[02:39] westmi: what are you doing to faciliate the vpn connect? in wicd? [07:08] 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. [10:31] How can I autorun some command when I open Lxterminal ? [10:37] B_Little what exactly do you need to do? [10:38] can you explain from "a" to "b" ? [10:38] B_Little time flies, are you still here? [10:40] melodie: hi [10:42] melodie: I have a Lxterminal shortcut on my desktop, I want to start irssi when I doubleclick it [10:50] open your lxterminal shortcut with a text editor, leafpad or whatever and paste the content to http://pastebin.com [10:50] I'll look at it and tell you what it lacks [10:50] ok tnx [10:52] melodie: http://pastebin.com/pvZwreUS [10:52] 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] B_Little I test [10:53] normally you should not [10:53] just wait a second [10:54] I need to install lxterminal then test your command line [10:55] isnt Lxterminal included by default in lubuntu ? [10:55] B_Little [10:55] you have: [10:56] Exec=lxterminal --geometry=120x35 irssi [10:56] try instead: [10:56] Exec=lxterminal --geometry=120x35 -e irssi [10:56] melodie: ill try now [10:56] I don't use Lubuntu, I use Bento which is using Openbox with very few components from Lxde [10:56] ;) [10:57] melodie: great it works tnx, I must have searched for wrong info online cause the solution seems simple [10:58] 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] B_Little next time you take the command line and paste it to the terminal, to see what it produces [10:58] then you can also type "lxterminal --help" to see the options [10:59] melodie: ok tnx ill check the helpfile now [10:59] :) [10:59] ok [11:00] ok it seems to work :) [11:01] ho ho [11:01] I get further: [11:02] Exec=lxterminal --geometry=120x35 -e 'irssi -c irc.freenode.net' [11:02] this works [11:02] connected directly to freenode [11:02] now what about a chan? [11:02] cool [11:02] try "irssi --help" there are the options [11:02] maybe the man would help to find out for the chans [11:08] yes it does [11:10] B_Little so have you found the option to connect directly to the chan too? [11:11] yes [11:11] and saved the config [11:11] can you tell me the option, so I don't need to seek for it? [11:13] sure [11:13] { name = "#lubuntu"; chatnet = "freenode"; autojoin = "yes"; }, [11:16] but I did it in irrsi [11:17] so you don't have it in the Exec= command line of your desktop file? [11:17] that part not [11:17] this would be the aim [11:18] there isn't much missing [11:18] the part i have in my desktop file is connecting to the server [11:18] I look if I find how to add an option for the chan [11:18] no indeed, i think -channel #test might do the trick [11:19] ill try that out [11:19] -channel is not an irssi option [11:19] not found in the man [11:21] i doublecheck it [11:22] I test on a machine which is besindes me but I was disconnected there, I had to replug the cable [11:23] crummy cable [11:26] bad cable, changed cable :) [11:27] B_Little I have a bit more: [11:28] Exec=lxterminal --geometry=120x35 -e 'irssi -c irc.freenode.net -n my_nick -w my_password' [11:28] I still try to find how to add a direct command to be in a give chan automagically [11:31] B_Little ok, you can do the rest in the irssi.conf file [11:32] as you can provide a custom configuration file and add the option in the command line: [11:33] Exec=lxterminal --geometry=120x35 -e 'irssi -c irc.freenode.net -n my_nick -w my_password --config /path/to/custom_file' [11:33] B_Little and from there you are now one click away from your favorite chan [11:34] melodie: i see tnx ive added that too [11:34] :) [11:42] B_Little I have setup such desktop files before, I did that for the command line which allows configuring the keyboard mapping [11:43] 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] ok, im tweaking it a little more now [11:46] B_Little you are one more happy user! :D [11:46] yes :) === gunnar is now known as gunnarrr === gunnarrr is now known as dartz === dartz is now known as dartz_lu [14:35] hello everyone [14:36] I need a bit of help. [14:36] I installed Lubuntu 12.04 on a spare HDD in one PC. Then I moved it to another, older P4 machine [14:36] I keep getting thrown to grub rescue command line with something missing [14:37] 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 [14:38] I can't figure out how to fix it [14:38] Should I give up and tell the owner to junk it and get something newer? [15:34] 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. [15:40] Here's what I mean about the icons: http://i.imgur.com/Nh15TSs.png [16:04] 60 and 90 seconds seems pretty nice [16:04] i mean, linux nor lubuntu makes any hardware faster. they just typically use less resources [16:05] are the power icons like that out of the box? or on the live CD? or as another user? [16:06] 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] When I first ran it I almost thought it crashed [16:07] configX: could be gtk related.. could be a different graphics driver, or some other issue [16:07] unless it was mate on 14.04 with the exact same packages other than just mate vs lxde, it really could be anything [16:08] 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] That's true [16:10] Is Lubuntu not supposed to be verbose at all during startup? [16:10] configX: that has been my findings.. though, it can depend on what messages are coming from where [16:10] i have one message about a broadcom chip on one machine.. on others, no messages [16:12] With the icons I don't recall changing anything after a fresh install [16:13] 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 [16:14] Good idea, I'll give that a try. [17:14] 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] why in autostart does not work [17:15] ? [17:16] the command is correct [17:16] I checked it [17:16] disper? [17:16] yes [17:16] it is like xrandr [17:17] but I think disper is better [17:17] for setting dual monitor [17:22] anyone uses disper? [17:22] * ianorlin uses arandr but doesn't autostart it [17:23] well I have permanent dual screen and I would like to autostart [17:26] in fact it was working in previous lubuntu version [17:26] but after upgrade I cannot set it to work [17:27] are you trying to autostart it by putting a file in a folder? [17:27] yes [17:27] i put a file in /etc. [17:28] sorry [17:28] in /etc/xdg/autostart [17:28] oh have you tried going to deafult apps for lxsession and putting disable autostart locations to no? [17:29] no I dont think zI disabled [17:29] i create a file disper.desktop [17:29] it might be by a stupid default [17:30] xm [17:32] how to enable autostart [17:32] ? [17:33] I also put another app in autostart and it works [17:33] about altshift toggle [17:33] language [18:02] Hello, someone know how to make the touchpad inactive while writing? My netbook is driving me mad. [18:05] bjorn_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse#Touchpad_settings [18:08] krytarik, thanks [18:09] bjorn_: Tell me if it works. :) [18:18] krytarik, i think i will have to restart and its not possible right now i [18:20] bjorn_: Actually, just run the command given there manually, to apply it right away. [18:28] krytarik, [18:28] krytarik, how stupid am I? [18:28] :) [18:29] lol [18:29] bjorn_: Well, one would usually think to go by 'protocol', I guess. :P [18:30] I.e. see after the next login, at least. [18:32] bjorn_: And apologies for shooting that link so comment-less there, wasn't in the mood of typing anything there. :P [18:34] krytarik, i will try it out more in detail later, but i think its an improvement [18:35] bjorn_: So it works now? [18:38] krytarik, Maybe, I have not had any issues yet at least :) [18:38] well, thanks and se you later. === LarrySteeze is now known as LarrySteeze|Away
