[01:59] hi. i need us international keyboard with dead keys [01:59] however when i set this, every reboot I have to reset it again [01:59] how do i set this permantly? [02:03] can you edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart? [02:13] yes [02:13] kanliot: yes [02:19] is there something I can place there that would set my keyboard? [02:20] @setxkbmap -option [02:20] option ? [02:21] should i not be able to set it and have it work without resetting it every time? [02:43] sorry ahmuck wasmt watching [02:43] how are you starting setxkbmap? [02:43] exact line please [02:51] preference -- [02:51] lxkeymap [02:52] * Ahmuck bump kanliot [02:52] so you arent switching keyboard layouts with the keyboard with xkbmap? [02:52] setxkbmap [02:54] no [02:54] i am using the menu [02:54] itś like there are four options on the menu [02:55] sorry for the accent [02:55] ok [02:55] lemme google for a minute [02:55] let me [03:01] * Ahmuck tried that [03:01] it seems like it would be simple, set the keyboard and go [03:06] arabic, right? [03:06] can you edit /etc/default/keyboard [03:06] and change XKBLAYOUT to [03:06] "ar" [03:07] not sure if it will work ahmuck [03:07] best guess :) [03:12] hey in Movie Player, what do i do when a message like this appear "GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error."? [03:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7720350 | PH_5 [03:14] Kanliot: thanks [03:14] just a guess man [03:14] you can thank me if it works :) [03:35] what is ar keyboard? [03:35] kanliot: [03:37] i believe it's arabic [03:37] which keyboard layout would you like? [03:38] us international with dead keys [03:38] xbvariant [03:38] there's us_intl [03:38] or xboptions? [03:38] oh, that might work [03:39] http://www.xfree86.org/4.8.0/XKB-Config2.html\ [03:40] as Xorg hardly relays on Xorg.conf nowdays [03:40] I have my xkblayout settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf [03:41] 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] i need a way to type accents for spanish [03:41] so i was wondering why it did not stay set [03:42] becouse it is not configured to stay set [03:42] Kanliot: no it didn't :( [03:42] you need to tweak this evdev.conf [03:43] and add there this XkbLayout "us" to Section "inputdevice" [03:44] does the lubuntu installer provide any options regarding grub? [03:44] is it really that hard to switch the default keyboard [03:44] andantino, no [03:44] Ahmuck, yes. it's that hard. to add a line to a config file [03:46] that's all part of the fun, Ahmuck [03:46] not hard, fun [03:47] k [03:47] that's how GNU/Linux systems works [03:47] well, my studying is done here at the uni, so i am heading home [03:47] l8r [03:48] no you cant go, you have to repeat it 'thats all part of the fun' [03:48] ooops too late [03:48] :D [03:49] so basically, if i install lubuntu next to my current linux, i will have to use the grub menu from lubuntu [03:49] i guess it doenst matter [05:12] hi. when i downloaded, two times, the lubuntu 64-bit ISO fca2034b89e8a0acd6536d41ccec061c *lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso [05:13] that is what is reported on the website as the MD5sum, but that does not match what downloads from the link on lubuntu site. [05:14] and what downloads is not recognized as a valid file when I try burning it to a DVD. [05:14] something is wrong with the download linked file, I suspect. [05:23] http://thesii.org/iso/lubuntu/precise/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso Try that, but the other should be just fine. [05:25] 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 [05:39] that one worked, but the one I got here, two different times, does not: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu [05:40] 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] Sure thing, but what exact link did you use first? [05:42] http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/precise/release/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso [05:44] Hmmm... I got fca2034b89e8a0acd6536d41ccec061c off that one. [05:48] in that case something bizarre happened to my download, twice. That is strange. [05:48] If that happens, I recommend zsync. [05:49] !zsync [05:49] 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 [06:04] thanks, ubottu, that does indeed look like a good program. [06:24] 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? [06:32] 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 [06:33] 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. [06:36] thx jmarsden but is this method less good? it's whats confusing me: http://askubuntu.com/a/151946/21503 [06:52] 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? [06:57] 12.04? [06:57] you'll be updating your system anyway [06:58] 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. [07:00] monitor settings for first problem [07:01] is this a laptop? [07:01] i hate to send you to the audio troubleshooting [07:04] 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. [07:05] do aplay -l from terminal, which card do you want to use [07:05] It is a desktop based on E-350 single board. [07:06] kanliot: I tried aplay: it shows HDMI, analog and digital outputs. I suspect that it prefers digital out instead of analog. [07:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure#Step_17 [07:07] you can use aplay to play directly to whichever sound card you like [07:08] Even more, I suspect wrong pulse configuration, but pavucontrol crashes. Next thing to do for me is trying pacmd [07:08] is pulseaudio running? [07:08] pgrep -l pulseaudio [07:09] kanliot: unfortunately I haven't found any sound file on the fresh installed system [07:09] kanliot: yes, pulse is running [07:09] if you look at the example, the same file should exist on your system [07:10] can you run pavucontrol [07:10] forget about aplay [07:10] and download an audio file to test with [07:11] 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] kanliot: As I've already mentioned, pavucontrol crashes immediately. [07:12] thx jmarsden [07:13] 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] heheh you're too kind :) [07:13] Ok, thanks. I'm going to try your advices tomorrow. [07:13] Bye. [09:11] greetings [09:12] sup [09:13] how to change lubuntu permissions by default to user not root?

[09:14] yes [09:15] i don't understand what you want to do [09:15] more background info plese [09:16] !chmod [09:16] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [09:16] hi all [09:16] the file permission is set to root by default and i want to change it to the user [09:16] hi [09:18] use pcmanfm or [09:18] !chown [09:18] 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] lol [09:18] same 1 [09:21] my laptop file permission is changed to root by default, i want to reverse this to be user not for certain files [09:23] liek files in / [09:23] ? [09:23] or files you create when you are logged in [09:25] 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] or when i copy a text file, it will be recognised as an executable file rather than a text file [09:26] 2 problems [09:26] how are you saving pages [09:26] ? [09:42] hi [11:06] Hello is anyone there? [11:06] Hello?! [11:07] hello [11:07] sorry i am 1/2 here [11:07] I need some advice [11:08] I love Lubuntu but openbox does not offer the ability like compiz grid [11:08] ok [11:09] I see there is pytyle but I think it only works with the keyboard [11:09] Is there anyway I can get compiz grid without compiz? [11:10] I'm been at this for a few hours but no good options [11:10] I've* [11:10] Any ideas? [11:12] Compiz is major over kill just for the grid feature [11:14] So are all the people in the panel to the right logged in to this chat? [11:15] WildTux can you hear me? [11:16] i'm in the matrix [11:17] I'm kind of confused about the nature of this chat [11:17] Why are all these people logged in but not talking? [11:17] donno [11:18] i been here for weeks most of them havent said a word [11:18] rofl [11:18] Wtf lol [11:19] So what you guys just log on to this chat and leave it running for weeks? [11:20] yeah [11:24] i am on several channels so end up chatting in one place, but yeah i have said something on occasion and got no response [11:25] i have no idea on the compiz stuff [11:25] hmm [11:25] esp as lubuntu seems to bind the windows super key to the lxde menu [11:27] 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] You know like Windows 7 snap feature [11:27] hmm [11:28] window maker has a icon bar or something i think [11:28] Tried it but could not figure out how to get it to snap... [11:37] ok not sure off hand, maybe it doesn't as such [11:37] there is something called docky which is more like er os x [11:37] * zleap tends to avoid windows [11:41] I am a little bit confused. Are you now talking about the aero snap like feature or about dock apps ? [11:49] aero snap and he left [11:50] i think he wanted a similar feature in what ever distro / wm hes using === leszek_ is now known as leszek [13:33] 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] in terminal mode i can, but at the gui login prompt i cannot [13:34] 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] to default. any help will be appreciated as I have a class in 1.5 hrs [14:06] how do i reset my lxkeyboard map? [14:10] rm ~/.config/lxkeymap.conf [14:10] 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 ? [14:11] won't allow me to login via gui [14:11] in terminal mode i can [14:11] password works fine, but it's backwards sometimes in gui mode [14:16] how do i see a history of my commands entered into the term. i need to see what files i may have changed [14:18] rm: cannot remove '/home/drbeams/config/lxkeymap.conf': no such file or directory [14:20] once it was typing the password at the password prompt from right to left [14:21] so the password is correct, but the entry is incorrect. [14:21] Ahmuck: lxkeymap is not able to change the global keyboard layout [14:21] so it can't affect the login screen [14:21] 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 [14:22] 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] sooo ... how would i locate my terminal history [14:23] type in history [14:24] it shows you the terminal history [14:24] for global keyboard layout changes in X you either edited xorg.conf in /etc/X11 or /etc/default/keyboard [14:27] in home directory rm .* would correct this? [14:27] no [14:28] please no [14:28] it would destroy everything [14:31] k, so why would it work using an xterm session (F5) but not on the login prompt? [14:32] Ahmuck: I really don't know what you did yesterday [14:32] perhaps the login prompt is setting a special keyboard layout for you [14:33] yes, that is what i was thinking. but i'm wondering why, and how [14:33] and where i would go to reset it [14:34] Ahmuck: it must be something in /etc/lxdm I guess [14:37] 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 [14:41] in 12.10 beta there is no option to automatic install amd official drivers, will it be possible in release?
