| [00:07] <basketball> holstein, or Pici how do i sync the caps indicator on the keyboard between usb keyboard and laptop keyboard | |
| [00:17] <phillw> basketball: if you hang around long enough for an answer, we did have a play a little earlier... there is some good news and some bad news. | |
| [00:19] <phillw> the bad news is that the devices seem to have it 'hard wired' into them as to what state they are in as, for example, an USB keyboard would need to send the computer the ASCII code for A when you have Caps / Shift in use, as opposed to a. | |
| [00:21] <phillw> the good news? So, I guess the answer is to add Keyboard LED settings to your task bar, as it reports correctly which ever keyboard sets caps / num lock :) | |
| [00:22] <wxl> basketball: ↑ | |
| [00:22] <phillw> mine is to far right of my task bar (it can also handle scroll lock). | |
| [00:23] <basketball> phillw, i had to install new irc client | |
| [00:23] <basketball> how do i do that | |
| [00:23] <phillw> basketball: if you run 14.04 it is an option... I never saw it in 13.10, but someone here should be able to say if it was on there. | |
| [00:24] <basketball> 13.10 | |
| [00:24] <wxl> i'm pretty sure it's | |
| [00:24] <wxl> there | |
| [00:25] <wxl> i don't have it in front of me but i've come across it before | |
| [00:25] <wxl> just right click on the "system tray" and edit settings basketball | |
| [00:25] <phillw> wxl: is Keyboard LED Settings in the 13.10 task bar... I've had a tidy up so only have 14.04 | |
| [00:25] <basketball> wxl, where is the system tray | |
| [00:26] <wxl> basketball: bottom right | |
| [00:26] <wxl> phillw: not in front of me | |
| [00:33] <phillw> basketball: it is the menu bar... right click on a part of it that is empty and you will see 'Add / Remove Panel Items' then click on the tab 'Panel Applets'. from there you can add new applets to the bar. Where you place KeyBoard LED is up to you... | |
| [00:34] <phillw> I have mine on the far right, after my CPU monitor, CPU temp, clock :) | |
| [00:36] <phillw> basketball: what is piglet up to department goes on the right for me... you can choose how that bar is set up... one of the many beauties of the bar... put it where you want, put on it what you and in what order :) | |
| [00:39] <phillw> basketball: http://imagebin.org/297468 | |
| [01:14] <basketball> phillw, how do i do that in ubuntu | |
| [01:15] <wxl> basketball: join #ubuntu for help with that | |
| [01:15] <basketball> wxl what can i google | |
| [01:16] <wxl> basketball: you can google how do i join #ubuntu so i can ask them how to do something :) | |
| [01:16] <wxl> basketball: you'll find that in general ubuntu folks don't use lubuntu and vice versa. so point your questions in the right direction. | |
| [01:16] <basketball> i have aske so many times there no one answers in there | |
| [01:17] <wxl> basketball: so you either left before someone answered or no one knows. alternately, you can use askubuntu or the ubuntu forum | |
| [01:18] <basketball> what is this called the syncing the lights | |
| [01:20] <wxl> basketball: syncronizing the caps lock status of your two keyboards, which is what you asked about | |
| [01:22] <basketball> thanks | |
| [01:33] <basketball> wxl, still no one has answered | |
| [01:33] <wxl> basketball: still, i can't help you, and it's unlikely that anywhere here can. asking us to help isn't going to change that fact. again i recommend askubuntu or the ubuntu forum. | |
| [01:45] <ianorlin> I had that problem with with vm once that it was backwards | |

| [08:39] <Aiena3> How do i install Apche alone on lubuntu ? | |
| [08:40] <Aiena3> there are seceral packages and ia am confused as to what i need | |
| [08:40] <Aiena3> *several Apache | |
| [08:42] <Unit193> apache2 has the config and init scripts, -bin is the actual bins and modules. | |
| [08:44] <Aiena3> Unit193, so only those 2 are needed for a basic website | |
| [08:44] <Aiena3> I was just setting one up locally for practice | |
| [08:44] <Aiena3> so this wont be linked to the net | |
| [08:44] <Unit193> apache2 will install -bins. | |
| [08:44] <Aiena3> Ok | |
| [08:44] <Unit193> I'd think apache2 would be the one to install... | |
| [08:44] <Aiena3> let me try | |
| [08:45] <Aiena3> ypour right Unit193 | |
| [08:45] <Aiena3> thanks | |
| [08:46] <Aiena3> Unit193, why does apache give a warning "Not authenticated" ? | |
| [08:46] <Aiena3> *apache2 | |
| [08:46] <Unit193> Where? | |
| [08:46] <Aiena3> one sec | |
| [08:47] <Aiena3> how do I add printscreen functionality to lubuntu | |
| [08:47] <Aiena3> I can't show you a screen grab | |
| [08:48] <Unit193> It uses `scrot` by default, placing a file in ~/ | |
| [08:56] <Aiena3> one sec | |
| [08:57] <Aiena3> its there but not working as expected so reinstalling | |
| [08:58] <Aiena3> hnn mo problems now | |
| [08:58] <Aiena3> its showing the ubuntu logo next to it now | |
| [08:58] <Aiena3> seems ok | |
| [09:00] <Aiena3> thanks Unit193 | |
| [09:00] <Aiena3> Bye | |
| [11:51] <b1zz4rr0n3> hi everybody. | |
| [11:51] <b1zz4rr0n3> is there a fast metod to create desktop icon and rename it like on genome? | |
| [11:51] <b1zz4rr0n3> like on gnome-classic I mean | |
| [14:17] <leszek> hi | |
| [16:53] <cy3g2> Lubuntu installer is broken. I told it not to download updates while installing (because I just wanted to try it out in VirtualBox) but it downloaded them anyway. | |
| [16:59] <cy3g2> PCmanFM appears to be broken. Crashes the second time I used it. | |
| [17:03] <cy3g2> I really do like the artwork though. But PCManFM crashes when browsing network files. A simple "network timeout" error would be nice, instead of crashing. | |
| [17:14] <Meerkat> which version? | |
| [17:16] <cy3g2> Meerkat: Latest. | |
| [17:16] <Meerkat> 13.10? | |
| [17:17] <cy3g2> Yes. Even effing Chromium on LinuxMint crashes if it can't reach a remote host. I guess this is now becoming the trend instead of showing a "timeout error". | |
| [17:20] <Meerkat> yea, plenty of crashes. :( | |
| [17:20] <Meerkat> 14.04 crashes if you don't auth quick enough when updating | |
| [18:37] <koell> does pcmanfm also hide folders with .hidden files? | |
| [18:38] <Meerkat> koell, do you mean files with dots in front? | |
| [18:38] <Meerkat> like .mypornstash | |
| [18:39] <koell> Meerkat: i would like to hide folders without dots in front, but to declare them in a .hidden file | |
| [18:47] <koell> i may try spaceFM :) | |
| [19:31] <ianorlin> do other folders depend on that file being there? | |
| [19:42] <koell> ianorlin: it is the public_html folder. the reason i like to hide it is to keep my home directory "clean" | |
| [19:42] <koell> but it is maybe a better idea to use the /var/www folder and add myself to www-data | |
| [19:44] <wxl> koell: either way should work but i prefer the /var/www solution | |
| [19:45] <koell> wxl: do u use suphp or how did u solve the writing permission for both, php and user? | |
| [19:45] <wxl> koell: you assume i have a need for php ;) | |
| [19:45] <koell> wxl: or at least apache .9 | |
| [19:46] <wxl> koell: ew apache, i prefer nginx | |
| [19:46] <koell> wxl: does it have the same dir in /var/www? | |
| [19:46] <wxl> koell: like every other webserver, it can do whatever you want | |
| [19:46] <koell> sure :) | |
| [19:46] <koell> but i prefer default settings | |
| [19:47] <wxl> of course, but some default settings are security-minded (good) and others are convienence-minded (bad) so i always review and tailor default settings to my own likings | |
| [19:47] <wxl> i'd say that's especially something you should do with any outward facing services | |
| [20:27] <trickyhero> anynews on fixing firefox? | |
| [20:29] <Meerkat> fixing it how? | |
| [20:30] <trickyhero> on 14.04 it dosn't run | |
| [20:31] <wxl> phillw mentioned this the other day but i don't remember the bug number | |
| [20:31] <trickyhero> just wondering, it's fine I'm using chromium | |
| [20:31] <wxl> more better trickyhero :) | |
| [20:31] <wxl> this is the beast i believe https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1278062 | |
| [20:31] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1278062 in firefox (Ubuntu) "firefox crashes on startup (but apparently layunched properly to enable me to post this)" [Medium,Confirmed] | |
| [20:32] <phillw> wxl: indeed | |
| [20:32] <wxl> specific to the lubuntu session | |
| [20:32] <phillw> afaik,. Julien is looking into it. | |
| [20:32] <wxl> works in openbox session, if you want a workaround, trickyhero | |
| [20:32] <trickyhero> mine never works *shrug | |
| [20:32] <trickyhero> ah | |
| [20:33] <phillw> trickyhero: use gksudo firefox... it is a dirty hack, but will not break things for when it does get fixed. | |
| [20:33] <trickyhero> hmm, yeah I'm fine with chromium anyways, I just was curious, love this distro | |
| [20:33] <Meerkat> oh my god. It doesn't. :o | |
| [20:33] <wxl> trickyhero: if you want to know what's going on with it, subscribe to the bug | |
| [20:33] <wxl> gksudo firefox?! | |
| [20:33] <wxl> omg, phillw, i cannot believe you are honestly recommending that. | |
| [20:33] <phillw> yeah, I still have chromium from 13.10 on my machine | |
| [20:33] <wxl> at that point you might as well suggest unprotected casual sex! | |
| [20:33] <phillw> wxl: just do NOT do sudo firefox... you WILL break it! | |
| [20:34] <phillw> wxl: it is not just ffox that is borked.... this is a fairly nasty bug :( | |
| [20:34] <wxl> wow, weird | |
| [20:35] <wxl> i'm still pissed about this avahi problem i'm having. i should upgrade to 14.04 and see if it helps. | |
| [20:37] <phillw> wxl: If you do an upgrade, you will keep chromium as a browser. | |
| [20:38] <Meerkat> any news on if Lubuntu 14.04 will be LTS? | |
| [20:38] <wxl> phillw: i like chromium. in fact, i've kind of taken to installing chrome. | |
| [20:38] <phillw> Meerkat: 14.04 will be lts | |
| [20:38] <Meerkat> :o | |
| [20:38] <Meerkat> 3 or 5 years? | |
| [20:39] <wxl> isn't everything on the same lts schedule now? | |
| [20:39] * wxl wonders about kubuntu | |
| [20:39] <Meerkat> now i am happy. i can go back to lubuntu =) | |
| [20:40] <phillw> Meerkat: April 2019 is the EoL for 14.04 | |
| [20:41] <phillw> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Ubuntu_14.04_LTS_.28Trusty_Tahr.29 | |
| [20:42] <Meerkat> phillw, it doesn't say anything about lubuntu. | |
| [20:43] <phillw> Meerkat: lubuntu 14.04 is lts :) | |
| [20:44] <phillw> Meerkat: the musings of 14.04 and onwards are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/14.04 | |
| [21:43] <Meerkat> sweet. lubuntu is really light-weight | |
| [21:44] <Meerkat> I opened all programs in the menus and my 14.04 VM currently uses 34% cpu of the single core I gave it and 794 mb of 994mb. | |
| [21:45] <holstein> all programs? | |
| [21:45] <holstein> oh.. you mean, you clicked on all the icons?.. as a stress test? | |
| [21:50] <Meerkat> ya | |
| [21:50] <Meerkat> 102 processes running | |
