| earthling_ | I was trying to use config-editor to make a new keyboard shortcut. I want the shortcut to open a leafpad text file. Nothing happens when I press the selected key. | 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| jlb181 | earthling_, I just tried quick and it worked. don't what differences there are. I used a text doc in my home folder and gedit. | 00:22 |
| earthling_ | I put the file path in keybindings_commands | 00:23 |
| earthling_ | and set <Control>o | 00:23 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | earthling_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides :] | 00:24 |
| earthling_ | for run command 1 | 00:24 |
| earthling_ | I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 | 00:25 |
| earthling_ | IAmNotThatGuy, thanks for the lin, can you be more specific? | 00:27 |
| earthling_ | jlb181, I wanted to activate it by pressing control-o | 00:28 |
| earthling_ | not have to search for file and click it | 00:28 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | earthling_, Sorry. I have posted the deskopt shortcut guide link. Kindly read the post http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/464429-lxde-keyboard-shortcuts.html | 00:29 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | That has the details about setting a shortcut in lxde | 00:29 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | earthling_, I hope the last link gives you an Idea to how to set the shortcut. Make sure that you followed the same and if you need more guidance, I ll be here :) | 00:32 |

| Vagglos | Hello! I just installed Lucid (Vista 1st) and the partition is too big (90GB). How can I reduce it to 30GB and make the rest 60GB NTFS? Is it safe? | 07:26 |
| Unit193 | Boot using the live CD and resize using gparted. | 07:28 |
| Unit193 | !gparted | 07:28 |
| ubot2 | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 07:28 |
| Vagglos | Is it safe? I dont want to have to install and configure/updateVista all over again.. | 07:29 |
| Unit193 | I've not had problems myself, that being said, there are some warnings about it, yes. | 07:30 |
| Vagglos | Is it safer if I dont merge the existing Vista partition (128GB) with the new 60GB NTFS I'll create? | 07:31 |
| Unit193 | IIRC, Vista has it's own that you can use to "merge" them? | 07:31 |
| Vagglos | I want the safer option. Thats why I am willing to have 2 different NTFS partition (a.Vista-128gb b.60gb ntfs) | 07:32 |
| Vagglos | If i could merge safely , yes I would want that | 07:33 |
| Unit193 | Well, in the end you should do what makes you feel safer. | 07:33 |
| Vagglos | ok I'll try gparted with a liveusb | 07:34 |
| Vagglos | and tell you how it went | 07:35 |
| Vagglos | *fingers crossed | 07:35 |
| Unit193 | Alright, I'll read the scrollback tomorrow as it is 03:35 now. | 07:35 |
| Vagglos | ok | 07:36 |
| Vagglos | just a quick gusetion | 07:36 |
| Vagglos | how do I format a USB flash drive with FAT32? I am using Linux 10.04 | 07:37 |
| Unit193 | Heh, I'd install gparted onto that system and just do that, it's what I did last time. | 07:37 |
| Vagglos | is says the current filesystem is "msdos" | 07:37 |
| Vagglos | I want to make a USB live but my USBstick is not FAT32 formatted | 07:38 |
| Vagglos | found it. sorry for the extra question | 07:40 |
| Vagglos | tahnks for the help | 07:40 |
| Unit193 | Sure, good luck as well. | 07:40 |

| duanedesign | lightdm.conf unity-greeter.conf users.conf | 14:41 |
| forestpiskie | duanedesign: Basher101_ is trying to set background for lightdm | 14:42 |
| forestpiskie | should be in the greeter conf | 14:42 |
| bioterror | /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu.conf | 14:42 |
| bioterror | background=/usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png | 14:42 |
| bioterror | doesnt match :D | 14:43 |
| Basher101_ | the file is not lightdm-gtk-greeter but just lightdm.conf | 14:43 |
| bioterror | my conf has only two lines | 14:44 |
| Basher101_ | and inside the lightdm it has: user-session=ubuntu greeter-session=unity-greeter | 14:44 |
| bioterror | hahahaaa! | 14:44 |
| bioterror | /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf | 14:44 |
| duanedesign | dont you set the background image in : gksu gedit /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf | 14:44 |
| bioterror | background=/usr/share/lubuntu/wallpapers/lubuntu-default-wallpaper.png | 14:44 |
| bioterror | that's how it is done on Lubuntu | 14:45 |
| duanedesign | background=/usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png | 14:45 |
| Basher101_ | a look into synaptic shows i have not installed lightdm-gtk-greeter | 14:45 |
| Basher101_ | did install and now i got something that looks like a proper conf file | 14:45 |
| Basher101_ | yep and there is the line for the background | 14:45 |
| bioterror | I have greeter installed | 14:45 |
| Basher101_ | alright so now comes what i actually wanted to do | 14:46 |
| Basher101_ | i love how in oneiric there were these stars when i typed my password | 14:46 |
| Basher101_ | i want that in precise too | 14:46 |
| Basher101_ | what do i have to edit to achive this.. | 14:46 |
| Basher101_ | i still got a full oneiric install on my laptop if any files are needed | 14:47 |
| Basher101_ | no ideas how to do that? | 14:49 |
| Basher101_ | i basically want the old oneiric login screen.. | 14:50 |
| Basher101_ | okay lets forget the login screen for now, i tried to install Gnome 3 shell with the terminal. It installed successfully and it showed up on the login screen. I chose gnome, logged in and it froze - no activities, could not click on the top panel, nothing. I had to go ctrl+alt+F1 to reboot. | 14:56 |
| Basher101_ | My guess is some packages are missing? | 14:56 |
| bob_____ | how could I get dhcp to assign me a new ip address after I did ifdown | 17:35 |
| bob_____ | sometimes it assigns me new one, sometimes the same one | 17:36 |
| bob_____ | is there any way to force a new one every time? | 17:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | good thing bob_____ waited for an answer ;) | 17:38 |
| bioterror | yes | 17:38 |
| bioterror | would you have kept him a lesson about dhcp lease times? | 17:39 |
