=== IboS_ is now known as IboS [04:12] Congrats Lubuntu: You might be the only release left that will still aim for CD releases [04:13] in the Ubuntu deriative world [06:46] hello [06:47] when will lubuntu be LTS? [06:47] sagar, until gilir and phillw says so:P [06:48] gilir and phillw please say so :) ... cmmon guys u dont know how quickly lubuntu has become popular [06:50] i wonder… [06:50] !lts [06:50] 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] nope we don't have that updated for lubuntu [06:51] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#Lubuntu_12.04_is_not_an_LTS [06:51] that's for you sagar [06:51] 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] Actually I seriously think that Lubuntu has the human resources to be an LTS [06:52] I think Xubuntu or Ubuntu Studio has less resources than Lubuntu and they can still support LTS releases [06:54] 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 [06:56] while i don't entirely understand the politics behind why it's not an lts, the fact of the matter is it's not. [06:58] so the best way to put an end to all politics in a diplomatic way, make lubuntu a LTS only release ... [06:59] sagar: file a bug report :) [06:59] :) [06:59] :) [06:59] LOL [06:59] i'm kind of not kidding [07:00] did you ever see the first bug on launchpad? [07:00] !bug 1 [07:00] bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [07:00] 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] lol [07:00] still a very active bug i might add [07:00] sagar, that's a weird suggestion:P [07:01] LOL LOL LOL ... [07:02] smartboyhw ... only LTS is wierd or something else [07:03] sagar, pure LTS release..... [07:03] Lubuntu has not even get used to LTS every 2 years with intermediate releases in between [07:03] It would be difficult to just switch to pure LTs [07:03] howdy folks. [07:04] 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] 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... [07:07] switch to lubuntu mikathewoof [07:08] heh [07:08] sudo apt-get reinstall os --type--lubuntu ? that work? [07:10] haa ... have not tried that ... might as well try ... could be a success STORY ... [07:16] does lubuntu support encrypted lvm at install like vanilla ubuntu installer ? [07:16] yep [07:16] same installer devslash [07:16] ok thanks [07:16] vanilla ubuntu 12.10 runs like shit in a VM [07:16] time to try out a different DE [07:21] LUBUNTU ... [07:21] tyr it [07:21] devslash, Unity is **** in VM I agree. It's good on real hardware though [07:22] yea. lack of 3d acceleration from what I understand [07:22] I'm downloading lubuntu now [07:22] too bad. i do like unity overall and didn't want to have to learn a different DE [07:27] well LXDE is pretty straight forward ...devslash ... ull like it and its light on resources too [07:27] yea [07:28] LXDE is desktop environment for Lubuntu ... [07:31] u might want to try these too .... SLITAZ very very small and fast ... http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/4.0/slitaz-4.0.iso [07:36] if I choose encrypt the file system when installing ubuntu/lubuntu, what type of encryption is used [07:46] 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... [07:47] 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...

[12:00] 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. [12:13] kewel: conky. but on desktop [13:38] hi, can some one help me with a strange bug that happened twice with me? [13:51] hello, I have trouble playing a DVD with VLC and/or Gnome Mplayer, it says "could not open device /dev/dvd" [14:06] yall crazy conkay ass mofahs [14:06] nm thanks [14:21] !language | kewel [14:21] kewel: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [14:21] bennypr0fane: To start with, you do have libdvdcss2? [14:27] Unit193 let me check. Should find it in Synaptic? [14:29] Unit193 it seems not to be in the repos [14:29] what's the terminal command to check if I have a pkg installed? [14:31] bennypr0fane: Only in medibuntu, but there is a script to installl it in the libdvdread package. [14:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [14:33] http://pastie.org/6130097 it's in German though, sorry but maybe you still recognize the output [14:34] Yeah, that's expected, it's not in the main/default repos, only medibuntu or installable from that script. [14:35] what it I just installed lubuntu-restricted-extras? unnecesary weight/ mostly useful stuff/nothing to do with my situation? [14:35] *what if [14:36] form this page: "Some programs may need recompilation" I can't do that [14:36] *from [14:36] damn typos [14:39] 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) [14:40] turns out I already got libdvdread4 that is new to me, didn't know pkgs could be installed from scripts [14:40] Ehh, it's not great, I use the other method personally as it will also keep it updated. [14:40] so this accesses the medibuntu repo without that need to actually add it to my pkg managment? [14:42] Kind of. [14:44] 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. [14:45] Try ls /dev/dvd* and see what you get. [14:46] '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? [14:47] Maybe you have a CD and not a DVD ? [14:47] no, it's defintiely a dvd [14:47] ~$ ls /dev/dvd* ls: Zugriff auf /dev/dvd* nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden [14:48] what's the asterisk for? like wildcard? [14:48] it says file or directory not found [14:49] Yep. Now try mount and see "where" it is. [14:50] (btw little parenthesis does anyone whether there's way to copy/paste in Xchat by right click menu?) [14:51] May be able to put it in buffer 1 with just selecting the text (scroller click to paste) [14:52] it's /dev/sr0 but the drive did start doing something when I clicked play - before! now it doesn't [14:53] (what's buffer 1?) [14:53] (and how to put it there?) [14:57] Interesting that sr0 exists but not the dvd symlink [14:58] it is [14:58] interesting [14:59] how can I map this right? [15:00] genii-around: I have dvd1 symlinked to sr0 on two computers, oddly enough. [15:00] bennypr0fane: Should be able to create it with ln -s, or in VLC where it has "Open Disk", select /dev/sr0 [15:01] oh wait, I didn't reboot after installing libdvdcss2 [15:04] Is any software to see a voltage on a power supply? [15:05] ha, it works when I input /dev/sr0! [15:08] Unit193 to make the symlink, like this: ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd ? [15:08] Mine is relative, but basically. [15:09] As root, though, so sudo. [15:12] Unit193 what you mean relative? [15:12] `sudo ln -s sr0 /dev/dvd` basically. [15:13] * genii-around ponders cd /dev && sudo ln -s sr0 dvd [15:13] then I'd need to cd into that directory first wouldn't I? [15:13] yes like that genii-around [15:14] It's alink that points to "sr0", wherever that may be. (I just did it to make sure I was right) [15:15] 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] awesome [15:15] thanks guys! [15:15] 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] Sure thing! [15:16] 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 [15:17] bennypr0fane: But at least you'll know what to do then. [15:17] yup! nice! [15:17] have a good day! [15:18] You as well. [20:56] I have Lubuntu with one LXDE panel. I add one more panel XFCE and when I turn on computer, XFCE panel not appear, WHY? [20:58] tata: Because you didn't add it to any startup scripts. [21:00] ok, how to add xfce panel to startup scripts? [21:03] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Boot_Install_Login#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_into_Desktop Should be something like that. [21:19] how do you change the size of icon on desktop?
