[00:02] 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... [00:20] is the swap turned on? [01:11] 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 [02:09] 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] I've been messing with xorg.conf and haven't had any luck. [02:09] Any suggestions? [02:16] You install the vbox extras? [02:50] Unit193, yes, I believe so [02:50] I've think I've installed them more than once [02:51] For that matter, I can't go full screen either. [03:23] Weird, that normally goes well with me, wonder what he had. [04:10] 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. [04:11] When I enabled it after sometime, I now get "Wireless networks disconnected" message in lubuntu task bar network management icon. [04:12] When I right click on the icon in the lubuntu task bar, "Enable wireless" is checked/enabled... [04:12] *networking icon [04:13] 'lspci' output: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [05:33] is lubuntu 12.4 lts ? [05:34] 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. [05:37] But the core/most things other than the LXDE components are. [05:38] Lubuntu itself isn't. [05:39] 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. [06:11] I had never installed x86-64bit lubuntu... [06:11] I just got a new laptop and I am plannning to install 64-bit lubuntu. [06:12] I guess 64-bit is as 'normal' as 32 bit lubuntu... [06:12] Or, do I need to keep some issues in mind? [06:19] AmberJ_: no it is the "same" as the 32bit version with the same programs [06:19] AmberJ_: just with the ability to use more memory [06:35] Thanks iceroot :) [11:45] Hi, I can't get my mouse to scroll in an Lubuntu virtual machine on VirtualBox. [11:46] I have Fluxbox installed and it doesn't scroll there. [11:46] It scrolls fine in a Xubuntu vm. [11:46] Any suggestions? [18:15] hi [18:37] I need help autostarting a program when I log in [18:38] n1ckn4me09876543: what is exactly the problem ? [18:39] I put the code "@/usr/share/conkycolors/bin/conkyStart" also tried "/usr/share/conkycolors/bin/conkyStart &" in /.config/lxsession/Lubuntu but nothing happens [18:40] have you checked the process monitor to see if it is maybe running in the background ? [18:41] Task Manager? i dont see the program name in it [18:43] 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] so idk what im missing here [18:43] perhaps the script only works, if it is run from within the /usr/share/conkycolors/bin/ directory [18:44] my home folder is encrypted do you think that contributes to the problem? [18:44] 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 [18:45] it should be decrypted already when you entered your password at login [18:46] this is the code inside conkyStart file #!/bin/bash [18:46] sleep 25 && conky -c ~/.conkycolors/conkyrc; [18:46] hmm... ok [18:46] so how do I add that to autostart [18:46] this should work than nevertheless [18:47] is the script set to be executable ? [18:47] yea [18:47] File Properties> Make the file executable [18:48] if i try to do autostart of @conky another conky start up with weird looking stats lol [18:48] ok than there should be an error message that indicates why it does not start [18:49] how can i find that error [18:49] try lookint into ~/.xsession-errors [18:49] perhaps you can find something regarding conky there [18:51] 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] then one of this (pcmanfm:1658): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_entry_get_text: assertion `GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed [18:51] but no conky [19:07] brb gonna reboot trying something else [19:09] hi im having some trouble with Lubuntu 10.04 the thing is that while in pcmanfm [19:09] 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] while native on my desktop i cant navigate the icons at all and when pressing enter nothing happens why is that? [19:11] xerxes: what icons? the ones on the desktop? i dont think thats a feature [19:11] holstein: exactly [19:11] for example qmmp desktop icon [19:11] and chrome desktop icon [19:11] xerxes: i dont think thats something that is supposed to happen [19:12] ehm me neither :S [19:12] im sure you can make it happen [19:12] i dont know why this happend [19:12] or how i repair it.. [19:12] xerxes: im not sure it ever worked [19:12] feels quite stupid to reinstall for this issue.. [19:12] xerxes: i would try a new user temporarily [19:12] or try with a live CD [19:13] well i could try a new user [19:13] i modded my Lubuntu [19:13] so it will autologin [19:13] /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf [19:13] cool... you should be able to logout and log in as a different user temporarily as a test [19:14] pretty sure thats not a feature for LXDE [19:14] i dont use icons to launch like that, so i have tried [19:14] and i dont have LXDE in front of me, and the version i do have is 12.04 [19:15] no it's 10.04 [19:15] or more exactly Mint 9 [19:15] xerxes: correct [19:15] but it's based on 10.04 [19:15] and no a new user didnt work :( [19:15] same thing [19:16] xerxes: *i* *have* 12.04 installed [19:16] xerxes: correct.. i dont think what you want happens in LXDE [19:16] well i could use pcmanfm and just use "single click" [19:16] xerxes: mint can break that though [19:16] dont think its a mint issue [19:16] xerxes: i would ask in a mint channel on spotchat [19:16] if you look at this thread [19:16] xerxes: i dont think its an issue at all [19:17] 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] xerxes: i dont think its something that is supposed to occur is what im saying [19:17] the feature is not there [19:17] nothing is broken [19:17] holstein: ok so it's like a bug ? [19:17] its not supposed to do that [19:17] xerxes: nope [19:17] xerxes: its not a feature, is what im proposing [19:17] nope [19:17] xerxes: the functionality you seek is not present [19:17] hmm :/ [19:17] dont know why that functionality was lost for me though [19:18] also one more thing [19:18] xerxes: how was it lost? [19:18] xerxes: when did it work? [19:18] well [19:18] xerxes: have you asked in a mint support channel? [19:18] it started with that i wanted to remove cups [19:18] and like.. a loot of packages were uninstalled i know really stupid of me [19:18] but then i dint have any window manager installed so i said oh well fuck it.. i just fix it myself [19:19] xerxes: mint is quite customized.. i would try a lubuntu live CD.. see if that funtionality is there [19:19] im more in to try peppermint [19:19] if i would go for something completely new [19:19] i would try something like kupfer as a launcher [19:19] xerxes: peppermint is quite a bit like lubuntu [19:19] its a custom LXDE [19:19] yeah [19:19] quite nice.. those guys live near me actually [19:20] but when im thinking [19:20] it feels quite stupid to reinstall for this issue... [19:20] xerxes: agreed [19:20] i mean i could just open pcmanfm [19:20] xerxes: maybe try kupfer [19:20] and go to desktop folder and voila [19:20] ok will try kupfer [19:20] xerxes: or just another FM [19:20] xerxes: or fixing what you borked by visiting a mint channel with what you removed [19:21] i can confirm that this package is a bit weird.. [19:21] 1 moment [19:21] this package? [19:21] you'll need to report those for the mint team [19:21] holstein: mint-lxde-default-settings - This Package contains the default system settings for Linux Mint LXDE Edition. [19:22] when i try to install it [19:22] i get dependencie error telling me this [19:22] xerxes: sure.. thats mint specific though [19:22] The following packages have unmet dependencies: mint-lxde-default-settings: Depends: pcmanfm2 but it is not installable [19:22] you could try installing lubuntu-desktop [19:22] or using the -f flag [19:22] apt-get -f install ? [19:22] OR asking in a mint channel! [19:23] im not sure whats up with the mint versions of packages [19:23] holstein: do you possibly know how to get the trash bin in pcmanfm ? [19:23] on the left hand side bar ? [19:23] OR what you have forced already that could be causing breakage [19:23] xerxes: i dont know what bar you have placed on the left hand sie [19:23] side* [19:23] is it an LXDE panel? [19:23] no in pcmanfm [19:23] you have a sidebar [19:24] like there are mounted volumes [19:24] i dont have mint [19:24] your download folder [19:24] your home folder [19:24] i dont know what they have customized [19:24] your Desktop "folder" [19:24] but those are "bookmarks" or "shortcuts" [19:24] yes [19:24] do you know how to add trash bin there? [19:24] and you should be able to remove the ~/.config file if you have borked it [19:24] i copied mine [19:25] from mint and changed name [19:25] to lxde-rc [19:25] cool [19:25] or what the hell the name was :p the standard one [19:25] i would ask in a mint channel then [19:31] holstein: hi again [20:15] Evening mates ,I just installed Lubuntu 12.04 and smplayar crashes with this error in his log http://pastebin.com/BKhXZNzV [20:16] and flash games (which worked on Linux Mint 12 LXDE and Fedora 16) are sluggish and "slow" on Lubuntu .Any way to change that [20:18] That looks more like the command it's passing to mplayer than an error, and what package of flash do you have? [20:18] dpkg -l |grep flash [20:20] Unit193: ii flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.235ubuntu0.12.04.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer [20:21] I don't think it'll help at all, but I always recommend adobe-flashplugin from the !partner repo. [20:22] Ill try firefox ,maybe there will be a different effect [20:24] 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 [20:26] 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] (also, hi!) [20:27] 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? :/ [20:28] 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] (and yea ,Hi :)) [20:28] i don't want to outright disable them, but just get rid of the notifications [20:29] i have 4 nics with unplugged cables, so it's getting mighty annoying ;) [20:30] Well try at #ubuntu ,there is more ppl there and maybe they can help you [20:31] i thought that was an lxde widget thing [20:32] I would like to help you but Im new to lubuntu :D My only advice is to google like hell [20:34] oh, wait. i have nm-Fapplet running. i swear i didn't see that before [20:34] er. wtf. i got a "F" when the popup occurred that time O_o [20:35] fapplet [20:35] nice [20:36] video works normal in vlc but smplayer fails :/ [20:38] oh joy. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/445872 [20:38] Launchpad bug 445872 in network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) "disable-disconnect-notification option ignored" [Medium,Confirmed] [20:38] this is just not my week [20:40] try to configure flash and xorg on my pc :D Thats a suicide mission [20:40] i'm guessing there isn't a lubuntu-specific replacement for nm-applet? ;) === len is now known as Guest6287 [20:54] anyone here use Truecrypt? [20:56] hm. i'm starting to see screen corruption. this can't be good :/ [20:56] how do you mean? [20:56] artefacts or? [20:57] artifacts* [20:58] 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] it's happened in 3 apps so far though. [20:59] any extra drivers for your card at Preferences -> Additional Drivers? [21:01] "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." [21:01] :) [21:01] http://www.greenviolet.net/paste/1337893303.html is my lspci ;) [21:04] 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 [21:05] i know it's an integrated card. and there are no proprietary drivers available. ;) [21:05] and i'm not female... [21:06] but now to reboot so i can pull out the 4-port nic :( [21:07] Good luck and sorry for misunderstanding ;) [21:09] 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 :/ [21:12] has anyone managed it to get u1sdtool (Ubuntu One) working with appropriate proxy settings? [21:14] there is a ubuntuone-client-proxy package but I don't know from where this tool tries to read proxy settings [21:14] probably the gnome configuration, would be my guess [21:16] another question - is lubuntu based on gnome or gtk? [21:16] and the gnome configuration can be found in .gconf? [21:17] So any way Truecrypt can be set to open tc container without manually opening it in /media? [21:19] Guest14322: as for the lubuntu question, the FAQ in the channel topic may be useful [21:20] i would assume that you can use gconftool-2 and/or gsettings to alter the proxy info [21:25] lewellyn: very interesting, found some proxy related schemas and keys pointing to host and port settings - thanks for the hint [21:26] does it matter which of these tools I use? [21:26] especially under Lubuntu? [21:26] probably :) [21:27] ok, so I have to try it out [21:27] there's probably a package you can install which exposes the gnome proxy configuration as a gui for you [21:31] lewellyn: lxproxy looks promising [21:32] I will give it tomorrow a try [21:32] hm, cannot be found in the official repos [21:33] what a pity [21:34] bye [21:59] is there any safe setting for bleach bit? [21:59] dont wonna mess up anything [22:00] 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? [22:13] Well on windows I know what i safe (more/less) on ubuntu I can only trust bleach bit devs :D [22:37] Well Im off ,so far lubuntu seems really fast,(so far) stable and good looking. Good night [22:37] that's cuz it is :) [22:59] 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 :/ [23:00] but so far, it looks to be ubuntu bugs, not lubuntu-specific, at least! [23:00] yeah haven't had that issue lewellyn [23:02] 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 :/ [23:05] 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] 2. network-manager is a pain sometimes. try wicd. [23:06] 3. try removing bluetooth modules [23:06] lewellyn: ^ [23:06] 1. i suspect the problem would be lessened if the secondary monitor supported more than 2 resolutions. :/ [23:06] 2. isn't wicd for wireless? [23:06] ohhh right right [23:06] 3. i plan on adding a bluetooth dongle when things upset me less [23:07] wicd does wired and wireless [23:07] hm. [23:08] maybe it thinks you have a usb keyboard? [23:08] i would try removing bluetooth modules first and see if that is indeed the problem with the keyboard [23:08] if not then you can look at what usb keyboard driver it's loading and disable that [23:09] 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] 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] now it may have detected a usb keyboard [23:10] so it loaded usb keybaord modules [23:10] but there are none :/ [23:10] right now, you're sure? [23:10] go through modprobe -l and check [23:11] http://www.greenviolet.net/paste/1337901059.html is my lsusb output [23:11] go through modprobe -l [23:12] lewellyn@ghoul:~$ modprobe -l|grep usb|wc -l [23:12] 264 [23:12] ugh [23:12] i wouldn't necessarily expect it to be named "usb" [23:12] i don't have a usb keyboard so i don't know [23:12] that was to cut it down from 3526 lines [23:12] but drivers tend to have unexpected names [23:13] kernel/drivers/hid/usbhid/usbkbd.ko [23:13] i think that's always loaded though [23:14] without the hid drivers, it can't detect if you plug in a hid device iirc [23:14] but as my lsusb shows, i don't actually have anything plugged into a usb port [23:16] oh wait. that's a mouse hooked up on the last line [23:17] 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. === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D
