[03:37] Can someone help me with an Openbox problem? [03:38] Yup [03:38] Okay, thank you. [03:38] Why openbox? [03:38] If I may ask? [03:39] Well, with some windows, when I press minimize maximize or close it won't do anything. Do I need to reinstall openbox? [03:39] Damn.. [03:39] And you just have a bare install of openbox? [03:39] Are you looking for a light gui? [03:40] Well, no, I am running Lubuntu 15.04 [03:40] And it has worked before. [03:40] Aaaa...ok [03:40] Have you run logs? [03:41] No, I rarely do, I always forget how to. [03:41] Don't we all [03:42] I can look it up if you forget too, lol. [03:42] xD [03:43] It's could be: ~/.xinitrc here [03:43] Been moons since I've used a gui [03:43] cool [03:43] ? [03:44] There you may find issue with your devices...? [03:44] Why ? [03:44] I don't have a ~/.xinitrc [03:44] Oh.. Ok [03:45] Have you run a search query? Are you in via ssh? [03:45] Yeah, sorry I am not running a normal computer, I "hacked" a chromebook [03:45] Uh... no I am in the actual OS [03:46] I can close the windows by left clicking on their icons in lxpanel and clicking close window [03:46] Open a shelll [03:46] Honestly, this sounds like device conflicts [03:47] We don't deliver too deep in graphics as most of out servers are headless.. [03:47] I mean it worked until earlier today... quite randomly actually [03:48] "we"? [03:48] We are anonymous ... [03:48] Hahha [03:48] xD [03:48] Lol, my company [03:48] Oh, ok. [03:49] Try install gnome desktop [03:49] And then? [03:49] And then see if it works!?! [03:50] I have tried other window managers but it doesn't really work. [03:50] Ok, I guess [03:51] Would you like the commands? You would need to do it in a shell [03:51] Well, do you want me to try a different DE or a completely diferent Flavour!?! [03:52] What revision of Ubuntu are you running? [03:52] 15.04 [03:52] I'm proposing retaining lubuntu, but installing gnome on too [03:53] Ok, so again, the DE of Gnome, or Dual-Boot gnome? [03:54] You should be able to dual boot without any probems.. If you are referring to the gui? We do not change anything but the interface [03:55] This "hack" is a r&d ma cin [03:55] Sorry, machine? [03:55] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop [03:55] okay [03:55] sudo service gdm restart [03:56] Then where you were referring to switching.,, [03:56] sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [03:56] Will allows you to fine tune [03:56] So, how will this fix my problem with openbox? [03:58] Process of elimination .. If you don't have any problems with gnome, then you know your "hacked chrome" isn't faulty? [03:58] Which is ease autos [03:58] Bloody auto correct [03:58] I meant to say,, the [03:59] Then at least you know your hardware is fine [03:59] Ok, well, I don't think my Chrome is faulty. [03:59] I don't know why the hardware would affect one aspect of software that pertains to a small part of other software that pertains to another software and so on and so on [04:00] Neither do I.. [04:00] But it's how I would at least eliminate possibilities [04:00] Wait did we just spend the last 10 min. talking about nothing? xD [04:01] Enjoy your chrome [04:01] well, let me try reinstalling openbox [04:02] Ok .. Bye now [04:03] Wait, did I seem like a jerk, because evertime I typed something it looked like a jerky thing to say? [04:04] whatever. Byeeeeeee [04:04] Pompous [04:41] hello everyone [04:42] I am installing lubuntu and I am stuck. It is asking for the HTTP proxy information [04:42] Not sure what to put. [04:56] I went ahead and hit continue since I have been looking this up for over 2 hours. I'll see what I can do later. If anyone has any advice I will still be around. Thanks in advance! [05:13] I need help trouble shooting sound. lubuntu 15.04 acer aspire v5 122p 0869. with alsamixer it seems like i'm close. [05:13] also installed pavucontrol and xfce4-mixer [05:16] never mind i think i got it [08:11] Who here's familiar with Old World PPC Macs? It seems the kernel and initrd.gz images from the Lubuntu disk are booting into the Ubuntu alt intaller, despite having a Lubuntu CD in. Is that to be expected? :P [08:13] i sure wish i could help you lord-ragnarock [08:15] Ahaha. Honestly, I'll be surprised if someone can. Last time I muddled w/ Linux on that mac was 2010. [08:16] And the last time that mac was used seriously was probably 2002 :/ [08:21] Well, so far the installer aint complaining. fingers crossed! :) [08:26] Hmmmm. Now I just had a weird idea. [08:28] Let's say on this Mac I have a USB card, but OS 9 (default system) doesn't recognize it. Linux, however, does upon bootup (not sure how far into the process) [08:28] With that card I have this 16GB flash drive plugged in. Is it possible I could have the kernel setroot that partition? [08:53] thats well beyond my level haha. im just starting out. [15:33] Soo, who's familiar with the ppc architecture? :) [15:45] lord-ragnarock: not me, ppc is weird, imo [15:45] :P [15:45] (armhf is interesting but lulzy) [15:46] Ahaha :P [15:48] A little fyi, the specific machine I'm installing on is a Powermac 7500 ;) [19:02] the default folders in /home/username are ones like "documents" "music" etc, but there are some like "remote" "recent" and others that aren't displayed. After editing .config/user-dirs.dirs, I still can't these folders to "show up". The reason I want them to "show up" is so I can customize the icon (well I just need one). Anyone have advice? [19:37] nm. It's in /etc/xdg. [21:46] Is there a way to restart a game in Freecell on Lubuntu? [21:47] I can't do anything but close/open again. Not being able to restart seems like a major thing missing. [21:53] which package is the freecell game [21:54] if you don't know you can use xprop WM_CLASS in a terminal to find out when you click on the window [22:06] so i installed lubuntu 15.10 thinking it was going to include lxqt [22:06] Nope. [22:06] is the team waiting until 1.0? [22:06] That'll be in 16.04 LTS, more than likely. [22:06] ok that makes sense [22:06] actually probalbly too big change for lxs [22:06] lts [22:06] gotcha [22:06] hotarun, we usually post about those things [22:07] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing [22:07] so will I run into big problems changing from lxde to lxqt on this 15.10 install [22:07] yup [22:07] "Work continues on integrating LXQt into Lubuntu, but we'll likely not see it released until 16.10 (Y cycle). If you're curious about development, check out the blueprints. " [22:07] ^ hotarun [22:07] thanks for the link [22:07] we expect having LXQt pretty stable for 16.10 [22:07] cool [22:07] So, even later than 16.04 LTS, I guess. [22:09] 15.10 is stable for me so far [22:09] yes, but LXQt is failing somewhere in 15.10 [22:10] the testing PPAs are not recommendable for daily systems at all [22:10] Yeah, I wouldn't try that on a production/desktop system that you use. [22:10] thanks for the headsup [22:10] What I do in these cases is open up a VM. [22:10] :) [22:10] And go nuts in that. [22:10] yup I'm gonna throw a VM together [22:10] I'm excited for lxqt, it's looking good [22:11] Yeah, I'm on Lubuntu too so I can understand. =P
