cphuntington97I didn't know if that would be appropriate for lubuntu... I will post on ubuntuforums00:02
kristian-aalborgI think so, but I'm not suer00:03
kristian-aalborg*sure00:03
gnewbHello00:25
cphuntington97hi gnewb00:25

gnewbNeato00:28
gnewbI sail boats and am actually a Captain.00:29
cphuntington97welcome aboard :-)00:29
gnewbUse to pilot smaller ships and vessels, now I sail a very small boat, is fun.00:29
gnewbThank you.00:30
gnewbI love this new Lubuntu spin.00:30
cphuntington97ditto... all my favorite apps out of the box00:30
cphuntington97chromium, pidgin, lxde, etc.00:31
gnewbI hop around distros alot, I am a big proponent of the Debian DSFG stuff, but I also like the BSD styles of licensing  schemas.00:32
gnewbI added Skype the other day.00:32
gnewbI am running this on an older home built desktop with 512 RAM and a P$00:33
gnewbP400:33
gnewbI forgot, was Tomboy installed by default?00:34
cphuntington97I think it's XPad00:42
gnewbOkee dokee, Thank you00:43
gnewbI added Gnote to this one.00:43
cphuntington97I also appreciate that tap to click was turned on by default00:45
gnewbYes, I test systems on my Nieces Laptop, this Lubuntu is in a very close spectrum with !# now.00:49
cphuntington97#! was a little too barebones for me00:52
gnewbI agree, it has its purposes, and it fills them well.00:54
gnewbI also tested the LXDE Debian, that one was blinding fast with a few tweaks.00:55
gnewbNow I am testing on Older Hardware boxes/systems, OLPC sorta stuff.00:56
head_victimAh how does it go on an OLPC?00:56
head_victim(I'm going to a conference where there will be an OLPC representation)00:56
cphuntington97I'm running it on a netbook... 1.6ghz atom / 1gig ram00:56
cphuntington97performance is fine00:57
gnewbWith Sugar it rocks, zap sugar out and run new Statler it screams.00:57
cphuntington97I just like I can have lubuntu running almost immediately00:57
cphuntington97debian takes time to set up00:58
cphuntington97aight I must eat! thanks everyone for your thoughts00:58
gnewbAs you stated, !# is more for educational or programming than fun eye candy stuff. There is always a fine middle ground that can be found.00:58
gnewbI lub the LXDE00:59
charliemacIs it safe to run a 32 bit program/OS through a 64-bit processer?08:21
charliemacHow can I use Unntbootin to reformat my WinXP computer with #lubuntu ?09:29
charliemac*Unetbootin09:29
head_victimcharliemac: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net is a good page09:34
head_victimFor Lubuntu you will have to download the Lubuntu ISO file (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#Download) and use the option of "using an ISO file you've already downloaded"09:35
IAmNotThatGuy!lxde | charliemac09:41
IAmNotThatGuyawwh the bot has no answers09:41
IAmNotThatGuycharliemac, you just try to ask in any one channel. and that will be better to answer09:41
IAmNotThatGuycharliemac, its just the environment and you can install any09:42
mmaksimovHi. Does any release schedule exist for 11.04? Is it available on lubuntu wiki?09:43
charliemacIs LXDE over Xubuntu as light and zippy as Lubuntu?09:44
charliemac(With SLiM)09:45
charliemacI have the md5sum confirmed lubuntu10.10 iso as well as unetbootin in seperate thumb drives on the target machine, which runs winXP.  Can I use UNetbootin to overwrite the C:\ with the Lubuntu ISO on said computer?10:08
head_victimcharliemac: if you have the usb thumb drive installed correctly via the unetbootin then all you need to do is plug it in, reboot the machine and make sure the bios is set to boot from USB as the first option.10:15
head_victimIt will then ask you questions on how to install it or try it out10:15
charliemacTarget machine will not boot from USB or CD-ROM10:16
charliemacIt doesn't have a floppy drive and currently isn't networked.10:18
charliemacNevermind, i guess it is networked!10:25
head_victimWell if it won't boot from CD or USB how did you get the current OS installed?10:25
head_victimI would double check your BIOS settings because it usually just needs to change the boot order for it to work10:26
howoriginalAUHi everyone :)10:47
howoriginalAUJust installed Lubuntu 10.04 for the first time10:48
howoriginalAUQuite a good distribution!10:49
charliemacThe current OS got there before the CD-rom died.  :[10:49
charliemacI double checked BIOS and the USB doesn't show up in the boot menu10:49
howoriginalAUThat's odd, the USB not showing up at all10:53
howoriginalAUHave you tried plugging it into a different USB port?10:53
howoriginalAUI had the same problem where it wouldn't show up (a couple of months back) - I just restarted in a different USB port and it recognised it fine10:54
charliemacOk, I will try that.10:54
howoriginalAUcharliemac: I hope it works! :)10:54
charliemac:)10:55
charliemacSame here lol10:55
howoriginalAUIf you're using a USB hub (external USB device that has more ports, if you didn't know) they often don't have enough power if all of the available USB ports are full10:56
howoriginalAUI've had a *ridiculous* amount of problems just because of that reason - ranging from glitchy headphones to external hard drive dropping out midway through a very important backup....10:57
=== IAmNotThatGuy is now known as M0hi
charliemacThis is a stripped down notebook with 4 built-in USB ports, and it seems none of them are showing up in my BIOS or boot screens11:06
MrChrisDruifSome (if not most) BIOS don't have the ability to boot from USB11:07
bioterrorhow about burning that iso to a CD-R11:08
MrChrisDruifIndeed, if USB doesn't work just go old-fashion and use CD11:09
charliemacThe CD Rom drive doesn11:09
charliemact work anymore either11:09
charliemac(*Not sure if USB ever showed up in boot menus)11:10
howoriginalAUIsn't there like a 'Press F12 for boot menu' or something on all laptops / netbooks?11:12
howoriginalAUIt should have 'Boot from USB, Boot from CD' etc etc11:12
=== sjakoo is now known as joris
charliemacYes but when I got there, the only three selectoins offered were CD, Broadcom MBA, and hard disk...11:13
howoriginalAUSo the CD drive just doesn't open?11:13
charliemacI already tried booting from two different CDs of the unpacked ISO, with md5sum confirmed, created through two different ISO reading image writers11:15
howoriginalAUand what happened?11:15
howoriginalAUI'm thinking the problem here is the words 'unpacked iso'11:15
howoriginalAUbut did they boot at all?11:15
charliemacIt sounds like the drive is bad,  no full speed reading cycles took place11:15
howoriginalAUHmm okay11:16
howoriginalAUwhat's the exact process you took to burn those CD's, starting from after you downloaded the iso?11:16
charliemacI used winMd5Sum to compare the ISO with the hash listed here: < http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/md5sum.txt>, then11:18
charliemacThen I ran infra recorder.  When I tried to confirm the disc, the drive failed, apparently.  Since I couldn't be sure it was a bad disc (what are the chances of that happening, anyway?) I decided to make another disk from11:21
howoriginalAUChances of that happening are actually higher than you might think :)11:21
howoriginalAUbut continue11:22
charliemacthe same iso which was confirmed earlier, this time using11:23
jorisI am still trying to setup an encrypted home folder in lubuntu, but it doesn't work out yet. There is something about it in the release notes, but I can't figure out how to use this...11:24
jorisAny ideas?11:24
howoriginalAUjoris: are you using a desktop or laptop?11:24
jorisI am trying now on a desktop but if it works than I want to install lubuntu on my netbook11:25
charliemacISO Recorder11:25
howoriginalAUdon't have any ideas for the desktop, but for the netbook - shut the lid, drill a hole all the way through and then padlock it shut :D11:25
howoriginalAUhaha I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm not sure!11:25
howoriginalAUcharliemac: what OS are you using, XP or Vista or 7?11:25
MrChrisDruifhoworiginalAU: Not funny ;)11:25
howoriginalAUMrChrisDruif: I know, because it happened to me as a practical joke11:26
jorisah well I don't care11:26
charliemacThe source machine runs VISTA11:26
joris;)11:26
charliemacthe target has XP11:26
howoriginalAUTry this charliemac: try burning the cd at a slower speed (about halfway down the list of available burn speeds)11:27
jorisI know lubuntu will fly on my netbook that's why I would like to make this work. Now it is running ubuntu and it's ok but I like speed11:27
howoriginalAUwe'll just try and find out whether or not it's the cd drive or just the cd's themselves11:27
howoriginalAUjoris: I'm not sure if this is just on the normal Ubuntu install, but isn't there an option to have an encrypted home folder in the actual installation?11:28
charliemacOk, I'll try using an audio cd in windows media player or something11:28
howoriginalAUcharliemac: that's not what I meant, but that's actually a good idea11:29
jorisNo or yes but you need to mount it manually after you boot to it11:29
howoriginalAUjoris: yeah I'm guessing it asks you for a password in text mode?11:29
jorisYeah you need to mount on the terminal11:29
jorisafter login11:29
howoriginalAUalright fair enough11:29
howoriginalAUDoes it recognise the partition at least?11:30
jorisIs possible but I use my netbook to check stuff online11:30
jorisfas11:30
jorist11:30
charliemac;)11:30
jorisSo mounting my home from the cli everytime I boot is inconvenient11:30
howoriginalAUAh I get what you mean - you just want it to automount, ask for your password and then go11:31
jorismy home is not on a seperate partition11:31
jorishoworiginalAU yes11:31
howoriginalAUHmm, does it work in file manager? surely it must show up11:32
howoriginalAUbecause if it does, you could just have file manager load on startup. Then you can click on the drive, type in the password and away you go11:33
jorisNo that is not how it works11:34
jorisThe filemanager shows a link to access your private desktop11:35
jorisan a readme with the command to type in the cli to mount the home folder11:36
charliemacFalling asleep; thanks all!11:43
head_victimOh my, another Australian! And I missed him :.11:46
MrChrisDruifhead_victim: I have a feeling that he'll be around :)11:49
head_victimCool, going to have to show him th eloco as well :D11:49
craigbass1976I spent the majority of yesterday on a windows 7 box.  Hoping to feel better when I got back to this box today (I'l be a few days recovering from MS) I realize that the shortcut to /home/me on my desktop is call My Documents.  How do I change that?  It's giving me the heebie jeebies12:22
MrChrisDruifxD12:32
bioterrorwhat12:37
MrChrisDruifThat craigbass1976 needs to recover from a Windows session, I thought that was (just a bit) funny :)12:38
craigbass1976MrChrisDruif, 13 hours dude...  I'm still toast today.12:38
MrChrisDruifI see Windows as a necessary means to get certain things done (updating my Android e.g.)12:43
MrChrisDruifI don't really play any Windows games anymore and for the rest I can use Linux, so I'm completely converted to Linux :)12:44
MrChrisDruifI'll ask it in the "official" area: how would I go about to install Lubuntu 64 bit?12:51
head_victimI run windows in a VM for updating my GPS for the car but other than that, I'm completely windows free :)12:53
head_victimAnd why do you have to run windows to update an android? How does that even make sense (I don't own an android mind you)12:53
MrChrisDruifI've got a Samsung Galaxy S and in order to update it (new Android version like 2.1 > 2.2) you need to run Samsung's Kies (don't know it's English name, prolly Choose) software <_<" And you can't run that in Wine or VM Windows <_<"12:55
head_victimReally? That sucks. I would have thought a vm would have done it12:56
MrChrisDruifApparently it will say it's running another process...just what I've read on the interwebs...12:59
craigbass1976So, is there a way ot rename this abonimation on my dektop?13:09
MrChrisDruifOn the Windows Machine? :-/13:13
craigbass1976MrChrisDruif, no, on this lubuntu box.13:17
MrChrisDruifYou can't right-click it? :-/13:17
craigbass1976In a totally other vein...  /etc/hosts : I cna put in an ip and give it a name, but can I give it a name and then give it another, shorter name?  Someone is using dyndns.org and the host name is wicked long.  I was hoping to be able to do something like ssh blah rather than ssh blahblahbalhblabh13:18
craigbass1976MrChrisDruif, can't change the name when I do that.  And ls Desktop doesn't show it (so I can't just mv it)13:19
MrChrisDruifcraigbass1976: Sorry man, can't help you. Maybe someone else knows :)13:20
bioterror!alias | craigbass197613:27
bioterrorargh13:27
bioterrorwell, make alias to your .shellrc13:27
bioterrorwhat ever you are using13:27
bioterrorfor that ssh13:27
retkuhey, does lubuntu use the same network manager than ubuntu?13:49
bioterrorretku, gnome network-manager13:50
retkuis it same that ubuntu uses?13:53
bioterrorseems so13:54
MrChrisDruifLXDE uses gnome-network-manager? =-O *mind == blown*13:57
bioterrorMrChrisDruif, tbh it's better than wicd13:58
MrChrisDruifYeah, but that it uses gnome stuff :)13:58
bioterror...13:59
bioterrorpcmanfm uses gvfs13:59
bioterrorguess what the g stands for13:59
MrChrisDruifI think I can guess that ;)13:59
retkuSo how do I install lubuntu if I already have ubuntu?14:06
Mkaysiretku: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop14:06
bioterrorMkaysi, you forgot something14:06
Mkaysibioterror: ?14:07
bioterror--no-install-recommends14:07
Mkaysi* sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop ?14:07
MkaysiAh, OK.14:07
bioterrorhahaha14:07
bioterrorremoving ubuntu-desktop removes just a meta package :D14:08
MkaysiMrChrisDruif: Lubuntu also uses gnome-system-tools14:08
retkui dont want to remove ubuntu14:09
Mkaysisudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends14:10
retkuand how do I remove lubuntu? (I just test it with this computer for to see if I install it to old computer)14:12
bioterrorhttp://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome14:13
retkuok thanks, I'll try it out14:14

Henflinwell I think xarchivier is alread preinstalled in lubuntu 10.1018:37
Henflinthat is why I stick on xarchivier18:37
Kurdistanthere is a smaler bug in lubuntu 10.10 with xarchiver.18:38
KurdistanI think to 11.04 they will replace it with file-roller18:38

Kurdistanhenflin you can test it right away by extract i file you will understand. :)18:39
Henflinhehe18:39
HenflinI dont use chat messengers would you recommend me to deinstal Pidgin  ?18:40

HenflinIam a newcomer to linux18:52

KurdistanI hate windows. not the right person to talk windows with. :)18:52
HenflinI see so you installed Lxga18:52

HenflinWhich graphic editor do you use?19:05
pip__Henflin: leafpad19:06
Henflinpip__ does leafpad support .txt files?19:06
Henflin( i dont know which format is used in linux)19:06
pip__I think so. Its closer to notepad than xpad is19:07
HenflinI see19:07
HenflinWhy do they put 3 notepads in Lubuntu?19:07
pip__you may have to add the .txt extension by hand19:07
Henflinok that is np19:07
Henflinthere is abiword , xword and leafpad19:08
HenflinCan I just deinstall abiword and xword pip__ ??19:08
pip__I see no reason not to19:08
pip__i find xpad useful though19:08
Henflinok perfect19:09
HenflinI think for me one word editor is enough19:09
Henflinthx19:09
pip__abiword is more like MS word19:09
pip__whereas leafpad is like wordpad or notepad19:10
Henflin1I see19:11
HenflinI think I will keep abiword and notepad19:11
Henflinbut19:11
Henflinwould you say19:11
HenflinOpenoffice is ahead of abiword?19:11
Kurdistanhenflin you mean leafpad?19:11
pip__yes I believe it is a little more powerful19:11
Henflinnah abiword19:11
HenflinOk19:12
Kurdistanhenflin the new libreoffice will kick ass.19:12
Henflinthen I will deinstall abiword and install openoffice19:12
pip__but abiword will do all the basics19:12
HenflinOpenoffice isnt preinstalled in Lubuntu 10.10 yesss??19:12
Kurdistanmuch faster then openoffice19:12
HenflinI see19:12
pip__correct19:12
Henflinhmm19:12
Henflinsame formats?19:12
pip__Open Off is in synaptic so its easy to install19:13
Kurdistanyou mean libreoffice?19:13

pip__I mean Open, is Libre available now?19:13
Kurdistanlibre have there own ppa also19:14

Kurdistanbut it is rc version19:14
pip__I may try that out myself19:14
HenflinI mean Openoffice19:14
pip__I'm running alpha anyway so.............19:14
Henflinso you would say openoffice is ahead of abiword but abiword is little faster19:14
Henflinyee19:14
Henflin?19:14
pip__I don't know.  I do my stuff with Open19:15
pip__It works well for me19:15
Henflinopen = openoffice?19:15
pip__yes19:15
Henflinah ok19:15
HenflinI think I do the same19:15
Kurdistanhenflin openoffice is more complete but abiword is good.19:15
Henflinand will deinsall abiword19:15

ubot5An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview  see also: man hier19:58
HenflinI understood19:58

bioterroryou know basic commands and stuff?20:01
Henflinin Linux I can do this ye ? ^^20:01
Henflina little20:01
bioterror!cli20:01
ubot5The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro20:01
Henflinonce I tested a live CD with linux20:01
bioterror!sudo20:02
ubot5sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo20:02
bioterrorsomething to read before you install20:02
Henflin /usr seems to be equal to programs in windows20:02
bioterrornope20:02
Henflin"/usr contains the majority of user utilities and applications"20:03
Henflinin windows all applications are in folder /programs20:03
Henflin /mnt is similar to demon tools20:05
Henflin:)20:05
bioterrormnt is just a place where you mount random stuff with mount/umount command20:05
Henflinbut in windows mounted devices are placed in "mycomputer"20:05
Henflinwould that be equal to /mnt folder?20:06
bioterrorin ubuntu they go to /media20:06
Henflinhmm20:06
Henflinwhy so many virtual file system placeS?20:06
bioterrorin windows mounted drives gets alphabetical name20:06
Henflin /proc = /mnt = /media ??20:06
Henflinyes20:06
Henflin a: d:20:07
Henflinall shown in "my computer"20:07
bioterrorin nixes they are just in places20:07
bioterroractually20:07
Henflin /bin = system32 in windows20:07
bioterrorwindows has a feature that you can format drive to a certain directory20:07
Henflinwhat means nixes20:08
bioterrorunixes linuxes20:08
Henflinah ok20:08
bioterror*nix20:08
bioterrori was just lazy :D20:08
Henflin^^20:09
Henflinso mounted files can be in /proc in /mnt annd in /media ??20:09
Henflinlike test.iso20:09
Henflinafter mounting it will be in one of those 320:09
Henflin?20:09
Henflin:)20:09
bioterrorno20:10
bioterrorproc has information about your computer20:10
Henflinbtw can I delete the folders in /home i.e. the folder "template" , "videos", "public" , "music" ?20:10
Henflinah ok20:10
bioterrorsure you20:11
bioterrorbut not else where20:11
Henflinsomething similar like /proc doesnt exist in windows tho20:11
bioterrornope20:11
bioterrorive got a script that checks from my /proc cpu speeds20:12
Henflinbioterror if I would delete something elsewhere like /etc /bin I would need to customize the kernel to take effect ?20:12
bioterrori know whats the demand for the usage20:12
Henflinthats cool20:12
bioterrorno20:12
bioterrorand youre not going to delete anything from there without using sudo20:13
Henflinso there is no possibilty to delete folders there ??20:13
Henflinah ok20:13
Henflinbioterror if a malecious file is executed by mistake on my computer it will be able to use sudo too to make bad effects ??20:13
bioterrorif you run it as super user20:14
Henflinah ok20:14
Henflinso I should always run things i dont know as a normal user20:14
bioterrorotherwise if you try to execute it as a normal user, it cant do anything20:14
Henflinif I installl a program I need to install via super user dont I20:14
bioterrortechnically you get everything from the ubuntu repositories20:15
Henflinyep20:15
Henflinin windows 7 i need to run some files "as adminstrator" otherwise some programs wouldnt run correctly20:16
bioterroryes20:16
