Jbmorris289Hello again00:52
Jbmorris289forgot that my client was connected yesterday00:52
fastlorisCan you customize LXDE with Docky and GTK themes like you can XFCE?01:02
Jbmorris289Some questions with lubuntu, similar to fastloris's01:17
Jbmorris289one of them01:17
Jbmorris289Can you....customize lubuntu, the taskbars, to be like Ubuntu's01:18
Unit193fastloris: 'lxappearance' makes it easy to change GTK themes, yes.  Openbox is the Window manager, you change that theme separately.01:18
Jbmorris289?01:18
fastlorisUnit193: so I can make it a bit more modern with Numix and Docky etc?01:19
Unit193fastloris: Never used docky but don't see why not.  And of course you can change the gtk/icon themes.01:19
fastlorisso the GTK themes that normall change the windows manager too won't work?01:19
Jbmorris289...Taskbar on the bottom*01:19
fastlorisor you just mean the setting is different than lxappearance01:19
Unit193fastloris: It's another module in lxappearance, but has to have Openbox theme support (Numix does, btw.)01:20
fastlorislike in Xubuntu there is a separate tool to change windows manager but when you install a theme to usr/share/themes it still populates the windows manager tool01:20
fastlorisah ok thanks01:20
Jbmorris289one on bottom, one on top?01:20
fastlorisSo I am looking for lighter than Xubuntu...does Lubuntu offer much savings in overhead?01:21
Jbmorris289well scratch my correction01:21
fastlorisif I just put LXDE on this Xubuntu install will it be the same or still quite heavier?01:21
Unit193LXDE/Lubuntu is a little more lightweight, sure.  All depends on what you use though.01:21
Jbmorris289fastloris, Lubuntu uses less resources than Xubuntu, yes01:21
Unit193!info lxpanel-plugin-topmenu01:21
ubottulxpanel-plugin-topmenu (source: topmenu-gtk): Topmenu plugin for the LXDE. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.2.1+git20151210.8c6108f-3 (xenial), package size 4 kB, installed size 25 kB01:21
Jbmorris289Unit193, nice bo01:22
Jbmorris289t01:22
Jbmorris289bot01:22
Unit193Not really sure if that does what you want, but maybe worth looking into, Jbmorris289.01:22
Jbmorris289Unit193, i hope i phrased my question well01:23
Jbmorris289DOesn't look like i did01:23
Jbmorris289and ok01:23
Jbmorris289Doesn't*01:23
fastloristhanks...is LXDE on Xubuntu as light as Lubuntu or close to it or does it just pile on more?01:23
Jbmorris289but, not and01:25
ianorlinLXD on xubuntu is pretty pointless01:25
ianorlinLXDE01:25
Jbmorris289One more question....... Do you know UNetbootin?01:25
Jbmorris289if so...01:26
Jbmorris289Would it work if01:26
Jbmorris289I used unetbootin to write the lubuntu ISO, boot from it in windows menu, and fresh install from there?01:27
ianorlinI don't use unetbootin01:27
Jbmorris289or do i use a usb01:27
Jbmorris289oh01:27
Jbmorris289:C01:27
ianorlinI mainly just use a usb01:27
ianorlincreated with dd01:27
Jbmorris289whats dd?01:30
Jbmorris289sounds familiar01:30
ianorlina really dangerous command if you put it on the wrong disk01:31
ianorlin!dd01:31
Jbmorris289hmmmmm01:31
ianorlinbut would just put the iso file on the usb01:31
Jbmorris289ill probably use unetbootin... it also supports usb drives too01:33
Jbmorris289and what maks this dd command dangerous?01:33
Jbmorris289Formatting?01:33
Jbmorris289(when putting on the wrong disk)01:33
Jbmorris289it*01:33
ianorlincould overwrite all partitoins on thge disk01:33
Jbmorris289ah01:33
Jbmorris289I was thinking similar01:34
Jbmorris289Writing mbr code01:34
Jbmorris289thus01:34
Jbmorris289probably messing up your normal boot operations01:34
ianorlinyes01:35
Jbmorris289PenDriveLinux that could also be dangerous if you enable the 'Show All drives' option01:35
ianorlinI have a way of running lsblk before01:35
ianorlinso I know what drive I am nuking from orbit first01:36
Jbmorris289hm01:38
Jbmorris289another question01:41
Jbmorris289when was the first lubuntu version made01:41
ianorlinoffical or unofical01:41
ianorlinFirst offical release was 11.1001:41
Jbmorris28911.0001:42
Jbmorris289oops01:42
Jbmorris2891001:42
Jbmorris289how about unofficial?01:42
ianorlinI don't know01:43
Jbmorris289hmm01:43
Jbmorris289well01:43
Jbmorris289ill look it up...01:43
Jbmorris289wikipedia01:44
Jbmorris289says01:44
Jbmorris289"The LXDE desktop was first made available for Ubuntu in October 2008, with the release of Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. These early versions of Lubuntu, including 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10, were not available as separate ISO image downloads, and could only be installed on Ubuntu as separate lubuntu-desktop packages from the Ubuntu repositories."01:44
Jbmorris2898.10...01:45
ianorlinthose were not an offical flavor01:46
SonikkuAmericaLong time again, 8.10 was01:46
SonikkuAmerica*ago01:46
SonikkuAmericabut yeah, 11.10 was the first official release, ISO and all01:46
SonikkuAmericaWe're also one of 2 flavours to support a PowerPC image.01:47
Jbmorris289ah01:48
Jbmorris289Can't wait to install lubuntu01:49
Jbmorris289on this netbook...01:49
Jbmorris289To become secure01:49
Jbmorris289and a linux user01:49
Jbmorris289well more of01:49
Jbmorris289It currently has the unsupported Windows XP01:50
Jbmorris289which now has unpatched flaws01:50
Jbmorris289that maybe some hackers plan to exploit anytime01:50
Jbmorris289Anyone here know:01:52
Jbmorris289'CompizConfig'01:52
Jbmorris289??01:52
Jbmorris289does that work in lubuntu?01:52
ianorlinJbmorris289, compiz is no where near lightweight I use the default openbox in lubuntu01:53
ianorlinit can but using compiz as the backend window manager in lubuntu would make it heavy01:53
Jbmorris289hm01:54
Jbmorris289wonder how much ram01:54
Jbmorris289compiz woouls take01:54
Jbmorris289...01:54
Jbmorris289horrible typo.01:54
Jbmorris289Would*01:54
SonikkuAmericaI recommend at least 512 MB to get you by, 1 GB for smooth operation01:54
Jbmorris289well01:54
Jbmorris289this netbook has01:54
SonikkuAmerica!enter01:55
Jbmorris289998 MB01:55
SonikkuAmerica!ENTER01:55
Jbmorris289pff01:55
SonikkuAmerica...01:55
SonikkuAmericaPlease don't use ENTER as punctuation01:55
SonikkuAmericaMaybe...01:55

SonikkuAmericaAh, nope01:55
Jbmorris289ok sorry01:55
SonikkuAmericaThat'd be 1 GB01:55
Jbmorris289what windows xp gives apparently01:56
Jbmorris289https://gyazo.com/7ba62fbba741ffedcc6d6416b279297601:56
Jbmorris2890.99 GB01:56
Jbmorris289SonikkuAmerica, Even the windows 7 upgrade advisor told me that 0.99 GB is good enough????02:00
Jbmorris289Because it took it as 1 GB02:01
Jbmorris289but imo, I don't think that's good for smooth operation02:01
SonikkuAmericaJbmorris289: Do you have a 32-bit machine?02:03
Jbmorris289yep02:03

fenecodo I have to reload something after editing this file: ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml?18:24
tsimonq2feneco: you should log out and log back in again :)18:24
fenecothanks tsimonq218:25
feneco:D18:25
tsimonq2no problem, let me know if you need anything else, feneco :)18:26
krytarikfeneco: "openbox --reconfigure"18:27
fenecoi'm really stupid18:27
fenecohttps://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/INEKm8e8/18:27
fenecoand I looked for something like that hahaha18:28
fenecothanks krytarik18:28
krytarikHah. :D18:28
tsimonq2krytarik: would my solution work too? just curious18:28
tsimonq2oic nvm18:29
fenecoam I missing something in this hotkey setting? it doesn't work https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/28XGm6do/18:30
krytarikfeneco: Doesn't look like - for Alt + Shift + 3.18:40
fenecoI will try to log off then log in again18:42
krytarikMake sure what config file is actually being used though.18:45
fenecokrytarik: how can I do that?19:11
tsimonq2feneco: can you give me the output of: ls ~/.config/openbox/19:11
fenecotsimonq2 lubuntu-rc.xml  lubuntu-rc.xml.mod  lxde-rc.xml19:12
tsimonq2you should then change lubuntu-rc.xml instead of lxde-rc.xml19:12
ianorlinfenco there is also openbox --reconfigure that gets it to reread its config file19:13
fenecotsimonq2: that worked19:15
fenecoianorlin: yes, I was doing that19:15
fenecobut shouldn't this hotkey work on lxde-rc.xml too?19:15
tsimonq2well here's the thing, when you log in, there'19:15
tsimonq2*there's two sessions19:16
ianorlinfeneco, that works in the lxde session from your display manager19:16
tsimonq2LXDE and Lubuntu19:16
tsimonq2so separate sessions use separate files19:16
fenecoand when should I use lxde-rc.xml then?19:16
fenecothanks by the way :)19:18
tsimonq2never, unless you use the LXDE session19:21
fenecogot it19:21
fenecothanks :D19:21
