| jasono | Hi. How do I remove Kubuntu if I have that and Ubuntu installed together? | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| MrChrisDruif | jasono: USC > kubuntu-desktop remove | 00:32 |
| jasono | usI don't understand MrChrisDruif | 00:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | USC = Ubuntu Software Center :) | 00:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | Or sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop should work as well...s/purge/autoremove if you want to keep the config files (don't do it ;)) | 00:34 |
| jasono | So sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop on Ubuntu? | 00:34 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yeah, why not? | 00:34 |
| MrChrisDruif | You are ubuntu right? | 00:35 |
| jasono | Yeah. | 00:35 |
| jasono | Want to keep Ubuntu but remove Ubuntu. | 00:35 |
| MrChrisDruif | Well....removing kubuntu should give no problem afaik | 00:35 |
| MrChrisDruif | *remove Kubuntu* | 00:35 |
| jasono | Thank you. | 00:36 |
| MrChrisDruif | Your welcome :) | 00:36 |

| c-unit | can u tell me if i can create the dev/mixer file? | 03:05 |
| jwhisnant | how can I change the maverick netbook desktop theme look and feel back to the one from lucid ? or can I ? | 03:07 |
| aveilleux | c-unit: The /dev/mixer file is a "pseudo-file"... that is, it's not really a "file" per se, but a representation of the mixer hardware in the file system. | 03:07 |
| aveilleux | jwhisnant: On login, after clicking your name, select "GNOME" in the "Sessions" dropdown (Instead of Unity) | 03:07 |
| c-unit | and what can i do if a program is askinf for it | 03:08 |
| aveilleux | c-unit: Which program? | 03:08 |
| c-unit | conky | 03:08 |
| c-unit | to use the mixer variables | 03:08 |
| aveilleux | c-unit: I know next to nothing about conky, but I suspect that if you don't have a /dev/mixer then your audio hardware doesn't support the methods that conky uses | 03:09 |
| aveilleux | c-unit: There's also /dev/audio | 03:09 |
| c-unit | i dont have dev/audio | 03:10 |
| jwhisnant | aveilleux, not an option | 03:10 |
| aveilleux | c-unit: Not dev/audio, /dev/audio | 03:10 |
| c-unit | no | 03:10 |
| aveilleux | c-unit: ...is your audio hardware installed/working? | 03:11 |
| c-unit | yes | 03:11 |
| c-unit | everithing is working | 03:11 |
| jwhisnant | aveilleux, ubuntu desktop, netbook 2d, netbook edition - i think the gnome session gives the gnome desktop instead of netbook version | 03:13 |
| jwhisnant | aveilleux, but i will look again ... | 03:13 |
| aveilleux | jwhisnant: Oh, oh, you want the older Netbook interface... I don't know about that, sorry | 03:14 |
| jwhisnant | aveilleux, exactly, doing a media center setup, so the desktop is a little small, but works better than the new 10.10 netbook theme, at least for me | 03:15 |
| r4y | Hello | 03:27 |
| ddecator | hey r4 | 03:27 |
| ddecator | r4y* | 03:27 |
| r4y | I am wondering, would my modem and not just my router be set to a certain channel? | 03:29 |
| r4y | Everytime our phone is being used my internet connection drops | 03:29 |
| r4y | which is a wireless phone hooked into the landline | 03:30 |
| r4y | I should try changing the channel my router is using. | 03:30 |
| r4y | I originally changed channels because routers are set to channel 6 so I set my router to channel 1 | 03:31 |
| r4y | I meant routers are set by default to channel 6 | 03:31 |
| r4y | So back to my question to make it more clear: | 03:32 |
| r4y | Are modems set to a channel?, I would guess so. | 03:32 |
| r4y | I should try to find out what channel our wireless phone uses | 03:33 |
| ddecator | so you think the wireless is interfering? | 03:33 |
| r4y | I should also look at where I put the filter I put on for Majic Jack which we aren't using anymore | 03:34 |
| r4y | yes | 03:34 |
| r4y | We bought a cheap filter, but that couldn't be it because I can torrent as much as I did before. | 03:35 |
| r4y | I am going to look | 03:35 |
| ddecator | the router should function within a specified frequency range, which should interfere with any other wireless devices (unless there are a bunch of routers in the area). not really sure why a wireless phone would cause the connection to drop (i don't know off-hand what frequency range each is required by law to use) | 03:35 |
| ddecator | which shouldn't interfere with any other wireless devices* | 03:35 |
| c-unit | how can i compile a kernel? | 04:03 |
| head_victim | c-unit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile is a good place to start. Never tried myself though | 04:04 |
| c-unit | thnks i'll give it a try | 04:05 |
| sdollins | hihi. | 04:29 |
| sdollins | I was here whining about my laptop randomly pasting a while back. | 04:29 |
| sdollins | I have discovered the problem i believe. | 04:29 |
| bioterror | I can recall | 04:29 |
| sdollins | It is middle clicking :( | 04:30 |
| bioterror | yes it is | 04:30 |
| bioterror | that's default settings in X | 04:30 |
| bioterror | :D | 04:30 |
| sdollins | I have no clue why though lol. | 04:30 |
| aveilleux | sdollins: Yeah, middle-click's been the default paste behavior in BASH for a while | 04:30 |
| bioterror | if you just select with your mouse some text, it will be copied to X's clipboard and middle button pastes | 04:30 |
| bioterror | aveilleux, bash? | 04:30 |
| sdollins | Well that's not the problem, I'm aware it does that. | 04:30 |
| sdollins | I just don't know why it's middle clicking. | 04:31 |
| aveilleux | bioterror: I've noticed that behavior when SSH'ing as well. | 04:31 |
| aveilleux | sdollins: It's traditionally been the shortcut. | 04:31 |
| sdollins | It seems to do it when I touch the touchpad in a very weird way. | 04:31 |
| bioterror | aveilleux, you paste text randomly to irc or what? | 04:31 |
| sdollins | which i happen to do while typing hehe. | 04:31 |
| aveilleux | bioterror: I don't randomly paste, I just middle-click to paste lol | 04:32 |
| bioterror | aveilleux, what that has to do with bash or ssh? | 04:32 |
| aveilleux | sdollins: Are you using regular Ubuntu? Or a variant like K/Xubuntu? | 04:32 |
| sdollins | Ubuntu | 04:32 |
| sdollins | Is there a way to just disable middle click? | 04:32 |
| aveilleux | bioterror: That's the behavior it exhibits. Even older AIX machines do it. | 04:32 |
| bioterror | aveilleux, as I said: it's in the X11 | 04:32 |
| aveilleux | sdollins: Yep. hang on while I boot my laptop, it's the one that has the program installed | 04:33 |
| sdollins | oki :> | 04:33 |
| aveilleux | bioterror: The AIX boxes in question are not running X11. | 04:33 |
| sdollins | I love this channel <3 | 04:33 |
| bioterror | aveilleux, their graphical envinroment uses the same feature | 04:33 |
| aveilleux | bioterror: There is no graphical environment. | 04:33 |
| seidos | sdollins: me too :) | 04:33 |
| sdollins | If the netsplits didn't make me crazy, I'd idle here. | 04:34 |
| bioterror | aveilleux, did you GPM pastes too from the mouse button #3 | 04:34 |
| bioterror | you know | 04:34 |
| seidos | are the netsplits that bad? i don't even notice them | 04:34 |
| sdollins | Well in the bigger channels, yes. | 04:35 |
| bioterror | this is a small channel | 04:35 |
| bioterror | only 68 | 04:35 |
| sdollins | Yes, I see that now. | 04:35 |
| sdollins | #ubuntu is like awful when they happen. | 04:35 |
| aveilleux | sdollins: Install the gpointing-device-settings package | 04:35 |
| aveilleux | sdollins: It'll be under System > Preferences > Pointing Devices | 04:36 |
| sdollins | thank you very much | 04:36 |
| sdollins | I don't see a setting for middle click o.o | 04:38 |
| r4y | Hello | 06:11 |
| r4y | My internet connection is bad | 06:11 |
| r4y | I just don't know what to do | 06:11 |
| r4y | I just went into my router to change the channel to channel 11 | 06:12 |
| r4y | However, 2.4GHz is the channel the wireless phone uses | 06:12 |
| r4y | I am wondering about tomato as replacement for the firmware on my Linksys wireless router | 06:13 |
| r4y | Can it change to an even higher channel? | 06:14 |
| r4y | My router is a WRT64G | 06:14 |
| r4y | linksys router | 06:14 |
| aveilleux | r4y: It'd be a lot easier to just get a 5.2GHz phone | 06:14 |
| aveilleux | r4y: All modern cordless phones operate on a different frequency than wireless network devices | 06:15 |
| r4y | Hmm, I wonder if we have a wireless phone for that frequency. | 06:15 |
| aveilleux | r4y: All phones made in the past five years operate on that frequency. | 06:15 |
| r4y | So, it must be an older phone then | 06:15 |
| aveilleux | r4y: Go to Radioshack or something anf get a new one | 06:16 |
| r4y | Thank you for telling me | 06:16 |
| r4y | It's raining here | 06:16 |
| seidos | i have an older phone that works fine | 06:16 |
| seidos | too bad you couldn't save your money | 06:16 |
| bioterror | r4y, I hope not men :D | 06:16 |
| r4y | I don't the joke? | 06:17 |
| r4y | I don't get the joke? | 06:17 |
| r4y | It's not raining men | 06:18 |
| r4y | you must be talking about the song, LOL | 06:18 |
| bioterror | yep :D | 06:18 |
| r4y | I hope it's not raining women either, poor women | 06:18 |
| r4y | or cats. Rarrr!, hisss | 06:19 |
| bioterror | :D | 06:20 |
| r4y | As for filters. We have a splitter that has a wire running from it to the modem, and the other wire from the splitter goes to the phone and between the phone and the splitter we have a filter for the phone. | 06:23 |
| r4y | I tried this command and it didn't help me earlier:"sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" | 06:24 |
| r4y | I guess that command with be useful at another time | 06:24 |
| bioterror | you can do it nowdays: sudo service networking restart" ;) | 06:25 |
| bioterror | that's "ubuntu way" :D | 06:25 |
| r4y | Without the *star* | 06:25 |
| r4y | oo[ps | 06:25 |
| r4y | oops | 06:25 |
| bioterror | oh without " | 06:26 |
| r4y | sorry that is a quote | 06:26 |
| bioterror | :D | 06:26 |
| r4y | OK, great I will save that as the other way | 06:26 |
| r4y | Great | 06:26 |
| r4y | Thank you | 06:27 |
| r4y | I even made note that one is the linux way and the other is the ubuntu way. | 06:28 |
| r4y | Ubuntu is great | 06:28 |
| r4y | Linux is great | 06:28 |
| r4y | Distros are us | 06:28 |
| r4y | just kidding | 06:28 |
| r4y | sorry for being corny | 06:29 |
| r4y | That will be useful to me | 06:30 |
| seidos | it's cool that you're enthusiastic :D | 06:31 |
| r4y | What OS does duanedesign use?, I would he has Ubuntu, but under his commands for the program CLI Companion he had the command I posted. | 06:32 |
| seidos | sudo service networking restart was probably just added | 06:32 |
| r4y | OK | 06:32 |
| seidos | to like 10.10 or something | 06:32 |
| r4y | Well, I am using 10.04 but OK | 06:33 |
| seidos | whatever works r4y | 06:33 |
| seidos | if sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart works, then keep using it | 06:33 |
| r4y | OK | 06:33 |
| r4y | I want to know more about flooding | 06:34 |
| seidos | why? | 06:34 |
| seidos | is there a problem with floods where you live? | 06:34 |
| r4y | I didn't completely get what MrChris was trying to tell me | 06:34 |
| r4y | No, I meant on IRC | 06:34 |
| seidos | flooding is just sending too much text over IRC | 06:34 |
| r4y | Does that include post a single line that is a link to a pastebin | 06:35 |
| seidos | r4y: do you think it includes that? | 06:35 |
| r4y | Does pastebin get flooded? | 06:35 |
| seidos | i believe not | 06:36 |
| r4y | He seemed to disagree with what I was saying and I just stated what you said. Maybe I just didn't word it right | 06:37 |
| r4y | That was yesterday | 06:37 |
| r4y | You guys are all cool. I just wanted to make sure my understanding is right | 06:38 |
| seidos | you seem to be doing fine to me. | 06:39 |
| seidos | i'm not sure why you're so worried about it. | 06:39 |
| seidos | did you accidently flood and people flip out? | 06:39 |
| r4y | Thank you. | 06:39 |
| seidos | floods, quakes, tornados...dogs and cats sleeping together, human sacrifice, mass hysteria! | 06:40 |
| seidos | joke :D | 06:40 |
| r4y | He suggested to go to some other channel and he was really cool about it. | 06:40 |
| r4y | It was on Freenode I think | 06:40 |
| r4y | LOL | 06:40 |
| r4y | There wasn't many people around is what I said, but I wasn't trying to be rude. | 06:41 |
| r4y | He is a cool guy | 06:41 |
| r4y | I don't want things to sit wrong at all | 06:41 |
| r4y | We didn't have an arguement | 06:42 |
| seidos | right on | 06:42 |
| r4y | What is the ubuntu chat what ever you want channel? | 06:42 |
| r4y | I mean with in reason of coarse | 06:43 |
| seidos | there's #ubuntu-offtopic and #ubuntu-beginners-team | 06:43 |
| r4y | but team sounds like the higher up people | 06:44 |
| seidos | r4y: you could try to find your ULUG | 06:44 |
| seidos | r4y: that is probably by design. if you want to join the team, that is probably where you want to go | 06:44 |
| seidos | or hang out (lurk) awhile, and see if you like it and want to contribute | 06:44 |
| r4y | Team? | 06:44 |
| seidos | the beginners team | 06:44 |
| seidos | try to help beginners, spread ubuntu, and more | 06:45 |
| r4y | Well, I need more time to get the hand of it all. | 06:45 |
| seidos | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam | 06:45 |
| seidos | well, you don't have to do it alone :D | 06:45 |
| r4y | There is so much want to know. I feel lost sometimes | 06:46 |
| seidos | you could do marketing, documentation...whatever you can to help give back | 06:46 |
| seidos | i feel you. | 06:46 |
| seidos | i am learning to slow down, relax, try to get smoother | 06:47 |

| zid | anyone here who can explain how I install mozilla sunbird ? | 08:36 |
| zid | I have dloaded the packages | 08:36 |
| zid | but I'm rusty on the installation commands | 08:36 |
| zid | dont think it is in the apt-get repositories | 08:37 |
| zid | so I have to do it manually / commandline | 08:37 |
| zid | do I have to do the "make dep" procedure and so on? | 08:38 |
| geirha | What's the name of the file you downloaded? | 08:40 |
| === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su | ||
| zid | geirha: good question :) | 09:13 |
| zid | I'll have to look. its a bzh archive I think. I used the usual package manger I think | 09:14 |
| zid | sunbird-1.0b1.tar.bz2 | 09:14 |
| geirha | Ah, well then it's hard to say what it may contain. Just extract it somewhere, then look for a README or INSTALL file, and read that. | 09:15 |
| zid | thanks :) I plain forgot there usually follows a install readme text :) | 09:16 |
| zid | my bad | 09:16 |
| zid | :) | 09:16 |
| MrChrisDruif | zid: It's alright......we also sometimes forget the usual stuff...at least me :P | 09:17 |
| zid | oops. the readme just contains a link to their homepage. the faq does not have any installation walkthrough for linux though... | 09:20 |
| MrChrisDruif | Bastards <_<" | 09:20 |
| zid | should I move the whole unpacked directory to the etc catalogue and try to run the binary? | 09:21 |
| MrChrisDruif | I don't know...I'm in class.... geirha? | 09:22 |
| geirha | zid: What other files are in it? | 09:23 |
| zid | okay lets see | 09:23 |
| zid | lib.so files, binaries, sh files and so on | 09:24 |
| MrChrisDruif | zid: Is there an install.sh? | 09:24 |
| geirha | Ah, so it's prebuilt | 09:24 |
| zid | yes | 09:24 |
| zid | I think so | 09:24 |
| MrChrisDruif | .sh files are bash scripts....they would install the program for ya | 09:24 |
| zid | run-mozilla.sh | 09:25 |
| zid | ah | 09:25 |
| geirha | No, .sh files are sh scripts, though sometimes people wrongly name bash scripts with .sh extension. | 09:25 |
| zid | I just type from command line ? | 09:25 |
| geirha | If there's an executable file named sunbird, try that. | 09:27 |
| zid | I did but no reaction from the prog | 09:27 |
| geirha | Hm. Try running it from the terminal then, maybe it'll give you a message about what's wrong. | 09:28 |
| zid | ah | 09:29 |
| zid | yes | 09:29 |
| zid | there clearly is a sunbird executable but when I run it even as root it says command not found | 09:30 |
| zid | but again, the directory is not placed in the etc catalogue | 09:30 |
| geirha | zid: That usually means you are trying to run a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system, without having 32-bit libraries installed. | 09:30 |
| zid | that might be it yes | 09:31 |
| geirha | etc? that's not a place to put a program | 09:31 |
| geirha | /opt would be more suitable | 09:31 |
| zid | ah, okay I thought that was where linux placed all the progs | 09:31 |
| zid | okay | 09:31 |
| geirha | No /etc only has the config. Programs are spread all over the system, usually. | 09:31 |
| geirha | In this case, it seems like it's packaged windows-style ... all files in one dir. | 09:32 |
| geirha | /opt is usually preferred for such programs. | 09:32 |
| zid | ah | 09:32 |
| zid | but how would I copy a program as root and still retain the rights to execute it? | 09:33 |
| zid | I dont think I'm allowed to even create a folder in the opt directory unles I'm root | 09:33 |
| zid | I dont think I'm allowed to even create a folder in the opt directory unless I'm root | 09:33 |
| bioterror | chmod +x file | 09:33 |
| geirha | zid: cd /opt && sudo tar jxf /path/to/sunbird-1.0b1.tar.bz2 | 09:34 |
| zid | ah, but should I really chmod any of the system directories? | 09:34 |
| zid | ah thanks | 09:34 |
| bioterror | i would prefer /usr/local/bin for owwn programs | 09:34 |
| Reckless | im having problem installing rad 7.0 | 09:34 |
| Reckless | A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run IBMIM. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/jre_5.0.3.sr8a_20080811b/jre/bin/java | 09:34 |
| zid | bio: exactly | 09:34 |
| geirha | zid: Then sudoedit /etc/environment and add /opt/sunbird to PATH | 09:34 |
| bioterror | no need to add /opt to path and yadda yadda | 09:34 |
| zid | /usr/local/bin ... forgot all about it :) | 09:34 |
| zid | thanx geirha | 09:35 |
| zid | and bio | 09:35 |
| zid | :) | 09:35 |
| bioterror | /opt is slowaris lusers :D | 09:35 |
| geirha | bioterror: Well, this is a windows-style package | 09:35 |
| bioterror | for | 09:35 |
| geirha | bioterror: All files and libraries in one dir | 09:35 |
| bioterror | okay | 09:35 |
| bioterror | disgusting | 09:35 |
| zid | ah, no, there are some subdirectories here as well. forgot tomention | 09:35 |
| bioterror | no deb for it? | 09:35 |
| geirha | zid: Yes, I assumed as much, but that doesn't change anything. | 09:36 |
| zid | components dictionaries and modules sub-directories and a few others | 09:36 |
| zid | ok | 09:36 |
| geirha | The change to /etc/environment will not take effect until you log in again, but after you've logged in again, you can start it by just running "sunbird" | 09:38 |
| bioterror | theres no deb package for sunbird? its mozilla | 09:38 |
| zid | no sunbird did not respond to apt get | 09:39 |
| geirha | However, you first need to fix the "command not found" error. Either find a 64-bit package of it, or install the 32-bit libs (I don't remember what those packages are called) | 09:39 |
| bioterror | im using phone atm, but i bet theres a ppa for it | 09:39 |
| zid | apt-get did not responod to sunbird :) | 09:39 |
| zid | k | 09:39 |
| bioterror | howabout google for sunbird ppa | 09:39 |
| Reckless | helloooo | 09:40 |
| zid | hm. some of the google refrences state that one should be able to just type sunbird to run it | 09:42 |
| zid | but the 32 64 issue might have something crucial to do with it yes | 09:42 |
| zid | sure I dloaded the 32bit version | 09:43 |
| geirha | zid: And file /bin/bash says 64-bit, right? | 09:43 |
| zid | Ile have to look | 09:43 |
| bioterror | uname -a | 09:44 |
| bioterror | tells your systems bit | 09:44 |
| zid | yup | 09:44 |
| zid | ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped | 09:44 |
| zid | Linux zid 2.6.35-26-generic-pae #46-Ubuntu SMP Sun Jan 30 08:27:58 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux | 09:45 |
| geirha | Oh, you do have 32-bit system, so you tried to run it without specifying a path, then? | 09:45 |
| geirha | I.e. sunbird instead of ./sunbird | 09:45 |
| zid | perhaps. I tried to run it from command line from its directory | 09:45 |
| zid | ah | 09:45 |
| zid | yup | 09:45 |
| geirha | zid: PATH=$PATH:/opt/sunbird | 09:45 |
| geirha | sunbird | 09:46 |
| geirha | That'll add it to PATH in your current terminal. | 09:46 |
| geirha | The change to /etc/environment makes it permanent ... as soon as you log back in. | 09:46 |
| zid | ah there! it started using ./sunbird from the directory yes :) | 09:47 |
| zid | k | 09:47 |
| zid | thanks | 09:47 |
| zid | thanks guys | 09:47 |
| Phoenix__ | hello all total newb here wondering about what I think is driver support | 09:55 |
| Phoenix__ | I have been play'n around for ever try'n to get ubuntu10.10 to run on my desktop and from searching I am pretty sure it is driver for my graphics card. It'll boot sometimes with GUI and not at all most others I can still ssh it and run commands from another comp | 09:58 |
| Phoenix__ | hello | 10:23 |
| ibuclaw | duanedesign, upgrade should be OK | 10:50 |
| ibuclaw | only remark I have is if you have autohide enabled in the Unity plugin, turn it off | 10:51 |
| ibuclaw | else the panel with spuriously hide / show itself | 10:51 |
| ibuclaw | in a rather violent way. {:-D | 10:51 |
| ibuclaw | on the bright side of things... | 10:52 |
| ibuclaw | bow chika wow wow for FF4.0 theme :D | 10:53 |
| ibuclaw | super key -> open unity menu could get seriously annoying though | 10:59 |
| mongox | hello | 11:21 |
| mongox | im starting to use ubuntu quite recently | 11:21 |
| mongox | i like it but i found a bit slow for my old P4, i understand that people can make | 11:22 |
| mongox | their own distros, would someone point me to where to start to look to make my own ? | 11:23 |
| mongox | thanks | 11:23 |
| wolfpack | mongox: If you want to go for a light version of ubuntu then you can go for lubuntu. | 11:28 |
| mongox | lubuntu, im going to google that, ta! | 11:29 |
| wolfpack | For creating your own distro, I think you should know packaging and use some iso creating software . | 11:29 |
| wolfpack | I am not sure about creating distro . | 11:29 |
| mongox | ok, so is like hardcore uisers only ? | 11:30 |
| duanedesign | +1 on Lubuntu | 11:31 |
| duanedesign | lubuntu is very nice and perfect for older computers | 11:32 |
| duanedesign | also the Beginners team has a lot of Lubuntu users so you can get plenty of help with Lubuntu here :) | 11:32 |
| duanedesign | mongox: ^ | 11:32 |
| mongox | in cases like this that i want to try something else, i have to delete the partition and crete everything again or there is any way to "upgrade" to say in a way | 11:32 |
| duanedesign | good question | 11:35 |
| duanedesign | it is possible... | 11:35 |
| duanedesign | mongox: let me see if i can find a sane way for you to do that | 11:36 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| mongox | to be honest i do have 2 old pc one is without cd drive / floppy .. and is xubuntu running on it.. | 11:38 |
| mongox | and the only way to install something is trought the network card (it took me a week ) lol | 11:39 |
| JoeMaverickSett | this shall do; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp#Install%20Lubuntu%20from%20Ubuntu%20or%20any%20Ubuntu%20flavors | 11:39 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hai JoeMaverickSett :) | 11:39 |
| MrChrisDruif | Lubuntu ppa? :P | 11:40 |
| JoeMaverickSett | hey MrChrisDruif | 11:40 |
| MrChrisDruif | How's it going JoeMaverickSett? | 11:40 |
| mongox | look quite simple even for a noob, thanks | 11:41 |
| JoeMaverickSett | mongox: no problem :) | 11:41 |
| duanedesign | mongox: ok | 11:43 |
| duanedesign | mongox: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends | 11:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | duanedesign: First install ppa right? O:-) | 11:44 |
| duanedesign | mongox: then: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde | 11:44 |
| duanedesign | MrChrisDruif: it is in the regular repo, i think | 11:45 |
| bioterror | no need for the repo | 11:45 |
| bioterror | I mean ppa repos | 11:45 |
| mongox | duanedesign is that after the installation then ? | 11:45 |
| duanedesign | mongox: what I would do is install the lubuntu-desktop. Then reboot. You will have the option at the bottom (when you put in password) to select LXDE | 11:47 |
| bioterror | I would not | 11:47 |
| duanedesign | mongox: then work on getting rid of the gnome stuff | 11:47 |
| duanedesign | oops | 11:47 |
| bioterror | menu's are full of gnome crap :D | 11:47 |
| duanedesign | lol | 11:47 |
| duanedesign | my last line was going to be "but we should ask bioterror " ;) | 11:47 |
| bioterror | but yeah | 11:48 |
| bioterror | you're actually right | 11:48 |
| bioterror | boot into LXDE and then run the line from psychocats | 11:48 |
| bioterror | I'm a little slow atm. as I am having a phone conference with my team mates | 11:48 |
| duanedesign | cool | 11:48 |
| bioterror | WORK TEAM | 11:48 |
| bioterror | something I get paid for :D | 11:48 |
| duanedesign | no worries, there is lag too | 11:48 |
| mongox | ok, im going to try this (would be back in liek 3 hours ) lol | 11:49 |
| ibuclaw | mongox, keep safe! | 11:49 |
| ibuclaw | stay away from rave music! O: | 11:49 |
| bioterror | hahaha | 11:49 |
| mongox | my pidgin crashes on my netbook when i needit the most.. lol | 12:16 |
| mongox | ok i was installing in the other room following the 1st link, the installation ask me something about video mode ? or something ? | 12:17 |
| mongox | i just press [enter] that means if i dont have video i choose the wrong option ? | 12:17 |
| duanedesign | hello mongox | 12:22 |
| mongox_v2 | im following the psychocat instructions, give me a couple of errors, but i guess is tring to delete some stuff and if is not there aimrite? | 12:33 |
| bioterror | usually you see the errors ;) | 12:34 |
| mongox_v2 | i guess when you install and see errors you should care , not nao | 12:35 |
| mongox_v2 | ok It did not take 3 hours to follow everything , let see the breakneck speed of lubuntu on this pc from the last century | 12:39 |
| bioterror | when you installed lubuntu, you technically installed a 10k RPM scsi drive and quad socket mobo with four xeon's each running 4 cores and 132GB of RAM ;) | 12:42 |
| mongox_v2 | in that case im going to rip the lame sticker that say "designed for microsoft windows 2000 profesional " | 12:44 |
| bioterror | :D | 12:44 |
| mongox_v2 | im going to open a tab with youtube and find a video of CRYSIS to se how it runns | 12:45 |
| bioterror | mongox_v2, does it work? | 12:59 |
| mongox_v2 | seems to me everything is working ok, video & sound, even browsing seems to be better. im just restarting to see booting times | 13:04 |
| mongox_v2 | i just found is not even a p4 is a pIII 1000mhz with 512 of ram, you can ask for miracles here | 13:05 |
| mongox_v2 | my brother told me to try puppy linux but im not sure is worth the hassle | 13:06 |
| mongox_v2 | you can say whatever you want but this little fella boot faster than my core2duo with win7 :-S | 13:10 |
| mongox_v2 | thanks for the help to all of you guys.. | 13:12 |
| bioterror | hmm | 13:12 |
| bioterror | mongox_v2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ me and my couple of pals have created something like this | 13:13 |
| mongox_v2 | thanks for that , system is working perfect so far so, i use this pc for browsing and chat and everithing is working ok | 13:16 |
| bioterror | that's just some fine tuning and so on | 13:16 |
| bioterror | people tend to ask these things alot, so I decided to make that make :D | 13:17 |
| mongox_v2 | for how long are you been using linux ? | 13:18 |
| bioterror | since 1998 | 13:19 |
| mongox_v2 | i started with ubuntu netbook remix and i love it , and i would like to migrate everithing to linux , i hate m$ with passion and apple too | 13:19 |
| bioterror | I hate just apple, I tend to like MS ;) | 13:19 |
| mongox_v2 | 1998 hey that is like the fundation of linux or something like that | 13:20 |
| bioterror | it was Red Hat 5.2 Manhattan | 13:20 |
| bioterror | I have to say that dialing to internet with 56k modem and using PPP was diffucult back then | 13:21 |
| mongox_v2 | 300 bauds FTW | 13:22 |
| mongox_v2 | i hate m$ i was a DRDOS user | 13:22 |
| bioterror | Active Directory just works | 13:23 |
| bioterror | I have nothing against it | 13:23 |
| udienz | join #ubuntu-beginners-dev | 13:23 |
| udienz | bah | 13:24 |
| geirha | bioterror: It has some annoyances though ... like you can't have a group and user by the same name. | 13:25 |
| bioterror | small things :D | 13:25 |
| geirha | bioterror: You need a windows server to host it :P | 13:26 |
| bioterror | sure | 13:26 |
| mongox_v2 | no idea about active directory but sounds old | 13:26 |
| bioterror | and there's nothing wrong with it | 13:26 |
| mongox_v2 | are you trolling? | 13:26 |
| bioterror | why would I? | 13:26 |
| mongox_v2 | lol | 13:26 |
| bioterror | we can move to #ubuntu-beginners-team | 13:27 |
| bioterror | as offtopic | 13:27 |
| mongox_v2 | back to n00b questions, I got netbook remix 10.04 because when i moved to 10.10 i did not liek the unity thinghy | 13:30 |
| mongox_v2 | i found slow & buggy, there is any improvments or still bad? | 13:30 |
| geirha | I haven't tried 10.10 yet, other than briefly in vbox. I prefer to stick with LTS releases. | 13:31 |
| mongox | mm the little pc does not shut down properly | 13:36 |
| mongox | im not sure if is something permanent , stil not a big deal tho! | 13:37 |
| szczur | mongox, what was the problem with not shutting down properly? | 13:57 |

| szczur | hard disks are stopped but pc isn't shutting down? | 13:58 |

| tenach | Is there a performance boost on a netbook when using NBR rather than standard desktop? | 18:09 |
| Cheri703 | that's a really good question...I'd be curious to know the actual answer, but if I had to guess, I'd think the only things that'd give a performance boost would be graphical differences (no effects, etc) | 18:13 |
| tenach | Nevermind; I just read that they're merging it with the desktop edition. | 18:13 |
| tenach | It is going to be discontinued as of 11.04 since desktop is using Unity as well. | 18:13 |
| Cheri703 | I like(d) the 10.04 netbook edition | 18:13 |
| Cheri703 | tried unity when it came out with 10.10, HATED IT, but it was uber buggy | 18:13 |
| johnny77 | Cheri703: tenach: for me unity was just too slow on 10.10. | 18:14 |
| tenach | I opted for desktop rather than NBR because I don't like how the netbook Unity is laid out. | 18:15 |
| charlie-tca | I think unity on 10.10 was using mutter, unity on 11.04 is using compiz, it seems to matter | 18:15 |
| tenach | Yeah. | 18:15 |
| tenach | I'm glad they're going to compiz... | 18:15 |
| johnny77 | in 11.04 they are going to use compiz? | 18:16 |
| charlie-tca | yes, unity in Natty is using compiz | 18:16 |
| tenach | I'm glad, it makes it more consistent with how Ubuntu has been running (at least, with GNOME). | 18:18 |
| tenach | Alright, another question: Does anyone have ACPI working on a Dell Inspiron Mini 10? | 18:27 |
| johnny77 | How do I turn up my microphone volume? | 18:47 |
| holstein | you can look in alsamixer | 18:47 |
| holstein | from the terminal | 18:47 |
| holstein | also, you can install pavucontrol | 18:48 |
| johnny77 | holstein: in alsamixer, I have mic boost, capture and digital and they are all about maxed. | 18:49 |
| holstein | johnny77: that might be all she's got | 18:49 |
| johnny77 | could my microphone be muted? | 18:51 |
| holstein | sure | 18:51 |
| johnny77 | how do I check? | 18:51 |
| holstein | johnny77: dont trust those labels either | 18:51 |
| holstein | in pulse or alsamixer | 18:51 |
| holstein | johnny77: in the buisness, the offical way to test a mic is to tap on it ;) | 18:51 |
| holstein | actually, dont tap on the 5 thousand dollar ribbon mics | 18:53 |
| johnny77 | how do I unmute something? | 18:54 |
| holstein | did you install pavucontrol? | 18:54 |
| johnny77 | no, only alsamixer | 18:54 |
| johnny77 | installing now. | 18:55 |
| johnny77 | holstein: done installing pavucontrol | 18:56 |
| holstein | cool, i think you got more options with it | 18:56 |
| holstein | its not JACK, but it'll do | 18:57 |
| johnny77 | holstein: is there some kind of sound recorder in ubuntu that I can test the input | 19:01 |
| holstein | gnome-sound-recorder | 19:02 |
| holstein | audacity | 19:02 |
| holstein | all kinds of stuff really | 19:03 |
| johnny77 | holstein: thanks for your help. | 19:05 |
| holstein | johnny77: anytime | 19:05 |
| holstein | it can be challening | 19:05 |
| holstein | because of the labels and all | 19:05 |
| holstein | johnny77: did you get it sorted? | 19:05 |
| johnny77 | holstein: getting sound but it's super quiet. :( | 19:06 |
| holstein | what mic? | 19:06 |
| holstein | hardware | 19:06 |
| holstein | ? | 19:06 |
| holstein | on a laptop ? | 19:06 |
| johnny77 | I have a netbook that has a built in mic, but i've also been playing around with a couple of mics I had laying around. | 19:06 |
| holstein | my built in mic works well | 19:07 |
| holstein | asus EEE 1001p | 19:07 |
| holstein | i plug a stereo mic in though | 19:07 |
| holstein | and the gain is low | 19:07 |
| holstein | i have an external preamp though | 19:07 |
| holstein | just for that purpose | 19:07 |
| johnny77 | i was trying to use skype so it could be that too. | 19:08 |
| holstein | what are you trying to do? | 19:08 |
| holstein | usually, the internal mic will do the job | 19:08 |
| holstein | unless you need a headset or something | 19:09 |
| johnny77 | I'm just trying to talk to someone through skype and they said I was super quiet | 19:09 |
| holstein | yeah | 19:09 |
| holstein | tell them to turn up the volume ;) | 19:09 |
| holstein | johnny77: the skype test call can be helpful | 19:10 |
| johnny77 | ttrue. | 19:10 |
| holstein | theres not really an easier way to do it though | 19:10 |
| holstein | johnny77: its usually just fiddly like that | 19:11 |
| mtkorb | My 10.04 boot stops and gives the message "ureadahead main process (312) terminated with status 5." On launchpad, someone said this error is caused by having /var mounted on a separate partition. This is my case (actually on a different drive altogether), but how do I fix it? | 19:11 |
| holstein | johnny77: in pavucontrol | 19:12 |
| holstein | you should see in the 'input devices' tab | 19:12 |
| holstein | a read out | 19:12 |
| holstein | when you tap on the mic | 19:12 |
| holstein | and there is a level control | 19:12 |
| holstein | jack that up and see what happens | 19:12 |
| holstein | and i usually tell skype not to automatically control my settings | 19:12 |
| johnny77 | I was playing with that... but it didn't seem to help. It's ok... no big deal. Thank you. | 19:13 |

| holstein | is you wish | 20:10 |

| holstein | is that all the output you get? | 20:12 |
| mtkorb | holstein: yeah, nothing else gets printed at all. | 20:16 |
| holstein | mtkorb: try an older kernel | 20:20 |
| === forsch is now known as nick | ||
| === nick is now known as forsch | ||

| raubvogel | mtkorb, holstein, I have the same problem and AFAIK it is a bug | 20:44 |
| raubvogel | Great way to duplicate it is install ubuntu with /var being part of / and then set it on its own partition | 20:44 |
