[16:32] <user6997> hello folks, is it safe to install the icon pack from here: http://lubuntublog.blogspot.com/p/artwork.html on debian?
[16:33] <user6997> 'cause the fellas on the debian irc say it's not
[16:34] <wxl> user6997: and what reason do they have for that?
[16:35] <user6997> wxl, they just said it was a bad idea and didn't elaborate.
[16:36] <wxl> user6997: then i'd probably ignore them.
[16:36] <user6997> ok, so I should be good then?
[16:36] <wxl> user6997: i don't see any reason why not. are you using debian?
[16:37] <user6997> wxl, indeed I am.
[16:37] <wxl> user6997: and the blog says any debian based system would work, no?
[16:38] <user6997> wxl, indeed it does, however the debian folks were telling me that installing a ppa could break things
[16:39] <wxl> user6997: of course they could. that's always a risk.
[16:39] <wxl> user6997: that's a risk on any ppa on any system
[16:39] <wxl> user6997: but with artwork? i doubt it will have any significant, earth-shattering effect even if it did break something.
[16:39] <user6997> wxl, but this is just icons though
[16:39] <user6997> and a themne
[16:40] <wxl> user6997: exactly, carry on :)
[16:40] <user6997> wxl, thank you good sir
[16:40] <wxl> user6997: my concern is that it won't work because it doesn't reference debian codenames
[16:41] <user6997> wxl, how would I check weather or not it worked?
[16:41] <wxl> user6997: because it will say it installed something :)
[16:42] <user6997> it says gpg:        imported: 1
[16:43] <wxl> user6997: try sudo apt-get -y install lubuntu-artwork
[16:43] <wxl> it shouldn't work
[16:43] <wxl> instead you should just download the icons and theme
[16:44] <user6997> unable to locate :(
[16:44] <wxl> user6997: unable to locate the download?
[16:45] <user6997> wxl unable to locate with sudo apt-get -y install lubuntu-artwork
[16:46] <wxl> user6997: which relates to my comment about the debian codenames not being used. just download the icons and theme and manually install.
[16:46] <user6997> wxl, how do i install it with the tar.gz?
[16:46] <user6997> I don't usually use that kind of package
[16:47] <wxl> user6997: well, download, unzip and use obconf or whatever
[16:47] <Eliz> Just download the deb and install it with dpkg would work alright no?
[16:47] <wxl> Eliz: naw, still no reference to debian.
[16:47] <Eliz> Mmm I'll have to toy with that idea later.
[16:47] <user6997> wxl what is obconf?
[16:48] <wxl> user6997: open box configuration
[16:48] <wxl> user6997: you could always ask the debian guys to tell you how to do it given the fact you have a theme and icons
[16:49] <user6997> wxl, true.
[16:55] <ianorlin> also lxappearnce has some options for installing it
