| [01:19] <ianorlin> Replop: for the command line there is smbclient but I personally don't use samba | |
| [01:20] <ianorlin> the -i option would work for the ip adress | |

| [01:24] <ubottu> gigolo (source: gigolo): frontend to manage connections to remote filesystems using GIO/GVfs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.2-1 (trusty), package size 130 kB, installed size 1001 kB | |
| [01:25] <holstein> Replop: you can add gigolo, which is a nice GUI tool for mounting network shares | |
| [01:32] <Replop> I tried smb4k but didn't got any share mounted. | |
| [01:32] <Replop> trying gigolo now | |
| [01:33] <holstein> Replop: the trick is, you need to mount the share somewhere, or use samba | |
| [01:33] <holstein> !samba | |
| [01:33] <ubottu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html | |
| [01:52] <Replop> oh neat | |
| [01:52] <Replop> trying to mount the share lead to headaches , smb4k didn't work as well as advertised , but gigolo did it in 3 clics | |
| [01:54] <holstein> right.. its a nice GUI tool | |
| [01:55] <holstein> for many network shares.. ssh, samba.. ftp.. sftp.. handy | |
| [02:02] <Replop> it showed only one share , the one the file browser had already mounted by not made accessible to terminal | |
| [02:03] <holstein> Replop: you can cd to the location you tell gigolo to mount to.. | |
| [02:03] <holstein> or, manually mount | |
| [02:03] <Replop> can't cd smb://host/share | |
| [02:03] <holstein> you cant just "willy nilly" cd to "smb://someip/where-ever" | |
| [02:03] <holstein> Replop: correct | |
| [02:03] <holstein> Replop: you *mount* the share.. then, cd to the mount point | |
| [02:03] <Replop> yeah. | |
| [02:04] <Replop> PCManFM , the default file manager , mount shares to strange places | |
| [02:04] <Replop> in the depths of /run | |
| [02:05] <holstein> Replop: mount where you like, friend | |
| [02:05] <holstein> !mount | |
| [02:05] <ubottu> mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | |

| [02:05] <holstein> Replop: the problem is not where things are mounting..if you want to mount them elsewhere, do so. the issue is that you are not cd-ing to the mounted location | |
| [02:08] <Replop> mounting stuff could be a one clic process | |
| [02:08] <holstein> Replop: sure.. feel free and file a wishlist bug, if you like | |

| [02:09] <holstein> Replop: ideally, windows could integrate a tool into the windows operating system to make it easier. or just automatically work | |
| [02:09] <Replop> windows ? | |
| [02:09] <holstein> Replop: i use gigolo, and it seems to work pretty easily, considering, the windows shares never promised i could access them from anything but windows | |
| [02:09] <holstein> Replop: samba | |
| [02:09] <holstein> !samba | |
| [02:09] <ubottu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html | |
| [02:10] <holstein> ^ note the "windows" share | |
| [02:10] <Replop> noted | |
| [02:11] <holstein> otherwise, there are many ways to mount network shares in native filesystems that you may find "easier".. though, typically with convinience comes the compromise in security | |
| [02:11] <Replop> well, those shares are actually on a nas running some flavor of linux and using cifs, so I presume I could have done that without samba at all, but this did seem the easiest | |
| [02:12] <Replop> gigolo works great :) | |
| [02:14] <holstein> also, main ubuntu may have tools that automatically try and integrate with windows shares like that "out of the box" | |
| [02:19] <Replop> possibly. but that is an older machine and the main ubuntu distrib was a bit slow | |
| [02:20] <holstein> Replop: sure.. these integrated tools that make it easy, such as providing a method for you to just 'click and mount shares' can be heavier | |
| [02:20] <holstein> Replop: those arguably advanced "nice-ities" are not usually in the ligher distros | |
| [02:21] <holstein> its usually a compromise, though.. between functionality and lightness | |
| [02:21] <Replop> for now, I'm starting from a light base and adding as needed, hoping to don't go too far | |
| [02:21] <Replop> for now, that's ok | |
| [02:27] <Replop> good night | |
| [06:43] <mojo706> since lxle seems to be dead | |
| [06:43] <mojo706> can I get help with booting options when net booting | |
| [06:44] <mojo706> I meant the #lxle channel | |
| [06:44] <mojo706> is there a way when netbooting I could set it not to use the graphical installer? | |
| [06:48] <Unit193> As a rule, we don't support derivatives in here. | |
| [06:55] <mojo706> ok tell me how you would do that in lubuntu | |
| [06:56] <mojo706> Unit193, I will use the same when booting lxle | |
| [06:56] <mojo706> please | |
| [06:59] <Unit193> Sounds like what I said. And don't add 'ubiquity' to the boot options, by default it boots into a live env, not the installer. | |
| [07:03] <mojo706> so telling me how to add boot options on lubuntu is supporting lxle? how | |
| [07:04] <mojo706> btw its a net install | |
| [07:05] <Unit193> So, not netbooting, but using the mini.iso? That doesn't have a "graphical" installer exactly, but an ncurses one. | |
| [07:08] <mojo706> no I am net booting | |
| [07:09] <mojo706> I have a PXE server | |
| [07:09] <mojo706> but it gets stuck when trying to load the gui | |
| [07:09] <mojo706> I dont know why | |
| [07:11] <mojo706> Unit193, can you help? | |
| [12:13] <switchtehbeat> how do I change power settings in lubuntu on a laptop/netbook? | |
| [12:13] <switchtehbeat> the screen brightness won't go down for some reason :/ | |
| [12:33] <switchtehbeat> anyone? | |
| [12:56] <switchtehbeat> google helped me sort it :) | |
| [13:56] <phillw> switchtehbeat: hi, it's always worth checking on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ if a solution is not there and you find, please do add it so others can more quickly solve thee issue that you had. | |
| [13:57] <phillw> we can tidy up an entry, just get the instructions on there :) | |
| [16:41] <mhlds> cant find steam in lubuntu software center :s | |
| [16:43] <testdr> mhlds: maybe you try "synaptic" and search for steam | |
| [16:47] <genii> You might need to add multiverse | |
| [17:09] <mhlds> genii how do i do that? | |
| [17:14] <genii> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding_Ubuntu_Software_Repositories | |
| [17:15] <mhlds> thx :) | |
| [17:16] <mhlds> btw. is it any programs like powerdvd to linux? i want to play bluray iso files with the menus and all that | |
| [17:17] <genii> BluRay is problemmatic under linux, unfortunately | |
| [17:17] <mhlds> i see :\ | |

| [19:49] <wxl> !info openbox-themes | |

| [19:49] <wxl> oh fooey | |

| [19:49] <wxl> quite old indeed | |
| [19:52] <wxl> well there was a new maintainer in 1.0.2. so that might have been the problem :) | |
| [19:52] <Gatis> So | |
| [19:52] <Gatis> What now? | |
| [19:52] <Unit193> The mail kind of said it, dead upstream. | |
| [19:52] <wxl> oh i didn't see said mail | |
| [19:52] <Gatis> so i shouldn't install it? | |
| [19:53] <wxl> suffice it to say, Gatis, no one is maintaining it. like not for ubuntu. not for debian. not for ANYONE ANYWHERE. | |
| [19:53] <wxl> perhaps a better way to put it is that you CAN'T install it | |
| [19:53] <Gatis> but why would you need to maintain themes? | |
| [19:53] <Gatis> that's pitty | |
| [19:53] <wxl> you could try to track down an old version and install it from source, but you're on your own | |
| [19:53] <genii> It will eat your children and houseplants if you do | |
| [19:53] <wxl> Gatis: because the software the themes run on changes | |
| [19:53] <Gatis> genii, fool | |
| [19:53] <wxl> oh now be nice Gatis | |
| [19:54] <Gatis> wxl, you be nice | |
| [19:54] <Gatis> all of you | |
| [19:54] <genii> I guess i could have not been so snarky. | |
| [19:55] <wxl> genii: i laughed at your obviously not serious comment | |
| [19:55] <Unit193> https://github.com/mulberry?tab=repositories has a couple. | |
