Minzealways think wth is this again :)00:05
Minzei usally install it anyway cause i use firefox mainly, but was always curios about the "why"00:05
Minzesame as the reason why lubuntu includes chrome by default, although it is feel/performance-wise slower than firefox :/00:07
Minzeatleast on the main aiming area aka the low-end machines00:07
n1ckn4me09876543chrome beats ie00:07
n1ckn4me09876543as in the most use browser in the world00:08
Minzelol i dont mind about ie, iam comparing ff and chrome00:08
Minzeand chrome doesnt perform as well as firefox on low-end machines00:09
n1ckn4me09876543http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-weekly-201121-20122100:09
Minzedifferent story ond mid-class machines where it outperforms firefox00:09
micahgMinze: I think this changed recently, chromium had a speed advantage for a while00:09
n1ckn4me09876543lifehacker did a survey on which performs well and opera wins00:10
n1ckn4me09876543but i tried opera on lubuntu and it seems lubuntu doesnt like opera, it keeps on crashing, atleast on my pc00:10
micahgopera isn't a default option since it's non-free (and not in the archive)00:11
cleaninstallis use chrome for day to day stuff, firefox for addons that do stuff i want done, used opera for a long time, dont like its look and feel anymore00:11
cleaninstalli use that is00:11
cleaninstallie for the 3 payment systems or forums that wont work anywhere else00:11
Minzedont think its quite a good idea to use ie for critical payment services :/00:14
Minzea bucket full of holes and famous for its leakage00:14
n1ckn4me09876543i only use firefox when when i want to go behind a proxy like Tor,  (tor browser bundle pack) it comes with ff with add ons and stuff preconfigured is pretty nice00:15
cleaninstallnot my idea, a couple things i use only work in ie, that or nothing00:15
Minzeuse chrome for that stuff usally, got the best security-concept so far00:15
Minzekeep it updated atleast, browse to the directly to the url :)00:17
Minzeand browse*00:17
Minzemany drive-bys these day, especially for ie00:17
cleaninstallone utility bill and one mmorpg only takes paybmet in ie, dont use it for anything else, dont let my kids, or my parents or anyone that will listen00:18
Minzeunbelievable that there are still websites supporting ie only... hopefully it got nothing to do with that silverlight crap00:19
Minzemicahg: regarding stats etc. it is definitelly the no.1 but feel-wise it lacks behind firefox, especially regarding flash-content use on low-end machines (talking about an athlon xp 3000+)00:21
Minzei mean i dont notice anything on an octocore highend rig, but when it goes into the low-end its quite noticable00:22
Minzenoticeable*00:23
n1ckn4me09876543yea ff wins when it comes to memory usage- http://lifehacker.com/browser-speed-tests/00:25
cleaninstalli worked at a place, (about a year ago), still use ie6, id just snicker and keep my mouth shut00:35
Minzegood night everyone!01:42

GridCubeHi, im helping an user on #ubuntu-es, thats using lubuntu, and says that even if the screen resolution is correct all the system looks tiny, and if he goes to a smaller resolution everything looks blurry16:11
leszekGridCube: might be a driver or a dpi issue16:21
GridCubehow to know?16:21
leszekthis is hard to know16:22
leszekor to figure out16:22
esinghi16:33
esingshould i use sFTP or samba to share folders within my windows home network ?16:33
esingi tried samba but it's not working somehow, dunno why :(16:34
GridCubeso guys16:38
GridCubeim pretty sure its a font issue, see http://imagebin.org/21576516:38
GridCubebut that tab doesnt allow him to set the font higher16:38
GridCubehow can this be done?16:38
GridCubeits like he is using a font size 816:38
leszekGridCube: it could be an dpi issue16:44
leszekthe default font is set to 1016:44
leszekhe should look in lxappearance what is set as font size there16:44
GridCubekk16:44
GridCubehe says it says 1116:47
GridCubeso, its there a way to fix the dpi?16:48
leszekGridCube: in ~/.Xdefaults you can set the dpi16:53

CaerdyddKennieHi18:19
CaerdyddKennieI have an asus eeepc 7g and I run lubuntu precise (12.04)18:19
CaerdyddKennieVery fine distro and quite happy, but have hit two glitches.18:20
CaerdyddKennieWhen I hit the power button nothing happens even though I config'd xfce4-power-manager to bring up a dialgoue.18:20
leszekCaerdyddKennie: thats because the xfce4-power-manager is meant for xfce4-session and not lxsession so it cannot call the dialog18:23
leszekCaerdyddKennie: see for example this: http://ppa.launchpad.net/dantti/colord-kde/ubuntu/pool/main/c/colord/colord_0.1.18-1~ppa1.dsc18:24
leszekah xD18:24

yjacketWhen ever I try to login to my account, The screen goes black, and just takes me back to the login screen, no incorrect password18:38
yjacketI can login via console just fine, but the GUI just boots me out18:39
gomiboyyjacket: check for error massages in ~/.xsession-errors18:40
yjacketgomiboy: thanks! let me check that...18:40
yjacketgomiboy: hmm, I am having trouble getting the log file to the guest account...18:44
yjacketI copied the log file the correct folder in /tmp/guest-... but it isn't showing up18:44
frankcox767has anybody heard that Linux will not run on Windows 8 boxes?18:47
yjacketwhoops, hold on let me post a link to the log file18:47
yjacketfrankcox767 weren't they going to use a secure boot?18:47
esinghi18:50
esinghow do I access windows 7 shares from Lubuntu ?18:50
esingin Ubuntu I do this, but I dont find this in Lubuntu http://www.7tutorials.com/how-access-windows-7-shared-folders-ubuntu18:50
yjacketI can't open chrome in my guest account to post the log file... :/18:51
yjacket... is there any way to enable guest accounts to use chrome via console?18:51
yjacketscrew it, booting off a live disk, brb18:52

gomiboyesing: type in the file manager: smb://WINPCNAME18:58
esinggomiboy thanks, I already tried that but it always returns to / of the linux machine18:59
esingmaybe I need to install another package?19:05
esinglike smbfs ?19:05
yjacketgomiboy, here is a link to my log http://pastebin.com/QWrzUTH419:07
* esing is changing PC's19:07
gomiboyesing: try with smb:// you should be able to browse the workgroup19:08
CaerdyddKennieleszek:  Thx for the info.  Is there a way to work around this?19:16
gomiboyyjacket: is that all? Seems too short to me...19:16
yjacketgomiboy that all, let me post errors.old?19:16
yjacket*that's19:16
yjacketyikes, .xsession-errors.old is 500 kb!19:17
yjacketok, erased most of the repeats, posting now19:19
yjacketgomiboy: http://pastebin.com/KCzMZheV19:20
yjackethmm, maybe if I uninstall firestarter? let me hop to another computer so I can get boot into it... brb19:24
esinggomiboy nope Iam not able to do that :D19:28
esingbesides I wonder if I should chose LXDM or LightDM19:28
esing(doing the ubuntu 12 update)19:28
yjacketok, uninstalled firestarter, no go :/19:29
yjacketgomiboy: i also installed x11vnc server, ill try uninstalling that one next19:32
yjacketno go either... let me see if the logs changed at all19:33
gomiboyyjacket: if i got it right you can log in with another user, so the problem is with your user session, but i can't see anything wrong in the logs, just 'normal' errors/warnings19:37
yjacketgomiboy: yeah i am in a guest session right now, but i still cant login to my account19:41
yjacketwell what do i do now, reinstall? if i do, ill probably drop down to 11.04 or 11.1019:44
yjacketand i wonder why chrome doesnt work in the guest account...19:46
gomiboyyjacket: well, if you don't care much about the configs you have made with you user, you can just make another one instead of reinstall19:46
yjacketgomiboy: are there .x configs in my user dir? could i copy those from another user?19:48
gomiboyyou mean X11 configs? In that case, no, they are in /etc19:50
yjacketwell what ever is corrupted in my main account's could be copied over... i didnt understand the logs, all it said was it was started19:51
yjacket*wasnt19:51
yjacketshouldnt there be another log somewhere?19:54
gomiboytry this: press ctrl+alt+f1 login with your broken user, type: startx -- :120:01
gomiboyyjacket: ^20:01
yjacketalright, just a sec20:02
gomiboyand see if you get some tasty error...20:02
yjacketgomiboy a lot of clutter, then the screen goes black... let me try piping the output to a file20:07
gomiboyand once black it goes back to the terminal?20:08
yjacketshoot, let me restart, i can't kill the first one I did, and it locked something...20:08
yjacketgomiboy: the piped file is blank :(20:14
yjacketI am going to try transferring my main accounts home folder to another acocunts, and seeing if that account has the same issue20:15
gomiboyyjacket: the screen stays black? do you see any error in console if you ctrl+alt+f1?20:15
gomiboytransferring the home folder, will transfer the issue20:16
yjacketThe only thing I can see is "No protocol specified" over and over, until I send Ctrl-C20:16
yjacketgomiboy: thats what i am trying to find, the problem, so I can replace it with a fresh config20:17
yjacketwell, apparently lubuntu doesn't like it when the main account doesn't have a home folder, and you switch to the gui login screen... :/20:26
AmberJ_Hello20:35
AmberJ_Are regexes supposed to work with 'apt-cache search' ?20:35
AmberJ_Ah, it works...20:36
AmberJ_'apt-cache search dev*' works fine .... But 'apt-cache search *dev' outputs error:20:36
AmberJ_"E: Regex compilation error"20:37
AmberJ_I'm using Lubuntu 12.04 amd64...20:37
AmberJ_(in case this has got anything to do with Lubuntu (bug)..20:40
yjacketaccording to http://regexpal.com/ "*dev" is not valid, if that helps20:42
yjacket*AmberJ_20:42
AmberJ_hmm20:45
yjacketgomiboy: if I am going to just create a new main account, does that mean I can't delete delete the previous broken one?20:50
yjacketbecause in my "test" admin account, I am not a sudoer, and have to enter the broken main accounts password to do gui authentication for applications20:51
yjacketwell, I am going to just install Lubuntu 11.10 over this... what new features did 12.04 have exactly?20:59
esinghi21:22
esingcan I switch from LXDE easily to unify or gnome? will i have 100% ubuntu if I change my desktop environment or are there also other differences between lubuntu and ubuntu except the desktop environment ?21:23
