psychx- | When I was running Ubuntu 11.10, my keyboard commands (play, next, previous, etc) worked perfect with Banshee for example. Now on Lubuntu, they aren't working. Can someone help me? | 01:27 |
---|---|---|
maraz | you'll need to look at ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml | 01:43 |
maraz | dunno if there's a better way | 01:44 |
psychx- | it says the specified directory is not valid | 02:08 |
br0ther | psychx-: there are pretty detailed instructions for the volume up/down buttons in the lxde wiki faq at http://wiki.lxde.org/en/FAQ - that said it will be the same tip that maraz gave but with the gory details ofc | 02:30 |
br0ther | psychx-: and ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml is indeed the correct location | 02:31 |
psychx- | mike@mike-lubuntu:~$ ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml | 03:37 |
psychx- | bash: /home/mike/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml: Permission denied | 03:37 |
psychx- | mike@mike-lubuntu:~$ sudo ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml | 03:40 |
psychx- | sudo: /home/mike/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml: command not found | 03:40 |
psychx- | btw my volume buttons work great | 03:45 |
psychx- | its pause/play next/previous that i need | 03:45 |
reD_Fox | man, this is driving me nuts | 04:22 |
reD_Fox | just installed lubuntu on a partioned drive | 04:22 |
reD_Fox | grub says "unknown filesystem" | 04:23 |
reD_Fox | heh | 04:23 |
reD_Fox | the other two Os's boot fine... | 04:23 |
reD_Fox | I've tried reinstalling... | 04:24 |
reD_Fox | ...and reinstalling | 04:24 |
reD_Fox | ...and formatting | 04:24 |
reD_Fox | and reformatting | 04:24 |
reD_Fox | wierd... | 04:29 |
reD_Fox | I just deleted the windows partition and the lubuntu partition | 04:30 |
reD_Fox | combined the space into a new partition | 04:30 |
reD_Fox | installed lubuntu | 04:30 |
reD_Fox | and everything works | 04:30 |
reD_Fox | psh | 04:30 |
reD_Fox | back to the drawing board... | 04:31 |
reD_Fox | does grub have trouble reading a filesystem on a partition if it's toward the end of the drive? | 04:31 |
Triumphguy | Anyone know how to disable the super key from starting the LXDE menu? I use the super key for my default keybindings and it opens the menu everytime. | 05:19 |
reD_Fox | Triumphguy: Have you browsed the /etc/xdg/ XML files? | 05:36 |
Triumphguy | no haven't tried that, I looked through the config file for lxpanel but that doesn't seem to be an option | 05:37 |
reD_Fox | yeah | 05:38 |
reD_Fox | I don't see it... | 05:39 |
reD_Fox | grep for <action name="ShowMenu"> | 05:40 |
reD_Fox | look for the one with the keybinding | 05:40 |
reD_Fox | a lot of keybindings are in /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml | 05:40 |
reD_Fox | ...but I don't see the root-menu activator | 05:40 |
Triumphguy | ok I'll take a look at it | 05:40 |
reD_Fox | hmm | 05:41 |
reD_Fox | better grep for root-menu | 05:41 |
reD_Fox | there are a lot of other showmenu actions :) | 05:41 |
Triumphguy | yea it's the little things that are a pain, all my computers have the same keybindings | 05:44 |
reD_Fox | oops | 05:45 |
reD_Fox | totally wrong place | 05:45 |
reD_Fox | see this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/73043/how-do-i-unbind-super-key-from-menu-in-lubuntu ? | 05:45 |
reD_Fox | (I haven't verified...) | 05:45 |
reD_Fox | yep, that seems to be it... | 05:48 |
reD_Fox | Super_L and Super_R are both defined in .config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml | 05:48 |
reD_Fox | they activate "lxpanelctl menu" | 05:48 |
reD_Fox | Triumphguy: ^^^ | 05:49 |
Triumphguy | Yea it was all on one line which is why I didn't see it thanks for the help!! I knew I couldn't be the only one with this problem | 05:52 |
bioterror | I've made a bug raport about that | 05:54 |
bioterror | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/890394 | 05:54 |
ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 890394 in lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "lxmenu is run everytime you use shortcut using super -key" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 05:54 |
bioterror | press that it affects you too | 05:55 |
Triumphguy | will do | 05:55 |
reD_Fox | hmm | 06:29 |
reD_Fox | how come the lubuntu livecd doesn't always bring up the graphical interface? | 06:29 |
reD_Fox | on the comp I'm booting it on, it's been about 50/50 | 06:29 |
reD_Fox | and the interface that comes up after I "startx" looks a bit different from the one when it loads automatically... | 06:30 |
bioterror | reD_Fox, you should look for logs | 06:31 |
bioterror | reD_Fox, startx is a wrong command | 06:31 |
bioterror | you should use "startlubuntu" | 06:31 |
bioterror | or try 'sudo service lxdm restart' | 06:31 |
reD_Fox | ahh | 06:39 |
reD_Fox | the comp I'm booting it on must have some problems, because the graphical interface will load occasionally | 06:41 |
reD_Fox | but it's sporadic | 06:41 |
reD_Fox | oh well | 06:41 |
reD_Fox | it runs when it runs :) | 06:42 |
bioterror | when it doesnt run, can you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 06:42 |
reD_Fox | (man... I liked grub's old menu.lst a lot better...) | 06:42 |
bioterror | reD_Fox, that's why I'm using arch linux ;) | 06:43 |
bioterror | legacy grub <3 | 06:44 |
reD_Fox | heh | 06:44 |
reD_Fox | yeah | 06:44 |
reD_Fox | I peeked at the log | 06:44 |
reD_Fox | 594 lines, it is | 06:44 |
bioterror | quite many lines | 06:45 |
reD_Fox | maybe I'll look at it next time _before_ I type "startx" | 06:45 |
bioterror | you should | 06:45 |
reD_Fox | hmph | 06:58 |
reD_Fox | an Xorg.0.log file isn't even generated on a fail... | 06:58 |
bioterror | huh? | 06:59 |
bioterror | do you have .xsession-errors | 06:59 |
bioterror | or something like that it was | 06:59 |
reD_Fox | dunno... | 07:01 |
bioterror | there must be something :P | 07:02 |
bioterror | how else we could see what's wrong | 07:02 |
reD_Fox | yeah | 07:04 |
reD_Fox | I'm not too concerned, though | 07:04 |
reD_Fox | the installed version has booted fine so far | 07:05 |
reD_Fox | and all I'm using is the command line atm anyway | 07:05 |
reD_Fox | ...but it is still curious :) | 07:05 |
=== sagaci_ is now known as sagaci | ||
reD_Fox | wow, finally... | 07:08 |
reD_Fox | grub is working with my 3 partitions | 07:08 |
reD_Fox | that was a headache and a half | 07:08 |
reD_Fox | bleh | 07:09 |
reD_Fox | and it's like it'll be at least another half a headache to get Windows XP to be the first option... | 07:09 |
reD_Fox | grr | 07:09 |
bioterror | how so? | 07:11 |
bioterror | you have in /etc/default/grub line GRUB_DEFAULT="xxxx" A | 07:15 |
reD_Fox | 'cause it's being added by the os_prober script | 07:15 |
reD_Fox | right | 07:15 |
bioterror | add your exact windows line in there | 07:15 |
bioterror | Windows XP | 07:15 |
reD_Fox | that's simple enough | 07:15 |
bioterror | or what ever it is | 07:15 |
bioterror | how the grub shows it in the menu | 07:16 |
reD_Fox | but I'd still like to order them so that the next two options beneath it are the other two linux distros for easy selection | 07:16 |
bioterror | that's not how ubuntu wants it to work :( | 07:16 |
reD_Fox | and it seems that everytime os_prober runs (i.e. during an update_grub) it will remove any ordering I've done manually in grub.cfg | 07:17 |
reD_Fox | right | 07:17 |
bioterror | as it generates the grub.cfg | 07:17 |
reD_Fox | heh | 07:17 |
bioterror | everytime kernel is updated | 07:17 |
reD_Fox | mm hmm | 07:17 |
reD_Fox | hmm | 07:21 |
reD_Fox | can you have dup'd entries? | 07:21 |
* reD_Fox goes to try it... | 07:21 | |
sowhat | hello! can you please suggest good php editor ? | 08:24 |
phiscribe | they are just text files, if you want syntax highlighting and such maybe geany? | 08:26 |
lubiana | sowhat: google told me that gphpedit might be what youre looking for | 08:26 |
sowhat | syntax highligthing and this feature which suggests function name when you start typing it | 08:28 |
phiscribe | geanry, does that im pretty sure, ive not tried gphpedit as its for gnome, kate should do this under kde | 08:29 |
phiscribe | just apt-get geany its small, can add plugins later | 08:30 |
sowhat | sorry for stupid question, but what is under Lubuntu - kde, gnome or what? :D | 08:30 |
lubiana | lxde | 08:30 |
phiscribe | not kde or gnome, | 08:30 |
lubiana | you hould try geany | 08:30 |
sowhat | okay, thanks | 08:31 |
lubiana | if you like lubuntu, than geany might be exactly what you are looking for :-) | 08:31 |
phiscribe | i love geany, (and kate too), i use it for anything text | 08:32 |
phiscribe | even has a windows version for when im in that world | 08:32 |
sowhat | sowhat@lubuntu:~$ apt-get geany | 08:34 |
sowhat | E: Invalid operation geany | 08:34 |
lubiana | sowhat: apt-get install geany | 08:35 |
phiscribe | sorry i abbriviated | 08:35 |
phiscribe | sudo apt-get install geany | 08:35 |
sowhat | :) tnx | 08:35 |
lubiana | no problem | 08:35 |
lubiana | well, no i have a question too | 08:36 |
lubiana | how do i set keyboard shortcuts in lubuntu? | 08:36 |
phiscribe | no clue there, im on kde machine atm | 08:36 |
phiscribe | rc.xml maybe | 08:37 |
phiscribe | LXKeymap | 08:38 |
lubiana | phiscribe: no, thats only for setting the keyboard layout | 08:40 |
lubiana | i also checked the openbox config | 08:40 |
lubiana | but there ist still some lxde config files to check out | 08:40 |
phiscribe | doex lxde handle that or soemthing else | 08:41 |
phiscribe | openbox maybe | 08:42 |
phiscribe | i got to manyos itis | 08:43 |
lubiana | well, then i have to look into the openbox config again | 08:43 |
phiscribe | lxde-rc.xml or rc.xml | 08:43 |
phiscribe | or add one of those key dameons | 08:45 |
sowhat | can you tell me, what key combination I need to press on Geany to do tag completion? | 08:53 |
phiscribe | tab mabye sowhat | 09:00 |
sowhat | nope, tab doesnt work. What is he pressing in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbh1mVsVeU0&feature=player_embedded | 09:05 |
sowhat | tab started working :) thanks | 09:13 |
sowhat | I like Geany | 09:13 |
phiscribe | you were blowing my brain for a second | 09:13 |
phiscribe | yeah lots of funciton, small footprint | 09:14 |

david_j_r | Does anyone have experience with old webcams on Lubuntu? | 19:22 |
wrecksdart | Hello all--I was on the hunt for a lightweight ubuntu install, started at Xubuntu, and eventually made my way to Lubuntu, and I'm very happy with it. That said, I have one question... | 19:54 |
wrecksdart | When running the installer, I noticed that I couldn't change the focus by pressing the tab button--is this by design? | 19:55 |
reisio | 11.10 hybrid? | 20:44 |
psychx- | I am trying to setup my keyboard to work with Banshee correctly. I am being told to edit my ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml file; but all I have is a ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml file. Is that the same thing? | 21:45 |
jibust | Hi, I'm a new Lubuntu 11.10 user. I have it running on an old Dell 630m. At first it was incredibly fast but now its is extremely slow. I have it up to date, and recently it is slower than windows XP. The letters take time to appear while I type, when I open applications it takes at least 20 secs. Any help would be appreciated. | 21:56 |
jibust | Anyone here who can help? | 22:06 |
wxl | omg i'm gonna pull my hair out | 22:08 |
wxl | can someone look at my lubuntu-rc.xml? i keep getting an error on it that i cna't find | 22:08 |
theredbaron_ | jibust run top from a command line and see what is taking up the cpu cycles. And I could look wxl, but I don't know if I could fix. Upload it somewhere. | 22:10 |
wxl | gimme a sec theredbaron_ | 22:10 |
theredbaron_ | O, and I would guess that it would be the same Psychx. | 22:12 |
jibust | @theredbaron if I run top, chrome browser is the only process taking up any cpu, but if I close chrome, the computer is still slow | 22:12 |
wxl | wtf | 22:12 |
wxl | now freaking pastebinit is messing with me | 22:12 |
theredbaron_ | try this wxl http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 22:13 |
theredbaron_ | Um, could be you have a process doing lots of read/writes jibust. Not sure how to check. Give me a sec. | 22:13 |
jibust | ok, thanks | 22:13 |
wxl | apparently the first line of it was keeping it from going there because it's confusing it for php: "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" | 22:14 |
wxl | anywho theredbaron_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/744777/ | 22:14 |
theredbaron_ | Can you paste the error? | 22:20 |
theredbaron_ | I am sure this isn't the "right" way jibust, but can you install htop. A ncurses top thing. Lets you sort process but all kindsa things. | 22:22 |
wxl | grr i guess i have to type it out | 22:22 |
theredbaron_ | then run it and sort by niceness. See if anything is overshadowing things. | 22:22 |
theredbaron_ | Ha, yeah, I hate that stuff wxl | 22:22 |
jibust | ok, let me give it a try | 22:22 |
wxl | aw crap | 22:23 |
wxl | One or emore XML syntax errors were found while parsing the Openbox configuration files. See stdout for more information. The last error seen was in file "/home/wxl/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml" line 856, with message: Premature end of data in tag openbox_config line 4 | 22:24 |
theredbaron_ | Also, have you tried removing all your old packages, orphend packages. | 22:24 |
wxl | s/emore/more | 22:24 |
jibust | I remove those with autoremove right? | 22:24 |
wxl | oh i think i found it! | 22:26 |
theredbaron_ | do you have synaptic installed jibust? | 22:26 |
theredbaron_ | Also, awesome. What is it wxl? | 22:26 |
jibust | yes id o | 22:26 |
wxl | bullshit | 22:27 |
jibust | yes i do | 22:27 |
wxl | should be a "</keybind>" at line 430 | 22:27 |
theredbaron_ | Ah, well, if that fixes it. AWESOME. | 22:27 |
wxl | wow that was easy | 22:27 |
wxl | what's ridiculous it that has NOTHING to do with any of that error | 22:28 |
wxl | oh well whatever | 22:28 |
theredbaron_ | Well, now to try and focus on jibust. :) Nice going finding it then. | 22:28 |
wxl | right indeed | 22:28 |
theredbaron_ | Start up synaptic | 22:28 |
jibust | done | 22:28 |
theredbaron_ | Go to settings filters | 22:29 |
jibust | yes | 22:29 |
theredbaron_ | Crap, I forgot you might not have deborphan yet. install that first. It finds libs, unused packages, ect to be removed. | 22:30 |
jibust | ok, installing | 22:32 |
theredbaron_ | Once you have that, go to settings/filters. Press new and name it "removable". Only have Orphaned auto removable and residual config checked. And press ok. | 22:32 |
theredbaron_ | That adds a button under custom filters that list all things that can be unneeded or have leftover files. | 22:34 |
theredbaron_ | afk. One min | 22:34 |
jibust | done | 22:35 |
theredbaron_ | Were there alot of packages in there? | 22:35 |
jibust | 9 | 22:35 |
theredbaron_ | :( not much. Any of them big things, daemons, ect? | 22:36 |
theredbaron_ | Eh, either way, right click and mark for complete removal. | 22:37 |
jibust | nope | 22:37 |
jibust | ok, done | 22:37 |
theredbaron_ | Ok, open up a term and type sudo htop | 22:39 |
jibust | ok | 22:39 |
theredbaron_ | well, left click on mem, cpu, ect and tell me what comes up on top. | 22:41 |
theredbaron_ | Hope something will show up. :) | 22:41 |
jibust | you mean cpu% mem%? | 22:44 |
theredbaron_ | yeah. when you click it, it sorts by that. that way you can see what is using the most cpu, mem, ext | 22:45 |
jibust | ok, in cpu% the top 5 are: 1-3 chrome, 4 htop and 5 is a process called /usr/bin/X :0 vt07 -nolisten tcp | 22:46 |
bekor | hey friends anyone available? | 22:49 |
theredbaron_ | Well, that isn't anything. /usr/bin/x is your "desktop" for lack of a better word. | 22:49 |
theredbaron_ | Howdy Bekor. | 22:49 |
theredbaron_ | K, so time to make it show some more jibust. press F2 | 22:50 |
bekor | hi i just updated to 11.10 and know i have three internet icons any idea how to get rid of two of them? | 22:50 |
theredbaron_ | Sec bekor I know, but got to look. :) | 22:50 |
jibust | done | 22:51 |
theredbaron_ | go down to display options and make sure nothing is hidden. Then go to columns move all the way right and add IO_Read_Rate IO_Write_rate to the active columns then press F10 | 22:52 |
theredbaron_ | Now bekor, I take it you mean from your menu bar? | 22:52 |
bekor | yes | 22:53 |
jibust | done | 22:54 |
theredbaron_ | I take it you want a gui editor then? Something to remove it with? DL http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxmed/files/latest/download?source=files | 22:54 |
theredbaron_ | Ok, now you are back on the main screen right jibust? | 22:55 |
jibust | yes I am | 22:55 |
theredbaron_ | click the IOWR button to arrange by the write's. | 22:55 |
jibust | done everything shows 0 | 22:56 |
jibust | actually, this is the top one jbd2/sdal-8 | 22:56 |
jibust | and Network MAnager | 22:57 |
bekor | their are three internet icons on the bottom task bar | 22:57 |
theredbaron_ | O, the task bar. Sorry, much eaiser. | 22:58 |
theredbaron_ | Jibust is it a notebook? | 22:58 |
jibust | yes it is | 22:58 |
theredbaron_ | Rightclick on the icons Bekor, and go to app launch bar settings and just click and remove. | 22:59 |
jibust | an old Dell 630m i wasn't using. | 22:59 |
theredbaron_ | open up synaptic again and see if laptop-mode is installed then jibust. | 22:59 |
theredbaron_ | Did that do it Bekor? | 23:00 |
bekor | still trying to figure it out do not see them in the list | 23:00 |
jibust | do you mean laptop-mode-tools | 23:01 |
theredbaron_ | yeah, is it installed jibust | 23:01 |
theredbaron_ | ? | 23:01 |
jibust | no it is not | 23:01 |
theredbaron_ | what is in the list bekor? | 23:01 |
theredbaron_ | then install it, it is a thing that helps laptops run better. I did a quick check on jbd2/sdal-8 and I found my way to it as being a prob with a few lappys who didin't have the tools installed | 23:02 |
bekor | i think isee it know | 23:02 |
theredbaron_ | Hopefully that will help the things out a bit. | 23:02 |
bekor | well i see monitor network status should i remove that and install it again? | 23:03 |
theredbaron_ | I don't think so. You just want to have the three internet things removed from your app launch thing right? | 23:04 |
bekor | i do not see them in the list | 23:04 |
theredbaron_ | sec.. | 23:05 |
bekor | i am in panel preferances should i be somewhere else? | 23:05 |
jibust | @theredbaron I want to thank you for all your patience, you have been extremely helpful. I have to go now, but I have to admit the pc feels a lot snappier, maybe its just my imagination, but anyway thanks. | 23:06 |
theredbaron_ | Ha, well, hope I helped a little at least. | 23:08 |
theredbaron_ | yea. check out this pic. Do you want to have them removed from where I have circled? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/40/testbs.png/ | 23:09 |
bekor | are you talking to me? | 23:11 |
theredbaron_ | If so, when you right click on the item, don't click panel settings, click "Application Launch bar Settings". It should be at the top. And yeah, sorry. I try and put names in when I say something so to know for sure, but forgot Bekor. | 23:12 |
bekor | i do not see anything like that when i right click on the wireless icon | 23:13 |
theredbaron_ | Do you have mtpaint intalled? It comes with lubuntu. If so, can you open it up, press file new, and click grab screenshot. Then circle what you are talking about. Cause I might have been way off. :( Then upload it to imageshack.us. | 23:14 |
bekor | where is screen shot listed? | 23:16 |
theredbaron_ | when you press new, there is a pop up that asks what kinda new thing you want, and one of the dots you can pick is grab screenshot. | 23:16 |
theredbaron_ | Or, if it isn't working right I think you can just type mtpaint -s from the command line. | 23:17 |
bekor | ok i got it how do i send it to you? | 23:19 |
theredbaron_ | in a web browser go to imageshack.us. Click browse and go to where you saved the screenshot. Then click upload now. | 23:20 |
bekor | ok hold on i have to do it again because i had it on i task bar when not used and it was not their | 23:21 |
theredbaron_ | :) I am not going anywhere. | 23:24 |
bekor | sorry having issues it is basically three icons next to eachother instead of one | 23:25 |
theredbaron_ | Ok, well, is it the wifi icons, or the internet icons That is where I am confused. | 23:26 |
theredbaron_ | What happens when you click them? | 23:26 |
bekor | tipicle thing just gives you conig options | 23:27 |
theredbaron_ | Well, then right click panel, go to panel settings. (Don't click the icon, just a random empty spot) | 23:29 |
theredbaron_ | Go to panel applets and scroll down to "System tray". Do you have more then one "system tray"? | 23:30 |
bekor | i got an idea isn't their a start up menue somewhere maybe i can make it only one their instead of three | 23:30 |
bekor | that did not do anything | 23:31 |
theredbaron_ | That depends on if it is starting up 3 different things, or if it it just has 3 different system tray sets, but good pint. Didn't think of that. | 23:31 |
theredbaron_ | Go to preferences desktop Session Settingss. That is the autostart thing. | 23:32 |
bekor | i have three spacers on the list is that normal | 23:32 |
=== robotman is now known as AlexAv | ||
theredbaron_ | On desktop sessions? | 23:33 |
theredbaron_ | Cause if you are talking about the panel preferences then that is ok. | 23:33 |
bekor | on ad or remove panel items it says i have three spacers am i suppose to? | 23:35 |
theredbaron_ | Yeah, that is right. Just space between some of the panel items. keeps them separated a bit. | 23:36 |
bekor | i saw on start up menue their was only one network thingy i was hoping to see three than i could remove the other two | 23:37 |
theredbaron_ | Yeah, that would have been nice. | 23:37 |
bekor | not sure what to do i wish their was some kind of replace apllication in the terminal or commands or something | 23:39 |
theredbaron_ | one sec, let me check something. | 23:39 |
theredbaron_ | Go to your home folder, press ctrl h, to unhide all folders. Go to .config/autostart. See if you have any multi starts there. | 23:42 |
theredbaron_ | If that doesn't work, I am really out of ideas. You should post in ubuntuforums.org for help. Sorry. Never had this issue before. | 23:45 |
bekor | the only thing i have in their for some reason is docky | 23:46 |
theredbaron_ | Sorry. That is why I always do fresh install's. There are often weird little quirks that come over with upgrades. | 23:47 |
bekor | i see i have had issues also i will just live with it for now thaks | 23:48 |
bekor | come up with anything new email me at bekor@gmail.com | 23:48 |
theredbaron_ | Sorry. I wish I was of more help. Still, I would post on the forums. There might be someone who has seen it before and knows a fix. And will do. | 23:48 |
bekor | thanks again | 23:49 |
