flop | you mean to open the file on my SD with other live cd? | 00:00 |
---|---|---|
holstein | flop: if you think its lubuntu related.. that will let you know if it is or not | 00:01 |
holstein | though, it still could be some issue with your current user and group permissions | 00:01 |
holstein | what would i do? maybe make another user and test | 00:02 |
holstein | sudo chown or sudo chmod should work | 00:02 |
flop | the thing is that I cannot even change anything with sudo chmod which is weird | 00:04 |
flop | and I'm in the same group as the original file located in Downloads | 00:05 |
holstein | flop: can you run sudo -i ? | 00:05 |
flop | bug? | 00:05 |
holstein | flop: i dont know yet.. i dont think so, since its not a problem for anyone else, or me | 00:05 |
flop | sudo -i makes me root | 00:06 |
holstein | flop: then, open that file with something | 00:09 |
holstein | flop: you can email me the file if you like, and i'll try and get it to "break" | 00:10 |
flop | ok, it open with leafpad | 00:10 |
holstein | flop: i would try as another user.. | 00:10 |
holstein | flop: or try with a live cd.. try something different | 00:11 |
flop | ok | 00:11 |
flop | question is, does evince need write permission to open a file? | 00:12 |
holstein | flop: not that im aware of | 00:12 |
flop | the only difference is that the original file has write permission on group, but again I cannot set it with chmod | 00:13 |
holstein | http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/01/ubuntu-tip-change-ownership-of-files-folders/ | 00:15 |
holstein | flop: sudo chown flop:flop /path/to/file for example | 00:15 |
holstein | i think you are doing it differently | 00:15 |
flop | I did, still not working :( | 00:16 |
holstein | flop: and as another user? | 00:17 |
holstein | or live CD? | 00:17 |
flop | ok I'll try live usb of lubuntu | 00:17 |
flop | bbiab | 00:17 |
flop | ok it's not opening but that was weird | 00:37 |
flop | now* | 00:37 |
flop | I booted in live sb of lubuntu and I could open it from the SD | 00:38 |
flop | Then back to my hdd version, still the same | 00:39 |
holstein | flop: so, you know its *not* lubuntu.. its your install | 00:39 |
holstein | what would i do? try as another user | 00:39 |
flop | then I changed the name to a.pdf and it opened! bt why?? | 00:39 |
flop | but* | 00:39 |
flop | if I leave the file to a it won't open only on the SD but will open in /Downloads | 00:40 |
flop | to "a" | 00:40 |
flop | without .pdf extension | 00:41 |
holstein | ? | 00:41 |
holstein | it'll need that extention | 00:41 |
flop | but the file opens without extension in /Downloads with evince | 00:41 |
holstein | flop: i woudnt over think it.. if its a pdf, give it the .pdf extention | 00:42 |
flop | ok. Good to know it's working at least. I guess I was the only being lazy just to name the file "a" | 00:43 |
flop | only = one | 00:43 |
flop | and thanks for helping me holstein :) | 00:43 |
holstein | sure. anytime | 00:43 |
ubulove | Hi all | 02:46 |
ubulove | I have a desktop pc 4 years old with 1GB of ram DDR2. What do you suggest ? Installing Lubuntu and stay with 1GB of ram or buy more DDR2 ram ? | 02:47 |
holstein | ubulove: install lubuntu.. if you want more ram afterwards, go for it | 02:50 |
ubulove | holstein: hmmm! Do i need more ram for lubuntu from your own experience? | 02:50 |
Unit193 | What do you plan on doing? | 02:51 |
ubulove | Surfing over the net, talking in skype with cam, install LibreOffice and firefox. | 02:52 |
holstein | ubulove: try the free option.. which is installing without buying ram.. then, try with $30 worth of ram if you decide you need it | 02:52 |
ubulove | holstein: yeap you are right. | 02:53 |
ubulove | holstein: LibreOffice is not included in Lubuntu. What office is included if u know? | 02:55 |
holstein | ubulove: you can install libreoffice easily | 02:56 |
ubulove | holstein: right now am from my 6 years old laptop, my father had this desktop pc and he didnt use it at all | 02:57 |
ubulove | thats why am thinking to use it without spending any money on it. | 02:57 |
ubulove | and I didnt know lubuntu exist, and i loved lubuntu more than ubuntu by canonical. | 02:58 |
holstein | !lubuntu | 02:58 |
ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 02:59 |
ubulove | hehehe yeah i know it's still ubuntu. but i dont like unity :P | 02:59 |
holstein | lubuntu is an official ubuntu distro, but its a community project.. not a canonnical one so much.. | 02:59 |
ubulove | its recognized by canonical | 03:01 |
ubulove | thats good ! | 03:01 |
holstein | ubulove: its more than that.. its an official distro, as i said,, its just not directly supported by canonnical | 03:01 |
holstein | its a community project | 03:01 |
ubulove | holstein: I think I will register a nickname here. I loved this network. Every time I have a problem or something and I'm here I get satisfied. | 03:02 |
ubulove | holstein: do you know if I will be able to connect through internet from a USB-WiFi running on lubuntu ? | 03:03 |
ubulove | because ethernet isnt available till my room | 03:04 |
holstein | ubulove: try it live | 03:05 |
holstein | ubulove: most wifi devices are supported or can easily be supported | 03:05 |
ubulove | alright, thanks man | 03:05 |
ubulove | am going off now, thanks for your help, really appreciate! | 03:06 |
ubulove | 05:06AM here in Cyprus | 03:06 |
flop | is there a flash player in lubuntu chrome? | 03:56 |
flop | *chromium | 03:56 |
flop | some of the videos play in youtube while others say to install adobe flasg player | 04:00 |
Unit193 | You can install adobe-flashplugin. | 04:00 |
Unit193 | !info adobe-flashplugin partner | 04:00 |
ubottu | adobe-flashplugin (source: adobe-flashplugin): Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11. In component main, is optional. Version 11.2.202.275-0precise1 (partner), package size 6443 kB, installed size 17162 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 04:00 |
flop | how do I install it? from command line? | 04:03 |
flop | says: adobe-flashplugin has no installation candidate | 04:04 |
holstein | flop: i would search a package manage for flash | 04:05 |
holstein | flop: i use google-chrome, since it has the most current version of flash for linux | 04:05 |
flop | in the softwarelubuntu software center there is flash plugin but says it's for mozilla | 04:06 |
holstein | well, it is | 04:07 |
holstein | i dont think that means exclusively for ff | 04:07 |
bigmath8636_ | hi i have a question i am doing a dual boot with windows 7 on a 2TB hard drive and wanted to know about how much to give to my linux | 06:33 |
hateball | bigmath8636_: That all depends what you intend to do with it. If you plan to install many applications, and/or store user data on the Linux partitions | 06:36 |
bigmath8636_ | in worst case scenario let's say i will how much maximum would be enough | 06:37 |
bigmath8636_ | in my guess 1 TB seems like to much for linux witch is still pretty light een with updates and distro upgrade | 06:38 |
bigmath8636_ | *which *even | 06:39 |
bigmath8636_ | sorry for the typo | 06:39 |
bigmath8636_ | would 100 gb be enough | 06:40 |
bigmath8636_ | without user data just software | 06:41 |
Unit193 | Sure. | 06:42 |
bigmath8636_ | thank you for your help | 06:45 |
duanedesign | I am helping a user install Lubuntu. Is the installer much different then UBuntu | 10:32 |
duanedesign | mainly is setting up a dual boot system fairly straight forward | 10:32 |
inductiveload | duanedesign: i don't know what the ubuntu installer is like these days, but dual boot setup is relatively straightforward | 10:45 |
inductiveload | you can just say "install Lubuntu alongside OtherOS", choose what proportion of the disk you want for each and the rest is handled automagically | 10:47 |
duanedesign | thank you friend | 10:48 |
duanedesign | chers | 10:48 |
duanedesign | wc | 10:48 |
