[02:34] <zerorax> how do I change the screen lock and screen timeout settings?
[02:35] <zerorax> it's turning off the screen and sleeping too quickly
[02:37] <zerorax> also how can I tell apt-get to not remove dependencies
[02:37] <zerorax> like I want to remove apps but when i try it also selects lubuntu-desktop
[02:39] <zerorax> also, can I make it so the touchpad is ignored while I'm typing?
[03:02] <krytarik> zerorax: 1.) Depending on your version: https://askubuntu.com/questions/291135/how-to-stop-screen-going-black-after-10-min , 2.) https://askubuntu.com/questions/66257/what-is-the-difference-between-a-meta-package-and-a-package , 3.) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse#Touchpad_settings
[03:02] <zerorax> I fixed all issues
[03:03] <zerorax> except removing things without removing lubuntu-desktoo
[03:03] <krytarik> Yeah..
[03:03] <zerorax> I know there is a flag to not uninstall dependencies, but I forget it
[03:03] <krytarik> Well, that won't work.
[03:03] <zerorax> oh
[03:04] <zerorax> so am I stuck with the programs lubunutu comes with?
[03:04] <zerorax> I try removing from the lubuntu software program, and they just reappear in there
[03:04] <krytarik> No, just read the link.
[03:04] <zerorax> which one?
[03:05] <krytarik> The middle one. :>
[03:05] <zerorax> so... if i uninstall lubuntu-desktop, I'm not really uninstalling software, just the package that says I have all the programs it comes with?
[03:06] <krytarik> Yeah.
[03:06] <zerorax> I see
[03:06] <zerorax> ok thank you
[03:06] <lyn||ian> yes zerorax that is the main point of the lubuntu-desktop package
[03:07] <zerorax> so it's safe to remove things that remove it then right?
[03:07] <lyn||ian> zerorax, yes
[03:07] <zerorax> I get it
[03:34] <Istop> wowee
[04:01] <zerorax__> hi
[12:14] <grandad> hello ... this is a odd chat page
[12:14] <grandad> anyone home?
[12:17] <grandad_> HELP PLEASE....
[12:17] <grandad_> anyone??????
[12:18] <grandad_> is this a joke page?
[12:18] <grandad_> hello
[12:19] <pickle_> hi
[12:19] <grandad_> hi pickle
[12:19] <pickle_> it's not a joke, it's irc... which means people can go a long time without talking
[12:19] <grandad_> i dont know what irc means either
[12:20] <pickle_> internet relay chat... very old technology
[12:20] <grandad_> ha well i,m a very old person... but still cant keep up with this...
[12:21] <lrojas> grandad_: when did you started using computers?
[12:21] <lrojas> irc is from back in the late 70's i think
[12:22] <lrojas> my bad
[12:22] <pickle_> 1988
[12:22] <lrojas> is actually 1988
[12:22] <lrojas> wow.. i honestly thought it was older
[12:22] <grandad_> well using them since 1975 but understanding them... never
[12:23] <lrojas> i could swear it was contenporary to archie, veronica and gopher
[12:23] <lrojas> grandad_: how can we help?
[12:24] <pickle_> how did you find your way to a chat channel about lubuntu?
[12:24] <lrojas> i think most likely he is connecting via a web interface some where
[12:24] <grandad_> i am trying so hard.. i have installed from a "usb"  this lubuntu thing.. but it keeps saying something about reading outside hdo on start up with a page of gibber jabber
[12:24] <lrojas> hence his question of if this page a joke
[12:27] <grandad_> i followed a "link " think from lubuntu search on google to get here.
[12:27] <pickle_> sure, but even so... a semi-obscure linux distro?
[12:28] <pickle_> so you're trying out lubuntu eh, nice
[12:28] <grandad_> yup support for windows leaves a bad taste ....
[12:32] <pickle_> well, there is online support for lubuntu, and this is a good place...
[12:32] <pickle_> but if you want help with a problem, you need to be as detailed as possible about errors etc
[12:36] <grandad_> ah ok... i went to other sites.... they all assume high levels of understnding ie... grubs ....oh i dunno i gave up .. it was like listening to a different language. i dont know how to navigate to items as ,as said all help assumes you know where these ... files?... are.. and that one knows how to alter them... error  reading out side hdo press any key is the message i get when starting.
[12:38] <lrojas> grandad_: i am sorry to say this
[12:39] <lrojas> grandad_: i think you will need to find a local geek that takes a look in person to your system... you seem determined to learn linux, and that is good... but you lack the necesary toolset to be able to request/understand support on irc.. :(
[12:42] <pickle_> indeed
[13:08] <zerorax> Is there any guides on compiling ubuntu from source?
[13:08] <zerorax> like, everything...
[14:09] <stef204> hi, i installed firefox 53 from ubuntuzilla, BUT this build does not pick up libvlcplugin.so (which IS installed) .  So no audio.  Suggestions on how to fix? I imagine symlink but cannot find where
[14:10] <stef204> just trying to find out how to make ubuntuzilla pick up the already installed libvlcplugin.so
[14:21] <stef204> just got  suggestion to install pulse audio did so and FF from ubuntuzilla now works
[14:21] <stef204> so that is good
[14:22] <stef204> I still would like to know how to make FF from ubuntuzilla pick up libvlcplugin.so I believe, no idea why it is not seeing it
[14:27] <leszek> stef204: libvlcplugin.so for what ? FF turned off npapi support for everything except flash player
[14:32] <stef204> leszek: ok, I'm not up to date on the latest news on FF
[14:33] <stef204> leszek: so to play embedded videos, in different formats with the FF 53, no need for extra anything ?
[14:34] <stef204> all video embedded formats are now handled internally? Am i understanding this right (except for flash)?
[14:46] <stef204> ok, i read about what you mentioned. Starting with 52 i believe plugin support got killed. So as you said, vlcplugin not needed. Unless on uses the ESR version.
[14:56] <leszek> stef204: basically yes. And html5 internal player should handle anything gstreamer can handle
[14:57] <stef204> leszek: ok, thanks for pointing that out to me. I usually derivatives of FF and wasn't up to date on latest developments.
[18:31] <Kamilion> So, uh, I'm having a bit of a serious problem.
[18:31] <Kamilion> http://puu.sh/vuRIR/92f3342c3b.png
[18:31] <Kamilion> 17.04's desktop is completely corrupt in virtualbox.
[18:32] <Kamilion> can't change VTs, whole VM is no longer responding
[18:36] <Kamilion> aaaaaand just crashed the virtualbox. What the heck.
[18:37] <Kamilion> Same behavior on 64bit and 32bit.
[20:09] <suncokret> hello... so, lubuntu 14.04 don't have support anymore?
[21:48] <zztopless> howdy... giving lubuntu a go again after years of kubuntu then mint-kde for my nix vm, and while overall I'm loving it, especially with how resource-frugal it is after kde-plasma.  Just a minor issue (more annoyance) is not being able to put icons on and set a different wallpaper for my second monitor - is there a way to do this?
