| pmatulis | seems it's not possible to remove chromium-browser without ripping out half the system. normal? | 15:02 |
| jmcardle | hey | 15:05 |
| jmcardle | I'm doing development on a Lubuntu box and have been using XForms to this point. Wondering what graphical toolkit others use. | 15:05 |
| JuJuBee | I just downloaded and tried to boot 11.10 32 bit and after selecting Try Lubuntu, all I get is the cli with a prompt, how do I start GUI? | 15:46 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: what video card is in the machine ? | 15:54 |
| JuJuBee | OK. startx worked and desktop is up. Video card is Intel 82845G with 128MB strange | 15:56 |
| ikonia | may need to create an xorg.conf if it's not detected ok | 16:00 |
| JuJuBee | I think Im gonna install to HD and check it out... Nothing on HD that I need... | 16:01 |
| phillw | JuJuBee: instead of startx use start lubuntu, that will give you the correct DE :) | 16:47 |
| phillw | pmatulis: are you getting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveLubuntuDesktop ? | 16:49 |
| pip__ | has anybody managed to get rtl 8187 wireless adapter working properly? | 17:05 |
| pip__ | in a reasonably simple way that is | 17:06 |
| pmatulis | phillw: no. apt warns it will explicitly remove about 50 packages. i'm not on that system now to give a better answer | 17:10 |
| phillw | pmatulis: okies, that looks like a bug. If you report it I'll try to duplicate it in VM to confirm it. | 17:12 |
| pmatulis | phillw: acknowledged. i'll look at it tomorrow where i'll have access to the affected machine | 17:13 |
| Unit193 | I take it you can't pastebin it? | 17:15 |
| pmatulis | Unit193: what? | 17:16 |
| Unit193 | Might be easier to wait, but you should be able to use !pastebinit to pastebin from teh CLI | 17:17 |
| pmatulis | Unit193: pastebin what? | 17:19 |
| Unit193 | The 50 packages it tries to remove when you purge chromium | 17:20 |
| pmatulis | Unit193: i'm pretty sure i said i don't have access to my machine | 17:20 |
| Unit193 | Heh, wasn't sure if you had SSH access. Nevermind | 17:21 |
| pmatulis | no | 17:22 |

| calamari | hi | 19:39 |
| calamari | does anyone happen to know what package the gnome application preferences program is in? I installed links2 and now I can't get my programs to go back to firefox.. I tried Preferences > Preferred Applications (libfm-pref-apps), but it doesn't seem to work | 19:42 |
| holstein | maybe update-alternatives --config x-www-browser ?? | 19:44 |
| calamari | perfect, thanks! | 19:45 |
| micahg | anything using x-www-browser is broke and should be using xdg-open or some equivalent | 20:00 |
| calamari | micahg: then xchat and pidgin are broken | 20:00 |
| micahg | which release? | 20:01 |
| calamari | although pidgin let me choose my browser manually as well.. 11.10 | 20:01 |
| micahg | yes, it has that option | 20:01 |
| calamari | I couldn't find that option in xchat although maybe I just missed it or it isn't in the gui | 20:02 |
| micahg | calamari: could you file bugs please, x-www-browser doesn't DTRT when a browser is set at the system level in the preferences | 20:02 |
| calamari | they'll know what DTRT means? | 20:02 |
| calamari | (I don't, lol) | 20:03 |
| jmarsden | calamari: Do The Right Thing | 20:03 |
| calamari | ah, thanks | 20:03 |
| calamari | so if I'm understanding you, that workaround isn't really the right fix? | 20:04 |
| calamari | micahg: I'm using a ppa for pidgin, so maybe I shouldn't file a bug report on that one? | 20:13 |

| lukas-grusel | Dear channel-member, I used two displays with lubuntu and now the second screen is not connected. how can I reach the windows, which are still on the other screen (screen extension)? | 22:20 |
| calamari | lukas-grusel: are you still there? | 22:34 |
| lukas-grusel | yes | 22:35 |
| lukas-grusel | calamari, do you know any solution? | 22:35 |
| calamari | lukas-grusel: can you increase the resolution of your main monitor enough to reach them? | 22:35 |
| lukas-grusel | no, my main monitor (laptop) is at its native resolution | 22:36 |
| calamari | I'm assuming you can't plug the 2nd monitor back in? | 22:37 |
| calamari | I know there used to be a way in X to have a virtual screen.. back when we had low res 640x480 and such | 22:37 |
| calamari | just trying to find it | 22:37 |
| lukas-grusel | calamari, i had the second screen at university and i am now with my laptop alone | 22:38 |
| lukas-grusel | and i arrived here with my laptop sleeping. so the screen was attatched before the laptop fell asleep. | 22:40 |
| calamari | I'm assuming in the monistor settings you unchecked the 2nd monitor | 22:42 |
| lukas-grusel | when i start amdcccle (ati control), the second monitor is not displayed any more. so i did not had to uncheck it. | 22:43 |
| calamari | lukas-grusel: I mean Preferences > Monitor Settings | 22:44 |
| lukas-grusel | calamari, there is also only one available | 22:45 |
| calamari | ah I see | 22:47 |
| calamari | sorry I am having trouble figuring it out.. the pages I'm seeing are talking about modifying xorg.conf but I don't even have that file | 22:48 |
| lukas-grusel | ok, i understand. | 22:49 |
| lukas-grusel | when i edit xorg, i have to restart the display manager | 22:50 |
| calamari | oh that's a good point too | 22:50 |
| calamari | can you maximize the window? | 22:51 |
| lukas-grusel | calamari, no, it maximises on the not existing screen | 22:55 |
| lukas-grusel | i can not reach by mouse there, but i see the application in the task bar | 22:55 |
| calamari | well that's strange | 22:56 |
| calamari | I may have found something where we can move windows with the keyboard | 22:57 |
| lukas-grusel | calamari, without restarting the xsession? | 23:14 |
| calamari | lukas-grusel: thru openbox | 23:16 |
| calamari | lukas-grusel: http://urukrama.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/my-openbox-keybindings/ | 23:16 |
| calamari | lukas-grusel: however that page doesn't actually tell you how to do it, because whatever service he used ate his rc.xml file | 23:17 |
| calamari | oh here we go http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings and http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions | 23:18 |
| phillw | http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#SendToDesktop | 23:23 |
| phillw | calamari: that has the command from there I *think* you need? | 23:24 |
| calamari | hmm it doesn't seem to work.. Reconfigure may not be enough to activate rc.xml | 23:24 |
| phillw | but I've only glanced at it, so it may not be what is needed. | 23:25 |
| calamari | phillw: oh maybe.. I was trying Move.. but maybe I just picked a bad combo | 23:25 |
| calamari | phillw: this is for lukas-grusel | 23:25 |
| phillw | I saw, as I cannot replicate it, and not heard of it happening I'm not sure how to progress either. | 23:26 |
| calamari | this is what I tried but didn't seem to have any effect <keybind key="C-A-m"><action name="Move"/></keybind> | 23:26 |
| calamari | was hoping that'd put the window into move mode | 23:26 |
| calamari | then he could use the arrows to move it over to his screen (hopefully) | 23:27 |
| phillw | maybe the send to desktop one would work as it cycles through the windows? | 23:28 |
| phillw | But, I've never played with those commands so am not sure if they'd be of any help :/ | 23:29 |
| calamari | well I'm not sure why it doesn't activate the move via my keybinding.. evn if it was ultimately incapable of fixing his problem | 23:30 |
| calamari | ahh maybe I've been changing the wrong file | 23:36 |
| calamari | oh cool, got it | 23:37 |
| calamari | lukas-grusel: add this line to ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml | 23:38 |
| calamari | <keybind key="C-A-m"><action name="Move"/></keybind> | 23:38 |
| calamari | then run: openbox --reconfigure | 23:38 |
| calamari | first try it on a window you can see (push ctrl-alt-m) | 23:39 |
| calamari | oh, you need to put that line somewhere between <keyboard> </keyboard>.. sorry there | 23:43 |
