=== jackson_ is now known as Noskcaj
[06:52] <k73sk> The peppermint os chat is dead, can someone help me out here with some problems I'm having?
[06:53] <Noskcaj> k73sk, what desktop does it use?
[06:53] <k73sk> LXDE
[06:53] <k73sk> peppermint three
[06:53] <Noskcaj> whats the problem
[06:53] <k73sk> I'm getting the awesome plymouth disconnected error
[06:54] <Noskcaj> ?
[06:54] <k73sk> All I did was remove quiet and splash from my /etc/default/grub, did update-grub, and then now I can't login unless I'm in text. If I try logging in after startx, it gives me that error
[06:54] <Noskcaj> could you google the problem. not really the place to ask and i'm not quite sure what that means
[06:54] <k73sk> I did, I've tried tons of "solutions" with all failing
[06:55] <k73sk> Most people seem to have the problem after installing nvidia drivers and stuff.
[06:55] <k73sk> But I didn't do that, so it's quite different
[06:57] <k73sk> "mountall: Plymouth command failed, mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth"
[07:00] <Unit193> This isn't really the place to go for that, but try reversing what you did and add those options back in.
[07:00] <k73sk> Yeah I did.
[07:01] <k73sk> would the fact my /home being encryped have something to do with it failing
[14:33] <CrashTest> hello
[14:33] <CrashTest> anyone here using skype in lubuntu?
[15:11] <LDI> Hello
[15:12] <LDI> Someone here? :)
[16:02] <sepisoad> holstein, I made a simple mock-up of the global menu, here is the link: http://postimage.org/image/hj6e9bjin/
[16:06] <sepisoad> please tell me if this can be done, or it just does not fit into lubuntu desktop
[16:06] <holstein> sepisoad: im not following
[16:07] <sepisoad> holstein, what do you mean? you don't like it?
[16:07] <holstein> sepisoad: i dont understand what you are talking about
[16:07] <holstein> are you talking about the file menu?
[16:07] <holstein> did you remove window decorations by running compiz?
[16:07] <holstein> sepisoad: i just have that menu
[16:08] <holstein> sepisoad: we dont need a tool to add them since i am not clear on what you have done to remove them
[16:08] <sepisoad> okey, tried to attach the main menu of the application to title bar
[16:08] <holstein> sepisoad: attach?
[16:08] <holstein> sepisoad: im not clear on why its not there?
[16:09] <sepisoad> do you see the menu next to XChat logo in title bar?
[16:09] <holstein> sepisoad: sure.. but i just see that. by default
[16:10] <holstein> sepisoad: im not sure what you have dont to remove that functionality, and why/how you are trying to add it back
[16:10] <sepisoad> holstein, no, if you run XChat app the menu is attached below the title bar
[16:11] <holstein> sepisoad: i dont use xchat.. is this an xchat specific issue? what version?
[16:12] <sepisoad> holstein, okey let me give you another screenshot, so you'll get my point, BTW most applications have menu bar, so it's not XChat specific
[16:13] <holstein> sepisoad: if most have them and xchat doesnt, then thats xchat specific
[16:13] <holstein> sepisoad: im not trying to be combative, im just not following at all
[16:13] * holstein installs xchat
[16:15] <sepisoad> holstein, this is original XChat application with main menu bar attached below title bar like any other application : http://www.tinyuploads.com/images/wGJ1Uv.png
[16:16] <sepisoad> holstein, so if you compare 2 you'll see the diff
[16:20] <sepisoad> holstein, did you the second screenshot?
[16:20] <holstein> sepisoad: sure
[16:20] <holstein> sepisoad: whats the question?
[16:21] <sepisoad> holstein, XChat is only an example, I wanted to suggest to relocate menu bars to a specific place inside title bar, for all application
[16:22] <holstein> sepisoad: i would look for a window manager that does that
[16:22] <sepisoad> holstein, of curse and lubuntu uses openbox right?
[16:23] <holstein> sepisoad: sure.. so there might be a way to customize that in the rc.xml
[16:24] <sepisoad> holstein, cool, do you know where this file can be found
[16:24] <sepisoad> is it in home directory?
[16:24] <holstein> there is ~/.config/openbox or something like that.. but i have *no* idea where or if those settings exist
[16:25] <sepisoad> holstein, thanks, i'm reading it
[22:13] <StevenX> Hi everyone. I'm trying to install a persistent lubuntu on a USB drive. I tried to use unetbootin
[22:13] <StevenX> but it doesn't create a persistent install
[22:13] <Unit193> Do you have windows?
[22:14] <StevenX> Unit193: I do. I am also running Ubuntu on a virtual machine so I can use that as well.
[22:14] <Unit193> That is to say, are you trying or can you try to make it from there? Great, download and use LiLi, best thing to create bootable drives and a bummer it doesn't run on Linux. :P
[22:15] <StevenX> Unit193: OK, I will use that.
[22:15] <StevenX> Unit193: Wonder why unetbootin doesn't work.
[22:15] <StevenX> :-(
[22:16] <Unit193> I stopped using that a while ago, it generally works well enough, but not for what I needed.
[22:17] <StevenX> OK cool. I'll try LiLi and see how that goes.
[22:17] <StevenX> If that doesn't work I'm going to try and create it within Ubuntu.
[22:19] <Unit193> (http://www.linuxliveusb.com/) USB creator may be able to do it, yeah.
[22:22] <StevenX> Unit193: Thanks, I'll go try this thing out!
