[02:22] <n-iCe> connect the laptop to ethernet or usb

[02:30] <n-iCe> anyway to make it work, you need internet
[02:30] <n-iCe> to download and install the drivers
[02:31] <tonyn> ya
[02:31] <tonyn> alright ty for trying
[05:43] <that1guy> I have installeed lubuntu on a laptop that has a broken screen. I have it hooked up to an external monitor but half of the window is still on the broken screen so I cannot access anything on it. Is there any work around?
[06:14] <lynorian> that1guy, can you press alt f2 and run lxrandr when you have the cursor on the working screen?
[06:29] <that1guy> nothing seemed to have happened besides the run command went away
[06:30] <that1guy> got it
[06:30] <that1guy> thank you!
[06:36] <that1guy> when I change it to not run the laptop lcd, the external monitor goes way off center. Would a restart fix that?
[14:26] <justin_> hi.. on a healthy up-to-date lubuntu 17, i just updated packages, it grub/bootloader was one of the updates, and now my system no longer boots.  Boot-Repair doesn't seem to fix it, I'm assuming because it's only trying to reinstall the broken install from the update
[17:08] <guy_fawkes> hello all, I'm having a little network trouble
[17:09] <guy_fawkes> I don't have a dns server enabled, and I'm not sure how to configure it
[17:10] <guy_fawkes> for example, `ping 8.8.8.8` works great, but `ping dns.google.com` gives "ping: dns.google.com: name or service not known"
[17:20] <tsimonq2> guy_fawkes: Yeah, that's a problem I've been having that's one of those bugs that's terribly hard to consistently reproduce...
[17:21] <tsimonq2> guy_fawkes: What I've found helps is if you edit /etc/resolv.conf, remove *everything* in there, and add the line `nameserver 8.8.8.8`
[17:21] <tsimonq2> guy_fawkes: But I agree, it's a bit weird :/
[17:28] <guy_fawkes> thanks for the help, i'll try that :)
[20:53] <Fallen[m]> Hi
[20:53] <Fallen[m]> How does one disable blinking cursor in Lubuntu?
[20:53] <Fallen[m]> Please help
[20:55] <wxl> Fallen[m]: in the terminal?
[20:57] <Fallen[m]> Yeah
[20:57] <Fallen[m]> Thanks for replying man I thought the room is dead or something
[20:57] <Fallen[m]> Infact everywhere.
[20:57] <wxl> edit > preferences > style > cursor blink
[20:57] <wxl> IRC is a thing that generally requires patience. people idle away and look at it here and there.
[20:57] <Fallen[m]> True - thanks man.
[20:58] <wxl> np
[20:58] <Fallen[m]> I figured the terminal. Its easier in Terminals which give that as an option how about other text editors etc.
[20:58] <wxl> well there are no generalities
[20:58] <wxl> which specific application are you referring to?
[20:59] <Fallen[m]> Ha! TBH if it can work in editors for example any text editor - or even QT Creator.
[20:59] <Fallen[m]> Inside the browser
[21:00] <wxl> as i said, there's no generalities
[21:00] <Fallen[m]> hmm ok. Thank you. How about the title bar? Can I get rid of that? :-) Any theme you maybe aware of?
[21:00] <wxl> leafpad, for example, does offer anything
[21:00] <wxl> you could always download the source, edit the code, and recompile it
[21:00] <wxl> does not offer antyhing
[21:01] <Fallen[m]> wxl: thanks pal.
[21:02] <wxl> you can either make a theme or look for one on box looks
[21:02] <wxl> or whatever it's called
[21:03] <Fallen[m]> yeah those are pretty archaic I would say some are as old as 5 years old.
[21:03] <Fallen[m]> I will stick to vanilla
[21:04] <wxl> you can always edit the theme yourself
[21:06] <wxl> http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Themes
[21:06] <Fallen[m]> Thank you. Wxl more than helpful.
[21:08] <wxl> Fallen[m]: also in the two config options there's a section for title layout. you might try to remove them all.
[21:09] <wxl> i'm gonna try this in a sec once this vm pops up
[21:13] <wxl> yep that works :)
[21:13] <wxl> Fallen[m]: ^^
