| Celltech | I have 2.7ghx cpu, 120gb hdd, and 1gb ram... and my lubuntu is still slow, still glitching at simple things, and still acting like I don't have enough ram... | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| mysteriousdarren | is the swap turned on? | 00:20 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | where can i find the file to autostart a program? I found this when googling: "Search for startup applications from Dash home. Click open it." idk what "dash" is | 01:11 |
| porwah | Hi, I setup a Lubuntu VM in VirtualBox. I can't get my mouse to scroll. I installed Fluxbox. It doesn't scroll there either. | 02:09 |
| porwah | I've been messing with xorg.conf and haven't had any luck. | 02:09 |
| porwah | Any suggestions? | 02:09 |
| Unit193 | You install the vbox extras? | 02:16 |
| porwah | Unit193, yes, I believe so | 02:50 |
| porwah | I've think I've installed them more than once | 02:50 |
| porwah | For that matter, I can't go full screen either. | 02:51 |
| Unit193 | Weird, that normally goes well with me, wonder what he had. | 03:23 |
| AmberJ_ | I have an atheros AR9285 wireless network adaptor. My laptop has a shortcut key to disable wifi when not in use. I used it to disable it. | 04:10 |
| AmberJ_ | When I enabled it after sometime, I now get "Wireless networks disconnected" message in lubuntu task bar network management icon. | 04:11 |
| AmberJ_ | When I right click on the icon in the lubuntu task bar, "Enable wireless" is checked/enabled... | 04:12 |
| AmberJ_ | *networking icon | 04:12 |
| AmberJ_ | 'lspci' output: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) | 04:13 |
| sere | is lubuntu 12.4 lts ? | 05:33 |
| jmarsden | sere: We don't have the developer resources to guarantee we can maintain a release for 5 years, so, I don't think is officially an LTS release. | 05:34 |
| Unit193 | But the core/most things other than the LXDE components are. | 05:37 |
| Unit193 | Lubuntu itself isn't. | 05:38 |
| jmarsden | lsb_release -d outputs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS -- but thats because the lsb_release package is from Ubuntu 12.04, which is an LTS release. So that is a little misleading/confusing. | 05:39 |
| AmberJ_ | I had never installed x86-64bit lubuntu... | 06:11 |
| AmberJ_ | I just got a new laptop and I am plannning to install 64-bit lubuntu. | 06:11 |
| AmberJ_ | I guess 64-bit is as 'normal' as 32 bit lubuntu... | 06:12 |
| AmberJ_ | Or, do I need to keep some issues in mind? | 06:12 |
| iceroot | AmberJ_: no it is the "same" as the 32bit version with the same programs | 06:19 |
| iceroot | AmberJ_: just with the ability to use more memory | 06:19 |
| AmberJ_ | Thanks iceroot :) | 06:35 |
| porwah | Hi, I can't get my mouse to scroll in an Lubuntu virtual machine on VirtualBox. | 11:45 |
| porwah | I have Fluxbox installed and it doesn't scroll there. | 11:46 |
| porwah | It scrolls fine in a Xubuntu vm. | 11:46 |
| porwah | Any suggestions? | 11:46 |
| leszek | hi | 18:15 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | I need help autostarting a program when I log in | 18:37 |
| leszek | n1ckn4me09876543: what is exactly the problem ? | 18:38 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | I put the code "@/usr/share/conkycolors/bin/conkyStart" also tried "/usr/share/conkycolors/bin/conkyStart &" in /.config/lxsession/Lubuntu but nothing happens | 18:39 |
| leszek | have you checked the process monitor to see if it is maybe running in the background ? | 18:40 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | Task Manager? i dont see the program name in it | 18:41 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | i went to the directory of conkyStart and execute the file and it works, just something wrong with autostart, i tried to autostart galculator and it ran fine | 18:43 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | so idk what im missing here | 18:43 |
| leszek | perhaps the script only works, if it is run from within the /usr/share/conkycolors/bin/ directory | 18:43 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | my home folder is encrypted do you think that contributes to the problem? | 18:44 |
| leszek | you could try creating a script that executes the commands you do when manually starting conkyStart (i.e. cd /usr/share/conkycolors/bin/ ; ./conkyStart) and add it to your autostart | 18:44 |
| leszek | it should be decrypted already when you entered your password at login | 18:45 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | this is the code inside conkyStart file #!/bin/bash | 18:46 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | sleep 25 && conky -c ~/.conkycolors/conkyrc; | 18:46 |
| leszek | hmm... ok | 18:46 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | so how do I add that to autostart | 18:46 |
| leszek | this should work than nevertheless | 18:46 |
| leszek | is the script set to be executable ? | 18:47 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | yea | 18:47 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | File Properties> Make the file executable | 18:47 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | if i try to do autostart of @conky another conky start up with weird looking stats lol | 18:48 |
| leszek | ok than there should be an error message that indicates why it does not start | 18:48 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | how can i find that error | 18:49 |
| leszek | try lookint into ~/.xsession-errors | 18:49 |
| leszek | perhaps you can find something regarding conky there | 18:49 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | i found a lot of this (lubuntu-software-center:1756): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed | 18:51 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | then one of this (pcmanfm:1658): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_entry_get_text: assertion `GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed | 18:51 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | but no conky | 18:51 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | brb gonna reboot trying something else | 19:07 |
| xerxes | hi im having some trouble with Lubuntu 10.04 the thing is that while in pcmanfm | 19:09 |
| xerxes | i can navigate without problem in my Desktop folder between the icons with arrow keys and run the apps with enter key.. BUT | 19:09 |
| xerxes | while native on my desktop i cant navigate the icons at all and when pressing enter nothing happens why is that? | 19:09 |
| holstein | xerxes: what icons? the ones on the desktop? i dont think thats a feature | 19:11 |
| xerxes | holstein: exactly | 19:11 |
| xerxes | for example qmmp desktop icon | 19:11 |
| xerxes | and chrome desktop icon | 19:11 |
| holstein | xerxes: i dont think thats something that is supposed to happen | 19:11 |
| xerxes | ehm me neither :S | 19:12 |
| holstein | im sure you can make it happen | 19:12 |
| xerxes | i dont know why this happend | 19:12 |
| xerxes | or how i repair it.. | 19:12 |
| holstein | xerxes: im not sure it ever worked | 19:12 |
| xerxes | feels quite stupid to reinstall for this issue.. | 19:12 |
| holstein | xerxes: i would try a new user temporarily | 19:12 |
| holstein | or try with a live CD | 19:12 |
| xerxes | well i could try a new user | 19:13 |
| xerxes | i modded my Lubuntu | 19:13 |
| xerxes | so it will autologin | 19:13 |
| xerxes | /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf | 19:13 |
| holstein | cool... you should be able to logout and log in as a different user temporarily as a test | 19:13 |
| holstein | pretty sure thats not a feature for LXDE | 19:14 |
| holstein | i dont use icons to launch like that, so i have tried | 19:14 |
| holstein | and i dont have LXDE in front of me, and the version i do have is 12.04 | 19:14 |
| xerxes | no it's 10.04 | 19:15 |
| xerxes | or more exactly Mint 9 | 19:15 |
| holstein | xerxes: correct | 19:15 |
| xerxes | but it's based on 10.04 | 19:15 |
| xerxes | and no a new user didnt work :( | 19:15 |
| xerxes | same thing | 19:15 |
| holstein | xerxes: *i* *have* 12.04 installed | 19:16 |
| holstein | xerxes: correct.. i dont think what you want happens in LXDE | 19:16 |
| xerxes | well i could use pcmanfm and just use "single click" | 19:16 |
| holstein | xerxes: mint can break that though | 19:16 |
| xerxes | dont think its a mint issue | 19:16 |
| holstein | xerxes: i would ask in a mint channel on spotchat | 19:16 |
| xerxes | if you look at this thread | 19:16 |
| holstein | xerxes: i dont think its an issue at all | 19:16 |
| xerxes | http://www.google.se/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=lxde%20run%20apps%20enter&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CGAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.lxde.org%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ff%3D8%26t%3D31354&ei=J4m-T4DVEILdtAalsPTFDQ&usg=AFQjCNE2KAOZ31F7Dj2qSByvqczPwCT_Sw | 19:17 |
| holstein | xerxes: i dont think its something that is supposed to occur is what im saying | 19:17 |
| holstein | the feature is not there | 19:17 |
| holstein | nothing is broken | 19:17 |
| xerxes | holstein: ok so it's like a bug ? | 19:17 |
| holstein | its not supposed to do that | 19:17 |
| holstein | xerxes: nope | 19:17 |
| holstein | xerxes: its not a feature, is what im proposing | 19:17 |
| xerxes | nope | 19:17 |
| holstein | xerxes: the functionality you seek is not present | 19:17 |
| xerxes | hmm :/ | 19:17 |
| xerxes | dont know why that functionality was lost for me though | 19:17 |
| xerxes | also one more thing | 19:18 |
| holstein | xerxes: how was it lost? | 19:18 |
| holstein | xerxes: when did it work? | 19:18 |
| xerxes | well | 19:18 |
| holstein | xerxes: have you asked in a mint support channel? | 19:18 |
| xerxes | it started with that i wanted to remove cups | 19:18 |
| xerxes | and like.. a loot of packages were uninstalled i know really stupid of me | 19:18 |
| xerxes | but then i dint have any window manager installed so i said oh well fuck it.. i just fix it myself | 19:18 |
| holstein | xerxes: mint is quite customized.. i would try a lubuntu live CD.. see if that funtionality is there | 19:19 |
| xerxes | im more in to try peppermint | 19:19 |
| xerxes | if i would go for something completely new | 19:19 |
| holstein | i would try something like kupfer as a launcher | 19:19 |
| holstein | xerxes: peppermint is quite a bit like lubuntu | 19:19 |
| holstein | its a custom LXDE | 19:19 |
| xerxes | yeah | 19:19 |
| holstein | quite nice.. those guys live near me actually | 19:19 |
| xerxes | but when im thinking | 19:20 |
| xerxes | it feels quite stupid to reinstall for this issue... | 19:20 |
| holstein | xerxes: agreed | 19:20 |
| xerxes | i mean i could just open pcmanfm | 19:20 |
| holstein | xerxes: maybe try kupfer | 19:20 |
| xerxes | and go to desktop folder and voila | 19:20 |
| xerxes | ok will try kupfer | 19:20 |
| holstein | xerxes: or just another FM | 19:20 |
| holstein | xerxes: or fixing what you borked by visiting a mint channel with what you removed | 19:20 |
| xerxes | i can confirm that this package is a bit weird.. | 19:21 |
| xerxes | 1 moment | 19:21 |
| holstein | this package? | 19:21 |
| holstein | you'll need to report those for the mint team | 19:21 |
| xerxes | holstein: mint-lxde-default-settings - This Package contains the default system settings for Linux Mint LXDE Edition. | 19:21 |
| xerxes | when i try to install it | 19:22 |
| xerxes | i get dependencie error telling me this | 19:22 |
| holstein | xerxes: sure.. thats mint specific though | 19:22 |
| xerxes | The following packages have unmet dependencies: mint-lxde-default-settings: Depends: pcmanfm2 but it is not installable | 19:22 |
| holstein | you could try installing lubuntu-desktop | 19:22 |
| holstein | or using the -f flag | 19:22 |
| xerxes | apt-get -f install ? | 19:22 |
| holstein | OR asking in a mint channel! | 19:22 |
| holstein | im not sure whats up with the mint versions of packages | 19:23 |
| xerxes | holstein: do you possibly know how to get the trash bin in pcmanfm ? | 19:23 |
| xerxes | on the left hand side bar ? | 19:23 |
| holstein | OR what you have forced already that could be causing breakage | 19:23 |
| holstein | xerxes: i dont know what bar you have placed on the left hand sie | 19:23 |
| holstein | side* | 19:23 |
| holstein | is it an LXDE panel? | 19:23 |
| xerxes | no in pcmanfm | 19:23 |
| xerxes | you have a sidebar | 19:23 |
| xerxes | like there are mounted volumes | 19:24 |
| holstein | i dont have mint | 19:24 |
| xerxes | your download folder | 19:24 |
| xerxes | your home folder | 19:24 |
| holstein | i dont know what they have customized | 19:24 |
| xerxes | your Desktop "folder" | 19:24 |
| holstein | but those are "bookmarks" or "shortcuts" | 19:24 |
| xerxes | yes | 19:24 |
| xerxes | do you know how to add trash bin there? | 19:24 |
| holstein | and you should be able to remove the ~/.config file if you have borked it | 19:24 |
| xerxes | i copied mine | 19:24 |
| xerxes | from mint and changed name | 19:25 |
| xerxes | to lxde-rc | 19:25 |
| holstein | cool | 19:25 |
| xerxes | or what the hell the name was :p the standard one | 19:25 |
| holstein | i would ask in a mint channel then | 19:25 |
| xerxes | holstein: hi again | 19:31 |
| lubuntu_op | Evening mates ,I just installed Lubuntu 12.04 and smplayar crashes with this error in his log http://pastebin.com/BKhXZNzV | 20:15 |
| lubuntu_op | and flash games (which worked on Linux Mint 12 LXDE and Fedora 16) are sluggish and "slow" on Lubuntu .Any way to change that | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | That looks more like the command it's passing to mplayer than an error, and what package of flash do you have? | 20:18 |
| Unit193 | dpkg -l |grep flash | 20:18 |
| lubuntu_op | Unit193: ii flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.235ubuntu0.12.04.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer | 20:20 |
| Unit193 | I don't think it'll help at all, but I always recommend adobe-flashplugin from the !partner repo. | 20:21 |
| lubuntu_op | Ill try firefox ,maybe there will be a different effect | 20:22 |
| lubuntu_op | I just hope it isnt Xorg related issue bcs I gave up last ubuntu (11.04 if I remember correctly) due to my AGP ATI x1050 card | 20:24 |
| lewellyn | tbh, i would have given up on ubuntu if it wasn't for the fact that the software i need has os requirements that intersect at xp32 or ubuntu32. can't get multi-card video working :/ | 20:26 |
| lewellyn | (also, hi!) | 20:26 |
| lewellyn | but i do have a more pressing question... how do i stop the notifications from showing up every minute or so that my nics with unplugged cables are disconnected? :/ | 20:27 |
| lubuntu_op | So far best distro (with almost everything working out of box ) was Mint 12 lxde ,for me at least . I just hope I can tweak lubuntu to work same or better. | 20:28 |
| lubuntu_op | (and yea ,Hi :)) | 20:28 |
| lewellyn | i don't want to outright disable them, but just get rid of the notifications | 20:28 |
| lewellyn | i have 4 nics with unplugged cables, so it's getting mighty annoying ;) | 20:29 |
| lubuntu_op | Well try at #ubuntu ,there is more ppl there and maybe they can help you | 20:30 |
| lewellyn | i thought that was an lxde widget thing | 20:31 |
| lubuntu_op | I would like to help you but Im new to lubuntu :D My only advice is to google like hell | 20:32 |
| lewellyn | oh, wait. i have nm-Fapplet running. i swear i didn't see that before | 20:34 |
| lewellyn | er. wtf. i got a "F" when the popup occurred that time O_o | 20:34 |
| lubuntu_op | fapplet | 20:35 |
| lubuntu_op | nice | 20:35 |
| lubuntu_op | video works normal in vlc but smplayer fails :/ | 20:36 |
| lewellyn | oh joy. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/445872 | 20:38 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 445872 in network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) "disable-disconnect-notification option ignored" [Medium,Confirmed] | 20:38 |
| lewellyn | this is just not my week | 20:38 |
| lubuntu_op | try to configure flash and xorg on my pc :D Thats a suicide mission | 20:40 |
| lewellyn | i'm guessing there isn't a lubuntu-specific replacement for nm-applet? ;) | 20:40 |
| === len is now known as Guest6287 | ||
| lubuntu_op | anyone here use Truecrypt? | 20:54 |
| lewellyn | hm. i'm starting to see screen corruption. this can't be good :/ | 20:56 |
| lubuntu_op | how do you mean? | 20:56 |
| lubuntu_op | artefacts or? | 20:56 |
| lubuntu_op | artifacts* | 20:57 |
| lewellyn | i can't describe them. i'm doing enough that my screen redraws before i can sit and figure out what i'm seeing. | 20:58 |
| lewellyn | it's happened in 3 apps so far though. | 20:58 |
| lubuntu_op | any extra drivers for your card at Preferences -> Additional Drivers? | 20:59 |
| lewellyn | "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." | 21:01 |
| lewellyn | :) | 21:01 |
| lewellyn | http://www.greenviolet.net/paste/1337893303.html is my lspci ;) | 21:01 |
| lubuntu_op | Like I said Im new to this but as much as I can read you have integrated graphic card. As before I think guys at #ubuntu will react faster with advices ,especially to a woman :D | 21:04 |
| lewellyn | i know it's an integrated card. and there are no proprietary drivers available. ;) | 21:05 |
| lewellyn | and i'm not female... | 21:05 |
| lewellyn | but now to reboot so i can pull out the 4-port nic :( | 21:06 |
| lubuntu_op | Good luck and sorry for misunderstanding ;) | 21:07 |
| lewellyn | well, at least now i don't have constant "network disconnected" popups. now i'll just get to reboot relatively often to swap the nic in and out :/ | 21:09 |
| Guest14322 | has anyone managed it to get u1sdtool (Ubuntu One) working with appropriate proxy settings? | 21:12 |
| Guest14322 | there is a ubuntuone-client-proxy package but I don't know from where this tool tries to read proxy settings | 21:14 |
| lewellyn | probably the gnome configuration, would be my guess | 21:14 |
| Guest14322 | another question - is lubuntu based on gnome or gtk? | 21:16 |
| Guest14322 | and the gnome configuration can be found in .gconf? | 21:16 |
| lubuntu_op | So any way Truecrypt can be set to open tc container without manually opening it in /media? | 21:17 |
| lewellyn | Guest14322: as for the lubuntu question, the FAQ in the channel topic may be useful | 21:19 |
| lewellyn | i would assume that you can use gconftool-2 and/or gsettings to alter the proxy info | 21:20 |
| Guest14322 | lewellyn: very interesting, found some proxy related schemas and keys pointing to host and port settings - thanks for the hint | 21:25 |
| Guest14322 | does it matter which of these tools I use? | 21:26 |
| Guest14322 | especially under Lubuntu? | 21:26 |
| lewellyn | probably :) | 21:26 |
| Guest14322 | ok, so I have to try it out | 21:27 |
| lewellyn | there's probably a package you can install which exposes the gnome proxy configuration as a gui for you | 21:27 |
| Guest14322 | lewellyn: lxproxy looks promising | 21:31 |
| Guest14322 | I will give it tomorrow a try | 21:32 |
| Guest14322 | hm, cannot be found in the official repos | 21:32 |
| Guest14322 | what a pity | 21:33 |
| Guest14322 | bye | 21:34 |
| lubuntu_op | is there any safe setting for bleach bit? | 21:59 |
| lubuntu_op | dont wonna mess up anything | 21:59 |
| Unit193 | That program is just supposed to clean/wipe files of other programs and not the system, so without looking at it I'd think it should be safe enough, what would make you think otherwise? | 22:00 |
| lubuntu_op | Well on windows I know what i safe (more/less) on ubuntu I can only trust bleach bit devs :D | 22:13 |
| lubuntu_op | Well Im off ,so far lubuntu seems really fast,(so far) stable and good looking. Good night | 22:37 |
| wxl | that's cuz it is :) | 22:37 |
| lewellyn | wxl: i can't concur on the stability point, as stability also includes "doesn't require you to remove cards to shut up the os" in my book :/ | 22:59 |
| lewellyn | but so far, it looks to be ubuntu bugs, not lubuntu-specific, at least! | 23:00 |
| wxl | yeah haven't had that issue lewellyn | 23:00 |
| lewellyn | wxl: i've had 3 issues so far... 1) cannot successfully boot with pci video card installed alongside the onboard graphics (unique to ubuntu). 2) network manager insists upon constantly reminding me that 4 nic ports are disconnected. 3) i got a notification that my keyboard's batteries are dead. it's ps/2 :/ | 23:02 |
| wxl | 1. never had that problem before and i have such a situation tho that computer does not have 12.04 on it yet | 23:05 |
| wxl | 2. network-manager is a pain sometimes. try wicd. | 23:05 |
| wxl | 3. try removing bluetooth modules | 23:06 |
| wxl | lewellyn: ^ | 23:06 |
| lewellyn | 1. i suspect the problem would be lessened if the secondary monitor supported more than 2 resolutions. :/ | 23:06 |
| lewellyn | 2. isn't wicd for wireless? | 23:06 |
| wxl | ohhh right right | 23:06 |
| lewellyn | 3. i plan on adding a bluetooth dongle when things upset me less | 23:06 |
| wxl | wicd does wired and wireless | 23:07 |
| lewellyn | hm. | 23:07 |
| wxl | maybe it thinks you have a usb keyboard? | 23:08 |
| wxl | i would try removing bluetooth modules first and see if that is indeed the problem with the keyboard | 23:08 |
| wxl | if not then you can look at what usb keyboard driver it's loading and disable that | 23:08 |
| lewellyn | i'm atm considering whether to stick with ubuntu on this box though. it's been almost a week and i'm still not in a usable state. and it looks like one of the pieces of software i installed for (trying to do common-denominator os thing across multiple software products) may not actually have a linux build right now :/ | 23:09 |
| lewellyn | i'm just confused why it'd say a ps/2 keyboard has low batteries. i couldn't get it to recognize my usb keyboard so i had to whip out a ps/2 keyboard | 23:09 |
| wxl | now it may have detected a usb keyboard | 23:09 |
| wxl | so it loaded usb keybaord modules | 23:10 |
| lewellyn | but there are none :/ | 23:10 |
| wxl | right now, you're sure? | 23:10 |
| wxl | go through modprobe -l and check | 23:10 |
| lewellyn | http://www.greenviolet.net/paste/1337901059.html is my lsusb output | 23:11 |
| wxl | go through modprobe -l | 23:11 |

| lewellyn | ugh | 23:12 |
| wxl | i wouldn't necessarily expect it to be named "usb" | 23:12 |
| wxl | i don't have a usb keyboard so i don't know | 23:12 |
| lewellyn | that was to cut it down from 3526 lines | 23:12 |
| wxl | but drivers tend to have unexpected names | 23:12 |
| lewellyn | kernel/drivers/hid/usbhid/usbkbd.ko | 23:13 |
| lewellyn | i think that's always loaded though | 23:13 |
| lewellyn | without the hid drivers, it can't detect if you plug in a hid device iirc | 23:14 |
| lewellyn | but as my lsusb shows, i don't actually have anything plugged into a usb port | 23:14 |
| lewellyn | oh wait. that's a mouse hooked up on the last line | 23:16 |
| lewellyn | it's about time for me to go and have coffee before i start ranting about how, after a dozen years of "this is the year of the linux desktop!", it's far from it. | 23:17 |
