| adamgolding | I am totally new to linux and have chosen lubuntu as my distro. I've installed it in vmware player on a windows host. Where do I go now to learn about my OS from scratch? | 06:42 |
|---|---|---|
| adamgolding | the lubuntu docs seems to just address weird driver issues and stuff. the linux.org tutorials use debian or something | 06:42 |
| adamgolding | I can't seem to find a good ubuntu tutorial either | 06:42 |
| adamgolding | note that i don't want to learn much about LXDE, since I am not comitted to it | 06:43 |
| adamgolding | is there some integrated help system in lubuntu that I'm missing? | 06:46 |
| adamgolding | i.e. what is the lubuntu equivalent of windows help? | 06:46 |

| ShapeShifter499 | in case someone here has an answer to my question I post this link to my policyd question http://askubuntu.com/q/305282/136822 | 14:44 |
| Izach | this may have been asked many times but I am new to this OS: How do I get Java to work with the Lubuntu OS? | 18:25 |
| wxl | !java | Izach | 18:26 |
| ubottu | Izach: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 18:26 |
| Izach | Thanks you for the detailed answer, maybe my question was a bit vague. Basically I am having trouble with Lububtu not opening the Download link correct, instead it simply opens a New Chromium webpage that is blank and does nothing after clicking the download link. | 18:28 |
| Unit193 | So chromium has no idea how to handle apturl, just search synaptic, Lubuntu Software Center, or commandline for openjdk-7-jdk | 18:30 |
| Unit193 | jre, not jdk. | 18:30 |
| Izach | Were would i find the command line? | 18:30 |
| Unit193 | Open LXTerminal and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre | 18:31 |
| Izach | Thanks for your help, it is installing now. | 18:32 |
| Izach | I believe that this process would work correct with installing the plugin for my browser too? right? | 18:35 |
| Unit193 | Yep, icedtea. | 18:40 |
| Unit193 | (7 of course.) | 18:40 |
| Izach | Another question, will most Ubuntu apps also work on Lubuntu | 18:43 |
| Unit193 | For the most part, but generally you'll want to be careful about depends. | 18:45 |
| subman_ | Maybe you guys could help, as asking in the general Ubuntu channel never results in an answer! I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a remote computer and am trying to print to a printer local to me. The remote machine can print anything but pdf files. These result in just blank pages being printed. This is using Document Viewer and the server is running Ubuntu Server 12.04. Locally I'm running Lubuntu/Ubuntu 13.04 and can print pdf's using Document Vi | 20:23 |
| subman_ | ewer with no issues. Any ideas? | 20:23 |
| n-iCe | hi | 22:33 |
