[12:40] <jirido> Hi.
[12:45] <jirido> I wonder if someone her would know how to get rid of some of them mountable partitions that shows up in left pane in Pcmanfm..? I have set them in fstab to automount in different locations during boot time and find their representations there annoying and cluttering .. I would like though removable driver to show up! :)
[12:46] <jirido> err.. removable drives to show up!
[16:37] <cab___> anyone have experience with a LIGHT browser, seems chrome is using lots of RAM and cpu
[16:44] <fruktkaka> Heya lads.
[16:44] <fruktkaka> I'm new to lubuntu.. can I with ease unet myself a copy and boot it from usb?
[16:56] <cab___> the browsers candidate are:
[16:56] <cab___> arora - dillo - Dwb - Luakit - netsurf-gtk
[17:01] <cab___> midori also
[17:05] <cab___> dillo is hmmm too lighweight
[17:39] <wxl> cab___: try xxxterm aka xombrero
[17:51] <cab___> wxl:  thx for the pointer
[17:54] <wxl> cab___: np. i'll warn you it's a bit obtuse (like vim is) but it works really well.
[17:56] <cab___> xombrero work in terminal right?
[17:58] <cab___> wxl:  hmm maybe too minimal
[18:01] <wxl> cab___: nope, not terminal
[18:01] <wxl> cab___: and it only seems minimal. it's pretty darn full-featured.
[18:08] <cab___> I've downloaded v1.3.1
[18:10] <cab___> but it says 1.4 was released
[18:10] <cab___> *can't find it
[18:12] <cab___> https://opensource.conformal.com/snapshots/xombrero/
[18:12] <cab___> ok
[22:40] <JDude> Which do you prefer: weechat or irssi?
[22:46] <wxl> JDude: they're both good but i sure like vertical and horizontal window splits in weechat
[22:52] <JDude> wxl: I
[22:52] <JDude> wxl: I'd have to agree with you.
[22:53] <JDude> And the colors kind of swung me over :P
[22:53] <wxl> heh figures. pretty lights and all.
[22:53] <Unit193> !poll
[22:54] <Unit193> Both are good clients, scripting seems to be better in weechat as more languages are supported.
[22:54] <wxl> …because we're so drenched in traffic.
[22:54] <JDude> unit193: sorry... ? I was sort of just starting a conversation.
[22:54] <Unit193> wxl: Nah, it's more to stop wars in general, you know I like irssi better. :P
[22:55] <JDude> unit193: and I know there is not one that is objectively 'better'
[22:55] <Unit193> JDude: I'd recommend running it in tmux or screen.
[22:55] <JDude> Ooh why do you like irssi more? (just curious)
[22:56] <wxl> +1 tmux
[22:56] <Unit193> Heh, I use and like screen better. :P
[22:56] <JDude> is tmux a terminal emulator?
[22:56] <Unit193> JDude: I'm used to it, it has the features I need, it "acts" differently and makes more sense to me.
[22:56] <wxl> tmux & screen, depending on which you choose, are your terminal's best friend
[22:57] <wxl> i have to admit there's a lot about weechat that doesn't intuitively make sense to me and so i've not fully made the transition to it
[22:57] <Unit193> If X crashes for example and you actually run irssi/weechat on the same computer, you can still access them in a VT.
[22:57] <wxl> tmux stands for "terminal multiplexer" if that helps it make more sense
[22:58] <JDude> oh okay. I see. I use terminal a ton, so I should look into that.
[22:58] <wxl> it's a windowing system so to speak
[22:59] <JDude> thanks for the suggestion.
[23:00] <JDude> I just revived an old netbook last week so I'm still learning linux. but i find myself on this computer more than my mac
[23:00] <wxl> yeah i hear that
[23:00] <wxl> we wouldn't have a mac now but my wife insisted on it. i was all set to have a nice linux machine.
[23:01] <wxl> the thing pisses me off because it's unix, not linux, and a rather funky, perverted version at that
[23:01] <mysteriousdarren> JDude: keep fighting the good fight, and if you need help ask.
[23:02] <mysteriousdarren> :)
[23:04] <mysteriousdarren> JDude: were you the one asking about microsoft office?
[23:06] <JDude> mysteriousdarren: i was :)
[23:07] <JDude> mysteriousdarren: I installed wine fine, but I can't get MS office because I don't want/have a paid license.
[23:07] <wxl> JDude: have you tried libreoffice for whatever you're trying to do? it's fab,.
[23:08] <wxl> i will say that abiword is pretty darn good but not 100%
[23:08] <mysteriousdarren> wxl: sometimes, I have it install as well as abiword. Still office 2007 is rock solid on wine
[23:09] <JDude> wxl: yeah i have L.O. and I can edit docs, but when I reopen them on my mac it says the file is corrupted and needs to be resotred. Then I have to reselect the dropbox folder and rename the doc. so it's a minor issue.
[23:09] <mysteriousdarren> `installed
[23:09] <wxl> i haven't used office in so long it's unbelievable. not even on machines that have windows :)
[23:09] <wxl> which i think is a testament to how great libreoffice is.
[23:10] <JDude> mysteriousdarren: do you know approximately how much for a lisense of word?
[23:11] <JDude> wxl: libre offic is nice, and very similiar to word in almost everyway. the only thing i miss is language spell checking and the formula editor.
[23:11] <mysteriousdarren> JDude: are you in college?
[23:11] <JDude> yes.
[23:11] <mysteriousdarren> at my local private its 20
[23:12] <JDude> mysteriousdarren: okay, thanks. That's not too bad.
[23:12] <Unit193> You should be able to get "starter" too.
[23:12] <mysteriousdarren> Unit193: have you tried it?
[23:12] <JDude> unit193: That would be ideal. how?
[23:14] <JDude> I only
[23:14] <JDude> I have it on my windows 7 starter partition of this netbook.
[23:14] <Unit193> mysteriousdarren: I hate the ribbon, LO is my choice.
[23:14] <JDude> but windows runs painfully slow and i can't stand it
[23:15] <JDude> unit193: do you know how to install it with wine?
[23:15] <Unit193> JDude: I'd assume the same as normal office.
[23:15] <Unit193> I have no MSO in wine.
[23:15] <JDude> unit193: okay I'll have to go do some research. thanks for the suggestion
[23:16] <mysteriousdarren> LO is nice, just 07 is sold on wine
[23:18] <JDude> '07 MSO? or LO?
[23:18] <JDude> cuz LO is free on the software center
[23:19] <mysteriousdarren> Microsoft Office 2007
[23:19] <mysteriousdarren> use LO if you can
[23:19] <Unit193> JDude: I didn't recommend it, just an idea.  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/cat/ThemeID.27509700/categoryID.37826100 was another link.  Starter has a small ad on the side, IIRC.
[23:22] <mysteriousdarren> JDude: Yes, but at the college bookstores its usually cheaper. Just a thought, some give it for free
[23:24] <JDude> I'll have to go searching and see if we have it there.
[23:25] <JDude> Yeah $99 is a little steep for this little laptop, though I love it so :)
[23:27] <mysteriousdarren> id rather get a ssd for that much than office
[23:28] <JDude> mysteriousdarren: ssd's are so nice. I actually upgraded my macbook about a year ago to a ssd. It feels like I bought a new one :P
[23:28] <JDude> And microsoft has apparently discontinued the microsoft starter...
[23:29] <JDude> so they don't have a download up.
[23:32] <BlitzHere> HI
[23:32] <BlitzHere> I have a P4 1.6 Ghz computer with 512 MB of RAM and I want to install lubuntu 12.10. My CD drive stopped working and my BIOS doesn't like USB flash drives. Since I had GRUB installed, I get the kernel and initrd.gz for 12.10 and out them into /boot and followed instructions in the wiki. However, the installer doesn't seem to recognize my ethernet card. My card is a Realtek 8139d, which has had it's drivers put into the linux ker
