[00:00] <Flazer> wxl: noob question, but i edit that autostart file using terminal?
[00:00] <wxl> Flazer: or leafpad but you'd need to gksu
[00:00] <wxl> so either lxterminal -> nano/vim/emacs/your editor of choice
[00:00] <wxl> OR
[00:01] <wxl> alt-f2 (run) gksu leafpad
[00:01] <Flazer> been a while since i did that, so hold up, i may ask more noob questions haha
[00:02] <Flazer> i just want to add in that disable touchpad while typing feature
[00:02] <Flazer> cause the netbook trackpad gets in the way
[00:05] <wxl> so are you saying you got it figured out or not?
[00:05] <Flazer> i just edited it in leafpad
[00:06] <Flazer> but how do i test it worked?
[00:06] <wxl> you can run the commands in terminal to test how they work
[00:06] <wxl> synclient [whatever]
[00:15] <wxl> so… basically adding the @synwhatever to autostart makes it start when you login
[00:16] <Flazer> right
[00:16] <Flazer> did that
[00:16] <wxl> so you can see how it works by logging back in :D
[00:16] <Flazer> true true
[00:16] <Flazer> give me a sec
[00:16] <wxl> well doing a restart really
[00:16] <wxl> so holdon
[00:17] <Flazer> k
[00:17] <wxl> if you just type "syndaemon -d -t" in lxterminal or run then you can see the effects right now
[00:17] <wxl> without a restart or anything
[00:17] <Flazer> it didn't do anything in terminal
[00:18] <wxl> didn't say anything back at you or didn't do anything?
[00:19] <Flazer> just another line
[00:19] <wxl> did it change the behavior tho? :D
[00:19] <Flazer> no
[00:19] <Flazer> trackpad still works when typing
[00:21] <Flazer> let me try a reboot
[00:24] <Flazer> nope
[00:24] <Flazer> but now tap to click doesn't work
[00:25] <Flazer> and two finger scrolling doesn't work either lol
[00:58] <wxl> sorry work is keeping me busy here Flazer :(
[01:07] <Flazer> no worries. fixed by removing entry
[04:31] <tony_> freeroute: I did that my question is more of why when my  laptop auto-boot it gets a distorted screen, yet when I bring up the grub menu and select the first option it boots into a normal resolution?

[08:22] <snieznyjezdziec> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[08:22] <snieznyjezdziec> yes i did
[08:22] <bioterror> hah
[08:22] <mysteriousdarren> are you sure the package exists?
[08:22] <bioterror> you have some else where dpkg running
[08:22] <mysteriousdarren> I did that the other day and not everything was installed so the packaged wouldn't install.

[09:23] <paraxxo> anyone here ?
[09:53] <mysteriousdarren> paraxxo: yes? how can we help you?
[10:01] <paraxxo> mysteriousdarren: hi
[10:01] <paraxxo> i want to change the screen resulution on my lubuntu
[10:01] <paraxxo> because its on my netbook so it doesnt match
[10:01] <paraxxo> sorry for my poor english i hope u'll understand
[10:02] <mysteriousdarren> paraxxo: no worries, speak as clearly as you can works.
[10:03] <paraxxo> so i tried to use that xrandr tutorial but i cant find the files it tells me to edit
[10:03] <paraxxo> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html
[10:04] <paraxxo> etc/gdm/Init/Default doesnt exists
[10:06] <paraxxo> mysteriousdarren: what is gedit on lubuntu
[10:08] <mysteriousdarren> paraxxo: your just changing the resolution is all? do you want the GUI or the CLI?
[10:08] <paraxxo> mysteriousdarren: i cant choose 1024x768 on the GUI
[10:09] <paraxxo> i need the netbook resulution
[10:10] <mysteriousdarren> I just go to preferences->monitor settings is the fastest way from the GUI, but does your monitor support the other?
[10:18] <paraxxo> mysteriousdarren: whats the gedit in lubuntu
[10:19] <Unit193> leafpad
[10:19] <Unit193> or if you want terminal, nano
[10:20] <mysteriousdarren> Unit193: can you help me out here, I am helping too many ppl at the same time.
[10:20] <Unit193> You already said GUI is the best way.
[10:21] <Unit193> paraxxo: Did you just try setting at that res for a one time thing first, see if it worked?
[10:22] <paraxxo> Unit193: idk how to
[10:22] <Unit193> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[10:34] <paraxxo> Unit193: http://www.myapitips.com/2011/11/02/how-to-change-monitor-resolution-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[10:34] <paraxxo> does .xprofile exist in lubuntu ?
[10:34] <paraxxo> or it tells me to make one
[10:52] <head_victim> paraxxo: it appears no one here currently knows the answer to your question. If the information isn't easily available elsewhere I'd suggest trying the mailing list for someone who might know more.
[10:55] <head_victim> paraxxo: and I thought the details were in the topic but they're not. The mailing list details are at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
[10:56] <paraxxo> idk how to do that stuff
[10:56] <paraxxo> only need to make my res 1024x600 16:9
[10:56] <mysteriousdarren> paraxxo: try #ubuntu my brain is fried, they would know
[10:57] <head_victim> paraxxo: http://askubuntu.com/questions/95977/set-a-specific-screen-resolution-with-xrandr has half the answer - it would appear making it work on boot isn't solve din that part yet
[10:59] <paraxxo> head_victim: but it doesnt say how to make it 16:9
[11:19] <head_victim> paraxxo: surely changing the resolution in that line to what you want will make it 16:9
[11:21] <head_victim> paraxxo: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html is more step by step, change 1024x768 to whatever resolution you're trying to achieve.
[12:13] <JadedJacob> Good evening lubuntu
[12:21] <paraxxo> JadedJacob: hi
[12:38] <JadedJacob> i fixed a stupid thermal problem
[12:38] <JadedJacob> thank you bios update :}
[12:40] <paraxxo> JadedJacob: do u know how can i see the installed application on lubuntu
[12:40] <paraxxo> in*
[12:40] <paraxxo> and startup application
[12:41] <JadedJacob> more detail please
[12:42] <JadedJacob> you could try asking in #ubuntu it's a lot more active.
[12:44] <JadedJacob> Are you asking about what process/services load during startup?
[13:10] <freeroute> Does anyone ever used the smartmontools package? In particular the badblocks? I'm doing "badblocks -nsv -p2 -o ./badblocks_result /dev/sdc" and it fails to show me the block numbers which are already checked (implicitly specified by -s handle). It's an external USB HDD (eIDE) with an NTSF format.
[18:33] <gdea73> Hey, does anyone know where I can (re) download Lubuntu 10.10 alternate?
[18:33] <gdea73> The download links and torrents provided are broken / do not work, and my localised copy of the ISO is I think corrupted
[18:34] <gdea73> (I've burned it twice, and the boot image is supposedly corrupt each time. I burned the discs slowly from 2 different computers.)
[18:36] <gdea73> phillw: the links on phillw.net are broken as well :/
[18:38] <MrChrisDruif> gdea73; the links on the lubuntu wiki aren't working?
[18:40] <MrChrisDruif> gdea73; is lubuntu 10.10 the only viable option for you?
[18:40] <gdea73> MrChrisDruif: I don't believe so... let me check again
[18:41] <gdea73> I am downloading 11.10 alternate now, I suppose I could use this, I just thought 10.10 would be optimal for slower computers.
[18:41] <MrChrisDruif> Why would you think so gdea73 ?
[18:41] <gdea73> Wasn't there that problem with CPUs that are pre-PIII after a certain release of Ubuntu... ?
[18:42] <gdea73> well I might as well try. I'm going to be installing on my old server, the Pentium 4, first, which could probably run the standard Ubuntu distribution anyway
[18:42] <MrChrisDruif> phillw; you know about that right? ^
[18:42] <gdea73> After which I was to experiment with my PII with 128MB of RAM.
[18:43] <gdea73> Which I figured may run better with a slightly older version. But I may be entirely wrong.
[18:43] <tony_> site:linuxtracker.org lubuntu alternate 10.10
[18:44] <gdea73> I attempted to download the ISO from that torrent but I received no data after a couple of hours.
[18:44] <gdea73> this was the wiki link, which still is broken, I think: http://phillw.net/lubuntu-10.10-alternate.iso
[18:44] <MrChrisDruif> gdea73; "As support for the i386, i486, i586 chipsets has been dropped from both the kernel and GCC by Ubuntu from the 10.10 series onwards, lubuntu will continue to backport to the ppa updates for 10.04. 10.04 Has all the details."
[18:45] <gdea73> MrChrisDruif: cool, that's a relief. I may as well try the newest version on the P2 as well to see how it works. ;)
[18:45] <gdea73> (besides that thing is driving me insane; I'm probably going to take it apart and get rid of the case, replace it with a P3, haha)
[18:47] <Gege71> hello , ... is there any firewall GUI installed on lubuntu ? or should i install it myself ?
[18:54] <MrChrisDruif> !firewall
[18:54] <MrChrisDruif> Gege71; ^
[18:54] <MrChrisDruif> In Lubuntu is hence also no GUI firewall installed Gege71
[19:15] <Gege71> thank you <MrChrisDruif> :)
[19:16] <MrChrisDruif> You're welcome Gege71 ^_^
[19:30] <Gege71> could anyone try this command : ping6 www.yahoo.com
[19:30] <Gege71> i have this result : unknown host
[19:31] <Gege71> strange since http://test-ipv6.com/ says that i have a vald IPv6 adress
[19:48] <MrChrisDruif> Gege71; try "ping -c 6 www.yahoo.com"
[19:48] <MrChrisDruif> I think the error was trying "ping6" instead of "ping -c 6"
[19:49] <Gege71> it works, but -c 6 means "-count 6"
[19:49] <Gege71> not ipv6 :)  right ?
[19:49] <MrChrisDruif> Ah
[19:50] <MrChrisDruif> With me I get "No IPv6 address detected" on the site you mentioned, so I couldn't check
[19:50] <MrChrisDruif> I thought you meant that
[19:51] <Gege71> maybe should you try to make it work ? http://www.worldipv6launch.org/  :)
[19:51] <Gege71> going to diner ... brb
[19:51] <MrChrisDruif> -I interface address
[19:51] <MrChrisDruif>               Set  source address to specified interface address. Argument may
[19:51] <MrChrisDruif>               be numeric IP address or name of device. When pinging IPv6 link-
[19:51] <MrChrisDruif>               local address this option is required.
[19:51] <Gege71> aah
[19:52] <Gege71> i should read carefully the help then
[19:52] <Gege71>  thanks
[19:55] <MrChrisDruif> Gege71; it was in "man ping" not "ping -h"
[20:48] <Gege71> MrChrisDruif> last thing about IPv6 : "ping6 www.google.com" works because google is "ipv6 ready", but not yahoo ... :)
[20:48] <MrChrisDruif> Ah, so yahoo was to blame ^_^
[21:46] <calamari> hi. how can I adjust the size of the fonts used in gnome applications?
[21:48] <MrChrisDruif> calamari; same place all the fonts are changed?
[21:51] <calamari> gues I should file a bug then?
[21:51] <calamari> change the one in the lubuntu dialog and it didn't do anything
[22:02] <kanliot> exactly what did you do and what did you expect?
[22:08] <calamari> I went to Preferences > Customize Look and Feel. Widget tab. At the bottom I clicked "Default font" and changed the settings then clicked OK then clicked Apply. I expected the fonts to change on the taskbar, my programs, etc. Nothing changed. I tried closing my programs and reopening them but that also did not work. Have not tried rebooting.
[22:14] <kanliot> yeah that's a known bug with the taskbar
[22:14] <kanliot> try changing the icon size that's the workaround
[22:14] <kanliot> you have to rightclick to get taskbar properties
[22:15] <calamari> I actually did change the icon size
[22:15] <kanliot> change it enough and the font will change
[22:15] <calamari> however, my other programs aren't the taskbar
[22:15] <kanliot> like i do
[22:15] <calamari> like xchat
[22:15] <kanliot> what other programs
[22:15] <calamari> pidgin
[22:15] <kanliot> xchat has it's own font settings
[22:16] <kanliot> donno pdgin
[22:16] <calamari> the desktop icons
[22:16] <calamari> the file manager
[22:17] <kanliot> file manager should be working after you did look and feel
[22:17] <kanliot> desktop might require you to log out, login
[22:18] <calamari> maybe I should just reboot .. but that shouldn't really be necessary imo.. still I will try it
[22:18] <kanliot> gl
[22:18] <calamari> thanks! :) and thanks for your ideas
