TDChief | Hey everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble installing LXLE on an old (2007) laptop - it seems to be freezing at 'parsing digital output script table'. I'm a first time Linux user, so any help would be appreciated | 02:02 |
---|---|---|
holstein | TDChief: try lubuntu | 02:06 |
bioterror | nice wallpapers that LXLE has | 04:59 |
jared | I never understood LXLE - it seems like just fragmentation for fragmentation's sake. | 06:54 |
TheSchaf | hi! so i want to stop lightdm and then launch some application with xinit. if i just make a sh script with "stop lightdm, xinit ..." all i get is a black screen with a blinking caret... however when i stop lightdm first and then go to ctrl+alt+f1 and do the xinit from there it works fine. any ideas how i can make my script work? | 10:09 |
bioterror | dont start lightdm and use .xinitrc for example | 10:11 |
bioterror | and make your system boot directly to the text mode | 10:11 |
TheSchaf | mhh but i'm using lightdm as some kind of launcher :) | 10:12 |
TheSchaf | so i guess i have to create a real launcher, thx | 10:12 |
bioterror | I remember when the lightdm was coming | 10:12 |
bioterror | and there was some problems with it, so I booted myself into the text mode and then used .xinitrc | 10:12 |
bioterror | worked like a charm | 10:13 |
TheSchaf | so how do i boot to text mode? :D | 10:13 |
bioterror | add to boot line "text" | 10:13 |
TheSchaf | ah, boot option, ok | 10:14 |
bioterror | yeah | 10:14 |
bioterror | init=/bin/blaablaa text | 10:14 |
TheSchaf | i'll try, thanks | 10:18 |
TheSchaf | first i have to make a loader now :) | 10:18 |
voyager | which of these apps is lightweight and which do you recommend will work well with Lubuntu? thanks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager#Third_party_tiling_applications_on_Xorg | 10:23 |
=== wizonesolutions_ is now known as wizonesolutions | ||
voyager | can anyone on here help? | 10:37 |
bioterror | why not just use tiling wm then? | 10:39 |
voyager | lubuntu will no longer support me if i do | 10:42 |
bioterror | it's all about decissions | 10:48 |
Ashif | hi | 10:49 |
Ashif | how can i become a member in lubuntu | 10:50 |
bioterror | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/GettingInvolved | 10:50 |
TheSchaf | how can i setup lubuntu to not start lightdm but to auto-login and auto run some script (with sudo?) :) | 14:14 |
TheSchaf | nvm, managed it :) | 14:30 |
really | does anyone on this channel help? | 17:54 |
bioterror | no | 17:54 |
bioterror | we just idle | 17:54 |
bioterror | but you can tell us your problem | 17:54 |
bioterror | we might help if we know a solution | 17:55 |
bioterror | it's always worth to ask | 17:55 |
bioterror | last time I checked, it only costs time :D | 17:55 |
really | is the windows key used for anything in lubuntu? | 18:03 |
bioterror | it's called super | 18:04 |
bioterror | you can bind it to open terminals and browsers | 18:04 |
really | how do you bind | 18:04 |
bioterror | with lubuntu-rc.xml file | 18:04 |
really | what's the command for that thanks | 18:05 |
bioterror | http://www.lubuntutips.com/2012/05/lubuntu-hotkeys-keybindings.html | 18:05 |
bioterror | ps | 18:05 |
bioterror | do not "sudo leafpad" | 18:05 |
bioterror | !sudo | 18:05 |
ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 18:05 |
bioterror | Unit193, what was the command to explain why sudo was bad with GUI editor, and escpecially with stuff inside your home folder :D | 18:06 |
really | what is the command to set a program to autostart | 18:07 |
bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Boot_Install_Login#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_into_Desktop | 18:08 |
really | omg | 18:18 |
really | why is there not a simple gui to add a new autostart program just like Ubuntu or Mint? | 18:19 |
bioterror | becouse you have not coded it yet | 18:20 |
really | Lubuntu is over 5 years old, do the developers just get the latest LXDE and Ubuntu package it together and nothing else? | 18:21 |
phillw | the lubuntu developers are the lxde developers :) | 18:22 |
bioterror | really, you got it almost right | 18:22 |
bioterror | they just update the packages when they can from flying around the glove in expense of canonical | 18:22 |
phillw | it was close enough as an easy explanation :) | 18:22 |
bioterror | the globe | 18:22 |
really | how often is LXDE updated anyways? isn't there just 1 developer developing LXDE? | 18:23 |
really | i can't believe i always promote Lubuntu lol | 18:23 |
really | an OS is suppose to make things easier to do | 18:23 |
bioterror | what's so difficult? | 18:23 |
bioterror | I find it more difficult to touch mouse than type one command with keyboard | 18:24 |
really | you need to code things to make changes | 18:24 |
bioterror | I have to lift my hand and grab the mouse | 18:24 |
bioterror | then move it around | 18:24 |
really | if that was the case people who use computers in the world will just be using terminals | 18:24 |
bioterror | then everybody would be as cool as the matrix movie is | 18:25 |
really | if i am autostarting a python command in the autostart config file do i put @python2.7 /...filelocation/asd.py -d | 18:27 |
bioterror | I would make a file into /usr/local/bin/ and execute it | 18:29 |
bioterror | like /usr/local/bin/fooobar | 18:29 |
bioterror | it would contain the line to execute that python comand or something like that | 18:29 |
bioterror | and then chmod +x /usr/local/bin/fooobar | 18:29 |
bioterror | and now you have a command to execute on startup | 18:30 |
bioterror | but that's just me | 18:30 |
bioterror | I'm a guy who uses cat and then |less | 18:30 |
really | oh so does " @python2.7 /...filelocation/asd.py -d" work also? | 18:30 |
bioterror | try | 18:30 |
really | lol | 18:31 |
really | yeah, its about time lubuntu develop a simple GUI to add new startup programs | 18:38 |
really | they can just easily take it from any popular distro like ubuntu or mint | 18:38 |
really | do developers even listen to user concerns or they will just do what they feel like doing, which isn't much lol | 18:40 |
really | honestly, does anyone on this channel have close contact with Lubuntu developers? | 18:40 |
bioterror | did you just come here to rant about things? | 18:42 |
really | bioterror, do you use lubuntu? | 18:42 |
bioterror | nope, I'm just using Windows 7 | 18:42 |
bioterror | I can just drag and drop to "autostart" | 18:42 |
really | yeah, windows 7 is actually a good OS and i have i set to default on dual boot mainly for gaming, but i have security and privacy concerns about it | 18:43 |
bioterror | me too. I just installed flux thingie for the display and mystical shortcuts appeared on my desktop | 18:44 |
really | there are a lot of good third party apps for Windows | 18:45 |
really | not a lot of app developers develop of Linux because new releases tend to "break" the apps | 18:46 |
really | for* | 18:46 |
really | linux desktop is only good for the basics | 18:47 |
bioterror | we could continue this discussion on #lubuntu-offtopic | 18:48 |
really | sure | 18:48 |
bioterror | this channel is mainly for problem solving | 18:48 |
really | btw, if you contact the developers i highly recommend they include a new lightweight app in their new release | 18:49 |
bioterror | well | 18:49 |
really | an app called QuickTile, which is lightweight since it does not use compiz | 18:49 |
bioterror | you can suggest these things about week or two after the release | 18:49 |
bioterror | when they start brainstorming the next release | 18:49 |
really | well you seem more knolwedgeable about how releases work and such, so i'll leave that to you | 18:50 |
bioterror | do not leave it to me | 18:50 |
bioterror | I might come and go, you never know :D | 18:50 |
bioterror | and I'm not a fan of tiling wm's | 18:51 |
really | trust me you should install QuickTile yourself it makes life easier | 18:51 |
bioterror | does it work like windows has windows key + arrow keys? | 18:51 |
really | you don't need to use the mouse to resize your windows | 18:51 |
really | yeah similar | 18:51 |
bioterror | I decided to grab a saucy iso | 19:01 |
bioterror | seems like the installer doesnt like if I do /dev/sda1 into swap and /dev/sda5 into / with brtfs | 19:34 |
bioterror | I should have used cfdisk | 19:34 |
katkisson | I like the idea of clonezilla to back up data. Is there a way to know how many MB my system has on it right now? | 20:12 |
bioterror | df -h | 20:12 |
katkisson | thanks! | 20:12 |
katkisson_ | So, does /dev/sdal tell the whole MB amount for the system? | 20:16 |
katkisson_ | I went to df -h | 20:16 |
bioterror | yes if you have one partition | 20:16 |
bioterror | it would be / | 20:16 |
bioterror | if you have more partitions, then you have to use your math skills | 20:16 |
katkisson_ | When I downloaded Lubuntu, I had them use it all. Does that mean one partition? | 20:17 |
ganjika | how may i establish a high contrast color resolution? | 20:40 |
