[06:09] <LinuxNovice> hello, anybody online here?
[06:10] <LinuxNovice> I needed some help in choosing a lightweight linux distro for my very old laptop.
[06:11] <LinuxNovice> I checked various distros. Just wanted some thoughts on which is better Lubuntu or LXLE?
[06:12] <LinuxNovice> Needed to know, in terms of performance is Lubuntu better than LXLE.
[06:25] <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
[06:49] <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
[08:10] <venzen> i just learnt Lubuntu will soon use LXQt... any implementation date for that?
[09:26] <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.
[09:28] <lynorian> richardlampitt, git is mostly a command line interface so you would start lxterminal
[09:29] <richardlampitt> I'm a heathen and prefer gitgui :P
[09:30] <lynorian> gitgui I don't know about that you would need to make your own .desktop file and put it in ~/.local/share/applications
[09:31] <richardlampitt> Cool. That'll add it to the start menu thing?
[09:32] <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
[09:33] <richardlampitt> Righteo
[09:33] <richardlampitt> I've installed git-gui and gitk too, should have been more specific
[09:35] <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
[09:38] <richardlampitt> mhm?
[09:43] <lynorian> do you have gitk in your menu
[09:44] <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
[09:45] <lynorian> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man1/git-gui.1.html
[09:59] <richardlampitt> Okay, cool. What do I need to do to create a shortcut to it?
