[00:12] anyone know how to edit the rightclick menu? === len is now known as Guest55518 [05:35] hello [05:36] i installed lubuntu but if i want to enter in audio panel i have this message: Error, you need to install a application to configure the sound (pavucontol, alsamixer ...) [05:36] what do i do? [05:40] Audio panel? Seems you have pulse, if you don't really have a reason too, may as well remove it. Also, open a terminal and type `alsamixer` [05:42] ok i open alsamixer [05:46] now, what do i do? [07:24] update problem on lubuntu 12.04 [07:25] I am trying to install the updates after downloading. After downloading 130MB of updates... now its saying to check my internet connection because its becoming failed to download a 9KB file === ram is now known as Guest95450 [08:34] Lubuntu is not shutting down properly ! I could still see the power light on. What should I do ? [08:36] blame acpi or something [08:37] This happens frequently when ever I press the shutdown button [08:38] How to identify and rectify the problem ? [08:52] Hello, I'm looking for a quick answer to my question in a setting in Lubuntu. [08:52] Is this the right place? [08:53] might be [08:54] I was formerly using chromium-browser and had it set-up to open on a specific desktop, I changed to firefox and when changed that setting in the XML file firefox doesn't load on the proper desktop but the main instead. [08:55] How to fix the improper shutdown in my lubuntu ? [08:56] My setting in lubuntu-rc.xml is [08:56] [08:56] 3 [08:56] true [08:56] [08:58] ram19890 what is the problem when it shuts down? [08:59] It shows only the blue power light , the screen is off [09:00] I could still hear the fan sound , in my laptop [09:03] Is the power light blinking or consistent? [09:03] lamogo: Don't remember how that works exactly, but could be because firefox is running from /usr/lib/firefox/firefox [09:05] Consistent [09:09] ah ok. Thanks Unit193. I had tried "/usr/bin/firefox" before as well. Let me try that. [09:10] ram19890 which method are you using to shutdown? Are you using the "shutdown/logout" buttons that bring up a context menu with different options? [09:11] I am been get the same issue from the last 4 versions of lubuntu [09:11] Have you tried from a terminal using the "shutdown -h 0" as root? [09:12] Yes I use the normal shutdown/logout, exactly the same! [09:13] Have you googled this problem with your specific computer model? [09:14] Well, i search google and I visited the askubuntu, i followed the instructions , still i am getting the issue [09:15] I am having Dell Vostro 1500 [09:15] Which instructions did you follow? Is there a link? [09:17] http://askubuntu.com/questions/125844/shutdown-does-not-power-off-computer [09:20] ram19890 looks like it might be a bug. Have you tried the command "sudo poweroff"? [09:21] I had tried that it will work! [09:22] ok, what about changing the grub options, have you tried that? [09:23] I was wondering why when I boot a live cd my windows partitions are automatically mounted and accessable but after the (lubuntu) install I have to enter the (windows) password to access the partitions [09:26] I usually set my default section to windows, but after the update the setting will change back to the lubuntu. Even though I change the setting , i am geetin this issue, from the last 4 versions [09:30] ok, so if you change the grub config the computer shuts down properly, but the main boot device changes from your windows partition to lubuntu? [09:34] Right,After an update [09:36] ok so looks like you have some options. Do you ever use the other options on the shutdown menu other than "shutdown"? [09:39] Ok , i am not sure , i will try both and will report it [09:51] Sudo poweroff works but not the shutdown -h now ! [09:51] From ram_ [09:55] I'd recommend changing the grub config file and if updating grub decides to boot to lubuntu you can change the default OS again to windows following this link. [09:55] help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/ChangeDefaultOS [09:58] You could also change what command LXDE runs when clicking the power button on the screen to "sudo poweroff" If you do that you'll need to changed the settings in visudo so that "poweroff" could run with sudo privlages without entering a password. [09:58] Hope that helps. [09:59] menu.lst is not there in the grub [10:00] menu.lst is kept in /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:01] Thats right , its not there ! [10:03] How could I be missing one important file and is still working ? [10:04] I don't have it either so don't panic.

[18:09] said like that on tutorial [18:09] could you link me to that because that's an error [18:09] watching a youtube one [18:10] you might try nano instead of "vi-" [18:10] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwMXIBzHtxg&feature=relmfu [18:10] it's much easier for the average person to work with [18:10] im a total noob at linux mate haha [18:10] i can't do much about the video. thought it was on the wiki [18:10] i have no clue what im doing [18:10] http://www.google.se/imgres?um=1&hl=sv&sa=N&biw=1623&bih=889&tbm=isch&tbnid=k16XQqbPnvY9JM:&imgrefurl=http://science.memebase.com/tag/i-have-no-idea-what-im-doing/&docid=yq6llWXynz-U9M&imgurl=http://chzscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/funny-science-news-experiments-memes-dog-science-fuzzy-logic.jpg&w=500&h=282&ei=n8IaUO6nKcn34QSS9IGwAw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=225&sig=103805856345013206132&page [18:10] =1&tbnh=121&tbnw=215&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0,i:80&tx=87&ty=42 [18:10] SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH [18:11] do this: [18:11] 1. hit alt-f2 [18:11] 2. in the run dialog type: "gksudo leafpad /etc/samba/smb.conf" [18:11] 3. hit enter or ok or whatever [18:11] 4. enter your password [18:11] thanks [18:11] 5. edit graphically [18:11] way easier [18:12] what does gksudo stand for [18:12] and how do i exit a "text" file in terminal without F* it up [18:12] Gosy, what's wrong with the samba? [18:12] gksudo is graphical sudo [18:12] bioterror : nothing mate. Just me being a total noob [18:12] and what you want your samba to do? [18:12] I just want to share a folder on my network [18:13] without permissions? [18:13] so i can put stuff in there on my main pc [18:13] no, this is for home use [18:13] it should share it without asking users? [18:13] on this specific map, yes [18:14] FOLDER [18:14] not map [18:14] so you want like: \\ip.add.re.ss\share\ and it just shows the stuff without username and password? [18:14] Yeah if possible [18:14] Gosy: also if you prefer to do your editing in the terminal try "sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf" you can use vi but if you've never used it, iw ouldn't recommend it. steep learning curve and not user friendly [18:15] But i want in the same network group as my other windows pc's [18:15] thanks wxl, helpfull [18:16] Gosy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1125637/ [18:16] replace sad157 with your username [18:16] and add that to the end of your /etc/samba/smb.conf [18:17] force user :sad137? [18:17] sad157* [18:17] ah ok [18:17] Gosy, when you configure your samba, you should notice that you want to add that workgroup correct ;) [18:17] it's top of the smb.conf that workgroup section [18:17] path is also wrong [18:17] are there any known keyboard shortcuts in lubuntu when I type fast I tend to make a lot of mistakes and things happen :) [18:17] bioterror : yeah, did that already [18:18] Gosy, sudo service samba restart [18:18] Oe_eden: yes. [18:19] Gosy, if that doesnt work [18:19] you should then do following: smbpasswd -a username [18:19] add that users username and give it a password, which home folder you're trying to share [18:19] wxl: allright! thx [18:20] Oe_eden: do you want to knwo what they all are? you can disable any or all of them if you like. [18:20] wxl, this helps I guess http://d.hatena.ne.jp/masami256/20110824/1314115532 [18:21] Oe_eden, ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml has all the shortcuts [18:21] Oe_eden: what he said ↑ [18:21] you can modify them from there to suit you better [18:21] Oe_eden: and by editing that you change the configuration [18:21] but also selecting a tab in chromium & 2 finger scrolling will scroll trough the tabs -> this is new for me :) [18:21] that is weird! [18:21] that's a chromium thing [18:22] and only if the mouse is on top of the tabs [18:22] yes [18:22] not a feature but a bug ? [18:22] no, a strange feature [18:22] its actually handy :) [18:22] i'm not too fond of it but it's fine [18:23] but my problem is more with window tabbing [18:23] i can be typing here and bam im in my terminal [18:23] might be my crooked fingers though ;) [18:23] ctrl-alt-t [18:23] ctrl-tab I use [18:24] for windows switching [18:24] so do i [18:24] of course t and tab are no where near one another [18:24] but for some reason I sometimes get tabbed to a different window [18:24] How do i change workgroup on lubuntu by the way? [18:24] Gosy, from the smb.conf [18:24] ah sweet [18:24] done that then [18:24] but it's fine [18:26] btw apt-cache search has a whole lot more packages than the lubuntu software center: this is because only lubuntu optimized packages are in software center? [18:26] apt > synaptic > lubuntu software center [18:26] synaptic = apt [18:27] pretty much yeah Oe_eden [18:27] ok but its also pretty 'messy' [18:28] because if you search for xchat there a 2 [18:28] are [18:28] you can try to figure things out by searching packages.ubuntu.com [18:28] or coupling it with apt-cache info [18:28] Im used to apt-cache [18:29] i mean synaptic/lsc pulls it all from the same place [18:29] yes [18:29] all of those things (even aptitude) are really nothing more than front ends to apt [18:29] which is why i don't bother with anything but apt [18:29] yes [18:30] btw any good (web) fonts that you guys use? [18:32] can't find [18:32] my linux share now on my pc [18:32] Gosy, try \\ip.address.sss\ [18:34] the kerning in ubuntu (linux distros) always looks a bit 'off' [18:35] lol [18:35] my inet addr : 127.0.0.1 [18:35] :S [18:35] think i have to reboot [18:38] yeah fonts seem lagging behind in unicies [18:40] bioterror : awseom [18:40] works now === slow-motion_ is now known as slow-motion [18:42] good [18:44] ho [18:44] tho [18:44] it seems [18:44] i forgott to give any permission [18:44] lol [18:44] :\ === jalcine is now known as Jacky === len is now known as Guest9586 [22:59] having issues with samba again [22:59] for some reasons [22:59] my configs doesn't work anymore :\
