| Bookman | Any ideas why my installation of Lubuntu will not boot anymore? I type in my username, password and the screen goes white for a few seconds, then back to the login screen. it happens no matter what desktop environment I try. | 04:46 |
| Bookman | Ok, I'll try again tomorrow night (day two) | 04:51 |

| ChrisDruif | edified: Nothing much atm :) | 11:24 |
| edified | ChrisDruif lol you're in both channels, thats whats up. Whats atm btw> | 11:25 |
| ChrisDruif | At the moment :) | 11:25 |
| ChrisDruif | Not automated teller machine ;) | 11:25 |
| edified | i see | 11:28 |
| edified | so what do ppl usually do in IRC n e ways. I hardly ever use it | 11:28 |
| ChrisDruif | Different channels do different things with IRC :) | 11:29 |
| ChrisDruif | Ubuntu got a support channel (#ubuntu ;)) a beginners area (#ubuntu-beginners) a team which supports the beginners (#ubuntu-beginners-team <- this channel is an offtopic channel, everything can be discussed here) | 11:30 |
| edified | I see | 11:30 |
| edified | Well I know a good deal about linux so I'm good ... I just find the internet to bore me now adays | 11:31 |
| edified | *sigh* | 11:31 |
| ChrisDruif | Lubuntu Has a few less channels, but there are mentors/people in ubt that know about Lubuntu aswell....like phill :) | 11:31 |
| edified | In the end its pretty much the same system, just a bit less brolic | 11:33 |
| ChrisDruif | Indeed :) | 11:33 |
| ChrisDruif | It's an area to chat with people...the topic what the chat is about is just different per channel :) | 11:34 |
| edified | I see. What channels do you frequent most (any good ones I should know about?) | 11:35 |
| ChrisDruif | If you think you know quite a deal about Linux, you might be interested in joining #ubuntu-beginners-team and eventually decide to even become a mentor yourself :) | 11:35 |
| ChrisDruif | I regularly come on #ubuntu, #ubuntu-beginners, #ubuntu-beginners-team, #lubuntu and #lubuntu-offtopic :) | 11:36 |
| ChrisDruif | #ubuntu is one of the most active... | 11:37 |
| ChrisDruif | Another you might like it #elementary (from the Elementary OS project) | 11:37 |
| edified | Thanks for all of the suggestions. Def makes my IRC experience better when ppl are super nice | 11:38 |
| ChrisDruif | I'm also on #ubuntu-speechcontrol and -devs becaused I joined that team... | 11:38 |
| edified | Are you a programmer or in a related field? | 11:38 |
| ChrisDruif | Even before I signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct I was nice :P | 11:38 |
| edified | lol | 11:39 |
| ChrisDruif | I think it's an important next step in usability/accessibility (who would like a Star Trek/Star Wars system :P) | 11:39 |
| ChrisDruif | And I know a bit of programming, but to program natively for Ubuntu is a bit different (I've got some Java experience) | 11:40 |
| ChrisDruif | I also like to sometimes edit a wiki-page :) | 11:40 |
| ChrisDruif | I've edited two yesterday :) | 11:40 |
| edified | Very nice | 11:40 |
| edified | I should do stuff like that ... im sure ill get smarter if I do | 11:41 |
| edified | What do you want to do as a career? | 11:41 |
| ChrisDruif | What, wiki stuff? | 11:41 |
| edified | Yea, writing wiki/s is sure to make me hella smart | 11:41 |
| ChrisDruif | Wiki pages of people I ment :) | 11:41 |
| edified | Ah Lol ( i guess that counts as being pop-culture smart) | 11:42 |
| ChrisDruif | I guess O:-) | 11:42 |
| edified | But yea ... are you interested in a Career in something Techy? | 11:43 |
| ChrisDruif | Yeah (was about to answer it, got distracted by the telly :P)...my dream would be to work at Canonical or something like that :) | 11:44 |
| ChrisDruif | Working in Open Source....would be very awesome :) | 11:44 |
| ChrisDruif | Or if I learn enough, maybe work in education...and work in my spare time with/for Open Source :) | 11:45 |
| ChrisDruif | And you edified? | 11:45 |
| edified | ChrisDruif I used to want to be a lawyer. Then I worked for one. It was the worst year of my life. Ive always been drawn to computers and technology.. I want to learn programming and things of the sort, but I don't know where to start (i feel like im so behind) | 11:46 |
| ChrisDruif | Your story got some similarities with mine :P | 11:47 |
| edified | You used to want to do something like being a scum-bag lawyer? | 11:47 |
| ChrisDruif | I've worked through high school and college to become a car mechanic....but eventually noticed it wasn't for me, that kind of job :) | 11:48 |
| edified | I feel you. I feel like life after college is horrible ... | 11:48 |
| ChrisDruif | So now at uni I'm learning for programming :) | 11:48 |
| edified | My student loan bills are killing me and I can hardly pay them ... and time is going so quickly | 11:49 |
| ChrisDruif | If you don't mind me asking, but how old are you? | 11:49 |
| edified | 21 | 11:50 |
| edified | and you? | 11:50 |
| ChrisDruif | Alright...23 :) | 11:50 |
| edified | What do you do in the meantime to earn $$$ | 11:50 |
| ChrisDruif | I work after school at a distribution center... | 11:51 |
| edified | whats that? | 11:52 |
| ChrisDruif | But I'm looking for a weekend job..(reminding me to update my resume) | 11:52 |
| edified | cant be worse than my current job at a call center ... I want to shoot myself in the face while im there ... :| | 11:52 |
| ChrisDruif | Distribution center....it's like a really big storehouse and distributes it's contents to all the stores around the country :) | 11:53 |
| edified | Ah I see. I used to work at a similar job at a warehouse in the receiving department. I would rather that than a call center | 11:54 |
| ChrisDruif | Do you have to call people to sell stuff no-one is interested in? | 11:55 |
| edified | We call ppl to take surveys | 11:56 |
| edified | no selling involved | 11:56 |
| edified | If I had to sell useless crap over the phone I would hate life | 11:56 |
| edified | ... ehh whatever can get me $$ in the meanwhile I guess | 11:57 |
| edified | I live in NYC | 11:57 |
| edified | and its super expensive to live here ... | 11:57 |
| ChrisDruif | I can only think about how expensive it must be :-/ | 11:58 |
| ChrisDruif | I don't live in a big city in Holland....pretty good location btw, but still €310,- | 11:59 |
| ChrisDruif | And that's cheap :P | 11:59 |
| ChrisDruif | If I wanted to live in the middle of The Hague (one of the big 4 in Holland) I'll easily pay €800~1000,- | 12:00 |
| edified | id stick w/ the 310 lol | 12:01 |
| ChrisDruif | :P | 12:01 |
| edified | I pay $400 for the tiniest room you can imagine | 12:01 |
| edified | I fit my bed, a dresser ... and thats a bout it | 12:01 |
| edified | At least we have a huge living room that i always hang out in | 12:02 |
| ChrisDruif | I've got ~40 m2 and 2 rooms and separate bathroom ofc :P | 12:02 |
| ChrisDruif | And it's all mine :P (As long as I pay the rent ofc O:-)) | 12:02 |
| edified | wow | 12:03 |
| edified | i should move to holland lol | 12:03 |
| edified | that sounds great | 12:03 |
| ChrisDruif | Well...this apartment is this cheap because of a special arrangement made about 30 years ago :) You can only apply till you 23 and don't have too much income :) | 12:04 |
| Goodgame | salut | 12:04 |
| ChrisDruif | Hi Goodgame :) | 12:05 |
| edified | what up Goodgame | 12:06 |
| ChrisDruif | So I was lucky, I got it about a month before I became 23 :P | 12:06 |
| edified | Wow congrats | 12:07 |
| ChrisDruif | So I'm in about a half year :) | 12:08 |
| ChrisDruif | Rent is paid mostly with college fund and rent subsidy and the rest (water, gas, electric, food) is paid with the dc job :) | 12:10 |
| edified | I see. What are you majoring in right now? | 12:10 |
| ChrisDruif | Bacheloring ;) (You don't have HBO...but that's also called uni around the world) and it's Information Technology....(becoming a software designer) | 12:12 |
| edified | Ah I see ... maybe thats what I should do, switch my major (and go back to school) | 12:13 |
| ChrisDruif | That's one option ofc :) | 12:13 |
| edified | well imma peace out | 12:17 |
| edified | but it was nice talking to you | 12:17 |
| ChrisDruif | Maybe you could learn it "in job"...getting a job you do like and work your way up or something? | 12:17 |
| edified | mind if I add you to my friends list? | 12:17 |
| ChrisDruif | What friend list? :) | 12:18 |
| edified | if I right click on your name it lets me add you to my IRC friends list | 12:18 |
| ChrisDruif | If you want, I'm fine with it :) | 12:18 |
| edified | Cool, just added you | 12:19 |
| edified | i guess Ill see you around | 12:19 |
| edified | take care | 12:19 |
| ChrisDruif | Alright...it didn't hurt one bit :P | 12:19 |
| ChrisDruif | Alright...ttyl :) | 12:19 |
| ChrisDruif | I'm off y'all....got things to do, placed to see, people to meet :P | 12:20 |

| Krasus | yea ubuntu this channel is alive ;p | 18:03 |
| ano | hi all | 18:12 |
| Krasus | hi | 18:12 |
| ano | just installed lubuntu on acer aspire one happy | 18:12 |
| ano | well, tried | 18:13 |
| ano | it's bricked | 18:13 |
| ano | got to reboot | 18:13 |
| ano | and hung | 18:13 |
| ano | bios won't even come up | 18:13 |
| ano | any advice or is it surgery time? | 18:13 |
| ChrisDruif | If even bios doesn't show? | 18:14 |
| ano | yea | 18:14 |
| ano | bios won't even show | 18:14 |
| ano | odd huh? | 18:15 |
| ano | 1 blip on hd | 18:15 |
| ano | then nothing | 18:15 |
| ano | screen stays off | 18:15 |
| ano | is the drive get-at-able? | 18:16 |
| ano | i could reformat it if it's a grub issue | 18:16 |
| ChrisDruif | Yeah, or remake grub even....but it isn't a grub issue I guess... | 18:17 |
| ChrisDruif | I think you need to flash the bios... | 18:18 |
| ano | how? | 18:18 |
| ChrisDruif | Go to the Acer website and download the bios flash to your usb... | 18:19 |
| ano | hmm... the usb still has lubuntu on it & it won't boot that - so how would it help? | 18:20 |
| ChrisDruif | It'll also tell you how to do it on the site :) | 18:20 |
| ChrisDruif | It doesn't boot lubuntu, because it first needs to get past the bios :) | 18:21 |
| ano | brb (off to acer site) | 18:21 |
| ChrisDruif | (In the bios you can also set from which device to boot first? ;)) | 18:21 |
| ano | yea - it was set to usb | 18:22 |
| ano | which means it's quite unhappy since it won't boot of that anymore | 18:22 |
| ano | can't find the bios | 18:26 |
| ano | people seem to be recommending to tap the fan 3 times | 18:26 |
| ano | (it was on overnight fetching lubuntu) | 18:26 |
| ChrisDruif | How do you mean tap the fan 3 times? Then a genie appears which lets you continue booting or get into the bios? | 18:29 |
| kristian-aalborg | yo | 18:33 |
| ChrisDruif | Hai kristian-aalborg :) | 18:43 |
| kristian-aalborg | oh hai | 19:05 |
| ChrisDruif | :P | 19:24 |
| kristian-aalborg | how long should I wait before an installation is officially stalled? :( | 19:30 |
| ChrisDruif | How do you mean? Is your installation hanging? | 19:30 |
| kristian-aalborg | yes, at the last stage it seems... the "Getting Help" screen | 19:33 |
| kristian-aalborg | usb pen is still blinking, so it might just be working | 19:33 |
| ChrisDruif | Getting Help?....Let me loop it up... | 19:35 |
| Kurdistan | kristian-aalborg you can not install from usb-pen or some part hanging during installation? | 19:37 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi Kurdistan | 19:39 |
| kristian-aalborg | it seems to hang at the last screen | 19:40 |
| Kurdistan | hey | 19:40 |
| Kurdistan | okey thats not normal. I have never had any problem installing from usb pen. | 19:40 |
| Kurdistan | have you bug-searched in google? | 19:40 |
| kristian-aalborg | a bit... my first thought is that it's lack of space... I have only 2G | 19:41 |
| Kurdistan | have you tried other usb pen (more space, 4 gb)? | 19:42 |
| Kurdistan | or make cd burn in low speed. | 19:43 |
| Kurdistan | not fast like usb pen, but cd almonst never fails on people. | 19:43 |
| kristian-aalborg | this is not from a cd, but from an usb pen... | 19:43 |
| kristian-aalborg | I have no cd drive | 19:43 |
| Kurdistan | I see. you have old computer? | 19:44 |
| kristian-aalborg | ah, I'll go shopping a bit and eat... I'll give it some more time before I cry wolf | 19:44 |
| kristian-aalborg | not really that old, but super modest... it's an Eee 2g surf | 19:44 |
| kristian-aalborg | a horrid machine, actually ;) | 19:44 |
| Kurdistan | if you want ubuntu based distro, take look at madbox based on openbox. | 19:44 |
| Kurdistan | light and fast. | 19:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | so's lxde | 19:46 |
| Kurdistan | yes it is. | 19:46 |
| Kurdistan | have you tried a netbook distro? | 19:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | yes, they seem too heavy, ironically | 19:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | and too much like something that's made for kids :) | 19:47 |
| kristian-aalborg | this is interesting... I get an error now about broken packages, but none are listed | 19:47 |
| Kurdistan | kristian-aalborg when you update or during the installation? | 19:49 |
| kristian-aalborg | during installation | 19:50 |
| kristian-aalborg | it says the image is old... it's not (10.10) and should be okay | 19:50 |
| kristian-aalborg | ok, I can reboot now... let's see :) | 19:51 |
| Kurdistan | http://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=Netbooks&origin=All&basedon=All¬basedon=None&desktop=All&architecture=All&status=Active | 19:51 |
| Kurdistan | hopefully it will turn out good | 19:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | yeah | 19:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'm going for something stable and user friendly | 19:52 |
| Kurdistan | normaly lubuntu is stable and user-friendly | 19:53 |
| kristian-aalborg | I get a bunch of errors about lack of space | 19:55 |
| Kurdistan | maybe thats the problem | 19:56 |
| kristian-aalborg | very likely... | 19:58 |
| kristian-aalborg | I ditched gnumeric, gave me 19 megs... let's see what happens | 20:01 |
| kristian-aalborg | I can boot into X well... trying to update stuff | 20:12 |

| kristian-aalborg | hi phillw | 20:54 |
| kristian-aalborg | lubuntu 10.10 did not fit in 2 gigs, but I think I managed to fix it | 20:54 |
| leszek | kristian-aalborg: it needs 2.5 GB I think | 21:02 |
| bioterror | 2GB :D | 21:02 |
| kristian_ | I'm pretty sure it asked for 2.8 - but it obviously only needs a bit more than 2 as I got it running regardles | 21:07 |
