| Siegel- | hello. i have ubuntu 12.04 installed but i downloaded and am using the lubuntu DE | 11:34 |
| Siegel- | i wanna reinstall only lubuntu on my computer. how do i do that | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | xcompmgr is the nuts :D | 11:50 |
| varikonniemi | hello | 14:16 |
| varikonniemi | i am a bit confused, the page here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu says lubuntu has no 12.10 alternate installer' | 14:16 |
| varikonniemi | yet i just downloaded the alternate installer and was going to install | 14:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | did you download it for 12.10, or 12.04? | 14:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | (check numbers) | 14:20 |

| dyd | how can i enable remote desktop on lubuntu? vino seems bugged. i keep getting connection refused as i try to connect | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | dyd: can you ping the server side from the client? | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | dyd: what are you intending to use VNC for? What are you planning to do on the remote system? There may be a sleeker solution | 15:02 |
| dyd | ActionParsnip, i did it, now it works | 15:03 |
| dyd | have a nice weekend | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | I hate vnc | 15:04 |
| holstein | i usually try connecting locally.. localhost.. then i make sure the boxes can ping each other.. then i might take down firewalls if im on my home network (to troubleshoot) | 15:10 |
| martino1 | Hi. I'm using Lubuntu , and in lxpanel I installed the "indicator-messages" to have messaging controls always in the panel..... BUT it seems not to work with pidgin .. icons remains inactive (grey) | 15:19 |
| martino1 | ops typing error | 15:20 |
| martino1 | Hi. I'm using Lubuntu , and in lxpanel I installed the "indicator-messages" and "indicator-messages-gtk2" to have messaging controls always in view..... BUT it seems not to work with pidgin .. icon remains inactive (grey) | 15:20 |
| martino1 | What can I do? | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | martino1: same in all icon themes? | 15:29 |
| martino1 | yes | 15:30 |
| martino1 | it's not really about the color | 15:30 |
| martino1 | but it's not in communication with pidgon | 15:30 |
| martino1 | that's annoying | 15:30 |
| martino1 | it was a bug in gnome2 too | 15:30 |
| martino1 | but I think it had been fixed (or not?) | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | martino1: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 15:31 |
| martino1 | precise | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !info pidgin precise | 15:33 |
| ubottu | pidgin (source: pidgin): graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.10.3-0ubuntu1.1 (precise), package size 675 kB, installed size 2152 kB | 15:33 |
| ActionParsnip | martino1: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:33 |
| martino1 | you say? | 15:34 |
| martino1 | hmm I'm chatting with it now | 15:34 |
| martino1 | you say they fixed it in newer versions? | 15:34 |
| martino1 | I think it's about indicator's source | 15:34 |
| martino1 | not pidgin's | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | martino1: then I suggest you report a bug | 15:35 |
| martino1 | uff it has already been reported I swear | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | martino1: please don't ask the same in 2 channels, it will fragment the support | 15:35 |
| martino1 | I remember it | 15:35 |
| martino1 | ActionParsnip: in the other, a user is trying too, to check whether it's just me or not | 15:36 |
| Habermas | Is lubuntu an autonomous OS or just the same ubuntu with a different graphic interface? | 17:46 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | The objective of the Lubuntu project is to create a variant of Ubuntu that is lighter, less resource hungry and more energy-efficient by using lightweight applications and LXDE, The Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, as its default GUI. | 17:48 |

| Guest79754 | wie installiere ich eine bin-datei? | 18:36 |
| Guest79754 | AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_deu.bin | 18:36 |
| wxl | !de | 18:37 |
| ubottu | In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! | 18:37 |
| Guest79754 | are you english? | 18:37 |
| wxl | indeed | 18:37 |
| Guest79754 | oh ok | 18:37 |
| Guest79754 | how can I install a bin file? | 18:37 |
| Guest79754 | AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_deu.bin | 18:38 |
| Guest79754 | adobe reader | 18:38 |
| wxl | Guest79754: first, if i may, why do youw ant adobe reader? there are other pdf viewers that are open source/easier to maintain and upgrade | 18:39 |
| Guest79754 | adobe has better qualiy I think | 18:39 |
| wxl | don't know i agree with you there, but i won't argue the point | 18:39 |
| wxl | i'd suggest checking out evince if you haven't already— it's installed by default | 18:40 |
| wxl | anyways the .bin should be an executable | 18:40 |
| wxl | but it's not executable | 18:40 |
| wxl | or may not be i mean | 18:40 |
| Guest79754 | no, I just have document viewer, and it doesnt please me :D | 18:40 |
| wxl | change permissions with chmod +x <filename> | 18:40 |
| wxl | then if you're in the directory it's in, run ./<filename> | 18:41 |
| wxl | and then it's up to you to maintain it | 18:41 |
| wxl | regular software updates through synaptic or whatever will nto update it | 18:41 |
| wxl | this is why .bins are no fun | 18:41 |
| wxl | wait | 18:41 |
| wxl | what version of lubuntu are you on? | 18:41 |
| Guest79754 | the newest | 18:42 |
| wxl | 12.10? | 18:42 |
| Guest79754 | yup | 18:42 |
| wxl | well then that's all you got | 18:42 |
| wxl | there is a partner repo with the acroread package in it for 12.04 | 18:42 |
| wxl | there likely will be one cretaed for 12.10 | 18:42 |
| wxl | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding_Canonical_Partner_Repositories | 18:43 |
| Guest79754 | ok, thanks, it works :) | 18:44 |
| Guest79754 | but I accidently installed it in the download directory :D | 18:44 |
| wxl | yyou can always move it | 18:44 |
| wxl | might try moving it to ~/bin | 18:45 |
| Guest79754 | not to opt? | 18:45 |
| wxl | that works too | 18:45 |
| Guest79754 | how do I move and will it be still openable from the menue on bot-left? | 18:46 |
| Guest79754 | how can I deinstall? | 18:48 |
| Guest79754 | or move? | 18:49 |
| wxl | mv | 18:50 |
| wxl | for moving | 18:50 |
| wxl | rm for removing | 18:50 |
| wxl | not sure what you mean by bot-left | 18:50 |
| wxl | honestly i'm not sure what the script does and whther or not it adds a .desktop file | 18:50 |
| wxl | if it does it likely assumes wherever it is is in your path rather than calling the exact location | 18:50 |
| wxl | but you'd have to look at the .desktop file to see | 18:50 |
| wxl | long story short with .bin files, building from source, etc: you're on yuor own to figure it out | 18:51 |
| wxl | this is the value of packages | 18:51 |
| Guest79754 | bot= bottom | 18:51 |
| Guest79754 | in windows its called start menu, but I dont know the name in lubuntu | 18:52 |
| wxl | then what i said above applies | 18:52 |
| wxl | look for /usr/share/applications/<something>.desktop | 18:52 |
| wxl | where <something> is probably acroread | 18:52 |
| Guest79754 | ok | 18:52 |
| Habermas | can I get 4 workspaces instead of 2 on lubuntu? | 18:55 |
| wxl | Habermas: ya gotta remember how; hold | 18:56 |
| Habermas | good to know, thanks! | 18:56 |
| wxl | Habermas: Menu → Preferences → OpenBox Configuration Manager → Desktops tab → Number of Desktops | 18:57 |
| Habermas | thank you so much :) | 18:57 |
| wxl | np | 18:57 |
| Habermas | Theoretically is there any way to integrate the "close" "minimize" "maximize" buttons on the taskbar instead of having them on the programs interface and to have the taskbar on the upper part of the screen? Don't tell me how to do this, just tell me if it is possible :) | 19:05 |
| Habermas | damn stupid question, everything is possible with open source | 19:06 |
| pibarnas | Habermas: taskbar on the upper part: create new panel there and put it into that. | 19:06 |
| Habermas | sorry guys | 19:06 |
| Habermas | thanks :) | 19:06 |
| pibarnas | Habermas: close, maximize and minimize... just coding. | 19:07 |
| pibarnas | Habermas: but you do have these options already, clicking there. | 19:07 |
| monk_ | I installed Adobe reader, but somehow it doesnt work | 19:15 |
| monk_ | how was the name of the other program? | 19:15 |
| pibarnas | monk_: what one? | 19:16 |
| wxl | monk_: evince aka document viewer | 19:17 |
| monk_ | an alternative for ... | 19:17 |
| monk_ | yes | 19:17 |
| monk_ | thanks :) | 19:17 |
| pibarnas | pdfviwer | 19:19 |
| aptosid | ok... that crap ubuntu dosnt even let me boot in recoverymode... no chance to use apt-get... | 20:53 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | bad ubuntu! | 20:58 |

| Guest37419 | how can I use Java on Lubuntu 12.10? | 23:10 |
| wxl | !java | 23:11 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 23:11 |
| wxl | !make_coffee | 23:11 |
| wxl | darn. | 23:11 |
| Guest37419 | iced tea doesnt work | 23:14 |
| Guest37419 | just blank field | 23:14 |
| wxl | so don't use iced tea | 23:15 |
| Guest37419 | so whats an alternative web java plugin, that I can install? I am a beginner in linux, so I have not much experience with the terminal | 23:23 |
| wxl | you using icetea7 or 6? | 23:25 |

| Guest37419 | 1.7.0_07 | 23:33 |
| Guest37419 | java | 23:33 |
| wxl | what about chromium? | 23:33 |
| wxl | on what architecture? | 23:33 |
| wxl | and which site? | 23:33 |
| Guest37419 | I dont know | 23:34 |
| Guest37419 | standart chromium | 23:35 |
| Guest37419 | which was preinstalled | 23:35 |
| wxl | what architecture do you have? | 23:35 |
| Guest37419 | how do I check? | 23:35 |
| wxl | do this in xchat: /exec -o apt-cache policy chromium-browser | grep -i installed | 23:35 |
| Guest37419 | /exec -o apt-cache policy chromium-browser | grep -i installed | 23:36 |
| wxl | without the space. | 23:36 |
| Guest37419 | chromium-browser: | 23:36 |
| Guest37419 | Installiert: 22.0.1229.94~r161065-0ubuntu1 | 23:36 |

| Guest37419 | 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status | 23:36 |
| wxl | must have forgot the grep | 23:36 |
| Guest37419 | doesnt work | 23:37 |
| wxl | worked fine | 23:37 |
| wxl | so since i can't speak german, you can now do this: | 23:38 |
| wxl | 1. install pastebinit | 23:38 |
| wxl | 2. /exec -o cat /proc/cpuinfo | pastebinit | 23:38 |
| wxl | 3. tell me what site you're trying to test this on | 23:39 |
| Guest37419 | what is pastebinit? | 23:39 |
| wxl | command line pastebin client | 23:40 |
| monk_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1308453/ | 23:42 |
| monk_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1308455/ | 23:42 |
| monk_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1308457/ | 23:43 |
| wxl | um | 23:43 |
| wxl | only need one | 23:43 |
| monk_ | i dont understand it i type your command line and it gives this | 23:43 |
| wxl | strange | 23:44 |
| wxl | so how about 3? | 23:44 |
| monk_ | i clicked it 3 times :D | 23:44 |
| wxl | well that's why it's happening three times | 23:44 |
| monk_ | cause I wasnt sure if it was the right command | 23:44 |
| monk_ | so, it uploades my system info to this page? | 23:45 |
| wxl | your cpu info yes | 23:45 |
| monk_ | ok | 23:45 |
| monk_ | so with this information, you can tell me what java plugin I have to install? | 23:47 |
| wxl | you already installed the java environment and the plugin, right? | 23:47 |
| monk_ | yes | 23:48 |
| wxl | so then you need to answer my third question | 23:48 |
| monk_ | but its just white field on every applet | 23:48 |
| monk_ | for example runescape.com | 23:49 |
| wxl | i'm going to test this myseld | 23:49 |
| wxl | f | 23:49 |
| monk_ | or http://www.knuddels.de/ | 23:50 |
| monk_ | its a chat page | 23:50 |
| wxl | with openjdk-7-jre icedtea-7-plugin | 23:50 |
| monk_ | with java | 23:50 |
| wxl | do i need to have an account for runescape's java to work? | 23:51 |
| wxl | trying to figure out at which point i need to decide it's working | 23:52 |
| wxl | looks like i do | 23:52 |
| monk_ | I think the login screen is already in java | 23:52 |
| wxl | then it works great | 23:52 |
| monk_ | but at me nothing happens | 23:52 |
| wxl | try https://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp | 23:52 |
| monk_ | do you use 32 or 64 bis icedtea? | 23:53 |
| wxl | 32 | 23:54 |
| monk_ | this java test site doesnt work either here | 23:56 |
| wxl | http://javatester.org/version.html works | 23:57 |
| wxl | i do see an exception on that java page | 23:58 |
| wxl | ironically | 23:58 |
| monk_ | ok, this works, but the other pages dont | 23:59 |
