[00:17] that isn't quite nesecary for intel integrated graphics [00:21] ianorlin, that laptop has AMD graphics [00:39] uhm [00:39] installed ubuntu [00:39] and the same [00:39] I don't see that additional drivers though [00:42] n-iCe, are you not using lubuntu? [00:43] I just installed ubuntu [00:43] I was using lubuntu [01:13] Hi, I keep getting crashes everytime I try to install something. === Datz_ is now known as Datz [01:15] I think that unless something is being installed with the package manager, everything is fine. [01:17] I took a picture of the calltrace: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zgq9m7czqbrap6c/2014-03-09%2016.43.46.jpg [01:17] I was thinking the kernel was crashing or something [01:18] not sure what to do. [01:19] how do you change the menu icon to say menu to make it more user friendly [01:25] * Datz moves his question to #ubuntu [01:50] how do you hide the menu bar in gnome-mplayer to make more efficient use of space? [02:01] 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] FuuqUmiist: mint is not supported here [02:02] FuuqUmiist: both are free and easy to try for yourself on your hardware [02:03] FuuqUmiist: most applications have a full screen mode.. but, i dont see any in gnome-mplayer [02:04] i see settings in the preferences menu for "interface".. but none to address removeing the menubar [02:04] nothing about gnome-mplayer makes me want to use it over one of the more 'attractive' alternatives, if aesthetics were important [02:11] 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 [02:12] FuuqUmiist: i would refer to the documentation for the launcher [02:12] if i change the application name in the menu will it mess anything up? [02:15] FuuqUmiist: it will change the name in the menu [02:16] i usually mess around with the UI and settings in a live CD or as another user.. to see the effects without breaking anything [02:17] so do you know how to change the menu icon in the panel to say "menu" to make it more user friendly [02:18] FuuqUmiist: when i right click on mine, i am faced with an option to edit the menu [02:18] when i click on that, i can point to a custom icon location [02:20] is there a standard custom "menu" icon that says menu? [02:20] 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] FuuqUmiist: you can use *anything* you like [02:21] you can make your own.. grab anything from the internet [02:21] http://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0018/136017/menu_button.png for example [02:22] or start.. or whatever the user expects [02:22] or, just tell them [02:22] yeah, but i don't have those images [02:23] FuuqUmiist: what are you saying? friend? you dont have what images? [02:23] FuuqUmiist: the one i linked? i google searched for "menu icon button" and found that and many others [02:23] something that says "menu" or "start" [02:23] FuuqUmiist: you can make your own, or get one from *anywhere* [02:23] FuuqUmiist: i used google image search to find the one i linked above [02:23] FuuqUmiist: there were several thousand that came up [02:24] oh so i just save that and direct to it and it will resize everything naturally? [02:24] FuuqUmiist: you can try it, and see.. and edit as needed [02:24] i will copy the windows "start" icon :P [02:24] FuuqUmiist: there are many windows themes [02:25] but, i find its not constructive to try and clone windows [02:25] there are many distros that are catering to cloing the windows UI [02:25] but it will be easier to help people who are not familiar with linux [02:25] i can just tell them to go to the "start" menu [02:25] FuuqUmiist: sure.. i just disgree with you [02:26] FuuqUmiist: i think it will be easier to educate the new user with the new system [02:26] FuuqUmiist: but, as i stated, there are many ways to do what you are trying to do.. many have already been done for you [02:40] when is Lubuntu LTS going to be released? [02:41] !lts [02:41] 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] FuuqUmiist: 14.04 is planned to be AFAIK, the first LTS for lubuntu [02:41] though, the core is supported upstream [02:41] FuuqUmiist: so.. april [02:42] i wish it was this week [02:42] FuuqUmiist: you can go and download it anytime you like [03:25] this should be a default theme option for Lubuntu http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Lubuntu+XP+three+flavors?content=162880 [03:39] FuuqUmiist: no it shouldn't. [03:44] why [03:45] 1. Why mimic Windows? 2. No GTK3 support. [03:45] I wouldn't want to use that at a linux conference [03:47] more people would be willing to use Lubuntu with that theme [03:49] btw, how much HDD space would you need for a new Lubuntu install? [03:51] I had one in 10G, 5G free. [03:51] 10G will work [04:26] is it more lightweight to use flash or html5? [04:45] flash has problem on some old video cards not sure about html5 [04:46] 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? [04:48] I think they both use a lot not sure of exact usage of both === FuuqUmiist is now known as FuqUmiist [09:12] 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. [09:13] Is this a bug in Lubuntu/Pulse/Pavucontrol, or has my OS corrupted to cause this? [09:14] alsamixer works fine without having to chown but pavucontrol requires me to chown /home/user1. strange [09:26] 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? === PaulW2U is now known as G4MBY [17:01] 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? [18:15] sailorcire_alt, I am not familiar with a 'LXDE control center'. Where is it? [18:17] I think it isn't in recent versions of lubuntu [18:17] Meerkat what are you looking for? [18:18] I was trying to help the user above. [18:30] ah thanks for helping out === jackson is now known as Guest57400 [19:23] Is there a way I can lock the desktop icons in place, so they can't be moved by dragging them? [19:23] Lubuntu 13.10 - LXDE - PCManFM [19:37] Meerkat should be under Launcher -> System -> LXDE Control Center. === Mikaela is now known as Michaela === Michaela is now known as Mikaela
