[01:19] <ianorlin> Replop: for the command line there is smbclient but I personally don't use samba
[01:20] <ianorlin> the -i option would work for the ip adress

[01:25] <holstein> Replop: you can add gigolo, which is a nice GUI tool for mounting network shares
[01:32] <Replop> I tried smb4k but didn't got any share mounted.
[01:32] <Replop> trying gigolo now
[01:33] <holstein> Replop: the trick is, you need to mount the share somewhere, or use samba
[01:33] <holstein> !samba

[01:52] <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
[01:54] <holstein> right.. its a nice GUI tool
[01:55] <holstein> for many network shares.. ssh, samba.. ftp.. sftp.. handy
[02:02] <Replop> it showed only one share , the one the file browser had already mounted by not made accessible to terminal
[02:03] <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.
[02:04] <Replop> PCManFM , the default file manager , mount shares to strange places
[02:04] <Replop> in the depths of /run
[02:05] <holstein> Replop: mount where you like, friend

[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
[02:08] <Replop> mounting stuff could be a one clic process
[02:08] <holstein> Replop: sure.. feel free and file a wishlist bug, if you like

[02:09] <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
[02:10] <holstein> ^ note the "windows" share
[02:10] <Replop> noted
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <Replop> gigolo works great :)
[02:14] <holstein> also, main ubuntu may have tools that automatically try and integrate with windows shares like that "out of the box"
[02:19] <Replop> possibly. but that is an older machine and the main ubuntu distrib was a bit slow
[02:20] <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
[02:21] <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
[02:27] <Replop> good night
[06:43] <mojo706> since lxle seems to be dead
[06:43] <mojo706> can I get help with booting options when net booting
[06:44] <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?
[06:48] <Unit193> As a rule, we don't support derivatives in here.
[06:55] <mojo706> ok tell me how you would do that in lubuntu
[06:56] <mojo706> Unit193, I will use the same when booting lxle
[06:56] <mojo706> please
[06:59] <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.
[07:03] <mojo706> so telling me how to add boot options on lubuntu is supporting lxle? how
[07:04] <mojo706> btw its a net install
[07:05] <Unit193> So, not netbooting, but using the mini.iso?  That doesn't have a "graphical" installer exactly, but an ncurses one.
[07:08] <mojo706> no I am net booting
[07:09] <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
[07:11] <mojo706> Unit193, can you help?
[12:13] <switchtehbeat> how do I change power settings in lubuntu on a laptop/netbook?
[12:13] <switchtehbeat> the screen brightness won't go down for some reason :/
[12:33] <switchtehbeat> anyone?
[12:56] <switchtehbeat> google helped me sort it :)
[13:56] <phillw> switchtehbeat: hi, it's always worth checking on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ if a solution is not there and you find, please do add it so others can more quickly solve thee issue that you had.
[13:57] <phillw> we can tidy up an entry, just get the instructions on there :)
[16:41] <mhlds> cant find steam in lubuntu software center :s
[16:43] <testdr> mhlds: maybe you try "synaptic" and search for steam
[16:47] <genii> You might need to add multiverse
[17:09] <mhlds> genii how do i do that?
[17:14] <genii> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding_Ubuntu_Software_Repositories
[17:15] <mhlds> thx :)
[17:16] <mhlds> btw. is it any programs like powerdvd to linux? i want to play bluray iso files with the menus and all that
[17:17] <genii> BluRay is problemmatic under linux, unfortunately
[17:17] <mhlds> i see :\

[19:41] <Gatis> Why openbox-themes package was taken away from Ubuntu 14.04 repository?

[19:49] <wxl> !info openbox-themes

[19:49] <wxl> quite old indeed
[19:52] <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?
[19:53] <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
[19:54] <Gatis> wxl, you be nice
[19:54] <Gatis> all of you
[19:54] <genii> I guess i could have not been so snarky.
[19:55] <wxl> genii: i laughed at your obviously not serious comment
[19:55] <Unit193> https://github.com/mulberry?tab=repositories has a couple.
