[00:56] hi. anybody an idea how to install lubuntu on harddisk ? [00:57] 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] i installed it from cdrom to an usb stick. now i have lost the cd but still have the stick [00:58] now i want it on my harddisk but this item "install" is gone. [00:58] How hard would it be to download the ISO and burn a new CD? Do you have bandwidth issues that make that difficult? [00:59] well its 2am here, no stores open, no free usb stick, and tomorrow i have to show it :) [01:00] i know i am an idiot for looking the last cdrom *sogh* [01:01] so theres no package or so that i can just install to get the "installer" back? [01:02] I don't know, I'll try to find out... [01:02] I'm booting Lubuntu in a virtual machine right now to see... [01:02] thats very kind . thanks [01:08] 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... [01:09] oic [01:09] thanks [01:10] 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. [01:11] makes sense to me :) [01:11] but the tip with "ubiquity" was good. its not even installed. so that what i do now. [01:16] 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. [01:19] yup thats the plan. but everything painfull slow [01:20] 92%wait ... load 6 ... [01:20] i will report if it worked [01:20] OK :) [01:30] hmm running for 5 mins but just giving a white screen. i'l wait [01:30] Seems long... but OK. [01:32] this is an old p4 with 3ghz and 1gig ram... [01:32] ...but the usb stick seems to be very slow [01:32] yup now i got something on the screen. [01:33] ok. i think from here i can go allone. [01:33] thanks a lot for the tip "ubiquity"... if you know what u are searching for things are a lot easyer :) [01:34] good night [01:34] No problem! Have fun with Lubuntu, ask again in here if you get stuck :) [01:34] i will and again thanks. (u saved me :) ) === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett [06:34] Could someone answer some doubts mine, about lubuntu? like, is it possible to run gedit on it ? [06:36] Is it possible to run gedit on lubuntu just doing "sudo apt-get install gedit" ? === wolfpack is now known as wol === wol is now known as wolfpack [06:49] Could anyone tell me if lubuntu supports Gedit ? [06:49] Ciberglo: you can install gedit. yes. [06:49] i tried it just now. :D [06:49] just doing "sudo apt-get install gedit"? [06:50] yup [06:50] nice to hear it [06:50] i'm very excited to try out lubuntu [06:50] at this moment, I'm using ubuntu [06:50] but I'm sad with the ram used [06:50] Ciberglo: yeah, it's a great one. it's on my Vbox though. [06:50] and I use really often virtual machines on virtualbox [06:51] So, I realized I need a "light ram" distro [06:51] Ciberglo: lubuntu is pretty light. [06:51] JoeMaverickSett: Have you always used Lubuntu? If not, what was your previous distro and why you changed? [06:52] Ciberglo: i'm using vanilla Ubuntu, but i test Lubuntu on Vbox every now and then [06:52] i was using Windows previously [06:52] JoeMaverickSett: Nice to hear you swap to linux. But , what is vanilla Ubuntu ? [06:53] Ciberglo: it's the normal Ubuntu, using GNOME [06:53] oh, ok [06:53] Have you heard vbox released the 4. version? [06:53] Ciberglo: i'm using it. :D [06:53] JoeMaverickSett nice one [06:54] 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] Ciberglo: you could use leafpad instead. [06:55] it's the default text editor in lubuntu [06:55] i forgot to mention. :| [06:55] sorry [06:56] JoeMaverickSett: nice to hear, but I'm looking for gedit because of it's plugins. That I use to program (develop) [06:57] Ciberglo: ah, okie. :) [06:57] JoeMaverickSett: Because of it's plugins, gedit becomes almost like TextMate (Mac text editor, nice one to develop) [06:57] Ciberglo: any other support questions you might want to ask? otherwise we could hang out in #Lubuntu-offtopic. :) [06:57] Ciberglo: ah, i've that plugin on my gedit. :D [06:57] JoeMaverickSett: Sorry, I forgot that. I'm going there [07:21] 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? [07:30] Kutakizukari: Synaptic doesn't work for you?? [07:31] Kutakizukari: click on the bird button (lower left) then Preferences -> Synaptic Package Manager [07:32] jmarsden, yeah its working just wondering if the other could be installed. [07:32] You can install anything you want... but Synaptic can see the packages in sections too... Click on the Sections buton. [07:34] Kutakizukari: I think the one you are thinking of is called software-center ... but installing it may pull in other GNOME libraries etc... [07:35] jmarsden, thank you, is there a website that is like the software-center for looking through software? [07:36] Kutakizukari: Not exactly, but maybe http://packages.ubuntu.com is close? [07:36] jmarsden, based on different categories [07:36] jmarsden, will check it out, thanks. [07:36] You're welcome. [09:17] Hi all again. [09:17] Is there a tutorial to build lxde from source on ubuntu ? [18:25] hi gilir [18:27] hi bioterror [18:27] got your computer fixed? ;) [18:28] not yet :/ [18:53] gilir: what is broken ? [21:19] I accidentally deleted the icon that turns the computer on and off, how do I get it back? [21:24] On the bar below? [21:25] MrChrisDruif, yeah. [21:26] 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... [21:28] * kristian-aalborg puts lubuntu on the "new" T40 now [21:28] T40? [21:28] Thinkpad anno 2003 [21:29] it had XP on when I got it, and actually ran well... I take it it should fly with Lubuntu [21:31] I took 5 gb "aside" from another livecd [21:33] hi hajour [21:38] so, this is embarrasing.... can't remember how to auto-partition the remaining space [21:48] o/ kristian-aalborg [21:50] the installer got lean [21:52] fixing partitions when you pick username and such... that's rad [21:52] Which USB installer would you recommend to create a bootable USB? [21:52] unetbootin [21:52] using it right now, as a matter of fact [21:52] Want to put XBMC on a ION330...but the disk drive hasn't arrived yet :P [21:52] this is for lubuntu, right? [21:52] On (L)ubuntu? [21:52] I mean, it is lubuntu you want to install? [21:53] unetbootin failed me last week many times [21:53] No, I want to install XBMC [21:53] I tried it with linux and windows [21:53] I had to use Universal Usb Installer [21:53] And I've gotten similar experiences with unetbootin on ubuntu [21:53] bioterror: was the pen/device formatted to fat32 first? [21:53] kristian-aalborg, ofcourse [21:53] and ext2 and ext3 [21:54] And startup disk creator? [21:54] hmm... I've had mostly good experiences [21:54] kristian-aalborg, I used to have [21:54] but not this time [21:54] I got "Missing operating system" [21:54] what was the iso? not all things work, I hear [21:56] hmm... lubuntu said my machine was a T41 when it is a T40... should not matter much, I suppose? [21:57] kristian-aalborg: You've been upgraded with Lubuntu ;) [21:58] probably ;) [21:58] But Universal USB Installer it is? [21:58] that would be my choice [21:59] never tried anything but unetbootin and dd [21:59] the latter seems tricky to me, though [21:59] I cant figure out why only Arch supports dd [21:59] it's in *untu by default as well? [22:00] nope [22:00] it's in mint [22:00] Is it also for Ubuntu? [22:00] good for them [22:01] I'll check when I have the lubuntu install running... pretty sure I used it in ubuntu [22:01] dd is in coreutils in Ubuntu, should be in Lubuntu also. /bin/dd [22:02] but still dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb wont boot up [22:04] but I'm off to bed [22:04] gotta be up in ̃~5hours [22:05] 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. [22:06] ok, so this is novel... when lubuntu starts, it has the ugliest halo ever around the logo [22:06] yeah, well. Arch might be the only distribution which let's users to dd iso to usb stick [22:07] and even bootup :D [22:07] debian does as well, at least for some versions [22:07] I actually thought unetbooting was more or less a GUI for dd [22:07] no its not [22:07] it does some bootloader changes [22:08] appeareantly [22:08] and it uses 7zip for extracting [22:08] I thought it uzed lzha [22:09] never researched much into those dark arts, though ;) [22:24] is aptitude not in lubuntu by default?! [22:24] no it's not [22:24] why, if I may ask? [22:25] I cant find why it's better than apt [22:26] I don't know... some people say so, but I don't think I got an explanation [22:26] exactly :) [22:26] tomato, tomeito [22:27] Kadaffi ;) [22:31] Meh...tried unetbootin....it failed miserably :P [22:32] bugger [22:33] MrChrisDruif, suprised are: [22:33] MrChrisDruif, and: [22:33] MrChrisDruif, and even: [22:33] :D [22:33] bioterror: No, not really :D [22:34] I hoped against hope :P [22:34] hurm... which services should I lose on startup? [22:34] kristian-aalborg: All? [22:34] cryptdisks? ntp? [22:34] MrChrisDruif: that would probably speed things up, yes ;) [22:35] Yeah, you'd think :D [22:35] Who needs the kernel anyway? ;) [22:37] the new grub has commands for the HURD, I think [22:38] Yeah, grub has some kind of support for the HURD... [22:38] But you know what I mend, right? :P [22:41] what you mend? A broken jar, perhaps? :P [22:42] kristian-aalborg: Spell-checker says that ment isn't good <_<" [22:42] Just like atleast <_<" [22:43] m-e-a-n-t [22:43] ;) [22:43] God :( [22:43] :D [22:43] You've made my day :D [22:44] And "atleast"? [22:44] at least [22:46] Alright, always thought it was one word :P [22:49] bioterror: got any tweaks for the T40? [22:50] Hmmmm...Start up disk creator made an Lubuntu start up instead of XBMC :P [22:50] :D [22:53] 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] install arch [22:53] and put xbmc into .xinitrc [22:57] I was trying to use XBMC's live cd thing :P [22:57] Tromboon.ogg is kind of a mean file to get [22:58] it's among the first files google list for "ogg sample" [22:58] Tromboon.ogg? [22:58] :-/ [22:59] yes [22:59] it makes a hideous sound... I dl'd it to test and had full volume by accident [22:59] sounds like a psychotic elephant in your room ;) [23:00] But I like psychotic elephant's :D They calm my soul O:-) [23:04] only when you smoke them ;) [23:05] No, it's the sound for me :P
