[01:47] <mikubuntu> i have a disc from the hospital with cat scan images, but lubuntu is not opening automagically -- any suggestions?
[01:55] <mikubuntu> i have xubuntu restricted extras package installed, are there some other codecs/drivers i might need?
[02:21] <holstein> mikubuntu: could be, the disc has a "viewer" with it, and you are required to run it with whatever operating system they require you to run it with
[02:22] <holstein> when i had one of those, i was able to look around on the disc, manally, and open the images
[02:22] <holstein> you can try adding the restricted extras..
[02:22] <holstein> !restricted
[02:23] <mikubuntu> holstein it does have some files marked 'viewer,' but of course it wouldn't launch. i think i found the file with the images, but they won't open individually either
[02:23] <holstein> but, it may be that its not even what we consider "restricted", but rather, just flat out requiring the bundled application
[02:23] <holstein> mikubuntu: it wont matter what gets marked "viewer".. it'll be a matter of forcefully opening the files, other places
[02:24] <holstein> the labels, and suggested default applications wont have to be relevant
[02:24] <mikubuntu> is there a command line i could use to find image files and force open?
[02:25] <holstein> mikubuntu: sure, but that wont help make things that are not designed to work, work
[02:25] <holstein> mikubuntu: you dont need the command line.. you can simply right click and force open in another application
[02:26] <mikubuntu> any suggested app?
[02:26] <holstein> i know its not all that simple, straight forward, or constructive, but, keep in mind, lubuntu/ubuntu/linux is not doing anything to prevent those from openging
[02:26] <mikubuntu> thats part of lubuntu standard?
[02:26] <holstein> mikubuntu: i will literally keep in mind that im promised, from the creators of the media, support for a completely different operating system, and just start trying to open in *everything"
[02:27] <holstein> mikubuntu: lubuntu's standard is completely open.. meaning, the creators of that disc are freely able to support it, but if they dont, you can have a challenging timne
[02:28] <holstein> what i typically do is drag the data in, off the disc.. then, i will start sifting through, looking for a specific file type.. an extension
[02:29] <holstein> .jpg, .png, for example... i will search around about how to open them with that specific information.. *not* searching lubuntu, but, ubuntu, and/or linux.. anything that works in ubuntu will happen in lubuntu
[02:29] <holstein> no need to narrow the scope unnecessarily
[02:31] <mikubuntu> oh, well -- i give up. not feeling well enough to wrastle with it. i tried right clicking image file. got nothin.
[02:31] <holstein> sure
[02:31] <holstein> it'll likely require digging deeper into what the file type is.. the extension
[02:31] <mikubuntu> gnna try one more thing -- image magick
[02:32] <holstein> mikubuntu: what file type are the media?
[02:32] <mikubuntu> fpm
[02:32] <holstein> you can feel free to share one, and i'll look at it, and let you know how i open, if i can
[02:32] <mikubuntu> don't know really
[02:33] <holstein> mikubuntu: dont know what? are they .fpm?
[02:33] <mikubuntu> no, fpm was a slip of my keyboard hand ... lol
[02:33] <holstein> you can ask in #ubuntu, for example, since, opening .fpm files will be the same, since, lubuntu is uubuntu
[02:33] <mikubuntu> don't know the file type
[02:33] <holstein> mikubuntu: you should be able to right click, in the file manager, and see details..
[02:36] <mikubuntu> holstein thx, but i'm giving up for now
[12:59] <klubuntu> Is it higher system requirements for 15.04 then 14.04.2 ? What to use xubuntu or lubuntu. I have 64bit cpu 1Gb ram.
