[00:00] not a reboot. just an openbox restart [00:00] ok, now begins me having to fuck around with my alsa and pulseaudio configs (kill me now) [00:00] rip me for cheaping out on a chromebook [00:01] !language | ronniedude [00:01] my bad [00:01] * wxl kicks the dumb bot [00:01] anyways the `openbox --reconfigure` command will do the trick for you [00:01] hey okay! ill try that now [00:01] 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 [00:02] 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 [00:03] well, we're not killing anything :) [00:03] oh true this is a built in openbox command [00:03] btw this is really useful http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings [00:03] as is this http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions [00:04] well i mainly wanted to get my super key bound and ill leave the rest to xbindkeys [00:07] going afk, thanks wxl [00:07] np ronniedude have fun === garywhite is now known as js209 === js209 is now known as garywhite [02:56] well for one thing @wxl lubuntu's install size is about 1/4 that of mintMate [03:28] 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. [03:32] 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 [03:37] Should be able to *copy* /usr/share/lubuntu/openbox/rc.xml to ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [03:38] Unit193 speaks wise words [03:39] ronniedude: why the switch to Lubuntu from MintMATE? [03:40] ronniedude: But yes, one can also switch out Window Managers in LXDE. [03:40] mate was a little too taxing on my system, im running a dual core atom in this chromebook [03:41] well, that's one of the benefits of openbox: it's lightweight [03:41] yeah i know :P [03:41] when idle in mate i was sit at 1.2/2GB ram [03:42] now im about 900MB with firefox open [03:42] so clear difference [03:42] so if resource usage is your issue, maybe don't mess with it [03:42] wxl: Nah man, he can always switch to i3. [03:43] 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] Unit193: well, i use awesome but i bet most folks would find configuring in lua a trite more difficult than xml XD [03:44] ok well i found my problem, xbacklight thinks my output doesnt have backlight capabilities [03:45] "No outputs have backlight property" [03:46] ronniedude: http://askubuntu.com/questions/715306/xbacklight-no-outputs-have-backlight-property-no-sys-class-backlight-folder [03:46] wxl: Can always xmllint --noout on the file, validate before trying. [03:46] 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 [03:50] probably the latter for me :P [03:50] XD [03:50] but he does give a good hint, ronniedude. at least you can exclude the possibility of syntactic xml errors. [03:54] "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? [03:55] what does /sys/class/backlight link to? [03:55] oh hm [03:55] actually that might be wrong [03:56] on my system /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight is the link [03:57] feel free to suggest an edit and get the bonus points on askubuntu :) [03:58] wait a minute [03:58] i'm thinking about this wrong [03:59] oh? [03:59] that command says "make a file called intel_backlight in /sys/class/backlight and link it to the intel_backlight in /sys/devices/pciblahblahblah" [04:00] is the askubuntu steps wrong? [04:00] and it's complaining it's already there [04:00] yes it is [04:00] right [04:00] where does it link to? [04:00] how can i check? [04:01] ls -al /sys/class/backlight/ [04:02] got this: http://pastebin.com/eJyMw5jX [04:07] that looks like it's set up [04:07] and it STILL doesn't work [04:07] ? [04:08] 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] well don't try the link again [04:08] just try xbacklight again [04:08] kk [04:08] xbacklight is still bitching at me :/ [04:08] sorry language [04:08] forgot [04:09] let me try a reboot who knows [04:09] brb [04:12] wxl: hey! it works now! [04:12] there ya go [04:12] and you said reboots werent necessary :P [04:12] haha [04:12] probably wasn't [04:12] a [04:12] probably [04:13] probably could just have reloaded intel_backlight [04:13] Also the hotkey i setup for it in the xml file is working now too [04:13] there [04:13] well the good thing is im on an ssd so reboot is fast [04:14] there goes my clone ^ [04:14] if you register your nick it's easy to get rid of those [04:16] 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] because right now i dont have sound [04:16] thanks google [04:17] thankfully ive done this before and lubuntu uses the same alsa and pulseaudio packages [04:26] 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" [04:27] I'm assuming I have to tell amixer to associate Master with a set of controls? [04:27] have you loaded up alsamixer and see if you can use it comfortably? [04:27] Yeah i guess that would be a better starting point [04:28] too many eggs in my basket [04:28] if alsamixer works, it's probably just a naming thing [04:28] if it doesnt work, you probably have either a messed up alsa configuration or a driver issue [04:28] ill update as info comes up [04:28] once you get alsa fixed you can move on to pulseaudio [04:28] right [08:05] Hi every one [08:07] I wanna create a php "program", and a wanna use it in a internal network, but, i dont wanna the people steal my project, once in a time they will have access to machine. but they will never hava the root password. is it possible? [16:47] wxl u here? [16:48] nice! how do i "download a blob" > https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware/+/refs/heads/master/intel/fw_sst_0f28.bin-48kHz_i2s_master [16:49] as per the guide on: http://askubuntu.com/questions/499923/ubuntu-14-04-intel-chromebook-no-sound [16:50] or anyone [19:03] bonsoir es ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider a installer lunbuntu [19:04] J' ai une vielle machine avec seulement 256Mo de RAM [19:06] !fr | Nono [19:06] Nono: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement.
