| silverarrow | hi | 10:06 |
| silverarrow | anyone here on a sunday? | 10:06 |
| fgh | y | 10:06 |
| fgh | I' waiting for a reply | 10:06 |
| fgh | but it seems they're not in the way to | 10:06 |
| silverarrow | by a misunderstanding I installed seahorse last night, and I want to remove it | 10:07 |
| fgh | it | 10:07 |
| fgh | silverarrow: sudo apt-get purge seahorse* | 10:07 |
| silverarrow | what is the default app in lubuntu for password and encryption | 10:07 |
| silverarrow | i can do that safely, without messing up+ | 10:08 |
| silverarrow | ? | 10:08 |
| fgh | silverarrow: Who said it messes up anything? | 10:08 |
| silverarrow | well, removing packages, perhaps not the main seahorse package, but dependencies | 10:09 |
| fgh | just ty, and BEFORE confirfm (it asks you whether to proceed or not) | 10:09 |
| fgh | just have a look on the package names of those which are gonna be removed | 10:09 |
| silverarrow | only a single package to be removed on that comand | 10:09 |
| silverarrow | which looks safe | 10:10 |
| fgh | .) | 10:10 |
| fgh | :) | 10:10 |
| silverarrow | I got this http://imagebin.org/231184 | 10:11 |
| fgh | that's ok! ahah you're new with linux? | 10:12 |
| silverarrow | not reall, but I hardly ever know what I am doing in termnal | 10:13 |
| silverarrow | stuff seem to happen by its` self | 10:13 |
| silverarrow | I have removed packages before that have messed up, and real fuzz to get back to start | 10:14 |
| silverarrow | like reinstall of entire os, which is a horror | 10:14 |
| silverarrow | maybe best way is to just go ahead and take it from there | 10:15 |
| silverarrow | and not fuzz too much in advance | 10:15 |
| akls | So I was working on my projects... And my script creates a lot of png files that I want to delete from time to time, so I was doing it from terminal by "rm *.png". After one hundred times I thought that maybe I should create a bash file that would do exactly the same, for the exception that I wont have to open a terminal and type it in again and again or search it in the terminal history... | 10:38 |
| akls | so I created a file with two strings #!/bin/bash rm *.png and made it executable | 10:39 |
| akls | then I double clicked it in my project folder... | 10:39 |
| akls | and nothing happened.. | 10:39 |
| akls | well, it seemed that nothing happened | 10:39 |
| akls | really all my png files in a home folder got removed | 10:40 |
| akls | damn. | 10:40 |
| akls | shouldn't pcmanfm execute scripts as if it was in that folder? | 10:40 |
| fgh | no akls | 10:56 |
| fgh | caml down ) | 10:56 |
| fgh | first of all, in a script the importance of LINES must be respected | 10:56 |
| tty007 | Hallo | 10:57 |
| akls | fgh, what do you mean? | 10:57 |
| fgh | it means you must leave #!/bin/bash alone in the head | 10:57 |
| fgh | any other command must be in another line | 10:57 |
| akls | fgh, oh, maybe you misunderstood me | 10:57 |
| akls | fgh, let me illustrate that | 10:57 |
| tty007 | Is there anyone who use powermac on lubuntu 12.04 LTS? | 10:57 |
| fgh | tty007: WOOOW you found me! LOL | 10:58 |
| fgh | :D | 10:58 |
| fgh | I'm just installing it on a iBook G4 | 10:58 |
| fgh | Late 2004 | 10:58 |
| akls | fgh, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236259/2012-10-07-135815_496x391_scrot.png here's the script | 10:58 |
| akls | fgh, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236259/2012-10-07-135850_1149x344_scrot.png | 10:59 |
| akls | and here's my folder | 10:59 |
| fgh | oh ok akls, you wrote on the same line up here ^^ :) | 10:59 |
| fgh | Ok | 10:59 |
| tty007 | i got strange behavior when i start system sometimes the kernel crashed and nothing happens | 10:59 |
| akls | fgh, so is it correct behavior for this script to remove all pngs in my home folder when I double click it? | 10:59 |
| tty007 | i dont know but it seems a driver issue | 10:59 |
| fgh | now, SECOND: you have to know that bash's default start-directory is your home dir (unless you changed it, but I don't think so) | 10:59 |
| fgh | akls: yes | 11:00 |
| akls | fgh, why? | 11:00 |
| tty007 | Is there any need of usinf xorg.conf i thought no? | 11:00 |
| akls | fgh, well, if I start it this way https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236259/2012-10-07-140049_195x46_scrot.png | 11:00 |
| akls | fgh, it works correctly | 11:01 |
| fgh | akls: very probably you didn't set the "execution" bit : the permission to execute the script :) | 11:01 |
| akls | fgh, nah, you don't get it... | 11:01 |
| fgh | akls: please use pastebin, images aren't this useful this cases | 11:01 |
| akls | fgh, if I open up a terminal in my folder that contains the script and execute it like ./deletepngs | 11:01 |
| akls | fgh, it works just as I expect it to work | 11:02 |
| akls | fgh, now if I double click it | 11:02 |
| akls | fgh, then pcmanfm gives me this message https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236259/2012-10-07-140215_622x101_scrot.png | 11:02 |
| fgh | akls: press "execute in terminal" | 11:02 |
| akls | I click execute and it executes it from the home folder. Shouldn't it cd to the folder I'm in now? | 11:03 |
| fgh | akls: oooooooh :) | 11:03 |
| akls | fgh, same thing | 11:03 |
| fgh | well nope | 11:03 |
| fgh | you know why? :D | 11:04 |
| akls | nope | 11:04 |
| akls | well, I understand, but for me this seems like a bug | 11:04 |
| fgh | you should add ./ to your rm command to state that you want it to execut on the current folder | 11:04 |
| fgh | if not, bash simply runs it on its default home folder | 11:04 |
| akls | hmmmhmm | 11:05 |
| fgh | rm ./*.png | 11:05 |
| fgh | tty007: which mac you're using? | 11:05 |
| tty007 | fgh: powermac G4 | 11:06 |
| tty007 | fgh: Copyright 1983-2001 | 11:07 |
| akls | fgh, nope, doesn't work | 11:07 |
| fgh | tty007: check which video-chip model it's using and which driver, too | 11:07 |
| fgh | tty007: lspci -k|grep -iA 3 vga | 11:08 |
| fgh | akls: well, and whatt if you choose "run in terminal" instead of "Run"? | 11:08 |
| tty007 | fgh: right know i didnt find out how using pipe on mac keyboard | 11:08 |
| tty007 | fgh: but thanks for info | 11:09 |
| fgh | tty007: :) you should reconfigure your keyboard | 11:09 |
| akls | fgh, same thing | 11:09 |
| fgh | tty007: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration | 11:09 |
| fgh | akls: I don't believe ahah | 11:09 |
| fgh | let me try | 11:09 |
| akls | fgh, I've checked it - it looks like for the script the current folder is /home/myuser | 11:09 |
| akls | fgh, you can use notify-send "${PWD}" to see current directory | 11:12 |
| fgh | akls: wtf you're right | 11:12 |
| fgh | this is fucking pcmanfm bug | 11:12 |
| akls | well, that's the problem :( | 11:12 |
| akls | and that's what I'm talking about | 11:12 |
| fgh | I was already in the way to replace it with another fileman | 11:12 |
| fgh | it sucks | 11:12 |
| fgh | i can't even manage autoplay actions | 11:12 |
| akls | hmm.. now how can I report it? | 11:13 |
| fgh | akls: do you know about something for autoplay? D: | 11:13 |
| akls | fgh, autoplay? what's wrong with autoplay? | 11:13 |
| fgh | akls: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 11:13 |
| fgh | akls: I don't know how to manage actions that i want to happen when certain events happen | 11:14 |
| fgh | sorry for my english, btw I'm not native | 11:14 |
| akls | me too | 11:14 |
| fgh | where are you from? | 11:15 |
| akls | and no, I don't know anything about your problem :\ | 11:15 |
| akls | Estonia | 11:15 |
| fgh | oh | 11:15 |
| fgh | didnt know what .ee was | 11:15 |
| fgh | I thought europe XD | 11:15 |
| akls | :D | 11:15 |
| fgh | and, also .. | 11:16 |
| fgh | our two problems are somewhat related | 11:16 |
| fgh | always fighting against action-amanage windows | 11:16 |
| fgh | asd | 11:16 |
| fgh | akls: I found workaround | 11:18 |
| akls | fgh, so? | 11:18 |
| akls | what is it? | 11:18 |
| fgh | #!/bin/bash | 11:19 |
| fgh | rm `pwd`/*.png; | 11:19 |
| fgh | pwd prints the current directory | 11:19 |
| akls | ah, yeah | 11:19 |
| akls | right | 11:19 |
| akls | by the way, ` ` quotes are old style | 11:20 |
| fgh | lol | 11:20 |
| akls | it's recommended to use $( ) if I'm not mistaken | 11:20 |
| fgh | ye they're the same | 11:20 |
| fgh | and old style is always better x) | 11:20 |
| akls | not really | 11:20 |
| akls | same goes for if [ ] | 11:21 |
| akls | you should use [[ ]] now :) | 11:21 |
| fgh | akls: i don't remember how this symbol is usually called => ` | 11:21 |
| akls | and the reason not to use ` ` is because sometimes on some resources they're replaces with other quotes like ' | 11:21 |
| akls | it's called grave accent | 11:22 |
| fgh | hmmmm nope | 11:22 |
| fgh | that has another common name | 11:22 |
| fgh | it's a high single quote | 11:22 |
| akls | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation_marks | 11:22 |
| fgh | not an accent | 11:22 |
| akls | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_accent | 11:23 |
| fgh | -.- | 11:23 |
| fgh | LOL | 11:23 |
| fgh | è <== this is a grave accent (the one on the e) | 11:24 |
| fgh | è ` | 11:24 |
| fgh | oh fuck | 11:24 |
| fgh | it seemed more high lol | 11:24 |
| fgh | wait but there was another common name xD | 11:24 |
| fgh | (for computers) | 11:25 |
| fgh | FOUND! backtick | 11:27 |

| fgh | !bug 882001 | 11:37 |
| akls | pcmanfm is a shit, yes :\ | 11:37 |
| fgh | mostly because of the lack of documentation | 11:37 |
| akls | it seems like no one is working on it :( | 11:37 |
| fgh | it wouldn't be that bad withh more doc | 11:38 |
| akls | fgh, which nick? :\ | 11:38 |
| fgh | and, also, there *is* someone working lol ... Version 1.0.1 came out not much time ago | 11:38 |
| fgh | akls: In your screenshots .. the username in the console :P | 11:39 |
| akls | fgh, I have "alex" username on my screenshots | 11:40 |
| akls | it's pretty common name | 11:40 |
| akls | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex | 11:40 |
| akls | don't know that taoseeker thing you're talking about | 11:41 |
| fgh | lol I'm not freaking out o.O | 11:42 |
| fgh | WTF, it was the other user's screenshot | 11:43 |
| fgh | bwahaha I seem retarted | 11:43 |
| fgh | I just have to sleep a bit | 11:43 |
| fgh | lol | 11:43 |
| akls | oh, by the way | 11:43 |
| akls | you're wrong | 11:43 |
| akls | <fgh> rm `pwd`/*.png; | 11:43 |
| akls | this is not going to work | 11:43 |
| akls | pwd tells the current directory | 11:44 |
| akls | which is /home/user in pcmanfm case | 11:44 |
| akls | :\ | 11:44 |
| akls | but there's a workaround | 11:44 |
| fgh | akls: | 11:44 |
| fgh | do this | 11:44 |
| fgh | echo -e `pwd`/*.png; | 11:44 |
| akls | the path to the current executing script is stored in $0 | 11:44 |
| fgh | also | 11:45 |
| akls | fgh, no-no and no | 11:45 |
| akls | try it out. it will be /home/user | 11:45 |
| fgh | but (even if I didn't try with rm) I think it works | 11:45 |
| akls | try it out by double-clicking it | 11:45 |
| fgh | no no it works for me | 11:46 |
| fgh | In effect, that command is executed in another shell (by definition of that feature) | 11:46 |
| fgh | but look | 11:46 |
| fgh | linux@eMachines442:~$ echo "`pwd`/*.png" | 11:47 |
| fgh | /home/linux/*.png | 11:47 |
| fgh | linux@eMachines442:~$ cd Scaricati/ | 11:47 |
| fgh | linux@eMachines442:~/Scaricati$ pwd | 11:47 |
| fgh | /home/linux/Scaricati | 11:47 |
| fgh | linux@eMachines442:~/Scaricati$ echo `pwd` | 11:47 |
| fgh | /home/linux/Scaricati | 11:47 |
| fgh | linux@eMachines442:~/Scaricati$ echo `pwd`/*.png | 11:47 |
| fgh | /home/linux/Scaricati/*.png | 11:47 |
| fgh | i DOESN'T show always the homedir as you say | 11:47 |
| akls | NO | 11:48 |
| akls | do not use it from terminal | 11:48 |
| akls | put it in a script, double click to execute it | 11:48 |
| akls | and you will feel the difference | 11:48 |
| akls | of course it works in the terminal | 11:48 |
| akls | but I'm trying to workaround the pcmanfm problem | 11:48 |
| akls | and to feel it - put this in your script | 11:48 |
| akls | notify-send "$(dirname "$0")" | 11:48 |
| akls | notify-send "$(pwd)" | 11:48 |
| fgh | ye correct, $0 could do good | 11:49 |
| fgh | or nope, it prints /bin/bash | 11:52 |
| akls | fgh, only from the terminal. | 11:53 |
| akls | so yeah, using this in a script does work: rm "$(dirname "$0")"/*.png | 11:54 |
| akls | haha, imagine if I was using backticks | 11:54 |
| akls | rm "`dirname "$0"`"/*.png | 11:54 |
| akls | what a mess :D | 11:54 |
| fgh | akls: maybe it's me | 12:04 |
| fgh | maybe i'm tired | 12:04 |
| fgh | but why doesn't it work neither with your solutino? | 12:05 |
| fgh | oh no, it works | 12:06 |
| akls | :) | 12:12 |
| akls | well, bye-bye ;( | 12:20 |

| kanliot | hi BrokenThumb | 12:31 |
| BrokenThumb | Hi kanliot | 12:32 |
| bennypr0fane | hello, I just installed Lubuntu 12.04 and apparently I got all the fonts set to HUGE. In preferences>look and feel, the system font was set to 11, but it looks on my screen like 28 or so. I changed that to 5, and now it's sort of in proportion, but not everywhere | 12:42 |
| bennypr0fane | e.g. font here ins Xchat, in TErminal is still huge | 12:43 |
| bennypr0fane | and the ones in the task bar panel | 12:43 |
| bennypr0fane | would anyone know how to fix this? | 12:44 |
| bioterror | sounds like television usage | 12:44 |
| silverarrow | do you use bluetooth? | 12:45 |
| kanliot | do you have xorg.conf | 12:45 |
| bennypr0fane | yes my screen is a tv | 12:45 |
| bennypr0fane | what is xorg.conf? How do I check if I have it? | 12:46 |
| bennypr0fane | no i don't use bluetooth, why? | 12:47 |
| kanliot | $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:48 |
| bennypr0fane | kanliot "command not found" | 12:48 |
| bioterror | you need to fix the DPI | 12:49 |
| bioterror | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Display_Size_and_DPI | 12:49 |
| kanliot | dont type the $ | 12:49 |
| kanliot | don't read that yet | 12:49 |
| kanliot | i think hes a little new | 12:50 |
| bennypr0fane | I also have Bodhi Linux and LMDE on the same system, both with LXDE on top, haven't had this issue there | 12:50 |
| bennypr0fane | kanliot oops | 12:50 |
| bennypr0fane | that's embarassing | 12:50 |
| bennypr0fane | I thought I wasn't THAT new... | 12:50 |
| bennypr0fane | Section "Device" | 12:50 |
| bennypr0fane | Identifier"Default Device" | 12:50 |
| bennypr0fane | Option"NoLogo""True" | 12:50 |
| bennypr0fane | EndSection | 12:50 |
| bioterror | yeah, dont read it | 12:51 |
| kanliot | i donno | 12:51 |
| bioterror | do as more experienced user kanliot states | 12:51 |
| kanliot | what's your screen resolution | 12:51 |
| bennypr0fane | done | 12:51 |
| bennypr0fane | right now set to 1360x768 | 12:52 |
| kanliot | have you tried rebooting? | 12:52 |
| bennypr0fane | this is the 4th boot or so. you mean reboot after what? | 12:52 |
| kanliot | ok no ideas | 12:53 |
| kanliot | sorry | 12:53 |
| bioterror | kanliot, you have no ideas? | 12:53 |
| kanliot | ya | 12:53 |
| bioterror | Sun15:50 <kanliot> don't read that yet | 12:53 |
| bioterror | what was that all about then? | 12:53 |
| bennypr0fane | looking at the archlinux page | 12:53 |
| bioterror | are you a windows user or what? you think things mystically gets fixed if you just reboot your computer? | 12:54 |
| bennypr0fane | $ xdpyinfo | grep -B2 resolution | 12:54 |
| bennypr0fane | screen #0: | 12:54 |
| bennypr0fane | dimensions: 1360x768 pixels (161x90 millimeters) | 12:54 |
| bennypr0fane | resolution: 215x217 dots per inch | 12:54 |
| bioterror | bennypr0fane, there you go | 12:54 |
| bennypr0fane | what do I need to change it to? | 12:55 |
| bioterror | benny helping another benny, how cute that is <3 | 12:55 |
| bennypr0fane | why, you a benny too? | 12:55 |
| kanliot | physical screen size is very low | 12:55 |
| bennypr0fane | which of these figures is the physical screen size? | 12:56 |
| bioterror | bennypr0fane, check that "Setting DPI manually" it guides you with this option "DPI" "96 x 96" | 12:56 |
| bennypr0fane | ok | 12:57 |
| bioterror | I think 120 x 120 could be a good choice | 12:57 |
| bennypr0fane | oof, I'm not a fan of doing the "manual" thing, I always mess it up | 12:57 |
| bioterror | it's time to cut the umbilical cord ;) | 12:58 |
| bennypr0fane | there's something about Nvidia cards | 12:59 |
| bennypr0fane | I have one and currently using the proprietary driver from Jockey | 12:59 |
| bennypr0fane | so if I want to fix this I have to learn everything about xorg.conf first, yes? | 13:00 |
| bennypr0fane | there is always mention of "screen size", but I'm not sure what is meant by that. Does it mean the max resolution my screen can do, or just what it's currently set to by the OS? | 13:01 |
| bioterror | you just need to add that one line to xorg.conf under section monitor | 13:02 |
| bennypr0fane | whcih one line exactly? trouble is I don't kn ow my monitors exact spüecs, I got it used with no packaging, documentation etc., dont even know model and make (haven't searched its complete surface yet) | 13:04 |
| bioterror | Option "DPI" "96 x 96" | 13:05 |
| bioterror | and you can grow the size from 96 to 120 x 120 | 13:05 |
| kanliot | under Section "Monitor" | 13:05 |
| bennypr0fane | ok | 13:07 |
| bennypr0fane | add it to the current options or replace them? | 13:08 |
| bennypr0fane | now I have "NoLogo" and "True" | 13:08 |
| kanliot | if bio agrees, pastebin you xorg.conf | 13:08 |
| bennypr0fane | it's what I pasted before | 13:09 |
| bioterror | all you have to do is to add one line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 13:09 |
| bennypr0fane | Section "Device" | 13:09 |

| bioterror | is that your whole xorg.conf? | 13:10 |
| bennypr0fane | I'm pasting it here because it's only 4 short lines. don't worry I won't anything longer than that | 13:10 |
| bennypr0fane | yes, that's it | 13:10 |
| bioterror | looks a little crippled for me | 13:11 |
| bennypr0fane | I understand I need to specify the DPI be adding it here, but I'm yet unclear about a) the values and b) whether or not to replace the existing options | 13:12 |
| bennypr0fane | one problem being that I don't know the exact size of my screen | 13:12 |
| bennypr0fane | If I just try something I risk my video stopping to work and my screen is black at the next reboot? | 13:13 |
| bennypr0fane | but I'm thinking maybe iot's possible this xorg.conf does not apply right now because I'm using the Nvidia driver? | 13:14 |
| kanliot | i donno | 13:16 |
| bioterror | rename that config | 13:16 |
| kanliot | you mentioned jockey | 13:16 |
| bioterror | and make a real nvidia config | 13:16 |
| bioterror | nvidia-xconfig is the command | 13:16 |
| bennypr0fane | about me asking all these questions - please try to understand my position. I'm trying my best to decipher that guide, but sentences like: "The Composite extension for X causes an entire sub-tree of the window hierarchy to be rendered to an off-screen buffer" do not make me any smarter I don't want to count the number of words here that I don't know what theyre referring to | 13:18 |
| bennypr0fane | just so you know. some pages contain all the information one needs, if one knows all the other information | 13:19 |
| bioterror | rename the xorg.conf you have now have | 13:19 |
| bioterror | with like xorg.conf.old | 13:19 |
| bioterror | and make a new REAL config with this nvidia-xconfig command | 13:20 |
| bennypr0fane | ok, so rename the xorg.config to xorg.conf.old | 13:20 |
| bennypr0fane | will need to gksudo this I guess? | 13:20 |
| bioterror | or sudo | 13:20 |
| bennypr0fane | "rename" is the command for renaming? | 13:21 |
| kanliot | you can use pcmanfm if that would help | 13:22 |
| bennypr0fane | ok, made it | 13:24 |
| bennypr0fane | now what do i need to put into the new conf | 13:24 |
| bioterror | nothing | 13:25 |
| bioterror | crate it with this nvidia's tool | 13:25 |
| bennypr0fane | http://pastebin.com/2Q7cnntG | 13:27 |
| bennypr0fane | ok, here's what the new one looks like | 13:27 |
| bennypr0fane_ | nah, it iddn't work, fonts are still huge | 13:34 |
| === bennypr0fane_ is now known as bennypr0fane | ||
| kanliot | just a guess but your new xorg didn't have the lines | 13:35 |
| kanliot | that you were asked to add | 13:35 |
| kanliot | please don't read any emotion into my information | 13:36 |
| bennypr0fane | ok, I won't | 13:38 |
| kanliot | cool | 13:39 |
| bennypr0fane | as cool as pumpkin and honey-bunny. the .conf already contains a section for "Monitor". that section has a line "option" do I add another line with "option" and the dpi value, or jsut the dpi value in the existing "option" line | 13:40 |
| kanliot | new line | 13:41 |
| bennypr0fane | OR will it be ok to completely add this: "Section "Monitor" | 13:41 |
| bennypr0fane | Identifier "Monitor0" | 13:41 |
| bennypr0fane | Option "DPI" "96 x 96" | 13:41 |
| bennypr0fane | EndSection" to whatever is already there? | 13:41 |
| bennypr0fane | right now, I made this: | 13:41 |
| kanliot | no, because that will be 2 monitor sections | 13:41 |
| bennypr0fane | Section "Monitor" | 13:42 |
| bennypr0fane | Identifier "Monitor0" | 13:42 |
| bennypr0fane | VendorName "Unknown" | 13:42 |

| bennypr0fane | EndSection | 13:42 |
| bennypr0fane | good like that? | 13:42 |
| kanliot | good | 13:42 |
| bennypr0fane | awesome | 13:42 |
| bennypr0fane | trying the new dpi now. must reboot for that, yes? | 13:44 |
| kanliot | actually i donno | 13:44 |
| bennypr0fane | ok, I'll try. | 13:45 |
| kanliot | hi redderhs i got yer message about vlc | 13:49 |

| sb1980 | hi! i'm having troubles with my audio in lubuntu: different apps seem to block each other from using the audio output. when i have a flash running, afterwards mpd gives no audio output anymore e.g. | 14:02 |
| sb1980 | how can i resolve this? | 14:02 |
| bioterror | I solved it using jack | 14:04 |
| sb1980 | bioterror: how exactly? | 14:06 |
| sb1980 | i used pulsaudio but it made things even worse | 14:07 |
| bioterror | I installed some alsa plugins and added couple of lines to asound.conf | 14:08 |
| sb1980 | in other news my package manager gui does not work...anyone has an idea for that too? | 14:10 |
| bioterror | !details | sb1980 | 14:10 |
| ubottu | sb1980: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 14:10 |
| sb1980 | i dont have any error messages: whenever the package manager pops up to tell me there are updates available i click on "OK install" and nothing happens ... after a wail it freezes and i then use apt from the command line to update | 14:13 |
| bioterror | and this is 12.04? | 14:14 |
| sb1980 | bioterror: yes | 14:17 |
| sb1980 | i have the feeling that the whole system seems to be some kind of damaged - though i did no modifications. skype, audio and package manager | 14:17 |
| sb1980 | all not working | 14:18 |
| bioterror | I would run this update tool from terminal | 14:18 |
| bioterror | to see messages | 14:18 |
| sb1980 | whats the cmd for the update center? i looks different then the synaptic manager itself | 14:20 |
| redderhs | update manager or software center? | 14:30 |
| redderhs | try update-manager | 14:31 |
| sb1980 | it seems like it's hanging when updating triggers for gnome menus | 14:39 |
| sb1980 | i now reinstalled pulseaudio which results in flash player crashing everytime | 14:53 |

| Cliperex | Hello all. i need some feedback about an issue. i have tried Lubuntu 12.10 B2 from a cd (try before install) on my HP nc6220 laptop, after like 10 minutes or so , i got an error that XML parsing didnt work , somthing was not found , the mouse was working but i could not see the desktop or taskbar , only the install lubuntu icon was visable. was this error hardware related or somthing that | 18:18 |
| Cliperex | is known to be on try before install mode ? thanks for any comment. | 18:18 |
| bioterror | how about a real installation? | 18:20 |
| Cliperex | i have an os on the hard drive. it will take some time to back it up so want to try before removing that os or dual boot. , also , one could argue that if it doesnt work on try mode what would promise that it will work in real install ? | 18:22 |
| Cliperex | is it a good idea to post this issue on a forum somewhere or just leave it at that | 18:24 |

| kanliot | although chromium eats all your memory | 19:04 |
| varikonniemi | no i did not backup | 19:17 |
| varikonniemi | it is an old computer, a friend was throwing it away ie gave it to me. | 19:17 |
| varikonniemi | i am installing ubuntu atm, but think unity is too much for it | 19:18 |

| bennypr0fane | hello, my laptop has a weird wireless card - it is switched off by default at startup. to fix that, I used an rfkill command in a script to run at start up and that normally wouldn't do anything. Now I forgot where that script is. Where would you start to look? | 19:55 |
| bioterror | from your browsers history | 19:56 |
| bennypr0fane | why the browser? | 19:57 |
| bennypr0fane | you mean the file browser? | 19:57 |
| bioterror | well, you probably did not invent this script yourself, so you got hint from the world wide web | 19:57 |
| bennypr0fane | yes, on IRC | 19:59 |
| bennypr0fane | in bodhilinux channel. I used it in Lubuntu though, so I thought someone here might know where a script could be located that by default just lies around there doing nothing | 20:00 |
| bennypr0fane | ...but can be used to make things happen at startup | 20:01 |
| phillw | bioterror: are you familiar with pcmanfm losing the ability to open up an image file and be able to print it? | 20:04 |
| bioterror | what does his image properties tell about opening an image? | 20:05 |
| bioterror | is there gpicview? | 20:05 |
| bioterror | or what was the default image viewer | 20:05 |
| phillw | it does appear to be the default image viewer that pcmanfm linked to in 12.04 (which was working), the print option is no longer avaialable | 20:06 |
| bioterror | who stole printing :--) | 20:07 |
| phillw | bioterror: something stole the print option :( | 20:08 |
| bioterror | gotta change image viewer then | 20:08 |
| phillw | still has all the re-vectoring of images etc.... just no longer a print! | 20:08 |
| bennypr0fane | I think gpicview is the default viewer, and yes printing option is missing | 20:08 |
| bennypr0fane | it sucks | 20:09 |
| bioterror | yes and no, saves the environment | 20:09 |
| bioterror | green thinking! | 20:09 |
| phillw | bennypr0fane: you confirm no print option? | 20:09 |
| bennypr0fane | in fact, there isn't any application lets you print images in a default isntall | 20:09 |
| bennypr0fane | phillw yes, I happen to have looked for it just yesterday | 20:10 |
| phillw | bioterror: for little niece to have her stuff at school, the other option is the wonderfully 'green' printers at the suprtmarkets :) | 20:10 |
| bennypr0fane | bioterror haha, hence yr nick! | 20:10 |
| bennypr0fane | "green printers"? | 20:10 |
| bennypr0fane | wazzat? | 20:11 |
| bioterror | i managed to live without a printer at home for over 10 years | 20:12 |
| phillw | bennypr0fane: the companies who re-fill the cartridges, instead of land fill and making new ones. | 20:13 |
| bennypr0fane | it's not that hard really | 20:13 |
| bennypr0fane | refilling the cartridges is called "green" | 20:14 |
| bioterror | phillw, that's part of the "lightbulp scam" | 20:14 |
| bennypr0fane | yeah | 20:14 |
| phillw | bennypr0fane: bioterror... it is better than the alternative. | 20:14 |
| bennypr0fane | really not much green to it IMO | 20:14 |
| phillw | perfect, it is not... better than current.. it is. | 20:14 |
| phillw | -ot, any one? | 20:15 |
| bennypr0fane | I used to need to print a lot more in college, but after that, necessity plummeted | 20:15 |
| bennypr0fane | still have a printer though. It only works when I don't reallys need to print there and then | 20:16 |

| cowmix | installed ubuntu-server | 21:10 |
| cowmix | then install lubuntu-desktop | 21:10 |
| cowmix | i don't want lubuntu to startup on the main console at boot time | 21:11 |
| cowmix | (I'm running it in VNC instead) | 21:11 |
| home_ | Using Lubuntu PowerPC on a iBookG4 (late 2004). It's grat+ | 21:12 |

| holstein | cowmix: you are auto logging in? or you dont want x to start? you dont want a login manager to start? | 21:13 |
| bioterror | holstein, I would add text to boot parameters ;) | 21:13 |

| cowmix | yeah.. I tried that link and it doesn't do the job for some reason: /etc/default/grub | 21:18 |
| cowmix | oops.. here's the link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4008482/capture/no-workin.png | 21:18 |

| cowmix | holstein: Yup.. I even tried: sudo update-rc.d -f lxdm remove | 21:25 |
| cowmix | it's crazy | 21:25 |
| holstein | cowmix: what all else have you tried?.. maybe you did something agressive that has broken functionality? | 21:26 |
| bioterror | if you have 12.04 or newer, you're using LightDM instead of LXDM | 21:26 |
| cowmix | oh.. duh | 21:27 |

| silverarrow | home_: anyhow I think bluetooth is all warped for ppc in 12.04 | 21:34 |
| silverarrow | slightly better hope from 12.10 | 21:34 |
| home_ | silverarrow: my late-2004 1.33ghz one hasn't bluetooth device | 21:36 |
| home_ | even if I have the driver installed correctly lol | 21:36 |
| silverarrow | it`s not a bit thing | 21:36 |
| silverarrow | can be handy for some printers though | 21:37 |
| holstein | cowmix: i would say, if lightdm is still coming up, then you didnt remove it. i would search it in a package manager and purge it | 21:38 |
| home_ | silverarrow: I'm more angry for the lack of multitouch driver for ADB Mouse | 21:39 |

| home_ | me too, lol | 21:52 |
| silverarrow | funny we should be on ppc | 21:52 |
| home_ | ihih | 21:52 |
| home_ | anyway, you think skype would run slightly? | 21:53 |
| home_ | I have not any hope lol | 21:53 |
| silverarrow | yes | 21:53 |
| silverarrow | it should | 21:53 |
| home_ | mmmh let's give a try | 21:53 |
| home_ | oh but it exists a ppc version?? :S | 21:54 |
| silverarrow | flash is a problem, but so with ppc | 21:54 |
| silverarrow | the only thing osx have over lubuntu and debian, is probably tenfourfox | 21:54 |
| silverarrow | and a working minitube | 21:55 |
| silverarrow | which hopefully gets sorted out though | 21:55 |
| silverarrow | apps like minitube is make or brake for ppc | 21:55 |
| silverarrow | let me check for skype | 21:55 |
| home_ | ye, I'm using midori to use h264 and WebM for youtube, and for all other stuff I use gnash which runs not too bad | 21:55 |
| silverarrow | midori works with gnash | 21:55 |
| home_ | but sometimes midori isn't fast on normal page loading | 21:56 |
| home_ | so I combine it with operaPPC, which is fine | 21:56 |
| silverarrow | gnash streams fine on the higher specked G4s and G5s, arguably well on 1.42GHz | 21:56 |
| home_ | normal browsing with opera | 21:56 |
| silverarrow | come to think of it, skype is only available from their homesite | 21:57 |
| home_ | hmmm I have a lot of jerks | 21:57 |
| silverarrow | midori can crash, but there are a few fixes for it, but you need to go on their site | 21:58 |
| redderhs | skype changed a lot | 21:59 |
| home_ | maybe we're pretending too much. Skype, a MS application, to run on linux, and more than all, on PPC | 21:59 |
| redderhs | since ms bought them. they changed all their routing of traffic | 21:59 |
| silverarrow | yeah, I have probably never had skype on ppc, only lubuntu on the hp computer | 22:00 |
| silverarrow | I haven`t used skype in over a year | 22:00 |
| * home_ takes a good white tea | 22:01 | |
| silverarrow | minitube is all smooth and fine on ppc, when it workws | 22:02 |
| silverarrow | at the moment it doesn`t at all | 22:02 |
| silverarrow | we lost flash video replacer | 22:02 |
| silverarrow | a couple of months ago | 22:02 |
| silverarrow | it was all fine for ppc, gnome mplayer and the ff adon | 22:03 |
| home_ | flash video replacer? never heard of that | 22:03 |
| silverarrow | white tea, chinas best tea | 22:03 |
| silverarrow | firefox addon, worked superbly | 22:04 |
| home_ | I'm also sad for minitube not working at all. I experienced it some days ago, but thought it was my fault for the lack of something | 22:04 |
| silverarrow | the maker took it out of the list for some reason | 22:04 |
| silverarrow | I hope they can make minitube work for quantal | 22:05 |
| home_ | and also (:D) , I'm VERY angry with google, because of the youtube ads. They're freaking me out | 22:05 |
| bioterror | what's youtube ads?-) | 22:05 |
| home_ | advertisements | 22:06 |
| silverarrow | I think there are addons in ff that blocks them, | 22:06 |
| home_ | spots | 22:06 |
| home_ | thereis a couple | 22:06 |
| bioterror | have not seen any of them with my adblock on chromium | 22:06 |
| home_ | but don't work all good | 22:06 |
| silverarrow | bioterror: small commercial clips that appears before the actual video | 22:06 |
| bioterror | nope, have not seen them ;) | 22:07 |
| bioterror | on commercial tv channels, yes | 22:07 |
| silverarrow | chromium is good | 22:07 |
| silverarrow | i shall make an attempt at ubuntu quantal when I get my laptop back | 22:08 |
| silverarrow | chrome and flash bundle is good too | 22:08 |
| bioterror | no problems with pepper flash | 22:08 |
| home_ | bioterror: doesn't it seem too strange to you? Google, the same owner of youtube, which makes an extension to block its own advertisement, from which gain money | 22:08 |
| home_ | because chrome/chromium are from google :D | 22:08 |
| home_ | lol | 22:08 |
| bioterror | home_, yes it actually sounds | 22:08 |
| silverarrow | yeah, I heard rumors pepper flash or api, should work on powerpc but so far not | 22:08 |
| bioterror | home_, but I do also block their analysts ;) | 22:09 |
| home_ | bioterror: I'd not be so sure if I was you | 22:09 |
| home_ | jst throw it to the trash | 22:09 |
| home_ | and join good browsers :P | 22:09 |
| home_ | *enjoy | 22:09 |
| silverarrow | I have major issues with scrips running in firefox 15.0.1 in quantal | 22:09 |
| bioterror | I'm far from googles dream users ;) | 22:09 |
| bioterror | but most of the times, I get pages loaded quite snappy | 22:10 |
| home_ | btw I love opera, I think it's always been the best browser | 22:12 |
| home_ | but opera too doesn't respect user's privacy at all | 22:12 |
| bioterror | it now has almost usable ad block | 22:12 |
| bioterror | wish they would drop all the emails, torrent clients, irc clients and whatso ever off the browser | 22:13 |
| bioterror | and keep it more simple | 22:13 |
| bioterror | the mouse gestures are killers in opera | 22:13 |
| home_ | lol .. you just need to disable them ;) | 22:13 |
| bioterror | I hate the somethingboy ad site listing + css thingie | 22:13 |
| home_ | I don't like them this much, too | 22:13 |
| home_ | ahahah | 22:13 |
| home_ | btw .. I'm not managing to enable autologin | 22:15 |
| home_ | maybe it's because of my crazy choice of "home" as username :D | 22:15 |
| home_ | I just enable the feature from the conf file (already did somewhere else and it worked) | 22:15 |
| bioterror | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11104521&postcount=2 | 22:16 |
| home_ | but it doesn't work | 22:16 |
| bioterror | tested, should work :-) | 22:16 |
| bioterror | but I'm off to bed | 22:16 |
| bioterror | good night | 22:16 |
| home_ | night | 22:16 |
| silverarrow | opera email works | 22:17 |
| home_ | y | 22:17 |
| home_ | silverarrow: You know what the worst thing I've experienced this time is? | 22:18 |
| silverarrow | no? | 22:18 |
| home_ | pcmanfm's lack of autorun event customization | 22:18 |
| silverarrow | not sure what the is even? | 22:18 |
| home_ | I had to use a veery bad workaround lol | 22:19 |
| home_ | silverarrow: what? | 22:19 |
| silverarrow | what customization have you found? | 22:19 |
| home_ | if you're talking about my english, don't care, just get the sense XD | 22:19 |
| home_ | anyway | 22:19 |
| home_ | I had to install thunar (another lightweight filemanager) | 22:20 |
| home_ | which perfectly manages this types of things | 22:20 |
| home_ | BUT | 22:20 |
| silverarrow | English wasn`t my first language either | 22:20 |
| home_ | it had some things that I didn't like , too | 22:20 |
| home_ | SO I had to find a middle point between the two | 22:20 |
| home_ | ... | 22:20 |
| silverarrow | are there any? | 22:21 |
| home_ | I'm using pcmanfm as filemanager, AND thunar run in background (--daemon) to handle the events and autoruns!!! XD XD | 22:21 |
| home_ | ^^^ | 22:21 |
| home_ | It implies a little slow down because of the waste of resources | 22:21 |
| silverarrow | I always need some time to get used to new features | 22:21 |
| home_ | but it works | 22:21 |
| home_ | and this is what matters | 22:22 |
| silverarrow | like lxde, it is different than kde and gnome | 22:22 |
| home_ | y | 22:22 |
| silverarrow | I haven`t used ubuntu much after they launched Unity, mostly because of lubuntu | 22:22 |
| home_ | but I like it a lot :D (maybe sometimes more than gnome, which is my first choice) | 22:22 |
| home_ | unity sucks, you did the best choice | 22:22 |
| silverarrow | I used to have a laptop which ubuntu drivers could not handle graphics cart at the time | 22:23 |
| silverarrow | radeon something, white screen on every other boot up, so I just stayed with windows and had puppy linux running when I was in the mood for it | 22:24 |
| home_ | puppy linux .. it's fine! XD | 22:24 |
| home_ | I've tried a bunch of lighteight DEs | 22:25 |
| kanliot | what DE does puppy use? | 22:25 |
| silverarrow | I didn`t what to stay with osx on the old iBook, though some stuff is easier to find working apps for | 22:25 |
| silverarrow | want to stay* | 22:25 |
| home_ | actually I can say that lxde is the best because of the right balance between lightweightness and usability/aesthetic | 22:25 |
| home_ | silverarrow: true story | 22:25 |
| home_ | but apple isn't releasing updates anymore | 22:26 |
| silverarrow | at the time I really liked gnome mplayer setup with gecko and flash video replacer too, which is all ruined for ppc | 22:26 |
| home_ | unless I upgrade to Leopard, but it implies the buyment of new hdd and RAM | 22:26 |
| silverarrow | I suppose tenfourfox and camino is the best for osx ppc | 22:27 |
| home_ | y | 22:27 |
| home_ | tenfourfox more than camino | 22:27 |
| silverarrow | and the youtube player, can`t remember what they call i | 22:27 |
| silverarrow | htlm5 streams better in tenfourfox than in firefox | 22:28 |
| silverarrow | new hdd even? | 22:31 |
| silverarrow | RAM you can be lucky with | 22:31 |
| silverarrow | I installed 1GB extra ram on this ibook and I harldy think it is worth more than 512MB extra | 22:31 |
| home_ | lol | 22:32 |
| silverarrow | after I upgraded from 512MB to 1.5GB, the largest difference is swap doesn`t kick in anymore, | 22:32 |
| home_ | I have indeed 512 extra (256 onboard) | 22:32 |
| silverarrow | it is runs smoother though | 22:32 |
| silverarrow | which is probably all you need | 22:32 |
| home_ | but factory hdd has 4600rpm | 22:32 |
| home_ | and it's old | 22:33 |
| home_ | and used | 22:33 |
| home_ | and noisy | 22:33 |
| home_ | even more because of the ext4 fs | 22:33 |
| silverarrow | yeah, 7200rmp is possible, but unless you have one laying about it is hardly worth it | 22:33 |
| silverarrow | on the other hand, an extra HD has never failed to be useful | 22:34 |
| home_ | mmh I wanna replace the existing onboard 2.5" | 22:34 |
| home_ | (to upgrade to leopard) | 22:35 |
| silverarrow | I see | 22:35 |
| home_ | and 7200rpm for 2.5 is quite strange | 22:35 |
| home_ | 5600 I think | 22:35 |
| home_ | and not only this | 22:35 |
| home_ | cache is important too | 22:35 |
| silverarrow | I have a 5400 rmp or something laying about, 6 months old, ATA, but all those screws and disassembling, horror | 22:36 |
| home_ | naa it isn't all this pain :D | 22:36 |
| silverarrow | I haven`t thought much about HD cache really, | 22:36 |
| silverarrow | you still can get new ATA hd if you do some searching | 22:37 |
| home_ | ye but it's expensive | 22:37 |
| home_ | too much | 22:38 |
| home_ | unless I find some good offer on ebay | 22:38 |
| silverarrow | if the testers and devs manage to fix the bugs, lubuntu is quite good for ppc | 22:40 |
| home_ | ye I agree !! | 22:40 |
| silverarrow | I think they are struggling too much with major stuff like bootable iso images, kernel and xorg troubles | 22:41 |
| silverarrow | hope they get around to it | 22:41 |
| silverarrow | I have a strong feeling what goes wrong on ppc isn`t always ppc specific | 22:41 |
| silverarrow | it pops up on different hardware | 22:41 |
| home_ | y | 22:43 |
| home_ | silverarrow: how did you handle the right click behaviour? | 22:43 |
| home_ | I used AppleKey + Clic , but It's not what I wanted | 22:43 |
| silverarrow | wonder how easily an ibook would accept a new hd | 22:43 |
| silverarrow | twofinger click works on mine+ | 22:44 |
| silverarrow | ? | 22:44 |
| silverarrow | I get a menue up | 22:44 |
| home_ | oh | 22:44 |
| home_ | you've synaptics touch? | 22:44 |
| silverarrow | well, not sure | 22:44 |
| home_ | xinput list shows you all | 22:45 |
| home_ | pipe to pastebini | 22:45 |
| home_ | t | 22:45 |
| silverarrow | one click enter, twofinger click is the same as right click | 22:45 |
| home_ | ohhh I envie you | 22:45 |
| home_ | UFFFF | 22:45 |
| silverarrow | http://imagebin.org/231238 | 22:46 |
| silverarrow | shouldn`t we have the same mouse? | 22:47 |
| home_ | nope, I'm sad to say it but this is what it is | 22:47 |
| home_ | you have appletouch | 22:48 |
| home_ | I think it is synaptics yeah | 22:48 |
| home_ | I have ADB Mouse instead | 22:48 |
| home_ | different iBook versions have different touch | 22:48 |
| silverarrow | i see | 22:49 |
| silverarrow | external mouse should worok | 22:50 |
| silverarrow | usb I mean | 22:50 |
| home_ | yes of course | 22:50 |
| home_ | but it's not the same :) | 22:50 |
| silverarrow | true | 22:50 |
| home_ | if I were you, i'd enabled Natural Scrolling :3 | 22:51 |
| silverarrow | some seem to prefer the usb connected mouse, keep it in their laptop bag | 22:51 |
| silverarrow | home, how do I do that? not sure I wanna do something I can`t revers myself lol | 22:52 |
| home_ | lol | 22:52 |
| home_ | ubuntu has a specific applet | 22:52 |
| home_ | I think you just need to install and enable it :) | 22:52 |
| home_ | (supposing you've already enabled touchpad scroll .. which I kew it was done with 2-finger, but you said 2fingers are RIGHTclick to you) | 22:53 |
| home_ | s/kew/knew | 22:53 |
| silverarrow | yeah, ? | 22:55 |
| silverarrow | twofinger click gives a menu? | 22:56 |
| home_ | oh click is different than scroll (keep fingers on it) | 22:56 |
| silverarrow | the click part in front of the pad has only enter function | 22:56 |
| home_ | so, just try it .. does it scroll with two fingers? | 22:56 |
| silverarrow | it does | 22:57 |
| home_ | ok | 22:57 |
| silverarrow | never noticed that | 22:57 |
| silverarrow | I hold down the click function, and shroll with one finger | 22:57 |
| silverarrow | works the same | 22:57 |
| home_ | ok | 22:58 |
| silverarrow | there are no fixes for you mouse? | 22:58 |
| home_ | so, there is a ppa, or a manual tweak (but it's fast to do) | 22:58 |
| home_ | silverarrow: actually not | 22:59 |
| home_ | http://maketecheasier.com/reverse-mouse-scrolling-direction-in-ubuntu/2011/09/16 | 22:59 |
| home_ | oh wait, sorry | 23:00 |
| home_ | that doesn't work properly on 12.04 | 23:00 |
| home_ | these are the right instructions: http://andym3.wordpress.com/2012/05/27/fixing-natural-scrolling-in-ubuntu-12-04/ | 23:01 |
| silverarrow | I`m in 12.10 | 23:01 |
| silverarrow | I upgraded about a week ago | 23:02 |
| silverarrow | finally made it install | 23:02 |
| silverarrow | that is why I still have no sound | 23:02 |
| silverarrow | system seems stable, boots fine, most stuff work | 23:02 |
| home_ | baah I hate non-lts releasee | 23:04 |
| silverarrow | yeah, 12.04 is good like that | 23:04 |
| home_ | and I hate this frequent updating typical of ubuntu | 23:04 |
| silverarrow | problem with lts ppc it is hardly going to improve | 23:04 |
| silverarrow | with all the broken browser plugin packages, there wasn`t that much left I cared about I could not have in 12.10 | 23:05 |
| silverarrow | so I thought at least | 23:06 |
| silverarrow | beta has issues, but they are working on them | 23:06 |
| silverarrow | they have some clever guys on the team, | 23:06 |
| silverarrow | I think Ubuntu has agreed to keep up ppc support to some agree | 23:07 |
| silverarrow | or they would not have bothered, there is no official support | 23:07 |
| silverarrow | for a while I thought debian was the best ppc distro | 23:08 |
| silverarrow | But the issus are much the same, and I like lubutu setup | 23:08 |
| silverarrow | ...if it worked | 23:08 |
| home_ | lol | 23:08 |
| home_ | I try again the autologin | 23:09 |
| home_ | I hope the suggestion works | 23:09 |
| l0p3n | Hello! In this guide https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Lubuntu/RemoteDesktop it says I can enable vine on boot from Desktop Session Settings. The problem is I cant find Desktop session settings. Where is it? | 23:16 |
| l0p3n | I tried application find but it doesn't seem to exist on my computer. | 23:17 |
| l0p3n | *finder | 23:17 |
| silverarrow | menu-preferances | 23:21 |
| silverarrow | preferences | 23:21 |
| silverarrow | sorry | 23:21 |
| silverarrow | I am in 12.10 though, but should be there | 23:21 |
| l0p3n | I found Session and startup not sure if it is the same.. | 23:29 |
| silverarrow | I haven`t used vine in ages | 23:39 |
| silverarrow | bioterror is a wizz | 23:39 |
| silverarrow | but the nick is a classical freudian slip, so be warned | 23:39 |
