[07:07] <lewis1711> is there anyway to get "media keys" working? like pressing the volume up thing on my latop and getting that little popup that shows the volume level. ditto with play/pause for media players
[07:08] <holstein> lewis1711: sure... i chose to install some extra software for my machine... if they show up, you can map them.. what do i suggest? just map what you want to the volume and dont worry with a popup..
[07:10] <lewis1711> holstein: I do like the popup boxes though for volume though
[07:10] <holstein> lewis1711: sure.. you can add what you like.. just keep in mind the 'L' in lubuntu is from LXDE.. "light"
[07:11] <holstein> the more you add, the more unlike that it can become
[07:11] <holstein> what do i do? i just use the same notifications from main ubuntu...
[07:12] <holstein> lewis1711: cheers... i need to run.. most of these questions are not lubuntu specific if its dead in here and you want to try #ubuntu.... cheers!
[07:12] <lewis1711> holstein: how do you do that?
[07:12] <lewis1711> oh ok, laters

[17:06] <fees> hi. I have a little problem after changed the screen resolution in my Lubuntu 12.10. The login screen shows fine (lightdm). Entering with Openbox profile works great, but with Lubuntu the monitor turns off. I followed this help http://goo.gl/70YgA but just change the res of lightdm with Xorg. Any suggestion?
[17:08] <holstein> i would just try arandr ...try a custom xorg.conf
[17:16] <fees> holstein the thing is xrandr says "Can't open display" when I tried from Ctrl+Alt+F1, and I created the custom Xorg with configure and moved it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but only affected the lightdm login screen. Is there a file that keep the configuration of Monitor Settings so I could change it from the shell?
[17:17] <holstein> fees: sometimes i use a live CD such as puppy or knoppix.. i get the desktop as i want it, and copy the xorg.conf to my *buntu
[17:22] <fees> holstein I have a copy of Lubuntu 12.10 in my netbook as well and no Xorg.conf not found in it
