| smartboyhw | Congrats Lubuntu: You might be the only release left that will still aim for CD releases | 04:12 |

| smartboyhw | in the Ubuntu deriative world | 04:13 |
| sagar | hello | 06:46 |
| sagar | when will lubuntu be LTS? | 06:47 |
| smartboyhw | sagar, until gilir and phillw says so:P | 06:47 |
| sagar | gilir and phillw please say so :) ... cmmon guys u dont know how quickly lubuntu has become popular | 06:48 |
| wxl | i wonder… | 06:50 |
| wxl | !lts | 06:50 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 06:50 |
| wxl | nope we don't have that updated for lubuntu | 06:50 |
| wxl | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#Lubuntu_12.04_is_not_an_LTS | 06:51 |
| wxl | that's for you sagar | 06:51 |
| sagar | for large scale deployments we need LTS ... upgrading breaks a lot of things ... i tried from 11.04 to 11.10 and then to 12.04 ... all via upgrade and it broke a lot of things ... i keep getting errors equivalent to explorer has performed illegal operation ... now you really dont come to linux world to get the dreaded windows error ... | 06:51 |
| smartboyhw | Actually I seriously think that Lubuntu has the human resources to be an LTS | 06:51 |
| smartboyhw | I think Xubuntu or Ubuntu Studio has less resources than Lubuntu and they can still support LTS releases | 06:52 |
| sagar | in fact i feel that LUBUNTU must only be a LTS release ... no intermediate releases ... that would make it different ... 3 years or even 24 months is a good LTS time ... so the problem of manpower shortage is nullified here as the focus will only be on LTS releases only ... every 2 or 3 yrs | 06:54 |
| wxl | while i don't entirely understand the politics behind why it's not an lts, the fact of the matter is it's not. | 06:56 |
| sagar | so the best way to put an end to all politics in a diplomatic way, make lubuntu a LTS only release ... | 06:58 |
| wxl | sagar: file a bug report :) | 06:59 |
| sagar | :) | 06:59 |
| sagar | :) | 06:59 |
| sagar | LOL | 06:59 |
| wxl | i'm kind of not kidding | 06:59 |
| wxl | did you ever see the first bug on launchpad? | 07:00 |
| wxl | !bug 1 | 07:00 |
| ubottu | bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 | 07:00 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 07:00 |
| smartboyhw | lol | 07:00 |
| wxl | still a very active bug i might add | 07:00 |
| smartboyhw | sagar, that's a weird suggestion:P | 07:00 |
| sagar | LOL LOL LOL ... | 07:01 |
| sagar | smartboyhw ... only LTS is wierd or something else | 07:02 |
| smartboyhw | sagar, pure LTS release..... | 07:03 |
| smartboyhw | Lubuntu has not even get used to LTS every 2 years with intermediate releases in between | 07:03 |
| smartboyhw | It would be difficult to just switch to pure LTs | 07:03 |
| mikathewoof | howdy folks. | 07:03 |
| sagar | but dont you think so that only LTS give more time for developers and we have a much much stable software ... look at DEBIAN ... they release the last and its hughely hughely stable ... | 07:04 |
| mikathewoof | i have peppermint installed. oooh, no! i know it's not lubuntu, but it's quite similar and there is no helpl in the pepp irc channel. i'm just wondering why i have all the folder icons from my /home/username on my desktop. anyone know why? i'd like a nice clean desktop... | 07:04 |
| sagar | switch to lubuntu mikathewoof | 07:07 |
| mikathewoof | heh | 07:08 |
| mikathewoof | sudo apt-get reinstall os --type--lubuntu ? that work? | 07:08 |
| sagar | haa ... have not tried that ... might as well try ... could be a success STORY ... | 07:10 |
| devslash | does lubuntu support encrypted lvm at install like vanilla ubuntu installer ? | 07:16 |
| wxl | yep | 07:16 |
| wxl | same installer devslash | 07:16 |
| devslash | ok thanks | 07:16 |
| devslash | vanilla ubuntu 12.10 runs like shit in a VM | 07:16 |
| devslash | time to try out a different DE | 07:16 |
| sagar | LUBUNTU ... | 07:21 |
| sagar | tyr it | 07:21 |
| smartboyhw | devslash, Unity is **** in VM I agree. It's good on real hardware though | 07:21 |
| devslash | yea. lack of 3d acceleration from what I understand | 07:22 |
| devslash | I'm downloading lubuntu now | 07:22 |
| devslash | too bad. i do like unity overall and didn't want to have to learn a different DE | 07:22 |
| sagar | well LXDE is pretty straight forward ...devslash ... ull like it and its light on resources too | 07:27 |
| devslash | yea | 07:27 |
| sagar | LXDE is desktop environment for Lubuntu ... | 07:28 |
| sagar | u might want to try these too .... SLITAZ very very small and fast ... http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/4.0/slitaz-4.0.iso | 07:31 |
| devslash | if I choose encrypt the file system when installing ubuntu/lubuntu, what type of encryption is used | 07:36 |
| mikathewoof | how come when i try to open a file over the network (a movie file using vlc) it can't open it. i get an error that just says 'failed' in vlc. it opens and plays just fine on linux mint... | 07:46 |
| mikathewoof | i am lead to believe it's a permissions thing. but the sharef is stup just fine. that's not it. the file can open just fine with mplayer... | 07:47 |

| sagar | hello | 09:40 |
| kewel | is there a cool little memory meter that will sit in my tray? | 11:32 |
| kewel | hello .. piii1ghz 512mb .. lubuntu 12.04. I'm looking for a memory meter that will sit on my taskbar. I tried docky, but uhm it uses 40mb of memory. | 12:00 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | kewel: conky. but on desktop | 12:13 |
| albroz | hi, can some one help me with a strange bug that happened twice with me? | 13:38 |
| bennypr0fane | hello, I have trouble playing a DVD with VLC and/or Gnome Mplayer, it says "could not open device /dev/dvd" | 13:51 |
| kewel | yall crazy conkay ass mofahs | 14:06 |
| kewel | nm thanks | 14:06 |
| Unit193 | !language | kewel | 14:21 |
| ubottu | kewel: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 14:21 |
| Unit193 | bennypr0fane: To start with, you do have libdvdcss2? | 14:21 |
| bennypr0fane | Unit193 let me check. Should find it in Synaptic? | 14:27 |
| bennypr0fane | Unit193 it seems not to be in the repos | 14:29 |
| bennypr0fane | what's the terminal command to check if I have a pkg installed? | 14:29 |
| Unit193 | bennypr0fane: Only in medibuntu, but there is a script to installl it in the libdvdread package. | 14:31 |
| Unit193 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 14:32 |
| bennypr0fane | http://pastie.org/6130097 it's in German though, sorry but maybe you still recognize the output | 14:33 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, that's expected, it's not in the main/default repos, only medibuntu or installable from that script. | 14:34 |
| bennypr0fane | what it I just installed lubuntu-restricted-extras? unnecesary weight/ mostly useful stuff/nothing to do with my situation? | 14:35 |
| bennypr0fane | *what if | 14:35 |
| bennypr0fane | form this page: "Some programs may need recompilation" I can't do that | 14:36 |
| bennypr0fane | *from | 14:36 |
| bennypr0fane | damn typos | 14:36 |
| Unit193 | In case it doesn't use encryption, you should try pointing the open location to the mounted device, or for example I have /dev/dvd1 rather than /dev/dvd (but I still need libdvdcss2 to play, depends on the disk, you may have one that doesn't) | 14:39 |
| bennypr0fane | turns out I already got libdvdread4 that is new to me, didn't know pkgs could be installed from scripts | 14:40 |
| Unit193 | Ehh, it's not great, I use the other method personally as it will also keep it updated. | 14:40 |
| bennypr0fane | so this accesses the medibuntu repo without that need to actually add it to my pkg managment? | 14:40 |
| Unit193 | Kind of. | 14:42 |
| bennypr0fane | damn, still the same error: Wiedergabefehler: DVDRead konnte die Disk "/dev/dvd" nicht öffnen. Ihre Eingabe konnte nicht geöffnet werden: VLC kann die MRL 'dvd:///dev/dvd' nicht öffnen. Sehen Sie für Details im Fehlerprotokoll nach. | 14:44 |
| Unit193 | Try ls /dev/dvd* and see what you get. | 14:45 |
| bennypr0fane | 'bout what you said above, I thought maybe my optical drive is mounted wrong. But in that case, the drive wouldn't start acting when I tell the Media player to open a disc, right? | 14:46 |
| genii-around | Maybe you have a CD and not a DVD ? | 14:47 |
| bennypr0fane | no, it's defintiely a dvd | 14:47 |
| bennypr0fane | ~$ ls /dev/dvd* ls: Zugriff auf /dev/dvd* nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden | 14:47 |
| bennypr0fane | what's the asterisk for? like wildcard? | 14:48 |
| bennypr0fane | it says file or directory not found | 14:48 |
| Unit193 | Yep. Now try mount and see "where" it is. | 14:49 |
| bennypr0fane | (btw little parenthesis does anyone whether there's way to copy/paste in Xchat by right click menu?) | 14:50 |
| Unit193 | May be able to put it in buffer 1 with just selecting the text (scroller click to paste) | 14:51 |
| bennypr0fane | it's /dev/sr0 but the drive did start doing something when I clicked play - before! now it doesn't | 14:52 |
| bennypr0fane | (what's buffer 1?) | 14:53 |
| bennypr0fane | (and how to put it there?) | 14:53 |
| genii-around | Interesting that sr0 exists but not the dvd symlink | 14:57 |
| bennypr0fane | it is | 14:58 |
| bennypr0fane | interesting | 14:58 |
| bennypr0fane | how can I map this right? | 14:59 |
| Unit193 | genii-around: I have dvd1 symlinked to sr0 on two computers, oddly enough. | 15:00 |
| Unit193 | bennypr0fane: Should be able to create it with ln -s, or in VLC where it has "Open Disk", select /dev/sr0 | 15:00 |
| bennypr0fane | oh wait, I didn't reboot after installing libdvdcss2 | 15:01 |
| tortik | Is any software to see a voltage on a power supply? | 15:04 |
| bennypr0fane | ha, it works when I input /dev/sr0! | 15:05 |
| bennypr0fane | Unit193 to make the symlink, like this: ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd ? | 15:08 |
| Unit193 | Mine is relative, but basically. | 15:08 |
| Unit193 | As root, though, so sudo. | 15:09 |
| bennypr0fane | Unit193 what you mean relative? | 15:12 |
| Unit193 | `sudo ln -s sr0 /dev/dvd` basically. | 15:12 |
| * genii-around ponders cd /dev && sudo ln -s sr0 dvd | 15:13 | |
| bennypr0fane | then I'd need to cd into that directory first wouldn't I? | 15:13 |
| bennypr0fane | yes like that genii-around | 15:13 |
| Unit193 | It's alink that points to "sr0", wherever that may be. (I just did it to make sure I was right) | 15:14 |
| bennypr0fane | ha, it worked! just clicked play with /dev/dvd, dvd starts! I love it when I can set things how they're supposed to be! | 15:15 |
| bennypr0fane | awesome | 15:15 |
| bennypr0fane | thanks guys! | 15:15 |
| Unit193 | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Feb 12 10:12 dvd -> sr0 was created not in the dir, and is the same as lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Feb 12 00:27 dvd1 -> sr0 though I don't know if it'll hold on reboots? | 15:15 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing! | 15:15 |
| bennypr0fane | Unit193 I suppose it wouldn't hold. I often get different device names even though didn't change anything. Even different letters, not just numbers | 15:16 |
| Unit193 | bennypr0fane: But at least you'll know what to do then. | 15:17 |
| bennypr0fane | yup! nice! | 15:17 |
| bennypr0fane | have a good day! | 15:17 |
| Unit193 | You as well. | 15:18 |
| tata | I have Lubuntu with one LXDE panel. I add one more panel XFCE and when I turn on computer, XFCE panel not appear, WHY? | 20:56 |
| Unit193 | tata: Because you didn't add it to any startup scripts. | 20:58 |
| tata | ok, how to add xfce panel to startup scripts? | 21:00 |
| Unit193 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Boot_Install_Login#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_into_Desktop Should be something like that. | 21:03 |
| bzb | how do you change the size of icon on desktop? | 21:19 |
| bzb | seems you can only change the font size | 21:20 |
