rawfodogtest01:17
Unit193Worked.01:18
SamanaghI must say, I've been using Lubuntu for 24 hours now and I'm extremely impressed! :o01:18
Unit193Great, I'll be reinstalling soon as well.01:18
rawfodoglol thanks Unit19301:21
SamanaghHmm, doesn't come with any audio settings manager though? That's a little too minimalist imo01:27
Unit193Open terminal, type alsamixer.01:38
Samanaghlolol that's badass01:47
Unit193It's handy, they were looking to see if it's an option to make a launcher in the menu to open that in terminal directly, but based on not knowing what terminal to use by default, or not knowing what the user had set, didn't make it. (IIRC)01:49
SamanaghMhmm, right clicking on the sound icon and selecting Volume control brought up a rather unhelpful message mentioning alsamixer and pavucontrol01:50
SamanaghAnyway, sounds still not working so I'll try a restart01:51
SamanaghOkay.. One last question for now...01:55
SamanaghI'm playing YouTube videos... and everything appears to have a blue tinge?01:55
SamanaghEveryone looks like an avatar? o_o01:56
Unit193Disable hw accel.01:56
SamanaghYou're a hero Unit19302:02
Unit193Hah, glad I could help.02:03
SamanaghDoes Dropbox work with Lubuntu?03:04
Unit193Not in the same way as Ubuntu, but yes it does.03:05
SamanaghDoesn't seem to integrate with PCMan? As in there's no dropbox option when I right click files03:08
SamanaghSo I cant get public links for files etc?03:08
Unit193You can but only from the site.03:09
SamanaghIf I were PCMan's father I'd be dissapoint.03:11
Phiscribehttp://askubuntu.com/questions/49531/how-can-i-integrate-dropbox-with-pcmanfm    dunno if that works, but i dont mind bieng a google bot as im bored senseless scanning photos03:13
Unit193Haha.03:14
Unit193And it's more that there's no plugin yet rather than something missing from Pcmanfm.03:14
=== cleaninstall is now known as phi_scribe
=== cleaninstall_ is now known as phi_scribe
SamanaghWhat's the default shortcut to open with uhhh... I don't wanna say start menu, on Lubuntu?05:27
Unit193Ctrl+esc, iirc.   You can check for more in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml05:28
SamanaghWhy not Ctrl+F705:35
SamanaghThat's slightly more awkward to reach..05:35
Unit193This is more of a traditional keybind.05:36
SamanaghWhat's wrong with the magical meta key?05:49
Unit193It conflicted with other keys, but you can add/readd that in.05:50
ariel__hi09:20
ariel__how do i change the settings for function keys09:21
Unit193Well.... Guess I have to step up my speed to lightning...09:22

muhammedlubuntu 12.04 is freeze on my toshiba satellite r630, sometimes. How can i correct it?13:53
petoohe is also experiencing same problem14:03
kanliotpetoo do you have the problem?14:14
kanliotcheck your pc for apt-xapian-insdex14:14
petooyea, the same problem14:14
kanliotapt-xapian-index14:14
petoowhat's that?14:14
kanliotit's a package you might have installed14:14
petoohow do I check this?14:15
holsteinyou can always search in the pacakge manager of your choice14:16
petoothough I have been using ubuntu for past ~2 years , I don't know14:16
kanliotsudo dpkg -l |grep xapian14:16
petoooh14:16
kanliotyou can search for it in synaptic14:16
kanliotactually14:16
petooso I should remove it , ?14:16
kanliotjust look at synaptic, if you have quick search14:16
kanlioti think that works, not 100% sure14:16
kanliot!bug 65583114:17

petooI have graphics problem too14:17
holsteini had a satellite... it was a graphics problem.. i always just forced the vesa driver14:17
petooat first it works smoothly , but sometimes later , don't know what happens , then while scrolling page , I see that effect14:18
petoolike I don't have graphics driver14:18
petoovesa ok14:18
petooso should I run xconfgure?14:19
petooxconfigure*14:19
holsteinyou can.. if it works for you14:19
petooI don't remember that command14:19
holsteini typically grab a puppy live CD or knoppix, and get the desktop as i want it, and then grab the xorg.conf from there14:19
petoooh , great14:19
holsteini might tweak a bit afterward14:20
petooI am experiencing graphics problem since I switched to lubuntu14:20
holsteinpetoo: from whatZ?14:20
holsteinwhat*14:20
petoobefore that I was using ubuntu 8.0414:20
holsteinwell, it has nothing to do with lubuntu.. lubuntu *is* ubuntu14:21
petooeverybody here suggested I should get 12.04, but I have very old computer14:21
holsteinthe differences are, the newer kernel14:21
petooyes14:21
petooI think its lxde14:21
petoothat's causing problem14:21
holsteinits an 8.04 vs 12.04 issue.. not LXDE vs gnome14:21
holsteinpetoo: install a different environment to confirm that14:22
petooyea , will that too. in ubuntu hardy I had installed KDE , XFCE as well14:22
petooso I was using all three of them14:22
petoowanted to know what lxde was like , because it was promisiing me lower memory requirements I chose lubuntu14:23
holsteininstall XFCE and confirm that the issue is LXDE14:24
petooand I am impressed that my old computer can run eclipse indigo14:24
holsteini think you'll find that it is kernel/kernel module related.. either something pulled out of the kernel you need, or something that is not compatible14:24
petooI hope kanliot 's suggestion works14:24
petoooh hell, kernel related .14:25
petooI can't afford to do that14:25
holsteinafford?14:25
holsteinits free...14:25
petooi can't spend my energy on that14:25
holsteinpetoo: i would also try 10.04 live.. i run 10.04 on lots of machines14:25
petooI want an OS which doesnt consume much RAM , can run my java tools, yet it won't be termed as minimal OS14:26
holsteinpetoo: support for all devices cant stay in the kernel... it would be too large.. this is a likely cause for your issue14:27
petooI run a lot of other things , and use it for experimentation14:27
petooholstein: what's your guess? what is causing this problem?14:27
holsteinpetoo: its not the OS that is the issue.. its the hardware is a bit outdated.. you might need to add support for it into a modern kernel, or run an ealier version14:27
holsteinpetoo: the graphics driver support, or lack there of14:28
holsteinpetoo: the kernel14:28
holsteinpetoo: the machine is older, and thats fine, but, if it was working fine in 8.04, that is the difference that am proposing would cause the issue14:28
holsteinpetoo: there is nothing wrong with your hardware, nor the kernel... not the operating system.. there is just likely not "out of the box" support for it at this stage14:29
petooIt was slow, the Hardy, and several new softwares or say which were available to everybody but not me14:29
petoolike chrome browser14:30
petooskype14:30
holsteinpetoo: its not supported any longer.. 8.0414:30
holsteinpetoo: its EOL...14:30
holstein10.04 is still supported... and you can get 12.04 working14:30
petoothat's why I can't go back to 8.04 , I haven't formatted it yet , I am backing up my all data , and will take time14:30
petoojust for one year isnt it?14:31
holsteinpetoo: im not suggesting you do14:31
petooupto 2013 right?14:31
holsteinpetoo: for the desktop14:31
petooI want LTS version14:31
holsteinpetoo: 10.04 *is* lts14:31
petooPangoline seemed promising14:31
kanliot10.04 is a bad choice unless you are forced into it14:32
holsteinpetoo: it is promising.. you'll just need to ass support for your deivce14:32
petoobut it won't be supported after 2013 holstein14:32
petooI ll *ASS* support holstein  :p14:32

dove_gyep15:06
dove_gin windows/fonts there is no timesd new roman :)15:06
kanliothuh you might use libreoffice15:06
kanliotabiword kind of sucks15:06
dove_gyes, abiword sucks15:10
dove_ganyway, you can't format in libre office and then reopen in MS office15:10
dove_git's kinda messy15:10
kanliotare you sure, i'm pretty sure you can export or something15:10
kanliot?15:10
kanliotor you can just run office under wine15:11
kanliotworks ok15:11
dove_gi do have office15:11
dove_gin wine15:11
dove_gbut there is no times new roman font15:11

dove_greboot has helped :)15:13
dove_gactually wine use /windows/fonts and all fonts from /usr/share/fonts15:13

UltraMCEvening. Whats the easiest way of migrating from Debian to Lubuntu? Is it possible to upgrade it?15:29
kanliotmove home to a /home partition UltraMC15:33
UltraMCIs "home partition" a command or I need type something in place of "partition"?15:33
kanliot!move home15:34
UltraMCAnd? :)15:35
kanliotumentation15:35
kanliothttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving15:35
kanliotit's actually not that easy15:35
UltraMCdang it15:35
kanliotIMHO doing a full backup to another drive is easier15:36
UltraMCkanliot: after partitioning I will have to install all software again on the Lubuntu? I mean Java, APACHE etc15:36
kanliotjust backup everthing in home, including hidden15:36
UltraMC(its for webserver)15:36
kanliotyeah15:36
UltraMChmm15:36
kanliotthere probably is a way to add ubuntu packages to debian, i just donno hwo15:37
UltraMCTheoretical question: What is going to happen if I run 2 systems and every one will have mysql enabled? I bet one will use up my port, and second will be unresponsive.15:37
UltraMCkanliot: Well the problem is that ubuntu IS a debian, just older. So I have to downgrade it really15:38
kanliotsome people here15:38
kanliotexport a list of packages15:38
kanliotso they can reinstall them all15:39
kanliotif you like servers, i'd run debian15:39

silverarrownothing in power manager at least15:50
DimoShakei can speak english15:50
DimoShakei find a bug in lubuntu 12.04.. i think15:50
DimoShakeif i have open a video in youtube and if i have open a terminal, i can see the video in the terminal15:51
kanliotDimoShake, you should file a bug against the graphics drivers you have15:52
DimoShakei have a nvidia geforce 9300m gs15:54
silverarrowkanliot, fund something under screensaver, might be it15:55
silverarrowDimoShake, it might be a gecko bug15:55
silverarrowor rather some other plugin bug15:56
silverarrowin firefox flash video replacer works only as stand alone15:56
silverarrowregular adobe is not for ppc15:56
silverarrowGnash works in midori, but not at all in firefox15:57
silverarrowkanliot, it can`t be graphics driver can it?15:58
kanliotfor you or for him?16:02
kanlioti kind of doubt it16:02
kanliotprobably just firefox and gnash16:03
silverarrowfor him really, but I am having trouble with ppc16:04

psilo23anyone know where ti find them ? i want to change the monitor settings for my second screen i connected to my laptop20:25
psilo23i always changed the settings from inside there, to put it left of the screen of my laptop, now i cant change the positions of the screens20:25
bioterrorhow did you install your system?20:27
bioterrorthere should be these applications20:27
psilo23how i installed ? just from usb as i always do20:28
bioterrorokay20:33
bioterrorthere should be probably application called lxrandr20:34
psilo23yeah xrandr there is but i dont understand where the confiuguration screen of lubuntu went to20:35
psilo23where u could just change any settings etc20:35
bioterrornotice the l at the begin of the word20:36
psilo23and lxrandr doesnt let me change the position20:36
psilo23i already found it in the menu20:36
psilo23it just lets me turn on the sreen and set the resolution20:36
psilo23but it doesnt let me change the position so both of my screen show the same thing20:36
psilo23i want to extend my desktop to the second screen20:36
kanliotmaybe you had amd drivers installed before?20:39
psilo23nahh, before i could just go to System Settings and get like a configuration menu where i would choose display options20:41
psilo23and there i could change those settings20:41
psilo23but now i dont even see that system settings  anymore20:41
kanliotif you installed drivers you would have a new control panel for graphics20:43
psilo23hmmm20:43
psilo23but as far as i know there are no linux drivers for this laptop20:46
psilo23lol20:46
psilo23everything just worked20:46
