| Tir_Eoghan | hmmm... so I marked chromium for complete removal, and it says that it's necessary to remove lubuntu-desktop as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that leave me with an unworking OS? | 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| bioterror | you can try to install lubuntu-desktop back ;) | 00:17 |
| bioterror | and see if it suggests chromium again | 00:17 |
| Tir_Eoghan | lol | 00:17 |
| bioterror | lubuntu-desktop is a meta package | 00:18 |
| Tir_Eoghan | what does that mean? | 00:18 |
| bioterror | it install all the needed lubuntu packages that are needed for the lubuntu to be run as a desktop capable system | 00:19 |
| bioterror | just like there's xubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop | 00:19 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp#Remove%20lubuntu-desktop | 00:19 |
| Tir_Eoghan | ah, right. Makes sense | 00:19 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: it is just the meta package (a list of applications) and can be safely removed, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/RemoveLubuntuDesktop has further details | 00:21 |
| Tir_Eoghan | ah, whew. thats a relief | 00:21 |
| Tir_Eoghan | I had this horrifying image of me being booted back to command line, I've seen to much of that lately and I really don't know my way around it. | 00:23 |
| bioterror | :D | 00:23 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: chromium is our suggested browser, as it requires less resources than firefox etc. You are free to add and delete programmes, but you will have a non-standard installtion which the small team cannot fully support. | 00:23 |
| bioterror | phillw, how about midori?-) | 00:23 |
| bioterror | hahahaha | 00:23 |
| bioterror | sorry, wrong chan :d | 00:23 |
| phillw | bioterror: it is not the one on the list that we support; hence you cannot expect support. Chromium is not the same as Chrome and supports html5, so flash player is not needed for you-tube etc. | 00:24 |
| bioterror | midori should be less resource hungry and doesnt send what you browse to Big G ;) | 00:24 |
| phillw | bioterror: Chromium does NOT send stuff to 'G', it was a requirement of it being used that they split the logging part out of it. You're thinking of Chrome, same browser, but with log reports. | 00:26 |
| Tir_Eoghan | I think you mentioned that to me before bioterror.. Thats probably where I'll end up. It may be irrational, but I can't abide anything google related, well programed or not. | 00:26 |
| bioterror | I'm not a huge G fan too myself, but I'm using chromium | 00:27 |
| bioterror | it's fast ;) | 00:27 |
| phillw | that's because it isn't sending everything you do back to 'head office' :p | 00:28 |
| bioterror | but they say chrome is best malmware ever made | 00:28 |
| phillw | wb zkriesse | 00:28 |
| Tir_Eoghan | I guess I'll have to give chromium a fair shot when I have the os actually installed | 00:28 |
| Tir_Eoghan | I'll install firefox, and midori, and see which one i like better. | 00:30 |
| phillw | bioterror: I beg to disagree, but this is not the channel to discuss it on :-) Head over to http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=11 to read / air your views | 00:30 |
| szczur | phillw, afaik midori supports html5 too and passes ACID3 test | 00:31 |
| Tir_Eoghan | wait, they actually stripped chromium down for this release? | 00:32 |
| phillw | I find chromium to be an excellent browser, and the team who deal with bugs very quick to fix them. I have to use Ffox for some of my web-development work, but the web-develepors tools in chromium are coming along very well. | 00:32 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: Chromium <> Chrome, never has been. | 00:32 |
| * phillw waves to szczur | 00:33 | |
| szczur | hi phillw :) | 00:33 |
| szczur | i would go for the midori :P | 00:33 |
| szczur | chromium is as heavy as other mainline browsers :P | 00:34 |
| szczur | midori is like arora (only for GTK) :P | 00:34 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: http://blog.chromium.org/2008/10/google-chrome-chromium-and-google.html | 00:34 |
| phillw | fabian, one the guys who goes bug chasing usually has a fix in 20 hours; he's a star. | 00:35 |
| Tir_Eoghan | thanks for all the info phill, I have the feeling I'm stepping in on a previous heated debate, as such thanks for not biting my head off *grin* | 00:35 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: no, people do get all heated up. I prefer to use the cool calm approach and let people read the facts instead of hear-say ;-) | 00:36 |
| Tir_Eoghan | thanks, I should have read up on it early. The term google activates my infinite loop fear response though, and all rational thought leaves me in a puff of paranoia | 00:39 |
| zkriesse_ | lol | 00:52 |
| === Freejack is now known as Guest5323 | ||
| Tir_Eoghan | hmmm... interesting. learn something new every day. | 00:56 |
| phillw | chromium would not have been let near the *buntu family if it were reporting back ;-) | 00:57 |
| Tir_Eoghan | maybe I can learn to like chromium | 00:57 |
| Tir_Eoghan | so technically chromium never was released by google, it just contains some of the code that chrome is built on. | 00:58 |
| phillw | it's a bit different, but is quite a capable browser. I still have to use Ffox for some tasks, but that is only on the development side. | 00:58 |
| Tir_Eoghan | kind of like if you reverse engineered IE, fixed it up a bit and released it (although why anyone would attempt that beast of a task I care not to think) | 01:00 |
| phillw | afaik, google do support (as in pay money to) chromium, but chromium is arms length and has no spy ware in it. | 01:00 |
| phillw | google use the chromium package to improve their browser, chrome. hence the similar names. | 01:01 |
| phillw | !chromium | phillw | 01:01 |
| ubot5 | phillw, please see my private message | 01:01 |
| Tir_Eoghan | I assumed chromium was just a lighter version of chrome released by google, and was scratching my head as to why that would be included in a distro like this. | 01:02 |
| phillw | !chrome | phillw | 01:02 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: can I get the ubot to send you a PM that may help? | 01:02 |
| Tir_Eoghan | sure | 01:03 |
| phillw | !chromium | Tir_Eoghan | 01:03 |
| ubot5 | Tir_Eoghan: You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 01:03 |
| Tir_Eoghan | interesting, that goes way over my head. I can program formulae into excell spreadsheets and thats about it. | 01:08 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: just as i suppport lubuntu, I also help test out the new chromium builds. It is a great project and the guy liasing with the ubuntu family is a really good guy & very quick to get bugs fixed. | 01:10 |
| * phillw also loves https://launchpad.net/~alexey-smirnov/+archive/deadbeef | 01:11 | |
| phillw | which maybe one day we will get adopted. | 01:11 |
| Tir_Eoghan | alright, you sold me, I'll give chromium a fair shot. I guess I ought to cancel my purchase of www.antichromium.com | 01:12 |
| Tir_Eoghan | and www.scratchchromium.com although that is a fantastic website name. | 01:16 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: everything in this environment is "try before you buy", then when you decide on what you want, guess wha? It is free, for life, with updates and support. | 01:17 |
| phillw | that website is some scamming B* trying to get your bank details off you. | 01:18 |
| Tir_Eoghan | gotta say thats a tough concept to understand coming from windows. I'm used to feeling like I'm getting fleeced by software developers. | 01:18 |
| Tir_Eoghan | wait which one? You mean I didn't think up original website names? | 01:19 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: have a read of http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37 | 01:19 |
| Tir_Eoghan | ok, that windows air bit gave me quite a laugh | 01:24 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: you will find we do have a sense of humour, you will also find that we are volunteers who want to help others. | 01:27 |
| phillw | computers can actually be fun, although this is purely a support channel #i do hope I've given you some insight into the mind set of how and what both lubuntu and the whole linux community is all about. | 01:28 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: may I ask you age? | 01:29 |
| Tir_Eoghan | wait, volunteer to help others?! why would someone do that, madness. In all seriousness, thanks for all your help and answering my questions in a patient way. | 01:29 |
| Tir_Eoghan | I'm twenty eight going on twelve | 01:30 |
| phillw | that's why it doesn't cost you a fortune to but it & buy support, we all help each other. For example, I'm one of the documentation people who try to keep https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp all updated and moving the help over to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp which is where is has to be for lubuntu to be adopted. | 01:34 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: keep a log of your learning about lubuntu, put in it what you find easy, what you find hard. We need feed back from people like you to be better able to help the next person. | 01:35 |
| phillw | help me improve the beginners section. | 01:37 |
| Tir_Eoghan | will do, so far the tough thing for me is sorting through all my options. I'm finding myself wanting to buy a few more identical computers so I can try distro's out side by side. | 01:37 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: well, I'm an advocate of lubuntu and the entire ubuntu family. lubuntu is still a small team in terms of people avaialble to answer questions, but you can always ask questions on http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php if none of us are about, when you post the question, you will have the option to post it as lubuntu. | 01:39 |
| Tir_Eoghan | so far I've tryed Feisty Fawn, Vector Linux, Xubuntu (aborted install attempt), and currently running a LiveCD of lubuntu, my first attempted install was I believe Tinylinux, or DSL. Having no knowledge of how to install grub/lilo or where to install grub/lilo without a guided installer those failed. | 01:40 |
| phillw | Lubuntu is really nice, but as I'm biased, please have a read of http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=52 | 01:42 |
| Tir_Eoghan | to be perfectly honest, chromium is whats kept me from installing lubuntu. Although now that I understand the situation there, I think I'll take the plunge. | 01:43 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: I very much doubt you will be disappointed, one of the nice things of being on here and having a lubuntu area on my forum is when people say thanks. That is why we volunteer; 10 people log on, ask questions and leave, 1 comes back on says thankyou. | 01:46 |
| phillw | "You had to do WHAT with the seat" :p | 01:47 |
| phillw | wb zkriesse | 01:48 |
| Tir_Eoghan | so far I'm really happy with it, and still stunned by the fact that the livecd works so well on my (lets be perfectly honest) antiquated system. It will make my future obsessive changing of os's be able to be done with no fear of entirely losing acess to my files and internet. | 01:48 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: lubuntu is specifically designed for "older" computers. It is the reason it exists. | 01:49 |
| Tir_Eoghan | the livecd works better then optimized windows xp | 01:49 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: if you can run xp, lubuntu will fly like the proverbial off a shovel. It will run on machines designed for win 98 | 01:50 |
| Tir_Eoghan | hmmm.. now I can't wait to try it. | 01:51 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: "A Pentium II or Celeron system with 128 MiB of RAM is probably a bottom-line configuration that may yield slow yet usable system with Lubuntu." | 01:51 |
| phillw | try running XP on that :p | 01:52 |
| Tir_Eoghan | do you have tutorials up for fulling securing the os? thats my next greatest concern, I was running avast anti-virus with zonealarm, and every week or so running several adware/spyware removes on my system, also had peerblock on.. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I never had a major virus cripple my system. Aside from the usual windowsxp virus | 01:54 |
| phillw | you do not need them with linux, it is a completely different system. let me go dig out the link for you | 01:55 |
| phillw | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 skip down to windows mind-set on the thread. | 01:56 |
| Tir_Eoghan | thanks, that will help | 01:56 |
| sgh | 1. due to the fact that Windows accounts the greatest marketshare, it is the primary target for viruses also | 01:56 |
| phillw | the 1st part is for servers etc. | 01:57 |
| sgh | 2. even if you get infected by a virus for linux it won't be able to do as much harm as a virus under Windows | 01:58 |
| phillw | sgh: there are no viruses for linux :-) it is complete FUD | 02:00 |
| phillw | there are attacks on our servers, which is a completely different thing. | 02:00 |
| Tir_Eoghan | hmm.. good to know. Next order of business is figuring out how to use iptables and ip blacklists. I'll be acquiring another barebones comp soon to use as bulletproof firewall | 02:01 |
| phillw | sgh: Tir_Eoghan bottom line is that > Major organisations like IBM, Amazon & Google run Linux. | 02:01 |
| Tir_Eoghan | really, hmm.. thats good to know | 02:02 |
| sgh | I've heard that even Microsoft ran Linux on their servers for a long time :D | 02:02 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: the standard install comes completely firewalled | 02:03 |
| Tir_Eoghan | wait, next your going to tell me. It comes with a butler that serves me champagne and lights my cigarettes | 02:03 |
| phillw | sgh: I also get their security bulletins saying thet have a major security breach that they will take a month to fix :P | 02:04 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: no, you have to pay extra for that :p You can, if you are a company, buy dedicated support. | 02:04 |
| Tir_Eoghan | so why do people use windows anyway? you can run windows programs in linux with wine I've heard (and a better computer) | 02:05 |
| phillw | that is done by canonical http://www.canonical.com/ | 02:05 |
| sgh | Wine can't handle every application yet | 02:05 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: and, to be honest, why should be support windows? Linux is a completely different system. | 02:07 |
| phillw | /s/be/we | 02:07 |
| Tir_Eoghan | good point | 02:07 |
| phillw | they charge hundreds of dollars, we do it for free. As per the Simpsons "Doh".... it's not difficult to do the maths, even Bart could do it :p | 02:08 |
| phillw | but, again we digress, this conversation should be on #ubuntu-beginners-team | 02:10 |
| * phillw they allow me and others on there for off topic chat | 02:10 | |
| Tir_Eoghan | hmmm... now I'm reading about wine being one of the only potential ways windows viruses can work on linux.. yeah, think I'm better off sticking with linux programs. | 02:14 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: yeah, it can, but even then linux will protect it. We're dead good that way :-) | 02:17 |
| Tir_Eoghan | hehe | 02:17 |
| Tir_Eoghan | sounds like essentially the key thing to remember, is stay out of root, unless absolutely necessary | 02:18 |
| phillw | all the antivirus boot disks that you windows users get charged for are completely free. | 02:18 |
| Tir_Eoghan | well, I just stole all those, but lets move swiftly along from that point. hehe | 02:18 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: you're so used to paying for stuff, in linux it is all free. | 02:19 |
| phillw | free as in completely free, not pirated / ripped of etc. | 02:19 |
| sgh | there are some commercial distributions by the way | 02:19 |
| Tir_Eoghan | figured I'd spent enough money on windows and I wasn't about to pay for fixing something they should have fixed. | 02:20 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: you most likely installed another virus / root kit / key logger when you 'stole' it. | 02:20 |
| Tir_Eoghan | one of the reasons I switched over, found myself pirating more and more just to stay relatively current. Eventually my entire system was pirated (aside from hardware), due to lost disks lost key's etc. | 02:21 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17 | 02:22 |
| phillw | or even just http://forum.phillw.net/viewforum.php?f=6 | 02:23 |
| phillw | Tir_Eoghan: when you are next bored, just have a trawl round, it is where I keep all my notes and links for when I'm helping out :-) | 02:24 |

| manfredrasta | could you helpo me? | 16:11 |
| manfredrasta | KukuNut, I cant connect to my wifi line | 16:11 |
| KukuNut | was it working before? | 16:11 |
| manfredrasta | It allready works with windows | 16:12 |
| manfredrasta | but not with lubuntu | 16:12 |
| manfredrasta | they are different laptops | 16:12 |
| kosaidpo | manfredrasta: do you have network manager ?? | 16:12 |
| sgh | kosaidpo: do you use 10.04 or 10.10? 10.10 is slower for me than 10.04 was | 16:12 |
| manfredrasta | kosaidpo, yes | 16:12 |
| kosaidpo | 10.10 | 16:12 |
| kosaidpo | yehh | 16:12 |
| manfredrasta | kosaidpo, i can also see my line | 16:13 |
| kosaidpo | ohh im havin meerkat | 16:13 |
| kosaidpo | thats pretty sad tho | 16:13 |
| sgh | meerkat = 10.10 | 16:13 |
| sgh | :D | 16:13 |
| kosaidpo | yeh i kno | 16:13 |
| kosaidpo | :D | 16:13 |
| sgh | well was it slow for you since you've installed it or is it slower today? | 16:13 |
| kosaidpo | yehh | 16:14 |
| kosaidpo | since i upgraded to meerakt | 16:14 |
| manfredrasta | I have to leave | 16:14 |
| manfredrasta | bye bye | 16:15 |
| kosaidpo | have nce day | 16:15 |
| sgh | kosaidpo: one thing I can think of is the addition of the ubuntu update manager, which was introduced to lubuntu with 10.04 | 16:15 |
| sgh | it has starts when you boot it - if you don't need it and update manually you can disable it | 16:16 |
| sgh | *it starts | 16:16 |
| kosaidpo | sgh: wel for the bottin process im usin preload and its good so far but i mean while using programs when its slow | 16:17 |
| kosaidpo | sgh: do you use preload ? | 16:19 |
| sgh | kosaidpo: the update manager is started when you boot but it will not be stopped if you don't do it manually, therefore it takes resources throughout your whole session | 16:19 |
| sgh | kosaidpo: no, I don't use it | 16:20 |
| kosaidpo | ohhh | 16:21 |
| kosaidpo | really | 16:21 |
| kosaidpo | late me check then | 16:21 |
| kosaidpo | sgh: iahd it runnin at the boot | 16:24 |
| kosaidpo | sgh: u sure it stays workin even after the boot process ?? | 16:24 |
| kosaidpo | sgh: btw i advice u to check the preload its great | 16:24 |
| kosaidpo | for a happy bootin | 16:25 |
| sgh | yeah, it is supposed to tell you if new updates are available and checks for them, therefore I'm quite sure it works after the boot process | 16:25 |
| sgh | if you don't want to untick it you mustn't, that's just a assumption regarding the slowness | 16:26 |
| sgh | yeah I will check it out, thanks | 16:26 |
| kosaidpo | sgh: no i already did untick it | 16:27 |
| kosaidpo | since im usually updatin manually laltely | 16:27 |
| kosaidpo | i was lil excited abt the meerkat | 16:27 |
| sgh | me too | 16:27 |
| kosaidpo | cus i was syin that it ll be more lither :D | 16:27 |
| sgh | it's unfortunate that Ubuntu based distros aren't as light as Debian, Arch Linux or others if they use Xfce, LXDE or other resource saving desktop environments :/ | 16:30 |
| kosaidpo | shg; oh really ?? | 16:31 |
| kosaidpo | well im new to this linux word | 16:31 |
| kosaidpo | i used ubuntu then kubuntu then im sticked wiuth lubuntu | 16:31 |
| kosaidpo | is archilinux way lither ? | 16:31 |
| kosaidpo | lighter | 16:31 |
| kosaidpo | ? | 16:31 |
| sgh | that's what many people say and tests confirmed | 16:32 |
| sgh | but I assume that it is really tough for a Ubuntu user to switch to Arch, due to the fact that there's no graphical installer (so partitioning must be done with a terminal) | 16:33 |
| sgh | there's a different package management also - apt commands are useless there | 16:34 |
| kosaidpo | yehh i guess its pacman | 16:35 |
| kosaidpo | or sumthin like this | 16:35 |
| sgh | yeah | 16:35 |
| kosaidpo | thers no gui durin the partiotionnin ? | 16:35 |
| sgh | during the whole install process | 16:35 |
| sgh | the partitioning was just an example | 16:35 |
| kosaidpo | ohh thats a lil scary'cus im not that good in the command line | 16:36 |
| phillw | sgh: partitioning should only need to be done the once (unless you're a tester like me). The mini-iso for ubuntu install is pretty darn small. | 16:36 |
| kosaidpo | phillw: u didnt notice that lubuntu meerkat its lil bit slower ?? | 16:37 |
| phillw | I'm running 9.10 standard ubuntu atm, as none of the others can 'see' my 3G dongle :'( | 16:38 |
| sgh | are there windows drivers for it? | 16:39 |
| sgh | phillw: does it make a difference to install a regular Lubuntu desktop or use a mini-iso and install the lubuntu-desktop package? (except for the smaller size?) | 16:39 |
| sgh | regarding resource usage | 16:40 |
| phillw | sgh: the ubiquity installer (the standard installer) requires more RAM to run than lubuntu needs once it is installed. It's covered more at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall | 16:40 |
| sgh | but in the end the desktop will use the same amount of RAM? | 16:41 |
| phillw | sgh: for a full install, yes; but with 10.10 comes a cut down version | 16:46 |
| sgh | lubuntu-core | 16:46 |
| phillw | sgh: yeah. | 16:46 |
| sgh | I guess I will do a minimal install with 10.10 final beta | 16:47 |
| sgh | and hope that grub sees my windows partition then :D | 16:47 |
| sgh | although I got it working by adding a custom entry | 16:48 |
| phillw | leave it as a custom entry, grub and windows can have fall outs. a custom entry will always be safe as updating grub will not affect it. | 16:50 |
| sgh | okay | 16:50 |
| sgh | does anyone here know how to clarify which files Transmission is allowed to share with other people? I want to seed Lubuntu but I don't want that any of my other files are uploaded | 16:57 |
| szczur | if the torrent is not on the download list it won't be seeded to anyone | 17:01 |
| phillw | sgh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent has details on the various agents | 17:02 |
| phillw | oops, szczur beat me to it, as usual :D | 17:02 |
| szczur | :) | 17:03 |
| sgh | phillw and szczur: thanks | 17:03 |
| szczur | no problem :) | 17:03 |
| Mohan_chml | Timo_, Zach read the topic :D | 17:37 |
| phillw | szczur: have you got the size, in bytes, of the beta2 iso? | 18:22 |
| phillw | aka ls -l ? | 18:22 |
| szczur | ohh, haven't downloaded it yet | 18:40 |
| mmaksimov | Hi all. Is there a specific minimum RAM requirement for installing Lubuntu from a LiveCD session? Both beta1 and 2 hang creatively if installer is started on a 256Mb system with no cache. I believe the wiki should reflect this... | 19:23 |
| bioterror | 256MB should be enough | 19:24 |
| sgh | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall | 19:25 |
| sgh | the requirements are mentioned in the wiki | 19:25 |
| mmaksimov | bioterror, my 256Mb box doesn't agree with you | 19:26 |
| sgh | probably it's related to the fact that you run without cache as you stated | 19:28 |
| mmaksimov | sgh, those 160Mb are I guess for running the installer from the CD menu directly, which does not work in both betas. If you start a liveCD session then installer the session takes some RAM i believe | 19:28 |
| mmaksimov | er.... aren't the Live CD and installer _supposed_ to run on bare metal without anything else configured? | 19:29 |
| sgh | the installer definitely is and therefore users with less than 160 MB can use it (without the gui) | 19:31 |
| sgh | the Live CD requires RAM because of its design - everything is loaded into the RAM and when it's full you'll experience problems | 19:32 |
| sgh | therefore a lot of RAM is required, this can't be changed | 19:32 |
| sgh | probably someone will come up with a new concept anytime, I mean the latest browsers can make use of the CPU and GPU now, probably something like that could be adopted | 19:34 |
| sgh | but to my knowledge something like this wasn't planned yet | 19:35 |
| mmaksimov | huh, I know a bit about where RAM goes..... I just wanted to empasize that the 160 Mb limit stated in the wiki is not totally correct with the current beta | 19:38 |
| phillw | the lubuntu team are looking to make a minimal install iso, but for the present just use the current instructions | 19:38 |
| phillw | mmaksimov: it has installed on 160MB, don't forget that in a lot of machines the 256MB is shared with the graphics driver, so the amount available for the System may well be less. | 19:40 |
| mmaksimov | phillw, 10.10 beta2? | 19:41 |
| phillw | the minimal install, requires the least amount of RAM to install, but you need an ethernet connection. | 19:41 |
| mmaksimov | I know that | 19:41 |
| mmaksimov | I've documented those two ways of taking eth0 under NetworkManager management afterwards | 19:42 |
| phillw | mmaksimov: I've not personally tried the beta2 with a low ram machine; if you're having an issue you or I can ask on the mailing list for other peoples' experiences, but at least one of the testers does test the install on a low RAM machine. | 19:44 |
| mmaksimov | phillw, I think those 8 hours' installations reported in the plymouth thread were run with cache... I'll sum up my findings on the list. | 20:03 |
| phillw | okies, thanks mmaksimov | 20:04 |
| bioterror | niice | 20:27 |
| bioterror | had to do touch /etc/alternatives/lxdm.conf ;) | 20:27 |
| phillw | mmaksimov: thanks for such a detailed e-mail, as soon as the team reply I'll ensure the wiki areas are updated. | 20:45 |
| phillw | I'll bbl, now have to go and do some work :-) | 20:46 |
| capleton | hi all. I was wondering if it was possible to pick and choose the things that start at the beginning of each session? | 20:53 |
| bioterror | menu -> Preferences -> Desktop Session Settings | 20:55 |
| capleton | bioterror: thanks! | 20:56 |
| bioterror | and you can say to openbox too what you want to start | 20:56 |
| capleton | Is there also a way to get rid of the "ubuntu" screen with the lights that go back and forth? I'd rather be able to see what is going on in the background | 20:57 |
| bioterror | hahaha | 20:57 |
| bioterror | alt+f1 | 20:57 |
| bioterror | there's alot discussion about that in the mailing list | 20:58 |
| capleton | is there any way to have it not start x, and rather just bring me to a prompt? would removing SliM do that? | 20:58 |
| bioterror | why would you like to do that?-) | 20:58 |
| capleton | I want to use the computer with screen and just ssh into it from another one. But I like the idea of having LXDE on there in case I want a full DE. | 20:59 |
| capleton | plus the fan is really loud, and I feel like there is nothing less resouce hungry than the command line | 21:00 |

| * szczur may be banned for this :> | 22:05 | |
| manfredrasta | why could you be banned for that man? | 22:06 |
| szczur | because it's not a good behaviour to write what you're actually listening to :) | 22:07 |
| manfredrasta | The poblem is that i cant connect mi wireless nw. I can see it, but cannot conenct it. this is the sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon result: http://pastebin.com/1TjZF7xE | 22:07 |
| manfredrasta | why isnt it a good behaviour? | 22:08 |
| szczur | no one cares about what you're listening at the moment :P | 22:08 |
| szczur | and you shouldn't show it on the (not yet but we're trying to :P) official general help channel | 22:10 |
| manfredrasta | I still dont understand? Should you be banned because of saying something that nobody cares? | 22:10 |
| manfredrasta | ok | 22:10 |
| szczur | what "sudo iwlist scan" returns? | 22:10 |
| manfredrasta | I understand now | 22:10 |
| manfredrasta | http://pastebin.com/0cghqDGx | 22:11 |
| manfredrasta | there's a forum thread | 22:12 |
| manfredrasta | if you want to have a look... its a little bit long, but you'll find everything | 22:12 |
| szczur | can you link me to it? | 22:12 |
| manfredrasta | yes | 22:13 |
| manfredrasta | at the begining i couldn't even see my wireless nw | 22:13 |
| manfredrasta | then a person told me to run: sudo apt-get install pcmciautils | 22:13 |
| manfredrasta | so i can see it now | 22:13 |

| manfredrasta | no | 22:19 |
| szczur | it didn't worked on any of the linuxes, am i right? | 22:20 |
| szczur | please turn of your encryption for a while | 22:20 |
| manfredrasta | i just tried it on Xubuntu 9.04 and worked | 22:20 |
| szczur | ahhh, with 9.04 it worked | 22:21 |
| szczur | mkay | 22:21 |

| manfredrasta | sorry | 22:21 |
| manfredrasta | it was wrong | 22:21 |

| manfredrasta | i just tried it on Xubuntu 9.04 and DIDNT worked | 22:21 |
| * szczur is confused right now | 22:21 | |
| manfredrasta | had the same problem | 22:21 |
| manfredrasta | :) | 22:22 |
| szczur | 9.04 - NOT WORKING; 10.04- NOT WORKING | 22:22 |
| szczur | right? | 22:22 |
| manfredrasta | no | 22:22 |
| manfredrasta | on xubuntu 9.04 not working | 22:22 |
| manfredrasta | on lubuntu 10.04 (at the moment) not working | 22:23 |
| szczur | <szczur> 9.04 - NOT WORKING; 10.04- NOT WORKING... >_> | 22:23 |
| manfredrasta | on ubuntu 10.04 (in another laptop) working | 22:23 |
| szczur | i said that before | 22:23 |
| szczur | another laptop isa nother wifi and so on | 22:23 |
| manfredrasta | ok | 22:23 |
| manfredrasta | so doesnt matter what happens on another laptop | 22:24 |
| szczur | soo, turn off your encryption | 22:24 |
| manfredrasta | ok | 22:24 |
| manfredrasta | one minute | 22:24 |
| szczur | maybe this card/module is not accepting WPA encryption | 22:24 |
| szczur | as for example my old D-Link 520+ did | 22:24 |
| szczur | because od shitty module which got dropped shortly after :) | 22:25 |
| szczur | so i had to use WEP "encryption" | 22:25 |
| szczur | i see it is the old laptop | 22:25 |
| szczur | so probably it is the case | 22:25 |
| szczur | -the +an :) | 22:25 |
| manfredrasta | done | 22:26 |
| manfredrasta | turned off | 22:26 |
| szczur | ok, now try to connect to your wifi :) | 22:26 |
| manfredrasta | without i have the same problem | 22:26 |
| szczur | hmm | 22:26 |
| szczur | sudo iwconfig eth1 essid Fionaweb | 22:27 |
| szczur | sudo dhclient eth1 | 22:27 |
| szczur | tell me the results | 22:27 |
| manfredrasta | sudo iwconfig eth1 essid Fionaweb does nothing | 22:27 |
| szczur | it sets the essid of the card. you can check it by running iwconfig | 22:28 |
| szczur | sudo iwconfig | 22:28 |
| manfredrasta | sudo dhclient eth1 is still writing | 22:28 |
| szczur | hmmm :( | 22:29 |
| manfredrasta | finished | 22:29 |
| manfredrasta | i paste you the result | 22:29 |
| szczur | mkay | 22:29 |
| manfredrasta | http://pastebin.com/qAWia4Xd | 22:29 |
| szczur | can you paste the results of "sudo iwconfig"? | 22:30 |
| manfredrasta | and iwconfig says: http://pastebin.com/8UR2uXg6 | 22:30 |
| szczur | ahh :) | 22:30 |
| szczur | you read my mind | 22:31 |
| manfredrasta | :) | 22:31 |
| szczur | :) | 22:31 |
| szczur | XD | 22:31 |
| manfredrasta | have you read #8? What he says about a bug | 22:32 |
| szczur | hmm, but it should work on 9.04 then, since the bug was introduced in Ubuntu 10.04. I know I may be annoying but can you provide me result of sudo iwlist scan once more? | 22:35 |
| szczur | damn, it is pretty weird | 22:36 |
| manfredrasta | what does weird mean? | 22:36 |
| szczur | i thnk you should ask on #ubuntu too. there is waay more people than here :) | 22:36 |
| szczur | weird means strange, bizarre | 22:37 |
| szczur | odd | 22:37 |
| manfredrasta | http://pastebin.com/M4jVwWPS | 22:37 |
| szczur | damn, i'm out of ideas. encryption is turned off and it still can not connect to this network :( | 22:38 |
| * szczur is running out of ideas | 22:38 | |
| szczur | turn the encryption on, again | 22:38 |
| manfredrasta | how do you write those comments? | 22:38 |
| szczur | before someone would stel your precious bandwith :P | 22:39 |
| szczur | with /me command | 22:39 |
| sgh | szczur: have you ever heard about this bug: network-manager-gnome shows that the connection (wlan with ndiswrapper) is established yet the internet can't be accessed? | 22:39 |
| sgh | I already had this bug in 10.04 and only with Lubuntu, but a reinstallation of the whole distro helped. Now its back in 10.10 :/ | 22:39 |
| szczur | /me does something will return | 22:39 |
| * szczur does something | 22:39 | |
| * manfredrasta is glad | 22:40 | |
| szczur | sgh, naah, haven't heard of this bug | 22:40 |
| manfredrasta | so | 22:41 |
| manfredrasta | when does is 10.10 released? | 22:41 |
| szczur | sgh, nm states that you're connected. csan you check if you can ping your router? | 22:41 |
| manfredrasta | sorry | 22:41 |
| sgh | manfredrasta: 10.10.2010 | 22:42 |
| szczur | manfredrasta, 7 days for Ubuntu main flavour and i think 8-9 days for lubuntu | 22:42 |
| manfredrasta | also for lubuntu? or just ubuntu? | 22:42 |
| szczur | i think.... | 22:42 |
| manfredrasta | ok | 22:42 |
| sgh | szczur: how do I do that? :D haven't done that in Linux yet | 22:42 |
| manfredrasta | wil I be able to connect mi wifi then? | 22:42 |
| manfredrasta | :9 | 22:43 |
| manfredrasta | :) | 22:43 |
| szczur | sgh, first off all right click your nm applet and choose "Connection information" | 22:43 |
| sgh | if the Ubuntu team knows about this bug and works on a fix, you will | 22:43 |
| szczur | to look if IP is ever assigned | 22:43 |
| manfredrasta | how can i encorage them to work for it? | 22:43 |
| szczur | go to #ubuntu, turn on your CapsLock and shout a lot, whine about it | 22:44 |
| szczur | and write a post every hour | 22:44 |
| szczur | :> | 22:44 |
| sgh | :D | 22:44 |
| manfredrasta | really? | 22:44 |
| szczur | of course i was kidding :P | 22:44 |
| manfredrasta | joking? | 22:44 |
| sgh | yeah | 22:45 |
| manfredrasta | so? | 22:45 |
| szczur | but really, you should go to the #ubuntu channel | 22:45 |
| manfredrasta | maybe you know Mr. LUbuntu | 22:45 |
| szczur | and tell them about your problem there | 22:45 |
| manfredrasta | isnt it? | 22:45 |
| manfredrasta | ok | 22:45 |
| manfredrasta | ill go | 22:45 |
| manfredrasta | thanks for all | 22:45 |
| szczur | we have small group and as you probably see we're not WiFi masters :P | 22:46 |
| manfredrasta | :) | 22:46 |
| manfredrasta | How can I join lubuntu team? | 22:46 |
| szczur | sgh, what about that IP Adress | 22:46 |
| manfredrasta | and what can I do for you? | 22:46 |
| manfredrasta | for them? | 22:46 |
| manfredrasta | for lubuntu I mean | 22:46 |
| szczur | manfredrasta, sit here, whine a lot, yell at phillw and Timo_ and you will get lubuntu team badge :> | 22:47 |
| sgh | szczur: 192.168.1.2, yet it needs to be mentioned that the WLAN works at the moment | 22:47 |
| szczur | sent by homing pigeon :) | 22:47 |
| manfredrasta | phillw, hi man | 22:47 |
| szczur | manfredrasta, and really, just be here and try to help people with their problems ;) | 22:47 |
| manfredrasta | but i cannot help anybody | 22:48 |
| manfredrasta | i am noob | 22:48 |
| sgh | you will learn in this channel | 22:48 |
| szczur | you will become a PRO someday :P | 22:48 |
| szczur | just look at ChanServ | 22:48 |
| manfredrasta | But there is nobody in this channel | 22:48 |
| manfredrasta | :) | 22:48 |
| szczur | he's op right now :P | 22:48 |
| manfredrasta | ye | 22:48 |
| szczur | and he sits here since begining | 22:48 |
| manfredrasta | who is op? | 22:49 |
| sgh | szczur: my personal workaround is that I boot into windows, turn the dongle off and on and reboot Lubuntu, therefore the wlan connection is working at the moment | 22:49 |
| szczur | manfredrasta, channel operator | 22:49 |
| manfredrasta | and who is ChanServ ? | 22:49 |
| szczur | and actually ChanServ is a bot sent by grammar nazis to get rid of the typos :P | 22:49 |
