[08:23] <ubottu> gameover1: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines
[08:23] <gameover1> why is my nick gameover1?
[08:24] <gameover1> I typed gameover
[08:24] <doda-> THERE ARE TWO OF YOU
[08:24] <gameover1> I have a clone
[08:24] <doda-> TELEPORTER MALFUNCTION, evil twin, do you have a beard?
[08:24] <gameover1> nope
[08:27] <gameover1> unit192: who are you and what are you doing here?
[08:27] <gameover1> unit193: who are you and what are you doing here?
[08:27] <Unit193> gameover1: Please read the guidelines so you know better how to act in Ubuntu channels, thanks.
[08:30] <Myrtti> !guidelines > gameover1
[08:30] <ubottu> gameover1, please see my private message
[08:31] <gameover1> oh yes, I was wondering, why is no one answering me yesterday?
[08:31] <Myrtti> because people have other lives, this channel is not solely for your use, timezones, or anyone didn't know the answer to your question.
[08:31] <Myrtti> take a pick.
[08:33] <gameover1> oh my, you're so harsh myrtti
[08:33] <gameover1> are you Steve Jobst?
[08:33] <doda-> plus lubuntu is a small channel, go troll somewhere else
[08:35] <doda-> anyway, i wrote a message to the mailing list, seems like it didn't get senr
[08:35] <doda-> *sent, its not in the archive
[08:37] <Unit193> Bah, I should be sleeping already... How did you send it? Were you subscribed to the mailing list? If you can say the address, but adding NO_SPAM in the middle would be handy too.
[08:40] <doda-> i subscribed, but for some reason the remind password option didn't send me a mail yet
[08:40] <doda-> good night, will check that
[08:41] <Unit193> Alright, the active one is at lists.ubuntu.com, don't exactly remmeber the direct link though.
[08:42] <Unit193> Also, reminder that you'll have to send from the same email address (trust me, easy to mix up : P )
[09:51] <Mayazcherquoi> Hey guys. What would be the way to go about installing Lubuntu on a netbook (no CD drive), when you only have a USB that holds 188mb?
[09:52] <head_victim> Mayazcherquoi: mini cd
[09:52] <Mayazcherquoi> And I can not connect via ethernet.
[09:52] <Mayazcherquoi> I was thinking downloading the mirrors to my HDD (2TB) and interface with that, then just use a local dir, but I don't know where the mirrors list is and if there are quite a few files? :S
[09:53] <Mayazcherquoi> Or even if Lubuntu will recognise the drive.
[09:53] <head_victim> The whole Ubuntu mirror including the CD mirror is only around 600GB.
[09:53] <head_victim> I have a local copy ;)
[09:54] <Mayazcherquoi> I just want what is needed on a desktop install :-/
[09:55] <head_victim> Well, you could use the mini CD to install off, it's getting the other packages that will be harder to do if you're without the internet at all (no wireless even?)
[09:55] <Mayazcherquoi> I mean, I could easily do it when installing Gentoo, but idk how with Lubuntu :-/
[09:56] <Mayazcherquoi> I have wireless.
[09:56] <Mayazcherquoi> Just that IIRC Linux sucks out of the box with wireless drivers :p
[09:56] <Mayazcherquoi> (it's been a while)
[09:56] <Myrtti> use the mini.iso, use command line magic to connect to wifi, rock and roll on apt-get
[09:56] <head_victim> Well then use the mini iso to install and then see if it works.
[09:56] <head_victim> If it doesn you can then install drivers you need off the usb you can reuse after installing
[10:17] <Mayazcherquoi> Lol, screw this, I have another idea :P
[11:28] <thor_> lubuntu 12.04. LSC (BUG) try to install libreoffice write, it dos not show in apps basket. Get this in terminal http://pastebin.com/MDFSHNqJ
[12:37] <Pitmaster> hello there
[12:37] <smile> hi :)
[12:37] <smile> questions? :p
[12:37] <Pitmaster> Yep
[12:38] <Pitmaster> And I hope this is a nice place to return to without questions
[12:39] <smile> Pitmaster: cool :)
[12:39] <smile> go ahead :)
[12:39] <Pitmaster> I want to install xbmc
[12:40] <smile> Pitmaster: okay :D
[12:40] <Pitmaster> but the only repository is for ubuntu
[12:41] <smile> that's fine, ubuntu packages are also for lubuntu :)
[12:41] <smile> brb :)
[12:41] <Pitmaster> Oke
[12:41] <Pitmaster> Maybe other people can look into it
[12:42] <Pitmaster> apt doesn't want to install xbmc-data
[12:43] <Pitmaster> It's a bit difficult because I use the dutch version of Lubuntu and the output is Dutch.
[12:46] <smile> Pitmaster: i'm belgian :)
[12:46] <Pitmaster> That's nice, Fr or Nl
[12:46] <smile> NL :)
[12:46] <smile> what's the error message? :p

[18:22] <david_j_r> Anyone able to say if there's a Lubuntu meeting later today (like in just under a couple hours)?
[18:24] <smile> david_j_r: it's on the wiki, i think. :p
[18:25] <david_j_r> Thanks - couldn't find it! Still can't. :) Got a link for agenda? (Lame, I know!)
[18:26] <david_j_r> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/IRC%20Meetings/Agenda - got it!
[18:26] <david_j_r> bye for now
[18:27] <smile> david_j_r: great. bye :)
[19:35] <Unit193> That wasn't, I wouldn't think.
[19:38] <Unit193> ...And that went to the wrong channel, sorry.
[19:50] <guntbert> where can I set what shall happen when closing the laptop's lid?
[19:55] <CTtechguy> you can right click on the power icon and set it under preferences
[20:01] <guntbert> CTtechguy: no power/battery icon is visible
[20:07] <vlad9001> hello
[20:09] <vlad9001> from where do i set the prop for laptop lid ?! pls help
[20:10] <guntbert> vlad9001: if you have a power/battery icon: right click on that, select preferences
[20:10] <vlad9001> guntbert: no icon there... :)
[20:12] <CTtechguy> guntbert: can you add it to the taskbar?
[20:12] <guntbert> vlad9001: so you are in the same situation as I am :-)) please have a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/71033/closing-the-lid-isnt-toggeling-standby-anymore-after-update-in-lubuntu-how-can (didn't help me, but...)
[20:13] <wxl> guntbert: i don't see you refuting the answers provided there. are you saying they don't work?
[20:13] <guntbert> CTtechguy: I am trying (I installed lubuntu-desktop on a (more-or-less standard ubuntu)
[20:14] <guntbert> wxl: they don't work for *me*, because I don't have /usr/share/applications/xfce4-power-manager-settings.desktop ...
[20:14] <vlad9001> thank you
[20:14] <vlad9001> i'll try
[20:15] <wxl> guntbert: have you filed a bug?
[20:15] <wxl> (i believe that if it requires further software, it's a bug, whether or not that further software makes it work)
[20:16] <guntbert> wxl: not yet, against what package would I file it?
[20:16] <CTtechguy> guntbert: how about -> sudo /usr/bin/xfce4-power-manager-settings
[20:17] <guntbert> CTtechguy: not here, apparently lubuntu-desktop doesn't pull in everything...
[20:18] <CTtechguy> can you install it from the repo?
[20:21] <guntbert> CTtechguy: if it is xfce4-power-manager, yes just installing
[20:23] <CTtechguy> let me know if that works
[20:24] <guntbert> CTtechguy: hm .. that gives "xfce4-power-manager is not running. Do you want to start it?", on affirmative answer it said something about dbus..., now it started
[20:25] <CTtechguy> can you now launch it?
[20:26] <guntbert> CTtechguy: yes, I launched it, made the appropriate settings and will test them - if it work I will be back in a minute - if not i will stay :-))
[20:26] <CTtechguy> great glad you have it running!
[20:28] <guntbert> CTtechguy: hey, it worked but I was offline so shortly that I was not disconnected :-)
[20:29] <guntbert> CTtechguy: can you confirm that xfce4-power-manager is part of the standard lubuntu installation?
[20:29] <wxl> guntbert: you'd file the bug against lxpanel as /usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins/batt.so is included with that package
[20:29] <wxl> sorry for the delay had a couple things going on
[20:30] <CTtechguy> yes it is a package in the standard install
[20:31] <wxl> yep it is actually
[20:31] <wxl> xfce4-power-manager: Installed: 1.0.10-5ubuntu1
[20:31] <guntbert> wxl: if you read back you will see why it could not be there - so that might be a different bug - probably against lubuntu-desktop
[20:31] <guntbert> CTtechguy: thx
[20:31] <CTtechguy> np
[20:32] <wxl> ahhh i see
[20:32] <wxl> the power manager isn't running
[20:32] <guntbert> wxl: not only not running but not even installed
[20:32] <wxl> that's certainly strange
[20:33] <guntbert> wxl: I installed lubuntu-desktop on a (more-or-less standard) ubuntu
[20:35] <guntbert> wxl: maybe worth looking what else is missing (from the important packages :-))
[20:35] <wxl> guntbert: well i will say this-- i've found that lubuntu on ubuntu != lubuntu
[20:37] <guntbert> wxl: true, but I say: lets file bugs to get the funcionality users may expect
[20:37] <wxl> guntbert: what ubuntu u on?
[20:38] <guntbert> wxl: oneiric
[20:39] <wxl> guntbert: if you installed lubuntu-desktop without recommends you would not get xfce4-power-manager http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/lubuntu-desktop
[20:42] <guntbert> wxl: true - now one can argue if it really should be in the same class as abiword and ace-of penguins :-)
[20:50] <wxl> guntbert: well, think about it this way-- not EVERYONE has a laptop. in fact, it's more likely people will use abiword.
[20:52] <guntbert> wxl: I concede in regard to abiword, but ace-of-penguins? But I don't want to fence words here - I will file a bug against lubuntu-desktop to depend on xfce4-power-manager and not only recommend it
[20:53] <guntbert> sensible?
[21:31] <sere> anyone have experience gettingthe iphone4 to work
[21:35] <Unit193> sere: This isn't quite the channel for iPhone (unless you want sync with Lubuntu), ##iphone may be better, or find even better one with /msg alis list *iphone*
[21:35] <Flazer> how would i remove a package update from appearing?
[21:36] <Flazer> example...i don't want to install the firefox/mozilla package updates since i uninstalled firefox
[21:37] <Unit193> If it's uninstalled, it doesn't tell you about them. You may have missed a package, try dpkg -l |grep -i firefox or sudo apt-get autoremove
[21:38] <Flazer> thx, will try
[21:38] <sere> when i try to sync my iphone4 i got an error saying "Unhandled Lockdown error (-4)"
[22:30] <she-ra> how do i generate an xorg.conf file? I think I know how but i'm supposed to stop the gdm or lightdm service first but those arent in lubuntu apparently or something
[22:30] <Unit193> lxdm
[22:30] <she-ra> ok thx
[22:30] <Unit193> !xorgconf
[22:30] <ubottu> The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax.
[22:53] <DrPenguin> hey there.. I just installed lubuntu.. but im noticing the application launcher does not raise to the top when I open it with other apps running ona workspace. where do I go to make it actually raise to the top?

[22:57] <Unit193> Take your pick. ;)
[22:57] <DrPenguin> o_o;
[22:58] <DrPenguin> i may just opt for another application launcher then..
[22:58] <Unit193> gmrun is a bit different, but still nice.
[22:59] <DrPenguin> I like bashrun
[22:59] <Unit193> Those are all the same bug, just reported many times.
[22:59] <DrPenguin> Oh I assumed so
[23:00] <DrPenguin> oh! gmrun! thats what crunchbang uses
[23:01] <Unit193> There are many to choose from, just lxpanel has that by default, and comes with Lubuntu. You will have to edit .openbox/lubuntu-rc too (something like that, tab will help you find it)
[23:02] <wxl> Unit193: you mean ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml ?
[23:02] <DrPenguin> is that in /etc/xdg?
[23:02] <Unit193> DrPenguin: That's in your homedir.
[23:03] <DrPenguin> fraid not, there is no openbox folder in !
[23:03] <DrPenguin> s/!/~/
[23:03] <Unit193> wxl: I knew it had openbox, lubuntu and rc in there.
[23:03] <Unit193> DrPenguin: wxl has the correct location.
[23:03] <wxl> DrPenguin: ~/.config/openbox/…
[23:03] <DrPenguin> that would be correct
