[02:23] <bennyprofane> hi
[02:24] <ianorlin> hi
[02:25] <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?
[02:26] <ianorlin> panel is in a different place and a few slighty different default apps
[02:27] <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
[02:29] <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.
[02:31] <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.
[04:51] <Ahmuck> how do i burn an image or an iso image to a sd card?
[04:56] <Ahmuck> nm, got it
[05:56] <Ahmuck> anybody here?
[05:57] <ianorlin> Ahmuck, what is your question?
[07:55] <acecipher> Hmmm
[07:56] <acecipher> Does inkscape have a good place to get help?
[08:22] <Unit193> #inkscape has 100 people
[08:22] <Unit193> !alis
[08:22] <Unit193> Great tool to find channels, acecipher.
[08:23] <acecipher> Ah, thanks
[14:02] <Glorfinde1> lubuntu isn't booting any more, it keeps checking the disk
[14:03] <Glorfinde1> there is an option to skip mounting which let it boot before, but now that doesn't work anymore either
[14:04] <Glorfinde1> eh, there it went
[14:04] <Glorfinde1> 5th try did it
[14:04] <Glorfinde1> :|
[14:05] <Glorfinde1> thx anyway
[17:31] <cinimoon> utopic, 8400gs, nvidia 331.113, xrandr will not change to modes but gives no error message (screen blinks and stays the same)
[17:40] <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
[17:41] <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.
[17:43] <cinimoon> Can you find network manager applet in Menu>Preferences>Desktop Session Settings?
[17:45] <cinimoon> Also, Menu>Preferences>Default Applications for LXSession then the Autostart tab (here you can add nm-applet)
[17:47] <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.
[17:48] <cinimoon> This is just a wild guess, could it be your system requires root to run nm-applet ?
[17:49] <MajB> I can launch nm-applet from the terminal using sudo.
[17:50] <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
[17:52] <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.
[18:10] <cinimoon> well, i guess its not a sudo problem. I'm stumped
[18:11] <MajB> I just rebooted with an old kernel and the same situation exists.
[18:13] <MajB> No applet but I am connected to the wireless.  Something is preventing the applet from displaying.
[18:16] <MajB> any idea where I start looking for the config files
[18:20] <cinimoon> pcmanfm, search function
[18:21] <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
[19:04] <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?
[19:05] <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
[19:06] <wxl> so if you shutdown there are no problems?
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <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
[19:09] <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
[19:10] <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
[19:11] <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.
[19:12] <OpenSorce> Unit193,  LXDE
[19:13] <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.
[19:14] <OpenSorce> Older single core machine. It works great actually except for this one issue :-P
[19:19] <OpenSorce> wxl, thanks for your suggestions. You've given me some ideas
[19:21] <wxl> np OpenSorce. good luck
