[01:22] <silverarrow> Dr_willis: for ppc, neithi
[01:22] <silverarrow> sorry
[01:40] <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
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <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.
[01:44] <Unit193> And not always, no, that's "testers"
[01:44] <silverarrow> now you sound like a lovless grammar teacher
[01:45] <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> ?
[01:46] <silverarrow> true though
[01:46] <Unit193> Do you have a support question?
[01:47] <silverarrow> oh yes, which packages are recommended for mplayer to run in browser
[01:48] <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
[01:49] <silverarrow> on either pc or ppc
[03:32] <souliaq>  Someone knows about of the Strigi Desktop Search?

[09:37] <BlitzHere> Hi all! I wanted to install ubuntu but my system is quite old. I'm not sure whether to go with xubuntu or lubuntu. CAnanyone help?
[09:39] <pAt_> what are the specs of your old system BlitzHere ?
[14:26] <LAC> hey running free screen recorder but it's telling me Error creating AVI File, why is that?
[14:34] <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
[14:37] <LAC> holstein: how do i try to run it there and what application do you use to record screen videos?
[14:39] <holstein> LAC: i have had decent luck with gtk-recordmydesktop in the past
[14:40] <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
[14:42] <LAC> for example?
[14:44] <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
[14:45] <LAC> holstein: thanks his help alot
[15:39] <mohamad> hye
[15:39] <mohamad> how to install microsoft fonts in lubuntu 12.04
[19:44] <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)
[19:45] <Unit193> pitivi?
[19:46] <Unit193> (So said bestbot in #ubuntu-bots anyway. :P )
[19:46] <MrChrisDruif> Ghehe
[19:47] <MrChrisDruif> How light is it, because his system isn't very high capacity
[19:48] <Unit193> Video editing isn't the best idea then. :P
[19:49] <Unit193> But, as you saw those options. :P
[20:08] <sev^^> hi there, noob looking for some assistance with lubuntu
[20:09] <kanliot>  hi sev^^
[20:09] <SkippersBoss> !ask| sev^^,
[20:15] <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
[20:16] <kanliot> if additional drivers shows nothing, they might already be installed
[20:19] <sev^^> is there any way I can check?
[20:22] <kanliot> go to system profiler and benchmark and look for fglrx under kernel modules
[20:23] <kanliot> actually i'm not 100% sure that's the right way
[20:23] <kanliot> sorry
[20:24] <Unit193> Additional Drivers will have it if it's installed yet or not.
[20:27] <MrChrisDruif> Alright, it seems dvdstyler is a simple and workable program for his intentions
[20:28] <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?
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <MrChrisDruif> Or is it a integrated videocard?
[20:33] <kanliot> one of the good things about linux is the way drivers are installed by default
[20:34] <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
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <TorpedoSkyline> Wow really? ok. Good to know. =)
[20:38] <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.
[20:44] <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
[21:04] <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?
[21:05] <kanliot> edit/prefs?
[21:05] <kanliot> and did you ever go fedora or infernoOS yet chris?
[21:06]  * MrChrisDruif is currently running Fedora 17 =)

[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
[21:08] <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
[21:09] <kanliot> made me feel not smart
[21:10] <kanliot> i think i tried mint 12 or 13 with the "gnome" extensions
[21:11] <Unit193> Might want to join #lubuntu-offtopic though.
[21:24] <MrChrisDruif> You might Unit193, I'll just exit this channel. Thanks for the advice.
[21:48] <TorpedoSkyline> How does one install fonts on Lubuntu 12.04?
[21:53] <kanliot> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[21:53] <kanliot> there is a font viewer called charmap
[21:54] <kanliot> but installing it means using pcmanfm and /usr/share/fonts/truetype, fc-cache
[21:56] <TorpedoSkyline> lol
[21:56] <TorpedoSkyline> alright, thanks kanliot
[21:57] <kanliot> np
[23:55] <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?
[23:56] <felichas> will they unload from memory when I quit gnucash?
[23:56] <kanliot> whats the package name?
[23:57] <kanliot> really felichas i'm not sure,
[23:57] <felichas> gnucash
[23:57] <kanliot> i would just install the thing
[23:58] <kanliot> sometimes services get installed
[23:58] <kanliot> but i looked at gnucash, it doesn't look that bad
[23:58] <kanliot> IMHO
[23:59] <felichas> not with this app. It's like amarok bringing behind all those kde libraries. It would be the same question actually.
