[01:27] 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] you'll need to look at ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [01:44] dunno if there's a better way [02:08] it says the specified directory is not valid [02:30] 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] psychx-: and ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml is indeed the correct location [03:37] mike@mike-lubuntu:~$ ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [03:37] bash: /home/mike/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml: Permission denied [03:40] mike@mike-lubuntu:~$ sudo ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [03:40] sudo: /home/mike/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml: command not found [03:45] btw my volume buttons work great [03:45] its pause/play next/previous that i need [04:22] man, this is driving me nuts [04:22] just installed lubuntu on a partioned drive [04:23] grub says "unknown filesystem" [04:23] heh [04:23] the other two Os's boot fine... [04:24] I've tried reinstalling... [04:24] ...and reinstalling [04:24] ...and formatting [04:24] and reformatting [04:29] wierd... [04:30] I just deleted the windows partition and the lubuntu partition [04:30] combined the space into a new partition [04:30] installed lubuntu [04:30] and everything works [04:30] psh [04:31] back to the drawing board... [04:31] does grub have trouble reading a filesystem on a partition if it's toward the end of the drive? [05:19] 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] Triumphguy: Have you browsed the /etc/xdg/ XML files? [05:37] no haven't tried that, I looked through the config file for lxpanel but that doesn't seem to be an option [05:38] yeah [05:39] I don't see it... [05:40] grep for [05:40] look for the one with the keybinding [05:40] a lot of keybindings are in /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml [05:40] ...but I don't see the root-menu activator [05:40] ok I'll take a look at it [05:41] hmm [05:41] better grep for root-menu [05:41] there are a lot of other showmenu actions :) [05:44] yea it's the little things that are a pain, all my computers have the same keybindings [05:45] oops [05:45] totally wrong place [05:45] see this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/73043/how-do-i-unbind-super-key-from-menu-in-lubuntu ? [05:45] (I haven't verified...) [05:48] yep, that seems to be it... [05:48] Super_L and Super_R are both defined in .config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [05:48] they activate "lxpanelctl menu" [05:49] Triumphguy: ^^^ [05:52] 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] I've made a bug raport about that [05:54] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/890394 [05:54] Ubuntu bug 890394 in lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "lxmenu is run everytime you use shortcut using super -key" [Undecided,Confirmed] [05:55] press that it affects you too [05:55] will do [06:29] hmm [06:29] how come the lubuntu livecd doesn't always bring up the graphical interface? [06:29] on the comp I'm booting it on, it's been about 50/50 [06:30] and the interface that comes up after I "startx" looks a bit different from the one when it loads automatically... [06:31] reD_Fox, you should look for logs [06:31] reD_Fox, startx is a wrong command [06:31] you should use "startlubuntu" [06:31] or try 'sudo service lxdm restart' [06:39] ahh [06:41] the comp I'm booting it on must have some problems, because the graphical interface will load occasionally [06:41] but it's sporadic [06:41] oh well [06:42] it runs when it runs :) [06:42] when it doesnt run, can you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [06:42] (man... I liked grub's old menu.lst a lot better...) [06:43] reD_Fox, that's why I'm using arch linux ;) [06:44] legacy grub <3 [06:44] heh [06:44] yeah [06:44] I peeked at the log [06:44] 594 lines, it is [06:45] quite many lines [06:45] maybe I'll look at it next time _before_ I type "startx" [06:45] you should [06:58] hmph [06:58] an Xorg.0.log file isn't even generated on a fail... [06:59] huh? [06:59] do you have .xsession-errors [06:59] or something like that it was [07:01] dunno... [07:02] there must be something :P [07:02] how else we could see what's wrong [07:04] yeah [07:04] I'm not too concerned, though [07:05] the installed version has booted fine so far [07:05] and all I'm using is the command line atm anyway [07:05] ...but it is still curious :) === sagaci_ is now known as sagaci [07:08] wow, finally... [07:08] grub is working with my 3 partitions [07:08] that was a headache and a half [07:09] bleh [07:09] and it's like it'll be at least another half a headache to get Windows XP to be the first option... [07:09] grr [07:11] how so? [07:15] you have in /etc/default/grub line GRUB_DEFAULT="xxxx" A [07:15] 'cause it's being added by the os_prober script [07:15] right [07:15] add your exact windows line in there [07:15] Windows XP [07:15] that's simple enough [07:15] or what ever it is [07:16] how the grub shows it in the menu [07:16] 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] that's not how ubuntu wants it to work :( [07:17] 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] right [07:17] as it generates the grub.cfg [07:17] heh [07:17] everytime kernel is updated [07:17] mm hmm [07:21] hmm [07:21] can you have dup'd entries? [07:21] * reD_Fox goes to try it... [08:24] hello! can you please suggest good php editor ? [08:26] they are just text files, if you want syntax highlighting and such maybe geany? [08:26] sowhat: google told me that gphpedit might be what youre looking for [08:28] syntax highligthing and this feature which suggests function name when you start typing it [08:29] geanry, does that im pretty sure, ive not tried gphpedit as its for gnome, kate should do this under kde [08:30] just apt-get geany its small, can add plugins later [08:30] sorry for stupid question, but what is under Lubuntu - kde, gnome or what? :D [08:30] lxde [08:30] not kde or gnome, [08:30] you hould try geany [08:31] okay, thanks [08:31] if you like lubuntu, than geany might be exactly what you are looking for :-) [08:32] i love geany, (and kate too), i use it for anything text [08:32] even has a windows version for when im in that world [08:34] sowhat@lubuntu:~$ apt-get geany [08:34] E: Invalid operation geany [08:35] sowhat: apt-get install geany [08:35] sorry i abbriviated [08:35] sudo apt-get install geany [08:35] :) tnx [08:35] no problem [08:36] well, no i have a question too [08:36] how do i set keyboard shortcuts in lubuntu? [08:36] no clue there, im on kde machine atm [08:37] rc.xml maybe [08:38] LXKeymap [08:40] phiscribe: no, thats only for setting the keyboard layout [08:40] i also checked the openbox config [08:40] but there ist still some lxde config files to check out [08:41] doex lxde handle that or soemthing else [08:42] openbox maybe [08:43] i got to manyos itis [08:43] well, then i have to look into the openbox config again [08:43] lxde-rc.xml or rc.xml [08:45] or add one of those key dameons [08:53] can you tell me, what key combination I need to press on Geany to do tag completion? [09:00] tab mabye sowhat [09:05] nope, tab doesnt work. What is he pressing in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbh1mVsVeU0&feature=player_embedded [09:13] tab started working :) thanks [09:13] I like Geany [09:13] you were blowing my brain for a second [09:14] yeah lots of funciton, small footprint [10:22] hello [16:57] what program is best to use to change color themes for lubuntu/lxde ? [18:39] Newk> i'm looking for such a prog :) [19:22] Does anyone have experience with old webcams on Lubuntu? [19:54] 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] When running the installer, I noticed that I couldn't change the focus by pressing the tab button--is this by design? [20:44] 11.10 hybrid? [21:45] 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] 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] Anyone here who can help? [22:08] omg i'm gonna pull my hair out [22:08] can someone look at my lubuntu-rc.xml? i keep getting an error on it that i cna't find [22:10] 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] gimme a sec theredbaron_ [22:12] O, and I would guess that it would be the same Psychx. [22:12] @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] wtf [22:12] now freaking pastebinit is messing with me [22:13] try this wxl http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [22:13] Um, could be you have a process doing lots of read/writes jibust. Not sure how to check. Give me a sec. [22:13] ok, thanks [22:14] apparently the first line of it was keeping it from going there because it's confusing it for php: "" [22:14] anywho theredbaron_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/744777/ [22:20] Can you paste the error? [22:22] 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] grr i guess i have to type it out [22:22] then run it and sort by niceness. See if anything is overshadowing things. [22:22] Ha, yeah, I hate that stuff wxl [22:22] ok, let me give it a try [22:23] aw crap [22:24] 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] Also, have you tried removing all your old packages, orphend packages. [22:24] s/emore/more [22:24] I remove those with autoremove right? [22:26] oh i think i found it! [22:26] do you have synaptic installed jibust? [22:26] Also, awesome. What is it wxl? [22:26] yes id o [22:27] bullshit [22:27] yes i do [22:27] should be a "" at line 430 [22:27] Ah, well, if that fixes it. AWESOME. [22:27] wow that was easy [22:28] what's ridiculous it that has NOTHING to do with any of that error [22:28] oh well whatever [22:28] Well, now to try and focus on jibust. :) Nice going finding it then. [22:28] right indeed [22:28] Start up synaptic [22:28] done [22:29] Go to settings filters [22:29] yes [22:30] Crap, I forgot you might not have deborphan yet. install that first. It finds libs, unused packages, ect to be removed. [22:32] ok, installing [22:32] 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] That adds a button under custom filters that list all things that can be unneeded or have leftover files. [22:34] afk. One min [22:35] done [22:35] Were there alot of packages in there? [22:35] 9 [22:36] :( not much. Any of them big things, daemons, ect? [22:37] Eh, either way, right click and mark for complete removal. [22:37] nope [22:37] ok, done [22:39] Ok, open up a term and type sudo htop [22:39] ok [22:41] well, left click on mem, cpu, ect and tell me what comes up on top. [22:41] Hope something will show up. :) [22:44] you mean cpu% mem%? [22:45] yeah. when you click it, it sorts by that. that way you can see what is using the most cpu, mem, ext [22:46] 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] hey friends anyone available? [22:49] Well, that isn't anything. /usr/bin/x is your "desktop" for lack of a better word. [22:49] Howdy Bekor. [22:50] K, so time to make it show some more jibust. press F2 [22:50] 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] Sec bekor I know, but got to look. :) [22:51] done [22:52] 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] Now bekor, I take it you mean from your menu bar? [22:53] yes [22:54] done [22:54] 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] Ok, now you are back on the main screen right jibust? [22:55] yes I am [22:55] click the IOWR button to arrange by the write's. [22:56] done everything shows 0 [22:56] actually, this is the top one jbd2/sdal-8 [22:57] and Network MAnager [22:57] their are three internet icons on the bottom task bar [22:58] O, the task bar. Sorry, much eaiser. [22:58] Jibust is it a notebook? [22:58] yes it is [22:59] Rightclick on the icons Bekor, and go to app launch bar settings and just click and remove. [22:59] an old Dell 630m i wasn't using. [22:59] open up synaptic again and see if laptop-mode is installed then jibust. [23:00] Did that do it Bekor? [23:00] still trying to figure it out do not see them in the list [23:01] do you mean laptop-mode-tools [23:01] yeah, is it installed jibust [23:01] ? [23:01] no it is not [23:01] what is in the list bekor? [23:02] 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] i think isee it know [23:02] Hopefully that will help the things out a bit. [23:03] well i see monitor network status should i remove that and install it again? [23:04] I don't think so. You just want to have the three internet things removed from your app launch thing right? [23:04] i do not see them in the list [23:05] sec.. [23:05] i am in panel preferances should i be somewhere else? [23:06] @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] Ha, well, hope I helped a little at least. [23:09] 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] are you talking to me? [23:12] 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] i do not see anything like that when i right click on the wireless icon [23:14] 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] where is screen shot listed? [23:16] 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] Or, if it isn't working right I think you can just type mtpaint -s from the command line. [23:19] ok i got it how do i send it to you? [23:20] in a web browser go to imageshack.us. Click browse and go to where you saved the screenshot. Then click upload now. [23:21] 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] :) I am not going anywhere. [23:25] sorry having issues it is basically three icons next to eachother instead of one [23:26] Ok, well, is it the wifi icons, or the internet icons That is where I am confused. [23:26] What happens when you click them? [23:27] tipicle thing just gives you conig options [23:29] Well, then right click panel, go to panel settings. (Don't click the icon, just a random empty spot) [23:30] Go to panel applets and scroll down to "System tray". Do you have more then one "system tray"? [23:30] 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] that did not do anything [23:31] 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] Go to preferences desktop Session Settingss. That is the autostart thing. [23:32] i have three spacers on the list is that normal === robotman is now known as AlexAv [23:33] On desktop sessions? [23:33] Cause if you are talking about the panel preferences then that is ok. [23:35] on ad or remove panel items it says i have three spacers am i suppose to? [23:36] Yeah, that is right. Just space between some of the panel items. keeps them separated a bit. [23:37] 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] Yeah, that would have been nice. [23:39] not sure what to do i wish their was some kind of replace apllication in the terminal or commands or something [23:39] one sec, let me check something. [23:42] 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] 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] the only thing i have in their for some reason is docky [23:47] Sorry. That is why I always do fresh install's. There are often weird little quirks that come over with upgrades. [23:48] i see i have had issues also i will just live with it for now thaks [23:48] come up with anything new email me at bekor@gmail.com [23:48] 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] thanks again
