| BuntuTech | why is it so difficult to change the wllapaer to my own picture | 14:27 |
| BuntuTech | wallpaper* | 14:27 |
| BuntuTech | why can i not just rt clci kand set to background? | 14:27 |
| BuntuTech | click* | 14:27 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: you may prefer a "heavier" DE with more options.. lxde is meant to be light, and may have compromises compared to what youa re accustomed to.. | 14:28 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/68742/how-do-i-change-my-wallpaper-in-lubuntu looks like how i would do it | 14:28 |
| BuntuTech | its like doing jumping jacks just to change it | 14:29 |
| BuntuTech | it would not make the distro heavy by doing rt click set as background | 14:30 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: its quite easy here, friend.. what is your precise difficulty? | 14:30 |
| BuntuTech | i will read your link | 14:30 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: i didnt mean to imply that in itself would make it heavy.. but, i right click on the desktop as you state and change my wallpeper | 14:31 |
| holstein | wallpaper* | 14:31 |
| BuntuTech | i downloaded a linux style desktop background and used gimp to make it into an appropriate lubuntu desktop background then i downloaded it into my lubuntu install in my vm BUT... | 14:32 |
| BuntuTech | when i trieed to rt click and make it my desktop... | 14:32 |
| BuntuTech | i could not | 14:32 |
| BuntuTech | then a long investigation ensued | 14:32 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: sure.. there can be a learning curve with *any* new technology.. i simply right click on the my desktop, and use the GUI to navigate to the image i want to use | 14:33 |
| BuntuTech | 30 minutes later still no success i became so frustrated i removed the distro from my vm | 14:33 |
| BuntuTech | but i did like it | 14:33 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: cool.. what are you coming from? windows? | 14:33 |
| BuntuTech | it was using about 170mb ram | 14:33 |
| holstein | sure.. there are compromises, as i state, to have lower resources.. one must be willing to work with the system to learn to use it, as with *any* operating system | 14:33 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: are you coming from a windows environment? | 14:34 |
| BuntuTech | i use w8 w7 vista xp ubuntu deepin (puppy live soemtimes-horrible) q4os and of course peppermint linux mint cinnamon fedora | 14:34 |
| BuntuTech | and lubuntu until i noticed i had to recreate the wheel to change desktop wallpaper | 14:35 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: lubuntu is basically the same as peppermint on this level.. as far as configuration that you mention | 14:35 |
| BuntuTech | not so cuz in about 11 seconds it let me do my custom wallpaper | 14:35 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: correct.. and its the *same* in lubuntu, friend | 14:36 |
| BuntuTech | most ppl are into wallpaper u know | 14:36 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: sure.. and its *quite* easy to change it.. *exactly* the same as peppermint, actually | 14:36 |
| BuntuTech | i would like to show u my skills i am going to paste my custom wallpaper somewhere where is a good place for this | 14:36 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: any of the offtopic channels | 14:37 |
| holstein | !ot | 14:37 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 14:37 |
| holstein | !paste | 14:37 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 14:37 |
| BuntuTech | no i meant i know u use website to paste them | 14:37 |
| BuntuTech | ok imgur | 14:37 |
| BuntuTech | one moment | 14:37 |
| BuntuTech | iwill boot that VM and paste it there | 14:37 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: i linked a site you can use above.. share in the offtopic channel, since its not the topic of the channel.. thanks.. #lubuntu-offtopic ,or the channel i referenced above | 14:38 |
| BuntuTech | i went to imgur and i put a pic of my custom peppermintdesktop there | 14:43 |
| BuntuTech | how to i show it here | 14:43 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: im sure imgur has a support page if you dont understand how to use the technology.. but, you simply linke the URL.. i prefer you use the proper channel | 14:45 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: peppermint is using lxde as well, and is based on lubuntu.. they switched to xfce windowmanager in the recent version, but, setting the desktop wallpaper is the same | 14:45 |
| BuntuTech | nope i just rt clcicked and did it | 14:46 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: right | 14:46 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: i understand that.. but, there are other issues, friend.. and if you will please right-click on the desktop, as the link outlines, you will see you can do it the same as you do in peppermint | 14:47 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: they are the same on this level.. if you are not able to right click on the image, there are other variables at play | 14:47 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: i assure you it *is* simple, and very similar to peppermint.. kendall and shane use lubuntu as the base for peppermint.. and they live near me.. | 14:48 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: if you want peppermint, use peppermint.. if you want help with lubuntu, this is the place.. please right click on the desktop and use the desktop wallpaper GUI | 14:48 |
| BuntuTech | how to i find an image i just uploaded to imgur? | 14:50 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: the URL changes friend.. you upload, then you grab the URL | 14:51 |
| BuntuTech | yikes | 14:51 |
| BuntuTech | i have no url for it | 14:51 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: its the same as the pastebin | 14:51 |
| BuntuTech | i uploaed my image at imgur and now i cannot find it | 14:51 |
| BuntuTech | ima do it again i guess | 14:52 |
| BuntuTech | is pastebin better? | 14:52 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: "better" is a matter of opinion and use case.. in your use case, pastebin doesnt do images.. only text | 14:52 |
| holstein | im only referencing if becuase it works the same | 14:52 |
| holstein | BuntuTech: and again, please use the offtopic channel | 14:53 |
| BuntuTech | http://imgur.com/5amq5JH | 15:44 |
