silver_m | hi I have a question about plank | 17:51 |
silver_m | I removed the anchor icon in plank | 17:52 |
silver_m | but now I cannot set plank to be transparent background | 17:52 |
silver_m | how can I do this? | 17:52 |
krytarik | silver_m: "~/.config/plank/dock1/settings" | 18:20 |
krytarik | (Set "Theme" to "Transparent".) | 18:22 |
silver_m | My theme is set to transparent however it is gray and not transparent | 18:29 |
ianorlyn | silver_m, are you using compisting? | 18:30 |
silver_m | I use compton | 18:31 |
ianorlyn | hmm I do not know | 18:31 |
silver_m | what should run first? compton or plank? | 18:32 |
silver_m | I can disable compton and plank | 18:32 |
silver_m | and run with the correct order | 18:33 |
silver_m | but I dont know what must run first | 18:33 |
JohnDoe_71Rus | plank is some like dock? First compton, after 15-20 second plank | 18:43 |
ianorlyn | yes plank is a dock | 18:43 |
JohnDoe_71Rus | i use cairo-dock + xcompmgr | 18:43 |
silver_m | I use lubuntu generic 3.18.0-13 and it does not make reboot or shutdown | 19:25 |
silver_m | I click reboot and does nothing | 19:25 |
silver_m | which lubuntu version should I install to intel atom? | 19:58 |
silver_m | I think 15.04 runs ok | 20:04 |
silver_m | however there is a grub at startup and confuses me I dont want it | 20:04 |
ianorlyn | silver_m, I think you install to a hard drive or ssd not on the cpu itself | 20:04 |
silver_m | can I remove grub from startup? | 20:05 |
ianorlyn | grub is the bootloader that you need to boot lubuntu most of the time | 20:07 |
silver_m | yes but | 20:08 |
silver_m | when It opens | 20:08 |
silver_m | it says ubuntu | 20:08 |
silver_m | I click it | 20:08 |
silver_m | and says error | 20:08 |
silver_m | then I move a selection down | 20:08 |
silver_m | and click it | 20:08 |
silver_m | and boots ok | 20:08 |
silver_m | now my pc is stuck because of grub | 20:09 |
silver_m | and needs reboot from button | 20:09 |
silver_m | I did a hard boot | 20:10 |
silver_m | now grub says | 20:10 |
silver_m | Ubuntu with linux 3.18.0-13 generic | 20:10 |
silver_m | Ubuntu with linux 3.18.0-13 systemd | 20:11 |
silver_m | if I choose generic pc is halted, if i choose system id pc boots ok | 20:11 |
ianorlyn | silver_m, which version of lubuntu is this? | 20:11 |
silver_m | systemd not system id | 20:11 |
silver_m | 15.04 | 20:11 |
ianorlyn | boot it and updates | 20:12 |
ianorlyn | 15.04 should default to systemd by default after a few changes | 20:12 |
silver_m | it says starting 219 version | 20:12 |
ianorlyn | I think that only happened if you ran an early development release of 15.04 before the switch from upstart to systemd | 20:12 |
silver_m | and what should I do to stop appear grub and choose upstart instead of systemd? | 20:13 |
silver_m | I cannot reboot properly | 20:13 |
silver_m | it starts grub | 20:13 |
silver_m | and causes problem | 20:13 |
silver_m | I did all updates and upgrades | 20:14 |
silver_m | can I configure grub to run automatically systemd ? | 20:15 |
silver_m | I use grub2, and I want it to boot in Advanced Ubuntu and then Ubuntu linux 3.18.0-13 systemd, how to configure this? | 20:18 |
silver_m | this is insane | 20:24 |
silver_m | every time I reboot | 20:24 |
silver_m | my pc becomes dark | 20:24 |
silver_m | then I push on/off and pc closes then I push on/off an pc starts grub2 | 20:24 |
silver_m | and then I choose advanced ubuntu option | 20:25 |
silver_m | and then I choose lubuntu systemd | 20:25 |
silver_m | and then pc boots | 20:25 |
silver_m | anyone can help? | 20:25 |
krytarik | silver_m: Make sure "linux-generic" is installed. | 20:25 |
silver_m | how to install this | 20:25 |
silver_m | sudo apt-get install linux-generic ?? | 20:27 |
krytarik | Yep. | 20:27 |
silver_m | ok it installs it now | 20:28 |
silver_m | it is newer version it says 3.19.0-25 | 20:29 |
silver_m | I used old version 3.18.0-13 | 20:29 |
silver_m | after new version should I do a reboot again or should I install anything more? | 20:30 |
silver_m | I have another question, if I install unity-tweak-tool in lubuntu, will pc have any improvements? or it is only for ubuntu? | 20:32 |
silver_m | well even with linux-generic pc has black screen in reboot and needs to push on/off button to close, then again on/off buton to open in grub2 and then again choose the options advanced ubuntu and systemd | 20:36 |
silver_m | very inconvenient | 20:36 |
silver_m | can I make grub2 to run automatically systemd in reboot? | 20:37 |
silver_m | the funny thing is that a quarter ago there was not any grub2 in my pc reboot | 20:38 |
silver_m | but suddently appeared this option | 20:38 |
silver_m | can I configure grub 2? | 20:39 |
silver_m | ok I du some updates maybe it fixes it | 20:44 |
decafdoughnut | I have an issue with my computer, when I turn it on the monitor just displays a white screen with a mouse cursor. It doesn't do anything. | 20:46 |
silver_m | and it was doing that for many days? or suddenty? | 20:47 |
decafdoughnut | i just installed. it worked fine until I rebooted | 20:48 |
ianorlin | decafdoughnut: does clicking mouse do anything? | 20:48 |
decafdoughnut | nope | 20:48 |
silver_m | Yes my pc has problem in reboot too | 20:48 |
silver_m | I did some updates | 20:48 |
decafdoughnut | but I can't get in to anything at all | 20:49 |
silver_m | now I will try it again. My pc started appear a grub2 suddenly, after reboot the screen goes black I push on/off button, I push again on/off button and then grub2 appears | 20:50 |
silver_m | another question, can I configure dropbox not appear on startup? | 20:52 |
silver_m | ok my pc is fixed I installed linux-generic and did updates so grub2 dissappeared | 21:00 |
silver_m | and my pc boots ok | 21:00 |
silver_m | thanks for help | 21:01 |
silver_m | well now I have to solve the issue of transparent plank | 21:04 |
silver_m | well ubuntu one is now working or stopped? | 21:08 |
silver_m | lubuntu is good when you get it to work but until you get it to work it is very annoying | 21:18 |
BotchlaB | silver_m, I don't think it's /that/ bad, tbh | 21:22 |
BotchlaB | Yeah, I needed to tinker some stuff, like turn off ibus so that gedit wouldn't consume 100% CPU. | 21:23 |
BotchlaB | But they were mostly minor things. | 21:23 |
silver_m | BotchlaB I have a problem with compton and plank | 21:25 |
silver_m | I want to run together so the plank has transparent background | 21:25 |
BotchlaB | Wait. What exactly are compton and plank? I'm curious since these seem to be physics terms. :) | 21:25 |
holstein | have you tried wbar? | 21:25 |
holstein | it used to do transparency without needing comp like that | 21:25 |
silver_m | but the plank has not transparent background it has gray | 21:25 |
holstein | adding compositing may be more than just a trivial thing with lubuntu... and it may make it unstable, or, "heavy" | 21:26 |
silver_m | what is wbar | 21:26 |
holstein | !info wbar | 21:26 |
ubottu | wbar (source: wbar): light and fast launch bar. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3.4-2 (vivid), package size 57 kB, installed size 215 kB | 21:26 |
silver_m | wbar is like plank? | 21:26 |
holstein | its a plank like item that has transparency, as i said, simpler.. and lighter, as well | 21:26 |
silver_m | ok I will try it | 21:26 |
holstein | its more appropriate, i think, for lxde.. | 21:26 |
holstein | i have used both plank and wbar.. they are different, for sure.. im just saying, wbar is light, and transparent, and doenst require 3d for it, or comp.. | 21:27 |
silver_m | BotchlaB compton is a window manager, and plank is a dock app like docky | 21:27 |
holstein | right | 21:27 |
BotchlaB | I see. | 21:27 |
holstein | compton *may* supply what you need, for transparency support in plank | 21:28 |
silver_m | well i run both compton and plank but I removed the anchor icon of plank and there is no transparency | 21:29 |
holstein | silver_m: you can use the config file, mentioned before.. otherwise, test that you have compositing | 21:29 |
silver_m | I dont know how to bring back the anchor icon | 21:29 |
holstein | just installing compton dosent do the trick.. | 21:29 |
holstein | you dont need the anchor icon, but, you can always simply reset the config file, and go back to a default setup | 21:29 |
holstein | with the anchor.. and all other defaults | 21:30 |
ianorlin | yeah I mean only if you have a recent one is it worth it | 21:30 |
silver_m | Botchlab are you a physician? | 21:31 |
BotchlaB | ...No? lol | 21:31 |
silver_m | in google if I type plank it shows max planck | 21:31 |
BotchlaB | OHH. | 21:31 |
BotchlaB | You mean *physicist*. | 21:31 |
BotchlaB | Physician = doctor. | 21:31 |
silver_m | yes | 21:32 |
holstein | you dont need to delete the config file, you can just rename it.. and have it as a backup | 21:32 |
holstein | !ot | 21:32 |
ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 21:32 |
holstein | we have #lubuntu-offtopic as well :) | 21:32 |
silver_m | holstein if I install wbar should I remove compton? | 21:38 |
holstein | silver_m: there really wont be a "should" scneario.. if you dont need compositing, i wouldnt use compton.. | 21:39 |
silver_m | I installed compton only because I wanted to run plank | 21:39 |
silver_m | I have another question. I have dropbox but I dont want it to run at startup, is there a way to stop it from startup? | 21:42 |
suncokret | i use 32bit lubuntu, what will be faster if i install 64bit? | 21:43 |
ianorlin | suncokret: what kind of processor and how much ram? | 21:44 |
suncokret | intel core 2 duo e8400 and 2Gb ram | 21:44 |
holstein | silver_m: what i do is, just dont run dropbox locally. otherwise, they will have to provide support for the product.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/142131/how-do-i-prevent-dropbox-from-being-automatically-added-to-the-autostart-list-af may work.. | 21:45 |
ianorlin | ah I run 64 bit on my core 2 duo with 4 GB ram | 21:46 |
ianorlin | 2 might or might not be worth it | 21:46 |
suncokret | i instaled lubuntu 32bit on pentium d 820 with 1GB ram, and now i use that hard disk on other motherboard with e8400 and 2GB ram | 21:48 |
suncokret | so i don't know if i install 64 bit, how much faster it will be than 32bit | 21:48 |
ianorlin | I don't think much | 21:49 |
ianorlin | although if you run many browser tabs it oculd start running out of ram | 21:49 |
suncokret | tell me this, for example if on lubuntu 32bit firefox use 100MB ram, will on lubuntu 64bit firefox use 200MB? | 21:50 |
ianorlin | not double but some more | 21:52 |
BotchlaB | I see, so even on amd64-compatible systems, to use less resources, 32-bit OS is better? | 21:53 |
BotchlaB | On older systems, I mean. | 21:53 |
suncokret | i ask here how will linux work if i change motherboard, and somebody told me should not be problems, and now i can say that lubuntu continued to work like i didn't change any hardware | 21:54 |
ianorlin | I would probaly work with either | 22:06 |
suncokret | so you think there is no much advantage with 64bit lubuntu>? | 22:08 |
ianorlin | it depends with a newer computer sure | 22:14 |
ianorlin | I do think it is better with more ram | 22:14 |
bioterror | some raw facts: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1404_x64&num=1 | 22:15 |
bioterror | with mp3 encoding, you could win 2 secs :D | 22:16 |
silver_m | I installed wbar but I cannot configure it. The configure button is unclickable | 22:25 |
suncokret | so i think i will not need to install 64bit, it is very little faster | 22:26 |
silver_m | the wbar is on the left of my screen vertically but I want it at the bottom of screen horizontally | 22:26 |
silver_m | and I also want to change the icons | 22:26 |
silver_m | of wbar | 22:26 |
silver_m | and put other programs than the default | 22:27 |
silver_m | anyone knows how to configure wbar? | 22:33 |
krytarik | !info wbar-config | silver_m | 22:42 |
ubottu | silver_m: wbar-config (source: wbar): GUI tool to configure wbar. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3.4-2 (vivid), package size 41 kB, installed size 231 kB | 22:42 |
silver_m | should I install wbar-config with sudo apt-get install wbar-config? | 22:43 |
krytarik | Yep. | 22:43 |
silver_m | ok thanks | 22:44 |
krytarik | As I see it, there isn't a "configure button" in the first place though. | 22:45 |
silver_m | it is | 22:45 |
silver_m | one | 22:45 |
silver_m | on top of wbar | 22:45 |
silver_m | it says confic | 22:45 |
silver_m | config | 22:45 |
silver_m | but I click it a | 22:45 |
silver_m | and | 22:45 |
silver_m | it does not working | 22:45 |
krytarik | silver_m: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on one line - easier to follow for everyone. | 22:46 |
silver_m | yes ok | 22:46 |
silver_m | I will try that gui | 22:46 |
krytarik | silver_m: It's a separate launcher. | 22:47 |
silver_m | if I use this launcher the next time I reboot, the wbar will be configured? | 22:47 |
krytarik | Well, restart wbar really, but yeah. | 22:48 |
silver_m | Wbar has a disadvantage that when I use rotating backgrounds, it keeps the old background | 22:49 |
krytarik | Heh. | 22:49 |
