| wxl | not a reboot. just an openbox restart | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ronniedude | ok, now begins me having to fuck around with my alsa and pulseaudio configs (kill me now) | 00:00 |
| ronniedude | rip me for cheaping out on a chromebook | 00:00 |
| wxl | !language | ronniedude | 00:01 |
| ronniedude | my bad | 00:01 |
| * wxl kicks the dumb bot | 00:01 | |
| wxl | anyways the `openbox --reconfigure` command will do the trick for you | 00:01 |
| ronniedude | hey okay! ill try that now | 00:01 |
| wxl | in general with linux you don't need to reboot. unless you got a new kernel. and even that, that's not necessarily true anymore | 00:01 |
| ronniedude | i'm not that knowledgable on which processes i can safely kill without breaking things so I ususally avoid all that and just reboot but again let me try your command | 00:02 |
| wxl | well, we're not killing anything :) | 00:03 |
| ronniedude | oh true this is a built in openbox command | 00:03 |
| wxl | btw this is really useful http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings | 00:03 |
| wxl | as is this http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions | 00:03 |
| ronniedude | well i mainly wanted to get my super key bound and ill leave the rest to xbindkeys | 00:04 |
| ronniedude | going afk, thanks wxl | 00:07 |
| wxl | np ronniedude have fun | 00:07 |

| ronniedude | well for one thing @wxl lubuntu's install size is about 1/4 that of mintMate | 02:56 |
| ronniedude | oh geez is there a way to ditch openbox and go with another window manager, the keyboard shortcuts are atrocious haing to configure them in an xml file and i think i broke it anyway. | 03:28 |
| ronniedude | wait i found a gui tool to configure it for some ease of use, im still unsure if it supports custom commands. but also i think i may need a new Lubuntu-rc.xml file | 03:32 |
| Unit193 | Should be able to *copy* /usr/share/lubuntu/openbox/rc.xml to ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml | 03:37 |
| wxl | Unit193 speaks wise words | 03:38 |
| wxl | ronniedude: why the switch to Lubuntu from MintMATE? | 03:39 |
| Unit193 | ronniedude: But yes, one can also switch out Window Managers in LXDE. | 03:40 |
| ronniedude | mate was a little too taxing on my system, im running a dual core atom in this chromebook | 03:40 |
| wxl | well, that's one of the benefits of openbox: it's lightweight | 03:41 |
| ronniedude | yeah i know :P | 03:41 |
| ronniedude | when idle in mate i was sit at 1.2/2GB ram | 03:41 |
| ronniedude | now im about 900MB with firefox open | 03:42 |
| ronniedude | so clear difference | 03:42 |
| wxl | so if resource usage is your issue, maybe don't mess with it | 03:42 |
| Unit193 | wxl: Nah man, he can always switch to i3. | 03:42 |
| ronniedude | yeah i found a gui to help with the keybindings, although some of them dont work too well. i think i need to install some dependencies. is xbacklight preinstalled? actually let me check | 03:43 |
| wxl | Unit193: well, i use awesome but i bet most folks would find configuring in lua a trite more difficult than xml XD | 03:43 |
| ronniedude | ok well i found my problem, xbacklight thinks my output doesnt have backlight capabilities | 03:44 |
| ronniedude | "No outputs have backlight property" | 03:45 |
| wxl | ronniedude: http://askubuntu.com/questions/715306/xbacklight-no-outputs-have-backlight-property-no-sys-class-backlight-folder | 03:46 |
| Unit193 | wxl: Can always xmllint --noout on the file, validate before trying. | 03:46 |
| wxl | Unit193: of course, that only validates the xml. it doesn't tell you whether or not you properly created the xml but did something totally stupid XD | 03:46 |
| ronniedude | probably the latter for me :P | 03:50 |
| wxl | XD | 03:50 |
| wxl | but he does give a good hint, ronniedude. at least you can exclude the possibility of syntactic xml errors. | 03:50 |
| ronniedude | "sudo ln -s /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight/ /sys/class/backlight" i get "file exists". I'm going to assume I need to follow the "xorg.config" file steps? | 03:54 |
| wxl | what does /sys/class/backlight link to? | 03:55 |
| wxl | oh hm | 03:55 |
| wxl | actually that might be wrong | 03:55 |
| wxl | on my system /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight is the link | 03:56 |
| wxl | feel free to suggest an edit and get the bonus points on askubuntu :) | 03:57 |
| wxl | wait a minute | 03:58 |
| wxl | i'm thinking about this wrong | 03:58 |
| ronniedude | oh? | 03:59 |
| wxl | that command says "make a file called intel_backlight in /sys/class/backlight and link it to the intel_backlight in /sys/devices/pciblahblahblah" | 03:59 |
| ronniedude | is the askubuntu steps wrong? | 04:00 |
| wxl | and it's complaining it's already there | 04:00 |
| ronniedude | yes it is | 04:00 |
| ronniedude | right | 04:00 |
| wxl | where does it link to? | 04:00 |
| ronniedude | how can i check? | 04:00 |
| wxl | ls -al /sys/class/backlight/ | 04:01 |
| ronniedude | got this: http://pastebin.com/eJyMw5jX | 04:02 |
| wxl | that looks like it's set up | 04:07 |
| wxl | and it STILL doesn't work | 04:07 |
| wxl | ? | 04:07 |
| ronniedude | let me try once more then a reboot then if it still doesnt work ill switch to ubuntu-mate and try that one out :P | 04:08 |
| wxl | well don't try the link again | 04:08 |
| wxl | just try xbacklight again | 04:08 |
| ronniedude | kk | 04:08 |
| ronniedude | xbacklight is still bitching at me :/ | 04:08 |
| ronniedude | sorry language | 04:08 |
| ronniedude | forgot | 04:08 |
| ronniedude | let me try a reboot who knows | 04:09 |
| ronniedude | brb | 04:09 |
| ronniedude_ | wxl: hey! it works now! | 04:12 |
| wxl | there ya go | 04:12 |
| ronniedude_ | and you said reboots werent necessary :P | 04:12 |
| ronniedude_ | haha | 04:12 |
| wxl | probably wasn't | 04:12 |
| ronniedude_ | a | 04:12 |
| ronniedude_ | probably | 04:12 |
| wxl | probably could just have reloaded intel_backlight | 04:13 |
| ronniedude_ | Also the hotkey i setup for it in the xml file is working now too | 04:13 |
| wxl | there | 04:13 |
| ronniedude_ | well the good thing is im on an ssd so reboot is fast | 04:13 |
| ronniedude_ | there goes my clone ^ | 04:14 |
| wxl | if you register your nick it's easy to get rid of those | 04:14 |
| ronniedude_ | ill leave that for later, now i have to start importing my chromebook's particular asound.state file and configure the pulseaudio files too :P | 04:16 |
| ronniedude_ | because right now i dont have sound | 04:16 |
| ronniedude_ | thanks google | 04:16 |
| ronniedude_ | thankfully ive done this before and lubuntu uses the same alsa and pulseaudio packages | 04:17 |
| ronniedude_ | ok and i found out why my sound up and down commands arent working either: "amixer -q sset Master 3%+ unmute" gives me "amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0" | 04:26 |
| ronniedude_ | I'm assuming I have to tell amixer to associate Master with a set of controls? | 04:27 |
| wxl | have you loaded up alsamixer and see if you can use it comfortably? | 04:27 |
| ronniedude_ | Yeah i guess that would be a better starting point | 04:27 |
| ronniedude_ | too many eggs in my basket | 04:28 |
| wxl | if alsamixer works, it's probably just a naming thing | 04:28 |
| wxl | if it doesnt work, you probably have either a messed up alsa configuration or a driver issue | 04:28 |
| ronniedude_ | ill update as info comes up | 04:28 |
| wxl | once you get alsa fixed you can move on to pulseaudio | 04:28 |
| ronniedude_ | right | 04:28 |
