[08:19] <laceylaney> Does anyone know if it's possible top hide the process list from htop ?? I only want to show the meter section....
[08:19] <tsimonq2> I don't think so
[08:19] <tsimonq2> Sorry
[08:20] <laceylaney> Just asking because I seen some pics of unix desktops running htop with only the meteres section loaded....
[08:20] <tsimonq2> Hmm
[08:20] <tsimonq2> I dunno :)
[08:21] <laceylaney> ok ^^
[08:22] <laceylaney> ok so app you just have to resize your terminal window until the bottom half is hidden....
[11:32] <ca-on-adam> Hi there, two things: the social media icons at the base of https://lubuntu.me/, with the exception of the RSS feed icon, are all links to social media sites owned by either Google, Facebook or Microsoft, all which are corporations which I feel are not safe to interact with from privacy and freedom standpoints.
[11:33] <tsimonq2> ca-on-adam: We have Mastodon.
[11:33] <tsimonq2> Wordpress won't let us link it there.
[11:33] <tsimonq2> However, we do heavily promote https://lubuntu.me/links which has that boldly listed.
[11:34] <tsimonq2> I mean, it's not like the icons are unclear, correct? :)
[11:34] <tsimonq2> I personally don't have a problem with it, but I get your argument.
[11:35] <ca-on-adam> Also, I don't know who to talk to, but I have been granted my sole use of a server by another member of the Ubuntu community, and one of the informal conditions was to use it best I can to help with *buntu projects, but they mentioned Lubuntu specifically.  I'm not a programmer but I have a limited amount of experience with QA in the Mageia project and I am very comfortable with the command line.
[11:35] <tsimonq2> I'm the Lubuntu Release Manager and an Ubuntu Developer. :)
[11:36] <tsimonq2> ca-on-adam: amd64 or i386?
[11:36] <ca-on-adam> tsimonq2: I will look into Mastodon, as it was already on my radar.  But like there are less dangerous networks like Diaspora that I have a profile on, it'd be nice to see a presence there.
[11:37] <tsimonq2> I agree that Mastodon is, well, dangerous... :P
[11:37] <tsimonq2> wxl doesn't agree with me XD
[11:38] <tsimonq2> ca-on-adam: But if you want to create a Lubuntu account there, give us the username and password just in case you go MIA, and maintain it yourself, I have no problem with that.
[11:38] <tsimonq2> ca-on-adam: I can get you high-quality artwork for the logo if you want.
[11:39] <ca-on-adam> tsimonq2: the server is 64-bit, fully hypervised so I can swap kernels.
[11:39] <ca-on-adam> tsimonq2: but I've got some 32-bit hardware sitting around the house if 32-bit testing is needed more.
[11:40] <tsimonq2> ca-on-adam: https://lubuntu.me/this-week-in-lubuntu-development-7/
[11:40] <tsimonq2> ca-on-adam: The real story behind that is I no longer have access to real hardware i386 machines.
[11:41] <tsimonq2> ca-on-adam: So I don't feel comfortable maintaining it unless some people are willing to step up and test on real hardware, and fix platform-specific bugs,.
[11:41]  * ca-on-adam catching up...
[11:41] <tsimonq2> No problem :)
[11:44] <tsimonq2> ca-on-adam: The tl;dr is, if you'd like to help, the main place to pay attention to is #lubuntu-devel. There we post calls for testing, talk about implementation details, etc. If you need any help with anything, please do feel free to reach out with questions. :)
[11:45]  * ca-on-adam also in race condition to move old stuff out of hard drive while torrenting Lubuntu & not enough free space
[11:46] <tsimonq2> Ah. :)
[11:49] <ca-on-adam> tsimonq2: I have at least 3 Intel P4s, a P2 and P3, 1 ASUS netbook with atom CPU locked-in as 32bit, 1 imac G3 and a powermac G5 at my volunteer place, I guess the only thing I don't have is an AMD 32-bit computer.
[11:50] <tsimonq2> ca-on-adam: No problem; your help would still be appreciated.
[11:54] <ca-on-adam> I had an AMD K6 desktop lying around but I got rid of it as a 'scrap trade' to receive some 64-bit low end systems headed for scrap anyway.
[11:54] <ca-on-adam> 350MHz or something like that.
[11:55] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> Which volunteer place is this through, out of curiosity?
[12:03] <ca-on-adam> http://planetgeek.ca
[12:06] <ca-on-adam> I also volunteered at Toronto Free-Net for a number of years, but not anymore and that's a rant best saved for an offtopic channel :)
[12:11] <egy> hello lubuntu. I have a text file containing ascii data, however pcman recongizes it as "GTK+ Builder" and not as ascii
[12:12] <egy> also, I create a plain text document and just type "ifconfig" as content, save the file, and then pcman recongizes it as an audio file (SoundTracker Amiga)
[12:15] <tsimonq2> ca-on-adam: Ah nice :)
[12:16] <tsimonq2> egy: These are certainly edge cases...
[12:18] <egy> my first text file that turned rouge (the gtk+ builder) is caused by some txt related to "networking"
[12:19] <egy> like dig, tracepath, traceroute, ...etc.
[12:20] <egy> I manually traced the issue when it was like 20 lines long, and I found that lines beginning with "ifconfig" or containing net addresses (192.126....) causes it to turn rogue
[12:20] <egy> I prefixed "ifconfig" with some ## and put the arguments below it
[12:20] <egy> but now as I am typing more stuff in the file, it turned again rogue again (gtk+ builder)
[12:21] <egy> hope that shed any light on any issue
[13:04] <ca-on-adam> egy: if you're willing to adopt a non Linux-y habit, I've done pretty well by appending .txt to text/ASCII files and it seems, by way of friendly attitudes toward Windows users, to respect that.
[13:05] <ca-on-adam> "it" being Thunar, pcmanfm, Nautilus/Caja, etc.
[13:08] <egy> ca-on-adam: you're absolutely right :)
[13:09] <egy> i'll append .txt for these roguelike files
