| roasted | is there a gui in LXDE that lets me set up custom startup apps when I log in? | 04:30 |

| hosoka | hello all | 15:22 |
| hosoka | yet, another sunny day | 15:22 |
| KM0201 | sunny=HOT! | 15:24 |
| hosoka | yes, but not here. | 15:24 |
| hosoka | the reason I came into this chat was the autologin feature in LXDM. | 15:25 |
| MrChrisDruif | Awesome | 15:26 |
| KM0201 | hosoka: never used it... :) | 15:26 |
| MrChrisDruif | Could you come to #lubuntu-offtopic ? | 15:26 |
| hosoka | have seen that it was not easy to have this sorted out and still for some newbies difficult to tweak. If there was a nice gui for this just with a click .... | 15:26 |
| hosoka | ok | 15:26 |
| hosoka | right away :-) | 15:26 |
| KM0201 | to me, if Linus wanted us to use autologin, he wouldn't have created log in screens.. :) | 15:26 |
| Unit193 | It exists and works fine, what file are you editing? | 15:32 |
| roasted | hello! | 15:32 |
| roasted | In Gnome there's a GUI for "startup applications." I love this because it has the custom command feature. I have an rsync command in there that runs each time I log in automatically. Is there a similar feature in Lubuntu/LXDE? | 15:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | roasted; you can auto-start apps | 15:34 |
| MrChrisDruif | roasted; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_into_Desktop | 15:35 |
| roasted | MrChrisDruif: not to sound like a weenie, but there's no GUI equivalent? | 15:37 |
| MrChrisDruif | Afaik not | 15:39 |
| MrChrisDruif | Well, GUI way... | 15:39 |
| MrChrisDruif | Go to /usr/share/applications/ with PCmanFM, copy the requested app go to ~/.config/autostart/ (create if needed), paste and the rest is GUI already | 15:41 |
| roasted | Also, does PCMan support samba shares? | 15:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | Custom command you can just "create" an empty file with the required command in it | 15:41 |
| roasted | bin bash style, eh? | 15:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yup | 15:42 |
| MrChrisDruif | I'm not sure, but I think cron can also be used for trigging the file at boot up | 15:42 |
| roasted | I think cron can handle @reboot flags. | 15:43 |
| roasted | I like to avoid using cron unless it's a system wide task. This in particular is a per user task. | 15:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | Anyhow, you get the point right? | 15:46 |
| === x4 is now known as Guest39014 | ||
| roasted | Sure do. :) | 15:46 |
| roasted | I'm just trying to find a super light distro for my file server. | 15:46 |
| roasted | But during my hunt I was trying to see what features I would like it to have for it to be my main desktop OS. | 15:46 |
| roasted | which is where my curiosity of the GUI command thing came about. | 15:46 |
| KM0201 | roasted: let me get this straight | 15:47 |
| KM0201 | you want a main desktop OS, to be a fileserver? | 15:47 |
| roasted | KM0201: I sort of had a sidelined agenda with this. | 15:47 |
| roasted | KM0201: I have Ubuntu 11.04 on my file server now. I was going to search around for a different, lightweight one to use instead. | 15:47 |
| KM0201 | really it makes no sense for a fileserver, to be a "main desktop" as well. | 15:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | Indeed | 15:48 |
| roasted | KM0201: but during my search I began thinking, what if I would have this same OS as my maind esktop? | 15:48 |
| KM0201 | again, are we talking file server, or desktop? | 15:48 |
| roasted | KM0201: well, it's a kind of a multi use box. | 15:48 |
| KM0201 | .. | 15:48 |
| roasted | KM0201: I use it heavily for torrents. I also run video surveillance on it. etc. | 15:48 |
| KM0201 | i'm more confused now | 15:48 |
| roasted | but it's running raid and it's where I rsync my data to. | 15:48 |
| KM0201 | so why not juse use it as a file server, and then use it a desktop/laptop for general purposes? | 15:49 |
| roasted | it's a low powered box, significantly lower powered than my desktop. That's why I use it for torrents and video surveillance since it runs all the time. | 15:49 |
| roasted | then I use my personal desktop for whatever else. | 15:49 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 15:50 |
| KM0201 | so... maybe i'm misunderstanding | 15:50 |
| KM0201 | why do you want to put a desktop OS on it? | 15:50 |
| roasted | honestly, just for managing torrents. | 15:50 |
| roasted | remote in, see what's running, etc. | 15:50 |
| roasted | it's not like the gui is hurting anything | 15:51 |
| KM0201 | if it's just for managing torrents, you can probably set up either a simple Ubuntu server, or if you want a webUI, openmediavault is based on debian, and pretty easy | 15:51 |
| MrChrisDruif | roasted; ever tried deluge's console view? | 15:51 |
| MrChrisDruif | deluge-console | 15:51 |
| KM0201 | no, its probably not hurting anything, but it makes very little sense | 15:51 |
| roasted | MrChrisDruif: I have not. | 15:51 |
| roasted | It's a dual core box with a gig of RAM. I don't see what the issue is about running a GUI on it. | 15:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | It also has a WebUI apparently | 15:52 |
| KM0201 | transmission-daemon has a really easy webUI... if you use that to run your torrents. | 15:52 |
| KM0201 | (thats what i use. | 15:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ugh, transmission | 15:52 |
| KM0201 | i like it | 15:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | (Slow as hell) | 15:52 |
| roasted | If I was trying to squeeze a file server on 128mb of RAM I can see that argument being more warranted. | 15:52 |
| === EyesIsServer is now known as IAMACorrect | ||
| roasted | or, if say, I was running it in an enterprise environment | 15:52 |
| roasted | but, I'm not. so, gui. :D | 15:52 |
| KM0201 | MrChrisDruif: i dunno, it's always been plenty fast for me | 15:53 |
| KM0201 | i dunno, i've got a good amount of experience on Ubuntu-server and the desktop OS's (as i recently just rebuilt my server), and to me, it makes zero sense to have a gUI on a fileserver | 15:55 |
| tata | I have Lubuntu 11.10 and now install gnome alsa mixer but not work, why? | 15:56 |
| === IAMACorrect is now known as EyesIsMine | ||
| KM0201 | why did you install gnome-alsamixer? | 15:57 |
| tata | because i need some mixer and this mixer is good work on lubuntu 10.04 | 15:58 |
| === Guest39014 is now known as x4 | ||
| tata | and it is also in synaptic packing | 15:59 |
| roasted | KM0201: I would typically agree. But I do use this system for quite a lot where having the GUI is nice. | 15:59 |
| roasted | I have 3 monitors on my desk, 1 for this box and 2 for my desktop. Makes it nice just to easily see across 3 screens what's up. | 16:00 |
| KM0201 | tata: i really don't know.. never used gnome-alsamixer | 16:00 |
| roasted | originally I wanted all 3 monitors on my main desktop but it seems as if linux and gpu drivers are a little poor in that department unless you have identical graphics cards. (I did not, eh) | 16:00 |
| tata | it is simple and very good, but in lu 10.04 | 16:00 |
| tata | why not opperate in Lubuntu 11.10? | 16:03 |
| [S]coop | Hi guys =) | 16:06 |
| [S]coop | One question, is it possible to reorder the main menu ? How ? | 16:06 |
| [S]coop | Just found my answer, Google is definitely m best friend, http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Menu =P | 16:11 |
| KM0201 | [S]coop: menu editing is one of those areas where lxde could do much better | 16:12 |
| [S]coop | Thanks KM0201, I just discovered it. But it's not so bad. | 16:13 |
| KM0201 | [S]coop: it's not "so bad"... but it could be much better | 16:13 |
| KM0201 | editing a configuration file to make menu changes, is very annoying | 16:14 |
| [S]coop | +1 | 16:14 |
| [S]coop | http://lxmed.sourceforge.net/ can handle it, have to check that | 16:16 |

| KM0201 | it's quiet here because nobody has any problems.. :) | 21:03 |
| sheenzz | ah i do | 21:03 |
| KM0201 | well, then by all means, share it | 21:03 |
| sheenzz | oh i have lubuntu 10.10 but i want lubuntu 11.10 how do i get it? | 21:04 |
| cowmix | I just have to say that Lubuntu saved my sanity.. thank you Lubuntu team! | 21:04 |
| KM0201 | sheenzz: upgrade 10.10 to 11.04, then 11.04 to 11.10 | 21:04 |
| Unit193 | cowmix: Glad you like it. | 21:04 |
| sheenzz | by going in what | 21:06 |

| sheenzz | =) | 21:08 |
| KM0201 | i love it | 21:09 |
| sheenzz | oh what do ubuntu mean again | 21:10 |
| KM0201 | what does it mean? | 21:10 |
| KM0201 | i have no idea | 21:10 |
| KM0201 | probably some sort of "peace and harmony" | 21:10 |
| pAt__ | Humanity | 21:11 |
| KM0201 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(philosophy) | 21:11 |
| sheenzz | i think it's humanity toward others | 21:11 |
| KM0201 | i dunno | 21:12 |
| phillw | http://www.jonobacon.org/2008/12/19/the-ubuntu-ethos/ | 21:13 |
| KM0201 | to me, it means "virus free computing" | 21:13 |
| phillw | amongst other things. | 21:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | sheenzz: Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning : "Can't install Debian". | 21:13 |
| pAt__ | To me it means no need of make files anymore :D | 21:13 |
| KM0201 | that to.. for sure | 21:13 |
| KM0201 | bodhi_zazen: lol, been a while since i heard that one | 21:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | =) | 21:14 |
| phillw | lol bodhi_zazen I think Nelson Mandela himself gave the best description I have even heard :) http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CDkQtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DODQ4WiDsEBQ&ei=ANxwT7H7H8S08QO654XADQ&usg=AFQjCNHGd_OvwNnzRfypVtgygAMsTxKjQw | 21:14 |
| sheenzz | yeah, i am now updating my os just learn how to | 21:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed. ~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 1999 | 21:16 |
| sheenzz | Km0201: what do you mean? | 21:16 |
| KM0201 | what do i mean? | 21:16 |
| sheenzz | about no more need to make filies | 21:18 |
| KM0201 | sheenzz: i didn't say that, someone else did, but if i understood himc orrectly, he doesn't have to compile software any longer (because ubuntu's repos are packed w/ software) | 21:18 |
| pAt__ | Exactly | 21:19 |
| KM0201 | anybody else using 12.04? | 21:20 |
