[01:45] <valdur55> apt-get autoremove notification && apt-get install xfce4-notifyd

[01:47] <forumrat> I know notification daemon is in startup section
[01:47] <valdur55> ok.. you can kill notification with pkill

[05:26] <LubuntuPowered> COPY PASTE
[05:27] <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
[05:48] <head_victim> LubuntuPowered: Sounds like you've plugged it into a USB1.0 port to me.
[05:49] <head_victim> (or 1.1)
[06:01] <LubuntuPowered> 1.1 is capable of up to 12mbps speeds
[06:39] <head_victim> LubuntuPowered: yes, but that is theoretical speed and doesn't include any overheads.
[07:17] <zerothis> i'd like all my sounds to go through my bluetooth headset. its paired,it was in the mixer but gone now

[17:55] <nehg> Hello, Just installed Lubuntu, is there anything I can do to speed up this? Its still slow
[17:56] <bioterror> buy SSD drive, few gigs more RAM
[17:57] <smile> nehg: & try Slitaz :)
[17:57] <smile> really fast :p
[17:57] <nehg> Is it
[17:57] <smile> yes. :p
[17:58] <nehg> im going to try this first, is there any visual effects i can turn off?
[17:59] <bioterror> no, lubuntu doesnt come with effects
[17:59] <smile> i don't think so :)
[17:59] <phillw> nehg: lubuntu is about as slimmed down as we can get it.
[18:00] <nehg> oh ok
[18:00] <phillw> nehg: what are the specs of the computer?
[18:01] <phillw> you may also consider running http://zenix-os.net/
[18:04] <nehg> its amilo pa-1510 laptop, 1,6ghz, 2gt ram and ati radeon 1100. i think the last one is reason why it is slow
[18:11] <nehg> any ideas?
[18:14] <phillw> nehg: you have ample specs for lubuntu to run,
[18:15] <nehg> yea
[20:14] <KKF> Hey guys
[20:14] <KKF> I need some help with setting my wallpaper
[20:21] <Silverlion> KKF: what exactly do you need?
[20:21] <holstein> is nitrogen in the repos?

[20:23] <bioterror> -w, --set-wallpaper=<image file> Set desktop wallpaper
[23:41] <freeroute> Let's say I'm trying to install skype. How can I see what the total size would be of the downloaded packages (preferably how much would be post-unpacking) and how much mb it would add to my system afterwards?
[23:42] <freeroute> I did "apt-get install skype -s", but that doesn't give me the sizes
[23:43] <holstein> freeroute: i wouldnt expect it to take up much space
[23:44] <holstein> sudo apt-get install whatever should report whats coming in and how much size the pacakges will or are taking up
[23:53] <phillw> freeroute: if you use Synaptics, as you are using apt-get... it will tell you both the amount to be down loaded & the disk space it will use.
[23:54] <freeroute> holstein: 71.4mb :(
[23:54] <freeroute> phillw: it's pretty weird why it doesn't show in the simulation imo
[23:55] <holstein> 71mb's is nothing
[23:55] <freeroute> holstein: I'm in a live environment, and I already have like 2980 out of 3021 used :p
[23:55] <freeroute> *mb
[23:56] <phillw> freeroute: you entering what is called 3GB hell.
[23:56] <freeroute> phillw: is it when everything gets stuck and the RAM is full?
[23:57] <freeroute> or more precisely because the RAM is full
[23:57] <phillw> freeroute: no, that is when the casper system was set to 3GB on creation and is full. (It's also known as 3.2 GB hell)
[23:57] <phillw> 3GB was the default.
[23:58] <freeroute> that's kind of a lot of hell
[23:59] <freeroute> why isn't it possible to have casper made in an NTFS?
[23:59] <freeroute> *on an NTFS
