| GTRsdk | hi | 03:38 |
|---|---|---|
| GTRsdk | what is the package name of the sound applet in the lxde bar? | 03:39 |
| GTRsdk | it allows people ot change the volume | 03:42 |
| GTRsdk | I found out how to add it | 03:46 |
| bkm | i guess it's called Volume Control? it would be interesting to know where that lives and what it is really called | 03:47 |
| GTRsdk | I think it might be in normal lxde | 03:48 |
| GTRsdk | I just right clicked on lxpanel and clicked on add/remove panel items then clicked on add then added Volume Control | 03:48 |
| Kaleidoscope | Hello, I'm haveing a problem | 06:46 |
| Kaleidoscope | In PCManFM, I can right click and use wine to open programs, But if I try to right click and select q4wine to open programs, Nothing happens | 06:46 |
| Ascavasaion | Hello there. I have a very old machine. It has suddenly taken to just restarting. From being cold I switch it on, go into CMOS and within 30 or so seconds it just reboots. And it continues to do this all the time. Any ideas or pointers? | 07:19 |
| micahg | check RAM, motherboard, power supply | 07:23 |
| Unit193 | Dust, and overheating on the CPU | 07:24 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | I believe that you will get an error that the machine got over heated and restarted. Even two beep sounds will come. It happens to me once a day ;D | 07:28 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Checking RAM will be my first ofption as suggested by micahg. However, I will go for a live USB first as there is a possibility that the HDD is not working in the right way | 07:29 |
| Ascavasaion | Thank you guys. | 07:36 |
| Unit193 | Could also check ##hardware I'd think, but I've never been there | 07:36 |

| venik212 | I use Lubuntu, and wanted to run a sh script, but sh is not available... | 17:29 |
| venik212 | so the question is: how do I execute my script? I tried sh scriptname.sh and bash scriptname.sh, but neither worked | 17:40 |
| venik212 | I made it executable, and clicked on it, but that also failed | 17:41 |
| Myrtti | so what do you actually get when you open up a terminal? | 17:42 |
| smile4ever | How do I theme my LXDE menu? :) | 17:47 |
| bkm | venik212: if you type `which sh` (no quotes), what is the result? | 18:06 |

| AlanBell | what kind of bluetooth adapter do you think you have? | 19:06 |
| AlanBell | is it a USB dongle thing? | 19:06 |
| bioterror | is it a usb dongle? | 19:06 |

| bioterror | if not, can you provide us your laptops manufacturer and model | 19:06 |
| bioterror | could help us a little bit | 19:07 |
| downbeam | ya it's a toshiba satelite l305d | 19:08 |

| downbeam | thanks | 19:10 |
| Myrtti | so what info did lsusb print out? | 19:11 |
| Myrtti | or did it? | 19:11 |
| AlanBell | "the only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it doesn't have bluetooth" was one of the review comments there | 19:11 |
| bioterror | and toshiba says no antenna ;) | 19:12 |
| downbeam | no its not that kind | 19:12 |
| downbeam | alan | 19:12 |

| bioterror | No Bluetooth (No Antenna) | 19:16 |
| downbeam | i c no antenna | 19:19 |
| downbeam | um how do i just update a driver? | 19:20 |
| AlanBell | downbeam: I suspect if you get yourself a USB bluetooth adapter (cost less than 5 of most major currency units) it will just work | 19:21 |
| downbeam | cool thank you | 19:22 |
| downbeam | um how do i just update a driver? | 19:25 |
| bioterror | which driver? | 19:26 |
| AmberJ | Hello | 19:29 |
| AmberJ | 'catfish' (to search files) is nice. But, is there a lightweight program that runs in background and keeps an index of all files/dirs on filesystem for quick searching? | 19:30 |
| smile4ever | doei :) | 19:34 |
| AlanBell | !info slocate | 19:37 |
| ubot5 | Package slocate does not exist in oneiric | 19:37 |
| AlanBell | !info mlocate | 19:38 |
| ubot5 | mlocate (source: mlocate): quickly find files on the filesystem based on their name. In component main, is standard. Version 0.23.1-1ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 49 kB, installed size 216 kB | 19:38 |
| AmberJ | Thanks AlanBell :) | 19:41 |
| AmberJ | Also, has anyone used Ubuntu One on Lubuntu 11.10? I hope it just works... | 19:41 |
| AmberJ | I guess I need to install ubuntuone-installer (?) | 19:44 |

| AmberJ | oops, got disconnected. Can anyone please copy/paste channel log if anyone answered my question related to Ubuntu One? | 19:54 |
| AmberJ | It'll take some time before #lubuntu "recent" logs appear on http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ :( | 19:57 |
| holstein | AmberJ: nah... nothing.. the webinterface will work of course | 19:57 |
| holstein | i would just try it | 19:57 |
| AmberJ | Right, thanks holstein :) | 19:57 |
| holstein | i would expect it to be similar to http://askubuntu.com/questions/82978/how-can-i-run-ubuntu-one-on-xubuntu | 19:58 |
| AmberJ | yes...this one also seems useful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/36117/ubuntu-one-on-lubuntu | 20:05 |

| benoliver999 | I can't get some USB speakers to work. | 20:47 |
| pmatulis | phillw: nice | 20:48 |
| benoliver999 | I've switched to them in Alsamixer | 20:48 |
| benoliver999 | They just come up as PCM | 20:48 |
| benoliver999 | Bizarrely, the buttons on them (mute, vol up, vol down) affect the laptop speakers. | 20:49 |
| bkm | rebooting made openbox not consume 80-90% of the cpu. i wonder what i could have done to find what was driving it so hard | 21:07 |
| bioterror | fir example look into top | 21:08 |
| bioterror | oh sorry | 21:08 |
| bioterror | it doesnt solve the problem why openbox took 80-90% of CPU | 21:08 |
| bioterror | actually rather hard to findout why certain application might want to take so much CPU at the current time | 21:10 |

| Cynic411 | hi | 21:55 |
| Cynic411 | any1 here? | 21:56 |
| bioterror | about 60 persons if we drop bot off | 21:58 |
| Cynic411 | ah there is life :) | 21:59 |
| bioterror | less or more | 21:59 |
| bioterror | how can we help you? | 21:59 |
| Cynic411 | see what you did there. you been using lubuntu long? | 21:59 |
| bioterror | long enough | 21:59 |
| Cynic411 | cool. if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could I ask a question? Excluding the previous one, naturally. | 22:00 |
| bioterror | !ask | Cynic411 | 22:01 |
| ubot5 | Cynic411: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 22:01 |
| Cynic411 | ah cool, like having your own teacher. !ask does the current lubuntu version utilise my dual core processor? | 22:02 |
| bioterror | yes it will utilize | 22:03 |
| bioterror | if you say in terminal: uname -a | 22:03 |
| Cynic411 | so no tweaking? | 22:03 |
| bioterror | it will have three letters SMP | 22:03 |
| bioterror | Symmetric Multi Processing | 22:03 |
| bioterror | if you open terminal and type: top | 22:03 |
| bioterror | and then press number 1 button, you will see processors and the usage of the current ones | 22:04 |
| Cynic411 | thats really cool :D | 22:04 |
| Cynic411 | thanks for that :) i'm trying to milk out a little more out of my computer to run PCSX2 emulator. Guess I should just get a new PC | 22:05 |
| bioterror | anything else in mind? | 22:06 |
| Cynic411 | no but thank you :) you've been really helpful :) | 22:06 |
| Cynic411 | have a good evening :) | 22:07 |
| pcroque | Thinking of getting a second monitor. Is Lubuntu (11.10) suitable for dual monitor setups or should I be thinking about another distro? | 22:14 |
| bioterror | same drivers and same applications on every distro | 22:14 |
| pcroque | I had heard something about lxpanel not playing nice with dual monitor setups. | 22:15 |
| bioterror | is there someone to confirm this?-) | 22:17 |
| pcroque | Well...I can bring the TV into the office, and hook it up as a second monitor and see how it works. | 22:19 |
| pcroque | I really want to stick with Lubuntu. | 22:20 |
| AmberJ | Let me hijack your question, pcroque :D Can I simply add another VGA card (on a PCI slot) for a dual monitor setup? | 22:26 |
| bioterror | yes | 22:27 |
| AmberJ | I mean my motherboard has a VGA slot for my current/primary monitor. And if I another VGA video card (on a PCI slot), will that help me to do a dual monitor setup? | 22:27 |
| Unit193 | yes | 22:28 |
| Unit193 | If you don't like the panel, try another one | 22:28 |
| AmberJ | My local computer salesman (stupid!) said that I need a graphics card (or, AGP?) to do a dual video monitor setup | 22:28 |
| bioterror | ofcourse he said | 22:28 |
| bioterror | his job is to sell stuff to you | 22:29 |
| AmberJ | lol yea...true | 22:29 |
| AmberJ | Thanks bioterror :) | 22:30 |
| AmberJ | Can you link me to a "setup dual monitor on lubuntu/linux" webpage? | 22:30 |
| bioterror | you should have monitor setup -thingie on your menu | 22:33 |
| bioterror | *in your menu :D | 22:33 |
| * AmberJ hopes that 1 LCD & 1 CRT will be more productive | 22:33 | |
| AmberJ | Found it, thanks bioterror again | 22:33 |
| AmberJ | That too when native resolution for both monitors is very different | 22:34 |
| bioterror | if that doesnt help, then some xrand commands might do the trick | 22:35 |
| AmberJ | LCD is 1600x900....while CRT is 1024x768, iirc. | 22:35 |
| AmberJ | noted, 'xrand' | 22:35 |
| bioterror | xrandr | 22:36 |
| bioterror | someone eats letters from my sentences | 22:36 |
| AmberJ | your fingers :P | 22:36 |
| AmberJ | bioterror, Will I be able to use 1 VGA out on motherboard and 1 VGA out on VGA card (on PCI)? | 22:41 |
| AmberJ | Or, do I need a VGA card with two VGA out ? | 22:41 |
| AmberJ | I'm asking this because of this text snippet (source: wikipedia): http://pastebin.com/zRygQMxK | 22:42 |
| bioterror | you can use combinations | 22:43 |
| AmberJ | ok | 22:44 |
| AmberJ | Does anyone has recommendation for small and quick image editor? | 22:45 |
| AmberJ | GIMP takes time to load (plus, it is a bit confusing). | 22:45 |
| bioterror | GIMP is best what you can get | 22:45 |
| bioterror | on windows they have paint.net | 22:45 |
| AmberJ | I mostly need to cut/paste/annotate/draw_basic_figures functionality | 22:45 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: Seen arandr? | 22:49 |
| pcroque | So, I'm trying a dual monitor setup now (Lubuntu 11.10, latest nvidia driver, xinerama). Works well, but lxpanel just makes one long panel across both screens. Any ideas on how to fix? | 23:07 |
| pcroque | tint2 seems to recognize the dual setup and make 2 panels, but I like lxpanel. | 23:08 |
