[08:28] When I change my keymap from US to UK using Menu>Preferences>LxKeymap it works but only for the current session. When I reboot it clears the setting, how can I change it permenantly? [13:32] hi [13:33] What are the memory requirements for lubuntu in order for the system to be perfectly usable ? [13:36] kinsk: that depends on how you define perfectly usable and what you want to do with it [13:37] What computer are you going to try running it on? [13:37] i want to use it in a virtual machine and give it 1gb of ram and 1 processor [13:37] That will be plenty to do most things easily [13:38] Being a VM though, it's easy to test it out to make sure it actually does what you want. [13:38] I'll give it a try. [13:38] I find CPUs to be more limiting these days than ram, ram is so cheap and easily upgradeable that it's not usually an issue. [13:39] Yes but I'm limited to 4GB unfortunately. [13:39] I'm on a notebook BTW. [13:41] I used to run it on a 2.4 celeron processor with 1gb ram and Lubuntu was the only thing I'd run on it, nothing else was bearable. [13:51] I want to buy a usb wireless adapter but i dunno if it work in lubuntu [13:52] can u recomend me a specific chipset? [14:13] When playing a music file the media player sounds like a CD skipping. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Google doesn't seem to be much help at the moment. [14:45] echoprinter: you should have realistic expectations of your hardware... what are the specs? [14:45] you can always go in a rev the ALSA version one way or the other [14:46] when i have problems like that, i typically break out a few live CD's to see if i can gain any helpful information [14:58] holstein: Where do I find the specs at? Soundcard worked on ubuntu with no issues so I know I can get it to work. [15:00] echoprinter: yeah, but the same version of ubuntu? [15:00] there are different kernels, and different ALSA versions [15:00] holstein: yeah, it worked on 10.04, 10.10, & 11.04. [15:01] echoprinter: right [15:01] and now you have 11.10? [15:01] I have 10.10 [15:01] OK [15:01] so, 10.10 ubuntu was good, 10.10 lubuntu is bad [15:01] yes. [15:02] if i were you.... i would get the live version of 11.10, and see if the issue is resolved there, and consider upgrading now [15:03] does 11.04 use all of those resources that ubuntu uses? Ubuntu 11.04 *is* the reason I decided to go with Lubuntu, and besides the audio issue I am very happy with it so far. [15:04] lubuntu = ubuntu [15:04] it uses the same repos, has the same access to the same packages [15:04] the same default kernel [15:04] so it used Unity, right? [15:04] echoprinter: right [15:04] does it show Lubuntu down? [15:04] and you can apt get unity in lubuntu for example [15:05] slow, I mean. [15:05] ? [15:05] that would in effect change you over to ubuntu from lubuntu [15:06] with all of the changes in speed/performance/functionality [15:06] im just pointing out that they are not that different [15:07] what i usually do, for troubleshooint.. i'll get live CD's.... when i get something working, i'll note the kernel version or ALSA version... whatever packages that might effect performance [15:08] I'll get a Live CD then and try it out. Also, how can I install a new Desktop enviroments if I wanted to use Gnome on 10.10. [15:08] that's the last quetsion. :) [15:08] you can open whatever pacakge manger you use, and search gnome [15:09] ah...okay. [15:09] there are also meta-packages [15:09] ubuntu-desktop [15:09] lubuntu-destkop [15:09] holstein: thanks, you've been very helpful. [15:10] echoprinter: anytime... let us know about the audio issue... that should be easy enough when you figure out whats causing the problemm [15:10] ok, I will. [16:03] can lxdm use xdmcp? [17:28] How do I stop the folders in my $HOME displaying on my desktop? Cheers [19:37] hi guys [19:38] i have question about screenlets - they don't seem to work as they should. Btw, congratz for making such good derivate :-) [19:38] it's lubuntu 11.10 [19:39] anyways, opacity and temp sensors don't work [19:39] just wanted to ask is that usual on lxde or? [19:41] anyone? [19:41] is it usual for screenlet to not work in LXDE? [19:41] what screenlets? are they made/designed with LXDE support? [19:41] yes, not to have opacity [19:42] uhm.. not sure [19:42] installed it using synaptic [19:42] as a general rule, if you want transparency, and whizzbang, dont go for something light [19:42] can you make it work? sure [19:43] could be as easy as not having compositing? [19:43] i'm not into much eye-candy, i just like screenlets [19:44] you need packet version of screenlets? [19:45] sec, i have some connection issues.. tnx for help, though :-) now i know i can make it possible [19:46] not sure... what is 'packet version' ? [19:46] oh, i ment version of screenlets i have atm [19:47] i would use the ones in the repos, unless there is an issue with them [20:09] sry, i'm back [20:09] yes, now it works ok.. [20:09] weird [20:09] tnx, @holstein [20:10] cheers all :-) [20:36] #voip [21:50] hey is there a good download manager for LXDE? [21:51] one of my downloads keep getting interrupted and I have to restart it [21:54] i'm not aware of one for Linux period, let alone LXDE [22:00] splash: theres aria but never tried it its command tool [22:25] wget with -c switch should help, or plowdown for megaupload "like" downloads [22:54] well I've seen fatrat mentioned a few times but its KDE [23:04] Hi, I am having trouble debugging with monodevelop in lubuntu 11.10. The error message I get when I do run->run or run->debug is "File name has not been set" (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13529905/monodevelop-error.txt). Anyone experienced this?
