[01:27] <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?
[01:43] <maraz> you'll need to look at ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
[01:44] <maraz> dunno if there's a better way
[02:08] <psychx-> it says the specified directory is not valid
[02:30] <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
[02:31] <br0ther> psychx-: and ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml is indeed the correct location
[03:37] <psychx-> mike@mike-lubuntu:~$ ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
[03:37] <psychx-> bash: /home/mike/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml: Permission denied
[03:40] <psychx-> mike@mike-lubuntu:~$ sudo ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
[03:40] <psychx-> sudo: /home/mike/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml: command not found
[03:45] <psychx-> btw my volume buttons work great
[03:45] <psychx-> its pause/play next/previous that i need
[04:22] <reD_Fox> man, this is driving me nuts
[04:22] <reD_Fox> just installed lubuntu on a partioned drive
[04:23] <reD_Fox> grub says "unknown filesystem"
[04:23] <reD_Fox> heh
[04:23] <reD_Fox> the other two Os's boot fine...
[04:24] <reD_Fox> I've tried reinstalling...
[04:24] <reD_Fox> ...and reinstalling
[04:24] <reD_Fox> ...and formatting
[04:24] <reD_Fox> and reformatting
[04:29] <reD_Fox> wierd...
[04:30] <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
[04:31] <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?
[05:19] <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.
[05:36] <reD_Fox> Triumphguy: Have you browsed the /etc/xdg/ XML files?
[05:37] <Triumphguy> no haven't tried that,  I looked through the config file for lxpanel but that doesn't seem to be an option
[05:38] <reD_Fox> yeah
[05:39] <reD_Fox> I don't see it...
[05:40] <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
[05:41] <reD_Fox> hmm
[05:41] <reD_Fox> better grep for root-menu
[05:41] <reD_Fox> there are a lot of other showmenu actions :)
[05:44] <Triumphguy> yea it's the little things that are a pain, all my computers have the same keybindings
[05:45] <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...)
[05:48] <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"
[05:49] <reD_Fox> Triumphguy: ^^^
[05:52] <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
[05:54] <bioterror> I've made a bug raport about that
[05:54] <bioterror> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/890394
[05:55] <bioterror> press that it affects you too
[05:55] <Triumphguy> will do
[06:29] <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
[06:30] <reD_Fox> and the interface that comes up after I "startx" looks a bit different from the one when it loads automatically...
[06:31] <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'
[06:39] <reD_Fox> ahh
[06:41] <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
[06:42] <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...)
[06:43] <bioterror> reD_Fox, that's why I'm using arch linux ;)
[06:44] <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
[06:45] <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
[06:58] <reD_Fox> hmph
[06:58] <reD_Fox> an Xorg.0.log file isn't even generated on a fail...
[06:59] <bioterror> huh?
[06:59] <bioterror> do you have .xsession-errors
[06:59] <bioterror> or something like that it was
[07:01] <reD_Fox> dunno...
[07:02] <bioterror> there must be something :P
[07:02] <bioterror> how else we could see what's wrong
[07:04] <reD_Fox> yeah
[07:04] <reD_Fox> I'm not too concerned, though
[07:05] <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 :)
[07:08] <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
[07:09] <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
[07:11] <bioterror> how so?
[07:15] <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
[07:16] <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 :(
[07:17] <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
[07:21] <reD_Fox> hmm
[07:21] <reD_Fox> can you have dup'd entries?
[07:21]  * reD_Fox goes to try it...
[08:24] <sowhat> hello! can you please suggest good php editor ?
[08:26] <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
[08:28] <sowhat> syntax highligthing and this feature which suggests function name when you start typing it
[08:29] <phiscribe> geanry, does that im pretty sure, ive not tried gphpedit as its for gnome, kate should do this under kde
[08:30] <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
[08:31] <sowhat> okay, thanks
[08:31] <lubiana> if you like lubuntu, than geany might be exactly what you are looking for :-)
[08:32] <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
[08:34] <sowhat> sowhat@lubuntu:~$ apt-get geany
[08:34] <sowhat> E: Invalid operation geany
[08:35] <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
[08:36] <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
[08:37] <phiscribe> rc.xml maybe
[08:38] <phiscribe> LXKeymap
[08:40] <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
[08:41] <phiscribe> doex lxde handle that or soemthing else
[08:42] <phiscribe> openbox maybe
[08:43] <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
[08:45] <phiscribe> or add one of those key dameons
[08:53] <sowhat> can you tell me, what key combination I need to press on Geany to do tag completion?
[09:00] <phiscribe> tab mabye sowhat
[09:05] <sowhat> nope, tab doesnt work. What is he pressing in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbh1mVsVeU0&feature=player_embedded
[09:13] <sowhat> tab started working :) thanks
[09:13] <sowhat> I like Geany
[09:13] <phiscribe> you were blowing my brain for a second
[09:14] <phiscribe> yeah lots of funciton, small footprint
[10:22] <Gege71> hello
[16:57] <Newk> what program is best to use to change color themes for lubuntu/lxde ?
[18:39] <Gege71> Newk> i'm looking for such a prog :)
[19:22] <david_j_r> Does anyone have experience with old webcams on Lubuntu?
[19:54] <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...
[19:55] <wrecksdart> When running the installer, I noticed that I couldn't change the focus by pressing the tab button--is this by design?
[20:44] <reisio> 11.10 hybrid?
[21:45] <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?
[21:56] <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.
[22:06] <jibust> Anyone here who can help?
[22:08] <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
[22:10] <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_
[22:12] <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
[22:13] <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
[22:14] <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/
[22:20] <theredbaron_> Can you paste the error?
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <wxl> aw crap
[22:24] <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?
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <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
[22:28] <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
[22:29] <theredbaron_> Go to settings filters
[22:29] <jibust> yes
[22:30] <theredbaron_> Crap, I forgot you might not have deborphan yet. install that first. It finds libs, unused packages, ect to be removed.
[22:32] <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.
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <jibust> done
[22:35] <theredbaron_> Were there alot of packages in there?
[22:35] <jibust> 9
[22:36] <theredbaron_> :( not much. Any of them big things, daemons, ect?
[22:37] <theredbaron_> Eh, either way, right click and mark for complete removal.
[22:37] <jibust> nope
[22:37] <jibust> ok, done
[22:39] <theredbaron_> Ok, open up a term and type sudo htop
[22:39] <jibust> ok
[22:41] <theredbaron_> well, left click on mem, cpu, ect and tell me what comes up on top.
[22:41] <theredbaron_> Hope something will show up. :)
[22:44] <jibust> you mean cpu% mem%?
[22:45] <theredbaron_> yeah. when you click it, it sorts by that. that way you can see what is using the most cpu, mem, ext
[22:46] <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
[22:49] <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.
[22:50] <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. :)
[22:51] <jibust> done
[22:52] <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?
[22:53] <bekor> yes
[22:54] <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
[22:55] <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.
[22:56] <jibust> done everything shows 0
[22:56] <jibust> actually, this is the top one jbd2/sdal-8
[22:57] <jibust> and Network MAnager
[22:57] <bekor> their are three internet icons on the bottom task bar
[22:58] <theredbaron_> O, the task bar. Sorry, much eaiser.
[22:58] <theredbaron_> Jibust is it a notebook?
[22:58] <jibust> yes it is
[22:59] <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.
[23:00] <theredbaron_> Did that do it Bekor?
[23:00] <bekor> still trying to figure it out do not see them in the list
[23:01] <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?
[23:02] <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.
[23:03] <bekor> well i see monitor network status should i remove that and install it again?
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <theredbaron_> sec..
[23:05] <bekor> i am in panel preferances should i be somewhere else?
[23:06] <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.
[23:08] <theredbaron_> Ha, well, hope I helped a little at least.
[23:09] <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/
[23:11] <bekor> are you talking to me?
[23:12] <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.
[23:13] <bekor> i do not see anything like that when i right click on the wireless icon
[23:14] <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.
[23:16] <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.
[23:17] <theredbaron_> Or, if it isn't working right I think you can just type mtpaint -s from the command line.
[23:19] <bekor> ok i got it how do i send it to you?
[23:20] <theredbaron_> in a web browser go to imageshack.us. Click browse and go to where you saved the screenshot. Then click upload now.
[23:21] <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
[23:24] <theredbaron_> :) I am not going anywhere.
[23:25] <bekor> sorry having issues it is basically three icons next to eachother instead of one
[23:26] <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?
[23:27] <bekor> tipicle thing just gives you conig options
[23:29] <theredbaron_> Well, then right click panel, go to panel settings. (Don't click the icon, just a random empty spot)
[23:30] <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
[23:31] <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.
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <theredbaron_> On desktop sessions?
[23:33] <theredbaron_> Cause if you are talking about the panel preferences then that is ok.
[23:35] <bekor> on ad or remove panel  items it says i have three spacers am i suppose to?
[23:36] <theredbaron_> Yeah, that is right. Just space between some of the panel items. keeps them separated a bit.
[23:37] <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.
[23:39] <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.
[23:42] <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.
[23:45] <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.
[23:46] <bekor> the only thing i have in their for some reason is docky
[23:47] <theredbaron_> Sorry. That is why I always do fresh install's. There are often weird little quirks that come over with upgrades.
[23:48] <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.
[23:49] <bekor> thanks again
