| [13:52] <hide-san_> Hello | |
| [13:53] <hide-san_> I just started Lubuntu 13 and would like to swap CTRL key and Caps Lock key. | |
| [13:54] <hide-san_> However xmodmap does not work well. (the swap setup is reset after some actions. I cannot figured out the actions yet. | |
| [13:54] <hide-san_> Anybody know how to swap capslock and ctrl key? | |
| [14:03] <Greylocks> hide-san_: Have you tried changing them in rc.xml? | |
| [14:05] <hide-san_> Hi Greylocks. No, I haven't. | |
| [14:05] <hide-san_> Let me try. Could you give me any reference (web) if you have the link handy? | |
| [14:10] <Greylocks> hide-san_: This should help: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Configuration | |
| [14:12] <hide-san_> Checking the page now. | |
| [14:17] <hide-san_> Greylocks: Sorry I could not figure out what to do from the web. | |
| [14:17] <hide-san_> The keyboard section has the link to http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings#Key_bindings | |
| [14:18] <hide-san_> But this is to setup "short cut" by defining the linkage between "keys" and "action" (But not swap CTRL and CAPS_LOCK) | |
| [14:18] <hide-san_> Would you tell me where to check on the web? | |
| [14:21] <Greylocks> hide-san_: I figured that you could remap the keys in there...perhaps try a google search. | |
| [14:23] <SLit> Hi! I have problem installing lubuntu on mac mini. At one point installer freezes and my screen stops to flash, filicker... Afther that I can't do nothing | |
| [14:31] <SLit> Anybody? | |
| [14:31] <Kriss3d> Hi everyone. Uhmm for some reason my Huawei E173 wont connect. any known issues ? | |
| [14:31] <Kriss3d> Im using latest Lubuntu and tried serveral of those odd spanish driver packs that people suggest | |
| [14:54] <phillw> SLit: it probably better to email the testing email list. That's where the MAC people hang out. | |
| [14:55] <phillw> SLit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/PPC%26Mac64 has further details and some useful links to follow. | |
| [14:56] <phillw> Kriss3d: we share the same drivers as all of the *buntu familiy... let me have a dig for you. | |
| [14:58] <phillw> Kriss3d: http://askubuntu.com/questions/179324/huawei-e173-on-ubuntu-12-04 has two solutions (I'd try the swapping the usb port 1st... I've had that one myself with huawei in the past) | |
| [15:16] <SLit> @ phillw I tought maybe I could use aletranative cd. It looks like(maybe it isn't) that It is to demanding for mac mini from 2006 | |
| [15:19] <phillw> SLit: I don't have any experience with macs. There is a small team on the testing team. If you're emailing them please prefix the subject [PPC] so that they know it is for mac and not general query. the settings for graphics are dependeant on which graphics card you have installed (2 different solutions for 2 different makes). That is why we do not have one overall answer for graphics issues :/ | |
| [15:19] <SLit> Ok | |
| [15:20] <SLit> I will try first with alletrantive cd, then I will e-mail | |
| [15:21] <phillw> SLit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Configure_graphics has background on the graphics issues. | |
| [15:23] <SLit> I don't have issues with graphics. Everythig looks ok. It just freezes at some point. I whent on Internet adn tryed | |
| [15:23] <SLit> and then tried | |
| [15:23] <SLit> to load terminal, and may computer freezed | |
| [15:24] <SLit> Also when I try to install | |
| [15:24] <phillw> the video flashing seems to be a the cause of your freeze. | |
| [15:24] <phillw> get the video to work and you may well find it installs fine. | |
| [15:25] <SLit> Could be... | |
| [15:25] <phillw> but, the guys on the mailing list are your best bet for help :) | |
| [15:25] <SLit> Thank you man :-) | |
| [17:55] <thor480> phillw: It`s just the name there is wrong. lxqt-about is really lxqt-session. I am running the lxqt desktop right now | |
| [18:05] <phillw> okies | |
| [20:31] <koell> hey phillw | |
| [20:34] <phillw> hi koell | |
| [20:57] <thor480> phillw: The name has been changes. So thanks | |
| [21:08] <mrpl> Can I upgrade my 13.10 to 12.04.4 LTS by changing the repos and updating/upgrading ?...thanks | |
| [21:16] <gomiboy> mrpl: no, you can't, you'll have to reinstall... or wait a couple months for 14.04 if you really want a LTS :) | |
| [21:16] <ianorlin> no you cannot also lubuntu 12.04 wasn't a long term support release | |
| [21:17] <gomiboy> plus ianorlin is right :D | |
| [21:18] <mrpl> I'll wait....13.10 dosn't expire til july I believe | |
| [21:19] <mrpl> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | |
| [21:20] <mrpl> I thionk 12.04 is LTS with the 12.04.4 update | |
| [21:21] <gomiboy> ubuntu 12.04 is LTS, but *lubuntu* 12.04 is not... i can't even remember why, but that's it | |
| [21:22] <mrpl> oh...I forgot that rumor.... | |
| [21:22] <phillw> thor480: yes, it was a more of a typo as he was rushing :) | |
| [21:23] <phillw> gomiboy: 2 reasons why lubuntu 12.04 is not lts... 1) we lacked man power 2) we were not permitted it be lts even if he had man power :) | |
| [21:23] <phillw> s/he/we | |
| [21:23] <mrpl> not permitted ? | |
| [21:24] <phillw> you need to have 2 releases before you can have lts. 12.04 was our 2nd release and thus not elligible to be lts | |
| [21:25] <mrpl> maybe 14.04 then ? | |
| [21:25] <phillw> 14.04 IS to be LTS :) | |
| [21:25] <mrpl> if manpower permits? | |
| [21:25] <phillw> that is why it is purely a bug fix of 13.10 (our stable beta of 14,04). | |
| [21:27] <thor480> phillw: :-D | |
| [21:27] <gomiboy> mrpl: if you can't wait there is http://lxle.net/ but don't come here asking for help then, it's absolutely unofficial ;) | |
| [21:28] <phillw> have a read of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/14.04 | |
| [21:28] <mrpl> I've been tunning a full install of 13.10 on a 32 gb partioned multiboot micro sd card since October 2013 | |
| [21:29] <mrpl> to see how long til the write back wear and tear slows me down, so far so good | |
| [21:29] <phillw> I've been on 14.04 since before Christmas as my production machine to thoroughly soak test it ready for LTS.... It's bomb proof :D | |
| [21:30] <mrpl> Our first LTS nice | |
| [21:30] <ianorlin> I installed it on an external hard drive on new years day | |
| [21:31] <mrpl> 2.5 " in a case ? | |
| [21:33] <ianorlin> yeah got two of them for my birthday last year | |
| [21:33] <mrpl> that's pretty ok | |
| [21:36] <mrpl> I have a hdd-less laptop so use the boot from portable device, the smaller in size the better | |
| [21:37] <mrpl> lubuntu runs the best from a full install , better than mint lxde ,crunchbang | |
