[01:04] <tomi_> how do i stop displaying ~/Desktop on desktop?
[01:06] <jmarsden> tomi_: In Lubuntu? If what you are seeing is a shortcut, delete it.
[01:07] <tomi_> what i am seeing is the entire content of ~/Desktop
[01:07] <tomi_> yes lubuntu
[01:07] <mama21mama> "hola"
[01:07] <mama21mama> "Tengo Problemas párrafo USAR EL Navegador Por Defecto"
[01:08] <mama21mama> "I have trouble using the default browser"
[01:11] <tomi_> mama21mama, i use firefox and have set that in preferred applications ... works ok for me
[01:11] <mama21mama> "use firefox"
[01:11] <mama21mama> "still not working."
[01:11] <jmarsden> tomi_: Well, that is probably as designed... there was nothing in ~/Desktop in your default install. So you can just move all those files to some other place, if you do not what them on your desktop.
[01:12] <jmarsden> mama21mama: You will need to be more specific. "Not working"? What exactly happens when you open the browser?
[01:13] <tomi_> jmarsden, oh, i did not do a default install i used the instructions on psychocat to remove ubuntu andd install lubuntu-desktop
[01:13] <jmarsden> That should not matter. Those instructions do not add things into ~/Desktop either. You must have put those files there yourself.
[01:13] <tomi_> so must be a hangover from ubuntu setting eh?
[01:13] <mama21mama> "sylpheed not open the link"
[01:14] <mama21mama> "I\u0026#39;m translating the English language is difficult"
[01:14] <tomi_> oh they are things that were in my ~/Desktop from when i was using ubuntu
[01:14] <jmarsden> mama21mama: so the browser works OK? But clicking on mailto: lines does not?
[01:15] <jmarsden> tomi_: OK, so do something like mkdir ~/myolddesktopstuff ; mv ~/Desktop/* ~/myolddesktopstuff
[01:15] <tomi_> yep ty jmarsden
[01:15] <jmarsden> tomi_: You're welcome.
[01:16] <tomi_> j,instant fix
[01:16] <tomi_> jm
[01:16] <tomi_> dang
[01:16] <mama21mama> "why not leave this in Lubuntu gnome brings problems"
[01:16] <tomi_> jmarsden, instant fix
[01:17] <mama21mama> "had two firefox, firefox via ppa"
[01:17] <mama21mama> tenia dos firefox, firefox via ppa
[01:17] <jmarsden> mama21mama: Why not answer my question? Is your problem that mailto: links do not work for you?
[01:17] <mama21mama> "and firefox in / opt / fierfox / firefox"
[01:17] <mama21mama> y firefox en /opt/fierfox/firefox
[01:17] <jmarsden> That is a known issue in some older versions of Lubuntu, I think.
[01:19] <mama21mama> hoy borre el /opt/firefox
[01:19] <mama21mama> "now delete the / opt / firefox"
[01:19] <jmarsden> mama21mama: If you refuse to answer my questions and just do things, I cannot help you.
[01:19] <mama21mama> "but firefox works fine via ppa"
[01:20] <mama21mama> pero el firefox funciona bien via ppa
[01:20] <tomi_> jmarsden, i think he is a spanish speaker using a translating engine
[01:20] <jmarsden> Yes, but he is also not reading what anyone else says to him...
[01:21] <tomi_> fair nuff
[01:21] <mama21mama> no work link mail
[01:21] <mama21mama> :D
[01:21] <mama21mama> "translating it seems"
[01:21] <jmarsden> OK. Wait while I try to find the bug report about this. It is a known problem.
[01:23] <mama21mama> libfm-pref-apps no work
[01:23] <mama21mama> malo
[01:23] <mama21mama> feo
[01:23] <mama21mama> gnome malo

[01:29] <mama21mama> "look at the picture friend."
[01:30] <jmarsden> Ah... you want to click on links in Sylpheed and have a browser open. Not the other way around.
[01:30] <jmarsden> I need to go eat, may be back later.
[01:31] <mama21mama> "ok I\u0026#39;ll stay"
[01:31] <mama21mama> "go eat friend"

[01:39] <mama21mama> "I think the problem was cleared to see a firefox"
[01:39] <mama21mama> /bin/sh: tal: not found
[01:39] <mama21mama> creo que el problema fue a ver borrado un firefox; tal vez ese era el que abria los links.

=== mama21mama is now known as parnassus
[02:21] <jmarsden> parnassus: What is in the file ~/.config/libfm/pref-apps.conf on your machine?
[02:24] <jmarsden> parnassus: Also, what do you have set in Sylpheed under Configuration -> Common Preferences -> Details -> External Commands ?
[02:26] <jmarsden> parnassus: Lastly, what does grep uri_open ~/.sylpheed-2.0/sylpheedrc output?
=== parnassus is now known as mama21mama

[02:28] <mama21mama> < jmarsden> parnassus: What is in the file ~/.config/libfm/pref-apps.conf on your machine? | http://pastebin.2.je/l/23
[02:30] <mama21mama> < jmarsden> parnassus: Also, what do you have set in Sylpheed under Configuration -> Common hyperair Preferences -> Details -> External Commands ? /opt/firefox/firefox '%s'
[02:30] <mama21mama> xD
[02:30] <mama21mama> alli esta el problema
[02:30] <mama21mama> "there is the problem"
[02:30] <mama21mama> jmarsden,
[02:30] <mama21mama> :D
[02:31] <jmarsden> OK. The default is to set that to sensible-browser '%s' which should work better for you.
[02:32] <mama21mama> jmarsden, gracias
[02:32] <jmarsden> You are welcome :)
[02:32] <mama21mama> :)
[02:32] <mama21mama> jmarsden, jedi
[02:33] <mama21mama> "que lindo now open the link."
[02:58] <hyperair> why's there a hyperair between common and preferences? O_o
[03:00] <jmarsden> No idea... I wondered that myself when I saw it :)
[03:01] <jmarsden> Maybe he hit h and then tab ?
[03:37] <hyperair> heh
[07:16] <maahes> isn't pcmanfm supposed to be able to set your wallpaper?
[07:31] <jmarsden> maahes: Really? A file manager sets the wallpaper? Seems odd... what makes you think pcmanfm should be able to do that?
[07:32] <maahes> jmarsden: erm, nautilus does, and quick searching about on the internet showed that pcmanfm at least *used* to do so, not too long ago in fact, and was the default method of lxde
[07:32] <maahes> only I can't seem to find the option to make it do so.
[07:33] <jmarsden> OK. In Lubuntu 11.04 here, start -> Preferences -> Customize Look at feel seems more the right place for that sort of thing.
[07:34] <maahes> not exactly using lubuntu, just trying to use lxde and some backends
[07:34] <Phosphenes> Is there some way to give all the desktops different wallpapers?
[07:34] <Phosphenes> Changing one always changes all of them
[07:38] <jmarsden> maahes: I don't know... I can right click on the desktop and change wallpaper there, does that work in stock LXDE?
[07:39] <jmarsden> Phosphenes: I don't know of a way to set wallpaper per virtual desktop. Interesting idea, though.
[07:39] <maahes> jmarsden: I'm not using lxde. I'm just trying to use some of its backends with awesome. some forum posts I had found referred to an option in preferences which is not there. I just wondered if it was something I could get with a compile-option
[07:39] <Phosphenes> I know you could do it in kubuntu
[07:39] <Phosphenes> You had to set some option for allowing separate widgets per desktop
[07:40] <Phosphenes> But since lubuntu doesn't have widgets I guess not
[07:40] <maahes> you can do it in kubuntu and ubuntu with some extra package, dunno about lubuntu
[07:40] <jmarsden> Phosphenes: Lubuntu is a lot smaller and lighter than Kubuntu, so it may not have that capability.
[07:41] <Phosphenes> Oh well, I guess that's what I get for wanting better performance ;)
[07:42] <jmarsden> Phosphenes: well... then the real question is *did* you get better performance :) if you did... it's probably worth the tradeoff!
[07:42] <Phosphenes> It definitely was worth it. I'm only using a netbook and it couldn't run all the flair of kubuntu.
[07:43] <jmarsden> OK. Good :)
[07:43] <Phosphenes> I also tried xubuntu which ran pretty well, but I still prefer the lubuntu desktop
[10:44] <giampiero> Hello everybody, I'm a former Ubuntu and new Lubuntu users, I've got a few questions. Is there anyone who fells like trying to answer me?
[10:46] <giampiero> Nobody?=
[11:11] <Neosano> argh! where's the goddamn download page?
[11:11] <Neosano> all I see is the download button which shoots .iso file in my face
[11:11] <Neosano> I would like to use torrent to download it, and also I would like to know the md5 sum
[11:12] <Neosano> whoa! it's in the topic..
[11:12] <Neosano> what about a link from lubuntu.net?
[13:28] <pylix> i'm trying to install lubuntu on my emachine desktop, but the cd just camps in an endless loop with the ubuntu logo and elipses
[13:29] <pylix> is my disc corrupted?
[13:41] <buff27> sounds like it might be pylix, try it on another pc?
[13:42] <buff27> use unetbootin and load image on a usb stick?
[13:43] <pylix> what's unetbootin?
[13:44] <buff27> a tool to right .iso files to USB
[13:44] <buff27> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[13:45] <pylix> you need a blank usb right
[13:46] <buff27> yes
[13:46] <buff27> or just format it to FAT/FAT32
[13:46] <buff27> i tend to just use usb instead of burning CD's these days
[13:47] <buff27> handy for my netbook too, as it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive
[13:47] <pylix> they're faster
[13:47] <pylix> I tried with ubuntu and never got it to work right
[13:48] <pylix> but yeah i'll look into it
[13:48] <pylix> thx for the help
[13:49] <buff27> yeah I found unetbootin does the trick. No problem, only recently switched over to lubuntu myself, previously xubuntu
[17:34] <AmberJ> Hello
[17:35] <AmberJ> lxde menu doesnot seems to find, recognize and add some programs that I installed using synaptic...
[17:35] <AmberJ> How do I add them manually
[17:35] <AmberJ> ?
[17:35] <AmberJ> Ofcourse, there's Alt+F2 run dialog...but there should be a way to add custom entries to lxde menu
[17:39] <AmberJ> Isn't there a 'better' menu generation utility that works with lxde (e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fluxbox#Menu_Management) ?
[17:39] <phillw> AmberJ: it *should* add them, which one(s) are you having a problem with?
[17:41] <AmberJ> phillw, ktouch
[17:41] <AmberJ> ktouch is a KDE program to learn to touchtype
[17:43] <phillw> Are you on Lubuntu 11.04?
[17:43] <AmberJ> yes
[17:44] <phillw> give me a few minutes and I will pop it onto my system.
[18:14] <AmberJ> phillw, did you suggested anything....this connection keeps disconnecting :(
[18:16] <phillw> AmberJ: I will have a play, i'm really sorry for delays. I'm in a meeting at the moment.
[18:17] <AmberJ> np phillw, I'll catchup with you tomorrow...
[20:39] <maahes> can you start lxsession if you're already running x?

[22:29] <Anand> Ahm Can anyone tell me how to install Lubuntu from windows using wubi?
[22:29] <Anand> I'm a complete noob in Linux
[22:30] <bioterror> boot lubuntu cd and tell to installer to install beside Windows
[22:30] <Anand> Can I mount it?
[22:31] <Anand> I mean I dont have a cd with me right now

[22:31] <Anand> CD
[22:31] <Anand> I mean iso
[22:31] <bioterror> do you have 1GB usb stick?
[22:31] <Anand> No not now
[22:31] <Anand> I cant use wubi?
[22:32] <Anand> There's a wubi.exe in the image
[22:32] <bioterror> sure you can, but I've never used it
[22:32] <Anand> hmm
[22:32] <bioterror> probably not many of us
[22:32] <Anand> But it shows only Ubuntu . Kubuntu etc
[22:32] <Anand> Not Lubuntu
[22:34] <Phosphenes> Lubuntu isn't listed in most things because it only recently became official
[22:35] <bioterror> I've heard more not so good stories about wubi than good stories
[22:35] <Anand> Oh
[22:35] <Anand> I'll get a CD tomorrow then
[22:35] <Anand> Thank you
[22:38] <Anand> bye
