| absk007 | how to change LXDE desktop theme? How to install fonts? | 11:03 |
|---|---|---|
| leszek | absk007: there is no global desktop theme. But you can change icons, wallpaper, gtk-theme, window decoration manually if you want to | 11:08 |
| leszek | To install fonts just copy them to your hidden ~/.fonts directory | 11:08 |
| absk007 | leszek, how to change your mentioned themes? | 11:09 |
| absk007 | leszek, there is not hidden ~/.fonts. Should i create it manually? | 11:09 |
| leszek | in settings you should find the coresponding things. Like appearance which should give you all you need | 11:10 |
| leszek | absk007: yeah just create it manually | 11:10 |
| leszek | this will install the fonts for your user only. If you want them for all users they need to be copied to the global /usr/share/fonts directory with root rights | 11:10 |
| absk007 | leszek, how do i chsh -s `where zsh` ? | 11:13 |
| absk007 | is that the correct command? | 11:13 |
| absk007 | to change my shell? | 11:13 |
| leszek | absk007: you can just use chsh and it will interactively ask you what to set your shell to. As far as I know zsh in trusty is /bin/zsh5 . Maybe take a look beforehand | 11:15 |
| absk007 | leszek, should i create a truetype directory in my ~/.fonts directory like in /usr/share/fonts/truetype ?? | 11:16 |
| absk007 | and after font installation, shouldn't i run some kinda font-cache refresh? | 11:17 |
| leszek | absk007: you don't need the truetype directory. And as far as font refresh. I never used that and everything worked as expected | 11:18 |
| absk007 | leszek, how do i know which shell i'm in | 11:18 |
| leszek | absk007: by default its bash as far as I know in lubuntu | 11:19 |
| leszek | echo $SHELL should give you the shell you are using | 11:19 |
| leszek | not sure if every shell is using this variable though | 11:19 |
| leszek | and I guess if you are starting zsh5 for example from bash it would probably use the $SHELL variable provided by bash | 11:20 |
| leszek | I don't think there is an reliable way to check that | 11:21 |
| absk007 | where is the preference to choose the fonts folder? | 11:27 |
| leszek | absk007: I am not sure if there is any. There is no graphical tool for that. Maybe this is what you are looking for: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html | 11:29 |
| leszek | ah sorry thats not exactly what you were asking for | 11:30 |
| leszek | I thought there might be a XDG_FONT_DIRS variable but it isn't | 11:30 |
| absk007 | ok. | 11:32 |
| absk007 | leszek, can i use some kinda keyring such that when i use sudo apt-get or gksudo, it won't bother me for passwords? | 11:35 |
| leszek | absk007: sudo by default uses a 5 min. timer I guess. So if you execute sudo in that 5 min. after first entering the password it won't nag you about it. As for gksudo it should do the same | 11:37 |
| leszek | actually it is 15 minutes, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:38 |
| leszek | absk007: there is also a tutorial on setting the timeout here: http://ubuntuserverhelp.com/sudo-timeout/ | 11:39 |
| absk007 | leszek, thanks. I set it to 60 mins | 11:48 |
| absk007 | leszek, how to insall chromium with flash? | 11:50 |
| absk007 | leszek, i mean about the flash. | 11:51 |
| absk007 | chromium-browser installed | 11:51 |
| leszek | there should be a ppapi-flashplugin somewhere in the repo | 11:55 |
| leszek | let me search it | 11:55 |
| leszek | absk007: the package is called pepperflashplugin-nonfree | 11:55 |
| absk007 | leszek, how do i add icons to the lower left corner near the Menu? | 11:55 |
| leszek | absk007: in the panel you mean ? | 11:57 |
| absk007 | yeah! | 11:57 |
| leszek | If there is an icon just right click and you should have an option to go to the properties of the panel plugin. There you can add icons | 11:57 |
| leszek | otherwise in global panel settings there should be a plugin to allow you adding icons | 11:57 |
| absk007 | leszek, i don't get it. Could you show a snapshot | 12:00 |
| leszek | wait a sec | 12:01 |
| dust | http://store.steampowered.com/universe/ | 12:04 |
| dust | i hope also all with lubuntu :) | 12:04 |
| leszek | absk007: http://abload.de/image.php?img=foo2irumv.png click on the top menu item here after right clicking | 12:05 |
| leszek | it should give you a dialog where you can add new applications to the bar | 12:06 |
| absk007 | leszek, thanks | 12:08 |
| absk007 | leszek, why isn't my synaptic showing the quick search bar? | 12:08 |
| absk007 | leszek, when i installed Terminator, the LXTerminal somewhere disappeared | 12:10 |
| absk007 | why? | 12:10 |
| leszek | absk007: first synaptic. This needs apt-xapian. So you need to install that for the quicksearch to appear (it basically creates a local db of available packages) | 12:15 |
| leszek | absk007: can you start lxterminal with CTRL+ALT+T still ? | 12:15 |
| absk007 | leszek, nope. only terminator and terminator everywhere | 12:16 |
| absk007 | even in the pcmanfm, pressing F4 opens terminator | 12:16 |
| absk007 | i didn't manually uninstall LXterminal | 12:16 |
| leszek | absk007: thats strange. Seems like it registers itself as the default everywhere | 12:17 |
| leszek | so from terminator you cannot execute lxterminal ? | 12:17 |
| absk007 | leszek, yes. I can | 12:17 |
| absk007 | but it doesn't appear in the menu | 12:17 |
| absk007 | some things are missing: notify-send and xclip. Should i install them using apt-get? | 12:18 |
| leszek | strange indeed. If the package wasn't removed it shouldn't be gone from menu. Only if terminator somehow diverted lxterminal | 12:18 |
| absk007 | i need them for a screenshot tool | 12:18 |
| leszek | I don't see a problem with that | 12:19 |
| absk007 | leszek, just after installing terminator, lxterminal just disappeared. Poof!! | 12:19 |
| absk007 | i didn't do anything | 12:20 |
| leszek | absk007: what version of lubuntu do you run ? | 12:20 |
| absk007 | very strange indeed. In my last lubuntu installation, that was not the case | 12:20 |
| absk007 | leszek, the latest 14.10 | 12:20 |
| leszek | ok I only see it installing itself as the default terminal in the package itself. But I am running trusty (14.04) and there is a /usr/share/applications/lxterminal.desktop that should be always shown in the menu. Not sure if in 14.10 they changed that to the default terminal which is the only explaination I have currently that it dissappeared from the menu | 12:23 |
| absk007 | leszek, ok | 12:26 |
| absk007 | leszek, installing apt-xapian-index didn't do the job. The quick search in synaptic didn't appear | 12:30 |
| leszek | absk007: did you restart synaptic and let apt-xapian-index running in the background ? | 12:36 |
| leszek | it needs to first create the database before synaptic can use it | 12:36 |
| absk007 | how to let apt-xapian-index run in background | 12:36 |
| leszek | update-apt-xapian-index | 12:38 |
| leszek | sudo !! | 12:38 |
| absk007 | how to download notify-send in Lubuntu 14.10? | 14:01 |
| ianorlin | install libnotify-bin | 14:02 |
| ianorlin | absk007, ^^ | 14:03 |
| absk007 | ianorlin, thanks | 14:05 |
| ianorlin | although sometimes command not found will tell you if you try the command and don't have it installed | 14:05 |
| absk007 | ianorlin, how much RAM should i allocate to lubuntu so than i can develop java application using IntelliJ IDEA | 14:07 |
| absk007 | using VMWare | 14:07 |
| ianorlin | I don't use vmware or java so I don't know | 14:07 |
| absk007 | how to add a directory to system path? | 14:13 |
| web-man | do you have a good script for conky? | 16:20 |
| testdr | web-man: who do u ask? | 16:21 |
| web-man | general question | 16:22 |
| web-man | for all | 16:22 |
| testdr | there is no good script for conky - it always depends what hardware you have and whats your desire.. | 16:22 |
| Unit193 | One good script? I have the weather, several timezones, internal and external IP, and sometimes Google calendar (agenda view) | 16:23 |
| testdr | Unit193: i have the weather right at my window.. | 16:23 |
| web-man | and where can I download this script | 16:24 |
| testdr | web-man: you get a lot of links using the google-search - | 16:24 |
| web-man | I created a .conkeyrc file in /home/webman directory | 16:25 |
| Unit193 | testdr: Appearances can be deceiving, can look like a warm day but actually be below 0F. Also the alerts are nice. :P | 16:25 |
| testdr | web-man: thats a first step -- you check whats around and how much it will consume your cpu-power | 16:25 |
| web-man | but I want to write a working script in .conkeyrc file because I copy-pasted some scripts and not working at all | 16:26 |
| Unit193 | There's also built-in functions of conky itself to consider, you may not need a script for what you're looking for. | 16:26 |
| testdr | Unit193: i am living in germany and i dont wanna know the weather of berlin - or the weather of south-africa, because thats both with no relation to the weather in front of my door | 16:27 |
| web-man | is there a gui to configure conky | 16:27 |
| testdr | web-man: i never heard about this -- only checking google-search and there are a lot of examples | 16:27 |
| web-man | but in germany is berlin | 16:27 |
| testdr | web-man: berlin ist around 700 Kilometres from my location and the weather of berlin is more the same of warsow .. or sometimes moskow | 16:28 |
| Unit193 | conky -C will give you a sample config. | 16:29 |
| Unit193 | So don't look at it if you don't want to know it? :P | 16:29 |
| testdr | Unit193: some users may think its nice to know if their leader (or chancellor) may need an ubrella today | 16:31 |
| testdr | umbrella | 16:31 |
| dust | lubuntu will use at 15.04 systemd too? | 23:28 |
| krytarik | dust: If the decision holds up - just like any other flavor, I believe. | 23:34 |
| dust | i only did read about ubuntu and the other flavors... and as lubuntu was mentioned i asked here... well i thought it ll... just to be sure... | 23:35 |
| dust | was not | 23:35 |
| krytarik | dust: This is the official announcement: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2015-March/001130.html | 23:38 |
| dust | ...and all flavors... thx... well media didnt copy that... | 23:40 |
