| Datz_ | Hi, I keep getting crashes everytime I try to install something. | 01:13 |
| === Datz_ is now known as Datz | ||
| Datz | I think that unless something is being installed with the package manager, everything is fine. | 01:15 |
| Datz | I took a picture of the calltrace: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zgq9m7czqbrap6c/2014-03-09%2016.43.46.jpg | 01:17 |
| Datz | I was thinking the kernel was crashing or something | 01:17 |
| Datz | not sure what to do. | 01:18 |
| FuuqUmiist | how do you change the menu icon to say menu to make it more user friendly | 01:19 |
| * Datz moves his question to #ubuntu | 01:25 | |
| FuuqUmiist | how do you hide the menu bar in gnome-mplayer to make more efficient use of space? | 01:50 |
| FuuqUmiist | Lubuntu or Linux Mint XFCE? which do you think is more user friendly for people who don't know how to use computers and only have experience with Windows | 02:01 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: mint is not supported here | 02:01 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: both are free and easy to try for yourself on your hardware | 02:02 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: most applications have a full screen mode.. but, i dont see any in gnome-mplayer | 02:03 |
| holstein | i see settings in the preferences menu for "interface".. but none to address removeing the menubar | 02:04 |
| holstein | nothing about gnome-mplayer makes me want to use it over one of the more 'attractive' alternatives, if aesthetics were important | 02:04 |
| FuuqUmiist | holstein if you have launcher with icons in the panel how do you change the name of the icon when the mouse is over it | 02:11 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: i would refer to the documentation for the launcher | 02:12 |
| FuuqUmiist | if i change the application name in the menu will it mess anything up? | 02:12 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: it will change the name in the menu | 02:15 |
| holstein | i usually mess around with the UI and settings in a live CD or as another user.. to see the effects without breaking anything | 02:16 |
| FuuqUmiist | so do you know how to change the menu icon in the panel to say "menu" to make it more user friendly | 02:17 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: when i right click on mine, i am faced with an option to edit the menu | 02:18 |
| holstein | when i click on that, i can point to a custom icon location | 02:18 |
| FuuqUmiist | is there a standard custom "menu" icon that says menu? | 02:20 |
| holstein | http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXDE:Questions#I_would_like_to_change_the_LXDE_icon_in_the_start_menu._How_do_I_do_it.3F | 02:20 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: you can use *anything* you like | 02:20 |
| holstein | you can make your own.. grab anything from the internet | 02:21 |
| holstein | http://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0018/136017/menu_button.png for example | 02:21 |
| holstein | or start.. or whatever the user expects | 02:22 |
| holstein | or, just tell them | 02:22 |
| FuuqUmiist | yeah, but i don't have those images | 02:22 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: what are you saying? friend? you dont have what images? | 02:23 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: the one i linked? i google searched for "menu icon button" and found that and many others | 02:23 |
| FuuqUmiist | something that says "menu" or "start" | 02:23 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: you can make your own, or get one from *anywhere* | 02:23 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: i used google image search to find the one i linked above | 02:23 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: there were several thousand that came up | 02:23 |
| FuuqUmiist | oh so i just save that and direct to it and it will resize everything naturally? | 02:24 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: you can try it, and see.. and edit as needed | 02:24 |
| FuuqUmiist | i will copy the windows "start" icon :P | 02:24 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: there are many windows themes | 02:24 |
| holstein | but, i find its not constructive to try and clone windows | 02:25 |
| holstein | there are many distros that are catering to cloing the windows UI | 02:25 |
| FuuqUmiist | but it will be easier to help people who are not familiar with linux | 02:25 |
| FuuqUmiist | i can just tell them to go to the "start" menu | 02:25 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: sure.. i just disgree with you | 02:25 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: i think it will be easier to educate the new user with the new system | 02:26 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: but, as i stated, there are many ways to do what you are trying to do.. many have already been done for you | 02:26 |
| FuuqUmiist | when is Lubuntu LTS going to be released? | 02:40 |
| holstein | !lts | 02:41 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 02:41 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: 14.04 is planned to be AFAIK, the first LTS for lubuntu | 02:41 |
| holstein | though, the core is supported upstream | 02:41 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: so.. april | 02:41 |
| FuuqUmiist | i wish it was this week | 02:42 |
| holstein | FuuqUmiist: you can go and download it anytime you like | 02:42 |
| FuuqUmiist | this should be a default theme option for Lubuntu http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Lubuntu+XP+three+flavors?content=162880 | 03:25 |
| Random832 | FuuqUmiist: no it shouldn't. | 03:39 |
| FuuqUmiist | why | 03:44 |
| Unit193 | 1. Why mimic Windows? 2. No GTK3 support. | 03:45 |
| ianorlin | I wouldn't want to use that at a linux conference | 03:45 |
| FuuqUmiist | more people would be willing to use Lubuntu with that theme | 03:47 |
| FuuqUmiist | btw, how much HDD space would you need for a new Lubuntu install? | 03:49 |
| Unit193 | I had one in 10G, 5G free. | 03:51 |
| ianorlin | 10G will work | 03:51 |
| FuuqUmiist | is it more lightweight to use flash or html5? | 04:26 |
| ianorlin | flash has problem on some old video cards not sure about html5 | 04:45 |
| FuuqUmiist | i know in the past flash in linux used a lot of CPU to play videos and stuff, but how about now? is Flash better than html5? | 04:46 |
| ianorlin | I think they both use a lot not sure of exact usage of both | 04:48 |

| guest0292 | Using Lubuntu 12.04 and 13.04. When I install pulseaudio and pavucontrol, it tells me pavucontrol can't access the /home/user1 folder, so I have to manually chown -R user1 /home/user1 to give pavucontrol access. | 09:12 |
| guest0292 | Is this a bug in Lubuntu/Pulse/Pavucontrol, or has my OS corrupted to cause this? | 09:13 |
| guest0292 | alsamixer works fine without having to chown but pavucontrol requires me to chown /home/user1. strange | 09:14 |
| serranellus | hi everybody, I was trying to run the Lubuntu livecd but it does’t work because of a graphic problem. Maybe my bloody VIA Unichrome card is not supported. Is there a way to fix it and to run this livecd properly? | 09:26 |

| sailorcire_alt | Hey, I for sent here from #suse. In LXDE control center, my icons are showing, but the text underneath them is gone. Any ideas on how to reset this? | 17:01 |
| Meerkat | sailorcire_alt, I am not familiar with a 'LXDE control center'. Where is it? | 18:15 |
| ianorlin | I think it isn't in recent versions of lubuntu | 18:17 |
| ianorlin | Meerkat what are you looking for? | 18:17 |
| Meerkat | I was trying to help the user above. | 18:18 |
| ianorlin | ah thanks for helping out | 18:30 |

| pc-problem | Is there a way I can lock the desktop icons in place, so they can't be moved by dragging them? | 19:23 |
| pc-problem | Lubuntu 13.10 - LXDE - PCManFM | 19:23 |
| sailorcire_alt | Meerkat should be under Launcher -> System -> LXDE Control Center. | 19:37 |
