[11:03] <absk007> how to change LXDE desktop theme? How to install fonts?
[11:08] <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
[11:09] <absk007> leszek, how to change your mentioned themes?
[11:09] <absk007> leszek, there is not hidden ~/.fonts. Should i create it manually?
[11:10] <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
[11:13] <absk007> leszek, how do i chsh -s `where zsh` ?
[11:13] <absk007> is that the correct command?
[11:13] <absk007> to change my shell?
[11:15] <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
[11:16] <absk007> leszek, should i create a truetype directory in my ~/.fonts directory like in /usr/share/fonts/truetype ??
[11:17] <absk007> and after font installation, shouldn't i run some kinda font-cache refresh?
[11:18] <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
[11:19] <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
[11:20] <leszek> and I guess if you are starting zsh5 for example from bash it would probably use the $SHELL variable provided by bash
[11:21] <leszek> I don't think there is an reliable way to check that
[11:27] <absk007> where is the preference to choose the fonts folder?
[11:29] <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
[11:30] <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
[11:32] <absk007> ok.
[11:35] <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?
[11:37] <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
[11:38] <leszek> actually it is 15 minutes, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[11:39] <leszek> absk007: there is also a tutorial on setting the timeout here: http://ubuntuserverhelp.com/sudo-timeout/
[11:48] <absk007> leszek, thanks. I set it to 60 mins
[11:50] <absk007> leszek, how to insall chromium with flash?
[11:51] <absk007> leszek, i mean about the flash.
[11:51] <absk007> chromium-browser installed
[11:55] <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?
[11:57] <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
[12:00] <absk007> leszek, i don't get it. Could you show a snapshot
[12:01] <leszek> wait a sec
[12:04] <dust> http://store.steampowered.com/universe/
[12:04] <dust> i hope also all with lubuntu :)
[12:05] <leszek> absk007: http://abload.de/image.php?img=foo2irumv.png click on the top menu item here after right clicking
[12:06] <leszek> it should give you a dialog where you can add new applications to the bar
[12:08] <absk007> leszek, thanks
[12:08] <absk007> leszek, why isn't my synaptic showing the quick search bar?
[12:10] <absk007> leszek, when i installed Terminator, the LXTerminal somewhere disappeared
[12:10] <absk007> why?
[12:15] <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 ?
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <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
[12:18] <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
[12:19] <leszek> I don't see a problem with that
[12:19] <absk007> leszek, just after installing terminator, lxterminal just disappeared. Poof!!
[12:20] <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
[12:23] <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
[12:26] <absk007> leszek, ok
[12:30] <absk007> leszek, installing apt-xapian-index didn't do the job. The quick search in synaptic didn't appear
[12:36] <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
[12:38] <leszek>  update-apt-xapian-index
[12:38] <leszek> sudo !!
[14:01] <absk007> how to download notify-send in Lubuntu 14.10?
[14:02] <ianorlin> install libnotify-bin
[14:03] <ianorlin> absk007, ^^
[14:05] <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
[14:07] <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
[14:13] <absk007> how to add a directory to system path?
[16:20] <web-man> do you have a good script for conky?
[16:21] <testdr> web-man: who do u ask?
[16:22] <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..
[16:23] <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..
[16:24] <web-man> and where can I download this script
[16:24] <testdr> web-man:  you get a lot of links using the google-search -
[16:25] <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
[16:26] <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.
[16:27] <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
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <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
[16:31] <testdr> Unit193: some users may think its nice to know if their leader (or chancellor) may need an ubrella today
[16:31] <testdr> umbrella
[23:28] <dust> lubuntu will use at 15.04 systemd too?
[23:34] <krytarik> dust: If the decision holds up - just like any other flavor, I believe.
[23:35] <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
[23:38] <krytarik> dust: This is the official announcement: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2015-March/001130.html
[23:40] <dust> ...and all flavors... thx... well media didnt copy that...
