[00:57] <sambagirl> hi is lubuntu using gnome desktop? secondly is it still closely similar to 10.04 - 10.10 interface?
[00:57] <Unit193> The "L" in Lubuntu is for LXDE.
[01:01] <Unit193> As far as looking like 10.x: http://www.chrishaney.com/?linux&release=Lubuntu%2012.10
[01:02] <sambagirl> ohh
[01:03] <sambagirl> i need a uppper and lower panel that i can manipulate primarily
[01:04] <sambagirl> i've  been working for the last few days with a new os ultimate edition 3.5 based off precise but it's so out of control i cant do nothing with it and therei is zero support for it. so i have to move on
[02:27] <Ahmuck> sambagirl: what type of panel
[02:28] <Ahmuck> i need help with my mouse laptop pad.  i need to turn off the pad as it is getting in the way
[02:28] <sambagirl> to tell you the truth i don't even know anymore. :)
[02:33] <Ahmuck> sambagirl: what r u trying 2 do
[02:45] <sambagirl> i'm trying to maintain familiarity and by that i mean to have what gnome offered in 10.10/10.04 with top and bottom panels where you could add familiar applets that were functional and useful.
[02:46] <sambagirl> i haev on one laptop something called ultimate edition and it offers like 15 different desktops you can choose from. it's so messy i'm sick of it. but it gives you a chance to see everything you dont want to see on a regular basis.
[02:46] <sambagirl> i have tried the lxfe for lubuntu and it's complicated to manipulate when your used to gnome 2
[02:53] <Unit193> Simply because if you're expecting Gnome2, it's just not it, same with Xfce and Gnome2.
[02:54] <sambagirl> yeah
[02:55] <Unit193> If you're looking for something that has top and bottom by *default*, I think Unity kind of does, and Xubu.
[02:55] <Unit193> Did you try mate on whatever makes that?
[02:55] <sambagirl> xubu
[02:55] <sambagirl> unity makes me want to vomit
[02:55] <sambagirl> that is why i didnt use anything after 10.10 cause it had that unity
[02:56] <sambagirl> it's almost as awful as windows 8
[02:56] <Unit193> Xubuntu == Xubu.
[02:56] <sambagirl> ohh
[02:56] <Ahmuck> u can do this in lubuntu
[02:56] <Ahmuck> u can add a bar at the top and bottom and icons
[02:56] <Ahmuck> this is what i do
[02:57] <sambagirl> oh really
[02:57] <Unit193> So that's simple, Unity is out of the question.  You may be able to do that with lxpandl, and even if not there are other panels.  Tint2 is one good non-default.
[02:57] <sambagirl> they have lubuntu interface on this edition thingy and i had a chance to look at it.
[02:57] <Ahmuck> right click on the current bar and "create new panel"
[02:57] <sambagirl> brb and thanks i am looking online now
[02:57] <Unit193> Check the LXDE wiki.
[02:57]  * Ahmuck bumps sambagirl
[02:58] <Ahmuck> d@#$@#$ mouse
[02:58] <sambagirl> yes?
[02:58] <sambagirl> ok
[02:58] <Ahmuck> i can step you through it
[02:58] <sambagirl> also i would know that compiz works.
[02:58] <sambagirl> ok i have to cook at the momenet brb
[02:58] <Ahmuck> that i can't help you with
[02:58] <Ahmuck> mmm, what r u fixin

[13:51] <smurfslover> hi there, first time user for lubuntu can someone point me in the right direction to install ati proprietary driver?
 in lubuntu  i try to open Unetbootin by right click and select the "run as program" but it is not there, helP?
[19:52] <holstein> kristoffer: in what os?
[19:52] <bioterror> sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[19:52] <bioterror> gksudo unetbootin
[19:52] <bioterror> usually unetbootin also asks password when run from the menu
[19:53] <kristoffer> holstein Lubuntu...
[19:53] <holstein> kristoffer: then enjoy bioterror 's excellent response
[19:54] <kristoffer> ok installing ii dident know it could be installed through terminal i always downloaded the file from website xd
[19:54] <bioterror> but unetbootin is hardly needed nowdays, unles you really really want to make a persistent usb pendrive
[19:54] <bioterror> !apt | kristoffer
[19:54] <bioterror> kristoffer, read, please
[20:00] <kristoffer> is there anything else i can use instead of unetbootin its freezez at  4% i also had that problem before
[20:01] <kristoffer> nvm it dident freeze anyway
[21:22] <intelgma> hi, i really need some help with onboard intel gma 3100 graphics (q35 chipset): playing videos in fullscreen (mplayer/gmplayer) just does not work correctly. i can either get fullscreen with audio/video getting more and more out of sync (with -vo gl) or using the default settings and the player will hang after a few settings, leaving the system unresponsive for some time.
[21:24] <intelgma> so far i tried updating the whole system, updating mplayer to a very recent version via repository, lubuntu 12.04/12.10 in i386 and amd64, linux mint but everywhere the same
[21:26] <intelgma> i know it does work, because i had it working some days ago but had to reinstall the whole system. now i don't know where to check. it has to be software related
[21:27] <bioterror> nothing new in launchpad
[21:28] <intelgma> is there some packet for intel onboard graphics that i am missing? xorg.log has no errors, dri is supposed to be enabled
[21:28] <bioterror> what if you use VLC
[21:28] <bioterror> does it work?
[21:29] <intelgma> will try that
[21:34] <intelgma> vlc plays some files with video okay, so it seems, but the audio is terribly distorted. other files that mplayer does play with a/v out of sync let's vlc hang or crash
[21:35] <bioterror> you're 100% sure your videos are okay? :D
[21:36] <intelgma> at first i thought it's the kernel, but after trying 2.6.xx, 3.2.xx,3.5.xx,3.6.xx i don't know where to look
[21:36] <intelgma> and yes, the files were playing fine before :)
[21:39] <intelgma> funny thing is: flash works fullscreen
[21:40] <Slayback> hi this is the secound time i install Lubuntu 12.04 today, after the first install wifi worked and after another restart the wifi wouldent work anymore, when turning on wifi by pressing Fn and wifi key it said only Dissconnected, i just reinstalled and this is the first time boot, is there anything i can do if the wifi wont work again after a secound reboot??
[21:41] <intelgma> ... i just downloaded some new files. they seem to be okay!
[21:42] <intelgma> and even the old ones are fine now .... what did vlc install that mplayer requires?
[21:42] <intelgma> i can't believe that
[21:42] <bioterror> Slayback, hard to say atm.
[21:43] <bioterror> Slayback, ifconfig, ifconfig device up
[21:43] <bioterror> maybe you might need to give rfkill
[21:43] <bioterror> who knows
[21:44] <Slayback> the wifi button was there the when the first install dident work after secound boot, but there was no connections showing and just said "Wired network dissconeccted"
[21:47] <intelgma> okay, no i am totally lost. all of a sudden both mplayer and vlc play any file just fine!
[21:47] <intelgma> and all after vlc hang/crashed on me
[22:41] <gajbooks> Is there any way to have Lubuntu (or any linux) use the pagefile for written things and temporary storage of read things until the system shuts down? Then it would write things to the disk?
[22:42] <gajbooks> I'm running Lubuntu off of a terrible slow USB 1.1 and I want things to have a cache on my faster firewire drive. (Computer doesn't boot from Firewire so I can't just do that)
[22:45] <intelgma> gajbooks: you could even use a ramdisk to do that
[22:46] <bioterror> he could install lubuntu on that firewire drive and use usb pendrive as a boot loader?
[22:47] <intelgma> even better
[22:48] <gajbooks> I also don't want to format the drive, so I'll try ramdisk.
[22:48] <gajbooks> How would one use a ram disk for that?
[22:51] <intelgma> http://www.tremende.com/ramlog/ this is an easy installation, but only for /var/log, IIRC.
[22:52] <intelgma> what kind of data are we talking about?
[22:56] <gajbooks> Anything the OS or a program wants.
[22:56] <intelgma> mount -t tmpfs -o size=300M tmpfs /path/to/ramdisk
[22:57] <intelgma> but you would have to point all the possible save-destinations to that path
[23:02] <intelgma> a good start would be to symlink /tmp to that dir, possibly /var/tmp and /var/log as well, like: mkdir /mnt/ramdisk/{tmp,var/log,var/tmp} && mount --bind /tmp /mnt/ramdisk/tmp
[23:02] <intelgma> and so on
[23:03] <intelgma> wait, that should probably be mount --move olddir newdir
[23:05] <intelgma> no, that applies to mountpoints only
