[01:28] <Vivekananda> anyone around. I have a problem with lubuntu. :). When I open a new program then sometimes the borders go beyond the screen but they are not there on the next screen. I would prefer that when I open a new program the borders remain inside the screen borders
[01:29] <holstein> Vivekananda: sometimes, i find the app is to big, and goes outside on my netbook.. is that the case?
[01:38] <Vivekananda> holstein: so I am trying to start emacs. Now based on the border restrictions and the default settings ( I have width 120 height only 60) it is fine but when I say height 100 it goes out of the screen partially. Also when I drag any unmaximised window ( say to the right) then part of it will go off of the screen but not visible in the worspace2 next to it
[01:39] <Vivekananda> something like this http://imagebin.org/252038
[01:40] <holstein> Vivekananda: its off the bottom you mean?
[01:42] <Vivekananda> holstein: yep
[01:42] <Vivekananda> and not just this but other programs
[01:42] <Vivekananda> also bad is that I thougth if it goes out of boundary to the right then I will see part of it showing up on the next window. That was standard in gnome but I dont see it here :(
[01:42] <holstein> Vivekananda: i just move them or resize them
[01:43] <holstein> Vivekananda: see what?
[01:43] <Vivekananda> holstein: Do you mean that such a boundary check is not built into lubuntu?
[01:43] <holstein> Vivekananda: i have seen this on others
[01:43] <holstein> i just resize the application to fit my screen
[01:44] <Vivekananda> see the part of the window cut off on the right side to show up in the next workspace.
[01:44] <Vivekananda> so you mean that this behaviour of cutting parts out is to be expected ?
[01:44] <holstein> Vivekananda: you have 2 monitors?
[01:44] <Vivekananda> so If I install something like a tiling program for multiple consoles then it will go off the screen on all sides and everywhere ?
[01:45] <holstein> i dont use LXDE where i have 2 monitors, but when i do with openbox, it works as expected
[01:45] <Vivekananda> no I have only one but 4 workspaces
[01:45] <holstein> Vivekananda: yeah, i dont think it goes over to the next workspace
[01:45] <holstein> Vivekananda: i never needed it to
[01:46] <Vivekananda> but that happenned in ubuntu gnome or happens there right ?
[01:46] <holstein> Vivekananda: i have seen that, yes
[01:47] <holstein> Vivekananda: not in openbox/lxde
[01:47] <Vivekananda> but being inside screen boundaries should be a given should it not. If I just reduce my workspaces number to 1?
[01:47] <holstein> what would i do? just set the application size
[01:47] <holstein> Vivekananda: its not as big a deal to me... i just rezise the few that dont fit my smaller resolution
[01:48] <holstein> and i assume the resolution size being smaller is the issue
[01:50] <Vivekananda> holstein: can it be that my graphics card is nto working and so my resolution is not optimum as it should
[01:50] <Vivekananda> how do I figure the resolution being displayed ?
[01:50] <holstein> Vivekananda: if you have a small screen, its just small
[01:51] <holstein> Vivekananda: my resolution is 1024x600 ..i expect some issues
[02:05] <Vivekananda> holstein: I have a decent screen and it was fine in lucid. it is a inspiron 600m
[02:09] <holstein> Vivekananda: its all open.. what would i do? check the resolution, and just resize apps to fit my screen
[02:09] <holstein> Vivekananda: show those screen shots around, maybe that will hepl
[02:09] <holstein> help*
[04:29] <Vivekananda> Hey everyone how do I install a darker theme for lubuntu
[10:20] <Auriga> Hello all, I'm having problems with conky throwing up issues with gnome-keyring, I'm reading online that I can delete gnome-keyring safely without any ill effects, is this accurate?
[13:47] <malaphus> Hi all, I've recently upgraded to Lubuntu 12.04 LTS from Ubuntu and the DHCP client doesn't seem to be updating DNS with my hostname now, the following like is present in dhclient.conf: "send host-name = gethostname();"
[13:47] <malaphus> This use to work fine in Ubuntu, is there something more I need to enable to get this working in Lubuntu, so that I can access dhcp hosts via their name rather than IP?
[15:34] <lubuntu> hi
[15:36] <Guest35987> please, i am trying to install lubuntu on my pc, but installator crashed up everytime after copying files and setting up hostname, username and timezone.
[15:37] <Guest35987> when i wanted to install grub manually, it returns with
[15:37] <Guest35987> Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting.
[15:37] <holstein> Guest35987: i might test the hardware and the iso
[15:37] <holstein> lubi: ^
[15:38] <lubi> holstein: i have installed ubuntu there before, but i want something lightweight
[15:38] <holstein> lubi: you can just install lxde in ubuntu
[15:39] <lubi> holstein: i wanted clean installation, but now i have nothing that can work or run
[15:40] <holstein> lubi: and you tested the iso?
[15:40] <holstein> !md5 | lubi
[15:40] <holstein> and the hard drive?
[15:41] <holstein> lubi: the lubuntu installer works fine for most.. i think we should start here
[15:43] <lubi> hard drive is fine.
[15:43] <lubi> holstein: and do you know something about that grub2 error?
[15:44] <holstein> lubi: i know i have no such error.. last time i was installing grub i saw that error, and used..
[15:44] <holstein> !grub
[15:44] <holstein> ^^ the gui from the restore grub wiki page
[15:48] <lubi> holstein: i check md5 of iso and they are equal
[15:50] <lubi> holstein: so what now?
[17:38] <bennypr0fane> Hi, I want to change the default boot setting in Grub - grub version is 1.98. I have Grub customizer installed, and tried to change it there, but to no effect. Maybe my version of grub customizer doesn't work on this version of grub. It also might be looking at the wrong harddisc, because I have 2, each with grubs sitting on their MBRs. I need some help finding out what's what and how to fix this...
[19:03] <holstein> !grub | bennypr0fane
[19:03] <holstein> i dont use the grub customizer
[23:21] <tweakster> i need to add a user to the sudo group. i see an instruction that says i should put it in the "end" of the file at /etc/sudoers; but i found a different instruction that says put it in that same file under the line "# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
[23:22] <tweakster> which one is right, or does it matter where i put it in the file?
[23:24] <tweakster> this is the setting to put:   %user ALL=(ALL) ALL
[23:24] <tweakster> at the end of the file or under the line? that is the question.
[23:37] <tweakster> should i be asking this question somewhere else?
[23:46] <tweakster> is there any single site where support questions can be searched for, one with answers to many questions about using lubuntu config files and such?
[23:57] <tweakster> is there a way to check whether software is available at lubuntu's default repository without installing and using a program like "lubuntu-software-center"? If i could just check without it, then i could use "apt-get" to retrieve and install what i may want at some point. So, where is a good place to browse the repo?
