[00:00] i could see where the ( might cause a fil [00:00] fail [00:00] Unit193: Nope, it will not autocomplete [00:00] Yeah, the ( is the problem [00:00] Osmodivs1: use the above [00:00] How should I've guessed about that \ inside the )?? [00:00] wxl: Thank you very much [00:01] Someone should fix the Terminal so it can autocomplete this kind of stuff [00:01] It does, if you know how to use it. [00:01] come on, it can't be that hard for you guys! [00:01] oh... [00:15] 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 === EvilResistance is now known as Resistance [04:53] i am geting some weird video artifacts with lubuntu [04:53] Lubuntu software center freezes a lot [04:54] i read that lubuntu runs faster than xubuntu but this does not seem to be the case for me [10:04] HI!! [10:05] mi3, welcome to the lubuntu support channel [10:06] thank you! [10:06] join #lubuntu-offtopic for chat [10:07] I need some assistance on sed and grep, I am trying to get some information from iplocation.net, and I would like to know how to get that info, like ip address, region [10:09] half-duplex, I need some assistance, am not here to chat [10:10] if someone can help, they will [10:11] ok [10:20] hi [10:22] hi [10:22] how are y? [10:23] hi [10:24] man fine [10:25] this is a help channel, move over to chat channel, if you are in a mood to chat :D [11:14] Hello. [11:15] hi [11:15] what brings s-fox here?-) [11:15] to the darkest corner of the ubuntu derivatives [11:16] I dropped by to see if the lubuntu team need any assistance moving tutorials from the forums to the the official wiki bioterror . [11:17] if the forums has userful information, why not [11:17] useful even [11:19] I think we need to wait until they have a new Documentation lead first s-fox [11:19] All useful / up to date tutorials are to be moved to be moved to the wiki bioterror , regardless of distribution [11:36] nothingspecial: I don't think we need any waiting. If people have the time and the inclination they should just do. [11:38] ok head_victim [11:39] nothingspecial, I was not aware that a new lead has not been appointed. I shall leave you to reorganise then. [11:39] might take a while to reorganise [11:39] ha ha ha [11:39] 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. [11:40] 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 :) [12:16] Help!! [12:16] Homely_Girl, ? [12:16] are you drowning ? [12:16] I am using irc on my mobile, please be patient [12:18] Yes, I've installed lubuntu, having major hassles connecting to internet visa mobile broadband dongle. [12:18] It'll connect now and then not again [12:19] It's an inconsistent problem. [12:20] Sod's law is it's working nite I got here!! [12:20] Did I frighten u all away?? [12:20] Homely_Girl, are u sure it's a SO problem? Not an internet provider or modem one? [12:21] no not sure....will cone back to u [12:31] Hi..... [12:31] hello [12:31] hi [12:31] It's me, the drowning person! lol [12:32] See, now it's working, if I shutdown 'n come back in 5 mins, it won't connect lol [12:32] I had problems with Ubuntu too, seems to be an issue with huawei modem (is from Three) [12:32] I always had those problems with them dongles [12:33] Yeah? Well landline is not an option for me :( [12:33] cheryl, I use one. I don't have these kind of issue. [12:33] How did u overcome 'em Yos? [12:33] pibarnas, which company is yours from? [12:34] 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] cheryl, it's a Brazilian one, called claro. [12:34] You're in Milan, I am in Wales, this is not helpful. lol [12:35] okay, another one for you.....I am trying to install restricted extras 'n my installer keeps crashing? [12:35] cheryl, I use it with lubuntu and fedora, without issues I can attribute to hardware. [12:36] now if I try to apt-get it it tells me there is another process runnign. [12:36] cheryl, another thing I've done just after installed lubuntu. [12:36] 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 [12:37] cheryl, get one? [12:37] yes, a claro dongle. [12:38] cheryl, nope, I think I was misunderstood. Claro is the provider. Dongle is huawei, too. [12:39] OOOOH!! [12:39] Well I'm perplexed, it's working now, lemme shutdown 'n go make a cuppa 'n see if it works upon my return. [12:40] bbiab [12:40] cheryl, what I was trying to say, is that can be your provider issue... [13:44] How to configure conky on lubuntu ? [14:01] what's a good on screen keyboard to use ? [14:08] well onBoard sux [14:09] any suggestions ? [14:38] dunno, check the web [14:48] I'm not having any luck finding one that works on lubuntu [16:02] 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. [16:23] weird, .desktop with Terminal=true are launched through pcmanfm, but not from panel menu... [16:26] 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 [16:28] mikildemion: for me, calling graphically works, except from the menu. [16:28] what do you mean by calling graphically works? [16:29] mikildemion: through menu, the term seems to opened, but freeze. [16:30] not talking menu items. I'm talking desktop. as in the ~/Desktop directory. [16:30] mikildemion: graphically, go to ~/.local/share/applications/weechat.desktop and run it, doulbe clicking on the proper icon, for instance. [16:31] mikildemion: it's case sensitive, are you putting Terminal=True? [16:31] tried it both ways [16:36] 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. [16:37] 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 [16:38] Sorry Terminal=true is set, not false. [16:54] brb [16:55] so we are rudderless? pity [17:51] * cheryl looks around 'n sheepishly says hello? [17:52] Is there anybody in there? [17:52] How do I install restricted extras on lubuntu plse? [17:53] Either open synaptic and search for lubuntu, or open a terminal and type (copy) sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras [17:53] menu -> preferences -> Additional Drivers [17:53] Dagnabbit. === Duke is now known as duke_afk [19:01] Hello [19:04] cheryl: howdy [19:04] i agree [19:04] but [19:04] Whoo hoo, someone's here!! [19:05] how many times have you contacted a mailing list, forum, irc channel, etc and got nothing? [19:05] it's happened a million times to me [19:05] cheryl: Two of us answered you, but you didn't wait long enough to see. [19:05] oops [19:05] wxl: Wrong window, mate. [19:05] sorry wrong channel :O [19:05] sigh..... [19:05] gosh, at least old habits don't die hard [19:05] sorry Unit193 [19:05] [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] [13:53:31] < ~mikildemion> menu -> preferences -> Additional Drivers [19:06] Depending on what you need, there's the answer. :D [19:06] Oooh, let's see if it works.... [19:07] Okay, Batman it's blank, says no proprietry drivers are in use. [19:07] need flash [19:07] in Ubuntu it's all covered in "restricted extras" [19:08] unit193@Sigma:~$ apt-cache depends lubuntu-restricted-addons [19:08] |Recommends: adobe-flashplugin [19:08] Recommends: flashplugin-installer [19:09] You need to enable the partner repo, and install the first one (and uninstall the second) [19:09] !partner [19:09] 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" » [19:10] with "?? [19:11] Unit193, I have a headache already lol [19:11] I'm not a knowledgeable geek :( [19:13] 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 [19:16] paste everything from sudo to flashplugin?? [19:16] Sorry, just seemed alot [19:16] lol [19:16] Yep, I made a few commands into one. [19:17] It's doing stuff!! [19:18] I may very well have 2 kiss you! lol I would've married u but you're in the USA! :P [19:18] Please don't panic, I am not a stalker, just my off beat sense of humour. [19:18] well, you could get greencard ;D [19:19] 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] Yeah but I would want u to move here!! lol I have a daughter here I can't move, she lives with Daddy! [19:20] 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 [19:21] I was married 2 a computer engineer, am divorced so no longer receiving updates! lol [19:22] 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. [19:23] * cheryl rolls her eyes [19:23] OH okay!! [19:24] sudo? [19:24] 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] Yeah, why it keeps asking even though she's the only one ever touching her computer. [19:25] 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] cheryl, system wide settings requires passwords [19:25] uvtc, LMAO good one [19:25] cheryl, if you're at the command line, you can run `sudo -i` to become root. [19:25] thank you [19:26] Do any of you know of existing conflicts with the mobile b/band dongle Huawei and the mobile network Three?? [19:26] cheryl, in /etc/sudoers you configure sudo. There you can enable no password for programs. [19:26] pibarnas, now you're poking my headache lol [19:27] I'll just comply to using my p/word [19:28] 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!!! [19:29] 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] Is okay I was just too impatient again, it was a y/n quessie, is working again lol [19:30] Please don't ban me from here for being an eedjit! lol [19:30] who yacks too much! lol [19:31] Unit193, It's finished now, does that mean all is fixed?? Do I need to restart the browser? [19:31] Aye. [19:31] * cheryl plants a kiss firmly on Unit's lips [19:32] Unit193, Thank you SOO much....well I ain't checked it yet! lol [19:32] Might want too, flash can be weird. [19:32] Okay, I never thought I'd say this....but is it possible to move the x back to the left like it had become in Ubuntu & I got used to?? [19:33] x, close 'n minimise/maximise functions on window or proggy that is. === duke_afk is now known as Duke [19:33] cheryl, yep. [19:34] pibarnas, how do I do it plse? [19:34] cheryl, obconf has its option. [19:34] pibarnas, and in layman's terms that's??? [19:35] It's a program. [19:35] Unit193, flash not working! [19:35] open obconf and find something like buttons order. [19:35] ok, ta [19:36] cheryl, mine isn't in English so I have no idea how it's written in English. [19:36] What browser? And what site are you checking/mainly going to use? [19:37] Unit193, Is chrome and firefox, at mo only got chrome [19:38] pibarnas, found obconf, just went to "run" and tyed it in! [19:38] Now trying 2 figure it all out! [19:38] Chrome or Chromium? Chrome has pepperflash. [19:39] chromium...what came with installation. [19:40] brb nature's call! [19:40] Type in a terminal: dpkg -l |grep flash and see what pulls up, if it's long use pastebin.com [19:40] cheryl, it's in the second tab, the one which has font configuration. [19:42] kk [19:43] right, pib, I'm there 'n drawing a blank. [19:43] cheryl, try to change the order for CMILN. You can play with it. [19:43] You solved it just my saying CMILN...'cos mine's in another order!! ;) [19:44] You want a kiss too, don't ya! lol [19:44] sORTED!! [19:44] Now I'm back with u Unit193 [19:45] Lemme open a terminal.... [19:45] Here u go, it's not too long [19:45] ii adobe-flash-properties-gtk 11.2.202.235-0precise1 GTK+ control panel for Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11 [19:45] ii adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.235-0precise1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11 [19:45] cheryl@cheryl-SCENIC-P-SCENICO-P:~$ [19:46] That's about what I have and it works in firefox. You said you restarted both and it only worked in chromium? You could open Tools > Addons and click the plugins to see what it has loaded, alternitively you can open about:plugins in firefox url bar. [19:47] No Unit193 I only have Chromium installed but will be d/loading firefox. Need it to work in chromium for my 5 yr old to play on bbc kids website. [19:48] Oh, then I misunderstood you. [19:48] okay, I think I need valium!! It's working now!! [19:48] well cbeebies is working. [19:48] cheryl, here I uninstalled chromium and installed chrome, but it was just a matter of choice. [19:49] pibarnas, thank you kind sir. [19:49] * cheryl kisses pibarnas on the cheek, wouldn't want Unit193 to get jealous!! lol [19:50] Unit193, see it won't work on www.ukcb.com where I chat in various chat rooms [19:50] says I'm missing a plugin [19:51] pibarnas: How do you like it? Does it run better? [19:51] I'm a bit curious if the Flash plugin is better optimized [19:52] cheryl: It should have a button that says what plugin, and pibarnas has a point with using Chrome. [19:53] Unit193, I'll d/load Chrome 'n see hot it goes, d/loading Firefox now, I like to keep my 5 yr old on Chrome 'n away from my browser & am more familiar with Firefox. === len is now known as Guest48005 [19:55] will_, I was trying to find the url I read chromium might not support all chrome plugins... And I decided to install the last one, then. [19:55] ah ok [19:55] Unit193, it does but doesn't, but let's not stress, I got Chrome d/loading now. [19:56] * cheryl group hugs all you guys for keeping me proudly opensource!! [19:56] I didn't find the url, but that's the motive. [19:56] Couldn't do it without your collective brains! [19:57] Imagine I use synaptic to uninstall chromium? [19:57] I must say I don't have this kind of issues and I think the decision of chromium is the browser may have the same genesis mp3 aren't support out-of-the-box. [19:59] Chome isn't opensource, but has the latest pepperflash, soo.... [19:59] Unit193, you enable me to live in a MS free zone!! Of that I'm proud! :) [20:01] Woman cannot live on linux alone....going for a snack while synaptic uninstalls chromium 'n installs firefox! :) [20:01] bbiab [20:06] Women can, and I know a few sysadmins that do. [20:11] Unit193, I guess all the bits we installed earlier cover firefox 'n chrome? [20:11] Chome has it's own, last I knew, but firefox should anyway. [20:12] Thank you!! [20:12] I shall go, feed my face 'n then enjoy!! Will be back if I need y'all. Thanks so much! xxx [20:13] Have a good one. [20:13] ty 'n see u soon no doubt! [20:23] Unit193, Don't scream, it's java, not flash!! lol [20:23] Unit193, I have Chrome installed, was easier to determine which plugin missing with it... [20:24] sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin openjdk-6-jre [20:24] Unit193, So when do I have your children? lol [20:25] Might be a little less than family friendly there. (As in, content, we try to keep it family friendly in here) [20:26] * cheryl considers herself told!! [20:44] I've got what is probably an embarrasingly simple question if anyone is available. [20:44] As it says, don't wait to ask, just ask then wait. [20:44] SpyderZ: Sure, ask away [20:45] What does it mean when you send a command to the terminal and it dumps you to a > [20:45] That generally means you have a unclosed quote in there. [20:45] Can mean a few things though., [20:46] What command did you run? [20:47] SpyderZ: we all know because we do it all the time [20:47] Hehehe, it was as easy as that... (I think, let me check to be sure.) I was using ' instead of " as the article I'd pulled up used them. [20:47] What? Who said that? <_< >_> [20:47] :D [20:49] It worked! ^.^ As I thought, something simple. ;? [20:49] Been there, done that.... [20:50] many times ........ [20:52] Now, before I dig, can a "Symbolic Link" have different name than the file it links to? [20:54] Yep. [20:54] ln --help [20:54] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ln [20:55] SpyderZ: ln -s blah blag [20:55] mv blag hmmm [20:55] hmmm still links to blah [20:55] You can check where with ls -l [20:56] Reading... (I need to remember that --help exists for "Everything". ;P) [20:56] Really? Have you ever tried echo --help? I know I have... [20:56] I got that the wrong way round by the way SpyderZ [20:56] but yes you can [20:56] >.< [21:13] Thank you all. ^.^ And hopefully I don't come barging in here with such silly questions in the future. ;P [21:22] I try to install wireless on lubuntu 10.4 but not work,- windows wireless driver recognaize my hardware? [21:23] tata: How does it not work? Is it not recognized by the system? Does it not connect to the AP? [21:24] recognized after I install .inf file from cd [21:25] I have: hardware present: yes
