[17:42] <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
[17:43] <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
[17:47] <xsaidx> haemogoblin: go read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 but do a back b4 any modifyni
[17:51] <haemogoblin> thanks

[18:11] <haemogoblin> cheers
[18:16] <pfifo> How do I lock the screen?
[18:17] <pfifo> im on lubuntu 10.04
[18:17] <pfifo> livecd
[18:18] <KM0201> um...
[18:18] <KM0201> ctrl alt L?
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <pfifo> Unit193, ok that works
[18:20] <Unit193> Yeah, you should be able to   sudo passwd $USER and then enter it
[18:21] <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"
[18:22] <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
[18:23] <Unit193> !persistant
[18:23] <KM0201> obviously you didn't get my satire
[18:24] <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?
[18:30] <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
[18:32] <pfifo> KM0201, right im working on the latter, a way to remind myself to set a password
[18:38] <haemogoblin> It worked!!!
[18:38] <haemogoblin> :D
[18:38] <haemogoblin> Woohoo
[18:38] <haemogoblin> Got the log in screen working perfectly!! :D
[18:39] <haemogoblin> Cheers mate!
[18:39] <KM0201> haemogoblin: what were you trying to do?
[18:40] <pfifo> looks like hes trying to celebrate
[18:40] <haemogoblin> I am indeed
[18:41] <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 ?
[18:42] <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
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <jita> btw does lubuntu have pdf viewer ?
[18:44] <pfifo> i installed evince for that
[18:45] <jita> and the office apps included performs equally good as libre office
[18:45] <jita> ?
[18:46] <pfifo> i use google documents for my office needs
[18:46] <pfifo> you can of course install liber if you want it
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <haemogoblin> I've only seen unity briefly
[18:48] <haemogoblin> i dont know if i like it or not
[18:49] <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 :-)
[18:51] <pfifo> i need to test my livecd
[18:54] <pfifo> well it booted
[18:55] <pfifo> the kernel upgrade was held back, im debating on upgrading to 3
[18:57] <jita> pfifo, which one you got currently ?
[18:57] <pfifo> 2.6.32-33-generic
[18:58] <jita> pfifo, on lubuntu 11.04 ?
[18:58] <pfifo> 10.04
[18:58] <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
[18:59] <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?
[19:00] <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.
[19:01] <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
[19:03] <jita> hmm, how do i add home folder to desktop ?
[19:05] <haemogoblin> when you same home
[19:05] <haemogoblin> do you mean like a shortcut to your download, picture dir?
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <haemogoblin> yes
[19:07] <pfifo> how di you do it?
[19:07] <pfifo> lol, thats the only icon i CANT remove from my desktop
[19:08] <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
[19:09] <jita> pfifo, right click on filemanager in start menu and add to dekstop
[19:10] <pfifo> nope no good
[19:12] <haemogoblin> do add and icon i went via the menu
[19:12] <haemogoblin> selected what i wanted, right click and "add to desktop"
[19:13] <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!
[19:14] <haemogoblin> brb
[19:27] <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*
[19:30] <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.
[19:35] <pfifo> phillw, im sorry i dont follow, what is that guide going to help me do?
[19:44] <phillw> pfifo: soz, it was haemoglobin who was asking, if he returns and I'm not about please suggest it to him.
[19:45] <pfifo> ok
[19:45] <pfifo> i think he got it anyway
[19:46] <phillw> I did trial something for one of the guys, but I think that lxshortcut has been developed since those early trials.
