| Ahmuck | i don't seem to have sound prefrences | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Ahmuck | 2. Navigate there via the System menu: System -> Preferences -> Sound. | 00:01 |
| Ahmuck | via 8237 | 00:01 |
| kanliot | ya, sound prefs is ubuntu | 00:02 |
| kanliot | not on lubuntu | 00:02 |
| Ahmuck | k, so troubleshooting doesn't seem to work. | 00:02 |
| kanliot | what step are you on? | 00:07 |
| Ahmuck | OsoVerde:~$ grep "Codec:" /proc/asound/card*/codec* | 00:12 |
| Ahmuck | shows nothing | 00:12 |
| Ahmuck | i assume this means that the OS is not recognizing the sound card | 00:12 |
| kanliot | what page is that on? | 00:13 |
| Ahmuck | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/HDAGeneric | 00:13 |

| kanliot | can you do sudo aplay -l | 00:15 |

| W4sp | `Marshall: marshall__ Are you still there....? | 00:25 |
| marshall__ | yes | 00:27 |
| W4sp | Hey, how's it going? | 00:27 |
| marshall__ | just got back to the house.. had to get some food | 00:28 |
| W4sp | marshall__: lucky you. Let me know when you are ready as I figured out something that may help. | 00:28 |
| marshall__ | i'm ready | 00:28 |
| W4sp | OK, first of all we need to get your font in TErminal big enough so that you can actually work with it. ;-) | 00:29 |
| marshall__ | i can ssh into this box from another computer ;) | 00:30 |
| W4sp | I would recommend to open a terminal and type 'xterm -fa Mono -fs 16 or whatever suits you best. | 00:30 |
| marshall__ | actually.. i think i have an idea | 00:32 |
| W4sp | Very good. Let's do it. SSH into the box and go to the home folder where you need to apply some changes. | 00:32 |
| W4sp | Shoot. | 00:32 |
| Ahmuck | i have forgotten my sudo password | 00:32 |
| W4sp | Do you want me to hack your root account? ;-) | 00:33 |
| W4sp | Sorry Ahmuck. I thought it was someone else talking to me. | 00:33 |
| kanliot | Ahmuck, do you use your passw to login? | 00:33 |
| Ahmuck | yes | 00:34 |
| Ahmuck | i suppose | 00:34 |
| kanliot | that should be you sudo pw | 00:35 |
| W4sp | marshall__: `Marshall Are you ready? | 00:35 |
| marshall__ | not quite | 00:36 |
| marshall__ | i'm on a roll i think | 00:36 |
| marshall__ | :D | 00:36 |
| marshall__ | what does that command do, btw? | 00:36 |
| W4sp | marshall__: It opens xterm from xterm with larger font so you can read it. | 00:37 |
| W4sp | marshall__: Is there a long way to open a terminal? | 00:38 |
| Ahmuck | k, not sure how to retrive password | 00:38 |
| Ahmuck | so, i hear low sound, barely, which means it is working somewhat. is there a way to boost the power output | 00:38 |
| marshall__ | a long way? | 00:39 |
| kanliot | Ahmuck, you have a laptop? | 00:41 |
| W4sp | marshall__: OK, however. At some point you have a terminal. See if you have in ~/.config a directory lxsession. If it's not there create it. It lxsession create another directory LXDE. cp two files into it. cp /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and desktop.conf to /home/<you>/.config/lxsession/LXDE | 00:42 |
| marshall__ | O.o | 00:43 |
| marshall__ | i'm a newbie.. | 00:43 |
| marshall__ | soo | 00:43 |
| Ahmuck | yes, i have a laptop | 00:43 |
| marshall__ | i was talking to a guy from LXDE.. he has me on another mission with GTK Theme Switch | 00:44 |
| marshall__ | any idea how to access that with lubuntu? | 00:44 |
| kanliot | Ahmuck, use alsamixer to turn up volume, also check if laptop has volume turned up, its usually the "fucntion" key with combination with some keys marked volume up/down | 00:45 |
| W4sp | marshall__: Then vi desktop.conf and change sGtk/FontName=Sans 16 or even higher should you need it. | 00:45 |
| kanliot | W4sp, is this just to change font in xchat? | 00:46 |
| Ahmuck | kanliot: this is a desktop | 00:46 |
| Ahmuck | i have the volume up on alsamixer all the way | 00:46 |
| kanliot | Ahmuck, there are several mixers | 00:46 |
| W4sp | marshall__: kanliot That's to change the font of menues in LXDE | 00:46 |
| kanliot | if both mixers are up, then i can'thelp | 00:46 |
| kanliot | did you check the font size in "look and feel"? | 00:47 |
| kanliot | "default font size" | 00:47 |
| W4sp | marshall__: kanliot It will effect everything, including menues and x-chat. | 00:47 |
| marshall__ | W4sp, sorry... where is /config? | 00:47 |
| kanliot | well if he opens "look and feel" and it works, then that would be easier | 00:48 |
| W4sp | kanliot: Could you guide hime through please. | 00:48 |
| kanliot | use the start menu to find "custom look and feel" under perferences. | 00:49 |
| kanliot | change default font | 00:49 |
| kanliot | that's it | 00:49 |
| W4sp | Thanks kanliot | 00:50 |
| kanliot | :) | 00:51 |
| W4sp | !cookies | kanliot | 00:54 |
| ubottu | kanliot: Cookies are delicious delicacies. | 00:54 |
| marshall__ | kanliot, i've tried that | 00:56 |
| Ahmuck | iirc i can reset password with a boot disk | 00:56 |
| Ahmuck | correct? | 00:56 |
| kanliot | Ahmuck, your sudo password is same as login password on ubuntu | 00:56 |
| kanliot | k? | 00:56 |
| Ahmuck | computer is autologging in | 00:57 |
| kanliot | marshall__, please install and run xchat-gnome | 00:57 |
| marshall__ | it;s not an xchat issue | 00:57 |
| kanliot | ? | 00:57 |
| kanliot | Ahmuck, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword | 00:58 |
| marshall__ | kanliot, what happened was.. i've been using LXDE.. i upgraded to a 32" monitor (for videos) since then.. when using LXDE _ALL_ my text is extremely small. sans web browsers (chrome/firefox) | 01:00 |
| kanliot | marshall__, did you reboot? | 01:00 |
| marshall__ | so, we're talking my taskbar, my clock, my desktop, any programs (terminal, look and feel, xchat, etc) ... everything | 01:01 |

| kanliot | make sure audio is set to maximum | 01:09 |
| W4sp | marshall__: `Marshall OK, where are we now? Did you logout/login again? | 01:10 |

| marshall__ | W4sp, why am i logging out and back in? | 01:10 |
| marshall__ | i haven't made any changes | 01:11 |
| W4sp | marshall__: Because kanliot suggested you make the changes and reboot the system. My question was it it worked. | 01:11 |
| marshall__ | i havent made any changes, i was under the impression kanliot was advising to change font size with lxappearance | 01:13 |
| kanliot | after rebooting | 01:13 |
| kanliot | i've had similar problems with font size when running WINE | 01:13 |
| marshall__ | i've rebooted many times | 01:13 |
| W4sp | marshall__: Did you apply the changes kanliot suggested? | 01:13 |
| marshall__ | lxappearance only changes active menu windows it seems | 01:14 |
| marshall__ | yes. no hel[p | 01:14 |
| marshall__ | *help | 01:14 |
| W4sp | marshall__: OK, do you think you can SSH into the box or run xterm from the box in question and follow my suggestion to copy and change a few files. I can give you the exact commands but I need your feedback on what's going on. | 01:15 |
| marshall__ | W4sp, yes. give me 5 min | 01:16 |
| marshall__ | and thank you | 01:16 |
| W4sp | marshall__: OK, I will now log out again and get back to my LXDE as I use a different DE. | 01:17 |

| n150p | hi all | 14:21 |
| n150p | is there a way to deselect some of the default packages while installing lubuntu from a livedisk? | 14:28 |
| smile | n150p: no, but you can try to use the minimal install if you like? or remove packages afterwards? :) | 14:30 |
| silverarrow | hi | 14:31 |
| silverarrow | does anyone know about printers with ink cartridges ? | 14:32 |
| n150p | smile, thank you. | 14:32 |
| smile | n150p: you are welcome | 14:32 |
| silverarrow | there should be a way to clean cartrige heads or something | 14:32 |
| smile | silverarrow: well printers are always difficult. Try and look for yourself on google.com - I always do that myself. Every model is different :( | 14:33 |
| silverarrow | yeah, in windows I do it from printer setup | 14:33 |
| silverarrow | I cannot find the equivalent function in lubuntu | 14:34 |
| smile | there is a printer function also :) | 14:34 |
| smile | in your menu | 14:34 |
| silverarrow | the printer works | 14:34 |
| smile | the administration submenu maybe? :) | 14:35 |
| silverarrow | I have added printer and it prints, but the cleaning function is missing I think | 14:35 |
| n150p | silverarrow, as far as i know you need an appropriate driver for such operations. chances are, there is none. you should write in with the support of the printer's manufacturer | 14:46 |
| silverarrow | darn | 14:46 |
| silverarrow | turned out to be rather cumbersome | 14:47 |
| n150p | yep. printing is easy, maintenance is not. | 14:47 |
| n150p | one can consider buying hardware from linux-friendly brands the next time ;) | 14:47 |
| silverarrow | true | 14:48 |
| silverarrow | this is a regular hp thing, deskjet something, rather old too, | 14:48 |
| silverarrow | However, after installing a new cartridge it works fine | 14:49 |
| silverarrow | the first page was a bit smudgy, second sharp and clean | 14:49 |
| n150p | congrats ;) | 14:50 |
| n150p | you solved the problem | 14:50 |
| silverarrow | I did :-) , or it sort of sorted it`s self out after test printing | 14:50 |

| veneco | hi... I have lubuntu on my laptop... but some programs slow down my laptop... and I want to install gnome desktop ( I don't want unity 3D).... | 16:02 |
| veneco | if I use this instruction: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 16:02 |
| veneco | I get unity 3D or gnome session? | 16:02 |
| holstein | veneco: even gnome is diffrent now.. ubuntu is using unity, so that will get you unity | 16:03 |
| holstein | veneco: gnome 3 is quite unity like.. if you are looking for gnome2, you might consider XFCE... xubuntu-desktop | 16:03 |
| holstein | though, lubuntu (LXDE) is quite light and lean, and i doubt you will find a change increases the performance of any applications | 16:04 |
| holstein | i would start by having realistic expectations of the hardware... | 16:04 |
| veneco | holstein: When I run some programs... for example QT design..... my laptop changes very mucho... it's very slow.... | 16:05 |
| veneco | I have a Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4 GB Ram and NVidia 256 MB | 16:06 |
| holstein | veneco: feel free and try gnome or whatever.. but i think you'll find that the performance is likely the same.. if its pulled in KDE libs, and using QT, i find QT just a bit "pokey" by comparison | 16:06 |
| veneco | holstein: I had Ubuntu 12.04, the laptop runs a little slow but Qt ran very good.... and now.... with ldxe desktop... My laptop runs very well but Qt isn't working | 16:10 |
| veneco | I think that I install gnome, is possible that Qt runs fine... isn't? | 16:11 |
| holstein | veneco: should have not effect.. you can try running from the command line and look for error messages | 16:11 |
| holstein | you can try XFC, or install gnome-shell if you want.. gnome3 | 16:12 |
| holstein | XFCE* | 16:12 |
| veneco | holstein: I'm sorry for this question, but, gnome-shell IS NOT the GUI desktop by default on Ubuntu.... right? | 16:17 |
| bioterror | ha | 16:18 |
| bioterror | veneco, you want Mate desktop | 16:18 |
| bioterror | that's exactly what you're after | 16:18 |
| bioterror | I'm running SalixOS 13.37 with Mate on my sluggish laptop and it performs better than Lubuntu :P | 16:18 |
| veneco | bioterror: I want a gui-desktop based on gnome | 16:20 |
| bioterror | Mate = fork of Gnome 2 | 16:21 |
| veneco | but I don't want unity | 16:21 |
| veneco | bioterror: thanks.... | 16:21 |
| bioterror | unfortunately Ubuntu doesnt have mate version, yet. I think | 16:21 |
| veneco | jejejeje.... | 16:21 |
| bioterror | https://picasaweb.google.com/112221415637723651000/Salix1337MATEScreenshots | 16:22 |
| holstein | veneco: ubuntu has unity.. ubuntu-desktop will install unity | 16:22 |
| bioterror | that's how it looks like | 16:22 |
| holstein | the default desktop in ubuntu 12.04 is unity | 16:22 |
| holstein | veneco: gnome2 is gone.. gnome3 is installable | 16:22 |
| bioterror | holstein, Gnome 2 is not gone | 16:22 |
| bioterror | Tue19:21 <bioterror> Mate = fork of Gnome 2 | 16:22 |
| bioterror | there's also this "Cinnamon"? | 16:23 |
| holstein | bioterror: have you tried it?.. its not for me | 16:23 |
| bioterror | holstein, I'm using it all the time ;) | 16:23 |
| bioterror | do I have to take you a screenshot where I'm using it and showing terminal of our conversation?-) | 16:24 |
| holstein | bioterror: i believe you... i should try it again... i tried it 6 months ago? something like that.. not for me | 16:24 |
| bioterror | there has been some rapid development, I think | 16:25 |
| bioterror | but from all the Mate distros, I chose Salix becouse they are small group of innovative people with love to their project | 16:25 |
| holstein | ive read great things about salix... mostly about the team | 16:26 |
| bioterror | their installer is quite good ;) | 16:27 |
| veneco | bioterror, holstein: thanks for your help.... | 16:31 |
| veneco | I installed xfce desktop... | 16:31 |
| holstein | all is good? | 16:31 |
| veneco | holstein: I don't know.... I'm going to use right now... I'll be back in few minutes.... | 16:32 |
| veneco | Hi again | 16:36 |
| veneco | at this moment... I'm using xfce desktop... | 16:36 |
| veneco | it's very ugly... but Qt runs very well | 16:36 |
| veneco | I want to use Qt Designer | 16:37 |
| veneco | into lxde I can't use it | 16:37 |
| veneco | thansk again | 16:37 |
| silverarrow | hi | 17:08 |
| silverarrow | is anyone clever with cannon camera and image viewing in lubuntu? | 17:08 |
| silverarrow | when I plug in camera, file manager opens and detects the pictures as fpeg | 17:11 |
| silverarrow | they are all listed individually like square frames, but image is not showing | 17:11 |
| silverarrow | am I here? | 17:11 |
| Ahmuck | whois sliverarrow | 17:14 |
| taoseeker | better connections this time I hope | 17:17 |
| taoseeker | is anyone using image viewer and load pictures from camera to computer in lubuntu? | 17:18 |
| taoseeker | I have trouble with a cannon camera, when I plug in it filemanager detects it, and there is a list of pictures, frames, but no image | 17:18 |
| Ahmuck | correct. | 17:19 |
| taoseeker | Ahmuck, is that a common issue? | 17:21 |
| Ahmuck | its not really an issue. i click on the photo and then am able to see the photo and cycle through them. its the photo viewer your using i believe | 17:26 |
| Ahmuck | taoseeker: i am going to reboot for a upgrade | 17:32 |
| Ahmuck | were you able to figure it out. i think your looking for thumbnail views of the photos and i don´t believe the file system folder does this | 17:33 |
| Ahmuck | but there are others here that might have better answers | 17:33 |
| bioterror | taoseeker, and you canon camera is DSLR or just something smaller? | 17:35 |
| bioterror | *your | 17:35 |
| silverarrow | is there a way to check how much space is left on hard drive? | 18:12 |

| silverarrow | I shall have to note them down on a board | 18:14 |
| silverarrow | 32% | 18:15 |
| wxl | or you can use the gui | 18:16 |
| wxl | the new one i guess is gnome-disks | 18:16 |
| wxl | old was palimpsest | 18:16 |
| silverarrow | I just noticed file manger shows how many GB is left, down right corner | 18:17 |
| silverarrow | thanks | 18:18 |

| micheg | hi, i see mysql user in ligthdm login how i can configure ligthdm to not show some user | 22:15 |
| moveer-envigado | i can't play any videos in youtube | 22:33 |
| Medic | what is the difference between ubuntu and lubuntu? | 23:36 |
| Unit193 | Default applications, config, userinterface (LXDE) | 23:37 |
| Unit193 | !lubuntu | 23:37 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 23:37 |
| Medic | is it easy to transition from one to the other? | 23:37 |
| wxl | !easybutton | 23:38 |
| wxl | darn, no easy button | 23:38 |
| * wxl calls staples | 23:38 | |
| micheg | i have trouble with external monitor | 23:39 |
| wxl | all seriousness aside Medic LXDE is kind of a no frills environment. there will be a couple things that aren't how you expect them. whether or not it's easy it's hard to say, but i like to think it's fairly simple. | 23:39 |
| wxl | it's nothing like having to do everything out of the command line | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | !purelubuntu | 23:39 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » | 23:39 |
| wxl | but yes if you mean the actual physical process of converting an ubuntu system to a lubuntu system see above | 23:40 |
| Medic | ok, wasnt sure how "light" it really was. I like ubuntu but seems to be slowing down fo whatever reason as time goes by. | 23:40 |
| wxl | then you'll love lubuntu | 23:40 |
| Medic | I am going to assume that i will lose all data in the process correct? | 23:41 |
| wxl | if you just install the lubuntu metapackages, no | 23:41 |
| wxl | essentially if you do that and follow that purelxde link, all you're doing is installing and removing packages | 23:41 |
| wxl | if you want to wipe ubuntu completely off and start with a fresh lubuntu, that would involve losing data. unless you dual booted. | 23:42 |
| Medic | what packages are being removed? Gnome obviously but, what will i lose as far as stuff i may have use for... | 23:43 |
| wxl | essentially the packages remove anything that relates to kde, gnome, and xfce | 23:43 |
| wxl | the specifics of which depends on your own system | 23:44 |
| Medic | gnome is the interface that makes it look fancy correct? what are xfce and kde? | 23:44 |
| wxl | yep; more of the same | 23:44 |
| Medic | ok so nothing that would have anything to do with wireless or other hardware? just stuff that uses ram to make it look cool. | 23:46 |
| wxl | yep | 23:47 |
| Medic | ok that makes sense. I know I had to install some packages that I can't recall the name of at the moment to get certain things to work correctly on the laptop that is running ubuntu. I don't want to go through the hassle of doing it again if I don't have to. | 23:49 |
| Medic | I think one was for wireless | 23:49 |
| Medic | Thanks for the assistance, I will be checking out the website descibed above! | 23:51 |
| wxl | Medic: before you go, one more thing | 23:52 |
| wxl | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall sort of describes the install you're doing | 23:53 |
| Medic | What's up? I have to wait for it to update to 11.04 before I can do anything anyways | 23:53 |
