| maverick_ | hi i have something weird that keeps flashing when i start up. after i log in this program keeps flashing on and off really fast. when im able to catch it.. it says "username" in a small box | 01:41 |
|---|---|---|
| head_victim | Well either my lubuntu is broken or I have hardware failure. Continual rebooting just after it gets out of bios. | 06:40 |
| head_victim | It's ok, I found the problem. Memory test has 100k errors and counting | 06:47 |
| bioterror | :D | 06:48 |
| head_victim | It's all DDR ram, fingers crossed I only loose 1 stick as this stuff is expensive :/ | 06:52 |
| bioterror | :D | 06:52 |
| bioterror | I can tell you: RAM is almost free if it's not RDRAM or something else rare stuff | 06:52 |
| bioterror | but DDR is almost free | 06:52 |
| head_victim | bioterror: how so? The only source for it I have is ebay | 06:53 |
| tzanger | good morning... just trying out lubuntu but I'm having trouble finding where to configure the taskbar settings; the font used is *huge* | 12:53 |
| head_victim | tzanger: I'd tell you but my ram died this afternoon in my Lubuntu machine. It should be something like right clicking it and going into settings though. | 12:54 |
| tzanger | yeah I'm poking around... so far no dice | 12:55 |
| tzanger | same with assigning a shortcut to an application, in KDE it was the system menu where this was done | 12:56 |
| head_victim | What sort of shortcut | 12:57 |
| tzanger | well I typically assign alt-` to bringing up konsole | 12:57 |
| tzanger | oh | 12:57 |
| tzanger | it still works | 12:57 |
| tzanger | I wonder what happened, it wasn't working when I started the system | 12:57 |
| head_victim | So is this a fresh Lubuntu or lxde over another installation | 13:02 |
| tzanger | it's kubuntu with lubuntu-desktop installed and set as default | 13:12 |
| head_victim | Ah ok, I'm not exactly sure how Lubuntu handles shortcuts though | 13:12 |
| MrChrisDruif | Better Mkaysi? | 13:13 |
| Mkaysi | Yes MrChrisDruif | 13:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | :D | 13:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | I'll kick my other account... | 13:13 |
| Mkaysi | msg ChanServ ghost ? | 13:14 |
| tzanger | I see the font thing is done this way on purpose (auto-scaling) | 13:14 |
| tzanger | it's an option in a new version (not out yet) | 13:14 |
| MrChrisDruif | so /msg ChanServ ghost with my other account? | 13:15 |
| MrChrisDruif | Mkaysi: ^ | 13:51 |
| Mkaysi | ? | 13:51 |
| MrChrisDruif | Mkaysi: so /msg ChanServ ghost with my other account? To release the other name? | 13:52 |
| Mkaysi | MrChrisDruif: To kick your other account out of network /msg nickserv ghost ChrisDruif | 13:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright....need to switch a few more channels to the new name :P | 13:53 |

| tzanger | is there any magic involved in kopete's notifications animating its system tray entry/highlighting the taskbar item like with plasma? | 14:26 |
| tzanger | nothing animates, I see no notification of incoming messages | 14:26 |
| tzanger | kopete's still set to do what it always did, but nothing in the system tray animates | 14:27 |
| MrChrisDruif | You are using Lubuntu, right? | 14:32 |
| MrChrisDruif | tzanger: ^ | 14:32 |
| tzanger | MrChrisDruif: correct | 14:32 |
| MrChrisDruif | Just making sure, seeing Kopete is KDE's messenger... | 14:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | But you see no notification at all or just no animation? | 14:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | gtg, sorry tzanger :) | 14:36 |

| bioterror | probably livecd doesnt boot into desktop | 16:58 |
| bioterror | and doesnt accept any passwords | 16:58 |
| andy | I cannot log in from the splash screen anymore on my Lubuntu 10.04 installation | 16:58 |
| mark76 | Can you log into another desktop session? | 16:59 |
| andy | I insert username and pwd, a grey screen appears and then back to the splash screen | 16:59 |
| andy | no | 16:59 |
| andy | I tried all desktop session | 16:59 |
| andy | the failsafe command line startup still works | 17:00 |
| mark76 | Have you tried deleting .Xauthority from a tty? | 17:00 |
| andy | mmmm | 17:00 |
| andy | I would I do that? | 17:00 |
| mark76 | That's in the home directory | 17:01 |
| mark76 | Good question | 17:01 |
| mark76 | I don't know the command for delete | 17:01 |
| mark76 | Is is del? | 17:01 |
| andy | ok I'll have a look and come back to you | 17:01 |
| andy | I'll try from the command line | 17:01 |
| bioterror | rm is command | 17:02 |
| mark76 | That's the one :D | 17:02 |
| andy | rm -f | 17:02 |
| andy | no? | 17:02 |
| mark76 | Yeah | 17:03 |
| andy | :) | 17:03 |
| andy | ok I'll try now | 17:03 |
| mark76 | rm -f ~/.Xauthority | 17:03 |
| andy | I cancelled Xauthority but still unable to log in | 17:05 |
| mark76 | Weird | 17:06 |
| mark76 | Which DM are you using? | 17:06 |
| andy | sorry, what do you mean by DM? | 17:07 |
| andy | ah desktop manager, sure | 17:08 |
| andy | eheheh | 17:08 |
| mark76 | GDM?.. KDM?.. LXDM?.. | 17:08 |
| mark76 | SLiM?.. LightDM?.. | 17:08 |
| andy | LXDE | 17:08 |
| mark76 | Are you using LXDM? | 17:09 |
| andy | yes | 17:09 |
| mark76 | That's when you log in | 17:10 |
| andy | yes, it's LXDM, just made a quick search | 17:10 |
| mark76 | Hmm. I'm using that as well | 17:10 |
| mark76 | What session options do you have? | 17:11 |
| andy | Lubuntu, Lubuntu Netbook, Openbox, KDE/Openbox, GNOME/Openbox | 17:13 |
| mark76 | And the Openbox sessions don't work? | 17:13 |
| andy | no | 17:14 |
| andy | none of them | 17:14 |
| mark76 | Weird | 17:15 |
| === Freejack is now known as Guest53190 | ||
| mark76 | Try installing GDM and using that | 17:15 |
| andy | ok | 17:15 |
| andy | although the weird thing is that the installation has always worked flawlessly until today | 17:16 |
| mark76 | Well at least if you install GDM you can see if it's the session/desktop manager that's at fault | 17:16 |
| andy | ok | 17:17 |
| andy | any idea on how I could install it from command line? | 17:17 |
| mark76 | sudo apt-get install gdm | 17:18 |
| andy | ok I'll have to try with my LAN cable | 17:19 |
| mark76 | Okay | 17:19 |
| andy | can't do that now unfortunately | 17:19 |
| andy | one question | 17:19 |
| andy | I see there's a Xauthority in the /root folderm, too | 17:19 |
| andy | will it make a big difference to delete it? | 17:20 |
| mark76 | Might do | 17:21 |
| mark76 | Try it | 17:22 |
| andy | just tried, and deleted the new Xauthority in the home folder, too, but to no avail | 17:22 |
| bioterror | hmmmm | 17:23 |
| mark76 | Okay try deleting .xsessions | 17:24 |
| andy | oki will do | 17:24 |
| bioterror | hey | 17:24 |
| bioterror | before you continue installling removing anything | 17:24 |
| bioterror | would you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 17:25 |
| bioterror | if there's any errors | 17:25 |
| andy | oki | 17:25 |
| bioterror | !pastebin | andy | 17:25 |

| bioterror | or less | 17:26 |
| bioterror | which one suits you | 17:26 |

| mark76 | I'm going to have dinner | 17:26 |
| mark76 | BBL | 17:26 |
| andy | ok | 17:27 |
| andy | thanks a lot | 17:27 |
| andy | for your time and help | 17:27 |
| andy | the log is extremely long | 17:28 |
| andy | and I can't copy and paste | 17:28 |
| andy | anything in particular I should look for? | 17:28 |
| bioterror | is there any errors | 17:30 |
| tzanger | anyone encounter lxpanel not animating systray icons? kopete and dropbox's icons animate, but not in lxdm | 17:31 |
| andy | no | 17:31 |
| andy | no error | 17:31 |
| tzanger | (this is on a kubunutu 10.10 desktop that I installed lubuntu-desktop on, then rebooted to use lxdm) | 17:31 |
| bioterror | andy, sudo cat /var/log/lxdm.log is there anything? | 17:31 |
| andy | no it looks fine | 17:32 |
| bioterror | can you log in from the safe mode and use internet? | 17:37 |

| andy | no spaces | 17:43 |
| bioterror | cat ~/.xsession-errors | 17:44 |
| bioterror | does that say something | 17:44 |
| andy | it's empty | 17:45 |
| bioterror | hi gilir, we are having a problem with login. right after inputting username and password it flashes grey screen and returns to lxdm login screen | 17:45 |
| gilir | bioterror, I know, it's actually 2 bugs | 17:46 |
| bioterror | on 10.04? | 17:46 |
| gilir | no, on 11.04 | 17:46 |
| bioterror | this is on 10.04 | 17:47 |
| gilir | since when ? | 17:47 |
| andy | since today | 17:47 |
| andy | yesterday was working fine | 17:47 |
| andy | and I've never had any problem with the installation | 17:48 |
| andy | I didn't install any package yesterday, either | 17:48 |
| bioterror | andy cat /etc/lxdm/default.conf | 17:48 |
| bioterror | is the session line /usr/bin/startlubuntu | 17:48 |
| andy | yes it's there | 17:49 |
| andy | if it means anything | 17:49 |
| andy | there's nothing under [server] | 17:49 |
| bioterror | well it's commented off | 17:50 |
| andy | ok | 17:50 |
| gnewb | Hello, I am a returning LXDE user, just installed Lubuntu, 10.04, it is very nice. | 17:51 |
| bioterror | gilir, do you get anything in mind. xorg.0.log seems to not tell us nothing, .xsession-errors is empty | 17:53 |
| bioterror | one thing is to install gdm to solve this problem, but it wont fix the lxdm | 17:53 |
| gilir | check the /var/log/auth.log | 17:53 |
| andy | eveything seems to be fine | 17:55 |
| andy | in auth.log | 17:55 |
| bioterror | gotta put kids to bed, bbl | 17:57 |
| andy | thanks bioterror | 17:57 |
| andy | does it make any sense at all? | 17:57 |
| andy | is it possible that the problem is going on because I ran out of space on the partition? | 17:57 |
| mark76 | Is it working yet? | 17:57 |
| andy | no mark76 | 17:58 |
| mark76 | Ah | 17:58 |
| mark76 | How many partitions have you got? | 17:58 |
| andy | two | 17:58 |
| andy | win and lubuntu | 17:58 |
| andy | the lubuntu one is basically full | 17:58 |
| mark76 | Could you make it bigger? | 17:59 |
| andy | no but I could get rid of some stuff | 17:59 |
| andy | ok last try before I go | 18:00 |
| mark76 | Okay | 18:00 |
| andy | yeah!!! | 18:01 |
| andy | just worked by freeing up some space on the partition | 18:01 |
| andy | I saw that in auth.log there was a mention about the system being unable on keyring because of disk being full | 18:02 |
| andy | being unable to write | 18:03 |
| andy | ok | 18:03 |
| andy | thanks a lot to everyone for the help and the time | 18:03 |
| andy | I really appreciated it | 18:03 |
| andy | keep up with the fab work on the distro!!! | 18:04 |
| andy | bye bye | 18:05 |

| kristian-aalborg | hi all | 18:36 |
| gnewb | I have a Netgear/Marvel wireless card, do I need the Windows 2000 drivers for it ? it is the 833reva one. | 18:36 |
| kristian-aalborg | I removed the superflous language packs and a few apps, plus the modem stuff... is there something else I can safely lose to save a few megs? | 18:37 |
| bioterror | kristian-aalborg, rm -rf /usr/share/man/* :D | 18:39 |
| bioterror | you get easily 22MB ;D | 18:39 |
| bioterror | you dont need man pages, as long as you got IRC | 18:40 |
| bioterror | ":D" | 18:40 |
| gnewb | I have a PCI Marvell Technology Grp. Ltd. 88w835 [Libertas] 802.11 b/g Wireless (rev 03) device , is there a compatible or working driver for it ? | 18:43 |
| gnewb | Lubuntu 10.04 | 18:43 |
| bioterror | does lspci or lsusb see it? | 18:44 |
| gnewb | bioterror: It did, once | 18:45 |
| gnewb | lspci , it is a PCI dongle | 18:45 |
| bioterror | sudo lshw -c network | 18:45 |
| gnewb | Thank you. | 18:46 |

| bioterror | wget that .inf | 18:55 |
| gnewb | That does make better sense, I was uncertain if it was in the repos or not. | 18:56 |
| gnewb | Let me install and play with this old Wireless card...Thank you kindly for the assistance. | 18:57 |
| kristian-aalborg | I was actually thinking of removing some documentation/examples, | 19:08 |
| kristian-aalborg | oops, sitting in an awkward angle to keyboard... end of sentence was "but all man pages seems a bit too much" | 19:09 |
| kristian-aalborg | I have 60 megs or so left now of the 2 gigs... leaves very little space for the end user... it's not that lubuntu is big at all by modern standards | 19:26 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: you *can* fit lubuntu onto 2GB, but you are really pushing the limits of even lubuntu. The live install as per a usb device would leave a bit more space for user space, but with price of hard drives and usb sticks these days - a little bit more is better :) | 19:42 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: I have a 2GB usb stick, and it leaves me a reasonable abount of free space with lubuntu on it | 19:43 |
| phillw | it is known, with ubuntu as 2.3GB hell, fortunately lubuntu is a slimmer than ubuntu is. | 19:44 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: on my 2GB stick, I have 1.2GB of user space | 19:52 |
| bioterror | are you running lubuntu? | 19:52 |
| bioterror | or what | 19:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | yes, lubuntu 10.10 | 20:09 |
| kristian-aalborg | phillw: strange thing is, the installation failed so I had to do some creative things to start and clean up the install - then it ran fine | 20:09 |
| kristian-aalborg | I think it is awesome to give a complete system, with multimedia players and everything, in that amount of space | 20:10 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: the golden rule is md5 checksum the install media https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/CheckCD Else you can yourself up the creek without a paddle. | 20:13 |
| phillw | *you can find yourself* | 20:14 |
| kristian-aalborg | I did that, it was fine | 20:22 |
| kristian-aalborg | or to be specific, I md5'd the ISO, then used unetbootin to put it on the usb | 20:23 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: did you then check the usb? | 20:24 |
| kristian-aalborg | no, don't know how to do that | 20:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | just md5sum /media/usb ? | 20:28 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: give me a moment... | 20:30 |
| phillw | dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=279303 | md5sum Is the one for cd's, you would replace the /dev/cdrom with where your usb is mounted | 20:33 |
| phillw | but you should have 'check the cd' available on a usb boot. | 20:34 |
| phillw | that runs okay with 10.10 | 20:34 |
| kristian-aalborg | ah, of course... did not think that far | 20:40 |
| kristian-aalborg | doing that now... | 20:41 |
| kristian-aalborg | "check disk for defects", that is | 20:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | no errors found, yay | 20:42 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: it's why checking the install media is SO important :) | 20:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | yes, I've had it go wrong on me dozens of times... I can heartily recommend K3B for cd | 20:43 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: as you have a working system, we can catch up later - I'm being called to other teams, ping me if you get stuck and I'll return, but there are people more into the inside of lubuntu than I am. | 20:45 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: Hi, (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw) is an admin person, wiki stuff, tidying up stuff creating new entries. Passionate about Lubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu), Accessibility (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Team) and UBT (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam) Also familiar with LAMP and web stuff. | 20:46 |
| phillw | kristian-aalborg: if drop into #ubuntu-offtopic you can have a general chat about stuff. | 20:47 |
| phillw | I sent you an invite earlier | 20:47 |
| * phillw #lubuntu-offtopic !!!! | 20:47 | |
| kristian-aalborg | I'm off to bed anyway, so no prob phillw | 20:49 |
| kristian-aalborg | thanks for helping out, see y'all later | 20:50 |
