[00:46] <NewMC> hi all, please confirm rm -r command would permanently remove directories?
[00:46] <genii> That's correct
[00:48] <NewMC> so /media/name (where name is user account) should only remove directories recursively under and including that directory?  Or is it more robust than what I'm thinking.
[00:48] <NewMC> sorry: sudo rm -r /media/name
[00:49] <iynque>  /media/name and everything inside it would be deleted, yes.
[00:49] <ianorlin> NewMC: yes but keep in mind you will want to know who has it mounted that media
[00:50] <NewMC> here's what I have, Android system with /data/linuxroot where I unpacked Lubuntu14.04 .tar image
[00:51] <NewMC> i flashed linux kernel in system recovery and booted to Lubuntu without issue, everything was working except it was not reading microSD
[00:53] <NewMC> this was supposed to be a known issue within the Ubuntu image and instructions to fix were sudo rm -r /media/tf101 (tf101 is the device but also user account that existed on image)
[00:54] <NewMC> this wiped my microSD and also did something within Android system
[00:55] <NewMC> I'm trying to figure out why it went beyond /media/tf101
[01:11] <NewMC> thanks for answering my questions, have a good night.
[01:20] <genii> The first possibility that comes to mind is that things underneath of that directory were symlinked someplace else in the filesystem
[01:27] <iynque> rm -r shouldn’t ever ollow symlinks… AFAIK
[01:27] <iynque> follow*
[06:17] <jarnos> Someone is happy with Lubuntu's video playback. Vsync works apparently. http://askubuntu.com/a/647350/21005

[09:27] <pitiye> can any one teach me how to increase screen brightness in Lubuntu 15.04 ?
[09:30] <leszek> pitiye: aren't the proper media keys on the keyboard working for you ?
[09:30] <pitiye> leszek:  no
[09:31] <leszek> pitiye: there is a way to do this, if the driver and display support it via terminal and the xrandr command
[09:31] <leszek> pitiye: can you execute xrandr -q | grep -i "connected" to see the name of your connected output
[09:32] <leszek> it should be something like: "LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm" the output name is then LVDS1 in this example
[09:32] <leszek> then you can put that output in the following command
[09:32] <leszek> xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness 0.1337
[09:33] <leszek> adapt output to your devices output and brightness to the brightness you want
[09:33] <leszek> brightness range is from 0 to 1
[09:34] <pitiye>  xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness 1.0
[09:34] <pitiye> i used this
[09:34] <leszek> did it work ?
[09:35] <pitiye> but still not bright as earlier
[09:35] <leszek> then maybe the brightness control is not detected at all by the kernel
[09:35] <leszek> do you have a file  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness ?
[09:35] <pitiye> leszek:  do i have to reinstall vga drivers ?
[09:36] <leszek> pitiye: do you have any proprietary installed ?
[09:36] <leszek> or why reinstall ?
[09:36] <pitiye> leszek: this is dual vga with intel and nvidia cards
[09:36] <pitiye> right now only intel is used
[09:37] <leszek> ah the nightmare and the reason why linus torvalds gave nvidia the middle finger :P
[09:37] <pitiye> :))))
[09:37] <leszek> do you have nvidia card disabled in the bios then when only intel is in use ?
[09:38] <pitiye> leszek:  no its not disabled
[09:38] <pitiye> i will disable it and let u know
[09:38] <pitiye> brb

[18:06] <undecim> When I hit my calculator button, I get logged out. What gives?
[18:07] <undecim> It's on a compaq laptop... The calculator button is right next to the left Ctrl on an extra column... And it takes me straight to the login screen whenever I breath on it
[18:32] <DWSR> Hey all, I want to remove lubuntu-desktop and all packages it depends on.
[18:51] <genii> DWSR: Remove the metapackage, then use sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
[18:52] <DWSR> genii: Removes nothing. I have removed both lubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-core
[19:15] <ianorlin> undecim: I think that is a bug in 14.04
[19:16] <ianorlin> if you change ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml to not launch lxsession-defualt calculator and launch glaculator it will work around it
[19:24] <genii> DWSR: Alternately, but perhaps somewhat dangerous: sudo apt-get remove $(apt-cache depends lubuntu-desktop | grep "Depends" |cut -d' ' -f4 )
[19:34] <DWSR> Do I need to reboot after that?
[19:40] <genii> I'd recommend it, yes
[19:57] <DWSR> It took quite a while to turn off, holy.
