[00:02] kick me you fools [00:03] ;up [00:05] haha [00:06] thank you [00:06] np [00:49] 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 [00:50] vandal: try seamonkey [00:52] Seamonkey?? [00:53] yes, seamonkey. Unless you wanna go skinny, then Midori/Dillo [00:53] or even iceweasel [00:53] testing seamonkey :) [00:54] Arora isn't bad, but not really worked on. [00:54] stlsaint: That's firefox. :P [00:54] Unit193: yes but its also less resource hoggish from ff [00:57] Hmmm.... All that's changed should be the branding, unless you're using Debian Testing. [00:57] and I thought Arora was Firefox's Alpha Channel? [00:58] There's firefox beta, Aurora, and minefield. [00:59] touche [01:00] vandal-: what you think about Seamonkey? [01:01] It's a suite, it's heavy. :P [01:03] all i can say after 5 min is that it works way better than chrome/ff. i'll try other browsers too. [01:03] Arora isn't being worked on right now, but it's not too bad. [01:06] i love midoris extremely simple interface [01:07] but it displays pretty weird fonts - some wide, others thin [01:12] i'll stay with midori for a while, thanks for help :) [01:35] is this channel right for questions about lubuntu 12.04? [01:36] Support? No, that'd be #ubuntu+1 [01:37] Unit193: ok, thank you [02:04] Unit193: hrm, would #ubuntu+1 really be the best place for support of a os that uses a different environment [02:05] stlsaint: Yes, Kubuntu and Xubuntu also feed pangolin into there. [02:10] strange. Doesnt make much sense. I want to know about kubuntu so i go to a ubuntu chat?? [02:12] No, that's the dev version. [02:12] i have a old computer,512RAM,celeon 2.1G,can it run lubuntu? [02:13] Should be, just don't expect a brand new computer speed. [02:17] yesterday,i just install ubuntu11.10,too slowly,haha. [02:18] sorry for my broken english. [02:20] Is there a language you know better? They may have a local help channel. [05:14] I just installed ubuntu11.10,but it looks slowly.Can i change unity to xfce? how? thx. [05:15] hometow1_: this is for lubuntu... LXDE + ubuntu... you can install XFCE though however you manage packages [05:16] you can install LXDE... you could go with xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop... its up to you :) [05:18] Is lubuntu use LXDE to control the windows? sorry,i think i want to say change to LXDE... [05:19] hometow1_: yup [05:19] sudo apt-get install lubuntu or lubuntu-desktop [05:19] or just search for LXDE and/or lubuntu where ever you manage packages :) [05:20] thank you. [05:20] i will try. === head_v is now known as head_victim === marnold is now known as Guest47811 [10:33] hi [10:34] is possible to install firefox10 on lubuntu10.04 ? [11:02] is possible to install firefox10 on lubuntu10.04 ? [11:21] Lubuntu 11.10 is great! [11:28] sacarde: yes it's possible it's just a matter of how easy it is [11:29] CXIV: we like it :) [11:31] Earlier versions was quite unpolished [11:31] Were :D [11:32] sacarde: as far as I know, 10.04 has firefox 10 [11:32] Myrtti: mine is on 9.0.1 [11:33] !info firefox lucid [11:33] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 10.0+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.2 (lucid), package size 17002 kB, installed size 32336 kB (Only available for any all) [11:33] *shrug* [11:33] I must fail [11:33] * head_victim apt-gets an update [11:34] Firefox lags with 512 ram. [11:34] with the caveat that I don't have a lucid system with me here :-| [11:34] I can't check myself [11:34] My main machine tracks LTS's, my VM tracks +1 [11:35] Hm I did have the old firefox-stable ppa that i just disabled and still no 10 [11:35] * head_victim digs some mroe [11:42] 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] That gave me 10 [11:43] Despite it meant to be defautl [12:06] http://www.spreadshirt.nl/t-shirt-zelf-ontwerpen-C59/product/102701494/view/1 [12:07] that's a bit offtopic for the channel and I'd rather not see that kind of language in the channel either... [12:09] Myritti Sorry. === Guest47811 is now known as marnold [13:11] is there a way to link a keystroke to popping up the calendar (residing in the panel)? [13:13] pmatulis; I think it should be possible [13:17] 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] It tells you how to bind a key to lock the screen, but you could convert it to your request [13:18] MrChrisDruif: i don't think there is a command to pop up the calender (actually called the 'clock' afaik) [13:18] pmatulis; why do you think that? [13:18] MrChrisDruif: b/c it's already running [13:19] When you click it a certain command is cast to the program to pop it up [13:20] If you can find that command, you can bind a key to perform the same [13:21] So the main problem would be to find the command necessary to pop up the calendar [17:20] how do I make my pidgin work? [17:21] how do you mean? :) [17:22] ace-compaq-nx902: you could try to join #pidgin [17:23] i am new to lubuntu. i am connected to this site though chromium, can't unerstand how to do it though pidgin [17:25] try xchat-gnome [17:27] what's xchat-gnome. i'm new to ubuntu an linux too) [17:27] it's an irc client for chatting in irc channels [17:27] use synaptic package manager to install it [17:28] is it like pidgin? do you use xchat-gnome instead? [17:28] 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/ [17:30] thanks for the link. I'll give a try to both of these [17:54] is it just me or are the speeds of rsyncing an .iso file from one external USB HDD to another just only 12MB/s ? [17:55] both are 2.5" 5400RPM drives btw [17:55] also, SATA [18:22] 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? [18:28] 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. [18:47] 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 [18:48] dsl is nice, though [19:30] 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 [19:31] freeroute, just downloaded lupu 5 min ago :) [19:33] vandal-: awesome timing then :p [19:55] 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? [19:57] freeroute: anything trigger it? im looking at it in chrome [20:13] 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. [20:14] Running Lubuntu 11.10 and updating chromium from the repos. [20:29] i search for composite-manager in lubuntu (lxde-openbox), any ideas? [20:30] We don't ship one by default as they aren't lightweight at all, but xcompmgr is one. [20:30] ok, thx [20:34] you can activate some lightweight effects by running `xcompmgr -cf` [20:35] although that makes my windows dark for some reason in my box [20:38] anarchomarx: there's also cairo-compmgr (http://cairo-compmgr.tuxfamily.org/). Worked OK on my system, but I decided I didn't need it. [20:40] pcroque: i need it for ardesia at work :/ [20:41] a compositing manager? for work? [20:41] deffly get xcompmgr [21:12] Finally looked it up, and there were a few requests for xcompmgr, here's one with some config http://pastebin.com/xM0jjH9D [21:25] googd night everyone [21:25] good night chorgox_ [21:25] I been using lubuntu in my netbook running 11.04 but now i reinstaled 10.04 is it possible run lubuntu in that one? [21:28] chorgox_: Specs? [21:29] is a "normal" netbook samsung n130 atom 270 1.6 mhz 1GB ram [21:30] I've run 11.10 on worse, so I wouldn't see why not. [21:31] 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? [21:32] I mean in winlol you know that xp would perform better than vista or w7 but in ubuntu i m not sure yet [21:33] 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 [21:35] Unit193: special thx. xcompmgr works fine and i can activate this, when i need it. [21:35] [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] I run lubuntu on a dual core 2.8 Ghz with 4gb ram :D [21:35] anarchomarx: Glad it helped. [21:36] pAt__: Shhh, you're mean. ;) [21:37] Its not only for old hardware :) [21:39] i kind of like unity in my dual-core but in my netbook is a bit overkill me thinks [21:40] My netbook runs with lmde with xfce like hell :) [21:41] sorry for being a noob but what is lmde ? [21:42] It's "Linux Mint Debian Edition", not quite a support issue here. [21:42] No prob chorgox. Lmde is linux mint debian edition [21:43] Yes you are right unit193. Forgot we are in a support channel. [21:44] never tried mint, even though lot's of people recomend it. [21:44] 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] i looked at it, as well as fedora briefly, but lubuntu fit my tastes better [21:45] wxl: ping. [21:46] Lubuntu also runs well on a netbook [21:47] never mint if is ubuntu / puppy or fedora. linux was the best thingh that happen in my netbook [21:47] just sometimes wifi work "funny" and i need to restart my computer until it works [21:48] shame sometimes does that when im showing off "linux" to my friends :S [21:48] :) [21:49] I guess one day i would understand how linux loads drivers and stuff and i will solve [21:50] or get a acer primus lol [21:50] yeah i'm using my netbook now [21:50] or ehatever is called the one w/keyboard [21:50] lubuntu worked the best on it [21:51] better than xubuntu [21:51] I am on my android right now :D [21:52] I agree with flazer xubuntu did not make any difference [21:52] yeah, it was too clunky, just like vanilla ubuntu or kubuntu [21:52] the gui was too heavy i guess [21:52] at least for my particluar machine [21:52] pAt__ are you running lubuntu in your G1? [21:52] G1? [21:52] android g1 that relic [21:54] Nah. I am running android on my samsung smartphone. There i am using an irc client now [21:55] i wonder if anyone has put Lubuntu on a cr-48 [21:57] Might want to wander over to #lubuntu-offtopic though. [21:59] yeah, just realized we've drifted [21:59] does lubuntu would have an impact on battery life comapred with vainilla ubuntu ? [22:00] not sure, as my experience with portables has been limited to just lubuntu [22:01] but i would expect, since it's geared to use less resources, it should have slightly better battery life than vanilla ubuntu [22:03] 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 ? [22:04] 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. [22:07] when i right click on the power information in the system tray in lubuntu, i can change power "modes" also [22:07] there is a way to tell the procesor to slow down or i don't know stop some services to save some clock cycles? [22:08] when i right click on the power information in the system tray in lubuntu, i can change power "modes" also [ HOW?] [22:09] in your system tray, do you have the battery icon? I'm assuming you're on a notebook of some kind? [22:09] yep [22:09] if you right click on the icon...what are your options? [22:09] let me turn that on [22:10] were you getting that strange bug when waking from sleep with the taksbars? which was related to the battery icon? [22:10] well im running netbook 10.04 (not lubuntu yet) does make a difference ? [22:11] possibly [22:11] i'm on 11.10 [22:11] you're running vanilla? [22:13] yeah kind of is the netbook remix but is vainilla ubuntu i guess [22:13] im going to try to add lubuntu [22:14] yeah, i'm looking but don't see the same kind of preferences for that version [22:14] i can only speak to 11.10 lubuntu, since i'm currently running that [22:14] 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 [22:15] just make the live usb, and choose "replace ubuntu" when you have the option [22:15] less chance for bugs I think [22:15] ^-- why ??? [22:17] for a cleaner install, you can try to just "upgrade" or add lubuntu [22:17] 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 [22:18] matter of preference more than anything really [22:18] others may have different advice [22:18] 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 [22:20] lol [22:20] that's the great part about this place [22:20] installing now, so get ready lol [22:22] default display manager (gdm) (lxdm) [22:22] i guess is lxdm the best one [22:34] yeahh is working [22:34] sweet [22:38] ok now atm i don't have any "battery indicator" i guess I need to add the thinghy "applets" or somenthing like that ? [22:49] 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] The netbook's resolution is 1280x768 or something to that effect, so believe me when I say the fonts are huuuuuuge. [22:50] 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! [23:00] 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.. [23:05] you mean you want it to be the default setting in your boot manager? [23:06] thnx awkisopen i found it .. !!! [23:09] wow i have the weidest thingh happening right now my menu bar is changing colours like "blinking" lol [23:11] is like if someone would click to focus in the windows and click outside of the windows . like 100 times per second. [23:13] apparently most people have the opposite problem I'm having - the fonts are too small [23:30] I attempted the xrandr DPI solution I found in some of the forums, but running the command failed [23:30] why does Ubuntu get my font sizes right, but Lubuntu does not?
