[18:15] <MichealH> Hi, I have tried to open nano, but I cannot, It says I need to 'Select a terminal type'
[18:15] <MichealH> I am runnnng 10.10
[18:15] <MichealH> it also happens in 10.04
[18:16] <head_victim> MichealH: odd, it's worked fine here (nano is my editor of choice for all config files)
[18:16] <MichealH> Let me paste the one line of output
[18:17] <head_victim> Are you just running the command "nano" from terminal or are you doing something a little different
[18:17] <head_victim> Yeah that would be good :)
[18:17] <MichealH> Error opening terminal: unknown.
[18:17] <MichealH> But shh says "Please select a terminal type"
[18:17] <MichealH> *ssh
[18:17] <MichealH> I am doing nano gtk.py
[18:18] <head_victim> Can you perform the command locally on the machine?
[18:18] <MichealH> I am running the command in LXTermial
[18:19] <MichealH> *LXTerminal
[18:19] <MichealH> michealh@michealh-desktop:~$ nano gtk.py
[18:19] <MichealH> Error opening terminal: unknown.
[18:19] <head_victim> Ah sorry It hought you said you were running it over ssh
[18:21] <MichealH> ssh to a computer tells me to select a terminal type

[23:24] <f1assistance> how does lubuntu compare to xubuntu? I have a laptop with PIII 1 GHz processor and 1 GB RAM...
[23:25] <sico> i'm using it with a celeron 1.4, 1.5GB ram (laptop)
[23:26] <sico> i had x/k/u as well, but i got rid of them yesterday and started with a clean lubuntu.  i get more battery life, almost 40 mins more.
[23:33] <Unit193> f1assistance: I got Lubuntu on 500MHz 512Ram 10G HDD
[23:54] <f1assistance> is there a performance difference or would there be a better experience with one over the other?
