[00:05] always think wth is this again :) [00:05] i usally install it anyway cause i use firefox mainly, but was always curios about the "why" [00:07] same as the reason why lubuntu includes chrome by default, although it is feel/performance-wise slower than firefox :/ [00:07] atleast on the main aiming area aka the low-end machines [00:07] chrome beats ie [00:08] as in the most use browser in the world [00:08] lol i dont mind about ie, iam comparing ff and chrome [00:09] and chrome doesnt perform as well as firefox on low-end machines [00:09] http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-weekly-201121-201221 [00:09] different story ond mid-class machines where it outperforms firefox [00:09] Minze: I think this changed recently, chromium had a speed advantage for a while [00:10] lifehacker did a survey on which performs well and opera wins [00:10] but i tried opera on lubuntu and it seems lubuntu doesnt like opera, it keeps on crashing, atleast on my pc [00:11] opera isn't a default option since it's non-free (and not in the archive) [00:11] 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] i use that is [00:11] ie for the 3 payment systems or forums that wont work anywhere else [00:14] dont think its quite a good idea to use ie for critical payment services :/ [00:14] a bucket full of holes and famous for its leakage [00:15] 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] not my idea, a couple things i use only work in ie, that or nothing [00:15] use chrome for that stuff usally, got the best security-concept so far [00:17] keep it updated atleast, browse to the directly to the url :) [00:17] and browse* [00:17] many drive-bys these day, especially for ie [00:18] 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 [00:19] unbelievable that there are still websites supporting ie only... hopefully it got nothing to do with that silverlight crap [00:21] 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+) [00:22] i mean i dont notice anything on an octocore highend rig, but when it goes into the low-end its quite noticable [00:23] noticeable* [00:25] yea ff wins when it comes to memory usage- http://lifehacker.com/browser-speed-tests/ [00:35] i worked at a place, (about a year ago), still use ie6, id just snicker and keep my mouth shut [01:42] good night everyone! [05:26] hi [10:11] hi [14:08] Hello everyone [14:09] I was wondering. How do I move files from the pictures folder into the default folder for desktop wallpapers in Lubuntu 12.04 LTS? [14:46] hi [15:12] 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 ? === smile-druk is now known as smile [15:51] re [16:11] 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 [16:21] GridCube: might be a driver or a dpi issue [16:21] how to know? [16:22] this is hard to know [16:22] or to figure out [16:33] hi [16:33] should i use sFTP or samba to share folders within my windows home network ? [16:34] i tried samba but it's not working somehow, dunno why :( [16:38] so guys [16:38] im pretty sure its a font issue, see http://imagebin.org/215765 [16:38] but that tab doesnt allow him to set the font higher [16:38] how can this be done? [16:38] its like he is using a font size 8 [16:44] GridCube: it could be an dpi issue [16:44] the default font is set to 10 [16:44] he should look in lxappearance what is set as font size there [16:44] kk [16:47] he says it says 11 [16:48] so, its there a way to fix the dpi? [16:53] GridCube: in ~/.Xdefaults you can set the dpi [16:53] Xft.dpi: 96 [16:53] for example [16:55] lubuntu's text editor is leafpad correct? [16:56] yes [16:56] :) thanks === Guest98216 is now known as epzil0n === epzil0n is now known as Guest14938 === Guest14938 is now known as epzil0n === CTtechguy_ is now known as CTtechguy [18:19] H [18:19] Hi [18:19] I have an asus eeepc 7g and I run lubuntu precise (12.04) [18:20] Very fine distro and quite happy, but have hit two glitches. [18:20] When I hit the power button nothing happens even though I config'd xfce4-power-manager to bring up a dialgoue. [18:23] CaerdyddKennie: thats because the xfce4-power-manager is meant for xfce4-session and not lxsession so it cannot call the dialog [18:24] 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] ah xD [18:24] wrong link [18:25] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94516 [18:25] here you find a maybe solution [18:34] bye :) [18:38] 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 [18:39] I can login via console just fine, but the GUI just boots me out [18:40] yjacket: check for error massages in ~/.xsession-errors [18:40] gomiboy: thanks! let me check that... [18:44] gomiboy: hmm, I am having trouble getting the log file to the guest account... [18:44] I copied the log file the correct folder in /tmp/guest-... but it isn't showing up [18:47] has anybody heard that Linux will not run on Windows 8 boxes? [18:47] whoops, hold on let me post a link to the log file [18:47] frankcox767 weren't they going to use a secure boot? [18:50] hi [18:50] how do I access windows 7 shares from Lubuntu ? [18:50] in Ubuntu I do this, but I dont find this in Lubuntu http://www.7tutorials.com/how-access-windows-7-shared-folders-ubuntu [18:51] I can't open chrome in my guest account to post the log file... :/ [18:51] ... is there any way to enable guest accounts to use chrome via console? [18:52] screw it, booting off a live disk, brb [18:52] yjacket - from what I read RedHat is paying MS but no mention of anyone else. [18:52] http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/05/31/190217/red-hat-will-pay-microsoft-to-get-past-uefi-restrictions [18:58] esing: type in the file manager: smb://WINPCNAME [18:59] gomiboy thanks, I already tried that but it always returns to / of the linux machine [19:05] maybe I need to install another package? [19:05] like smbfs ? [19:07] gomiboy, here is a link to my log http://pastebin.com/QWrzUTH4 [19:07] * esing is changing PC's [19:08] esing: try with smb:// you should be able to browse the workgroup [19:16] leszek: Thx for the info. Is there a way to work around this? [19:16] yjacket: is that all? Seems too short to me... [19:16] gomiboy that all, let me post errors.old? [19:16] *that's [19:17] yikes, .xsession-errors.old is 500 kb! [19:19] ok, erased most of the repeats, posting now [19:20] gomiboy: http://pastebin.com/KCzMZheV [19:24] hmm, maybe if I uninstall firestarter? let me hop to another computer so I can get boot into it... brb [19:28] gomiboy nope Iam not able to do that :D [19:28] besides I wonder if I should chose LXDM or LightDM [19:28] (doing the ubuntu 12 update) [19:29] ok, uninstalled firestarter, no go :/ [19:32] gomiboy: i also installed x11vnc server, ill try uninstalling that one next [19:33] no go either... let me see if the logs changed at all [19:37] 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 [19:41] gomiboy: yeah i am in a guest session right now, but i still cant login to my account [19:44] well what do i do now, reinstall? if i do, ill probably drop down to 11.04 or 11.10 [19:46] and i wonder why chrome doesnt work in the guest account... [19:46] 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 [19:48] gomiboy: are there .x configs in my user dir? could i copy those from another user? [19:50] you mean X11 configs? In that case, no, they are in /etc [19:51] 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] *wasnt [19:54] shouldnt there be another log somewhere? [20:01] try this: press ctrl+alt+f1 login with your broken user, type: startx -- :1 [20:01] yjacket: ^ [20:02] alright, just a sec [20:02] and see if you get some tasty error... [20:07] gomiboy a lot of clutter, then the screen goes black... let me try piping the output to a file [20:08] and once black it goes back to the terminal? [20:08] shoot, let me restart, i can't kill the first one I did, and it locked something... [20:14] gomiboy: the piped file is blank :( [20:15] 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] yjacket: the screen stays black? do you see any error in console if you ctrl+alt+f1? [20:16] transferring the home folder, will transfer the issue [20:16] The only thing I can see is "No protocol specified" over and over, until I send Ctrl-C [20:17] gomiboy: thats what i am trying to find, the problem, so I can replace it with a fresh config [20:26] 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... :/ [20:35] Hello [20:35] Are regexes supposed to work with 'apt-cache search' ? [20:36] Ah, it works... [20:36] 'apt-cache search dev*' works fine .... But 'apt-cache search *dev' outputs error: [20:37] "E: Regex compilation error" [20:37] I'm using Lubuntu 12.04 amd64... [20:40] (in case this has got anything to do with Lubuntu (bug).. [20:42] according to http://regexpal.com/ "*dev" is not valid, if that helps [20:42] *AmberJ_ [20:45] hmm [20:50] gomiboy: if I am going to just create a new main account, does that mean I can't delete delete the previous broken one? [20:51] 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 [20:59] well, I am going to just install Lubuntu 11.10 over this... what new features did 12.04 have exactly? [21:22] hi [21:23] 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 ? [22:13] someone here? [22:52] how can I make the taskbar bigger [22:53] I cant read it , it is too small [23:17] bump
