| holstein | westmi: what are you doing to faciliate the vpn connect? in wicd? | 02:39 |
|---|---|---|
| interf4ced | i can't seem to figure out how to uninstall steam. apt-get remove says "steam:i386" is not installed. Lubuntu software center doesn't have it listed. I think i installed it from the website for steam. | 07:08 |
| B_Little | How can I autorun some command when I open Lxterminal ? | 10:31 |
| melodie | B_Little what exactly do you need to do? | 10:37 |
| melodie | can you explain from "a" to "b" ? | 10:38 |
| melodie | B_Little time flies, are you still here? | 10:38 |
| B_Little | melodie: hi | 10:40 |
| B_Little | melodie: I have a Lxterminal shortcut on my desktop, I want to start irssi when I doubleclick it | 10:42 |
| melodie | open your lxterminal shortcut with a text editor, leafpad or whatever and paste the content to http://pastebin.com | 10:50 |
| melodie | I'll look at it and tell you what it lacks | 10:50 |
| B_Little | ok tnx | 10:50 |
| B_Little | melodie: http://pastebin.com/pvZwreUS | 10:52 |
| B_Little | im sure its wrong but I cant seem to find a solution online, I think i have to create a bash file or something | 10:52 |
| melodie | B_Little I test | 10:52 |
| melodie | normally you should not | 10:53 |
| melodie | just wait a second | 10:53 |
| melodie | I need to install lxterminal then test your command line | 10:54 |
| B_Little | isnt Lxterminal included by default in lubuntu ? | 10:55 |
| melodie | B_Little | 10:55 |
| melodie | you have: | 10:55 |
| melodie | Exec=lxterminal --geometry=120x35 irssi | 10:56 |
| melodie | try instead: | 10:56 |
| melodie | Exec=lxterminal --geometry=120x35 -e irssi | 10:56 |
| B_Little | melodie: ill try now | 10:56 |
| melodie | I don't use Lubuntu, I use Bento which is using Openbox with very few components from Lxde | 10:56 |
| melodie | ;) | 10:56 |
| B_Little | melodie: great it works tnx, I must have searched for wrong info online cause the solution seems simple | 10:57 |
| melodie | next you might want to have irssi connecting directly to your favorite server and chan but this might be out of my range of knowledge | 10:58 |
| melodie | B_Little next time you take the command line and paste it to the terminal, to see what it produces | 10:58 |
| melodie | then you can also type "lxterminal --help" to see the options | 10:58 |
| B_Little | melodie: ok tnx ill check the helpfile now | 10:59 |
| melodie | :) | 10:59 |
| melodie | ok | 10:59 |
| B_Little | ok it seems to work :) | 11:00 |
| melodie | ho ho | 11:01 |
| melodie | I get further: | 11:01 |
| melodie | Exec=lxterminal --geometry=120x35 -e 'irssi -c irc.freenode.net' | 11:02 |
| melodie | this works | 11:02 |
| melodie | connected directly to freenode | 11:02 |
| melodie | now what about a chan? | 11:02 |
| B_Little | cool | 11:02 |
| melodie | try "irssi --help" there are the options | 11:02 |
| melodie | maybe the man would help to find out for the chans | 11:02 |
| B_Little | yes it does | 11:08 |
| melodie | B_Little so have you found the option to connect directly to the chan too? | 11:10 |
| B_Little | yes | 11:11 |
| B_Little | and saved the config | 11:11 |
| melodie | can you tell me the option, so I don't need to seek for it? | 11:11 |
| B_Little | sure | 11:13 |
| B_Little | { name = "#lubuntu"; chatnet = "freenode"; autojoin = "yes"; }, | 11:13 |
| B_Little | but I did it in irrsi | 11:16 |
| melodie | so you don't have it in the Exec= command line of your desktop file? | 11:17 |
| B_Little | that part not | 11:17 |
| melodie | this would be the aim | 11:17 |
| melodie | there isn't much missing | 11:18 |
| B_Little | the part i have in my desktop file is connecting to the server | 11:18 |
| melodie | I look if I find how to add an option for the chan | 11:18 |
| B_Little | no indeed, i think -channel #test might do the trick | 11:18 |
| B_Little | ill try that out | 11:19 |
| melodie | -channel is not an irssi option | 11:19 |
| melodie | not found in the man | 11:19 |
| B_Little | i doublecheck it | 11:21 |
| melodie | I test on a machine which is besindes me but I was disconnected there, I had to replug the cable | 11:22 |
| melodie | crummy cable | 11:23 |
| melodie | bad cable, changed cable :) | 11:26 |
| melodie | B_Little I have a bit more: | 11:27 |
| melodie | Exec=lxterminal --geometry=120x35 -e 'irssi -c irc.freenode.net -n my_nick -w my_password' | 11:28 |
| melodie | I still try to find how to add a direct command to be in a give chan automagically | 11:28 |
| melodie | B_Little ok, you can do the rest in the irssi.conf file | 11:31 |
| melodie | as you can provide a custom configuration file and add the option in the command line: | 11:32 |
| melodie | Exec=lxterminal --geometry=120x35 -e 'irssi -c irc.freenode.net -n my_nick -w my_password --config /path/to/custom_file' | 11:33 |
| melodie | B_Little and from there you are now one click away from your favorite chan | 11:33 |
| B_Little | melodie: i see tnx ive added that too | 11:34 |
| melodie | :) | 11:34 |
| melodie | B_Little I have setup such desktop files before, I did that for the command line which allows configuring the keyboard mapping | 11:42 |
| melodie | lxkeyboard would not keep the setup, so it drove me mad, and from there I set up a desktop file to start xterm maximized (to see the list better) and the "dkpg-reconfigure keyboard" command line | 11:43 |
| B_Little | ok, im tweaking it a little more now | 11:43 |
| melodie | B_Little you are one more happy user! :D | 11:46 |
| B_Little | yes :) | 11:46 |

| dartz_lu | hello everyone | 14:35 |
| dartz_lu | I need a bit of help. | 14:36 |
| dartz_lu | I installed Lubuntu 12.04 on a spare HDD in one PC. Then I moved it to another, older P4 machine | 14:36 |
| dartz_lu | I keep getting thrown to grub rescue command line with something missing | 14:36 |
| dartz_lu | Live USB/CD fail to boot on this old machine. I have tried Lubuntu 12.04 live cd, usb, system rescue cd, super grub disk 2 | 14:37 |
| dartz_lu | I can't figure out how to fix it | 14:38 |
| dartz_lu | Should I give up and tell the owner to junk it and get something newer? | 14:38 |
| configX | Really liking Lubuntu 14.04. Only a couple of minor issues...for some reason I am seeing two power management icons in the system tray. Also it takes between 60 and 90 seconds for Lubuntu to boot. There is a black screen and then finally the login screen shows. | 15:34 |
| configX | Here's what I mean about the icons: http://i.imgur.com/Nh15TSs.png | 15:40 |
| holstein | 60 and 90 seconds seems pretty nice | 16:04 |
| holstein | i mean, linux nor lubuntu makes any hardware faster. they just typically use less resources | 16:04 |
| holstein | are the power icons like that out of the box? or on the live CD? or as another user? | 16:05 |
| configX | holstein: Well, I mean it was way faster when using MATE. This is a fairly modern computer. It seemed strange how it hung on a black screen for so long without any indication of what it was doing. | 16:06 |
| configX | When I first ran it I almost thought it crashed | 16:06 |
| holstein | configX: could be gtk related.. could be a different graphics driver, or some other issue | 16:07 |
| holstein | unless it was mate on 14.04 with the exact same packages other than just mate vs lxde, it really could be anything | 16:07 |
| holstein | for example, if you are comparing mate in 13.10 vs lxde in 14.04.. the kernel driver support would be more likely an issue | 16:08 |
| configX | That's true | 16:08 |
| configX | Is Lubuntu not supposed to be verbose at all during startup? | 16:10 |
| holstein | configX: that has been my findings.. though, it can depend on what messages are coming from where | 16:10 |
| holstein | i have one message about a broadcom chip on one machine.. on others, no messages | 16:10 |
| configX | With the icons I don't recall changing anything after a fresh install | 16:12 |
| holstein | configX: you can try with the same live CD you installed from, which likely has older versions of a few packages.. you can try as another user, or the guest user.. you can find some laptop mode checkboxes in the configs | 16:13 |
| configX | Good idea, I'll give that a try. | 16:14 |
| comics_idees | hi I tried to set dual monitor in autostart with disper but it does not work. When I type command in terminal it works | 17:14 |
| comics_idees | why in autostart does not work | 17:14 |
| comics_idees | ? | 17:15 |
| comics_idees | the command is correct | 17:16 |
| comics_idees | I checked it | 17:16 |
| ianorlin | disper? | 17:16 |
| comics_idees | yes | 17:16 |
| comics_idees | it is like xrandr | 17:16 |
| comics_idees | but I think disper is better | 17:17 |
| comics_idees | for setting dual monitor | 17:17 |
| comics_idees | anyone uses disper? | 17:22 |
| * ianorlin uses arandr but doesn't autostart it | 17:22 | |
| comics_idees | well I have permanent dual screen and I would like to autostart | 17:23 |
| comics_idees | in fact it was working in previous lubuntu version | 17:26 |
| comics_idees | but after upgrade I cannot set it to work | 17:26 |
| ianorlin | are you trying to autostart it by putting a file in a folder? | 17:27 |
| comics_idees | yes | 17:27 |
| comics_idees | i put a file in /etc. | 17:27 |
| comics_idees | sorry | 17:28 |
| comics_idees | in /etc/xdg/autostart | 17:28 |
| ianorlin | oh have you tried going to deafult apps for lxsession and putting disable autostart locations to no? | 17:28 |
| comics_idees | no I dont think zI disabled | 17:29 |
| comics_idees | i create a file disper.desktop | 17:29 |
| ianorlin | it might be by a stupid default | 17:29 |
| comics_idees | xm | 17:30 |

| bjorn_ | Hello, someone know how to make the touchpad inactive while writing? My netbook is driving me mad. | 18:02 |
| krytarik | bjorn_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse#Touchpad_settings | 18:05 |
| bjorn_ | krytarik, thanks | 18:08 |
| krytarik | bjorn_: Tell me if it works. :) | 18:09 |
| bjorn_ | krytarik, i think i will have to restart and its not possible right now i | 18:18 |
| krytarik | bjorn_: Actually, just run the command given there manually, to apply it right away. | 18:20 |
| bjorn_ | krytarik, | 18:28 |
| bjorn_ | krytarik, how stupid am I? | 18:28 |
| bjorn_ | :) | 18:28 |
| krytarik | lol | 18:29 |
| krytarik | bjorn_: Well, one would usually think to go by 'protocol', I guess. :P | 18:29 |
| krytarik | I.e. see after the next login, at least. | 18:30 |
| krytarik | bjorn_: And apologies for shooting that link so comment-less there, wasn't in the mood of typing anything there. :P | 18:32 |
| bjorn_ | krytarik, i will try it out more in detail later, but i think its an improvement | 18:34 |
| krytarik | bjorn_: So it works now? | 18:35 |
| bjorn_ | krytarik, Maybe, I have not had any issues yet at least :) | 18:38 |
| bjorn_ | well, thanks and se you later. | 18:38 |
