| lynorian | fishcooker, I don't think so unless you write your own panel plugin or something | 05:35 |
| Oglien | Hi | 13:29 |
| Oglien | i got an issue with my new install of lubuntu | 13:30 |
| Oglien | Abiword twinkle, it is hard to look at it and work with it | 13:31 |
| Oglien | anyone ? | 13:39 |
| leszek | Oglien: not sure what you mean. Do you have a screenshot if its a graphical issue | 13:40 |
| Oglien | it does not appear on screenshot, but it's like abiword is too weak to refresh the view when i hit a letter | 13:44 |
| leszek | Oglien: and the issue only appears in Abiword and no other application (so isn't a general graphiccard/driver issue ?) | 13:47 |
| Oglien | firefox is ok, i think it's just abiword. I tried to uninstall and install it, it's the same | 13:49 |
| leszek | Oglien: but isn't the famous flickering of the borders of the page ? Or is it this ? | 13:50 |
| leszek | Oglien: to make sure that it isn't this issue try starting abiword with GTK_THEME=Adwaita abiword and see if it works better | 13:51 |
| leszek | If it is then its the famous flickering theming issue | 13:51 |
| Oglien | yes it's the border of the page (i'm not sure that i understand all Usay, i don't gave a good english | 13:52 |
| Oglien | how do we solve this issue ? | 14:00 |
| leszek | Oglien: you need to start abiword with the command GTK_THEME=Adwaita abiword everytime | 14:09 |
| leszek | so go to your /usr/share/applications/abiword.desktop file and change the exec line not only to execute abiword but GTK_THEME=Adwaita abiword and save that file (needs root rights /sudo to modify this file) | 14:09 |
| Oglien | ok, | 14:29 |
| Oglien | leszek: what do i have to write after "exec=" ? | 14:30 |
| leszek | GTK_THEME=Adwaita abiword | 14:30 |
| barnseybscuk | Currently I am using Ubuntu 16.04, just wondering if anyone thinks lubuntu is better. | 14:33 |
| Oglien | leszek: I don't understand, with "exec=gtk_theme=adwaita abiword" it does not work | 14:38 |
| leszek | Oglien: exec="GTK_THEME=Adwaita abiword" with quotation marks please and case sensitive | 14:41 |
| Oglien | ok | 14:41 |
| Oglien | still no... | 14:42 |
| leszek | what error message ? | 14:42 |
| Oglien | it's in french, i try to translate : Error : Desktop entry fil invalid | 14:42 |
| Oglien | leszek: i don't know if that help | 14:49 |
| leszek | hmm... then lets do it this way create a new file in /usr/bin called abiword.sh (as root) and enter in it | 14:57 |
| leszek | GTK_THEME=Adwaita abiword $* | 14:57 |
| leszek | save the file and make it executable | 14:57 |
| leszek | replace the exec line with | 14:57 |
| leszek | exec=abiword.sh | 14:57 |
| leszek | and save that file aswell | 14:57 |
| Oglien | \o/ | 15:01 |
| Oglien | It works !!!! | 15:01 |
| Oglien | leszek: you're my god ! ^ | 15:01 |
| Oglien | ^^ | 15:01 |
| leszek | :) | 15:01 |
| Oglien | leszek: Maybe U could help me with theprinter now... ^^ | 15:09 |
| Oglien | I have a network printer, i can't install with the same driver that works on my other pc on ubuntu, it does'nt work, it says "filter failed" | 15:10 |
| leszek | Oglien: which printer model ? | 15:13 |
| Oglien | canon ir adv c2220 | 15:14 |
| leszek | hmm... did you choose the correct driver ? Is foomatic-db installed ? | 15:14 |
| Oglien | i don't know for foomatic-db, i have cuips!? i think it's the correct driver, when i try another one and i print i got "if you can read this, you are using wrong driver for your printer" | 15:16 |
| leszek | Try installing foomatic-db it provides some other printer drivers aswell. And make sure to have cups-filters installed. | 15:17 |
| Oglien | ok i try that | 15:17 |
| leszek | Usually I don't use network printers but plug them via usb which 99 times out of 100 works plug and play | 15:17 |
| Oglien | yes, but, i work in a school, so we have lot of pc, so i don't have choice ! | 15:18 |
| Oglien | leszek: nothing works | 15:26 |
| Oglien | and cups-filters is up to date | 15:31 |
| Oglien | hell yeah i did it !!!! | 15:45 |
| Oglien | thx U leszek | 15:45 |
| leszek | :) | 15:49 |
| sgo11 | hi, are icons of plugin type "dhcpcdui", "bluetooth", "volumealsa" in lxpanel hardcoded somewhere? how can I find which image files they are using? thanks. | 18:10 |
| wxl | you might want to review the lxde wiki on this subject, sgo11. http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel | 18:14 |
| sgo11 | wxl, I read it. no information about my question. thanks. | 18:14 |
| wxl | sure there is | 18:14 |
| sgo11 | wxl, really? which part? let me read again... I read that page more than 10 times... | 18:15 |
| sgo11 | roughly only. | 18:15 |
| wxl | http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel#Panels | 18:16 |
| wxl | any icons used in lxpanel are defined by the icons package | 18:17 |
| wxl | !info lubuntu-lxpanel-icons | 18:17 |
| ubottu | lubuntu-lxpanel-icons (source: lubuntu-artwork): panel specific icons for Lubuntu artwork. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.61.1 (xenial), package size 52 kB, installed size 135 kB | 18:17 |
| wxl | you could loook at file locations there | 18:17 |
| wxl | here's more in theming http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel_Theming | 18:17 |
| sgo11 | wxl, I read them. maybe I am too stupid. I still don't get which image files are using for my input method, network, volumealsa. It's easy to find .desktop icons. it's easy to find icons in the launchbar. but I can't find icons in the right side of the lxpanel. I don't know how to call them, maybe indicators? | 18:27 |
| wxl | sgo11: consult http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel_Theming | 18:29 |
| wxl | let me explain for you | 18:29 |
| wxl | (not trying to give you the RTFM treatment) | 18:29 |
| wxl | the key is: | 18:29 |
| wxl | Themes are associated with profiles, so they must be located in the used profile directory. They're searched in the locations set in the environment variables $XDG_CONFIG_HOME first, and then (from left to right) in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS | 18:29 |
| wxl | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is usually ~/.config | 18:30 |
| wxl | $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is usually /etc/xdg | 18:30 |
| wxl | so if we look at lxpanel in both of those we should find the panels and configuration files | 18:31 |
| sgo11 | i checked .config/lxpanel files. I checked my gtk-2.0/gtkrc file. | 18:31 |
| wxl | since ~/.config/lxpanel is pretty much empty, that leaves us to look at /etc/xdg | 18:32 |
| sgo11 | wxl, the only place I haven't checked is /etc/xdg. I am checking them now. | 18:33 |
| wxl | you'll see some pointing to /usr/share/lxpanel/images in there | 18:34 |
| wxl | and if you look at the list of files for lubuntu-lxpanel-icons, you'll see that's where they're getting installed to | 18:34 |
| sgo11 | wxl, thanks for your help. but I kinda give up. I found nothing related to my input method icon, network icon, volumealsa icon. no config file is defining them. no icons are the same as the ones shown in my lxpanel. I am getting crazy to find those icons in one week already. | 18:37 |
| wxl | sgo11: in that case, they're probably hardcoded into the plugin itself :/ | 18:38 |
| sgo11 | wxl, if that is the case, which source file I can read? I can read .c files. but I don't know which files to read. thanks. | 18:38 |
| wxl | this may be instructive, sgo11 http://wiki.lxde.org/en/How_to_write_plugins_for_LXPanel | 18:39 |
| sgo11 | wxl, thanks. I will try to read those source files. | 18:41 |
| wxl | sgo11: https://git.lxde.org/gitweb/?p=debian/lxpanel.git;a=blob;f=plugins/volumealsa/volumealsa.c;h=5683be10cc7ae6b2405125c84346d2972e2b651c;hb=HEAD | 18:42 |
| wxl | sgo11: i think this is the input manager https://git.lxde.org/gitweb/?p=debian/lxpanel.git;a=tree;f=plugins/xkb;h=61d3438364b00475e8077377e62cbc2dbd63a607;hb=HEAD | 18:43 |
| sgo11 | wxl, thanks a lot. I am checking them now. | 18:44 |
| wxl | you'll have to try netstat or netstatus for networking https://git.lxde.org/gitweb/?p=debian/lxpanel.git;a=tree;f=plugins;hb=HEAD | 18:44 |
| wxl | sgo11: here's the downstream code in ubuntu https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel | 18:46 |
| sgo11 | wxl, thanks. | 18:47 |
| wxl | sgo11: np. sorry i don't have the direct answer for you. you might try the artwork team https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-art | 18:49 |
| wxl | sgo11: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation also *MAY* help | 18:50 |
| sgo11 | wxl, ok. thanks a lot for your help. :) | 18:51 |
| sgo11 | ok. I figured out my input method icons are using /usr/share/fcitx/skin/ .... it's not using any lxpanel config or gtkrc config files. | 19:10 |
| wxl | sgo11: i guess that makes sense considering that *IS* the input manager. it's likely that this just uses xdg standards. | 19:28 |
| sgo11 | wxl, thanks. I thought input method was the same as type volumealsa etc.. I just realized that it was tray type, so they are using their own skin. | 19:30 |
| wxl | sgo11: i'm glad i'm not too picky about the way things look. that stuff would drive me crazy XD | 19:32 |
| sgo11 | wxl, ^_^ | 19:33 |
