| vandal- | whats the best browser for pc with Pentium IV 1,7 GHz and 512 MB RAM wiht lubuntu? chrome or firefox hang up for several seconds rather often | 00:49 |
| Viman | vandal: try seamonkey | 00:50 |
| Unit193 | Seamonkey?? | 00:52 |
| Viman | yes, seamonkey. Unless you wanna go skinny, then Midori/Dillo | 00:53 |
| stlsaint | or even iceweasel | 00:53 |
| vandal- | testing seamonkey :) | 00:53 |
| Unit193 | Arora isn't bad, but not really worked on. | 00:54 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: That's firefox. :P | 00:54 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: yes but its also less resource hoggish from ff | 00:54 |
| Unit193 | Hmmm.... All that's changed should be the branding, unless you're using Debian Testing. | 00:57 |
| Viman | and I thought Arora was Firefox's Alpha Channel? | 00:57 |
| Unit193 | There's firefox beta, Aurora, and minefield. | 00:58 |
| Viman | touche | 00:59 |
| Viman | vandal-: what you think about Seamonkey? | 01:00 |
| Unit193 | It's a suite, it's heavy. :P | 01:01 |
| vandal- | all i can say after 5 min is that it works way better than chrome/ff. i'll try other browsers too. | 01:03 |
| Unit193 | Arora isn't being worked on right now, but it's not too bad. | 01:03 |
| vandal- | i love midoris extremely simple interface | 01:06 |
| vandal- | but it displays pretty weird fonts - some wide, others thin | 01:07 |
| vandal- | i'll stay with midori for a while, thanks for help :) | 01:12 |
| guessst | is this channel right for questions about lubuntu 12.04? | 01:35 |
| Unit193 | Support? No, that'd be #ubuntu+1 | 01:36 |
| guessst | Unit193: ok, thank you | 01:37 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: hrm, would #ubuntu+1 really be the best place for support of a os that uses a different environment | 02:04 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: Yes, Kubuntu and Xubuntu also feed pangolin into there. | 02:05 |
| stlsaint | strange. Doesnt make much sense. I want to know about kubuntu so i go to a ubuntu chat?? | 02:10 |
| Unit193 | No, that's the dev version. | 02:12 |
| hometow1 | i have a old computer,512RAM,celeon 2.1G,can it run lubuntu? | 02:12 |
| Unit193 | Should be, just don't expect a brand new computer speed. | 02:13 |
| hometow1 | yesterday,i just install ubuntu11.10,too slowly,haha. | 02:17 |
| hometow1 | sorry for my broken english. | 02:18 |
| Unit193 | Is there a language you know better? They may have a local help channel. | 02:20 |
| hometow1_ | I just installed ubuntu11.10,but it looks slowly.Can i change unity to xfce? how? thx. | 05:14 |
| holstein | hometow1_: this is for lubuntu... LXDE + ubuntu... you can install XFCE though however you manage packages | 05:15 |
| holstein | you can install LXDE... you could go with xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop... its up to you :) | 05:16 |
| hometow1_ | Is lubuntu use LXDE to control the windows? sorry,i think i want to say change to LXDE... | 05:18 |
| holstein | hometow1_: yup | 05:19 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install lubuntu or lubuntu-desktop | 05:19 |
| holstein | or just search for LXDE and/or lubuntu where ever you manage packages :) | 05:19 |
| hometow1_ | thank you. | 05:20 |
| hometow1_ | i will try. | 05:20 |

| sacarde | is possible to install firefox10 on lubuntu10.04 ? | 11:02 |
| CXIV | Lubuntu 11.10 is great! | 11:21 |
| head_victim | sacarde: yes it's possible it's just a matter of how easy it is | 11:28 |
| head_victim | CXIV: we like it :) | 11:29 |
| CXIV | Earlier versions was quite unpolished | 11:31 |
| CXIV | Were :D | 11:31 |
| Myrtti | sacarde: as far as I know, 10.04 has firefox 10 | 11:32 |
| head_victim | Myrtti: mine is on 9.0.1 | 11:32 |

| Myrtti | with the caveat that I don't have a lucid system with me here :-| | 11:34 |
| Myrtti | I can't check myself | 11:34 |
| head_victim | My main machine tracks LTS's, my VM tracks +1 | 11:34 |

| head_victim | sacarde: if you have problems getting firefox 10 then I'd suggest using the ppa available here - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa | 11:42 |

| pmatulis | is there a way to link a keystroke to popping up the calendar (residing in the panel)? | 13:11 |
| MrChrisDruif | pmatulis; I think it should be possible | 13:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | pmatulis; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#I_want_to_bind_a_key_to_lock_my_screen.2C_how_do_I_do_it.3F | 13:17 |
| MrChrisDruif | It tells you how to bind a key to lock the screen, but you could convert it to your request | 13:17 |
| pmatulis | MrChrisDruif: i don't think there is a command to pop up the calender (actually called the 'clock' afaik) | 13:18 |
| MrChrisDruif | pmatulis; why do you think that? | 13:18 |
| pmatulis | MrChrisDruif: b/c it's already running | 13:18 |
| MrChrisDruif | When you click it a certain command is cast to the program to pop it up | 13:19 |
| MrChrisDruif | If you can find that command, you can bind a key to perform the same | 13:20 |
| MrChrisDruif | So the main problem would be to find the command necessary to pop up the calendar | 13:21 |
| ace-compaq-nx902 | how do I make my pidgin work? | 17:20 |
| smile4ever | how do you mean? :) | 17:21 |
| smile4ever | ace-compaq-nx902: you could try to join #pidgin | 17:22 |
| ace-compaq-nx902 | i am new to lubuntu. i am connected to this site though chromium, can't unerstand how to do it though pidgin | 17:23 |
| kanliot | try xchat-gnome | 17:25 |
| ace-compaq-nx902 | what's xchat-gnome. i'm new to ubuntu an linux too) | 17:27 |
| kanliot | it's an irc client for chatting in irc channels | 17:27 |
| kanliot | use synaptic package manager to install it | 17:27 |
| ace-compaq-nx902 | is it like pidgin? do you use xchat-gnome instead? | 17:28 |
| pcroque | ace-compaq-nx902: I would also recommend xchat (great program), but if you want to use pidgin for IRC, here's a tutorial: http://eclug.homelinux.org/content/view/192/59/ | 17:28 |
| ace-compaq-nx902 | thanks for the link. I'll give a try to both of these | 17:30 |
| freeroute | is it just me or are the speeds of rsyncing an .iso file from one external USB HDD to another just only 12MB/s ? | 17:54 |
| freeroute | both are 2.5" 5400RPM drives btw | 17:55 |
| freeroute | also, SATA | 17:55 |
| vandal- | hey, i am using curently lubuntu on old pc (Pentium IV 1,7GHz, 512 MB RAM). i like lubuntu but it sometimes crashes and i would like to try some other distributions. what would you recommend for such weak pc? i've heard something about puppy, pappermint, damn small linux and some other distributions but i am not sure which choice would be best and whats the difference between them. Can you help me choose one? | 18:22 |
| pcroque | vandal-: I've tried both puppy and DSL. They were nice and light, but both had package management systems I couldn't get used to. Maybe they've changed though in the last 2 years. | 18:28 |
| Sentynel | I dunno if they've fixed it - I can't find any indication thereof on google - but last time I looked at Puppy it insisted on running everything as root, which seems to me an utterly baffling design decision and completely put me off the whole distro | 18:47 |
| Sentynel | dsl is nice, though | 18:48 |
| freeroute | pcroque & vandal-: you might want to check lupu, it's basically puppy linux with access to the whole Ubuntu repo - http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-5.2.8/release-Lucid-528.htm | 19:30 |
| vandal- | freeroute, just downloaded lupu 5 min ago :) | 19:31 |
| freeroute | vandal-: awesome timing then :p | 19:33 |
| freeroute | http://ubuntu-answers.blogspot.com/2011/11/rootunroot-android-under-ubuntu-with.html - this site gets chromium-browser worked up to 100% CPU usage and then crashes. Can some one confirm? | 19:55 |
| holstein | freeroute: anything trigger it? im looking at it in chrome | 19:57 |
| pcroque | freeroute: seems to work fine on my system in chromium 16.0.912.77 (Developer Build 118311 Linux) Ubuntu 11.10. No crashes or heavy cpu use. | 20:13 |
| pcroque | Running Lubuntu 11.10 and updating chromium from the repos. | 20:14 |
| anarchomarx | i search for composite-manager in lubuntu (lxde-openbox), any ideas? | 20:29 |
| Unit193 | We don't ship one by default as they aren't lightweight at all, but xcompmgr is one. | 20:30 |
| anarchomarx | ok, thx | 20:30 |
| Viman | you can activate some lightweight effects by running `xcompmgr -cf` | 20:34 |
| Viman | although that makes my windows dark for some reason in my box | 20:35 |
| pcroque | anarchomarx: there's also cairo-compmgr (http://cairo-compmgr.tuxfamily.org/). Worked OK on my system, but I decided I didn't need it. | 20:38 |
| anarchomarx | pcroque: i need it for ardesia at work :/ | 20:40 |
| Viman | a compositing manager? for work? | 20:41 |
| Viman | deffly get xcompmgr | 20:41 |
| Unit193 | Finally looked it up, and there were a few requests for xcompmgr, here's one with some config http://pastebin.com/xM0jjH9D | 21:12 |
| chorgox_ | googd night everyone | 21:25 |
| pAt_ | good night chorgox_ | 21:25 |
| chorgox_ | I been using lubuntu in my netbook running 11.04 but now i reinstaled 10.04 is it possible run lubuntu in that one? | 21:25 |
| Unit193 | chorgox_: Specs? | 21:28 |
| chorgox_ | is a "normal" netbook samsung n130 atom 270 1.6 mhz 1GB ram | 21:29 |
| Unit193 | I've run 11.10 on worse, so I wouldn't see why not. | 21:30 |
| chorgox_ | i do have a old pIII 1ghz 512ram in the kitchen "running" if you can say that lol but is about wich version of lubuntu would perform better? | 21:31 |
| chorgox_ | I mean in winlol you know that xp would perform better than vista or w7 but in ubuntu i m not sure yet | 21:32 |
| Unit193 | Well, Lubuntu doesn't have LTS's in the normal sense, LXDE doesn't get backported as it has a very low amount of devs. | 21:33 |
| * Unit193 Celeron 500MHz, 512M ram | 21:33 | |
| anarchomarx | Unit193: special thx. xcompmgr works fine and i can activate this, when i need it. | 21:35 |
| Unit193 | [16:12:32] < Unit193> Finally looked it up, and there were a few requests for xcompmgr, here's one with some config http://pastebin.com/xM0jjH9D | 21:35 |
| pAt__ | I run lubuntu on a dual core 2.8 Ghz with 4gb ram :D | 21:35 |
| Unit193 | anarchomarx: Glad it helped. | 21:35 |
| Unit193 | pAt__: Shhh, you're mean. ;) | 21:36 |
| pAt__ | Its not only for old hardware :) | 21:37 |
| chorgox_ | i kind of like unity in my dual-core but in my netbook is a bit overkill me thinks | 21:39 |
| pAt__ | My netbook runs with lmde with xfce like hell :) | 21:40 |
| chorgox_ | sorry for being a noob but what is lmde ? | 21:41 |
| Unit193 | It's "Linux Mint Debian Edition", not quite a support issue here. | 21:42 |
| pAt__ | No prob chorgox. Lmde is linux mint debian edition | 21:42 |
| pAt__ | Yes you are right unit193. Forgot we are in a support channel. | 21:43 |
| chorgox_ | never tried mint, even though lot's of people recomend it. | 21:44 |
| chorgox_ | what I like of netbook remix is that with a crappy touchpad big icons make sense, but at the same time the performance of xfce is great | 21:44 |
| Flazer | i looked at it, as well as fedora briefly, but lubuntu fit my tastes better | 21:44 |
| phillw | wxl: ping. | 21:45 |
| pAt__ | Lubuntu also runs well on a netbook | 21:46 |
| chorgox_ | never mint if is ubuntu / puppy or fedora. linux was the best thingh that happen in my netbook | 21:47 |
| chorgox_ | just sometimes wifi work "funny" and i need to restart my computer until it works | 21:47 |
| chorgox_ | shame sometimes does that when im showing off "linux" to my friends :S | 21:48 |
| pAt__ | :) | 21:48 |
| chorgox_ | I guess one day i would understand how linux loads drivers and stuff and i will solve | 21:49 |
| chorgox_ | or get a acer primus lol | 21:50 |
| Flazer | yeah i'm using my netbook now | 21:50 |
| chorgox_ | or ehatever is called the one w/keyboard | 21:50 |
| Flazer | lubuntu worked the best on it | 21:50 |
| Flazer | better than xubuntu | 21:51 |
| pAt__ | I am on my android right now :D | 21:51 |
| chorgox_ | I agree with flazer xubuntu did not make any difference | 21:52 |
| Flazer | yeah, it was too clunky, just like vanilla ubuntu or kubuntu | 21:52 |
| Flazer | the gui was too heavy i guess | 21:52 |
| Flazer | at least for my particluar machine | 21:52 |
| chorgox_ | pAt__ are you running lubuntu in your G1? | 21:52 |
| pAt__ | G1? | 21:52 |
| chorgox_ | android g1 that relic | 21:52 |
| pAt__ | Nah. I am running android on my samsung smartphone. There i am using an irc client now | 21:54 |
| Flazer | i wonder if anyone has put Lubuntu on a cr-48 | 21:55 |
| Unit193 | Might want to wander over to #lubuntu-offtopic though. | 21:57 |
| Flazer | yeah, just realized we've drifted | 21:59 |
| chorgox_ | does lubuntu would have an impact on battery life comapred with vainilla ubuntu ? | 21:59 |
| Flazer | not sure, as my experience with portables has been limited to just lubuntu | 22:00 |
| Flazer | but i would expect, since it's geared to use less resources, it should have slightly better battery life than vanilla ubuntu | 22:01 |
| chorgox_ | when i running xp (hardly ever) on my netbook there is like different "modes" that would give me more battery there is any aplication or somenthing simillar in lubuntu ? | 22:03 |
| Unit193 | Well, you should be able to dim the screen and the lower usage of LXDE when you compare to Unity should save on the battery a little. | 22:04 |
| Flazer | when i right click on the power information in the system tray in lubuntu, i can change power "modes" also | 22:07 |
| chorgox_ | there is a way to tell the procesor to slow down or i don't know stop some services to save some clock cycles? | 22:07 |
| chorgox_ | <Flazer> when i right click on the power information in the system tray in lubuntu, i can change power "modes" also [ HOW?] | 22:08 |
| Flazer | in your system tray, do you have the battery icon? I'm assuming you're on a notebook of some kind? | 22:09 |
| chorgox_ | yep | 22:09 |
| Flazer | if you right click on the icon...what are your options? | 22:09 |
| chorgox_ | let me turn that on | 22:09 |
| Flazer | were you getting that strange bug when waking from sleep with the taksbars? which was related to the battery icon? | 22:10 |
| chorgox_ | well im running netbook 10.04 (not lubuntu yet) does make a difference ? | 22:10 |
| Flazer | possibly | 22:11 |
| Flazer | i'm on 11.10 | 22:11 |
| Flazer | you're running vanilla? | 22:11 |
| chorgox_ | yeah kind of is the netbook remix but is vainilla ubuntu i guess | 22:13 |
| chorgox_ | im going to try to add lubuntu | 22:13 |
| Flazer | yeah, i'm looking but don't see the same kind of preferences for that version | 22:14 |
| Flazer | i can only speak to 11.10 lubuntu, since i'm currently running that | 22:14 |
| Flazer | i would probably suggest doing a clean install if you can, rather than "adding" lubuntu to your current distro, unless you're going to make a separate boot partition | 22:14 |
| Flazer | just make the live usb, and choose "replace ubuntu" when you have the option | 22:15 |
| Flazer | less chance for bugs I think | 22:15 |
| chorgox_ | ^-- why ??? | 22:15 |
| Flazer | for a cleaner install, you can try to just "upgrade" or add lubuntu | 22:17 |
| Flazer | but if you run into problems, it may just be a corrupt installation, you can always go back and do the step i suggested anyway | 22:17 |
| Flazer | matter of preference more than anything really | 22:18 |
| Flazer | others may have different advice | 22:18 |
| chorgox_ | well im a noob and i like to do my own t5hingh until i get in problems and i run to forums asking for help | 22:18 |
| Flazer | lol | 22:20 |
| Flazer | that's the great part about this place | 22:20 |
| chorgox_ | installing now, so get ready lol | 22:20 |
| chorgox_ | default display manager (gdm) (lxdm) | 22:22 |
| chorgox_ | i guess is lxdm the best one | 22:22 |
| chorgox_ | yeahh is working | 22:34 |
| Flazer | sweet | 22:34 |
| chorgox_ | ok now atm i don't have any "battery indicator" i guess I need to add the thinghy "applets" or somenthing like that ? | 22:38 |
| awkisopen | Hello friends! I'm trying to install Lubuntu on my netbook, but the font size is so ENORMOUS that I can't see the buttons at the bottom of the second dialogue! | 22:49 |
| awkisopen | The netbook's resolution is 1280x768 or something to that effect, so believe me when I say the fonts are huuuuuuge. | 22:49 |
| awkisopen | same thing when I try to run it off the LiveCD, but the funny thing is, when I go to Preferences -> Configure OpenBox, it tells me the font is 11px! 11px? it looks at least 30! | 22:50 |
| chorgox_ | well i guess somenthing need to get "weird" if you don't get a "fresh instalation" lol , how i can tell lubuntu that i want "lubuntu" as my default desktop etc etc.. | 23:00 |
| awkisopen | you mean you want it to be the default setting in your boot manager? | 23:05 |
| chorgox_ | thnx awkisopen i found it .. !!! | 23:06 |
| chorgox_ | wow i have the weidest thingh happening right now my menu bar is changing colours like "blinking" lol | 23:09 |
| chorgox_ | is like if someone would click to focus in the windows and click outside of the windows . like 100 times per second. | 23:11 |
| awkisopen | apparently most people have the opposite problem I'm having - the fonts are too small | 23:13 |
| awkisopen | I attempted the xrandr DPI solution I found in some of the forums, but running the command failed | 23:30 |
| awkisopen | why does Ubuntu get my font sizes right, but Lubuntu does not? | 23:30 |
