[02:39] <holstein> westmi: what are you doing to faciliate the vpn connect? in wicd?
[07:08] <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.
[10:31] <B_Little> How can I autorun some command when I open Lxterminal ?
[10:37] <melodie> B_Little what exactly do you need to do?
[10:38] <melodie> can you explain from "a" to "b" ?
[10:38] <melodie> B_Little time flies, are you still here?
[10:40] <B_Little> melodie: hi
[10:42] <B_Little> melodie: I have a Lxterminal shortcut on my desktop, I want to start irssi when I doubleclick it
[10:50] <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
[10:52] <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
[10:53] <melodie> normally you should not
[10:53] <melodie> just wait a second
[10:54] <melodie> I need to install lxterminal then test your command line
[10:55] <B_Little> isnt Lxterminal included by default in lubuntu ?
[10:55] <melodie> B_Little
[10:55] <melodie> you have:
[10:56] <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> ;)
[10:57] <B_Little> melodie: great it works tnx, I must have searched for wrong info online cause the solution seems simple
[10:58] <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
[10:59] <B_Little> melodie: ok tnx ill check the helpfile now
[10:59] <melodie> :)
[10:59] <melodie> ok
[11:00] <B_Little> ok it seems to work :)
[11:01] <melodie> ho ho
[11:01] <melodie> I get further:
[11:02] <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
[11:08] <B_Little> yes it does
[11:10] <melodie> B_Little so have you found the option to connect directly to the chan too?
[11:11] <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?
[11:13] <B_Little> sure
[11:13] <B_Little> { name = "#lubuntu"; chatnet = "freenode"; autojoin = "yes"; },
[11:16] <B_Little> but I did it in irrsi
[11:17] <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
[11:18] <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
[11:19] <B_Little> ill try that out
[11:19] <melodie> -channel is not an irssi option
[11:19] <melodie> not found in the man
[11:21] <B_Little> i doublecheck it
[11:22] <melodie> I test on a machine which is besindes me but I was disconnected there, I had to replug the cable
[11:23] <melodie> crummy cable
[11:26] <melodie> bad cable, changed cable :)
[11:27] <melodie> B_Little I have a bit more:
[11:28] <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
[11:31] <melodie> B_Little ok, you can do the rest in the irssi.conf file
[11:32] <melodie> as you can provide a custom configuration file and add the option in the command line:
[11:33] <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
[11:34] <B_Little> melodie: i see tnx ive added that too
[11:34] <melodie> :)
[11:42] <melodie> B_Little I have setup such desktop files before, I did that for the command line which allows configuring the keyboard mapping
[11:43] <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
[11:46] <melodie> B_Little you are one more happy user! :D
[11:46] <B_Little> yes :)
[14:35] <dartz_lu> hello everyone
[14:36] <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
[14:37] <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
[14:38] <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?
[15:34] <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.
[15:40] <configX> Here's what I mean about the icons: http://i.imgur.com/Nh15TSs.png
[16:04] <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
[16:05] <holstein> are the power icons like that out of the box? or on the live CD? or as another user?
[16:06] <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
[16:07] <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
[16:08] <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
[16:10] <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
[16:12] <configX> With the icons I don't recall changing anything after a fresh install
[16:13] <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
[16:14] <configX> Good idea, I'll give that a try.
[17:14] <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
[17:15] <comics_idees> ?
[17:16] <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
[17:17] <comics_idees> but I think disper is better
[17:17] <comics_idees> for setting dual monitor
[17:22] <comics_idees> anyone uses disper?
[17:22]  * ianorlin uses arandr but doesn't autostart it
[17:23] <comics_idees> well I have permanent dual screen and I would like to autostart
[17:26] <comics_idees> in fact it was working in previous lubuntu version
[17:26] <comics_idees> but after upgrade I cannot set it to work
[17:27] <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.
[17:28] <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?
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <comics_idees> xm
[17:32] <comics_idees> how to enable autostart
[17:32] <comics_idees> ?
[17:33] <comics_idees> I also put another app in autostart and it works
[17:33] <comics_idees> about altshift toggle
[17:33] <comics_idees> language
[18:02] <bjorn_> Hello, someone know how to make the touchpad inactive while writing? My netbook is driving me mad.
[18:05] <krytarik> bjorn_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse#Touchpad_settings
[18:08] <bjorn_> krytarik, thanks
[18:09] <krytarik> bjorn_: Tell me if it works. :)
[18:18] <bjorn_> krytarik,  i think i will have to restart and its not possible right now i
[18:20] <krytarik> bjorn_: Actually, just run the command given there manually, to apply it right away.
[18:28] <bjorn_> krytarik,
[18:28] <bjorn_> krytarik, how stupid am I?
[18:28] <bjorn_> :)
[18:29] <krytarik> lol
[18:29] <krytarik> bjorn_: Well, one would usually think to go by 'protocol', I guess. :P
[18:30] <krytarik> I.e. see after the next login, at least.
[18:32] <krytarik> bjorn_: And apologies for shooting that link so comment-less there, wasn't in the mood of typing anything there. :P
[18:34] <bjorn_> krytarik, i will try it out more in detail later, but i think its an improvement
[18:35] <krytarik> bjorn_: So it works now?
[18:38] <bjorn_> krytarik, Maybe, I have not had any issues yet at least :)
[18:38] <bjorn_> well, thanks and se you later.
