| sidney | how can i retrive my password or at least the computer name with which i can remember the password | 02:31 |
|---|---|---|
| sidney | On the screen where i enter my name and password is there a way to change it | 03:59 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | sidney: Do you want to change the login screen appearance? and what did you meant by host name? | 04:00 |
| sidney | the computer name | 04:00 |
| sidney | yes in ubuntu the user name is already entered | 04:01 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | You want the username column to display a user name by default? | 04:02 |
| sidney | yes | 04:02 |
| holstein | you can just use gdm, if thats what you are used to | 04:03 |
| sidney | ok and how do i do that | 04:04 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | I think it is "sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list false" [I am not sure about the path] | 04:05 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | I found a graphical editor code. "sudo -u gdm gconf-editor" | 04:06 |
| Unit193 | IAmNotThatGuy: If it's GUI, remember the gksudo ;) | 04:06 |
| Unit193 | You'd have to install GDM and set that as default | 04:07 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | 1) Install GDM and set it as default 2)Type the above command and press enter. In the GUI screen, expand / -> apps -> GDM -> and click on Simple greeter (Not the plus button). And in that, if the "disable users list" checkbox is enabled, disable it | 04:09 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Unit193: ;P | 04:09 |
| * IAmNotThatGuy is searching for a perfect link | 04:10 | |
| yonyon | how can i change the default session from lubuntu to lxde? | 05:19 |
| kruug | alright. I set my monitor to a different resolution, but now it's all black...how to set back to correct resoultion? | 07:18 |
| psychx- | Is LXDE supposed to run faster than normal Lubuntu? | 08:28 |
| bioterror | what? | 08:28 |
| bioterror | Lubuntu = Ubuntu + Openbox & LXDE | 08:28 |
| psychx- | Then why are people asking how to switch from Lubuntu to LXDE? | 08:29 |
| bioterror | stupid is as stupid does | 08:29 |
| psychx- | Here's a question: any idea why anything flash related runs poorly on my PC? It never used to. Anything I should do? | 08:31 |
| psychx- | I have tried it on Chrome (which is really bad) and Firefox (which is manageable). | 08:31 |
| bioterror | have you checked your CPU usage during the flash is playing? | 08:31 |
| psychx- | Now, my PC is older (hence why I'm using Lubuntu and trying everything to make it faster) - but I mean it should be able to run flash. | 08:31 |
| psychx- | yeah its maxing out | 08:32 |
| bioterror | you got your answer | 08:32 |
| psychx- | ... | 08:32 |
| psychx- | thanks for the help. | 08:32 |
| bioterror | resolution of videos has grown | 08:32 |
| Unit193 | Flash isn't really all that great, it's always heavy | 08:32 |
| bioterror | amen to that, Unit193 | 08:32 |
| psychx- | so in order to have better flash playback i need to build a new pc? | 08:33 |
| wxl | wuz yr cpu psychx- | 08:34 |
| psychx- | p4 | 08:34 |
| wxl | meeh | 08:34 |
| bioterror | haha | 08:34 |
| bioterror | wish I get an euro for everytime I see someone using P4 | 08:35 |
| psychx- | funny | 08:35 |
| wxl | yeah i mean the issue isn't the os/desktop | 08:35 |
| wxl | it's flash man | 08:35 |
| bioterror | and the hardware acceleration of flash aint working well either | 08:35 |
| wxl | right | 08:36 |
| psychx- | i dont understand why flash is so hard to run, i can play openGL games perfectly, run 1080p videos fine (from a file), etc... but flash is just bad.. | 08:36 |
| wxl | talk to adobe about it | 08:37 |
| * wxl notes how much he loves zsync | 08:37 | |
| Unit193 | psychx-: Exactly, flash is just bad | 08:37 |
| psychx- | are there alternatives? | 08:38 |
| wxl | yes! | 08:38 |
| wxl | not using flash | 08:38 |
| psychx- | i dont mean for something like youtube or whatever, but in general, if someone were to develop something | 08:38 |
| psychx- | basically what im asking is why would someone develop in flash | 08:39 |
| psychx- | unless there is no alternative | 08:39 |
| wxl | why would someone develop in .net | 08:39 |
| wxl | ask me that one | 08:39 |
| wxl | s/ask/answer | 08:39 |
| psychx- | no idea | 08:39 |
| psychx- | i dont dev lol | 08:39 |
| bioterror | psychx-, you can run on your pentium 4 H264 L5 stuff? | 08:39 |
| psychx- | but wondering if maybe someone here does | 08:39 |
| psychx- | bioterror: yeah | 08:39 |
| psychx- | flash and new games are the only things i cant run | 08:40 |
| Unit193 | wxl: It's easier to code GUI | 08:40 |
| bioterror | I bet you cannot | 08:40 |
| psychx- | ok... | 08:40 |
| psychx- | then dont ask me | 08:40 |
| psychx- | go try it yourself | 08:40 |
| wxl | Unit193: i was looking for more of the knee-jerk reaction :D | 08:40 |
| psychx- | why do i feel like everyone is being condescending towards me in here | 08:41 |
| wxl | not | 08:41 |
| wxl | more like condescending against flash | 08:41 |
| Unit193 | ^^ That's the word, it's just plain annoying | 08:42 |
| Unit193 | Best idea I would have, some sort of firefox plugin exists to replace flash video players with a native client version, or you could just use DownloadHelper and delete after | 08:43 |
| psychx- | hmm | 08:43 |
| psychx- | well what im trying to do is not watch video, more play games and what not | 08:43 |
| psychx- | for example, i play with family of mine that doesnt live near me on facebook poker | 08:44 |
| psychx- | which is flash | 08:44 |
| psychx- | its almost non-playable, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt | 08:44 |
| wxl | i feel you man, it's just tough | 08:44 |
| wxl | adobe ain't building for the little guy | 08:44 |
| psychx- | and to be honest, i come home from working all day, then ahve to do school work, and take care of people in the house, and then i have people like bio saying like haha you have a p4 and i bet you cant watch 1080 and what not | 08:45 |
| psychx- | its just rude | 08:45 |
| psychx- | and scumbag adobe over here makin me lag | 08:46 |
| psychx- | but im going ot bed thanks for the help everyone | 08:49 |
| wxl | shhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssh | 08:49 |
| wxl | why you gotta be such a dick, bioterror ? ;) | 08:49 |
| bioterror | :( | 08:50 |
| wxl | well i'm off to bed | 08:52 |

| extio | ok, so i have been using linux for like a week, i took it today to the coffee shop where i am nolw, and realized i needed to know the name of the network to use the wireless connection | 18:59 |
| extio | i had to ask some for the name of the network to type into the ssid in the network manager | 19:00 |
| extio | any suggestions on a tool to scan for networks without security? | 19:01 |
| extio | such as to find the coffee shop network | 19:02 |
| holstein | extio: maybe its a hidden ssid | 19:13 |
| extio | i can find it in windows fine | 19:13 |
| holstein | i wouldnt lose sleep over it til you have a larger test base | 19:13 |
| extio | ive been to this shop before | 19:14 |
| extio | its just maybe i dont know how to use lubuntu to search for wireless networks? | 19:14 |
| holstein | the included tool has found all the ssid's for me so far | 19:14 |
| holstein | you can try wicd | 19:14 |
| holstein | or some other network manager that you may be more familiar with | 19:14 |
| extio | if i install anew one | 19:15 |
| extio | will they clash? | 19:15 |
| holstein | extio: they'll do whatever you want | 19:15 |
| meway | what would cause setup screen to freeze after perssing enter? | 19:56 |
| meway | *using a usb stick* | 19:57 |

| meway | wrong highlight? | 19:59 |
| holstein | n00bomatic: sorry ;) | 19:59 |
| holstein | meway: ^ | 19:59 |
| wxl | maybe could get something from the log if you boot into recovery | 20:00 |
| holstein | i was assuming you mean when booting the installation media meway , is that the case? | 20:00 |
| n00bomatic | sorry..my gigabit switch seems to have some issues... | 20:00 |

| david_j_r | Can anyone help translate a solution from Ubuntu on forums into Lubuntu? | 20:56 |
| holstein | david_j_r: feel free to ask your question... if someone can, they will help :) | 20:57 |
| david_j_r | OK - thanks! Still trying to get hotkeys to change keyboard layouts in Lubuntu. | 20:58 |
| david_j_r | After MUCH scouring of forums, this is about the only "solved" thread it seems: | 20:59 |
| david_j_r | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9460843#post9460843 | 20:59 |
| david_j_r | But that's a Gnome solution -- can the equivalent be done in Lubuntu? | 21:00 |
| david_j_r | It involves "editing 'apps/metacity/keybinding_commands' in gconf-editor." | 21:03 |
| david_j_r | ...and that's a Gnome windows manager... | 21:03 |
| david_j_r | So in Lubuntu? | 21:03 |
| yonyon | how can i change the default session from lubuntu to lxde? | 21:30 |
| bioterror | and lubuntu is? | 21:32 |
| bioterror | Mr. Wikipedia knows it all: Lubuntu (pronounced /luːˈbuːntuː/ "loo-BOON-too") is a lightweight Linux operating system based on Ubuntu but using the LXDE desktop environment in place of Ubuntu's Unity shell and GNOME desktop. | 21:33 |
| yonyon | on login screen i have this sessions: defaukt, LXDE, openbox, Lubuntu, Gnome | 21:37 |
| yonyon | Lubuntu and default are the same | 21:37 |
| yonyon | i want to make LXDE as the default login session | 21:38 |
| holstein | yonyon: lubuntu is running LXDE, so they are going to look very similar, if not the same | 21:44 |
| yonyon | no its not | 21:48 |
| holstein | yonyon: ? | 21:48 |
| holstein | lubuntu *is* running LXDE | 21:48 |
| yonyon | on LXD session compiz is running automatically, while in Lubuntu session openbox is refusing to replace with compiz | 21:49 |
| yonyon | they also looks the same | 21:49 |
| yonyon | *doesnt | 21:49 |
| holstein | yonyon: thats your customization of them though | 21:49 |
| holstein | they should look similar | 21:49 |
| holstein | you just choose which ever one you want when you login | 21:49 |
| Folklore | guys | 21:50 |
| Folklore | the cmd to edit mime seems to be broken on lxde | 21:50 |
| Folklore | I really need that to install my app, any suggestions? | 21:50 |
| holstein | Folklore: start collecting and reporting error messages, and go from there | 21:50 |
| yonyon | holstein, how can i change the sessions? | 21:51 |
| yonyon | lubuntu session refuse to load compiz | 21:51 |
| holstein | yonyon: i would make another user to test, and i would consider removing .whatever LX from my home | 21:52 |
| holstein | yonyon: you change sessions by choosing it from the menu at login... if by trying to get compiz running, something has been broken, config-wise, you'll need to troubleshoot/undo those changes | 21:53 |
| yonyon | i want to change it to load by default while using autologin | 21:54 |
| holstein | yonyon: it *should* become default | 21:55 |
| holstein | default is the last one you used | 21:55 |
| yonyon | well it doesn't. when i start the netbook lubuntu sessions is loaded. i logout and choose lxde session but it doesnt make it default | 21:56 |
| holstein | yonyon: i would try and work backwards, and look at the changes you have made... i would try a LIVE CD, to confirm what the default bahavior is... i would try a new user accound | 21:57 |
| holstein | account* | 21:57 |
| yonyon | i didnt make any changes and use the installed configurations. all i did is installing compiz on fresh install | 21:59 |
| holstein | yonyon: copmiz is quite a change | 22:05 |
| holstein | compiz* | 22:05 |
| Folklore | xdg-mime seems to be broken | 22:05 |
| holstein | you added a decorator yonyon ? | 22:05 |
| yonyon | no its uses the build in decorator of compiz | 22:05 |
| holstein | yonyon: how about the other user account? | 22:06 |
| holstein | what about the live CD *not* running compiz? | 22:06 |
| yonyon | make a new user accaount for? | 22:07 |
| holstein | yonyon: inside the new user account, all new config files in /home will be created | 22:08 |
| holstein | you can login, and troubleshoot easily if it is a config file specific to your user, or something system-wide | 22:09 |
| holstein | OR, you can try the live CD, log out, choose another session... logout... login with the default session.. note the behavior. | 22:09 |
| yonyon | ok | 22:10 |
| yonyon | for a new user the default(lubuntu) and lxde are different sessions too | 22:13 |
| holstein | yonyon: ? | 22:14 |
| holstein | they are going to be bit different? | 22:15 |
| holstein | whats the issue? | 22:15 |
| holstein | i thought that was the issue... i though when you selected LXDE, and lubuntu session, you got *exactly* the same thing | 22:15 |
| holstein | and that was unwanted? | 22:15 |
| yonyon | that on lubuntu(default session) i cant load compiz, on LXDE session compiz is loaded withoud any problem | 22:16 |
| yonyon | thats the issue | 22:16 |
| holstein | yonyon: i got compiz to work | 22:16 |
| holstein | i tested with compiz --replace or whatever, and then i added that to startup | 22:16 |
| yonyon | compiz --replace vanish the lxpanel, and remove the max,min,close buttons | 22:17 |
| holstein | yonyon: yup, it wasnt trivial | 22:18 |
| yonyon | on LXDE session i dont have this problems | 22:18 |
| holstein | yonyon: so whats the issue? | 22:18 |
| holstein | why not just theme the LXDE session as you wish? | 22:18 |
| yonyon | bro, you know how to change sessions? | 22:19 |
| holstein | yonyon: good luck :) | 22:19 |
| holstein | i would just theme my LXDE session as i want it | 22:19 |
| yonyon | never mind | 22:20 |
| yonyon | tnx for helping | 22:20 |
| rich3 | on ms-windows I could drag my favorite documents to a button bar. I'm not sure how to do this same thing on Lubuntu. I just want some Icons to click on to open my favorite documents. | 23:45 |
| holstein | rich3: you can make a panel, add launchers there... thats probably the most like what you are looking for.. there are plenty of docks... wbar, cairo, avant | 23:47 |
| rich3 | yeah, but i'm used to having the panel hide it'self. | 23:49 |
| holstein | rich3: sure... auto-hide the panel | 23:49 |
| holstein | rich3: if you are a new convert, just take your time... you can literlaly make linux distros look however you want | 23:50 |
| rich3 | IMHO the panel takes up too much space. I'm looking for something like a button, that will bring up the quick launch panel. If I could put the documetns on the LXDE menu i'd be happy | 23:53 |
| holstein | rich3: you can change the size of the panel.. the docks i mention can act like a button | 23:53 |
| holstein | rich3: you can put whatever you want in the LXDE menu | 23:53 |
| holstein | again, i think its a matter of seeing what is out there and easily available to you at first... distro hop a bit... check out some live CD's | 23:54 |
| rich3 | ok. will try the docks. | 23:54 |
| rich3 | already tried xubuntu, lubuntu and ubuntu gnome | 23:54 |
| holstein | i remember i found wbar in Vector linux... i never used vector linux, but ive used wbar a lot | 23:54 |
| holstein | rich3: ubuntu = xubuntu = lubuntu ...etc | 23:55 |
| holstein | you have the same access to the same repositories of packages | 23:55 |
| holstein | they are all able to be customized into each other, or into whatever you choose to customize them into | 23:55 |
| holstein | rich3: theres a neat tool i like to use called kupfer | 23:55 |
| holstein | you hit control+spacebar, and that pulls up a thingy you can just type into... you can type a place, or an application | 23:56 |
| holstein | its a different kind of launcher | 23:56 |
| rich3 | sounds like gnome-do | 23:57 |
| holstein | there are drawers.. different panels | 23:57 |
| holstein | rich3: yeah, its gnome-do pretty much... gnome-do can be docky | 23:57 |
| holstein | kupfer doesnt do the dock... that im aware of | 23:57 |
| rich3 | i really don't know the difference between these things. i'm very happy with gnome-do | 23:58 |
| rich3 | but will try kupfer if you think it will help | 23:58 |
| holstein | sure... install gnome-do in lubuntu then, and enjoy :) | 23:58 |
| holstein | i found kupfer lighter, and i really didnt use the dock mode | 23:58 |
| rich3 | k good | 23:58 |
| holstein | rich3: i have no idea what will "help" | 23:59 |
| holstein | you really just need to explore, and find what works for you | 23:59 |
| rich3 | well, i'll try wbar with lubuntu right now | 23:59 |
| rich3 | don't go anywhere | 23:59 |
| holstein | wbar is nice and light too | 23:59 |
| holstein | i used to have it right in the middle of the screen in mepis running fluxbox | 23:59 |
