head_victimI'm getting a "Xsession" unable to launch "gnome-session" error on first boot from a 10.10 install01:08
szczurhead_victim, sudo apt-get install gnome-session-bin01:14
szczurdid you install system from the lubuntu cd or by mini.iso01:14
szczur?01:14
head_victimlubuntu cd01:14
szczurweird that it wants gnome session at all01:15
head_victimThe only non standard thing I did was keep my old /home01:15
szczurdo you have XSession file in you r home directory?01:16
szczur.XSession01:16
head_victimAh crap forgot that, hang on rebooting back to prompt01:17
head_victimI should be able to just rm -rf /home/user/.XSession and it should auto generate again?01:17
szczuri think01:17
szczuri would make a backup of it01:18
head_victimI have backups already ;)01:18
szczurok01:18
head_victimNah there wasn't any, just an .Xauthority01:21

szczurcciinico, just a question, maybe i can help then :)01:25
szczurhead_victim, blogger doesn't exist01:25
cciinicohttp://code.google.com/p/tint2/01:25
szczurhmmm, looks nice01:26
cciinicoits a panel basicly, im trying to covert some stuff from crushbang01:26
cciinicoon to lubuntu01:26
cciinicothe only thing i like about this distro is its openbox01:27
cciinicowhich is nice and simply easy to apply the configs01:27
* szczur is downloading the svn :)01:27
szczuryayz01:27
szczurthey're using cmake01:28
szczurnice thing, easy to compile01:28
cciinicoim new to linux but understand must of what im doing just thought some ppl would have already tried to mess with it01:28
* szczur tries to install it :)01:29
szczurcciinico, yest it is working :)01:36
szczurbut, the problem is that it don't have program menu like lxpanel have01:37
szczurit only shows running procesess01:37
szczuryou would need to configure openbox to modify the menu to be able to run programs01:37
szczurif you want i can show you screenshots of running tint2 on my PC right now :)01:38
head_victimszczur, ok found the problem. I was trying to auto login01:38
head_victimAnd it had defaulted to the wrong option.01:38
szczurhead_victim, you could say that you want to autologin :)01:39
szczur/etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf01:39
head_victimAs soon as I removed the autologin from/etc/xdg/Lubuntu/..... it presented a login screen where I changed the option from "Default" to Lubuntu and it worked01:39
head_victimhttp://www.catlingmindswipe.blogspot.com/2010/03/lubuntu-start-up-with-blinds-down.htm01:39
cciinicoszczur: how woud u go about doing so?01:39
head_victimThat's where I got my inspiration. No idea why it happened though01:39
phillwhead_victim: that page does not exist, could you re post it for me, please.01:42

head_victimphillw: yes, worth a bug report?01:48
phillwcciinico: we're much more relaxed in #lubuntu-offtopic as it is not logged :)01:48
phillwhead_victim: yeah, if you would please.01:48
phillwI'm not sure if that area is back up yet, it was shut for maintentance earlier. If you can not file it there, give as much information as you can to phillw@phillw.net and I'll file it.01:50
head_victimphillw: I'll link in here when it's up just to make sure I logged enough detail01:51
phillwit could well be back up now, I was on it a couple of hours ago.01:51
head_victimYeah just working on getting the install up and running with synergy, etc so I can use it instead of this VM01:52
phillwif you'd post the bug report number here, although myself and others should auto receive it.01:53
head_victimWill do01:54
phillwhead_victim: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReportingBugs01:55
phillwThanks for taking the time to raise the issue, it's appreciated.01:56
head_victimHey if it helps me in the long run I'd be crazy not to.01:56
phillwhead_victim: If you're interested in lubuntu, you may want to pop over to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/GettingInvolved  we're a really small team and always appreciate an extra pair of eyes.01:58
head_victimI've already had a quick look02:01
head_victimWilling to do what I can when I can but yeah, I'm not what you'd call a "guru"02:02
phillwhead_victim: you have PM02:04

keith2So, wondering if lubuntu can be used on an old Compaq 500Mhz with 512MB RAM04:05
mikedep333hey, I just installed lubuntu on a test 128MB RAM virtual machine via the mini/minimal iso, and synaptic gets password errors when I attempt to launch it from the start menu04:20
mikedep333I can run: sudo synaptic fine04:20
mikedep333here's how I installed it:04:20
mikedep333https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall04:20
mikedep333I would like to report a bug, but I don't know which package to report on04:21
mikedep333I am testing out a 256MB desktop/graphical install right now, it is still installing04:21
head_victimmikedep333: I'm in the middle of updating the VM I use otherwise I'd boot up and see if I could reproduce04:22
mikedep333head_victim: gotcha04:22
mikedep333head_victim: I'll be around for a while04:22
head_victimI hit enter about 10 seconds before you posted04:22
head_victimOk give it a couple of minutes see if I can get mine to boot with 128 only.04:23
mikedep333is the installer supposed to take forever to load (and take even longer to get past the first step) when you only have 256MB?04:26
mikedep333free -m reports that about half my ram is in cache/buffer anyway (waiting for 2nd menu to load)04:26
head_victimYeah, 256 is not much to work with04:26
head_victimOk trying to boot now04:28
head_victimIt's funny allocating 128mb to a vm when you have 10gb in the host04:28
head_victimIt's surprisingly snappy.....04:28
head_victimWorked fine for me mate04:29
head_victimWhat sort of error did you get?04:29
head_victimUpload a snapshot?04:29
phillwmikedep333: with that little RAM, you really should consider the minimal install method04:30
mikedep333head_victim: you're referring to loading synaptic under lubuntu 10.10 with 128MB of RAM when you installed from the graphical installer?04:31
head_victimmikedep333: yep04:31
head_victimIt's using 70mb for me now04:31
mikedep333ok04:31
mikedep333let me see if the graphically installed version can load synaptic for me04:32
head_victimI did install it with over 1gb there to use but I have just booted it now with 128 and it still opened ok04:33
mikedep333yeah04:33
mikedep333it looks like the entire gksu program does not work on my mini/minimal installed machine04:34
phillwmikedep333: have a read through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall04:36
mikedep333phillw: yes, I followed that guide04:37
mikedep333the only thing I did wrong was enable automatic updates during the installer04:37
head_victimThat will just make it last longer and use more space, can't imagine it causing an error unless the cd you installed from was corrupt04:38
* phillw ::sighs:: I did day to leave it 'OFF' :\04:38
head_victimOh it does make a difference?04:38
mikedep333again, I installed using the minimal/mini iso04:39
mikedep333that was only a 12MB iso04:39
mikedep333it downloaded all the packages over the 'net04:39
mikedep333I presume it did an MD5sum check or similar on them04:39
phillwhead_victim: yeah, it can really slow down the dkpg bit and you can run out of RAM04:39
head_victimphillw: ah k I have some old P3 laptops that I use mini's on exclusively04:40
phillwthe devs helped me write that set of instructions up, along with some other good people from the lubuntu and ubuntu community. For the moment, it's the best we have until the team can make a seperate minimal install cd04:41
phillwwhich is on the 'To Do' list.04:42
head_victimI'm just surprised it even runs on 12804:42
phillwhead_victim: it's very lean, exceedlingly keen and... well just really good :D04:43
head_victimYeah I was kinda over "lean" installs when xfce really didn't do a lot of performance so I wasn't expecting much from lxde either but it's been a nice surprise.04:43
mikedep333ok, my lubuntu-desktop.iso install load synaptic fine04:45
mikedep333I'll take a screenshot on the mini iso isntalled lubun tu04:45
head_victimMight be an issue with corruption if it was installed when it was trying to find some swap space04:45
mikedep333head_victim: the minimal system is supposed to be fine with only 128MB of RAM04:46
mikedep333but if you'd like, I'll reinstall with 384 (via the minimal iso)04:46
head_victimMaybe reinstall without doing the updates and see if it does make a difference04:46
phillwmikedep333: do check the iso download https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/CheckCD it will save you so much grief04:47
phillwbtw, head_victim have a good gander at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp to get to know where stuff is. If you find something missing / outdated please scream at me :)04:49
mikedep333phillw: yes, I get the same md5sum: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" Minimal CD 12.7MB (MD5: 02abb1a71bde21a1335e9368dad529ca,04:51
mikedep333https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD04:51
phillwI'm a bit stuck then, mikedep333 I know the minimal instructions do work :(04:52
phillwwe've spent quite a lot of time on them.04:53
mikedep333http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/6458/lubuntusynapticerror.png04:54
mikedep333phillw: I'll install it again, with 384MB04:54
head_victimmikedep333: oh so it's not an error error it's just a this is the wrong password. That is really odd04:55
phillwmikedep333: it will install on 128MB fine, I'm really stuck as to why you are having a problem.04:55
head_victimWell if it's just once it hasn't worked I'd always say have a second attempt.04:55
mikedep333yeah04:56
mikedep333bugs are reproduceable04:56
phillwmikedep333: 10.10 is just out, I can give you the links to 10.04 if it does seem to be a 10.10 bug.04:57
mikedep333ok04:57
* phillw has them on my server :D04:57
head_victimI don't think my local mirror would host them unless it gets official status04:58
head_victimI thought about pestering them04:59
phillwhead_victim: iWeb are dead cool with me being the secondary server for lubuntu04:59
head_victimMy local mirror has a 10gbps link ;)04:59
head_victimLocal as in in the country04:59
head_victimFor Australian's anything in Australia is as good as you're going to get as local.05:00
phillwhead_victim: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw#Web_Hosting we're setting up a ubuntu server on that beast :)05:00
head_victimI thought about setting up some webspace here but decided it was too much work for not really having a reason for it05:01
phillwhead_victim: with derrick having set up http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26 I don't think it is worth it; I do not know if you know the UBT overlord, bohdi, but he is the one who is going to harden a specific ubuntu server section on Derrick's system.05:05
head_victimNah don't know bohdi off the top of my head05:05
head_victimBut sounds like a good idea05:05
phillwhead_victim: we just call him boss, it's easier :)05:06
head_victimHah fair enough then05:06
mikedep333woot, my gateway's squid web proxy makes downloading packages really fast05:07
mikedep333head_victim, phillw: yes. I did a disc check on the xubuntu 10.10 alternate i386 installer. I then installed a command line only system from that. I then followed the steps on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall, and once I am at the LXDE/lubuntu desktop, gsku alwys tells me I have the wrong password05:17
mikedep333this did not happen with the lubuntu-desktop iso05:17
mikedep333and this was with 384MB of RAM05:17
mikedep333for both installations05:17
phillwmikedep333: why are you using xubuntu? mini-iso installs no desktop at all.05:20
mikedep333phillw: not knowing that my web cache was working, I didn't want to put  any unneeded strain on us.archive.ubuntu.com. It's going really slow because of the release. By using the alternate installer to install a CLI system, it has a lot of packages on CD rather than getting them from us.archive.ubuntu.com.05:21
mikedep333Note that mini.iso does not know of any other US mirrors05:21
XP1anyone here? i have lubuntu 10.10 but it doesn't shutdown. the HDD turns off but computer remains on the screen where it says killing process blah blah blah06:45

bioterror:D07:03
Mossyfunkhey bioterror =)07:03
bioterrorHI07:04
bioterrorxp1, so you need to press power button for like 5seconds07:07
MossyfunkIs there any reason why one would want a journaled filesystem for /boot?07:07
XP1pressing < 1 sec works when it is on the hanging part07:07
Mossyfunklol i googled >_>07:08
bioterrormossy, what does it say?07:08
MossyfunkSo if you have /boot on a non journaled filesystem then you are likely to lose data from that partition in case opf a crash.... whereas if /boot is on a journaled filesystem, like ext3 it can recover07:10
bioterroryes07:12
bioterrorusually i have /boot included on /07:12
MossyfunkYeah I have previously just had / and swap partitions but I was looking into setting up an old box as a server and ended up with 12 partitions lol07:14
Mossyfunkso I decided to have /boot, /, /home and swap07:14
Mossyfunkand use JFS07:14
bioterrorwhy  jfs?07:16
MossyfunkI just chose JFS for the hell of it07:16
MossyfunkaND BECAUSE WHAT i READ IT'S FAST07:16
Mossyfunksrry caps07:16
Mossyfunkwhy not jfs?07:16
bioterroryou seen comparisons?07:19
bioterrorand it beats shit out of ext407:19
bioterror?07:19
Mossyfunkdon't know how old what I am reading is but "JFS currently uses the least CPU resources of any GNU/Linux filesystem. Very fast at formatting, mounting and fsck's, and very good all-around performance"07:20

bioterroryeah, there's so much support for different hardware10:26
Mossyfunkconsidering /home on a seperate drive what do you think is a realistic size for a / partition on a desktop with a SHITLOAD of software installed?10:30
bioterrorit depends10:30
bioterroryou're doing /boot and / and /home on a different partitions?10:30
head_victimDepends on what sort of software, I've had problems filling 10gb for / on most of my pc's at home10:31
Mossyfunkyep10:31
bioterrorthen 10GB should be enough10:31
bioterrorand rest for the /home10:31
Mossyfunkhead_victim, really?10:31
Mossyfunkwell I dont exactly have space constraints hehe10:32
Mossyfunkthanks10:32
head_victimYeah me neither, the smallest / I have is 80gb10:32
head_victimIt's just got heaps spare "just in case" but my /home 's are 500gb to 2 tb so I'm not hard up for space10:32

MoLE_brilliant +1 for that bug12:08
head_victimEvening MoLE_ , glad I'm not the only one missing gvfs12:08
bioterrormaybe we get it for the 11.04 :-)12:08
* bioterror hides *12:09
bioterror:D12:09
MoLE_geez sounds like a simple fix, so I hope not12:09
bioterrorit is12:09
MoLE_bioterror, head_victim >> awesome fix btw, works just like in nautilus now12:11
MoLE_now I can stream star trek from my server .... :)12:12

head_victimHah the important things in life12:12
Mossyfunklove the epic theme song to enterprise HAHA12:13
head_victimbioterror: on that note is there anyway of getting the mount points to show up in the top left bar (with desktop, trash, applications, etc) like in nautilus?12:13
Mossyfunkthis would be handy12:13
* MoLE_ was given entire ds9 collection for birthday :D12:14

Mossyfunkhttp://pastebin.com/uDpWdu7j12:21
bioterrormossy, run apt-get dist-upgrade from terminal12:22
Mossyfunkwouldn't the update manager install the same upgraded packages?12:24
Mossyfunkwhats the difference? update manager updates the current versions but dist-upgrade upgrades to new package versions?12:25
bioterrortry it out12:26
bioterrorworked for me12:26
Mossyfunkyeah it worked12:26
Mossyfunkjust wondering why the other one failed12:26
bioterrordunno, but dont be afraid of the power of command line!12:26
Mossyfunkhehe no way12:27
MossyfunkI just like to know why something does what it does12:28

Keith_I have an older Compaq 500 Mhz 512MB RAM 80GB HDD. I've installed Xubuntu but it seems to be using up too many resources. Someone suggested I try Lubuntu. When I burned a CD and tried though, it says I lack 'cmov' and to try another kernel. Any suggestions?14:05
phillwKeith_: have you run the self test on the cd?14:06
Keith_I have not14:10
Keith_I'll do that14:11
phillwwould be a good thing to check, in case of a file corruption.14:11
bioterrorquick googling said that the problem is in the kernel or something14:11
phillwbioterror: it's odd, as when I asked on ufbt, they are not seeing reports on the forum area. I guess it is possible, but I'd expect the support forum to go into melt-down if there was a kernel problem in the new 10.1014:13
bioterrorhahahaha14:14
bioterrorI know what's the problem14:14
bioterrorhis CPU is i585 and the kernel is for the i68614:14
phillwahhh.... he's going to have to use the mini-iso, then14:15
phillwI do recall this discussion about dropping support for pre i686 and was totally opposed to it.14:16
bioterror:-)14:17
bioterrorI think he's using celeron or something14:17
mikedep333hey guys, I need an honest opinion. The museum I volunteer for has a pentium3 system with 128MB of RAM. I believe it has plenty of HDD space for swap. I'm pretty sure no graphics will be taking up RAM. Should I install lubuntu 10.10 on it (from the minimal installer) or something else like puppy linux?14:18
mikedep333it's hard for me to judge lubuntu 10.10 with 128MB RAM on a VM because it stores parts of the HDD image, like the swap space, in the host's RAM14:19
phillwmikedep333: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#Intended%20Audience14:20
mikedep333yeah14:20
mikedep333I'm thinking puppy will run faster but will be less usable14:20
mikedep333a variety of linux noobs will be using the computer14:20
bioterrorit's like americans and british people says tomato14:21
bioterroryou should consider using the mini-iso and fetch lubuntu-desktop14:22
bioterrorthat's what I would do14:22
phillwmikedep333: lubuntu's reason for existance is for older, lower spec computers. you get a good system that is up to date but is very frugal on resources.14:22
phillwwith 128MB ram, you cannot use the standard installation CD, ubiquity needs more than that to run. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall14:24
mikedep333phillw: yes, I ran through the minimal install 2 times last night. I was discussing that with you.14:31
mikedep333one time because the VM 128MB14:32
mikedep333*the VM had 128MB14:32
phillwthe mini-iso should work with 128MB14:32
mikedep333phillw: I believe the alternate installer requires only 64MB14:32
mikedep333one other thing. You guys should strongly considering using midori once it has more compatibility14:33
mikedep333midori is the very lightweight web browser that still using webkit and ns plugins (eg, flash)14:33
mikedep333it can access yotuube for example14:33
mikedep333I believe it is GTK14:33
mikedep333there's a PPA14:33
phillwmikedep333: chromium supports html5, and you can access youtube if you take part in http://www.youtube.com/html514:36
mikedep333phillw: oh, right. I remember that14:36
mikedep333I mentioned midori because I believe it takes up less RAM and CPU time.14:37
bioterrorthis discussion seems to be a little offtop and as my sith lord usually suggests, should we move to the #lubuntu-offtopic ;)14:38

mikedep333hey guys. My (GNOME) Ubuntu system is stuck during the (graphical) upgrade from 10.04 to 10.1016:30
mikedep333I would like to report a bug on that16:30

Benkinoobyhi, sorry for asking this question in this channel, but how can i remove all the lubuntu-desktop stuff from my ubuntu 10.04? removing the lubuntu-desktop packes isn't enough16:49
phillwBenkinooby: I don't have a full list of what to remove yet, sorry.16:58
mikedep333Benkinooby: maybe the computer janitor will offer to remove the rest of the lubuntu-desktop17:03
mikedep333you can try removing every package beginning with "lubuntu". You can try remove the "lxde" metapackage. Also, you can remove every package beginning with "lx" (I'm pretty sure of that, that there are no non-lxde packages beginning with lx.)17:04
mikedep333I think the computer janitor offers to remove all the packages that are something like "installed but no longer required"17:05
mikedep333apt-get bugs you about that17:05
mikedep333when you go to install anything17:05
mikedep333or upgrade anything17:05
* phillw it has been done :)17:11
phillwhe's such a really nice guy, but I'll kill him later for not telling me that he'd done it.17:11
phillwBenkinooby: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome17:12
phillwhe's one of the forum staff, so his instructions are 100% safe to use.17:13
Benkinoobyphillw, ah, good ol' psychocats ;) i once helped me a lot but i forgot about it ;)17:19
phillwhis pure lxde one is incorrect, I'll go tell him. I know it was on his list of things to do.17:20
Benkinoobyphillw, mikedep333 i used 'sudo aptitude' removed all packages the lubuntu-desktop package depends on and then resolved dependency problems (e.g. packages that belong to gnome and lxde)17:20
phillwhe's a really good guy.17:20
phillwthe psychocats method would have probably been easier :)17:21
mikedep333Benkinooby: ok, let me know how that works. Let me know if it removed all the lubuntu-desktop specific packages, or at least a good # of them.17:22
Benkinoobyphillw, psychocat only spakes about xubuntu wich is not lubuntu17:23
phillwBenkinooby: look at http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php under 'Playing around' section on the left17:24
Benkinoobyphillw, removed 40 packages17:24
Benkinoobykept 40 packages, because the partly belong to gnome, or because i like them (chromium)17:25
phillwBenkinooby: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9843196&postcount=41117:25
Benkinoobymikedep333, i prefer aptitude, becuase it usually manages packages far better than apt-get and also keeps a log of them17:25
Benkinoobyphillw, psychocats packages to be removed are very similar to mine. maybe his method is a bit faster, because he removes everything, and installs gnome later on, while i take a look at all "problematic" packages separately (arund 15 packages)17:29
Benkinoobyphillw, mikedep333 thank you for your patience, time and efforts17:29

ninjiHey anyone here knowledgeable about Lubuntu being a tad slow, and boot up(Lubuntu splash is missing, disabled it from grub) being equally slow as well.  After it does what seems to be standard linux loading it shuts off the video signal forcing me to turn my monitor on and off to get it back.  Then it stays on a black screen(no blinking cursor) for at least 2-3 minutes.  Performance in Lubuntu seems to be a bit stuttered as well.  I a23:09
ninjiwith windows 7 but Grub is on a separate drive.23:09
ninjiIt does this from LIVE cd as well as being installed.  Does the same kind of shut screen off deal checking the CD from the live disc as well23:10
|friTTe|no idea what it can be, but sounds strange23:12
bioterrorhmmm23:12
|friTTe|it can be slow when using Live usb, but what youre describing sounds strange23:12
ninjiYea, or running from CD the actual desktop can be a little sluggish but right now I have it installed23:12
bioterrorninji, what kind of computer do you have?23:12
ninjiCore i7 920, 6gb PC1600 DDR3, x58 intel chipset EVGA mobo,  Geforce GTX295, Linux is on second partition of a WD raptor, no swap.23:14
bioterroryou've built that machine from scratch?23:14
ninjiyea23:14
ninjiI don't have any problems with Windows, but this is the first time installing Linux on this specific machine23:15
|friTTe|looks like a monstermachine23:16
|friTTe|seems strange about it beeing sluggish23:16
ninjiYea, something is going on and  the system is not being verbose about it.  In that brief no splash loadup I didn't see any problems,  perhaps when its on black screen before login there may be something happening23:17
bioterroryou have the nvidia drivers installed?23:17
|friTTe|yeah, i have a flatscreen to this older computer with onboard gfx, it wont let me see bios or boot options23:18
|friTTe|the screen goes to blinking light energysaving mode23:18
|friTTe|so might be something there when you dont see23:18
ninjiI installed them earlier but they don't seem to fix the problems, nor do they fix the bootup problems.  They do introduce a nasty DPI glitch though, which using the startx DPI switch doesn't seem to fix23:18
bioterrorninji, and BTW23:19
|friTTe|hm ok23:19
bioterroryou should use mini iso23:19
bioterrorand install lubuntu-desktop23:19
bioterrorbecouse you have 64bit system and alot RAM23:19
ninjihmm thats what I was thinking23:19
bioterror!minimalcd23:19
ubot5The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD23:19
ninjiI was just being a bit lazy and seeing if the problem was wide spread23:19
|friTTe|then you will end up with a really light install23:20
bioterror!lubuntu-desktop23:20
ninjiYea, really I am installing Lubuntu to test it out and configure it23:20
|friTTe|sounds good :)23:20
ninjiI plan on making a music server box with it that is extremely minimal23:20
|friTTe|i like Lubu, gettting tired of all these fancy gfx and such23:20
bioterrorI saw some suggestions that you should use 64bit drivers23:20
ninjiyea i'll go ahead and load that mini-iso, I have it downloaded already on my windows partition23:21
bioterrorhope you grabbed the 64bit version ;)23:21
|friTTe|yeah, and pop by and let us know if all went well :)23:22
ninjiYea, I am not a big fan of the fancy interface either, unless they do something different to change the GUI in such radical ways.  I23:22

bioterrorjust a moment23:23

ninjii'll come back later, might be a few hours though.23:24
ninjispelling of what?23:24
|friTTe|bioterror, no spells and magic now =)23:24
|friTTe|think it might be the terminalcommands for Lubuntu minimal23:24
|friTTe|during install to get the desktop up and running, its really light once installed..tweaking afterwards is fun23:25
bioterrorsudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends lubuntu-desktop23:25
bioterrorthat's what they usually suggests23:25
ninjiroger that, its the same as in the wiki?23:26
|friTTe|https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall23:26
|friTTe|theres the guide i followed23:26
