| ianorlin | http://www.lubuntutips.com/2012/07/lubuntu-login-screen-changing-lightdm.html#.Uf2hKK7I1UQ | 00:33 |
| superman_ | i actually want the login to look similar to this, it is more user friendly to people who are new to lubuntu and computers in general, and it takes less clicks https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/LightDM_1.2.1_on_Ubuntu_12.04.png | 00:35 |
| superman_ | the background isn't a big deal just the user interface | 00:36 |
| ianorlin | hmm I don't know that | 00:38 |
| ianorlin | is this coming back from sleep or when you first boot? | 00:38 |
| superman_ | first boot | 00:39 |
| superman_ | or anytime you log on | 00:43 |
| superman_ | when guest use a computer with Lubuntu they don't know how to log on and think you need a password | 00:43 |
| Unit193 | allow-guest=false fixed. ;) | 00:45 |
| superman_ | but i want guest to use the computer easily without bothering me or anyone else heh | 00:46 |
| ianorlin | you want it to show guest first? | 00:54 |
| superman_ | no something like this https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/LightDM_1.2.1_on_Ubuntu_12.04.png | 00:55 |
| superman_ | just one click to log in for guest | 00:55 |
| ianorlin | I it says there is auto login maybe try setting that to guest in here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Boot_Install_Login | 01:03 |
| superman_ | in Linux Mint you just download any login theme you want and select it | 01:06 |
| superman_ | hmmm was zeitgeist included in the last update? | 01:08 |
| ianorlin | I don't know | 01:10 |
| superman_ | zeitgeist datahub is now found checked to automatically start when Lubuntu starts, i don't think i saw it there before... maybe i'm blind | 01:12 |
| superman_ | ianorlin, on your galculator is there a currency converter included? | 01:17 |
| ianorlin | no | 02:32 |

| tomatto | hi | 10:54 |
| tomatto | please, how can i set numlock automatically when X starts? | 10:55 |
| tomatto | please, how can i set numlock automatically when X starts? | 11:10 |
| phillw | tomatto: let me look it up... | 12:05 |
| tomatto | i installed numlockx and it looks like that it is working | 12:06 |
| tomatto | but i have still issue with adobe flash player | 12:06 |
| phillw | tomatto: going back to num lock.. it is covered at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock which I will be doing! | 12:07 |
| tomatto | when i want to play something on youtube, it show black window, blink few times and disappear | 12:07 |
| tomatto | first step is gnome related | 12:08 |
| phillw | tomatto: the best / easiest way for you tube is to join the html5 'trial' http://www.youtube.com/html5?gl=GB | 12:09 |
| phillw | the other steps in that wiki area are also for server systems :) | 12:09 |
| tomatto | i already joined to html5 trial but only few videos can be played that way | 12:10 |
| tomatto | :( | 12:10 |
| phillw | tomatto: that sounds more like a graphics issue - head over to http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=334 and have a read of the 2nd sticky about "multimedia and graphics" area. | 12:13 |
| tomatto | i have nvidia fx5200 graphics and nvidia drivers | 12:14 |
| phillw | the people on that area will know of the graphics card, if it is not listed in the sticky area then do feel welcome to ask them! | 12:15 |
| tomatto | do you mean this howto's new part? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 | 12:16 |
| tomatto | whom? | 12:17 |
| phillw | medibuntu is lapsing :'( they do not have people to keep it going. | 12:18 |
| phillw | tomatto: the main thing is to install the restricted extras package... use the CLI for this, as there are issues with the 'easy' install. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 12:21 |
| tomatto | didn;t help | 13:43 |
| superman__ | hey friends | 14:45 |
| superman__ | i'm just curious, why did Lubuntu choose Chromuim and now Firefox as the default web browsers | 14:46 |
| superman__ | btw, Firefox > Chromium :P | 14:50 |
| superman__ | _trewe, do you know? | 14:51 |
| _trewe | know what? | 14:52 |
| superman__ | i'm just curious, why did Lubuntu choose Chromuim and now Firefox as the default web browsers | 14:54 |
| superman__ | i'm just curious, why did Lubuntu choose Chromuim and now Firefox as the default web browsers | 14:54 |
| Newk | maybe because chromium loads in all tabs (if you chose that option in settings: that you left open last session) and firefox only loads them when you open the tab | 15:07 |
| Newk | thats one of the reasons why i like firefox better | 15:08 |
| superman__ | true | 15:09 |
| superman__ | i'm curious why a lightweight browser wasn't chosen such as Midori, since Lubuntu is suppose to be a lightweight distro | 15:10 |
| Newk | yes that is strange but i am glad the chose firefox because it is fully featured | 15:11 |
| Newk | if i need featherlight but feature lacking i would install midori | 15:12 |
| superman__ | the main reason FF is my main browser is because of some addons, if Midori had some of those addons i would switch to the lightweight Midori browser | 15:13 |
| hylian | what settings tools do i have at my finger tips for lxde? (or the lubuntu packages?) I want tnings like power control, etc.. | 15:39 |
| hylian | does xfce settings manager work for lxde? | 15:41 |
| superman__ | i heard that Google is giving FireFox $300 million a year | 15:48 |
| superman__ | to have Google as the default search engines and stuff | 15:49 |
| superman__ | Google is just the modern day NSA/CIA/Government spying... etc heh | 15:51 |
| rundaz | installed libreoffice, then removed abiword and gnumeric. icon for abiword is gone. but icon for gnumeric is still in menu (even though nothing happens when click on it). how do i get rid of it (on all user accounts)? | 16:17 |
| __crash_ | "Error creating directory: Permission denied" when trying to create s .theme folder in home directory | 17:00 |
| __crash_ | what should i do? | 17:00 |
| superman__ | __crash_, try sudo or ask the Ubuntu channel for help | 17:09 |
| dazru | installed webhttrack and icon is way out of size in menu (way too big). how can this be fixed? | 18:03 |
| dazru | anybody around? | 18:07 |
| dazru | Unit193: ? (i already got some quality help from you...) | 18:11 |
| Unit193 | dazru: Howdy, find the ,desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ and check what icon it's pointing too first. | 18:11 |
| dazru | thank you. found the file but not sure how to chekc what icon it's pointing to | 18:13 |
| dazru | i did properties... | 18:14 |
| dazru | there are two desktop files: WebHTTrack-Websites.desktop and WebHTTrack.desktop | 18:15 |
| dazru | looks like one is the website copier and one is to browse. both icons are are way too big in the menu | 18:17 |
| dazru | Unit193: are you still there? | 18:21 |
| dazru | don't abandon me :( | 18:25 |
| dazru | :) | 18:25 |
| ianorlin | this happened to me too on lincity | 18:31 |
| Unit193 | cat the file. | 18:32 |
| dazru | cat? i dont understand | 18:36 |
| dazru | you mean cut? | 18:37 |
| dazru | ianorlin: seems to be a lubuntu bug... | 18:39 |
| subman_ | Is Lubuntu not integrated well with Ubuntu One? I don't see a sync option in the default file manager | 18:39 |
| ianorlin | it isn't installed by defualt | 18:39 |
| ianorlin | cat is a terminal command to show the file right | 18:40 |
| dazru | Unit193: you mean "cut the file"? | 18:40 |
| subman_ | ianorlin, I am running Lubuntu under Ubuntu via install lubuntu-desktop | 18:40 |
| Unit193 | dazru: No, view it, open it, etc. | 18:41 |
| Unit193 | subman_: UbuntuOne doesn't care about pcmanfm. | 18:41 |
| dazru | Unit193: i did already... | 18:41 |
| dazru | Unit193: i cant see how to resize the icon | 18:42 |
| Unit193 | grep Icon /usr/share/applications/whatever.desktop | 18:42 |
| subman_ | Unit193, well that is not good. How do you sync your files then in Lubuntu? | 18:44 |
| Unit193 | subman_: rsync or scp. You can use UbuntuOne, just not in the context menu to get the links and such. | 18:45 |
| dazru | Unit193: ok found it. now do i just resize it with gimp? | 18:45 |
| subman_ | Unit193, and this issue is not a show stopper for users? I love Ubuntu One myself | 18:46 |
| Unit193 | dazru: That text, is it a direct link? Does it point to a too large file? | 18:46 |
| Unit193 | Not good to edit. | 18:46 |
| ianorlin | make another resized imaged off a backup? | 18:46 |
| dazru | Icon=/usr/share/httrack/icons/webhttrack.xpm | 18:46 |
| dazru | i opened the icon file and the image seems quite big... about the same size as it comes out in the menu i guess... | 18:47 |
| Unit193 | subman_: I don't know, I dumped U1 myself. (Never used Mainbuntu.) | 18:47 |
| subman_ | Unit193, ok. Thanks for the help, appreciated. | 18:48 |
| Unit193 | dazru: It's because it's an xpm file, you can try to copy the image to ~/.local/share/applications/ and see if you can point it to a smaller image, or take off the path (eg, Icon=webhttrack ) | 18:48 |
| dazru | Unit193: what type of file should it be? | 18:49 |
| dazru | Unit193: can i just open it with gimp and save it as png for example? | 18:50 |
| dazru | Unit193: thank you. have a little problem here (not computer related) have to go. will try doing what you said later. thank you. | 19:00 |
| ianorlin | hmm there is a gui way to change icon if you right click on it in the menu | 19:04 |
| Xentinel | hello | 21:49 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | is there no way of getting a complete oracle java install with javaws and everything without having to go through crazy loopholes and commandfrenzy? | 21:54 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | in lubuntu 13.04 ie | 21:55 |
| Unit193 | Not so much, but openjdk works pretty well. | 21:56 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | i am using a site where openjdk does not work... only oracle will work for me | 21:56 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | omg this java stuff has become a death trap | 21:58 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | does the full ubuntu come with a working oracle java? | 21:59 |
| Xentinel | I'm having trouble getting VMware workstation to fit my Lubuntu VM to window size, I've installed open-vm-tools, however, that did nothing to help | 21:59 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | Xentinel: you may need to | 22:01 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-`uname -r` | 22:01 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | and then install the tools again | 22:01 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | you know unarme -r will give you what you need to write after linux-headers- | 22:02 |
| Xentinel | I'll give it a go | 22:03 |
| Xentinel | those `` runs a command inside a command? | 22:04 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | no | 22:04 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | the first thing you do is run | 22:04 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | uname -r | 22:04 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | that will give you a version number | 22:04 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | and you put that after linux-header- | 22:05 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | so in my case it would be | 22:05 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | linux-header-3.8.0-27-generic | 22:05 |
| Xentinel | well it did try to install the one I had | 22:06 |
| Xentinel | there we go | 22:07 |
| Xentinel | works now, thanks | 22:07 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | Xentinel: np | 22:08 |
| Xentinel | but seriously, that `` did insert the output | 22:12 |
| Xentinel | it's pretty handy | 22:13 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | Xentinel: ah ok ... i didnt even know that | 22:13 |
| Xentinel | you can try to do: echo "uname -r" | 22:13 |
| Xentinel | that's just output the text | 22:13 |
| Xentinel | then do: echo `uname -r` | 22:13 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | :) good it works Xentinel... at the moment im trying to get java running | 22:14 |
| Xentinel | jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk, hope you get it working, I'm afraid I can't be of any help with that | 22:16 |
| jaaaaaaaaaaaakkk | Xentinel: no worries... doesnt seem like anyone knows | 22:20 |
