[00:45] <SoWhat> changed from Mint to Lubuntu - what a relief
[00:46] <SoWhat> can you tell me why when running Lubuntu from CD it looks different than after installation?
[00:46] <SoWhat> theme is darker
[00:50] <xsaidx> SoWhat: i guess cus it set up with diffent theme
[00:53] <SoWhat> I tried to find such theme in Preferences -> Change Look and Feel, but I could change only look of windows, but menu stayed the same
[00:56] <xsaidx> SoWhat: maybe ty chanign just the borders
[00:59] <SoWhat> is it possible to find package which changes whole desktop so it looks like, for example, Mac OS X ?
[01:02] <xsaidx> yeh i rember this google macbuntu
[01:03] <xsaidx> SoWhat: google macbuntu theres some theme i saw on webupd8.org
[01:03] <wxl> macbuntu is gnome
[01:07] <xsaidx> wxl: oh i didnt think of that
[01:07] <wxl> yeah....
[01:08] <wxl> although you could get pretty close with the right wallpaper, a different panel, a new menu icon, and some new folder icons.
[01:08] <wxl> doesn't take much
[01:09] <SoWhat> wxl, can I do it with just few clicks or I have to change it all separately ?
[01:10] <wxl> i know of no way to do it easily
[01:10] <wxl> i'd just take the time to do it right
[01:10] <wxl> get really completist and change your default font too
[01:13] <xsaidx> SoWhat: check this out http://sourceforge.net/projects/macbuntu/
[01:14] <SoWhat> thanks!
[01:16] <xsaidx> SoWhat: np

=== pete is now known as skiwithpete
[09:11] <skiwithpete> sup
[09:24] <bioterror> skiwithpete, if you want to ask what's up, join #lubuntu-offtopic ;)
[09:25] <skiwithpete> nah, just announcing my arrival. Was hoping I'd see you though about that spacing problem.
[09:33] <skiwithpete> bioterror, its been closed our group, but nothing seems to fix it yet
[09:41] <bioterror> ahhh
[09:41] <bioterror> it's a duplicate
[09:41] <bioterror> if you mean that you suspend your laptop and when you open lid :D
[09:46] <JohnDoe_71Rus> bioterror: just run livecd 11.10 http://pastebin.com/ryfXNuP8 .xsession-errors
[09:47] <bioterror> it tries to find that GTK3 theme engine
[09:49] <bioterror> mostly GTK related problems :D
[09:57] <JohnDoe_71Rus> bioterror: do you use xscreensaver?
[09:58] <bioterror> JohnDoe_71Rus, not much
[09:58] <bioterror> I'll configure it for blank
[09:59] <bioterror> actually, I disabled it
[09:59] <bioterror> I rather shutdown screen
[09:59] <bioterror> screensaver was for the CRT displays
[09:59] <bioterror> becouse they used to burn image to the screen
[10:00] <bioterror> just like plasma displays
[10:00] <JohnDoe_71Rus> ok. it runnung now. try do this. in menu - change user, select the same user and login. how much time you enter password?
[10:01] <bioterror> you mean logout and log back in?
[10:01] <JohnDoe_71Rus> not logout, change user
[10:01] <JohnDoe_71Rus> but login in the same user
[10:01] <bioterror> no user change here
[10:02] <bioterror> are you using GDM?
[10:02] <JohnDoe_71Rus> in lxdm present to
[10:07] <JohnDoe_71Rus> bioterror: try logout
[10:07] <bioterror> why? :)
[10:13] <JohnDoe_71Rus> i use not the lubuntu, ubuntu+lxde+lubuntu-desktop. do change user(not logout, user is still log in) in gdm i see "user ... login" login in the same user, enter password and then xscreensaver ask password agane
[10:13] <JohnDoe_71Rus> gdm == lxdm
[10:14] <JohnDoe_71Rus> in gdm it's good. enter password one time
[10:23] <JohnDoe_71Rus> I have absolutely got confused. But the problem is. It is necessary to remember sequence and to write down
[11:13] <bioterror> maraz, I was wondering while walking back home from taking my daughter to a day club or something like that, that the xfce4-panel works differently than lxde panel for example. if I remember right hey have exact positions and it can be "locked" to prevent icons moving
[11:14] <bioterror> Unit193, as a xfce-luser, tell us
=== robotman is now known as AlexAv
[12:38] <bioterror> hmmm
[12:38] <bioterror> I had an accident
[12:39] <bioterror> can someone pastebin me /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart
[12:39] <bioterror> :D
[12:40] <bioterror> hey, we have 47 nicks in here :D
[12:43] <iceroot> bioterror: http://paste.ubuntu.com/739137/
[12:43] <bioterror> thanks
[12:51] <bioterror> what
[12:51] <bioterror> xfce4-power-manager.desktop is not by default in /usr/share/applications/
[12:51] <bioterror> and I went and deleted it from /etc/xdg/autostart/ :D
[12:52] <bioterror> if only I could start xfce4-power-manager before that volume icon and nm-applet
[12:54] <bioterror> problem about that icon moving around is in that
[12:55] <bioterror> but if I close the lid and open it, that xfce4-power-manager icon gets first
[12:55] <bioterror> and oh well

[14:44] <Osmodivs_> What's the Lubuntu version of Ctrl-Alt F2 in Nautilus? I want to run a program (GTK-Redshift) everytime my PC starts
[14:48] <bioterror> cp /usr/share/applications/gtk-redshift.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
[14:50] <Osmodivs_> bioterror: Thx, I'll try that.
[14:51] <bioterror> ofcourse I dont know if you have that in /usr/share/applications/
[14:51] <bioterror> but sure you can make a new file into ~/.config/autostart/ like we all do with conky ;)
[16:10] <Sanky> Hello. Figured here would be the best to ask.. With PCManFM, I can easily mount the two disks I have just by clicking on them in the bookmarks; is there any way to do this automatically at login?
[16:10] <Sanky> Sounds dead simple, but yeah.
[16:40] <bioterror> Sanky, yes
[16:40] <bioterror> !fstab | Sanky
[16:40] <ubot5> Sanky: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions

[16:40] <bioterror> grab the uuid and use it as a device
[16:40] <bioterror> UUID=f62de6e1-1f2f-4ec6-8a82-283ca6174f01 /media/Dump xfs defaults 0 0
[16:40] <bioterror> something like that
[16:41] <bioterror> remember to create that mountpoint under /media/
[16:41] <bioterror> and change xfs to your filesystem
[16:50] <u__> hello I tried installing gnome-alsamixer but won't start. Any advice ?
[17:04] <Sanky> bioterror: thank you, I think I got it!
[17:05] <bioterror> good
=== MichealH is now known as MH0
[20:00] <Gege71> hello; what is the log viewer in lubuntu please ?
[20:01] <bioterror> I've been using mostly cd /var/log/ and cat with |less
[20:02] <Gege71> of course... but a real graphical would be good for me :)
[20:03] <bioterror> how graphical interface makes "text" better to read? :)
[20:05] <Gege71> mmm... searching for an error message is easier with mouse, especially when you don't know in which log error has been reported
[20:08] <bioterror> how mouse is better than for example using search?
[20:08] <bioterror> or pgdown or pgup
[20:08] <bioterror> if you want, you can use |links for your parser
[20:08] <bioterror> it has mouse scrool :D
[20:08] <Unit193> cat, grep, less, and more are the "log viewers" that come with Lubuntu. Leafpad if you want GUI
[20:13] <Gege71> indeed. .. but since i just installed lubuntu after 4 years using gnome 2, ... i need time to switch tools :)
[20:14] <bioterror> it's not our fault that you've used 4 years wrong tools ;)
[20:14] <Gege71> my real problem is : i can't see my USB stick in pcmanfm, it doesn't mount automatically
[20:14] <Gege71> hehe right
[20:14] <bioterror> really
[20:14] <bioterror> what does dmesg say?
[20:14] <bioterror> it usually tells you something
[20:15] <bioterror> probably bad super block or something
[20:15] <Gege71> dmesg : nothing, but syslog says :

[20:15] <Gege71> etc ...
[20:16] <Gege71> i hope i won't have to manually mount usb stick / drives everytime i plug them !
[20:16] <bioterror> next time pastebin, thanks
[20:16] <Gege71> sorry
[20:17] <bioterror> no you should not mount it manually
[20:17] <Gege71> but nothing appears in file manager
[20:18] <bioterror> is your lubuntu fresh installation?
[20:18] <bioterror> or did you apt-get install lubuntu-desktop?
[20:18] <Gege71> frsh install from last iso
[20:20] <Gege71> sorry... i just tried with another usb sticj and it does work now !
[20:21] <Gege71> very strange.. lets try with another one
[20:21] <bioterror> format that which doesnt want to mount
[20:23] <Gege71> anyway thanks for your availability bioterror
[20:24] <Gege71> i will certainly have many problem to resolve with lxde since it's new to me
[20:29] <Gege71> maybe the reason is the usb stick was "formattted" with a "dd if=tttt.iso of=/dev/sdx"
[20:29] <bioterror> could be
[20:29] <bioterror> usually it shows nothing :D
[20:41] <reflexrg> tested it out seems to be that the files where already messed up a little and maybe when I burnt to disc the reason was because I was running bleachbit maybe it removed some essential files. bioterror
[20:41] <reflexrg> tested it on a pdf I downloaded though not music files
[20:42] <reflexrg> made an md5sum with the file then did what I did with the audio files then checked them with the md5sum created beforehand and it passed
[20:42] <bioterror> I have no idea what you're talking about ;)
[20:42] <reflexrg> it was yesterday
[20:44] <reflexrg> remember with pcman with file integrity problems while moving files when accidentally putting it in a file or its own file
[20:44] <reflexrg> I tried it with a pdf and there was no problems md5sumed it and did what I did it checked out fine but then again it wasn't a huge file
[20:45] <reflexrg> with the audio files I'll just have to pic my favorites and then re get them
[20:56] <bekor> hi anyone here using docky on lubuntu?
[20:58] <reflexrg> no
[20:59] <reflexrg> we don't use anything that slows pc down
[21:10] <Gege71> about lxpanel ; anyone know how to get temperatures ? i only have "NA" with the temperature applet
[21:11] <reflexrg> probably cause you need to setup a server
[21:11] <reflexrg> go in preferences for the temp app and change the settings appropriate for you and your region
[21:13] <Gege71> mmm... i was talking about CPU and GPU temperature, altough the weather applet only show the weather icon, but not the temperature :)
[21:13] <reflexrg> well most likely its because you need to setup a region use your closest major city instead of the city you live in I am too paranoid to use the city i live in... not even my ip shows up where I live but pretty close to it shows my isps location
[21:13] <reflexrg> oh that well your cpu and gpu has to support that
[21:13] <reflexrg> not all cpus and gpus support temperature monitoring
[21:14] <reflexrg> my cpu has always ran hot at warning levels according to cpu monitor and I've been using it for years no problems
[21:14] <reflexrg> 6 years now
[21:14] <reflexrg> will be 7
[21:14] <reflexrg> soon
[21:14] <Gege71> sensors return the cpu temp, and nvidia settings the gpu temp, they are both OK
[21:14] <reflexrg> everything still is healthy
[21:15] <reflexrg> oh okay I dunno
[21:15] <reflexrg> busy today again maybe someone can help here
[21:15] <reflexrg> have to fly again
[21:15] <reflexrg> see you!
[21:15] <Gege71> thanks anwyay :)
[21:16] <reflexrg> I'll be back though
[21:16] <reflexrg> maybe I help later
[21:16] <reflexrg> ;p
