User2: http://db.tt/uTFfHVrW
User2: I have that script to unzip deb files, and I want it to either echo a usage note when you run it without anything, or to ask you for a name when you run it
User2: I'm not sure how
User1: can't you pastebin that somewhere? :D
User2: Not really :p
User2: I'm on my iPod touch right now
User2: I guess I could if you really wante it
User2: ?
User1: purdy plz
User2: Well hold on
User2: :p
User2: http://pastie.org/private/2w8wiepvkyowupnlu6giag
User2: Done
User3: buongiorno a tuttiÃ¹
User3: tutti*
User3: avrei bisogno di un aiuto sono passato da ubuntu a lubuntu visto che Ã¨ un pc vecchiotto ma ora volevo sapere come fare per eliminare tutto quello che non fa parte di lubuntu dal pc per renderlo pulito
User3: ho sbagliato canale o forse nessuno parla italiano ?
User4: aiuto; this is an English channel, lubuntu doesn't have an italiano channel
User3: ah ok thanks, then try using the translator to ask for help
User3: I need help I switched from ubuntu to Lubuntu as it is an old-fashioned PC but now I wanted to know how to eliminate all that is not part of Lubuntu from PC to make it clean
User4: aiuto; get the mini-iso and install "lubuntu-core". You are talking about a fresh install right?
User3: not really a terminal I gave the command apt-get install Lubuntu-desktop and now I do not know what to do to eliminate the rest
User3: ubuntu 11.10
User4: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall
User4: Easiest way is to reinstall it completely, otherwise remove ALL lubuntu packages and install lubuntu-core instead of lubuntu-desktop
User3: ok if you advise me so then drain and gate-core Lubuntu everything else, I wanted to solve without format but if it is the best solution then I have to do it
User3: terminal can not do it?
User4: aiuto; I said EASIEST, not per se the best
User3: I can install Lubuntu-core from the terminal?
User5: User3 he only way I can think of is to use the lubuntu-desktop meta package
User4: phillw; he wants just the core packages of lubuntu
User5: never tried to un-install the desktop. I can fire up a test VM if you don't mind waiting a while
User3: is what I did but I wanted to clean up your computer to remove gnome and unity
User5: User4 he installed lubuntu-desktop and now wants rid of it. That is the only way I can think of.
User3: my computer* sorry for my english
User4: Ow, you want to remove all the muck from gnome/unity?
User5: User3 you could use a variation of the psycho-cats tutorial...
User3: yes only lubuntu
User5: User3 did you just have minimal install on, or did you have another flavour of ubuntu on before?
User4: He switched from normal Ubuntu to Lubuntu it seems
User3: I had installed Ubuntu 11.10 and I gave the command to the terminal apt-get install desktop-Lubuntu
User3: yes
User5: User3 use the 'pure-lxde' at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde  just change the end bit from && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop  to && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-core
User5: that will rid you of gnome stuff etc & just put on lubuntu-core.
User5: else, you can leave it as is and get the default lubuntu-desktop.
User3: I'll be back for a moment the work is calling me tnk
User6: the lubuntu panel is misbehaving-- is it broken?  the launch apps panel got stuck on the right, and I want it on the left of the bottom panel.
User6: I also have trouble with the R COmmander-- it works perfectly on the same computer if I log in with Unity, but does not get beyond the terminal if I log in in Lubuntu
User7: hello, i have always had a weird thing with dual monitor in lubuntu where i had to have a .config script with an xrandr command,
User7: but after the last update, it stopped working and i have to execute it manually after booting into the desktop environment finishes,
User7: but stuff is still messed up...any time a window gains focus it moves itself to an area that straddles both monitors. that's extremely frustrating
User5: User6 do you mean the 'menu' icon?
User6: phil-- I mean the icons of the apps on the panel are all on the right side of the panel, on the bottom
User5: User6 I'm sorry, I know how to fix this, but am in a QA meeting - will you still be about in 1 hour if no-one else comes on to help?
User6: gphil--reat-- I'll stay on line
User4: venik212; what is the issue?
User5: User4 (16:35:15) User6 the lubuntu panel is misbehaving-- is it broken?  the launch apps panel got stuck on the right, and I want it on the left of the bottom panel.  - he's gotten them all herded onto the RHS :)
User6: I tried to add a launch panel on the left side, but failed
User6: In general I am finding more and more issues with Lubuntu-- R Commander does not work from the menu, the touchpad app on my netbook does not work properly, and other glitches
User6: I loved it, initially, but I might have to return to the disgusting Unity
User4: venik212; you don't have to resort to that just when things don't work properly ootb
User4: A launch panel on the left?
User4: Something like an app bar to start apps?
User6: lubuntu-software-center is another example-- it "works" from the terminal, but not from the menu.  And even then, after it installs something, the apps basket is not emptied.  Alpha all the way, I guess
User4: venik212; it's not mainstream for a reason
User6: I can tell.. ;-)
User6: so How do I get the favorite appls to be on the left side of the bottom panel?
 * MrChrisDruif doesn't remember if he had lubuntu installed on this laptop
User6: and why the Alsa mixer works on one computer with Lubuntu 64 and not on another?
User6: (different sound cards)
User4: Maybe it's due to the different sound cars
User4: !sound
User8: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.
User4: You might be able to find the solution on any of those pages
User4: For the sound that is
User6: ubot-- that works in Ubuntu, but not in Lubuntu
User6: the sound preferences are not accessible from the sound indicator
User4: Aren't the commands terminal based?
User6: installing the gnome-alsa-mixer gave me access to the control I needed
User4: Good to hear
User4: Anyhow, phillw will be here in about 15 minutes when his meeting ends. He'll be able to help you further
User9: User12 hi! :)
User5: hi venik212`soz for the delay, meetings are always at just the wrong time :P
User6: thanks for helping
User6: so How do I get the favorite appls to be on the left side of the bottom panel?
User5: okies, what I propose is that we use my taskbar as a template and I'll go through the various settings with you. Once we have got a 'resonable' one up, we can look at modifiying it.
User6: k
User5: right-click the task bar & select add/remove Panel Items
User6: and?
User5: Select Panel Applets
User6: ok
User5: 1st one should be Menu
User6: it is
User5: next should be Application Launch Bar
User5: which is where we will adding you favourite apps later., followed by a spacer.
User6: thanks-- I can take it from here.  It works
User6: can you also help with Skype?  I installed it but it does not work
User5: okies, it is not hard, just takes a bit of getting used to.
User5: User6 if you have now got control of your sound inputs and outputs via gnome-alsa-mixer you should be able to set up your input & output devices.
User5: I cannot find my head-set, so am not much help on skype atm. I have used it okay with lubuntu in the past, though.
User6: I did-- once I installed the gnome alsa mixer, the sound works fine, but not in skype
User5: I found the tricky part was setting up the mic as the input device alongside the dvd device sorted mine out from memory.
User6: when I try the test call, I do not hear anything
User5: does music play okay?
User6: yes
User6: and the mics work
User6: do u know how to get the ICONS ONLY in the windows task bar?
User6: I know I have amny questions... ;-)
User5: User6 sorry, no.
User6: got to run-- be back later.  Thanks for the help
User1: shoot
User1: i know that one
User5: User1 áºould you pop it onto FAQ/Guides please :)
User1: well fyi right click panel > click Panel Preferences > click Panel Applets tab > click Task Bar (Window List) > click Edit button > check Icons only
User9: doei! :)
User5: cheers wxl

User10: User4 i can use halt tho
User4: halt?
User10: can i bind it ??
User11: wait a second..
User10: sudo halt  it turns off the system
User11: but you'll have to type your password :\
User4: Yeah, but I think you'd need to enter your password?
User10: yeh true
User10: it wont be good tho
User11: maybe you can try this?
User11: #HALT LUBUNTU
User11: dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
User11: not my idea

User10: User11 i have kupfer too
User10: how can i set it to do such thing ?
User11: oh
User4: Maybe he can replace that the execute in the keybind I just send?
User11: if we are talking about password way
User11: then it would be
User4: <command>dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop</command>
User4: ??
User11: ctrl+space, press . , type 'sudo shutdown -h now' , press tab, run in terminal, press ctrl+space, tab, add trigger

User4: That is a side-effect of shutting down your system...strange phenomenon, I know
User10: User11 please i got kicked off
User10: please how can i st that command ?
User11: kosaidpo, http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer/help/plugin-triggers.html
User10: User11 thanks
User11: using advanced stuff in kupfer is quite useful
User11: but anyway I already solved it for ya:
User11: ctrl+space, press . , type 'sudo shutdown -h now' , press tab, run in terminal, press ctrl+space, tab, add trigger
User11: if you fail with kupfer you can try this
