[04:39] <lubatic> Uh.. so there's no xorg.conf in Lubuntu?
[04:41] <bioterror> only if you make one
[04:41] <bioterror> it will override the settings
[04:45] <andri> arffh
[04:45] <andri> I have no sound! :o
[04:46] <bioterror> where did it go?
[04:46] <andri> It doesn't work! :(
[04:46] <andri> Just formatted my OS drive
[04:46] <bioterror> you havent muted it?-)
[04:46] <andri> And now I installed lubuntu
[04:46] <andri> I just don't think they are installed or something..
[04:46] <bioterror> you should say in terminal dmesg |more
[04:46] <bioterror> or lspci |more
[04:47] <andri> Cause there's not even an Volume Control when the panel settings say it should.

[04:55] <andri> Don't think so
[04:55] <andri> It was just done with windows partition manager
[04:55] <andri> Disk manager or something
[04:56] <andri> But now that windows doesn't exist :S
[04:56] <bioterror> you should see it with gparted
[04:56] <andri> Don't think I have that installed
[04:57] <andri> Where can I get gparted?
[04:59] <bioterror> sudo apt-get install gparted
[05:00] <andri> Ok thanks! :D
[05:00] <andri> Wuth

[11:38] <daira> Hello, how to permanently change keyboard layout in lubuntu?
[11:52] <head_victim> daira: http://foo-gr.blogspot.com/2010/04/keyboard-layout-configuration-for.html looks promising
[11:53] <head_victim> You might just need to work out what the keyboard layout acronym is for the language you are wanting to use.
[11:56] <daira> head_victim, thx
[11:56] <head_victim> daira: no worries, also just saw https://edge.launchpad.net/lxkeymap
[11:57] <head_victim> But I can't seem to find anywhere to get the files for that gui version I just posted.
[11:59] <head_victim> Oh hang on the deb is available at http://zevenos.com/files/lxkeymap_0.2_all.deb according to https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-desktop/msg02406.html
[11:59] <JoeMaverickSett> it's in the synaptics package manager. :)
[11:59] <head_victim> JoeMaverickSett: I couldn't find it
[11:59] <head_victim> What's it called?
[11:59] <JoeMaverickSett> head_victim: lxkeymap
[12:00] <head_victim> Hmm
[12:00] <head_victim> Oh I haven't added the PPA yet, it might be there but it's not on my Lubuntu here :/
[12:00] <daira> head_victim, i have no xorg.conf.d folder in X11
[12:00] <JoeMaverickSett> head_victim: i've never added any ppa for my lubuntu. O_o?
[12:01] <JoeMaverickSett> daira: try finding "lxkeymap" first in synaptics package manager.
[12:01] <daira> thx
[12:01] <head_victim> JoeMaverickSett: I don't seem to have it, I'm running 10.10 if that matters?
[12:02] <head_victim> I was just using apt-get from command line but I double checked in synaptic
[12:02] <JoeMaverickSett> head_victim: i have no idea now. i'm also running 10.10
[12:03] <daira> i cant find it also
[12:03] <head_victim> JoeMaverickSett:  I think you have the PPA installed
[12:03] <JoeMaverickSett> weird. :/
[12:04] <daira> can i modify /etc/default/locale?
[12:05] <daira> can i modify /etc/default/locale     ?
[12:05] <head_victim> daira: what version are you running? 10.10?
[12:05] <daira> zes
[12:05] <daira> yes : )
[12:05] <head_victim> daira: head to https://edge.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=maverick
[12:06] <head_victim> Follow the instructions to add that PPA and then you can just install the lxkeymap program which looks the best way of achieving your desired results.
[12:06] <JoeMaverickSett> okie, although i now have the lxkeymap, my language is not listed. :(
[12:06] <JoeMaverickSett> how sad! :'(
[12:08] <head_victim> I use English (en_AU locale) so pretty easy to find stuff that works fortunately.
[12:14] <daira> it says that my locale is not installed on my system
[12:15] <head_victim> daira: what is your locale?
[12:15] <daira> it is croatian, hr
[12:15] <daira> although i can type on my locale now, i will try to reboot
[12:16] <JoeMaverickSett> does the lucid-bleed ppa work for you guys?
[12:16] <JoeMaverickSett> mine always fails to download.
[12:22] <daira> Hello, as i said it is back to us
[12:22] <daira> after reboot
[12:23] <head_victim> Odd.
[12:23] <head_victim> Hang on I'll have another google.
[12:23] <daira> can i make a script that will run on startup that will do sudo setxkbmap hr
[12:23] <head_victim> Surely can (if that's the command that makes it work for you)
[12:24] <head_victim> If you want to do anything like that just add the command to the file /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart on the bottom line with an "@" in front of it.
[12:24] <daira> it works here but not in terminal
[12:25] <daira> when i set it with that command
[12:25] <daira> šđčćž
[12:25] <daira> in terminal i see ??????
[12:25] <head_victim> Ah
[12:26] <daira> i have added that to autostart, i will reboot to check if it works
[12:26] <head_victim> Ok
[12:30] <daira> hey guys, FYI it works : )
[12:31] <daira> šđčćž
[12:31] <head_victim> Glad it works
[12:31] <head_victim> I have no idea what you're typing :D
[12:34] <bioterror> daira, looks good

=== JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett
[13:32] <audio> bioterror: Do I remember correctly from a previous chat that you use Gigolo to access Windows/Samba shares using 10.10? If so does it work OK for you?
[13:33] <audio> I used it fine on 10.04, 10.10 - problems
[13:33] <bioterror> gigolo? :o
[13:33] <bioterror> I use PCmanFM with gvfs-backends
[13:33] <audio> Is that not gigolo - I thought it was the same.
[13:34] <bioterror> gigolo uses gvfs-backends
[13:34] <audio> How do you browse the LAN?
[13:34] <bioterror> browse lan, what do you mean by that
[13:35] <audio> How do you display a list of available shares?
[13:35] <bioterror> PCManFM shows it to me
[13:35] <bioterror> it shows my group called SAPPORO
[13:35] <bioterror> and machines behind SAPPORO
[13:35] <head_victim> PCmanFM works for me as well as long as you install the gvfs-backen
[13:35] <audio> OK that is what Gigolo did for me on 10.04
[13:35]  * phillw waves to bioterror
[13:36] <bioterror> hi phillw
[13:36] <bioterror> gigolo might be something for the xfce users, but we with lxde, we have PCmanFM ;)
[13:36] <phillw> dratted 3G device ran out of bandwidth, and did not automatically switch to the new package I'd put on it :(
[13:37] <audio> is gvfs-backend a standard repo package?
[13:37] <bioterror> it should be, but it's missing from the 10.10 installation package
[13:37] <bioterror> for a mystical, but inhuman reason
[13:37] <phillw> bioterror: I think it was an 'oops' moment :P
[13:37] <bioterror> hahaha
[13:38] <bioterror> yeah, I bet someone left a little "d'
[13:38] <bioterror> yeah, I bet someone left a little "d'oh" out of his mouth
[13:38] <audio> So I have to install gvfs-backend separately is that correct?
[13:38] <bioterror> just say "sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends"
[13:38] <phillw> audio: for the time being, yes.
[13:38] <audio> OK
[13:38] <bioterror> nothing more, nothing less
[13:38] <bioterror> it should be added to lubuntu-desktop or something
[13:39] <phillw> dyfet: SIT STILL !!!! :p
[13:39] <bioterror> :D
[13:39] <bioterror> easy boy, easy!
[13:39] <bioterror> ;D
[13:39] <dyfet> Having connectivity fun today :)
[13:39] <phillw> dyfet: we all have days like that :)
[13:40]  * JoeMaverickSett does everyhour of almost everyday. ;)
[13:40] <phillw> hiyas lab animal, I hope your days goes well :)
[13:40] <JoeMaverickSett> phillw: yes, it is.
[13:41] <JoeMaverickSett> phillw: btw, the dd thing still did not solve the I/o Errors. :/
[13:41] <phillw> kewl, I see that mohi is trying to sell you for 1000USD :D
[13:41] <JoeMaverickSett> phillw: so, i did a fresh install left 20GB for testing, and now i'm on Ubuntu Maverick. :)
[13:41] <phillw> JoeMaverickSett: I suspect the hard drive is poorly.
[13:42] <JoeMaverickSett> phillw: i guess so. :-/ i did wipe everything. but no luck.
[13:42] <phillw> I have a spare 500GB 2.5" SATA laptop drive, but I'm in the UK.
[13:42] <JoeMaverickSett> phillw: i'll get it when i get there. :P
[13:42] <JoeMaverickSett> ah, btw, we are getting offtopic. ;D
[13:43] <phillw> in fact, I'm pretty sure I have 2.
[13:43]  * phillw oops, wrong tab !!
[13:44] <JoeMaverickSett> btw, my lubuntu is showing up that, http://ppa.launchpad.net/lucid-bleed/ppa/ubuntu/  has failed to download. :/
[13:44] <audio> OK I have installed gvfs-backends and started PCmanFM how do I show the remote shares?
[13:47] <head_victim> audio: click "go" and then there should be "network drives"
[13:48] <JoeMaverickSett> head_victim: if we got ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa, lxkeymap would have been in the synaptics. :) [just to let you know.]
[13:48] <audio> head_victim: Got it - thanks.
[13:48] <head_victim> JoeMaverickSett: yeah that's where I sent her in the end ;)
[13:48] <head_victim> audio: no worries mate
[13:49] <JoeMaverickSett> head_victim: oh, okie.cool! ;D
[13:49] <head_victim> Hm I assumed a her, could have easily been a he. Sorry for that.
[13:49] <JoeMaverickSett> head_victim: no problem. :D
[13:51] <JoeMaverickSett> what are the other ppa for lubuntu apart from ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa?
[13:52] <audio> OK I have all the network shares listed in PCManFM - which is good.
[13:53] <audio> If I create a leafpad document how do I save it to a share?  How do I find the share in leafpad?
[13:54] <head_victim> I'd just navigate through pcmanfm and either right click on what you want to open or just create a new empty document where you wanted it.
[13:55] <audio> Yes I can do that.  However, I would also like to know how to do it from within an app like leafpad.
[13:55] <head_victim> Ah k, I haven't used leafpad much, I generally stick to nano sorry.
[13:55] <audio> Just have to find out wher the mount point for the share is.
[13:58] <audio> Got it.  It is in a hidden directory ~/.gvfs
[13:59] <head_victim> Ah yeah I remember that now you mention it. Sorry I'm a little tired at the moment.
[14:01] <audio> Does anyone know why the shares are in a hidden directory?  It makes it awkward for novice users to find the shares from say a word-processor or graphics editor.
[14:02] <audio> It would be simpler if they were in plain view in either the home dir or on tyhe desktop.
[14:03] <dyfet> .gvfs I recall kind of maps shares arbitarily as needed.  I imagine the theory is that you  don't want it "directly" visible, only instances that are mounted...
[14:03] <dyfet> (and other fuse things, of course...)
[14:03] <head_victim> audio: you can mount them wherever you like from memory that's just the "default" location.
[14:04] <audio> head_victim: any clue how to do that?
[14:04] <head_victim> I use fstab
[14:04] <head_victim> Then it automounts on boot to a location of my choosing
[14:05] <head_victim> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[14:05] <head_victim> It's the first real CLI stuff I ever did.
[14:06] <head_victim> Once you get the options right it's really simple.
[14:07] <head_victim> But I have to head off now as I'm falling asleep at my desk.
[14:07] <audio> head_victim: Thanks for the link - I am comfortable with fstab but was looking for a dynamic solution rather than fixed.
[14:07] <audio> sllep well - thanks
[14:07] <audio> *sleep
[14:07] <head_victim> Ah, don't use fstab just use the "mount" command.
[14:07] <head_victim> You can mount and unmount at will.
[14:08] <audio> dynamic and gui based for novice users.
[14:08] <dyfet> There is also autofs/automounter...
[14:08] <head_victim> Oh
[14:08] <audio> something like the old pyneighbourhood.
[14:08] <audio> or Gigolo
[14:09] <audio> dyfet: Don't know autofs.automounter
[14:10] <dyfet> autofs basically is an automount system.  It works particularly well with accessing nfs shares
[14:10] <audio> and Samba too?
[14:11] <dyfet> Not as easily, since it runs as a system daemon.  Hence, you kind of are stuck with which credentials you use.  gvfs is kinda like autofs, but operates at the user level...
[14:11] <head_victim> Good luck audio & dyfet see you later
[14:11] <audio> thanks - bye
[14:12] <audio> dyfet: not sure about that as I have exclusively Samba shares.
[14:14] <dyfet> If you are the only user on the machine, autofs might work fine for you.  If you need to login as different users who have different authentication info for the samba shares, it porbably wont
[14:15] <Mohan_chml> phillw: any new bid for my Lab animal??? I think 0.50 $ is the last one I got
[14:17] <audio> dyfet multiple users here and ultimately a Samba based PDC for authentication printing etc.
[14:18] <dyfet> You might try using gigilo then.  There was also a cute utility out there that scans and maps all the samba shares into a directory tree, but you would need to come up with a way to start and stop the daemon as users login and out....
[14:20] <audio> dyfet: Can you recall the name or authors site address for the utility?
[14:20] <dyfet> I am trying to...It was about 6 months ago that I played with it briefly...
[14:20] <audio> Think hard and recall well.  Here's hoping...
[14:21] <dyfet> Ah...I think it was fusesmb...
[14:21] <dyfet> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb
[14:23] <audio> Interestingly that page recommends smbnetfs as fusesmb has several outstanding bug reports.
[14:24] <dyfet> What was nice was that each user could have separate authentication credentials and it would automatically map and mount all the shares that user can access which it found into a directory tree on the user's home...but I did not play with it other than trying it out once...
[14:24] <dyfet> So I am not sure of the bug issues :)
[14:25] <audio> Well... it gives me another option.
[14:26] <dyfet> Certainly worth looking at
[14:28] <phillw> audio: you may want to have a quick look at http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=96 It may, or may not, be of help to you.
[14:28] <audio> Also now I have installed gvfs-backends, Gigolo is now working correctly.
[14:37] <audio> phillw: thanks foe the link.  I was hoping to find a GUI mechanism rather than fixed means via fstab.  That way users might be able to do it for themselves. gvfs-backends almost does what I want but seems to need the share to be opened via PCManFM before it is accessible (mounted?)
[14:38] <audio> Gigolo is now working (after installing gvfs-backends) and will automount the shares.
[14:39] <audio> 2 problems it uses the hidden directory ~/.gvfs which is not user friendly, and how to start Gigolo at boot-up?
[14:41] <phillw> audio: it sounds to me that you need some added functionality in pcmanfm, the author is always willing to listen to what people want it to do.
[14:41] <phillw> he does not bite :)
[14:41] <bioterror> pcman is awesome ;)
[14:42] <audio> How to start an X-app from boot-up in Lubuntu?
[14:43] <bioterror> sad157@bukkake ~/.config/autostart $ ls
[14:43] <bioterror> bluetooth-applet.desktop  gnome-at-session.desktop  mintwelcome.desktop  print-applet.desktop
[14:51] <audio> bioterror: 2 questions is the email address sad... for pcman?  Is there a system wide equivalent of ~/.config/autostart i.e. 1 entry per machine which is executed for each user when they boot-up/login?
[14:51] <bioterror> that's done when login
[14:51] <bioterror> maybe someone could help out more, I havent had a need to load anything on login
[14:51] <audio> OK
[14:52] <audio> was the email address for pcman?
[14:53] <bioterror> From: PCMan <pcman.tw@gmail.com>
[14:53] <head_victim> audio: you mean /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart ?
[14:54] <head_victim> (I'm really asleep, honest)
[14:54] <audio> head_victim: does that allow X apps to be started at boot-up/login? (Yawn)
[14:55] <head_victim> That's where I start my conky, amsn, xchat and skype from

[15:08] <thevishy> if i need to run lubuntu from harddisk ISO is that possible ?
[15:11] <phillw> thevishy: yes, but you need to need manually edit a grub entry.
[15:12] <thevishy> yeah I can do that fine
[15:12] <thevishy> but need to know what to give . Like i tried a few things but it didnt come up
[15:12] <thevishy> is the iso a LIVE CD ?
=== MonthOLDpickle is now known as Work|MOP
[15:17] <phillw> thevishy: yes it is, as well as the install system. you can also consider running from usb with persistance turned on, thus keeping your changes etc.
[15:20] <thevishy> thanks ok

[15:53] <andrii> My internet doesn't work on lubuntu. (Wired) It worked fine yesterday, I've double checked and the cable is definitely connected..
[15:55] <andrii> Any ideas what might be causing this?
[15:58] <phillw> andrii: I've not seen that problem, so cannot really help. You may want to have a read of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall#Unmanaged%20Wired%20Network but I do not think that is the issue :(
[16:03] <audio> andril: Has your PC been given an IP address?
[16:04] <Work|MOP> are you behind a router?
[16:05] <andrii> I am behind a router yes, but my computer with lubuntu wont even open the router (router ip)
[16:06] <andrii> I tried another cable, no go.
[16:06] <Work|MOP> try direct to modem
[16:06] <andrii> I checked system profiler, it detects the ethernet card in the computer
[16:06] <andrii> Direct modem??
[16:06] <Work|MOP> you know how it goes cable modem > router> you
[16:06] <andrii> I don't think that's possible
[16:06] <Work|MOP> go cable modem > you
[16:06] <andrii> Either way it would be too much trouble.. Doesn't make sense since my wireless network works?
[16:07] <Work|MOP> yea it is..grab the source that goes in router from behind =p
[16:07] <Work|MOP> router lan ports could be dead
[16:07] <Work|MOP> this is troubleshooting

[16:12] <andrii> I have one but I'm not running my lubuntu from there
[16:12] <andrii> yeah
[16:12] <andrii> they say no connectino
[16:13] <audio> No IP address?
[16:13] <audio> fort eth0
[16:13] <audio> *for eth0
[16:13] <andrii> Says "No network connection"
[16:14] <Work|MOP> in the eth0 spot?
[16:14] <andrii> eth0 says last used NEVER
[16:14] <andrii> When I used it last night..
[16:14] <andrii> the eth0 spot is there allright
[16:14] <andrii> And I can edit it
[16:15] <audio> Has the PC been rebooted since the connection was lost?
[16:15] <andrii> Yeah
[16:17] <andrii> I deleted the eth0 and I'm rebooting now.
[16:17] <andrii> WHich didn't yield any results.
[16:18] <audio> Is it possible to use a different port to connect the cable to the router?
[16:18] <Work|MOP> maybe ip conflicts
[16:19] <andrii> I've already tried two different cables connected in two different ports.
[16:19] <audio> Is the router your DHCP server?
[16:19] <Work|MOP> two different ports =/= different ip
[16:19] <andrii> I don't know, is there a way to find out?
[16:19] <andrii> How do I assign different ip?
[16:20] <audio> How do you normally configure the router? it is often via a web browser.
[16:20] <andrii> Yeah
[16:21] <audio> can you do that from the machine you are using now?
[16:21] <andrii> Yes
[16:21] <andrii> What should I do?
[16:22] <audio> Check to find the DHCP server in the router and check if the lease has expired for the problem PC.
[16:23] <andrii> when I open up the ethport1 which is my laptop connected with a cable, it says IP address assignment: dhcp
[16:25] <andrii> How would I find the dhcp server?
[16:26] <audio> It is often a web page in the router.  Do you have a menu or something like that?
[16:26] <andrii> Yeah
[16:26] <andrii> But I've been through some menus I can't find anything like a dhcp server.. what does it look like?
[16:27] <audio> Its different with every router but will probably show IP addresses.
[16:28] <andrii> The only thing I find related to this dhcp is on each device on my network
[16:29] <audio> Is the problem PC shown?
[16:29] <andrii> Nope
[16:30] <andrii> I also kinda did delete eth0 from the problem pc but that was just recently to see if it would automatically acquire new one..
[16:31] <audio> The idea of checking the router/DHCP is to eliminate the possibility of an expiered lease for the problem PC IP address. Can you see any way to do this?
[16:34] <Work|MOP> have you power cycled the router >.>
[16:35] <andrii> The only device on port2 is hulk which is the name of the pc when I was using windows.. but that one says DHCP Lease Time:	0 days, 23:47:57
[16:35] <andrii> Power cycled my router?
[16:35] <Work|MOP> turned it off and unplug it
[16:35] <Work|MOP> for a few minutes
[16:35] <Work|MOP> haha
[16:36] <andrii> Would the problem PC automatically acquire a new eth0 ?
[16:36] <andrii> Cause I deleted it hoping a reboot would generate a new one
[16:36] <andrii> Which it didn't.. :p
[16:37] <Work|MOP> just type eth0 back into the network manager
[16:37] <andrii> network manager?
[16:37] <Work|MOP> just guessing cause in debian for my laptop I just have to type wlan0 for my wireless to work on a fresh install
[16:37] <audio> If the problem PC is set to use DHCP it should get an IP address from the router DHCP server.
[16:38] <andrii> Let me power cycle then 1 moment
[17:53] <andrii> well that didnt work
[17:57] <andrii> well I found out my DHCP server
[17:58] <Work|MOP> yea sorry I have to do this every other month with my router
[17:58] <Work|MOP> So tell more about dhcp
[18:00] <andrii> what u mean?
[18:01] <andrii> the dhcp address is 192.168.1.254
[18:01] <andrii> But I have to go, I'll be back in 15 minutes. Hope u will still be here!+
[18:01] <Work|MOP> my touer begins to stop giving out ips etc so I have to power recycle every so often
[18:01] <Work|MOP> okay
[18:01] <bioterror> hey
[18:02] <bioterror> tell me what's that lubuntu powermanager
[18:02] <bioterror> that battery software
[18:02] <bioterror> gotta know it asap
[18:02] <Work|MOP> can't tell you for sure...
[18:02] <bioterror> gnome-power-manager?
[18:03] <Work|MOP> sounds right to me!
[18:03] <Work|MOP> I dont' have my mini on me
[18:03] <Work|MOP> I have lubuntu in vm but it doesn' tshow a battery
[18:08] <bioterror> hmm
[18:17] <andrii> So
[18:17] <andrii> I'm back.
[18:18] <andrii> I need to start by making a new eth connection. Does it go into wired connection?
[18:19] <Work|MOP> man I could tell you but I am prob just as new as this as you are
[18:19] <Work|MOP> I just know in network manager your wifi usually says wlan0
[18:19] <andrii> Dang
[18:19] <Work|MOP> and wired says eth0
[18:19] <andrii> How do I open network manager?
[18:19] <bioterror> nm-applet
[18:19] <audio> andril: do you want to make some other checks first?
[18:20] <andrii> Okay, which checks?
[18:20] <audio> Just to see that your NIC is recognized etc
[18:20] <andrii> Ok tell me what to do
[18:21] <audio> System tools ->System profiler and benchmarks
[18:21] <audio> Kernel Modules
[18:22] <audio> Scroll down the list looking for an entry with eth0
[18:22] <audio> or Ethernet Driver
[18:23] <andrii> I only see under Benchmarks: CPU Blowfish, CPU CryptoHash, CPU Fibonacci, CPU N-Queens, FPU FFT and FPU Raytracing
[18:23] <audio> At the head of the list Computer-> Kernel Modules
[18:24] <andrii> ah ok
[18:24] <andrii> I found my Gigabyte ethernet driver
[18:24] <andrii> called r8169
[18:24] <audio> good. your machine found it
[18:25] <audio> In the network section
[18:25] <andrii> YEah
[18:25] <audio> Interfaces
[18:25] <audio> is eth0 there?
[18:25] <andrii> Yes
[18:26] <audio> with an IP address?
[18:26] <bioterror> hey
[18:26] <andrii> No+
[18:26] <bioterror> tell me what's that lubuntu volume applet?
[18:26] <bioterror> cant find it from meta package
[18:27] <audio> andril: next section IP connections
[18:27] <andrii> THere's a bunch of stuff there..  6 entries
[18:28] <andrii> Its all just 127.0.0.1 stuff
[18:28] <andrii> Some with ports like 127.0.0.1:123
[18:28] <audio> any IP address  192.xxx.xxx.xxx?
[18:28] <andrii> nope
[18:28] <audio> OK
[18:28] <andrii> So this means that my PC needs to be given a IP address by the router?
[18:29] <slow-motion> hi
[18:29] <audio> Your machine has found the, installed the driver but not been allocated an IP address by the DHCP server.
[18:29] <andrii> Is there a way to fix this?
[18:29] <audio> *found the NIC
[18:30] <audio> depends if the problem is the PC or the router.
[18:31] <audio> On the panel left click the network icon 2 arrows
[18:31] <audio> is there an entry for eth0?
[18:32] <audio> andril: panel=task bar
=== JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett
[18:35] <andrii> Sorry, if you said anything I haven't seen it
[18:35] <andrii> My browser crashed after I sent the last message
[18:35] <audio> OK where are you upto?
[18:36] <andrii> Where am I up to?
[18:36] <andrii> Oh
[18:36] <andrii> Well, I told you that the internet was working yesterday
[18:36] <audio> What is the last message you saw before the browser crash?
[18:36] <andrii> The one I sent
[18:37] <audio> send again.
[18:37] <andrii> ----I don't remember it was something about all other devices worked yesterday
[18:37] <andrii> Lol no wait
[18:37] <andrii> All other devices WORK
[18:37] <andrii> And the problem pc worked yesterday
[18:37] <audio> NO No wait...
[18:38] <audio> what is the last part of our conversation you saw?
[18:39] <andrii> BLargh I don't remember you said that the pc got nic and installed drivers but dont got ip from dchp or sumtn and that it couild maybe be fixed depending on if its a router problem or pc problem
[18:39] <audio> andril: Ok  lets continue...
[18:39] <andrii> Then I told you that all other devices that connect to the internet work (all wlan, ps3, laptop via cable, tv etc)
[18:40] <andrii> Ok
[18:40] <audio> On the panel left click the network icon 2 arrows
[18:40] <andrii> Aye
[18:40] <audio> is there an entry for eth0?
[18:40] <audio> Auto eth0 that should be
[18:41] <andrii> ONly grayed out "Wired Network" under it is grayed out disconnected. Then there's vpn connection that let me open some connection manager or someting
[18:42] <audio> OK another question.  Your machine was working yesterday, did you run any Lubuntu updates or cahnge any hardware?
[18:42] <audio> *change
[18:42] <andrii> not that I remember, I just shut it down and went to sleep..
[18:43] <audio> and it closed down normally?
[18:43] <andrii> I did install ati control panel but the internet was working after that
[18:43] <andrii> Yeah
[18:43] <audio> OK
[18:43] <audio> are you OK at the command line?
[18:45] <audio> andril: ?
[18:46] <andrii> So what, I need to reinstall Lubuntu or what?
[18:46] <andrii> haha sorry
[18:46] <andrii> Omg it doesn't auto scroll down..
[18:46] <andrii> Ok... Ok at the command line?
[18:47] <andrii> What do you mean?
[18:47] <audio> have you opened lxterminal?
[18:47] <andrii> yea
[18:47] <audio> OK
[18:48] <audio> copy and paste this
[18:48] <andrii> ok
[18:48] <audio> ifconfig eth0 up
[18:48] <audio> and press return
[18:49] <andrii> done that
[18:49] <andrii> Nothing really happened though..
[18:49] <audio> OK type ifconfig
[18:49] <audio> and press return
[18:49] <audio> look for an IP address
[18:49] <andrii> aye
[18:50] <audio> 192.xxx.xxx.xxx
[18:50] <andrii> only see localhost (127.0.0.1
[18:50] <audio> OK
[18:50] <audio> nearly out of possibilities now.
[18:50] <andrii> :s
[18:51] <audio> when you came to the room earlier today did you follow the guidance by phillw on the web page link he gave?
[18:52] <andrii> Yes
[18:52] <andrii> They didn't work
[18:52] <audio> OK
[18:53] <audio> the only other thing I can suggest is to remove the software you installed yesterday just in case it is causing some form of conflict
[18:54] <andrii> Hmm ok..
[18:54] <audio> another option would be to try a different network card if you have one.
[18:55] <andrii> I assigned an IP address to eth0
[18:56] <andrii> But that didn't work
[19:00] <andrii>  /sigh I've had nonstop problems with lubuntu and ubuntu since I was introduced to them. Why does it fascinate people??
[19:01] <bioterror> <3 problems <3
[19:01] <audio> It's normally a breeze.
[19:01] <andrii> It's been more of a storm than a breeze for me. CONSTANTLY. :<
[19:02] <andrii> And for some reason it doesn't work for me to install windows anymore
[19:02] <andrii> It just gives me cannot create or find existing partition on this disk
[19:02] <bioterror> :D
[19:02] <andrii> Like.. wtf?
[19:02] <audio> andril: We have established your NIC is seen by the system, the kernel modules are installed for it, that the cable is good, and the ports on the router have been changed.  You are not able to diagnose whether the router DHCP lease has expired so that remains a possibility.
[19:03] <audio> But it sounds like you may have other issues.
[19:03] <bioterror> heeeeyy
[19:03] <bioterror> can someone really click the right mouse button on the volume control applet on the systray and tell me what the about says
[19:03] <ode2oddness> hello
[19:03] <ode2oddness> i have some trouble
[19:03] <andrii> What issues?
[19:04] <ode2oddness> Pidgin doesn't places inside SysTray
[19:04] <audio> bioterror: LXPanel 0.5.6
[19:04] <bioterror> audio, daamn
[19:04] <ode2oddness> it's the only problem i encountered in this otherwise Easy to use system ;P
[19:05] <ode2oddness> can anyone help me ?
[19:05] <ode2oddness> or maybe install other IM ??
[19:05] <bioterror> you can try "amsn"
[19:05] <bioterror> if you use pidgin for the msn
[19:05] <audio> being unable to install Windows is not a good indicator
[19:05] <ode2oddness> nah
[19:05] <ode2oddness> i am from Poland and i use mainly GG ;P
[19:06] <ode2oddness> ???
[19:06] <bioterror> have you checked prefences
[19:06] <ode2oddness> i guess
[19:06] <ode2oddness> i will just reinstall that fcking Pidgin\
[19:06] <andrii> What could be wrong with the hdd?
[19:06] <ode2oddness> 2.7.4 version just appeared
[19:07] <audio> andril: I'm curious how long have you had Lubuntu installed and what version is it?
[19:07] <andrii> I deleted the partitions, created a new one, formatted.. and can't install...
[19:07] <ode2oddness> since few hours
[19:07] <ode2oddness> on notebok
[19:07] <ode2oddness> *notebook
[19:07] <andrii> Newest, since yesterday
[19:07] <ode2oddness> ok
[19:07] <bioterror> ode2oddness,
[19:07] <bioterror> hey
[19:08] <bioterror> found it for ya
[19:08] <bioterror> preferences -> interface
[19:08] <bioterror> tools -> preferences -> interface -> your systray
[19:08] <bioterror> I bet it says "never" ;)
[19:08] <audio> andril: I don't like to suggest it but it might be easier to start again than to try and diagnose and fix the current issues.
[19:09] <andrii> Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information. Wtf where are those files?
[19:09] <andrii> Yeah I guess soþþ
[19:09] <andrii> Should I bother with that swap thing?
[19:10] <audio> Is that a message from the Lubuntu installer?
[19:10] <andrii> No, windows one.
[19:10] <ode2oddness> TY anyway for help i will handle it myself
[19:10] <bioterror> hahahaha
[19:10] <audio> Are you now dropping Lubuntu and installing Windows?
[19:11] <bioterror> that was grateful guy
[19:11] <andrii> I'm not, but I want windows as well cause it's a gaming pc :p
[19:11] <andrii> I made two partitions for each OS.
[19:11] <andrii> Turns out that the lubuntu one just effs up and I can't even install the windows lol,..
[19:12] <audio> I don't know why that is I installed Windows and Lubuntu 2 days ago and they just worked OK.
[19:13] <andrii> might this be  related to the bios?
[19:13] <andrii> The computer is overclocked
[19:13] <andrii> Unlocked extra 2 cores etc.
[19:13] <audio> Why do you suspect the bios?
[19:13] <andrii> Just exploring options..
[19:13] <audio> dunno?
[19:15] <audio> andril: does windows still work?
[19:15] <andrii> No I removed windows already
[19:16] <audio> OK
[19:16] <andrii> hmm
[19:16] <audio> andril: another thought occurs
[19:16] <andrii> I think grub is still installed on my OS HDD even though I have deleted all partitions and formatted it??
[19:17] <audio> You have the Lubuntu 10.10 Live CD
[19:17] <andrii> Yeah
[19:17] <andrii> Oh and I also found out that when I first installed lubuntu, it installed grub on sda which is a dynamic drive.
[19:18] <andrii> Might those files be interfering?
[19:18] <audio> If you boot the PC using that in Live mode it might allow a network connection to be established and prove the router DHCP and PC NIC are working OK.
[19:18] <andrii> Hmm Ok I'll do that.
[19:19] <andrii> Oh wait
[19:19] <andrii> Windows installs now
[19:19] <andrii> Wtf
[19:19] <andrii> The only thing I changed was the bootsequence..
[19:20] <Work|MOP> is installing or boots?
[19:20] <andrii> Installing.
[19:20] <andrii> Im going to cancel though cause I'm going to install it on a 50GB partition instead of the whole 500g
[19:21] <andrii> Isn't that smart?
[19:21] <Work|MOP> doesn't use the entire disk
[19:21] <Work|MOP> but yes I'd put it on the smaller HD
[19:21] <audio> When you install windows it will probably overwrite the MBR and possibly stop booting of Lubuntu.
[19:22] <andrii> I already deleted lubuntu
[19:22] <andrii> It was on disk1
[19:22] <andrii> and I deleted all partitions and formatted
[19:22] <andrii> THen I'll install lubuntu again at a later time.
[19:23] <andrii> All this tech hussling makes me dizzy lol
[19:23] <Work|MOP> I had to reformat like 7 times for lubuntu basic to evne work right =/
[19:23] <andrii> >_>;
[19:23] <andrii> If my whole disk1 is only 1 partition (whole size) is it possible to cut it down later?
[19:24] <audio> andril: Well you don't really need us any more if you are installing Windows and not Lubuntu.
[19:24] <andrii> True.
[19:24] <andrii> I was about to go and move some muscles anyway.
[19:24] <andrii> It's saddening that we couldn't figure out the problem but I guess a fresh new install works too :D
[19:25] <audio> Perhaps try it in Live mode first.
[19:25] <andrii> Yeah. Ok I'll try it later cause right now, I need to move some stiff muscles.. :p
[19:25] <andrii> I want to thank you sincerely for all your help today.
[19:25] <andrii> You have been most helpful!
[21:08] <Timo_> hey phillw!
[21:08] <Timo_> and everyone else

[23:44] <friTTe|> depends on what you got on it
[23:44] <friTTe|> :)
[23:45] <friTTe|> hmm sucks sometimes when my Lubuntu is swedish when trying to explay hehe
[23:45] <friTTe|> *explain
