[00:01] <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"
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <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?
[00:04] <Rave1> you were talking about editing the grub config were you not
[00:05] <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
[00:07] <GTRsdk> so would it also be a good idea to check for bad sectors on the hard drive?
[00:08] <Rave1> GTRsdk,  cant hurt
[00:09] <GTRsdk> Rave1, and the best way to do that is to use a live cd?
[00:12] <Rave1> GTRsdk,  you will need to get some disk check program
[00:12] <Rave1> I just use the manufactures programs
[00:13] <Rave1> I am sure someone else may have their own favorites
[00:13] <GTRsdk> so the command "e2fsck -c /dev/sda" would work?
[00:14] <Rave1> I thought you wanted to check the disc
[00:14] <Rave1> but that will check the file system
[00:15] <GTRsdk> which is what I am wanting
[00:15] <Rave1> check   fsck  man pages there are a number of different levels of checks
[00:33] <aminiesta> where can i have great themes of Lubuntu
[00:39] <Rave1> aminiesta,  I think that there is little in the way of eye candy for LXDE
[00:41] <aminiesta> i'm just cannot wait
[00:42] <Rave1> the idea of  a light environment is to keep it simple
[00:47] <aminiesta> you mean there'll be no chance to see any new themes?
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <szczur> this will change the look of the windows (buttons etc.)
[00:49] <aminiesta> thanks a lot all of you
[00:50] <szczur> and this will change the title bar etc. > http://box-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=7402
[00:55] <aminiesta> How can I enable second Keyboard layout
[01:42] <silverarrow> hi
[01:43] <silverarrow> anyone else who doesn't like the upgrades that well?
[01:44] <silverarrow>  I mean like from 10.04 to 11.04
[01:44] <silverarrow> such a hassle to clean up after
[01:45] <silverarrow> but I like lubuntu, it has become my main os the last few months
[03:18] <Busigast> hey everyone :D
[03:19] <Busigast> im thinking about switching from ubuntu to lubuntu, what are the biggest changes ? is it possible to use compiz effects on lubuntu ?
[05:46] <palhmbs> anybody awake? - I need help with lxterminal and vim color schemes
[05:46] <palhmbs> lxterminal seems to screw everything up
[05:47] <palhmbs> hey IdleOne ...
[05:47] <palhmbs> got any tips for fixing vim colors in lxterminal?
[05:47] <bioterror> http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Change_the_color_scheme
[05:47] <palhmbs> bioterror, omg, really it's not that simple surely?
[05:48] <palhmbs> bioterror, http://www.vi-improved.org/color_sampler_pack/ << --- tried all these and they are just awful
[05:48] <bioterror> then configure your own color schemes
[05:48] <palhmbs> http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?t=1421&f=26#p3938 <<-- found this then decided to come here...
[05:49] <palhmbs> yah - that's just what I want to do
[05:49] <palhmbs> I just thought some helpful lubuntu user would have a nice dark scheme already setup for vim
[05:49] <palhmbs> to save me some work
[05:50] <bioterror> we all use leafpad ":D"
[05:50] <Unit193> or nano...
[05:51] <poltak> derp
[05:51] <palhmbs> flip, you 2 are kidding right?
[05:51] <palhmbs> nano - omg, that's so funny
[05:51] <bioterror> palhmbs, /usr/share/vim/vim7X/colors
[05:51] <bioterror> there's your themes
[05:52] <bioterror> take one, edit it as you wish and enjoy your vi improved
[05:53] <palhmbs> hey - slate is not bad
[05:54] <palhmbs> thanks!!
[11:34] <attractive> Hello all, i`m using Lubuntu 11.04 release on my OEM version of Mio Litepad N890 and have much of bugs. Can anybody help me with this?
[11:34] <bioterror> depends what kind of bugs
[11:34] <bioterror> and ofcourse bugs are ment to be reported at launchpad.net
[11:36] <attractive> i have a bug with freeze on resume from stand-by. can i fix this using any packeges&
[11:37] <attractive> i have repeated answer on volume control keys on my laptop keyboard
[11:38] <bioterror> that suspend problem can be related to acpi or kernel mode settings
[11:39] <bioterror> hard to say
[11:39] <bioterror> you can try kernel parameters
[11:39] <bioterror> like "nomodeset" for disabling kms
[11:40] <bioterror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common%20Boot%20Options more about them
[11:43] <attractive> can i try this params on livecd?
[11:43] <bioterror> sure
[11:44] <attractive> what is kms? kernel mode service?
[11:44] <bioterror> kernel mode setting
[11:45] <bioterror> my dell d600 had problems with resuming from suspend
[11:45] <bioterror> and disabling kms solved my problems
[11:45] <bioterror> some people are adding bios passwords on that :D
[11:45] <bioterror> what I've been watching launchpad discussions
[11:48] <poltak_> Anyone successfully use KDE with lubuntu?
[11:48] <bioterror> why?
[11:48] <bioterror> doesnt that fight against the idea of lubuntu provide light and fast DE?
[11:49] <poltak_> I'm allowed to ask this question, bioterror.
[11:52] <bioterror> and then again
[11:52] <bioterror> your question doesnt have head or tail
[11:53] <bioterror> what parts of KDE should be used succesfully with Lubuntu?
[11:53] <bioterror> replace pcmanfm with Dolphin?
[11:53] <bioterror> use Plasma desktop?
[11:53] <poltak_> Use entire KDE replacement of LXDE elements. THAT is what I am asking.
[11:54] <bioterror> why not just use kubuntu then?
[11:56] <poltak_> Ergh, you're ignored. Anyone want answer my question?
[12:05] <attractive> i`ve a bug with lubuntu 11.04 when i resumed from stand by, nomodeset don`t helps me
[12:06] <bioterror> attractive, check logs
[12:06] <attractive> what log file?
[12:07] <attractive> /var/logs/... - ?
[12:08] <bioterror> like messages
[13:03] <poltak_> i love sausage... yummm
[17:13] <DooitzeCompaq> goodafternoon
[17:24] <DooitzeCompaq> Welcome Mikelevel and mark76
[17:52] <DooitzeCompaq> Welcome Semitones, hyperair and siriusly
[17:52] <stlsaint> DooitzeCompaq: hello
[17:52] <stlsaint> DooitzeCompaq: whats with nick?
[17:53] <DooitzeCompaq> My name is Dooitze and my computer is a Compaq
[18:36] <Daxwax> ahh thanks lubuntu for breathing life into my ancient laptop =)
[18:37] <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 :)
[18:38] <Daxwax> it was pretty damn good when I bought it though
[18:39] <stlsaint> Daxwax: ah yes that is right up lubuntus alley :D
[18:40] <Daxwax> 9-10 years old i recon
[19:27] <stlsaint> Daxwax: that is what lubuntu is good at
[19:29] <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
[19:30] <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
[19:32] <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?
[19:33] <bioterror> churly, /usr/share/applications/fooooo.desktop and the category describes the menu place
[19:33] <bioterror> freedesktop has documentation
[19:34] <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] <churly> bioterror, Thanks a bunch, will go look now
[19:57] <stlsaint> exit
[20:04] <modris> how about defragment in lubuntu? same like in windows?
[20:05] <modris> and what file system use 11.04
[20:06] <phillw> modris 11.04 uses ext4, which has minimal fragmentation, there is some that goes on, but nothing as to the likes of windows.
[20:07] <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.
[20:09] <modris> teory about ext4 is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4
[20:09] <modris> maybe you have some interesting reading material about it!
[20:10] <modris> not very technical, with general point of pluses and minuses
[20:13] <bioterror> BTRFS should get less fragmented than ext4
[20:22] <modris> thnk bioterror. there is link for others if interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs
[20:23] <bioterror> but does ext4 have that online defrag? :)
[20:25] <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 ;)
[20:26] <modris> about online defrag for ext4 https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Online_defragmentation
[20:27] <phillw> https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto ... lol modris :)
[20:28] <phillw> I was also looking at their 'official' site. and looking for the command to test howmuc fragemntation you had.
[20:28] <phillw> *how much*

[23:16] <Daxwax> I'm currently running it on 640mhz 256mb ram, so yeah.. should work :)
[23:16] <cobra-the-joker> Daxwax: and its not sluggish or anything ?
[23:16] <Daxwax> well.. a bit perhaps, but nothing compared to when I ran winxp on it

[23:17] <cobra-the-joker> Daxwax: what about your VGA ?
[23:18] <Daxwax> some integrated ati chipset, haven't really looked into that yet
