[00:08] <burrito_> been trying to do a build with uck.  But, I cannot get the background to change in schemas.  Anybody know where to make the changes to change the default desktop background/wallpaper?
[00:10] <ianorlin> uck?
[00:10] <burrito_> ubuntu customization kit
[00:11] <burrito_> for making custom builds or ubuntu derivatives..
[00:18] <wxl> seems unrelated to lubuntu itself burrito_
[00:18] <wxl> tl;dr no i doubt anyone knows ;)
[00:18] <burrito_> i just figured I'd ask in here since my build is based on lubuntu
[00:22] <Unit193> /etc/xdg/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
[00:23] <burrito_> Yeah, that's one of the places I've been using
[00:23] <wxl> oh we mean the default in lubuntu hjahahahah
[00:23] <burrito_> oh wait.. no it's not..
[00:23] <wxl> it's the end of the day. leave me alone.
[00:23] <burrito_> lol, sorry, I'm gonna give it a shot.
[00:24] <burrito_> thanks Unit193
[00:24] <Unit193> Sure.
[00:24] <Unit193> Always happy to help a burrito_.
[01:21] <burrito_> Unit193 that worked great..  I'm still not sure if it requires me to recompile the schemas, though.  So, I recompiled them anyways..  Thanks buddy!
[01:22] <Unit193> Sure thing.
[02:07] <eipi10> does anyone use minitube?
[02:10] <eipi10> yeah, I didnt think so
[02:11] <Unit193> !info minitube
[02:11] <eipi10> hi Unit193
[02:12] <eipi10> maybe i have to get the ppa for it to install correctly, because it would be kinda cool, especially on an old computer.
[02:23] <ianorlin> eipi10: I generally copy paste the links into vlc
[02:23] <eipi10> hey ianorlin
[02:24] <ianorlin> but not sure that runs well on older hardware
[02:27] <eipi10> I didn't know vlc could do that
[02:35] <eipi10> wow, thats really cool
[04:26] <eipi10> I dunno man, minitube's pretty easy
[04:42] <deitarion> I just download youtube-dl (even the PPA doesn't keep up very well) and run `youtube-dl <URL>`
[04:42] <deitarion> If it ever fails to grab something, just download an update with `youtube-dl -U`
[04:42] <deitarion> Also handles many many other sites too.
[04:50] <eipi10> it's a video downloader?
[04:51] <eipi10> downloadhelper works almost everywhere
[04:55] <eipi10> but I didn't mean to say that dicky
[15:26] <eipi10> anyone know how to open pcmanfm as root?
[15:26] <holstein> eipi10: you likely dont need to, but, have a larger question
[15:26] <holstein> like, how to move files into places when you dont have permission.. etc
[15:26] <eipi10> hey man....and yeah
[15:27] <holstein> though, i would say, you can *really* break things that way. and may want to ask the larger question, or, do more research
[15:27] <holstein> ideally, one can use "gksudo" to open a file manager as root.. but, you shouldnt need to do that
[15:27] <holstein> one can use "sudo mv" to move files around as root.. or, for example, if one wanted to put a custom xorg.conf in place, one could use..
[15:27] <holstein> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:28] <holstein> that would give one, the nano text editor, with permisson to write to that system location
[15:31] <eipi10> what's the gksudo command?
[15:31] <holstein> !info gksudo
[15:31] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[15:32] <holstein> its a way of facilitating specifically what you asked.. opening a GUI application, such ask, pcmanfm as root.. which, you likely dont need to do
[15:34] <whouser> hi.  my dell lost its wifi.  an intell 1000 i think.  the machine cannot see it.  I am a bit of a noob, but have some ubuntu experience.  the wifi may have faild, but i would like to be sure
[15:35] <whouser> please advise
[15:35] <holstein> well, if it is the dell that lost the wifi, you cant address that in software..
[15:35] <whouser> agreed
[15:35] <whouser> but how can i be sure
[15:35] <holstein> whouser: what would i do? test the hardware with a supported os.. either, windows, if thats available, and easy.. or, the live iso you installed that you know supported it
[15:36] <whouser> so reinstall windows?
[15:36] <holstein> i would look in the bios, to see that its not disabled, i would try any/all hardware and keyboard switches
[15:36] <holstein> i would try booting an older kernel, if there is one in the list..
[15:36] <whouser> i have set the wii//bluetooth and wlan to always on and soft key disabled in bios
[15:37] <holstein> whouser: no.. im just saying, *if* you can test the officially supported windows driver/operating system, and it doesnt work, then, you can assume its a hardware issue
[15:37] <whouser> is there such a think as windows live cd?
[15:37] <whouser> thing?
[15:37] <whouser> no boot list for kernals
[15:38] <whouser> also it WAS working
[15:38] <holstein> whouser: you can ask.. but, i dont know of one
[15:39] <holstein> whouser: but, like i said, you can simply use the "known good" live iso, that you know supported the hardware before.. if it doesnt support it now, and it used to, and you have not changed any settings, then, what is the difference?
[15:39] <holstein> and ligically, and plausibly, it can be that something is broken..
[15:40] <whouser> i find your logic unassailable
[15:40] <holstein> whouser: cool.. let me know how i can assist you with it
[15:40] <whouser> if that works then i'll be back
[15:40] <holstein> whouser: the live iso you *know* supported it.. if its not now.. then, you look at what the difference is. since, the live iso is the *same*
[15:40] <holstein> it used to work, and now doesnt.. or, it used to work, and now still works.. those are the 2 options, and can really save time
[15:44] <eipi10> I was here holstein http://lxlinux.com/#9 and, for me, doing this gui would be a lot easier.
[15:44] <holstein> eipi10: sure.. "easier" always comes at a cost.. its a compromise..
[15:45] <holstein> what else can you do? boot a live cd, and move/create files where ever you like..
[15:45] <eipi10> I don't need to do that specifically anymore, but would like the ability to right click an open area in the manager and open as root.
[15:45] <holstein> eipi10: sure. theres a *good* reason why thats not available
[15:50] <whouser> hi
[15:50] <whouser> holstein:
[15:50] <whouser> did you just help me
[15:50] <whouser> ?
[15:53] <whouser> can someone with histroy tell me who just helped me?
[15:54] <whouser> please and thanks
[15:54] <whouser> please ping
[15:54] <eipi10> thanks holstein
[16:07] <eipi10> yeah, thats great.  ty.
[17:10] <eipi10> do you know matt damon?
