[04:00] the computer name [04:01] yes in ubuntu the user name is already entered [04:02] You want the username column to display a user name by default? [04:02] yes [04:03] you can just use gdm, if thats what you are used to [04:04] ok and how do i do that [04:05] 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] [04:06] I found a graphical editor code. "sudo -u gdm gconf-editor" [04:06] IAmNotThatGuy: If it's GUI, remember the gksudo ;) [04:07] You'd have to install GDM and set that as default [04:09] 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] Unit193: ;P [04:10] * IAmNotThatGuy is searching for a perfect link [05:19] how can i change the default session from lubuntu to lxde? [07:18] alright. I set my monitor to a different resolution, but now it's all black...how to set back to correct resoultion? [08:28] Is LXDE supposed to run faster than normal Lubuntu? [08:28] what? [08:28] Lubuntu = Ubuntu + Openbox & LXDE [08:29] Then why are people asking how to switch from Lubuntu to LXDE? [08:29] stupid is as stupid does [08:31] 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] I have tried it on Chrome (which is really bad) and Firefox (which is manageable). [08:31] have you checked your CPU usage during the flash is playing? [08:31] 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. [08:32] yeah its maxing out [08:32] you got your answer [08:32] ... [08:32] thanks for the help. [08:32] resolution of videos has grown [08:32] Flash isn't really all that great, it's always heavy [08:32] amen to that, Unit193 [08:33] so in order to have better flash playback i need to build a new pc? [08:34] wuz yr cpu psychx- [08:34] p4 [08:34] meeh [08:34] haha [08:35] wish I get an euro for everytime I see someone using P4 [08:35] funny [08:35] yeah i mean the issue isn't the os/desktop [08:35] it's flash man [08:35] and the hardware acceleration of flash aint working well either [08:36] right [08:36] 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.. [08:37] talk to adobe about it [08:37] * wxl notes how much he loves zsync [08:37] psychx-: Exactly, flash is just bad [08:38] are there alternatives? [08:38] yes! [08:38] not using flash [08:38] i dont mean for something like youtube or whatever, but in general, if someone were to develop something [08:39] basically what im asking is why would someone develop in flash [08:39] unless there is no alternative [08:39] why would someone develop in .net [08:39] ask me that one [08:39] s/ask/answer [08:39] no idea [08:39] i dont dev lol [08:39] psychx-, you can run on your pentium 4 H264 L5 stuff? [08:39] but wondering if maybe someone here does [08:39] bioterror: yeah [08:40] flash and new games are the only things i cant run [08:40] wxl: It's easier to code GUI [08:40] I bet you cannot [08:40] ok... [08:40] then dont ask me [08:40] go try it yourself [08:40] Unit193: i was looking for more of the knee-jerk reaction :D [08:41] why do i feel like everyone is being condescending towards me in here [08:41] not [08:41] more like condescending against flash [08:42] ^^ That's the word, it's just plain annoying [08:43] 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] hmm [08:43] well what im trying to do is not watch video, more play games and what not [08:44] for example, i play with family of mine that doesnt live near me on facebook poker [08:44] which is flash [08:44] its almost non-playable, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt [08:44] i feel you man, it's just tough [08:44] adobe ain't building for the little guy [08:45] 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] its just rude [08:46] and scumbag adobe over here makin me lag [08:49] but im going ot bed thanks for the help everyone [08:49] shhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssh [08:49] why you gotta be such a dick, bioterror ? ;) [08:50] :( [08:52] well i'm off to bed [08:52] night all [08:53] don't get in trouble ;) [08:55] I'll try to keep him from it ;) [09:00] * micahg would've suggested gnash [09:12] any know how I can add a entry to the right click menu for files?

[10:53] ho provato a seguire varie guide....ma nisba [10:56] ho appena trovato una nuova guida, che dice che l'unica soluzione è ndiswrapper [10:56] !it | Bauz [10:56] Bauz: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [10:57] sorry guys... i didn't realize this was an international channel [11:06] !ru | JohnDoe_71Rus [11:06] JohnDoe_71Rus, please see my private message === zkriesse is now known as zkriesse_away === zkriesse_away is now known as zkriesse [18:59] 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 [19:00] i had to ask some for the name of the network to type into the ssid in the network manager [19:01] any suggestions on a tool to scan for networks without security? [19:02] such as to find the coffee shop network [19:13] extio: maybe its a hidden ssid [19:13] i can find it in windows fine [19:13] i wouldnt lose sleep over it til you have a larger test base [19:14] ive been to this shop before [19:14] its just maybe i dont know how to use lubuntu to search for wireless networks? [19:14] the included tool has found all the ssid's for me so far [19:14] you can try wicd [19:14] or some other network manager that you may be more familiar with [19:15] if i install anew one [19:15] will they clash? [19:15] extio: they'll do whatever you want [19:56] what would cause setup screen to freeze after perssing enter? [19:57] *using a usb stick* [19:58] n00bomatic: graphics card incompatibility? bad iso image... bad usb stick? [19:59] wrong highlight? [19:59] n00bomatic: sorry ;) [19:59] meway: ^ [20:00] maybe could get something from the log if you boot into recovery [20:00] i was assuming you mean when booting the installation media meway , is that the case? [20:00] sorry..my gigabit switch seems to have some issues... [20:01] thats why the reconnecting all the time [20:02] bla >.< [20:02] n00bomatic: i pinged you by accident [20:02] ? [20:56] Can anyone help translate a solution from Ubuntu on forums into Lubuntu? [20:57] david_j_r: feel free to ask your question... if someone can, they will help :) [20:58] OK - thanks! Still trying to get hotkeys to change keyboard layouts in Lubuntu. [20:59] After MUCH scouring of forums, this is about the only "solved" thread it seems: [20:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9460843#post9460843 [21:00] But that's a Gnome solution -- can the equivalent be done in Lubuntu? [21:03] It involves "editing 'apps/metacity/keybinding_commands' in gconf-editor." [21:03] ...and that's a Gnome windows manager... [21:03] So in Lubuntu? [21:30] how can i change the default session from lubuntu to lxde? [21:32] and lubuntu is? [21:33] 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. [21:37] on login screen i have this sessions: defaukt, LXDE, openbox, Lubuntu, Gnome [21:37] Lubuntu and default are the same [21:38] i want to make LXDE as the default login session [21:44] yonyon: lubuntu is running LXDE, so they are going to look very similar, if not the same [21:48] no its not [21:48] yonyon: ? [21:48] lubuntu *is* running LXDE [21:49] on LXD session compiz is running automatically, while in Lubuntu session openbox is refusing to replace with compiz [21:49] they also looks the same [21:49] *doesnt [21:49] yonyon: thats your customization of them though [21:49] they should look similar [21:49] you just choose which ever one you want when you login [21:50] guys [21:50] the cmd to edit mime seems to be broken on lxde [21:50] I really need that to install my app, any suggestions? [21:50] Folklore: start collecting and reporting error messages, and go from there [21:51] holstein, how can i change the sessions? [21:51] lubuntu session refuse to load compiz [21:52] yonyon: i would make another user to test, and i would consider removing .whatever LX from my home [21:53] 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 [21:54] i want to change it to load by default while using autologin [21:55] yonyon: it *should* become default [21:55] default is the last one you used [21:56] 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 [21:57] 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] account* [21:59] i didnt make any changes and use the installed configurations. all i did is installing compiz on fresh install [22:05] yonyon: copmiz is quite a change [22:05] compiz* [22:05] xdg-mime seems to be broken [22:05] you added a decorator yonyon ? [22:05] no its uses the build in decorator of compiz [22:06] yonyon: how about the other user account? [22:06] what about the live CD *not* running compiz? [22:07] make a new user accaount for? [22:08] yonyon: inside the new user account, all new config files in /home will be created [22:09] you can login, and troubleshoot easily if it is a config file specific to your user, or something system-wide [22:09] OR, you can try the live CD, log out, choose another session... logout... login with the default session.. note the behavior. [22:10] ok [22:13] for a new user the default(lubuntu) and lxde are different sessions too [22:14] yonyon: ? [22:15] they are going to be bit different? [22:15] whats the issue? [22:15] i thought that was the issue... i though when you selected LXDE, and lubuntu session, you got *exactly* the same thing [22:15] and that was unwanted? [22:16] that on lubuntu(default session) i cant load compiz, on LXDE session compiz is loaded withoud any problem [22:16] thats the issue [22:16] yonyon: i got compiz to work [22:16] i tested with compiz --replace or whatever, and then i added that to startup [22:17] compiz --replace vanish the lxpanel, and remove the max,min,close buttons [22:18] yonyon: yup, it wasnt trivial [22:18] on LXDE session i dont have this problems [22:18] yonyon: so whats the issue? [22:18] why not just theme the LXDE session as you wish? [22:19] bro, you know how to change sessions? [22:19] yonyon: good luck :) [22:19] i would just theme my LXDE session as i want it [22:20] never mind [22:20] tnx for helping [23:45] 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. [23:47] 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 [23:49] yeah, but i'm used to having the panel hide it'self. [23:49] rich3: sure... auto-hide the panel [23:50] rich3: if you are a new convert, just take your time... you can literlaly make linux distros look however you want [23:53] 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] rich3: you can change the size of the panel.. the docks i mention can act like a button [23:53] rich3: you can put whatever you want in the LXDE menu [23:54] 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] ok. will try the docks. [23:54] already tried xubuntu, lubuntu and ubuntu gnome [23:54] i remember i found wbar in Vector linux... i never used vector linux, but ive used wbar a lot [23:55] rich3: ubuntu = xubuntu = lubuntu ...etc [23:55] you have the same access to the same repositories of packages [23:55] they are all able to be customized into each other, or into whatever you choose to customize them into [23:55] rich3: theres a neat tool i like to use called kupfer [23:56] 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] its a different kind of launcher [23:57] sounds like gnome-do [23:57] there are drawers.. different panels [23:57] rich3: yeah, its gnome-do pretty much... gnome-do can be docky [23:57] kupfer doesnt do the dock... that im aware of [23:58] i really don't know the difference between these things. i'm very happy with gnome-do [23:58] but will try kupfer if you think it will help [23:58] sure... install gnome-do in lubuntu then, and enjoy :) [23:58] i found kupfer lighter, and i really didnt use the dock mode [23:58] k good [23:59] rich3: i have no idea what will "help" [23:59] you really just need to explore, and find what works for you [23:59] well, i'll try wbar with lubuntu right now [23:59] don't go anywhere [23:59] wbar is nice and light too [23:59] i used to have it right in the middle of the screen in mepis running fluxbox
