=== spooky is now known as Guest59445 [06:09] hello, anybody online here? [06:10] I needed some help in choosing a lightweight linux distro for my very old laptop. [06:11] I checked various distros. Just wanted some thoughts on which is better Lubuntu or LXLE? [06:12] Needed to know, in terms of performance is Lubuntu better than LXLE. [06:25] Hi guys, im trying to install lubuntu on my laptop but it complaed about not being able to find a backlight controler [06:25] And flashes light nuts [06:49] 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] What's this mean / how do I fix this [08:10] i just learnt Lubuntu will soon use LXQt... any implementation date for that? [09:26] 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] richardlampitt, git is mostly a command line interface so you would start lxterminal [09:29] I'm a heathen and prefer gitgui :P [09:30] 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] Cool. That'll add it to the start menu thing? [09:32] well if you have a graphical frontend install [09:32] I do indeed [09:32] but just installing the git package installs the command line version as not all people like the GUI version [09:32] ok then you need the command to launch that [09:33] Righteo [09:33] I've installed git-gui and gitk too, should have been more specific [09:35] 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] mhm? [09:43] do you have gitk in your menu [09:44] 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] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man1/git-gui.1.html [09:59] Okay, cool. What do I need to do to create a shortcut to it? [19:54] 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
