| rich3 | yeah, i didn't even have panels coming from winXp. certainly i didn't have docks. :) | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | you have to install other applications to add that kind of functionality to XP | 00:01 |
| holstein | with linux distros, its all open... you can literally make it your own | 00:01 |
| rich3 | I'm pretty sure I can only use 1 distro at a time ;) | 00:02 |
| holstein | im not suggesting you use more | 00:02 |
| holstein | im suggesting that if you want, you can make the one distro you choose to run look and feel exaclty like you want | 00:03 |
| rich3 | what are you running holstein | 00:03 |
| holstein | i have xubuntu on this machine, 11.10... im mostly running ubuntu 10.04 LTS most places | 00:03 |
| holstein | i have a crunchbang install im enjoying as well | 00:04 |

| craigbass1976 | how mature is the lubuntu software center these days? What are the chances of getting it running in Lucid? I'm about to give my mom a fresh lubuntu lucid install, and I don't know how well I'll be able to talk her through synaptics | 02:38 |
| holstein | craigbass1976: i wouldnt let a software center dictate what distro i install | 02:39 |
| holstein | its fine, but synaptic works... apt... aptitude | 02:39 |
| craigbass1976 | my mother is 60 and not savvy in the least | 02:40 |
| holstein | sure, so you should install what she needs, and lock it down | 02:41 |
| holstein | she shouldnt need to install software | 02:41 |
| holstein | anyways, theres also no reason *not* to run 11.10 | 02:41 |
| craigbass1976 | Is something up with the servers? It took me forever to get the iso last night. | 02:42 |
| holstein | craigbass1976: i usually cancel if i get a slow mirror, and start over right then | 02:43 |
| craigbass1976 | I gave up after two or three and just let 'er rip | 02:44 |

| dustman | lo' | 16:09 |
| dustman | made fresh install of lubuntu | 16:09 |
| dustman | looks very cool | 16:10 |
| dustman | any recommendations for GTK+ TeX editor? | 16:12 |
| uris | lyx | 16:51 |
| dustman | uris: found TeXworks | 17:06 |
| uris | oh, haven't heard about that one | 17:06 |
| dustman | used it on Win machine at one point | 17:06 |
| uris | oh, cool. will give it a test drive :) | 17:06 |
| dustman | resembles TeXShop from Mac | 17:07 |
| dustman | I tried LyX couple of years ago but didn't like it | 17:08 |
| dustman | vim + shell is better imo | 17:08 |
| uris | :) | 17:08 |
| uris | yeah, its much more fun doing it in vim | 17:08 |
| lubiana | hi there, can some1 tell me, why all new windows are spawned behind chromium-browser? | 19:43 |
| catalin | anyone use tango GSM? | 21:40 |
| catalin | GPS sorry | 21:43 |
| david_j_r | Does anyone know the command line one would use with "setxkbmap" to change a keyboard layout from the terminal? | 22:08 |
| Unit193 | Not just setxkbmap us _ | 22:12 |
| david_j_r | hmmm - that looks right Unit193 | 22:12 |
| david_j_r | which means I've done something wrong somewhere else :) | 22:13 |
| Unit193 | I tested with setxkbmap de :P | 22:13 |
| david_j_r | I'm trying to use this to get kbd switching attached to hotkeys: http://code.google.com/p/obkey/ | 22:13 |
| david_j_r | but I'm obviously doing something wrong | 22:13 |
| david_j_r | Can use it to launch, e.g., leafpad, but when I try to get it to switch a kbd, ... nothing. | 22:14 |
| david_j_r | Obkey looks like something that ought to be in Lubuntu, imo! | 22:14 |
| Unit193 | Except for | 22:15 |
| Unit193 | !info obkey | 22:15 |
| ubot5 | Package obkey does not exist in natty | 22:15 |
| david_j_r | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1883847 | 22:16 |
| david_j_r | I don't understand "!info obkey" - can you explain? | 22:17 |
| Unit193 | In order for it to be in Lubuntu by default, it has to be in the Ubuntu repos (That checked if it was) | 22:17 |
| Unit193 | !info firefox oneiric | 22:17 |
| ubot5 | 'oneiric' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, jaunty, jaunty-backports, jaunty-proposed, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports, maverick-proposed, medibuntu, natty, natty-backports, natty-proposed, partner, stable, testing, unstable | 22:17 |
| Unit193 | Wow... | 22:17 |
| david_j_r | turned up something interesting, it seems | 22:18 |
| Unit193 | NO, just needs to be fixed as it doesn't have Oneiric (latest) enabled | 22:18 |
| Unit193 | (Sorry for caps) | 22:18 |
| Unit193 | !info firefox | 22:19 |
| ubot5 | firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.3 (natty), package size 14838 kB, installed size 29608 kB | 22:19 |
| david_j_r | when I type "!info" into terminal, I get a bash message "event not found" | 22:19 |
| david_j_r | But about obkey :) all I meant a moment ago, was that Lubuntu needs an easy way to do keybinding. | 22:20 |
| david_j_r | Doesn't seem straightforward at the moment. | 22:20 |
| mark76 | Does LXDE have a menu editor yet? | 22:22 |
| david_j_r | not a gui one | 22:23 |
| mark76 | There's a project for someone | 22:23 |
| david_j_r | there's a number of forum threads mentioning that | 22:23 |
| david_j_r | and maybe some "wish-list" type things in the big Lubuntu 12.04 thread | 22:24 |
| mark76 | I know the Xfce people were peeved that they lost menu editing capabilities | 22:27 |
| Unit193 | Xfce currently works with alacarta (the one that's spelled correctly) | 22:28 |
| mark76 | Yeah, but they used to have their own before 4.6 | 22:30 |
| david_j_r | Btw - just got Obkey to change kbd's for me - I must have been using a bad hotkey combination before. | 22:30 |
| mark76 | Not sure what happened to it | 22:30 |

| Unit193 | lalala: Do you have a question? | 23:24 |
| lalala | :) yes, hope someone can help me | 23:24 |
| lalala | im thinking about bying an intel classmate 3 | 23:24 |
| lalala | it has only 1gb ram and 1,6ghz processor | 23:25 |
| lalala | but its has a touchscreen | 23:25 |
| lalala | i'd like to run realtime audio processing stuff on it, so i need the ram ... thats how i came to lubuntu | 23:25 |
| lalala | is it easyly possible to set up the touchscreen in lubuntu? | 23:26 |
| lalala | i found drivers on eturbotouch.com | 23:27 |
| lalala | but they are for ubuntu and X | 23:27 |
| lalala | or linux kernel ... | 23:27 |
| lalala | i found in puredyne a library called tslib (for touchscreens) | 23:29 |
| Unit193 | I haven't used touchscreen, but Lubuntu does use the same core as Ubuntu | 23:29 |
| lalala | but ubuntu uses X window and lubuntu not? | 23:31 |
| lalala | the drivers are for x window | 23:31 |
| Unit193 | Yes, Lubuntu uses X | 23:31 |
| lalala | LXDE is then something different, no window manager? | 23:33 |
| Unit193 | It's a window manager, running on the X window system. Are you talking about XFWM/Xfce? | 23:34 |
| xsaidx | guys my lame laptop makes so much noice | 23:36 |
| xsaidx | noise | 23:36 |
| xsaidx | wht wud that come from ? | 23:36 |
| lalala | @ xsaidx: fan? | 23:37 |
| xsaidx | Unit193: any ide ? | 23:37 |
| Unit193 | Well, I'd think maybe fan, you could try dusting it out (spray can) | 23:38 |
| xsaidx | lalala: yeh i guess so i tried to open it but coudnt make it | 23:38 |
| lalala | ok im quite a newbi ... sorry what is the difference between lubuntu and ubuntu? if a device is supported in ubuntu its also supported in lubuntu? is just the packaging different? can i pack my own lubuntu version to add for example the touchscreenlibrary? | 23:38 |
| lalala | @xsaid: i read once about the tool fancontrol | 23:39 |
| lalala | @xsaidx: maybe this helps? | 23:40 |
| xsaidx | lalala: Unit193 yeh i ned that thnigy i guess | 23:40 |
| xsaidx | lalala: lubuntu its based on ubuntu but it uses diffrent desktop environement which is lxde whiche lighter a lot then gnome | 23:41 |
| lalala | ah cool slowly i get it ... so the difference is ubuntu -gnome lubuntu-lxde peripheral devices are controlled by what ?? | 23:43 |
| lalala | by kernel? X window? Gnome/ lxde?? | 23:44 |
| lalala | in xubuntu touchscreens seem to work ... where can i see the content of the lubuntu package? | 23:51 |
| xsaidx | lalala: well im jsut like i dont kon muxh but what i kno the kernel talks to your hardwar ok | 23:59 |
| xsaidx | so the chief its the kernel | 23:59 |
