| Ahmuck | kanliot: yes | 02:13 |
| Ahmuck | is there something I can place there that would set my keyboard? | 02:19 |
| Ahmuck | @setxkbmap -option | 02:20 |

| kanliot | sorry ahmuck wasmt watching | 02:43 |
| kanliot | how are you starting setxkbmap? | 02:43 |
| kanliot | exact line please | 02:43 |
| Ahmuck | preference -- | 02:51 |
| Ahmuck | lxkeymap | 02:51 |
| * Ahmuck bump kanliot | 02:52 | |
| kanliot | so you arent switching keyboard layouts with the keyboard with xkbmap? | 02:52 |
| kanliot | setxkbmap | 02:52 |
| Ahmuck | no | 02:54 |
| Ahmuck | i am using the menu | 02:54 |
| Ahmuck | itś like there are four options on the menu | 02:54 |
| Ahmuck | sorry for the accent | 02:55 |
| kanliot | ok | 02:55 |
| kanliot | lemme google for a minute | 02:55 |
| kanliot | let me | 02:55 |
| * Ahmuck tried that | 03:01 | |
| Ahmuck | it seems like it would be simple, set the keyboard and go | 03:01 |
| kanliot | arabic, right? | 03:06 |
| kanliot | can you edit /etc/default/keyboard | 03:06 |
| kanliot | and change XKBLAYOUT to | 03:06 |
| kanliot | "ar" | 03:06 |
| kanliot | not sure if it will work ahmuck | 03:07 |
| kanliot | best guess :) | 03:07 |
| PH_5 | hey in Movie Player, what do i do when a message like this appear "GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error."? | 03:12 |
| kanliot | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7720350 | PH_5 | 03:14 |
| PH_5 | Kanliot: thanks | 03:14 |
| kanliot | just a guess man | 03:14 |
| kanliot | you can thank me if it works :) | 03:14 |
| Ahmuck | what is ar keyboard? | 03:35 |
| Ahmuck | kanliot: | 03:35 |
| kanliot | i believe it's arabic | 03:37 |
| kanliot | which keyboard layout would you like? | 03:37 |
| Ahmuck | us international with dead keys | 03:38 |
| Ahmuck | xbvariant | 03:38 |
| kanliot | there's us_intl | 03:38 |
| Ahmuck | or xboptions? | 03:38 |
| Ahmuck | oh, that might work | 03:38 |
| Ahmuck | http://www.xfree86.org/4.8.0/XKB-Config2.html\ | 03:39 |
| bioterror | as Xorg hardly relays on Xorg.conf nowdays | 03:40 |
| bioterror | I have my xkblayout settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf | 03:40 |
| Ahmuck | bioterror: my problem is everytime i use the menu to change lxkeymap to us internatioanl with dead keys upone reboot i have to reset it | 03:41 |
| Ahmuck | i need a way to type accents for spanish | 03:41 |
| Ahmuck | so i was wondering why it did not stay set | 03:41 |
| bioterror | becouse it is not configured to stay set | 03:42 |
| PH_5 | Kanliot: no it didn't :( | 03:42 |
| bioterror | you need to tweak this evdev.conf | 03:42 |
| bioterror | and add there this XkbLayout "us" to Section "inputdevice" | 03:43 |
| andantino | does the lubuntu installer provide any options regarding grub? | 03:44 |
| Ahmuck | is it really that hard to switch the default keyboard | 03:44 |
| bioterror | andantino, no | 03:44 |
| bioterror | Ahmuck, yes. it's that hard. to add a line to a config file | 03:44 |
| andantino | that's all part of the fun, Ahmuck | 03:46 |
| andantino | not hard, fun | 03:46 |
| Ahmuck | k | 03:47 |
| bioterror | that's how GNU/Linux systems works | 03:47 |
| Ahmuck | well, my studying is done here at the uni, so i am heading home | 03:47 |
| Ahmuck | l8r | 03:47 |
| andantino | no you cant go, you have to repeat it 'thats all part of the fun' | 03:48 |
| andantino | ooops too late | 03:48 |
| bioterror | :D | 03:48 |
| andantino | so basically, if i install lubuntu next to my current linux, i will have to use the grub menu from lubuntu | 03:49 |
| andantino | i guess it doenst matter | 03:49 |
| tweak-daddy | hi. when i downloaded, two times, the lubuntu 64-bit ISO fca2034b89e8a0acd6536d41ccec061c *lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 05:12 |
| tweak-daddy | that is what is reported on the website as the MD5sum, but that does not match what downloads from the link on lubuntu site. | 05:13 |
| tweak-daddy | and what downloads is not recognized as a valid file when I try burning it to a DVD. | 05:14 |
| tweak-daddy | something is wrong with the download linked file, I suspect. | 05:14 |
| Unit193 | http://thesii.org/iso/lubuntu/precise/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso Try that, but the other should be just fine. | 05:23 |
| Unit193 | fca2034b89e8a0acd6536d41ccec061c lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso after downloading from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 05:25 |
| tweak-daddy | that one worked, but the one I got here, two different times, does not: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu | 05:39 |
| tweak-daddy | thank you, Unit193. your link also shows the same MD5SUM reported on the website where I downloaded. Something with that link is not right. | 05:40 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing, but what exact link did you use first? | 05:40 |
| tweak-daddy | http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/precise/release/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 05:42 |
| Unit193 | Hmmm... I got fca2034b89e8a0acd6536d41ccec061c off that one. | 05:44 |
| tweak-daddy | in that case something bizarre happened to my download, twice. That is strange. | 05:48 |
| Unit193 | If that happens, I recommend zsync. | 05:48 |
| Unit193 | !zsync | 05:49 |
| ubottu | Use zsync to update your Ubuntu CD image without needing to download the parts that didn't change. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage | 05:49 |
| tweak-daddy | thanks, ubottu, that does indeed look like a good program. | 06:04 |
| kanliot | I'd like to answer this question on the forum. I know a little bit, but can someone give me the proper answer? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2062905 how do you autostart a program in Lubuntu? | 06:24 |
| jmarsden | kanliot: to autostart at logon, see the Lubutu FAQ: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_into_Desktop | 06:32 |
| jmarsden | If he truly needs "at boot", then you can hack /etc/rc.local or add an iniscript for the program of interest to turn it into a service, so that service is started at boot. | 06:33 |
| kanliot | thx jmarsden but is this method less good? it's whats confusing me: http://askubuntu.com/a/151946/21503 | 06:36 |
| tweak-daddy | Seems a bit odd to me that the Lubuntu installer suggests that "You may wish to update this installer," when in fact it is the latest version which I just downloaded. I mean, are there a lot of changes in downloaders that don't get updated too quickly with the online links? | 06:52 |
| kanliot | 12.04? | 06:57 |
| kanliot | you'll be updating your system anyway | 06:57 |
| coder2 | Hello. I have installed the OS on an AMD Fusion mobo. AMD propietaty driver was installed. There are two problems leftt: 60Hz refresh rate on analog monitor and no sound from analog output - I suspect that it use wrong default output. Please help. | 06:58 |
| kanliot | monitor settings for first problem | 07:00 |
| kanliot | is this a laptop? | 07:01 |
| kanliot | i hate to send you to the audio troubleshooting | 07:01 |
| coder2 | kanlot: Sorry, are you talked me? Concerning the problems: I have read the guides and have done a lot receipts, but no luck yet. For example: after installing pavucontrol applet it simple crashes. Old receipts for xorg.conf do not work anymore. | 07:04 |
| kanliot | do aplay -l from terminal, which card do you want to use | 07:05 |
| coder2 | It is a desktop based on E-350 single board. | 07:05 |
| coder2 | kanliot: I tried aplay: it shows HDMI, analog and digital outputs. I suspect that it prefers digital out instead of analog. | 07:06 |
| kanliot | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure#Step_17 | 07:07 |
| kanliot | you can use aplay to play directly to whichever sound card you like | 07:07 |
| coder2 | Even more, I suspect wrong pulse configuration, but pavucontrol crashes. Next thing to do for me is trying pacmd | 07:08 |
| kanliot | is pulseaudio running? | 07:08 |
| kanliot | pgrep -l pulseaudio | 07:08 |
| coder2 | kanliot: unfortunately I haven't found any sound file on the fresh installed system | 07:09 |
| coder2 | kanliot: yes, pulse is running | 07:09 |
| kanliot | if you look at the example, the same file should exist on your system | 07:09 |
| kanliot | can you run pavucontrol | 07:10 |
| kanliot | forget about aplay | 07:10 |
| kanliot | and download an audio file to test with | 07:10 |
| jmarsden | kanliot: re autostarting a program: the askubuntu way you found seems to me to be the same as the Lubuntu FAQ way (use ~/.config/autostart). It is not truly "at boot", but "at logon". If that is acceptable for what the user on the forums needs, then go for it. | 07:11 |
| coder2 | kanliot: As I've already mentioned, pavucontrol crashes immediately. | 07:11 |
| kanliot | thx jmarsden | 07:12 |
| jmarsden | kanliot: You're welcome. Sorry for the delay I am testing Ubuntu Server PPC Beta2 ISO and disconnected LAN from this machine to connect to PPC machine being tested... :) | 07:13 |
| kanliot | heheh you're too kind :) | 07:13 |
| coder2 | Ok, thanks. I'm going to try your advices tomorrow. | 07:13 |
| coder2 | Bye. | 07:13 |

| kodez | how to change lubuntu permissions by default to user not root? | 09:13 |
| kanliot | i need more info | 09:14 |
| kanliot | is this a file? | 09:14 |
| kodez | yes | 09:14 |
| kanliot | i don't understand what you want to do | 09:15 |
| kanliot | more background info plese | 09:15 |
| bioterror | !chmod | 09:16 |

| LuvLinuxOS | hi all | 09:16 |
| kodez | the file permission is set to root by default and i want to change it to the user | 09:16 |
| kanliot | hi | 09:16 |
| kanliot | use pcmanfm or | 09:18 |
| kanliot | !chown | 09:18 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 09:18 |
| kanliot | lol | 09:18 |
| kanliot | same 1 | 09:18 |
| kodez | my laptop file permission is changed to root by default, i want to reverse this to be user not for certain files | 09:21 |
| kanliot | liek files in / | 09:23 |
| kanliot | ? | 09:23 |
| kanliot | or files you create when you are logged in | 09:23 |
| kodez | when i save a web page, the file permission will be root not user and this make the page want to execute than open it with a web browser | 09:25 |
| kodez | or when i copy a text file, it will be recognised as an executable file rather than a text file | 09:25 |
| kanliot | 2 problems | 09:26 |
| kanliot | how are you saving pages | 09:26 |
| kanliot | ? | 09:26 |
| leszek | hi | 09:42 |
| Steven_ | Hello is anyone there? | 11:06 |
| Steven_ | Hello?! | 11:06 |
| zleap | hello | 11:07 |
| zleap | sorry i am 1/2 here | 11:07 |
| Steven_ | I need some advice | 11:07 |
| Steven_ | I love Lubuntu but openbox does not offer the ability like compiz grid | 11:08 |
| zleap | ok | 11:08 |
| Steven_ | I see there is pytyle but I think it only works with the keyboard | 11:09 |
| Steven_ | Is there anyway I can get compiz grid without compiz? | 11:09 |
| Steven_ | I'm been at this for a few hours but no good options | 11:10 |
| Steven_ | I've* | 11:10 |
| Steven_ | Any ideas? | 11:10 |
| Steven_ | Compiz is major over kill just for the grid feature | 11:12 |
| Steven_ | So are all the people in the panel to the right logged in to this chat? | 11:14 |
| Steven_ | WildTux can you hear me? | 11:15 |
| kanliot | i'm in the matrix | 11:16 |
| Steven_ | I'm kind of confused about the nature of this chat | 11:17 |
| Steven_ | Why are all these people logged in but not talking? | 11:17 |
| kanliot | donno | 11:17 |
| kanliot | i been here for weeks most of them havent said a word | 11:18 |
| Steven_ | rofl | 11:18 |
| Steven_ | Wtf lol | 11:18 |
| Steven_ | So what you guys just log on to this chat and leave it running for weeks? | 11:19 |
| kanliot | yeah | 11:20 |
| zleap | i am on several channels so end up chatting in one place, but yeah i have said something on occasion and got no response | 11:24 |
| zleap | i have no idea on the compiz stuff | 11:25 |
| Steven_ | hmm | 11:25 |
| zleap | esp as lubuntu seems to bind the windows super key to the lxde menu | 11:25 |
| Steven_ | The other window managers like awesome are nothing like Windows or Os x... I just want to drag my window to one side of the screen and have it pop to fill that half the screen | 11:27 |
| Steven_ | You know like Windows 7 snap feature | 11:27 |
| zleap | hmm | 11:27 |
| zleap | window maker has a icon bar or something i think | 11:28 |
| Steven_ | Tried it but could not figure out how to get it to snap... | 11:28 |
| zleap | ok not sure off hand, maybe it doesn't as such | 11:37 |
| zleap | there is something called docky which is more like er os x | 11:37 |
| * zleap tends to avoid windows | 11:37 | |
| leszek | I am a little bit confused. Are you now talking about the aero snap like feature or about dock apps ? | 11:41 |
| kanliot | aero snap and he left | 11:49 |
| zleap | i think he wanted a similar feature in what ever distro / wm hes using | 11:50 |

| Ahmuck | last evening i was attemtping to set my default keyboard with help from this channel and this morning i am unable to log in | 13:33 |
| Ahmuck | in terminal mode i can, but at the gui login prompt i cannot | 13:33 |
| Ahmuck | i assume this has something to do with the lxkeymap for the gui session, but i do not know how to reset it | 13:34 |
| Ahmuck | to default. any help will be appreciated as I have a class in 1.5 hrs | 13:34 |
| Ahmuck | how do i reset my lxkeyboard map? | 14:06 |
| leszek | rm ~/.config/lxkeymap.conf | 14:10 |
| leszek | Ahmuck: but what exactly is not working ? Wront keyboard layout set somewhere or so that you cannot login or does it crash or what happens exactly ? | 14:10 |
| Ahmuck | won't allow me to login via gui | 14:11 |
| Ahmuck | in terminal mode i can | 14:11 |
| Ahmuck | password works fine, but it's backwards sometimes in gui mode | 14:11 |
| Ahmuck | how do i see a history of my commands entered into the term. i need to see what files i may have changed | 14:16 |
| Ahmuck | rm: cannot remove '/home/drbeams/config/lxkeymap.conf': no such file or directory | 14:18 |
| Ahmuck | once it was typing the password at the password prompt from right to left | 14:20 |
| Ahmuck | so the password is correct, but the entry is incorrect. | 14:21 |
| leszek | Ahmuck: lxkeymap is not able to change the global keyboard layout | 14:21 |
| leszek | so it can't affect the login screen | 14:21 |
| Ahmuck | last evening we were working with several files and i have forgotten what those were. i do recall thinking to myself, ug, i hope when i reboot this works | 14:21 |
| Ahmuck | my problem i began with last evening was setting lxkeymap through the menu and upon reboot it i would have to reset it every time | 14:22 |
| Ahmuck | sooo ... how would i locate my terminal history | 14:22 |
| leszek | type in history | 14:23 |
| leszek | it shows you the terminal history | 14:24 |
| leszek | for global keyboard layout changes in X you either edited xorg.conf in /etc/X11 or /etc/default/keyboard | 14:24 |
| Ahmuck | in home directory rm .* would correct this? | 14:27 |
| leszek | no | 14:27 |
| leszek | please no | 14:28 |
| leszek | it would destroy everything | 14:28 |
| Ahmuck | k, so why would it work using an xterm session (F5) but not on the login prompt? | 14:31 |
| leszek | Ahmuck: I really don't know what you did yesterday | 14:32 |
| leszek | perhaps the login prompt is setting a special keyboard layout for you | 14:32 |
| Ahmuck | yes, that is what i was thinking. but i'm wondering why, and how | 14:33 |
| Ahmuck | and where i would go to reset it | 14:33 |
| leszek | Ahmuck: it must be something in /etc/lxdm I guess | 14:34 |
| Ahmuck | k, so resorting to emergencyh proceedures, there is a file i need for a test on this computer ... i need to move it to usb, however usb does not exist in /media or in /mnt (as is should) ... how do i access the usb (as i used to in the good ol days | 14:37 |

| Ahmuck | k, found it | 14:48 |
| bioterror | to Section "InputClass" | 14:48 |
| Ahmuck | no | 14:48 |
| bioterror | you add: Option "XkbLayout" "fi" | 14:48 |
| Ahmuck | there was some xk something that i did modify, put us in some file | 14:49 |
