| GTRsdk | and.. how do I get the GRUB menu appear? how do I set the resolution for that? When GRUB would normally appear, the monitor says "Out of range" | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Rave1 | GTRsdk, sorry not sure I have never tried | 00:02 |
| Unit193 | GTRsdk: You should be able to edit settings in /etc/default/grub | 00:02 |
| Rave1 | you will need to doall that froma live | 00:02 |
| Unit193 | GTRsdk: You also may have to press shift to get to the grub menu. memtest will take forever to run | 00:02 |
| GTRsdk | Unit193, so run it overnight? | 00:03 |
| Rave1 | I thought it was now Tab to get to the menu | 00:03 |
| Unit193 | GTRsdk: That's the best idea! | 00:03 |
| Unit193 | Rave1: Why would you need to edit that from a CD? | 00:03 |
| Rave1 | you were talking about editing the grub config were you not | 00:04 |
| Unit193 | You just edit /etc/default/grub then update-grub | 00:05 |
| GTRsdk | I can edit it from the main system | 00:05 |
| Rave1 | Unit193, yes you are correct | 00:05 |
| Rave1 | I was thinking of some thing else | 00:05 |
| GTRsdk | so would it also be a good idea to check for bad sectors on the hard drive? | 00:07 |
| Rave1 | GTRsdk, cant hurt | 00:08 |
| GTRsdk | Rave1, and the best way to do that is to use a live cd? | 00:09 |
| Rave1 | GTRsdk, you will need to get some disk check program | 00:12 |
| Rave1 | I just use the manufactures programs | 00:12 |
| Rave1 | I am sure someone else may have their own favorites | 00:13 |
| GTRsdk | so the command "e2fsck -c /dev/sda" would work? | 00:13 |
| Rave1 | I thought you wanted to check the disc | 00:14 |
| Rave1 | but that will check the file system | 00:14 |
| GTRsdk | which is what I am wanting | 00:15 |
| Rave1 | check fsck man pages there are a number of different levels of checks | 00:15 |
| aminiesta | where can i have great themes of Lubuntu | 00:33 |
| Rave1 | aminiesta, I think that there is little in the way of eye candy for LXDE | 00:39 |
| aminiesta | i'm just cannot wait | 00:41 |
| Rave1 | the idea of a light environment is to keep it simple | 00:42 |
| aminiesta | you mean there'll be no chance to see any new themes? | 00:47 |
| Rave1 | aminiesta, there are more themes for LXDE available than what is on the Lubuntu CD | 00:48 |
| szczur | aminiesta, you can go to http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100&PHPSESSID=300aac75f551aa764ecbcce8396818aa | 00:48 |
| szczur | this will change the look of the windows (buttons etc.) | 00:49 |
| aminiesta | thanks a lot all of you | 00:49 |
| szczur | and this will change the title bar etc. > http://box-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=7402 | 00:50 |
| aminiesta | How can I enable second Keyboard layout | 00:55 |

| bioterror | that suspend problem can be related to acpi or kernel mode settings | 11:38 |
| bioterror | hard to say | 11:39 |
| bioterror | you can try kernel parameters | 11:39 |
| bioterror | like "nomodeset" for disabling kms | 11:39 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common%20Boot%20Options more about them | 11:40 |
| attractive | can i try this params on livecd? | 11:43 |

| bioterror | use Plasma desktop? | 11:53 |
| poltak_ | Use entire KDE replacement of LXDE elements. THAT is what I am asking. | 11:53 |

| Daxwax | ahh thanks lubuntu for breathing life into my ancient laptop =) | 18:36 |
| stlsaint | Daxwax: nice | 18:37 |
| stlsaint | Daxwax: just how old was the laptop | 18:37 |
| Daxwax | hmm not quite sure... but the specs is 650mhz 256mb ram :) | 18:37 |
| Daxwax | it was pretty damn good when I bought it though | 18:38 |
| stlsaint | Daxwax: ah yes that is right up lubuntus alley :D | 18:39 |

| === Vinylourson_ is now known as Vinylourson | ||
| stlsaint | Daxwax: that is what lubuntu is good at | 19:27 |
| Daxwax | had to use the mini iso to install without the gui though | 19:29 |
| stlsaint | hrm 256 mb ram should have been good enough to install with graphcis | 19:29 |
| stlsaint | but whatever works its still great | 19:30 |
| Daxwax | yeah... I thought so as well, but the installer wouldn't work | 19:30 |
| Daxwax | I've got the gui now, it was just the installer that demanded a bit too much, or perhaps the cd wasn't burned properly | 19:30 |
| bioterror | no matter how you burn the cd, it just wont make the ubiquity any better | 19:32 |
| churly | Does anyone know how to put a program shortcut on the base main menu? Similar to "Run" and "Logout"? I can't see to find a guide which describes this process, and tinkering hasn't been overly successful. | 19:32 |
| stlsaint | churly: you want to add a program shortcut to the logout menu? | 19:32 |
| bioterror | churly, /usr/share/applications/fooooo.desktop and the category describes the menu place | 19:33 |
| bioterror | freedesktop has documentation | 19:33 |
| churly | stlsaint, No, I want to add a program shortcut to the main menu, but NOT in a Category like Interet/Accessories/etc. I played with the foo.desktop files, using "Run" and "Logout" as a template (since they are on the base menu, not in a category) but I was unsucesful. I also tried editting the lxpanel config. | 19:34 |
| churly | freedesktop? I'll browse. | 19:34 |
| bioterror | churly, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ has a link | 19:34 |

| modris | how about defragment in lubuntu? same like in windows? | 20:04 |
| modris | and what file system use 11.04 | 20:05 |
| phillw | modris 11.04 uses ext4, which has minimal fragmentation, there is some that goes on, but nothing as to the likes of windows. | 20:06 |
| modris | phillw, ok, i try read litle about ext4... and dont need thinking about defrag, yes? | 20:07 |
| phillw | I can get you an article on it... just give me a few minutes. | 20:07 |
| modris | teory about ext4 is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 | 20:09 |
| modris | maybe you have some interesting reading material about it! | 20:09 |
| modris | not very technical, with general point of pluses and minuses | 20:10 |
| bioterror | BTRFS should get less fragmented than ext4 | 20:13 |
| modris | thnk bioterror. there is link for others if interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs | 20:22 |
| bioterror | but does ext4 have that online defrag? :) | 20:23 |
| phillw | bioterror: it does, but it depends on which kernel you are using, there is / was e4defrag, along with using the e2fsprogs with the ext4 switch. | 20:25 |
| bioterror | yeah, cant find it anymore ;) | 20:25 |
| modris | about online defrag for ext4 https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Online_defragmentation | 20:26 |
| phillw | https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto ... lol modris :) | 20:27 |
| phillw | I was also looking at their 'official' site. and looking for the command to test howmuc fragemntation you had. | 20:28 |
