| LinuxNovice | hello, anybody online here? | 06:09 |
|---|---|---|
| LinuxNovice | I needed some help in choosing a lightweight linux distro for my very old laptop. | 06:10 |
| LinuxNovice | I checked various distros. Just wanted some thoughts on which is better Lubuntu or LXLE? | 06:11 |
| LinuxNovice | Needed to know, in terms of performance is Lubuntu better than LXLE. | 06:12 |
| FireStriker | Hi guys, im trying to install lubuntu on my laptop but it complaed about not being able to find a backlight controler | 06:25 |
| FireStriker | And flashes light nuts | 06:25 |
| FireStriker | Hey I'm trying to install lubuntu and it complain about not being able to find a backlight controller than started to flash at me like mad | 06:49 |
| FireStriker | What's this mean / how do I fix this | 06:49 |
| venzen | i just learnt Lubuntu will soon use LXQt... any implementation date for that? | 08:10 |
| richardlampitt | Hello all! Noob question: how do I add git to my 'start menu', or whatever it's called in lubuntu. I'm using lubuntu's default stuff, beyond installing git. | 09:26 |
| lynorian | richardlampitt, git is mostly a command line interface so you would start lxterminal | 09:28 |
| richardlampitt | I'm a heathen and prefer gitgui :P | 09:29 |
| lynorian | gitgui I don't know about that you would need to make your own .desktop file and put it in ~/.local/share/applications | 09:30 |
| richardlampitt | Cool. That'll add it to the start menu thing? | 09:31 |
| lynorian | well if you have a graphical frontend install | 09:32 |
| richardlampitt | I do indeed | 09:32 |
| lynorian | but just installing the git package installs the command line version as not all people like the GUI version | 09:32 |
| lynorian | ok then you need the command to launch that | 09:32 |
| richardlampitt | Righteo | 09:33 |
| richardlampitt | I've installed git-gui and gitk too, should have been more specific | 09:33 |
| lynorian | I only have the command line of git installed here so do I need to give you the command to launch from terminal as well | 09:35 |
| richardlampitt | mhm? | 09:38 |
| lynorian | do you have gitk in your menu | 09:43 |
| lynorian | Reading the man page for git gui I don't think it would work well from this desktop file as it takes command line arguments to be useful | 09:44 |
| lynorian | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man1/git-gui.1.html | 09:45 |
| richardlampitt | Okay, cool. What do I need to do to create a shortcut to it? | 09:59 |
| kikll | Unit193: hey how's you ? where phil ? ii dont kno if you rember me im that guy xsaid we used to talk a lot in the off topic room | 19:54 |
