| ianorlin | Replop: for the command line there is smbclient but I personally don't use samba | 01:19 |

| ianorlin | the -i option would work for the ip adress | 01:20 |
| holstein | !info gigolo | 01:24 |
| ubottu | gigolo (source: gigolo): frontend to manage connections to remote filesystems using GIO/GVfs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.2-1 (trusty), package size 130 kB, installed size 1001 kB | 01:24 |
| holstein | Replop: you can add gigolo, which is a nice GUI tool for mounting network shares | 01:25 |
| Replop | I tried smb4k but didn't got any share mounted. | 01:32 |
| Replop | trying gigolo now | 01:32 |
| holstein | Replop: the trick is, you need to mount the share somewhere, or use samba | 01:33 |
| holstein | !samba | 01:33 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html | 01:33 |
| Replop | oh neat | 01:52 |
| Replop | trying to mount the share lead to headaches , smb4k didn't work as well as advertised , but gigolo did it in 3 clics | 01:52 |
| holstein | right.. its a nice GUI tool | 01:54 |
| holstein | for many network shares.. ssh, samba.. ftp.. sftp.. handy | 01:55 |
| Replop | it showed only one share , the one the file browser had already mounted by not made accessible to terminal | 02:02 |
| holstein | Replop: you can cd to the location you tell gigolo to mount to.. | 02:03 |
| holstein | or, manually mount | 02:03 |
| Replop | can't cd smb://host/share | 02:03 |
| holstein | you cant just "willy nilly" cd to "smb://someip/where-ever" | 02:03 |
| holstein | Replop: correct | 02:03 |
| holstein | Replop: you *mount* the share.. then, cd to the mount point | 02:03 |
| Replop | yeah. | 02:03 |
| Replop | PCManFM , the default file manager , mount shares to strange places | 02:04 |
| Replop | in the depths of /run | 02:04 |
| holstein | Replop: mount where you like, friend | 02:05 |
| holstein | !mount | 02:05 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 02:05 |
| holstein | !samba | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html | 02:05 |
| holstein | Replop: the problem is not where things are mounting..if you want to mount them elsewhere, do so. the issue is that you are not cd-ing to the mounted location | 02:05 |
| Replop | mounting stuff could be a one clic process | 02:08 |
| holstein | Replop: sure.. feel free and file a wishlist bug, if you like | 02:08 |
| holstein | !bug | 02:08 |

| holstein | Replop: ideally, windows could integrate a tool into the windows operating system to make it easier. or just automatically work | 02:09 |
| Replop | windows ? | 02:09 |
| holstein | Replop: i use gigolo, and it seems to work pretty easily, considering, the windows shares never promised i could access them from anything but windows | 02:09 |
| holstein | Replop: samba | 02:09 |
| holstein | !samba | 02:09 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html | 02:09 |
| holstein | ^ note the "windows" share | 02:10 |
| Replop | noted | 02:10 |
| holstein | otherwise, there are many ways to mount network shares in native filesystems that you may find "easier".. though, typically with convinience comes the compromise in security | 02:11 |
| Replop | well, those shares are actually on a nas running some flavor of linux and using cifs, so I presume I could have done that without samba at all, but this did seem the easiest | 02:11 |
| Replop | gigolo works great :) | 02:12 |
| holstein | also, main ubuntu may have tools that automatically try and integrate with windows shares like that "out of the box" | 02:14 |
| Replop | possibly. but that is an older machine and the main ubuntu distrib was a bit slow | 02:19 |
| holstein | Replop: sure.. these integrated tools that make it easy, such as providing a method for you to just 'click and mount shares' can be heavier | 02:20 |
| holstein | Replop: those arguably advanced "nice-ities" are not usually in the ligher distros | 02:20 |
| holstein | its usually a compromise, though.. between functionality and lightness | 02:21 |
| Replop | for now, I'm starting from a light base and adding as needed, hoping to don't go too far | 02:21 |
| Replop | for now, that's ok | 02:21 |
| Replop | good night | 02:27 |
| mojo706 | since lxle seems to be dead | 06:43 |
| mojo706 | can I get help with booting options when net booting | 06:43 |
| mojo706 | I meant the #lxle channel | 06:44 |
| mojo706 | is there a way when netbooting I could set it not to use the graphical installer? | 06:44 |
| Unit193 | As a rule, we don't support derivatives in here. | 06:48 |
| mojo706 | ok tell me how you would do that in lubuntu | 06:55 |
| mojo706 | Unit193, I will use the same when booting lxle | 06:56 |
| mojo706 | please | 06:56 |
| Unit193 | Sounds like what I said. And don't add 'ubiquity' to the boot options, by default it boots into a live env, not the installer. | 06:59 |
| mojo706 | so telling me how to add boot options on lubuntu is supporting lxle? how | 07:03 |
| mojo706 | btw its a net install | 07:04 |
| Unit193 | So, not netbooting, but using the mini.iso? That doesn't have a "graphical" installer exactly, but an ncurses one. | 07:05 |
| mojo706 | no I am net booting | 07:08 |
| mojo706 | I have a PXE server | 07:09 |
| mojo706 | but it gets stuck when trying to load the gui | 07:09 |
| mojo706 | I dont know why | 07:09 |
| mojo706 | Unit193, can you help? | 07:11 |
| switchtehbeat | how do I change power settings in lubuntu on a laptop/netbook? | 12:13 |

| switchtehbeat | anyone? | 12:33 |
| switchtehbeat | google helped me sort it :) | 12:56 |

| phillw | we can tidy up an entry, just get the instructions on there :) | 13:57 |
| mhlds | cant find steam in lubuntu software center :s | 16:41 |
| testdr | mhlds: maybe you try "synaptic" and search for steam | 16:43 |
| genii | You might need to add multiverse | 16:47 |
| mhlds | genii how do i do that? | 17:09 |
| genii | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding_Ubuntu_Software_Repositories | 17:14 |
| mhlds | thx :) | 17:15 |
| mhlds | btw. is it any programs like powerdvd to linux? i want to play bluray iso files with the menus and all that | 17:16 |
| genii | BluRay is problemmatic under linux, unfortunately | 17:17 |

| wxl | !info openbox-themes | 19:49 |
| ubottu | Package openbox-themes does not exist in trusty | 19:49 |
| wxl | !info openbox-themes saucy | 19:49 |
| ubottu | 'saucy' is not a valid distribution: extras, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, stable, testing, trusty, trusty-backports, trusty-proposed, unstable, utopic, utopic-backports, utopic-proposed | 19:49 |
| wxl | oh fooey | 19:49 |
| Unit193 | wxl: Precise, man, it's old. | 19:49 |
| wxl | !info openbox-themes precise | 19:49 |
| ubottu | openbox-themes (source: openbox-themes): Themes for the Openbox window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.2 (precise), package size 218 kB, installed size 6132 kB | 19:49 |
| wxl | quite old indeed | 19:49 |
| wxl | well there was a new maintainer in 1.0.2. so that might have been the problem :) | 19:52 |
| Gatis | So | 19:52 |
| Gatis | What now? | 19:52 |
| Unit193 | The mail kind of said it, dead upstream. | 19:52 |
| wxl | oh i didn't see said mail | 19:52 |
| Gatis | so i shouldn't install it? | 19:52 |
| wxl | suffice it to say, Gatis, no one is maintaining it. like not for ubuntu. not for debian. not for ANYONE ANYWHERE. | 19:53 |
| wxl | perhaps a better way to put it is that you CAN'T install it | 19:53 |
| Gatis | but why would you need to maintain themes? | 19:53 |
| Gatis | that's pitty | 19:53 |
| wxl | you could try to track down an old version and install it from source, but you're on your own | 19:53 |
| genii | It will eat your children and houseplants if you do | 19:53 |
| wxl | Gatis: because the software the themes run on changes | 19:53 |
| Gatis | genii, fool | 19:53 |
| wxl | oh now be nice Gatis | 19:53 |
| Gatis | wxl, you be nice | 19:54 |
| Gatis | all of you | 19:54 |
| genii | I guess i could have not been so snarky. | 19:54 |
| wxl | genii: i laughed at your obviously not serious comment | 19:55 |
