[00:00] <x3sths> nice
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> install minimal then install lubuntu-desktop :)
[00:15] <phillw> ActionParsnip: it entirely depends on what you want, if you have more than 1 computer you want to put 64 Bit 11.04 on, it makes more sense to burn the cd :)
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> phillw: i guess, although the cd will need upgrading after so the minimal is great to save time
[00:20] <phillw> depends on your internet! I'm on a 3G device, so would hate to pay for the duplication of an entire system each time! - Yes, the choice can seem a little a little confusing, hence the advice to just stick the 32 bit one on :) For those more adventurous, or needy, we do supply options :)
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> options are good
[00:21] <phillw> the speed at which these options evolve certainly keep the wiki gang on their toes :P
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> we can all be the wiki gang ;)
[00:22] <phillw> most of the 'gang' are and are quite happy to update any of the pages.
[00:28] <phillw> the 11.04 is now avaiable in 2.7GB of hard drive.... some people have far too much time on their hands :P
[00:42] <x3sths> ciao
[05:11] <john_rambo> When I click on the dropbox icon on the systray google chrome opens...instead of the file manager
[05:12] <bioterror> 10.10 or 11.04
[05:12] <john_rambo> 10.04
[05:13] <bioterror> john_rambo, section 2.4 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ
[05:13] <john_rambo> bioterror, Roger

[05:24] <john_rambo> The*
[10:46] <Ascavasaion> I did an update in Lubuntu and now I cannot get Flashplayer to work again. Any ideas?
[11:17] <tomekh> Ascavasaion: what browser? how do you install flash?
[11:18] <Ascavasaion> chromium
[11:18] <Ascavasaion> tomekh: Chromium, and it says I need to download flash, so I preume that it is not installed.
[11:20] <tomekh> Ascavasaion: go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect
[11:20] <tomekh> download .tar.gz archive
[11:20] <Ascavasaion> tomekh: Done.
[11:20] <bioterror> mmm
[11:20] <bioterror> why not sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[11:20] <bioterror> it will get updated automated then
[11:20] <bioterror> automaticly
[11:21] <tomekh> and unpack it to /usr/mozilla/plugins
[11:21] <bioterror> even
[11:21] <tomekh> that's the way i do it
[11:21] <tomekh> you can also use apt-get, sure
[11:21] <bioterror> for the 64bit system you might need to grab beta from adobe
[11:21] <tomekh> Ascavasaion: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, sorry
[11:27] <deckstar> Anyone know why Update Manager in 11.04 may hang for around 15+ minutes when "building data structures"?
[11:28] <deckstar> 1.4GHz P4, 768ish ram, ran 10.10 well
[11:29] <Ascavasaion> tomekh: I got it working thank you :)
[11:30] <deckstar> is there a control panel available or coming in 11.04?
[11:30] <tomekh> Ascavasaion: you need only libflashplayer.so, do also chown root:root /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[11:31] <Ascavasaion> tomekh: It is already woring.
[11:31] <Ascavasaion> working
[11:31] <tomekh> Ascavasaion: that's say "slackware-way", you can also install flash with apt-get, as bioterror suggested
[11:32] <Ascavasaion> thank you both.
[11:39] <bioterror> ve used slapt-get on slack based system
[11:39] <bioterror> ive
[11:40] <bioterror> so dunno about the slackware way, but not using package manager on a operating system that has one is just not that smart what comes to keeping it up-to-date
[14:16] <john_rambo> when I do "alltray thundrbird" from terminal thundrbird appears in systray but when I create a shell script it launches but cant find it in systray ..... ...Any ideas ?
[14:17] <john_rambo> thunderbird*
[17:36] <ahma> Will Lubuntu be more official some day? I mean is it going to be "official Canonical product"?
[17:37] <Unit193> ahma: We should be with this release
[17:38] <ahma> Unit193, You mean 11.10?
[17:38] <Unit193> ahma: That's what I mean!
[17:39] <semitones> does 11.04 still use the lubuntu PPA by default?
[17:39] <semitones> and if you install lubuntu-desktop from ubuntu, does that add the ppa?
[17:39] <Unit193> semitones: I don't think you have an extra lubuntu ppa
[17:40] <semitones> there was in 10.10, pretty sure
[17:40] <semitones> but I haven't used 11.04 enough to know for it
[17:44] <ahma> Sounds good, this Lubuntu seems to run really good... The only problem for me was to get this working. Finally I used 10.10 alternate cd and then upgraded to 11.04... Will problems like that then be much more improbable?
[17:45] <ahma> * (the problem was that there is no alternate cd for 11.04)
[17:45] <Unit193> There should be an alt cd when we start using Ubuntu build servers
[17:46] <Unit193> !mini
[17:46] <ubot5> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[17:46] <Unit193> You could also do that to install it
[17:47] <ahma> But I could not, I have only a mobile broadband and I can not use wlan either. Because of driver problem.
[17:50] <Black_Parrot> Hello
[17:50] <Black_Parrot> Sorry for my english...
[17:50] <Black_Parrot> Can someone help me with one lubuntu problem?
[17:50] <Black_Parrot> I can't change mouse settings
[17:50] <Black_Parrot> I open settings window, try to change sensetivity and this window closed without saving changes...
[17:50] <Black_Parrot> I don't click "save" or something else... window closed by itself...
[18:18] <bioterror> Black_Parrot, sounds weird
[21:06] <SpaceBack> how can i make ~/.startconky to start at autostart at boot ?
[21:08] <bioterror> what's .startconky?
[21:09] <SpaceBack> bioterror http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867076
[21:10] <SpaceBack> "Setting up conky to autostart on boot. Create a hidden file ~/.startconky"
[21:10] <bioterror> SpaceBack, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ sections 3.3 and 3.4
[21:14] <SpaceBack> bioterror cp: cannot create regular file `/home/djole/.config/autostart/': Is a directory
[21:17] <SpaceBack> as root
[21:17] <SpaceBack> cp: cannot create regular file `/root/.config/autostart/': No such file or directory
[21:18] <bioterror> oh no! you better watchout that jmarsden wont see your root actions ;D
[21:19] <SpaceBack> hahah ok,but what should i do now ?
[21:20] <bioterror> create that folder in your ~/
[21:22] <giuseppe_> Hi
[21:22] <giuseppe_> How can I set up my microphone?
[21:27] <bioterror> giuseppe_, tell me you're not going to use skype
[21:27] <giuseppe_> teamspeak
[21:27] <bioterror> does it work with audacity for example?
[21:27] <SpaceBack> bioterror i created root@Djole-PC:/.config/autostart# but i can not copy /.startconky
[21:28] <bioterror> !root | SpaceBack
[21:28] <ubot5> SpaceBack: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[21:30] <giuseppe_> bioterror, it works
[21:30] <giuseppe_> but i need to set up the level
[21:30] <giuseppe_> of volume
[21:30] <bioterror> alsamixer
[21:30] <Black_Parrot> bioterror, maybe this problem with mouse because of Jupiter(for asus eee)?
[21:30] <bioterror> in terminal
[21:30] <SpaceBack> cp: cannot create regular file `/home/djole/.config/autostart/': Is a directory
[21:31] <bioterror> SpaceBack, howabout creating a conky.desktop -file into your /home/djole/.config/autostart/ folder
[21:33] <bioterror> Black_Parrot, have you created a bug raport about your issue?
[21:33] <SpaceBack> it says that the file exists
[21:34] <Black_Parrot> bioterror, how i can create bug report?
[21:38] <bioterror> Black_Parrot, can you navigate thru that menu with your keyboard without getting it closed?
[21:38] <bioterror> like using tabkey and enter/space
[21:40] <Black_Parrot> bioterror, no i can't... when i try to change value(left\right), window closed...
[21:40] <Black_Parrot> I can use tab, but i can't change values...
[21:51] <SpaceBack> bioterror sudo leafpad /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart and just added conky -c ~/Conky/conkymain
[21:52] <SpaceBack> and its now autostarting but when i click on the desktop it disappears
[22:04] <SpaceBack> i did it :D
