[00:02] <elz89> psychx-: since 11.10 I have had many issues with certain pieces of hardware being blacklisted out of the box.
[00:03] <psychx-> elz89: =/
[00:10] <psychx-> How do I force kill a process?
[00:11] <wxl> killall app

[00:29] <psychx-> im lovin lubuntu
[00:29] <psychx-> it runs so great
[00:29] <wxl> glad to hear it, despite the issues
[00:30] <psychx-> Yeah so far the only issue is this damn FGLRX, but everything else is awesome
[00:30] <psychx-> gotta reboot, brb
[00:51] <psychx-> When I run "top" in Terminal, I can obviously see all of the running processes; but it seems like there is more to the list. How do I "scroll" down to see everything?
[00:52] <wxl> interactive commands here http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_top.htm
[00:52] <psychx-> ty
[00:52] <psychx-> Would you recommend htop?
[00:53] <elz89> psychx-: for you.. yes.
[00:53] <psychx-> :O
[00:54] <psychx-> What's THAT supposed to mean?
[00:54] <psychx-> lol jk
[00:54] <elz89> I'm English and I live in England, so sometimes my humour don't go down too well... lol
[00:56] <psychx-> lol I got it
[00:59] <elz89> anyone using rssowl on lubuntu? I cant get it going. refers to gnome in error log. unpacked from GetDeb.
[01:02] <wxl> ]`maybe it needs gnome?
[01:49] <bekor> anyone here
[01:50] <reflexrg> hi
[01:50] <reflexrg> what's your issue?
[01:50] <bekor> wow thanks
[01:51] <reflexrg> ?
[01:51] <bekor> hold on
[01:52] <bekor> i am new to lubuntu
[01:52] <reflexrg> ic
[01:53] <bekor> please wait a second so i can get right what i am wanting to ask ok , sorry i will be right back
[01:54] <bekor> i am using the ultimate version 2.8 realy cool
[01:56] <bekor> it has some different window managers? when you start up but i can only seem to use the lubuntu or default one is you can choose is gnome any thing you are familiar with?
[01:56] <Unit193> The Ultimate edition isn't Lubuntu, it's only based on it and isn't exactly supported in here
[01:57] <Unit193> If someone can help, great, but chances aren't high
[01:57] <bekor> ok well that is good to know is this not the lubuntu channel?
[01:58] <Unit193> Yes it is
[01:59] <bekor> it says lubuntu when you first start up
[01:59] <bekor> the funny thing is when i installed an nvidia driver it started up saying ubuntu 10.10
[02:00] <Unit193> Did you download it from http://ultimateedition.info ? If so, it's not Lubuntu
[02:00] <Unit193> We can try to help, but I haven't ever used it
[02:00] <bekor> i understan thank you anyway
[02:01] <Unit193> Can you re-ask in different words?
[02:01] <Unit193> And sorry, I'll see if there is another place
[02:03] <Unit193> bekor: #UltimateEdition
[02:03] <bekor> thanks so much
[02:04] <reflexrg> I think I'll stick with lubuntu its official ubuntu distro family
[02:04] <Unit193> They also have a forum
[02:04] <Unit193> I think it would be more lightweight
[02:04] <reflexrg> so you know its gonna be good quality and professional over other distros
[02:04] <reflexrg> that are rebundled ubuntu
[02:05] <reflexrg> its more lightweight?
[02:06] <Unit193> I haven't tested, but the reason for Ultimate is to have everything :P
[02:06] <Unit193> This is offtopic
[03:06] <bekor> hi can someone tell me how to get compositing to work on lubuntu i installed compiz but can noy find the compositing button
[03:38] <holstein> bekor: there will be no button.. i would open a terminal and try...
[03:39] <holstein> compiz --replace
[03:39] <holstein> if you like what is happening, you can decide how you would like to make that permanent
[03:42] <reflexrg> doesn't using compiz with lxde defeat the purpose of lxde of lightweightness?
[03:43] <holstein> depends on what you are doing with it
[03:43] <holstein> i use it on XFCE... i like several of the features on my netbook
[03:43] <bekor> well i do not know i am kind of playing around with an xtra hard drive
[03:43] <bekor> thanks
[04:18] <psychx-> how do i screenshot?
[04:18] <psychx-> i hit print screen and opened mtpaint but it wont let me paste it
[04:20] <reflexrg> psychx- look in your home folder
[04:21] <reflexrg> it gets automatically saved in ~/
[04:21] <psychx-> o ok
[04:21] <reflexrg> /home/yourname/ files are in there
[04:23] <psychx-> liar! D: i feel like an idiot
[04:25] <psychx-> htop is awesome.
[04:33] <reflexrg> I am a liar? psychx-
[04:43] <reflexrg> no your not psychx- that's how its usually down in windows you paste it in a paint editor or image editor
[04:43] <reflexrg> done*
[04:47] <psychx-> :)
[04:50] <psychx-> Ok, so I was using TeamSpeak, and the sound was working fine. Now, when I go to open Chromium, I have no sound. Any ideas?
[04:51] <reflexrg> clear your browsers cache and cookies maybe???
[04:51] <reflexrg> then restart
[04:51] <psychx-> I'm sure if I restart this will be fixed, but I don't want it to happen every time. I'm not arguing, I'm just wondering if maybe there is a better fix?
[05:03] <psychx-> Can someone help me diagnose my problem? I have no sound, I just rebooted. I had sound find in TeamSpeak3, then opened Chromium - no sound. Rebooted. Now I opened Chromium, no sound. Opened Banshee and imported mp3's that I know work, and I still have no sound.
[05:59] <skiwithpete> how do i install a font?
[07:31] <JohnDoe_71Rus> Install by the virtualbox lubuntu 11.10. On a disk already was lubuntu 10.04 have suggested it to update. It will work with ubuntu 10.04?
[08:16] <iceroot> JohnDoe_71Rus: ?
[08:20] <zors> Hi everyone.  Currently have Ubuntu 11.10 installed on my Toshiba Notebook.  Idle cpu usage VERY high, sometimes as much as 30% when doing nothing.  TOP reports nothing out of the ordinary, which is strange.  As a last resort, I've downloaded the Lubuntu 11.10 ISO in hope of ridding myself of the problem.  So, question is, would running Lubuntu use fewer idle cpu cycles (and less heat) than vanilla Ubuntu??  Have already run the Lubuntu L
[08:20] <zors> ive disc session - everything seems okay, but would just like some sort of confirmation before I wipe the drive.  Thanks.
[08:21] <iceroot> zors: you dont have to wipe the drive
[08:21] <iceroot> zors: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[08:23] <zors> @iceroot, thanks, tried that already, same problem I'm afraid.  The prob disappears when I run the Lubuntu Live disc.  That's why I'm looking toward a clean install, but afraid the problem will return.
[08:24] <iceroot> zors: in top is there a high %wa value?
[08:25] <iceroot> zors: high = more then 20
[08:25] <iceroot> zors: if it is high, use iotop to see what is causing it
[08:33] <skiwithpete> hey
[08:34] <skiwithpete> how do I install a font?
[08:36] <bioterror> skiwithpete, depends what kind of font, but you can always then refresh the font cache
[08:36] <skiwithpete> ?
[08:37] <bioterror> !fonts
[08:43] <skiwithpete> bioterror, cheers

[16:56] <lolzer> how do i group my minimized windows in the panel??
[16:57] <lolzer> its getting overflowed by the sides
[16:58] <kvarley> How do I change what the soft buttons do on my keyboard? Play/Pause; Mute; Vol Down; Vol Up; etc
[17:04] <lolzer> kvarley, i think you should take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1703640
[17:05] <kvarley> lolzer: Why thank you =)
[17:09] <lolzer> ??
[17:58] <moomoo> Hi I have a quick question about this lubuntu problem that I'm having.  Randomly my monitor will go black, and then go back to normal. This usually happens once a session. Also it seems some of my windows and colors gets screwed up. For example, one of my application window will look like what ever is behind the window. Like's its transparent in a way.
[17:58] <moomoo> I've never had this problem in 11.04, but recently had this problem since I've upgraded to 11.10.
[17:59] <bioterror> you have screensaver disabled?
[17:59] <moomoo> Let me check.
[17:59] <moomoo> Yes it's disabled.
[18:02] <moomoo> Next time it happens I'll see if I can take a screenshot of the problem.
[18:02] <bioterror> it would be great
[18:03] <bioterror> press printscreen -button
[18:03] <bioterror> it will take screenshot to your ~/
[18:03] <moomoo> Thank you bioterror.
[19:54] <Gege71> hello
[19:54] <peaceZ> hello all
[19:55] <reflexrg> hi peaceZ
[19:59] <peaceZ> i a new about lubuntu but experienced under ubuntu anyway, i have problems to install lubuntu on a Eeepc Asus http://usa.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_701SD/#specifications  the resolution of the screen is 800X480
[20:01] <peaceZ> firstly i am surprised when choosing any between the livecd boot or the installation i get always a blue screen with a login window, what to do there i have the choice between user and root, but it need a pasword
[20:02] <peaceZ> more than that the resolution of my screen does not enable to see the complete image, is it possible to force a constraint resolution for the live cd or install ?
[20:02] <reflexrg> yeah I think so
[20:02] <peaceZ> i thought i would have nothing to do and it would drop on the desktop as an ubuntu
[20:03] <reflexrg> you have to edit the bootup options before the cd boots up
[20:03] <reflexrg> I believe
[20:04] <bioterror> peaceZ, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Workarounds#Screen_resolution_is_wrong.2C_no_matter_what_I_do.21.21
[20:04] <peaceZ> thank you for the link bioterror
[20:04] <reflexrg> each release of ubuntu fixes screen resolution problems
[20:05] <reflexrg> mine use to be messed up a few releases with the bootup texts
[20:05] <reflexrg> but screen resolution was normal at login and desktop
[20:05] <bioterror> wish my *buntu bootups were just texts
[20:06] <reflexrg> you can edit that
[20:06] <bioterror> no I cannot
[20:06] <reflexrg> sure you can to make it show texts instead of the splashscreens
[20:07] <bioterror> plymouth is hard coded, and so is upstart
[20:07] <reflexrg> I see
[20:07] <reflexrg> well I haven't messed with it since old releases
[20:07] <peaceZ> bioterror on first step of the tutorial already it fails, how comes, ctrl+alt+f1 does not works,
[20:07] <bioterror> peaceZ, that should take you to the TTY1
[20:07] <bioterror> tty1
[20:07] <bioterror> console
[20:07] <peaceZ> is it normal to reach that login window before all when starting ?
[20:08] <peaceZ> yeah i know it about any ubuntu, but in this case even the keyboard is working , it does not behave like that
[20:08] <bioterror> hmm
[20:09] <peaceZ> i can't reach the terminal
[20:09] <bioterror> we could do it in a dirty way
[20:09] <bioterror> when you boot, you hold left shiftkey
[20:09] <bioterror> so that you end up to grub
[20:09] <peaceZ> the mouse is inoperant too
[20:09] <bioterror> then you edit the boot line, after "ro splash" or what was it
[20:10] <bioterror> you add: text
[20:10] <peaceZ> i am under live cd
[20:10] <bioterror> what
[20:10] <peaceZ> no grub installed yet
[20:10] <peaceZ> it is the first launch
[20:10] <bioterror> nothing much to do with LiveCD's
[20:10] <peaceZ> both, installation and livecd behaves same
[20:10] <bioterror> use alternate for installing
[20:11] <bioterror> or mini.iso
[20:11] <bioterror> !alternate
[20:11] <bioterror> !mini
[20:11] <peaceZ> but i saw installation it the start menu anyway
[20:11] <peaceZ> ok i will download it
[20:11] <bioterror> mini.iso, my favourite!
[20:12] <peaceZ> lubuntu still in beta version or is fully fonctionnal yet ?
[20:13] <peaceZ> mwhat are differences between mini iso and alternate?
[20:13] <peaceZ> in which case to choose one or other ?
[20:13] <bioterror> alternate installs whole desktop from text based installer
[20:13] <bioterror> mini install just core and leaves you into console
[20:15] <peaceZ> heu my friend will throw it in my face if i let him under terminal :D
[20:16] <peaceZ> ok then if i use alternate it is a good option ?
[20:16] <bioterror> from terminal you can just fetch all the latest packages with commands: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends
[20:16] <bioterror> alternate is a good option
[20:19] <peaceZ> soon i will burn it, it is downloading well 1,3Mb/s
[20:20] <bioterror> I hope you took "lubuntu" alternative
[20:20] <bioterror> not the ubuntu ;)
[20:20] <moomoo> Hi bioterror, my monitor display just got screwed again. Let me post the screenshot up.
[20:21] <peaceZ> quite sure about it don't worry ;)
[20:22] <peaceZ> i just wonder a modern notebook with only 8Mb hard drive, it is quite poor for an os
[20:22] <moomoo> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/256/201111171520171920x1080.png
[20:23] <bioterror> 8GB? ;)
[20:23] <peaceZ> if it is too greedy i will have the option to use linux puppy :s
[20:23] <moomoo> Mainly it's my keepass window that gets screwed up, and sometimes my firefox window has a similar problem.
[20:23] <peaceZ> bioterror http://usa.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_701SD/#specifications it is sd card looks like
[20:24] <peaceZ> Asus surprised me always :D
[20:26] <bioterror> moomoo, I dont see any problems? :)
[20:26] <bioterror> moomoo, or is that white box in your XChat? :D
[20:26] <moomoo> See my keepass window. I don't if you guys have used the program before but it's taken on my xchat window.
[20:27] <moomoo> I have xchat on the right side and keepass on the left. But my keepass window has taken my xchat window and used it as it's background. If I overlay another window on top it'll change again.
[20:27] <moomoo> Sorry, it's difficult to explain my problem.
[20:33] <peaceZ> haha the best writing speed 4x , enable to keep the cd's valid longer
[20:38] <bioterror> moomoo, that's normal! ;D
[20:38] <bioterror> moomoo, normal openbox behaviour :D
[20:38] <bioterror> moomoo, but I could say that I've managed to fix that with xcompmgr
[20:40] <bioterror> moomoo, xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55      << I've got that kind of line in autostart
[20:42] <peaceZ> bioterror then i burned the cd now i am going to try it with your command line
[20:42] <bioterror> peaceZ, godspeed!
[20:47] <peaceZ> untill now i make a trial it enable me to use 640x480:32 that looks good then lets see it does not do anything bad untill now
[20:48] <bioterror> I have two phones with same resolution :D
[20:49] <moomoo> Thanks bioterror.
[20:49] <bioterror> moomoo, did it help?
[20:49] <peaceZ> wow it is working on phones too ? :o
[20:50] <peaceZ> surely not mine :D it is a Neandertalian phone :D
[20:50] <moomoo> Yes :D. What does that command do?
[20:51] <bioterror> moomoo, enable composition ;)
[20:52] <bioterror> peaceZ, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D018lQeVz4 for example
[20:53] <moomoo> Hmm, I don't understand why having composition off would screw up my windows. I'll look further into composition.
[20:53] <bioterror> moomoo, becouse openbox ;)
[20:53] <bioterror> I've had the same
[20:54] <bioterror> but seems like you have decent hardware... :-)
[20:54] <moomoo> Maybe I shouldn't be using openbox then. Well I have composition off because I didn't want to slow down my machine.
[20:54] <moomoo> What window manager are you using bioterror?
[20:54] <bioterror> I'm using openbox
[20:55] <bioterror> and i'm using gnome3 with gnome-shell
[20:55] <bioterror> and on one laptop I have fluxbox
[20:56] <moomoo> I'm still using gnome 2. I'm worried about the new gnome3 UI slowing down my machine.
[20:56] <bioterror> well
[20:56] <bioterror> it will slow down if you have 64bit installation and way too less RAM
[20:56] <bioterror> this laptop with 2GB of RAM was rather slow in my usage
[20:57] <moomoo> Is there anyway I can test gnome3 and go back to gnome2 if it's too slow.
[20:57] <bioterror> I would rather go with the XFCE4 than Gnome 2
[20:57] <bioterror> but that's just me
[20:58] <moomoo> Thanks again. I'll do my research :)
[20:58] <wxl> i'd rather run ANYTHING other than gnome
[20:58] <bioterror> wxl, dont be like that
[20:58] <moomoo> What are you running wxl?
[20:58] <wxl> i'm just being honest
[20:58] <bioterror> I like how Gnome 3 works together
[20:59] <bioterror> all the google calendars and so on is there integrated into calendars
[20:59] <bioterror> and gives notifys
[20:59] <wxl> moomoo: i rather like lxde although i've been given some reason to look into enlightenment of all things
[20:59] <bioterror> it's like windows desktop on good drugs
[20:59] <wxl> omg
[20:59] <wxl> only thing is, that's a hefty cocktail of drugs
[20:59] <wxl> fun as they are, i don't think i can afford them
[20:59] <bioterror> yeah, Elvis's cocktail :D
[21:01] <bioterror> but I'm using calendars a lot, and Gnome 3 works for me
[21:01] <bioterror> I'm syncing my and wife's calendars to phone and few computers ;)
[21:02] <moomoo> Well that's another reason why I wanted to try out gnome 3. I couldn't get conky to sync with my google calendar :(
[21:03] <bioterror> and all other small things
[21:03] <bioterror> but I've wasted more time on this laptop with openbox + tint2 than what I've wasted on configuring gnome3
[21:03] <bioterror> and I'm still on half way there with openbox :D
[21:03] <wxl> you know the thing that sold me on enlightment and wanted to check it out is that it's modular
[21:04] <bioterror> E17 is far from good
[21:04] <wxl> if you could unload the unnecessary parts of gnome that would be nice
[21:04] <bioterror> all the menu's and things are non-logical
[21:04] <wxl> again, i'm at the conceptual phase
[21:04] <wxl> haven't got my hands on it yet
[21:04] <bioterror> and everytime I've tried it, it has crashed
[21:05] <moomoo> wxl: Lol! I thought you mean enlightenment as in you're still looking for a window manager.
[21:05] <bioterror> Enlightenment DR17 did not lure me into the path of light ;)
[21:06] <wxl> no, yeah, moomoo, i have been considering playing with enlightment the window manager
[21:06] <wxl> we'll see
[21:06] <wxl> there's also this every continuous temptation to try a dynamic window manager
[21:06] <bioterror> dwm could be a thing
[21:06] <wxl> i was thinking xmonad
[21:07] <bioterror> SalixOS ships with ratpoison :D
[21:07] <wxl> THATS funny
[21:07] <wxl> ratpoison is just silly
[21:07] <bioterror> it's old as a
[21:07] <wxl> gotta go
[21:07] <bioterror> http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/Download_Ratpoison :D
[21:12] <bioterror> peaceZ, how's the installation?
[21:34] <peaceZ> bioterror, now it is finsidh it was very slow everythinh seems perfect
[21:34] <peaceZ> thanks a lot for your help
[21:34] <peaceZ> i will check it a bit to see and make the last changes
[21:35] <bioterror> you made xorg.conf?
[21:37] <peaceZ> not even it starts directly on the good resolution
[21:37] <bioterror> good
[21:46] <peaceZ> yes i wonder too,
[21:47] <peaceZ> just one thing the wifi saw my wifi router but could not connect, still be trying, i will reboot to see, because the wifi was not enabled on begining, surely need to adjust itself
[21:48] <bioterror> or it might be broadcom, b43 :D
[22:06] <peaceZ> working now the wifi is connected it was expecting the key in hex :s
[22:07] <bioterror> :D
