[03:07] <Privacee> is there a way to easy snap windows to half the screen just like in Windows 7?
[03:07] <Privacee> easily*
[03:29] <holstein> Privacee: pepperintOS uses the xfce window manager with lxde.. and it has some snap features that do that.. but any more comples and arguably heavier window manager you want to use should do the trick
[03:29] <holstein> at some point, you might just want to use XFCE
[03:31] <ianorlin> hmm on lxde texworks starts half screen
[03:39] <Privacee> i recall reading a lightweight app that allows you to press a keyboard shortcut to snap screens the same way, do you know what it is called?
[03:40] <holstein> i mean, xfcewm isnt heavy
[03:40] <Privacee> yeah, but if i switch to xfce i might as well use Mint Mate
[03:40] <ianorlin> skippy XD in a ppa?
[03:42] <holstein> Privacee: as i said, xfce window manager can be used in lxde..
[03:43] <Privacee> that is basically making my own distro and i'm not skilled enough to fix any problems, you wouldn't support me
[03:43] <holstein> Privacee: those are all repo packages
[03:44] <Privacee> is there an easy way to revert box to openbox if i experience problems?
[03:45] <Privacee> back*
[03:48] <holstein> Privacee: AFAIK.. you will specify whichever you want.. try that peppermint live CD i mentioned and see how they are doing it, and if you like it.
[03:48] <holstein> you can learn to implement it in LXDE if its what you are looking for
[04:09] <Privacee> do sysrq commands work for you in lubuntu?
[04:15] <Privacee> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19X0gng_-qk
[04:32] <Privacee> holstein, is Xubuntu an official Ubuntu release? or do you recommend something else
[04:32] <holstein> Privacee: lubuntu is.. xubuntu is
[04:32] <holstein> Privacee: i can only recomment what will work for you
[14:00] <lokote_jones> After much googling; I am still unconfident in what I have found. Can ANYONE confirm that there is absolutely no way for me to get hardware acceleration out of my Radeon Hd3200 mobility video card in Lubuntu? Is it possible to accelerate the card using the open source driver since the proprietary dropped support for it?
[14:13] <phillw> lokote_jones: I'd suggest looking on / asking on http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=334
[14:22] <lokote_jones> phillw: There are lots of posts about people trying to get it to work; and it is confirmed that there are NO proprietary drivers for it. But I want to find out more about the open source driver and can't find anything on it. Do you know of a lubuntuubuntu specific site for graphics drivers or something? I just want to be able to run glxgears and see bigger numbers thna 200 lol!
[14:25] <phillw> lokote_jones: the best resource I know of the sticky on that forum I linked above.
[14:26] <lokote_jones> phillw: NP. Thanks. Appreciate the answer. =( I really like lubuntu so far; just want the extra juice from HW acceleration. Thanks again!
[15:03] <saml> hey

[15:04] <saml> i did Alt+F1 and connected to irc
[18:38] <hpuser4477> What's the trick to get scanner working with Brother DCP-150C
[18:38] <hpuser4477> I installed the drivers. Printer works.  Scanner doesn't.
[18:39] <hpuser4477> Xsane can't detect scanner.
[18:39] <hpuser4477> Is there a command to probe the scanner?
[18:48] <phillw> hpuser4477: I suggest grabbing the download from http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_scn.html
[19:08] <hpuser4466> I downloaded the drivers from brother and installed them (including brscan2 for scanner) but scanner still not detected.
[19:09] <hpuser4466> Yes the drivers installed without error.
[19:11] <hpuser4466> I think my lubuntu has messed up because apt-get says linux-image-generic isn't configured properly.
[19:11] <hpuser4466> System keeps upgrading/configuring the kernel.
[19:13] <melodie> hpuser4466 install the packages:
[19:13] <melodie> gutentprint, foomatic-gutenprint, and all related having this name in it
[19:13] <melodie> then reboot with the printer connected and running
[19:14] <hpuser4466> well the printers work, but not scanner. That's the problem
[19:14] <melodie> about scanner you also need sane xsane and all the kind. ok ?
[19:15] <hpuser4466> yeah i installed xsane. I'll check again to make sure everying is installed and configured properly. Thanks
[19:23] <hpuser4466> i had grub-legacy installed. that was causing the kernel config problem. Fixed by installing grub2. Now to troubleshoot scanner.
[19:28] <novato> could you help me please? There is a Brazilian community that operating system here on IRC?
[19:29] <Unit193> !br
[19:30] <hpuser4466> Has anyone tested Vuescan (scanner software) in lubuntu?  Vuescan supports over 2000 scanners but won't detect my brother scanner in lubuntu.
[19:31] <novato> I know that the ubuntu community, I would like to know the Lubuntu.
[19:32] <phillw> hpuser4466: I've never tried it, I use canon scanners and hp / epson printers. They seem better supported. But that brscan2 from brother *should* work on 11.10 and onward releases.
[19:32] <phillw> what version are you running? grub 2 was launched quite a while back!
[19:32] <Unit193> novato: There's no difference.
[19:33] <novato> Thank you then.
[19:35] <hpuser4466> phillw..lubuntu (or ubuntu-lxde-desktop) 12.04 with all updates/upgrades installed
[19:36] <phillw> hpuser4466: you should not have been on grub legacy?
[19:37] <phillw> hpuser4466: Grub version 1.99 became the default on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)
[19:39] <hpuser4466> i installed grub-legacy to make some usb boot devices. I'm back with grub2 now.
[19:42] <hpuser4466> i know, i'll try the brother scan tool
[19:43] <phillw> hpuser4466: I thought you'd have grabbed that one as well :)
[19:43] <hpuser4466> no i didn't think i'd need it.
[19:43] <hpuser4466> i only installed the printer drives and brscan2 driver
[19:43] <phillw> motto of the story... grab everything :D
[19:43] <phillw> you can always uninstall :)
[19:47] <phillw> for usb boot devices, I've found that http://live.learnfree.eu/download still works, they're doing the work to get the updated version into the official repos.
[19:53] <hpuser4466> I was using the usb-creator-gtk. Worked ok to setup a live usb/installer.
[19:54] <hpuser4466> <back to the scanner. This might take a while to test so i'll leave you in peace. Bye
[21:18] <lokote_jones> Is there any documentation on using Lubuntu to be more private/secure? Like what software to use, how to handle things... If not; can I write something and like present it or something? Somehow get people to see Linux as something better than say Windows and explain how to use it to be better protected?
[21:19] <bioterror> well
[21:20] <bioterror> COPY \windows\system32\cmd.exe \windows\system32\sethc.exe requires admin rights, but with GNU/Linux you dont need even that, you can just init=/bin/bash
