| ianorlin | hi | 02:24 |
| bennyprofane | I'm thinking about installing lubuntu on a used thinkpad T400 that I just bought. I'm used to xfce how different will it be? | 02:25 |
| ianorlin | panel is in a different place and a few slighty different default apps | 02:26 |
| bennyprofane | I really just need terminal and a web browser, I do most things either on CLI or thru the web. | 02:27 |
| ianorlin | um yeah it won't be that different but it is a slightly different terminal | 02:27 |
| Unit193 | A bit of a different look and feel, and yes lxterminal is different too but if it bothers you xfce4-terminal is easy and soft on the additional deps. | 02:29 |
| Unit193 | Try it, see if you like it. Simple as that. | 02:29 |
| bennyprofane | I'll try it. I'm sure it will work for my usage. I really don't use much beyond cli and web browser. | 02:31 |

| Ahmuck | anybody here? | 05:56 |
| ianorlin | Ahmuck, what is your question? | 05:57 |
| acecipher | Hmmm | 07:55 |
| acecipher | Does inkscape have a good place to get help? | 07:56 |
| Unit193 | #inkscape has 100 people | 08:22 |

| Glorfinde1 | lubuntu isn't booting any more, it keeps checking the disk | 14:02 |
| Glorfinde1 | there is an option to skip mounting which let it boot before, but now that doesn't work anymore either | 14:03 |
| Glorfinde1 | eh, there it went | 14:04 |
| Glorfinde1 | 5th try did it | 14:04 |
| Glorfinde1 | :| | 14:04 |
| Glorfinde1 | thx anyway | 14:05 |
| cinimoon | utopic, 8400gs, nvidia 331.113, xrandr will not change to modes but gives no error message (screen blinks and stays the same) | 17:31 |
| MajB | hello folks. Lost my nm-applet this morning. It doesn't want to launch by default or manually. However I can launch it in the lxterminal using sudo but it will not survive a reboot. | 17:40 |
| cinimoon | never mind that, i can change now but I'm limited to 800x600 maximum although I'm offered 1024x768, 1024x800, and 1024x600 above that | 17:40 |
| cinimoon | MajB: I've got the same problem. I use Alt+F2 and run it. I havn't tried to fix this because my system is so limited and i'd rather not have anything running if I'm not using it. | 17:41 |
| cinimoon | Can you find network manager applet in Menu>Preferences>Desktop Session Settings? | 17:43 |
| cinimoon | Also, Menu>Preferences>Default Applications for LXSession then the Autostart tab (here you can add nm-applet) | 17:45 |
| MajB | I have done that. That was work around back in April when 14.04 was first released. However it doesn't work this time. | 17:47 |
| cinimoon | This is just a wild guess, could it be your system requires root to run nm-applet ? | 17:48 |
| MajB | I can launch nm-applet from the terminal using sudo. | 17:49 |
| cinimoon | i can change resolutions now but I'm limited to 800x600 maximum although I'm offered 1024x768, 1024x800, and 1024x600 above that. utopic, 8400gs, nvidia 331.113 | 17:50 |
| MajB | When I use sudo, the appet launches but I get the following error message ** (nm-applet:3443): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-o28th37GkB: Connection refused | 17:52 |
| MajB | nm-applet-Message: using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon | 17:52 |
| MajB | That was supposed to be all together. | 17:52 |
| cinimoon | well, i guess its not a sudo problem. I'm stumped | 18:10 |
| MajB | I just rebooted with an old kernel and the same situation exists. | 18:11 |
| MajB | No applet but I am connected to the wireless. Something is preventing the applet from displaying. | 18:13 |
| MajB | any idea where I start looking for the config files | 18:16 |
| cinimoon | pcmanfm, search function | 18:20 |
| cinimoon | don't know what the file names are. but, open nm-applet and change everythiing you can. then sort the file search by last modified | 18:21 |

| OpenSorce | May be the wrong channel for this but, Ubuntu 14.04 fresh install running lxde from the repos. On restart I have to log out and back in twice to get fonts and mouse cursor back to the right sizes. Any help? | 19:04 |
| wxl | OpenSorce: you have the same problems in unity? | 19:04 |
| OpenSorce | wxl, no. It only happens when we use lxde | 19:05 |
| wxl | strange | 19:05 |
| wxl | i cannot imagine what changes when you log out | 19:05 |
| OpenSorce | Two logouts and it's fixed. | 19:05 |
| OpenSorce | It only happens after a reboot | 19:05 |
| wxl | so if you shutdown there are no problems? | 19:06 |
| OpenSorce | No that's when it happens. Shutdown, restart and on first login the fonts and curso are too small. One logout and login fixes the fonts, one more fixes the mouse cursor. | 19:07 |
| OpenSorce | *cursor | 19:07 |
| wxl | hm | 19:07 |
| wxl | i have never heard of such a thing happening on any lubuntu install | 19:08 |
| wxl | this may be an #ubuntu problem | 19:08 |
| wxl | i might suggest going there and see if they can provide any insight | 19:08 |
| wxl | i'm at a loss to think of what in the lxde world would act as a mechanism for such a problem | 19:08 |
| OpenSorce | Lol, yes it would think so. However they tend to ignore anyone not using that bloated Unity crap :-P | 19:08 |
| wxl | i'm aware of that | 19:09 |
| OpenSorce | I'm guessing there are some Unity config files that need to be purged. | 19:09 |
| wxl | ooh! | 19:09 |
| wxl | well there is: | 19:09 |
| wxl | !purelxde | OpenSorce | 19:09 |
| ubottu | OpenSorce: If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » | 19:09 |
| wxl | although if you're thinking of committing full-time to lxde you might as well justt install lubuntu :) | 19:10 |
| OpenSorce | I wish that were possible. My wife uses Unity on her account :-P | 19:10 |
| wxl | darn | 19:10 |
| OpenSorce | I know | 19:10 |
| wxl | hm | 19:10 |
| wxl | i have a really crazy thought | 19:11 |
| wxl | it might not work | 19:11 |
| OpenSorce | Yeah? | 19:11 |
| wxl | but you could try | 19:11 |
| Unit193 | Can still install the task, or the core task. | 19:11 |
| wxl | move everything in your home folder somewhere else | 19:11 |
| wxl | default config files for lxde should be created | 19:11 |
| Unit193 | LXDE or Lubuntu? Lubuntu uses a weird setup. | 19:11 |
| OpenSorce | Unit193, LXDE | 19:12 |
| OpenSorce | The way I've set this up, it's a home office machine during the day, at night it becomes an LXDE based media center. | 19:13 |
| OpenSorce | Older single core machine. It works great actually except for this one issue :-P | 19:14 |
| OpenSorce | wxl, thanks for your suggestions. You've given me some ideas | 19:19 |
| wxl | np OpenSorce. good luck | 19:21 |
