[01:45] <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
[01:46] <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
[01:47] <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
[01:49] <gleblanc> That seems OK
[01:51] <gleblanc> Under [ipv4] it says method=auto
[01:54]  * gleblanc decides to try it tomorrow when his brain is fresh
[02:06] <jenia> hello. how do I set lubuntu to use the "vertial window switcher" by default?
[02:07] <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?
[02:08] <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..
[02:09] <jenia> when I press alt-shift-tab i get a horizontal list. i'm surprized that its not the same for others

[17:13] <talsamon> hallo, how can I create a desktop-launcher on lubuntu-openbox (14.04) ?
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <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
[17:27] <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
[17:33] <talsamon> holstein, sorry, can't find any useful information on the first two links, iDesktools are not in the repo
[17:34] <holstein> talsamon: why not just use lubuntu?
[17:34] <holstein> talsamon: you can create desktop icons easily on the desktop in lxde/lubuntu
[17:35] <talsamon> holstein, that means I have to install lxde
[17:35] <holstein> talsamon: have you tried it?
[17:36] <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"
[17:37] <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
[18:24] <PeQuEnO_TuX> whats up all
[18:24] <PeQuEnO_TuX> does anyone have experience with lubuntu on powerpc?
[18:24] <wxl> moi
[18:25] <teward> wxl: of course you would >.>
[18:25] <teward> :P
[18:25] <wxl> teward: keep it down, or i'm going to make you do bug triage
[18:26] <teward> wxl: E:NoISO
[18:26]  * teward chuckles
[18:26] <wxl> teward: there's an iso
[18:27] <teward> wxl: E:NoDownloadedLocallyAvailableISO
[18:27] <teward> :)
[18:27] <wxl> teward: get on it :)
[18:28] <teward> wxl: which you wanting me to triage?  15.04?  14.04?  14.10?  i386?  amd64?  Can't do ARM unfortunately.
[18:28] <teward> got specific bugs on the radar?
[18:28] <wxl> teward: ALL OF IT
[18:28]  * teward adds the additional 1000000 questions necessary to triage to the list
[18:28]  * teward waits for wxl to give up :)

[19:11] <current_user> I'm running current lubuntu .  thinkpad x201 .  How can I make hibernate or suspend work correctly ?
[19:18] <luisgt> Hey, good afternoon to you all, i just installed lubuntu 14.10 64 bits and i need java so i followed  the steps on: http://www.ubuntu-guia.com/2012/04/instalar-oracle-java-7-en-ubuntu-1204.html but java keeps craching on firefox can someone help me please?
[19:28] <spicypixel> not ideal to follow a guide for a much older ubuntu build, not sure if it'd work
[19:33] <luisgt> fine, any ide where can i get the right guidence? This is my first time using  a 64 bits system and i really need java
[19:37] <current_user> I believe you can just install icedtea-7-plugin http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/icedtea-7-plugin
[19:37] <current_user> ignore the fact thats an old version of ubuntu
[19:38] <current_user> ok i just installed it . in firefox i did about:plugins . it says: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.5.2 (1.5.2-1ubuntu2~14.10))
[19:38] <current_user> so try sudo apt-get install icetea-7-plugin
[19:38] <current_user> icedtea-7-plugin i mean
[19:39] <luisgt> iced tea won work fine on www.sat.gob.mx
[19:39] <luisgt> that is where i need to declare taxes
[19:39] <luisgt> thatś why i need java
[19:41] <current_user> try http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/webupd8_java
[19:41] <current_user> for your oracle java
[19:43] <luisgt> does this ppa works also for a 64 lubutnu distro?
[19:44] <ianorlin> yes
[19:44] <luisgt> excellent
[19:44] <luisgt> thanks you very much
[19:44] <luisgt> i try  that out
[19:55] <current_user> does lubuntu + suspend work for most of the world except me ?
