[01:07] silverarrow: ? [01:07] silverarrow: have u tried decss? [01:13] hi [01:13] I fixed it [01:13] somehow the video output method got messed up [01:14] a setting in vlc [01:14] Mate, off-topic conversion. First warning [01:15] Conversation* damn, it's too early. [01:39] poltak, cussing, not allowed, first warning [02:17] how does a network password sniffer work? [02:18] #ubuntu [03:22] I am downloading the new version of ubuntu [03:23] lubuntu* [03:23] can the monitor save the settings now?, i tried lxde in mint, and i had to manually set the resolution everytime [03:24] Onions: Try it and see; if X recognizes the resolution you want, the LXDE utilities should let you set it and keep it. [03:25] how long was it released? I just realized yesterday [03:40] he went away?? [05:28] nights, i've managed to install lubuntu on my pc [05:28] and after first boot only thing i get is an error after starting bluetooth (wich machine does not have...) [05:28] codec_read: codec 0 is not valid [05:29] what may it mean? [06:13] press ctrl + alt +f1 [06:13] you should see login [06:20] bioterror, indeed but i want X to work :o [06:21] then you should log in and look into /var/log/ [06:21] there's Xorg.0.log [06:22] i've found the error on some places refering to something with alsa [06:23] X11 has nothing to do with alsa [06:23] anyway thanks for the clue... i'll come back tomorrow [06:23] codec_read codec 0 is not valid 0x107e5370 [06:23] that's the exact text at boot, appears 4 times then it halts === palhmbs is now known as palhmbs_ [08:43] I can't get gnome-do to start can anyone help please? [08:44] I just did a fresh install of lubuntu on my computer [08:44] lubuntu and gnome... [08:44] well, i just like gnome-do [08:44] it works in peppermint which also runs lxde [08:45] what does gnome-do then do? [08:45] it's an application launcher [08:46] Try synapse [08:46] There is a ppa, I'm pretty sure [08:46] much lighter, looks nicer, and same functionality [08:46] Nice [08:47] downloading right now [08:47] It's even got a default theme to make it look just like gnome-do if you are used to it [08:48] hmm pretty nice [08:48] thanks [08:48] i think i'll just use this now [08:49] you dont happen to know anything about a gtx 260 causing problems in lubuntu do you? [08:50] whenever i update the graphics card driver, the resolution makes text way too small for me to read [08:51] try different driver [08:52] I've tried going to system tools->additional drivers and also tried downloading the driver from synaptic, both have caused the same problem [08:52] so i had to reinstall and now i'm just not using any driver for the graphics card [08:53] i also went on the nvidia site and tried downloading the driver directly from the site, but it is a .run file and it doesn't seem to do anything when I execute it [08:53] I just right clicked and checked the execute box and tried to run it [08:53] hmm, have you gone to the ubuntu forums? They are very helpfull generally [08:54] I really do not know how to help you here, I'm sorry. I'm sure someone else here would though [08:55] it's cool [08:55] thanks [08:56] i did notice that i didn't have that problem in xfce though [08:57] Just reinstall Windows 7. It's generally pretty good out-of-the-box support for drivers [08:58] haha I actually tried to install that on one of my partitions today [08:58] unfortunately it seems like windows 7 would need to be the first os installed on a paricular hd [08:59] for it to boot [08:59] in any case it came up with an error messege when i tried to install it === palhmbs_ is now known as palhmbs [09:58] Hello, can someone tell me how to add this channel to XChat? [09:59] do you mean autojoin [09:59] or what [09:59] /server chat.freenode.net [09:59] /join #lubuntu [10:00] I'm new to XChat. This is what I see. [10:00] How to add this channel to Xchat list? [10:01] http://xchat.org/faq/#q23 [10:01] It says Looking up newserver * Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it? [10:02] When I add the link above to Xchat list? [10:03] bigger boys told me not the give advices that requires terminal, so I'm not familiar with XChat and I cannot help with that [10:03] maybe we have here someone who is graphical irc client specialist [10:03] ircII EPIC4 and 5 I know like my own pockets, I also know something about irssi and I'm current using weechat [10:04] Because XChat came with Lubuntu. So I just use it. [10:05] Is weechat still in beta? [10:06] not that I know [10:06] I'm using dev tree [10:06] Are u using it on Lubuntu? [10:07] I hardly irc locally [10:11] Luffy, click on XChat > Network List [10:11] then you will get a window that looks like the on on the left on this image http://szczur.ath.cx/sshots/xchat/2.png [10:11] select freenode and click Edit [10:13] then set Autoconnect on startup and choose the channels you want to autojoin wrting it in comma separated list. For example #lubuntu,#lubuntu-offtopic [10:17] @ are you talking to me? [10:17] Luffy: Error: "" is not a valid command. [10:17] yes :) [10:17] Are u using XChat? [10:18] take a look at http://szczur.ath.cx/sshots/xchat/2.png [10:18] yes [10:19] I got it to work on XChat. [10:20] I didn't use Network Freenode. I use Ubuntu. In Favorite Channel. I put Lubuntu. So I'm here. [10:22] :) [10:22] Can you tell me why both Freenode and Ubuntu has the 8001 at the end? [10:22] this is the port nomber that client communicate through with server [10:23] like 80 for http server, 22 for ssh etc. [10:24] some network don't have the number at the end? [10:24] then they conect by default port which is 6667 [10:25] Last question, If I want to manual add the netword to the XChat. How do I know the port? [10:27] You can got the info from server webpage (if there's one) or something like this. most of the servers listen on 6667 [10:29] If it use 6667, I don't need to add the number at the end, right? [10:30] that's true i think :) [10:30] You will, sorry Luffy [10:32] for example FDF.net don't have nombers at the end and after connecting to it you can read "Connecting to irc.fdfnet.net (207.145.6.5) port 6667..." [10:33] Yes, that is correct. Put the numbers there [10:33] poltak, you don't have to put numbers if the server communicate on 6667 [10:35] So if I want to add FDF.net to my XChat, I put irc.fdfnet.net in the server for New Network? [10:36] you click on Add then you choose new name for the network. For example FDF [10:36] szczur: please get yourself educated before claiming something as fact [10:37] poltak, /conect irc.fdfnet.net [10:37] /connect [10:37] you don't have to specify port [10:37] by default it willl fallback to 6667 [10:38] szczur is right. I just tried it. [10:38] No need to put 6667 at the end. [10:38] szczur: get over yourself [10:39] Luffy, then you will see the newserver/6667 on the top of edit window. Click this line once and put server address there [10:40] The XChat is kinda confusing. [10:41] At first, I thought the Networks is support to put the irc.fdfnet.net. After that I figured it just the name. have to click on Edit to put real Network [10:42] Network list contants only "profiles" [10:42] each network can have different configurations [10:42] Yes. now I know. First time use [10:43] IF someone ask me how to add new server to XChat, I will tell them. [10:46] Are you using Chromium? [10:46] nope, i didn't like it from the start and nothing changed since then :) [10:47] Firefox FTW :> [10:47] Yup. I'm trying to figure out how to install Flash on Chromium. [10:48] Don't know why it came with Lubuntu? [10:50] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [10:50] and then sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/ [10:51] but first try without this cp command [10:52] No cp? [10:53] tfirst try without it [10:53] if it won't work do the cp line [10:56] The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [10:56] ndiswrapper-common libdmraid1.0.0.rc16 archdetect-deb python-pyicu [10:56] Should I remove it? [10:56] sudo apt-get autoremove < this command will get rid of them [10:58] Question, from now on if it says No longer required. I can remove it, right? [11:08] It works. [11:08] Thank you. [11:09] cool :) [11:09] I have to use the cp. [11:10] What is cp for? [11:10] this is the copy comman [11:10] d [11:33] hello, howto restore evolution mail backup to sylpheed ? === palhmbs is now known as palhmbs_ [12:17] ogex: mail, contacts or both? Or other filters? [12:18] both [12:18] but mail more important [12:18] Apparently evolution just uses mbox which you can just open in sylpheed [12:20] head_victim, i only have evolution backup (tar.gz) [12:20] so ? [12:23] So what they're saying is you can select all the mail items in evolution then right click and "save as" and it should save the files to an mbox format which you can just import into slypheed [12:23] http://www.stchman.com/export_evolution.html is where I was getting the information [12:35] Does anybody know the ActionName for ToggleMaximized for Windows? [12:56] ah, evolution to much bug [12:56] i only have tar.gz file, now i cant restore to evolution on other PC [13:17] Does anybody know how to add a desktop row in OpenBox? [13:21] MrChrisDruif, the one where you see all desktops and switch, add or remove them? [13:21] try this [13:22] In lubuntu-rc.xml ? [13:22] in menu.xml [13:23] arrgeez, my bad, i'm using pure openbox without lxpanel and etc [13:24] xD [13:24] did you mean somethign like this? > http://szczur.ath.cx/menu.png [13:24] pure openbox <3 [13:25] I'm trying to add a desktop row, so like now I've got 3 desktops in 1 row, but know I want 6 desktops in 2 rows (so total of 6 desktops) [13:26] aaah :P [13:26] now i understand [13:26] no rows [13:26] only one line in lxpanel? [13:26] Yup [13:27] But whether lxpanel shows 2 rows or just one I don't care, as long as I can get to all those desktops [13:27] just add them :D [13:27] in preferences or what was it [13:28] was it openboxconfigurator [13:28] it will tweak your lubuntu-rc.xml [13:28] It only lets me add more desktops...has no option for more rows [13:28] and I said you cant get more rows [13:30] bioterror; Why are there options to go up or down to an other desktop? [13:32] Default short is C-Up and C-Down [13:32] MrChrisDruif, http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:FAQ#How_do_I_put_my_desktops_into_a_grid_layout_instead_of_a_single_row.3F [13:32] so it depends on pager/panel [13:33] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/572298 [13:33] Ubuntu bug 572298 in lxpanel (Ubuntu) "LXDE Desktop Pager not capable of multiple rows" [Undecided,Opinion] [13:34] So I'd need to change my pager in order to get it working? [13:35] yes [13:35] try FVWM2, it has many rows ;) [13:38] I what language is lxpanel written? [13:39] most of the LX-stuff is writtein in C++, if I remember right [13:42] Masih gw... === szczur_ is now known as szczur [14:03] General question... How do I lock screen in Lubuntu? [14:03] tried ctrl+alt+l like in ubuntu, but nothing [14:05] ctrl+alt+f1 [14:05] thanks [14:06] poltak; that doesn't lock it [14:06] You go to tty1 then [14:06] jgratero, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ#I%20want%20to%20bind%20key%20to%20lock%20my%20screen,%20how%20do%20I%20do%20it? [14:06] You have to add it in your lubuntu-rc.xml [14:06] thanks [14:06] try it yourself, hero. It says enter username etc [14:07] wait, what's tty1? [14:07] uhm, because it goes to the virtual terminal? [14:07] poltak; That isn't the same as locking ;) [14:07] BRB [14:08] argh it is locking, whatever [14:08] it does the same thing [14:08] nope, because you can press Ctrl+Alt+F7 and you have your screen back [14:08] without entering any password [14:09] Yeah, well I'm pretty sure everyone else at school is not going to realise how to do that, are they? [14:09] So in effect (note I said in effect), it is the SAME as locking [14:09] *rolls eyes* [14:09] but still it's not locking the screen [14:10] What if you have many linux users in home? And they do know how to change terminals? [14:10] okay, in THAT case then you are correct [14:10] in 99% of other cases I AM correct [14:11] I think szczur suggestion is what I'm looking for [14:11] jgratero: heh, whatever [14:11] but thanks to all! [14:12] jgratero: if you don't want to be a brainless nincumpoop, just try what I said first [14:12] just try it and maybe make up your OWN mind on this issue [14:12] if it doesn't work for you, fine. sobeit [14:24] I'll do that [14:30] hi [14:31] i am trying to install lubuntu and i am having some problems [14:31] and those problems are...? [14:31] well, i downloaded the cd from the torrent [14:31] i cheked the md5, and everithing went fine [14:32] i put the disk in the computer, but i cant start the live mode [14:32] it just stop at the command line [14:32] Onionhead: whnen it drops to console, does it say something like "busybox" [14:32] if i choose to install, instead of booting the live sesion [14:32] it crashes halfway through [14:33] nope, it only says desktop$desktop: [14:33] or something similar [14:33] but above the prompt, there's nothin that says "busybox"? [14:33] I havent noticed, right now i have burned the cd a second time [14:34] i am in the install menu [14:34] ok... [14:34] well, couple things... [14:34] ok [14:34] 1. burn the ISO SLOW... i know the md5 checks out fine, etc.. but believe it or not, this can have an effect on the quality of burn... I never burn mine above 4x. [14:34] second.. [14:35] KM0201, you seem to have lots of time [14:35] if it continues to be a problem, download the "Alternate Install CD"... it's a totally text based installer [14:35] bioterror: ? what do you mean by that [14:35] 4x takes so long [14:35] 15mins [14:35] I have 512 ram, i guess the graphical installer should work [14:35] doesn't take long... 5-6min. [14:36] right? [14:36] Onionhead: *should* and *does* are obviously very different [14:36] :P [14:36] ok, lets see how it goes this round [14:36] it says that the installer has failed [14:37] .. [14:37] i will try to start the live session again [14:37] Onionhead: have you ahd other versions of linux on this machine before, or is windows currently on it? [14:37] it used to have ubuntu 10.04 [14:38] i formated the disk with parted magic [14:38] ok [14:38] cause i thought that was causing the problem [14:38] not really sure why that would be.. but.. ok [14:38] (the installer crashes, when it is trying to format the hd) [14:39] (so, i though it could have been a bug in gparted) [14:40] Onionhead: also, assuming it has a wired connection that is recognized, you might wanna try the "Minimal" install... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall [14:40] i am at the command prompt, it doesnt says bussy bux [14:40] ok, give me a sec [14:40] ok.. thast fine. [14:41] it says that it is starting ntp, and blue tooth [14:41] and then it says something about sudo [14:41] and thats all} [14:41] install mini.iso [14:42] and manually lubuntu-desktop [14:42] yeah, i'd use the mini iso as well. [14:42] ok, i will give it a try [14:42] !mini | Onionhead [14:42] Onionhead: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:43] we can then wonder your xorg.0.log [14:43] the problem is that my internet connection is not the greatest [14:43] if you have no quota for the used bw, we have time [14:43] no kidding, i burn cd's at 4x, i havec all day [14:44] and which burner do you recomend? [14:44] im heading to my kids day clubs spring party or something :D [14:44] Onionhead: you could also try the alternate install cd... it would probably work as well... [14:44] they are all the same at the end [14:44] I only have a desktop (the one i am trying to fix) and a netbook [14:44] yeah, [14:45] i am usin my mothers computer (with vista) to burn the cds [14:45] i see [14:45] with img burn [14:45] most of them just have different layout, same libs beneath [14:46] i will download the alt cd, and will let you know when it is ready [14:46] thanks [14:46] ok, gl [14:46] its small [14:46] well, the alternate cd, is the same as the normal cd. [14:46] hmmm [14:47] this is the first time i have been having problems with a linux install (so far i have only used graphical installers) [14:47] we all have our first times [14:47] Onionhead: if you're experienced w/ graphical installers, the alt cd/minimal iso, will probably not be that difficult for you [14:48] actually with mini you get easily the latest packages :D [14:48] true.. [14:49] but it takes longer.. [14:49] is it similar to debian netinstall? [14:49] Onionhead: very. [14:49] yes [14:50] only thing is, i don't recall it giving you a choice in what to download.. it just downloads everything for Ubuntu [14:51] ok, this is weird [14:51] just the core [14:51] i have just booted a mint live cd, with lxde [14:51] and it says that i only have 256 ram, but i actually have 512 [14:52] (and where can i get the minimal cd?) [14:52] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall [14:52] follow the instructions to add Lxde [14:52] sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends [14:53] whast the "no-install-recommends" mean?.. the codecs, etc+ [14:53] ok [14:53] if so, i'd leave that off, but thats me. [14:54] I am already downloading [14:54] its stuff that apt-get recommends [14:54] do you think that the ram may be the problem? [14:54] no [14:55] if ram is problem, usually computer does not boot [14:55] but the live cd should detect the 512, right? [14:55] yup [14:55] ah, ok [14:56] yesterday i was having some problems with my video card, so i disarmed the computer, maybe I did something and that is why it is only detecting half of it [14:56] the --no-install-recommends prevents uneeded packages being installed. [14:56] ic [14:57] just 20 more seconds [14:57] thanks in advance [14:57] :D [14:58] done, i dont have any cds at home, i will go the supermarke, give me a sec [15:00] atleast he buys cd-rs [15:00] i remember that one guy who refused to buy them [15:08] haha, i cant boot from a flash drive, so... [15:08] give me a sec i am going to burn the cd [15:10] bioterror: thats kinda silly, but... i guess. [15:13] ok, i am at the command prompt now [15:14] just hit enter [15:15] then after that, seelect command line install, and follow along. [15:15] ok [15:16] ok, it is downloading some tuff [15:16] i just chose the keyboard and my nationality [15:16] yeah... [15:18] btw, what is the difference between apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade? [15:18] apt-get upgrade, runs system upgrades... [15:19] dist-upgrade, will upgrade a distribution (if you've set up your sources properly). [15:19] in otherwords, upgrade, will giv eyou all the "Natty" upgrades. [15:19] dist-upgrade, i fyou set up your sources(and it was available) would upgrade you to 11.10 [15:20] ic [15:20] so, with ubuntu based stuff it is better to use upgrade [15:20] it depends on what you're doing [15:20] well, for regular updates [15:20] if you don't change your source list, dist-upgrade isn't going to do anything [15:21] it'll just go through and say "no updates" [15:21] ok [15:21] i am at the partition part [15:21] ok. [15:22] do you set up your partitions some specific way, or do you jsut "use whole disk" or whatever it says [15:22] i made three partitions with parted magic [15:22] one for / one for swap and one for /home [15:22] ok. [15:22] should i choose manual then? [15:23] probably, that can be problematic "precreating" your partitions like that... /swap and /home are probably ok, but i would delete and recreate / [15:23] you can just choose manual and ask it to format the partitions [15:23] should work okay [15:24] they're formatted anyway, he formatted the whole disk. [15:24] i see what you're saying though [15:24] that should work also. [15:24] yes but it doesn't hurt and usually works :P [15:24] it "almost always" works.. :) [15:25] ok, done :P [15:25] i chose manual and selected the mounting points [15:25] the only time manual doesnt work is when the choices are wrong lol [15:25] cool [15:25] ok [15:25] that should work fine [15:25] now it is dowloading some other stuff [15:25] thanks [15:25] mnt points /, /home and swap [15:26] yeah [15:26] i've never used the minimal cd, just the live cd's and alt. cds [15:26] on the minimal cd, will it automaticallky install Gnome? or will it just install a command line OS, and then he can install lubuntu? [15:26] any specific reason to use minimal? [15:26] WiZ: live cd won't boot properly [15:26] just command line [15:26] oh ok, thats good, so you don't end up w/ a ton of crap [15:27] WiZ, the live cd was not working for me [15:27] won't boot? - how much RAM? [15:27] 512 [15:27] WiZ, it used to have ubuntu 10.04 [15:27]
