=== idleone_ is now known as io === drkokandy_ is now known as drkokandy [02:23] hi [02:24] hi [02:25] 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] panel is in a different place and a few slighty different default apps [02:27] I really just need terminal and a web browser, I do most things either on CLI or thru the web. [02:27] um yeah it won't be that different but it is a slightly different terminal [02:29] 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] Try it, see if you like it. Simple as that. [02:31] I'll try it. I'm sure it will work for my usage. I really don't use much beyond cli and web browser. === idleone__ is now known as io [04:51] how do i burn an image or an iso image to a sd card? [04:56] nm, got it [05:56] anybody here? [05:57] Ahmuck, what is your question? [07:55] Hmmm [07:56] Does inkscape have a good place to get help? [08:22] #inkscape has 100 people [08:22] !alis [08:22] alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [08:22] Great tool to find channels, acecipher. [08:23] Ah, thanks [14:02] lubuntu isn't booting any more, it keeps checking the disk [14:03] there is an option to skip mounting which let it boot before, but now that doesn't work anymore either [14:04] eh, there it went [14:04] 5th try did it [14:04] :| [14:05] thx anyway [17:31] utopic, 8400gs, nvidia 331.113, xrandr will not change to modes but gives no error message (screen blinks and stays the same) [17:40] 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] 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] 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] Can you find network manager applet in Menu>Preferences>Desktop Session Settings? [17:45] Also, Menu>Preferences>Default Applications for LXSession then the Autostart tab (here you can add nm-applet) [17:47] 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] This is just a wild guess, could it be your system requires root to run nm-applet ? [17:49] I can launch nm-applet from the terminal using sudo. [17:50] 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] 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] nm-applet-Message: using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon [17:52] That was supposed to be all together. [18:10] well, i guess its not a sudo problem. I'm stumped [18:11] I just rebooted with an old kernel and the same situation exists. [18:13] No applet but I am connected to the wireless. Something is preventing the applet from displaying. [18:16] any idea where I start looking for the config files [18:20] pcmanfm, search function [18:21] 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 === idleone_ is now known as io [19:04] 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] OpenSorce: you have the same problems in unity? [19:05] wxl, no. It only happens when we use lxde [19:05] strange [19:05] i cannot imagine what changes when you log out [19:05] Two logouts and it's fixed. [19:05] It only happens after a reboot [19:06] so if you shutdown there are no problems? [19:07] 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] *cursor [19:07] hm [19:08] i have never heard of such a thing happening on any lubuntu install [19:08] this may be an #ubuntu problem [19:08] i might suggest going there and see if they can provide any insight [19:08] i'm at a loss to think of what in the lxde world would act as a mechanism for such a problem [19:08] Lol, yes it would think so. However they tend to ignore anyone not using that bloated Unity crap :-P [19:09] i'm aware of that [19:09] I'm guessing there are some Unity config files that need to be purged. [19:09] ooh! [19:09] well there is: [19:09] !purelxde | OpenSorce [19:09] 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 » [19:10] although if you're thinking of committing full-time to lxde you might as well justt install lubuntu :) [19:10] I wish that were possible. My wife uses Unity on her account :-P [19:10] darn [19:10] I know [19:10] hm [19:11] i have a really crazy thought [19:11] it might not work [19:11] Yeah? [19:11] but you could try [19:11] Can still install the task, or the core task. [19:11] move everything in your home folder somewhere else [19:11] default config files for lxde should be created [19:11] LXDE or Lubuntu? Lubuntu uses a weird setup. [19:12] Unit193, LXDE [19:13] 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] Older single core machine. It works great actually except for this one issue :-P [19:19] wxl, thanks for your suggestions. You've given me some ideas [19:21] np OpenSorce. good luck
