| James_Epp | Where on earth is the control panel? | 04:11 |
| holstein | James_Epp: for? | 04:11 |
| James_Epp | holstein: Everything in general. | 04:12 |
| holstein | James_Epp: try and be more specific.. | 04:14 |
| Unit193 | Generally, in System or Preferences. | 04:14 |
| James_Epp | ....In every distro I know of there is at least a main control panel/center with all the rest of the options as submenus. I have heard of a "lubuntu-control-center" but an apt-get -y install lubuntu-control-center returns that the package cannot be found. http://www.lirui.name/upload/217.LubuntuControlCenter_001.jpeg | 04:15 |
| holstein | !info lubuntu-control-center | 04:15 |
| ubottu | Package lubuntu-control-center does not exist in raring | 04:15 |
| holstein | James_Epp: must be named something else | 04:15 |
| James_Epp | I'm running 12.04 | 04:15 |
| holstein | James_Epp: prefrences should be generally what you are looking or | 04:16 |
| holstein | for* | 04:16 |
| wxl | http://lubuntu.net/blog/lubuntu-screencast-lubuntu-control-center | 04:16 |
| wxl | ↑ read the comments for full details | 04:17 |
| wxl | suffice it to say it's not standard | 04:17 |
| wxl | it doesn't do anything you can't already do | 04:17 |
| James_Epp | I am really just looking for something so that I can edit startup applicaitons | 04:19 |
| James_Epp | applications* | 04:19 |
| James_Epp | wxl: Added the ppa, still cannot install package. | 04:20 |
| wxl | Start → Preferences → Desktop Session Settings → Automatically Started Applications | 04:20 |
| holstein | !ppa | 04:20 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 04:20 |
| holstein | James_Epp: ppa's are not officially supported, thought, you are welcome to use them, and seek support from the manufacturers | 04:20 |
| James_Epp | Does anyone know of the package used in ubuntu that controls startup applications? | 04:21 |
| wxl | …and just so you know all of the applications listed there are defined in /etc/xdg/autostart | 04:21 |
| wxl | James_Epp: follow the path i gave you above | 04:22 |
| James_Epp | wxl: Didn't see that one, thanks! | 04:22 |
| wxl | the one that starts with "Start" | 04:22 |
| James_Epp | wxl: One problem.....no "add" button | 04:22 |
| wxl | so what do you want to add? | 04:23 |
| James_Epp | es | 04:23 |
| James_Epp | yes* | 04:23 |
| wxl | you want to add "yes?" | 04:23 |
| James_Epp | sorry, I thought you were asking if I want to add something *late at night* | 04:23 |
| wxl | you want your computer to start playng the band Yes when it starts up? :) | 04:23 |
| James_Epp | just a virtualbox --start-vm=vm thing | 04:23 |
| James_Epp | Should I just add a bash script to /etc/xdg/autostart ? | 04:24 |
| wxl | James_Epp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Boot_Install_Login#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_into_Desktop | 04:24 |
| Unit193 | Or add it to crontab. | 04:25 |
| wxl | long story short: make a .desktop file and put it in your local autostart | 04:25 |
| James_Epp | My god......I truly thank you for all of the support, but this machine is to be headless, and I'm getting a sour taste so far. Perhaps I'll just still to the xfce variant. | 04:26 |
| wxl | it really doesn't take that much, but you're welcome to do what you wish | 04:26 |
| Unit193 | Headless, Xfce. Doesn't make sense. | 04:26 |
| wxl | :) | 04:26 |
| James_Epp | Unit193: Want me to explain the utility? | 04:26 |
| James_Epp | and by that, i mean....my project? | 04:27 |
| holstein | i would put a delay on it | 04:27 |
| wxl | let me guess: vrdp. | 04:27 |
| James_Epp | N0pe. | 04:27 |
| wxl | prolly take longer to explain then to set up your autostart | 04:28 |
| James_Epp | yup :) | 04:28 |
| wxl | so go get to work silly | 04:28 |
| * James_Epp goes to bed instead | 04:28 | |
| James_Epp | Thanks again, guys! | 04:28 |
| wxl | have fun | 04:29 |
| Unit193 | @reboot vboxmanage --startvm bob | 04:29 |
| gdi2k | hi, I'm using a minimal install of ubuntu to run openbox. I use lxappearance to change themes etc. but it seems broken. does anyone know exactly which files lxappearance is touching so I can delete them all and start from scratch? | 07:35 |
| gdi2k | (if I create a new user, lxappearance does its job correctly, so it must be something in my home dir causing the issues) | 07:35 |
| leszek | hi | 10:32 |
| Frank81 | hi frinds | 10:46 |
| Frank81 | i have a big problem since 13.04 firefox ist the standart browser and i realy need to change that coz there is something wrong when using mozilla thunderbid and i wanna open a link it simply opens new firefox window that is empty | 10:46 |
| Frank81 | so i whant chromium back but when i do sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser and choose chromium it has no result | 10:47 |
| Frank81 | Firefox ist still standart what can i do | 10:47 |
| new-user | on repositories the repos with "(source code)" what does it mean? | 11:55 |
| new-user | what is it? | 11:55 |
| new-user | help please? | 12:01 |
| utusan | how can I set SSID in the Network Manager applet in the panel? It only asks for enc key but you need SSID to connect. | 14:43 |
| holstein | utusan: add a connetion manually.. | 14:44 |
| utusan | holstein: thanks but where? I'd expect to do in NetwMgr but right/left click won't show any. It only show repair/disable? | 14:46 |
| holstein | utusan: i have "connect to hidden wifi network" in the menu.. maybe i have customized the manager i am using wth LXDE... | 14:47 |
| utusan | holstein: hmm, sorry but not good for end-user | 14:52 |
| utusan | holstein: also there is an edit on the add/remove panel dialog but not for NetMgr | 14:53 |
| utusan | holstein: I can add in interfaces but I don't want to bec I'd like it un-managed for kubuntu | 14:55 |
| holstein | utusan: when trying to connect to a hidden network, clicking on "connect to hidden network" is not good for the end user? | 14:55 |
| holstein | utusan: oh, i see.. you have "special" requirements that make the defaults not comfortable for you | 14:55 |
| utusan | holstein: I mean without is no good | 14:56 |
| utusan | holstein: end-user should be able to fill that in w/o customization as you need SSID/Key to connect | 14:57 |
| holstein | utusan: i can.. you should be able to as well.. | 14:57 |
| utusan | holstein: but NetMgr should be robust enough to tell me, uh uh, SSID is blank then I should ask. Don't you think so? | 15:01 |
| holstein | utusan: no.. and "robust" is not a goal of LXDE... "light" is | 15:02 |
| holstein | utusan: feel free and file a https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu/Wishlist or /join the mailing lists and suggest.. or fork any/all of these... | 15:03 |
| utusan | holstein: I won't argue but what good is 'light' if it doesn't work for most? AFAIK wireless connection is one of the most important if not the One in this mobile trend. | 15:06 |
| holstein | utusan: but, you *can* join a hidden network.. | 15:09 |
| Frank81 | hi frinds | 15:51 |
| Frank81 | i have a big problem since 13.04 firefox ist the standart browser and i realy need to change that coz there is something wrong when using mozilla thunderbid and i wanna open a link it simply opens new firefox window that is empty | 15:51 |
| Frank81 | so i whant chromium back but when i do sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser and choose chromium it has no result | 15:51 |
| Frank81 | Firefox ist still standart what can i do | 15:51 |
| n-iCe | hello guys! | 16:34 |
| Frank81 | hello n-iCe | 16:35 |
| n-iCe | how are you | 16:38 |
| Frank81 | i am not so good at present the new 13.04 Broke my Email Productivity :( | 16:39 |
| n-iCe | :( | 16:39 |
| Frank81 | they replaced Chromium with firefox and i cant switch it back with sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser and choose chromium it has no result still firefox is standart :( | 16:40 |
| Frank81 | but else all other is ok | 16:40 |
| wxl | Frank81: is the problem only when you click links in thunderbird? | 17:04 |
| Frank81 | wxl nope its general | 17:55 |
| wxl | Frank81: cuz i do know thunderbird has its own preferences | 17:55 |
| Frank81 | i created .html document and it is assigned to firefox too | 17:55 |
| Frank81 | wxl i was trying in own preferenzes of thunderbird i found nothing | 17:55 |
| wxl | Frank81: i'm not in front of a lubuntu right now but there's also a preferred applications in preferences if i remember correctly | 17:55 |
| Frank81 | and tryed even to overwrite with editn .js file in tb profil to change that but it don't applys | 17:56 |
| Unit193 | Check in ~/.local/share/ too. | 17:57 |
| wxl | Frank81: in thunderbird → preferences → attachments → incoming, set http and https to use chromium-browser | 17:57 |
| wxl | hopefully, too, when you say chromium, you mean chromium-browser | 17:58 |
| Frank81 | wxl there i can't add anything in my TB version | 17:58 |
| wxl | they should already be there | 17:59 |
| Frank81 | 4 content types are supplyed and this are standart files like zip and so on | 17:59 |
| Frank81 | nope no protocols and can't add any | 17:59 |
| Frank81 | Unit193: what is in ~/.local/share/applications ? | 18:00 |
| Frank81 | are that the standart apps? | 18:00 |
| Frank81 | coz there is a firefox.desktop file | 18:01 |
| Unit193 | ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list I think was what I may have been thinking. | 18:01 |
| wxl | Frank81: this may help with thunderbird if the more general approach doesn't do it http://kb.mozillazine.org/Actions_for_attachment_file_types | 18:02 |
| wxl | you know there is an obvious solution: get rid of firefox :) | 18:04 |
| Unit193 | Yep. | 18:05 |
| Frank81 | hmmmm but i do a lot of web dev | 18:06 |
| Frank81 | i need it for many good stuff | 18:06 |
| Frank81 | but not for my normal browsing needs since its not able to open whats send to it | 18:06 |
| Frank81 | maybe i should try a new mail client | 18:07 |
| Frank81 | ah but thats not a good solution too | 18:07 |
| Frank81 | there must be a way to intercept that stuff and force chromium to handle links | 18:08 |
| Frank81 | i cant belive it | 18:11 |
| ianorlin | what? | 18:12 |
| Frank81 | i searched trought the normal menu for system tools | 18:12 |
| ianorlin | what tool specifically are oyu looking for | 18:12 |
| Frank81 | i found a one that was working :D | 18:12 |
| Frank81 | libfm-pref-app | 18:13 |
| Frank81 | did work now he accepts chromium ^^ | 18:13 |
| Frank81 | a wounder happend | 18:13 |
| Frank81 | i can now click links again yaaaaa :D thats a time saver ^^ | 18:13 |
| * wxl waves to Kamilion | 20:05 | |
| wxl | oops wrong one :) | 20:05 |
| * wxl waves to karen_ | 20:05 | |
| karen_ | hahahaha o.k. so we're on Lubuntu Channel. | 20:06 |
| karen_ | Now, another question. So, In Xubuntu, I had Libre Office set up and in the Software I got a PDF new thing that helps it work better in Libre Office Writer, ummmm, now that I'm in Lubuntu, which I cleaned installed over Xubuntu yesterday, can I trust the PDF to work in Libre Office Writer that I just installed? | 20:09 |
| ianorlin | pdf new thing? | 20:11 |
| karen_ | ya, when I was in Xubuntu, I went to the Software Center, and downloaded some sort of PDF extra thing that made sure it worked in Libre Office Writer. I really don't know anything about that. Do you? | 20:13 |
| ianorlin | do you know the package name? | 20:13 |
| ianorlin | IF it was in the repositories you can still install it | 20:13 |
| Unit193 | libreoffice-pdfimport ? | 20:14 |
| karen_ | no, something about PDF, sorry. I just want PDF to work in my Libre Office writer. What is Libreoffice-pdfimport? | 20:14 |
| karen_ | Is anyone on this channel? | 20:26 |
| karen_ | I accidentally erased my time and date from my bottom panel when I was setting up Lubuntu yesterday. I do I get it back? | 20:27 |
| ianorlin | right clicking on the panel add remove panel options | 20:28 |
| karen_ | o.k. and then what? | 20:28 |
| ianorlin | add remove panel options | 20:29 |
| ianorlin | click add | 20:29 |
| ianorlin | choose digital clock | 20:29 |
| karen_ | o.k. hang on. I'm going to try it. | 20:30 |
| karen_ | Got it, but I would like to have date and regular time, not digital. How do I do that? | 20:32 |
| ianorlin | right click on the clock and select date and time | 20:33 |
| karen_ | it has only "digital clock settings". | 20:34 |
| karen_ | I guess you put some sort of command in the space for the settings it looks like. | 20:35 |
| karen_ | o.k. how do you set time and date with digital clock settings? | 20:42 |
| ianorlin | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/CustomizingTheClock | 20:42 |
| karen_ | k thanks | 20:43 |
| karen_ | Yeah! It worked! | 20:46 |
| MraMaria | hi. is "sudo apt-get install build-essential" needed to install lubuntu minimal? | 21:10 |
| Unit193 | If you want to compile something, that's generally a handy thing to have, but not for Lubuntu minimal. | 21:11 |
| MraMaria | ... because hi. i've installed Ubuntu13.04-64-mini, advanced mode, ubuntu basic server ... lubuntu minimal | 21:12 |
| MraMaria | hi/I | 21:12 |
| === karen is now known as Guest26230 | ||
| Guest26230 | hi, so I had some help from you guys in changing the digital clock to what I wanted, date and regular time. But, now every time I turn the computer back on, the digital army time comes on in front of my chosen date and time. How can I get rid of the digital army time? | 22:51 |
| Guest26230 | in Lubuntu | 22:51 |
| holstein | Guest26230: i think its just a 24 hour clock | 22:52 |
| holstein | Guest26230: are you talking about in the panel? | 22:52 |
| holstein | youy can "get rid of it" by removing | 22:52 |
| holstein | if you want to change it to a 12 hour clock, thats different.. which do you want? | 22:52 |
| Guest26230 | Well, I was sent to a site in Lubuntu where I cut and pasted the day, date, year, and time into the digital clock box. But, the digital 24 hr thing comes in front of all that when I turn the computer back on. | 22:54 |
| holstein | https://help.gnome.org/users/gthumb/unstable/gthumb-date-formats.html.en is what i reference, though im sure there are others | 22:55 |
| Guest26230 | o.k. thanks | 22:55 |
| Unit193 | Sounds like two applets. | 22:55 |
| Unit193 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/strftime | 22:55 |
| holstein | %l:%M is what i use.. and i agree, it sounds like you have an extra applet | 22:56 |
| Guest26230 | ya I think so | 23:00 |
| guest-5rh9g7 | guys, I somehow messed up my screen after I log in with my user name. When I log in as guest, is the screen I had wanted for my user name, but I messed up somehow. The normal things at the bottom panel that Lubuntu came with aren't there for the screen after my log in name. | 23:26 |
| guest-5rh9g7 | Sorry, does that make sense? | 23:27 |
| holstein | guest-5rh9g7: not really.. but let me suggest, you can remove the .config files in your /home if you want it to be as default | 23:29 |
| guest-5rh9g7 | how do you do that? | 23:30 |
| holstein | guest-5rh9g7: remove the config files? | 23:31 |
| holstein | you remove them.. open them with a filemanager, or however you are comfortable and remove or rename them | 23:32 |
| guest-5rh9g7 | ya how do I get the default screen to come up after I sign in as user. It's normal when I sign in as guest. | 23:32 |
| holstein | guest-5rh9g7: one way to accopmlish this "reset" is by removing the confg files in the users home | 23:32 |
| holstein | in ~/.confg and other .hidden folders | 23:33 |
| guest-5rh9g7 | I really am not Linux user smart here. Umm in the terminal? | 23:33 |
| holstein | guest-5rh9g7: in literally whatever place you like to edit files | 23:34 |
| holstein | guest-5rh9g7: a file manager is what i would use | 23:34 |
| holstein | if i had issues with permission, i would load up a live CD and do it | 23:34 |
| guest-5rh9g7 | I just clean installed this Linux over Xubuntu yesterday. dang I already have it screwed up. | 23:36 |
| guest-5rh9g7 | So, you would go into file manager and then what? | 23:37 |
