| Osmodivs1 | Yeah, the ( is the problem | 00:00 |

| Osmodivs1 | How should I've guessed about that \ inside the )?? | 00:00 |
| Osmodivs1 | wxl: Thank you very much | 00:00 |
| Osmodivs1 | Someone should fix the Terminal so it can autocomplete this kind of stuff | 00:01 |
| Unit193 | It does, if you know how to use it. | 00:01 |
| Osmodivs1 | come on, it can't be that hard for you guys! | 00:01 |
| Osmodivs1 | oh... | 00:01 |
| Sentynel | Osmodivs1: press tab in terminal to complete the current item to the next ambiguous point; press tab twice to list all the possibilities if it's at an ambiguous point. backslashes are used to signify that a character is used literally, rather than as a control/syntax character for the terminal | 00:15 |

| s-fox | Hello. | 11:14 |
| bioterror | hi | 11:15 |
| bioterror | what brings s-fox here?-) | 11:15 |
| bioterror | to the darkest corner of the ubuntu derivatives | 11:15 |
| s-fox | I dropped by to see if the lubuntu team need any assistance moving tutorials from the forums to the the official wiki bioterror . | 11:16 |
| bioterror | if the forums has userful information, why not | 11:17 |
| bioterror | useful even | 11:17 |
| nothingspecial | I think we need to wait until they have a new Documentation lead first s-fox | 11:19 |
| s-fox | All useful / up to date tutorials are to be moved to be moved to the wiki bioterror , regardless of distribution | 11:19 |
| head_victim | nothingspecial: I don't think we need any waiting. If people have the time and the inclination they should just do. | 11:36 |
| nothingspecial | ok head_victim | 11:38 |
| s-fox | nothingspecial, I was not aware that a new lead has not been appointed. I shall leave you to reorganise then. | 11:39 |
| bioterror | might take a while to reorganise | 11:39 |
| nothingspecial | ha ha ha | 11:39 |
| head_victim | The whole idea of a wiki is the bar for entry is low so that anyone and everyone can be a contributor. If we have to wait for permission to add information then all is lost. | 11:39 |
| head_victim | If you want to completely reorganise the way it's presented that might be something to discuss but if it's just a transfer of data and you have the time, I say, go for it :) | 11:40 |

| Homely_Girl | I am using irc on my mobile, please be patient | 12:16 |
| Homely_Girl | Yes, I've installed lubuntu, having major hassles connecting to internet visa mobile broadband dongle. | 12:18 |
| Homely_Girl | It'll connect now and then not again | 12:18 |
| Homely_Girl | It's an inconsistent problem. | 12:19 |
| Homely_Girl | Sod's law is it's working nite I got here!! | 12:20 |
| Homely_Girl | Did I frighten u all away?? | 12:20 |
| pibarnas | Homely_Girl, are u sure it's a SO problem? Not an internet provider or modem one? | 12:20 |
| Homely_Girl | no not sure....will cone back to u | 12:21 |
| cheryl | Hi..... | 12:31 |
| Yos | hello | 12:31 |
| pibarnas | hi | 12:31 |
| cheryl | It's me, the drowning person! lol | 12:31 |
| cheryl | See, now it's working, if I shutdown 'n come back in 5 mins, it won't connect lol | 12:32 |
| cheryl | I had problems with Ubuntu too, seems to be an issue with huawei modem (is from Three) | 12:32 |
| Yos | I always had those problems with them dongles | 12:32 |
| cheryl | Yeah? Well landline is not an option for me :( | 12:33 |
| pibarnas | cheryl, I use one. I don't have these kind of issue. | 12:33 |
| cheryl | How did u overcome 'em Yos? | 12:33 |
| cheryl | pibarnas, which company is yours from? | 12:33 |
| Yos | I sold all 3 of them off and got a landline, one of them was also a huawei, if that is how you spell it | 12:34 |
| pibarnas | cheryl, it's a Brazilian one, called claro. | 12:34 |
| cheryl | You're in Milan, I am in Wales, this is not helpful. lol | 12:34 |
| cheryl | okay, another one for you.....I am trying to install restricted extras 'n my installer keeps crashing? | 12:35 |
| pibarnas | cheryl, I use it with lubuntu and fedora, without issues I can attribute to hardware. | 12:35 |
| cheryl | now if I try to apt-get it it tells me there is another process runnign. | 12:36 |
| pibarnas | cheryl, another thing I've done just after installed lubuntu. | 12:36 |
| cheryl | pibarnas, I'm not even sure if it's available here in UK, if not I'll see if I can get one on ebay | 12:36 |
| pibarnas | cheryl, get one? | 12:37 |
| cheryl | yes, a claro dongle. | 12:37 |
| pibarnas | cheryl, nope, I think I was misunderstood. Claro is the provider. Dongle is huawei, too. | 12:38 |
| cheryl | OOOOH!! | 12:39 |
| cheryl | Well I'm perplexed, it's working now, lemme shutdown 'n go make a cuppa 'n see if it works upon my return. | 12:39 |
| cheryl | bbiab | 12:40 |
| pibarnas | cheryl, what I was trying to say, is that can be your provider issue... | 12:40 |

| mikildemion | morning/evening/afternoon all. I have an interesting issue dealing with desktop launchers. lubuntu 12.04 fresh install, fully updated. The issue is that any .desktop with a Terminal=true setting fails to work. Remove the Terminal line or change it to false and it work, but no terminal window of course. | 16:02 |
| pibarnas1 | weird, .desktop with Terminal=true are launched through pcmanfm, but not from panel menu... | 16:23 |
| mikildemion | it acts like Terminal=true is a invalid command. But its not. Even using the gui setup it fails. I'm at a loss on this one. I tried changing from lxterminal to xterm and updating the config files. same thing. No change | 16:26 |
| pibarnas1 | mikildemion: for me, calling graphically works, except from the menu. | 16:28 |
| mikildemion | what do you mean by calling graphically works? | 16:28 |
| pibarnas1 | mikildemion: through menu, the term seems to opened, but freeze. | 16:29 |
| mikildemion | not talking menu items. I'm talking desktop. as in the ~/Desktop directory. | 16:30 |
| pibarnas1 | mikildemion: graphically, go to ~/.local/share/applications/weechat.desktop and run it, doulbe clicking on the proper icon, for instance. | 16:30 |
| pibarnas1 | mikildemion: it's case sensitive, are you putting Terminal=True? | 16:31 |
| mikildemion | tried it both ways | 16:31 |
| mikildemion | OK I copied the file (test.desktop) from ~/Desktop to ~/.local/share/applications using pcmanfm. Double clicked on it, nothing, right clicked on it and chose open, nothing. | 16:36 |
| mikildemion | this is the internals of the file: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Name=test Name[en_US]=test Exec=ping 192.168.1.14 Comment[en_US]= Terminal=false all on each line of course | 16:37 |
| mikildemion | Sorry Terminal=true is set, not false. | 16:38 |
| pibarnas | brb | 16:54 |
| pmatulis | so we are rudderless? pity | 16:55 |

| cheryl | sorry Unit193 | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | [13:53:30] < Unit193> Either open synaptic and search for lubuntu, or open a terminal and type (copy) sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | [13:53:31] < ~mikildemion> menu -> preferences -> Additional Drivers | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | Depending on what you need, there's the answer. :D | 19:06 |
| cheryl | Oooh, let's see if it works.... | 19:06 |
| cheryl | Okay, Batman it's blank, says no proprietry drivers are in use. | 19:07 |
| cheryl | need flash | 19:07 |
| cheryl | in Ubuntu it's all covered in "restricted extras" | 19:07 |
| Unit193 | unit193@Sigma:~$ apt-cache depends lubuntu-restricted-addons | 19:08 |
| Unit193 | |Recommends: adobe-flashplugin | 19:08 |
| Unit193 | Recommends: flashplugin-installer | 19:08 |
| Unit193 | You need to enable the partner repo, and install the first one (and uninstall the second) | 19:09 |
| Unit193 | !partner | 19:09 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 19:09 |
| cheryl | with "?? | 19:10 |
| cheryl | Unit193, I have a headache already lol | 19:11 |
| cheryl | I'm not a knowledgeable geek :( | 19:11 |
| Unit193 | Open a terminal and paste sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 19:13 |
| cheryl | paste everything from sudo to flashplugin?? | 19:16 |
| cheryl | Sorry, just seemed alot | 19:16 |
| cheryl | lol | 19:16 |
| Unit193 | Yep, I made a few commands into one. | 19:16 |
| cheryl | It's doing stuff!! | 19:17 |
| cheryl | I may very well have 2 kiss you! lol I would've married u but you're in the USA! :P | 19:18 |

| uvtc | Hi. I recently installed Emacs 24 by adding the ppa:cassou/emacs repository. The install went fine, but now apt is telling me it wants to install various gnome/unity packages. Anyone else run into this? | 19:19 |
| cheryl | Yeah but I would want u to move here!! lol I have a daughter here I can't move, she lives with Daddy! | 19:19 |
| cheryl | Right, now Batman, how do I stop the system asking me for a password for EVERYTHING??? I live alone, no one else touches my pc!! lol I went into users 'n made myself Administrator, 'cos I'm sure I heard somewhere once it's not good to be root! lol | 19:20 |
| cheryl | I was married 2 a computer engineer, am divorced so no longer receiving updates! lol | 19:21 |
| Unit193 | The idea for that is so in case you accidently run a script that wants to run as root, it'll ask you your password and you go "wait a second, why does it need that?" and doesn't harm your computer then. | 19:22 |
| * cheryl rolls her eyes | 19:23 | |
| cheryl | OH okay!! | 19:23 |
| pibarnas | sudo? | 19:24 |
| uvtc | cheryl, it's good that the system asks you for a password for certain tasks. It actually often protects you from making various silly mistakes that we all make from time to time. You'll get faster at typing it. :) | 19:24 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, why it keeps asking even though she's the only one ever touching her computer. | 19:24 |
| cheryl | sudo I understand, but if I do ANYTHING, like when I have to go into VPN settings to delete the modem connection to restart 'cos it won't connect, it asks for passwords ALL the time. | 19:25 |
| bioterror | cheryl, system wide settings requires passwords | 19:25 |
| cheryl | uvtc, LMAO good one | 19:25 |
| uvtc | cheryl, if you're at the command line, you can run `sudo -i` to become root. | 19:25 |
| cheryl | thank you | 19:25 |
| cheryl | Do any of you know of existing conflicts with the mobile b/band dongle Huawei and the mobile network Three?? | 19:26 |
| pibarnas | cheryl, in /etc/sudoers you configure sudo. There you can enable no password for programs. | 19:26 |
| cheryl | pibarnas, now you're poking my headache lol | 19:26 |
| cheryl | I'll just comply to using my p/word | 19:27 |
| cheryl | Somebody slap me!! Updates is just sitting there progress thingy not moving, so I read....for a change & it's waiting for a response from me!! DOH!!! | 19:28 |
| cheryl | Wait...updates is saying "waiting for apt-get to exit", so went to terminal 'n it's not asking a question 'n not doing nowt?? | 19:29 |
