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