| [02:15] <Ahmuck> looks like i am missing codecs for vlc | |
| [02:15] <Ahmuck> how do i get multimedia codecs for vlc or do i need another player? | |
| [02:15] <ActionParsnip> Ahmuck: did you install lubuntu-restricted-extras | |
| [02:29] <silverarrow> hi | |
| [02:29] <silverarrow> wonder if I should try mandriva | |
| [02:30] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: why not, good to try new stuff but how is that a Lubuntu question? | |
| [02:30] <silverarrow> well, I am sticking with lubuntu | |
| [02:31] <silverarrow> do you have lubuntu installed on a laptop ? | |
| [02:32] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: I do | |
| [02:32] <silverarrow> could you do me a favor? | |
| [02:33] <silverarrow> check htop and see how much ram usage you have? | |
| [02:33] <ActionParsnip> possibly | |
| [02:33] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: although I'll use: free -m | |
| [02:34] <silverarrow> well point is mostly ram usage | |
| [02:34] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: 500Mb with samba, transmission, fatrat, ssh and samba running | |
| [02:34] <silverarrow> I see | |
| [02:34] <silverarrow> how large is cpu? | |
| [02:34] <silverarrow> core2duo or more like i7 | |
| [02:34] <ActionParsnip> just killed vlc and now using 340Mb | |
| [02:35] <ActionParsnip> core2duo at 1.2Ghz dual core | |
| [02:35] <silverarrow> which still is on the good side | |
| [02:35] <ActionParsnip> its enough for the job | |
| [02:36] <silverarrow> I doubt there is anything you can`t do with a laptop like that | |
| [02:37] <silverarrow> unless you are a serious gamer | |
| [02:37] <ActionParsnip> flash struggles with lots of 3D stuff, otherwise its ok | |
| [02:37] <ActionParsnip> i can game on it, but not super well | |
| [02:37] <silverarrow> yeah, 3D might be an issue too, I thought it had a lot to do with graphics? | |
| [02:38] <silverarrow> I never game much anyhow | |
| [02:39] <ActionParsnip> it plays urban terror fine, needs an external mouse | |
| [02:39] <silverarrow> I can hardly push the powerpc cpu much beyond 300mb | |
| [02:39] <silverarrow> cool | |
| [02:39] <silverarrow> but I only have 512 | |
| [02:39] <silverarrow> wonder if it is any difference if I get a 1GB card | |
| [02:40] <ActionParsnip> 3Gb here, but its a low end Intel GPU which sucks. I mainly game on my media PC which isn't much better but has an nvidia 6150 512Mb which plays it nicely :) | |
| [02:41] <silverarrow> I am seriously considering a samsung | |
| [02:41] <silverarrow> or a macbook because of the retina screen | |
| [02:42] <silverarrow> nice to watch films on | |
| [02:42] <silverarrow> maybe tv | |
| [02:42] <silverarrow> however tv is not so good anyhow | |
| [02:42] <silverarrow> flash quality is soso, best screen really doesn`t matter too mch | |
| [02:43] <ActionParsnip> want me a fitpc | |
| [02:43] <holstein> flash? like web flash? | |
| [02:43] <silverarrow> well, like regular adobe flash | |
| [02:43] <holstein> i wouldnt making any purchasing decisions based on that... its not on android anymore.. is it on ios? | |
| [02:43] <silverarrow> there is silverlight versions available | |
| [02:44] <holstein> silverlight wont be around long for sure | |
| [02:44] <ActionParsnip> Linux silverlight is being canned | |
| [02:44] <silverarrow> maybe not, but I do feel the screen is one of the best points of the macbook | |
| [02:44] <holstein> yup.. still, is it worth the $$? | |
| [02:44] <ActionParsnip> mac is far too expensive for what you get | |
| [02:44] <silverarrow> that is debateable | |
| [02:45] <silverarrow> what I like about macbook pros are the aluminum casing, very light weight, really nice screen, all right sound | |
| [02:46] <ActionParsnip> a lot of laptops have that now, its nothing special | |
| [02:46] <silverarrow> you get the i7 cpu and flash drive if that is point | |
| [02:46] <holstein> i dont think so.. comparing hardware to hardware, mac is more.. with the same specs.. thats not debatable | |
| [02:46] <silverarrow> I have only found samsung that I find comparable ? | |
| [02:47] <holstein> in what? look? | |
| [02:47] <silverarrow> though I don`t know all brands or models | |
| [02:48] <silverarrow> well looks are a pluss, but samsung seem very solid and well put together too | |
| [02:48] <holstein> the asus one is nice | |
| [02:48] <silverarrow> I would consider a asus | |
| [02:48] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: lenovo kicked out a nice ultrabook, not bad at all | |
| [02:49] <silverarrow> I read somewhere the retina screen technology is 10 years old, and should have reached the marked years ago, so maybe other nice screen are turning up now too | |
| [02:49] <silverarrow> I am all up for suggestions | |
| [02:49] <ActionParsnip> Toshiba Portege's aren't too shabby either | |
| [02:50] <silverarrow> I am slightly hesitant on the mac hardware they work so hard to be a world of their own | |
| [02:50] <silverarrow> I suppose they are general pc these days | |
| [02:51] <silverarrow> the non-pc agrument went down the drain with the powerpc architecture I suppose | |
| [02:53] <silverarrow> in the past mac had very bad sound | |
| [02:53] <silverarrow> even the first macbooks | |
| [02:53] <silverarrow> it has improved | |
| [02:54] <silverarrow> I`m not thinking of lound volume or high fidelity, more bearable and non-painful | |
| [02:55] <silverarrow> I am hoping some company make an effort to outdo the apple laptop lol | |
| [02:55] <silverarrow> give them a run for their money for a while | |
| [09:51] <leszek> hi | |
| [10:02] <Ascavasaion> Welcome back leszek . | |
| [10:14] <leszek> thx | |

| [12:38] <jb> Hi. I want to update the openbox menu.xml, but cant figure out which one to update. I have updated the one in /usr/share/lubuntu/openbox and expected that to update the right-click menu. Do I need to reload something ror will that work once I reload lxde? | |
| [12:39] <jb> ...or should I update the one in .config? | |
| [12:50] <leszek> the one in /usr/share/... ist the global config for all users | |
| [12:50] <leszek> but if you have one config in your home folder than this one will be used instead of the global one | |
| [12:52] <jb> and then I just restart openbox? | |
| [12:56] <leszek> jb: exactly | |
| [12:56] <jb> leszek: thanks! | |
| [15:08] <faLUCE> hi. For some funny weird reason, If I execute MyLongNamedScriptFooooooo , in the list of processes I only see the firs 15 chars of the name | |
| [15:08] <faLUCE> why? | |
| [15:08] <faLUCE> 12.04 | |
| [15:09] <holstein> space? .. what list? top? | |
| [15:09] <faLUCE> holstein: no, there are not spaces | |
| [15:09] <faLUCE> yes: top | |
| [15:09] <holstein> its just a list.. i would expect space to be the reason | |
| [15:09] <holstein> truncation for space | |
| [15:10] <faLUCE> no, there's not a space. I'm sure | |
| [15:11] <holstein> faLUCE: space like the space on the screen | |
| [15:11] <holstein> its shortened to take up less space in that top report | |
| [15:11] <faLUCE> anyway, if I want to kill the process, I have to write killall -SIGKILL first15chars | |
| [15:11] <faLUCE> holstein: no, no | |
| [15:11] <holstein> there are many ways to kill | |
| [15:11] <holstein> faLUCE: ok... then why do you think it is truncated in that report? | |
| [15:11] <faLUCE> ok, but I want to use killall | |
| [15:11] <faLUCE> holstein: i don't know | |
| [15:12] <holstein> faLUCE: we should not speculate.. i would go to a main support channel or try the mailing list | |
| [15:12] <holstein> i usually kill with PID | |
| [15:13] <faLUCE> holstein: wich is the main support channel? | |
| [15:13] <holstein> http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/46979-pid-length.html is relevant | |
| [15:14] <holstein> faLUCE: i was thinking #ubuntu.. but any more general linux channel | |
| [15:14] <faLUCE> holstein: I see, thanks | |
| [15:14] <holstein> says, from system to system | |
| [15:15] <holstein> i was guessing that at some point the name gets truncated | |
| [15:15] <holstein> space... ease of use... not sure why | |
| [15:19] <faLUCE> tnx again | |
| [21:38] <FreeMansMind> How would I change my DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 that google provides? | |
| [21:40] <TheMaster> Network icon at the bottom > Edit Connections > Wired or Wireless > Edit | |
| [21:45] <FreeMansMind> where do i type the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in this edit window ? | |
| [21:45] <FreeMansMind> DNS SERVERS: 8.8.8.8 and Search Domains: 8.8.4.4 or? | |
| [21:48] <TheMaster> DNS servers: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 | |
| [22:01] <FreeMansMind> TheMaster, thank you | |
| [22:05] <TheMaster> You're welcome. | |
| [22:55] <FreeMansMind> is there a free software like ccleaner ? | |
| [22:55] <FreeMansMind> i guess it wont work in ubuntu. | |
| [22:58] <silverarrow> are you worried about adware? | |
| [22:59] <silverarrow> I don't think cc leaner would work for ubuntu even kif they made a version | |
| [22:59] <silverarrow> you would need something different | |
| [23:00] <silverarrow> not sure where linux needs tidying up as time goes | |
| [23:03] <TheMaster> !info bleachbit | |

| [23:05] <silverarrow> ooooh, a linux master | |

| [23:16] <FreeMansMind> bleachit seems to be perfect. does it run with terminal commands? | |
