[01:06] hi [01:17] test [01:18] Worked. [01:18] I must say, I've been using Lubuntu for 24 hours now and I'm extremely impressed! :o [01:18] Great, I'll be reinstalling soon as well. [01:21] lol thanks Unit193 [01:27] Hmm, doesn't come with any audio settings manager though? That's a little too minimalist imo [01:38] Open terminal, type alsamixer. [01:47] lolol that's badass [01:49] It'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) [01:50] Mhmm, right clicking on the sound icon and selecting Volume control brought up a rather unhelpful message mentioning alsamixer and pavucontrol [01:51] Anyway, sounds still not working so I'll try a restart [01:55] Okay.. One last question for now... [01:55] I'm playing YouTube videos... and everything appears to have a blue tinge? [01:56] Everyone looks like an avatar? o_o [01:56] Disable hw accel. [02:02] You're a hero Unit193 [02:03] Hah, glad I could help. [03:04] Does Dropbox work with Lubuntu? [03:05] Not in the same way as Ubuntu, but yes it does. [03:08] Doesn't seem to integrate with PCMan? As in there's no dropbox option when I right click files [03:08] So I cant get public links for files etc? [03:09] You can but only from the site. [03:11] If I were PCMan's father I'd be dissapoint. [03:13] http://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 photos [03:14] Haha. [03:14] And it's more that there's no plugin yet rather than something missing from Pcmanfm. === cleaninstall is now known as phi_scribe === cleaninstall_ is now known as phi_scribe [05:27] What's the default shortcut to open with uhhh... I don't wanna say start menu, on Lubuntu? [05:28] Ctrl+esc, iirc. You can check for more in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [05:35] Why not Ctrl+F7 [05:35] That's slightly more awkward to reach.. [05:36] This is more of a traditional keybind. [05:49] What's wrong with the magical meta key? [05:50] It conflicted with other keys, but you can add/readd that in. [09:20] hi [09:21] how do i change the settings for function keys [09:22] Well.... Guess I have to step up my speed to lightning... [09:22] you might then catch this little mermaid [13:53] lubuntu 12.04 is freeze on my toshiba satellite r630, sometimes. How can i correct it? [14:03] he is also experiencing same problem [14:14] petoo do you have the problem? [14:14] check your pc for apt-xapian-insdex [14:14] yea, the same problem [14:14] apt-xapian-index [14:14] what's that? [14:14] it's a package you might have installed [14:15] how do I check this? [14:16] you can always search in the pacakge manager of your choice [14:16] though I have been using ubuntu for past ~2 years , I don't know [14:16] sudo dpkg -l |grep xapian [14:16] oh [14:16] you can search for it in synaptic [14:16] actually [14:16] so I should remove it , ? [14:16] just look at synaptic, if you have quick search [14:16] i think that works, not 100% sure [14:17] !bug 655831 [14:17] Launchpad bug 655831 in apt-xapian-index (Ubuntu) "update-apt-xapian-index bogs down system" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/655831 [14:17] I have graphics problem too [14:17] i had a satellite... it was a graphics problem.. i always just forced the vesa driver [14:18] at first it works smoothly , but sometimes later , don't know what happens , then while scrolling page , I see that effect [14:18] like I don't have graphics driver [14:18] vesa ok [14:19] so should I run xconfgure? [14:19] xconfigure* [14:19] you can.. if it works for you [14:19] I don't remember that command [14:19] i typically grab a puppy live CD or knoppix, and get the desktop as i want it, and then grab the xorg.conf from there [14:19] oh , great [14:20] i might tweak a bit afterward [14:20] I am experiencing graphics problem since I switched to lubuntu [14:20] petoo: from whatZ? [14:20] what* [14:20] before that I was using ubuntu 8.04 [14:21] well, it has nothing to do with lubuntu.. lubuntu *is* ubuntu [14:21] everybody here suggested I should get 12.04, but I have very old computer [14:21] the differences are, the newer kernel [14:21] yes [14:21] I think its lxde [14:21] that's causing problem [14:21] its an 8.04 vs 12.04 issue.. not LXDE vs gnome [14:22] petoo: install a different environment to confirm that [14:22] yea , will that too. in ubuntu hardy I had installed KDE , XFCE as well [14:22] so I was using all three of them [14:23] wanted to know what lxde was like , because it was promisiing me lower memory requirements I chose lubuntu [14:24] install XFCE and confirm that the issue is LXDE [14:24] and I am impressed that my old computer can run eclipse indigo [14:24] i 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 compatible [14:24] I hope kanliot 's suggestion works [14:25] oh hell, kernel related . [14:25] I can't afford to do that [14:25] afford? [14:25] its free... [14:25] i can't spend my energy on that [14:25] petoo: i would also try 10.04 live.. i run 10.04 on lots of machines [14:26] I want an OS which doesnt consume much RAM , can run my java tools, yet it won't be termed as minimal OS [14:27] petoo: support for all devices cant stay in the kernel... it would be too large.. this is a likely cause for your issue [14:27] I run a lot of other things , and use it for experimentation [14:27] holstein: what's your guess? what is causing this problem? [14:27] petoo: 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 version [14:28] petoo: the graphics driver support, or lack there of [14:28] petoo: the kernel [14:28] petoo: 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 issue [14:29] petoo: 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 stage [14:29] It was slow, the Hardy, and several new softwares or say which were available to everybody but not me [14:30] like chrome browser [14:30] skype [14:30] petoo: its not supported any longer.. 8.04 [14:30] petoo: its EOL... [14:30] 10.04 is still supported... and you can get 12.04 working [14:30] that'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 time [14:31] just for one year isnt it? [14:31] petoo: im not suggesting you do [14:31] upto 2013 right? [14:31] petoo: for the desktop [14:31] I want LTS version [14:31] petoo: 10.04 *is* lts [14:31] Pangoline seemed promising [14:32] 10.04 is a bad choice unless you are forced into it [14:32] petoo: it is promising.. you'll just need to ass support for your deivce [14:32] but it won't be supported after 2013 holstein [14:32] I ll *ASS* support holstein :p [14:32] j/k [14:32] ? [14:33] your typo holstein [14:33] read your message [14:33] add* [14:33] add support [14:33] :D [14:34] I am already thinking about new machine , but won't trash away my old machine [14:34] it has been with me since 2003 [14:34] a P4 machine with 40 GB ram [14:35] enjoy! [14:35] 40MB? [14:35] GB [14:35] oops [14:35] r0 GB HDD [14:36] 40* [14:36] damn my typos [14:36] if you figure out your problems, please document them [14:37] do I need to send it to lubuntu? [14:37] i donno [14:38] depends [14:38] do you all use lubuntu? [14:44] ok bye [14:44] thanks for your help [14:59] how to install MS core fonts to lubuntu 12 [14:59] i need times new roman [15:03] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts [15:03] !font [15:03] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ [15:04] ok i found here [15:04] sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer [15:04] anyway it fdoesn't work in MS word 2003 [15:04] but it works in abiword :) [15:05] maybe you need to install them in wine also? [15:05] i donno [15:05] me neither :) [15:05] anyway, good idea :) [15:05] let me check [15:05] i do not need MS office, but i need to correct some word files and send them back [15:06] yep [15:06] in windows/fonts there is no timesd new roman :) [15:06] huh you might use libreoffice [15:06] abiword kind of sucks [15:10] yes, abiword sucks [15:10] anyway, you can't format in libre office and then reopen in MS office [15:10] it's kinda messy [15:10] are you sure, i'm pretty sure you can export or something [15:10] ? [15:11] or you can just run office under wine [15:11] works ok [15:11] i do have office [15:11] in wine [15:11] but there is no times new roman font [15:11] k [15:11] try restarting, brb [15:13] nice [15:13] reboot has helped :) [15:13] actually wine use /windows/fonts and all fonts from /usr/share/fonts [15:14] wow [15:14] i wonder if it was wine or ubuntu? which caused the problem [15:29] Evening. Whats the easiest way of migrating from Debian to Lubuntu? Is it possible to upgrade it? [15:33] move home to a /home partition UltraMC [15:33] Is "home partition" a command or I need type something in place of "partition"? [15:34] !move home [15:35] And? :) [15:35] umentation [15:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [15:35] it's actually not that easy [15:35] dang it [15:36] IMHO doing a full backup to another drive is easier [15:36] kanliot: after partitioning I will have to install all software again on the Lubuntu? I mean Java, APACHE etc [15:36] just backup everthing in home, including hidden [15:36] (its for webserver) [15:36] yeah [15:36] hmm [15:37] there probably is a way to add ubuntu packages to debian, i just donno hwo [15:37] Theoretical 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. [15:38] kanliot: Well the problem is that ubuntu IS a debian, just older. So I have to downgrade it really [15:38] some people here [15:38] export a list of packages [15:39] so they can reinstall them all [15:39] if you like servers, i'd run debian [15:44] does anyone know how to fix screen settings in lubuntu? [15:44] that's too vague [15:44] kanliot: thank you for help [15:47] my screen goes dormant after a few minutes, and I can`t find the settings that makes a difference [15:48] ho trovato un errore grafico su lubuntu 12.04 [15:49] The settings in "power manager" seems to be only for battery mode [15:49] se ho aperto un video su youtube, e se ho il terminale aperto, all'interno del terminale si vede il video [15:49] DimoShake, if I only spoke italia [15:49] italian* [15:49] silverarrow, either in screensaver or power manager, i donno [15:50] nothing in power manager at least [15:50] i can speak english [15:50] i find a bug in lubuntu 12.04.. i think [15:51] if i have open a video in youtube and if i have open a terminal, i can see the video in the terminal [15:52] DimoShake, you should file a bug against the graphics drivers you have [15:54] i have a nvidia geforce 9300m gs [15:55] kanliot, fund something under screensaver, might be it [15:55] DimoShake, it might be a gecko bug [15:56] or rather some other plugin bug [15:56] in firefox flash video replacer works only as stand alone [15:56] regular adobe is not for ppc [15:57] Gnash works in midori, but not at all in firefox [15:58] kanliot, it can`t be graphics driver can it? [16:02] for you or for him? [16:02] i kind of doubt it [16:03] probably just firefox and gnash [16:04] for him really, but I am having trouble with ppc [16:09] is the older adobe versions for powerpc still available ? [16:10] donno [18:20] how do I change leafpad's default encoding / codeset? [18:35] use gedit? [18:35] teeal [18:36] okay, I have gedit installed. how do I set the default encoding there? [18:40] hi. anyone that has experience with win7 and remote desktoping into lubuntu qith nxfree? im trying to figure it out :) http://askubuntu.com/questions/50503/why-do-i-get-unity-instead-of-classic-when-using-nx [18:41] i get this error with a blank screen [18:44] Not tried any NX for a while, but I'd recommend vnc over ssh if it's not local. [18:46] its local [18:49] so you need to save a new text file with 8859-something? [18:49] either save as [18:49] or open [18:49] yes? [18:49] i think there's a config in nx, go to the environment tab? [18:50] well i dont quite understand why it fails, but yes enviroment tab is open :) [18:52] i thnk nx cant handle the desktop lxde... and i shuld use nx with some session parameters [18:57] you might try connecting to lightdm but i'm just guessing Shogoot [19:00] Ive tried so many thing now.... [19:01] did you try startlubuntu? [19:01] the thing is... i want to connect to my lubuntu box from my win7 on the same network. If any of you got experience qith this and get it ti work i would love you to help me :) [19:03] kanliot, what is that? startlubuntu? [19:03] something i found when i googled "lxde nx" [19:04] sorry i can't help more [19:39] okay, moar trouble. I checked the autologin feature, did a reboot and now I'm basically locked out of my account. when I login with the right password, the screen flashes into terminal and then goes back to the login screen. [19:46] teeal can you login to openbox? [19:46] there's an option to choose session [19:46] on the lightdm screen [19:48] NVM, restored snapshot. all hail vbox. :D [19:48] yeah sounds good :) [20:05] hey [20:25] hmmm i just installed lubuntu 12.04 but i cant find the System Settings as i could before at the Preferences menu [20:25] anyone know where ti find them ? i want to change the monitor settings for my second screen i connected to my laptop [20:25] i 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 screens [20:27] how did you install your system? [20:27] there should be these applications [20:28] how i installed ? just from usb as i always do [20:33] okay [20:34] there should be probably application called lxrandr [20:35] yeah xrandr there is but i dont understand where the confiuguration screen of lubuntu went to [20:35] where u could just change any settings etc [20:36] notice the l at the begin of the word [20:36] and lxrandr doesnt let me change the position [20:36] i already found it in the menu [20:36] it just lets me turn on the sreen and set the resolution [20:36] but it doesnt let me change the position so both of my screen show the same thing [20:36] i want to extend my desktop to the second screen [20:39] maybe you had amd drivers installed before? [20:41] nahh, before i could just go to System Settings and get like a configuration menu where i would choose display options [20:41] and there i could change those settings [20:41] but now i dont even see that system settings anymore [20:43] if you installed drivers you would have a new control panel for graphics [20:43] hmmm [20:46] but as far as i know there are no linux drivers for this laptop [20:46] lol [20:46] everything just worked [20:52] arandr did the trick for me ;) [21:32] hi folks [21:33] Howdy. [21:33] i've a gt 610 graphic card i want to boot on the live cd [21:33] but it doesn't [21:33] the screen is totally bad after loading [21:34] which option to put to load generic drivers ? [21:34] *boot option [21:35] !nomodeset [21:35] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:38] okay i'll check it out thanks Unit193 [21:39] Sure thing, rest are at.... [21:39] !bootoptions [21:39] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [21:41] !quietsplash [21:41] well [21:41] if someone could clear what quiet splash is i would be grateful [21:42] That's what gives you the boot splash screen, remove that to see what's going on. [21:53] Unit193: okay [22:04] slt! [22:05] j'ai besoin d'un renseignement s'il vous plait! [22:05] !fr [22:05] Nous sommes désolés, mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[22:22] I have messed up settings in mplayer [22:23] anyone at all? [22:23] I cannot get back to where I was before I started [22:23] hi dove_g [22:23] so noone? [22:26] hi [22:26] hi [22:27] are you booted in lubuntu? [22:27] yes [22:28] could you do me a favor and open mplayer [22:28] then open preferances [22:29] don't use mplayer [22:29] i removec [22:29] i removed [22:29] I see [22:29] I messed with something and cannot make it go full screen again [22:30] hi szczur [22:30] click F :) [22:30] or install vlc [22:30] hi silverarrow :) [22:30] I have tried full sceen and f [22:31] install vlc? [22:31] are you booted in lubuntu szczur ? [22:31] I have vlc, it is sort of messed up too [22:31] did you try to remove all config? [22:31] uhm, nope. I'm using arch linux [22:32] oh I see [22:32] but what's the problem? [22:32] dove_g: no, but I suppose some of the config is a must, and was there by default? [22:32] I have messed up settings in mplayer, [22:32] ~/.mplayer/ [22:32] delete all this files [22:32] and cannot make it play in full screen anymore [22:32] when you rerun I think it will be recreated [22:33] oh [22:34] i don't like mplayer because lacks in subtitle support [22:35] some subtitles work though? [22:36] special characters [22:36] donest support i think diff charset [22:37] anyway, vlc is more advanced [22:37] yeah, maybe [22:37] I really like the gecko mplayer setup though [22:38] and flash video replacer in firefox, which work with mplayer [22:38] ok nice [22:38] must go to sllep [22:38] sllee [22:38] eh [22:38] gn [22:38] good night [22:39] lubuntu is giving me lots of error messages [22:39] worrying
