[02:23] <Bookman> Is there a Linux flavour that boots extremely quickly on standard hardware into just a browser?
[02:26] <UndiFineD> Bookman, chrome os ?
[02:27] <Bookman> Yes, but not a standard Linux disto
[02:28] <Bookman> *distro
[02:29] <UndiFineD> well you could look  for an mirco linux distro, like Damn Small Linux
[02:30] <UndiFineD> but I am not sure on the browser
[02:30] <Bookman> Yeah, tried a few of those, still not quick enough.  This little netbook I bought my son for Christmas books so fast. Maybe 7 seconds or something
[02:32] <UndiFineD> Bookman, Ubuntu can do 15
[02:32] <Bookman> Not on my machines!
[02:32] <Bookman> Anyways, this is offtopic I suppose!
[02:32] <UndiFineD> yup
[02:33] <Bookman> Later UndiFineD
[02:51] <mcgee42> Hello world\
[03:06] <Bookman> Would any conversation here be better than no conversation here?  Even if offtopic?
[03:17] <Bookman> AndrewMC, no conversation is better than offtopic conversation?
[03:18] <AndrewMC> Bookman: off topic to #lubuntu-offtopic please
[03:18] <Bookman> AndrewMC, got you!
[04:15] <sagaci> hi #lubuntu
[04:16] <bioterror> hi
[05:02] <sagaci> any suggestions for a dropdown terminal in lxde
[05:03] <sagaci> nvm, guake doesn't need gnome deps
[05:05] <sagaci> i don't know whether it's a bug but it's quite annoying when you right click and the top option is already highlighted
[05:10] <bioterror> what?
[05:10] <bioterror> I use urxvt and it fills my needs
[11:58] <IAmNotThatGuy> wb IdleOne =]
[15:21] <Alex-Zion> hi everyone , I have a problem to be machine boot up a live Lubuntu 10.10, the machine where I'm trying is an old P3 with 192 mb of ram ....
[15:22] <Alex-Zion> there is some special options to pass to the kernel , in order to get a kind of basic  system boot !?!
[15:23] <Alex-Zion> anytimeI tried , the system freeze at "Generating locales ...  it_IT.UTF-8..."
[15:24] <Alex-Zion> after that not even the cd get used anymore ....
[15:27] <Yorvyk> Alex-Zion, what graphics card do you have?
[15:28] <Alex-Zion> is an integrated one ....,the machine where I'm trying is an Acer veriton FP2....,a quite strange machine
[15:36] <Alex-Zion> Yorvyk:  is thisone http://ixbtlabs.com/articles/acerveritonfp2/  , any idea !?!
[15:39] <Yorvyk> Alex-Zion, Probably not enough RAM due to the on-board video
[15:43] <Yorvyk> I have had some success by adding 'i915.modeset=1'  to the boot line
[15:45] <Yorvyk> or 'i915.modeset=0'
[15:47] <pip> Yorvyk; no joy here with upgrade.  It bombs out after a problem with python2.7 minimal.
[15:48] <Yorvyk> pip, You should have upgraded yesterday, they are upgrading Python, as you’ve found, and warned of problems.
[15:49] <pip> from what I can gather it's a waiting game .........:-(
[15:49] <Yorvyk> or good luck with diving in at just the right time :)
[15:50] <pip> lol.  I suppose a mini.iso install will be pointless also, as it'll hit the same issue, yes?
[15:53] <Yorvyk> pip, not necessarily as you aren’t doing an upgrade, it’s clean install
[15:54] <AlexZion> Yorvyk: I tried with "i915.modeset=1" andI got a restart, noe I'm trying with "i915.modeset=0" but seemsthe same as before ...
[15:54] <Yorvyk> AlexZion,  OK
[15:54] <pip> well okay.........
[15:56] <Yorvyk> pip, it can’t be any worse going the minimal install root if you really want Natty Alpha
[15:56] <pip> shame I can't get any natty related discs to run on this machine
[15:56] <pip> which I find really weird
[15:57] <Yorvyk> pip, it what way will they not run
[15:58] <pip> they take me to the options list & whatevr I choose then to a black screen with an underscore type cursor which doesn't react to anything
[15:59] <pip> hard shutdown is the only way out
[16:01] <pip> oddly the full isos dont even give me that on 2 boxes at home.  Those boxes just boot as usual, ignoring the discs
[16:03] <Yorvyk> pip, the later two sound like the boot order in BIOS
[16:04] <pip> haha, I checked that really early on hoping it was that simple...
[16:04] <pip> I've been proper baffled for a week now :)
[16:05] <pip> I thought I'd found a way out with the mini.iso as I managed an install on one of the home boxes a couple of days ago
[16:05] <pip> it's just this machine, & yet it boots everything else I throw at it
[16:06] <pip> this is the main reason for upgrading as I do prefer a clean install
[16:08] <pip> I did notice that using k3b to burn full isos it seemed to be finding less data than I'd downloaded
[16:23] <pip> I'm gonna try again.......
[16:23] <bioterror> that poor pip guy has lost of burning issues
[16:23] <bioterror> it really cant be that hard
[16:24] <bioterror> lots
[18:46] <mikedep333> hey
[18:46] <mikedep333> I thought I'd report a bug on lubuntu.net
[18:47] <mikedep333> "get lubuntu" links to 10.10 maverick
[18:47] <mikedep333> but "release notes" links to those for lucid lynx (10.04)
[18:48] <stlsaint> mikedep333: they may have not just updated that part of the page yet
[18:48] <mikedep333> stlsaint, lubuntu 10.10 was released back in october
[18:48] <mikedep333> stlsaint, I'm pretty sure they've left that part not updated for 2 months now
[18:49] <mikedep333> also, the 10.10 release notes are very important as they list the no longer supported CPUs
[18:49] <mikedep333> I wonder if the lack of K6 support includes the K6-2
[18:58] <Yorvyk> mikedep333, the release notes are for the 10.04 beta which is even worse :(
[18:58] <mikedep333> Yorvyk, good catch
[18:58] <mikedep333> Yorvyk, are you a lubuntu dev? who can we report this to?
[18:58] <mikedep333> I looked on the website for a webmaster contact link or something.
[18:59] <Yorvyk> mikedep333, I’ll put a note on the mailing list and hope the appropriate people see it.
[18:59] <mikedep333> Yorvyk, great
[19:01] <mikedep333> I would really like to help this project over the next month as I graduate from college in a week, but my last attempts to program in C didn't go well. I'm much better at java and scripting.
[19:12] <Jorvyk> mikedep333, you don’t have to program to help
[19:12] <mikedep333> true
[19:13] <mikedep333> atlhough last time I tried to report a bug (if you isntall 10.10 from mini or alternate cd, add the ppa, update, and install lubuntu-desktop, it won't let you use gksudo), the develoepr wouldn't believe me
[19:14] <mikedep333> *the developer in this channel
[19:14] <Jorvyk> don’t know why not as it is listed as a problem in the wiki
[19:15] <Jorvyk> as I’ve have the same problem
[19:15] <mikedep333> lol
[19:15] <mikedep333> that was 2 months ago
[19:15] <mikedep333> link?
[19:16] <mikedep333> oh, wow
[19:16] <mikedep333> maybe that guy did confirm it
[19:16] <mikedep333> so me reporting the bug informally on this channel did accomplish something ;)
[19:17] <Jorvyk> Probably
[19:17] <Jorvyk> BTW the AMD k5-2 won’t work with 10.10
[19:18] <mikedep333> Jorvyk, the non-profit I work for has a K6-2
[19:18] <mikedep333> *volunteer for
[19:18] <mikedep333> that's what I was referring to
[19:19] <mikedep333> ok
[19:19] <mikedep333> google is my friend
[19:19] <Jorvyk> !0.04 is OK and it is hoped that we can keep it updated so at least the LXDE parts are the latest
[19:19] <mikedep333> the k6-2 is considered i586, so it's not supported
[19:19] <mikedep333> Jorvyk, how do you contribute to lubuntu?
[19:19] <mikedep333> yeah, I know
[19:20] <mikedep333> it's ok, the museum probably won't use that K6-2 system anyway
[19:20] <Jorvyk> I meant k6 not k5
[19:20] <mikedep333> it's being replaced by a ~50 mhz faster celeron :/
[19:21] <mikedep333> I hope 10.04 will continue to be a usable and compatible OS for aging computers with i586s
[19:21] <mikedep333> does 10.04 have the software center?
[19:21] <Jorvyk> I do testing and have started to do some parts of the bug triaging
[19:21] <mikedep333> lubuntu 10.04 that is
[19:22] <mikedep333> gotcha
[19:22] <mikedep333> you know
[19:22] <mikedep333> I think www.lubuntu.net needs to have a visible and user-friendly list of features/software that is installed by default
[19:22] <Jorvyk> no lubuntu doesn’t have the software centre as it is a bit of a resource hog
[19:24] <mikedep333> yeah, gotcha
[19:24] <mikedep333> appnr?
[19:24] <mikedep333> http://appnr.com/
[19:24] <mikedep333> I think that only works with firefox (which has the appropriate plugin)
[19:26] <mikedep333> btw
[19:26] <mikedep333> are there any good solutions to flash on old machines running Lubuntu?
[19:26] <mikedep333> minitube perhaps?
[19:27] <mikedep333> although a youtube update just broke compatiblity, so you have to use the minitube PPA with it's latest update
[19:27] <mikedep333> *its latest update
[20:08] <Yorvyk> hi
[20:08] <Jorvyk> hello
[23:14]  * nh2_ just installed lubuntu on his brand new eMachines-350 netbook and is happy with it
[23:15] <mark76> Goodo :)
[23:48] <reallyfrustrated> can anybody help me fix my screen resolution and mouse problems?
[23:50] <reallyfrustrated> guess not..
[23:52] <AndrewMC> !wait | reallyfrustrated
[23:53] <reallyfrustrated> ive been trying to correct my screen resolution for 6 days....is this all that lubuntu has to offer?
[23:53] <reallyfrustrated> my japanese language, bootlegged, buggy version of wondows is looking awesome..
