[04:29] <GMH> how would i access sound settings in lubuntu?
[04:30] <bioterror> open terminal and run "alsamixer" without ""
[04:33] <GMH> oh okay, so there's nothing like a special sound settings thing.
[04:34] <bioterror> unfortunately not
[04:35] <GMH> well, actually, right now i'm trying to address the issue of sound being too quiet
[04:35] <GMH> which has been the case since i upgraded from like 7.04 to 10.04 (i'm currently on 10.10)
[04:35] <bioterror> with alsamixer you can check master, pcm and front
[04:36] <GMH> currently looking through varius ubuntuforums threads about this.  got any suggestions?  (or whether i should move this over to #ubuntu?)
[04:36] <GMH> yeah, they're all maxed.
[04:37] <bioterror> sounds rather weird that you have them maxed out and still quiet
[10:39] <nikin> hy. on the website i can only find lubuntu 10.10. But i would like to install something with longer support... is there a 10.4 available.. or is there a reson why i should go for 10.10
[10:39] <nikin> ?
[10:42] <head_victim> nikin: if it's for a desktop I would recommend the 10.10
[10:45] <nikin> head_victim: the problem is that the computer is not mine... so i will not be able to switch to 11.04 when it arrives.
[10:46] <head_victim> Yeah so if you can't update it wouldn't it be better to use the most up to date now stuff?
[10:47] <bioterror> 10.10 even looks better than 10.04 ;)
[10:49] <nikin> head_victim: there is sometihng called LTS... which means that you get security patches for a longer time period
[10:50] <head_victim> nikin: yes but if it's still running in 3+ years without and upgrade of any sort there are bound to be more problems than that
[10:55] <nikin> head_victim: updates are done.. just upgrades are not... and i do not plan to run it 3+ years... but i do not know when i get there for installation... when does the 10.10 support end?
[10:55] <head_victim> nikin: yes but all your programs will not be updated. Ubuntu only updates programs if there is a security reason
[11:06] <nikin> I know... but i dont know of any OS that has a stable rolling release. I do not know what is new in 10.10. I a still on 10.04 on my system. I just remember that it went out with several release critical bugs.. becouse of the haste

[13:27] <bioterror> something wrong with the package
[13:27] <davyde> first i install from a lubuntu.iso but ndiswrapper doesn't work

[13:33] <davyde> wait
[13:33] <bioterror> JoeMaverickSett, WAKEUP!
[13:33] <davyde> ghghghgh
[13:33] <silverarrow> are you experts in difficult network connections?
[13:33] <bioterror> silverarrow, what's difficult network connection
[13:34] <bioterror> except horrible PPPoE :D
[13:34] <silverarrow> I have installed lubuntu to an old laptop I  have
[13:35] <silverarrow> it works fine, and runs fast on a minimal system
[13:36] <silverarrow> I have plugged in a PCMCIA wireless that lubuntu seem to detect, it detects local network and lets me connect and asks for password, but never really connects
[13:36] <bioterror> is that network WEP or WPA?
[13:36] <silverarrow> the same PCMCIA card have I checked in my regular computer, Ubuntu Maveric, and it works fine
[13:36] <silverarrow> WPA
[13:37] <bioterror> hmm
[13:37] <silverarrow> At least it connects to WPA encryption code on the Ubuntu machine
[13:37] <bioterror> is it possible to test with WEP?
[13:38] <bioterror> but if it works with another computer without a problem
[13:38] <silverarrow> the laptop in question is a Packard Bell, originally came with Windows Millennium edt
[13:38] <bioterror> I cannot understand why it wouldnt with lubuntu then
[13:38] <silverarrow> yes it is possible and I have tried both
[13:38] <bioterror> I had few ZyXEL G-162 cards which had problems with WPA, but WEP worked just fine
[13:39] <silverarrow> the system tries to connect much longer when I use the WPA alternative
[13:39] <silverarrow> it's a small laptop, but heavy and bulky, with a diskette station
[13:40] <silverarrow> there's really no good reason it shouldn't connect?
[13:42] <silverarrow> I have to be off
[13:42] <bioterror> I cant figure it
[13:42] <silverarrow> I am fed up with computer issues
[13:42] <bioterror> as you said it connects without a problems with another computer
[13:42] <silverarrow> I need a brake :- )
[13:43] <silverarrow> yes, the PCMCIA card
[13:43] <silverarrow> weird really
[15:04] <bioterror> davyde, joe checks the synaptic
[15:06] <JoeMaverickSett> davyde: you still there?
[15:07]  * JoeMaverickSett comes to rescue you, buddy. :)
[15:07] <bioterror> did you check which file is that synaptic
[15:08] <JoeMaverickSett> synaptic.desktop? :D
[15:08] <bioterror> is it?
[15:08] <JoeMaverickSett> no? :\
[15:08] <bioterror> :D
[15:09]  * JoeMaverickSett dies.
[15:12]  * NRWlion is back
[18:07] <bioterror> tjena silverarrow
[18:07] <bioterror> did you got that midi working
[18:08] <silverarrow> hej bioterror
[18:08] <silverarrow> no not really
[18:09] <silverarrow> though I think it will go in the net eventually
[18:10] <silverarrow> weird about the connection really
[18:10] <bioterror> that pcmcia?-)
[18:11] <silverarrow> yes
[18:11] <silverarrow> I don't think it's the pcmcia card really
[18:12] <silverarrow> maybe I should give it a go now
[18:12] <silverarrow> and I am planning to rebuild the battery too
[18:13] <silverarrow> a bit silly, but I just watched a youtube video where several people replace the battery cells with a bit of soldering
[18:14] <bioterror> I have few camera batteries, would you like to fix them too? :D
[18:14] <silverarrow> lol
[18:14] <silverarrow> I could give it a try if it's regualar battery packs
[18:15] <silverarrow> the hardest bit is the plastic casing really, how to take it a part, and put it together again
[18:20] <bioterror> might be easier to check from ebay
[19:41] <leszek> hi
[19:59] <kevo> Hey I just installed lubuntu on a laptop and I was wondering how you can change what happens when you close the lid, push the power button, etc.
[19:59] <bioterror> unplug power cable
[19:59] <bioterror> you should get battery icon
[19:59] <bioterror> click that, and choose preferences
[20:00] <bioterror> there you will find certain tabs
[20:01] <kevo> thanks that did it
[20:01] <kevo> why isn't the icon always up?
[20:02] <bioterror> configure it to be always displayed
[20:02] <kevo> o ok thanks so much
[20:02] <kevo> have a good one
