[02:34] <wormmd> Is there a program to manage desktop backgrounds in Lubuntu 12.04? I'm running the awesome window manager and am having trouble changing mine.
[16:16] <leszek> hi
[16:16] <radon-> hi
[16:34] <silverarrow> hi
[16:35] <silverarrow> I  have an old mac, a white ibook. do  you think lubuntu would install painlessly?
[16:36] <silverarrow> so noone really knows?
[16:36] <silverarrow> I don't know the specs of the cpu, but RAM is 512MB
[16:36] <silverarrow> anyone on at all?
[16:36] <silverarrow> I need a linux laptop
[16:37] <silverarrow> it runs fine with most stuff with a bit of effort
[16:37] <silverarrow> so, lubuntu isn't that popular anymore
[16:37] <silverarrow> I hope it is, it's still my favorite
[16:38] <silverarrow> the other buntus are for new computers only
[16:38] <silverarrow> almost at least
[16:39] <silverarrow> I really like the macbook air
[16:39] <silverarrow> or pro is not far from these days , very slim
[16:44] <silverarrow> hei
[16:44] <silverarrow> which time of day is most active?
[16:44] <zleap> hi
[16:45] <zleap> not sure i am usually on #ubuntu-uk
[16:45] <zleap> can you find out the spec of the ibook
[16:46] <zleap> http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html see if it is listed here
[16:47] <silverarrow> hi
[16:48] <zleap> i would guess 512mb would be enough for lubuntu yes
[16:48] <silverarrow> I see, I  must do some investigation
[16:49] <silverarrow> I've been given this old ibook, it works fine, all I need is a new power supply
[16:49] <silverarrow> I was hoping so, at least, 512 used to be fairly good, but years a go no
[16:50] <zleap> check the link i posted see if your model is listed
[16:50] <silverarrow> right now I have vista, and annying stuff with firefox
[16:50] <zleap> ok
[16:50] <zleap> on an ibook
[16:51] <silverarrow> thanks, not sure, it's either 2004 or 2005
[16:51] <silverarrow> I think 2005
[16:53] <silverarrow> http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/specs/ibook_g4_1.33_12.html
[16:54] <silverarrow> it's old, but it runs quiet and smooth with os x
[16:55] <silverarrow> I might reinstall os x, if possible, and if lubuntu doesn't work
[16:55] <silverarrow> I rather have the new lubuntu though, if it runs well
[16:55] <silverarrow> the old os x is all right, but a bit old now
[16:56] <silverarrow> see you later after some research and install attempts
[16:57] <silverarrow> a live boot up can never be a bad thing at least
[16:57] <silverarrow> ;- )
[16:58] <zleap> ok
[17:22] <jeward> So... if I want a wee CPU meter down by the battery and sound widgets, what do I specifically look for?
[17:23] <jeward> I'm unsure of the openbox terminology.
[17:23] <jeward> That's not called a dock at the bottom of the screen?
[17:33] <pcroque> jeward: I think you're talking about the panel. In lubuntu it's LxPanel. Right click on a blank part of the panel to configure it.
[17:35] <jeward> Okay, I think I am looking for a load monitor panel applet.
[17:36] <pcroque> In 11.10 the applet is call CPU Usage Monitor.
[17:36] <jeward> I'm on 12.04.
[17:36] <jeward> Is it something I can agp-get install?
[17:38] <pcroque> I think it should already be there. Click Add/Remove Panel Items --> Panel Applets. Click the Add button and look for it there.
[17:38] <jeward> Sadly, no.
[17:39] <pcroque> Hmmm...sorry...can't help then. I don't run 12.04.
[17:39] <jeward> So, it may come along later I guess.
[17:40] <jeward> apt-cache search pxpanel didn't turn up much.
[17:41] <pcroque> I just looked on a laptop I have running 12.04. CPU Usage Monitor is there as an option.
[17:42] <jeward> Huh!
[17:42] <jeward> I wonder why I don't have it?
[17:42] <jeward> You're running lubuntu 12.04?
[17:42] <pcroque> You have to click the Add button to the right of the list. It has a big green plus sign on it.
[17:42] <jeward> Aha!
[17:42] <jeward> :-)
[17:43] <jeward> Perfect, thanks!
[17:43] <pcroque> np
[18:32] <smile-busy> bye! :)
