---|---|---|
choki | -.- | 00:23 |
choki | btw where is philw? | 00:23 |
wxl | !language | choki | 00:23 |
ubottu | choki: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 00:23 |
choki | yeah | 00:24 |
choki | stupid, i go to arch | 00:29 |
choki | just pain to set up | 00:29 |
choki | https://push.cx/2008/256-color-xterms-in-ubuntu won't help at all | 00:29 |
choki | bye | 00:29 |
* crepple is listening reading choki and then searching https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/LXTerminal/Customising | 00:30 | |
choki | crepple: the wors wiki article i found before, doesnt help at all | 00:31 |
crepple | choki The lxde channel is a bit form ant at this time of night but they're helpful in the (European) morning | 00:35 |
crepple | I meant dormant | 00:35 |
choki | crepple: xterm is just sh... u know the sh.... word | 00:36 |
wxl | choki: so use your terminal of choice, hm? | 00:36 |
choki | how can simple things to setup beeing so hard?? | 00:36 |
crepple | choki I know what you mean. I'm just getting used to lxde - I'm normally an xfce man | 00:36 |
choki | crepple: no it is not about simple things like gui or deskto environments. setting 256 colors in xterm u need to study 10 years before u get it work | 00:37 |
choki | work, which should be done by canoncial or lubuntu dev team | 00:38 |
crepple | choki I think I read that lubuntu is unofficial - gets no support from canonical? | 00:38 |
wxl | crepple: not true anymore | 00:38 |
wxl | choki: you should be complaining at debian, it would seem. | 00:39 |
crepple | wxl OK I'm out of date. I'll update my memory :) | 00:39 |
choki | i would like to tell with philw now | 00:39 |
choki | please | 00:39 |
wxl | crepple: several years out of date, frankly | 00:39 |
choki | where is he gone? | 00:39 |
wxl | choki: go msg him | 00:39 |
choki | i remember him | 00:39 |
choki | he is not online anymore :( | 00:40 |
choki | does he stilll fine, still alive? | 00:40 |
wxl | um, he's online, for sure. | 00:40 |
choki | no | 00:40 |
choki | i cant see him here | 00:40 |
choki | philw | 00:40 |
wxl | he's not in this channel | 00:40 |
wxl | but he is on the irc network | 00:40 |
choki | why | 00:40 |
choki | he was always in here | 00:40 |
wxl | like i said, msg him and ask him | 00:40 |
crepple | wxl though to be honest - the Debian channels peeps are so knowledgeable. ~They really know their OS | 00:41 |
wxl | this is not #phillw | 00:41 |
choki | oh | 00:41 |
wxl | crepple: yep, and they're upstream for ubuntu. so any problems with xterm generally start there. | 00:41 |
choki | ok i will rant there now... | 00:42 |
wxl | can't wait | 00:42 |

plujon | Is there some way to script a desktop session? I would like to do something like: open firefox, wait a second, open new tab, wait a second, open another tab so that I can compare screencasts of different levels of quality using the exact same actions and timing. | 18:43 |
ianorlin | plujon: you might want to look into xdotool which is a way to automate things with x | 18:45 |
plujon | ianorlin: Cool; thanks; I'll take a look. | 18:47 |
asd | Hey guys, is it true that in Lubuntu I can't run cron jobs at reboot? | 18:57 |
plujon | asd: "cron jobs at reboot"? | 18:58 |
plujon | asd: A cron job by definition does not take place at a specific _event_. It takes place at a specific _time_. | 18:59 |
asd | yea running jobs at reboot | 18:59 |
Unit193 | "is it true" meaning someone told you or you can't figure it out? | 18:59 |
Unit193 | plujon: Well, there is @reboot :P | 18:59 |
asd | yes @reboot | 18:59 |
asd | Unit193, I read it on a site | 19:00 |
plujon | I've never heard of that. In a crontab? Interesting. | 19:00 |
asd | yea in crontab | 19:00 |
Unit193 | plujon: Yep, generally yes things are time based, but @reboot is a time right? ;) | 19:00 |
asd | but even simple things like: @reboot ls, cant work for me | 19:00 |
Unit193 | @yearly|@annually, @monthly, @weekly, @daily|@midnight, @hourly are all just aliases. | 19:02 |
plujon | asd: @reboot sleep 30 && ls # maybe? | 19:04 |
asd | plujon, I'm going to try it now | 19:04 |
Unit193 | asd: Where are you expecting the output? | 19:05 |
asd | in terminal-emulator | 19:05 |
Unit193 | No... That's not how crontab works... Try @reboot ls > ~/myfiles | 19:06 |
asd | I could run @reebot xterm -hold -e ls | 19:07 |
asd | probably | 19:07 |
Unit193 | DISPLAY=:0 | 19:23 |
plujon | I'd like to make a recording of my desktop for publishing on the web. I am trying to use recordmydesktop and avconv to convert the result to webm format, but the result is pretty poor. Is there a guide for doing this? | 21:08 |
plujon | By "pretty poor", I mean, "looks fuzzy". And I notice that the size of the webm result is practically unrelated to the size of the .ogv produced by recordmydesktop (I produced about a dozen to compare different frame rates and such). | 21:09 |
Unit193 | !screencast | This is the best I can see | 21:09 |
ubottu | This is the best I can see: Some programs to capture your screen are Kazam, Vokoscreen & Simple Screen Recorder. Also ffmpeg/libav with x11grab option on the command line. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 21:09 |
plujon | Unit193: Thanks, that page looks useful. | 21:11 |
Unit193 | Lets hope. | 21:14 |
plujon | Interestingly, webm isn't mentioned in the above pages. | 21:15 |
plujon | I am using webm because I noticed my android device doesn't play .ogv files. | 21:15 |
Unit193 | And, webm is pretty cool, just like opus. | 21:18 |
plujon | "For size we recommend 1024x768/1280x720 at 24fps." | 21:21 |
plujon | No recommendation for quality. | 21:22 |
plujon | Well, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts has some useful information, but it also lacks the information I most want: namely, exactly what app and settings to use to publish a screencast so that it is available to most people, not too big, and clear enough to view. | 21:23 |
Pyhscript | hello | 21:33 |
=== SonikkuAmerica is now known as littlebunnyfufu | ||
Pyhscript | i have 448 mb of ram will i be able to run lubuntu? | 21:34 |
=== littlebunnyfufu is now known as SonikkuAmerc | ||
=== SonikkuAmerc is now known as SonikkuAmerica | ||
MajB | pyhscript: That should be enough to run Lubuntu. It is more than the minimum required but the only way to be sure because hardware makes a difference is to try it and see. | 22:08 |
Pyhscript | MajB i know it was minimun for older version but afaik it's less than mimimum for new version | 22:10 |
Unit193 | Browsers aren't going to work well, at all. | 22:11 |
Pyhscript | Unit193, with my specs? | 22:12 |
Unit193 | 448M ram? Unless you're using w3m. | 22:12 |
Pyhscript | my integrated graphic card takes 64 mb | 22:13 |
Pyhscript | but ok i understand | 22:13 |
Pyhscript | Unit193, suggestions? | 22:13 |
Unit193 | Pyhscript: Well, any system you use isn't going to like browsers. You can try some more lightweight ones, but that's just plain not a lot of ram. Xombrero, qupzilla, etc to name a few. | 22:14 |
Pyhscript | Unit193, are browsers for lubuntu more advanced? here on xp(i know i am moving away from it) i can run chrome,mozilla or any browser i want without problems | 22:16 |
MajB | I am running Lubuntu 14.04.2 on an old Dell Inspiron 1000 with about amount of RAM. I am using Firefox with no problems. | 22:17 |
MajB | with about the same amount of RAM | 22:19 |
* Unit193 shrugs. | 22:20 | |
Unit193 | If it works, it works I suppose. Least I've run it on was 1G, which was.. | 22:20 |
Pyhscript | and yea one more question: i use usb 3g dongle t connect is that good supported on lubuntu? | 22:20 |
Pyhscript | *to | 22:21 |
MajB | Boot from a CD and try all of the stuff out. Take it for a test drive. | 22:21 |
Unit193 | !info modemmanager | 22:21 |
Unit193 | Exactly, live is very helpful. | 22:21 |
ubottu | modemmanager (source: modemmanager): D-Bus service for managing modems. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1 (utopic), package size 497 kB, installed size 2508 kB | 22:21 |
Pyhscript | MajB i will use liveusb as i dont have burner | 22:22 |
MajB | Same same. | 22:23 |
Pyhscript | oh modemanager is used to connect? is it easy to use? or i need to configure stuff ,make conf files etc | 22:23 |
Pyhscript | switch modes | 22:23 |
MajB | I recently had a problem with a flash drive that I created with unetbootin. Apparently there is a bug. | 22:23 |
Pyhscript | !info NetworkManager | 22:24 |
ubottu | Package NetworkManager does not exist in utopic | 22:24 |
Pyhscript | ah ok i heard that's used in ubuntu | 22:24 |
Pyhscript | or arch | 22:24 |
Unit193 | !info network-manager | 22:24 |
ubottu | network-manager (source: network-manager): network management framework (daemon and userspace tools). In component main, is optional. Version 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu28 (utopic), package size 536 kB, installed size 2208 kB (Only available for linux-any) | 22:24 |
Pyhscript | oh | 22:24 |
Pyhscript | ok sorry i am noob but do they come when i download lubuntu or i must download it from xp and then get it from lubuntu? | 22:26 |
Pyhscript | ok let me clarify: to get those packages do i need internet access? | 22:26 |
MajB | Have you downloaded the Lubuntu iso | 22:27 |
Unit193 | They are installed by default. I've never used 3G. | 22:27 |
Pyhscript | ah ok | 22:28 |
Pyhscript | MajB not yet | 22:31 |
MajB | That will be your first step. | 22:37 |
MajB | Since you have what appears to be an old machine, you will probably want to down load the 32 bit i386iso to try it first. | 22:38 |
Pyhscript | MajB so not desktop edition? | 22:39 |
Pyhscript | i cant find i386 | 22:40 |
MajB | Yes that is the desktop edition | 22:40 |
Pyhscript | ah good | 22:40 |
MajB | If you notice there are many. Some are 32 bit and some are 64 bit. | 22:40 |
Pyhscript | no there are no many just standard pc 32 bit,standard pc 64 bit,powerpc and alternative version for < 400 mb of ram | 22:42 |
Pyhscript | MajB | 22:42 |
Pyhscript | i need standard pc 32 bit right? | 22:43 |
Pyhscript | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu | 22:43 |
Pyhscript | here right? | 22:43 |
MajB | Go here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04/release/ | 22:45 |
MajB | Download the first one. That is the 32 bit version. | 22:46 |
Pyhscript | MajB ok i am downloading | 22:48 |
Pyhscript | it will take a while | 22:49 |
Pyhscript | 25 minutes | 22:49 |
Pyhscript | MajB i might fall a sleep will you be here tommorow? | 22:49 |
MajB | After you download the iso, you should check the md5sum (hash). If you don't know how to do that check here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 22:50 |
Pyhscript | dont worry i know | 22:50 |
Pyhscript | i have python script to do it(you see Py in my name :) ) | 22:50 |
Pyhscript | s/(// | 22:51 |
MajB | I will be on tomorrow but we are traveling from Texas to Arizona | 22:51 |
Pyhscript | oh | 22:51 |
MajB | It may be late. | 22:52 |
Pyhscript | well it's late here now here it's almost 1:== | 22:54 |
Pyhscript | 1:00 * | 22:54 |
MajB | So there is a 7 hour time difference. You are in Europe somewhere. | 22:57 |
Pyhscript | yup | 22:58 |
Pyhscript | not saying where thought :D | 22:58 |
Pyhscript | MajB , 7 hours more or less? | 22:58 |
MajB | OK. I will look for you tomorrow if you have any more questions, but I am sure anyone on this channel will be able and more than willing to assist. | 22:59 |
Pyhscript | ok np | 22:59 |
Pyhscript | thanks | 22:59 |
Pyhscript | MajB basically what i need to do when its downloaded is to get iso to usb with universal usb installer or usb writer or something i'll find by simple search right? | 23:02 |
MajB | That is correct | 23:02 |
Pyhscript | good | 23:03 |
Pyhscript | then make it in bios to boot it of usb and then choose to run in live mode and then everything i need to do is to connect it? | 23:04 |
MajB | You got it. It is really simple. | 23:04 |
Pyhscript | oh good | 23:05 |
Pyhscript | uh oh iso downloaded | 23:26 |
Pyhscript | ok i go check md5sum | 23:26 |
