| Minze | always think wth is this again :) | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Minze | i usally install it anyway cause i use firefox mainly, but was always curios about the "why" | 00:05 |
| Minze | same as the reason why lubuntu includes chrome by default, although it is feel/performance-wise slower than firefox :/ | 00:07 |
| Minze | atleast on the main aiming area aka the low-end machines | 00:07 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | chrome beats ie | 00:07 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | as in the most use browser in the world | 00:08 |
| Minze | lol i dont mind about ie, iam comparing ff and chrome | 00:08 |
| Minze | and chrome doesnt perform as well as firefox on low-end machines | 00:09 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-weekly-201121-201221 | 00:09 |
| Minze | different story ond mid-class machines where it outperforms firefox | 00:09 |
| micahg | Minze: I think this changed recently, chromium had a speed advantage for a while | 00:09 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | lifehacker did a survey on which performs well and opera wins | 00:10 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | but i tried opera on lubuntu and it seems lubuntu doesnt like opera, it keeps on crashing, atleast on my pc | 00:10 |
| micahg | opera isn't a default option since it's non-free (and not in the archive) | 00:11 |
| cleaninstall | is 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 anymore | 00:11 |
| cleaninstall | i use that is | 00:11 |
| cleaninstall | ie for the 3 payment systems or forums that wont work anywhere else | 00:11 |
| Minze | dont think its quite a good idea to use ie for critical payment services :/ | 00:14 |
| Minze | a bucket full of holes and famous for its leakage | 00:14 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | i 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 nice | 00:15 |
| cleaninstall | not my idea, a couple things i use only work in ie, that or nothing | 00:15 |
| Minze | use chrome for that stuff usally, got the best security-concept so far | 00:15 |
| Minze | keep it updated atleast, browse to the directly to the url :) | 00:17 |
| Minze | and browse* | 00:17 |
| Minze | many drive-bys these day, especially for ie | 00:17 |
| cleaninstall | one 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 listen | 00:18 |
| Minze | unbelievable that there are still websites supporting ie only... hopefully it got nothing to do with that silverlight crap | 00:19 |
| Minze | micahg: 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 |
| Minze | i mean i dont notice anything on an octocore highend rig, but when it goes into the low-end its quite noticable | 00:22 |
| Minze | noticeable* | 00:23 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | yea ff wins when it comes to memory usage- http://lifehacker.com/browser-speed-tests/ | 00:25 |
| cleaninstall | i worked at a place, (about a year ago), still use ie6, id just snicker and keep my mouth shut | 00:35 |
| Minze | good night everyone! | 01:42 |

| TheWonderingGuru | Hello everyone | 14:08 |
| TheWonderingGuru | I was wondering. How do I move files from the pictures folder into the default folder for desktop wallpapers in Lubuntu 12.04 LTS? | 14:09 |
| leszek | hi | 14:46 |
| esing | my lubuntu said an new ubuntu is there (11.0) , well I use lubuntu and wonder if I can still install the new ubuntu 11.0 components or do i have to worry that my system changes completly from lubuntu to ubuntu 11 ? | 15:12 |

| GridCube | Hi, 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 blurry | 16:11 |
| leszek | GridCube: might be a driver or a dpi issue | 16:21 |
| GridCube | how to know? | 16:21 |
| leszek | this is hard to know | 16:22 |
| leszek | or to figure out | 16:22 |
| esing | hi | 16:33 |
| esing | should i use sFTP or samba to share folders within my windows home network ? | 16:33 |
| esing | i tried samba but it's not working somehow, dunno why :( | 16:34 |
| GridCube | so guys | 16:38 |
| GridCube | im pretty sure its a font issue, see http://imagebin.org/215765 | 16:38 |
| GridCube | but that tab doesnt allow him to set the font higher | 16:38 |
| GridCube | how can this be done? | 16:38 |
| GridCube | its like he is using a font size 8 | 16:38 |
| leszek | GridCube: it could be an dpi issue | 16:44 |
| leszek | the default font is set to 10 | 16:44 |
| leszek | he should look in lxappearance what is set as font size there | 16:44 |
| GridCube | kk | 16:44 |
| GridCube | he says it says 11 | 16:47 |
| GridCube | so, its there a way to fix the dpi? | 16:48 |
| leszek | GridCube: in ~/.Xdefaults you can set the dpi | 16:53 |
| leszek | Xft.dpi: 96 | 16:53 |
| leszek | for example | 16:53 |
| GridCube | lubuntu's text editor is leafpad correct? | 16:55 |
| leszek | yes | 16:56 |
| GridCube | :) thanks | 16:56 |

| CaerdyddKennie | Hi | 18:19 |
| CaerdyddKennie | I have an asus eeepc 7g and I run lubuntu precise (12.04) | 18:19 |
| CaerdyddKennie | Very fine distro and quite happy, but have hit two glitches. | 18:20 |
| CaerdyddKennie | When I hit the power button nothing happens even though I config'd xfce4-power-manager to bring up a dialgoue. | 18:20 |
| leszek | CaerdyddKennie: thats because the xfce4-power-manager is meant for xfce4-session and not lxsession so it cannot call the dialog | 18:23 |
| leszek | CaerdyddKennie: see for example this: http://ppa.launchpad.net/dantti/colord-kde/ubuntu/pool/main/c/colord/colord_0.1.18-1~ppa1.dsc | 18:24 |
| leszek | ah xD | 18:24 |
| leszek | wrong link | 18:24 |
| leszek | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94516 | 18:25 |
| leszek | here you find a maybe solution | 18:25 |

| yjacket | When ever I try to login to my account, The screen goes black, and just takes me back to the login screen, no incorrect password | 18:38 |
| yjacket | I can login via console just fine, but the GUI just boots me out | 18:39 |
| gomiboy | yjacket: check for error massages in ~/.xsession-errors | 18:40 |
| yjacket | gomiboy: thanks! let me check that... | 18:40 |
| yjacket | gomiboy: hmm, I am having trouble getting the log file to the guest account... | 18:44 |
| yjacket | I copied the log file the correct folder in /tmp/guest-... but it isn't showing up | 18:44 |
| frankcox767 | has anybody heard that Linux will not run on Windows 8 boxes? | 18:47 |
| yjacket | whoops, hold on let me post a link to the log file | 18:47 |
| yjacket | frankcox767 weren't they going to use a secure boot? | 18:47 |
| esing | hi | 18:50 |
| esing | how do I access windows 7 shares from Lubuntu ? | 18:50 |
| esing | in Ubuntu I do this, but I dont find this in Lubuntu http://www.7tutorials.com/how-access-windows-7-shared-folders-ubuntu | 18:50 |
| yjacket | I 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 |
| yjacket | screw it, booting off a live disk, brb | 18:52 |
| frankcox767 | yjacket - from what I read RedHat is paying MS but no mention of anyone else. | 18:52 |
| frankcox767 | http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/05/31/190217/red-hat-will-pay-microsoft-to-get-past-uefi-restrictions | 18:52 |
| gomiboy | esing: type in the file manager: smb://WINPCNAME | 18:58 |
| esing | gomiboy thanks, I already tried that but it always returns to / of the linux machine | 18:59 |
| esing | maybe I need to install another package? | 19:05 |
| esing | like smbfs ? | 19:05 |
| yjacket | gomiboy, here is a link to my log http://pastebin.com/QWrzUTH4 | 19:07 |
| * esing is changing PC's | 19:07 | |
| gomiboy | esing: try with smb:// you should be able to browse the workgroup | 19:08 |
| CaerdyddKennie | leszek: Thx for the info. Is there a way to work around this? | 19:16 |
| gomiboy | yjacket: is that all? Seems too short to me... | 19:16 |
| yjacket | gomiboy that all, let me post errors.old? | 19:16 |
| yjacket | *that's | 19:16 |
| yjacket | yikes, .xsession-errors.old is 500 kb! | 19:17 |
| yjacket | ok, erased most of the repeats, posting now | 19:19 |
| yjacket | gomiboy: http://pastebin.com/KCzMZheV | 19:20 |
| yjacket | hmm, maybe if I uninstall firestarter? let me hop to another computer so I can get boot into it... brb | 19:24 |
| esing | gomiboy nope Iam not able to do that :D | 19:28 |
| esing | besides I wonder if I should chose LXDM or LightDM | 19:28 |
| esing | (doing the ubuntu 12 update) | 19:28 |
| yjacket | ok, uninstalled firestarter, no go :/ | 19:29 |
| yjacket | gomiboy: i also installed x11vnc server, ill try uninstalling that one next | 19:32 |
| yjacket | no go either... let me see if the logs changed at all | 19:33 |
| gomiboy | yjacket: 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/warnings | 19:37 |
| yjacket | gomiboy: yeah i am in a guest session right now, but i still cant login to my account | 19:41 |
| yjacket | well what do i do now, reinstall? if i do, ill probably drop down to 11.04 or 11.10 | 19:44 |
| yjacket | and i wonder why chrome doesnt work in the guest account... | 19:46 |
| gomiboy | yjacket: well, if you don't care much about the configs you have made with you user, you can just make another one instead of reinstall | 19:46 |
| yjacket | gomiboy: are there .x configs in my user dir? could i copy those from another user? | 19:48 |
| gomiboy | you mean X11 configs? In that case, no, they are in /etc | 19:50 |
| yjacket | well what ever is corrupted in my main account's could be copied over... i didnt understand the logs, all it said was it was started | 19:51 |
| yjacket | *wasnt | 19:51 |
| yjacket | shouldnt there be another log somewhere? | 19:54 |
| gomiboy | try this: press ctrl+alt+f1 login with your broken user, type: startx -- :1 | 20:01 |
| gomiboy | yjacket: ^ | 20:01 |
| yjacket | alright, just a sec | 20:02 |
| gomiboy | and see if you get some tasty error... | 20:02 |
| yjacket | gomiboy a lot of clutter, then the screen goes black... let me try piping the output to a file | 20:07 |
| gomiboy | and once black it goes back to the terminal? | 20:08 |
| yjacket | shoot, let me restart, i can't kill the first one I did, and it locked something... | 20:08 |
| yjacket | gomiboy: the piped file is blank :( | 20:14 |
| yjacket | I am going to try transferring my main accounts home folder to another acocunts, and seeing if that account has the same issue | 20:15 |
| gomiboy | yjacket: the screen stays black? do you see any error in console if you ctrl+alt+f1? | 20:15 |
| gomiboy | transferring the home folder, will transfer the issue | 20:16 |
| yjacket | The only thing I can see is "No protocol specified" over and over, until I send Ctrl-C | 20:16 |
| yjacket | gomiboy: thats what i am trying to find, the problem, so I can replace it with a fresh config | 20:17 |
| yjacket | well, 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_ | Hello | 20:35 |
| 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 |
| yjacket | according to http://regexpal.com/ "*dev" is not valid, if that helps | 20:42 |
| yjacket | *AmberJ_ | 20:42 |
| AmberJ_ | hmm | 20:45 |
| yjacket | gomiboy: 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 |
| yjacket | because in my "test" admin account, I am not a sudoer, and have to enter the broken main accounts password to do gui authentication for applications | 20:51 |
| yjacket | well, I am going to just install Lubuntu 11.10 over this... what new features did 12.04 have exactly? | 20:59 |
| esing | hi | 21:22 |
| esing | can 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 |
| esing | someone here? | 22:13 |
| esing | how can I make the taskbar bigger | 22:52 |
