| Garrie | Hi. Just installed lubuntu, and it does this stupid thing where if you moove the mouse to the top the taskbar disappears and the whole screen moves up. | 18:51 |
| Garrie | And then you move the mouse down again and it moves the screen down so you can see the taskbar. | 18:51 |
| Garrie | This is on a small netbook, but I have absolutely no desire for this feature. How do I disable it? I'vel ooked everywhere. | 18:51 |
| bioterror | amiga kind of reature | 18:52 |
| bioterror | you have so small screen that it virtually stretches it and you can scroll around | 18:52 |
| wxl | Garrie: that's the default way to switch virtual desktops, as i remember correctly. ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu.xml should have the configuration in it. you can just delete the surrounding tags. | 18:52 |
| bioterror | lower your resolution | 18:52 |
| wxl | oh wait | 18:52 |
| wxl | no that is a different thing | 18:52 |
| wxl | sorry, i read it wrong | 18:53 |
| wxl | listen to bioterror not me | 18:53 |
| Garrie | Thanks. | 18:53 |
| Garrie | There's a real lack of consistency across distros with what works and what doesn't out of the box and it is so frustrating. Just installed Lubuntu and ALREADY it didn't detect my resolution by default, doesn't seem to have drivers for graphics installed (standard intel graphics on motherboard), and didn't even boot without going into recovery mode. | 18:54 |
| bioterror | netbooks are kinda PITA | 18:55 |
| bioterror | I have one, I have no idea what to do with | 18:55 |
| swift110 | hmm | 18:57 |
| Garrie | Why though? I have a terrible time anytime I install linux on my desktop, but that thing has lots of harddrives, lots of different components from different companies, etc, and needs a lot of proprietry drivers. But for a dell netbook with no external graphics or any other fancy shit to speak of, and an atom processor and chipset that has been in circulation for years... why are there any issues at all? | 18:59 |
| Garrie | Had Xubuntu on it before and it was flawless. | 19:00 |
| genii | I have an old 2011-ish Aspire One D260 with 64 bit atom. I maxed the ram at 2G, put in a 120G SSD and run Kubuntu on it fine with plasma-netbook desktop | 19:02 |
| genii | ( X86_64 ) | 19:03 |
| bioterror | 64bit with 2GB of RAM :G | 19:03 |
| swift110 | lol | 19:03 |
| genii | It's a good little machine to take onsite for things like plugging into console ports of switches and routers, etc | 19:04 |
| genii | ( with USB-DB9 adapter) | 19:04 |
| swift110 | cool | 19:05 |
| swift110 | can someone help me to set the time to 12 hour clock | 19:15 |
| Jakey3 | hi | 19:32 |
| Jakey3 | I have a lubuntu vbox on a lubuntu host | 19:32 |
| Jakey3 | I get 2 vbox tabs in the task bar | 19:32 |
| Jakey3 | for 1 vbox os | 19:33 |
| Jakey3 | ? | 19:33 |
| wxl | Jakey3: i assume you have the virtualbox program open, as well as the actual virtual machine open? | 19:38 |
| Jakey3 | wxl: excluding the virtualbox program | 19:39 |
| Jakey3 | http://imgur.com/no3sGv8 | 19:39 |
| Jakey3 | on one virtual os running | 19:40 |
| Jakey3 | *only | 19:40 |
| Jakey3 | when I press alt + tab only shows one program? | 19:43 |
| Jakey3 | this did not occur on 14.04 | 19:45 |
| wxl | Jakey3: did you open them both up? | 19:57 |
| swift110 | can someone tel me how to change my time to 12 hour clock | 19:59 |
| wxl | swift110: right click on the widget. should give you the open to toggle between. | 20:01 |
| wxl | swift110: or you can just change the format per strftime | 20:01 |
| wxl | swift110: man strftime will explain all the % codes | 20:01 |
| jakey3 | looks like its a vbox bug https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69908#p334982 | 20:02 |
| wxl | jakey3: my honest advice as an everyday vbox user is to use the upstream repo. | 20:02 |
| swift110 | what us that wxl | 20:02 |
| wxl | swift110: it's the format used for the string shown in the dialog | 20:03 |
| jakey3 | wxl: ok thanks for info | 20:06 |
| swift110 | ok that tells me nithing | 20:07 |
| swift110 | it shouldnt be this hard to change the time | 20:07 |
| wxl | well, it is | 20:08 |
| wxl | hahahha here someone responds in the same way with "that easy? cool." http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1900448 | 20:09 |
| wxl | here's the official docs on the subject https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/CustomizingTheClock | 20:10 |
| swift110 | ok | 20:11 |
| wxl | more or less, they all suggest the same thing | 20:12 |
| swift110 | i tried that and ended up making it say 1:05 all the time | 20:12 |
| daniele_ | hi | 20:13 |
| daniele_ | i need help with nautilus | 20:13 |
| daniele_ | I got error No GSettings schemas are installed on the system | 20:13 |
| jakey3 | wxl: hi i have a newb question | 20:13 |
| daniele_ | is that the right place to ask? | 20:13 |
| jakey3 | i have unistalled the vbox the software center | 20:14 |
| wxl | daniele_: nautilus is not the standard file manager in lubuntu. as such, i'm not sure you'll find a lot of people trying to use it in lubuntu. | 20:14 |
| jakey3 | i downloaded the latest vbox from the website | 20:14 |
| jakey3 | but it still shows the conflict when i try to install on .deb installer | 20:14 |
| jakey3 | ? | 20:14 |
| wxl | jakey3: which one? | 20:14 |
| jakey3 | http://imgur.com/9gxF6Kg | 20:15 |
| daniele_ | ok thanks | 20:15 |
| daniele_ | but where can I ask? | 20:15 |
| jakey3 | wxl: does the software center not properly remove packages | 20:15 |
| daniele_ | somehow my school ip got banned from ubuntu channel can anyone help me get unbanned? | 20:15 |
| wxl | daniele_: you might try #ubuntu, as it's the standard file manager there. | 20:16 |
| wxl | daniele_: try asking in #ubuntu-ops | 20:16 |
| daniele_ | thanks | 20:17 |
| wxl | jakey3: it should. but you can try on the commandline with `sudo apt purge virtualbox-*` which will remove all virtualbox packages | 20:17 |
| wxl | np daniele_ | 20:17 |
| jakey3 | wxl: solved it | 20:17 |
| wxl | jakey3: great :) | 20:17 |
| jakey3 | wxl: with sudo apt-get autoremove | 20:17 |
| jakey3 | software centter doesnt seem to remove the packages completely | 20:18 |
| wxl | jakey3: one (minor) downfall to using the upstream repos is that the guest additions and extension pack are not in separate packages, so you'll have to open the main virtualbox interface every now and then to see if they need to be updated | 20:18 |
| jakey3 | thanks for the info | 20:18 |
| jakey3 | wxl: i get this error now | 20:25 |
| jakey3 | http://imgur.com/nRcmBar | 20:25 |
| wxl | jakey3: oh yeah you didn't read the instructions. adding dkms is a suggested prerequesite. why they don't include that in the package, i don't know. | 20:26 |
| jakey3 | can i install it latterly | 20:27 |
| jakey3 | or has to be installed before vbox is installed | 20:27 |
| wxl | jakey3: not sure. i'd try it. if it doesn't work, you can then do `sudo apt -y --reinstall install virtualbox-5.0` | 20:28 |
| jakey3 | wxl: do you mind explaining to me what dkms does in layman terms | 20:33 |
| jakey3 | ive looked at wikipedia however im none the wiser | 20:34 |
| swift110 | wxl this makes no sense | 20:39 |
| wxl | swift110: which part don't you understand? | 21:08 |
| swift110 | any of it | 21:09 |
| swift110 | it skips steps and i hate that | 21:09 |
| wxl | basically you right click on the icon | 21:09 |
| wxl | and go to settings | 21:09 |
| wxl | and then you change the string to your liking | 21:09 |
| swift110 | i did thhat it diesnt work | 21:10 |
| swift110 | i put in the time and it never changes | 21:10 |
| wxl | you don't put in the time | 21:10 |
| wxl | you put in the right string | 21:10 |
| wxl | for example if you want the clock to only show you 12 hour time, not zero padded, with an am/pm designation, you would do: %l:%M%P | 21:11 |
| wxl | assuming you wanted a colon between the hour and minute | 21:12 |
| wxl | again, if you read the man page for strftime, it shows you every single one of the variables | 21:12 |
| wxl | if you put in, say: 2:19pm, then that's all it will ever show | 21:13 |
| wxl | it will show whatever you put in but it will fill in the variables | 21:13 |
| wxl | if no variables are specified, the display will not vary | 21:13 |
| swift110 | it shows the variables but its hard to make sense of al that | 21:20 |
| swift110 | do i leave in the % as well? | 21:20 |
| wxl | yes absolutely. that indicates the variable | 21:21 |
| swift110 | ok | 21:21 |
| wxl | if you put %l it will display the hour in its place. if you put l, it will display l. | 21:21 |
| swift110 | its only displaying %P | 21:22 |
| wxl | what exact string do you have in there? | 21:22 |
| swift110 | %5:%21%P | 21:22 |
| wxl | yeah well 5 and 21 are not the variables | 21:23 |
| swift110 | i thought i replace the letters | 21:23 |
| wxl | you want to use %l for hour and %M for minute | 21:23 |
| wxl | no, the program will replace it for you | 21:23 |
| swift110 | oh ok | 21:23 |
| swift110 | this is really not working | 21:27 |
| wxl | just put in exactly this: %l:%M%P | 21:28 |
| swift110 | where do i put the numbers | 21:28 |
| wxl | you don't | 21:28 |
| swift110 | oh no wonder | 21:28 |
| wxl | that's what i've been trying to explain :) | 21:29 |
| swift110 | now you see why i didnt get the other instructions | 21:29 |
| wxl | the program reads "%l" and says, "oh, i need to replace those characters with the digit representing the hour" | 21:29 |
| wxl | such is the nature of variables | 21:29 |
| swift110 | oh | 21:32 |
| swift110 | thanks | 21:32 |
