[00:46] <Noskcaj> Phillw: in lubuntu why do all files you create on the desktop get put in the top left corner no matter where you clicked "new file"
[00:46] <Noskcaj> can someone confirm if this is a bug
[01:30] <aaas> how can i add an icon (lxterminal) to the taskbar
[01:50] <jude0> aaas right click on panel and then click [panel settings] > [Panel Applets] > [Application Launch Bar] > [Edit]
[01:50] <aaas> thanks
[01:51] <jude0> i recommend lxmed if you want more control over icons
[01:51] <jude0> http://lxmed.sourceforge.net/
[01:53] <jude0> aaas hopefully lxmed it gets added to lxde soon

[08:08] <Guest64223> hi
[08:09] <Guest64223> can someone help me out. I downloaded and installed lubuntu and it is great however i want to remove the default games but when i try to take off even ace-of-penguins it wants to uninstall lubuntu-desktop
[08:10] <Noskcaj> Guest64223, why do you need to remove it so badly?
[09:08] <HarryLweber> morning ... need an expert in configuring a localhost
[09:38] <Noskcaj> good luck HarryLweber, i'm not sure you will find one
[09:39] <HarryLweber> mornin' Noskcaj ... i installed Lampp yesterday and got very frustrated... the installation worked pretty well ... but i am not able to start it because lampp is only available for 32bit while i am on 64
[09:40] <Noskcaj> HarryLweber, that cannot be fun. and good evening to you
[09:41] <HarryLweber> Noskcaj: you can say that. i am working with php a lot and need this localhost :(
[09:42] <tsimpson> what do you mean by lampp?
[09:44] <Noskcaj> tsimpson, i assume linux apache mysql php5 SOMETHING?TYPO
[09:45] <Noskcaj> good night all
[09:45] <tsimpson> ...assume if you want I'll just ask
[09:45] <HarryLweber> tsimpson: i mean that package by apache friends
[09:47] <HarryLweber> tsimpson: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html ... there you go
[09:49] <tsimpson> HarryLweber: seems easier to me to just install the packages from the repositories instead
[09:50] <HarryLweber> tsimpson: also tried this ... but the problem there was that i was not able to safe ANY PHP files in the htdocs folder
[09:50] <tsimpson> you need to use sudo
[09:51] <tsimpson> or add yourself to the www-data group and chmod g+wrx /var/www/default
[09:51] <tsimpson> maybe you also need chgrp www-data /var/www/default too, I don't remember
[09:52] <tsimpson> but it's much easier to manage and it *will work*
[09:53] <tsimpson> I used https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/web-servers.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/databases.html as guides
[10:03] <HarryLweber> tsimpson: if I understand it right i could set up a vhost in my /home directory, right? that would be more easier to safe files
[10:04] <tsimpson> sure, or you can load the userdir apache module and use localhost/~$USER
[10:06] <Guest88910> ?
[10:06] <HarryLweber> tsimpson: that one i dont understand ... :(
[10:06] <Guest88910> exit
[10:08] <synned> ?
[10:11] <tsimpson> HarryLweber: apache has a module called userdir, it allows http://localhost/~user to serve files from ~/public_html
[10:33] <HarryLweber> ah ok, but i guess i'll have to return to windows for this work :(
[10:33] <HarryLweber> that goes way beyond my knowledge
[10:41] <tsimpson> just use the guides I posted
[10:54] <HarryLweber> tsimpson: i will... but if I have questions ... can i ping you tonight around 20.00 hrs UTC?
[10:54] <tsimpson> if I'm here (not /away) sure
[10:54] <tsimpson> there's always #ubuntu too, plenty of people in there have a LAMP setup
[11:42] <strtempo> hi
[11:42] <strtempo> i use puppy, but i want install lubu in usb and use it?
[11:42] <strtempo> how can i use
[12:10] <m1r> hello, i am trying to autologin Lubuntu-minimal 12.10 x64, but i cant find right file where to enable autologin. anyone have idea where these gem is hidden ? :)
[15:40] <holstein> m1r: i enabled it in 11.10... lemme see if i can find it
[15:42] <holstein> m1r: i think it was like this http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1806
[15:42] <holstein> might be a lubuntu specific.conf or .rc
[15:43] <holstein> other relevant posts http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2022529 http://ubuntu.distrosfaqs.org/lubuntu-users/manually-setting-autologin/
[19:04] <m1r1> holstein: thanks for info, i will check on it now
[20:18] <WAlbenzi> Weird problem: On the first boot of a customized livecd, the desktop is not refreshed when an icon is removed from ~/Desktop/. This is not present on the uncustomised LiveCD. It appears an alteration in /var/lib (somewhere) is responsible for allowing the desktop refresh.
[20:18] <WAlbenzi> Any idea what I am missing?
[20:22] <Noskcaj> WAlbenzi, interesting, i have no idea though
[20:33] <m1r1> holstein: many thanks, problem solved :)
