=== IdleOne is now known as CIASquid [02:22] hello === CIASquid is now known as IdleOne [02:22] how do i install a theme in lubuntu? [02:23] i managed to install a window border that i manage with obconf...but how can i "Costumize Look and Feel"? [02:36] hmmm [02:37] didnt know you guys were here [02:37] anyone try n get lubuntu to run on an android device over hdmi out? [02:37] been working on that but i have to recompile the kernel n stuff [02:37] whole lot of headache [03:17] sure is lively in here [03:17] phew dont know if i can handle it === peregrinator_six is now known as Monarquista [04:46] 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. [04:51] Ok, I'll try again tomorrow night (day two) [11:15] what up channel === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett [11:24] edified: Nothing much atm :) [11:25] ChrisDruif lol you're in both channels, thats whats up. Whats atm btw> [11:25] At the moment :) [11:25] Not automated teller machine ;) [11:28] i see [11:28] so what do ppl usually do in IRC n e ways. I hardly ever use it [11:29] Different channels do different things with IRC :) [11:30] 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] I see [11:31] Well I know a good deal about linux so I'm good ... I just find the internet to bore me now adays [11:31] *sigh* [11:31] Lubuntu Has a few less channels, but there are mentors/people in ubt that know about Lubuntu aswell....like phill :) [11:33] In the end its pretty much the same system, just a bit less brolic [11:33] Indeed :) [11:34] It's an area to chat with people...the topic what the chat is about is just different per channel :) [11:35] I see. What channels do you frequent most (any good ones I should know about?) [11:35] 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 :) [11:36] I regularly come on #ubuntu, #ubuntu-beginners, #ubuntu-beginners-team, #lubuntu and #lubuntu-offtopic :) [11:37] #ubuntu is one of the most active... [11:37] Another you might like it #elementary (from the Elementary OS project) [11:38] Thanks for all of the suggestions. Def makes my IRC experience better when ppl are super nice [11:38] I'm also on #ubuntu-speechcontrol and -devs becaused I joined that team... [11:38] Are you a programmer or in a related field? [11:38] Even before I signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct I was nice :P [11:39] lol [11:39] I think it's an important next step in usability/accessibility (who would like a Star Trek/Star Wars system :P) [11:40] 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] I also like to sometimes edit a wiki-page :) [11:40] I've edited two yesterday :) [11:40] Very nice [11:41] I should do stuff like that ... im sure ill get smarter if I do [11:41] What do you want to do as a career? [11:41] What, wiki stuff? [11:41] Yea, writing wiki/s is sure to make me hella smart [11:41] Wiki pages of people I ment :) [11:42] Ah Lol ( i guess that counts as being pop-culture smart) [11:42] I guess O:-) [11:43] But yea ... are you interested in a Career in something Techy? [11:44] 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] Working in Open Source....would be very awesome :) [11:45] Or if I learn enough, maybe work in education...and work in my spare time with/for Open Source :) [11:45] And you edified? [11:46] 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) [11:47] Your story got some similarities with mine :P [11:47] You used to want to do something like being a scum-bag lawyer? [11:48] 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] I feel you. I feel like life after college is horrible ... [11:48] So now at uni I'm learning for programming :) [11:49] My student loan bills are killing me and I can hardly pay them ... and time is going so quickly [11:49] If you don't mind me asking, but how old are you? [11:50] 21 [11:50] and you? [11:50] Alright...23 :) [11:50] What do you do in the meantime to earn $$$ [11:51] I work after school at a distribution center... [11:52] whats that? [11:52] But I'm looking for a weekend job..(reminding me to update my resume) [11:52] cant be worse than my current job at a call center ... I want to shoot myself in the face while im there ... :| [11:53] Distribution center....it's like a really big storehouse and distributes it's contents to all the stores around the country :) [11:54] Ah I see. I used to work at a similar job at a warehouse in the receiving department. I would rather that than a call center [11:55] Do you have to call people to sell stuff no-one is interested in? [11:56] We call ppl to take surveys [11:56] no selling involved [11:56] If I had to sell useless crap over the phone I would hate life [11:57] ... ehh whatever can get me $$ in the meanwhile I guess [11:57] I live in NYC [11:57] and its super expensive to live here ... [11:58] I can only think about how expensive it must be :-/ [11:59] I don't live in a big city in Holland....pretty good location btw, but still €310,- [11:59] And that's cheap :P [12:00] If I wanted to live in the middle of The Hague (one of the big 4 in Holland) I'll easily pay €800~1000,- [12:01] id stick w/ the 310 lol [12:01] :P [12:01] I pay $400 for the tiniest room you can imagine [12:01] I fit my bed, a dresser ... and thats a bout it [12:02] At least we have a huge living room that i always hang out in [12:02] I've got ~40 m2 and 2 rooms and separate bathroom ofc :P [12:02] And it's all mine :P (As long as I pay the rent ofc O:-)) [12:03] wow [12:03] i should move to holland lol [12:03] that sounds great [12:04] 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] salut [12:05] Hi Goodgame :) [12:06] what up Goodgame [12:06] So I was lucky, I got it about a month before I became 23 :P [12:07] Wow congrats [12:08] So I'm in about a half year :) [12:10] 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] I see. What are you majoring in right now? [12:12] Bacheloring ;) (You don't have HBO...but that's also called uni around the world) and it's Information Technology....(becoming a software designer) [12:13] Ah I see ... maybe thats what I should do, switch my major (and go back to school) [12:13] That's one option ofc :) [12:17] well imma peace out [12:17] but it was nice talking to you [12:17] Maybe you could learn it "in job"...getting a job you do like and work your way up or something? [12:17] mind if I add you to my friends list? [12:18] What friend list? :) [12:18] if I right click on your name it lets me add you to my IRC friends list [12:18] If you want, I'm fine with it :) [12:19] Cool, just added you [12:19] i guess Ill see you around [12:19] take care [12:19] Alright...it didn't hurt one bit :P [12:19] Alright...ttyl :) [12:20] I'm off y'all....got things to do, placed to see, people to meet :P [12:57] good afternoon everyone :) [12:57] hi phillw [13:07] van itt valaki aki magyar ?

[13:23] nothing [13:24] i now install Lubuntu 10.10 [13:24] i try Lubuntu [13:24] :) === phillw1 is now known as phillw === phillw is now known as Guest86557 === Guest86557 is now known as phillw === phillw is now known as Guest33396 === kosaidpo_ is now known as fake_phillw === fake_phillw is now known as kosaidpo === kosaidpo is now known as Guest21418 === Guest21418 is now known as kosaipdo_ [17:04] is this channel alive? === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as M0hi [18:03] yea ubuntu this channel is alive ;p [18:12] hi all [18:12] hi [18:12] just installed lubuntu on acer aspire one happy [18:13] well, tried [18:13] it's bricked [18:13] got to reboot [18:13] and hung [18:13] bios won't even come up [18:13] any advice or is it surgery time? [18:14] If even bios doesn't show? [18:14] yea [18:14] bios won't even show [18:15] odd huh? [18:15] 1 blip on hd [18:15] then nothing [18:15] screen stays off [18:16] is the drive get-at-able? [18:16] i could reformat it if it's a grub issue [18:17] Yeah, or remake grub even....but it isn't a grub issue I guess... [18:18] I think you need to flash the bios... [18:18] how? [18:19] Go to the Acer website and download the bios flash to your usb... [18:20] hmm... the usb still has lubuntu on it & it won't boot that - so how would it help? [18:20] It'll also tell you how to do it on the site :) [18:21] It doesn't boot lubuntu, because it first needs to get past the bios :) [18:21] brb (off to acer site) [18:21] (In the bios you can also set from which device to boot first? ;)) [18:22] yea - it was set to usb [18:22] which means it's quite unhappy since it won't boot of that anymore [18:26] can't find the bios [18:26] people seem to be recommending to tap the fan 3 times [18:26] (it was on overnight fetching lubuntu) [18:29] How do you mean tap the fan 3 times? Then a genie appears which lets you continue booting or get into the bios? [18:33] yo [18:43] Hai kristian-aalborg :) [19:05] oh hai [19:24] :P [19:30] how long should I wait before an installation is officially stalled? :( [19:30] How do you mean? Is your installation hanging? [19:33] yes, at the last stage it seems... the "Getting Help" screen [19:33] usb pen is still blinking, so it might just be working [19:35] Getting Help?....Let me loop it up... [19:37] kristian-aalborg you can not install from usb-pen or some part hanging during installation? [19:39] hi Kurdistan [19:40] it seems to hang at the last screen [19:40] hey [19:40] okey thats not normal. I have never had any problem installing from usb pen. [19:40] have you bug-searched in google? [19:41] a bit... my first thought is that it's lack of space... I have only 2G [19:42] have you tried other usb pen (more space, 4 gb)? [19:43] or make cd burn in low speed. [19:43] not fast like usb pen, but cd almonst never fails on people. [19:43] this is not from a cd, but from an usb pen... [19:43] I have no cd drive [19:44] I see. you have old computer? [19:44] ah, I'll go shopping a bit and eat... I'll give it some more time before I cry wolf [19:44] not really that old, but super modest... it's an Eee 2g surf [19:44] a horrid machine, actually ;) [19:44] if you want ubuntu based distro, take look at madbox based on openbox. [19:45] light and fast. [19:46] so's lxde [19:46] yes it is. [19:46] have you tried a netbook distro? [19:46] yes, they seem too heavy, ironically [19:47] and too much like something that's made for kids :) [19:47] this is interesting... I get an error now about broken packages, but none are listed [19:49] kristian-aalborg when you update or during the installation? [19:50] during installation [19:50] it says the image is old... it's not (10.10) and should be okay [19:51] ok, I can reboot now... let's see :) [19:51] http://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=Netbooks&origin=All&basedon=All¬basedon=None&desktop=All&architecture=All&status=Active [19:52] hopefully it will turn out good [19:52] yeah [19:52] I'm going for something stable and user friendly [19:53] normaly lubuntu is stable and user-friendly [19:55] I get a bunch of errors about lack of space [19:56] maybe thats the problem [19:58] very likely... [20:01] I ditched gnumeric, gave me 19 megs... let's see what happens [20:12] I can boot into X well... trying to update stuff [20:21] hi [20:21] Hai leszek_ :) === leszek_ is now known as leszek === AndrewMC` is now known as AndrewMC === Timo_testing is now known as Timo_ [20:54] hi phillw [20:54] lubuntu 10.10 did not fit in 2 gigs, but I think I managed to fix it [21:02] kristian-aalborg: it needs 2.5 GB I think [21:02] 2GB :D [21:07] 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] s === szczur_ is now known as szczur [23:05] Good (UGT) night all [23:27] Yep
