AhmuckSorry i do not accept the terms at https//wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/TermsOfService by default for using this channel.02:55
tewardAhmuck, if you do not accept the terms then you should leave the channel (by using the channel you automatically accept the Terms Of Service)03:26
Ahmucknot legally so03:26

Ahmuckso, it appears there are two input methods for lubuntu.  my backspace key is not operating in gnucash and i'm wondering if it is because of the two input methods03:32
swift110Hey all03:33
Ahmuckis there a spanish lubuntu channel?03:36
swift110Hmm03:37
Unit193Ahmuck: There is a Spanish channel, but it has the same terms.  If you do not accept those terms, you must /part the channel.03:41
Ahmuckwhat is the name of the spanish channel03:57
Unit193!es04:01
ubottuEn la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro.04:01
Ahmuckdoing a search for xim input method using aptitude does not show it installed.04:03
Unit193Should have lxinput and xinput installed.04:18
Ahmuckthe error indicates that only one input method should be installed but also indicates that two are.  ibus and xim04:19
Ahmucki assume i should be able to remove *xin*04:20
holsteinAhmuck: dont assume.. just try removing, and see what depends on it04:25
Ahmuckya, the problem with that is things tend to break04:27
holsteinAhmuck: *if* something breaks, put it back04:27
Ahmuckas i recall i noted a problem with networking in 14.04 and was told it wasn't a problem and then it showed up as fixed in the bug tracker.  i was right the first time04:27
Ahmuckwhile ubuntu plebs told me i was the one with the problem04:28
holsteinAhmuck: i would just leave it in place, if you are concerned.. why are you trying to remove it? hard drive space? look at see what size it is04:28
Ahmuckwhich, btw, there is still a problem with dup icons in the system tray, battery, network, etc.04:28
holsteinAhmuck: what is an "ubuntu pleb" ?04:28
holsteinAhmuck: i dont have duplicate icons..04:28
Ahmucki'd like to understand the process of the system tray and how those icons are added04:28
Ahmuckwell, seeing as you were the one telling me it wasn't broke when it clearly was as indicated by the bug reports, i would assume you are an ubuntu pleb04:29
holsteinAhmuck: one thing that can be happening for you is, you have had an issue, and tried to add or autostart applications or services to "fix" things04:29
holsteinAhmuck: ?04:29
Ahmuckit's got to be in the log of this channel i am sure04:30
holsteinAhmuck: what is an "ubuntu pleb" ? i didnt say nothings is broken.. im saying, nothing is broken here for me.. and i would be glad to volunteer some time explaing what i think could be happenging to your system04:30
holsteinAhmuck: friend, im asking you now.. what you mean by "ubuntu pleb". i am unfamiliar with that term04:30
Ahmuck"nothing is broken", not "nothings is broken".04:31
Ahmucki'm not going to pursue it04:31
holsteinAhmuck: i would like to explain to you plusible scenarios where, for only your hardware case, things can be broken04:32
holsteinAhmuck: i literallly *cant* persue it.. i dont know what "it" is yet, and i dont have your hardware, and the behavior is not the same on my machines04:32
holsteinAhmuck: i would need you to read..04:32
holstein!bug04:32
ubottuIf you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.04:32
holsteinand, i would need to konw the steps by which you get to what you got to. and try and replicate it04:32
holsteinAhmuck: have you been able to get anyone else to replicate it? do you have other hardware to try and replicate it on?04:33
holsteinAhmuck: otherwise, i consider "pleb" basically name-calling, and i suggest you consider the voluntary nature of *all* the persons in this channel when trying to recieve assistance.. i understand you are frustrated, but, let us try and maintain a constructive attitude04:42
primo_Hi. I got one big problem, Im new in linux, got installed Lubuntu on 3.0 ghz 2gb ram and ati radeon 9200 video card, but I think sistem is lazy like snail07:55
primo_i try install drivers from ati site, but I dont know how, I try with catalyst and fglrx and same result all over07:57
primo_I find few answers "radeon 9200 is not supported in catalyst and flgrx and must install open drivers, but here Im stuck07:59
primo_I find solution on upstream git08:02
primo_but I dont have any idea how to install something from there ?08:02
primo_is anyone here who know how I can make that radeon 9200 usable ?  Thank you08:04
primo_loto08:09
primo_lol sorry I put google search here08:11
bong1hi i have messed around with lxpanel settings like adding the application launch bar and i have removed it, and now what used to be icons on the right side on the panel are now in the middle,  how do i get them back to the right?09:27
testdrbong1: you have modified more than only the deleted item - you can right-click on a free panel-space and in the panel-config-window select the panel-addons and check the list, special the end of the list, because there might be still something taking the space - and feel free to look with google-search for more info about lxpanel-configuration09:34
bong1testdr: there is nothing at the end of the list. and also when i open  a program , theres two windows of it running now.09:42
bong1testdr: ok  i have looked at it long and hard and i have found that it  contains 2 instances of TASK BAR (WINDOW LIST ) running.  i removed the last one and now all is back to what it should be. thanks.10:07
testdrbong1: fine - so the list of addons in the lxpanel was not empty - and maybe as a hint, if you will try more desktop-config-changes it is better to create an additional user and do those tests with such a "dumb" user (that can be deleted completely)10:09
bong1ok.  i have another issue now..   in my messing around, i have also  deleted pcfm and the browser icons in the panel which came preinstalled,  how do i get them back?10:16
testdrbong1: first, dont forget to check some simple docs for lxde -- about icons for programstarts in the panel, same procedure: right-click on free panel-space and add a starter-entry and for this starter-entry you can add programstarters (like for pcfman, firefox, terminal..)10:23
testdrbong1: this is a double procedure. You need to add such a starter-addon to put the startprograms(incl.the icons that appear) -- and from your question about double-started-programms: a icon-starter in the lxpanel is started with only one (1) mouse-click and 2 mouse-clicks will start double10:25
testdrbong1: you may check: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel10:25
bong1testdr: when i right click on the panel, there is nothing that says add a starter entry.10:34
testdrbong1: warning for this procedure! You can reset the lxpanel to the default, if you "cat" the default over your local config like this:  cat /usr/share/lxpanel/profile/Lubuntu/panels/panel   .config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel10:35
testdrbong1: after this "reset" you have to logut and login - (instead of killing the panel)10:35
testdrbong1: sorry for my bad english - i dont know the exact name of this panel-addon (for program-starter-list) in the english version10:37
testdrbong1: and the "cat"-sample-command above is missing the   >  to overwrite your user-panel-config -- cat only display the content in the terminal10:38
bong1testdr:  is what youre saying the same as  1 down vote accepted10:41
bong110:41
bong1Copy the default config10:41
bong1sudo cp /usr/share/lxpanel/profile/Lubuntu/panels/panel ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels10:41
bong1Change owner:group to the local account from root.10:41
bong1sudo chown owner:group  ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel10:41
bong1now restart the panel10:41
bong1lxpanelctl restart10:41
testdrbong1: using chown needs your user-account and group-account, not this dummy-entry owner:group10:43
testdrbong1: thats why i suggested to do a "cat" (=copy the content over the content of your panel-config), because then the owner and group rights would not be changed and still be yours10:44
testdrbong1: in the other way - you may end with an readonly panel-config, that you as the user cannot change10:45
testdrbong1: after some search found this (and the last entry without sudo seems better): http://askubuntu.com/questions/64631/how-to-restore-the-default-lubuntu-panel10:52
Unit193Correct, dropping 'sudo' is a good choice.10:53
bong1just logout, not shutdown?10:55
Unit193logout and back in would do it.10:56
testdrbong1: yes - this is better than this lxpaneltctl restart thing, because this sometimes ended with 2 running panels10:56
bong1ok will try this.10:57
bong1beautiful. that did it. thanks testdr and unit193.11:02
Unit193Congrats.11:07
bong1there was once  a web page to change the date formats. where was that again?11:08
Unit193http://manpages.ubuntu.com/strftime11:11
Unit193Something like that?11:11
bong1yes i remember strftime but its kind of automatic. just select what we want and copy paste it to digital clock settings.11:16
