[00:00] um that's weird [00:00] try running lxpanelctl restart [00:01] https://www.imgur.com/YFPD8en.png [00:01] The color changed the clock color at the right, but not the actually windows [00:01] OH [00:01] derp [00:01] it's not the panel settings [00:01] hold on lemme fire up a vm [00:02] cool [00:02] It just makes it really hard to read the active windows like that and I cant find the setting for it ANYWHERE [00:02] it's the task bar (windows list) settings [00:03] if you can click an area next to an app you might get to it [00:03] but you can get to it through panel settings [00:03] just click on the panel applets tab [00:03] then click "task bar (window list) in the plugin list [00:03] so it's highlighted [00:03] then click preferences on the right [00:04] i think "flat buttons" may help [00:04] also getting rid of the "flash when there is any window requiring attention" might help [00:04] butr flat buttons kills the hilight [00:06] That was so easy... [00:06] I just... [00:06] yep :) [00:06] wow [00:06] hahahah [00:06] Thanks a whole lot man! [00:06] just remember you can get to all the lxpanel components' individual preferences in the panel applets [00:06] or you can fuddle with right clicking on them XD [00:06] Thanks! [00:07] np[ [00:09] I'm actually just installing it for a friend, are there any general Lubuntu only tips you got for him? [00:09] I'm stuck on Debian/Ubuntu so I dont know too much about Lubuntu [00:09] well, come to irc or join the mailing list to ask questions [00:09] we're a friendly bunch :) [00:10] if he's coming from the windows world, as you know, linux is a little different… [00:10] Will do! Gonna throw Lubuntu on ym laptop in a bit [00:10] yeah, he's only ever used windows so it'll be abit [00:10] if he's new to lxde, it's very stripped down and there's not alwyas a big flashing easy button [00:10] in general, there's an easy way to do things, but it may not be as obvious [00:11] there's still a couple things that don't have proper gui configuration front ends… [00:11] for example, alsamixer for sound [00:11] yeah, I guess he'll have to get used to googling like everyone else haha [00:11] heheheh [00:11] or he can come here or use the mailing list, as i said [00:11] What's featured on the mailing list? Also link? [00:11] the other thing to remember is that unlike windows, lubuntu (just like linux in general) can be whatever you want [00:12] so if you want to install all the pulseaudio garbage for him, he'll have the easy button for sound :) [00:12] you could even install compiz if you really wanted XD [00:12] mailing list is… [00:12] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users [00:12] generally it's only for support [00:13] development/qa/etc happens on other lists [00:13] What's a good wm that isn't tiling? [00:14] * wxl shrugs [00:14] depends on what you want [00:14] i like openbox personally [00:14] I'll have to look. Advantages of Openbox? [00:14] it's already in lubuntu XD [00:15] it's also very simple [00:15] no real frills [00:15] no compositing, even [00:15] which to some people is a bug, not a feature :) [00:15] 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] cool, that's a perfect reason to put lubuntu on [00:16] bug/feature same difference really [00:16] hahahahah [00:16] Yeah it started with Ubuntu 14.04 unity just b/c i had the live usb already and it ran BADLY [00:16] well i'm the release manager and head of qa for lubuntu and am usually here if you need anything else, Goose_ [00:16] But Lubuntu is running great, got it all customized and nice [00:16] including fun stuff like how to report bugs :) [00:17] yeah that's what brought me here in the first place, too [00:17] i support the vision that ubuntu has for their desktop interface, but i don't want it on my laptop XD [00:17] Thanks so much! I will definitely be back [00:17] later [00:17] thanks again [00:17] ta [00:17] thank you! [00:26] 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] *turns into two mouse cursors........seems like a glitch of some sort in lubuntu [00:27] any fix for iit ? [00:32] 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] argh.......my spelling is off, my bad [00:33] 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] jay34788: there are lines in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml that can be removed for switching [00:40] ianorlyn: i tried that but I still got the problem, I assume I did not remove all the necessary lines [00:42] https://gist.github.com/c509dc7ab2e39c2cdaeb and then you need to run openbox --reconfigure to reload the config file [00:44] alright let me give it a shot [02:39] What's the easiest/best way to make a live usb? [02:40] Not for ubuntu, for debian\ [02:40] !install [02:40] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [02:40] 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] You seem to be in the wrong channel, try /join #debian [02:41] Thanks! [12:24] does lubuntu 15.04 have lxqt 9? [15:19] when i have lubuntu locked screen noticed cant access machine via teamviewer how can i change this? === ianorlin is now known as ianorlyn [20:04] 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] !sysrq [20:09] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [20:09] There's other magic keys too, I invoke OOMKiller. [20:10] uio: have you tried control alt f1 in case it is just GUI freezing [20:35] how do I change the root password ? [20:35] !rootsudo [20:35] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [20:36] so I just type in !rootsudo in terminal ? [20:36] no that was to get the bot to show the documentation on why should not [20:37] what is the terminal command to change my current root password ? [20:38] jay224: Try reading the text. [20:40] i skimmed through it and see nothing about changing the root password to a new pass [20:43] jay224: because it is telling you why you should not do it [20:44] 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] i tried this sudo passwd root [20:45] went through the prompts but unfortunately it didnt change my root [20:47] isn't there a command which will allow me to change my password to anything I want without restrictions or denials [20:51] got it [20:51] passwd ...........thats the command to change the password [20:52] such a helpful group, thankyou [21:26] 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] Powersource: is this in the pager less [21:36] I think that is a known bug [21:37] pager less? [21:42] ianorlyn [21:42] less is a command that can scroll text in a terminal [21:42] if the output doesn't fit on a screen but the scrollbar won't work lxterminal as a bug [21:43] but up and down can work but I think you are talking about ouput of old commands right [21:43] Powersource: did you just open the terminal? [21:44] ianorlyn: a while ago, yes? [21:44] if you haven't filled the screen up the scrollbar appears full height [21:45] well i did. now it seems to work when i restarted the terminal [21:47] 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] ianorlyn: i was running commands like normal [21:48] but could i have done that while affected by another command? === SonikkuAmerica is now known as littlebunnyfufu === littlebunnyfufu is now known as noIMfrenocha === noIMfrenocha is now known as S-USA === S-USA is now known as SonikkuAmerica
