[11:58] <silverarrow> which dvd codecs are for lubuntu?
[11:58] <silverarrow> to play DVDs
[11:58] <bioterror> !dvd
[11:58] <ubot5> Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[12:00] <silverarrow> thanks
[12:04] <silverarrow> works !! ;-)
[17:29] <kvarley> Good evening, fellow lubuntu-ers :)
[17:30] <kvarley> How do I move the minimize/maximize/close buttons to the left on lubuntu?
[17:42] <frankbooth> evening kvarley
[17:43] <frankbooth> it's pretty easy, just launch Openbox Configuration Manager and see the Appearance-tab :)
[17:46] <Greppe> After hiding "Decorations" or what it's called in english (hide the top bar of a window), how do you get it back?
[17:47] <frankbooth> Greppe move the cursors to the top/bottom until you get the option to resize the window, and right click
[17:48] <frankbooth> cursor*
[17:48] <Greppe> Thanks!

[19:00] <kvarley> frankbooth: Sorry I missed it, I glossed over the text field with the layout in. Thanks - got it sorted now :)

[23:33] <MoShah> Hi All, I'm currently using ARANDR to extend my desktop, does anyone know how I can default to this setting everytime my machine boots up?
[23:33] <MoShah> As it does not save it?
[23:33] <MoShah> Please
[23:33] <joao> exit
[23:36] <phillw> MoShah: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxrandr/+bug/621689 has it as bug fixed?
[23:36] <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 621689 in lxrandr (Ubuntu) "lubuntu - lxrandr does not save and restore changes" [Wishlist,Fix released]
[23:37] <MoShah> Would I have to just set it everytime?
[23:38] <phillw> no, that is why the bug is marked fixed - have you the correct version of lxandr, or are you something diferent?
[23:39] <MoShah> I'm using ARANDR
[23:39] <MoShah> but can use lxrandr
[23:39] <phillw> MoShah: I am not at all familar with that, what operating system are you using? (please include version nember)
[23:40] <phillw> *version number*
[23:40] <MoShah> Lubuntu 11.04
[23:40] <MoShah> and installed arandr from the package managee
[23:41] <phillw> MoShah: ahh.... that may explain things, totally remove the old amandr and then grab the correct version of lxandr
[23:42] <MoShah> will do right now, Thanks for that
[23:42] <phillw> MoShah: This bug was fixed in the package lxrandr - 0.1.1-2ubuntu1
[23:42] <phillw> any release after that should be okay.
[23:43] <MoShah> I'm using 0.1.1-2ubuntu4
[23:43] <MoShah> but cannot save the setting and I'm unable to use it as an extended desktop.
[23:44] <phillw> but, you are using arandra and not lxandr?
[23:44] <MoShah> that is the version number of lxrandr
[23:44] <MoShah> I have both installed
[23:44] <MoShah> because lxrandr didn't work
[23:44] <phillw> well, totally remove the arandra & log off / log in
[23:45] <phillw> you cannot run the two together, they will fight!
[23:45] <MoShah> lxrandr didn't even give the option to use extended desktop though
[23:46] <MoShah> ok i will uninstall now
[23:46] <MoShah> Thanks for your help everyone
