[00:11] <Steel_> I'm running lubuntu on a laptop, and cannot get my synaptics touchpad to work.  The mouse function, and both buttons work fine I just can't get the mouse clicks with the touchpad to work.
[00:59] <Haswell> what benefits are cut in lubuntu, comparing with ubuntu?
[04:57] <Loder> Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me improve performance in flash games on my Lubuntu system.
[04:58] <Loder> Or perhaps to let me know if smooth performance is even possible with my specs: http://pastehtml.com/view/cimhfjwaz.html
[04:59] <Loder> If anyone sees my question, I should be back within 15 minutes of the time of this message. I appreciate the help if anyone is able to offer any advice.
[05:01] <holstein> Loder: it'll be all about the graphics driver i say.. try the proprietary one if you havent
[05:09] <Loder> Holsetin, I have it installed already unfortunately
[05:10] <holstein> Loder: i would try others.. the the latest from nvidia... try old ones.. try nv ... try vesa
[05:10] <holstein> Loder: that is likely the issue, as the specs should be fine
[05:10] <Loder> Alright, well the one I have was just from the additional drivers window
[05:10] <Loder> I'll see if I can get something from nvidia's website
[05:12] <Loder> Also, youtube videos at 360p are sometimes smooth except for slight choppiness, but others are unwatchable
[05:13] <holstein> or ppa... i think you can add a ppa easy enough for updated drivers
[05:13] <holstein> Loder: i have had the same issues... just depends on the driver support
[05:14] <Loder> Sorry, ppa?
[05:14] <Loder> New to linux
[05:14] <holstein> !ppa
[05:15] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/104527/how-do-i-install-the-latest-nvidia-drivers-via-the-additional-drivers-tool
[05:15] <Loder> Okay, so start with the driver and then look into PPAs if necessary?
[05:15] <holstein> i would read about packages... see that you understand how to purge that ppa.. and remove xorg.conf files.. how to use the recover console
[05:16] <holstein> !tty
[05:16] <holstein> asssuming you boot and need to do some work
[05:17] <Loder> Haha, "Purge" it?
[05:17] <Loder> I feel like such a newbie
[05:17] <holstein> Loder: the link i gave lists purge info
[05:17] <Loder> You wouldn't say that I"m an a+ certified professional with a lot of experience with windows
[05:17] <Loder> K
[05:18] <holstein> sure.. you can make your system not boot
[05:18] <holstein> Loder: i used to just reinstall.. test.. break... reinstall
[05:18] <holstein> Loder: it installs so fast, that doest bother me
[05:19] <Loder> Ah I see
[05:22] <Loder> Ubuntu and its derivatives seem very user-friendly after everything is up and running, but getting to that point seems to require some assistance from a tech-savvy individual
[05:23] <Loder> Although newer systems seem to be pretty easy so far; Ubuntu 12.10 installed and runs perfectly on both of my newer systems
[05:26] <Loder> Brb, rebooting
[05:26] <holstein> well, nvidia could help.. they could provide you with a driver, and it could be included and work out of the box.. as most intel hardware does
[13:53] <Neverminder> hello... just to ask, how to save xrandr new mode, make it permanent?
[14:07] <Neverminder> anyone?

[18:03] <netr> [lubuntu 12.10] when i change in ligthdm config file background image, the login screen is black. Only changing background to some color (#68448 etc) works. Lubuntu is great distro, but this is very strange that it is impossible to change login image (because the default one is ugly and 12.04 is beautiful and i want to use 12.04 login screen). Any ideas?
[18:04] <netr> even when i swap lubuntu-default-wallpaper.png (which is used by lightdm by default) to other image i get black login screen....
[18:04] <netr> thats strange, i need help because i have no idea
[18:16] <ewan_> hello
[18:17] <ewan_> hi
[18:18] <JohnDoe_71Rus> hi
[18:19] <ewan_> on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse it describes how to disable tap to click, but being a noob I don't really get where you input these commands, anyone any ideas
[18:19] <ewan_> ?
[18:21] <JohnDoe_71Rus> ewan_: the terminal
[18:22] <ewan_> staright into a terminal, don't need to open a config file.....so if I enter '@synclient MaxTapTime=0' into the terminal it will turn of tap to click permanently or just for that session?
[18:24] <JohnDoe_71Rus> permanently from file. For session in terminal.
[18:25] <ewan_> so how do i enter it into a file because I have been using gpointingsettings to change it every session?
[18:29] <JohnDoe_71Rus> ewan_: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/synclient.1.html think permanently. You can try, change option then relogon
[20:51] <K350> What types of themes goes for lubuntu 12.10 ? And where  shoul dI put themes?
[21:54] <Techman> Anyone here experienced with the lubuntu-desktop package?
[21:58] <Techman> can someone help me with my Lubuntu clock applet?
[22:30] <DGMurdockIII> say 1 if i shold ditch windows for this os and never look back
[23:52] <semitones> Does installing libreoffice slow down lubuntu when it's not running?
[23:54] <Techman> semitones, I don't know
[23:54] <Techman> I do know, however,
[23:54] <Techman> LibreOffice is heavier. Which is probably why it is not included by default in Lubuntu
[23:55] <Techman> If LibreOffice is not running, local cache could still be running on your system (normal application cache)
[23:56] <Techman> semitones, does that help you any?
[23:57] <semitones> I'm not sure I understand
[23:58] <semitones> heavier meaning it weighs more megabytes to include on cd? or increases the base memory used?
