| lucas21 | #lubuntu es | 13:01 |
| onla | is there an app like xosd in ubuntu repositories? "xosd displays text on your screen, sounds simple right ? The difference is it is unmanaged and shaped, so it appears transparent. It's excellent for notifications." | 14:13 |
| onla | I want to see a popup window or something like this appear on my screen when I execute a certain command | 14:14 |
| onla | or linux terminal command on xs creen | 14:17 |
| onla | oh there is.. lets see if it can do | 14:20 |
| ianorlin | onla there is lxsession-message-gtk to make a popup message | 17:24 |
| econdudeawesome | howdy all. Trying to get a Belkin AC Dual-Band WiFi USB adapter to work with Lubuntu. Not sure how to go about this, even to see if it is being recognized by the system | 18:35 |
| ianorlin | not sure how to get a popup notification can you open lxterminal and run lsusb so I can have some informatoin about the kind of usb adaptor | 18:36 |
| econdudeawesome | ianorlin: sure. Should I post to pastebin? | 18:36 |
| ianorlin | yes | 18:37 |
| econdudeawesome | looks like it's showing up as device 7: http://pastebin.com/ecUUnFPe | 18:37 |
| econdudeawesome | how can I then configure the wifi? I've been using GNOME or XMONAD too long :/ | 18:39 |
| ianorlin | econdudeawesome: can you run it agian as lsusb -v | 18:39 |
| ianorlin | have you tried hitting alt-f2 and running nm-applet? | 18:40 |
| ianorlin | that is a known bug and in the release notes | 18:40 |
| econdudeawesome | certainly: http://pastebin.com/ErKZZ7rw | 18:42 |
| econdudeawesome | no new icon appeared when I ran nm-applet | 18:42 |
| ianorlin | which version of lubuntu are you on? | 18:47 |
| econdudeawesome | hmm | 18:50 |
| econdudeawesome | should be 14.04, let me check | 18:50 |
| econdudeawesome | 14.04 | 18:51 |
| meek_geek | I own a 1ghz dual core netbook | 19:10 |
| meek_geek | i use xubuntu it runs fine | 19:10 |
| meek_geek | Would lubuntu make it any better or faster ? | 19:10 |
| meek_geek | ? | 19:11 |
| wxl | meek_geek: likely | 19:12 |
| econdudeawesome | I found Lubuntu has a lot less overhead on my netbook. I dont use the standard GUI any more though; I run XMONAD. LXDE however runs well, even with 1Ghz dual core | 19:12 |
| meek_geek | oh | 19:12 |
| meek_geek | I would try it | 19:13 |
| wxl | openbox is pretty fast | 19:14 |
| meek_geek | can you share a screenshot of the file manager ? | 19:14 |
| econdudeawesome | ianorlin: Found a ping: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/240676 | 19:14 |
| wxl | admittedly i use awesome | 19:14 |
| meek_geek | wxl, do you know xubuntu + openbox distro ? | 19:14 |
| econdudeawesome | Most overhead is simply in the gui, right? Openbox is going to be fast regardless of underlying architecture? (I'm not 100% confident on this assertion) | 19:14 |
| meek_geek | econdudeawesome, I used Openbox + Debian it was snappy | 19:15 |
| wxl | meek_geek: you can set up xubuntu with openbox | 19:15 |
| meek_geek | But the only issues was Debian's old kernel | 19:15 |
| econdudeawesome | meek_geek: indeed, it would be | 19:15 |
| meek_geek | I used from Debian to Xubuntu | 19:15 |
| econdudeawesome | lubuntu can be nice. If you're needing real speed, trying building up from ubuntu minimal and only putting on the gui components you really want | 19:15 |
| econdudeawesome | save hard drive space + build up for nice speed | 19:16 |
| meek_geek | but people say anything ubuntu based is spying on you and bad for security | 19:16 |
| econdudeawesome | who says that? | 19:16 |
| ianorlin | that was in unity really and has an off button | 19:16 |
| meek_geek | prism-break.org <-- this site and many other people | 19:16 |
| econdudeawesome | If you do a full Ubuntu install you have the Amazon spyglass that was a big fracas, but it's quick to unintall | 19:16 |
| meek_geek | Ok | 19:17 |
| meek_geek | lubuntu seems fast | 19:17 |
| meek_geek | I would download and try it | 19:17 |
| econdudeawesome | test | 19:24 |
| econdudeawesome | weird | 19:24 |
| econdudeawesome | irssi going buggy on me | 19:24 |
| meek_geek | econdudeawesome, dya use prop. softwares? | 19:36 |
| econdudeawesome | what? | 19:36 |
| econdudeawesome | also, ianorlin, I seem to hit a snag in installing the driver. I'm not familiar with make install--how to debug? | 19:36 |
| meek_geek | non-free do u use it? | 19:36 |
| econdudeawesome | on occasion. I really like sublime-text, for example. | 19:36 |
| meek_geek | econdudeawesome, its prop right ? | 19:45 |
| andgastaldo | h | 20:40 |
| onla | ianorlin: thanks! though I found what I wanted and what I wanted was to translate with google translate a text that I have selected to clipboard on key press, and using google translate cli, xclip and aosd_cat with autokey I am getting a nice fade in - fade out of the translation with the following system.exec_command('trs "$(xclip -o)" |aosd_cat -n "Arial Black 80" -u 2000 -o 1000 -R red -S none -f 0 -y -10') | 21:20 |
| ianorlin | that is long enough you probably want a script for it | 21:21 |
| onla | yeh, well that command is added to the autokey to execute it on keypress :) | 21:21 |
| onla | autokeys gui | 21:21 |
| ianorlin | or that works as well | 21:21 |
| onla | not sure if it was here or #linux where my 68xsomething terminal resolution was a topic. they said that 80xsomething is the standard minimum, but I can't have it, since I am using a large enough font on my terminal, so that I can see the irssi text from 3m distance | 21:48 |
| onla | they said that I should change my irssi font size, but on #irssi they say that you can't change irssis font size, that it's the terminal font size | 21:49 |
