[01:49] how to suspend from command line? [01:51] pm-suspend but it has some wierd quirks to work out [01:52] dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Suspend boolean:true ? :P === IdleOne is now known as Guest96327 [11:45] Question about the application launch bar: I want to add recently installed apps, but they don't show up in the list. How can I fix this? === Guest96327 is now known as IdleOne [17:51] hi I have a question about plank [17:52] I removed the anchor icon in plank [17:52] but now I cannot set plank to be transparent background [17:52] how can I do this? [18:20] silver_m: "~/.config/plank/dock1/settings" [18:22] (Set "Theme" to "Transparent".) [18:29] My theme is set to transparent however it is gray and not transparent [18:30] silver_m, are you using compisting? [18:31] I use compton [18:31] hmm I do not know [18:32] what should run first? compton or plank? [18:32] I can disable compton and plank [18:33] and run with the correct order [18:33] but I dont know what must run first [18:43] plank is some like dock? First compton, after 15-20 second plank [18:43] yes plank is a dock [18:43] i use cairo-dock + xcompmgr [19:25] I use lubuntu generic 3.18.0-13 and it does not make reboot or shutdown [19:25] I click reboot and does nothing [19:58] which lubuntu version should I install to intel atom? [20:04] I think 15.04 runs ok [20:04] however there is a grub at startup and confuses me I dont want it [20:04] silver_m, I think you install to a hard drive or ssd not on the cpu itself [20:05] can I remove grub from startup? [20:07] grub is the bootloader that you need to boot lubuntu most of the time [20:08] yes but [20:08] when It opens [20:08] it says ubuntu [20:08] I click it [20:08] and says error [20:08] then I move a selection down [20:08] and click it [20:08] and boots ok [20:09] now my pc is stuck because of grub [20:09] and needs reboot from button [20:10] I did a hard boot [20:10] now grub says [20:10] Ubuntu with linux 3.18.0-13 generic [20:11] Ubuntu with linux 3.18.0-13 systemd [20:11] if I choose generic pc is halted, if i choose system id pc boots ok [20:11] silver_m, which version of lubuntu is this? [20:11] systemd not system id [20:11] 15.04 [20:12] boot it and updates [20:12] 15.04 should default to systemd by default after a few changes [20:12] it says starting 219 version [20:12] I think that only happened if you ran an early development release of 15.04 before the switch from upstart to systemd [20:13] and what should I do to stop appear grub and choose upstart instead of systemd? [20:13] I cannot reboot properly [20:13] it starts grub [20:13] and causes problem [20:14] I did all updates and upgrades [20:15] can I configure grub to run automatically systemd ? [20:18] 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? [20:24] this is insane [20:24] every time I reboot [20:24] my pc becomes dark [20:24] then I push on/off and pc closes then I push on/off an pc starts grub2 [20:25] and then I choose advanced ubuntu option [20:25] and then I choose lubuntu systemd [20:25] and then pc boots [20:25] anyone can help? [20:25] silver_m: Make sure "linux-generic" is installed. [20:25] how to install this [20:27] sudo apt-get install linux-generic ?? [20:27] Yep. [20:28] ok it installs it now [20:29] it is newer version it says 3.19.0-25 [20:29] I used old version 3.18.0-13 [20:30] after new version should I do a reboot again or should I install anything more? [20:32] I have another question, if I install unity-tweak-tool in lubuntu, will pc have any improvements? or it is only for ubuntu? [20:36] 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] very inconvenient [20:37] can I make grub2 to run automatically systemd in reboot? [20:38] the funny thing is that a quarter ago there was not any grub2 in my pc reboot [20:38] but suddently appeared this option [20:39] can I configure grub 2? [20:44] ok I du some updates maybe it fixes it [20:46] 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. [20:47] and it was doing that for many days? or suddenty? [20:48] i just installed. it worked fine until I rebooted [20:48] decafdoughnut: does clicking mouse do anything? [20:48] nope [20:48] Yes my pc has problem in reboot too [20:48] I did some updates [20:49] but I can't get in to anything at all [20:50] 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 [20:52] another question, can I configure dropbox not appear on startup? [21:00] ok my pc is fixed I installed linux-generic and did updates so grub2 dissappeared [21:00] and my pc boots ok [21:01] thanks for help [21:04] well now I have to solve the issue of transparent plank [21:08] well ubuntu one is now working or stopped? [21:18] lubuntu is good when you get it to work but until you get it to work it is very annoying [21:22] silver_m, I don't think it's /that/ bad, tbh [21:23] Yeah, I needed to tinker some stuff, like turn off ibus so that gedit wouldn't consume 100% CPU. [21:23] But they were mostly minor things. [21:25] BotchlaB I have a problem with compton and plank [21:25] I want to run together so the plank has transparent background [21:25] Wait. What exactly are compton and plank? I'm curious since these seem to be physics terms. :) [21:25] have you tried wbar? [21:25] it used to do transparency without needing comp like that [21:25] but the plank has not transparent background it has gray [21:26] adding compositing may be more than just a trivial thing with lubuntu... and it may make it unstable, or, "heavy" [21:26] what is wbar [21:26] !info wbar [21:26] 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] wbar is like plank? [21:26] its a plank like item that has transparency, as i said, simpler.. and lighter, as well [21:26] ok I will try it [21:26] its more appropriate, i think, for lxde.. [21:27] 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] BotchlaB compton is a window manager, and plank is a dock app like docky [21:27] right [21:27] I see. [21:28] compton *may* supply what you need, for transparency support in plank [21:29] well i run both compton and plank but I removed the anchor icon of plank and there is no transparency [21:29] silver_m: you can use the config file, mentioned before.. otherwise, test that you have compositing [21:29] I dont know how to bring back the anchor icon [21:29] just installing compton dosent do the trick.. [21:29] you dont need the anchor icon, but, you can always simply reset the config file, and go back to a default setup [21:30] with the anchor.. and all other defaults [21:30] yeah I mean only if you have a recent one is it worth it [21:31] Botchlab are you a physician? [21:31] ...No? lol [21:31] in google if I type plank it shows max planck [21:31] OHH. [21:31] You mean *physicist*. [21:31] Physician = doctor. [21:32] yes [21:32] you dont need to delete the config file, you can just rename it.. and have it as a backup [21:32] !ot [21:32] #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] we have #lubuntu-offtopic as well :) [21:38] holstein if I install wbar should I remove compton? [21:39] silver_m: there really wont be a "should" scneario.. if you dont need compositing, i wouldnt use compton.. [21:39] I installed compton only because I wanted to run plank [21:42] 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? [21:43] i use 32bit lubuntu, what will be faster if i install 64bit? [21:44] suncokret: what kind of processor and how much ram? [21:44] intel core 2 duo e8400 and 2Gb ram [21:45] 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.. [21:46] ah I run 64 bit on my core 2 duo with 4 GB ram [21:46] 2 might or might not be worth it [21:48] 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] so i don't know if i install 64 bit, how much faster it will be than 32bit [21:49] I don't think much [21:49] although if you run many browser tabs it oculd start running out of ram [21:50] tell me this, for example if on lubuntu 32bit firefox use 100MB ram, will on lubuntu 64bit firefox use 200MB? [21:52] not double but some more [21:53] I see, so even on amd64-compatible systems, to use less resources, 32-bit OS is better? [21:53] On older systems, I mean. [21:54] 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 [22:06] I would probaly work with either [22:08] so you think there is no much advantage with 64bit lubuntu>? [22:14] it depends with a newer computer sure [22:14] I do think it is better with more ram [22:15] some raw facts: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1404_x64&num=1 [22:16] with mp3 encoding, you could win 2 secs :D [22:25] I installed wbar but I cannot configure it. The configure button is unclickable [22:26] so i think i will not need to install 64bit, it is very little faster [22:26] the wbar is on the left of my screen vertically but I want it at the bottom of screen horizontally [22:26] and I also want to change the icons [22:26] of wbar [22:27] and put other programs than the default [22:33] anyone knows how to configure wbar? [22:42] !info wbar-config | silver_m [22:42] 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 [22:43] should I install wbar-config with sudo apt-get install wbar-config? [22:43] Yep. [22:44] ok thanks [22:45] As I see it, there isn't a "configure button" in the first place though. [22:45] it is [22:45] one [22:45] on top of wbar [22:45] it says confic [22:45] config [22:45] but I click it a [22:45] and [22:45] it does not working [22:46] silver_m: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on one line - easier to follow for everyone. [22:46] yes ok [22:46] I will try that gui [22:47] silver_m: It's a separate launcher. [22:47] if I use this launcher the next time I reboot, the wbar will be configured? [22:48] Well, restart wbar really, but yeah. [22:49] Wbar has a disadvantage that when I use rotating backgrounds, it keeps the old background [22:49] Heh.
