[02:09] <square> howdy
[02:09] <square> I'm at the lubuntu login screen and I can move the cursor up and down but it won't go left or right
[02:27] <square> any ideas?
[02:36] <phiscribe> is it a usb mouse?
[02:38] <phiscribe> and do you have dual monitors?
[02:43] <square> yes to both
[02:46] <phiscribe> did you mange to logon anyway? (maybe using tab)
[02:54] <square> phiscribe the password box is already focused so i can log in
[02:54] <square> but even after i log in i can't move the mouse to the right. its just stuck on the left hand side
[02:55] <square> its not detecting my second display it seems
[02:57] <square> if i right click the menu shows up on the other side of the screen
[02:59] <phiscribe> i have heard of issues where the mouse seems to get "stuck" in that empty void of the second monitor.
[03:00] <square> well i only have one display connected now and its still doing it
[03:00] <phiscribe> does hitting ctrl+ g help any?
[03:01] <square> that does nothing
[03:02] <square> ok, i only have one monitor hooked up but it still showing the wrong screen
[03:02] <phiscribe> did you restart x?
[03:03] <square> if i go to the very top left corner and click it shows me my main desktop (with my dock and everything) with the logout menu
[03:03] <square> how would i do that from this state?
[03:04] <square> oh, i got in console mode, lemme try
[03:04] <phiscribe> man im not sure in lubuntu.  not sure it would keep your session anyway.  but just unhooking the monitor trigger anything.  it has to be unhooked when x loads
[03:04] <square> i restarted after i unhooked it
[03:06] <phiscribe> im stumped than.
[03:06] <phiscribe> then
[03:07] <square> hrmmm
[03:07] <square> I'm not sure what i did :P
[03:07] <phiscribe> all i can think off next is a ps2 mouse if you have the hole.  or putting usbmouse=off to the end of the kernel command at boot
[03:07] <square> i'll just reinstall and start over
[03:07] <square> no hole
[03:09] <square> i've been wanting to try something else anyway
[03:10] <akls> square, install arandr and try to change your settings?
[03:10] <akls> square, and if it doesn't work
[03:11] <akls> square, install xautomation and try to run xte "mousemove 10 10" in terminal
[03:11] <akls> square, this is going to move your mouse
[03:11] <akls> if it did move - then it's a problem with your mouse
[03:11] <square> allright, lemme try
[03:12] <akls> ctrl+alt+t to open the terminal
[03:13] <akls> phiscribe, do you know what happened to the fonts in 12.10? Is it another font or just another font size? Or is it the same font with antialiasing?
[03:14] <square> allright
[03:14] <square> the cursor disappeared for a sec its still stuck on the left
[03:15] <square> though i have an idea
[03:15] <square> well, i used arandr to change the resolution from something silly (3000x1050) to something else
[03:16] <square> its still trying to use a second display
[03:16] <akls> wtf
[03:16] <square> i really f'd something up :P
[03:16] <akls> square, man, I don't know how to help ya
[03:17] <square> well now that i changed the resolution i can move the mouse normal
[03:17] <square> so, i can fix it i hope :P
[03:17] <akls> oh you can move you rmouse
[03:17] <akls> your*
[03:17] <square> i can't seem to get it to my native resolution now
[03:18] <square> i need 1680x1050, the top options are 1600x1024 and 3360x1050
[03:18] <akls> by the way, to set up dual screen you'd have to save the config in arandr to a file and then run this script each boot by adding a line with the script path to /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart
[03:18] <akls> screens*
[03:18] <square> i don't plan on using 2 displays anymore so its not an issue
[03:19] <akls> oh, ok
[03:19] <akls> square, yea, sometimes these options are fucked up
[03:20] <akls> square, maybe you'd have to force it somehow
[03:24] <akls> square, here's a thread about adding new modes http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1112186
[03:24] <akls> a bit outdated maybe
[03:24] <akls> but should be ok
[03:25] <square> i got it actually
[03:25] <square> thanks
[03:25] <square> but i have another weird issue now :P
[03:25] <akls> here's another one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1984990
[03:25] <akls> square, which one? :D
[03:26] <square> whenever i click and drag on the desktop it acts like its moving files (though there are no files on the desktop) instead of selecting
[03:26] <akls> my weirdest issue is that my eyes are going to fall out because of the new artwork : D
[03:26] <square> in folders i can drag and select multiple things just fine, but not on the desktop
[03:27] <akls> HAHAHA
[03:27] <akls> found a bug
[03:27] <square> i've got a ton of updates to install, i have not been able to use this partition in months
[03:27] <akls> thanks XDDD
[03:27] <square> so maybe that will fix stuff
[03:27] <akls> maybe
[03:27] <akls> but lol
[03:28] <akls> if you start selecting files on the desktop
[03:28] <akls> and then MIDDLE CLICK
[03:28] <akls> then selection area is going to persist
[03:28] <akls> even if you unclick
[03:29] <square> good find
[03:32] <akls> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236259/2012-10-25-063233_1280x800_scrot.png
[03:32] <akls> phahahhahahhahahahahahhahah
[03:34] <akls> FUCK the guy who made artwork
[03:34] <akls> really
[03:34] <Unit193> !language | akls
[03:34] <akls> know what? he has placed python icon instead of a folder icon
[03:35] <akls> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236259/2012-10-25-063511_428x229_scrot.png
[03:35] <akls> could be kupfer problem, but in 12.04 it was working fine
[03:36] <Unit193> Did you file a bugreport?
[03:36] <akls> just noticed it
[03:38] <holstein> whats the issue?
[03:43] <akls> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-artwork/+bug/1071119
[03:48] <square> so how do i update to 12.10?
[03:49] <akls> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/1071121
[03:53] <akls> square, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:54] <Unit193> square: You can either use the update manager, or in the terminal:  do-release-upgrade
[03:54] <square> i found it
[03:54] <square> thanks guys
[03:55] <square> i had to set it to find any new version instead of long term versions
[03:56] <Users> best do a backup before upgrade
[03:56] <TheLordOfTime> akls, apt-get dist-upgrade does not upgrade the release, by the way.
[03:58] <akls> oh
[03:59] <akls> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1071123
[03:59] <akls> is it a day of reporting bugs for me?
[04:01] <akls> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236259/2012-10-25-070149_78x97_scrot.png
[04:02] <akls> hahahahhaha
[04:02] <akls> should I report a bug saying that nurse hat icon is wrong for adding a new tab? :D
[04:02] <akls> or is it a grave
[04:03] <Unit193> I think you should just find another theme you like.
[04:04] <akls> maybe
[04:05] <akls> or maybe people should stop doing silly things
[04:05] <akls> at least it gave me a smile :)
[04:06] <holstein> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71236259/2012-10-25-070149_78x97_scrot.png doesnt go anywhere for me
[04:06] <akls> holstein, yep
[04:06] <akls> holstein, dropbox is down
[04:07] <akls> https://www.dropbox.com/
[04:07] <akls> it's a first time I see it down :O
[04:08] <holstein> i usually just use http://imagebin.org/ for that kind of thing anyways
[04:08] <holstein> whats the issue?
[04:08] <holstein> you dont like an icon? you think an icon is "silly" ?
[04:09] <akls> holstein, i have a script that takes a screenshot of a part of my screen and then gets it to dropbox and copies the link to the clipboard
[04:09] <akls> so all I have to do is simply select an area on the screen and then paste the link :)
[04:09] <holstein> thats handy, when dropbox is up...
[04:10] <akls> haha :D
[04:10] <akls> well, really, it's a big surprise for me that it's down
[04:10] <akls> ok, now it's back up
[04:10] <akls> :)
[04:11] <holstein> thats a "+"... for add..
[04:11] <akls> + is a +
[04:11] <akls> but this is a grave
[04:12] <Unit193> No, I again recommend you find a theme you don't already dislike.
[04:12] <holstein> a grave?
[04:12] <holstein> akls: it seems pretty clear to me... "add" for a + sign.. you dont have to like it though... you want to look into some different themes?
[04:13] <akls> holstein, probably. how can I get 12.04 theme?
[04:13] <akls> is installing lubuntu-artwork-12.04 going to work?
[04:13] <holstein> 12.04 is the lts.. maybe you just prefer running it
[04:14] <jmarsden> There is no Lubuntu LTS...
[04:14] <holstein> well, the ubuntu is
[04:14] <jmarsden> YEs, but not Lubuntu.
[04:14] <holstein> the kernel will be, and the packages that are gtk and included by default
[04:15] <jmarsden> Agreed, but lubuntu-artwork-12.04 is not an LTS package -- and that is the one you were discussing, as far as I can see.
[04:15] <holstein> anyways, i would probably load up the 12.04 live cd and "grab" it from there
[04:17] <holstein> lubuntu-artwork-12-04 ?
[04:17] <akls> http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1152/sam0081q.jpg if that looks like an "add" icon...
[04:17] <holstein> akls: you can try that if its available for you in 12.10... sudo apt-get instlal lubuntu-artwork-12-04
[04:17] <akls> holstein, yep, it is
[04:18] <akls> reboot now? or should I tweak something somewhere?
[04:18] <holstein> akls: thats not the first thing that comes to my mind, since im not looking for the "tombstone" option.. im looking for "add" and it resembles both of those things... though one is "add" and the other is a "cross"
[04:18] <holstein> akls: i would look at the theme settings
[04:20] <holstein> if we were talking about 2 commands, one being "cross" and the other "add" and there were subtle different icons, that would be an issue.. otherwise, you can just not like the icon..
[04:21] <akls> holstein, theme settings? "Customize look and feel"? There's nothing there
[04:22] <holstein> it should be similar to this http://maketecheasier.com/theme-up-lubuntu/2011/02/11
[04:27] <akls> ok gonna try it tomorrow
[04:27] <akls> thanks1
[04:28] <akls> ! :)
[07:08] <zruty> Does lubuntu have a USB boot disk creator?
[07:13] <jmarsden> zruty: There is a forum post that might be helpful about this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1872303
[07:15] <zruty> jmarsden: Ah, cool. Basically just use the USB as a HDD
[07:15] <zruty> Thanks!
[07:16] <jmarsden> zruty: You're welcome.

[12:52] <nannes> hey

[12:53] <nannes> It doesn't start   D: D: D:     :'(

[14:07] <fluitfries> hey, what are you all using for a log file viewer?  all i see is gnome and kde ones, and i'm hesitant to install with a lot of dependencies.  :(
[14:16] <fluitfries> woops, gnome sys log app has no dependencies, sry.
[14:24] <holstein> fluitfries: to view a log file? might just use a text reader... nano even
[14:28] <fluitfries> holstein, i was, but i need to get into the archived logs
[14:28] <fluitfries> that's ok, the gnome one is good, i just thought i needed more deps.
[14:29] <fluitfries> the error i'm trying to catch is on creating a tar.gz of a 80 gig directory on an hfs+ usb volume :P
[14:29] <holstein> fluitfries: i would just install the gnome one
[14:29] <fluitfries> i've archived all the other data, 40 gig folders, 20 gig files, etc...  just this one directory pops generic error
[14:30] <fluitfries> but this time i am trying just .tar
[17:21] <razvan> hy there

[18:27] <shiman6> hello. I'm running lubuntu 12.10, and for some reason the Users and Groups dialogue wont let me change the full name of the user
