| BiV | salut | 18:01 |
| FuuqUmiist | how do you close multiple windows of the same app at the same time | 20:31 |
| puri | hello, I seem to be having a problem that probably has an easy solution. | 20:42 |
| puri | I have been downloading apps through sudo apt-get install (insertname here) | 20:42 |
| puri | But I seem to not be able to find them installed but I know they are installed. I also ave no Idea how to run them | 20:43 |
| puri | I am completely new to linux and this is the first day with linux for me. | 20:43 |
| phillw | puri: are they installing with no errors reported? | 20:44 |
| puri | Yes. | 20:44 |
| puri | It tells me to enter y/n so I entered y and it continued without error | 20:44 |
| phillw | puri: please give an example of one such application | 20:44 |
| puri | I believe I installed libreoffice | 20:45 |
| FuuqUmiist | check in your menu under the office section | 20:45 |
| phillw | puri: click on Menu --> Office | 20:45 |
| phillw | FuuqUmiist: I'll leave him with you... no point two people here :D | 20:46 |
| puri | im getting abiword document viewer and gnumeric but not getting libreoffice | 20:46 |
| phillw | FuuqUmiist: I'll elt you tell him to use LSC and / or synaptic :D | 20:46 |
| FuuqUmiist | ouri use Lubuntu Software centre or Synaptic package manager to install software, you really don't need to use the terminal commands | 20:47 |
| FuuqUmiist | puri* | 20:47 |
| puri | according to lubuntu software, It is already installed. | 20:47 |
| puri | It has a check mark next them it | 20:48 |
| FuuqUmiist | oh then ask phillw | 20:48 |
| puri | to it* | 20:48 |
| FuuqUmiist | puri type libreoffice in the terminal ans see what happens | 20:49 |
| puri | oh thats how you start apps... | 20:50 |
| puri | I am new to the command line and such :) | 20:50 |
| FuuqUmiist | there should be icons in the menu tho | 20:50 |
| puri | hm... I'm not seeing any of them. Maybe I would need a restart? | 20:51 |
| phillw | puri: if the applications are not in your menu section, it does prove as to why people take the time to write LSC and synaptic..... | 20:52 |
| phillw | puri: FuuqUmiist sorry If I'm abrupt, just chatting about the DDoS that took freenode IRC down, crashed a couple of my servers etc.... Life is never anything but 'fin' :D | 20:53 |
| puri | what happened? | 20:54 |
| phillw | puri: sad people who have nothing better to do attacked a system that is free to all....... go figure their mind set out. | 20:55 |
| puri | How long did the attack last? | 20:56 |
| phillw | but, I have a guy on to help me with something for lubuntu. the attack was more than 3 days | 20:56 |
| phillw | FuuqUmiist: can you get him to apt-get remove and then use LSC to install it. | 20:57 |
| puri | That's a pretty long attack... Don't most attacks last only a couple of minutes? | 20:57 |
| puri | it seems to show that I got my apps b | 20:58 |
| phillw | not when they want to be complete ass-holes, no. they wanted to show they could down a completely free system for a couple of days.... I cannot state my views on them as I would be banned... | 20:58 |
| puri | in the menu | 20:58 |
| phillw | a restart of X?..... FuuqUmiist well done! | 20:59 |
| puri | any idea why cairo dock has a black bar though? | 20:59 |
| puri | it takes a big amout of my screen | 21:00 |
| puri | *amount* | 21:00 |
| phillw | puri: I don't use cairo | 21:02 |
| puri | Any suggestions as to docks? Cairo has a black bar and it doesn't look as good | 21:03 |
| FuuqUmiist | EU 31.2% Russia 23.7% exports | 21:07 |
| FuuqUmiist | oops wrong channel heh | 21:07 |
| ianorlin | You can create a second lxpanel that gets minimized as well by right clicking on a panel | 21:55 |
| FuuqUmiist | i have 88 images open, how do close them all from the panel with one click? like on windows or other DEs | 21:57 |
| zleap | ianorlin, that seems to be broken on 13.10 if I right click and select desktop pager settings it crashes | 22:02 |
| ianorlin | no not on the pager | 22:03 |
| zleap | yeah, but that part of the panel seems to be broken i can do what you are describing no problem | 22:04 |
| ianorlin | I know that | 22:04 |
| zleap | any idea how to fix the pager issues ? or is it a case of waiting for an update | 22:04 |
| ianorlin | use the wnkpager | 22:04 |
| zleap | ok | 22:05 |
| ianorlin | and open obconf to get to those settings | 22:05 |
| ianorlin | or middle click on desktop to add a workspace | 22:05 |
| ianorlin | FuuqUmiist: do you have other stuff you want to stay open you could log out and log back in | 22:06 |
| zleap | thanks | 22:06 |
| zleap | ok reduced number of desktops to 2 | 22:06 |
| zleap | nice | 22:07 |
| zleap | thats a feature i didn't know was there before | 22:07 |
| ianorlin | I should share that somewhere | 22:07 |
| zleap | docs team perhaps | 22:07 |
| FuuqUmiist | ianorlin yeah i do | 22:22 |
| FuuqUmiist | i thought you can just right click the group on the panel to close all the windows | 22:26 |
| FuuqUmiist | but i guess pkill works also | 22:29 |
