[02:09] <wormmd> Anyone have a reliable method to access a Lubuntu box remotely via Windows RDC?
[02:10] <wormmd> Or any way, really.
[02:10] <Unit193> Do you need GUi?
[02:10] <wormmd> Unit193: yes.
[02:10] <Unit193> !vnc
[02:10] <wormmd> Tried xrdp and NX, both with issues.
[02:11] <wormmd> VNC brings its own issues: I usually access my box from a machine with a lower native resolution, making navigating even the screen difficult.
[02:12] <Unit193> Scale the image, and those are going to be your best options really.
[02:12] <Unit193> VNC works quite well too.
[02:12] <wormmd> brb, changing a diaper :)
[02:16] <wormmd> If I scale I lose some screen real estate locally because the resolution ratios are different, but that may be something I have to deal with.
[02:16] <wormmd> I got an error with NX before: Xsession: unable to launch "gnome-session" X session [02:17] <wormmd> After which the NX client quit.
[02:17] <wormmd> Thoughts?
[02:17] <Unit193> I normally just use SSH, but if it's a single window you need, you can use ssh with X forwarding.
[02:17] <wormmd> I could deal with a single window.
[02:17] <wormmd> Both would be nice, but single would be fine.
[02:17] <Unit193> And it's been a while since I last poked at NX, but it should have session selection.
[02:17] <Unit193> Lookup Xming
[02:18] <Unit193> And now I'll be afk a bit.
[02:18] <wormmd> Thanks for the help :)
[02:19] <wormmd> Now that you mention it, I did just use an NX shortcut on the local machine that was probably for an old configuration on the remote machine, I'll have to check that tommorow.
[07:28] <windbuntu> hmm it seems like this would be better than buying a chroembook
[07:28] <windbuntu> chromebook
[07:28] <windbuntu> they want 400-500 for a chromebook and i can take an old laptop and put lubuntu on it and essentially have the same thing...right?
[07:39] <pungi-man> windbuntu, chromebook just has internet facility and u will not be able to use most of ur applications except from the chrome store!
[07:39] <windbuntu> correct
[07:40] <pungi-man> what is its cost windbuntu ??
[07:40] <windbuntu> excellent observation pungi-man
[07:44] <windbuntu> i would like to create the equivalent...buy pay nothing

[09:28] <bioterror> is that flash drive okay?
[09:29] <bioterror> can you mount it from the terminal?
[09:29] <JohnDoe_71Rus> yes ok. I can mount them run gksu pcmanfm
[09:30] <JohnDoe_71Rus> by root
[09:30] <JohnDoe_71Rus> it's old problem. Think is polkit

[09:44] <JohnDoe_71Rus> And I'm looking for a way how to easily change the ubuntu 10.04 on lubutnu 12.04. After saving the settings. Perhaps should be removed gnome, update from the console, then install lubutnu-minimal
[09:45] <pungi-man> my cairo-dock and conky are not working properly in lubuntu. But it works properly in unity,gnome and KDE. Can anyone suggest me a way to overcome this??
[09:45] <bioterror> configure your conky

[10:12] <dove_g> then select and start to play any video
[10:12] <dove_g> does it works?
[10:14] <MrChrisDruif> dove_g; for me on gnome-shell it does
[10:14] <drlaban> dove_g: Not for me. It actually screws Chromium up pretty bad on my netbook.
[10:15] <dove_g> yes, it works on gnome, not on LXDE
[10:15] <jakob_l> works for me
[10:16] <dove_g> on LXDE?
[10:16] <dove_g> lubuntu
[10:16] <jakob_l> yes
[10:16] <dove_g> huh
[10:16] <dove_g> jakob_l, im using 64bit? you?
[10:16] <drlaban> doesn't work well in openbox

[10:17] <drlaban> I'll test it on my not-so-netbooky other box I got, gimme a sec
[10:17] <MrChrisDruif> P.s. I do use chromium
[10:17] <MrChrisDruif> Did you try turning on html5 on youtube?
[10:18] <dove_g> nope
[10:18] <drlaban> Same horrible experience on my regular desktop, same Lubuntu-setup apart from hardware. The page becomes unresponsive and wants to crash
[10:19] <dove_g> ok tnx drlaban
[10:19] <drlaban> I had, however, not enabled html5. Dunno if it'll make a difference.
[10:19] <drlaban> Nah, crashes horribly
[10:20] <dove_g> how to enable html5?
[10:20] <drlaban> http://youtube.com/html5

[10:32] <Guest2520> hi all
[10:32] <drlaban> dove_g: I added myself to the affected list
[10:34] <dove_g> tnx
[10:34] <jakob_l> could it be sound related?
[10:34] <Guest2520> im severly stuck, i just installed lubuntu and my window text is tiny but text in a web browser is fine
[10:35] <jakob_l> I use pulseaudio on my lubuntu
[10:35] <Guest2520> i have an nvidia card and the resolution is set ok there
[10:36] <MrChrisDruif> bug 997037
[10:37] <MrChrisDruif> Ah, I thought it said unconfirmed...
[10:37] <MrChrisDruif> Guest2520; what "Window text" is tiny? Title bar, field text?
[10:38] <Guest2520> all of it, the title, the menu options, even my firefox plugins,
[10:38] <Guest2520> even my taskbar is tiny
[10:39] <Guest2520> but the resolution is set right in xserver
[10:39] <Guest2520> any any webpage inside firefox is rendered fine
[10:39] <Guest2520> but anything else, i have to be an inch away form the tv too see it
[10:40] <bioterror> normal stuff with TV
[10:40] <bioterror> you can lift up the fonts
[10:40] <Guest2520> it works perfect on ubuntu and xubuntu
[10:40] <bioterror> grow the size
[10:40] <Guest2520> tried that, didn't change anything
[10:40] <Guest2520> i set it to 48 and it dint move an inch
[10:40] <bioterror> okay
[10:40] <bioterror> just a moment
[10:41] <Guest2520> thank you
[10:42] <bioterror> Guest2520, http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/204-solved-nvidia-drivers-and-fonts-size/page__view__findpost__p__1035
[10:43] <bioterror> one guy had same kind of problem if I remember right
[11:00] <ChesterX> hey everyone, where can i find the ubuntu start disc creator?
[11:01] <Len2805> hi again
[11:01] <Len2805> it didnt work
[11:02] <bioterror> tweaking the nvidia settings?
[11:02] <Len2805> yeah, didnt change anything
[11:03] <Len2805> ive been on google all morning looking at this, i think it may have something to do with the dpi settings
[11:03] <Len2805> its just strange how it is only in lubuntu
[11:03] <Len2805> where is the best place to dump a screenshot for you
[11:04] <bioterror> !paste
[11:05] <Len2805> http://imagebin.org/211640
[11:05] <bioterror> small that is :D
[11:06] <bioterror> is text on the menu too small?
[11:06] <Len2805> yes
[11:07] <Len2805> ill add another with a  few other apps open
[11:09] <Len2805> http://imagebin.org/211641
[11:09] <Len2805> the menu failed to stay open while i took a screenshot
[11:10] <bioterror> you can use "scrot -d 5 shot.png"
[11:10] <bioterror> command
[11:10] <bioterror> where -d 5 is "delay 5 seconds"
[11:10] <bioterror> ;)
[11:10] <Len2805> you can see there how working in the terminal can be hgard
[11:10] <bioterror> you have enough time to open menu or do what every you want and it will then snap the shot
[11:10] <Len2805> or even typing
[11:12] <bioterror> Len2805, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Display_Size_and_DPI
[11:12] <Len2805> thank you will look at that now
[11:14] <bioterror> so you have to change DPI to 96x96 or something like that
[11:29] <Mkaysi> Shutter can have delay too
[17:38] <bodhi_zazen> What is the default editor on Lubuntu ?
[17:39] <bioterror> leafpad
[17:41] <Unit193> Thought it was nano or vi ;)
[17:42] <bioterror> :D
[17:42] <bioterror> I know bodhi, he wants GUI stuff
[19:53] <theluckymike> my laptop wakes up immediately after going in suspend. ideas?
[21:23] <windbuntu> how long does it take to boot lubuntu?
[21:23] <windbuntu> from a turned off computer?
[21:25] <holstein> windbuntu: depends
[21:25] <holstein> windbuntu: i would choose lubuntu for LXDE.. for something light, but not too light if you know what i mean
[21:26] <AngelForget> I trying to fully quantal Quetzal Ubuntu 12.10 and gives me a good impression even if else is still much work
[21:26] <holstein> windbuntu: for fast boot, i would just not reboot..
[21:26] <holstein> just suspend or leave it running
[21:27] <dove_g> windbuntu: about 20-30 sek
[21:27] <dove_g> for ubuntu: 30-40 sek
[21:27] <windbuntu> i may attempt to create a machine that has similar charicteristics to a chromebook...but use lubuntu instead.
[21:27] <dove_g> if you have SSD then you get for sure cca 10sec
[21:27] <dove_g> just buy SSD
[21:27] <windbuntu> what about lubuntu on a flash drive
[21:28] <AngelForget> ssd is  more fast
[21:28] <dove_g> buy SSD
[21:28] <MrChrisDruif> AngelForget; 12.10 will practically only be updated kernel and updated core packages from 12.04
[21:28] <dove_g> about 100$
[21:28] <AngelForget> yes MrChrisDruif
[21:28] <windbuntu> a hundred bucks is a lotta dough
[21:28] <MrChrisDruif> Hmm, dough ^_^
[21:29] <windbuntu> i have an empty 8 gig flash drive
[21:29] <windbuntu> that is staring at me
[21:29] <AngelForget> MrChrisDruif,  but still is not very stable as Lubuntu 12:04
[21:30] <MrChrisDruif> AngelForget; that's to be expected from a pre-alpha release
[21:31] <windbuntu> are you saying 12.10 is out already?
[21:32] <MrChrisDruif> windbuntu; PRE-ALPHA!!
[21:32] <windbuntu> omg 12.04 is just out
[21:33] <MrChrisDruif> windbuntu; we start working on the next release right after the previous...we've only got about 5 months
[21:33] <AngelForget> MrChrisDruif, this is the fact I'm testing, but some packages are completely new
[21:33] <gordonjcp> 12.10 is "out" but it's still basically on fire
[21:34] <gordonjcp> aw man, spamassassin, why are you not learning from this spam corpus?
[21:35] <AngelForget> gordonjcp, is true
[21:35] <gordonjcp> I'm awfully tempted just to write some naive pattern matching
[21:35] <gordonjcp> anything that mentions "prescriptions" and has a dollar sign in it, 100% spam
[21:36] <MrChrisDruif> But to conclude, 12.04 is the current release for 6 more month, after that (20)12.10(October) will be the new release
[21:36] <gordonjcp> the spammers are going apeshit at the moment with "FLOWERS FOR MOM! BUY NOW FOR MOTHERS DAY"
[21:36] <gordonjcp> wtf, mother's day was months ago
[21:36] <holstein> the 13th
[21:36] <holstein> it was 11 months ago ;)
[21:36] <gordonjcp> if I buy them now they'll be all wilted by the time it rolls around again
[21:36] <gordonjcp> that's a stupid idea
[21:37] <windbuntu> i do not see all this mothers day stuff? where is it?
[21:39] <holstein> regardless... dont forget mom... 4 more days!
[21:40] <AngelForget> lol
[21:50] <gordonjcp> holstein: four more days until...?
[21:50] <holstein> gordonjcp: mothers day
[21:50] <gordonjcp> windbuntu: I'm getting insane amounts of spam at the moment, spamassassin *is* looking at it but not classifying it
[21:50] <gordonjcp> holstein: that was two months ago
[21:51] <holstein> gordonjcp: i dont think so
[21:51] <holstein> gordonjcp: may 13th
[21:51] <gordonjcp> nope, it was in march
[21:51] <gordonjcp> I even took a long weekend so I could travel up to visit my mum
[21:51] <gordonjcp> and not have to rush off at sunday teatime
[21:52] <holstein> gordonjcp: cool.. in the US, its may 13th
[21:52] <holstein> gordonjcp: thats why im saying its coming up, and explains the spam
[21:52] <Unit193> May want #ubuntu-offtopic.
[21:53] <holstein> i thought this was it since i say the cursing
[21:53] <gordonjcp> holstein: aha, maybe it's a US thing then
[22:42] <HoNgOuRu> how do I remove all different sound systems and their configuration files?
[22:44] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: what systems? JACK? pulse?
[22:45] <HoNgOuRu> I removed alsa-common alsa pulse esound etc...
[22:45] <HoNgOuRu> just wanna get rid of everything to install only pulse or whatever that handles right the 5.1
[22:45] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: pulse uses alsa AFAIK
[22:46] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: how about this.. what are you trying to do?
[22:46] <HoNgOuRu> just play the 5.1 right.
[22:47] <HoNgOuRu> I config something last time that enabled me the 5.1 but just for the first song after starting the service
[22:47] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: sometimes that just cant happen... you can try newer alsa revs, or different kernels.. i usually try that with live CD's
[22:47] <HoNgOuRu> the second one only played in the front spks
[22:47] <HoNgOuRu> ... I have 2 soundcards
[22:48] <HoNgOuRu> one onboard, and the other one is a audigy sound blaster
[22:48] <HoNgOuRu> Im really pissed off on how it is so hard to get a stable configuration
[22:48] <HoNgOuRu> from ubuntu 7.04 to now
[22:48] <HoNgOuRu> 12.04
[22:49] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: yeah. i sucks.. you should be sure to complain to the hardware vendor
[22:49] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: i usually try live CD"s.. i would also look at pulse with pavucontrol.. and consider going down to only one card
[22:50] <HoNgOuRu> I have headphones attached to the front panel of my box, that's the onboard one. but 5.1 plugged to the second soundcard
[22:54] <HoNgOuRu> Im following a guide over here, I'll tell you after robooting
[22:57] <HoNgOuRu> rebooted
