[09:30] hi. How do you disable lap top keyboard completely. thank you [11:00] You might not be able to do so, but some laptops have button to disable keyboard. [13:23] hi [13:27] i have a prob with flash, i have a message missing plugin in any browser that i use to visit a website made with flash [13:28] i've tried ecerything i found on the internet [13:29] everything* [13:30] i've tried 3 graphic cards [13:31] i've tried flash aid and gnash + lightspark [13:31] i made tests with firefox, seamonkey, iceweasel and chromium-browser [13:32] and i still cannot find an issue [13:35] (i use 11.10) [13:48] Galeade: well have you checked if flash is installed? :) [13:49] smile: :) [13:49] i wouldn't lie [13:49] gnashworks but not for the websites i use to visit [13:50] Galeade: start firefox and type in: about:addons [13:50] :) [13:51] And tell me what's installed @ plugins [13:51] (not add-ons, plugins) [13:51] i do not have firefox anymore [13:51] i've re-installed [13:51] and now it works? [13:51] but it apperas int the list in about:plugins of chromium [13:51] nope [13:52] can you copy the exact entry in chrome? :) [13:52] i've done lots of new installs to do proper tests [13:52] yes i can [13:53] That would be helpful. [13:53] do you want a screen ? [13:53] with details [13:53] Galeade: okay, that's fine :) don't forget to expand the entry :) [13:57] Galeade: are you busy? [14:00] yep i'm installing [14:00] cause the system is just installed [14:00] i needmy tool :p [14:01] ok. :p [14:02] http://maman.admin.free.fr/plugins.png [14:05] it's downloading, just a moment [14:05] it's newly installed but updated [14:06] what does checking the checkbox allow do? :) [14:06] the checkbox ? [14:06] sorry i'm french [14:07] my system is in english but i don't understand what you're talking about [14:07] oh i see [14:07] well. If you enable allow. :) [14:07] what happens then? :) [14:07] nothing [14:07] I'm also a non-native speaker, Galeade [14:07] Galeade: if you install Chrome instead of Chromium, does it work then? :) [14:08] Chrome ? [14:09] i'm not sure that will work, i can try, but i made tests with several browsers [14:09] Google Chrome, yes [14:09] Google Chrome is different - they have their own built-in flash player. Maybe that works [14:10] ah [14:10] you can install it from the ubuntu software centre I thought [14:10] i didn't need to do that with my laptop [14:10] oh, this is lubuntu :p [14:10] i need to add a source i imagine [14:10] install it from www.google.com/chrome then [14:10] Galeade: not if you download it directly from google [14:10] i have a look [14:12] do i need to uninstall chromium ? [14:16] okay that works [14:17] thanks a lot [14:17] i'm going to install chrome on all my computers [14:29] Galeade: cool! :D [14:30] Galeade: and no, you don't need to. :) [14:30] i'm uninstalling anyway [14:30] i don't need sevral browsers [14:31] most popular is firefox due to addons and plugins [14:32] i don't like it, since they add the plugin container [14:32] chrome has add ons and plug ins but not as many as firefox. try chorium if you want to open source version of chrome. [14:32] ty blackcatgatonegr but flash doesn't work properly [14:33] Galeade, you need to install the propietatio video drivers last version [14:33] *propietary [14:34] blackcatgatonegr: i've tried to install everything that is possible to make flash run [14:34] i even tried 3 graphic cards [14:34] 2 nvidia and 1 ati [14:37] mmm [14:38] Galeade, go to preferences /adicional drivers [14:38] i have nvidia-96 package for my drivers [14:38] Galeade, that driver is too old, only recomended for really old video cards [14:39] i tried to install the current version, but that did not work [14:39] Galeade, go to preferences /adicional drivers pick the one that has "update" in the name [14:39] i tried them both [14:39] Galeade, what is your video card? [14:40] geforce2 mx400 [14:40] somthing like that [14:40] but that works, that's the most important [14:41] the computer is for my kids [14:41] they can both play on the same game now [14:42] ok, try to erase nouveau firmware if you have it from synaptic if you have it, if you don't nevermind. [14:44] Galeade, you can add get deb game repository to install more games but if the computer is that old some games won't work well [15:02] most modern ubuntu games need some kind of opengl acceleration, even 2d games [16:25] I was playing a game earlier, and my laptop locked up [16:25] yanked my battery, rebooted [16:26] now I cant get past the nvdia splash [16:26] screen goes blank [16:26] booted into a shell, checked Xorg logs [16:26] didnt find any errors [17:18] hi [18:17] i can't open Lubuntu software center [18:17] i click it and nothing happens [18:18] i'm going to restart [18:21] yah i still can't open Lubuntu software center [18:21] by clicking on it, is there another way to open it? [18:22] i'm trying to install java, should i install it through the software center or can i just use the terminal? I don't know the specific name i would need though [18:22] From the terminal, should display more info as well as to why it's crashing. [18:23] sudo apt-get install default-jre [18:25] i get this error when i try sudo apt-get install default-jre http://pastebin.com/ktC5BLwW [18:27] Could try sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* then sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install default-jre [18:30] so now i get this http://pastebin.com/1CRCYRLJ [18:31] should i do apt-get autoremove? [18:31] You can if you want. Alright, now dpkg -l |grep jre [18:35] http://pastebin.com/Sz8L8Ymk [18:36] i'm trying to get minecraft to run [18:37] bye :) [18:39] So with all this, what makes you think you don't have Java? [18:40] well i can't seem to run minecraft.jar [18:41] http://pastebin.com/pJR6H6g7 see? [18:44] But you *clearly* have java. [18:44] !xy [18:44] The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. [18:45] oh, i'm sorry [18:45] well why won't minecraft run? [18:46] Change -cp to -jar [18:46] (Never ran MC here)_ [18:49] http://pastebin.com/XZtpenkZ [18:49] The file is on the desktop, right? Named exactly that? [18:50] oh its minecraft.jar not Minecraft.jar, let me try it again [18:52] yes that was the problem [18:54] Though, jre-7 has been reported to run better, but AFAIK is less supported. [21:53] hi folks [21:53] how to i add keyboard layouts in lubuntu? [21:54] i mean [21:55] without copying the autostart file and adding setxkbmap [21:56] I'd like to know how I can keep my layout config actually [21:56] it keeps switching back [21:57] webmind: how did you set it up? [21:58] I use lxkeymap to select my layout [21:58] that works, until the next login [21:58] if you edited /etc/xdg/lxsession/autostart then just copy it to ~/.config/lxsession/autostart [21:58] aha, thats wierd [21:58] lxkeymap is not a solution [21:59] what is it for then? [21:59] since most people want english latin + their own layout [21:59] ah [21:59] there is also a switcher tool I think [21:59] webmind: first do cp /etc/xdg/lxsession/autostart ~/.config/lxsession/ [22:00] yep, keyboardlayour switcher [22:00] doda, that file does not exist [22:00] but /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart does :) [22:00] ah yeah :D [22:01] ok, copy that :) [22:01] and edit it [22:02] add setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle "us,some-language-code" [22:02] ok, should perhaps wait till later.. I just overwrote my desktop.conf [22:02] doda, k [22:02] but [22:02] what desktop.conf? [22:02] you know if there will be a way to change this through the gui? [22:03] in ~/.config/lxsession/ [22:03] i don't know :D, i was asking the same thing :) [22:03] doda, have you tried the keyboardlayout switcher? [22:04] or is that not the problem? [22:04] that is only an switcher, you can't set nothing there [22:05] ah yes [22:05] then I haven't found it either [22:05] btw, if you deleted desktop.conf it will be back on next login [22:06] but what was in there? [22:09] settings for the theme as a can see [22:11] k
