[04:20] <reflexrg> how do I edit launchers in lxde so I can have it open different firefox profiles?
[15:02] <pmatulis> seems it's not possible to remove chromium-browser without ripping out half the system.  normal?
[15:05] <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.
[15:46] <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?
[15:54] <ikonia> JuJuBee: what video card is in the machine ?
[15:56] <JuJuBee> OK.  startx worked and desktop is up.  Video card is Intel 82845G  with 128MB  strange
[16:00] <ikonia> may need to create an xorg.conf if it's not detected ok
[16:01] <JuJuBee> I think Im gonna install to HD and check it out...  Nothing on HD that I need...
[16:47] <phillw> JuJuBee: instead of startx use start lubuntu, that will give you the correct DE :)
[16:49] <phillw> pmatulis: are you getting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveLubuntuDesktop ?
[17:05] <pip__> has anybody managed to get rtl 8187 wireless adapter working properly?
[17:06] <pip__> in a reasonably simple way that is
[17:10] <pmatulis> phillw: no.  apt warns it will explicitly remove about 50 packages.  i'm not on that system now to give a better answer
[17:12] <phillw> pmatulis:  okies, that looks like a bug. If you report it I'll try to duplicate it in VM to confirm it.
[17:13] <pmatulis> phillw: acknowledged.  i'll look at it tomorrow where i'll have access to the affected machine
[17:15] <Unit193> I take it you can't pastebin it?
[17:16] <pmatulis> Unit193: what?
[17:17] <Unit193> Might be easier to wait, but you should be able to use !pastebinit to pastebin from teh CLI
[17:19] <pmatulis> Unit193: pastebin what?
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <Unit193> Heh, wasn't sure if you had SSH access. Nevermind
[17:22] <pmatulis> no
[19:22] <PereZ> ..
[19:39] <calamari> hi
[19:42] <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
[19:44] <holstein> maybe update-alternatives --config x-www-browser ??
[19:45] <calamari> perfect, thanks!
[20:00] <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
[20:01] <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
[20:02] <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?
[20:03] <calamari> (I don't, lol)
[20:03] <jmarsden> calamari: Do The Right Thing
[20:03] <calamari> ah, thanks
[20:04] <calamari> so if I'm understanding you, that workaround isn't really the right fix?
[20:13] <calamari> micahg: I'm using a ppa for pidgin, so maybe I shouldn't file a bug report on that one?
[22:20] <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)?
[22:34] <calamari> lukas-grusel: are you still there?
[22:35] <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?
[22:36] <lukas-grusel> no, my main monitor (laptop) is at its native resolution
[22:37] <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
[22:38] <lukas-grusel> calamari, i had the second screen at university and i am now with my laptop alone
[22:40] <lukas-grusel> and i arrived here with my laptop sleeping. so the screen was attatched before the laptop fell asleep.
[22:42] <calamari> I'm assuming in the monistor settings you unchecked the 2nd monitor
[22:43] <lukas-grusel> when i start amdcccle (ati control), the second monitor is not displayed any more. so i did not had to uncheck it.
[22:44] <calamari> lukas-grusel: I mean Preferences > Monitor Settings
[22:45] <lukas-grusel> calamari, there is also only one available
[22:47] <calamari> ah I see
[22:48] <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
[22:49] <lukas-grusel> ok, i understand.
[22:50] <lukas-grusel> when i edit xorg, i have to restart the display manager
[22:50] <calamari> oh that's a good point too
[22:51] <calamari> can you maximize the window?
[22:55] <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
[22:56] <calamari> well that's strange
[22:57] <calamari> I may have found something where we can move windows with the keyboard
[23:14] <lukas-grusel> calamari, without restarting the xsession?
[23:16] <calamari> lukas-grusel: thru openbox
[23:16] <calamari> lukas-grusel: http://urukrama.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/my-openbox-keybindings/
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <calamari> oh here we go http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings  and http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions
[23:23] <phillw> http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#SendToDesktop
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <calamari> then he could use the arrows to move it over to his screen (hopefully)
[23:28] <phillw> maybe the send to desktop one would work as it cycles through the windows?
[23:29] <phillw> But, I've never played with those commands so am not sure if they'd be of any help :/
[23:30] <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
[23:36] <calamari> ahh maybe I've been changing the wrong file
[23:37] <calamari> oh cool, got it
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <calamari> first try it on a window you can see (push ctrl-alt-m)
[23:43] <calamari> oh, you need to put that line somewhere between <keyboard> </keyboard>.. sorry there
