[08:11] 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] may I ask why? [08:14] 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] then use the vanilla buntu and enjoy your unity [08:15] I dunnoa bout your questions nor the answers [08:15] bioterror: how [08:16] bioterror: what is the vanilla buntu? [08:17] if you think about ice cream [08:17] the very basic flavour of ice cream is vanilla, right? [08:17] it's blend and so on [08:19] the very basic flavour of ubuntu is... ubuntu! [08:19] then there are these excotic flavours like kubuntu, xubuntu and lubuntu [08:19] bioterror: so how do i install them together [08:20] Mr_EE1, I would first like to know what you're after [08:20] i dont get you? [08:20] why you want unity, for real [08:20] what have you been doing so that you really want it, why you need it [08:21] as you have installed lubuntu and you're now screaming for unity [08:21] enlighten me [08:21] the net it does' nt have the answers on my q? [08:21] and your question is? [08:22] i mean when i am looking for the q? the window that are there they are for unity [08:22] so? [08:22] the window are not the same [08:22] :( [08:22] and that unity looks great thatn lubuntu [08:23] 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] ok for an example: a dash there is no dash in lubuntu [08:24] no dash?! [08:26] is dash that thing where you type application name and it will show it to you? [08:26] yep [08:26] use alt+f2 [08:26] type what ever you want [08:27] but now for real [08:27] what are you looking for [08:27] that is the basic thing even in in fedora its there [08:27] good for fedora [08:28] do you wanna play me brother? [08:28] you installed lubuntu and you come here for asking unity [08:28] as unity is more than just dock on the left side of the screen [08:30] ok whats up with you for me wanting what i want? [08:31] I was here and I saw you demanding unity [08:31] yes i want it realy bad for your information [08:32] you know what forget i ever asked that q? [08:32] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/ there you go [08:32] install ubuntu [08:32] if you got lubuntu running you just need to install the unity-desktop [08:33] how do i install it bro do i have to format or together with lubuntu [08:33] br0ther: thanks brother i appreciate ok [08:34] br0ther: then after what steps should i do [08:35] br0ther: it says ""E: Unable to locate package unity-desktop [08:35] install the meta package, logout from lubuntu session and at the login screen select unity as desktop and login [08:35] et cvoila [08:35] et voila [08:36] what is ""et voila"' [08:36] french idiom [08:37] I guess the package name is actually just unity thoguh [08:37] if i try unity it says that its already installed [08:38] looks like it is missing some sessions ans stuff so that's not the correct name indeed [08:38] I think there are better channels to ask about this as unity is a competing desktop to lubunbtu [08:38] we do not compete at all [08:39] it does bro [08:39] I think installing unity requires "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [08:40] that is a big [08:40] ubuntu-desktop sounds indeed about correct [08:40] then after installing it i just log out and log inn on unity? [08:40] firefox doesn't support 'smb' protocol, there is any other way connecting to a LAN server? [08:41] yonyon, use pcmanfm [08:41] yonyon, smb://server/share/ [08:41] !gvfs [08:41] 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] i dont want to see the files. i have an apache server (wamp) running on WIN7 [08:42] i want to see the webpage [08:42] samba has nothing to do with webpages [08:42] Can you even browse webpages over smb? [08:42] i am using nvidia motherboard dual core [08:43] 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] dual core 2 processor [08:45] how can i make firefox to resolve the DNS for the homegroup lan first? [08:46] yonyon, you should have your local dns first in your /etc/resolv.conf [08:47] it will resolve WIN7 names? (like 1-pc)? [08:47] you just said you have DNS for your LAN [08:48] I put fixed IPs for my home lan in /etc/hosts [08:48] if you dont have a local dns, then you have to edit /etc/hosts and add manually hostnames for the ip addresses [08:49] but I still think those are the jobs of dhcpd [08:49] less work to do it once properly than many times on different computers [08:50] my resolv.conf file contain this line "domain siemens", "search siemens", "nameserver 10.0.0.138" [08:51] seems like someone is at work office :--) [08:51] no i do not work at siemens. my router is siemens SL2-141 [08:51] okay [08:52] those 3 lines sufficient to resolve WIN7 names? [08:53] if you have specified in your routers lan settings ip addresses to match certain mac addresses [08:53] yonyon: if your router has a DNS server that it populates. [08:53] yonyon: I highly doubt it [08:55] br0ther, i am sorry but i don't really understand anything with those network settings [08:56] there isn't any easy way to configure linux to resolve WIN7 names? [08:56] /etc/hosts [08:56] just like you have in windows [08:57] copy the content from windows hosts files to the lubuntu one? [08:58] technically yes [08:58] they are almost the same [08:59] ok [08:59] below 127.0.0.1 localhost [08:59] add what ever you want [09:00] i have only 1 line [09:00] "127.0.0.1 localhost127.0.0.1 localhost" [09:00] yep [09:01] below that, add what ever you want [09:01] no, i mean i have only that line on my windows hosts file [09:01] I do too [09:02] on my netbook(lubuntu) i already have the same line [09:08] still not working === bodhizazen is now known as bodhi_zazen [20:13] 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] but i want to be able to go back to lxde at will [20:14] all in 10gb partition [20:24] how can i set compiz to be the default windows manager instead of openbox? [20:24] from the box in questions (i think im not a klone) [20:25] those are the kinds of questions i am having too, my google fu is broken [20:27] anyone awake? [20:27] I'll ask anyway: what controls the brightness keys in lxde? [20:28] I can't find any keybindings relating to brightness the same way as they do to sound in my rc.xml [20:28] http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1374 [20:28] but its 3 years old [20:29] 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] 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] Remember to make sure you're using the version at the top [20:32] yonyon: Compiz isn't exactly lightweight, but I'd ASSUME you just install it and hit alt+f2 and type compiz --replace [20:32] ok, im reading through the notes, i DO wish to be careful, thanks for the program list [20:33] Just note that it's not as good as a clean install [20:35] is the a pureunity2d type command [20:37] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome That includes LXDE [20:41] yonyon: You could also look at cairo compmgr too [20:48] thanks [20:58] 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] Unit193, i dont really need compiz [20:59] i need a composite manager for cairo-dock [21:00] the problem with "compiz --replace ccp" is that i lose the lxpanel [21:00] fabioqc: Why 10.10? It's best to go wtih either the currect, or 10.04 if your hardware requires you to [21:00] s/correct/current/g [21:02] 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] 10.10 because i found a guide on best performance for the GMA 500 [21:03] The core should work, and I *think* the GMA500 will be better supported next release (From what another user of that said) [21:05] this is the guide i found = (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1229345) [21:06] they've done good work on the gma 500 since i last tried a few years back. [21:08] i wonder if those instruction (in the guide) will work for 11.10 ? === bodhizazen is now known as bodhi_zazen === fabioqc is now known as fabioqc_AWAY [21:10] bodhi_zazen: Have any comments on the GMA500 in 11.10 or 12.04? ;) === fabioqc_AWAY is now known as fabioqc [21:40] Unit193 : I went away there for a second. I'm about to give 11.10 a try. [21:46] one last thing, is it necessary to add the lubuntu-desktop repository if i will only be installing the lubuntu-core [21:46] ? [21:50] Not on 10.10, no === Zechariah is now known as zkriesse [23:54] How can I open magnet link using chromium? (torrent) [23:56] teamahma: i would probably just right click and save the torrent file, and open it with whatever [23:57] but in magnet link there is all the trackers :)
