[08:03] Hello [08:07] Is anybody here? [08:14] . [08:14] HEllo [08:15] !ask | penguin_ [08:15] penguin_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [08:16] Okay.I have an unusual problem with lubuntu. I cannot install steam nor uninstall steam due to broken dependiences. [08:17] I need assistance please. [08:18] I suggest you ask this in the main #ubuntu channel - not related to Lubuntu, and way more eyes there. [08:19] Okay. [11:41] since when did this happen? [11:43] anybody here now [12:00] brim: Since when did what happen? [12:02] why are there so many people here [12:12] idling is free [12:27] also, lots of people use Lubuntu in old machines [13:24] stupid question but what's the best software for a mac to make a bootable USB of lubuntu? I need to revive a old pc so my sister has something to use for school and hopefully getting up on her math.... [13:25] gsilva: hateball not that he saw that since he quit right before you said that. Heck I've got quassel running on a digital ocean server(since my ubu server decided to crash) so I'm connected 24/7 right now XD [14:20] meh, didn't notice the dude left [14:29] gsilva: left right beofre you both responded ha ha === pavlushka is now known as KindThree === KindThree is now known as pavlushka [18:38] hello [18:38] howdy [18:39] I'd like to set media buttons xf86audioplay, xf86audiopause, .... in lubuntu media players [18:39] I don't know how to make them working in general, not for a particular media player [18:40] about how to send press event to media players [18:40] I don't know if dbus is needed in order to achieve this [18:41] any ideas? [18:41] your openbox config could be useful, using it to call a terminal command if the media players can be controlled that way. [18:42] wxl: I try to see immediately [18:45] openbox configuration manager looks like not very useful [18:46] it will be IF you figure out the terminal command to call [18:46] :O [18:49] wxl: I've not fpund clues yet, I mean: I've not understood what I should find exactly [18:49] * cristian_c confused [18:49] *found [18:50] I'm looking at all lubuntu configuration applications [18:50] the openbox configuration has a lot of triggers based on keypresses [18:50] did you find that? [18:51] I'm using 16.04, and obconf manager has stuff related appearance, pretty [18:51] here's the upstream documentation on it [18:51] http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings#Key_bindings [18:51] it's in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [18:51] ah, ok [18:52] I thought you talked about the obconf gui [18:52] (obconf 2.0.4) [18:52] nope, that's more limited [18:52] here's information on the execute action you'll need to use http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#Execute [18:54] ah, ok [18:54] depending on the media player you use, this options may be readily available by looking at the man page or using --help or you may need to use dbus, which some, but not all, players use for control. there is a common media player dbus interface that vlc, among others, uses https://wiki.videolan.org/DBus-spec/ [18:55] from the first link, I believe I can use multiple fields for a single [18:55] i haven't tried to do that but you should also be able to use multiple commands within a single execute call [18:55] for example. gnome mplayer [18:55] ah, ok, now I look at second link [18:56] i often use mplayer on the command line. you can completely control it. that said, i would expect the front end to have a similar capacity [18:56] and then to the third one, thanks [18:56] wxl: I've found a trick for audacious using a plugin inside audacious settings, but gnome mplayer has not such setting [18:57] cristian_c: you may want to ask the upstream support for the particular player you are interested in if they know of any options [18:59] I've looked for, without results, then I've thought to a general trick , not related tova particular player [19:00] usually such things, if they exist, are often implemented by the player itself [19:00] in which case, you'd want to make sure to disable any conflicting keybindings in openbox [19:00] as most likely openbox would take precedence to the player itself [19:02] uhm, I'm afraid that if I put multiple lines for a single execute, when I press the button , all the players open and play simultaneously, instead of the current one [19:02] uhm, I think so, about conflicts [19:02] * cristian_c is looking at the third link, now [19:05] hi [19:05] im looking for an ubuntu expert [19:25] ok, I've looked at gnome-mplayer manual and --help, no results [19:37] cristian_c: i'd suggest talking to upstream devs [19:38] yeah [19:38] I think I'll contact mplayer guys [19:39] (I'm looking also at mplayer man, btw) [19:39] yep good plan [19:39] if you do figure it out, i suggest making a blog page about it and sending something to the lubuntu mailing list [19:39] or make a wiki page on the subject or find a place on our wiki for it to go [19:39] it's a good idea and i'm surprised others have n't asked about it [19:39] I tg [19:39] I think, I'm subscribed to lubuntu ml [19:40] (btw, I've not a personal blog) [19:40] that works [19:40] we can blog it around for you :) [19:40] ok [21:42] hi! [21:43] Will next lubuntu lts come with LxQt? [21:43] or LXDE will continue?
