[03:19] Hey [03:21] Hello jason__ [03:35] my xscreensaver locks up on certain screensavers, namely: m6502 apple2 xanalogtv (and similar) [03:35] suggestions? [03:36] disable them? [03:40] rtdos: I've had problems in the past on other flavours of ubuntu when I used to use screen savers (now I just use blank) when I wasn't using propriety video card drivers. So my first suggestion would be to try out a different video card driver and see if that helps [04:57] thx. i'll see if i can find another video card driver. :-\ === Unit1931 is now known as Unit193 [05:09] Hey there. Can someone give me some advice about a network connectivity issue? [05:10] Jason1: I can try [05:10] I've noticed a network issue with samba shares myself recently. [05:10] no problems for the last couple days until today when I configured opendns and now my connection goes down after 20 minutes or so [05:12] The whole connection or just the dns part? [05:12] (can you ping sites?) [05:13] Can you even ping other computers? [05:13] just a sec. that's ping xyz.com right? [05:14] 8.8.4.4 [05:14] for example [05:14] gotcha [05:15] Host unreachable [05:16] the little up/down icon at the botto says the connection is active though [05:17] What is the terminal call for the Version, i.e. Lubuntu 10.04.2? or like that? [05:18] lsb_release -rc [05:18] Thank you [05:19] thanks for command. It tells me 10.10 maverick [05:19] bioterror: I was forgetting the _ part [05:20] ive eaten my omega-3's [05:20] gotta stock up on your fish oils [05:21] and flax seed [05:21] I eat fish almost every day. [05:22] I will eat more when I get my 'new' sailing boat. [05:23] fish is expensive :( [05:26] Naw, the boats are expensive, the fish are easy. === szczur_ is now known as szczur [14:59] :-) [15:04] :)) === peregrinator_six is now known as dial_up_br [15:31] I configured opendns this morning and now my connection keeps dropping after 10 or 20 minutes of use. Any ideas on how to diagnose the issue? [15:41] Jason1: Sorry, opendns is working properly with me [15:41] you're sorry? [15:42] it's ok man. I just want to know how I might have messed things up if I did cause the problem that way [15:43] Where did you set up opendns, router or ubuntu itself? [15:43] ubuntu. I can't access the router. No password [15:44] sorry, Jason1, opendns is working for me too. [15:46] No need for apologies. I'm not suggesting opendns is down. I'm saying I think I might have broken something when I was configuring my computer for it [15:46] You followed opendns's instructions? [15:46] Yes [15:47] The first time I've ever had a problem with a computer after setting up opendns [15:47] hi [15:47] I have a critical error that might ruin the whole lubuntu installation [15:48] Lubuntu is stuck in package manager, during installation of critical packages, [15:49] I cannot find any equivalent of system monitor to kill of the program [15:49] so any suggestions of why the connection works for a while and then goes down? [15:56] Jason1: I don't know....

[16:25] I mean, no easy solution [16:25] are you installing lubuntu [16:26] or running lubuntu and the software upgrade or something is stuck [16:26] no, I did that yesterday, to day I only used package manager for restriced extra [16:26] yes, only synaptic package manager [16:27] sudo killall synaptic [16:27] if it was only installation I could start all over [16:27] sudo apt-get update [16:28] no process found [16:28] yohoo [16:28] synaptic went [16:28] not in sight anymore [16:28] thank you !!!!

[18:42] you can choose it from the login menu, if I recall right [18:42] but I think lubuntu itself is suitable for the netbooks [18:43] yeah but I'm searching for something with a more portable feel.. [18:43] I've got this old laptop here and it doesn't run jolicloud since version 1.1 released [18:43] try mobile phone? :D [18:43] iPad? :D [18:43] so I moved to ubuntu netbook but it's darn slow.. [18:43] bioterror: I'm seriously considering android :p [18:44] or meego (maybe..) [18:44] Also I hate the fact that joli gets more and more closed.. [18:44] they don't have any other browser in there app center then chrome for instance.. [18:45] and since they are based on jaunty I can't get XBMC on it -_-' [18:45] got another OS in mind?
