Dice-Man | hi people | 03:03 |
IboS | hi | 03:03 |
IboS | i have a problem with conky on lubuntu | 03:03 |
IboS | it doesn't launch | 03:03 |
IboS | it doesn't show anything | 03:03 |
IboS | i launch conky | 03:04 |
IboS | it says conky:desktop window (number) is subwindows of root window (number) | 03:04 |
kanliot | since lubuntu doesn't use compositing, you need a special conky config | 03:29 |
cristian_c | Hi | 08:43 |
cristian_c | I'm looking for the lubuntu developers mailing list | 08:43 |
cristian_c | but I don't find it :( | 08:43 |
JohnDoe_71Rus | launchpad ubuntu team is not they? | 08:55 |
JohnDoe_71Rus | sorry lubuntu | 08:55 |
cristian_c | JohnDoe_71Rus, I was told to write to their mailing list :) | 08:59 |
cristian_c | JohnDoe_71Rus, but I don't know what mailing list the launchpad lubuntu team uses | 09:19 |
Gosy | howdy y'all | 12:10 |
KJDHS | Hello, can i get some help here ? :) i accidentally deleted my desktop folder | 12:21 |
kanliot | How did you delete it | 12:23 |
KJDHS | in my home user foler | 12:23 |
KJDHS | folder* | 12:23 |
kanliot | was it file manager | 12:23 |
KJDHS | no, just "Desktop" | 12:24 |
kanliot | was it moved to trashcan | 12:24 |
KJDHS | and now everything on the actual desktop appears in my user folder | 12:24 |
kanliot | in pcmanfm? | 12:24 |
KJDHS | yes but i emptied the trashcan | 12:25 |
kanliot | is your problem recreating a "Desktop" folder | 12:25 |
KJDHS | the file manager is working | 12:25 |
kanliot | or something with pcmanfm | 12:25 |
KJDHS | yes, exactly | 12:25 |
KJDHS | recreating the "desktop" folder is the problem | 12:25 |
kanliot | just create a "Desktop" folder in your home folder | 12:25 |
kanliot | mind the capital letter | 12:26 |
KJDHS | it doesn't work properly, it appears on the desktop aswel, and everything i create on the desktop appears along side with it | 12:26 |
KJDHS | on the user folder | 12:26 |
kanliot | are you sure you created the folder correctly? | 12:27 |
kanliot | logouty and login to restart pcmanfm | 12:27 |
kanliot | or just restart it if you know how | 12:27 |
KJDHS | pcmanfm the file manager is working great | 12:28 |
kanliot | you need to restart the program that shows files on the desktop. no? | 12:29 |
KJDHS | no, the problem is that...now if i create a shortcut on my desktop, it appears the shortcut on my user folder instead in the "desktop" folder | 12:29 |
kanliot | i need you to restart the pcmanfm desktop | 12:30 |
KJDHS | and if i create in my user folder, a folder named "Desktop" then it appears that too on my actual Desktop | 12:30 |
kanliot | ^ | 12:30 |
KJDHS | how do i restart pcmanfm desktop ? :) | 12:31 |
kanliot | logout is easy | 12:31 |
KJDHS | i did that already, it did not work | 12:31 |
kanliot | hold on i will delete my dekstop folder | 12:33 |
KJDHS | ok.. | 12:34 |
kanliot | does it give you a "specified directory is invalid" error? | 12:35 |
KJDHS | no | 12:35 |
KJDHS | my user folder now is acting just like the desktop folder which i deleted | 12:35 |
KJDHS | i had "specified directory is invalid" errors about the shortcuts i had on desktop, since they were deleted | 12:40 |
Zephyrus1 | test | 12:41 |
kanliot | please edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 12:43 |
kanliot | the first XDG_ line | 12:43 |
kanliot | is that too technical? | 12:44 |
kanliot | brb | 12:44 |
KJDHS | ok | 12:44 |
KJDHS | brb | 12:58 |
KJDHS | i am back, kanliot...the problem is fixed, if you want to know how let me know | 13:21 |
kanliot | hhow | 13:22 |
KJDHS | open up a lxterminal | 13:23 |
KJDHS | write in it gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 13:24 |
KJDHS | modifiy the first line into this | 13:25 |
KJDHS | XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" | 13:25 |
KJDHS | just write at the end after the slash Desktop | 13:25 |
KJDHS | save it | 13:25 |
KJDHS | and then create a desktop folder in your user folder, it will appear aswel for the moment on your desktop | 13:25 |
KJDHS | restart your pc | 13:25 |
KJDHS | and yuou are done, it will disappear from your desktop | 13:26 |
KJDHS | you* | 13:26 |
kanliot | k | 13:26 |
kanliot | i put some instructions on the pcmanfm wiki page | 13:27 |
KJDHS | well...i'm glad that it's alright now.. | 13:30 |
KJDHS | thanks for the help | 13:30 |
kanliot | you're welcome | 13:30 |
KJDHS | bye kanliot | 13:32 |
bennypr0fane | hello, I have dialogs popping up out of proportion, too large so the buttons are off the screen. How can I make these smaller? | 13:40 |
bennypr0fane | there is one in Opera browser for activating Opera Link. the dialog for this has its buttons ("next, "cancel") at the bottom, but i can't see them | 13:42 |
kanliot | you can drag with window with alt+mouse button | 13:43 |
bennypr0fane | ha, cool! | 13:44 |
Zephyrus1 | Hello | 13:44 |
Zephyrus1 | I've got a question | 13:44 |
kanliot | hi | 13:44 |
kanliot | i knew that | 13:45 |
bennypr0fane | hi Zephyrus1, go ahead | 13:45 |
Zephyrus1 | :D | 13:45 |
Zephyrus1 | i reinstalled lubuntu yesterday | 13:45 |
Zephyrus1 | and now instead of the grub loader | 13:45 |
bennypr0fane | maybe I can resize windows with a key combo? | 13:45 |
Zephyrus1 | i always get a page where i can choose from what to boot | 13:45 |
Zephyrus1 | and one of them is 'ubuntu' and the others hdd usb etc | 13:46 |
Zephyrus1 | and i cant boot from there | 13:46 |
Zephyrus1 | i have to choose hdd first | 13:46 |
Zephyrus1 | which doesn't work | 13:46 |
Zephyrus1 | and then esc | 13:46 |
Zephyrus1 | and then it boots | 13:46 |
kanliot | grub 1.99? | 13:46 |
Zephyrus1 | im not sure | 13:47 |
kanliot | fixing grub can be easy | 13:47 |
kanliot | but it's hard to understand | 13:48 |
kanliot | well hard for me anyhow | 13:48 |
Zephyrus1 | how can i make a screen shot | 13:48 |
bennypr0fane | grub doesn't usually give you the choice of a boot MEDIUM | 13:48 |
Zephyrus1 | i know | 13:48 |
Zephyrus1 | its not the grub screen | 13:48 |
Zephyrus1 | it looks like bios | 13:48 |
Zephyrus1 | but its not biossettings | 13:48 |
bennypr0fane | Zephyrus1 id on't think you can make a screenshot before booting | 13:48 |
bennypr0fane | you'd have to take a photo | 13:48 |
Zephyrus1 | yes i mean of the current screen | 13:49 |
kanliot | use a camera | 13:49 |
Zephyrus1 | ill just copypaste | 13:49 |
Zephyrus1 | sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 13:49 |
Zephyrus1 | [sudo] password for user: | 13:49 |
Zephyrus1 | BootCurrent: 0010 | 13:49 |
Zephyrus1 | Timeout: 0 seconds | 13:49 |
Zephyrus1 | BootOrder: 000D,000B,0007,0008,0009,000A,000E,000C,0006 | 13:49 |
bennypr0fane | use pastebin.com | 13:49 |
Zephyrus1 | there i went | 13:50 |
bennypr0fane | kanliot you know about key combos and how to set them? | 13:50 |
Zephyrus1 | sry i was thrown out because of spam ^^ | 13:50 |
bennypr0fane | Zeph use pastebin.com | 13:50 |
Zephyrus1 | k | 13:50 |
bennypr0fane | spammer! | 13:50 |
bennypr0fane | :-P | 13:51 |
bennypr0fane | kidding | 13:51 |
kanliot | bennypr0fane, i put it on the wiki | 13:51 |
Zephyrus1 | http://pastebin.com/ATwQg7TG | 13:51 |
kanliot | if you could test the wiki for me i'd be thankful | 13:51 |
Zephyrus1 | so you can see it lists drives and cd etc | 13:52 |
kanliot | or i can just tell you | 13:52 |
kanliot | up to you | 13:52 |
Zephyrus1 | and then at the bottom: ubuntu | 13:52 |
Zephyrus1 | and ill guess ill quickly make a photo from the boot screen | 13:52 |
Zephyrus1 | so ll be gone for another few minutes | 13:52 |
bennypr0fane | the lubuntu wiki? just give me a link | 13:52 |
kanliot | should be on google search | 13:53 |
kanliot | i'm not playing with you, i want to see if you can find it | 13:53 |
kanliot | like i said i'll give you the info | 13:53 |
kanliot | if you can find it, then the wiki is ok... | 13:53 |
bennypr0fane | ok | 13:53 |
bennypr0fane | I'll try "lubuntu key combos" | 13:54 |
kanliot | naa search for lubuntu wiki | 13:54 |
bennypr0fane | of course that gets me to the wiki | 13:56 |
bennypr0fane | why shouldn't it? | 13:56 |
bennypr0fane | is that the whole test or did you want to check sht else? | 13:56 |
bennypr0fane | *sth. else | 13:57 |
kanliot | can you find the keyboard stuff on the lubuntu wiki? | 13:57 |
bennypr0fane | it's the 2nd link in Googl and 1st in Duckduckgo | 13:57 |
bennypr0fane | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Keyboard | 13:58 |
kanliot | anyhow you have the option of editing the openbox config, doing xbindkeys, or by using obkey | 13:58 |
bennypr0fane | clicked throug the headlines | 13:58 |
kanliot | ok | 13:59 |
bennypr0fane | it's cool | 13:59 |
bennypr0fane | not every wiki you can actually find a topic that way | 13:59 |
bennypr0fane | so well done | 13:59 |
bennypr0fane | i think I did xbindkeys yesterday i found it confusing | 14:00 |
bennypr0fane | whats obkey? | 14:00 |
kanliot | it's a simple utility that let's you bind keys | 14:00 |
bennypr0fane | ah, it's right there in the wiki | 14:00 |
Zephyrus1 | hello again | 14:01 |
Zephyrus1 | so this is odd | 14:02 |
bennypr0fane | preferences>keybd inup | 14:02 |
bennypr0fane | *>keybd input methods? | 14:02 |
Zephyrus1 | I actually have ubuntu as an option in my biossetup | 14:02 |
kanliot | obkey? | 14:02 |
bennypr0fane | that gets me to ibus service | 14:02 |
Zephyrus1 | *bootoption | 14:02 |
kanliot | sorry i'm newb at grub2 | 14:03 |
kanliot | #ubuntu or forums... | 14:03 |
bennypr0fane | no, obkey not installed, i think | 14:03 |
Zephyrus1 | yeah i 'fixed' it | 14:03 |
Zephyrus1 | http://imgur.com/geWt6 | 14:03 |
kanliot | no input methods not what you want | 14:03 |
Zephyrus1 | by moving it under the hd option | 14:04 |
kanliot | :) | 14:04 |
kanliot | good Zephyrus1 | 14:04 |
Zephyrus1 | so now it just loads grub normally instead | 14:04 |
bennypr0fane | Zeph but what happened to your grub? | 14:04 |
bennypr0fane | aha | 14:04 |
Zephyrus1 | its not the grub making problems | 14:04 |
Zephyrus1 | i think its due to ubuntu being a device option in my bios | 14:04 |
Zephyrus1 | and when thats choosen as the first boot option | 14:05 |
Zephyrus1 | i get this error | 14:05 |
kanliot | i don't even know why ubuntuy is there | 14:05 |
kanliot | do you have a flash drive inserted? | 14:05 |
Zephyrus1 | http://imgur.com/Y6ayT | 14:05 |
Zephyrus1 | no, not anymore, but i used usb to install lubuntu | 14:05 |
bennypr0fane | this is weird | 14:06 |
kanliot | i thought i knew bios | 14:06 |
kanliot | but i evidently do not | 14:06 |
bennypr0fane | it means that bios must think ubuntu is a medium/device | 14:06 |
Zephyrus1 | and you can't really google efficiently for: 'ubuntu in bios boot devices' | 14:06 |
bennypr0fane | so the solution is you just don't choose that to boot, but your hdd? | 14:07 |
kanliot | nope | 14:07 |
Zephyrus1 | yes | 14:08 |
Zephyrus1 | i put it at top | 14:08 |
Zephyrus1 | and it just goes to the grubscreen | 14:08 |
bennypr0fane | kanliot lxkeymap is not it either, is it? then where is this xbindkeys? | 14:08 |
silverarrow | usb boot can be a bit fickely | 14:08 |
bennypr0fane | "fickely"? :-D | 14:09 |
bennypr0fane | is it cli? | 14:09 |
Zephyrus1 | apparently it has something to do with EFI | 14:09 |
silverarrow | yeah, biosetting, getting the iso correctly on the flash, .... | 14:09 |
kanliot | try obkey, then editing openbox by hand | 14:10 |
kanliot | then xbindkeys | 14:10 |
kanliot | in order of difficulty | 14:10 |
bennypr0fane | aha | 14:10 |
bennypr0fane | ok | 14:10 |
kanliot | although someone will come in here and say xbindkeys is easier | 14:10 |
kanliot | i know it | 14:10 |
Zephyrus1 | iwell ty anyways, it's working now ;) | 14:12 |
bennypr0fane | good | 14:12 |
Zephyrus1 | goodbye | 14:13 |
bennypr0fane | you should e-mail Canonical | 14:13 |
Zephyrus1 | me? | 14:13 |
bennypr0fane | yeah | 14:13 |
Zephyrus1 | Ok | 14:13 |
bennypr0fane | tell em the UEFI secure boot problem is solved | 14:13 |
bennypr0fane | you just let Bios boot right to Ubuntu! | 14:13 |
bennypr0fane | :-D | 14:13 |
Zephyrus1 | haxx | 14:14 |
Zephyrus1 | :P | 14:14 |
Zephyrus1 | im just ignoring the problem, i know | 14:14 |
Zephyrus1 | ^^ | 14:14 |
bennypr0fane | have a good day! | 14:14 |
Zephyrus1 | you too | 14:14 |
bennypr0fane | obkey can't find ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml file | 14:16 |
bennypr0fane | is that supposed to be there? should i create it? | 14:16 |
kanliot | nope | 14:17 |
kanliot | it's a file called lubuntu something.xml | 14:17 |
kanliot | lubuntu-rc.xml | 14:17 |
bennypr0fane | obkey lets me edit that? | 14:17 |
kanliot | i donno | 14:17 |
bennypr0fane | I mean is lubuntu-rc.xml supposed to be there already, or do I need to create it? | 14:18 |
kanliot | should be there | 14:19 |
kanliot | must be there | 14:19 |
bennypr0fane | where exactly? | 14:20 |
kanliot | ~/.config/openbox | 14:21 |
kanliot | in that directory | 14:21 |
bennypr0fane | http://pastebin.com/YKLaTqmv | 14:21 |
bennypr0fane | I'm sortry, I don't know what the ~ means in front of the / | 14:23 |
kanliot | it means home dir | 14:24 |
kanliot | you see it in your bash prompt | 14:25 |
kanliot | actually it works with obkey ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml | 14:27 |
bennypr0fane | yay! | 14:27 |
kanliot | i'm making wiki edits as you make progress :) | 14:29 |
kanliot | about 4 edits so far | 14:29 |
bennypr0fane | cool | 14:30 |
kanliot | yup | 14:31 |
bennypr0fane | i *dded * keybind now | 14:32 |
bennypr0fane | result * key (first letter of *lph*bet) resizes the *ctive window! | 14:33 |
bennypr0fane | trying to undo this now... | 14:33 |
bennypr0fane | ok got rid of that | 14:35 |
bennypr0fane | apparently if you press "add new sibling keybind", its' assigned the a-key by default, and takes effect if you don't change it | 14:36 |
bennypr0fane | I want to assign "resize active window" to Shift+Pagedown | 14:37 |
kanliot | should be ok | 14:39 |
kanliot | there's a resize function | 14:39 |
bennypr0fane | not working | 14:39 |
bennypr0fane | it does nothing | 14:39 |
kanliot | you probably didn't do openbox --reconfigure | 14:39 |
kanliot | after saving | 14:39 |
bennypr0fane | did not | 14:39 |
bennypr0fane | where is that | 14:39 |
bennypr0fane | oh in the terminal | 14:40 |
kanliot | yup | 14:41 |
kanliot | man openbox | 14:41 |
bennypr0fane | still nothing | 14:41 |
bennypr0fane | save, close obkey, openbox --reconfigure, no effect | 14:42 |
bennypr0fane | what's with the "edge" setting in top right? what's it refer to? | 14:43 |
kanliot | yeah was looking at that | 14:43 |
bennypr0fane | *top right of obkey | 14:43 |
kanliot | snack time | 14:44 |
bennypr0fane | I think the obkey guys should add the info about doing openbox --reconfigure afterwards | 14:44 |
bennypr0fane | yeah, good call | 14:44 |
kanliot | yeah well i didn't see any obkey docs at all | 14:45 |
kanliot | can't complain if they don't exist | 14:45 |
kanliot | http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#Resize | 15:01 |
kanliot | openbox actually has fine dox | 15:02 |
cowmix | I asked this last night so sorry for the repeat but does anyone know how to prevent Lubuntu desktop from loading on boot up? | 16:59 |
bioterror | and I told to use "text" on grubs kernel line | 17:00 |
bioterror | and I think so did holstein too | 17:00 |
cowmix | bioterror: Yeah, i wish that worked.. I'll figure it out and post back | 17:00 |
bioterror | why it would not work? | 17:01 |
bioterror | after the "ro" you add "text" without "" | 17:01 |
bioterror | probably there's quiet too | 17:01 |
cowmix | for some odd reason no matter what I do, it boots into X. | 17:02 |
cowmix | I'm going to reinstall and start fresh | 17:02 |
bioterror | it will not boot into X if you use this "text" | 17:02 |
bioterror | you can try it first from grub | 17:04 |
___Dice-Man___ | kanliot: ping ? | 17:18 |
IboS | kanliot: hey | 18:08 |
IboS | kanliot: i've read your message can be more precise about this special config of conky in lubuntu ? | 18:09 |
pmatulis | i don't get thumbnails showing up in the file manager (pcmanfm) for .MOV files. anybody have a clue? using 12.10 if it matters | 20:13 |
wxl | pmatulis: know where i can find one? | 20:13 |
pmatulis | wxl: find one what? | 20:14 |
wxl | a .mov | 20:14 |
pmatulis | wxl: sure, 'touch test.mov', no? | 20:14 |
wxl | not sure that will work | 20:14 |
wxl | might read headers, metadata, etc. to determine thumbnails | 20:14 |
pmatulis | ha, prolly. dunno then. maybe google and d/l a small one | 20:15 |
pmatulis | let me check | 20:15 |
wxl | pmatulis: and when you say thumbnails you mean that it appears as a video file or thumbnails meaning it appears as a screenshot? | 20:17 |
wxl | (to be clear) | 20:17 |
bioterror | probably becouse of filesize | 20:19 |
bioterror | grow the thumbnail filesize for local files | 20:19 |
wxl | cuz i do see a video-specific thumbnail | 20:19 |
wxl | s/thumbnail/icon/ | 20:19 |
pmatulis | bioterror: i have a 600 kB file but it does not show | 20:20 |
wxl | pmatulis: you still haven't answered my question | 20:20 |
pibarnas | have you checked tumbler? | 20:21 |
pmatulis | wxl: getting there. it shows a generic icon (roll of video film) | 20:21 |
wxl | pmatulis: and that's not what you want? | 20:21 |
pmatulis | wxl: but it plays (in vlc) | 20:21 |
wxl | it appears on my end that's all you get :) | 20:21 |
pmatulis | wxl: well in straight ubuntu i got a thumbnail. first frame? | 20:22 |
wxl | lubuntu != ubuntu | 20:22 |
wxl | pcmanfm != nautilus | 20:22 |
wxl | need i go on? | 20:22 |
pmatulis | wxl: really? wow. lubuntu is not ubuntu? | 20:22 |
pmatulis | wxl: i'd rather have a more technical reason | 20:22 |
pmatulis | wxl: if you would oblige | 20:23 |
pmatulis | wxl: and it's logical. how does one choose what video to play? | 20:23 |
wxl | well, #1 you need to realize that what you want to have or what you think should be isn't necessarily what is | 20:24 |
wxl | for example, many people think lubuntu's choice of mail client is atrocious | 20:24 |
pmatulis | wxl: yeah i zap that thing pretty quick | 20:25 |
wxl | i don't know that video thumbnailing is supported to be frank | 20:28 |
pmatulis | if not having a directory full of identical icons and nonsensical filenames is considered a feature request then if we had a technical reason maybe it can be brought in eventually | 20:28 |
pmatulis | wxl: but thanks for confirming that there is nothing borked on my end | 20:29 |
wxl | yeps | 20:29 |
wxl | there's little things missing here and there | 20:30 |
wxl | a bug report will go a long way in ensuring that we get them all taken care of | 20:30 |
pmatulis | wxl: will submit | 20:30 |
wxl | file it against pcmanfm if not obvious | 20:30 |
wxl | i'll confirm it | 20:30 |
pmatulis | k | 20:30 |
Unit193 | wxl: Main tracker is on SF.net. | 20:31 |
wxl | true enough, i'll take care of sticking upstream on there, Unit193 | 20:31 |
wxl | or erp | 20:31 |
wxl | good point, yeah both would be good… | 20:32 |

pmatulis | wow, i hate the fact that you can open 2 firefox windows but they both close when you shut one down | 23:17 |
redderhs | pmatulis: that doesn't happen to me.. | 23:21 |
pmatulis | redderhs: what release? | 23:21 |
redderhs | 15.01: mozilla firefox for ubuntu canoncial - 1.0 | 23:22 |
pmatulis | redderhs: i mean lubuntu release | 23:22 |
redderhs | 12.04 | 23:22 |
redderhs | x64 | 23:22 |
pmatulis | redderhs: k, 12.10 here. i wonder if i should open a bug | 23:23 |
pmatulis | it's definitly a bad thing | 23:23 |
redderhs | use 12.04 its the long term support.. | 23:24 |
pmatulis | so? | 23:24 |
redderhs | for the most part the build is very stable and i have very little to complain about | 23:24 |
pmatulis | lts on the destkop is retarted IMO | 23:24 |
pmatulis | in the enterprise it makes sense | 23:25 |
redderhs | think of it as stable and svn | 23:26 |
jude0 | Any idea why running xinit with sudo blows up user's home directory requiring re-chmod/grp ing to fix? Has anyone else tried sudo xinit to a remote x server and had issues? I was connecting to a raspberry pi originally but it also seemed not to work to other linux systems. Bug? | 23:26 |
pmatulis | redderhs: what is svn again? | 23:26 |
jude0 | subversion | 23:26 |
pmatulis | redderhs: so how does that relate to LTS again? | 23:27 |
redderhs | subversion | 23:28 |
redderhs | thats the way i see it | 23:28 |
redderhs | lts is stable usually | 23:28 |
jude0 | @pmatulis if you are talking to me, i have not had issues with xinit on other debians | 23:28 |
pmatulis | redderhs: how does subversion releate to an LTS release? | 23:28 |
redderhs | its my own personal opinion. | 23:29 |
pmatulis | redderhs: alrigthy | 23:31 |
