[00:01] 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" [00:02] GTRsdk, sorry not sure I have never tried [00:02] GTRsdk: You should be able to edit settings in /etc/default/grub [00:02] you will need to doall that froma live [00:02] GTRsdk: You also may have to press shift to get to the grub menu. memtest will take forever to run [00:03] Unit193, so run it overnight? [00:03] I thought it was now Tab to get to the menu [00:03] GTRsdk: That's the best idea! [00:03] Rave1: Why would you need to edit that from a CD? [00:04] you were talking about editing the grub config were you not [00:05] You just edit /etc/default/grub then update-grub [00:05] I can edit it from the main system [00:05] Unit193, yes you are correct [00:05] I was thinking of some thing else [00:07] so would it also be a good idea to check for bad sectors on the hard drive? [00:08] GTRsdk, cant hurt [00:09] Rave1, and the best way to do that is to use a live cd? [00:12] GTRsdk, you will need to get some disk check program [00:12] I just use the manufactures programs [00:13] I am sure someone else may have their own favorites [00:13] so the command "e2fsck -c /dev/sda" would work? [00:14] I thought you wanted to check the disc [00:14] but that will check the file system [00:15] which is what I am wanting [00:15] check fsck man pages there are a number of different levels of checks [00:33] where can i have great themes of Lubuntu [00:39] aminiesta, I think that there is little in the way of eye candy for LXDE [00:41] i'm just cannot wait [00:42] the idea of a light environment is to keep it simple [00:47] you mean there'll be no chance to see any new themes? [00:48] aminiesta, there are more themes for LXDE available than what is on the Lubuntu CD [00:48] aminiesta, you can go to http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100&PHPSESSID=300aac75f551aa764ecbcce8396818aa [00:49] this will change the look of the windows (buttons etc.) [00:49] thanks a lot all of you [00:50] and this will change the title bar etc. > http://box-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=7402 [00:55] How can I enable second Keyboard layout [01:42] hi [01:43] anyone else who doesn't like the upgrades that well? [01:44] I mean like from 10.04 to 11.04 [01:44] such a hassle to clean up after [01:45] but I like lubuntu, it has become my main os the last few months === wiZZZZZZone is now known as wizonesolutions [03:18] hey everyone :D [03:19] im thinking about switching from ubuntu to lubuntu, what are the biggest changes ? is it possible to use compiz effects on lubuntu ? === LAcan_ is now known as laCAN [05:46] anybody awake? - I need help with lxterminal and vim color schemes [05:46] lxterminal seems to screw everything up [05:47] hey IdleOne ...

Can anybody help me with this? [11:34] depends what kind of bugs [11:34] and ofcourse bugs are ment to be reported at launchpad.net [11:36] i have a bug with freeze on resume from stand-by. can i fix this using any packeges& [11:37] i have repeated answer on volume control keys on my laptop keyboard [11:38] that suspend problem can be related to acpi or kernel mode settings [11:39] hard to say [11:39] you can try kernel parameters [11:39] like "nomodeset" for disabling kms [11:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common%20Boot%20Options more about them [11:43] can i try this params on livecd? [11:43] sure [11:44] what is kms? kernel mode service? [11:44] kernel mode setting [11:45] my dell d600 had problems with resuming from suspend [11:45] and disabling kms solved my problems [11:45] some people are adding bios passwords on that :D [11:45] what I've been watching launchpad discussions [11:48] Anyone successfully use KDE with lubuntu? [11:48] why? [11:48] doesnt that fight against the idea of lubuntu provide light and fast DE? [11:49] I'm allowed to ask this question, bioterror. [11:52] and then again [11:52] your question doesnt have head or tail [11:53] what parts of KDE should be used succesfully with Lubuntu? [11:53] replace pcmanfm with Dolphin? [11:53] use Plasma desktop? [11:53] Use entire KDE replacement of LXDE elements. THAT is what I am asking. [11:54] why not just use kubuntu then? [11:56] Ergh, you're ignored. Anyone want answer my question? [12:05] i`ve a bug with lubuntu 11.04 when i resumed from stand by, nomodeset don`t helps me [12:06] attractive, check logs [12:06] what log file?

[17:53] My name is Dooitze and my computer is a Compaq [18:36] ahh thanks lubuntu for breathing life into my ancient laptop =) [18:37] Daxwax: nice [18:37] Daxwax: just how old was the laptop [18:37] hmm not quite sure... but the specs is 650mhz 256mb ram :) [18:38] it was pretty damn good when I bought it though [18:39] Daxwax: ah yes that is right up lubuntus alley :D [18:40] 9-10 years old i recon === Vinylourson is now known as Vinylourson_ === Vinylourson_ is now known as Vinylourson [19:27] Daxwax: that is what lubuntu is good at [19:29] had to use the mini iso to install without the gui though [19:29] hrm 256 mb ram should have been good enough to install with graphcis [19:30] but whatever works its still great [19:30] yeah... I thought so as well, but the installer wouldn't work [19:30] 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 [19:32] no matter how you burn the cd, it just wont make the ubiquity any better [19:32] 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] churly: you want to add a program shortcut to the logout menu? [19:33] churly, /usr/share/applications/fooooo.desktop and the category describes the menu place [19:33] freedesktop has documentation [19:34] 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] freedesktop? I'll browse. [19:34] churly, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ has a link [19:34] bioterror, Thanks a bunch, will go look now [19:57] exit [20:04] how about defragment in lubuntu? same like in windows? [20:05] and what file system use 11.04 [20:06] modris 11.04 uses ext4, which has minimal fragmentation, there is some that goes on, but nothing as to the likes of windows. [20:07] phillw, ok, i try read litle about ext4... and dont need thinking about defrag, yes? [20:07] I can get you an article on it... just give me a few minutes. [20:09] teory about ext4 is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 [20:09] maybe you have some interesting reading material about it! [20:10] not very technical, with general point of pluses and minuses [20:13] BTRFS should get less fragmented than ext4 [20:22] thnk bioterror. there is link for others if interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs [20:23] but does ext4 have that online defrag? :) [20:25] 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] yeah, cant find it anymore ;) [20:26] about online defrag for ext4 https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Online_defragmentation [20:27] https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto ... lol modris :) [20:28] I was also looking at their 'official' site. and looking for the command to test howmuc fragemntation you had.
