[05:55] <reflexrg> how do I add startup programs to desktop sessions?
[05:56] <bioterror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_in_to_Desktop
[05:58] <reflexrg> I noticed that lubuntu doesn't have the app where you can turn off apps at bootup time like service manger
[05:58] <reflexrg> how do I edit this?
[05:58] <reflexrg> not desktop startup apps
[05:59] <reflexrg> how about if an app doesn't get placed in the menu? alarm-clock doesn't but I can start it up with run well I am going to make it a startup app so doesn't matter
[06:00] <bioterror> in the FAQ is a guide how to add application to start menu
[06:02] <reflexrg> that was easy for me to do since I know how to find files via the terminal lubuntu needs to be more user friendly
[06:02] <bioterror> then make it more friendly, it's opensource and we have community
[06:03] <reflexrg> okay
[06:03] <reflexrg> I really love LXDE
[06:04] <reflexrg> I've been reading posts about businesses not wanting to switch to linux
[06:04] <bioterror> and I wonder why
[06:04] <reflexrg> well I do agree with gnome being buggy sometimes with the power buttons
[06:05] <reflexrg> but I think LXDE is the best choice for businesses
[06:05] <bioterror> I think Windows 7 is the best choice for businesses
[06:06] <reflexrg> I haven't experienced any problems with any buttons disappearing so far using lxde and its a lot like windows xp so it isn't too hard a learning curve
[06:06] <bioterror> the opensource world has nothing close to Exchange + Outlook
[06:06] <reflexrg> I don't like windows its bloated and slow
[06:06] <reflexrg> most people don't use email clients these days
[06:06] <bioterror> really?
[06:07] <reflexrg> how is outlook so good?
[06:07] <bioterror> you mean they use only iPhones to write these tens and hundres of emails?
[06:07] <bioterror> they use phones to book these meeting rooms?
[06:07] <bioterror> or what?
[06:08] <reflexrg> you can use any email program to book meeting rooms or call
[06:08] <reflexrg> I don't see your point
[06:09] <bioterror> you're welcome to come here to my work office and show how
[06:09] <bioterror> I have gnome 3 with evolution
[06:10] <reflexrg> I don't really like evolution takes up to much system resources
[06:10] <bioterror> thanks, you made my point
[06:10] <bioterror> conversation ended.
[06:11] <reflexrg> but there is tons of other apps to use instead of evolution
[06:11] <bioterror> like?
[06:11] <reflexrg> like the one that comes with lubuntu
[06:12] <bioterror> does it talk with the exchange server if the imap is not enabled?
[06:12] <reflexrg> dunno I never had that problem
[06:12] <reflexrg> microsoft exchange server?
[06:15] <reflexrg> I do a small business so I dunno if linux would meet your needs
[06:15] <reflexrg> it meets mine fine
[06:18] <reflexrg> bioterror what kind of business are you in?
[06:19] <bioterror> atm. a huge media business corporation
[06:20] <reflexrg> what kind of media?
[06:20] <reflexrg> tv, films, music, commercials?
[06:20] <bioterror> news paper, tv channels, magazines, radio channels
[06:20] <bioterror> what else :D
[06:20] <reflexrg> I see
[06:21] <reflexrg> are you saying that exchange lets you automatically call and book events you put in your calender?
[06:21] <bioterror> I can open a desired meeting room from calendar and book it
[06:22] <bioterror> and invite people into that meeting and so on
[06:23] <Unit193> Alright, this isn't exactly on topic, just learned that desktop Linux isn't for everything.
[06:23] <reflexrg> I am assuming this contacts someone to book it and then sends out email invitations to selected people
[06:32] <reflexrg> yeah its like bringing up religion or politics when you talk about that!
[07:58] <bioterror> a
[08:41] <reflexrg> just checked out trisquel 5 mini with lxde wasn't what I expected I'd thought they would have some apps you guys left out. also they had the bloated add/remove app too.
[08:42] <reflexrg> the web browser they use looks pretty awesome lightweight very easy to use and comes builtin with all the crap that expert firefox users always add with their addons
[08:43] <reflexrg> such as cookie manager, adblocker, useragent switching...etc...

[14:19] <iceroot> tapion: after the system is installed

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility
[14:28] <iceroot> tapion: is that wubi or the real installation?
[14:28] <tapion> real

[14:29] <iceroot> tapion: it will install the grub bootloader and install lubuntu on a free partition

[14:29] <tapion> and if the disk is full?
[14:29] <tapion> ok

[17:52] <th^2> how do i change lubuntu login wallpaper?

[17:55] <leszek> th^2: You can set the wallpaper in /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf
[17:59] <bioterror> is it meeting in two hours?
[18:01] <IAmNotThatGuy> bioterror, yep
[18:01] <wxl> isn't the meeting elsewhere?
[18:02] <th^2> leszek, thanks
[18:09] <th^2> leszek, that has no affect
[18:34] <leszek> hmm
[18:34] <leszek> than its a bug I guess
[19:03] <th^2> changing default.conf worked
[19:03] <th^2> :S
[19:04] <reisio> is clamscan on 11.10 ?
[19:05] <wxl> http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/nautilus-clamscan
[19:05] <wxl> but i fear that's not what you're looking for reisio
[19:06] <reisio> seems like some nautilus extension for clamscan :)
[19:06] <reisio> don't think Lubuntu even uses nautilus
[19:06] <reisio> thanks for lookin', though
[19:07] <wxl> http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric-updates/clamav
[19:07] <wxl> there you go
[19:07] <wxl> clamscan should be in there
[19:07] <wxl> http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric-updates/i386/clamav/filelist
[19:07] <wxl> it is
[19:07] <reisio> yeah I guess I could install it in the live environment
[19:08] <wxl> i've done that before
[19:08] <reisio> so have I, heh, just forgot
[19:08] <reisio> thanks for the reminder :P
[19:08] <wxl> np
[19:13] <reisio> wanted to scan this computer of someone's for der viruses, but also show them Lubuntu while it chugs along
[19:13] <reisio> adios!
[19:15] <KM0201> you could probably use avast also on the live cd.. it's good.
[19:30] <wxl> avast is on the live cd??
[19:38] <bioterror> if you install
