfifo | lol, thats the only icon i CANT remove from my desktop | 19:07 |
| jita | pfifo, it wasnt there on newly installed lubuntu 11.10 | 19:08 |
| KM0201 | haemogoblin: yes, it should be easy | 19:08 |
| pfifo | what did you do to get it to appear? maybe i can do the reverse | 19:08 |
| jita | pfifo, right click on filemanager in start menu and add to dekstop | 19:09 |
| pfifo | nope no good | 19:10 |
| haemogoblin | do add and icon i went via the menu | 19:12 |
| haemogoblin | selected what i wanted, right click and "add to desktop" | 19:12 |
| haemogoblin | I think km0201 was the one who showed me how to edit the shortcuts so they could do other things. Such as become network shortcuts | 19:13 |
| haemogoblin | :) | 19:13 |
| haemogoblin | I really have to add that to my blog! | 19:13 |
| haemogoblin | brb | 19:14 |
| phillw | pfifo: you could try creating a shell script, then using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_can_I_create_a_shortcut_on_the_Desktop to pint to it? | 19:27 |
| phillw | *point* | 19:27 |
| phillw | pfifo: provided you have set up the x flags on your permissions it may well work? please let me know how you get on. | 19:30 |
| pfifo | phillw, im sorry i dont follow, what is that guide going to help me do? | 19:35 |
| phillw | pfifo: soz, it was haemoglobin who was asking, if he returns and I'm not about please suggest it to him. | 19:44 |
| pfifo | ok | 19:45 |
| pfifo | i think he got it anyway | 19:45 |
| phillw | I did trial something for one of the guys, but I think that lxshortcut has been developed since those early trials. | 19:46 |
