| ubottu | A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. | 00:03 |
| JesseH | I see | 00:05 |
| JesseH | Thanks. | 00:07 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 00:07 |

| remzo | hello | 09:39 |
| remzo | I am having issues with pacmanfm and network drives | 09:39 |
| remzo | i keep geting "operation not supported" | 09:39 |
| JesseH | Hello remzo | 09:44 |
| JesseH | Can you explain a bit more? I've never had the situation. | 09:44 |
| remzo | JesseH, well I click on go>network drives | 09:44 |
| remzo | and I get "error: operation not supported" | 09:45 |
| remzo | I do not know why this is happening, as this is limited to only one computer | 09:45 |
| remzo | I did try reinstalling gvfs-backends, ... | 09:46 |
| remzo | but nothing change | 09:46 |
| JesseH | What about gamin? | 09:46 |
| remzo | and I get the same - operation not supported - with smb://MY_SERVER/ or sftp://MY_SERVER/ | 09:46 |
| remzo | I have installed gamin | 09:47 |
| JesseH | And you logged out, restarted wtc? | 09:47 |

| remzo | JesseH, I would have tried to upgrade to 13.04, but I need to keep 12.10 as it is a developers box with specific lib requirements | 09:48 |
| JesseH | remzo, Not sure on a fix. Idle around and see if one of the experienced guys helps. | 09:49 |
| JesseH | mikubuntu, One second | 09:49 |
| remzo | JesseH, thnx | 09:49 |
| JesseH | np :-) | 09:49 |
| JesseH | mikubuntu, right click on that network icon and do edit connections. Then click wireless, make sure you have that setup, and "edit" the connection of your choosing and there should be a "automatically connect" button or something. | 09:52 |
| JesseH | or well "connect automatically" | 09:52 |
| JesseH | Make sure you put the password in the Wireless Security tab | 09:52 |
| JesseH | It's the same for ubuntu, mikubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Networking | 09:53 |
| Riccardone | Hi all, do you for a bug on the lastes 13.04 on the Desktop PReferences ? | 10:45 |
| JesseH | Riccardone, your sentence is a bit hard to understand mate | 10:46 |
| Riccardone | I try to change my desktop wallpaper, but when i reboot my pc, the desktop is the default desktop ... My modification deosn't have place .. | 10:46 |
| Riccardone | the same for the font size, i changhe the font size to 8ppt, but at the restart i founde the default Ubuntu-11 ... | 10:47 |
| Riccardone | *change | 10:47 |
| Riccardone | JesseH: I installed yesterday yet ... | 10:48 |
| Riccardone | I think my permission wasn't ok, but really the /usr/share/lubuntu/wallpapers have the drw-rw-r-- permission so it's ok | 10:52 |
| Riccardone | I've applied all the updates/upgrades but the bug remains ... | 10:52 |
| Riccardone | do you have an idea ? | 10:52 |
| JesseH | Riccardone, Not really sure. That has happened to me before on ubuntu, I am not sure what could have caused it. | 11:28 |
| Riccardone | JesseH: i try many times. I'm sure there is a bug ... | 11:54 |
| Riccardone | After all, I've formatted HD and reinstalled all from the beginning and the issue was present ... | 11:55 |
| Riccardone | So, i decide to stand by some days, perahps someon will fix the bug ... | 11:55 |
| Riccardone | *someone | 11:55 |
| JesseH | Riccardone, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReportingBugs | 11:57 |

| Riccardone | leszek: hi | 13:20 |
| malaphus | Anyone know how I can add (if possible) custom items to the main LXDE panel menu? I know it generates the subfolders from /usr/share/applications/*.desktop, but I'd like to add a few commonly-used applications to the main menu itself (not within a subfolder) | 13:48 |
| leszek | malaphus: you could use an editor like alacarte for this | 13:52 |
| malaphus | Will look into that, thanks | 13:53 |
| Unit193 | I know in another DE you can use "Categories=X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel;" | 13:54 |
| malaphus | oh wow, alacarte has like 100 dependencies | 13:54 |
| malaphus | kind of overkill heh | 13:54 |

| stuartiannaylor | Hi apols, just did a install with the mini iso and then an apt-get install lubuntu-core and got loads on the install even end up with firefox and rythmbox installed? !! | 14:57 |
| stuartiannaylor | anyone tried to get a minimal lubuntu from raring 64? | 15:19 |
| stuartiannaylor | anyone chatting ? | 15:22 |
| holstein | stuartiannaylor: whats the question? | 15:25 |
| holstein | stuartiannaylor: there are volunteers here, yes | 15:25 |
| holstein | stuartiannaylor: most testing happens on the actual iso's being installed | 15:25 |
| holstein | stuartiannaylor: do you want help on removing the few apps that it seems the meta-package pulled in that you dont want? | 15:26 |
| NSA_AGENT | hi all , im trying to get penguintv running on lubuntu. when i try to run it i get these errors. any suggestions. im really new to linux so im pretty lost http://pastebin.com/gL3aSRKS | 16:10 |
| holstein | Please export WITH_MOZ_DIR with the location of run-mozilla.sh to correct this issue | 16:12 |
| holstein | ^^ thats the eroor message from the paste | 16:12 |
| mikubuntu | JesseH: yes jesse, 'connect automatically' is (has been) checked, but it doesn't connect automatically | 16:45 |
| bennypr0fane | hello, in Synaptic package manager, how can I find out for a given package which repository it comes from? | 16:53 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i would right click and look at the properties | 16:53 |
| bennypr0fane | holstein: nope it's not there | 17:11 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: it acutally is | 17:13 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: open synaptic.. search for the package, and right click | 17:13 |
| bennypr0fane | tell me where exactly? | 17:13 |
| bennypr0fane | Properties window has 5 tabs: | 17:13 |
| holstein | under "versions" you should be able to tell where it is coming from withoht any trouble | 17:14 |
| bennypr0fane | general, dependencies, installed files, versions, description | 17:14 |
| bennypr0fane | in that tab, on my screen there is nothing but the version number, which I can see already in Synaptics main window | 17:15 |
| holstein | and, it should say where it is coming from | 17:16 |
| holstein | ubuntu, or ppa | 17:16 |
| bennypr0fane | does not | 17:16 |
| bennypr0fane | oh wait | 17:16 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: what does it say? | 17:16 |
| bennypr0fane | it says raring | 17:17 |
| bennypr0fane | e.g. 2.10-33~raring1 | 17:17 |
| bennypr0fane | that's all though, really | 17:17 |
| bennypr0fane | fvor upgradeable packages, there's the present version number and the one for the available update | 17:19 |
| bennypr0fane | i dunno,. maybe I have a differnt version of synaptic | 17:19 |
| bennypr0fane | it's 0.80~exp2raring1 | 17:20 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: the maintainer is not referencing the PPA? | 17:21 |
| holstein | in the common tab? | 17:21 |
| bennypr0fane | This is where I looked for the info first, too, and it'd seem strange for it not to be available in Synaptic | 17:21 |
| bennypr0fane | if a package has a little ubuntu-icon in front of it, does that mean it comes from official Ubuntu repos? | 17:22 |
| bennypr0fane | because these packages don't carry info about the source repo either | 17:23 |
| bennypr0fane | for instance, the package "base-passwd", in the "general" tab under "source" it says "base-passwd". In the "version" tab, there's just 3.5.26 (raring) | 17:25 |
| bennypr0fane | So you get the info in your Synaptic? | 17:25 |
| bennypr0fane | holstein | 17:25 |

| bennypr0fane | hello, I need some help figuring out the contents of this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/canon-stable/+packages | 19:31 |
| bennypr0fane | the thing is, on that launchpad page, it lists a package that is not available to me in apt-get or synaptic | 19:32 |
| bennypr0fane | I need a driver for my Canon Pixma MX350. For most of the printer models here, there are *3* packages listed, e.g.: cnijfilter-mx360series, cnijfilter-mx360series-32; cnijfilter-mx360series-64 | 19:35 |
| bennypr0fane | 1.) what about the one that dopesn't specify the architecture | 19:35 |
| zleap | As a wild guess that could be text configuration files, if they are not binary then the work on any architecture i guess | 19:37 |
| bennypr0fane | 2.) for my model MX350 there is only the non-specific one and 32. My system is 64bit. I'd like to find out why there's no 64bit build and what that means in terms of which driver I need to use | 19:38 |
| bennypr0fane | also, if I do a search in Synaptic for cnijfilter-mx350, only the 32bit packages shows up | 19:39 |
| bennypr0fane | what are text configuration files? | 19:39 |
| bennypr0fane | zleasp | 19:39 |
| bennypr0fane | zleap, | 19:39 |
| zleap | yeah | 19:40 |
| bennypr0fane | on that launchpad page, I don't see a way to get more specific info about each package | 19:40 |
| zleap | text files with configuration info | 19:40 |
| bennypr0fane | and they're cross-architecture? | 19:40 |
| zleap | if you click on the package names you get more info, i guess wen you install it wil use what it needs | 19:41 |
| bennypr0fane | only the "common" package extend to list its contents. the model-specific packages aren't clickable | 19:42 |
| zleap | i know lpr has filters to make the printer work, these work with the binary packages i guess these are your text configuration files | 19:43 |
| zleap | hence you may have cupsfilter for a specific package | 19:44 |
| zleap | i am not an expert at this | 19:44 |
| zleap | just trying to go from experience | 19:44 |
| bennypr0fane | but if the unspecified ones are not actually installable packages, that would explain why they're not listed in Synaptic. apt-cache search lists them though: ~$ apt-cache search cnijfilter-mx350series cnijfilter-mx350series-32 - IJ Printer Driver for Linux. cnijfilter-mx350series - IJ Printer Driver for Linux. | 19:44 |
| bennypr0fane | what is lpr? | 19:45 |
| zleap | printing | 19:50 |
| zleap | like cups, but lpr is a lot lot older but is there as it works and is used with other printers | 19:50 |
| bennypr0fane | zleap, I have the common driver package 64 installed right now. If I try to install "cnijfilter-mx350series", it wants to remove the 64bit pkg and replace it with the 32 bit one | 19:54 |
| zleap | ok | 19:55 |
| bennypr0fane | the common pkg is there in 64 flavour, the specific one for my model only in 32bit | 19:55 |
| zleap | so its a dependancy issue then i guess | 19:55 |
| zleap | will the 32 bit driver work its for a printer | 19:55 |
| bennypr0fane | I wanna figure out why the 64bit flavour is not in that ppa, but it is for other models | 19:56 |
| bennypr0fane | I've used the 32 bit dirver in the past. a much older one though downloaded from Canon | 19:57 |
| zleap | can anyone help here please I am in over my head a little | 19:57 |
| bennypr0fane | sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't | 19:57 |
| zleap | hmm | 19:57 |
| bennypr0fane | yes please anyone! :-) | 19:57 |
| zleap | i know it cna take a while to print | 19:58 |
| bennypr0fane | so due to total refusal of the printer to respond, I removed it from the system and now I'm trying to reinstall it | 19:58 |
| bennypr0fane | The ancient dowloaded driver is already installed | 19:59 |
| bennypr0fane | the problem is cups can't find it on the network | 19:59 |
| bennypr0fane | so I wanna try and see if it works with a newer driver | 19:59 |
| zleap | the configuration is at port 601 i think so | 20:01 |
| zleap | http://yourip:601 | 20:01 |
| bennypr0fane | I managed to add the printer to Cups by specifying the Mac address manually. Still it doesn't respond to print jobs | 20:01 |
| zleap | i can't help i struggle with this myself sometimes | 20:02 |
| zleap | philipballew, | 20:02 |
| zleap | anyone | 20:02 |
| bennypr0fane | configuration of the printer? cups is at 631 | 20:02 |
| zleap | ok sorry | 20:02 |
| bennypr0fane | well thanks for trying | 20:03 |
| zleap | i kniow it was sometinglike that | 20:03 |
| bennypr0fane | do you know if debian has ppas too? | 20:03 |
| philipballew | zleap, whats wrong? | 20:03 |
| zleap | I am trying to help bennypr0fane with cups but am in over my head on package stuff | 20:04 |
| zleap | sorry | 20:04 |
| bennypr0fane | philipballew, do you have access to what I posted previously? | 20:05 |
| philipballew | your printer problem? | 20:05 |
| bennypr0fane | yes | 20:06 |
| philipballew | What did AskUbuntu show bennypr0fane ? | 20:06 |
| philipballew | Anyone else had this problem there? | 20:06 |
| bennypr0fane | philipballew, didn't check | 20:07 |
| bennypr0fane | I know lots of people are fukcing around with Canon printers as they never provide proper drivers, but it's a total swamp | 20:08 |
| philipballew | bennypr0fane, I always find good help there if it is just an error message I am getting. If not that, some other distros form page maybe as well. | 20:08 |
| bennypr0fane | dozens of threads to comb through | 20:08 |
| bennypr0fane | from page? | 20:08 |
| philipballew | I have never used a cannon. I have an hp from like 2002 I still use | 20:08 |
| philipballew | bennypr0fane, form... | 20:08 |
| * zleap uses brother | 20:08 | |
| philipballew | my bad | 20:08 |
| bennypr0fane | no error msg, just nothingness | 20:09 |
| philipballew | I am not a fan of printers since they are made to break so the companies can make more money. I do not support that. | 20:09 |
| bennypr0fane | philipballew, I made a type, not you. however, what is a form page? | 20:09 |
| philipballew | bennypr0fane, I see. Well maybe you can ask on AskUbuntu if you;re not getting help here. That is my next step if it was my problem | 20:10 |

| wxl | you can do nmap -sP '10.0.0.*' | 20:20 |
| bennypr0fane | I want to check if it's even up. | 20:20 |
| bennypr0fane | right, -sP I was missing | 20:20 |

| wxl | what's the context? | 20:24 |
| bennypr0fane | wxl I'm trying to make my Canon network printer work | 20:28 |
| bennypr0fane | I've used the 32 bit driver on my 64 bit Lubuntu in the past. A much older one though downloaded from Canon. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't. So due to total refusal of the printer to respond, I removed it from the system and now I'm trying to reinstall it. The ancient dowloaded driver is already installed. the problem is cups can't find it on the network | 20:30 |
| bennypr0fane | wxl: I managed to add the printer to Cups by specifying the Mac address manually. Still it doesn't respond to print jobs. Cups says (or the printer is saying to Cups?): "cannot specify model number." | 20:31 |
| === cdoublejj_ is now known as cdoublejj | ||
| wxl | bennypr0fane: this may be a good time to consult the cups folks. i'm not sure about that one | 20:32 |
| bennypr0fane | this is with the newer driver from this ppa:https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/canon-stable/+packages | 20:32 |
| bennypr0fane | still 32 bit though as that repo doesn't have the 64bit flavour either | 20:33 |
