[15:54] <DJRWolf> if I removed the thing in the toolbar for the different desktops, how do I switch between them? or add the icon back to the toolbar?
[15:55] <holstein> DJRWolf: you can add it back by editing the panel items.. should be able to right click and add it back.. or, you can use the keyboard shortcuts.. control+alt+"right or left arrow"
[15:56] <DJRWolf> holstein thanks
[17:21] <vjacob> hiya. is there any way that I could simply overwrite an existing ubuntu 12.04 install to be a Lubuntu install (with some cruft laying around, that might be cleanable) ?
[17:22] <vjacob> for example by replacing the package repositories and extracting some .tar.gz archives on top of my existing structure?
[17:23] <Unit193> !purelubuntu | vjacob
[17:24] <genii-around> vjacob: All the different official-type desktops are available by the way of packagenames like lubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop
[17:24] <vjacob> note that I did not have Lubuntu installed on this system earlier on
[17:24] <vjacob> would that still work Unit193 ?
[17:25] <Unit193> That's what it's made for, changing to Lubuntu from another one, just select 12.04 at the top.
[17:27]  * vjacob bows before the psycho cat
[17:30] <vjacob> thanks Unit193, genii-around
[17:31] <Unit193> Sure thing.
[18:04] <sonofzeus> hey there
[18:04] <sonofzeus> open the Startup Applications menu and add this entry: x11vnc -forever -passwd xyzzy -rfbport 5900 -bg, where ‘xyzzy’ is your chosen password.what does that mean?
[18:15] <SonikkuAmerica> He really did the XYZZY thing.
[18:19] <binaryhermit> oh my
[18:21] <SonikkuAmerica> Nothing happens.
[18:21] <binaryhermit> oh
[18:21] <SonikkuAmerica> binaryhermit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYZZY
[20:22] <ariel__> Hello, I come from different distributions and I have some questions, does anyone here have a minute?
[20:24] <SonikkuAmerica> I do.
[20:24] <SonikkuAmerica> (Shalom from an American supporter of Israel, by the way)
[20:27] <SonikkuAmerica> (You may want to state what distro you come from, too. Each distro handles packages and processes differently.)
[20:28] <ariel__> Oh, hello.  Great to know :-) First thing I want to ask. I tried different distros, I've been hopping for a while and I want to settle for lubuntu because it seems promising. My first question, is how do you keep things updated. In debian sid for example, or arch, I could update with the appropiate command, and it will just be updated to the latest.
[20:28] <ariel__> I want to keep bleeding-edge, how do I do that with lubuntu. That's it, shortly.
[20:30] <SonikkuAmerica> ariel__: Well, because Ubuntu (all its flavors, not just Lubuntu) is based on Debian... you can use the same commands [ apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade ], or use the graphical frontends found in the System Tools section of the apps menu (in Lubuntu.)
[20:30] <SonikkuAmerica> (Remember Lubuntu uses LXDE as its default desktop environment.
[20:30] <SonikkuAmerica> )
[20:31] <SonikkuAmerica> ariel__: And what do you mean by bleeding-edge? Alpha and beta testing?
[20:31] <ariel__> Yes, absolutly, I also want to just use openbox by the way. But I'l put it differently- Do I need to update my distro sometimes? Like grab a new cd and upgrade? or can it be done just by running appropiate commands?
[20:31] <ariel__> Yes bleeding edge= latest software of development
[20:32] <ariel__> I guess you could call it testing, I come from Arch where they like to show off with their terms :)
[20:32] <SonikkuAmerica> ariel__: It can be done (a) via a live image of the next release, (b) by running [ do-release-upgrade ] in a terminal,* or (c) using the Update Manager (Software Updater).
[20:33] <SonikkuAmerica> ariel__: *Upgrading to development releases is best done using this method, with the command [ do-release-upgrade -d ].
[20:33] <ariel__> Ok great that answers it! Thanks. Regarding the update manager- I've had some troubles with managers, can I just handle everything with commands and cancel the software center?
[20:34] <SonikkuAmerica> ariel__: Historically (I've used Ubuntu since 10.04) I've had the most luck with option B. Also, to answer the next question, everything can be done from the command line. (In fact, it's recommended when updating and upgrading and such to do so.)
[20:35] <ariel__> Yeah but how does it sychronizes with the update center? or how it is called
[20:35] <ariel__> synchronize*
[20:36] <SonikkuAmerica> ariel__: It does that the exact same way as Debian does, with the exception of using the Ubuntu repos instead of the Debian ones. [ sudo apt-get update ] is the command.
[20:38] <ariel__> Ok I probably confused you, but it was a minor pointless question which you pretty much answered. I remember wanting to ask something else, but I forgot being occupied with the installation :-). Thanks you again. I'l be back here in case I need something. Off topic- do you know anyone in Israel? perhaps there is a ubuntu/lubuntu community?
[20:39] <SonikkuAmerica> ariel__: Try joining #ubuntu-il (it's the Israeli LoCo team's channel)
[20:40] <ariel__> Thanks.
[20:40] <SonikkuAmerica> You're welcome.
[20:46] <AndrewBarber> Hey
[20:47] <AndrewBarber> The links on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Alternate_ISO are incorrect (at least for PC 32bit (torrent and standard)
[20:47] <AndrewBarber> they link to http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/raring/release/lubuntu-12.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
[20:47] <AndrewBarber> which of course should be
[20:47] <AndrewBarber> http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/raring/release/lubuntu-13.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
[20:57] <SonikkuAmerica> Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
[20:59] <SonikkuAmerica> I will fix it right now.
[21:00] <AndrewBarber> thanks :-)
[21:01] <SonikkuAmerica> (If Apache doesn't keep flushing internal server errors, i.e.)
[21:09] <SonikkuAmerica> AndrewBarber: All the links are updated to 13.04 now.
[21:09] <AndrewBarber> Sweet. I tried to myself but i didnt seem to have access to edit the page
[21:11] <SonikkuAmerica> AndrewBarber: You need a Launchpad account or an OpenID to edit it.
[21:17] <AndrewBarber> Bye!
[22:12] <Conflict_> I have a question regarding encryption.  I used LVM full disk encryption during installation.  Then during the end of the install I also checked off "Encrypt /home".  My question is: do i now have unnessicary "double encryption"?  Do I not have to encrypt /home if I'm using LVM with encryption?
[22:13] <Unit193> !crosspost | Conflict_
[22:14] <Unit193> Conflict_: You don't need both.
[22:14] <Conflict_> ok sorry
[22:14] <Conflict_> thanks
[22:33] <wuzuuz> why are you porting to qt?
[22:33] <wuzuuz> canonical decision?
[22:34] <Unit193> It's an option LXDE is looking into, that's all.
[22:36] <binaryhermit> I thought it already had been done
[22:37] <wuzuuz> 13.04 is qt or still gtk+?
[22:37] <binaryhermit> ok, fine, I guess it's in process.  Though it sounds like the GTK+ version will continue to exist
[22:37] <binaryhermit> 13.04 is still GTK+
[22:38] <wuzuuz> seems that only lubuntu (and main ubuntu?) will stay gtk+
[22:39] <Unit193> No?  What else is moving?  Unity is shifting to Qt, sooo.
[22:39] <wuzuuz> wow, didn't know that.
[22:40] <wuzuuz> hmm.
[22:40] <wuzuuz> sorry, I mean xubuntu
[22:41] <wuzuuz> so only xubuntu will stay gtk
[22:41] <Unit193> Gnome spin too, and Lubuntu might.
[22:41]  * binaryhermit wonders when GTK2 will get abandoned
[22:45] <binaryhermit> the problem is that there isn't a good qt webbrowser, so you're stuck pulling in a metric f-ton of gtk libs along with the qt libs this theoretical future lubuntu would have
[22:47] <wuzuuz> chrome?
[22:54] <binaryhermit> chrome is apparently gtk
[22:56] <binaryhermit> and he was gone when I said that
[22:56]  * binaryhermit facepalms
[23:05] <binaryhermit> hmm, I take back what I said about no good qt webbrowser.  apparently it's possible to build a qt firefox now.
[23:16] <Unit193> MonkWitDaFunk: And you are sure you aren't using EFI?  And the right architecture?
