danelsorry00:10
danelI use ubuntu, DON'T use lubuntu00:10
FernandoCuevawho can help me increase size and performance with lubuntu00:47
reachhey, what format should i get apps in for lubuntu 11.10? deb or tar00:50
Unit193!repoi00:51
Unit193!repo00:51
ubottuThe packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories00:51
Unit193use the repo, don't normally download from sites if you can avoid it.00:51
reachunit193: are you talking to me?00:53
Unit193Yep.00:53
reachoh lol, so whats repo00:54
Unit193The bot just linked to them, you use synaptic or apt-get to install software.00:55
reachso if i wanted chrome what do i try using apt-get00:56
Unit193Well, chrome isn't there, but chromium is.00:57
reachoh o.k. what about midori00:58
Unit193sudo apt-get install mirodi00:58
Unit193!software | reach00:59
ubottureach: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents00:59
Unit193https://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux if you must have chrome rather than chromium.00:59
reachoh one sec01:00
reachisnt it midori and not mirodi01:01
reach?01:01
Unit193Typo.01:03
chris_how do i fully install firefox so it shows in my sys tray and start options?02:19
Unit193Tray and "start option"?02:22
Unit193That's not the normal install.02:22
chris_well i dont know how to to do it02:22
chris_i never had a problem in ubuntu when i installed firefox but it seems everything is different in lubuntu and I cant install it so it shows up anywhere02:23
Unit193Menu > Internet > Firefox02:23
chris_yeah....no its not there, it is not anywhere....I have to go into the downloads folder>firefox>firefox.exe to run firefox02:24
Unit193Errr....02:24
chris_the icon has not shown up anywhere at all even the desktop02:24
Unit193What?02:24
Unit193How did you install it?02:24
chris_i just downloaded it from mozilla02:24
Unit193!software02:24
ubottuA general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents02:24
Unit193You should really use the repos...02:25
chris_how do i do that???02:25
Unit193.exe is a windows program.02:25
chris_whatever the "executable" file is is what i have to click on02:25
Unit193The link ubottu has it, but in short, open synaptic and search or open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install firefox02:25
chris_i havent even touched the surface of linux so I am still learning how to isntall things through the terminal and understanding the terminology02:25
chris_should i uninstall what i downloaded?02:26
Unit193https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement should help.02:26
Unit193Would be a bery good idea.02:26
chris_i know you should always install stuff through the terminal but sometimes I have issues doing it02:26
Unit193Don'thave to use the terminal, you can use  synaptic.02:27
chris_E: Package 'firefox' has no installation candidate.......this is what it says in terminal02:27
Unit193https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto02:27
chris_twiztid02:27
Unit193try  sudo apt-get update   then the install command.02:28
chris_disregard the twiztid thing....meant for another chat02:28
chris_this synaptic thing is making no sense to me sorry02:33
chris_i figured it out02:36
chris_@Unit193 thanks I figured it out02:37
Unit193Yep, synaptic isn't too hard, but it may be confusing for someone that hasn't used it before.02:37
Unit193In the next version there's an even friendlier way to do it.02:38
chris_i did it in the terminal, i will have to mess with the synaptic thing.....another question, yesterday my time read a 12 hour time format and now it switched back to 24 hour....how do i switch it back?02:40
Unit193Change the clock format to something like  %r02:42
Unit193Right click > settings02:42
Unit193(Clock settings, not panel)02:43
chris_ok almost there....how do i take the seconds off?02:43
Unit193Use a different time setting.02:44
Unit193http://linux.die.net/man/3/strftime list of choices (you can combine, and it's accessible from your system via   man strftime  terminal command)02:46
chris_thanks02:53
chris_later everyone02:53

skedarhi, I bought an EEE PC, 1025C, quite a new model I think, I'd like to find out whether there is any drivers support for it on Linux since I'd love it to run Lubuntu, but I didn't find anyone who tried to run linux on it by googling, does anyone have this model here?17:05
bioterrortry Live?17:06
bioterrorput it on USB and give it a spin17:06
skedaryeah I want to do it today =) was just curious about the drivers, I'm pretty sure it will work somehow on generic ones but I wonder how the battery will be handled for instance, whether I'll still have a good battery capacity17:08
bioterrorthat's why the live environment rules17:09
bioterroryou can try it out and see if it works out of the box ;)17:10
bioterrorno need for installing17:10
skedarI guess, but I don't want to wait 10 hours to see if my battery still works that long on Lubuntu =D17:14

ingmar_hi.. can anyone look and see whats wrong with a simple script i wrote? whats that site where you can copy paste your code?21:32
bioterror!paste21:32
ubottuFor posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.21:32
ingmar_ty21:32
ingmar_http://paste.ubuntu.com/915215/ its really simple just a script that counts.. or should21:33
MrChrisDruifingmar_; is this line correct? number=$((number + 1))21:36
ingmar_yes.. it should count up $until it reaches $number2 right?21:37
ingmar_* it should count up $number till it reaches $number221:37
MrChrisDruifnumber=$(($number + 1)) or just number+=1 ?21:39
MrChrisDruifProbably the first21:39
jmarsden|workingmar_: The increment line can be written as   ((number+=1))22:43
MrChrisDruifjmarsden|work; current line doesn't work right?22:44
jmarsden|workThe extra $ at the front of the (( causes issues, it tries to evaluate the resulting expression.22:44
jmarsden|work((n+1)) is an example in the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide... so that way *definitely* works :)22:45
jmarsden|work((n+=1)) I meant22:46
MrChrisDruif^_^22:46
AMIGAShow do i change the wallpaper?23:42
wxlAMIGAS: right click on desktop > Desktop Preferences …should be obvious at that point ;)23:45
AMIGASwxl: it's not there23:48
wxlAMIGAS: strange. it's here. last item in the context menu. what do you get? i.e. what are all the options?23:48
wxlAMIGAS: try hitting alt-f2 and enter `pcmanfm --desktop-pref` (without the quotes) and hit enter23:51
AMIGASwxl: terminal, browser, desktops, ob conf, reconfigure, restart ans exit23:52
wxlwhile you're in that dialog from the above, click on the advanced tab and UNcheck the "show menus provided by window managers…" option23:52
wxlwhich will fix the right click menu next time23:53
wxl^ AMIGAS23:53
AMIGASwhere is that?23:55
wxlif you do what i said above you'll see23:56
wxlAMIGAS: try hitting alt-f2 and enter `pcmanfm --desktop-pref` (without the quotes) and hit enter23:56
AMIGASok i see then23:57
AMIGASlol oh thanks but why couldn't i find it anywhere?23:58
wxlthe answer to your problem? it's in the faq23:58
wxlit would have been nice if we would have used the openbox menu (the one you were originally seeing) for our context menu but to keep the theme looking the same we used a different one23:59
wxlif you accidentially hit that checkbox i mentioned, it just disappears with no apparent solution23:59
wxlso it's got its pros and cons23:59
