"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." [14:14] I want to see a popup window or something like this appear on my screen when I execute a certain command [14:17] or linux terminal command on xs creen [14:20] oh there is.. lets see if it can do [17:24] onla there is lxsession-message-gtk to make a popup message [18:35] 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 [18:36] 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] ianorlin: sure. Should I post to pastebin? [18:37] yes [18:37] looks like it's showing up as device 7: http://pastebin.com/ecUUnFPe [18:39] how can I then configure the wifi? I've been using GNOME or XMONAD too long :/ [18:39] econdudeawesome: can you run it agian as lsusb -v [18:40] have you tried hitting alt-f2 and running nm-applet? [18:40] that is a known bug and in the release notes [18:42] certainly: http://pastebin.com/ErKZZ7rw [18:42] no new icon appeared when I ran nm-applet [18:47] which version of lubuntu are you on? [18:50] hmm [18:50] should be 14.04, let me check [18:51] 14.04 [19:10] I own a 1ghz dual core netbook [19:10] i use xubuntu it runs fine [19:10] Would lubuntu make it any better or faster ? [19:11] ? [19:12] meek_geek: likely [19:12] 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] oh [19:13] I would try it [19:14] openbox is pretty fast [19:14] can you share a screenshot of the file manager ? [19:14] ianorlin: Found a ping: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/240676 [19:14] admittedly i use awesome [19:14] wxl, do you know xubuntu + openbox distro ? [19:14] 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) [19:15] econdudeawesome, I used Openbox + Debian it was snappy [19:15] meek_geek: you can set up xubuntu with openbox [19:15] But the only issues was Debian's old kernel [19:15] meek_geek: indeed, it would be [19:15] I used from Debian to Xubuntu [19:15] 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 [19:16] save hard drive space + build up for nice speed [19:16] but people say anything ubuntu based is spying on you and bad for security [19:16] who says that? [19:16] that was in unity really and has an off button [19:16] prism-break.org <-- this site and many other people [19:16] If you do a full Ubuntu install you have the Amazon spyglass that was a big fracas, but it's quick to unintall [19:17] Ok [19:17] lubuntu seems fast [19:17] I would download and try it [19:24] test [19:24] weird [19:24] irssi going buggy on me [19:36] econdudeawesome, dya use prop. softwares? [19:36] what? [19:36] also, ianorlin, I seem to hit a snag in installing the driver. I'm not familiar with make install--how to debug? [19:36] non-free do u use it? [19:36] on occasion. I really like sublime-text, for example. [19:45] econdudeawesome, its prop right ? [20:40] h [21:20] 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') [21:21] that is long enough you probably want a script for it [21:21] yeh, well that command is added to the autokey to execute it on keypress :) [21:21] autokeys gui [21:21] or that works as well [21:48] 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 [21:49] 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
