| Mr_EE1 | ikonia: good morning! tell me if i want to change to unity how do i do it or install it on the same lubuntu | 08:11 |
|---|---|---|
| bioterror | may I ask why? | 08:13 |
| Mr_EE1 | the most of my questions are for lubuntu then the answers i get are for unity's environment i cant get want they have been giving me to do | 08:14 |
| bioterror | then use the vanilla buntu and enjoy your unity | 08:15 |
| bioterror | I dunnoa bout your questions nor the answers | 08:15 |
| Mr_EE1 | bioterror: how | 08:15 |
| Mr_EE1 | bioterror: what is the vanilla buntu? | 08:16 |
| bioterror | if you think about ice cream | 08:17 |
| bioterror | the very basic flavour of ice cream is vanilla, right? | 08:17 |
| bioterror | it's blend and so on | 08:17 |
| bioterror | the very basic flavour of ubuntu is... ubuntu! | 08:19 |
| bioterror | then there are these excotic flavours like kubuntu, xubuntu and lubuntu | 08:19 |
| Mr_EE1 | bioterror: so how do i install them together | 08:19 |
| bioterror | Mr_EE1, I would first like to know what you're after | 08:20 |
| Mr_EE1 | i dont get you? | 08:20 |
| bioterror | why you want unity, for real | 08:20 |
| bioterror | what have you been doing so that you really want it, why you need it | 08:20 |
| bioterror | as you have installed lubuntu and you're now screaming for unity | 08:21 |
| bioterror | enlighten me | 08:21 |
| Mr_EE1 | the net it does' nt have the answers on my q? | 08:21 |
| bioterror | and your question is? | 08:21 |
| Mr_EE1 | i mean when i am looking for the q? the window that are there they are for unity | 08:22 |
| bioterror | so? | 08:22 |
| Mr_EE1 | the window are not the same | 08:22 |
| bioterror | :( | 08:22 |
| Mr_EE1 | and that unity looks great thatn lubuntu | 08:22 |
| bioterror | I drove my driving licence on Toyota Avensis Honda Civic, but still I can drive trucks, vans and turbocharged cars without a problem | 08:23 |
| Mr_EE1 | ok for an example: a dash there is no dash in lubuntu | 08:23 |
| bioterror | no dash?! | 08:24 |
| bioterror | is dash that thing where you type application name and it will show it to you? | 08:26 |
| Mr_EE1 | yep | 08:26 |
| bioterror | use alt+f2 | 08:26 |
| bioterror | type what ever you want | 08:26 |
| bioterror | but now for real | 08:27 |
| bioterror | what are you looking for | 08:27 |
| Mr_EE1 | that is the basic thing even in in fedora its there | 08:27 |
| bioterror | good for fedora | 08:27 |
| Mr_EE1 | do you wanna play me brother? | 08:28 |
| bioterror | you installed lubuntu and you come here for asking unity | 08:28 |
| bioterror | as unity is more than just dock on the left side of the screen | 08:28 |
| Mr_EE1 | ok whats up with you for me wanting what i want? | 08:30 |
| bioterror | I was here and I saw you demanding unity | 08:31 |
| Mr_EE1 | yes i want it realy bad for your information | 08:31 |
| Mr_EE1 | you know what forget i ever asked that q? | 08:32 |
| bioterror | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/ there you go | 08:32 |
| bioterror | install ubuntu | 08:32 |
| br0ther | if you got lubuntu running you just need to install the unity-desktop | 08:32 |
| Mr_EE1 | how do i install it bro do i have to format or together with lubuntu | 08:33 |
| Mr_EE1 | br0ther: thanks brother i appreciate ok | 08:33 |
| Mr_EE1 | br0ther: then after what steps should i do | 08:34 |
| Mr_EE1 | br0ther: it says ""E: Unable to locate package unity-desktop | 08:35 |
| br0ther | install the meta package, logout from lubuntu session and at the login screen select unity as desktop and login | 08:35 |
| br0ther | et cvoila | 08:35 |
| br0ther | et voila | 08:35 |
| Mr_EE1 | what is ""et voila"' | 08:36 |
| br0ther | french idiom | 08:36 |
| br0ther | I guess the package name is actually just unity thoguh | 08:37 |
| Mr_EE1 | if i try unity it says that its already installed | 08:37 |
| br0ther | looks like it is missing some sessions ans stuff so that's not the correct name indeed | 08:38 |
| br0ther | I think there are better channels to ask about this as unity is a competing desktop to lubunbtu | 08:38 |
| bioterror | we do not compete at all | 08:38 |
| Mr_EE1 | it does bro | 08:39 |
| head_victim | I think installing unity requires "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" | 08:39 |
| Mr_EE1 | that is a big | 08:40 |
| br0ther | ubuntu-desktop sounds indeed about correct | 08:40 |
| Mr_EE1 | then after installing it i just log out and log inn on unity? | 08:40 |
| yonyon | firefox doesn't support 'smb' protocol, there is any other way connecting to a LAN server? | 08:40 |
| bioterror | yonyon, use pcmanfm | 08:41 |
| bioterror | yonyon, smb://server/share/ | 08:41 |
| bioterror | !gvfs | 08:41 |
| head_victim | Yep, Lubuntu is aimed at lower specification and older hardware. So if you have an older computer don't expect unity to function as well as lubuntu is all. | 08:41 |
| yonyon | i dont want to see the files. i have an apache server (wamp) running on WIN7 | 08:41 |
| yonyon | i want to see the webpage | 08:42 |
| bioterror | samba has nothing to do with webpages | 08:42 |
| head_victim | Can you even browse webpages over smb? | 08:42 |
| Mr_EE1 | i am using nvidia motherboard dual core | 08:42 |
| head_victim | I run unity in a dual core VM with 4gb ram without too much lag. That should be alright, I've never had it on bare metal yet though. | 08:43 |
| Mr_EE1 | dual core 2 processor | 08:45 |
| yonyon | how can i make firefox to resolve the DNS for the homegroup lan first? | 08:45 |
| bioterror | yonyon, you should have your local dns first in your /etc/resolv.conf | 08:46 |
| yonyon | it will resolve WIN7 names? (like 1-pc)? | 08:47 |
| bioterror | you just said you have DNS for your LAN | 08:47 |
| br0ther | I put fixed IPs for my home lan in /etc/hosts | 08:48 |
| bioterror | if you dont have a local dns, then you have to edit /etc/hosts and add manually hostnames for the ip addresses | 08:48 |
| bioterror | but I still think those are the jobs of dhcpd | 08:49 |
| bioterror | less work to do it once properly than many times on different computers | 08:49 |
| yonyon | my resolv.conf file contain this line "domain siemens", "search siemens", "nameserver 10.0.0.138" | 08:50 |
| bioterror | seems like someone is at work office :--) | 08:51 |
| yonyon | no i do not work at siemens. my router is siemens SL2-141 | 08:51 |
| bioterror | okay | 08:51 |
| yonyon | those 3 lines sufficient to resolve WIN7 names? | 08:52 |
| bioterror | if you have specified in your routers lan settings ip addresses to match certain mac addresses | 08:53 |
| br0ther | yonyon: if your router has a DNS server that it populates. | 08:53 |
| br0ther | yonyon: I highly doubt it | 08:53 |
| yonyon | br0ther, i am sorry but i don't really understand anything with those network settings | 08:55 |
| yonyon | there isn't any easy way to configure linux to resolve WIN7 names? | 08:56 |
| bioterror | /etc/hosts | 08:56 |
| bioterror | just like you have in windows | 08:56 |
| yonyon | copy the content from windows hosts files to the lubuntu one? | 08:57 |
| bioterror | technically yes | 08:58 |
| bioterror | they are almost the same | 08:58 |
| yonyon | ok | 08:59 |
| bioterror | below 127.0.0.1 localhost | 08:59 |
| bioterror | add what ever you want | 08:59 |
| yonyon | i have only 1 line | 09:00 |
| yonyon | "127.0.0.1 localhost127.0.0.1 localhost" | 09:00 |
| bioterror | yep | 09:00 |
| bioterror | below that, add what ever you want | 09:01 |
| yonyon | no, i mean i have only that line on my windows hosts file | 09:01 |
| bioterror | I do too | 09:01 |
| yonyon | on my netbook(lubuntu) i already have the same line | 09:02 |
| yonyon | still not working | 09:08 |

| phiscribe | anybody got a list of bookmarks pertaining to swithcing desktops and windows managers around, how to clean up leftover files, ect. (i want to go to unity 2d end result. | 20:13 |
| phiscribe | but i want to be able to go back to lxde at will | 20:14 |
| phiscribe | all in 10gb partition | 20:14 |
| yonyon | how can i set compiz to be the default windows manager instead of openbox? | 20:24 |
| lphiscribe | from the box in questions (i think im not a klone) | 20:24 |
| phiscribe | those are the kinds of questions i am having too, my google fu is broken | 20:25 |
| myrmidette | anyone awake? | 20:27 |
| myrmidette | I'll ask anyway: what controls the brightness keys in lxde? | 20:27 |
| myrmidette | I can't find any keybindings relating to brightness the same way as they do to sound in my rc.xml | 20:28 |
| phiscribe | http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1374 | 20:28 |
| phiscribe | but its 3 years old | 20:28 |
| Unit193 | phiscribe: Not all left overs will really be fixed, but the !puregnome, !purekde, and !purexfce give links to good ones (/msg ubottu !purelxde) You can also try out LiveCDs or *maybe* dualboot | 20:29 |
| phiscribe | mmm purge, sounds like i need to steal the neighbors newspaper first, and bring extra charmin | 20:30 |
| * phiscribe copies this to a note | 20:31 | |
| Unit193 | Remember to make sure you're using the version at the top | 20:32 |
| Unit193 | yonyon: Compiz isn't exactly lightweight, but I'd ASSUME you just install it and hit alt+f2 and type compiz --replace | 20:32 |
| phiscribe | ok, im reading through the notes, i DO wish to be careful, thanks for the program list | 20:32 |
| Unit193 | Just note that it's not as good as a clean install | 20:33 |
| phiscribe | is the a pureunity2d type command | 20:35 |
| Unit193 | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome That includes LXDE | 20:37 |
| Unit193 | yonyon: You could also look at cairo compmgr too | 20:41 |
| phiscribe | thanks | 20:48 |
| fabioqc | q: im installing ubuntu 10.10 with the minimal cd using CLI. will "$sudo apt-get install lubuntu-core" provide me with a desktop environment? TIA. | 20:58 |
| yonyon | Unit193, i dont really need compiz | 20:58 |
| yonyon | i need a composite manager for cairo-dock | 20:59 |
| yonyon | the problem with "compiz --replace ccp" is that i lose the lxpanel | 21:00 |
| Unit193 | fabioqc: Why 10.10? It's best to go wtih either the currect, or 10.04 if your hardware requires you to | 21:00 |
| Unit193 | s/correct/current/g | 21:00 |
| fabioqc | id like to know if lubuntu-core provides a desktop environment, or would i have to run the full lubuntu-desktop command instead? | 21:02 |
| fabioqc | 10.10 because i found a guide on best performance for the GMA 500 | 21:03 |
| Unit193 | The core should work, and I *think* the GMA500 will be better supported next release (From what another user of that said) | 21:03 |
| fabioqc | this is the guide i found = (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1229345) | 21:05 |
| fabioqc | they've done good work on the gma 500 since i last tried a few years back. | 21:06 |
| fabioqc | i wonder if those instruction (in the guide) will work for 11.10 ? | 21:08 |
| === bodhizazen is now known as bodhi_zazen | ||
| === fabioqc is now known as fabioqc_AWAY | ||
| Unit193 | bodhi_zazen: Have any comments on the GMA500 in 11.10 or 12.04? ;) | 21:10 |
| === fabioqc_AWAY is now known as fabioqc | ||
| fabioqc | Unit193 : I went away there for a second. I'm about to give 11.10 a try. | 21:40 |
| fabioqc | one last thing, is it necessary to add the lubuntu-desktop repository if i will only be installing the lubuntu-core | 21:46 |
| fabioqc | ? | 21:46 |
| Unit193 | Not on 10.10, no | 21:50 |

| holstein | teamahma: i would probably just right click and save the torrent file, and open it with whatever | 23:56 |
