| OpenSorce | Is there a good working weather plugin for the lxpanel or system tray? The one that comes with it won't let me set a location. | 00:26 |

| Ascavasaion | Hello there. I just started my laptop, and it has resorted to UK keyboard when in fact it is a US keyboard. I rebooted it, and checked in preferences/language support (lubuntu) and it says it is set as US keyboard. Could someone please advise me. | 14:45 |
| damascene | Ascavasaion, check with this setxkbmap -print | 14:51 |

| Ascavasaion | damascene: What exactly does that tell me? | 15:00 |
| damascene | the current keymap | 15:00 |
| Ascavasaion | Can I cut and paste it here? Seeing as it is quiet? | 15:03 |
| Ascavasaion | Or should I do a pastebin rather? | 15:03 |
| damascene | pastepin, like fpaste.org maybe ☺ | 15:03 |
| damascene | did you find uk or us there? | 15:04 |
| Ascavasaion | http://pastebin.com/7btu224Z | 15:05 |
| Ascavasaion | us+gb | 15:05 |
| damascene | you can remove the gb by setxkbmap "us" | 15:06 |
| damascene | you might want to add that to your ~/.bashrc | 15:06 |
| Ascavasaion | Perfect! | 15:07 |
| Ascavasaion | thank you so so much | 15:07 |
| Ascavasaion | Oh | 15:07 |
| Ascavasaion | this ought to be fun then hehehe | 15:08 |
| damascene | I think there maybe a better place to set it if you want it system wide and on login, but I'm not sure where, I just use it like this | 15:08 |
| Ascavasaion | I wonder what happened to make to go all wonky like this in the first place. | 15:08 |
| damascene | You can wait her for more advance users to find answers | 15:09 |
| Ascavasaion | So I can just put setxkbmap "us" at the very end of the .bashrc file and when I reboot into this user it will automatically run it? | 15:10 |
| damascene | I think so, yes | 15:10 |
| damascene | I've similar one in my file but for multiple languages | 15:11 |
| damascene | multiple layouts | 15:11 |
| Ascavasaion | I just needthe keyboard changed... language for spellcheck, etc I need is UK English | 15:11 |
| Ascavasaion | and that command makes everything work perfectly. | 15:12 |
| Ascavasaion | going to reboot and check. | 15:13 |
| james1138 | Good monring all. | 15:14 |
| redwolf | good morning, james1138 \o/ | 15:14 |
| james1138 | "morning"... sorry | 15:14 |
| Ascavasaion | damascene: It works perfectly as is. No need for the "more advanced users". Much appreciated. | 15:19 |
| damascene | yw | 15:19 |
| Ascavasaion | South Africa here... hence the US keyboard, and UK English. | 15:21 |
| damascene | yeah, diverse culture already there ☺ | 15:22 |
| james1138 | Question related to Lexmark multifunction printers. I have a Lexmark x9575 that works great with windows (winDUH) systems. I try to install the windows xp driver using Wine but each time it gets to the end of the install... it stops and uninstalls. Any ideas or suggestions. I am using Lubuntu 14.04.03 with 4.4 kernal. | 15:23 |
| redwolf | installing windows print drivers is not a good idea. Linux can't use those | 15:25 |
| Quantos | Why aren't you using CUPS? | 15:25 |
| redwolf | you should check the Lexmark support: http://support.lexmark.com/index?pmv=print&page=content&productCode=&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_UK&id=RE108 | 15:25 |
| redwolf | I'm sure there's a legal Lexmark driver for Linux in their website | 15:26 |
| Quantos | Is CUPS not what's used anymore? | 15:28 |
| Quantos | I haven't printed anything in about 20 years | 15:29 |
| redwolf | yes, CUPS is just the server that connects the PPDs for printing | 15:29 |
| Quantos | Ah | 15:29 |
| redwolf | every printer "driver" is a collection of PPD instructions | 15:29 |
| Quantos | It's been a while indeed | 15:29 |
| redwolf | but brands like HP, Canon, etc. have prepared Linux packages | 15:30 |
| Quantos | It's about time | 15:30 |
| redwolf | for example, the hplip tool can configure EVERY hp printer with ease, even via wifi, for scanning, faxing and printing. | 15:30 |
| redwolf | just a CUPS front-end. it's, so, the only way to install printers in *buntu | 15:31 |
| james1138 | Sorry all. Stepped away. But I am back and finished reading reply about Lexmark | 15:40 |
| redwolf | and? went fine? | 15:41 |
| james1138 | Anyone know of a source/website for Lexmark PPD? | 15:41 |
| redwolf | have you tried the Printers applet? | 15:42 |
| redwolf | how is the printer connected? | 15:42 |
| james1138 | Printer is on local/home network Redwolf | 15:43 |
| redwolf | what says the Lubuntu printer installer? | 15:43 |
| redwolf | if the normal setup fails, read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkPrinters | 15:44 |
| james1138 | Just PDF on printer | 15:47 |
| redwolf | james1138, you should see the connected printer. expand this: http://i19.servimg.com/u/f19/12/97/34/48/printe10.jpg | 16:00 |
| redwolf | if not, use that link | 16:00 |
