| gleblanc | Hi folks. I'm having some trouble using the "network connections" under preferences. | 01:45 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | sorry to hear that.. let us know if a volunteer can assist | 01:45 |
| gleblanc | I can use it to configure a static IP address, and it seems to take if I do a ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 up | 01:45 |
| holstein | i usually reset the connections one way or another | 01:46 |
| gleblanc | But when I configure it to use DHCP, it still comes up with the last static IP I had configured | 01:46 |
| holstein | that could be happening on the router, though | 01:46 |
| gleblanc | I'm not sure where this "network connections" applet stores it's data. It doesn't seem to be in /etc/network | 01:47 |
| Unit193 | gleblanc: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ | 01:47 |
| gleblanc | Thanks | 01:47 |
| gleblanc | That seems OK | 01:49 |
| gleblanc | Under [ipv4] it says method=auto | 01:51 |
| * gleblanc decides to try it tomorrow when his brain is fresh | 01:54 | |
| jenia | hello. how do I set lubuntu to use the "vertial window switcher" by default? | 02:06 |
| holstein | not familiar with the "vertial" window switcher.. .let me search that, and see.. though, if you havent, i would just search more generally upstream about how to add it to lxde | 02:07 |
| jenia | holstein, no just use alt-shift-tab | 02:07 |
| ianorlin | jenia do you mean switching workspaces with control alt up and conftorl alt down? | 02:07 |
| jenia | nono. I mean like the normal "alt-tab", when you press that how does it look? | 02:08 |
| holstein | i would just remap it.. | 02:08 |
| jenia | like a horizontal list of icons in the middle of the screen | 02:08 |
| ianorlin | I don't really know how to change that | 02:08 |
| holstein | you can get in the openbox code if you need.. | 02:08 |
| jenia | when I press alt-shift-tab i get a horizontal list. i'm surprized that its not the same for others | 02:09 |

| talsamon | hallo, how can I create a desktop-launcher on lubuntu-openbox (14.04) ? | 17:13 |
| holstein | talsamon: you are using openbox? and you want a desktop icon? | 17:25 |
| talsamon | holstein, yes | 17:25 |
| holstein | http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=17977 | 17:25 |
| holstein | http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/37992/is-there-a-small-lightweight-application-to-have-desktop-icons-like-on-windows | 17:26 |
| holstein | look for information about adding desktop icons to openbox | 17:26 |
| diffis | Perhaps this too: http://askubuntu.com/questions/466395/how-can-i-create-a-quick-launcher-in-lubuntu ? | 17:27 |
| holstein | if you are using lubuntu/lxde | 17:27 |
| talsamon | holstein, sorry, can't find any useful information on the first two links, iDesktools are not in the repo | 17:33 |
| holstein | talsamon: why not just use lubuntu? | 17:34 |
| holstein | talsamon: you can create desktop icons easily on the desktop in lxde/lubuntu | 17:34 |
| talsamon | holstein, that means I have to install lxde | 17:35 |
| holstein | talsamon: have you tried it? | 17:35 |
| holstein | talsamon: im not sure what else you would implement that would facilitate a more "normal" desktop that would be light | 17:36 |
| holstein | there is lighter, for sure, but, there are compromises, such as the desktop icons | 17:36 |
| holstein | lxde is a nice balance.. and works "out of the box" facilitating such features, while maintaining a "light-ness" | 17:36 |
| holstein | otherwise, you can try #ubuntu or an upstream openbox channel/community | 17:37 |
| holstein | i would just implement what #! does, *if* i wanted desktop icons in openbox.. | 17:37 |
| talsamon | ok,thanks | 17:37 |
| holstein | but, when i want/need desktop icons, i just go ahead and use lxde | 17:37 |
