[00:22] how do i know which lubuntu i have? [00:23] System monitor? [00:23] I don't know if it's installed [00:23] by default I mean [00:23] which version of lubuntu i have how do i figure out? [00:23] i had windows first if thats wat your asking for [00:24] i just want to know which lubuntu i have [00:24] which version [00:24] In the Gnome version of Ubuntu (normal Ubuntu) there is an application called System Monitor, in there you can easily spot which version you have installed [00:24] so how do i figure out in lubuntu? [00:28] lsb_release -a in terminal [00:28] ok [00:29] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [00:29] Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS [00:29] Release: 10.04 [00:29] Codename: lucid [00:29] is that up to date [00:29] if it isnt how can i upgrade [00:29] Yup [00:29] ok thanks [00:29] It's up-to-date afaik, if you want to stay with the LTS version :) [00:29] is there any gaming channels [00:30] Gaming channels? [00:30] yah [00:30] Like #winehq ? [00:30] nvm that what is LTS version [00:30] nevermind*=nvm [00:32] Long Term Support if I remember correctly. Meaning it will be longer supported then the default release of Lubuntu [00:47] Unit193: Were you interested in the wallpaper changer I'm making? [00:47] I've forgotten :D [00:48] Stew_822: I'll try it! [00:48] hehe cool as :] [00:48] Uh, what features do you think I should include? [00:48] And what program manages your desktop? pcmanfm? [00:49] *desktop background [00:52] pcmanfm, Picasa/Flickr might be nice, bu hard... [00:53] afk [00:53] That would be hard :P but heck I could give it a try later on :) [01:15] Stew_822: Join #lubuntu-offtopic ? [01:15] Good idea [02:47] i need help burning ubuntu to a cd i am currently using lubuntu and i need help on how to install it to a cd so i can live cd it [02:48] 32 or 64 bit bonny [02:48] 32 bit [02:48] one moment [02:49] ok [02:49] desktop? [02:49] or netbook? [02:50] desktop [02:50] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [02:51] im already there :D [02:51] simply dowload it and burn it to a cd [02:51] bonny: Hello again. [02:51] have u d-loaded it yet [02:52] do i open it with x archiver or save it some where [02:52] save it [02:52] save it where [02:52] ru in lubuntu? [02:52] yes [02:52] i think it saves t oyour home by default [02:53] ok its downloading [02:53] but if u want to save to desktop doesnt matter [02:53] so wat do i do when its done how do i burn to cd just copy and past? [02:53] burn to cd [02:54] if i right click it will there be an option to burn to cd? [02:55] im going to boot into lubuntu [02:55] brb [02:55] its on my other laptop [02:55] ok [02:56] bonny: Use Xarchiver (in Accessories menu). [02:56] i know but i saved it and i dont know how to burn something to cd [02:58] bonny: Use Xfburn in Sound Menu. [02:58] i dont have that [02:59] sudo apt-get install xfburn? [03:00] I am surprised because I think Xfburn is a default program. [03:00] nvm i do [03:00] nevermind srry [03:00] its just not in the menu [03:00] i can run it from terminal though [03:01] Really? In Sound & Video menu? [03:01] wow i think im kinda freakin out today haha its right there wow [03:02] It might be more convenient to run Xfburn by, Alt-F2. Try that. [03:02] hmmm my xburn refused to open...updating... [03:03] its ok i found it in the menu [03:03] . [03:03] im gonna test something [03:04] do i click burn image to burn ubuntu? [03:06] ok back [03:06] ericy, have you ever tried ubuntu [03:07] As I said yesterday, I have been using Ubuntu for 2 years, and Lubuntu for 2 months. [03:07] its nice buts kinda slow [03:08] i like ubuntu if i have at least 1 gig of ram preferably 2 [03:08] oh ok [03:09] (Well I just had breakfast so soon I want to get back to writing a small utility in Python language.) ) [03:10] ceya ericy bye ubuuxbu thanks for the help [03:10] ok [03:11] hmm just noticed xfburn will not work in a vm [03:12] and the warning window crashes [03:13] odd i kept clicking it and it came up its totally malfunctioning [04:40] Hello, can I put Lubuntu on a stick/USB ? [04:41] !usb | gnewb [04:41] gnewb: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:41] Thank you. [04:41] No problem! [04:42] Unit93: That is where I was having the error at, I think it was Finalizing? [04:45] Unit93: Was also a UC3 part on it, can I just get rid of that? [04:46] Oh, ok, I just found that on that Link posted, Thank you kindly. [05:27] booted a cd and installed on a usb stick [05:39] As we speak, I am running Lubuntu 10.10 Live & persistent, on a 4GB usb stick. (Using 500GB HDD for data and various linux partitions.) [05:41] gnewb: (See my last line.) [05:43] ericy: gnewb left #lubuntu some time ago [05:47] heya... I was here the other day and speaking about helping out, I said if I get around o it I could/would :p [05:48] but anyway.. I after testing, thinking, trying and all that, think I will settle on *buntu as main desktop.. and will use lubuntu BUT I admit , it is because I wish to have a low resource finished wm.. but also I wish to build up my 'main' DE, being pure compiz + a few things from lxde, kde, and so on. [05:49] would you guys recommend a headless ubuntu server to start with or run it on lubuntu (I don't mind the extra space of having lxde/compiz).. and finally.. does lxde work fine on openbox too, and/or why is fluxbox chosen as it's wm? [05:49] :) [05:49] if anyone is around, that is :) [06:19] mali, ubuntu mini.iso [06:19] minimal installation [06:20] bioterror: !!!! [06:20] thank you omg I am downloading the server now and am wee[ping at the 600 :p [06:20] MB* [06:20] didn't ever rememebr seeing a mini.iso :) [06:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:23] ye coudl only find desk, server, altenrate [06:23] :--) [06:23] :) [06:23] thanks!! [06:23] Have fun with creating your own flavour of *buntu [06:23] well, I will pull in compiz say [06:23] my desktop is part of LXDE and part of XFCE on Window Maker [06:24] I guess the lovely auto mount features are all not gonna be there ;P [06:24] twm? [06:24] my laptop has pieces of Gnome, LXDE and XFCE on Fluxbox [06:24] window maker == twm or not? I don't rememebr now.. but [06:24] twm is my oldskool wm from you know the 99-00 era :p [06:24] I use it always when i test X [06:25] and it is remarkable how lovely implemented it is on logic [06:25] twm should be the default Window Manager of X [06:25] if I remember right [06:25] smack it down where you need it, resize it, easy minimisation, dead small footprint [06:25] and you get automount easily [06:25] at least I have them ;) [06:25] as one know.. everything else is eyecandy really so if one isn't bothered it's a great gui on top of a server say if you absolutely need it in days of visual need [06:26] yes.. ah isn't window maker the same then? [06:26] hmm, I will look it up as I knwo I used them all back in the day [06:26] ye bioterror: easy and easy, when I try building on top of a lfs or something, I never get the automount's easily setup , at least not with the right RW rights [06:27] but that's just a lil scrip there and there and should work itself out I guess [06:27] so if I want to launch the mini.iso from disk, does it use generic names vmlinuz/initrd.img or does it append the kernel version buntu style? [06:29] (nvm, I will figure that out now it's dl) [06:31] ha! windowmaker.. i got curious now..you know, the only reason I want to have compiz as the engine is for that silly middle mouse click drag cube :p [06:31] that is the single one thing I love having as eye candy [06:31] I dont need them [06:31] makes me feel bad as I change desktops alot [06:31] all other things to me are unnecessary but I admit I have a weakness for that cube.. can't help it :/ [06:31] for what? [06:31] for changing and trying.. that's the beauty of the diversity of linux [06:31] choice :) [06:32] I tend to stick to something for a year at least but then I tend to have like a month or two of mayhem [06:32] whenre I just try out so many different things and tent to fall back on something .. at least I know more what I want and what not [06:33] http://ricecows.org/archhh4.png that's my desktop computer's desktop. beautiful I think. no need for moar eye candy [06:37] will check it now.. blah start up creator doesn't accept the mini iso [06:37] can I just dd it? [06:38] nope [06:38] only arch based distros can be dd [06:38] well I did dd with squeeze net instl and it worked too :) [06:38] so I thought debian/ubuntu [06:38] but ye, both arch and squeeze i managed str8 dd [06:39] dso I do what (z)cat or rsync [06:39] then get syslinux etc from ftp or? [06:40] very nice bioterror [06:41] but on arch I get so much megalahem mayhem haha, I feel like going ubu bare, compiz only and I will compile the odd package I need updated [06:41] if you compile yourself, remember to use checkinstall ;) [06:42] althoguh arch = easiest, quickest install ever + grt boot times, but in arch I typically always have this hassle with [06:42] with write perimssions on auotmounts and all [06:42] ye, I know [06:42] no problems [06:42] I found checkinstall and all that a week back [06:42] exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch wmaker [06:42] and you get permissions with thunar [06:43] ye I wasn't using thunar [06:43] tried pcmanfm [06:43] and was using dolphin as well whilst troubleshooting compiz [06:44] the thing is with arch, I am somewhat unrelaxed about security with rolling release + non signatures on packages [06:44] but I am getting a new computer in august, even if this one is onl 4 months old :p but then I think I will use arch for my funbox [06:44] :D [06:44] as it will be sooo juicy I think [06:45] hmm will unetbootin work then with it.. should do right? will try [06:45] yes [06:46] unetbootin should work [06:47] k [06:47] well if I am not back soon it means I am pissin about with that and it worked.. else prolly iwll pop by and say "blah" [06:47] ;) [06:47] thanks for the tips ! [06:50] worked [06:50] yay [06:50] \o/ [06:50] hehe ye I forgot to sasve the compiz configuration crap when I get to that [06:51] might try the windowmaker as an option as I wanted lubuntu, cos I don't mind a lightweight alternative but point is comp can handle bloat.. but I like it being concise BUT i want that middle mouse click drag cube rotate :P:P [06:51] the ONE eye candy I like and want! [06:51] ;) [06:51] you use cli itrc or gui? [06:51] eg. weechat or other? [06:51] I'm using weechat [06:51] as gui client I like [06:51] and it makes me cry atm. [06:51] ye.. I was just looking into that [06:51] why? [06:52] I upgraded it yesterday and eeeverything was broken [06:52] ah crap :/ [06:52] I still cant connect to two servers with SSL [06:52] no backup files? [06:52] rollback? [06:52] I'm using dev tree of weechat [06:52] I mean, what new features did you upgrade for? [06:52] ye ok [06:52] lots of, some stuff on act's and so on [06:52] but removed them :D [06:52] hehe [06:53] :) [06:53] WeeChat uptime: 92 days 03:22:49, started on Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:30:42 [06:53] ;) [06:53] maybe I should give up with the SSL [06:53] seems to make life a lot harder [06:54] Irssi: Uptime: 22d 7h 7m 21s [06:54] You win ;) [06:55] hmm, my vps been up for 103 days [06:55] not bad [06:55] Ah! I SSH into my own... [06:58] hehe [06:58] ok bbl am off to play with mini iso :p [06:59] bioterror: Do you use Mutt or Alpine? [06:59] alpine [09:28] well bioterror [09:28] I got it just as I wanted it.. kinda ;p [09:28] almost there then [09:29] the .compiz-session in ~ doesn't seem to trigegr :/ [09:29] trigger [09:29] and I don't have ouse in 'gdm' as I just took that for now [09:29] thats a xf86-uvdev [09:29] something? [09:29] I couldn't find it in apt in the back of my miund [09:29] synaptics? [09:29] ye I have a [09:29] ye [09:29] as in , my usb mouse won't work in the gdm [09:29] only after I login to compiz [09:30] hmmm [09:30] and I have to still do compiz --replace ccp [09:30] I'm not familiar with compiz [09:30] even if I set up sessions.desktop in usr/share/xsessions, [09:30] ya it's more about the X not readin gme scripts [09:30] but I guess I will figure i tout [09:31] and I kinda liked not having a BG, so when I rotrate you can still see inside the cube afterwards, BUT it disappears again on startup.. sigh [09:31] but it's at least *almsot* there ;p [09:32] some fine tuning :D [09:33] ye hehe [09:33] god I love that lil mouse trail particles thingy alway when I first set up compoz [09:33] then I go tired of it aftr a day ;p [15:46] Hello, I'm having some issues with the noveau driver and my 7800GT which prevent the Lubuntu installer from starting. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get the Lubuntu 10.10 installer running in a safe graphics mode or in text mode? === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [21:17] hello [21:18] is there any app to unlock my 3g modem ??

[22:53] kosaidpo|: Good choice :) [22:54] Boot a liveCD, delete the partition of Windows (when you've got all files backed up from it) and enlarge the partition of Lubuntu [22:54] MrChrisDruif: i always do that the only good tghings is when i have a problem on my lbuntu n icant acces so i use win other than that im on lbuntu : D [22:56] MrChrisDruif: okies , btw have u tried it b4 ??
