[01:00] <cloud__> hello everybody
[01:03] <cloud__> can i ask some help?
=== C0nfus3d is now known as IAmNotThatGuy
[06:46] <Ascavasaion> When I try to download the deb package for Flash through firefox it asks me if I want to open it with aptURL. I say yes and then it tells me that it cannot find channel precise-partner. Any ideas?
[10:30] <cairne> am I doing something wrong, everytime I update lubuntu, it seems to destroy grub and I have to do the boot-repair via live cd
[11:36] <magnetron> hi, i right clicked my desktop to open then context menu and check the "desktop preferences". but then i changed some option that switched to openbox context menus on the desktop instead. how do i change it back? can i launch the desktop prefs from CLI?
[11:52] <magnetron> hmm. apparently running "pcmanfm --desktop-pref" opens it. thanks anyway
[12:34] <ladkiwi> hello
[12:36] <ladkiwi> I have just installed lubuntu. Shotwell is not installed by default. If I want to install it I need 78Mo because lot of gnome package are installed. Does it exist a lubuntu version of shotwell or a similar program ?
[12:36] <ladkiwi> more generally is it a good idea to use gnome applications in lubuntu ?
[12:39] <pibarnas> ladkiwi: gpicview?
[12:39] <ladkiwi> Can I organize photos and album as in shotwell ? gpicview is just to see a picture, is it ?
[12:40] <pibarnas> I think so...
[12:55] <jarnos> Can GNOME Color Manager be used in Lubuntu?
[12:58] <cairne> anyone having issues when they update the kernel? seems like everytime i patch i need to use the live cd and boot repair
[13:10] <ladkiwi> I did a fresh install on monday and all work fine
[14:33] <zleap> where does lubuntu put deleted items, i know its a hidden folder in my home directory but not sure of the name
[14:38] <zleap> ok found it, can we have a trashcan icon on the desktop ?
[14:41] <berfometh> you found it? whats the path?
[14:48] <tsimpson> berfometh: the default location is ~/.local/share/Trash/
[14:53] <ladkiwi> Hello
[14:53] <ladkiwi> I would like to know if is it possible to use ubuntu one with lubuntu ?
[14:53] <ladkiwi> I installed ubuntuone-client package but I do not know how to activate ubuntuone ?
[14:55] <berfometh> thx tsimpson
[14:58] <tsimpson> ladkiwi: you probably need ubuntuone-control-panel-qt too, then you can run ubuntuone-control-panel-qt and set it up
[14:59] <ladkiwi> I already have ubuntu-one-control-panel but without the qt. I remove this one ?
[15:00] <tsimpson> no, ubuntuone-control-panel-qt depends on ubuntuone-control-panel
[15:00] <ladkiwi> ok
[15:01] <tsimpson> ubuntuone-control-panel just provides a DBus backend which the GUI talks to
[15:01] <ladkiwi> now ubuntuone is in settings menu :)
[15:01] <tsimpson> it should happily tick along in the background once configured, automatically syncing etc
[15:02] <ladkiwi> oki I will try it, thanks :)
[15:02] <ladkiwi> If you have 5 min I have another question
[15:03] <tsimpson> well if I know the answer, I'll answer it :)
[15:04] <ladkiwi> With LXDE do I have to avoid all gnome apps ? For example, with unity I used shotwell, but shotwell needs 78Mo to be installed.
[15:04] <ladkiwi> What are the best rules to follow to keep a quick OS ?
[15:05] <tsimpson> you don't need to avoid anything, just install the apps you want to use and use them
[15:05] <tsimpson> yes, you may have to install a bunch of gnome libraries the first time you install a gnome app, but it's not a big deal
[15:05] <ladkiwi> ok thus I will do that !
[15:06] <ladkiwi> but maybe you know an application like shotwell but more in the spirit of Lubuntu ?
[15:08] <tsimpson> I don't, I actually use gwenview (a KDE app) for managing photos
[15:08] <tsimpson> I use it because, it works and I like it :)
[15:10] <ladkiwi> yes it is true it is a nice applications
[15:13] <ladkiwi> I have a last question (promis)
[15:13] <ladkiwi> do you use deja-dup or duplicity ?
[15:13] <ladkiwi> in order to do backup ?
[15:14] <tsimpson> not really, I use a mixture of cron, rsync, and a custom python script, to backup
[15:15] <tsimpson> most of my documents etc are "on the cloud" somewhere, or backed-up to another device or physical medium
[15:22] <ladkiwi> do you have used lubuntu for a long time ?
[15:25] <tsimpson> I've only used it for about a year, I have lubuntu and kubuntu installed together and switch between the two based on mood/what I'm doing
[15:27] <ladkiwi> with a kind of double boot or you just have both desktop installed ?
[15:30] <tsimpson> I have both kubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop installed, I just choose which to login to from the login manager
[15:43] <theFantasticTrol> same here
[16:31] <searching> Lubuntu 12.04 just freeze why?
[17:31] <husberd> help me please,Desktop shows all contents of 'home' folder if i del files from desktop also they disappear from home folder
[18:11] <zleap> hmm
[18:12] <zleap> by home folder do you mean the /home/yourusername

[20:09] <Papa-Smurf> Hi
[20:10] <Papa-Smurf> Is it Lubuntu 12.10 stable enough for a workstation computer?
[20:14] <Unit193> As with every release after an LTS (or everything generally), it has a few bugs, but no show stoppers.
[20:15] <Papa-Smurf> Unit193, thanks man
[20:15] <koud> hello, I am unable to find some final confirmation about non-pae cpu support
[20:15] <Unit193> koud: Not in 12.10, PAE only.
[20:15] <Unit193> Papa-Smurf: Main issues: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu#Known_Issues
[20:15] <koud> Unit193: where can I find this decision?
[20:16] <koud> is it documented anywhere?
[20:16] <Unit193> koud: It is a global Ubuntu one, not something Lubuntu does. I don't remember right now, but shouldn't be hard to find.
[20:17] <koud> so lubuntu does not have their own kernel guy?
[20:17] <Unit193> Hah, not at all.
[20:17] <koud> and not xubuntu either?
[20:18] <Unit193> Nope, nor Kubuntu. It's the same core, just different default application set and settings.
[20:18] <Papa-Smurf> just different desktop environment
[20:19] <koud> seems like removing support for older hardware will remove a lot of the lubuntu and xubuntu users
[20:20] <Unit193> Xubuntu isn't shooting for lightweight, and not much Lubuntu can do about the PAE issue, but I have a 500MHz, 512M ram computer that supports PAE.
[20:21] <koud> what cpu is that?
[20:22] <Unit193> Some celeron.
=== nothingspecial is now known as angela-android
[20:26] <koud> I have a computer with a pentium m processor :/
[20:27] <Kamilion> PAE's been around since the Pentium Pro days; so in general most people already using i686 builds aren't missing anything if they're on intel or AMD. Cyrix and offbrand i686 clones? *shrug*
=== angela-android is now known as nothingspecial
[20:35] <koud> Kamilion: it is disabled in most pentium M models :/
[20:35] <koud> so some popular linux computers will loose compatability
[20:35] <Unit193> I have a P-M that has it. Anyway, you'll either have to find a work around, or use a different distro.
[20:35] <koud> thinkpads
[22:41] <Abderraouf> hi all :)
[22:42] <Unit193> Howdy.
[22:43] <Abderraouf> hi :D

[22:45] <Unit193> Use the installer?
[22:46] <Abderraouf> am new to lubuntu
[22:46] <Kamilion> download the iso, burn it, boot your offline machine and install.
[22:47] <Unit193> Updates would be harder, but still doable.
[22:47] <Abderraouf> naw am downloading ;)
[22:48] <Abderraouf> but what about mp3?
[22:49] <Abderraouf> and why lubuntu looking so cool!?

[22:56] <Abderraouf> any anser :"(
[22:57] <Kamilion> yes should be able to
[22:57] <Kamilion> afaik a mp3 decoder is available. If not; grab the vlc .deb from the archive and install it offline with dpkg - i

[22:59] <Abderraouf> packaged*
[22:59] <Abderraouf> Xd my bad english

[23:01] <Abderraouf> for*
[23:02] <Abderraouf> are from the dev team?
[23:03] <Unit193> Kamilion: No, it has plenty of depends,
[23:03] <Unit193> The option for MP3 support in the installer has to download the codec, IIRC.

[23:06] <Abderraouf> but lubuntu make can't wait for download it
