[00:03] !metapackage [00:03] 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. [00:05] I see [00:07] Thanks. [00:07] Sure. [03:31] could anyone tell me why my wireless login info doesn't persist between sessions? everytime i boot i have to enter the wireless passkey to connect -- this only started happening after i added the lubuntu-desktop to my *buntu several months ago. === cdoublejj_ is now known as cdoublejj [03:55] I don't know [05:01] could anyone tell me why my wireless login info doesn't persist between sessions? everytime i boot i have to enter the wireless passkey to connect -- this only started happening after i added the lubuntu-desktop to my *buntu several months ago. === insomnia is now known as Guest47886 [08:03] hi everyone, i've recently installed lubuntu 13.04 on my old toshiba netbook. i love the experience, but the start-ups usually takes 5-10mins. is there anyway to make it faster? [08:06] ? [09:39] hello [09:39] I am having issues with pacmanfm and network drives [09:39] i keep geting "operation not supported" [09:44] Hello remzo [09:44] Can you explain a bit more? I've never had the situation. [09:44] JesseH, well I click on go>network drives [09:45] and I get "error: operation not supported" [09:45] I do not know why this is happening, as this is limited to only one computer [09:46] I did try reinstalling gvfs-backends, ... [09:46] but nothing change [09:46] What about gamin? [09:46] and I get the same - operation not supported - with smb://MY_SERVER/ or sftp://MY_SERVER/ [09:47] I have installed gamin [09:47] And you logged out, restarted wtc? [09:47] etc* [09:47] yes [09:48] could anyone tell me why my wireless login info doesn't persist between sessions? everytime i boot i have to enter the wireless passkey to connect -- this only started happening after i added the lubuntu-desktop to my *buntu several months ago. [09:48] 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 [09:49] remzo, Not sure on a fix. Idle around and see if one of the experienced guys helps. [09:49] mikubuntu, One second [09:49] JesseH, thnx [09:49] np :-) [09:52] 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] or well "connect automatically" [09:52] Make sure you put the password in the Wireless Security tab [09:53] It's the same for ubuntu, mikubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Networking [10:45] Hi all, do you for a bug on the lastes 13.04 on the Desktop PReferences ? [10:46] Riccardone, your sentence is a bit hard to understand mate [10:46] 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 .. [10:47] 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] *change [10:48] JesseH: I installed yesterday yet ... [10:52] 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] I've applied all the updates/upgrades but the bug remains ... [10:52] do you have an idea ? [11:28] Riccardone, Not really sure. That has happened to me before on ubuntu, I am not sure what could have caused it. [11:54] JesseH: i try many times. I'm sure there is a bug ... [11:55] After all, I've formatted HD and reinstalled all from the beginning and the issue was present ... [11:55] So, i decide to stand by some days, perahps someon will fix the bug ... [11:55] *someone [11:57] Riccardone, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReportingBugs [11:57] Report it :D [12:00] ok. Now I'm at office, when I'm going home i 'm going to report it :) thanx a lot === toby is now known as Guest96277 [12:01] Hi! IRC virgin here. Looking for help fixing a problem with Lubuntu. Is this the appropriate place to ask? [12:07] I believe all irc clients should give people a warning message saying "If you don't idle, chances are your questions won't be answered." [13:08] hi [13:20] leszek: hi [13:48] 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) [13:52] malaphus: you could use an editor like alacarte for this [13:53] Will look into that, thanks [13:54] I know in another DE you can use "Categories=X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel;" [13:54] oh wow, alacarte has like 100 dependencies [13:54] kind of overkill heh [13:54] --no-install-recommends [14:57] 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? !! [15:19] anyone tried to get a minimal lubuntu from raring 64? [15:22] anyone chatting ? [15:25] stuartiannaylor: whats the question? [15:25] stuartiannaylor: there are volunteers here, yes [15:25] stuartiannaylor: most testing happens on the actual iso's being installed [15:26] stuartiannaylor: do you want help on removing the few apps that it seems the meta-package pulled in that you dont want? [16:10] 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 [16:12] Please export WITH_MOZ_DIR with the location of run-mozilla.sh to correct this issue [16:12] ^^ thats the eroor message from the paste [16:45] JesseH: yes jesse, 'connect automatically' is (has been) checked, but it doesn't connect automatically [16:53] hello, in Synaptic package manager, how can I find out for a given package which repository it comes from? [16:53] bennypr0fane: i would right click and look at the properties [17:11] holstein: nope it's not there [17:13] bennypr0fane: it acutally is [17:13] bennypr0fane: open synaptic.. search for the package, and right click [17:13] tell me where exactly? [17:13] Properties window has 5 tabs: [17:14] under "versions" you should be able to tell where it is coming from withoht any trouble [17:14] general, dependencies, installed files, versions, description [17:15] in that tab, on my screen there is nothing but the version number, which I can see already in Synaptics main window [17:16] and, it should say where it is coming from [17:16] ubuntu, or ppa [17:16] does not [17:16] oh wait [17:16] bennypr0fane: what does it say? [17:17] it says raring [17:17] e.g. 2.10-33~raring1 [17:17] that's all though, really [17:19] fvor upgradeable packages, there's the present version number and the one for the available update [17:19] i dunno,. maybe I have a differnt version of synaptic [17:20] it's 0.80~exp2raring1 [17:21] bennypr0fane: the maintainer is not referencing the PPA? [17:21] in the common tab? [17:21] This is where I looked for the info first, too, and it'd seem strange for it not to be available in Synaptic [17:22] if a package has a little ubuntu-icon in front of it, does that mean it comes from official Ubuntu repos? [17:23] because these packages don't carry info about the source repo either [17:25] 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] So you get the info in your Synaptic? [17:25] holstein [17:26] * holstein checking === bipul is now known as koolbrain17 === koolbrain17 is now known as Dexter === Dexter is now known as Dexter_ [19:02] hey guys. im a dev who wants to help out wherever he can with this project. Is there a wiki page or some place where i can start reading into how i can help? [19:03] ArchBeOS: www.lubuntu.net should be a great place to start [19:04] why thank you SonikkuAmerica for sending me to www.lubuntu.net. what ever would i do without that bit of knowledge. [19:05] I hope that wasn't sarcastic... it has a Get Involved page... :\ [19:06] SonikkuAmerica: jesus man, im sorry. i feel like a jackalope now. i see where you wanted me to go. you didnt deserve that and i shall leave in shame [19:07] i thought you were being a jerk to me like the fedora guys were... [19:07] im sorry [19:07] No biggie! [19:31] hello, I need some help figuring out the contents of this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/canon-stable/+packages [19:32] the thing is, on that launchpad page, it lists a package that is not available to me in apt-get or synaptic [19:35] 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] 1.) what about the one that dopesn't specify the architecture [19:37] As a wild guess that could be text configuration files, if they are not binary then the work on any architecture i guess [19:38] 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 [19:39] also, if I do a search in Synaptic for cnijfilter-mx350, only the 32bit packages shows up [19:39] what are text configuration files? [19:39] zleasp [19:39] zleap, [19:40] yeah [19:40] on that launchpad page, I don't see a way to get more specific info about each package [19:40] text files with configuration info [19:40] and they're cross-architecture? [19:41] if you click on the package names you get more info, i guess wen you install it wil use what it needs [19:42] only the "common" package extend to list its contents. the model-specific packages aren't clickable [19:43] i know lpr has filters to make the printer work, these work with the binary packages i guess these are your text configuration files [19:44] hence you may have cupsfilter for a specific package [19:44] i am not an expert at this [19:44] just trying to go from experience [19:44] 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. [19:45] what is lpr? [19:50] printing [19:50] like cups, but lpr is a lot lot older but is there as it works and is used with other printers [19:54] 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 [19:55] ok [19:55] the common pkg is there in 64 flavour, the specific one for my model only in 32bit [19:55] so its a dependancy issue then i guess [19:55] will the 32 bit driver work its for a printer [19:56] I wanna figure out why the 64bit flavour is not in that ppa, but it is for other models [19:57] I've used the 32 bit dirver in the past. a much older one though downloaded from Canon [19:57] can anyone help here please I am in over my head a little [19:57] sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't [19:57] hmm [19:57] yes please anyone! :-) [19:58] i know it cna take a while to print [19:58] so due to total refusal of the printer to respond, I removed it from the system and now I'm trying to reinstall it [19:59] The ancient dowloaded driver is already installed [19:59] the problem is cups can't find it on the network [19:59] so I wanna try and see if it works with a newer driver [20:01] the configuration is at port 601 i think so [20:01] http://yourip:601 [20:01] I managed to add the printer to Cups by specifying the Mac address manually. Still it doesn't respond to print jobs [20:02] i can't help i struggle with this myself sometimes [20:02] philipballew, [20:02] anyone [20:02] configuration of the printer? cups is at 631 [20:02] ok sorry [20:03] well thanks for trying [20:03] i kniow it was sometinglike that [20:03] do you know if debian has ppas too? [20:03] zleap, whats wrong? [20:04] I am trying to help bennypr0fane with cups but am in over my head on package stuff [20:04] sorry [20:05] philipballew, do you have access to what I posted previously? [20:05] your printer problem? [20:06] yes [20:06] What did AskUbuntu show bennypr0fane ? [20:06] Anyone else had this problem there? [20:07] philipballew, didn't check [20:08] 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] 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] dozens of threads to comb through [20:08] from page? [20:08] I have never used a cannon. I have an hp from like 2002 I still use [20:08] bennypr0fane, form... [20:08] * zleap uses brother [20:08] my bad [20:09] no error msg, just nothingness [20:09] 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] philipballew, I made a type, not you. however, what is a form page? [20:10] 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] *typo [20:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/forum.php [20:10] like that ^ [20:12] alright will try [20:13] thanks everyone [20:14] alright, you did make a typo after all, twice. you meant forUm (U was missing). got it. [20:15] bennypr0fane, Blame the American education system. [20:17] anyone know how to scan my subnet for the printer with nmap? I know my IP is 10.0.0.something [20:17] my own IP should by easy to find, yes? [20:18] ifconfig [20:19] I have 10.0.0.36, the other computer has 10.0.0.255, the nas has 10.0.0.139. How would you scan for the printer [20:20] you can do nmap -sP '10.0.0.*' [20:20] I want to check if it's even up. [20:20] right, -sP I was missing [20:24] How do I find which protocol it uses? [20:24] hm? [20:24] sorry i got into the tail end of this convo [20:24] what's the context? [20:28] wxl I'm trying to make my Canon network printer work [20:30] 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 [20:31] 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." === cdoublejj_ is now known as cdoublejj [20:32] bennypr0fane: this may be a good time to consult the cups folks. i'm not sure about that one [20:32] this is with the newer driver from this ppa:https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/canon-stable/+packages [20:33] still 32 bit though as that repo doesn't have the 64bit flavour either
