=== cdoublejj_ is now known as cdoublejj [01:19] If I wanted to download OpenOffice or something like that, I wouldn't be prohibited from do so, would I? === karen is now known as Guest22990 [04:11] Where on earth is the control panel? [04:11] James_Epp: for? [04:12] holstein: Everything in general. [04:14] James_Epp: try and be more specific.. [04:14] Generally, in System or Preferences. [04:15] ....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] !info lubuntu-control-center [04:15] Package lubuntu-control-center does not exist in raring [04:15] James_Epp: must be named something else [04:15] I'm running 12.04 [04:16] James_Epp: prefrences should be generally what you are looking or [04:16] for* [04:16] http://lubuntu.net/blog/lubuntu-screencast-lubuntu-control-center [04:17] ↑ read the comments for full details [04:17] suffice it to say it's not standard [04:17] it doesn't do anything you can't already do [04:19] I am really just looking for something so that I can edit startup applicaitons [04:19] applications* [04:20] wxl: Added the ppa, still cannot install package. [04:20] Start → Preferences → Desktop Session Settings → Automatically Started Applications [04:20] !ppa [04:20] 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] James_Epp: ppa's are not officially supported, thought, you are welcome to use them, and seek support from the manufacturers [04:21] Does anyone know of the package used in ubuntu that controls startup applications? [04:21] …and just so you know all of the applications listed there are defined in /etc/xdg/autostart [04:22] James_Epp: follow the path i gave you above [04:22] wxl: Didn't see that one, thanks! [04:22] the one that starts with "Start" [04:22] wxl: One problem.....no "add" button [04:23] so what do you want to add? [04:23] es [04:23] yes* [04:23] you want to add "yes?" [04:23] sorry, I thought you were asking if I want to add something *late at night* [04:23] you want your computer to start playng the band Yes when it starts up? :) [04:23] just a virtualbox --start-vm=vm thing [04:24] Should I just add a bash script to /etc/xdg/autostart ? [04:24] James_Epp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Boot_Install_Login#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_into_Desktop [04:25] Or add it to crontab. [04:25] long story short: make a .desktop file and put it in your local autostart [04:26] 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] it really doesn't take that much, but you're welcome to do what you wish [04:26] Headless, Xfce. Doesn't make sense. [04:26] :) [04:26] Unit193: Want me to explain the utility? [04:27] and by that, i mean....my project? [04:27] i would put a delay on it [04:27] let me guess: vrdp. [04:27] N0pe. [04:28] prolly take longer to explain then to set up your autostart [04:28] yup :) [04:28] so go get to work silly [04:28] * James_Epp goes to bed instead [04:28] Thanks again, guys! [04:29] have fun [04:29] @reboot vboxmanage --startvm bob [07:35] 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] (if I create a new user, lxappearance does its job correctly, so it must be something in my home dir causing the issues) [10:32] hi [10:46] hi frinds [10:46] 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 [10:47] 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] Firefox ist still standart what can i do [11:55] on repositories the repos with "(source code)" what does it mean? [11:55] what is it? [12:01] help please? [14:43] 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. [14:44] utusan: add a connetion manually.. [14:46] holstein: thanks but where? I'd expect to do in NetwMgr but right/left click won't show any. It only show repair/disable? [14:47] utusan: i have "connect to hidden wifi network" in the menu.. maybe i have customized the manager i am using wth LXDE... [14:52] holstein: hmm, sorry but not good for end-user [14:53] holstein: also there is an edit on the add/remove panel dialog but not for NetMgr [14:55] holstein: I can add in interfaces but I don't want to bec I'd like it un-managed for kubuntu [14:55] utusan: when trying to connect to a hidden network, clicking on "connect to hidden network" is not good for the end user? [14:55] utusan: oh, i see.. you have "special" requirements that make the defaults not comfortable for you [14:56] holstein: I mean without is no good [14:57] holstein: end-user should be able to fill that in w/o customization as you need SSID/Key to connect [14:57] utusan: i can.. you should be able to as well.. [15:01] holstein: but NetMgr should be robust enough to tell me, uh uh, SSID is blank then I should ask. Don't you think so? [15:02] utusan: no.. and "robust" is not a goal of LXDE... "light" is [15:03] 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... [15:06] 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. [15:09] utusan: but, you *can* join a hidden network.. [15:51] hi frinds [15:51] 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] 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] Firefox ist still standart what can i do [16:34] hello guys! [16:35] hello n-iCe [16:38] how are you [16:39] i am not so good at present the new 13.04 Broke my Email Productivity :( [16:39] :( [16:40] 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] but else all other is ok [17:04] Frank81: is the problem only when you click links in thunderbird? [17:55] wxl nope its general [17:55] Frank81: cuz i do know thunderbird has its own preferences [17:55] i created .html document and it is assigned to firefox too [17:55] wxl i was trying in own preferenzes of thunderbird i found nothing [17:55] Frank81: i'm not in front of a lubuntu right now but there's also a preferred applications in preferences if i remember correctly [17:56] and tryed even to overwrite with editn .js file in tb profil to change that but it don't applys [17:57] Check in ~/.local/share/ too. [17:57] Frank81: in thunderbird → preferences → attachments → incoming, set http and https to use chromium-browser [17:58] hopefully, too, when you say chromium, you mean chromium-browser [17:58] wxl there i can't add anything in my TB version [17:59] they should already be there [17:59] 4 content types are supplyed and this are standart files like zip and so on [17:59] nope no protocols and can't add any [18:00] Unit193: what is in ~/.local/share/applications ? [18:00] are that the standart apps? [18:01] coz there is a firefox.desktop file [18:01] ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list I think was what I may have been thinking. [18:02] Frank81: this may help with thunderbird if the more general approach doesn't do it http://kb.mozillazine.org/Actions_for_attachment_file_types [18:04] you know there is an obvious solution: get rid of firefox :) [18:05] Yep. [18:06] hmmmm but i do a lot of web dev [18:06] i need it for many good stuff [18:06] but not for my normal browsing needs since its not able to open whats send to it [18:07] maybe i should try a new mail client [18:07] ah but thats not a good solution too [18:08] there must be a way to intercept that stuff and force chromium to handle links [18:11] i cant belive it [18:12] what? [18:12] i searched trought the normal menu for system tools [18:12] what tool specifically are oyu looking for [18:12] i found a one that was working :D [18:13] libfm-pref-app [18:13] did work now he accepts chromium ^^ [18:13] a wounder happend [18:13] i can now click links again yaaaaa :D thats a time saver ^^ [20:05] * wxl waves to Kamilion [20:05] oops wrong one :) [20:05] * wxl waves to karen_ [20:06] hahahaha o.k. so we're on Lubuntu Channel. [20:09] 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? [20:11] pdf new thing? [20:13] 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] do you know the package name? [20:13] IF it was in the repositories you can still install it [20:14] libreoffice-pdfimport ? [20:14] no, something about PDF, sorry. I just want PDF to work in my Libre Office writer. What is Libreoffice-pdfimport? [20:26] Is anyone on this channel? [20:27] I accidentally erased my time and date from my bottom panel when I was setting up Lubuntu yesterday. I do I get it back? [20:28] right clicking on the panel add remove panel options [20:28] o.k. and then what? [20:29] add remove panel options [20:29] click add [20:29] choose digital clock [20:30] o.k. hang on. I'm going to try it. [20:32] Got it, but I would like to have date and regular time, not digital. How do I do that? [20:33] right click on the clock and select date and time [20:34] it has only "digital clock settings". [20:35] I guess you put some sort of command in the space for the settings it looks like. [20:42] o.k. how do you set time and date with digital clock settings? [20:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/CustomizingTheClock [20:43] k thanks [20:46] Yeah! It worked! [21:10] hi. is "sudo apt-get install build-essential" needed to install lubuntu minimal? [21:11] If you want to compile something, that's generally a handy thing to have, but not for Lubuntu minimal. [21:12] ... because hi. i've installed Ubuntu13.04-64-mini, advanced mode, ubuntu basic server ... lubuntu minimal [21:12] hi/I === karen is now known as Guest26230 [22:51] 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] in Lubuntu [22:52] Guest26230: i think its just a 24 hour clock [22:52] Guest26230: are you talking about in the panel? [22:52] youy can "get rid of it" by removing [22:52] if you want to change it to a 12 hour clock, thats different.. which do you want? [22:54] 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. [22:55] https://help.gnome.org/users/gthumb/unstable/gthumb-date-formats.html.en is what i reference, though im sure there are others [22:55] o.k. thanks [22:55] Sounds like two applets. [22:55] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/strftime [22:56] %l:%M is what i use.. and i agree, it sounds like you have an extra applet [23:00] ya I think so [23:26] 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. [23:27] Sorry, does that make sense? [23:29] 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 [23:30] how do you do that? [23:31] guest-5rh9g7: remove the config files? [23:32] you remove them.. open them with a filemanager, or however you are comfortable and remove or rename them [23:32] 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] guest-5rh9g7: one way to accopmlish this "reset" is by removing the confg files in the users home [23:33] in ~/.confg and other .hidden folders [23:33] I really am not Linux user smart here. Umm in the terminal? [23:34] guest-5rh9g7: in literally whatever place you like to edit files [23:34] guest-5rh9g7: a file manager is what i would use [23:34] if i had issues with permission, i would load up a live CD and do it [23:36] I just clean installed this Linux over Xubuntu yesterday. dang I already have it screwed up. [23:37] So, you would go into file manager and then what?
