| leszek | hi | 14:58 |
| jeward | Hi, I'm new to lubuntu and am having a strange problem with lxterminal. | 15:00 |
| holstein | !strange | 15:00 |
| jeward | When I use the keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste, I'm sending a ^C and then pasting has a control character in it. | 15:01 |
| jeward | Any idea what might be wrong? | 15:01 |
| holstein | jeward: just in the stuff pasted in the terminal? | 15:01 |
| wxl | jeward: i've heard this mentioned and surely i experience it as well but i'm not sure anything has been done to resolve it | 15:01 |
| jeward | When I hit CTRL-SHIFT-C, the shell receives a ^C. | 15:02 |
| jeward | The text is copied into the buffer. | 15:02 |
| jeward | When I then hit CTRL-SHIFT-V to paste it, the text is pasted into the terminal, then the next character I type is ... "quoted"? | 15:03 |
| jeward | As if I'd hit ^V. | 15:03 |
| jeward | Yeah, that makes sense. | 15:03 |
| jeward | The CTRL characters are getting through. | 15:03 |
| jeward | I guess I can just change terminals... | 15:04 |
| wxl | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxterminal/+bug/971918 | 15:04 |
| wxl | there's a patch | 15:04 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 971918 in lxterminal (Ubuntu) "Ctrl-Shift-C issues a Break command" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 15:04 |
| jeward | But... strange that that is a known problem and released in lubuntu? | 15:04 |
| wxl | bugs come and go | 15:04 |
| jeward | Checking that link. | 15:04 |
| holstein | lxterm is released in lubuntu | 15:04 |
| jeward | So I'd need to compile it from source? | 15:05 |
| holstein | ideally, it will get fixed upstream.. i assume if it were easy, it would be fixed | 15:05 |
| wxl | i wouldn't be surprised if there aren't higher priority bugs | 15:05 |
| jeward | I have a document around here somewhere for compiling things from source properly. I do it to up the number of ptys GNU screen has. | 15:06 |
| holstein | hehe... yeah, could be just that simple | 15:06 |
| holstein | jeward: if its still a bug in the latest version, you'll still have that issue | 15:06 |
| jeward | Well, I'd have to apply the patch. | 15:07 |
| jeward | You guys don't copy and paste in lxterm? | 15:07 |
| holstein | i dont use lxterm | 15:07 |
| wxl | all the time | 15:07 |
| wxl | i just deal with it ^ as above | 15:07 |
| jeward | wxl: You patched it and compiled from source? | 15:07 |
| wxl | nope | 15:08 |
| wxl | that's why that link looks funky | 15:08 |
| jeward | You just deal with the ^C and ^V being passed? | 15:08 |
| wxl | compare https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxterminal/+bug/971918 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxterminal/+bug/971918 | 15:08 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 971918 in lxterminal (Ubuntu) "Ctrl-Shift-C issues a Break command" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 15:08 |
| wxl | i delete the ^C's | 15:08 |
| wxl | annoying but i deal | 15:08 |
| jeward | I think I'll just substitute a different terminal. :-) | 15:09 |
| wxl | i just live with the ^V's except for one irssi script that i need to delete them | 15:09 |
| wxl | i live in the terminal but i don't bother | 15:09 |
| wxl | it will be fixed | 15:09 |
| jeward | holstein: What's your terminal of choice? | 15:09 |
| holstein | usually just the gnome terminal | 15:10 |
| * wxl barfs | 15:10 | |
| holstein | its what i got used to | 15:10 |
| jeward | Yeah, that's mostly what I've been using too. | 15:10 |
| holstein | i like it just fine | 15:10 |
| holstein | works better for me with barf on it than lxterm | 15:10 |
| jeward | :-) | 15:10 |
| jeward | Wow, it does have a few dependencies. | 15:11 |
| wxl | exactly the reason for the barf | 15:11 |
| jeward | Maybe I'll try rxvt. | 15:11 |
| holstein | try them all | 15:11 |
| jeward | A bunch of my coworkers like terminator. | 15:11 |
| holstein | i usually load up one new one, try it.. then just install the gnome one | 15:12 |
| jeward | :-) | 15:12 |
| jeward | Ever tried one of those drop down terminals? | 15:14 |
| jeward | Like guake? | 15:14 |
| wxl | i live in the terminal; don't work for me | 15:14 |
| jeward | Yeah, I didn't get along well with them either. | 15:14 |
| wxl | 98% of my desktop is terminal ;) | 15:15 |
| jeward | :-) | 15:15 |
| jeward | I can't believe you live with the copy andpaste bug! | 15:15 |
| wxl | i know | 15:15 |
| jeward | That would drive me insane! | 15:15 |
| wxl | i was prolly one of the first to complain | 15:15 |
| wxl | i thought it was just me | 15:16 |
| jeward | :-) | 15:16 |
| jeward | If I hadn't JUST installed lubuntu, I'd have through the same thing. | 15:16 |
| jeward | In fact, I DON'T think I have the same problem at home on my X220 Thinkpad... | 15:17 |
| jeward | Hmm, aterm looks nice and light. | 15:18 |
| jeward | I have to decide if I care about tabs. | 15:18 |
| jeward | Ah, aterm uses mouse button copy and paste. | 15:18 |
| jeward | I think I may have become spoiled by keyboard copy and paste. | 15:19 |
| wxl | i don't bother with tabs | 15:20 |
| wxl | that's what tmux is for | 15:20 |
| jeward | Yeah, my situation is kinda complicated. :-) I ssh into a jump box where I attach to my tmux session. Then I often run various screen sessions in tmux windows. :-) | 15:21 |
| wxl | that seems unnecessarily complicated | 15:22 |
| jeward | Weeelll.... I have my reasons. | 15:22 |
| jeward | I COULD do everything from my laptop over the VPN, but I find doing it all from the tmux session on the jump box to be more reliable. | 15:23 |
| wxl | it's ok-- i have three different machines i use tmux on so have the meta bound to three different things as i often run one of them inside another | 15:24 |
| jeward | Yeah, tmux is pretty awesome. | 15:25 |
| wxl | pretty much | 15:25 |
| jeward | We have a tool we use written in perl that does all the screen sessions. | 15:25 |
| wxl | but tmux in tmux on the same machine-- not so much | 15:25 |
| jeward | I've been thinking of trying to modify it to use tmux, but haven't had the time and inclination at the same point. | 15:25 |
| wxl | surely you could script something | 15:27 |
| wxl | have an alternate .tmux.conf | 15:27 |
| jeward | Well, it's more complicated than that. The perscript use expect to automate tasks via screen sessions. | 15:28 |
| jeward | perls script | 15:28 |
| jeward | So... I'd have to duplicate the way it automates things through screen in tmux. | 15:29 |
| jeward | Something to try when I'm bored someday. :-) | 15:29 |
| jeward | eterm looks kinda nice and small. | 15:30 |
| jeward | Wow: | 15:32 |
| jeward | Eterm is VERY small, but the copy doesn't work so well. | 15:32 |
| jeward | You think gnome-terminal has a lot of baggage... try konsole. :-) | 15:33 |
| wxl | i'm good | 15:33 |
| jeward | :-) | 15:34 |
| wxl | needless to say i'm grabbing source | 15:34 |
| wxl | we'll see who gets done first :) | 15:34 |
| jeward | The dependencies scrolled off the screen. :-) | 15:34 |
| jeward | You're going to patch the source? | 15:34 |
| jeward | I should do that too. | 15:34 |
| jeward | Let me find my document. | 15:34 |
| jeward | I'd prefer lxterm. | 15:35 |
| wxl | sudo apt-get source lxterminal | 15:35 |
| jeward | K. | 15:35 |
| jeward | Got it, had to install dpkg-dev. | 15:37 |
| jeward | Now we patch it with the patch from your link above? | 15:38 |
| wxl | yepp | 15:38 |
| jeward | I put that in a file and then run patch against it? | 15:39 |
| wxl | yep | 15:39 |
| wxl | 2nd one didn't seem to work | 15:39 |
| wxl | of course the 1st didn't either wtf | 15:40 |
| jeward | Maybe we need some more arguments to patch? | 15:42 |
| wxl | oh | 15:44 |
| wxl | heh | 15:44 |
| wxl | nevermind | 15:44 |
| jeward | ? | 15:44 |
| jeward | Looks like it's already in there? | 15:44 |
| wxl | was using -p0 | 15:44 |
| wxl | not necessary | 15:44 |
| wxl | oh really? | 15:45 |
| jeward | Did you get it to patch? | 15:45 |
| jeward | Well, looking at the code and the patch is making my head swim a little. :-) | 15:45 |
| jeward | But I haven't gotten it to patch yet. | 15:45 |
| jeward | You? | 15:45 |
| wxl | yep | 15:45 |
| wxl | cd src && patch < /path/to/patch | 15:46 |
| jeward | Oh, I got it! | 15:46 |
| wxl | then | 15:46 |
| wxl | cd .. && ./configure && make && make install | 15:46 |
| wxl | assuming you don't have errors with ./configure | 15:47 |
| jeward | I think there's a more official way that builds the package. | 15:47 |
| jeward | Trying to get my certs loaded so I can get to my document. :-) | 15:47 |
| wxl | making | 15:48 |
| wxl | brb | 15:49 |
| jeward | This is what I was looking for: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rebuilding-ubuntu-debian-linux-binary-package/ | 15:49 |
| wxl | rmind │··········································································· | 15:52 |
| wxl | sorry | 15:52 |
| wxl | works tho | 15:52 |
| wxl | ;) | 15:52 |
| jeward | I don't know about you, but I think I just had to install WAY more stuff to compile it than gnome-terminal. :-) | 15:52 |
| wxl | hahahah | 15:52 |
| wxl | well | 15:52 |
| wxl | i don't have that problem | 15:52 |
| jeward | :-) | 15:52 |
| jeward | Still installing compile dependencies. :-) | 15:52 |
| wxl | i have had wont to compile stuff before | 15:53 |
| wxl | so i already had it | 15:53 |
| wxl | but htat's your problem ;) | 15:53 |
| jeward | I guessed. :-) | 15:53 |
| jeward | My install is virginal! | 15:54 |
| wxl | hey thanks for lighting a fire under my you-know-what | 15:54 |
| wxl | man that dpkg methodology seems so much more complicated | 15:55 |
| jeward | Yeah. | 15:55 |
| jeward | But it works. :-) | 15:55 |
| jeward | Automagicall installs all the dependencies. | 15:55 |
| wxl | woop woop | 15:55 |
| jeward | Which would have taken a long time manually! | 15:55 |
| jeward | Compiled and installed... testing. | 15:56 |
| jeward | Sweet! | 15:56 |
| jeward | :-) | 15:56 |
| wxl | yep | 15:56 |
| wxl | do yo uhave a launchpad account? | 15:57 |
| jeward | I don't think so? | 15:57 |
| wxl | you should make yourself one | 15:57 |
| wxl | and confirm the patch fixes the bug | 15:57 |
| wxl | i install the last patch | 15:57 |
| wxl | so i'm going to check the other stuff too | 15:57 |
| jeward | Cool. | 15:57 |
| wxl | yep | 15:57 |
| wxl | new tabs work now | 15:57 |
| wxl | they didn't before | 15:57 |
| wxl | again i never used them but still | 15:57 |
| jeward | I like to have one tab on my local box and one on the jump box. | 15:58 |
| jeward | Oh, no here's a strange issue... When I hilight text in chromium, I can't easily see what's hilighted. | 16:01 |
| jeward | Maybe it's the color... | 16:01 |
| wxl | hm | 16:01 |
| wxl | give me the url | 16:01 |
| jeward | Yeah, chroium's default text hilight just happens to be the same color as the background of the text I'm hilighting. :-/ | 16:01 |
| jeward | I wonder how hard that is to change? | 16:01 |
| jeward | I can see it if I focus on another window... | 16:02 |
| jeward | But that's kind of a pain. | 16:02 |
| wxl | not too hard | 16:02 |
| jeward | Looking in settings... | 16:02 |
| jeward | It's a theme thing? | 16:02 |
| wxl | yep | 16:03 |
| jeward | Wow... so ... many... themes.... | 16:03 |
| wxl | hehehe | 16:03 |
| jeward | That's better, thanks! | 16:04 |
| jeward | :-) | 16:04 |
| wxl | preferences > customize look and feel > color > use customized color scheme checkbox > background on selected items | 16:04 |
| jeward | I jusy chose the "Google Theme". | 16:04 |
| jeward | just | 16:04 |
| wxl | man i love chromium | 16:06 |
| wxl | i've been a forever-user of firefox and recently made the switch | 16:07 |
| wxl | in fact i'd been through a version or two of lubuntu without using chromium | 16:07 |
| jeward | I'm a big chromium fan, one of the reasons I decided to try lubuntu. | 16:07 |
| wxl | huh | 16:07 |
| jeward | I found straight ubuntu a bit heavy for this laptop. | 16:07 |
| jeward | It's only got 1G of RAM. | 16:08 |
| wxl | lxde was really the thing that coerced me | 16:08 |
| jeward | Unity was kinda sluggish. | 16:08 |
| jeward | There must be fifteen gazillion chromium themes... | 16:09 |
| wxl | yeah | 16:09 |
| jeward | Ooooh, I like Slinky Brushed. :-) | 16:10 |
| sdfsd64 | Hey guys, where can I get some nice Lubuntu 12.04 themes? | 17:32 |
| jeward | Dunno, I just themed chromium. | 17:34 |
| sdfsd64 | the browser? | 17:34 |
| sdfsd64 | I want to theme the OS, lol | 17:34 |
| jeward | Yeah, I know, just sayin' that's all I've done so far. | 17:35 |
| wxl | http://box-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=7402 | 17:35 |
| wxl | ^ sdfsd64 | 17:35 |
| * jeward == lubuntu newb. | 17:35 | |
| sdfsd64 | I'm a n00b too. Anyways, I know that site before, low amount of themes and way too dark for me | 17:36 |
| === smile is now known as smile-busy | ||
| sdfsd64 | one question | 17:43 |
| sdfsd64 | Do the themes need to be especially made for Lxde to work? | 17:43 |
| wxl | if they're not openbox themes they're not going to work with openbox ;) | 17:44 |
| sdfsd64 | :( | 17:44 |
| sdfsd64 | http://www.linuxandlife.com/2012/02/nice-dark-gtk-themes-by-crazyt.html | 17:44 |
| sdfsd64 | he's running archbang, which is openbox, but the themes are for Gnome?! | 17:45 |
| wxl | performance > aesthetics | 17:45 |
| jeward | wxl: Amen. | 17:45 |
| wxl | gtk is not gnome | 17:45 |
| wxl | you should be able to make those work | 17:45 |
| sdfsd64 | lol. it says: "Depends on: Gnome 3.x" | 17:46 |
| wxl | gtk != gnome | 17:47 |
| sdfsd64 | Tell that to this guy: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Black-n-White-GTK?content=149636 | 17:49 |
| wxl | the gtk toolkit is the basis of gnome | 17:51 |
| wxl | but gnome is much more than gtk | 17:51 |
| sdfsd64 | but what does gtk have to do with linux anyways? It's for making GUIs, right? | 17:52 |
| wxl | yep: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B | 17:52 |
| sdfsd64 | so, is LXDE, Gtk? | 17:53 |
| wxl | it's written in c with the gtk+ toolkit | 17:54 |
| sdfsd64 | cool. ty | 17:54 |
| wxl | np | 17:54 |
| smile-busy | bye :) | 18:32 |
