| ReggieMan | Does the top-left arrow symbol on a file icon mean it's a shortcut, a bit like in Windows? If so, how do I find where it leads? | 03:15 |
|---|---|---|
| SonikkuAmerica | You can check the target in the Properties dialog (accessible from the right-click menu in PCManFM or from the desktop) | 03:23 |
| ReggieMan | Thanks, don't know how I didn't see that/ | 03:25 |
| ReggieMan | I opened a file in Leafpad, and now Leafpad's stuck on the contect menu of every file of the same type. How do I remove it? | 03:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ReggieMan: Do you know its extension? | 03:31 |
| ReggieMan | Doesn't have an extension, but properties says it's an executable. | 03:32 |
| dibcrackers | hello!! how to down printer port 631/tcp? | 03:57 |
| dibcrackers | unistall o disable daemon cups? | 04:00 |
| holstein | dibcrackers: how to down printer? | 04:01 |
| ReggieMan | dibcrackers: Could you be more clear? | 04:02 |
| holstein | ReggieMan: you have set leafpad as the default application for that type of file | 04:02 |
| Unit193 | Could check for leafpad in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list | 04:03 |
| ReggieMan | No, but it's listen above 'Open With...'. | 04:03 |
| ReggieMan | Unit193: It's there! | 04:04 |
| dibcrackers | ReggieMan when autosstart system the port 631 is open but init cups,(printer server service) | 04:04 |
| holstein | dibcrackers: what are you trying to do? | 04:05 |
| dibcrackers | dont open 631 port autostart! | 04:05 |
| ReggieMan | dibcrackers: I don't think I can help you, it just didn't seem clear, even to people who may be able to help you. | 04:05 |
| holstein | !firewall | dibcrackers | 04:05 |
| ubottu | dibcrackers: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 04:05 |
| Unit193 | holstein: Default is to bind to 127.0.0.1, so not that type of issue. | 04:05 |
| holstein | dibcrackers: block or close what port you like.. or remove what service or services you dont want | 04:06 |
| ReggieMan | Unit193: Thankyou! | 04:06 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 04:06 |
| dibcrackers | ok thanks , but i want to disable only the port ... | 04:06 |
| Unit193 | dibcrackers: I *think* it'd work to comment out Listen localhost:631 in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf | 04:06 |
| holstein | it will make it not 'listen'.. if the port is "open", it'll still be open | 04:07 |
| holstein | AFAIK.. | 04:07 |
| holstein | im just not following the goal.. but it seems like Unit193 is making headway :) | 04:08 |
| dibcrackers | thzx Unit! edit de config.. | 04:08 |
| Unit193 | holstein: To a very quick break, eyp! ;) | 04:08 |
| imark | does anyone know if there will be a lubuntu lts introduced now the standard support cycle has been axed to 9 months? | 14:36 |
| imark | if not I can foresee a lot of people bailing on lubuntu soon | 14:36 |
| ReggieMan | I've somehow misaligned 'System Tools' from it's separators with 'Preferences' in the Menu while messing around with it to add an item. How can I fix this? | 15:20 |
| ReggieMan | Deleting ~/.config/menus/ fixed it. | 15:42 |
| karen_ | Hi, I needed an office that had PDF in Lubuntu, so I got rid of Abiword and put in Libre Office. I had recently cleaned installed Lubuntu over Xubuntu. When I was using Xubuntu, I had downloaded from the software center libreoffice-pdfimport which lets you edit a pdf. What I want to know is if pdfimport lets you edit your own PDF that your sending off or what is that and is there a version of it for Lubuntu that I can put in Libre Offic | 16:11 |
| karen_ | e? | 16:11 |
| karen_ | I see there is MuPDF in Lubuntu Software that is a PDF viewer and editor, I believe you can edit in it too. | 16:14 |
| karen_ | but, I don't know how that works with my own PDF i would want to send off. | 16:15 |
| karen_ | To be honest, I've never sent a PDF before and feel a bit intimidated. So, need a little help. | 16:36 |
| karen_ | I don't think you can edit in PDF alone, right? | 16:39 |
| lokote_jones | Does lubuntu support ATI-mobile video cards? I was using crunchbang but my laptop got SUPER hot due to non-existant support for ATI cards from an older era. | 21:31 |
| wxl | lokote_jones: my experience that this is a problem with some old ATI-mobile cards due to the fact that many require UMS and the standard for THE LINUX KERNEL (note: NOT a Lubuntu problem per se) is to use KMS only | 21:32 |
| wxl | naturally i'm generalizing based on a very specific experience so ymmv but it's probably applicable | 21:33 |
| lokote_jones | Will I have the option to pick KMS mode for ATI Radeon HD 3200? | 21:33 |
| lokote_jones | Or will I just do an install and my butt mileage will let me know if my laptop is super hot? | 21:33 |
| wxl | well i don't have that card so hard to say | 21:33 |
| lokote_jones | NP. It IS an older laptop but that was always the draw of linux to me. It worked with my older hardware. lol. If I am able to get it working in an acceptable manner does Lubuntu have a place I can give a status report on the hardware? | 21:34 |
| wxl | well lspci will give you information, as will system profiler | 21:35 |
| wxl | my old laptop has some old ATI junk in it and it uses the default driver which is not good at all. i have all sorts of problems with it. but i just deal with it. i'll get a new laptop eventually :) | 21:36 |
| wxl | i could probably roll my own kernel to get around the problem but that's too much effort for an old piece of hardware | 21:37 |
| lokote_jones | Cool. I just use it for keeping track of characters when I play dungeuns and dragons. | 21:40 |
| lokote_jones | But I added a solid state drive and it has 2 gigs of ram so I can use it for office related stuff too. | 21:40 |
| wxl | just run everything in console XD | 21:41 |
| lokote_jones | I did in crunchbang. =) I even had a command line dice roller. haha | 21:41 |
| lokote_jones | I used VIM for keeping notes and junk and the "roll" command for dice and I was GTG. | 21:41 |
| wxl | there you go! | 21:42 |
| lokote_jones | I was known as "The Uber Nerd" at the table. lol. | 21:42 |
| wxl | hahahahah | 21:42 |
| wxl | totally offtopic for lubuntu support, but here's a fun link you'll probably enjoy: http://io9.com/5958203/is-this-the-oldest-d20-on-earth | 21:43 |
| lokote_jones | Ill check it out. Thanks =) | 21:43 |
| wxl | oh! what laptop is this btw? | 21:43 |
| lokote_jones | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834114801 | 21:43 |
| lokote_jones | That is the exact laptop | 21:43 |
| lokote_jones | But I upgraded the HD with a solid state drive | 21:43 |
| lokote_jones | Off topic - My best friend bought me a D20 made out of a meteor. It's in a display case and apparently very expensive so I never roll it. But it feels good to know I have a space rock that I can use for playing D20 Star Wars. hah | 21:44 |
| wxl | XD | 21:45 |
| wxl | yeah now i'm remembering | 21:46 |
| wxl | i could use old drivers but it would require me to hold back all of x, which is, as i'm sure you can imagine, likely to lead to other problems | 21:46 |
| wxl | here's a bit of discussion on that subject http://askubuntu.com/questions/202979/ati-radeon-hd-3200-very-slow-performance | 21:46 |
| phillw | you can swap your hardware info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hardware always handy yo have an entry there for if you have, say, grapics issues :) | 21:46 |
| phillw | *graphics* | 21:46 |
| lokote_jones | wxl: Thanks! I even wouldn't mind running a distrobution that was entirely CLI if I could find one that did VIM, wireless networking, and roll dice... | 21:47 |
| lokote_jones | phillw: Thanks; Ill try to get morei nto the ubuntu docs. | 21:48 |
| wxl | i found dead end after dead end to my probelm | 21:48 |
| wxl | it's kind of a combination of amd sucking and the kernel development heading in a different direction | 21:48 |
| lokote_jones | wxl: My only gripe with my laptop is that it uses that crummy ATI integrated thingy. I wish it was nvidia. That laptop would be perfect. | 21:50 |
| wxl | welcome to the world of mobile lokote_jones :/ | 21:51 |
| lokote_jones | wxl: LOL. Thanks. hahaha. | 21:52 |
| wxl | XD | 21:52 |
| wxl | mine's a thinkpad and i love it frankly | 21:52 |
| wxl | i could throw it against the ground and i'm quite convinced it would work fine afterwards | 21:53 |
| wxl | but, just like you, integrated ATI :/ | 21:53 |
| lokote_jones | I wouldn't trust my laptop to any bumps. But I used it to play D&D at a renaisance faire once.... So it harrowed its most dangerous adventure yet just fine. | 21:54 |
| wxl | XD | 21:54 |
| lokote_jones | wxl: See you around. Will leave my system logged but I will be AFK for a while. Getting off work. Bye! =) Thanks for the help! | 21:54 |
| wxl | have a good one lokote_jones ! | 21:55 |
| phillw | you'd have to look my graphics up on my link on that area. I guess I've just been lucky, only ever needed one 'non-free' GUI driver in over 20 laptops I've installed. | 21:55 |
| wxl | phillw: lucky is a fair word for it | 21:55 |
| wxl | it also depends on how ancient your hardware is XD | 21:55 |
| phillw | latest machine is a PB win 7, I tend to stick to Acers for older kit :) | 21:57 |
| Evropi1 | hey all | 22:57 |
| ianorlin | hello | 22:57 |
| Evropi1 | is there any easy way to switch between keyboard layouts | 22:57 |
| Evropi1 | a la KDE | 22:57 |
| ianorlin | at the same time or change it once? | 22:58 |
| Evropi1 | change it with a keyboard shortcut, such as Alt+Shift | 22:59 |
| Evropi1 | is it possible without, say, pulling in Xfce? | 22:59 |
| ianorlin | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Keyboard | 22:59 |
| Evropi1 | thanks | 23:01 |
| Evropi1 | LXDE should really get around to sorting that out... | 23:01 |
| Evropi1 | anyway thank you very very much, bb | 23:01 |
