[04:44] <phillw> bug #1
[04:53] <bioterror> phillw, I think that bug is related to drivers
[04:53] <bioterror> it's the biggest issue
[07:24] <ochosi> hi everyone
[07:26] <IAmNotThatGuy> hello
[09:19] <tchouque_nourric> yop
[09:20] <tchouque_nourric> french speaking chan ?
[09:21] <MrChrisDruif> For Lubuntu?
[09:21] <MrChrisDruif> Not that I know :)
[09:21] <tchouque_nourric> yes
[09:21] <MrChrisDruif> For Ubuntu prolly #ubuntu-fr ?
[09:23] <tchouque_nourric> i have some problems with dpkg , installing lubuntu on an old asus a2d , athlon xp , 256 mo . after 10 mn "running dpkg" the computer turns off ...
[09:24] <tchouque_nourric> overheating
[09:25] <MrChrisDruif> Seems like hardware issues :-/
[09:26] <tchouque_nourric> there were no problems with xubuntu 8.04
[09:27] <MrChrisDruif> Weird :-/
[09:27] <tchouque_nourric> and no problems using lubuntu live cd ,
[09:28] <bioterror> clean your fan
[09:28] <tchouque_nourric> before installing , i have updated Xubuntu ( computer has not been used since 705 days ) and no problems ...
[09:28] <tchouque_nourric> i have cleaned the whole computer ...
[09:30] <tchouque_nourric> lubuntu is now installed , but i have had the same probleme with the update ...
[09:40] <ochosi> tchouque_nourric: are you updating via update-manager or with apt-get?
[09:51] <tchouque_nourric> sorry this was not an update , just trying to repair broken packages
[09:52] <tchouque_nourric> i 'm going to install update manager
[09:53] <ochosi> so what are the specific error messages?
[09:53] <ochosi> or what are you running? dpkg -r ?
[09:54] <ochosi> sorry, not -r :)
[09:54] <tchouque_nourric> i was using synaptic
[09:55] <tchouque_nourric> it was late, yesterday and i missed copying the error message , but it was about dpkg
[09:56] <ochosi> ok, try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in the terminal (because dpkg was interrupted by the overheating-shutdown)
[09:56] <tchouque_nourric> ok
[10:00] <tchouque_nourric> it works !
[10:01] <ochosi> so your problem is solved?
[10:02] <ano> hi?
[10:02] <ochosi> ano: why the question mark?
[10:02] <tchouque_nourric> yes \o/
[10:02] <ano> i don't use irc (at all really) - seems weird to drop in & out. :)
[10:03] <ano> just wanted to report back that i unbricked my acer aspire one happy!
[10:03] <ochosi> ano: you seem to contradict yourself saying _on irc_ that you're never _on irc_ ;)
[10:03] <ano> LOL
[10:03] <ano> well this is the first time in say 15 years
[10:03] <ano> and then it was just to see how it worked
[10:04] <ano> it took 24hrs of sleuthing, but i found the local (non-maximum toll) phone number for local acer support
[10:04] <ochosi> :)
[10:04] <ano> and it was like a scene from the IT Crowd
[10:05] <ano> have you tried plugging the battery in and out
[10:05] <ano> ?
[10:05] <ano> (duh!)
[10:05] <ochosi> haha
[10:05] <ano> i did & it worked!
[10:05] <ano> LOL
[10:05] <ochosi> ano: you surely know this one: http://xkcd.com/806/
[10:05] <ano> i'm so humiliated / well humbled!
[10:06] <ano> oh yes - classic! on my door!
[10:06] <ochosi> :)
[10:07] <ano> got to go get lunch - see you all again (but hopefully not in another decade!)
[10:07] <ochosi> bon appetit
[10:07] <ano> mercy buckets!
[11:35] <tchouque_nourric> re ... during update , overheating when installing ... and now i have no keyboard and mouse ( it works with live cd )
[12:44] <cyclist_2> Hello, there! how do I create and open a shortcut to the Desktop from a directory [say, 'Documents']?
[12:45] <bioterror> you want Documents Folder to your Desktop as a shortcut to ~/Documents
[13:02] <cyclist_2> bioterror: I am sorry, but I came back to read your reply as promptly as I could; yes, that is what I want, but it is not working for me when I just create the symbolic link on the Desktop...
[13:03] <bioterror> yeah
[13:10] <rick_2047> hey, is lubuntu safe enough to be given to someone very new to ubuntu and linux in general?
[13:10] <rick_2047> I see there are many known issues mentioned in the release notes
[13:15] <Timo_> rick_2047: what are the pc's capacities?
[13:15] <head_victim> rick_2047: it's fine for new users, if you read the release notes for the normal Ubuntu you'll see a lot more known issues.
[13:16] <rick_2047> Timo_: its a p4 (3.2GHz) and 512+256 ram
[13:16] <head_victim> It's more about letting you know what you might have issues with that have already been fixed in upcoming versions but not yet in the current release.
[13:16] <head_victim> ANd that will be GREAT on Lubuntu (I had a 3.2 up until a week ago running Lubuntu - the MB died on me)
[13:17] <rick_2047> so its as easy and not-pain-in-the-ass as the plain ubuntu
[13:17] <rick_2047> ?
[13:18] <head_victim> I didn't think normal Ubuntu was pain in the ass either
[13:19] <rick_2047> I said not pain in the ass
[13:19] <rick_2047> anyways
[13:19] <rick_2047> I think I will download and burn a CD then
[13:19] <rick_2047> if it improves the boot up time
[13:19] <rick_2047> I would do anything
[13:20] <rick_2047> head_victim: what was the boot time that you had?
[13:20] <rick_2047> head_victim: I had a boot time of 1:30 mins with 9.10
[13:21] <head_victim> I'm not sure, I don't turn my pc's off unless the power goes out
[13:22] <rick_2047> o darn
[14:33] <leszek> hi
[14:33] <mark76> Hey les
[17:02] <phillw> hiyas ochosi you have an invite to #lubuntu-offtopic
[18:17] <szh> what is the easiest way to take a screenshot in Lubuntu?
[18:19] <mark76> scrot
[18:19] <mark76> Apparently
[18:22] <szh> Thanks
[19:30] <kristian-aalborg> hi all
[19:30] <kristian-aalborg> this is weird, lubuntu just froze on the Eee... does anyone have a clue as to why this could happen?
[19:31] <kristian-aalborg> aaaand... it runs again
[22:08] <OiPenguin> Hi. I need help with enabling USB automount on a new setup of Lubuntu.
[22:08] <OiPenguin> lsusb displays the usb pen, however it's not automounted
[22:09] <bioterror> should be
[22:10] <bioterror> you dont see it in pcmanfm?
[22:11] <OiPenguin> I don't see it anywhere. What is pcmanfm? When I type pcmanfm in terminal the home directory is opened.
[22:12] <OiPenguin> OK. pcmanfm is the file explorer. No, it's not there.
[22:13] <OiPenguin> I've ticked all three options under pcmanfm --> Preferences -- Volume Managment
[22:14] <OiPenguin> I should add that I previously installed Mint Fluxbox, but eventually reinstalled (choosing Lubuntu) because I wasn't able to enable auto mount of usb pen. I've tried two different usb pens, both formatted fat32 and confirmed working on ordinary Ubuntu.
[22:15] <OiPenguin>  Both /mnt and /media is empty. Auto mount of optical drive is working properly.
[22:17] <OiPenguin> The machine is a Packard Bell EasyNote W3344 D
