| leszek | hi | 10:30 |
| Riccardone | hi all | 14:37 |
| dyd | i want to run a script when any usb device is plugged in. I added a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ named 90-local.rules that contains SUBSYSTEM=="usb", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/usbhook". I restarted udev, but if i plug any usb pen nothing happens. Why? | 14:38 |
| Riccardone | prova | 14:46 |
| ColdRush | I feel so leet using linux :D | 14:47 |
| ColdRush | Can someone upload their openbox lubuntu-rc.xml? I'm trying to figure out the proper way to write the commands for my back, forward, and refresh keys | 15:58 |
| Jef91 | Does Lubuntu 12.10 support non-PAE systems? | 16:00 |
| econdudeawesome | howdy all. I'm having trouble getting my laptop (12.04 I think) to use multiple monitors. The monitors are detected, but I am unable to have each screen be independent | 16:01 |
| holstein | Jef91: http://askubuntu.com/questions/182048/will-it-be-possible-to-use-a-non-pae-kernel-in-12-10 | 16:02 |
| holstein | econdudeawesome: i would try arandr ..i found with my ndivia card on my main audio production machine i needed the proprietary driver | 16:02 |
| econdudeawesome | holstein: arandr? I'm familiar with xrandr but arandr i've not heard of before? | 16:03 |
| Jef91 | So that is a no then holstein? | 16:03 |
| holstein | Jef91: AFAIK, that is a guide on how to get a non pae kernel in 12.10 | 16:04 |
| econdudeawesome | holstein: reading up on it now--thanks for the tip | 16:04 |
| holstein | Jef91: i havnet needed to do that first-hand yet, though i was told it worked, and i know its possible | 16:04 |
| Jef91 | Alrighty, I was miss informed. Someone told me 12.10 provides non-PAE kernels | 16:04 |
| Jef91 | (Lubuntu 12.10 that is) | 16:04 |
| holstein | Jef91: lubuntu is ubuntu | 16:04 |
| holstein | Jef91: there might be a non-pae kernel in the repos, but i dont think so. | 16:05 |
| Jef91 | I'm aware, as I said I was miss informed. Someone told me they built their own kernel to support non-PAE systems | 16:05 |
| tsimpson | there's probably a PPA with non-PAE kernels, but not part of the default install | 16:05 |
| holstein | http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html is for 12.04 | 16:06 |
| holstein | for a system like that, i would want to stick on 12.04 anyways... | 16:06 |
| tweakster | hi. I just installed firefox as the default browser in Lubuntu, including "gecko-mediaplayer" plugin. This plugin states that it is a Video Player plugin for Quicktime, Realplayer and Windows Media Player streams using MPlayer. To me this statement suggests that I can remove the other default plugins (namely, Quicktime, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player), which also installed with Firefox. I mean, there would seem little | 19:23 |
| holstein | tweakster: they might depend on each other | 19:32 |
| holstein | tweakster: is there a space concern?... with proprietary stuff like that, you might want to just leave it be if its working as you need it to | 19:32 |
| tsimpson | tweakster: I doubt you have any of those other plugins, if you look they should all be provided by that one plugin | 19:40 |
| elsie | hi there | 19:51 |
| === elsie is now known as lyyyy | ||
| lyyyy | hi there, quick question. I want to work in the terminal (tty) but the blink rate is annoyingly fast | 19:51 |
| lyyyy | how do I reduce the terminal blink rate? | 19:52 |
| holstein | http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3759/how-to-stop-cursor-from-blinking | 19:56 |
| holstein | http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=55798 | 19:56 |
| lyyyy | holstein the debian form one is unheklpful - mostly just someone complaining that it's hard to do! | 19:58 |
| holstein | lyyyy: ignore it then | 19:59 |
| lyyyy | holstein I'm just pointing out that I did look into it before I posted | 19:59 |
| lyyyy | looking at the stackexchange forum now | 19:59 |
| holstein | lyyyy: i thought it was relevant since it references the echo -e '\033[?17;0;127c' from the stackexchange link | 20:00 |
| holstein | its its not relevant to you.. its not | 20:00 |
| lyyyy | holstein unfortunately that just stops it blinking entirely | 20:01 |
| lyyyy | what I want is to reduce the rate | 20:01 |
| holstein | lyyyy: it says that | 20:01 |
| holstein | stopping is slower, plus i thought that might be "better", or "preffered" | 20:01 |
| lyyyy | I'm honestly amazed that there isn't some simply setting in .bashrc or something | 20:01 |
| lyyyy | haha | 20:02 |
| lyyyy | stopping is slower, true | 20:02 |
| jarnos | 12.04 is terrible, everything crashes now and then, even Abiword. | 20:40 |
| === len is now known as Guest79608 | ||
| holstein | jarnos: maybe its hardware support related.. 12.04 is quite stable for me | 20:45 |
| phiscribe | 12.04 work pretty good for me, im on 12.10 now | 20:49 |
| jarnos | Well, crashes of Abiword should not be hardware related. | 20:58 |
| holstein | jarnos: its not crashing here | 20:59 |
| holstein | jarnos: open a terminal, and launch it.. see if there is some helpful output | 20:59 |
| holstein | jarnos: system crashes and instability could be due to some hardware driver support issue with the kernel and your specific harware | 21:00 |
| holstein | OR, you have bad hardware.... or some corrupt files. or a bad install | 21:00 |
| dreambox | hey folks! I'm running Ubuntu (unity) and would like to get rid of it and install Lubuntu through apt-gets (no reinstalls etc..) | 21:38 |
| dreambox | any idea how? | 21:38 |
| dreambox | wouldn't like to keep unused packages.. hdd economy.. | 21:39 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 21:39 |
| bioterror | !purelxde | dreambox | 21:39 |
| ubottu | dreambox: If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » | 21:39 |
| dreambox | thanks :) | 21:39 |
| dreambox | damn the complicated desktops... | 21:40 |
| dreambox | Unity is a bugfest | 21:40 |
| holstein | works fine for me.. you can use and prefer what you like though | 21:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | mind if i give you some advice dreambox? | 21:46 |
| TheLordOfTime | stop whining about unity in #ubuntu if you're going to be using lubuntu as a solution? | 21:46 |
| dreambox | TheLordOfTime, democracy.. I'll express my concerns... either you like it or not. | 21:48 |
| dreambox | good night | 21:48 |
| holstein | yeah... a lot of volunteers work hard to develop unity.. | 21:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | this isnt a democracy dude. | 21:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | !whining | 21:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | what? there's no factoids for this? | 21:48 |
| * TheLordOfTime walks over to the IRCC | 21:48 | |
| TheLordOfTime | there are limits to how much we allow you to whine and complain | 21:49 |
| dreambox | TheLordOfTime, man, I stopped chatting with you like 10' ago .. | 21:50 |
| dreambox | give it a rest please. | 21:50 |
| jarnos | holstein, Well, I have upgraded to 12.04 from older release in two different hardware and they both have various crashes. Fortunately 12.04 has feature that is supposed to report crashes easily to developers. | 22:45 |
| holstein | jarnos: i have fresh installs that dont crash.. maybe try making a new user and testing there, taking your configuration out of the equation | 23:10 |
