[15:17] <aiuto> buongiorno a tuttiù
[15:17] <aiuto> tutti*
[15:18] <aiuto> avrei bisogno di un aiuto sono passato da ubuntu a lubuntu visto che è un pc vecchiotto ma ora volevo sapere come fare per eliminare tutto quello che non fa parte di lubuntu dal pc per renderlo pulito
[15:21] <aiuto> ho sbagliato canale o forse nessuno parla italiano ?
[15:22] <MrChrisDruif> aiuto; this is an English channel, lubuntu doesn't have an italiano channel
[15:23] <aiuto> ah ok thanks, then try using the translator to ask for help
[15:24] <aiuto> I need help I switched from ubuntu to Lubuntu as it is an old-fashioned PC but now I wanted to know how to eliminate all that is not part of Lubuntu from PC to make it clean
[15:25] <MrChrisDruif> aiuto; get the mini-iso and install "lubuntu-core". You are talking about a fresh install right?
[15:26] <aiuto> not really a terminal I gave the command apt-get install Lubuntu-desktop and now I do not know what to do to eliminate the rest
[15:26] <aiuto> ubuntu 11.10
[15:26] <MrChrisDruif> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall
[15:27] <MrChrisDruif> Easiest way is to reinstall it completely, otherwise remove ALL lubuntu packages and install lubuntu-core instead of lubuntu-desktop
[15:29] <aiuto> ok if you advise me so then drain and gate-core Lubuntu everything else, I wanted to solve without format but if it is the best solution then I have to do it
[15:30] <aiuto> terminal can not do it?
[15:30] <MrChrisDruif> aiuto; I said EASIEST, not per se the best
[15:31] <aiuto> I can install Lubuntu-core from the terminal?
[15:31] <phillw> aiuto: he only way I can think of is to use the lubuntu-desktop meta package
[15:32] <MrChrisDruif> phillw; he wants just the core packages of lubuntu
[15:32] <phillw> never tried to un-install the desktop. I can fire up a test VM if you don't mind waiting a while
[15:33] <aiuto> is what I did but I wanted to clean up your computer to remove gnome and unity
[15:33] <phillw> MrChrisDruif: he installed lubuntu-desktop and now wants rid of it. That is the only way I can think of.
[15:33] <aiuto> my computer* sorry for my english
[15:34] <MrChrisDruif> Ow, you want to remove all the muck from gnome/unity?
[15:34] <phillw> aiuto: you could use a variation of the psycho-cats tutorial...
[15:35] <aiuto> yes only lubuntu
[15:35] <phillw> aiuto: did you just have minimal install on, or did you have another flavour of ubuntu on before?
[15:36] <MrChrisDruif> He switched from normal Ubuntu to Lubuntu it seems
[15:37] <aiuto> I had installed Ubuntu 11.10 and I gave the command to the terminal apt-get install desktop-Lubuntu
[15:37] <aiuto> yes
[15:37] <phillw> aiuto: use the 'pure-lxde' at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde  just change the end bit from && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop  to && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-core
[15:38] <phillw> that will rid you of gnome stuff etc & just put on lubuntu-core.
[15:39] <phillw> else, you can leave it as is and get the default lubuntu-desktop.
[15:40] <aiuto> I'll be back for a moment the work is calling me tnk
[16:35] <venik212> the lubuntu panel is misbehaving-- is it broken?  the launch apps panel got stuck on the right, and I want it on the left of the bottom panel.
[16:36] <venik212> I also have trouble with the R COmmander-- it works perfectly on the same computer if I log in with Unity, but does not get beyond the terminal if I log in in Lubuntu
[16:44] <stachurs1i> hello, i have always had a weird thing with dual monitor in lubuntu where i had to have a .config script with an xrandr command,
[16:44] <stachurs1i> but after the last update, it stopped working and i have to execute it manually after booting into the desktop environment finishes,
[16:45] <stachurs1i> but stuff is still messed up...any time a window gains focus it moves itself to an area that straddles both monitors. that's extremely frustrating
[16:49] <phillw> venik212: do you mean the 'menu' icon?
[17:05] <venik212> phil-- I mean the icons of the apps on the panel are all on the right side of the panel, on the bottom
[17:08] <phillw> venik212: I'm sorry, I know how to fix this, but am in a QA meeting - will you still be about in 1 hour if no-one else comes on to help?
[17:15] <venik212> gphil--reat-- I'll stay on line
[17:16] <MrChrisDruif> venik212; what is the issue?
[17:20] <phillw> MrChrisDruif: (16:35:15) venik212: the lubuntu panel is misbehaving-- is it broken?  the launch apps panel got stuck on the right, and I want it on the left of the bottom panel.  - he's gotten them all herded onto the RHS :)
[17:22] <venik212> I tried to add a launch panel on the left side, but failed
[17:23] <venik212> In general I am finding more and more issues with Lubuntu-- R Commander does not work from the menu, the touchpad app on my netbook does not work properly, and other glitches
[17:23] <venik212> I loved it, initially, but I might have to return to the disgusting Unity
[17:24] <MrChrisDruif> venik212; you don't have to resort to that just when things don't work properly ootb
[17:24] <MrChrisDruif> A launch panel on the left?
[17:24] <MrChrisDruif> Something like an app bar to start apps?
[17:24] <venik212> lubuntu-software-center is another example-- it "works" from the terminal, but not from the menu.  And even then, after it installs something, the apps basket is not emptied.  Alpha all the way, I guess
[17:25] <MrChrisDruif> venik212; it's not mainstream for a reason
[17:25] <venik212> I can tell.. ;-)
[17:25] <venik212> so How do I get the favorite appls to be on the left side of the bottom panel?
[17:25]  * MrChrisDruif doesn't remember if he had lubuntu installed on this laptop
[17:26] <venik212> and why the Alsa mixer works on one computer with Lubuntu 64 and not on another?
[17:26] <venik212> (different sound cards)
[17:27] <MrChrisDruif> Maybe it's due to the different sound cars
[17:27] <MrChrisDruif> !sound
[17:27] <MrChrisDruif> You might be able to find the solution on any of those pages
[17:27] <MrChrisDruif> For the sound that is
[17:27] <venik212> ubot-- that works in Ubuntu, but not in Lubuntu
[17:28] <venik212> the sound preferences are not accessible from the sound indicator
[17:29] <MrChrisDruif> Aren't the commands terminal based?
[17:44] <venik212> installing the gnome-alsa-mixer gave me access to the control I needed
[17:46] <MrChrisDruif> Good to hear
[17:46] <MrChrisDruif> Anyhow, phillw will be here in about 15 minutes when his meeting ends. He'll be able to help you further
[17:58] <smile> AmberJ: hi! :)
[18:00] <phillw> hi venik212`soz for the delay, meetings are always at just the wrong time :P
[18:00] <venik212> thanks for helping
[18:01] <venik212> so How do I get the favorite appls to be on the left side of the bottom panel?
[18:01] <phillw> okies, what I propose is that we use my taskbar as a template and I'll go through the various settings with you. Once we have got a 'resonable' one up, we can look at modifiying it.
[18:02] <venik212> k
[18:03] <phillw> right-click the task bar & select add/remove Panel Items
[18:03] <venik212> and?
[18:04] <phillw> Select Panel Applets
[18:04] <venik212> ok
[18:04] <phillw> 1st one should be Menu
[18:04] <venik212> it is
[18:04] <phillw> next should be Application Launch Bar
[18:05] <phillw> which is where we will adding you favourite apps later., followed by a spacer.
[18:05] <venik212> thanks-- I can take it from here.  It works
[18:06] <venik212> can you also help with Skype?  I installed it but it does not work
[18:06] <phillw> okies, it is not hard, just takes a bit of getting used to.
[18:06] <phillw> venik212: if you have now got control of your sound inputs and outputs via gnome-alsa-mixer you should be able to set up your input & output devices.
[18:07] <phillw> I cannot find my head-set, so am not much help on skype atm. I have used it okay with lubuntu in the past, though.
[18:08] <venik212> I did-- once I installed the gnome alsa mixer, the sound works fine, but not in skype
[18:08] <phillw> I found the tricky part was setting up the mic as the input device alongside the dvd device sorted mine out from memory.
[18:09] <venik212> when I try the test call, I do not hear anything
[18:09] <phillw> does music play okay?
[18:09] <venik212> yes
[18:09] <venik212> and the mics work
[18:11] <venik212> do u know how to get the ICONS ONLY in the windows task bar?
[18:11] <venik212> I know I have amny questions... ;-)
[18:13] <phillw> venik212: sorry, no.
[18:14] <venik212> got to run-- be back later.  Thanks for the help
[18:14] <wxl> shoot
[18:14] <wxl> i know that one
[18:15] <phillw> wxl: ẁould you pop it onto FAQ/Guides please :)
[18:16] <wxl> well fyi right click panel > click Panel Preferences > click Panel Applets tab > click Task Bar (Window List) > click Edit button > check Icons only
[18:18] <smile> doei! :)
[18:18] <phillw> cheers wxl
[19:38] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[19:39] <kosaidpo> can i shut down my machine using open box keybinding ??
[19:48] <MrChrisDruif> kosaidpo; yes
[19:49] <MrChrisDruif> kosaidpo; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#I_want_to_bind_the_power-button_to_change_computer_state.2C_how_do_I_do_it.3F
[19:51] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: very nice but how about shut it down directly
[19:52] <MrChrisDruif> Euhm...does "shutdown now" work in terminal to shutdown?
[19:53] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: i can use halt tho
[19:53] <MrChrisDruif> halt?
[19:53] <kosaidpo> can i bind it ??
[19:53] <Neosano> wait a second..
[19:53] <kosaidpo> sudo halt  it turns off the system
[19:53] <Neosano> but you'll have to type your password :\
[19:53] <MrChrisDruif> Yeah, but I think you'd need to enter your password?
[19:54] <kosaidpo> yeh true
[19:54] <kosaidpo> it wont be good tho
[19:54] <Neosano> maybe you can try this?
[19:54] <Neosano> #HALT LUBUNTU
[19:54] <Neosano> dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
[19:55] <Neosano> not my idea
[19:55] <Neosano> took it from here https://bugs.launchpad.net/kupfer/+bug/628940
[19:55] <kosaidpo> Neosano: yeh but what keys wuold i hit ?
[19:56] <Neosano> you just have to look for a way to make a shortcut
[19:56] <Neosano> google helps
[19:56] <Neosano> I use kupfer for such things
[19:56] <kosaidpo> Neosano: i have kupfer too
[19:57] <kosaidpo> how can i set it to do such thing ?
[19:57] <Neosano> oh
[19:57] <MrChrisDruif> Maybe he can replace that the execute in the keybind I just send?
[19:57] <Neosano> if we are talking about password way
[19:57] <Neosano> then it would be
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop</command>
[19:58] <MrChrisDruif> ??
[19:58] <Neosano> ctrl+space, press . , type 'sudo shutdown -h now' , press tab, run in terminal, press ctrl+space, tab, add trigger
[19:59] <Neosano> instead of sudo shutdown -h now you can try the command above ^
[20:00] <kosaidpo> Neosano: where sould i put that command ?
[20:00] <Neosano> err
[20:00] <Neosano> told you
[20:00] <Neosano> 21:58:45
[20:00] <Neosano> ctrl+space, press DOT, paste command there ;)
[20:00] <Neosano> and so on
[20:07] <Neosano> kosaidpo, did it work? :)
[20:11] <Neosano> seems like a yes
[20:18] <AmberJ> Neosano, What if he lost connection? :P
[20:19] <Neosano> :D
[20:20] <MrChrisDruif> That is a side-effect of shutting down your system...strange phenomenon, I know
[20:21] <kosaidpo> Neosano: please i got kicked off
[20:21] <kosaidpo> please how can i st that command ?
[20:23] <Neosano> kosaidpo, http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer/help/plugin-triggers.html
[20:23] <kosaidpo> Neosano: thanks
[20:24] <Neosano> using advanced stuff in kupfer is quite useful
[20:24] <Neosano> but anyway I already solved it for ya:
 ctrl+space, press . , type 'sudo shutdown -h now' , press tab, run in terminal, press ctrl+space, tab, add trigger
[20:25] <Neosano> if you fail with kupfer you can try this
[20:25] <Neosano> http://travellingfroggy.info/computing_old/index.php?article4/
[20:25] <kosaidpo> Neosano: thanks
[20:26] <Neosano> or even this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1422861
[21:21] <AmberJ> Is there a simple pdf reader that supports highlighting text?
[23:48] <SystemParadox> evening. I'm trying to install the fglrx driver but the additional drivers GUI is blank. I've installed the fglrx package manually, but it's not loading the module (it's still using radeon) and amdcccle isn't in the PATH. Any ideas? THanks
