| philip__ | What's a good DVD maker for LUbuntu 10.10? | 05:13 |
|---|---|---|
| philip__ | Hello? | 05:24 |
| head_victim | philip__: xfburn is the default application in Lubuntu | 05:27 |
| philip__ | How do I convert a AVI file to DVD so I can use it on all DVD players? | 05:28 |
| head_victim | philip__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVDAuthoring has a few different options | 05:29 |
| philip__ | I'm gonna give: QDVDAuthor a try | 05:31 |
| philip__ | Thanks for your help Head_Victim. | 05:31 |
| head_victim | philip__: no problems, let us know how it goes | 05:31 |
| head_victim | I personally haven't used any of them sorry | 05:31 |
| philip__ | Downloading packages now. | 05:31 |
| philip__ | I used to use Windows for that, but I had to buy a new harddrive as my drive went derp... So I needed a Operating system. | 05:32 |
| philip__ | I thought I'd Give Lubuntu a try. | 05:32 |
| head_victim | Ah ok, good to hear, that's how I started, just swapping programs from windows to linux one at a time. Now I have no need for windows at all. | 05:33 |
| philip__ | :) | 05:33 |
| philip__ | Had to borrow moms lappy to download it of course haha | 05:33 |
| head_victim | Hah yeah but once you have it you can use it as much as you like | 05:34 |
| philip__ | This PC Is 6 yrs old, I used to use regular Ubuntu but, Noticed GNOME was giving me 70% cpu spikes | 05:37 |
| philip__ | I was like GOD now Gnome sucks haha | 05:40 |
| head_victim | Yeah I find anything P4 or older Lubuntu is the way to go (I'm currently on a p4 3.2 prescott cpu and it's great!) | 05:40 |
| head_victim | I have used it to good effect on a 2.4 celeron as well | 05:41 |
| philip__ | I'm on AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.8GHZ 1GB ram 256MB video ram Nvidia geforce FX 5200 AGP8x 160GB machine. | 05:41 |
| head_victim | It should run great then | 05:41 |
| philip__ | I'm on it right now so I know it does. | 05:41 |
| philip__ | Lol. | 05:41 |
| head_victim | I'm a bit impatient, if things take a while to do I don't like it so the normal Ubuntu made me want to buy a new computer. Then I found Lubuntu and it saved me buying an upgrade as it worked for what I wanted as well as I wanted. | 05:42 |
| philip__ | Yeah I'm still looking on buying a new PC though lol. | 05:42 |
| philip__ | What you think of my 6 yr old machine? | 05:44 |
| head_victim | Hah yeah fair enough, this is my irc/web browsing machine. I have a quad core with 10gb of ram for anything that really needs grunt | 05:44 |
| philip__ | I use this thing for Everything | 05:44 |
| * philip__ hopes LibIMobile get updated soon. | 05:45 | |
| philip__ | I have a IPod | 05:46 |
| head_victim | Ah I bought an iriver, it uses ogg and flac and I can just copy/paste music. | 05:46 |
| philip__ | I wanted a portable device I could use as a computer and the iPod fit that | 05:47 |
| head_victim | Cool, as long as it does what you need. I'm about to upgrade my phone so that will do that I think. The iriver I mainly got as a digital radio. | 05:47 |
| philip__ | Wanna hear a good song? | 05:48 |
| philip__ | Atleast I think it's good lol. | 05:49 |
| head_victim | Heh I have to go get ready for a BBQ but if you want to post a link I'll probably listen later, also if you are liking Lubuntu and want to hang around and chat we have an "offtopic" channel where team members just hang around and chat - #lubuntu-offtopic :D | 05:49 |
| philip__ | Posted in PM. | 05:50 |
| philip__ | Just so you know :) | 05:50 |
| philip__ | Have fun! | 05:51 |
| philip__ | I would like to know how to setup my Windows keys on my keyboard, to make the menu pop open. | 06:01 |
| philip__ | So far I converted the video to DVD fine I'm hoping :) | 06:54 |
| philip__ | Burning it to Disk to test it | 06:54 |
| philip__ | I was wondering, have you guys thought about maybe Including Opera browser? | 08:55 |
| bioterror | philip__, opera is closed source | 09:26 |
| bioterror | it's against the ubuntu principles | 09:26 |
| ct529 | hi! I have a problem in lubuntu .... when I launch the use admin tool it just hangs there forever. the gui start, the little clock mouse courier starts, but it never stops .... anyone had this problem before? how do I add users manually? | 12:28 |
| bioterror | "sudo adduser" in terminal | 12:29 |
| ct529 | bioterror: ok, thanks .... I thought it was useradd .... | 12:29 |
| bioterror | ;) | 12:29 |
| bioterror | both should work, I think | 12:30 |
| ct529 | bioterror: do you know the source of the problem i am experiencing? have you had any similar problem? | 12:30 |
| bioterror | nope, I have not | 12:30 |
| ct529 | bioterror: there is a useradd | 12:30 |
| ct529 | bioterror: does adduser automatically add the users to the sudoers? | 12:31 |
| bioterror | nope | 12:31 |
| bioterror | so the user settings is not working for you? | 12:31 |
| ct529 | bioterror: nope .... :-( .... is there a way to reinstall it? | 12:31 |
| ct529 | bioterror: if I try to uninstall, i am worried about breaking a good installation | 12:32 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get purge users-admin | 12:32 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 12:32 |
| bioterror | should do the trick | 12:33 |
| ct529 | bioterror: mmmm .... wait and I try again (I am installing a groupof pacakges) | 12:33 |
| ct529 | bioterror: I have finally solved all the kernel errors, thanks to your help as well | 12:33 |
| ct529 | bioterror: it is quite fast now | 12:34 |
| bioterror | yeah, Lubuntu is nice, even if you're having a decent computer | 12:34 |
| ct529 | bioterror: well, this is quite old actually .... and I had to do lot of tweaking :-) | 12:35 |
| ct529 | bioterror: nohz=off ipv6.disable=1 acpi=off at the moment, plus blacklisting some kernel modules that were giving a lot of grief | 12:35 |
| bioterror | ahhh, I gave you those two ;) | 12:36 |
| ct529 | bioterror: there is still the user-admin problem to solve | 12:36 |
| bioterror | you can edit /etc/group with editor ;) | 12:36 |
| bioterror | vi, vim, nano | 12:36 |
| bioterror | what ever is your favourite | 12:36 |
| ct529 | bioterror: yes I know, but this is my wife laptop .... | 12:37 |
| ct529 | bioterror: I do not want to her any grief with text editors | 12:38 |
| bioterror | add her account (or yours) to adm admin and what was there | 12:38 |
| bioterror | oh, I think you dont have to edit much those user settings | 12:38 |
| ct529 | bioterror: yes, I hope .... at the moment I do everything manually ....the sudoers group is adm or admin? | 12:38 |
| bioterror | hmm | 12:39 |
| bioterror | # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges | 12:39 |
| bioterror | %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 12:39 |
| ct529 | bioterror: I have actually been naughty .... I gave the root permission to login as root .... :-D | 12:40 |
| ct529 | bioterror: I can cope with all this sude stuff on all machines I use | 12:40 |
| bioterror | it's okay to have a password for root, if you have to go to recovery mode or something | 12:40 |
| bioterror | saved me couple of times | 12:40 |
| ct529 | I logged in graphical mode in root .... running lxde .... :-D | 12:41 |
| bioterror | why? :P | 12:41 |
| ct529 | bioterror: because lubuntu does not offer my the option to start in console mode | 12:42 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 12:42 |
| bioterror | remove lxdm and use startx | 12:42 |
| bioterror | ^___^ | 12:42 |
| ct529 | bioterror: oh ok .... better not, it is my wife's laptop | 12:42 |
| ct529 | bioterror: apt-get purge users-admin returns unable to locate pacakge users-admin | 12:45 |
| ct529 | bioterror: where did you find the %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL? in the sudoers file? | 12:45 |
| bioterror | right | 12:45 |
| bioterror | ct529, yeah that's defined in the /etc/sudoers | 12:45 |
| ct529 | bioterror: yes .... | 12:46 |
| ct529 | bioterror: ok .... users-admin is part of gnome-system-tools | 12:46 |
| bioterror | "nice" ;) | 12:47 |
| ct529 | bioterror: apt-gte install gnome-system-tools --reinstall wll do it :-D | 12:48 |
| bioterror | I'm a fan of purge | 12:49 |
| bioterror | as I want to get rid of possible failed configuration files | 12:49 |
| ct529 | bioterror: me too .... | 12:49 |
| ct529 | bioterror: indeed the problem is still there | 12:49 |
| ct529 | bioterror: now, colossal purge | 12:52 |
| ct529 | bioterror: I do not understand why it is offering me to boot in kde, openbox and gnome when they are not at all installed .... :-( | 12:56 |
| bioterror | w ha t? | 12:56 |
| bioterror | you mean the lxdm? | 12:56 |
| bioterror | graphical login screen? | 12:57 |
| ct529 | bioterror: yes | 12:58 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get remove kde\* | 13:08 |
| bioterror | ;) | 13:08 |
| bioterror | if you have infected your computer with KDE | 13:08 |
| ct529 | bioterror: there is no kde of course .... it is a vanilla installation of lubuntu .... from scratch | 13:09 |
| ct529 | bioterror: or gnome or openbox | 13:09 |
| bioterror | oh okay | 13:11 |
| ct529 | bioterror: do you recommend installing lxde-common and lxde-core? | 13:14 |
| bioterror | those should be installed? ;) | 13:14 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 13:15 |
| bioterror | wait a second :D | 13:15 |
| ct529 | bioterror:they are not | 13:15 |
| bioterror | I just checked dpkg -L :D | 13:15 |
| ct529 | what do you think? | 13:16 |
| bioterror | no you dont need them, as those are not dependencies in lubuntu-desktop | 13:17 |
| ct529 | bioterror: last question .... how do you use an external monitor with lxde? | 13:25 |
| bioterror | I use only laptop :D | 13:26 |
| ct529 | bioterror: my wife has a nice 19" external to use with her laptop | 13:26 |
| bioterror | she doesnt have a docking station? | 13:26 |
| bioterror | or port replicator | 13:26 |
| bioterror | how about xrandr | 13:27 |
| bioterror | DVI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | 13:28 |
| bioterror | TV1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | 13:28 |
| ct529 | bioterror: yes, I am uxing xrandr but the external monitor does not seem to like it .... no signal it says | 13:40 |
| ct529 | no docking station .... | 13:40 |
| ct529 | bioterror: I would like the "big desktop mode" with the laptop desktop as primary desktop | 13:41 |
| ct529 | bioterror: where on earth os xorg.conf on lubuntu? | 13:41 |
| bioterror | theres no such thing | 13:57 |
| bioterror | it's dun with udev if I remember right | 13:57 |
| bioterror | you have xorg.conf.d or something | 13:58 |
| bioterror | but ofcourse you can make one and it will overwrite the "probing" | 13:58 |
| ct529 | bioterror: thanks .... | 13:59 |

| lubunturulz | me want 64 bit lubuntu so bat | 14:51 |
| lubunturulz | aneybodeh 64 bti luunut distro share? D: | 14:52 |
| lubunturulz | pehliease? | 14:53 |
| BWMerlin | lubunturulz: there was a post/forum somewhere about that | 14:53 |
| BWMerlin | i think what the person did was get the netboot ubuntu cd | 14:53 |
| BWMerlin | the 64bit version | 14:53 |
| BWMerlin | and then pulled down lubuntu that way so it had to pull down the 64 bit files etc | 14:53 |
| BWMerlin | but yes i would also like a UEFI and 64bit support version of lubuntu | 14:54 |
| lubunturulz | ah, thanks for the info | 14:57 |

| D33R | mrojas6996: Hola, exíste uno, pero nunca tienes gente online | 16:52 |
| mrojas6996 | entiendo, entonces significa que debo ir al canal de Ubuntu en español | 16:52 |

| kob | hi all, anyone running TOR ? I'd need a running bridge to connect to the network | 19:58 |
| jmarsden | kob: I don't think you'll find many Lubuntu users using Tor; the really security-paranoid tend to run a hardened OS such as OpenBSD or whatever... Lubuntu is more for folsk who older PCs or who like a lightweight GUI. But I could be wrong. | 20:01 |
| kob | ok | 20:03 |
| kob | thx for the info | 20:03 |
| kob | I'm just trying my luck here and there | 20:03 |
| jmarsden | No problem. I have used Tor, but am not doing so at the moment and I have not used it with Lubuntu. | 20:04 |
| === MH0 is now known as MichealH | ||
| philip__ | So I burned a DVD with Lubuntu, but there's green splotches in the video... that comes up every once in awhile. | 20:55 |
| philip__ | QDVDAuthor/brasaro | 20:56 |
| jmarsden | philip__: Does the video playback fine when played directly from the original file on hard disk? | 21:52 |
| philip__ | Yup. | 21:52 |
| philip__ | The DVD Plays fine but gets the green pixels once in awhile. | 21:53 |
| jmarsden | Did QDVDAuthor have to do some kind of video encoding format conversion before you burned the DVD? | 21:53 |
| philip__ | Yes. | 21:53 |
| philip__ | Had to convert it to DVD folders before I could make it playable on all DVD players. | 21:53 |
| jmarsden | OK, so most likely that is what added the issue. If you format convert and store that converted file on the hard drive, does *that* play back fine from the hard drive? | 21:54 |
| philip__ | yeah. | 21:54 |
| jmarsden | Strange... if the video is fine in the converted file format, it should be fine on the DVD too. Brasero doesn't change anything, as far as I know. | 21:55 |
| philip__ | Maybe it was a user glitch, first time using QDVDAuthor. | 21:56 |
| philip__ | hehe. | 22:03 |
| philip__ | Welcome back Phillw. | 22:41 |
| philip__ | How do I install the new LibIMobiledevice (For IPod touch) In Lubuntu? | 22:54 |
| jmarsden | philip__: Has that LibIMobiledevice been packaged for Ubuntu yet? Seems strange capitalization...? | 23:04 |
| philip__ | Yes it has. I think so. | 23:04 |
| philip__ | I need it for my IPod touch 4G 4.2.1 IOS. | 23:04 |
| jmarsden | Then you can install it using Synaptic or whatever package manager you prefer. search for it in there and then mark it for installation, and ask Synaptic to do it :) | 23:11 |
| philip__ | The only one available doesn't work. I tried it. | 23:12 |
| jmarsden | "doesn't work" is pretty generic... did you get any error messages, did you file a bug report? | 23:12 |
| philip__ | Nah it just fails to download. | 23:13 |
| jmarsden | OK, can you do sudo apt-get install LibMobiledevice and pastebin me the output? | 23:15 |
| jmarsden | By the way, there is a big difference between "it doesn't work" and "I can't get it to install" :) | 23:15 |
| philip__ | Well the version that's currently available isn't supporting IOS 4.2.1 | 23:16 |
| jmarsden | OK. So you have two choices (a) wait for the newer version to be packaged or (b) package it yourself and install it :) | 23:18 |
| philip__ | How do i package? | 23:18 |
| jmarsden | Maybe also (c) persuade someone else to package the new version and then install their resulting package :) | 23:18 |
| jmarsden | You'd have a lot of learning to do... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete | 23:19 |
