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