[03:55] <entreri> hey guys, regularly I see desktop icons flying around all over the screen, in a secnd they appear and disapppear
[03:55] <holstein> entreri: they dont for me.. are you using stock lubuntu 13.10?
[03:57] <entreri> yes, I'm not sure why but it's really buggy for me. When I install an app from Software Center, icons on the desktop disappear and normal "right-click" menu crashes, I can only see the menu from Openbox
[03:57] <entreri> then there are icons flying around like I said, they disappear and reappear...
[03:57] <holstein> entreri: sounds to me like graphics card driver issues
[03:57] <holstein> !nomodeset
[03:58] <holstein> ^ you can try this from a live CD.. or look for a proprietary driver that might be more appropriate for you device, if its an nvidia or ati
[03:58] <holstein> !ati
[03:58] <entreri> it doesn't do that on other *buntus or linuxmint
[03:59] <holstein> entreri: mint might have the drivers i mention installed or available by default.. and the main ubuntu might prompt you
[04:00] <holstein> entreri: you have tried "nomodeset" from a lubuntu live CD? have you looked for any additional drivers and insatlled them?
[04:00] <entreri> no, because my Acer netbook have an integrated Intwl graphics card that should work by default with linux, usually
[04:01] <holstein> entreri: so, you havent tried the "nomodeset" with a live CD?
[04:01] <holstein> entreri: are you not interested in trying that suggestion?
[04:02] <entreri> holstein: yes if it doesn't require a reinstall
[04:02] <holstein> entreri: i didnt say, nor mean to imply a reinstall
[04:02] <holstein> entreri: the link i gave states how to try "nomodeset" from a live CD
[04:02] <entreri> can I do it without a live CD/USB, live ?
[04:03] <holstein> entreri: i would first look for, and apply all upgrades.. then, i would consider installing whatever OS is working for you easily , and just add lxde or lubuntudekstop
[04:04] <entreri> holstein: Also, the texts in Chromium's tabs doesn't show up, only the icons... not sure if all this is related
[04:06] <holstein> entreri: i can only suggest ways to troubleshoot to determine if that is related or not
[04:10] <holstein> entreri: when you say other ubuntu's worked, were they all the same version? 13.10 for example?
[04:10] <holstein> lubuntu *is* ubuntu, and will have the same access to the same software and the same kernel with very similar hardware configuration support out of the box
[04:10] <entreri> I think it's only lxde that is my problem
[04:11] <holstein> if you have a situtation where ubuntu 12.04 worked and lubuntu 13.10 doesnt, its likely more to do with the kernel versions between 12.04 and 13.10 for example that lxde
[04:11] <holstein> entreri: install another DE and confirm that
[04:11] <holstein> entreri: install xfce and test
[04:12] <entreri> not sure if it would not just be better downloader xubuntu ?
[04:12] <entreri> downloading*
[04:12] <holstein> entreri: it would be the same
[04:12] <holstein> entreri: lubuntu *is* ubuntu with lxde.. xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce
[04:12] <holstein> entreri: if you want to test if it is lxde that is the issue, you can install something other than lxde and test
[04:12] <holstein> entreri: if you want to download xubntu and use it, go for it
[13:11] <codeur> what to do if don't find a software in the applications after installing it
[13:12] <codeur> on lubuntu
[13:16] <Callaghan> codeur, is it in /usr/share/applications?
[13:17] <codeur> checking
[13:18] <codeur> Callaghan, it is not in the "local/share"
[13:18] <codeur> btw don't find the "user" folder
[13:19] <Callaghan> codeur, I think you are in the wrong place, click on the Menu, select "Run" and enter "pcmanfm /usr/share/applications" without the quotes, then click ok
[13:20] <Callaghan> you should see a list of shortcuts to applications
[13:20] <codeur> okay
[13:20] <codeur> chalcedny, is there a space between  "pcmanfm /usr/" ?
[13:21] <codeur> is there a space after pcmanfm
[13:21] <Callaghan> yes
[13:22] <codeur> I don't see it there as well :(
[13:22] <Callaghan> ok, that explains why it doesn't show up in the menu
[13:23] <codeur> but I find it installed at syneptic
[13:23] <Callaghan> can you share the name of the application?
[13:23] <codeur> sure
[13:23] <codeur> yoono-desktop-1.8.43.tar.bz2
[13:23] <codeur> I converted it to .dep
[13:23] <codeur> .deb*
[13:24] <codeur> then installed it
[13:24] <codeur> btw my lubuntu is not upgraded to 13.10 from 13.04
[13:24] <Callaghan> oh, if you installed the application from source, then I am not sure if there is an entry in /usr/share/applications.
[13:25] <Callaghan> you can try to launch the application from the command line, if that works we can create a shortcut by hand
[13:25] <codeur> how to lunch an application from terminal?
[13:25] <Callaghan> Are you familiar with the command line?
[13:25] <codeur> I'm familiar with terminal but
[13:25] <codeur> I don't know how to run an application from there
[13:26] <Callaghan> In the command line, enter yoono and press enter :)
[13:26] <codeur> ahh btw I already tried it :P
[13:26] <codeur> doesn't work
[13:26] <Callaghan> or if that doesn't work, try entering yoo and pressing Tab twice
[13:26] <codeur> I even tried "yonoo-desktop"
[13:26] <codeur> on terminal
[13:27] <Callaghan> It could be installed in a place where the system doesn't find it :/
[13:27] <codeur> nothing happens :(
[13:27] <codeur> it seems so :-/
[13:28] <codeur> thanks a lot for your help anyway :)
[13:28] <Callaghan> let me check something out
[13:28] <codeur> okay :)
[13:31] <Callaghan> ok, let's try something different
[13:31] <Callaghan> do you still have the .tar.bz2 file?
[13:31] <codeur> yes I have it
[13:31] <Callaghan> open the terminal and go to the directory where the file is
[13:32] <codeur> actually it is on the home folder
[13:32] <codeur> do not need to change directory for it
[13:32] <Callaghan> alright
[13:32] <Callaghan> extract the file with this command:
[13:32] <Callaghan> tar xvjf yoono-?????.tar.bz2
[13:32] <Callaghan> just enter tar xvjf yoo and press Tab
[13:33] <Callaghan> the file will be detected automatically
[13:33] <codeur> did :)
[13:33] <Callaghan> ok, now you should have a directory called yoono-desktop
[13:33] <codeur> I think it is extracted
[13:33] <Callaghan> execute: cd yoono-desktop
[13:33] <codeur> yeah right
[13:34] <codeur> then?
[13:34] <Callaghan> and in that new directory, execute the following command (notice the ./):
[13:34] <Callaghan> ./yoono-desktop
[13:34] <codeur> it is now: NF108-NF208:~/yoono-desktop$
[13:34] <Callaghan> that's exactly  where we want to be
[13:35] <Callaghan> did it work? :)
[13:35] <codeur> a window appears
[13:36] <Callaghan> yes, that is yoono
[13:36] <codeur> yessss!
[13:36] <codeur> :D
[13:36] <codeur> awesome
[13:36] <Callaghan> alright, in the future, you can just start the file manager, go into the yoono-desktop directory and double-click yoono-desktop
[13:36] <codeur> is it installed?!
[13:37] <Callaghan> no, it's like a portable app, you launch it from this directory
[13:37] <Callaghan> no need to install
[13:37] <codeur> ahh okay
[13:37] <codeur> thanks a loooot for your help mate :)
[13:37] <Callaghan> no problem :)
[13:37] <Callaghan> have fun
[13:38] <codeur> hahaha
[13:38] <codeur> let's see
[14:33] <cousteau> does the lubuntu desktop 64b 13.10 image fit in a CD?  It seems to be 702 MiB
[14:53] <cousteau> who would have said, it fits!
[16:34] <Thinkbud> If i use any other gtk theme than the default one some gtk applications will look extremely ugly
[16:34] <Thinkbud> they dont look like the one i chose at all
[16:34] <Thinkbud> i tried several different ones i downloaded from gnome look
[16:38] <Thinkbud> It will change it to look like the one called industrial something
[16:38] <Thinkbud> very very ugly
[17:26] <cousteau> Installing Lubuntu.  Does the installer make 3 partitions for /, /home, and swap?  Or do I have to do that manually?
[17:42] <bioterror> cousteau, manually
