I installed 9menu, but still have not got any box. [00:52] There is no box, there is only this search icon, but is not good [04:59] I killed my xfce lubuntu-desktop process, how do i start it again? [08:52] I was wondering if anyone knew how to manage the keyring? [08:53] should I install seahorse to manage gnome-keyring? [08:53] ultimately, I'm trying to delete some old ubuntuone tokens [09:24] need help in minimal install [09:26] my internet connection requires username and password for connection.

If it's normal nm-applet, just run "nm-applet --replace" [13:37] hi [13:37] hi leszek [13:37] stay strong on the mailing list ;) [14:54] re [15:14] How can I change the resolution of the logon screen via the terminal please? [15:15] Hi,a banal question: lubuntu has the same drivers than ubuntu ? [15:16] Hot: the same kernel... yes [15:16] thanks holstein [15:17] the same repository access [15:17] thanks again holstein [15:18] elz89: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1544285 [15:19] holstein: thanks, needed a decent pointer ;-) === robotman is now known as AlexAv [16:07] evening [16:07] :) === MichealH is now known as MH0 [17:36] any one around? [17:36] :) [17:36] I've having issues with my login window [17:39] i'm having trouble with cairo-dock showing properly on lxde [17:40] anyone know a fix for that? the background for the dock is a big black bar, obscuring everything [17:40] haemogoblin: whats the issue you havin ? [17:41] is a resolution issue [17:41] it's displaying in 640x480 [17:41] at least i think, it could be 800x600 [17:42] once i log in, the res changes to what i have it set to [17:42] anyone? [17:42] haemogoblin: i guess you can set that in ur Xorg file but make a back up of it first [17:43] would you mind talking me through it, i'm still a little new to playing with xorg [17:43] last time i tried finding it, i didn't have much luck [17:47] haemogoblin: go read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 but do a back b4 any modifyni [17:51] thanks [17:51] cp: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory [17:51] i dont think i have an xorg [17:53] Nope i just tried sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:53] and nothing [17:57] any help with cairo-dock not showing up properly? [18:03] back im sorry then icant help maybe you can try that thingy under preference menu [18:04] back [18:04] Hmm editing the autostart didn't help [18:04] haemogoblin: type in lxrandr [18:04] in a terminel [18:04] yes [18:04] done [18:05] that brings up the monitor settings [18:05] but thats only effecting the desktop [18:05] and not the login screen [18:05] haemogoblin: i see hang on [18:05] cheers [18:06] At this rate i can seem ubuntu going on, which i didn't really want to be doing :/ [18:07] haemogoblin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1544285 [18:11] ok brb [18:11] cross some fingers :D [18:11] cheers [18:16] How do I lock the screen? [18:17] im on lubuntu 10.04 [18:17] livecd [18:18] um... [18:18] ctrl alt L? [18:19] hmm, maybe not [18:19] xscreensaver-command -lock is the normal command [18:19] I think the problem is the LiveCD part, cause if you dont set a password first you have to reboot/restart X [18:19] pfifo: possible [18:20] Unit193, ok that works [18:20] Yeah, you should be able to sudo passwd $USER and then enter it [18:21] 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] yeah, it's called "install" [18:22] back [18:22] tried following that guide [18:22] apparently i dont have the "x" command [18:22] :-S [18:22] tried x -configure [18:22] install is used to place files on the filesystem after compiling [18:23] !persistant [18:23] obviously you didn't get my satire [18:23] 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 [18:24] Right, but im making a LiveCD right now [18:24] Is it possibly to alter the screen res of the sign in screen on Lubuntu? [18:30] 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] 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] KM0201, right im working on the latter, a way to remind myself to set a password [18:38] It worked!!! [18:38] :D [18:38] Woohoo [18:38] Got the log in screen working perfectly!! :D [18:39] Cheers mate! [18:39] haemogoblin: what were you trying to do? [18:40] looks like hes trying to celebrate [18:40] I am indeed [18:41] I was having a ball ache with the Login screen in Lubuntu [18:41] every time i booted the machine, the login window would display in 640x480 [18:41] Does anybody use lubuntu as their main OS ? [18:41] So everything was huge [18:41] jita, i do [18:41] I wanted it to be the same as my desktop res [18:41] 1125x864 [18:41] pfifo, any issues ? [18:42] jita: Lubuntu is fun, but not at easy as Ubuntu i've found [18:42] jita, no not really [18:42] Maybe it's because i'm using an industrial mini itx board [18:43] jita, the default image viewer is crap, i had to install eye of gnome [18:43] but configuring the beast has been a fight from word go [18:43] I am facing a single issue that 'run dialog' opens up in background [18:43] but probably no more involved then using a laptop with obscure HW [18:43] so if i run alt+F2 and i am running some applciatons, the run dialog opens up in the background [18:44] btw does lubuntu have pdf viewer ? [18:44] i installed evince for that [18:45] and the office apps included performs equally good as libre office [18:45] ? [18:46] i use google documents for my office needs [18:46] you can of course install liber if you want it [18:47] I use a lot of terminal apps on mine and open office for writing [18:47] btw it looks better than ubuntu unity :P [18:48] I've only seen unity briefly [18:48] i dont know if i like it or not [18:49] :-/ [18:49] unity seems to be a touchscreen interface imo [18:49] I wonder how it would run on a Centrino 800 [18:49] i have a tablet PC that could use an OS :-) [18:51] i need to test my livecd [18:54] well it booted [18:55] the kernel upgrade was held back, im debating on upgrading to 3 [18:57] pfifo, which one you got currently ? [18:57] 2.6.32-33-generic [18:58] pfifo, on lubuntu 11.04 ? [18:58] 10.04 === ubuntu is now known as clmntfrndz [18:58] pfifo, why not 11.04? [18:58] it uses 2.6 too afaik [18:58] This is a livecd, i want the LTS [18:59] hey guys [18:59] is it possible to turn a terminal commands like java -jar minecraft.jar [18:59] in to an icon? [19:00] so i dont have to type it all the time? [19:00] pfifo, why LTS? dont like upgrading ? [19:00] jita, upgrading a livecd is somewhat involved [19:00] pfifo: there are no LTS's of lubuntu. [19:01] phillw, ok to be fair, i started with a 'debootstrap' of lucid and then installed lubuntu-desktop [19:01] it's ok, i think i worked it out [19:01] :D [19:03] hmm, how do i add home folder to desktop ? [19:05] when you same home [19:05] do you mean like a shortcut to your download, picture dir? [19:06] haemogoblin, yes shortcut to my home directory ~ [19:06] Well i had this issue a while back [19:06] and one of the guys on here helped me [19:06] i can't recall their name [19:06] nvm got it [19:06] added filemanager to desktop [19:07] yes [19:07] how di you do it? [19:07] lol, thats the only icon i CANT remove from my desktop [19:08] pfifo, it wasnt there on newly installed lubuntu 11.10 [19:08] haemogoblin: yes, it should be easy [19:08] what did you do to get it to appear? maybe i can do the reverse [19:09] pfifo, right click on filemanager in start menu and add to dekstop [19:10] nope no good [19:12] do add and icon i went via the menu [19:12] selected what i wanted, right click and "add to desktop" [19:13] 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] :) [19:13] I really have to add that to my blog! [19:14] brb [19:27] 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] *point* [19:30] 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] phillw, im sorry i dont follow, what is that guide going to help me do? [19:44] pfifo: soz, it was haemoglobin who was asking, if he returns and I'm not about please suggest it to him. [19:45] ok [19:45] i think he got it anyway [19:46] I did trial something for one of the guys, but I think that lxshortcut has been developed since those early trials. === robotman is now known as AlexAv
