[00:09] <phillw> koell: the default works if both screens are similar resolution. if not, I'd suggest getting arandr
[00:20] <koell> aptik works like a charm :3
[00:24] <phillw> koell: When I do go to places for over head projectors, I just check I have ArandR installed :)
[00:28] <koell> phillw: arandr, xrandr, im confused xD
[00:33] <phillw> koell: if you need two screens on differing sizes, go into LSC and pull in ArandR via the graphics stuff
[04:28] <indn1234> Yo guys, I wanna disable the ubuntu style scrolling on my lubuntu-desktop environment, and go back to old school scrolling side bars. Can I do that? How?
[04:44] <MeXTuX> Installed Compton and used this configuration http://www.ivegotavirus.com/how-to-finally-fix-visual-tearing-on-xubuntu-other-ubuntu-based-distros/ but the main menu disappears. Any idea? My graphics card is a Sumo [Radeon HD 6480G] and installed propietary drivers
[11:38] <ripthejacker> Need help, Lubuntu is not able to resolve .local addresses
[11:41] <ripthejacker> Ok fixed it by installing avahi-daemon
[13:58] <koell> Do you know a clicki-way to mount a nfs share in pcmanfm? Does pcmanfm support that feature?
[14:25] <holstein> koell: try gigolo
[14:25] <holstein> !info gigolo
[14:26] <koell> okey thanks =)
[14:26] <holstein> this will mount, and you can navigate in whatever filemanager..
[14:27] <koell> sadly, such feature is not integrated in the filemanagers itself
[14:28] <holstein> koell: sure, they are
[14:28] <koell> pcmanfm?
[14:28] <holstein> koell: you are using lubuntu, with lxde, with "light" choices by default
[14:28] <koell> i guess a mounting feature is lightweight enough =)
[14:28] <holstein> if you want to make a compromise for something heavier, with the functionality you want, you can.. or, use gigolo, which is quite light..or mount in the CLI
[14:28] <holstein> !mount
[14:29] <koell> yes cli is easy, but not for my dad :D
[14:29] <holstein> koell: could be, lxde/lubuntu is "not for dad"..
[14:29] <koell> lol
[14:29] <holstein> a agrue, a new linux user likely shouldnt be mounting nfs shares..
[14:30] <holstein> shouldnt need to*
[14:30] <koell> i know about fstab but it is just a temp mount
[14:30] <koell> maybe samba is better then
[16:08] <twager> Any gotchas on upgrading to utopic ?
[16:15] <phillw> twager: I've been on it since alpha 1... Love it :)
[16:16] <phillw> lubuntu utopic is a bug fix release only, so bugs are fixed that are not yet rolled into 14.04
[16:16] <phillw> twager: that does, however, come with the proviso that something like a kernel update could kill things etc.
[16:17] <twager> phillw, Thanks will set it to upgrade and give it a try..Must move abt 60g music first in case of failure :-)
[16:18] <phillw> always keep a backup! one good little hint is to make a separate /home partition :)
[16:21] <twager> I have a spare external drive I keep all my rubbish on..I have 4 partitions already on this drive so no room for a seperate home.
[16:22] <phillw> twager: if you're going to run 14.10, then have a read of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing and join that mailing list.
[16:26] <twager> phillw:  Thanks for all the info will leave now and give it a try..
[16:29] <phillw> twager: tidy the drive up, and use the extended partition area (should be swap) to add a new area.
[16:30] <phillw> I use LVM, but that's a bit geeky for most people :)
[16:31] <twager> OK..bbl I hope
[17:25] <twager> phillw: ?
[17:26] <phillw> twager: you're alive!
[17:26] <twager> And kicking with a new lubuntu !!
[17:27] <twager> Upgrade was faultless
[17:27] <phillw> twager:  shh... say yes ....
[17:28] <twager> Must leave box to get my dinner...bbl
[19:38] <deitarion> Dragging and dropping VDPAU-mode MPlayer or Chromium is horrendously slow and laggy with or without compton. I'm running nvidia-current. Is this regression since 12.04 a known issue?
[19:38] <deitarion> s/dragging and dropping/drag-moving/
[19:39] <deitarion> Also, without Compton, Geeqie's damage handling is horrendously broken.
[19:40] <deitarion> The only potentially relevant EE/WW line in Xorg.0.conf is "NVIDIA(0): Option "TwinView" is not used"
[19:44] <phillw> deitarion: can you hang on, a guy I know who is good at this issue has been paged and will be along when he gets chance.
[19:44] <phillw> just be patient :)
[19:44] <deitarion> phillw: No problem.
[19:46] <phillw> deitarion: your looking out for rafaellugna I think he's have his meal, but he will be back.
[19:49] <deitarion> k
[19:58] <phillw> deitarion: it is a driver issue, from my poor memory, what is the card ?
[20:02] <deitarion> GeForce GT430
[20:10] <phillw> deitarion: try http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-geforce-driver-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-using-ppa/ (close the advert)
[20:12] <deitarion> If it's just a matter of installing a newer driver, then I'll try switching from `nvidia-current` to `nvidia-331` first. The fewer PPAs I need, the less I have to keep track of.
[20:14] <deitarion> ...after I finish catching up on certain YouTube vids.
[22:16] <comics_idees> how to delete chat history from skype in lubuntu
[22:18] <deitarion> comics_idees: Wouldn't that be a general "How do I delete the chat history in Skype for Linux version X?" question?
[22:19] <comics_idees> yes for linux Skype version 4.3 how do I delete chat history
[22:20] <deitarion> comics_idees: Unfortunately, I can't answer that one because I'm still on Skype 2.2 beta. (The last version of Skype that works without PulseAudio)
[22:21] <deitarion> (After about half a dozen "it's better now"s, I gave up on that pile of bugs and adopted an "ALSA dmix only" policy.)
[22:22] <phillw> deitarion: did you try the new drivers?
[22:22] <deitarion> phillw: Not yet. Too much hassle to end my desktop session right now.
[22:23] <deitarion> I'll probably batch up a whole bunch of fixes I need to test first. (stuff like moving all my autostarts out of lxsession so they actually work)
[22:23] <phillw> okies
[22:25] <comics_idees> well I still need to delete messages from history in skype, how to do this
[22:27] <deitarion> comics_idees: All chat history or just some of it?
[22:27] <phillw> comics_idees: http://askubuntu.com/questions/380489/how-to-clear-skype-chat-history
[22:28] <phillw> however the NSA will retain all records
[22:40] <onla_> any popular fps game have a linux version?
[22:41] <deitarion> onla_: Define "popular". DOOM, Quake, and various Unreal Tournament games have Linux ports, but I suspect you mean "popular currently".
[22:41] <onla_> ye
[22:42] <onla_> jwas just watching cs:go tournament on finnish tv and mah mates wants we make a team
[22:42] <onla_> just saw that they are developing the linux port
[22:43] <onla_> also world of tanks would be of interest, but the wine tutorial was only if I didnt have win already installed which I have in form of playonlinux so no idea how to approad
[22:43] <onla_> ch
[22:43] <onla_> I guess I could get idea if I read 10 pages of text
[22:43] <deitarion> onla_: PlayOnLinux sets up alternate Wine prefixes. You can still use the default Wine prefix normally.
[22:44] <deitarion> Anyway, I'm not big on FPS games (the last ones I played were probably Half-Life, the original Unreal Tournament, and Tribes 2) but, if you're not a hardline anti-DRMer like me, I'd check out what Steam has to offer.
[22:45] <deitarion> I seem to remember a fair number of Source engine ports.
[22:45] <onla_> ok
[22:46] <deitarion> In fact, if you're not a hard-line Anti-DRMer, Steam is a good place to start looking for Linux stuff, period.
[22:47] <deitarion> At least half my IsThereAnyDeal.com waitlist is stuff where I'm not actually waiting for a price, but for a sale from a store that doesn't do Steam keys.
