| pmatulis | Wowzers! i just discovered that I have both pcmanfm and nautilus installed. did i drag that in manually or is this the default? | 01:41 |
|---|---|---|
| hash__ | ok so im having trouble installing lubuntu thru the gui install is there a way that i can install thru termainal | 01:43 |
| pmatulis | hash__: there should be an alternate cd | 01:47 |
| hash__ | idk it was the torrent from the lubuntu site | 01:48 |
| pmatulis | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Alternate_ISO | 01:49 |
| hash__ | ah i found the alternate iso | 01:49 |
| hash__ | thanks | 01:49 |
| pmatulis | hash__: yw | 01:49 |
| phiscribe | you dragged nautilus in pmatulis | 01:49 |
| pmatulis | phiscribe: ok, need to find how... | 01:50 |
| pmatulis | dunno, i just removed it and nothing else was impacted. strange | 01:58 |
| pmatulis | k, finally got this one in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1066432 | 02:15 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1066432 in firefox (Ubuntu) "[Lubuntu 12.10] Multiple instances of Firefox are closed if just one is closed" [Undecided,New] | 02:15 |
| kanliot | pmatulis, you should file that bug upstream | 02:19 |
| kanliot | firefox has a nice bug tracker | 02:19 |
| kanliot | and chromium behaves the same way | 02:20 |
| kanliot | which raises a question | 02:20 |
| pmatulis | kanliot: it doesn't happen in ubuntu so i figured it was lubuntu-centric | 02:22 |
| kanliot | i didn't know that | 02:22 |

| Random833 | Will the cpufreq panel applet be fixed in 12.10? | 05:37 |
| Random833 | [I have a kludged fix that just calls system("gksudo cpufreq-set...), if it's not] | 05:38 |
| kanliot | please report the bug | 06:26 |
| Random833 | well, I assumed it had already been reported, since there are posts on forums for like forever | 06:35 |
| Random833 | but ok | 06:35 |
| wxl | Random833: forums != Launchpad | 06:35 |
| Random833 | ok, i reported the bug | 06:42 |
| wxl | thank you | 06:42 |
| Random833 | but just so you know, the _reason_ I asked "is it fixed in 12.10" was so I don't make an idiot of myself by reporting a bug that's already fixed | 06:43 |
| Random833 | so it's on you if it is | 06:43 |
| wxl | i ask you who the bigger idiot is: | 06:44 |
| wxl | 1. the guy that reports a bug that's already reported | 06:44 |
| wxl | 2. the guy that doesn't report a bug because he assumes it's already reported | 06:44 |
| wxl | as a general rule, i say report the bug | 06:44 |
| wxl | it will get duped when triaged and no one will create a fuss | 06:45 |
| tweak-daddy | I have the Lubuntu OS with LXDE installed, which has two apparently identical desktops by default. If possible, I would like to have two different desktop designs. If that is possible, where can I find instructions on getting some different themes and altering one of these desktops? | 13:16 |
| tweak-daddy | and when I say altering the desktops, I mean simply changing the wallpaper and existing window colors or styles, not adding new elements. | 13:17 |
| PN1 | hi, i've uploaded a new media player to Ubunto Software Center 2 day ago but my status is panding review. | 13:41 |
| PN1 | anyone knows what is it taking so long? | 13:42 |
| head_victim | PN1: I assume you've followed the instructions - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Submissions | 13:50 |
| head_victim | PN1: and if you're still not sure of the process https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard has a good list of how to contact the relevant people if you have any concerns or questions. | 13:53 |
| PN1 | head_victim: I followed the instruction. I uploaded without the source code, maybe that's the problem? | 13:53 |

| tweak-daddy | what is the difference between "mark for removal" and "mark for complete removal" in Synaptic? | 14:34 |
| tweak-daddy | does the former just uninstall it from loading into the OS but leave it on disk so that one can reinstall it if the effect is undesirable? | 14:36 |
| tweak-daddy | appears as if i can gain a lot of space by uninstalling all these Thai and Punjabi fonts. | 14:37 |
| tweak-daddy | I think it unlikely that I should need them anytime soon. Doubtful that I should come across a Punjabi woman in the forseeable future. | 14:39 |
| head_victim | tweak-daddy: I believe complete removal also removes any configurations and saved files associated with the program. | 14:51 |
| head_victim | Double check that, but I think that's the difference. | 14:52 |
| tweak-daddy | well that makes sense, head_victim. no need for the config files, i suppose, and removing them adds a bit more space too. | 15:00 |

| GuyFawkes | Hey guys | 16:06 |
| GuyFawkes | Why would Minecraft not be working? | 16:06 |
| GuyFawkes | It's giving an error about LWJGL | 16:06 |
| GuyFawkes | Jussi | 16:11 |
| GuyFawkes | Can you help me with getting Minecraft working? | 16:11 |
| tweak-daddy | i wonder whether there is any advisory-like program for analysing the Lubuntu OS installation in terms of its security, which would then make suggestions for improving the settings or configuration? | 16:12 |
| tweak-daddy | i am reading an Ubuntu document stating that the default firewall program is ufw, which is disabled initially. Since I do want a firewall on this PC, I am going to enable it. Will it alert me when connection attempts are made so that I can set up the rules ad hoc, or would I be required to set them up proactively for the specific set of rules I want? | 17:45 |
| tweak-daddy | did all of that text make it through or where did it cut off if not? | 17:47 |
| Unit193 | tweak-daddy: It made it, if you ended with "proactively for the specific set of rules I want?" | 17:54 |
| Unit193 | !ufw | 17:54 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 17:54 |
| Unit193 | There is also gufw, pretty sure at least. | 17:54 |
| tweak-daddy | yes, it ended there, Unit193. thanks. | 18:05 |
| Unit193 | I'd try the links, I've only used iptables rather than UFW. | 18:06 |
| tweak-daddy | i will look at the links. there is a gufw program too. i'm looking at syntax and procedures of both. | 18:07 |
| Unit193 | (Well, used it once, but it was very little) | 18:08 |
| tweak-daddy | so you set up the ip tables. the first link in fact was the document I was looking at, but i am still wondering about the alerts though. | 18:10 |
| Unit193 | There is a log file. | 18:10 |
| tweak-daddy | i'll have to dig a little deeper with a link on that page too to get my little answer now. | 18:11 |
| tweak-daddy | yes, i was looking at the documentation about the logging capabilities, which are pretty much indespensible. there appears to be a program called nulog, which provides a web interface to netfilter logs. i am going to take a look at that. have you used it or something else if not? | 18:17 |
| Unit193 | I tail a few logs , and remember that grep is my friend. Log files in /var/log/ | 18:18 |
| polix | Hi there, I got a quection: why is Firefox not standard browser on Lubuntu? | 19:33 |
| polix | hi WildTux | 19:42 |
| bennypr0fane | Hello, I have it seems a problem with my fstab. I have a data partition mounted in fstab but it seems I cannot write downloads to it. Dropbox is on that partition and it does sync | 23:30 |
| bennypr0fane | here's my fstab: http://pastebin.com/vhPCmSsi | 23:31 |
| bennypr0fane | and blkid: http://pastebin.com/uF5t7Yey | 23:33 |
| bennypr0fane | ...the reason I suspect there is a problem in fstab is that I get a permission denied error for the downloads | 23:36 |
| bennypr0fane | also, I can't copy local files to that partition. but then how is Dropbox granted permission? | 23:38 |
| holstein | !chown | bennypr0fane | 23:44 |
| ubottu | bennypr0fane: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 23:44 |
| holstein | i have usually just mounted things to a directory and chowned... im sure there is a better way... i have done this both manually and with fstab | 23:45 |
| holstein | looks like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Automatic_Mount_At_Boot iirc | 23:47 |
| bennypr0fane | holstein: if my user owns this partition with read/write permissions, it should work, right? | 23:47 |
| bennypr0fane | how do you explain that Dropbox can write to it | 23:47 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: it should, im not convinced either dropbox can | 23:48 |
| holstein | i would just keep troubleshooting and it literally wont hurt to try mounting it to a directory with the expected permissions | 23:48 |
| holstein | could be that the dropbox directory got chowned during installl somehow.. i remember it asking for a password for something "admistrative" | 23:49 |
| bennypr0fane | Dropbox *can* write to it on my computer, otherwise it would give an error msg "folder not found", which it does on other distros where I was trying to put Dropbox on a partition not mounted in fstab | 23:51 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: we dont need to split hairs.. we an just stick to the facts... you dont have right permissions on something and chown is a good place to start | 23:51 |
| bennypr0fane | I wasn't asked for a pwd during install | 23:52 |
| bennypr0fane | ok | 23:52 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i have been... i could be remembering an older installer... or mis-remembering | 23:52 |
| bennypr0fane | but my point is if I already own the partition, there's not much else I can do about it, is there? | 23:52 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i would just look at the directory and make sure it has the expected permissions... make sure you can write to it | 23:53 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: you can confirm the permissions... if you "own" it, and you cant write to it, i would start troubleshooting after confirming, and running a sudo chown command | 23:53 |
| bennypr0fane | how do I confirm the permissions? | 23:54 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i would just look.. even in a file manager.. but it wont hurt to chown it, following those commands i linked for adding a hard drive | 23:55 |
| bennypr0fane | I right-clicked in file manager, >properties>permissions: owner is my user, owner has read/write permission | 23:55 |
| bennypr0fane | ok | 23:55 |
| holstein | sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/mynewdrive for example | 23:55 |
| bennypr0fane | do you know what exaclty the -R argument means? | 23:57 |
| holstein | -R, --recursive operate on files and directories recursively | 23:57 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: thats from man chown ^^ | 23:57 |
| bennypr0fane | I've been meaning to find those man pages | 23:58 |
| bennypr0fane | they should all be on my system right? | 23:58 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions#Recursive_Permission_Changes | 23:58 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: you can type in a terminal... "man chown" | 23:58 |
| bennypr0fane | how do you look somnething up in man? | 23:58 |
| bennypr0fane | ok like I thought | 23:59 |
| bennypr0fane | last time I did that it went wrnog though | 23:59 |
| bennypr0fane | I wanted to look up the man for rename | 23:59 |
| holstein | it?... its a terminal. as normal user.. it can only go so wrong | 23:59 |
| bennypr0fane | and typed "man rename" | 23:59 |
