| andybalaam | Hi all, the download links at the top of http://lubuntu.net/ are to version 14.04. Is this deliberate? If not, what would be the best way to report it or submit a change request? | 10:57 |

| StumpDumb | Hello, I'm interested in using two monitors with a netbook. I used Arandr and it works great But I can't get it to stay. How do I execute the .sh file on startup? | 16:54 |
| krytarik | StumpDumb: Just add it to your autostart apps. | 17:00 |
| wxl | krytarik: or better yet, make it start with lightdm http://askubuntu.com/a/69501 | 17:01 |
| StumpDumb | I tried to but I think its locked? | 17:02 |
| wxl | StumpDumb: "it?" | 17:03 |
| StumpDumb | The startup folder | 17:03 |
| wxl | StumpDumb: why would you think it's locked? | 17:03 |
| StumpDumb | it gives me an error, and doesn't copy | 17:06 |
| wxl | StumpDumb: what error? | 17:06 |
| krytarik | StumpDumb: Why not just use the GUI for this? | 17:08 |
| StumpDumb | where is autostart located? | 17:09 |
| wxl | StumpDumb: http://askubuntu.com/questions/81383/how-can-i-add-new-autostart-programs-in-lubuntu | 17:12 |
| wxl | that also tells you how do to it graphically | 17:13 |
| StumpDumb | excellent that's whud I was lookin for | 17:13 |
| StumpDumb | well it runs the Arandr but it does not execute the .sh file? | 17:30 |
| wxl | StumpDumb: again, specifics matter here | 17:31 |
| StumpDumb | gonna try something else...letcha no ina min | 17:31 |
| StumpDumb | another chart said to put it in the .xsessionrc file but I can't find the file? | 17:41 |
| wxl | StumpDumb: doesn't exist by default afaik | 17:41 |
| StumpDumb | yep gotcha. I just hate starting all over. so I will | 17:43 |
| StumpDumb | I want to run dual monitors in Lubuntu, the Arandr works great But | 17:44 |
| StumpDumb | it does Not run at startup. So how do I run the .sh file at startup? | 17:44 |
| StumpDumb | When I put Arandr in the startup folder it runs Arandr but it does Not execute the .sh file I've created. | 17:45 |
| StumpDumb | so running it in the startup folder does very little good. | 17:46 |
| wxl | StumpDumb: did you consider that perhaps there's something wrong with the .sh file? | 17:46 |
| StumpDumb | I assoc the .sh with Arandr and when I double click it it asks "Execute, Execute in Term, Open, and Cancel" wen I Execute it it works Great | 17:49 |
| StumpDumb | so how do I get the .sh file to automatically execute at startup. | 17:49 |
| wxl | you said that when you run arandr in the startup folder it works? | 17:50 |
| StumpDumb | it opens the Arandr app....then you must configure the monitors. The .sh is a pre-configured layout and res | 17:51 |
| wxl | ok so we have determined that the startup works fine | 17:51 |
| wxl | do i assume this is a .desktop file? | 17:51 |
| StumpDumb | The .sh file is on the desktop, yes | 17:52 |
| StumpDumb | It appears to be a standard text file with some parameters | 17:53 |
| wxl | StumpDumb: why don't you pastebin the file listing of where you have arandr and/or the script (ls -al would be best, so we can see permissions and ownership) as well as the content of the script itself | 17:53 |
| StumpDumb | Ok posted 'Arandr' enjoy | 17:58 |
| wxl | where? | 17:58 |
| StumpDumb | pastebin | 17:58 |
| StumpDumb | The next two lines are from the .sh file | 17:59 |
| StumpDumb | #!/bin/sh | 17:59 |
| wxl | If you coudl send a link, that would be great. | 17:59 |
| StumpDumb | xrandr --output VIRTUAL1 --off --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 --pos 1024x0 --rotate normal | 17:59 |
| StumpDumb | BSvY8wRG | 17:59 |
| wxl | i see nothing there that shows me the location of the arandr file or the script | 18:01 |
| morf_ | ~/.screenresolutions or something | 18:01 |
| StumpDumb | one moment please | 18:05 |
| StumpDumb | Pastebin fsfETsEj | 18:06 |
| wxl | links are really helpful in the future | 18:07 |
| StumpDumb | working on two sep computers....new to Lubuntu | 18:07 |
| wxl | yeah and i'm helping you while actually doing work, too :) | 18:07 |
| wxl | so i take it you got that arandr file working by using the gui? | 18:08 |
| StumpDumb | yes, you can open the Default.sh file and hit the check mark to run it | 18:09 |
| StumpDumb | works Great | 18:09 |
| wxl | yeah the gui only understands desktop files | 18:09 |
| wxl | if you would put that .sh file in the autostart it would probably run just fine | 18:10 |
| wxl | or if you edit the arandr desktop file so it includes all your switches | 18:11 |
| StumpDumb | Nope. I was told by another char to put it in the .sessionrc I will mess with this | 18:12 |
| StumpDumb | rebooting other puter now | 18:13 |
| StumpDumb | Worked Great! | 18:15 |
| StumpDumb | FYI-so I just copied the .sh file into the .sessionrc file that I created in my home dir...worked great | 18:16 |
| StumpDumb | Thanks 4 ur help....now back to work (for both of us) :-( | 18:17 |
| feneco | hi | 21:54 |
| feneco | i used command openbox --replace, now when I close the process (ctrl+c) I can't move windows or resize them | 21:55 |
| feneco | any help? | 21:55 |
| wxl | feneco: openbox --replace & ? | 21:57 |
| feneco | wxl: that would work, but the windows lose their theming | 21:57 |
| feneco | isn't there a way to reset it somehow? | 21:57 |
| feneco | (tried reset but didn't work) | 21:57 |
| feneco | --reset i mean | 21:58 |
| wxl | feneco: have you tried logging out and back in? | 21:58 |
| lynorian | I would rather have functioning window management and broken theming as you can get things done it would just look ugly | 22:01 |
| feneco | wxl: worked | 22:03 |
| feneco | used lxsession from terminal logged back-in | 22:03 |
| AciD` | hi | 22:58 |
| AciD` | what's the quickest way to enable compositing under lubuntu? | 22:59 |
| wxl | AciD`: compton | 22:59 |
| AciD` | thank you wxl, I'll investigate on this | 23:00 |
| AciD` | what's the official way to install that? | 23:13 |
| AciD` | I found a ppa (richardgv), but it hasn't been updated for 92 weeks :o | 23:13 |
| wxl | um | 23:14 |
| wxl | !info compton | 23:14 |
| ubottu | compton (source: compton): compositor for X11, based on xcompmgr. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.1~beta2-1 (xenial), package size 97 kB, installed size 243 kB | 23:14 |
| wxl | why ppa it when it's already in the repos? | 23:14 |
| AciD` | oh it is? | 23:15 |
| AciD` | :x | 23:15 |
| AciD` | my bad | 23:15 |
| wxl | what version of lubuntu you have AciD` ? | 23:15 |
| wxl | lsb_release -a | 23:15 |
| AciD` | 16.04.1 | 23:17 |
| AciD` | I just installed it | 23:17 |
| wxl | yep then it's there for sure | 23:17 |
| AciD` | ok, I just installed it, do I need to fiddle in config file to activate it on startup? | 23:17 |
| wxl | i believe you do | 23:17 |
| AciD` | (like it's said in this very very old article : http://lubuntu.me/tip-compton/) | 23:18 |
| wxl | yeah that's probably still accurate | 23:18 |
| AciD` | ok | 23:18 |
| wxl | AciD`: i'd personally put that in the autostart in ~/.config | 23:18 |
| wxl | system folders tend to get overwritten on upgrades | 23:19 |
| AciD` | nice, it works well | 23:22 |
| AciD` | you mean in ~/.config/autostart? | 23:22 |
| wxl | i think it's ~/.config/lxsession/autostart | 23:22 |
| wxl | let me see if i have a vm handy | 23:22 |
| AciD` | ok | 23:23 |
| wxl | you could just `find ~/.config -type d -name autostart` | 23:23 |
| AciD` | it's in/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart | 23:23 |
| wxl | there you go | 23:23 |
| AciD` | thank you again wxl | 23:23 |
| wxl | np | 23:23 |
