| Abbevik | Hello, I'm trying to activate lubuntu-desktop to be my default desktop environment on my Ubuntu 11.10 installment, but it keeps going back to gnome/unity every time I reboot. Do you have any pointers? Thanks | 11:23 |
| Abbevik | I think I found an answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62833/how-do-i-change-the-default-session-for-when-using-auto-logins | 11:27 |
| shomon | hi, does anyone know how to get a big cursor in lubuntu, assistive technology stylee? | 23:08 |
| shomon | no one around I guess :) | 23:14 |
| wxl | shomon: i betcha phillw knows | 23:15 |
| wxl | he's our accessibility expert | 23:16 |
| shomon | ah that's nice... :) | 23:16 |
| shomon | well I managed to get a package by just installing gnome desktop and waiting a few hours :) | 23:16 |
| wxl | ugh | 23:16 |
| shomon | I just don't know which one it is.. so as to avoid that | 23:16 |
| shomon | anyway, irc is non linear, so I'll stay here for a bit and see if phillw checks in at some point :) | 23:17 |
| phillw | shomon: I'm not sure if the 'big' arrow is yet available. I know it is on the TODO list. | 23:17 |
| shomon | hi phillw | 23:17 |
| shomon | ah, do you know if I can just add it from another package? | 23:17 |
| shomon | we were thinking you might be able to just hack something in by switching a cursor image.. but I guess there's more to it than that | 23:18 |
| wxl | i betcha that's possible | 23:18 |
| wxl | lemme dig | 23:18 |
| shomon | thanks :) | 23:18 |
| phillw | ho shomon, you possibly could, but lxappearance is being worked on. could you ask on the mailing list as to if it is yet available, that way you remind the devs & they will reply :) | 23:19 |
| shomon | that'd be good :) | 23:19 |
| shomon | could you point me to the mailing list please? | 23:20 |
| shomon | it'll do wonders for a new lubuntu user with sight problems :) | 23:21 |
| phillw | shomon: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ContactUs | 23:22 |
| shomon | thanks ! | 23:22 |
| phillw | has those details, please also consider joining at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/GettingInvolved | 23:22 |
| wxl | preferences > customize look and feel > mouse cursor tab | 23:22 |
| wxl | has an option to change it | 23:22 |
| wxl | let me see if i can find a big cursor | 23:23 |
| phillw | wxl: is correct, I am an advocate of accessibility being set into lubuntu and it is a part of our dev to enable it more fully. | 23:23 |
| pederindi | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/big-cursor/3.8 | 23:23 |
| shomon | great :) | 23:23 |
| wxl | phillw: agreed but i'm looking at it from a support view too actually trying to take care of shomon :) | 23:24 |
| wxl | year get the tarball there shomon | 23:24 |
| shomon | so it's just a question of installing that in lubuntu? | 23:25 |
| pederindi | but I think that doesn't work with 11.04 | 23:25 |
| shomon | ah, I see, it's just a tarball so far sorry | 23:25 |
| wxl | wow seems to be crashing on that tho | 23:26 |
| shomon | hmm back in 5 and I'll give it a try | 23:26 |
| phillw | shomon: wxl https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/Accessibility | 23:26 |
| phillw | We really do want to do it... just not enough people on dev :( | 23:27 |
| wxl | wow may have to submit a bug on this | 23:29 |
| wxl | unless someone else knows another cursor theme? | 23:29 |
| wxl | i come up with nothing on box look | 23:29 |
| wxl | there *IS* a "bigcursor" package | 23:32 |
| pederindi | I'm trying to access lxde.org to get accessibility info but seems to be down | 23:32 |
| phillw | wxl: with 12.04 there is the ability to import mouse cursor themes, just none yet developed. | 23:32 |
| * wxl is on 12.04 | 23:33 | |
| wxl | i seem to remember that same location in customize look and feel on 11.10 tho | 23:33 |
| * phillw wonders if AlanBell has been giving a talk on accessibilty on the ubuntu-classroom today? ... oh, he has :) | 23:33 | |
| wxl | brb | 23:34 |
| AlanBell | it was fun :) | 23:34 |
| * Silverlion waves at AlanBell | 23:35 | |
| phillw | AlanBell: as lx can import the standard *tar.gz and *tar.bz2 do you know of a theme we can try out? | 23:36 |
| phillw | AlanBell: I caught the start of it, but I will be reading all the sessions from the logs, they are a mine of information for those who do support :) | 23:37 |
| AlanBell | theme for what? | 23:38 |
| wxl | i am in 12.04 so i don't knwo if that changes anything but installing big-cursor worked out just fine tho it did require a logout for it to take effect. | 23:39 |
| phillw | wxl: care to give instructions & I'll follow them | 23:39 |
| wxl | it is not a change that happens in openbox as openbox --restart / --reconfigure does not fix it | 23:39 |
| wxl | phillw: | 23:39 |
| wxl | 1. sudo apt-get install big-cursor | 23:40 |
| wxl | 2. put in your password :) | 23:40 |
| wxl | 3. logout | 23:40 |
| wxl | 4. log back in | 23:40 |
| wxl | 5. big cursor!!!! | 23:40 |
| pederindi | so after logout appear "big-cursor" in "box look" of "customize look and feel"? | 23:40 |
| wxl | pederindi: no, you'll just end up with big-cursor | 23:41 |
| wxl | if you look in customize look and feel, there's no apparent change | 23:41 |
| pederindi | aha, if you want the other cursor you should remove his package | 23:41 |
| wxl | yeah | 23:41 |
| wxl | kinda funky | 23:41 |
| wxl | they should just make it a normal cursor theme | 23:41 |
| phillw | wxl: fail :( | 23:41 |
| wxl | phillw: in what way? | 23:42 |
| phillw | it's okay, I've had a partial update, 12.04 is not a happy bunny atm. it generated a crash report. | 23:43 |
| wxl | hm | 23:43 |
| wxl | 12.04 has been pretty much flawless for me | 23:43 |
| phillw | "Problem already know" | 23:43 |
| wxl | brb | 23:43 |
| phillw | *known* | 23:43 |
| Sillion | hi | 23:45 |
| MrChrisDruif | Aloha Sillion | 23:46 |
| Sillion | I ve reinstalled lubuntu via netinstall and i miss some software | 23:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | Sillion; what commands did you use? | 23:47 |
| Sillion | what's the name of the disk manager which is used to mount.umount, formating, etc? | 23:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | Did you install lubuntu-core or lubuntu-desktop? | 23:47 |
| Sillion | MrChrisDruif, i do not rememeber , what do you mean by command? | 23:47 |
| Sillion | both i guess | 23:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | You installed with the netinstall, that is the all command installation right? | 23:48 |
| MrChrisDruif | Aka mini-ISO? | 23:48 |
| Sillion | maybe just core.. do not remember it was the 4th or 5th time i was reinstalling :P | 23:48 |
| Sillion | netinstall | 23:48 |
| MrChrisDruif | phillw; do you know what a "netinstall" is? I've never done those | 23:49 |
| wxl | phillw: crash on re-login? | 23:49 |
| pederindi | netinstall i think is network install | 23:49 |
| wxl | 'tis | 23:49 |
| pederindi | so start with core, and download-install from internet ? | 23:49 |
| Sillion | MrChrisDruif, what i want to know is the name of the diskmanager to reinstall it | 23:49 |
| wxl | basically the netinstall disc has next to nothing on it, so all the packages are downloaded at install time rather than copied from the disk | 23:50 |
| wxl | it's really a matter of semantics | 23:50 |
| Sillion | that's it wxl | 23:50 |
| wxl | Sillion: you mean pcmanfm/ | 23:50 |
| Sillion | noi | 23:50 |
| Sillion | no | 23:50 |
| pederindi | gparted | 23:50 |
| Sillion | the soft which is use to format moun, unmount, etc | 23:50 |
| wxl | oh | 23:50 |
| wxl | DUH | 23:50 |
| Sillion | d | 23:50 |
| phillw | MrChrisDruif: yes, it is an option available via a mini install. you can pull all the files from a local server on your LAN which is a lot faster than using internet, or you can choose internet https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server_and_network_installations | 23:51 |
| wxl | Sillion: it's not gparted | 23:51 |
| wxl | (not for lubuntu) | 23:51 |
| wxl | it's palimpset | 23:52 |
| Sillion | pederindi, no | 23:52 |
| Sillion | palimpset ill go and see | 23:52 |
| wxl | palimpsest | 23:52 |
| wxl | sorry | 23:52 |
| wxl | weird name :/ | 23:52 |
| Sillion | ok | 23:52 |
| pederindi | aa... | 23:52 |
| wxl | that's default for lubuntu | 23:53 |
| pederindi | but is a mix of pcman and gparted | 23:53 |
| pederindi | aha, dependencies | 23:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | wxl; gnome-disk-utility? | 23:53 |
| Sillion | yes that it cool | 23:53 |
| Sillion | thanks | 23:53 |
| wxl | no not gnome!!! | 23:53 |
| wxl | darn you and your gnome people! | 23:53 |
| wxl | :) | 23:53 |
| wxl | alright i'm getting out of here | 23:53 |
| wxl | now you guys behave and keep the gnome off of Sillion's system | 23:54 |
| Sillion | lol | 23:54 |
| phillw | well, if they want to drag in half of the worlds content of gnome for a simple utility.... we cannot forbid it :) | 23:54 |
| jmichaelx | so i just installed lubuntu 11.10on an older laptop, and am unable to change the screen resolution correctly... when i change it, the panel is missing, etc... any suggestions? | 23:58 |
| cousteau | when/if Ubuntu adopts Wayland instead of X, will Lubuntu have to use that too or will it have only Wayland? If I understood it right, Wayland is for having a more direct way for composition, which I doubt Lubuntu is interested in | 23:59 |
