| silverarrow | sorry | 01:22 |
| silverarrow | are developers ever here on the channel? | 01:40 |
| silverarrow | i would love to talk to one | 01:40 |
| silverarrow | wonder how it works | 01:40 |
| silverarrow | they do a great job even if users like me get majorly frustrated and tired sometimes | 01:41 |
| Unit193 | It's a PPC thing, not much they can do. You can report bugs and all though. | 01:41 |
| Unit193 | !bugs | 01:41 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 01:41 |
| silverarrow | they can do a lot, gnash and lightspark should run | 01:42 |
| silverarrow | it is even suppose to run with the recommended setup in lubuntu | 01:42 |
| silverarrow | developers do boot up hardware like an ibook and test browser+ | 01:43 |
| Unit193 | Does it work in Ubuntu? Kubuntu? Xubuntu? If not, it's not a Lubuntu problem and should be reported to lightspark. | 01:43 |
| Unit193 | And not always, no, that's "testers" | 01:44 |
| silverarrow | now you sound like a lovless grammar teacher | 01:44 |
| Unit193 | It's just how things work, the packagers and devs can't run every program on every arch. | 01:45 |
| silverarrow | haha, if you ran the show unit, nothnig would ever happen | 01:45 |
| Unit193 | What | 01:45 |
| Unit193 | ? | 01:45 |
| silverarrow | true though | 01:46 |
| Unit193 | Do you have a support question? | 01:46 |
| silverarrow | oh yes, which packages are recommended for mplayer to run in browser | 01:47 |
| silverarrow | or rather, plugin options | 01:48 |
| Unit193 | "gecko-mediaplayer" is what I'd say. | 01:48 |
| silverarrow | which is default | 01:48 |
| silverarrow | yet it seems to need more tweaking | 01:48 |
| silverarrow | on either pc or ppc | 01:49 |
| souliaq | Someone knows about of the Strigi Desktop Search? | 03:32 |

| LAC | hey running free screen recorder but it's telling me Error creating AVI File, why is that? | 14:26 |
| holstein | i would just try creating another file type and see.. you can try running the application from the terminal, LAC , and see if you see any helpful error output | 14:34 |
| LAC | holstein: how do i try to run it there and what application do you use to record screen videos? | 14:37 |
| holstein | LAC: i have had decent luck with gtk-recordmydesktop in the past | 14:39 |
| holstein | LAC: when you say "how do i try to run it there" i assume you mean, in the terminal | 14:40 |
| holstein | i would open a terminal and issue the command which starts the application you are having issues with... gtk-recordmydesktop for example | 14:40 |
| LAC | for example? | 14:42 |
| holstein | LAC: yes... for example, if i wanted to run the gtk-recordmydesktop application from the terminal in order to hopefully see some error output there, in the terminal, for troubleshooting purposes as i suggested... i would open the terminal and type gtk-recordmydesktop | 14:44 |
| holstein | LAC: i dont know what application you are having issues with | 14:44 |
| LAC | holstein: thanks his help alot | 14:45 |

| MrChrisDruif | Evening lot | 19:44 |
| MrChrisDruif | My brother wants to create video dvd's, any suggestions as to what software he could use in Lubuntu? | 19:44 |
| MrChrisDruif | Running 11.10 (still need to upgrade him) | 19:44 |
| Unit193 | pitivi? | 19:45 |
| Unit193 | (So said bestbot in #ubuntu-bots anyway. :P ) | 19:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ghehe | 19:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | How light is it, because his system isn't very high capacity | 19:47 |
| Unit193 | Video editing isn't the best idea then. :P | 19:48 |
| Unit193 | But, as you saw those options. :P | 19:49 |
| sev^^ | hi there, noob looking for some assistance with lubuntu | 20:08 |
| kanliot | hi sev^^ | 20:09 |
| SkippersBoss | !ask| sev^^, | 20:09 |
| ubottu | sev^^,: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 20:09 |
| sev^^ | well I'm trying to install some proprietary display drivers for my laptop. Using the 'additional drivers' app displays nothing. And the drivers I have found from the AMD website I am unsure how to install. I can provide a link however | 20:15 |
| kanliot | if additional drivers shows nothing, they might already be installed | 20:16 |
| sev^^ | is there any way I can check? | 20:19 |
| kanliot | go to system profiler and benchmark and look for fglrx under kernel modules | 20:22 |
| kanliot | actually i'm not 100% sure that's the right way | 20:23 |
| kanliot | sorry | 20:23 |
| Unit193 | Additional Drivers will have it if it's installed yet or not. | 20:24 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright, it seems dvdstyler is a simple and workable program for his intentions | 20:27 |
| MrChrisDruif | As feedback for Unit193 && kanliot | 20:28 |
| silverarrow | does anyone know about ffmpeg on 12.04 powerpc build | 20:28 |
| kanliot | hi chris | 20:28 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hi kanliot | 20:28 |
| MrChrisDruif | silverarrow; what about it? | 20:28 |
| silverarrow | i am trying to make flash stream on an old ibook | 20:29 |
| silverarrow | with gnash | 20:29 |
| silverarrow | which requires a lot of attention | 20:29 |
| MrChrisDruif | Flash...<_<" | 20:29 |
| sev^^ | I wonder because my displayed ram is not 1gb but about 128mb less, which I think is what the gfx card is. When I had an install of XP it displayed 1gb when I had all the correct drivers installed | 20:29 |
| silverarrow | sev^^: they often do that, show up as a bit less for some reason | 20:30 |
| MrChrisDruif | sev^^; Does the videocard have virtual memory? | 20:30 |
| kanliot | sev^^, we'll try to help ya but you shouldn't worry about it if it's working ok | 20:30 |
| MrChrisDruif | Or is it a integrated videocard? | 20:31 |
| kanliot | one of the good things about linux is the way drivers are installed by default | 20:33 |
| sev^^ | yeah to be honest everything is working fine and smoothly. I just wondered whether I could squeeze some more out of this thing. I installed XP through virtual box so I could watch netflix, I have to set the resolution to 640x480 on both XP and Lubuntu in order to get it to just about work. It's fine but just a little annoying | 20:34 |
| TorpedoSkyline | Wow, so few Lubuntu users compared to Ubuntu in the IRC channels… Seems so wrong. =\ | 20:36 |
| kanliot | actually ubuntu channel is a great place for lubuntu questions | 20:36 |
| TorpedoSkyline | Wow really? ok. Good to know. =) | 20:37 |
| TorpedoSkyline | I'm installing Lubuntu for the first time on a personal machine side by side with FreeDOS and it seems to be working well… I've installed it on my sister's HP laptop (which has a Celeron M 1.4GHz and 512MB RAM) and it worked VERY well. | 20:38 |
| TorpedoSkyline | Glad to see a fast Linux GUI compared to others that have gone to pot. | 20:38 |
| kanliot | i chose lubuntu for 1 reason only, the rightmost pixel on scrollbars wasn't working | 20:44 |
| kanliot | in xubuntu, so i couldn't stand xubuntu | 20:44 |
| MrChrisDruif | kanliot; someone has been busy with the header I see? | 21:04 |
| kanliot | yeah i just noticed it now | 21:04 |
| MrChrisDruif | Btw, did someone remember where the settings are for the thumbnails in pcmanfm? | 21:04 |
| kanliot | edit/prefs? | 21:05 |
| kanliot | and did you ever go fedora or infernoOS yet chris? | 21:05 |
| * MrChrisDruif is currently running Fedora 17 =) | 21:06 | |
| MrChrisDruif | kanliot; https://www.facebook.com/groups/lubuntu.official/permalink/393992753990884/ | 21:06 |
| kanliot | gnome 3? | 21:06 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yup | 21:06 |
| MrChrisDruif | Blistering fast on my machine, not as slow and bloated as Ubuntu is | 21:06 |
| MrChrisDruif | Well, maybe as bloated, but still a lot faster | 21:06 |
| kanliot | i can't remember if i tried gnome 3 or not | 21:08 |
| MrChrisDruif | And "Axel" should make that number he finds there as big as possible (as was thinking in the right direction, was I not?) | 21:08 |
| kanliot | ahh he'll get more help if he is still confused | 21:08 |
| kanliot | i tried looking at the forum yesterday | 21:08 |
| kanliot | nothing but difficult and wierd questions | 21:08 |
| kanliot | made me feel not smart | 21:09 |
| kanliot | i think i tried mint 12 or 13 with the "gnome" extensions | 21:10 |
| Unit193 | Might want to join #lubuntu-offtopic though. | 21:11 |
| MrChrisDruif | You might Unit193, I'll just exit this channel. Thanks for the advice. | 21:24 |
| TorpedoSkyline | How does one install fonts on Lubuntu 12.04? | 21:48 |
| kanliot | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts | 21:53 |
| kanliot | there is a font viewer called charmap | 21:53 |
| kanliot | but installing it means using pcmanfm and /usr/share/fonts/truetype, fc-cache | 21:54 |
| TorpedoSkyline | lol | 21:56 |
| TorpedoSkyline | alright, thanks kanliot | 21:56 |
| kanliot | np | 21:57 |
| felichas | Hi I'm new to lubuntu. Just switched from laggy ubuntu 12.04 and now my 2005 Pentium M laptop is fast and usable again. | 23:55 |
| felichas | I want to keep it like that, therefore my following question: | 23:55 |
| felichas | I want to install gnucash, but apt-get is informing about many gnome dependencies. If I go ahead and install, will all those libraries always load into memory, or only whenever I use gnucash? | 23:55 |
| felichas | will they unload from memory when I quit gnucash? | 23:56 |
| kanliot | whats the package name? | 23:56 |
| kanliot | really felichas i'm not sure, | 23:57 |
| felichas | gnucash | 23:57 |
| kanliot | i would just install the thing | 23:57 |
| kanliot | sometimes services get installed | 23:58 |
| kanliot | but i looked at gnucash, it doesn't look that bad | 23:58 |
| kanliot | IMHO | 23:58 |
| felichas | not with this app. It's like amarok bringing behind all those kde libraries. It would be the same question actually. | 23:59 |
