| ]Spectre[ | hi friends,newbie lubuntu question:how can I change the size of the windows border on my lubuntu 14.10? | 19:06 |
| testdr | ]Spectre[: first get a better Nick - not such fingertwisting one -- then check the different openbox themes - maybe one will already fit - second, try to use the hotkeys and last, you are free to change/modify/edit the themes-settings, they are in some readable files to be found on your computer | 19:23 |
| ]Spectre[ | ok testdr | 19:29 |
| wxl | ]Spectre[: give me a second and i'll get you the answer | 19:29 |
| wxl | ]Spectre[: pretty sure it's in obconf | 19:29 |
| testdr | ]Spectre[: for example - i use theme "Natura" with bigger handles at the lower corners and lower frame-border | 19:30 |
| ]Spectre[ | thanks wxl | 19:31 |
| ]Spectre[ | testdr,obconf doesn't allow me to resize the top right buttons of the windows,I want to resize the "- + x" if it's possible | 19:31 |
| wxl | oh wait you just want to resize the buttons ]Spectre[ ? | 19:32 |
| ]Spectre[ | just tried resizing the font size on the top bar,but the font goes giant,and the buttons on the top right of the windows is of the same size(as I was imagining) :) | 19:32 |
| ]Spectre[ | yes wxl :) | 19:32 |
| ]Spectre[ | if you find a way it will be really appreciated here | 19:32 |
| wxl | ]Spectre[: edit the theme or get a new one. that's not so easy. | 19:33 |
| testdr | that are "icons" -- little pictures and part of the themes - different theme, different pictures and sometimes with different size | 19:33 |
| ]Spectre[ | if you tell me where I can find these "icons" | 19:33 |
| ]Spectre[ | I'll try to edit them with the paint | 19:33 |
| wxl | you'll just have to look around ]Spectre[ | 19:34 |
| ]Spectre[ | I was thinking that it was a 2d vector | 19:34 |
| wxl | you might go download a theme and figure it out | 19:34 |
| testdr | for example: Natura is in : /usr/share/themes/Natura/openbox-3 | 19:34 |
| ]Spectre[ | going to seek | 19:34 |
| ]Spectre[ | found it | 19:35 |
| testdr | all installed should be found in /usr/share/themes ---- but you should search and install missing themes - there are more, than in the default install! User "synaptic" to search for provided themes | 19:35 |
| ]Spectre[ | thanks | 19:35 |
| ]Spectre[ | what happens if I try to edit it while the lxde is using it? lxde will become mad? ;-D | 19:36 |
| testdr | ]Spectre[: no - but make a backup to check your changes - the changes will take effekt after changing to another theme and then back or logout/login | 19:37 |
| ]Spectre[ | ;-D | 19:37 |
| ]Spectre[ | I'll take the risk :D | 19:37 |
| wxl | or just restart openbox | 19:37 |
| ianorlin | why wouldn't openbox --reconfigure work? | 19:38 |
| testdr | ]Spectre[: if you use - for example - Natura - you should create a duplicate of the whole theme-directory | 19:38 |
| wxl | ianorlin: is probably right. in any case, you don't need to log out/log back in | 19:38 |
| ]Spectre[ | don't worry testdr | 19:39 |
| ]Spectre[ | solved,thanks guys | 19:42 |

| holstein | anjo-aladiah: you cant enable swap? | 20:33 |
| anjo-aladiah | i think swap is there but it dont work | 20:33 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: what partitioning did you do during install? i would try just putting a swap partition somewhere, and try hibernatiing | 20:33 |
| anjo-aladiah | install did alll automaticly for me | 20:34 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: you think? take a look and see if you have a swap partition. if not, you'll need on. thats step one | 20:34 |
| anjo-aladiah | my knowlegde its not eought to do thast alone | 20:34 |
| anjo-aladiah | holstein give me the command please to do in console to check that | 20:34 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/10/enable-hibernate-option-in-ubuntu-14-10-unity/ is what i would start with | 20:34 |
| anjo-aladiah | i friend in irc, told me to do this holstein, a frien in ubuntu helped me and told me this solution should work for me | 20:36 |
| anjo-aladiah | http://paste.ubuntu.com/9220253/ | 20:36 |
| anjo-aladiah | but i need to know the file name in lubuntu 14.10 at this part /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1. YMMV. | 20:37 |
| anjo-aladiah | hoolstein | 20:37 |
| anjo-aladiah | holstein | 20:37 |
| anjo-aladiah | Do you know what it is ? | 20:37 |
| anjo-aladiah | holstein i already did that | 20:38 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: it'll be the same | 20:38 |
| anjo-aladiah | is still not woking | 20:38 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: lubuntu *is* ubuntu.. | 20:38 |
| anjo-aladiah | ok | 20:38 |
| anjo-aladiah | lets try | 20:38 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: ubuntu mint is *not* ubuntu.. | 20:39 |
| holstein | linux mint* | 20:39 |
| anjo-aladiah | yeah but the guy say our entry for mkswap will be specific to your distro and according to the information above should be /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1. YMMV. | 20:39 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 20:40 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: sure.. and the distro *is* ubuntu | 20:40 |
| anjo-aladiah | this solution with 5 stars http://askubuntu.com/questions/462739/14-04-with-fde-and-swap-is-missing | 20:40 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: lubuntu *is* ubuntu | 20:40 |
| anjo-aladiah | ok | 20:40 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: you are on lubuntu 14.10.. | 20:40 |
| anjo-aladiah | i will try with ubuntu word there then | 20:40 |
| anjo-aladiah | yes iam | 20:40 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: dont "try" anything | 20:40 |
| anjo-aladiah | no ? | 20:40 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: its referring to a file.. just find the file.. | 20:40 |
| * genii wonders if they have been looking for YMMV as part of the /dev name | 20:41 | |
| anjo-aladiah | how can i find the file ? | 20:41 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: i'll just literally search with a file manager | 20:41 |
| wxl | genii: dunno. YMMV. XD | 20:41 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: clicking trough the file structure | 20:41 |
| anjo-aladiah | what i should search ? | 20:41 |
| anjo-aladiah | ok | 20:41 |
| * genii slides wxl a fresh coffee | 20:41 | |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: you search in that location.. /dev/mapper | 20:42 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: you can also autocomplete.. | 20:42 |
| holstein | !tab | 20:42 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 20:42 |

| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncryptedSwap | 20:43 |
| holstein | i would look and see if i have encrypted swap or not | 20:43 |
| anjo-aladiah | iam sure my documents folder is encrypted, because i ask that during instalation | 20:44 |
| anjo-aladiah | that is for sure | 20:44 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: sure.. so, is swap? | 20:44 |
| anjo-aladiah | i dont know how to do that | 20:45 |
| anjo-aladiah | how to check that | 20:45 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: thats why i shared https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncryptedSwap | 20:45 |
| anjo-aladiah | holstein are you telling me to do this steps How to Set Up Encrypted Swap with a Fixed Key ? | 20:46 |
| anjo-aladiah | holstein that 12 steps ?» | 20:46 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: nope | 20:47 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: im asking you, since you dont know, if you have swap, and if its encrypted | 20:47 |
| anjo-aladiah | i have a swap but i dont know if it is encrypted | 20:47 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: there are some facts about your setup that you need to know, and that only you can determine, before getting the functionality you want | 20:47 |
| anjo-aladiah | some days ago, someone here told me a console command that showed me all partition and a swap was there | 20:48 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: *all* the ubuntu channels are logged | 20:48 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: if you dont see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncryptedSwap#New_Swap_First_Time_Use from the link i gave, then you dont have encrypted swap setup | 20:49 |
| anjo-aladiah | holstein: when i do swapon --summary , it give me nothing | 20:51 |
| velhop4 | hello friends! Can I invert the colours of a single window (or at least the whole screen) in Lubuntu? If so, how? Thanks :D | 20:51 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: i think you need to confirm, friend, the facts about your setup | 20:51 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: and maybe consider just not useing hibernation with your setup | 20:51 |
| anjo-aladiah | i need hibernate function | 20:52 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: sure.. and you can have it, *if* you havent done things that prevent that from being setup.. and only you can see if you have | 20:52 |
| holstein | anjo-aladiah: personally, it doesnt save me any time, so i dont use it | 20:52 |
| anjo-aladiah | i did nothing yet. | 20:52 |
| holstein | velhop4: i would just get a theme that looks like that, if i want the entire desktop doing that | 20:54 |
| anjo-aladiah | when i tryed to do sudo mkswap /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1. YMMV. it gaves me mkswap: invalid block count argument: 'YMMV.' | 20:56 |
| velhop4 | holstein, the thin is that I like to invert most of web pages to negative, to spare my eyes. does Compiz works in Lubuntu? It has an option to "Negative"... | 20:57 |
| wxl | velhop4: compiz works | 20:58 |
| holstein | it can.. though, it can be challenging | 21:00 |
| holstein | i might try something like https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/blank-your-monitor-easy-readin/ | 21:00 |
| holstein | https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/invert-page-colors/hjhdnhiofjddcapmffbllcpaodjmdphn?hl=en | 21:01 |
| holstein | if thats all you need, is in a webpage.. | 21:01 |
| velhop4 | holstein, that is a great work around, thank you so much!! | 21:04 |
| velhop4 | wxl, does compiz slows down lubuntu? | 21:04 |
| holstein | adding things like that will likely never "speed it up" ;) | 21:05 |
| holstein | its just integrated into unity.. unity is basically a compiz plugin.. so, in ubuntu, compiz is to facilitate unity | 21:05 |
| velhop4 | holstein, man, I really need to thank you again. That firefox tip just saved my eyes' life!! hope it works on android tablets too | 21:06 |
| holstein | velhop4: im not sure about the plugin structure for firefox on arm, or whatever.. but, it wont hurt to try it :) | 21:06 |
| anjo-aladiah | genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9220660/ | 21:07 |
| velhop4 | holstein, i tried it. It inverts some colours, but it doesn't actually invert the page colours. Some images can disappear | 21:07 |
| genii | anjo-aladiah: Please converse with me in either #ubuntu or #lubuntu about your issue, but not both at the same time | 21:09 |
| holstein | velhop4: well.. thats a step in the right direction.. maybe they are working on support for it.. | 21:09 |
| velhop4 | holstein, but I have compiz installed on this computer. but I can't see it in the menu | 21:11 |
| holstein | velhop4: well, its never really in the menu like that | 21:12 |
| holstein | velhop4: it'll be a matter of switching window managers.. with a command in the terminal | 21:12 |
| holstein | velhop4: it'll be similar to http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-set-up-compiz-in-xubuntu-1210-or.html | 21:13 |
| velhop4 | holstein, that's for Xubuntu. I'm noob enough to admit that I can't translate that code to Lubuntu | 21:20 |
| holstein | velhop4: there is no "code | 21:21 |
| holstein | velhop4: you open a terminal, the commands are the same | 21:21 |
| holstein | velhop4: they are both ubuntu.. | 21:22 |
| holstein | velhop4: you can always fire up the live CD you used to install the operating sytem, and try it there first.. assuming you have supported graphics | 21:22 |
| velhop4 | holstein, sorry, but it's not the same. I'm in Lubuntu, and in the link there are some steps specifically for Xubuntu | 21:26 |
| holstein | velhop4: feel free and ask about what you are specifically having issue with | 21:26 |
| holstein | velhop4: step one, will be the same.. open a terminal.. the lubuntu one.. and use the command there.. | 21:27 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-plugins compizconfig-settings-manager metacity | 21:27 |
| velhop4 | holstein, thank you! I'm gonna try it right now :) | 21:27 |
| holstein | velhop4: then, in the *same* terminal.. | 21:27 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install dconf-tools | 21:27 |
| holstein | "Then press ALT + F2 and run: "dconf-editor", navigate to org > gnome > desktop > vm > preferences and change the "theme" value from "Adwaita" to "Greybird". Remember this because in the same place you can also change the window button layout, among others." | 21:28 |
| holstein | ^ this can be specific to xfce.. but, you can look there and see | 21:28 |
| holstein | "3. Some Compiz plugins MUST be enabled before running Compiz: | 21:29 |
| holstein | ^ that will be identical, though, you can launch it from altF2 if you cant find the settings config in the menu | 21:29 |
| holstein | velhop4: the command "compiz --replace" is the same, as well.. you run that in the terminal | 21:29 |
| holstein | to make the settings persistent, you can use the suggestion at the bottom | 21:30 |
| holstein | "Another way to do this is to (this is not the 100% proper way to do it, but I've added it in case the above method doesn't work for you): open Settings Manager > Session and Startup" | 21:30 |
| ianorlin | the thing is customize look and feel would be the lubuntu equivlent | 21:30 |
| velhop4 | holstein, but should I install dconf-tools too? | 21:30 |
| holstein | velhop4: i dont think you should use compiz.. so, we dont need to talk about should | 21:31 |
| velhop4 | holstein, lol, good poit :) | 21:31 |
| holstein | velhop4: i suggest *always* have a backup, since that hard drive *will* fail.. then, you can revert to your backups.. or, use the live CD as i suggested to play around and make nothing permanent | 21:31 |
| velhop4 | holstein, is there a GUI program for backups and reverting system settings? | 21:33 |
| holstein | when i set it up last, in 12.04 lubuntu, i used the "compiz --replace" command to test what i was doing | 21:33 |
| holstein | velhop4: there are *many* gui's | 21:33 |
| holstein | !backup | 21:33 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 21:33 |
| holstein | velhop4: what do i do? i keep my data following the 3 2 1 rule. and i make clones if that is important | 21:33 |
| holstein | velhop4: all hard drives fail.. | 21:33 |
| velhop4 | holstein, lol, I'm getting info overload :\ | 21:33 |
| holstein | velhop4: thats why i suggest *not* breaking your system trying to run compiz on it just now | 21:34 |
| holstein | velhop4: think about why you are afraid to try compiz, and address having proper backups on *all* your machines and operating systems.. its just a good practice.. | 21:34 |
| holstein | then, you can try compiz if you like, without much worry.. | 21:35 |
| velhop4 | holstein, but I already inserted the first 2 lines in the terminal :( | 21:35 |
| velhop4 | holstein, the code lines from the link you shared | 21:36 |
| velhop4 | holstein, "navigate to apps > metacity" but there's no metacity folder :\ | 22:02 |
| holstein | velhop4: just move on, friend.. go to the compiz --replace command after configuring compiz | 22:39 |
| holstein | velhop4: after you run that command, you reboot, and you are back to where you are now.. you can use the "sudo reboot" command in TTY.. | 22:40 |
| holstein | !tty | 22:40 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 22:40 |
| holstein | that would be "woops, everything is broken, what do i do?" | 22:40 |
