[00:00] phillw: i haven't tried this yet, i'll give it a shot in a minute, thank you [00:06] szczur: are you a member of the ubt? [00:07] Timo_, nope [00:07] aight [00:07] i'll be someday :> [00:08] what about you? [00:08] are you a padawan? :) [00:08] yes [00:08] I guess :P [01:13] HELP [01:17] stlsaint: how? [01:18] phillw, wrong channel? what are you taking about? :P [01:18] EpicCyndaquil: this is the support channel :D [01:19] I know, I know, was messing with you :P [01:19] EpicCyndaquil: it's just that this one gets logged so people can search it, the offtopic area specifically does not get logged. [01:19] so should I go straight to install from unetbootin? [01:20] gotcha, fair enough [01:20] use the 'iso' button and tell unetbootin where the iso is [01:21] I deem this motherboard buggy [01:21] no, I was in unetbootin on the USB on the computer :P [01:21] I PRESS ENTER AND IT DOES NOTHING [01:21] FFFFFFFUUUUUUU [01:22] EpicCyndaquil: Do you remember me saying RTFM? http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [01:22] phillw: im sure i can figure this out on my own but i want to get it from the experts...whats the best way to get fluxbox up and running on lubuntu? [01:22] stlsaint: you'd to ask someone like bioterror or ask on the ml. [01:23] bioterror: HELP [01:23] phillw: again i have been using multisessions for some time [01:23] "these ISO files will not work as-is" [01:23] phillw: i figure it would be a good teaching lesson for our new members? [01:23] stlsaint: he's in bed, do not forget bioterror has been ill. [01:23] phillw: and i dont want to "hack" my way to getting it done :D [01:23] ooooohhhhhhh [01:24] I seriously blame this motherboard [01:24] GAH [01:24] something is wrong with this thing [01:24] sometimes things boot, sometimes they don't, keep in mind I try multiple times touching nothing but my power button [01:24] EpicCyndaquil: I'm running out of ideas, I'm not to sure what to suggest next :( [01:25] throw it against the wall? :D [01:25] did the cd self test as okay? [01:25] yes [01:25] try the alternate install option. [01:26] where? [01:26] the minimal you mean? and is that a different ISO? [01:26] when the cd boots up, it is listed as alternate / text based installtion in the menu where you see the self test option. [01:27] I don't see that O_o [01:27] EpicCyndaquil: what version did you download? [01:27] let me try the install one more time [01:27] the torrent [01:27] 10.10 torrent [01:27] 10.10 or 10.04 ? [01:27] 10.10 has alternate on it. [01:28] maybe I'm going blind from being sick of this -_- [01:28] it's not lubuntu's fault, it's the computer [01:28] EpicCyndaquil: sleep is always a good healer of frustration :) [01:28] very true [01:28] this might be the last time I work with a used mobo [01:28] they always give me nothing but trouble [01:31] hi. is there a way to mount an image in wine so it is recognized by game in wine? [01:31] got a bunch of buffer I/O, squashfs, and phy0 errors [01:32] regardless, it still seems to be starting [01:32] hblount: I have no idea, but http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=313 is the wine section of the main forum area, I'd suggest asking there. [01:33] phillw: ok thanks [01:33] "failed to run /usr/bin/ubiquity as user root" when I go to install... [01:35] now it seems like my dvd drive has given up on lubuntu [01:35] perhaps it's time for me to do the same for now [01:35] WAIT IT'S WORKING xD [01:35] EpicCyndaquil: I'd suggest cleaning the cd drive lens. The burn and read leds are different, "If you can get hold of one - Clean the CD drive with a CD-Drive cleansing CD, burning an ISO CD requires far greater precision than burning, say, a music CD. ( just type in cd lens cleaner into your favourite search engine, they can be bought for about 3 USD / 1 GBP)" [01:36] I know that's not the issue, it's the computer reading it [01:36] and the optical drive reading it is nearly new [01:37] good suggestion, but I'm 110% sure that's not the issue [01:52] Installer crashed ;_; [01:54] phillw: I tried that wired network configuration, but there was no difference :/. I'm outrageously stumped on this, I don't know why I'm struggling so hard. I'll make a forum post and make it outrageously specific. [01:54] phillw: and if i get it to work maybe i'll make a wiki specific for setting up my broadcom bcmxx on Lubuntu without any internet connection. [01:55] I think lubuntu installed but failed to set up the bootloader, can I check this, and if so, how do you suggest a fix? [01:55] mbergamo: I'm stumped, I had no problems with broadcom in lubuntu; it simply showed up in hardware drivers :( [01:56] EpicCyndaquil: without internet connection, no. with internet connection yes :) [01:57] phillw, wired ethernet? [01:57] if so, time to move to the next room ;P [02:37] phillw: when i click on additional drivers it gives a prompt, "Downloading package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be available." And then it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system". [02:40] mbergamo: pass. :( [02:40] phillw: bah! === MonthOLDpickle1 is now known as MonthOLDpickle [06:42] damn [06:42] I figured out how to start programs without decorations [06:42] I wonder who asked it [10:08] bioterror, you found me on ubuntuforums :D [10:08] Goodgame, did you like my posting? [10:09] bioterror, I don't undestand when you explain how to launch them but I think I've understood the part for the position (not tried yet, just woken up, will try this afternoon) [10:09] you make yourself a file [10:09] application.desktop [10:09] and put that kind of information there [10:09] it's an example file of my conky.desktop [10:10] which launches conky on my desktop [10:10] can you explain me each line please? [10:10] we can write whatever we want in "comment" don't we? [10:11] yes [10:11] exec is the same as we enter in A-F2 ? [10:11] yes [10:12] What does the 4 lasts lines mean? [10:12] just random stuff for the lxde menu ;) [10:12] so, all the time terminal=false? [10:12] yes [10:12] (except maybe when I wanna launch the terminal :-°) [10:13] it means you dont want to launch that in terminal [10:13] yes [10:13] everytime type=application? [10:13] something like that [10:13] "something like that"? [10:15] what does it mean? [10:15] yeah [10:15] put application in there [10:15] :-° [10:15] and what is categories? [10:16] leave blank, as I said it's for the lxde menu [10:16] you're not going to put it in there [10:16] and I just copy the last line everytime? [10:17] what+ [10:17] Categories= [10:17] OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;LXDE; [10:17] sorry [10:17] OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;LXDE; [10:18] yeah [10:19] ok thanks a lot [10:19] gotta go [10:19] gonna try later [10:19] bye [14:21] bioterror, in your answer you explain how I can explain where I want my windows, but not how to specify their sizes. is there a way, [14:22] oh [14:22] you're so demanding [14:22] :D [14:23] their's no interet to put windows in specific places if they don't have the right size (they could cross each other) [14:26] nope, that's not supported in openbox, I think [14:27] weird [14:27] thanks a lot [14:27] well [14:27] yeah [14:31] bioterror, I've got a last question, when I configure my autostart, can I chose on which desktop the apps open? [15:00] hello [15:00] how do a get a command prompt again [15:01] Alt F2? [15:01] nothing [15:02] Do you have the LX panel? [15:02] ? [15:02] Are you using LXDE? [15:02] i thinkso [15:02] all i have is run and logout [15:02] Is there a bar at the bottom with things on? [15:03] yes [15:03] with a swallow like icon on the toolbar [15:03] Is there something on the far left that looks like a bird? [15:03] yes [15:03] Click on it. Do you see an option called Run? [15:03] yes [15:03] Click on that [15:04] i did and nothing happened [15:04] Weird [15:04] Have you uninstalled anything lately? [15:04] all that happened was the toolbar dissapeared and thats it [15:04] nothing [15:04] Okay [15:04] this is the alternate text install [15:04] Ah [15:05] You should install gmrun [15:05] how do i do that [15:05] Go to Synaptic [15:05] i dont even have that option [15:05] Can you run a terminal? [15:06] no [15:06] Then you're screwed [15:06] it seems like whoever made the alternate version [15:06] has messed up [15:06] Yes it does [15:07] not very helpful [15:07] What have you got in the Accessories menu [15:07] ive gone to menu:://applications/ and theres nothing [15:08] is this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp the only lubuntu documentation?

[15:09] no [15:09] all there is run and logout [15:09] I'd reinstall [15:09] Do you have an icon anywhere to open the file manager? [15:10] yes [15:10] Okay. Open it [15:11] strange [15:11] In the sidebar is there an Applications option? [15:11] its not even doing anything [15:11] How are you talking to me?
