[00:19] <RonWhoCares> Can 'Kdenlive' be installed on Lubuntu 15.10?
[00:23] <RonWhoCares> Hi Mdxxx
[00:28] <phillw> RonWhoCares: the answer is yes
[00:29] <phillw> it will bring a lot of extra stuff it needs, but if you need it.. that is what you will have to accept.
[00:29] <RonWhoCares> ok
[00:29] <RonWhoCares> I am thinking of buying the new ' Pine 64 '
[00:29] <RonWhoCares> I * only * want to use it for video editing / rendering
[00:30] <RonWhoCares> Do you have any other suggestions?
[00:33] <RonWhoCares> I am using Ubuntu 15.10 .  Using this computer for video editing causes Firefox, Thundermail and Kdenlive to crash because of lack of resources.
[00:34] <RonWhoCares> I don't care if it is slow, just that it works.  I would not ever be using it for web browsing or send / receiving e-mails
[00:34] <phillw> RonWhoCares: what is the specification of your computer?
[00:35] <RonWhoCares> It is an HP G61.  2.0 hertz   4 gig of RAM
[00:35] <phillw> We have two routes for you to attempt... one will work for you.
[00:36] <phillw> RonWhoCares: how comfortable are you with CLI ?
[00:41] <RonWhoCares> (Sorry for the delay, I had to use the toilet)
[00:41] <RonWhoCares> Yes, I am heavily into programming.  I do use the command line from time to time
[00:41] <RonWhoCares> It is an option
[00:44] <RonWhoCares> phillw: I have only used Kdenlive for +- 2 months.
[00:44] <RonWhoCares> What makes my videos so rendering intensive is the use of captioning
[15:43] <Amitari> Hey, I need help with selecting a text editor.
[15:44] <Amitari> I've always used Kate. Kubuntu was my first distro, and Kate was bundled with it, at least back then. Even though it was a pretty long time ago since I used KDE, I still use Kate because I like it's functions and all, but it has started to act up on me a lot now, the icons never load, so I need help selecting a new text editor.
[15:45] <Amitari> I need to be able to apply word wrap to the text file I'm editing so I can keep it at 80 columns, and I also need to be able to switch encodings and line break types on the file.
[16:02] <phillw> Amitari: there are many text editors to use.
[16:03] <Amitari> I know.
[16:03] <Amitari> But none of the other ones I've tried have the functions I need
[16:03] <phillw> for geeks, there is vim (an enhanced vi) ... It will do everything you need, but you have to learn a new language (klingon is the nearest I've found to it)
[16:04] <Amitari> Uh, I meant a graphical text editor.
[16:05] <Amitari> I only use the terminal for batch-stuff and going on BBSs.
[16:05] <Amitari> And for some other text-based software.
[16:06] <Amitari> I browsed the web with Lynx for a week once when I had messed up the graphical interface.
[16:06] <phillw> https://www.learnenough.com/text-editor-tutorial
[16:07] <phillw> you want 80 column limit, you're going to have roll your sleeves up.
[16:08] <phillw> I have read the start of it, and my head hurted!... But, it goes through all the options... (I use nano, but can use vim when needed)
[16:09] <Amitari> Kate has all the functions I need, but it has started to act up on me, and I didn't manage to fix it.
[16:09] <Amitari> Kate is graphical.
[16:09] <Amitari> There must be some other graphical text editor that has those functions.
[16:10] <Amitari> Kate has an option "apply word wrap" that can be used to reformat the text so that no line goes beyond 80 characters.
[16:22] <Amitari> Are you sure there isn't another graphical editor with that function?
[16:40] <Amitari> The editor Geany can do pretty much everything I want except applying word wrap to the file.
[16:47] <Amitari> I just found the editor SciTE, it has the functions I want, but you have to set the options manually in a text file, which is really unusual for an otherwise graphical program.
[16:47] <Amitari> It's really hard since the options are pretty obscure.
[16:47] <phillw> Amitari: all links that require 80 chars point to CLI. This is reasonable as who would want GUI word processing system that limited you 80 characters per line? I'd suggest using something libre write such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpLz91-l-8k
[16:48] <phillw> That way you can edit the page layout
[16:48] <Amitari> Kate has the function "apply word wrap", that makes the text wrap around so the lines don't exceed 80 characters.
[16:48] <Amitari> LibreOffice Write is not a plain-text editor.
[16:49] <phillw> Amitari: it is if you choose to save the document as such.
[16:49] <Amitari> Gosh, just no...
[16:49] <phillw> "Save As" <> "Save"
[19:40] <django_> hey all
[19:40] <django_> id like to be able to hit print screen and have a screen shot
[19:41] <ianorlin> django_: which version of lubuntu? It saves a screenshot in the home folder with print screen
[19:41] <django_> ahh cool
[19:41] <django_> ianorlin, ty
[19:42] <ianorlin> I remember some problems with 14.04 though
[20:34] <tonnyv> It's driving me nuts.... can seem to customise my openbox menu :(
[20:34] <tonnyv>    ps -aux|grep openbox
[20:34] <tonnyv> shows me
[20:34] <tonnyv>   openbox --config-file /home/<user>/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
[20:34] <tonnyv> but whatever i change in the xml, nothing in the menu changes after
[20:34] <tonnyv> openbox-session --reconfigure (or after logout/login)
[20:35] <phillw> Drone`: how are you?
[20:36] <tonnyv> It's driving me nuts.... can seem to customise my openbox menu :( "ps -aux|grep openbox"shows me  "openbox --config-file /home/<user>/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml" but whatever i change in the xml, nothing in the menu changes after "openbox-session --reconfigure" (or after logout/login) any suggestions ??
[20:38] <phillw> tonnyv: ahh, lubuntu shifts its config files.... Maddens me! Post up the version you are running and wait for someone like wxl to let you know where the config file is.
[20:39] <ianorlin> tonnyv: are you still using the right click menu for pcmanfm for the desktop?
[20:40] <ianorlin> sorry stupid question but it can be a derp one
[20:40] <tonnyv> yeah, still do
[20:41] <ianorlin> ah the menu in that config file is the menu for  the openbox right click on desktop menu
[20:41] <ianorlin> which that replaces
[20:41] <ianorlin> not the menu in the panel
[20:42] <tonnyv> thnx, i'look that way
