lubot<brli7848> To the panel03:12
Laurelit doesnt work.  iget a red circle with a line through it.  it wont let me add03:19
Laurelplus the gui software center freezes and never opens properly03:20
Laureli am on 1gb ram, yes.  but i thought that was the idea of this OS?03:20
Laureli have 'quick launch' in the widgets.  no idea if it sactivated  or not., cant se any options.   but NOTHING will go into the task bar03:21
Laureli just want to find one lightweight os i can use.  it seems an impossible task. all are not working in some way or another03:22
Laureloh ok.. everyones gone napping again..03:24
Laurelmaybe i'll have to try xubuntu again.. this lubuntu is clearly unfinished and like a beta03:25
LaurelJIB JIB03:35
LaurelUbbit Ubbit03:36
Laurelfuk me this is about as useful as a chocolate teapot03:59
Laurelwhy even have this room open? ive been hare about 2 hours and had one reply03:59
lynorianLaurel: lubuntu task bar does not add stuff to launch from the task bar just the quick launch04:00
lynorianif you have an open window it shows up in the taskbar04:01
Laurel? i dont understand04:01
Laureli want to add an app icon from the menu in to the task bar so i can quick launch it. but it refuses t oadd04:01
lynorianyou need to drag to the quick launch to do that not that taskbar04:02
Laureland sorry, i dont even understand your reply04:02
Laurel?04:02
Laureldrag to the widget?04:02
lynorianyes to quick launch to launch stuff04:03
lynorianand then left click on it04:03
lynoriansorry I was eating dinner04:03
Laurelwher is the quick launch area?04:03
lynorianleft of the task bar by default04:03
Laureli cant se anything04:03
Laurelthere is nothing 'left of the taskbar'04:04
Laurelthe task bar takes the whole bottom screen. nothing else there, and it wont go ANYWHERE in the taskbar04:05
lynorianhave you rearagned your panel04:05
Laurelno04:05
Laurelunless my OS is crashed.  i tried installing midori, but had to just risk a ubuntu instlal.  it didnt work.  maybe that upset the system.. no idea04:06
Laurelit salmost impossible to get help so i had to try to do it myself04:06
Laurelplus the GUI software center is unusable.  just freezes.  1gb ram no tenough?  thought it was04:06
Laurelplus some apps wont even let me drag them onto the desktop.. so im trying to created a shortcunt using 'gnome'  orsomething.. but it simpossible becasuse i dont know the location of the executable file. and cannot find how to find it04:07
Laureleverything else works fast.. but my gui store freezes everytime04:08
Laurelcan anyone help me with this mess or should i just forget it ?04:08
lynoriandiscover or muon04:08
Laurelsorry?04:10
Laureldiscover.  totally freezes04:10
Laurelthe other is fine04:10
lynorianthen use muon although it is a bit more complicated04:10
Laurelwell not totally. it takes agees for anything to appear.  and when it dies nothing ,moves04:10
Laureli tried muon.. manafged to install 'SMTube'  but gues swaht.. it WILL NOT leave the panel and let me put quicka launch icon04:11
Laurelsame as chromuim.  but at least chroium lsts me put a shortcut on dekstop. SMTube wone even let me do that04:11
Laureli think his OS is too much beta.  i know i cant use linux well.  but this just isnt working anyway04:12
lynorianalthough keep in imnd the more things you install and keep running the more RAM useage will be no matter how lightweight the base04:12
Laurelcan you help me or shall i just go to another room and try yet another lightweight OS?  None of them work for me04:13
Laurelive got nothing in there.   nothing04:13
Laureljust wanted a lighter browser than firefox.  chromium is.   and wanted a youtube app as i cant watch youtube in browser with 1gb ram04:13
Laurelall the other apps i open are pretty fast.. except the gui for downloads04:13
lynorianvlc can if you copy paste the url in04:14
Laurelbut u still ahve t osurf to get the url.  not youtube apps?  like SMTube works sometimes.  but i cannot get a god damn short cut on my desktop04:14
Laurelhow ridiculous04:14
lynoriando you know how to use lxqt-runner04:15
Laurelofcourse not. never heard of it04:15
Laurelthis linux is obviously for hobbyistsm not everyday casual users04:15
lynorianpress alt+f2 and start typing what you want04:15
Laureli did,  the word appeared and nothing else happened04:16
Laurela notepad then.. nice to know ..04:16
Laurelplease somebody help me ive beeen trying to get this compute rrunning for days04:17
Laurelcan anyone just bloody help me?04:17
Laurelthething is, this computer is not for me.  if it was,  alf+f2 is fine.  but its for someone who needs a desktop with the links directly on it.04:18
LaurelSo its easy as possible.  the user WILL NOT be searching fo rstuff i assure you04:19
Laurelso, why the hell cant i just add a few shortcuts to the taskbar?04:19
Laurelif yo udont know just tell me please04:20
Laurelid rather not waste another 2 hours here04:20
Laurelcan yo uhelp or no?04:20
lynorianLaurel: I have been telling you how to not sure why your install is doing what it is04:20
lubot<brli7848> because taskbar isn't for that purpose...04:20
Laureli need shortcuts.  even on desktop will do04:20
lubot<brli7848> you want lightweight, you need to split functionalities04:20
Laurelor is desktop also not for purpuse?04:20
Laurelwell, i alraedy have shortcut sON the taskabar anyway,  firefox.  so why cant i put my own ?04:21
lubot<brli7848> so, taskbar is for taskbar, where you see window running, and manage it, and quick start is for quick start, where you add shortcut to it where it is on a panel, so you can start application instantly04:21
Laurelwell, what IS quickstart?  pictuer please?04:21
lubot<brli7848> THAT IS NOT THE BLOODY TASKBAR04:21
Laureli have no idea..  firefox is in the taskbar. YES?  i want to put other thing sthere too04:22
Laurelfailing that, in the desktop is fine04:22
Laurelbut the desktop shortcuts dont work properly. AND the SMTube wont even let me put on desktop04:22
lynorianhttps://manual.lubuntu.me/5/5.1/lxqt-panel.html this has pictures of it note the quick luanch is to the left and firefox is the icon only in the quick launch and the taksbar has the window title04:23
lynorianthe whole thing is called the panel04:23
Laurelit salready in the quick launch. i need it on taskbar04:24
lubot<brli7848> IT CAN'T04:24
Laurelthis is nuts04:24
Laurelwhy is firefow allowed to be there but no other app?04:24
lubot<brli7848> the fact is firefox isn't...04:25
lynorianpcmanfm-qt is there as well04:25
Laurelwell.. where ever it IS. Can i put other app there too ?04:25
lubot<brli7848> THEY ARE ALL UNDER THE QUICK LAUNCH WIDGET04:25
lubot<brli7848> NOT THE BLOODY TASKBAR04:25
Laureland how ot put other apps there?04:25
Laurelso how to put them there04:26
lubot<brli7848> you just drag the icon from the launcher to there04:26
Laurelit didnt work04:26
lubot<brli7848> did you keep press the mouse?04:26
lubot<brli7848> try to move it in between the icons, since the margin may not trigger04:27
Laurelok, now it works. that is minute. no room for error04:27
Laureli recommend the devs give more room for error.  its was miniscule04:27
Laureland how about the 'smtube'  that wont even let me drag it anywhere?04:27
lubot<brli7848> what?04:27
Laureli have an app called SMTube  but it wont evne let me START to drag the icon anywhere04:28
Laureli need to add it to the 'not taskbar' area also04:28
lubot<brli7848> and, even though lubuntu is meant for lightweight, the software center itself isn't.04:28
lubot<brli7848> you don't need to start to drag, just look for the icon in the launcher.04:29
lubot<brli7848> ...if there is any04:29
Laureli said before.. this is for someone else. they will NOT be going in the lanucherl i need it simple04:29
LaurelI need the smtube shortcut on th edesktop somewhere04:29
Laurelok. i managed to find it.  damn that was hard just doing that04:30
Laureli have two more thing sthen i am done.  i only need the laptop to do a few basic things04:31
LaurelCan this OS run skype ?04:31
Laureland can it install a better youtube viewer 'GTK viewer'04:32
LaurelApart from that, i will not be using any other features04:32
lynorianskype doens't run the best on linux I have head04:32
Laurela brightiness slider on the desktop would be nice... but for some reason the devs didnt think so.. oh well04:32
Laurelskype runs nice in ubuntu04:32
Laureli use it often04:32
lynorianIt should run the same as on ubuntu04:33
Laurelbut i cnat install it here04:33
Laurelubunti is easy. lubuntu is not04:33
Laurelor 'GTK viewer'  ?  as SMTube hardly works04:37
gubbinsi am here04:42
Laureli tried 'xubuntu'  im pretty convinced lubuntu 19 is faster04:42
LaurelJust the gui software center is unusable.  and the apps and general use a  bit harder to install and figure out04:43
Laurelif i could oipen the gui i can at least see if they have any youtube stuff.04:43
Laurelany ideas?04:47
Laurelany youtube viewer /browser app that works in lubuntu 19?04:48
Laureldamn.. everyone left.. i guess another 2 hours wait04:50
krytarikLaurel: This ain't how volunteer support works best btw.04:52
Laurelsorry, didnt understand that,04:52
LaurelI'm not a hater. i have no bias.  When Lubuntu works i am blow naway by it sspeed with just a 1gb ram netbook. absolutely blown away. Chromium, and most of teh desktop apps.. incredible.   when it doesnt work, im totally lost though lol04:53
Laurelall i need is a chat client that can handle skype. and a bette rmore reliable youtube app viewer, and its perfect.  totally usable.  even on a utterly useless 2010 netbook04:54
Laureljust cant go into the gui software center tho.  wont need to if i can get the few things i need anyway04:55
gubbinsno ideas anyone ?04:59
gubbinsi cat even search myself cos i dont know what runs and what doesnt.  'lxqt' copatible ive no idea04:59
gubbinsits me agin, on my netbook,, chromium much better then firefox on 1gb04:59
JohnDoe_71Ruspalemoon?05:01
tomreynabout:performance in firefox may help identify the bottleneck there05:01
tomreynbut 1 GB RAM is just... not much05:01
tomreynzram might help a bit05:01
gubbinschromium is usable as abrowser on here.   as long as i dont go youtube05:02
gubbinswhich is why is want a youtube viewer that reiable and works with lubuntu  1905:02
tomreyntry vlc05:02
gubbinsit works. but still haev to surf the web to get the links.   better to use an app05:03
gubbinsill instal zram also if it helps.  but how?05:04
tomreynit compresses data written to your ram. meaning RAM access gets slower, but more fits in,05:05
gubbinsyou recomend it for a 1gb netnook?05:06
tomreyni recommend acquiring more ram.05:06
tomreynand zram as a fall back option if thats not an option05:06
gubbinsits not an option05:07
gubbinscan you please help me finish off this installation. im almost there05:07
gubbinsits hard to catfh anyone here for help05:07
tomreyni've never installed zram myself, just read about others doing it.05:08
gubbinsafte i get suggestions in here, im left with no way to actually perform them05:08
gubbinsok05:09

Laureleither way.. im amazed how swift lubuntu 19 is07:33
zap0upgraded 18.04  to 18.10  ....  now i want to upgrade to 19.0407:34
Laurelregardless of many of my pleas in here falling on deaf ears.   lubuntu is an amazing acheivement07:34
Laurelit has no right to be that fast on a 1gb intel atom 2010 netbook07:35
krytarikzap0: Are you just announcing your progress on that, or do you need any help?07:36
zap0Laurel what netbook have you got..07:36
Laurelacer aspire one d255  1gb ram07:36
zap0i just upgraded to 18.10  on a similar ^H^H  probably the same as that.. it now flies along!07:37
Laureland in lubuntu 19, with google chrome, and using 'SMTube' for playing youtube videos at 360p.   its astounding.    only thing that wont run well is the gui software app. just freezes.07:37
zap0krytarik i was wondering if someone could direct me to that document that describes the upgrade process07:37
Laurelkrytarik thinks im stupid07:38
Laurelzap0  wat method have you discovefrd is best for watching youtube ?07:38

Laurelmy netbook is behaving like somethin with 2, maybe even 4gb and with a half decent processor.  what sorcery is this07:46
Laurellubuntu runs maybe faster or as fast as puppy.  but looks pleasing on the eyes07:46
Laurelwhos responsible for this lubuntu. the guy is a genius.  just wish he'd put a brightness slider toggle on the taskbar though07:47
cetLaurel: hahah, glad you like it07:58
cetLaurel: you could probably do something about brightness by mapping a shortcut for xbacklight07:58
Laureltrue @ cet  but its a bit to complicated for me08:06
cetYou'll get used08:08
Laurelhmm  also everytime i  start chromium, it says 'make default?'   i make it default but it doesnt remrember.  every time i start it it asks08:09
DiscoDynamitehow can we set right click for paste in LXTerminal ?08:19
zap0DD, that would be awesome idea08:32
DiscoDynamiteyes, currently the right-click is blinded as "menu".  trying to figure out if we can modify that08:34

sammieJust installed 19.04. Excellent!16:52
lubot<Indianosr911> really?16:53
lubot<Indianosr911> any different from 18.10 ?16:53
sammieOverall, it seems more polished and performance is very good.16:53
lubot<Indianosr911> QT right?16:53
sammieYes, QT. Looks really modern and is smooth.16:54
lubot<Indianosr911> for me I"m facing lot of network issues16:54
sammieIs it the network applet in the system tray? That is a bit clunky.16:54
lubot<Indianosr911> the gui tools for managing network are kind of missing16:55
lubot<Indianosr911> Yup16:55
lubot<Indianosr911> So you gotta' install Connman UI16:55
sammieIt's slightly better in 19.04. Enough so, that I find it useable.16:55
sammieWhat is Conman UI? I haven't heard of that.16:55
lubot<Indianosr911> 😏16:55
lubot<Indianosr911> even I didn't till I had to download ...16:55
sammieI'll have to look into that. Thanks.16:56
lubot<Indianosr911> that's a network manager frontend in QT16:56
sammie19.04 is also pretty light on RAM, not like 18.04, but it's still pretty good. About 300-500MB for a base system.16:57
lubot<Indianosr911> really...16:57
lubot<Indianosr911> but shouldn't be a major one from 18.10 ..correct?16:57
sammieYes, not something you'd install on really old hardware, but still pretty light.16:58
lubot<Indianosr911> okie Dokie , thanks!16:58

lubot<SamuelBanya> Hey guys lubuntu question. I used to get an Open PGP key authentication message on my lubuntu laptop at home. I don't anymore. What's weirder is that i connected to my work wifi and was able to receive the message normally (about 1 min after booting). Is there anything within preferences I can check to see how to reenable the popu23:41
lubotp? I ask because I use openpgp so that my neomutt can refresh my mailbox for my actual email23:41
Laurelhmm23:54
