[00:00] <wxl> um that's weird
[00:00] <wxl> try running lxpanelctl restart
[00:01] <Goose_> https://www.imgur.com/YFPD8en.png
[00:01] <Goose_> The color changed the clock color at the right, but not the actually windows
[00:01] <wxl> OH
[00:01] <wxl> derp
[00:01] <wxl> it's not the panel settings
[00:01] <wxl> hold on lemme fire up a vm
[00:02] <Goose_> cool
[00:02] <Goose_> It just makes it really hard to read the active windows like that and I cant find the setting for it ANYWHERE
[00:02] <wxl> it's the task bar (windows list) settings
[00:03] <wxl> if you can click an area next to an app you might get to it
[00:03] <wxl> but you can get to it through panel settings
[00:03] <wxl> just click on the panel applets tab
[00:03] <wxl> then click "task bar (window list) in the plugin list
[00:03] <wxl> so it's highlighted
[00:03] <wxl> then click preferences on the right
[00:04] <wxl> i think "flat buttons" may help
[00:04] <wxl> also getting rid of the "flash when there is any window requiring attention" might help
[00:04] <wxl> butr flat buttons kills the hilight
[00:06] <Goose_> That was so easy...
[00:06] <Goose_> I just...
[00:06] <wxl> yep :)
[00:06] <Goose_> wow
[00:06] <wxl> hahahah
[00:06] <Goose_> Thanks a whole lot man!
[00:06] <wxl> just remember you can get to all the lxpanel components' individual preferences in the panel applets
[00:06] <wxl> or you can fuddle with right clicking on them XD
[00:06] <Goose_> Thanks!
[00:07] <wxl> np[
[00:09] <Goose_> I'm actually just installing it for a friend, are there any general Lubuntu only tips you got for him?
[00:09] <Goose_> I'm stuck on Debian/Ubuntu so I dont know too much about Lubuntu
[00:09] <wxl> well, come to irc or join the mailing list to ask questions
[00:09] <wxl> we're a friendly bunch :)
[00:10] <wxl> if he's coming from the windows world, as you know, linux is a little different…
[00:10] <Goose_> Will do! Gonna throw Lubuntu on ym laptop in a bit
[00:10] <Goose_> yeah, he's only ever used windows so it'll be abit
[00:10] <wxl> if he's new to lxde, it's very stripped down and there's not alwyas a big flashing easy button
[00:10] <wxl> in general, there's an easy way to do things, but it may not be as obvious
[00:11] <wxl> there's still a couple things that don't have proper gui configuration front ends…
[00:11] <wxl> for example, alsamixer for sound
[00:11] <Goose_> yeah, I guess he'll have to get used to googling like everyone else haha
[00:11] <wxl> heheheh
[00:11] <wxl> or he can come here or use the mailing list, as i said
[00:11] <Goose_> What's featured on the mailing list? Also link?
[00:11] <wxl> the other thing to remember is that unlike windows, lubuntu (just like linux in general) can be whatever you want
[00:12] <wxl> so if you want to install all the pulseaudio garbage for him, he'll have the easy button for sound :)
[00:12] <wxl> you could even install compiz if you really wanted XD
[00:12] <wxl> mailing list is…
[00:12] <wxl> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
[00:12] <wxl> generally it's only for support
[00:13] <wxl> development/qa/etc happens on other lists
[00:13] <Goose_> What's a good wm that isn't tiling?
[00:14]  * wxl shrugs
[00:14] <wxl> depends on what you want
[00:14] <wxl> i like openbox personally
[00:14] <Goose_> I'll have to look. Advantages of Openbox?
[00:14] <wxl> it's already in lubuntu XD
[00:15] <wxl> it's also very simple
[00:15] <wxl> no real frills
[00:15] <wxl> no compositing, even
[00:15] <wxl> which to some people is a bug, not a feature :)
[00:15] <Goose_> Oh! Well then I kinda like it. But I'm also new to Lubuntu. I actually just got it on his pc because it was old and running xp.
[00:16] <wxl> cool, that's a perfect reason to put lubuntu on
[00:16] <Goose_> bug/feature same difference really
[00:16] <wxl> hahahahah
[00:16] <Goose_> Yeah it started with Ubuntu 14.04 unity just b/c i had the live usb already and it ran BADLY
[00:16] <wxl> well i'm the release manager and head of qa for lubuntu and am usually here if you need anything else, Goose_
[00:16] <Goose_> But Lubuntu is running great, got it all customized and nice
[00:16] <wxl> including fun stuff like how to report bugs :)
[00:17] <wxl> yeah that's what brought me here in the first place, too
[00:17] <wxl> i support the vision that ubuntu has for their desktop interface, but i don't want it on my laptop XD
[00:17] <Goose_> Thanks so much! I will definitely be back
[00:17] <Goose_> later
[00:17] <Goose_> thanks again
[00:17] <wxl> ta
[00:17] <wxl> thank you!
[00:26] <jay34788> sometimes my mouse arrow cursor turns into two curors with a tiny desktop printscreen image in center........how do I stop this from happening ?
[00:27] <jay34788> *turns into two mouse cursors........seems like a glitch of some sort in lubuntu
[00:27] <jay34788> any fix for iit ?
[00:32] <jay34788> another problem I am having is when I scroll down with the house it will switch from desktop 1 to desktop 2 back to desktop 1 and vice versa
[00:33] <jay34788> argh.......my spelling is off, my bad
[00:33] <jay34788> if anyone cares to shed some sort of advice on how to fix these problems I am having with lubuntu, it is much appreciated
[00:39] <ianorlyn> jay34788: there are lines in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml that can be removed for switching
[00:40] <jay34788> ianorlyn: i tried that but I still got the problem, I assume I did not remove all the necessary lines
[00:42] <ianorlyn> https://gist.github.com/c509dc7ab2e39c2cdaeb and then you need to run openbox --reconfigure to reload the config file
[00:44] <jay34788> alright let me give it a shot
[02:39] <Goose_> What's the easiest/best way to make a live usb?
[02:40] <Goose_> Not for ubuntu, for debian\
[02:40] <holstein> !install
[02:40] <holstein> Goose_: most distros allow you to dd copy iso's, if you prefer. should be able to use unetbootin, or whatever the debian community suggest...
[02:41] <Unit193> You seem to be in the wrong channel, try  /join #debian
[02:41] <Goose_> Thanks!
[12:24] <NgBUCKWANGS> does lubuntu 15.04 have lxqt 9?
[15:19] <zh1> when i have lubuntu locked screen noticed cant access machine via teamviewer how can i change this?
[20:04] <uio> Hullo - sometimes my machine just slows down to the point of effectively freezing. Is there a way to put in a sort of ctrl-alt-del that would allow me to avoid my present tactic of a hard reboot ??
[20:09] <Unit193> !sysrq
[20:09] <Unit193> There's other magic keys too, I invoke OOMKiller.
[20:10] <ianorlyn> uio: have you tried control alt f1 in case it is just GUI freezing
[20:35] <jay224> how do I change the root password ?
[20:35] <ianorlyn> !rootsudo
[20:36] <jay224> so I just type in !rootsudo in terminal ?
[20:36] <ianorlyn> no that was to get the bot to show the documentation on why should not
[20:37] <jay224> what is the terminal command to change my current root password ?
[20:38] <Unit193> jay224: Try reading the text.
[20:40] <jay224> i skimmed through it and see nothing about changing the root password to a new pass
[20:43] <ianorlyn> jay224: because it is telling you why you should not do it
[20:44] <jay224> i had changed my password once and now I wish to change it back to the old pass I had but it keeps saying the pass is too simple or too similar to my current root pass
[20:44] <jay224> i tried this sudo passwd root
[20:45] <jay224> went through the prompts but unfortunately it didnt change my root
[20:47] <jay224> isn't there a command which will allow me to change my password to anything I want without restrictions or denials
[20:51] <jay224> got it
[20:51] <jay224> passwd ...........thats the command to change the password
[20:52] <jay224> such a helpful group, thankyou
[21:26] <Powersource> i can't manage to scroll in lxterminal. "scrollback lines" is set to 1000 (default) and i've used more lines than fits in the window, but the scrollbar is still full length
[21:36] <ianorlyn> Powersource: is this in the pager less
[21:36] <ianorlyn> I think that is a known bug
[21:37] <Powersource> pager less?
[21:42] <Powersource> ianorlyn
[21:42] <ianorlyn> less is a command that can scroll text in a terminal
[21:42] <ianorlyn> if the output doesn't fit on a screen but the scrollbar won't work lxterminal as a bug
[21:43] <ianorlyn> but up and down can work but I think you are talking about ouput of old commands right
[21:43] <ianorlyn> Powersource: did you just open the terminal?
[21:44] <Powersource> ianorlyn: a while ago, yes?
[21:44] <ianorlyn> if you haven't filled the screen up the scrollbar appears full height
[21:45] <Powersource> well i did. now it seems to work when i restarted the terminal
[21:47] <ianorlyn> although if you used a command that uses ncurses it might not define what scrolling does and will take up the entire terminal until you quit it
[21:48] <Powersource> ianorlyn: i was running commands like normal
[21:48] <Powersource> but could i have done that while affected by another command?
