| Melar | Hi guys, i messed up lxpanel trying to get it to populate my installed programs eneded up having to reinstall lubuntu-desktop lubuntu-core lxde lxpanel... whats the right command thought it was dkpk -i something but cant remember | 04:01 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Melar: the "right" command for what? | 04:02 |
| holstein | Melar: if you want to reset your settings, you can blow out the config, and let a default one be created | 04:02 |
| Melar | to repopulate the lxpanel with the currently installed programs | 04:02 |
| holstein | Melar: i think you are likely installing apps that are not going to "populate" the lxpanel menu | 04:03 |
| holstein | http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Menu | 04:03 |
| Melar | ok worth a shot if thats it. | 04:03 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/196614/how-do-i-edit-the-menu-in-lubuntu | 04:03 |
| holstein | should be like this.. install app.. menu item is added.. | 04:04 |
| holstein | but, lubuntu is lighter and does things differently.. | 04:04 |
| holstein | lxde , i should say | 04:04 |
| holstein | i would try http://lxmed.sourceforge.net/index.html | 04:04 |
| holstein | !info lxmed | 04:05 |
| ubottu | Package lxmed does not exist in utopic | 04:05 |
| holstein | you'll have to manually add it | 04:05 |
| Unit193 | !info menulibre | 04:05 |
| ubottu | menulibre (source: menulibre): advanced FreeDesktop.org compliant menu editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.6-1ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 97 kB, installed size 1029 kB | 04:05 |
| holstein | Melar: ^^ | 04:05 |
| holstein | Unit193: thanks :) | 04:05 |
| Unit193 | holstein: Sure thing, doc! | 04:05 |
| Melar | does lxmed exist in 14.04.1 lts? | 04:07 |
| Unit193 | Nope | 04:07 |
| Melar | 12.04? | 04:08 |
| Unit193 | Not even an RFP for it. | 04:08 |
| Melar | no repositories? | 04:08 |
| holstein | Melar: try menulibre | 04:08 |
| holstein | im sure lxmed might be in some random ppa.. but, you can get it from sourceforge.. or just try a menu editor from the default repos | 04:09 |
| Melar | thank you! | 04:10 |

| Fishercat | Hi. I'm looking for help with Sylpheed. It's behaving oddly with respect to running multiple Gmail POP accounts after having upgraded my OS. | 06:27 |
| * ianorlin doesn't use pop on sylpheed but I use imap | 06:29 | |
| ianorlin | what is acting wierdly Fishercat | 06:29 |
| sherry | Hi i need help | 06:29 |
| ianorlin | sherry help with what I can't really help when I don't know what your problem is | 06:30 |
| Fishercat | ianorlin: I have 3 gmail accounts; used to have a separate inbox and folders for each account showing up in the left pane of Sylpheed. After upgrade, I've got one inbox, with all three accounts smushed together. It's impossible. | 06:30 |
| sherry | I did not set up my own system.. I was in ubuntu and it kept saying error 404. I know 404 is missing someting failded to load.. I was speaking to someone else wo said if I added the gnome 14.04.1 lts and everything looked like it was right but upon restart the whole thing went to hell.. I can get to the sign in page.. I sign in and it says internal error.. screen is all sliced with colors nothing to make out.. Here is the kicker. | 06:31 |
| sherry | I found out the friend who installed made three distinct partitions that some how are equiling 8 in total..He thinks it would be to dificult for me to wipe that partition because system x and the mulitpal partitions have been using linux for 2 months..I do not have a clue how to reset or fix this.. | 06:31 |
| sherry | My ubuntu is messed up | 06:32 |
| ianorlin | which session are you trying to log into | 06:33 |
| ianorlin | at the login screen can you try another session | 06:33 |
| ianorlin | that was to sherry | 06:34 |
| ianorlin | Fishercat can you click on the left panel can you see the email on the left | 06:35 |
| Fishercat | ianorlin: I can.. but if you want to concentrate on Sherry, go ahead. Her problem's way worse than mine. | 06:36 |
| sherry | Ok the ubuntu partition has 1 Ubuntu/ kde and enlightenment..Ther are two more partitions that have partitions within them..I can get to the sign in screen and sign in than all hell breaks loose internal error and screen is so messed up it has lines of color...What I was doing at the time of the crash was trying to install the gnome 14.04.1 ubuntu it went fine until reboot. | 06:37 |
| ianorlin | also sherry this is for lubuntu not ubuntu-gnome or kde or enlightenment | 06:39 |
| sherry | I have one computer and mint is working right now is there a way to wipe that partition and install a fresh ubuntu? | 06:39 |
| ianorlin | yes you can backup your home folder in each place and then reinstall if you want | 06:39 |
| sherry | I saw lumbuntu stuff in the details alot of it | 06:40 |
| Artemis3 | sherry, when you install you get the chance to "use whole disk" or such it takes care of that | 06:41 |
| sherry | what about the partitions will they be affected? I have only used linux for 2 months sorry I am learning as fast as I can | 06:42 |
| Artemis3 | sherry, you want to keep them or just backup what you need? | 06:42 |
| Artemis3 | sherry, its easy to backup and let it wipe them, but you could keep them asumming you remember which was what (ie. /home? ) | 06:43 |
| sherry | I don't know.. I was told that the grub menue would be affected and I needed to know what the Unbut was mounted on there is a total of 8 partitions | 06:44 |
| Artemis3 | sherry, seems easier that you just backup your data and let it wipe the thing imo | 06:44 |
| sherry | I think so to but if something gose wrong I have no computer .. Could I wipe the whole thing and install from cd I have just one system | 06:45 |
| Artemis3 | sherry, the live cd iso (you can use an usb thumbdrive instead) should boot before any installing, at that point you have a working computer regardless (you can backup before starting the install ofc) | 06:46 |
| Artemis3 | when you boot the live cd that is | 06:47 |
| sherry | ok sounds good..will work on back and install | 06:47 |
| sherry | Ok thank you so much | 06:48 |
| Artemis3 | yw | 06:48 |
| sherry | ;-) | 06:48 |
| Artemis3 | you will go lubuntu i hope? :) | 06:48 |
| sherry | I need to do a crash course tonight I have never made cd of thumb drive to install and never installed a linux | 06:49 |
| sherry | I liked the lubuntu and debian wheezy and mint | 06:50 |
| sherry | I never want a windows computer again..I worked on windows 20 years | 06:51 |
| Rimmer | I'm trying to install Lubuntu on an old XP-era IBM Thinkpad, but it's freezing any time I press enter on "install" or "run without installing." Anyone know why this might be? | 07:54 |
| Rimmer | Also, I'm running it from a USB stick if that makes any difference | 07:55 |
| Artemis3 | Rimmer, which model? | 08:26 |
| Rimmer | Hi! It's an R51 | 08:27 |
| Rimmer | This looks to maybe be over ten years old, which I read is the limit. Is Lubuntu not really feasible on R51s? | 08:29 |
| Artemis3 | i see the problem | 08:29 |
| Artemis3 | Rimmer, you need to use forcepae at boot | 08:30 |
| Rimmer | Heard of it. Where do I find that? | 08:31 |
| Artemis3 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/AdvancedMethods#Pentium_M_and_Celeron_M | 08:31 |
| Rimmer | Would you say it's worth a shot on this machine? Thanks for the link. I'm reading now. | 08:31 |
| Artemis3 | yes its worth, how much ram? | 08:31 |
| Artemis3 | i happen to own something with pentium m as well | 08:32 |
| Rimmer | I can try to check the stats if it's in BIOS or the startup | 08:32 |
| Rimmer | will need to check the RAM that way | 08:33 |
| Rimmer | I'm sorry, I'm completely forgetting the most reliable way to check RAM on this machine. Any suggestions? | 08:34 |
| Rimmer | Memtest86 which for some reason *is* running via the USB stick is saying something about 759 MB ram but it's unclear to me what that means | 08:36 |
| Rimmer | Searching brings up some pages mentioning an R51 with 512MB though | 08:36 |
| Artemis3 | should work | 08:37 |
| Rimmer | Also the link you sent says a menu appears after hitting F6 on "install" but that isn't the case with mine | 08:41 |
| Rimmer | It just beeps, "resets" the screen and shows the same menu | 08:41 |
| Rimmer | I'm sorry. I have to sign off for the night now. Thanks for your help! Might try here later this week. | 08:52 |
| masur | hi everyone. can anyone help me with my screen going blank | 13:47 |
| masur | pleaseeeeeeee | 13:50 |
| masur | where can i find the ~/.xinitrc file? | 13:51 |
| testdr | masur: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc | 13:54 |
| masur | great thanks | 13:54 |
| testdr | masur: and the user-config-file may not available - you have to create it new | 13:54 |
| masur | do you know why my screen goes off randomly | 13:54 |
| masur | for example, when i open a youtube video | 13:55 |
| testdr | masur: define "randomly" | 13:55 |
| testdr | masur: could be a question of you used browser and the plugins for the codecs -- you should check for videos first such programs like mplayer | 13:56 |
| masur | it happened with lxle and lubuntu also | 13:57 |
| testdr | masur: check what screensaver you use: light-locker or xscreensaver and disable it for tests | 13:57 |
| masur | ok | 13:58 |
| masur | it happened on google.com/chrome also when the page was about to load | 13:58 |
| testdr | masur: i dont know about - i use firefox | 13:59 |
| masur | yeah, me too | 13:59 |

| Fishercat | Hi. I've got some problems with Sylpheed after upgrading my OS, and I was wondering if anyone can help. Current worst problem: It's stuck in an error loop that begins as soon as I log in. Error message: "Execution of the junk filter command failed. Please check the junk mail control setting." I try to close the dialog box and go change the junk filter, but the dialog box keeps reopening. Apparently, I've given Sylpheed a nervous b | 17:25 |
| Fishercat | Hi. I'm looking for some help with a Sylpheed issue that cropped up after upgrading my OS. I have 3 Gmail POP accounts. Before upgrading, each account appeared separately in Sylpheed, with its own default folders. Now there's only one set of default folders, and the email for all three accounts is showing up in the same inbox and reading pane. Is there any way to address this? | 18:25 |

| holstein | Fishercat: anytime you are looking for help with a specific application, you can try going upstream to that specific applications support avenue.. or, you can try #ubuntu, or a general linux channel | 18:43 |
| holstein | Fishercat: i would look in the config for sylpheed, or ask them.. maybe its a new "feature" that its doing what its doing | 18:44 |
| wxl | i'd call that a feature if it is | 18:45 |
| wxl | but you have trusty right Fishercat ? | 18:45 |
