| bioterror | okay | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| eaburns | Thanks for your help | 00:00 |
| eaburns | I am sure that I will eventually find something to get it working :) | 00:00 |
| bioterror | we are almost there | 00:00 |
| bioterror | I assume you have some special keys mapped? | 00:01 |
| eaburns | Yeah | 00:01 |
| Neosano | eaburns, the easiest way to set something to startup is "sudo leafpad /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart" | 00:05 |
| bioterror | that's just completely stupid | 00:05 |
| Neosano | why? it works. | 00:05 |
| bioterror | first sudo and graphical editor | 00:06 |
| Neosano | ? and why not? O_o | 00:06 |
| bioterror | second system wide configuration for a user specific settings | 00:06 |
| Neosano | wait.. what's wrong with the first point? | 00:06 |
| Unit193 | !gksudo | 00:06 |
| ubot5 | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:06 |
| Unit193 | NEVER use sudo leafpad! | 00:07 |
| Neosano | Why is it an issue? | 00:08 |
| Neosano | Well, to be perfectly honest, most of the time it isn't. | 00:08 |
| Neosano | hehe | 00:08 |
| Unit193 | Read the link | 00:08 |
| Neosano | that's from the link | 00:09 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, and the rest? | 00:09 |
| Neosano | oh, you mean this thing? "Bottom line: most of the time when you use sudo for graphical applications, it's fine. Some of the time, though, it is not fine, and is, in fact, extremely bad. " | 00:11 |
| Neosano | I think leafpad is too simple to do something bad :) | 00:12 |
| eaburns | OK, I got it working | 00:12 |
| eaburns | The trick seems to be that the desktop file doesn't expand ~ | 00:12 |
| eaburns | I changed it to use an absolute path to /home/eaburns/.Xmodmap and it worked just fine | 00:12 |
| eaburns | Thanks for all of the help | 00:13 |
| Neosano | and why can't we have a gui for autostart in Lubuntu? | 00:13 |
| bioterror | Neosano, becouse you have not coded that yet | 00:13 |
| Unit193 | Simple, you can use it, just don't recommend it, and don't come here for help if you break something with it :) | 00:13 |
| bioterror | niice | 00:14 |
| bioterror | I had first PAE problem | 00:14 |
| bioterror | maybe I should post to forums | 00:14 |
| Unit193 | Wow, must be one old compy | 00:16 |
| bioterror | Stinkpad T42 :D | 00:16 |
| bioterror | it has a pentium m | 00:17 |
| Unit193 | Thankfully the P-M I have works | 00:17 |
| bioterror | so | 00:21 |
| bioterror | what next :D | 00:21 |
| Unit193 | Debian :P | 00:22 |
| Unit193 | Or in your case, arch | 00:22 |
| Unit193 | But, offtopic time | 00:22 |
| nullaresnata | Good day all. | 00:37 |
| nullaresnata | I don't have sound on my pidgin. Anyone know why? | 00:37 |
| nullaresnata | Well, better this way: is there a way to get sound on pidgin with Lubuntu? | 00:38 |
| phillw | nullaresnata: tools --> Preferences --> Sound ? | 00:40 |
| phillw | I have mine all disabled. | 00:41 |
| nullaresnata | Done that already - still mute. | 00:41 |
| phillw | nullaresnata: if you send me an email to phillw@ubuntu.com reminding me, I'll have a play with it tomorrow for you. I'm just about off to bed! | 00:42 |
| Unit193 | nullaresnata: Sound works otherwise? | 00:43 |
| bioterror | correct sound theme?-) | 00:53 |
| bioterror | I've seen that happening | 00:53 |
| nullaresnata | Found a way. :) | 00:53 |
| nullaresnata | Chose the method by command and directed the sound through aplay. | 00:54 |
| nullaresnata | Donw. | 00:54 |
| nullaresnata | *done | 00:54 |
| nullaresnata | Thanks anyway, you pointed out in the right direction. | 00:54 |
| phillw | nullaresnata: good to hear... one less task for me :) | 00:54 |
| Unit193 | Great! Glad you got it fixed | 00:54 |
| Unit193 | nullaresnata: So this makes sound ;) | 00:55 |

| david_j_r | For a small CLI utility, which is preferable for install: apt-get? or Synaptic Package Mgr? Or does it matter? | 15:51 |
| AmberJ | Synaptic is NOT CLI, david_j_r | 15:54 |
| AmberJ | small...well, go with apt-get (but it really depends on what you want)... | 15:54 |
| david_j_r | yes - understood - but I can get a prog that IS used only on CLI - | 15:54 |
| david_j_r | sorry if that was confusing! | 15:54 |
| AmberJ | apt-get is CLI, aptitude is CUI/TUI, synaptic is GUI | 15:54 |
| david_j_r | hashalot is the prog in question | 15:54 |
| david_j_r | I can install it either from apt-get, or get it from Synaptic | 15:55 |
| AmberJ | yes. you can install it using both... | 15:55 |
| david_j_r | and no difference doing so? | 15:55 |
| david_j_r | e.g., when it comes to upgrades? | 15:55 |
| AmberJ | No difference. | 15:56 |
| david_j_r | thanks! | 15:56 |
| david_j_r | I'm hazy on what happens with those modes of installation -- as you can see! | 15:56 |
| david_j_r | I'll just go for apt-get, then, with terminal already running. | 15:57 |
| AmberJ | Both are same. Synaptic is ALTERNATIVE graphical interface to apt-get. | 15:57 |
| david_j_r | Right! That's the missing link for me. Sometimes the simple things are the hardest to find out. ;) | 15:58 |
| david_j_r | Thanks again. | 15:58 |
| AmberJ | No problems :) | 15:59 |
| kop | is there an lxde user available here ? | 18:03 |
| holstein | kop: feel free and just ask away! | 18:03 |
| nothingspecial | one would hope so kop :) | 18:04 |
| kop | base install of 10.04 lubuntu w/nvidia driver/kernel | 18:04 |
| kop | after enabling the second screen the menu fonts are so small that they can not be read with a magnifying glass | 18:04 |
| kop | I don't have enough experience with the menu to know where the look and feel tab is | 18:05 |
| kop | until I get a command line option or someone that regularly uses the desktop can point me to the right selections this desktop is useless | 18:05 |
| smile | kop: use 11.10 instead. :) | 18:07 |
| holstein | well, you can go back to one screen, and poke around in the GUI for a bit... but... | 18:07 |
| bioterror | kop, is there a reason to use 10.04? | 18:09 |
| kop | smile, not an option snd_oss module is deprecated past 10.10 | 18:09 |
| bioterror | there we go | 18:09 |
| smile | kop: why you want oss? :) | 18:09 |
| kop | just don't get me started on PA | 18:10 |
| holstein | kop: try it live though... alsa only is likely what you want | 18:10 |
| kop | doesn't work live as the module isn't in the L'ubuntu kernel options | 18:11 |
| holstein | maybe theres a backport... or another kernel option | 18:12 |
| kop | what I need is how to get to look and feel through a gui whose fonts have been reduced to less than 1/32" | 18:12 |
| holstein | anyways... you should be able to do either... use that sound device without pulse in 11.10, or change the fonlt size | 18:13 |
| holstein | font* | 18:13 |
| kop | emu10k1x | 18:13 |
| kop | get used to it I jus thin I cn tpye | 18:13 |
| kop | and just before anyone suspects I'm "new" I've had my login here since "openprojects" | 18:15 |
| kop | so where is look and feel located on a default install ? | 18:15 |
| kop | this will have to be ~start > how many up > how many up> and fortunately I have a screen shot of the look and feel dialog box | 18:18 |
| kop | krap I have a .18 dpi monitor and the fonts arn't big enough to read | 18:18 |
| smile | MrChrisDruif: hoi! :) | 18:37 |
| kop | so where is look and feel located on a default install ? | 18:45 |
| MrChrisDruif | Thanks kop | 18:46 |
| kop | I'll need nearly braille instructions because the fonts are unreadable | 18:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | According to http://lxde.org/lxappearance_change_look_feel the app should be lxappearance | 18:46 |
| kop | I've seen the dialog box in screen shots but lxappearance doesn't resemble it at all | 18:48 |
| MrChrisDruif | Can you make a printscreen of it? | 18:48 |
| kop | http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DQA25fY03Tk/Tkbk2dPqgVI/AAAAAAAABiQ/yB4bBUBkWbk/s1600/Screenshot-2.png | 18:48 |
| kop | actually no as it's on an unusable desktop | 18:49 |
| kop | the fonts are less than 1/32" tall | 18:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | The PrtSc button doesn't work? | 18:50 |
| kop | sure but I can't log in to anything I can't see | 18:50 |
| kop | not been able to set up xchat etc | 18:51 |
| kop | after enabling the second screen the menu fonts are so small that they can not be read with a magnifying glass | 18:52 |
| kop | am I making any sense ? | 18:52 |
| kop | imagine trying to read 4pt font on a 1024x768 screen | 18:53 |
| * MrChrisDruif is having dinner while helping you | 18:53 | |
| kop | appreciated | 18:54 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright, but the window is looking kinda similar to the link you send me? | 18:55 |
| kop | no I cant get there from here | 18:56 |
| kop | need directions | 18:56 |
| MrChrisDruif | Does the terminal open when you press Ctrl+Alt+T? | 18:57 |
| kop | start > settings ? (I can see that one ) > how many from the top or bottom .... | 18:57 |
| kop | yes but nothing in the lxappearance resembles the .png I posted :-/ | 18:58 |
| kop | am I wrong ver , release ? | 18:58 |
| kop | <----lost | 18:58 |
| MrChrisDruif | which version of Lubuntu are you running? | 18:59 |
| * kop is wishing for a command line option for ssh | 19:00 | |
| kop | 10.04 | 19:00 |
| Unit193 | What about switching to a TTY? | 19:00 |
| kop | need kernel modules that arn't included in 10.10 on | 19:00 |
| MrChrisDruif | !TTY | 19:01 |
| ubot5 | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 19:01 |
| MrChrisDruif | And Unit193; that'll probably won't work because lxappearance is a graphical app? | 19:01 |
| Unit193 | MrChrisDruif: It won't show up there, no. You can either fix it CLI style, or DISPLAY=:0 lxappearance (Should pick it up) | 19:02 |
| MrChrisDruif | Does "lxappearance &" open the lxappearance app? | 19:03 |
| MrChrisDruif | That might be a useful command | 19:03 |
| MrChrisDruif | kop; ^ | 19:04 |
| MrChrisDruif | kop; you still with us? | 19:06 |
| kop | it does but dia'g box fonts are as the rest | 19:06 |
| kop | <---- the day interrupts here also | 19:07 |
| icanhasdearia | What is the path used in this distribution for storing game data files? e.g. for gentoo linux each game has its own directory in /usr/share/games/. I'm collecting notes for each distro so that I can collect a list of all possible paths to make sure to look in each of them for a particular game. | 19:09 |
| MrChrisDruif | icanhasdearia; try searching that folder (aka I don't know) | 19:11 |
| Unit193 | icanhasdearia: Depends on the game, but assault cube has them in ~/.assaultcube_v1.04/ for example | 19:11 |
| MrChrisDruif | kop; so lxappearance is open now? | 19:12 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright, maybe they all store them in ~/ ? | 19:12 |
| MrChrisDruif | As hidden folders? | 19:12 |
| smile | bye :) | 19:12 |
| Unit193 | MrChrisDruif: Aye | 19:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | Unit193; where are the settings saved from lxappearance? Maybe it's easier to just open that file with nano and edit it? | 19:13 |
| psesq | games installed from repos are in /usr/share/games too | 19:14 |
| MrChrisDruif | Unit193; is it on lubuntu-rc.xml? | 19:14 |
| psesq | and those, which are not installed from deb - in home, as hidden ;) | 19:15 |
| psesq | in my case | 19:15 |
| Unit193 | psesq: Data files | 19:16 |
| * MrChrisDruif isn't on Lubuntu to test | 19:16 | |
| Unit193 | MrChrisDruif: It's got fonts in there,a ye | 19:17 |
| psesq | anyway, i don't think it depends on distro, but game? | 19:18 |
| pat | I've found this: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/install-lubuntu-software-center.html but I'm on Lucid and it doesnt' seem to be working. Is there a way to install the software center on lububtu lucid? | 19:19 |
| MrChrisDruif | Unit193; http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=73909.0 | 19:19 |
| Unit193 | The software center isn't ready anyway | 19:20 |
| Unit193 | MrChrisDruif: On that page, just haven't read it | 19:20 |
| MrChrisDruif | pat; you'd need to download the source files and compile it yourself. It isn't without reason that it isn't available for ALL Lubuntu versions | 19:20 |
| pat | Bah. I'm looking for an easy way mymother can install software. You can browse by category in the sofwre center, unless there's a way to do it in synaptics GUI too | 19:21 |
| MrChrisDruif | pat; in the tree on the left side you can also scroll categories | 19:22 |
| MrChrisDruif | Not as intuitive like LSC or USC etc... | 19:22 |
| * MrChrisDruif doesn't know if you can hide technical packages in Synaptic | 19:22 | |
| pat | I'll just NOT tell her how to do it and punch a hole through her firewall instead so I can get in and do it. | 19:24 |
| pat | Thanks folks. | 19:24 |

| corvus_ | Anyone have any experience with xfce-screenshooter in Lubuntu? | 20:21 |
| corvus_ | Or any screenshot utility in Lubuntu, for that matter? | 20:22 |
| Unit193 | scrot is the default | 20:23 |
| AmberJ | corvus_, Print Screen key saves to ~/ | 20:23 |
| corvus_ | scrot is terminal based, yes? | 20:24 |
| Unit193 | Yep (and read what Amber said) | 20:24 |
| corvus_ | All right, I will check. Thanks. | 20:25 |
| AmberJ | yes, but it is bind to "Print Screen" key in Lubuntu. | 20:25 |
| corvus_ | Tried taking a screenshot of my desktop. Couldn't find the image in ~/ | 20:26 |
| corvus_ | ? | 20:33 |
| AmberJ | Ah...he left. I got disconnected :( | 20:39 |
