[00:35] <MATH22> hi i would like to know how to install my radeon hd 3850 in lubuntu
[00:35] <MATH22> please
[05:07] <FernandoCueva> I want to install a game what is the preferred wey? to uncompress as user or root
[05:08] <MrChrisDruif> Install from the repositories I'd say
[13:15] <lvladi> hi, can someone help me? I'm using lubuntu, and want to add some more workspaces. Thank you.
[13:32] <holstein> lvladi: http://linuxlibrary.org/desktop/lxde-desktop-workspaces/
[14:57] <drlaban> Soo, I'm trying out Lubuntu on my old HP dc7700p box. I'm surprised by the swiftness of it and am enjoying it more by the minute. I do have a problem with keyboard delay in 11.10.
[14:58] <drlaban> I have been told that the configuration file for delay and repeat interval is stored in file ~/.config/lxsession/$DESKTOP_SESSION/desktop.conf
[14:59] <drlaban> However, I have tried fidgetting with this file and path for a while now and I can't come up with a way of getting this to work.
[15:01] <drlaban> If I use the Input Device Preferences GUI, the file is never created. If I create it myself I get a file that contains only default mouse and keyboard settings. Also, through some digging I've concluded that settings related to the window manager (openbox) is missing when I do this.
[15:02] <drlaban> This means that when the file exists, it breaks openbox on quite a few places. When I delete it, openbox returns to normal.
[15:04] <drlaban> I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I could make this work. All I wanted out of this was to change the Repeat delay but it seems a hard road to get there.
[15:51] <smile> bye :)
[15:53] <drlaban> I'm using Vim. I can't seem to figure out if or how it's possible to have the cursor change shape when I switch modes. It seems as if colours is configurable but not cursor shape.
[15:53]  * MrChrisDruif has no experience with vim
[15:54] <drlaban> Oh, and I'm using lxterminal. That's probably pretty important.
[15:56] <drlaban> MrChrisDruif: Any experience with desktop.conf?
[15:57] <MrChrisDruif> Not really, why?
[15:57] <drlaban> MrChrisDruif: _Totally_ different question. :)
[15:57] <drlaban> Well, I'm having problems with getting repeat delay to work
[15:57] <drlaban> I'm trying to adjust my keyboard settings but Lubuntu doesn't agree with me.
[15:59]  * MrChrisDruif is back in a jiffy, but I don't think I know how to help you as I'm currently not running lubuntu. But maybe you could paste your desktop.conf with the section you're referring to then I might have a look
[17:51] <Blutkoete> Hello!
[17:56] <AmberJ_> Anyone uses a hp printer (with hplip) here?
[17:57] <AmberJ_> Since last couple of days my printer (inkjet model hp 910) was behaving weird. After one print session, it's head would stuck in opposite direction to what it is supposed to be..
[17:58] <AmberJ_> I tried a couple of things. Then I thought of reinstalling it. So, I did 'sudo apt-get purge hplip'..
[17:58] <AmberJ_> Then, I did 'sudo apt-get install hplip' to install it again.
[17:58] <AmberJ_> But now when I run 'sudo hp-setup' it won't detect my printer..
[18:07] <AmberJ_> Nevermind. I ran 'system-config-printer' and "Add"ed my printer from the list it generated automatically
[18:07] <AmberJ_> The problem is solved now.
[19:40] <kanliot> some reason on my precise box, unity just got installed after an apt-get upgrade
[19:40] <kanliot> ?  i guess i have to ask why.
[19:40] <kanliot> 4 some reason
[20:04] <Yorvyk> kanliot: How long since you did an update as this was a problem some time back and was solved.
[20:07] <kanliot> a few days
[20:07] <kanliot> @ orvyk
[20:08] <kanliot> i really am not that good at package managment
[20:08] <kanliot> yorvyk
[20:11] <Yorvyk> kanliot: have you added any packages?
[20:12] <kanliot> of course i've installed software
[20:12] <kanliot> been running precise for months
[20:13] <Yorvyk> What have you installed?
[20:14] <kanliot> man i install lots of stuff
[20:14] <kanliot> everything from gedit to eclipse
[20:14] <kanliot> a-z
[20:15] <kanliot> i did install nautilus
[20:15] <kanliot> that might have been it
[20:15] <Yorvyk> I'm wondering if one or more of them has some sort of dependency on Unity
[20:16] <Yorvyk> or maybe recommends it.
[20:17] <kanliot> yeah
[20:18] <Yorvyk> That's the only thing I can think of.
[20:18] <kanliot> i don't know how to check recommends
[20:19] <Yorvyk> I right click on the package in Synaptic
[20:19] <kanliot> on unity?
[20:21] <Yorvyk> You could start there.  But I'd try Nautilus first to see if it recommends or suggests unity
[20:21] <Yorvyk> This sort of thing can be very hard to find
[20:21] <kanliot> sounds impossible
[20:21] <kanliot> but thank you yorvyk
[20:21] <kanliot> well not impossible
[20:21] <kanliot> if i had a few hours maybe
[20:22] <Yorvyk> OK,
[20:22] <Yorvyk> You could just remove unity if you don't want it
[20:22] <kanliot> i have
[20:23] <kanliot> thanks agin
[20:23] <Yorvyk> OK
[20:24] <kanliot> actually i may have found a way, but it doesn't work
[20:25] <kanliot> synaptic has a
[20:25] <kanliot> 'missing recommends' filter
[20:25] <kanliot> use that somehow?
[20:25] <kanliot> but it's not working donno hy
[20:25] <kanliot> why
[20:25] <kanliot> apologies if hy is in this channel
[20:27] <Yorvyk> It is working as no package has any of it's recommended packages missing
[20:28] <kanliot> that would be true if the package that recommended the unity package was fixed already
[20:29] <kanliot> but where is the smoking gun?
[20:29] <kanliot> it's a conspiracy and ubuntu is trying to get me to change distributions
[20:30] <bioterror> I usually check my update/upgrades
[20:30] <bioterror> I see what's installing
[20:30] <kanliot> yeah
[20:30] <kanliot> not a big deal really
[20:31] <bioterror> purge unity
[20:31] <kanliot> i just dont want to reboot into unity
[20:31] <kanliot> well i removed package, do i need to purge also?
[20:31] <kanliot> and which purge command do i use?
[20:31] <bioterror> if you dont need it, why would you keep the configs?
[20:31] <kanliot> apt-get purge unity
[20:31] <bioterror> can you explain it
[20:31] <kanliot> or apt-get --purge unity
[20:31] <kanliot> well
[20:32] <kanliot> it made sense when i did it 20 mins ago
[21:12] <MrChrisDruif> kanliot; issue is fixed? (Unity got installed somehow?)
[21:23] <kanliot> well i did apt-get remove
[21:23] <kanliot> so it's fixed kinda in a way
[21:25] <MrChrisDruif> Did you figure out which package brought it in?
[21:26] <kanliot> i did not figure it out
[21:26] <kanliot> i do have this awful story about high school though
[21:26] <kanliot> http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/sm9lb/my_sister_went_to_a_18th_birthday_party_with_3/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
[21:26] <kanliot> i guess i'll see if more people have the problem
[21:27] <kanliot> much like ubuiqity crashing
[21:27] <kanliot> ubiquity
[21:27] <kanliot> and locking up
[21:27] <kanliot> just wait for more people to report it

[21:51] <kanliot> thanks but i'm in the middle of something else now
