[01:14] <sva> hello :)
[01:38] <LubuntuPowered> so i'm still having the problem where my system with Lubuntu on it, only receives a fraction of the download speed (4mbps out of 17+mbps from my ISP, but my upload speed is normal (1.4+mbps) only on my Lubuntu powered =P comuter... all my other computers (desktops/laptops/wired/wireless) are all receiving the speeds i'm supposed to be getting. Just a few weeks ago, i decided to play around with the usb connection option
[01:47] <MrChrisDruif> LubuntuPowered; maybe switching network manager would fix that for you. Are all your other systems GNOME powered by any chance?
[01:49] <MrChrisDruif> Anyhow, I'm off to bed
[01:49] <MrChrisDruif> You *could* try wicd, but I've got no idea how to set that up
[01:50] <emrys_> Wooo, busy in here. Anyone alive though?

[03:52] <sva> hey, I just clicked through the live version of lubuntu and i am wondering if it is possible to get anonther task bar / panel
[03:52] <sva> I just found the option to move it eg from bottom to top, but havent found yet an option to make two of them :)
[04:01] <clache> sva: Yes, Tint2 is one.
[04:02] <clache> sva: Excuse, i'm wrong, You want make it with the default Task bar.
[04:10] <sva> clache: yes, i would like to keep the one below (eg for the open windows) but wanna have a second one at the top with the clock and the quickstart and so on (e.g.)
[04:10] <sva> another question for the ones who are doing crypto. is the lubuntu installer nearly the same as the lubuntu installer? so it is possible to follow those instructions? http://joernfranz.net/2011/01/20/installing-ubuntu-10-10-with-full-disk-encryption/
[04:11] <sva> aeh second lubuntu in the question above should be ubuntu ;)
[04:13] <clache> It use the alternate cd.
[04:14] <sva> clache: and have you used the alternate cd of ubuntu before? is it the same?
[04:16] <clache> No, I install with Lubuntu cd. The great thing with Lubuntu is not only Lxde, but the fact not all service are started than Ubuntu cd.
[04:19] <sva> yes, i know. so i think it will be the same - but anyhow, i will not start the installation tonight, so maybe till the evening (its 4:18 a.m. here) some more maybe tell something about their crypto install :)
[04:19] <sva> need to get some sleep as well :(
[04:20] <clache> sva: Ok, have a good night.
[04:21] <sva> tnx alot - my nick stays here, so if you have anything to add, just do :) i'll read it when i get up again
[04:57] <pcroque> sva: re your two panel question...right click on the panel and select 'Create New Panel'. This should give you another panel to customize.
[05:06] <pcroque> sva: Oh...and good morning :)
[05:11] <clache> pcroque: You're right. I don't have seen this.
[05:27] <Nach0z> hey uh... I can't seem to find the "Additional Drivers" button under System Settings. where's it at in LXDE anyways?
[05:32] <Nach0z> or nevermind. just switched wm's for a bit.
[05:38] <hbrtxito> hello? is someone still awake ? i need help :(
[05:40] <pcroque> hbrtxito: ask your question and see if anyone can help.
[05:41] <hbrtxito> ok i have an old lapto ACER and i have lubuntu but i can activate mi wireless device :S
[05:44] <pcroque> hbrtxito: sorry...can't help you with that one...but maybe somebody else will come along who can.
[05:44] <hbrtxito> ok
[05:48] <pcroque> hbrtxito: while waiting...you can look at this...it might help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859446
[05:49] <hbrtxito> ok buddy , thanks
[06:04] <grendal-prime> hey guys
[06:05] <grendal-prime> this is kinda werid..i installed ubuntu 10.04 on my toshiba portege m2000 but...when i try and install lubuntu it just refuses to boot from the usb cdrom drive i have
[06:05] <grendal-prime> thought maybe the disk was not bootable..but it works in other machines
[06:07] <grendal-prime> If i install the lubuntu desktop will that get me most of the performance improvemts im hearing about or are there kernel level tweeks that i need to install from disk to get?
[07:01] <hbrtxito> pcroque thanks for the information , it worked well
[10:03] <tramm> Hi, does anybody know when the lubuntu-rc.xml, lxde-rc.xml is created into ~/.config/openbox? I want to change these system wide, but I cannot find the sources.
[10:07] <tramm> It would be natural to think that ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml is used, but this doesn't seem to be the case, because this file and the ones under ~/.config/openbox are quite different.
[10:07] <tramm> Correction: It would be natural to think that /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml is used, but this doesn't seem to be the case, because this file and the ones under ~/.config/openbox are quite different.
[10:50] <tramm> I tried it out in practise: if I add something to /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml and delete ~/.config/openbox/*, the newly created lubuntu-rc.xml doesn't have anything from /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml... So how's it being done or where I can find some docs? Or a knowledgable person?
[10:57] <sva> pcroque: tnx! it worked - sorry, why havent i seen that... maybe to early at night ;)
[11:04] <sva> something else i missed immediadely: i would love to increase/decrease the size (and fontsize) of the consol with keystrokes: ctrl+ and ctrl- doesnt work (with the live CD)
[13:40] <gogo_> lubuntu switching to unity?
[13:40] <iceroot> gogo_: no
[13:40] <iceroot> gogo_: then it would be called ubuntu
[13:40] <gogo_> uhm check this --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1918534
[13:43] <gogo_> is it an accident?
[13:46] <gogo_> any lubuntu alpha 2 tester here
[13:50] <iceroot> gogo_: my lubuntu 12.04 looks normal
[13:50] <iceroot> gogo_: there is no unity on lubuntu
[13:50] <gogo_> its on alpha 2 testing build...not on daily build
[13:50] <iceroot> gogo_: apt-get dist-upgrade on 12.04 20 minutes ago
[13:55] <gogo_> look at this -->
[13:55] <gogo_> http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/206/builds/11111/testcases/1147/results
[13:55] <gogo_> look at the comment
[13:59] <iceroot> hm
[13:59] <iceroot> hopefully they will not change anything
[13:59] <gogo_> any lubuntu devel here?
[13:59] <iceroot> but i cant see pictures because i dont have a forum-account
[14:00] <gogo_> w8 i gove u direct link
[14:01] <gogo_> http://i.imgur.com/flT9j.jpg
[14:01] <gogo_> http://i.imgur.com/t7ORZ.jpg
[14:02] <iceroot> hm
[14:03] <iceroot> lets wait for something official
[14:03] <iceroot> on the maillinglist there was nothing like "lets add something like unity"
[14:04] <gogo_> yeah that too i am wondering
[14:04] <iceroot> so maybe its just a bug
[14:04] <gogo_> i hv not much bandwidth left else I would have downloaded and tried it myself
[14:04] <gogo_> yeap looks like bug

[18:12] <Jjon> Any apps you guys would recommend? Just fresh installed,
[18:13] <kanliot> humble indy bundle. was just plying the uh bacteria game
[18:15] <Myrtti> Jjon: depens on what you're interested in
[18:17] <Unit193> You can look through Synaptic, or apt-cache search <keywords here> in the terminal
[18:22] <Jjon> Seems like a reboot fixed my problem, but, any games?
[18:25] <Unit193> There are games installed by default, but depending on your hardware you can add all sorts of games
[19:16] <leszek> hi
[19:16] <Myrtti> hello
[19:40] <e-head> hi
[19:40] <wxl> yo
[19:41] <e-head> I'm curious if there is any "apt-get install" goodness I can do to "lighten up" my current Ubuntu distro?
[19:41] <wxl> e-head: this reminds me of something that continues to entertain me to this day that someone asked me regarding her bike and a certain part: "if i put this on my bike, will it make it lighter?"
[19:41] <e-head> ;)
[19:41] <wxl> e-head: that being said there are "apt-get remove" or "purge" goodness you can do
[19:42] <wxl> s/are/is
[19:42] <e-head> Well, when I say "lighten", disk space isn't an issue.
[19:42] <wxl> i'd say that often a program's footprint in terms of disk space is an indicator of its potential for resource usage
[19:42] <e-head> I just want a system that uses less memory and CPU.
[19:42] <wxl> not a rule
[19:42] <e-head> The one thing I do have is a big hard drive.
[19:43] <wxl> you can always install lxde and remove all the ubuntu garbage e.g. !purelxde
[19:43] <e-head> yeah, that could be true at times.
[19:43] <wxl> uh
[19:43] <wxl> !purelxde e-head
[19:43] <wxl> stupid bot
[19:43] <Unit193> !purelxde | e-head
[19:43] <ubot5`> e-head: If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde »
[19:43] <Unit193> Stupid human
[19:43] <Unit193> :D
[19:43] <e-head> lxde is the LuBuntu window manager I take it?
[19:43] <wxl> yep
[19:43] <wxl> classic pebkac
[19:44] <wxl> e-head: it's the desktop environment; openbox is the window manager
[19:44] <kanliot> na openbox tecnically
[19:44] <e-head> ahh, that's ubot5`. I figured I wasn't the first person to want to do this.
[19:44] <Unit193> You could build from !mini and just add openbox or fluxbox :P
[19:44] <wxl> well if you want to go totally hardcore you could get rid of x altogether ;)
[19:44] <e-head> s/that/thank/
[19:44] <wxl> thank's? ;)
[19:44] <e-head> ;)
[19:45] <e-head> ohh, above. I said "that's ubut". I meant to say "thanks ubot".
[19:45] <e-head> I use to run ratpoison and evilwm.
[19:45] <e-head> hard to get much lighter than that. ;)
[19:45] <wxl> so you mean s/that\'/thank/
[19:45] <wxl> there you go; you can do that1
[19:46] <RadiumCat> hello, how do i add more keyboard layouts in lxde?
[19:47] <wxl> RadiumCat: you may find this helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455877
[19:48] <wxl> man the fact that our wiki links to a 7 page thread kind of sucks
[19:48] <RadiumCat> ok, thanks very much :)
[19:48] * wxl puts that on the to-do list for a wiki update
[19:50] <leszek> wxi I am working on a lxkeymap update so multiple layouts will be possible soon :)
[19:50] <wxl> leszek: how soon?
[19:51] <leszek> I guess its ready this weekend
[19:51] <wxl> wxl: cuz i'll spend the time reading all 7 pages :/ and then testing it out and then making the update tonight but if it's going to happen quick then i'll leave well-enough alone
[19:51] <wxl> ah i should just update it
[19:51] <wxl> there's still 11.04 users out there
[19:51] <wxl> i can make a note that it's coming soon
[19:52] <wxl> assumedly your update will apply to 11.10+
[19:52] <wxl> omg did i just send a note to myself?
[19:52] * wxl needs more caffeine
[19:52] <wxl> (or less?)
[22:20] <taylor> quick question: my system settings such as mouse speed, wallpaper, etc., are not saving when i reboot. can someone give me a push in the right direction please?
[22:34] <sva> taylor: sounds strange. i am still installing, hope it wont be the same with me
[22:35] <sva> btw just for the record ('cause i ask about yesterday) the howto for ubuntu to do full disk crypto fits lubuntu alternate installer as well: http://joernfranz.net/2011/01/20/installing-ubuntu-10-10-with-full-disk-encryption/
[22:58] <sva> bad news for tayler: i cannot even adjust mouse speed. if i adjust it, and set in on fast, klick "ok" its not faster. if i open the dialog again, its on the old value (not fast)
