[04:29] how would i access sound settings in lubuntu? [04:30] open terminal and run "alsamixer" without "" [04:33] oh okay, so there's nothing like a special sound settings thing. [04:34] unfortunately not [04:35] well, actually, right now i'm trying to address the issue of sound being too quiet [04:35] which has been the case since i upgraded from like 7.04 to 10.04 (i'm currently on 10.10) [04:35] with alsamixer you can check master, pcm and front [04:36] currently looking through varius ubuntuforums threads about this. got any suggestions? (or whether i should move this over to #ubuntu?) [04:36] yeah, they're all maxed. [04:37] sounds rather weird that you have them maxed out and still quiet === ProperN[out] is now known as ProperNoun === ProperN[out] is now known as ProperNoun [10:39] 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] ? [10:42] nikin: if it's for a desktop I would recommend the 10.10 [10:45] 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] Yeah so if you can't update it wouldn't it be better to use the most up to date now stuff? [10:47] 10.10 even looks better than 10.04 ;) [10:49] head_victim: there is sometihng called LTS... which means that you get security patches for a longer time period [10:50] 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] 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] nikin: yes but all your programs will not be updated. Ubuntu only updates programs if there is a security reason [11:06] 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 [12:19] hi [12:50] hi [12:55] hi Mkaysi [12:55] Hi silverarrow [12:58] how are youi [12:58] I have installed lubuntu on a l aptop [13:01] hi propenoun [13:06] anyone that knows jack?

[13:33] wait [13:33] JoeMaverickSett, WAKEUP! [13:33] ghghghgh [13:33] are you experts in difficult network connections? [13:33] silverarrow, what's difficult network connection [13:34] except horrible PPPoE :D [13:34] I have installed lubuntu to an old laptop I have [13:35] it works fine, and runs fast on a minimal system [13:36] 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] is that network WEP or WPA? [13:36] the same PCMCIA card have I checked in my regular computer, Ubuntu Maveric, and it works fine [13:36] WPA [13:37] hmm [13:37] At least it connects to WPA encryption code on the Ubuntu machine [13:37] is it possible to test with WEP? [13:38] but if it works with another computer without a problem [13:38] the laptop in question is a Packard Bell, originally came with Windows Millennium edt [13:38] I cannot understand why it wouldnt with lubuntu then [13:38] yes it is possible and I have tried both [13:38] I had few ZyXEL G-162 cards which had problems with WPA, but WEP worked just fine [13:39] the system tries to connect much longer when I use the WPA alternative [13:39] it's a small laptop, but heavy and bulky, with a diskette station [13:40] there's really no good reason it shouldn't connect? [13:42] I have to be off [13:42] I cant figure it [13:42] I am fed up with computer issues [13:42] as you said it connects without a problems with another computer [13:42] I need a brake :- ) [13:43] yes, the PCMCIA card [13:43] weird really [15:04] davyde, joe checks the synaptic [15:06] davyde: you still there? [15:07] * JoeMaverickSett comes to rescue you, buddy. :) [15:07] did you check which file is that synaptic [15:08] synaptic.desktop? :D [15:08] is it? [15:08] no? :\ [15:08] :D [15:09] * JoeMaverickSett dies. [15:12] * NRWlion is back === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as M0hi [18:07] tjena silverarrow [18:07] did you got that midi working [18:08] hej bioterror [18:08] no not really [18:09] though I think it will go in the net eventually [18:10] weird about the connection really [18:10] that pcmcia?-) [18:11] yes [18:11] I don't think it's the pcmcia card really [18:12] maybe I should give it a go now [18:12] and I am planning to rebuild the battery too [18:13] a bit silly, but I just watched a youtube video where several people replace the battery cells with a bit of soldering [18:14] I have few camera batteries, would you like to fix them too? :D [18:14] lol [18:14] I could give it a try if it's regualar battery packs [18:15] the hardest bit is the plastic casing really, how to take it a part, and put it together again [18:20] might be easier to check from ebay === ProperN[out] is now known as ProperNoun [19:41] hi === T44 is now known as Topy44 [19:59] 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] unplug power cable [19:59] you should get battery icon [19:59] click that, and choose preferences [20:00] there you will find certain tabs [20:01] thanks that did it [20:01] why isn't the icon always up? [20:02] configure it to be always displayed [20:02] o ok thanks so much [20:02] have a good one
