=== Nosomy is now known as Nosomy|Off === Nosomy|Off is now known as Nosomy [04:46] why don't xdg-open and xdg-settings work? [04:46] and where the heck is the preferred web browser setting stored? [04:50] Random832: i use "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" [04:50] that's a global setting, not a user-specific one [04:50] it's the principle, and the fact that there is a control panel that doesn't actually do anything [04:52] i used to feel that way to.. now, i try and help out where i can, and just use what works.. and try and get with the philosophy when i can [04:53] which version are you using? [04:53] i think the more recent versions are addressing that, for sure [04:54] cause there isn't a do nothing contorl panel in 13.04 or 13.10 [04:55] ianorlin: the setting modified by the preferred applications control panel is not actually used where it's supposed to be, to be precise. [04:55] when i select a browser, that should control what browser opens with xdg-open http://stuff [04:55] and when i select a mail handler, that should control what runs when i run xdg-open mailto:stuff [04:55] presice is 12.04 [04:56] ...... [04:56] those issues should be addressed in more recent and supported versions of lubuntu [04:56] precise is a word in the english language [04:56] that has a meaning [04:56] that I was using in a sentence [04:56] Random832: i thought you were answering the question that was asked.. appologies. what version are you using? [04:56] latest [04:56] Random832: so 13.10, then? [04:56] yeah i guess, how do i find out [04:57] i think i upgraded to 13.10 [04:57] lsb_relase -a in terminal [04:57] yeah 13.10 [04:57] Random832: an upgrade would have been from an earlier version. not utilizing installation media [04:58] I don't know why you're asking, since the machinery to make xdg_open work just isn't there - it doesn't even detect that I'm on lxde, and if I modify it to do so, all that does is make it open folders in pcmanfm [04:58] *xdg-open [04:59] it "works" by opening x-www-browser, which does not use the setting from the preferred applications control panel [05:00] you can right click there and have another browser on the panel [05:01] Also, I had an upgrade where I needed to modify a file under ~/.local/share/ before it'd take, but this sounds different. [05:02] right-click where? i don't care about the panel, i want it to open in the right thing when i ctrl-click a link in the terminal [05:02] and ultimately i "fixed" it by changing x-www-browser, but it bothers me that the preferred applications control panel doesn't do anything effective. === CiPi is now known as cipi === cipi is now known as CiPi [12:51] hello [12:53] lubuntu is best without apport-gtk === CiPi is now known as cipi === cipi is now known as CiPi [22:42] hi all [22:50] Hi!

I installed Lubuntu 12.10 from a live cd and now I am upgrading it to Lubuntu 13.04. Is it ok to upgrade it again to version 13.10 or is this too many upgrades? [23:57] maybd082: Can if you want. [23:58] FuuqUmiist: Are you using any type of weird devices? If so, you'll need to use pulse and pavucontrol.
