|---|---|---|
| holstein | i would look through it | 05:29 |
| nischay | is it safe to remove the content of losf+found file as it is consuming 2.1 gb space in my fs | 05:30 |
| holstein | nischay: i would want to look through it.. i mean, its your stuff.. you have to decide if you want/need it | 05:31 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/165614/is-it-safe-to-delete-a-lostfound-folder | 05:31 |
| nischay | it means it is not gooing to harm my fs, | 05:31 |
| nischay | thanks now I got it ) | 05:33 |
| ABC-XYZ | hi, how could I alter the system-wide default GTK2 theme for LXDE? | 10:22 |
| nitus | two questions this morning | 11:33 |
| nitus | 1. lately when I boot up, there's a pop-up message telling me there's a system error, asking me whether to send or not | 11:34 |
| nitus | but it doesn't tell me what the problem is, and everything seems fine | 11:34 |
| nitus | how do I find out what the issue is? | 11:35 |
| nitus | 2. what is getty and why are so many instances of it running? it doesn't come up in synaptic, though numerous variations of a getty appear. seems to do with modems or fax, but I have no modem | 11:36 |
| Unit193 | Hit report and it'll show you, but I turned apport off myself. As for the second... | 11:38 |
| Unit193 | !tty | 11:38 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 11:38 |
| Unit193 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/getty | 11:38 |
| nitus | actually report doesn't seem to do anything visibly different than cancel. I assumed it just meant it would send a report. don't recall it ever did. apport appears to be installed, but I'm not sure which if any of the related packages should be installed or if it was toggled off by something at some point. is there some other way to identify problems? | 11:45 |
| nitus | for #2, I guess then it's normal for there to be 5 or 6 gettys running? | 11:46 |
| nitus | I'm a relative newcomer to linux, and it bothered me that there is no such package installed or indeed any package with getty in the name. but if it's normal, I won't worry about it | 11:48 |
| nitus | I know that the 1st issue appeared after adding several packages over the course of a day or two, mainly wine related | 11:49 |
| nitus | ah I see. just visited the tty terminals. | 11:51 |
| nitus | do those serve any purpose? | 11:52 |
| _joey | does anyone have problem playing flash in chromium on latest lubuntu? | 12:12 |
| nitus | is it a new install? and do you have lubuntu-restricted-extras? | 12:17 |
| nitus | also chromium doesn't come with flash by default | 12:19 |
| nitus | I use firefox and always got chromium set up in the same manner, with the packages for lubuntu-restricted-extras, flashplugin-installer, flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound so I never had that issue | 12:21 |
| dorohoro | how do i change screen brightnes in lubunut | 13:06 |
| dorohoro | *lubuntu | 13:07 |
| Zezinia | hi , how i can resolve these prob | 15:29 |
| Zezinia | could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: permission denied) | 15:29 |
| Zezinia | unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) , are you root | 15:29 |
| Myrtti | use sudo? | 15:31 |
| Zezinia | Myrtti; how ? | 15:31 |
| Myrtti | what are you actually doing? apt-get update? | 15:33 |
| Myrtti | if you're doing this on commandline terminal, then just start the line with sudo and continue it as you were | 15:33 |
| Myrtti | if you're doing this with graphical apps, then I'd like to know what you were doing | 15:33 |
| Myrtti | (don't use sudo then) | 15:33 |
| Myrtti | (if you get that with graphical apps, you've got something else messed up) | 15:34 |

| RudeViper | Morning guys | 16:42 |
| RudeViper | anyone know how to make linux ignore the ps2 mouse ports? | 16:43 |
| wxl | RudeViper: specifically, no, but generally, remove the kernel module and/or blacklist it | 17:01 |
| wxl | RudeViper: lspci should help you figure out the module name, and modprobe will help you remove it (temporarily). blacklisting involves editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 17:03 |
| wxl | RudeViper: though the driver may be built into the kernel, which is likely. in that case you'll have to dig through /proc and /sys for the right file to echo 0 to | 17:04 |
| wxl | RudeViper: i'd be more helpful but i don't do ps/2 ;) | 17:17 |
| infocon | I'm trying to figure out how to install Lubuntu 13.10 on my netbook. I downloaded the iso, but am unsure as to what to do next, and I can't find info on those steps. | 17:51 |
| holstein | infocon: have you ever installed any operating systems? maybe windows? | 17:53 |
| infocon | I installed Linux from Windows. | 17:54 |
| holstein | !install | infocon | 17:54 |
| ubottu | infocon: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate | 17:54 |
| holstein | basically, you need to make installation media from the iso you downloaded.. that can be a CD/DVD or a USB stick. the machine must be able to boot that media.. you boot it from the machine, and run through the options | 17:55 |
| infocon | Alright, thanks. | 17:58 |
| Subroutine | hi, im using ARandR for my dualscreen setup. anyone knows how do i get lubuntu menu at rightclick on desktop on my secondary monitor, instead of openbox menu? | 18:03 |
| === brendan1 is now known as ianorlin | ||
| Subroutine | do you guys hate me from some reason, or is this just realy unhelpful room. i consider myself as linux noob but still i was able to help here more ppl then i was helped. | 18:14 |
| zleap | Subroutine, how can we help ? | 18:14 |
| Subroutine | sorry that sound too wrong, i dont mean to offend anyone | 18:15 |
| Myrtti | so am I reading it right that you want one DE in one window and other at the second? | 18:15 |
| zleap | right click appearence, desktop preferences, then there is the menu option in advanced | 18:16 |
| Subroutine | i get lubuntu menu in one screen and openbox menu on other. i'd like them to be both lubuntu menu | 18:17 |
| Subroutine | zleap: this is unchacked - not to use openbox menu, but it still does use openbox on secondary screen | 18:17 |
| ianorlin | was it checked before? | 18:19 |
| Subroutine | also i had another problem. since i upgared from 10.04 to 10.13 my autostart script for all users stoped working, so i have to use autostarts for individual users | 18:19 |
| Subroutine | ianorlin: no | 18:19 |
| zleap | i can't find settings for desktops and window managers | 18:20 |
| zleap | but there are several configuration tools for some reason | 18:20 |
| ianorlin | what do you mean by uses openbox it is still the defualt window manager | 18:21 |
| zleap | lxde | 18:21 |
| zleap | if you click on the option i suggested you get a different right click menu | 18:21 |
| zleap | desktop session settings allows you to change what window manager is used | 18:23 |
| Subroutine | window manager is fine. its just popup menu i get when i rightclick desktop. on primary screen i get lubuntu menu(create new, select all, dort files, preference), but when i rightclick secondary screen I get openbox menu(PC filemanager, terminal, accessories, internet, office, multimedia system, logout) | 18:26 |
| Subroutine | i'd like both to be the same popup menus | 18:27 |
| zleap | hmm | 18:29 |
| zleap | maybe there is a bug somewhere I would expect them to be the same, | 18:29 |
| zleap | as i said there are several configuration tools for all of this none of which seem to shed light on what you want to do | 18:29 |
| Subroutine | ok i stick with it until 14.04 comes out. hopefuly it may fix it. | 18:30 |
| Subroutine | do you think you can help me with my other issue | 18:31 |
| Subroutine | since i upgared from 10.04 to 10.13 my autostart script for all users stoped working, so i have to use autostarts for individual users/etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu | 18:31 |
| Subroutine | /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart was cleand after upgarde and even i add command manualy it doesnt do anything | 18:32 |
| zleap | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2182986 | 18:33 |
| zleap | that seems to affect clean install systems too, so it could be a issue with 13.10,.. however that link may provide some help | 18:33 |
| Subroutine | zleap: i've been trying something similar, spend hours googling, i try again. brb | 18:34 |
| zleap | ok | 18:35 |
| zleap | try desktop session settings, i think you can start / stop stuff there | 18:35 |
| Subroutine | zleap: desktop session setting is again only for current user as far as i belive. and the link you gave me earlier didt help, but at least i know how to fix two network setting icons - i was getting this sometimes while trying to fix autostart yesterday and day before. | 18:46 |
| zleap | ok cool | 18:47 |
| Subroutine | ill just wait till april and do fresh insatll of 14.04 and all hope it will sort all bugs i have | 18:47 |
| Subroutine | thank you anyway and sorry for taht silly comment i have made - i was getting but frustrated after being ignored for few days | 18:48 |
| ianorlin | getting frustrated isn't good | 18:49 |
| ianorlin | apology accepted | 18:49 |
| Subroutine | lol | 18:49 |
| Subroutine | ianorlin: and especially when its but frustration, of course i did mean 'bit frustrated' | 18:51 |
| ianorlin | haha | 18:52 |
| leszek | hi | 20:02 |
| ianorlin | hi | 20:02 |
| RudeViper | Ok - update - believe it or not - it had absolutely nothing to do with the mouse - it was the video drivers - I updated them and my usb mouse is working...... It's just weird that the only thing messed up was the mouse - lol | 20:04 |
| RudeViper | now for the next problem - the startup manager seems to be missing from lubuntu 13.10 - anyway to revive that? I need to get minecraft server to start when the machine boots | 20:10 |
| ianorlin | can you luanch defualt apps for lxseisson I think that will allow you | 20:11 |
| RudeViper | not really - I'm using lubuntu not lxde - running that will change settings etc - really convoluted way around the issue - I'll have to try some sort of script I guess | 20:15 |
| Unit193 | Sooo, personally with something like that it just seems easier to use a crontab with @reboot in it. :P | 20:16 |
| RudeViper | if I knew how to do that I would - lol - trying to find a simple way - found something in the lubuntu software packages that might work - else guess I'll have to learn about cron | 20:19 |
| Unit193 | How do you launch minecraft now? | 20:20 |
| ianorlin | I use cron to toggle mute on my speakers to go to bed on time | 20:21 |
| Unit193 | Also, ianorlin's idea with lxsession-default-apps may be a better GUI way. | 20:21 |
| Unit193 | ianorlin: Heh, I have that too. :D | 20:21 |
| Unit193 | (Or, to not bother others, but close.) | 20:21 |
| RudeViper | I haven't yet - I am ust installing everything | 20:22 |
| wxl | RudeViper: i'd use upstart, personally | 21:57 |
| Unit193 | Suure you would, sparky. | 21:58 |
| Unit193 | Thought about that, might not be bad but it'd change user it's run as I'd think. | 21:58 |
