| hopeless | hi. anybody an idea how to install lubuntu on harddisk ? | 00:56 |
|---|---|---|
| jmarsden | hopeless: Boot from the CD, and select the Install item from the menu... then click through a few GUI screens of the installer... are you having a specific issue? | 00:57 |
| hopeless | i installed it from cdrom to an usb stick. now i have lost the cd but still have the stick | 00:57 |
| hopeless | now i want it on my harddisk but this item "install" is gone. | 00:58 |
| jmarsden | How hard would it be to download the ISO and burn a new CD? Do you have bandwidth issues that make that difficult? | 00:58 |
| hopeless | well its 2am here, no stores open, no free usb stick, and tomorrow i have to show it :) | 00:59 |
| hopeless | i know i am an idiot for looking the last cdrom *sogh* | 01:00 |
| hopeless | so theres no package or so that i can just install to get the "installer" back? | 01:01 |
| jmarsden | I don't know, I'll try to find out... | 01:02 |
| jmarsden | I'm booting Lubuntu in a virtual machine right now to see... | 01:02 |
| hopeless | thats very kind . thanks | 01:02 |
| jmarsden | Taking longer than it should, virtualbox is giving me fits... trying on a real machine instead. I think that shortcut is just to a way of running ubiquity, the Ubutnu installer... if I can find out exactly what it does, you might be able to just type in that command to start the install process... | 01:08 |
| hopeless | oic | 01:09 |
| hopeless | thanks | 01:09 |
| jmarsden | That incon is not there on an already installed version of Lubuntu, so people do not accidentally install over the top of an already working copy... at least, I think that's why. | 01:10 |
| hopeless | makes sense to me :) | 01:11 |
| hopeless | but the tip with "ubiquity" was good. its not even installed. so that what i do now. | 01:11 |
| jmarsden | Right. The icon in the live CD is a .desktop file... I think you can just run ubiquity gtk_ui once you have ubiquity installed. | 01:16 |
| hopeless | yup thats the plan. but everything painfull slow | 01:19 |
| hopeless | 92%wait ... load 6 ... | 01:20 |
| hopeless | i will report if it worked | 01:20 |
| jmarsden | OK :) | 01:20 |
| hopeless | hmm running for 5 mins but just giving a white screen. i'l wait | 01:30 |
| jmarsden | Seems long... but OK. | 01:30 |
| hopeless | this is an old p4 with 3ghz and 1gig ram... | 01:32 |
| hopeless | ...but the usb stick seems to be very slow | 01:32 |
| hopeless | yup now i got something on the screen. | 01:32 |
| hopeless | ok. i think from here i can go allone. | 01:33 |
| hopeless | thanks a lot for the tip "ubiquity"... if you know what u are searching for things are a lot easyer :) | 01:33 |
| hopeless | good night | 01:34 |
| jmarsden | No problem! Have fun with Lubuntu, ask again in here if you get stuck :) | 01:34 |
| hopeless | i will and again thanks. (u saved me :) ) | 01:34 |

| Ciberglo | Could someone answer some doubts mine, about lubuntu? like, is it possible to run gedit on it ? | 06:34 |
| Ciberglo | Is it possible to run gedit on lubuntu just doing "sudo apt-get install gedit" ? | 06:36 |
| === wolfpack is now known as wol | ||
| === wol is now known as wolfpack | ||
| Ciberglo | Could anyone tell me if lubuntu supports Gedit ? | 06:49 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Ciberglo: you can install gedit. yes. | 06:49 |
| JoeMaverickSett | i tried it just now. :D | 06:49 |
| Ciberglo | just doing "sudo apt-get install gedit"? | 06:49 |
| JoeMaverickSett | yup | 06:50 |
| Ciberglo | nice to hear it | 06:50 |
| Ciberglo | i'm very excited to try out lubuntu | 06:50 |
| Ciberglo | at this moment, I'm using ubuntu | 06:50 |
| Ciberglo | but I'm sad with the ram used | 06:50 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Ciberglo: yeah, it's a great one. it's on my Vbox though. | 06:50 |
| Ciberglo | and I use really often virtual machines on virtualbox | 06:50 |
| Ciberglo | So, I realized I need a "light ram" distro | 06:51 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Ciberglo: lubuntu is pretty light. | 06:51 |
| Ciberglo | JoeMaverickSett: Have you always used Lubuntu? If not, what was your previous distro and why you changed? | 06:51 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Ciberglo: i'm using vanilla Ubuntu, but i test Lubuntu on Vbox every now and then | 06:52 |
| JoeMaverickSett | i was using Windows previously | 06:52 |
| Ciberglo | JoeMaverickSett: Nice to hear you swap to linux. But , what is vanilla Ubuntu ? | 06:52 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Ciberglo: it's the normal Ubuntu, using GNOME | 06:53 |
| Ciberglo | oh, ok | 06:53 |
| Ciberglo | Have you heard vbox released the 4. version? | 06:53 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Ciberglo: i'm using it. :D | 06:53 |
| Ciberglo | JoeMaverickSett nice one | 06:53 |
| Ciberglo | JoeMaverickSett: thank you to pay attention on my doubt. I was looking on google, but every result I found was teaching another thing and asking to open some text on gedit | 06:54 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Ciberglo: you could use leafpad instead. | 06:54 |
| JoeMaverickSett | it's the default text editor in lubuntu | 06:55 |
| JoeMaverickSett | i forgot to mention. :| | 06:55 |
| JoeMaverickSett | sorry | 06:55 |
| Ciberglo | JoeMaverickSett: nice to hear, but I'm looking for gedit because of it's plugins. That I use to program (develop) | 06:56 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Ciberglo: ah, okie. :) | 06:57 |
| Ciberglo | JoeMaverickSett: Because of it's plugins, gedit becomes almost like TextMate (Mac text editor, nice one to develop) | 06:57 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Ciberglo: any other support questions you might want to ask? otherwise we could hang out in #Lubuntu-offtopic. :) | 06:57 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Ciberglo: ah, i've that plugin on my gedit. :D | 06:57 |
| Ciberglo | JoeMaverickSett: Sorry, I forgot that. I'm going there | 06:57 |
| Kutakizukari | Just installed Lubuntu, like how it runs on my Compaq Presario V2000. I did have Ubuntu on it but it was a ram hog. Can Lubuntu get the software manager like Ubuntu has to pick from categories? | 07:21 |
| jmarsden | Kutakizukari: Synaptic doesn't work for you?? | 07:30 |
| jmarsden | Kutakizukari: click on the bird button (lower left) then Preferences -> Synaptic Package Manager | 07:31 |
| Kutakizukari | jmarsden, yeah its working just wondering if the other could be installed. | 07:32 |
| jmarsden | You can install anything you want... but Synaptic can see the packages in sections too... Click on the Sections buton. | 07:32 |
| jmarsden | Kutakizukari: I think the one you are thinking of is called software-center ... but installing it may pull in other GNOME libraries etc... | 07:34 |
| Kutakizukari | jmarsden, thank you, is there a website that is like the software-center for looking through software? | 07:35 |
| jmarsden | Kutakizukari: Not exactly, but maybe http://packages.ubuntu.com is close? | 07:36 |
| Kutakizukari | jmarsden, based on different categories | 07:36 |
| Kutakizukari | jmarsden, will check it out, thanks. | 07:36 |
| jmarsden | You're welcome. | 07:36 |
| Ciberglo | Hi all again. | 09:17 |
| Ciberglo | Is there a tutorial to build lxde from source on ubuntu ? | 09:17 |
| bioterror | hi gilir | 18:25 |
| gilir | hi bioterror | 18:27 |
| bioterror | got your computer fixed? ;) | 18:27 |
| gilir | not yet :/ | 18:28 |
| UndiFineD | gilir: what is broken ? | 18:53 |
| Kutakizukari | I accidentally deleted the icon that turns the computer on and off, how do I get it back? | 21:19 |
| MrChrisDruif | On the bar below? | 21:24 |
| Kutakizukari | MrChrisDruif, yeah. | 21:25 |
| MrChrisDruif | I would think (not sure and can't test it) but right click on the bar and go to properties (or "add to panel" if that's available) and search for it there...otherwise I wouldn't know... | 21:26 |
| * kristian-aalborg puts lubuntu on the "new" T40 now | 21:28 | |
| MrChrisDruif | T40? | 21:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | Thinkpad anno 2003 | 21:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | it had XP on when I got it, and actually ran well... I take it it should fly with Lubuntu | 21:29 |
| kristian-aalborg | I took 5 gb "aside" from another livecd | 21:31 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi hajour | 21:33 |
| kristian-aalborg | so, this is embarrasing.... can't remember how to auto-partition the remaining space | 21:38 |
| hajour | o/ kristian-aalborg | 21:48 |
| kristian-aalborg | the installer got lean | 21:50 |
| kristian-aalborg | fixing partitions when you pick username and such... that's rad | 21:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | Which USB installer would you recommend to create a bootable USB? | 21:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | unetbootin | 21:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | using it right now, as a matter of fact | 21:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | Want to put XBMC on a ION330...but the disk drive hasn't arrived yet :P | 21:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | this is for lubuntu, right? | 21:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | On (L)ubuntu? | 21:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | I mean, it is lubuntu you want to install? | 21:52 |
| bioterror | unetbootin failed me last week many times | 21:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | No, I want to install XBMC | 21:53 |
| bioterror | I tried it with linux and windows | 21:53 |
| bioterror | I had to use Universal Usb Installer | 21:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | And I've gotten similar experiences with unetbootin on ubuntu | 21:53 |
| kristian-aalborg | bioterror: was the pen/device formatted to fat32 first? | 21:53 |
| bioterror | kristian-aalborg, ofcourse | 21:53 |
| bioterror | and ext2 and ext3 | 21:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | And startup disk creator? | 21:54 |
| kristian-aalborg | hmm... I've had mostly good experiences | 21:54 |
| bioterror | kristian-aalborg, I used to have | 21:54 |
| bioterror | but not this time | 21:54 |
| bioterror | I got "Missing operating system" | 21:54 |
| kristian-aalborg | what was the iso? not all things work, I hear | 21:54 |
| kristian-aalborg | hmm... lubuntu said my machine was a T41 when it is a T40... should not matter much, I suppose? | 21:56 |
| MrChrisDruif | kristian-aalborg: You've been upgraded with Lubuntu ;) | 21:57 |
| kristian-aalborg | probably ;) | 21:58 |
| MrChrisDruif | But Universal USB Installer it is? | 21:58 |
| bioterror | that would be my choice | 21:58 |
| kristian-aalborg | never tried anything but unetbootin and dd | 21:59 |
| kristian-aalborg | the latter seems tricky to me, though | 21:59 |
| bioterror | I cant figure out why only Arch supports dd | 21:59 |
| kristian-aalborg | it's in *untu by default as well? | 21:59 |
| bioterror | nope | 22:00 |
| kristian-aalborg | it's in mint | 22:00 |
| MrChrisDruif | Is it also for Ubuntu? | 22:00 |
| bioterror | good for them | 22:00 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'll check when I have the lubuntu install running... pretty sure I used it in ubuntu | 22:01 |
| jmarsden | dd is in coreutils in Ubuntu, should be in Lubuntu also. /bin/dd | 22:01 |
| bioterror | but still dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb wont boot up | 22:02 |
| bioterror | but I'm off to bed | 22:04 |
| bioterror | gotta be up in ̃~5hours | 22:04 |
| jmarsden | bioterror: Ah, so that's not "Ubuntu doesn't support dd", that's the ISO for Ubuntu not being bootable directly from USB. Not an issue with dd at all. | 22:05 |
| kristian-aalborg | ok, so this is novel... when lubuntu starts, it has the ugliest halo ever around the logo | 22:06 |
| bioterror | yeah, well. Arch might be the only distribution which let's users to dd iso to usb stick | 22:06 |
| bioterror | and even bootup :D | 22:07 |
| kristian-aalborg | debian does as well, at least for some versions | 22:07 |
| kristian-aalborg | I actually thought unetbooting was more or less a GUI for dd | 22:07 |
| bioterror | no its not | 22:07 |
| bioterror | it does some bootloader changes | 22:07 |
| kristian-aalborg | appeareantly | 22:08 |
| bioterror | and it uses 7zip for extracting | 22:08 |
| kristian-aalborg | I thought it uzed lzha | 22:08 |
| kristian-aalborg | never researched much into those dark arts, though ;) | 22:09 |
| kristian-aalborg | is aptitude not in lubuntu by default?! | 22:24 |
| bioterror | no it's not | 22:24 |
| kristian-aalborg | why, if I may ask? | 22:24 |
| bioterror | I cant find why it's better than apt | 22:25 |
| kristian-aalborg | I don't know... some people say so, but I don't think I got an explanation | 22:26 |
| bioterror | exactly :) | 22:26 |
| bioterror | tomato, tomeito | 22:26 |
| kristian-aalborg | Kadaffi ;) | 22:27 |
| MrChrisDruif | Meh...tried unetbootin....it failed miserably :P | 22:31 |
| kristian-aalborg | bugger | 22:32 |
| bioterror | MrChrisDruif, suprised are: | 22:33 |
| bioterror | MrChrisDruif, and: | 22:33 |
| bioterror | MrChrisDruif, and even: | 22:33 |
| bioterror | :D | 22:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | bioterror: No, not really :D | 22:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | I hoped against hope :P | 22:34 |
| kristian-aalborg | hurm... which services should I lose on startup? | 22:34 |
| MrChrisDruif | kristian-aalborg: All? | 22:34 |
| kristian-aalborg | cryptdisks? ntp? | 22:34 |
| kristian-aalborg | MrChrisDruif: that would probably speed things up, yes ;) | 22:34 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yeah, you'd think :D | 22:35 |
| MrChrisDruif | Who needs the kernel anyway? ;) | 22:35 |
| kristian-aalborg | the new grub has commands for the HURD, I think | 22:37 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yeah, grub has some kind of support for the HURD... | 22:38 |
| MrChrisDruif | But you know what I mend, right? :P | 22:38 |
| kristian-aalborg | what you mend? A broken jar, perhaps? :P | 22:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | kristian-aalborg: Spell-checker says that ment isn't good <_<" | 22:42 |
| MrChrisDruif | Just like atleast <_<" | 22:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | m-e-a-n-t | 22:43 |
| kristian-aalborg | ;) | 22:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | God :( | 22:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | :D | 22:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | You've made my day :D | 22:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | And "atleast"? | 22:44 |
| kristian-aalborg | at least | 22:44 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright, always thought it was one word :P | 22:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | bioterror: got any tweaks for the T40? | 22:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hmmmm...Start up disk creator made an Lubuntu start up instead of XBMC :P | 22:50 |
| bioterror | :D | 22:50 |
| MrChrisDruif | I know you like it....but it's going to be a Media Center PC for my parents...I just want XMBC on it....maybe with OpenSSH etc :P | 22:53 |
| bioterror | install arch | 22:53 |
| bioterror | and put xbmc into .xinitrc | 22:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | I was trying to use XBMC's live cd thing :P | 22:57 |
| kristian-aalborg | Tromboon.ogg is kind of a mean file to get | 22:57 |
| kristian-aalborg | it's among the first files google list for "ogg sample" | 22:58 |
| MrChrisDruif | Tromboon.ogg? | 22:58 |
| MrChrisDruif | :-/ | 22:58 |
| kristian-aalborg | yes | 22:59 |
| kristian-aalborg | it makes a hideous sound... I dl'd it to test and had full volume by accident | 22:59 |
| kristian-aalborg | sounds like a psychotic elephant in your room ;) | 22:59 |
| MrChrisDruif | But I like psychotic elephant's :D They calm my soul O:-) | 23:00 |
| kristian-aalborg | only when you smoke them ;) | 23:04 |
| MrChrisDruif | No, it's the sound for me :P | 23:05 |
