[08:11] <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
[08:13] <bioterror> may I ask why?
[08:14] <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
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <Mr_EE1> bioterror: what is the vanilla buntu?
[08:17] <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
[08:19] <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
[08:20] <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
[08:21] <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?
[08:22] <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
[08:23] <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
[08:24] <bioterror> no dash?!
[08:26] <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
[08:27] <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
[08:28] <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
[08:30] <Mr_EE1> ok whats up with you for me wanting what i want?
[08:31] <bioterror> I was here and I saw you demanding unity
[08:31] <Mr_EE1> yes i want it realy bad for your information
[08:32] <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
[08:33] <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
[08:34] <Mr_EE1> br0ther: then after what steps should i do
[08:35] <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
[08:36] <Mr_EE1> what is  ""et voila"'
[08:36] <br0ther> french idiom
[08:37] <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
[08:38] <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
[08:39] <Mr_EE1> it does bro
[08:39] <head_victim> I think installing unity requires "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[08:40] <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?
[08:41] <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
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <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.
[08:45] <Mr_EE1> dual core 2 processor
[08:45] <yonyon> how can i make firefox to resolve the DNS for the homegroup lan first?
[08:46] <bioterror> yonyon, you should have your local dns first in your /etc/resolv.conf
[08:47] <yonyon> it will resolve WIN7 names? (like 1-pc)?
[08:47] <bioterror> you just said you have DNS for your LAN
[08:48] <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
[08:49] <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
[08:50] <yonyon> my resolv.conf file contain this line "domain siemens", "search siemens", "nameserver 10.0.0.138"
[08:51] <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
[08:52] <yonyon> those 3 lines sufficient to resolve WIN7 names?
[08:53] <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
[08:55] <yonyon> br0ther, i am sorry but i don't really understand anything with those network settings
[08:56] <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
[08:57] <yonyon> copy the content from windows hosts files to the lubuntu one?
[08:58] <bioterror> technically yes
[08:58] <bioterror> they are almost the same
[08:59] <yonyon> ok
[08:59] <bioterror> below 127.0.0.1 localhost
[08:59] <bioterror> add what ever you want
[09:00] <yonyon> i have only 1 line
[09:00] <yonyon> "127.0.0.1       localhost127.0.0.1       localhost"
[09:00] <bioterror> yep
[09:01] <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
[09:02] <yonyon> on my netbook(lubuntu) i already have the same line
[09:08] <yonyon> still not working
[20:13] <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.
[20:14] <phiscribe> but i want to be able to go back to lxde at will
[20:14] <phiscribe> all in 10gb partition
[20:24] <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)
[20:25] <phiscribe> those are the kinds of questions i am having too, my google fu is broken
[20:27] <myrmidette> anyone awake?
[20:27] <myrmidette> I'll ask anyway: what controls the brightness keys in lxde?
[20:28] <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
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <phiscribe> mmm purge, sounds like i need to steal the neighbors newspaper first, and bring extra charmin
[20:31]  * phiscribe copies this to a note
[20:32] <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
[20:33] <Unit193> Just note that it's not as good as a clean install
[20:35] <phiscribe> is the a pureunity2d type command
[20:37] <Unit193> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome That includes LXDE
[20:41] <Unit193> yonyon: You could also look at cairo compmgr too
[20:48] <phiscribe> thanks
[20:58] <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
[20:59] <yonyon> i need a composite manager for cairo-dock
[21:00] <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
[21:02] <fabioqc> id like to know if lubuntu-core provides a desktop environment, or would i have to run the full lubuntu-desktop command instead?
[21:03] <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)
[21:05] <fabioqc> this is the guide i found = (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1229345)
[21:06] <fabioqc> they've done good work on the gma 500 since i last tried a few years back.
[21:08] <fabioqc> i wonder if those instruction (in the guide) will work for 11.10 ?
[21:10] <Unit193> bodhi_zazen: Have any comments on the GMA500 in 11.10 or 12.04? ;)
[21:40] <fabioqc> Unit193 : I went away there for a second. I'm about to give 11.10 a try.
[21:46] <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> ?
[21:50] <Unit193> Not on 10.10, no
[23:54] <teamahma> How can I open magnet link using chromium? (torrent)
[23:56] <holstein> teamahma: i would probably just right click and save the torrent file, and open it with whatever
[23:57] <teamahma> but in magnet link there is all the trackers :)
