| mnub | hi | 02:07 |
|---|---|---|
| mnub | is it ok to set swap partition to twice my ram | 02:07 |
| holstein | mnub: sure | 02:19 |
| mnub | file system type as ext 4 | 02:19 |
| mnub | ? | 02:20 |
| holstein | doesnt matter.. just make a swap partition in addition to your other ones | 02:20 |
| mnub | there are no swaps | 02:20 |
| holstein | mnub: thats why you are wanting to manually create one, correct? | 02:21 |
| holstein | mnub: it's still a lot like this http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/04/manual-disk-partitioning-guide-for-ubuntu-11-04/ | 02:22 |

| skippythekangoo | morning... | 08:47 |
| skippythekangoo | puis avoir une invitation pour #lubuntu-fr, svp ? | 08:48 |
| leszek | hi | 11:51 |
| Unit193 | Howdy. | 11:52 |
| melodie | hi, does someone know how programs are displayd in the Menu System rather than in Preferences? | 20:16 |
| ianorlin | .desktop are what I think makes them work | 20:24 |
| melodie | I ask again, does someone know how programs are displayd in the Menu System rather than in Preferences? | 21:30 |
| melodie | no one ? :) | 21:32 |
| brainwash | melodie: the Categories= parameter specified in the .desktop app launcher file | 21:33 |
| melodie | hi brainwash | 21:33 |
| melodie | so why does it show in Lubuntu and not in Openbox with Lxpanel + lxmenu-data installed, but it shows in Preferences? This is really my question | 21:33 |
| brainwash | take a look at he .desktop files located in /usr/share/applications/ | 21:33 |
| melodie | already done | 21:33 |
| melodie | of course they are the same desktop files: ie synaptic.desktop, gparted.destkop... | 21:34 |
| melodie | but don't fall into the same category menu and I can't seem to find why | 21:34 |
| brainwash | different menu files? | 21:34 |
| melodie | no of course, they come from the same packages/same repos | 21:35 |
| brainwash | no clue then | 21:35 |
| melodie | too bad :-( | 21:36 |
| melodie | another examples are "users and groups", grub customizer, usb creator-gtk : all should be in System, as in Lubuntu, but they all fall into Preferences | 21:37 |
| brainwash | lubuntu ships a custom lxde-applications.menu | 21:37 |
| melodie | oh ho ! | 21:38 |
| melodie | that's interesting | 21:38 |
| brainwash | see /etc/xdg/lubuntu/menus/ | 21:38 |
| melodie | then I will give it a try | 21:38 |
| melodie | yes ok ! | 21:38 |
| brainwash | it's provided by the package lubuntu-default-settings | 21:38 |
| melodie | thanks for the tip | 21:38 |
| brainwash | :) | 21:38 |
| melodie | great! | 21:38 |
| melodie | I'll try it immediatly | 21:39 |
| melodie | I'm downloading from Synaptic now, with the no-install option | 21:44 |
| ianorlin | ah that is also where the lxgames menu is kept | 21:53 |
| impossible | im trying to add a ppa | 23:05 |
| impossible | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mumble/release/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found | 23:05 |
| impossible | why no mumble :( | 23:05 |
| brainwash | impossible: well, contact the PPA maintainer | 23:07 |
| impossible | okay! | 23:07 |
| melodie | brainwash : your help has solved my menus! | 23:19 |
| brainwash | melodie: great :) | 23:19 |
| melodie | I can use it to solve the menus mess in the next remix with openbox I will do that's so great* | 23:19 |
| melodie | ! | 23:19 |
| melodie | and Lubuntu starts to be very fast and has lots of possibilities | 23:20 |
| melodie | I was diving into the /etc/xdg/lubuntu directory, there is an incredible work there in the xml files! really amazing | 23:21 |
| Meris | How can I connect to a X-Radius :: WPA2 network requiring a certificate keypair? The eduroam network at my university requires this and I can't find any correct setting to connect to that network | 23:25 |
| Meris | On MacOSX I can define a new network connection and things go easy from there. This network connection dialogue seems to lack the required options. | 23:26 |
| Meris | In fact it's a PEAP network. Would the LEAP network type be a useful entry here? | 23:27 |
| melodie | Meris is it in gnome network manager that you are looking? | 23:29 |
| melodie | and did you also happen to ask at the #ubuntu chan? | 23:30 |
| impossible | do you all use pidgin for IRC | 23:31 |
| impossible | wondering | 23:31 |
| brainwash | impossible: why do you assume this? | 23:31 |
| brainwash | pidgin is only one of many irc clients | 23:32 |
| impossible | i know, im not assuming. im just asking what people use | 23:32 |
| impossible | i meant to ask as a question to see what others use. | 23:33 |
| Meris | emelodie, not that I'm aware of, I use OpenBox with LXDE | 23:33 |
| Meris | impossible, I use X-Chat | 23:33 |
| melodie | I also use Xchat | 23:34 |
| brainwash | I guess #lubuntu-offtopic would be the right place for your question | 23:34 |
| Meris | brainwash, please address someone in your answer so it's clear who you are addressing with your answer. | 23:34 |
| melodie | Meris it's probably not for you, you are asking a tech question | 23:35 |
| brainwash | yeah, whatever | 23:35 |
| melodie | Meris I would suppose right now you are using an Ethernet connection? Or a connection from elsewhere? | 23:36 |
| melodie | you might want to check if the gui configuration tool is network-manager | 23:36 |
| impossible | sound is not playing from my audio jack but rather television. how do i change audio output | 23:37 |
| melodie | I can't help more, I don't know about these network types of setups | 23:37 |
| Meris | melodie, I'm using an Etheternet connection indeed, through Wifi. And it appears I'm using nm-applet, which sounds like network manager. Yet on Ubuntu I do have the right options, not here on Lubuntu though... | 23:39 |
| melodie | with the same nm-applet? | 23:39 |
| melodie | and the same version of Ubuntu vs Lubuntu? | 23:39 |
| ianorlin | I thought it was the same | 23:40 |
| Meris | melodie, no the version of Ubuntu I use on my Desktop is 12.04, my Lubuntu version I'm using to connect is 13.10. Normally later versions will be more advanced, not the other way around... | 23:41 |
| melodie | what is your wifi card, have you checked about the driver, if it is in the distro, if is loaded? | 23:41 |
| Meris | melodie, it *is* loaded, I can connect to my own LAN just fine. My Wifi card is an Airport, I'll look up the details... | 23:41 |
| melodie | " Normally later versions will be more advanced, not the other way around..." // I would not bet, particularly as Ubuntu 12.04 is now 12.04.3 and is a LTS | 23:41 |
| Meris | melodie, my Network card is recognized as an Atheros AR5418 (AR5008E rev. 01) | 23:42 |
| melodie | Meris is no one can help you directly, you might have more luck "playing seven errors game" with the configuration files | 23:42 |
| * ianorlin tihnks he had this problem when he went to ucla | 23:42 | |
| Meris | ianorlin, and...did you solve it? | 23:43 |
| melodie | you might want to look in the files in the directory /etc/network | 23:43 |
| ianorlin | no I graduated | 23:43 |
| ianorlin | I connected to a different network | 23:43 |
| Meris | ianorlin, that's always the best solution, but I'm not there yet...:-) | 23:43 |
| melodie | Meris I would even try the stupid way: | 23:43 |
| ianorlin | ah | 23:44 |
| melodie | as root "cp -R /etc/network /etc/network-BACKUP" | 23:44 |
| melodie | or mv | 23:44 |
| melodie | better mv | 23:44 |
| melodie | and from the other distro copy the whole /etc/network to the Lubuntu distro, and look what it does? | 23:44 |
| melodie | it would just need a reboot | 23:45 |
| Meris | melodie, worth a try I guess. I'll fire up a LiveCD Ubuntu 12.04 and save the file from there. | 23:45 |
| melodie | if you try that make sure you have the right ownership and permissions on the directory copied : don't copy them to a fat32 usb stick for instance | 23:45 |
| Meris | melodie, I can always fix that using a chown, no? | 23:46 |
| melodie | yes, but it's not necessary if you just make a tarball as root | 23:46 |
| melodie | the content will keep the ownership and permissions | 23:46 |
| melodie | such as: | 23:46 |
| ianorlin | chowning stuff can break stuff if yuo are not careful | 23:47 |
| Meris | melodie, that's true... | 23:47 |
| melodie | sudo tar cfvj network.tar.bz2 network | 23:47 |
| melodie | from within the /etc directory | 23:47 |
| melodie | and to untar, do it once you have backuped the /etc/network of lubuntu or it will destroy the content | 23:48 |
| melodie | then you can put the tarball to /etc in lubuntu and do : | 23:48 |
| Meris | ianorlin, I'm aware of that, but if there is only one file involved and if I check the rights of the config. file on my present Lubuntu installation, I can use those exact same rights and UID/ GID's | 23:48 |
| melodie | sudo xvfj network.tar.bz2 | 23:48 |
| melodie | there is not only one file involved, do a "ls -lR" on /etc/network ? | 23:49 |
| Meris | melodie, thanks, I know how to roll my own tarball, I've done it since 1997 ;-) | 23:49 |
| melodie | ok, fine :) | 23:49 |
| melodie | you started before me /o\ ;-) | 23:49 |
| ianorlin | and me | 23:49 |
| melodie | how old were you then? | 23:50 |
| Meris | melodie, true... I am not calling you names, I'm thank you! I'm 38 years old/ young. | 23:50 |
| melodie | :D | 23:50 |
| Meris | I'm thank you! => I'm thank>ing< you! <= silly omissions during IRC typing... | 23:51 |
| melodie | np | 23:51 |
| melodie | Meris would you join #lubuntu-offtopic ? | 23:53 |
| Meris | melodie, if everything else fails, I'll just rip out network manager altogether and make my own entries. | 23:53 |
| melodie | a bug report could be nice... | 23:53 |
| PatrickDickey | Hi everyone. Is there an app specific to lubuntu that will allow me to test and read the SMART data on a hard drive? | 23:57 |
| brainwash | PatrickDickey: smartctl, a command-line tool (package smartmontools) | 23:59 |
| ianorlin | not installed by defualt I don't think searching I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools | 23:59 |
