[02:34] <doughty> holla
[02:34] <doughty> <- lubuntu nub
[02:37] <doughty> anyone using an acer aspire one?
[08:50] <UBUxUBU> netsplit...
[17:43] <mysteriousdarren> why does my wireless disconnect after a few hours in lubuntu 10.10?
[22:29] <hblount> hi. what is the simplest/lightest software for sound settings?
[23:08] <Listener> So, I have this problem with some progs starting up.
[23:09] <Listener> For example, Synaptic opens the initial dialog window and pins the cpu
[23:10] <Listener> The dialog window is blank white.
[23:11] <Listener> with a blue border and header, but no text.
[23:12] <Listener> It can be closed, but that is all.
[23:14] <Listener> top reports that gsku is taking 100% cpu
[23:28] <Yorvyk> Hi Listener
[23:32] <Listener> Hi Yorvyk
[23:32] <Yorvyk> hblount, alsamixer
[23:33] <Yorvyk> Listener, is this a fresh install
[23:34] <Listener> no....
[23:34] <Listener> a fall over from gnome
[23:35] <Yorvyk> does it work OK in Gnome
[23:35] <Listener> sort of, but I just don;t like gnome
[23:36] <Yorvyk> I'm just try to see if Lubuntu caused the problem
[23:37] <Listener> sorry, a bit grumpy as I know that the proper answer is a clean xubuntu install
[23:39] <Yorvyk> Listener, no it should work OK, I've installed Lubuntu after installing Gnome
[23:40] <Yorvyk> What happens if you open a terminal and type gksu synaptic
[23:42] <Listener> same thing
[23:43] <Yorvyk> OK, what about sudo synaptic
[23:44] <Listener> synaptic coemes up with errors
[23:44] <Listener> E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
[23:44] <Listener> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[23:45] <Listener> That could be from previous failed attempts to open synaptic
[23:45] <Yorvyk> Yep it could
[23:46] <Yorvyk> I hate to say this but try rebooting and then try sudo synaptic again
[23:47] <Listener> I'll do it right. Burning xubuntu cd now. Thanks.
[23:47] <Listener> In toher words, the BIG reboot.
[23:48] <Yorvyk> OK - it might actually be quicker than finding the fault
[23:48] <Listener> yep, ttfn
[23:48] <Yorvyk> Bye
[23:57] <hblount> Yorvyk, cool thanks!
[23:58] <hblount> hmm...which should i get, GNOME ALSA Mixer or Alsamixergui?
