[02:36] <AntiSociaL> hmmm
[02:37] <AntiSociaL> didnt know you guys were here
[02:37] <AntiSociaL> anyone try n get lubuntu to run on an android device over hdmi out?
[02:37] <AntiSociaL> been working on that but i have to recompile the kernel n stuff
[02:37] <AntiSociaL> whole lot of headache
[03:17] <AntiSociaL> sure is lively in here
[03:17] <AntiSociaL> phew dont know if i can handle it
[04:46] <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.
[04:51] <Bookman> Ok, I'll try again tomorrow night (day two)
[11:15] <edified> what up channel
[11:24] <ChrisDruif> edified: Nothing much atm :)
[11:25] <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 ;)
[11:28] <edified> i see
[11:28] <edified> so what do ppl usually do in IRC n e ways.  I hardly ever use it
[11:29] <ChrisDruif> Different channels do different things with IRC :)
[11:30] <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
[11:31] <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 :)
[11:33] <edified> In the end its pretty much the same system, just a bit less brolic
[11:33] <ChrisDruif> Indeed :)
[11:34] <ChrisDruif> It's an area to chat with people...the topic what the chat is about is just different per channel :)
[11:35] <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 :)
[11:36] <ChrisDruif> I regularly come on #ubuntu, #ubuntu-beginners, #ubuntu-beginners-team, #lubuntu and #lubuntu-offtopic :)
[11:37] <ChrisDruif> #ubuntu is one of the most active...
[11:37] <ChrisDruif> Another you might like it #elementary (from the Elementary OS project)
[11:38] <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
[11:39] <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)
[11:40] <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
[11:41] <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 :)
[11:42] <edified> Ah Lol ( i guess that counts as being pop-culture smart)
[11:42] <ChrisDruif> I guess O:-)
[11:43] <edified> But yea ... are you interested in a Career in something Techy?
[11:44] <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 :)
[11:45] <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?
[11:46] <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)
[11:47] <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?
[11:48] <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 :)
[11:49] <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?
[11:50] <edified> 21
[11:50] <edified> and you?
[11:50] <ChrisDruif> Alright...23 :)
[11:50] <edified> What do you do in the meantime to earn $$$
[11:51] <ChrisDruif> I work after school at a distribution center...
[11:52] <edified> whats that?
[11:52] <ChrisDruif> But I'm looking for a weekend job..(reminding me to update my resume)
[11:52] <edified> cant be worse than my current job at a call center ... I want to shoot myself in the face while im there ... :|
[11:53] <ChrisDruif> Distribution center....it's like a really big storehouse and distributes it's contents to all the stores around the country :)
[11:54] <edified> Ah I see.  I used to work at a similar job at a warehouse in the receiving department.  I would rather that than a call center
[11:55] <ChrisDruif> Do you have to call people to sell stuff no-one is interested in?
[11:56] <edified> We call ppl to take surveys
[11:56] <edified> no selling involved
[11:56] <edified> If I had to sell useless crap over the phone I would hate life
[11:57] <edified> ... ehh whatever can get me $$ in the meanwhile I guess
[11:57] <edified> I live in NYC
[11:57] <edified> and its super expensive to live here ...
[11:58] <ChrisDruif> I can only think about how expensive it must be :-/
[11:59] <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
[12:00] <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,-
[12:01] <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
[12:02] <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:-))
[12:03] <edified> wow
[12:03] <edified> i should move to holland lol
[12:03] <edified> that sounds great
[12:04] <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
[12:05] <ChrisDruif> Hi Goodgame :)
[12:06] <edified> what up Goodgame
[12:06] <ChrisDruif> So I was lucky, I got it about a month before I became 23 :P
[12:07] <edified> Wow congrats
[12:08] <ChrisDruif> So I'm in about a half year :)
[12:10] <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?
[12:12] <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)
[12:13] <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 :)
[12:17] <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?
[12:18] <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 :)
[12:19] <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 :)
[12:20] <ChrisDruif> I'm off y'all....got things to do, placed to see, people to meet :P
[12:57] <phillw> good afternoon everyone :)

[13:24] <xtc> i now install Lubuntu 10.10
[13:24] <xtc> i try Lubuntu
[13:24] <xtc> :)
[17:04] <ubuntu> is this channel alive?
[18:03] <Krasus> yea ubuntu this channel is alive ;p
[18:12] <ano> hi all
[18:12] <Krasus> hi
[18:12] <ano> just installed lubuntu on acer aspire one happy
[18:13] <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?
[18:14] <ChrisDruif> If even bios doesn't show?
[18:14] <ano> yea
[18:14] <ano> bios won't even show
[18:15] <ano> odd huh?
[18:15] <ano> 1 blip on hd
[18:15] <ano> then nothing
[18:15] <ano> screen stays off
[18:16] <ano> is the drive get-at-able?
[18:16] <ano> i could reformat it if it's a grub issue
[18:17] <ChrisDruif> Yeah, or remake grub even....but it isn't a grub issue I guess...
[18:18] <ChrisDruif> I think you need to flash the bios...
[18:18] <ano> how?
[18:19] <ChrisDruif> Go to the Acer website and download the bios flash to your usb...
[18:20] <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 :)
[18:21] <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? ;))
[18:22] <ano> yea - it was set to usb
[18:22] <ano> which means it's quite unhappy since it won't boot of that anymore
[18:26] <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)
[18:29] <ChrisDruif> How do you mean tap the fan 3 times? Then a genie appears which lets you continue booting or get into the bios?
[18:33] <kristian-aalborg> yo
[18:43] <ChrisDruif> Hai kristian-aalborg :)
[19:05] <kristian-aalborg> oh hai
[19:24] <ChrisDruif> :P
[19:30] <kristian-aalborg> how long should I wait before an installation is officially stalled? :(
[19:30] <ChrisDruif> How do you mean? Is your installation hanging?
[19:33] <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
[19:35] <ChrisDruif> Getting Help?....Let me loop it up...
[19:37] <Kurdistan> kristian-aalborg you can not install from usb-pen or some part hanging during installation?
[19:39] <kristian-aalborg> hi Kurdistan
[19:40] <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?
[19:41] <kristian-aalborg> a bit... my first thought is that it's lack of space... I have only 2G
[19:42] <Kurdistan> have you tried other usb pen (more space, 4 gb)?
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <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.
[19:45] <Kurdistan> light and fast.
[19:46] <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
[19:47] <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
[19:49] <Kurdistan> kristian-aalborg when you update or during the installation?
[19:50] <kristian-aalborg> during installation
[19:50] <kristian-aalborg> it says the image is old... it's not (10.10) and should be okay
[19:51] <kristian-aalborg> ok, I can reboot now... let's see :)
[19:51] <Kurdistan> http://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=Netbooks&origin=All&basedon=All&notbasedon=None&desktop=All&architecture=All&status=Active
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <Kurdistan> normaly lubuntu is stable and user-friendly
[19:55] <kristian-aalborg> I get a bunch of errors about lack of space
[19:56] <Kurdistan> maybe thats the problem
[19:58] <kristian-aalborg> very likely...
[20:01] <kristian-aalborg> I ditched gnumeric, gave me 19 megs... let's see what happens
[20:12] <kristian-aalborg> I can boot into X well... trying to update stuff
[20:21] <leszek_> hi
[20:21] <ChrisDruif> Hai leszek_ :)
[20:54] <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
[21:02] <leszek> kristian-aalborg: it needs 2.5 GB I think
[21:02] <bioterror> 2GB :D
[21:07] <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] <kristian_> s
[23:05] <ChrisDruif> Good (UGT) night all
[23:27] <mark76> Yep
