| Obadiah1 | lubuntu is my fren | 10:25 |
| Obadiah1 | :D | 10:25 |
| AlphaOne | I just got an old laptop. I want to dual boot OpenElec OS & Lubuntu OS. What order should I install those in? | 15:15 |
| taiga7232 | yo. a little help please | 16:02 |
| taiga7232 | maybe i should ask right away. i wanted to play chocolate-doom on lubuntu here and it sux because i can't use number keys that are above the letter keys to change the weapons. i use slovak layout so that is the problem i confirmed with the authors of the program also. so my question is, how do i change the keyboard layout to e.g. german so that the program would accept it? i tried in lxpanel but that | 16:07 |
| taiga7232 | didn't help. suggestions please | 16:07 |
| Obadiah1 | delete the game because it sux | 16:11 |
| taiga7232 | how dare you! doom is a classic | 16:11 |
| Obadiah1 | lol | 16:11 |
| NewAgeAssHat | hello | 20:19 |
| bollo | evening | 20:21 |
| wxl | w/hois NewAgeAssHat | 20:21 |
| wxl | oops | 20:21 |
| wxl | NewAgeAssHat: i'm not exactly sure your nick is appropriate given the IRC guidelines. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 20:22 |
| NewAgeAssHat | k | 20:22 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | there | 20:23 |
| wxl | works XD | 20:23 |
| wxl | t'was cute, though. | 20:23 |
| wxl | anyways, need some help? | 20:23 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | I can't take a screenshot with the "PrtSc" button | 20:24 |
| wxl | did you look at the bindings for the key in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml? | 20:24 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | what | 20:24 |
| Unit193 | By default, scrot dumps a pic in ~/ | 20:24 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | why would I look there | 20:24 |
| wxl | yueah, there's that, too. | 20:25 |
| wxl | so it may just appear not to do anything. | 20:25 |
| lynorian | but it takes the screenshot | 20:25 |
| wxl | assuming the binding isn't messed up at all | 20:25 |
| wxl | or if the binding is using some default mechanism that is broken | 20:25 |
| wxl | (as we've had with ctrl-alt-t) | 20:25 |
| lynorian | wxl yep | 20:26 |
| lynorian | wxl or worse if you had a calculator key | 20:26 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | wxl: http://pastebin.com/AH6igwF5 | 20:29 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | well the command "lxsession-default screenshot" take a screenshot | 20:30 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | *takes | 20:30 |
| wxl | JustAnotherIdiot: it seems to be set up correctly, i think. let me double check "Print" is the right name for the key. might want to use `xev` to make sure the system picks up on that key. if you want to pastebin the output, that would be cool. | 20:31 |
| wxl | JustAnotherIdiot: as you can see at http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings#Keys you need to use the hex version of the decimal keycode or the keysym name | 20:33 |
| wxl | JustAnotherIdiot: for me, i get keycode 107 (keysym 0xf4461, Print) | 20:34 |
| wxl | JustAnotherIdiot: so i'd use "Print" or "0x6B" | 20:35 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | I get 218 | 20:35 |
| wxl | yeah keyboard differences happen :) | 20:35 |
| wxl | so that's why it doesn't work for you | 20:36 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | maybe 107? | 20:36 |
| wxl | i assume it gives you no keysym name? | 20:36 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | is there a way to make it stop listening for mouse events | 20:36 |
| wxl | 218 in hex is 0xDA so you could do <keybind key="0xDA"> and restart openbox | 20:37 |
| wxl | yeah ctrl-c to kill the little window | 20:37 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | wxl: http://pastebin.com/KxuCW8ff | 20:38 |
| wxl | JustAnotherIdiot: ah, so "Print" SHOULD work, but if you want to be 100% sure just use the hex keycode | 20:39 |

| JustAnotherIdiot | wxl: what's the command to restart openbox? | 20:41 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | ok | 20:41 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | restarted | 20:41 |
| wxl | JustAnotherIdiot: oh well, `openbox --reconfigure` fwiw. | 20:42 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | ok it works | 20:42 |
| wxl | horray | 20:42 |
| WhiteWhale | That's a beautiful exit message JustAnotherIdiot | 20:54 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | ok | 20:54 |
| WhiteWhale | your thing about Trump I mean | 20:54 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | ok | 20:54 |
| WhiteWhale | good chat | 20:56 |
| JustAnotherIdiot | wxl: would there be a way to change the directory of the screenshots? | 20:57 |
| wxl | JustAnotherIdiot: not in any way that makes sense (my opinion). looking at the scrot manpage, the suggested way to do this is to add `--exec 'mv $f /path/to/directory'` | 20:59 |
| Obadiah1 | quit\ | 21:22 |
| gjjki | hello | 21:42 |
| gjjki | is lubuntu righr for me | 21:42 |
| wxl | gjjki: yes. install it now! | 21:47 |
| gjjki | my computer has inntel core i3 is that to slow | 21:50 |
| wxl | nope. we have people running this on old pentiums. | 21:50 |
| gjjki | and what is the difference between lubuntu xubuntu and edubuntu | 21:54 |
| wxl | edubuntu shouldn't even be a consideration. it's really meant for a network of computers in an educational or institutional situation. | 21:54 |
| wxl | xubuntu uses the xfce desktop. | 21:54 |
| wxl | lubuntu uses the lxde desktop and has selected applications based on being lightweight and serving older computers. | 21:55 |
| gjjki | is 5 years old to old for it | 21:56 |
| wxl | nopr | 21:56 |
| wxl | if you're trying to make old hardware work, lubuntu is the right choice among all the ubuntu flavors. | 21:56 |
| gjjki | and is lubuntu the only the=ing that you are familular with | 21:57 |
| wxl | nope | 21:57 |
| wxl | i mean there are other alternatives. your best choice to get the minimum possible footprint is linux from scratch. build your own kernel using only the modules you want. install only the applications you want. etc. just takes more time. | 21:57 |
| wxl | arch can make this easier, but still there's time involved. | 21:58 |
| wxl | lubuntu is just right just the way it is and has the benefit of having a great degree of support thanks to the ubuntu infrastructure underlying and surrounding it | 21:58 |
| gjjki | and I am just trying dual boot with windows and A linux distro | 21:59 |
| gjjki | I am not familular with linux | 21:59 |
| wxl | why bother with windows? it doesn't play well with others, generally. | 21:59 |
| gjjki | windows is built into the system | 22:00 |
| wxl | it's easily removed | 22:00 |
| gjjki | yes but I want to get familular wth anew 1 b4 i un install windows | 22:01 |
| wxl | so why don't you run a live cd? | 22:01 |
| gjjki | A what? | 22:01 |
| wxl | if you get the "desktop" version of the lubuntu isos, you can burn it to a cd, dvd, usb, whatever, and then boot to it. it will load the system into memory and you can use it like normal. | 22:02 |
| gjjki | i am not verry familular with computers due to limitation of resources and trying to learn | 22:03 |
| wxl | i can tell you that's no more difficult than doing a dual boot. | 22:04 |
| wxl | you're going to have to do disk partitioning, for example, to make it work | 22:04 |
| gjjki | I do have a 4 g usb fdrive | 22:04 |
| gjjki | is that big enough for it | 22:04 |
| gjjki | and what # can I contact you at | 22:05 |
| wxl | the xenial desktop isos are running a bit over 800m | 22:05 |
| wxl | so yes | 22:05 |
| wxl | you can contact lubuntu through this irc channel or lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com | 22:05 |
| wxl | according to your ip address, it looks like you're in the us | 22:07 |
| wxl | is that correct? | 22:07 |
| gjjki | The computer that I am wanting to replace windows on is a Gateway nv57 and I do not know what other distros that will load on it | 22:07 |
| gjjki | and why do you ask | 22:08 |
| wxl | they all should, really, although some will use resources more or less | 22:08 |
| gjjki | are you familular with other linux distros | 22:09 |
| wxl | yes | 22:09 |
| gjjki | are you the same person that I have been speaking with | 22:10 |
| wxl | yep. nick hasn't changed. | 22:10 |
| gjjki | well I ask because I see allot of people quiting | 22:11 |
| wxl | that happens, but they don't have the same nick as me. | 22:11 |
| wxl | the reason i asked where you were is because there may be a linux user group or an ubuntu local community that could provide in person help | 22:12 |
| gjjki | and why do you ask about My location | 22:12 |
| wxl | i could help you find one, but only if i knew where you were | 22:12 |
| gjjki | i am in ms | 22:12 |
| wxl | missouri? | 22:13 |
| gjjki | south | 22:13 |
| wxl | you're telling me you're in the southern part of missouri? | 22:13 |
| gjjki | south of missouri? | 22:14 |
| wxl | you're in the state below missouri? | 22:14 |
| wxl | i don't know what you're trying to say, but if you give me a straight answer, i'm sure i could help out. | 22:14 |
| gjjki | MS | 22:14 |
| gjjki | it is a long name | 22:15 |
| wxl | oh derp | 22:15 |
| wxl | sorry | 22:15 |
| gjjki | what is the state? | 22:15 |
| wxl | the one that has a p p | 22:15 |
| gjjki | yes if u r talking about Mississippi | 22:16 |
| wxl | here's a lug in the south http://smlug.org/ | 22:16 |
| wxl | looks like they're having a meeting this saturday | 22:16 |
| wxl | they have a mailing list too http://mail.bixwebs.com/mailman/listinfo/smlug_smlug.org | 22:18 |
| wxl | here's one in jackson http://www.lugoj.org/ | 22:19 |
| wxl | they might not still be a thing. unclear. | 22:19 |
| wxl | mailing list is here http://lists.lugoj.org/mailman/listinfo/lugoj | 22:19 |
| gjjki | is that the only location that they have them | 22:20 |
| * wxl shrugs | 22:20 | |
| wxl | you'll have to ask | 22:20 |
| gjjki | what other distros do you recomend | 22:21 |
| wxl | depends on what you want | 22:21 |
| gjjki | ease of use with a little challenge | 22:22 |
| wxl | what does a little challenge mean? | 22:22 |
| gjjki | and can I boot up lubuntu W{O internet | 22:22 |
| gjjki | a little challenge means a learning point | 22:23 |
| wxl | yes you can boot up lubuntu without internet | 22:23 |
| wxl | assumedly, EVERYTHING is going to be a learning experience for you | 22:23 |
| wxl | that said, i would start of with something that's easy and that's well supported | 22:24 |
| wxl | i'd say the ubuntu family would be ideal for that | 22:24 |
| gjjki | can I save the file on a flashdrive with other doc. on it | 22:24 |
| gjjki | and boot from it | 22:25 |
| wxl | if it already has files on there, i wouldn't recommend it. but certainly you could add files to the drive | 22:25 |
| gjjki | what about mint | 22:28 |
| gjjki | is it a good os | 22:28 |
| wxl | it's a downstream version of ubuntu, essentially. you'll find less support, in general, and a few quirks relative to ubuntu. | 22:29 |
