[08:03] <penguin_> Hello
[08:07] <penguin_> Is anybody here?
[08:14] <penguin_> .
[08:14] <penguin_> HEllo
[08:15] <krytarik> !ask | penguin_
[08:16] <penguin_> Okay.I have an unusual problem with lubuntu. I cannot install steam nor uninstall steam due to broken dependiences.
[08:17] <penguin_> I need assistance please.
[08:18] <krytarik> I suggest you ask this in the main #ubuntu channel - not related to Lubuntu, and way more eyes there.
[08:19] <penguin_> Okay.
[11:41] <brim> since when did this happen?
[11:43] <brim> anybody here now
[12:00] <hateball> brim: Since when did what happen?
[12:02] <brim> why are there so many people here
[12:12] <hateball> idling is free
[12:27] <gsilva> also, lots of people use Lubuntu in old machines
[13:24] <kaosine> 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] <kaosine> 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] <gsilva> meh, didn't notice the dude left
[14:29] <kaosine> gsilva: left right beofre you both responded ha ha
[18:38] <cristian_c> hello
[18:38] <wxl> howdy
[18:39] <cristian_c> I'd like to set media buttons xf86audioplay, xf86audiopause, .... in lubuntu media players
[18:39] <cristian_c> I don't know how to make them working in general, not for a particular media player
[18:40] <cristian_c> about how to send press event to media players
[18:40] <cristian_c> I don't know if dbus is needed in order to achieve this
[18:41] <cristian_c> any ideas?
[18:41] <wxl> your openbox config could be useful, using it to call a terminal command if the media players can be controlled that way.
[18:42] <cristian_c> wxl: I try to see immediately
[18:45] <cristian_c> openbox configuration manager looks like not very useful
[18:46] <wxl> it will be IF you figure out the terminal command to call
[18:46] <cristian_c> :O
[18:49] <cristian_c> 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] <cristian_c> *found
[18:50] <cristian_c> I'm looking at all lubuntu configuration applications
[18:50] <wxl> the openbox configuration has a lot of triggers based on keypresses
[18:50] <wxl> did you find that?
[18:51] <cristian_c> I'm using 16.04, and obconf manager has stuff related appearance, pretty
[18:51] <wxl> here's the upstream documentation on it
[18:51] <wxl> http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings#Key_bindings
[18:51] <wxl> it's in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
[18:51] <cristian_c> ah, ok
[18:52] <cristian_c> I thought you talked about the obconf gui
[18:52] <cristian_c> (obconf 2.0.4)
[18:52] <wxl> nope, that's more limited
[18:52] <wxl> here's information on the execute action you'll need to use http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#Execute
[18:54] <cristian_c> ah, ok
[18:54] <wxl> 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] <cristian_c> from the first link, I believe I can use multiple <action> fields for a single <keybind>
[18:55] <wxl> i haven't tried to do that but you should also be able to use multiple commands within a single execute call
[18:55] <cristian_c> for example. gnome mplayer
[18:55] <cristian_c> ah, ok, now I look at second link
[18:56] <wxl> 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] <cristian_c> and then to the third one, thanks
[18:56] <cristian_c> wxl: I've found a trick for audacious using a plugin inside audacious settings, but gnome mplayer has not such setting
[18:57] <wxl> 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] <cristian_c> I've looked for, without results, then I've thought to a general trick , not related tova particular player
[19:00] <wxl> usually such things, if they exist, are often implemented by the player itself
[19:00] <wxl> in which case, you'd want to make sure to disable any conflicting keybindings in openbox
[19:00] <wxl> as most likely openbox would take precedence to the player itself
[19:02] <cristian_c> uhm, I'm afraid that if I put multiple <command> lines for a single execute, when I press the button , all the players open and play simultaneously, instead of the current one
[19:02] <cristian_c> uhm, I think so, about conflicts
[19:02]  * cristian_c is looking at the third link, now
[19:05] <penguin__> hi
[19:05] <penguin__> im looking for an ubuntu expert
[19:25] <cristian_c> ok, I've looked at gnome-mplayer manual and --help, no results
[19:37] <wxl> cristian_c: i'd suggest talking to upstream devs
[19:38] <cristian_c> yeah
[19:38] <cristian_c> I think I'll contact mplayer guys
[19:39] <cristian_c> (I'm looking also at mplayer man, btw)
[19:39] <wxl> yep good plan
[19:39] <wxl> if you do figure it out, i suggest making a blog page about it and sending something to the lubuntu mailing list
[19:39] <wxl> or make a wiki page on the subject or find a place on our wiki for it to go
[19:39] <wxl> it's a good idea and i'm surprised others have n't asked about it
[19:39] <cristian_c> I tg
[19:39] <cristian_c> I think, I'm subscribed to lubuntu ml
[19:40] <cristian_c> (btw, I've not a personal blog)
[19:40] <wxl> that works
[19:40] <wxl> we can blog it around for you :)
[19:40] <cristian_c> ok
[21:42] <koleygr> hi!
[21:43] <koleygr> Will next lubuntu lts come with LxQt?
[21:43] <koleygr> or LXDE will continue?
