| Ahmuck | looks like i am missing codecs for vlc | 02:15 |
|---|---|---|
| Ahmuck | how do i get multimedia codecs for vlc or do i need another player? | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Ahmuck: did you install lubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:15 |
| silverarrow | hi | 02:29 |
| silverarrow | wonder if I should try mandriva | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: why not, good to try new stuff but how is that a Lubuntu question? | 02:30 |
| silverarrow | well, I am sticking with lubuntu | 02:30 |
| silverarrow | do you have lubuntu installed on a laptop ? | 02:31 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: I do | 02:32 |
| silverarrow | could you do me a favor? | 02:32 |
| silverarrow | check htop and see how much ram usage you have? | 02:33 |
| ActionParsnip | possibly | 02:33 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: although I'll use: free -m | 02:33 |
| silverarrow | well point is mostly ram usage | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: 500Mb with samba, transmission, fatrat, ssh and samba running | 02:34 |
| silverarrow | I see | 02:34 |
| silverarrow | how large is cpu? | 02:34 |
| silverarrow | core2duo or more like i7 | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | just killed vlc and now using 340Mb | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | core2duo at 1.2Ghz dual core | 02:35 |
| silverarrow | which still is on the good side | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | its enough for the job | 02:35 |
| silverarrow | I doubt there is anything you can`t do with a laptop like that | 02:36 |
| silverarrow | unless you are a serious gamer | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | flash struggles with lots of 3D stuff, otherwise its ok | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | i can game on it, but not super well | 02:37 |
| silverarrow | yeah, 3D might be an issue too, I thought it had a lot to do with graphics? | 02:37 |
| silverarrow | I never game much anyhow | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | it plays urban terror fine, needs an external mouse | 02:39 |
| silverarrow | I can hardly push the powerpc cpu much beyond 300mb | 02:39 |
| silverarrow | cool | 02:39 |
| silverarrow | but I only have 512 | 02:39 |
| silverarrow | wonder if it is any difference if I get a 1GB card | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | 3Gb here, but its a low end Intel GPU which sucks. I mainly game on my media PC which isn't much better but has an nvidia 6150 512Mb which plays it nicely :) | 02:40 |
| silverarrow | I am seriously considering a samsung | 02:41 |
| silverarrow | or a macbook because of the retina screen | 02:41 |
| silverarrow | nice to watch films on | 02:42 |
| silverarrow | maybe tv | 02:42 |
| silverarrow | however tv is not so good anyhow | 02:42 |
| silverarrow | flash quality is soso, best screen really doesn`t matter too mch | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | want me a fitpc | 02:43 |
| holstein | flash? like web flash? | 02:43 |
| silverarrow | well, like regular adobe flash | 02:43 |
| holstein | i wouldnt making any purchasing decisions based on that... its not on android anymore.. is it on ios? | 02:43 |
| silverarrow | there is silverlight versions available | 02:43 |
| holstein | silverlight wont be around long for sure | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Linux silverlight is being canned | 02:44 |
| silverarrow | maybe not, but I do feel the screen is one of the best points of the macbook | 02:44 |
| holstein | yup.. still, is it worth the $$? | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mac is far too expensive for what you get | 02:44 |
| silverarrow | that is debateable | 02:44 |
| silverarrow | what I like about macbook pros are the aluminum casing, very light weight, really nice screen, all right sound | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | a lot of laptops have that now, its nothing special | 02:46 |
| silverarrow | you get the i7 cpu and flash drive if that is point | 02:46 |
| holstein | i dont think so.. comparing hardware to hardware, mac is more.. with the same specs.. thats not debatable | 02:46 |
| silverarrow | I have only found samsung that I find comparable ? | 02:46 |
| holstein | in what? look? | 02:47 |
| silverarrow | though I don`t know all brands or models | 02:47 |
| silverarrow | well looks are a pluss, but samsung seem very solid and well put together too | 02:48 |
| holstein | the asus one is nice | 02:48 |
| silverarrow | I would consider a asus | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: lenovo kicked out a nice ultrabook, not bad at all | 02:48 |
| silverarrow | I read somewhere the retina screen technology is 10 years old, and should have reached the marked years ago, so maybe other nice screen are turning up now too | 02:49 |
| silverarrow | I am all up for suggestions | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Toshiba Portege's aren't too shabby either | 02:49 |
| silverarrow | I am slightly hesitant on the mac hardware they work so hard to be a world of their own | 02:50 |
| silverarrow | I suppose they are general pc these days | 02:50 |
| silverarrow | the non-pc agrument went down the drain with the powerpc architecture I suppose | 02:51 |
| silverarrow | in the past mac had very bad sound | 02:53 |
| silverarrow | even the first macbooks | 02:53 |
| silverarrow | it has improved | 02:53 |
| silverarrow | I`m not thinking of lound volume or high fidelity, more bearable and non-painful | 02:54 |
| silverarrow | I am hoping some company make an effort to outdo the apple laptop lol | 02:55 |
| silverarrow | give them a run for their money for a while | 02:55 |

| jb | Hi. I want to update the openbox menu.xml, but cant figure out which one to update. I have updated the one in /usr/share/lubuntu/openbox and expected that to update the right-click menu. Do I need to reload something ror will that work once I reload lxde? | 12:38 |
| jb | ...or should I update the one in .config? | 12:39 |
| leszek | the one in /usr/share/... ist the global config for all users | 12:50 |
| leszek | but if you have one config in your home folder than this one will be used instead of the global one | 12:50 |
| jb | and then I just restart openbox? | 12:52 |
| leszek | jb: exactly | 12:56 |
| jb | leszek: thanks! | 12:56 |
| faLUCE | hi. For some funny weird reason, If I execute MyLongNamedScriptFooooooo , in the list of processes I only see the firs 15 chars of the name | 15:08 |
| faLUCE | why? | 15:08 |
| faLUCE | 12.04 | 15:08 |
| holstein | space? .. what list? top? | 15:09 |
| faLUCE | holstein: no, there are not spaces | 15:09 |
| faLUCE | yes: top | 15:09 |
| holstein | its just a list.. i would expect space to be the reason | 15:09 |
| holstein | truncation for space | 15:09 |
| faLUCE | no, there's not a space. I'm sure | 15:10 |
| holstein | faLUCE: space like the space on the screen | 15:11 |
| holstein | its shortened to take up less space in that top report | 15:11 |
| faLUCE | anyway, if I want to kill the process, I have to write killall -SIGKILL first15chars | 15:11 |
| faLUCE | holstein: no, no | 15:11 |
| holstein | there are many ways to kill | 15:11 |
| holstein | faLUCE: ok... then why do you think it is truncated in that report? | 15:11 |
| faLUCE | ok, but I want to use killall | 15:11 |
| faLUCE | holstein: i don't know | 15:11 |
| holstein | faLUCE: we should not speculate.. i would go to a main support channel or try the mailing list | 15:12 |
| holstein | i usually kill with PID | 15:12 |
| faLUCE | holstein: wich is the main support channel? | 15:13 |
| holstein | http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/46979-pid-length.html is relevant | 15:13 |
| holstein | faLUCE: i was thinking #ubuntu.. but any more general linux channel | 15:14 |
| faLUCE | holstein: I see, thanks | 15:14 |
| holstein | says, from system to system | 15:14 |
| holstein | i was guessing that at some point the name gets truncated | 15:15 |
| holstein | space... ease of use... not sure why | 15:15 |
| faLUCE | tnx again | 15:19 |
| FreeMansMind | How would I change my DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 that google provides? | 21:38 |
| TheMaster | Network icon at the bottom > Edit Connections > Wired or Wireless > Edit | 21:40 |
| FreeMansMind | where do i type the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in this edit window ? | 21:45 |
| FreeMansMind | DNS SERVERS: 8.8.8.8 and Search Domains: 8.8.4.4 or? | 21:45 |
| TheMaster | DNS servers: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 | 21:48 |
| FreeMansMind | TheMaster, thank you | 22:01 |
| TheMaster | You're welcome. | 22:05 |
| FreeMansMind | is there a free software like ccleaner ? | 22:55 |
| FreeMansMind | i guess it wont work in ubuntu. | 22:55 |
| silverarrow | are you worried about adware? | 22:58 |
| silverarrow | I don't think cc leaner would work for ubuntu even kif they made a version | 22:59 |
| silverarrow | you would need something different | 22:59 |
| silverarrow | not sure where linux needs tidying up as time goes | 23:00 |
| TheMaster | !info bleachbit | 23:03 |
| ubottu | bleachbit (source: bleachbit): delete unnecessary files from the system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.1-1 (precise), package size 319 kB, installed size 1710 kB | 23:03 |
| silverarrow | ooooh, a linux master | 23:05 |
| silverarrow | ;-) | 23:05 |
| FreeMansMind | bleachit seems to be perfect. does it run with terminal commands? | 23:16 |
