| bU1337Pr00f | I just have a single question. Does Lubuntu support 64 bit architectures or is it only 32 bit? I was confused that there was only one .iso file to download off the site. | 04:27 |
| KM0201 | bU1337Pr00f: the 64bit version (for now) isn't officially part of Lubuntu (a community port, of a community port..)... at last i think thats how it is. | 04:28 |
| Unit193 | bU1337Pr00f: There is a community edition at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GetLubuntu | 04:29 |
| bU1337Pr00f | So there won't be official support for 64 bit until the release of 11.10? | 04:30 |
| poltak_ | No modern processors even support 64bit yet, so why would you even care unless you were running a supercomputer? :P | 04:31 |
| poltak_ | (which I'm assuming you're not) | 04:31 |
| KM0201 | bU1337Pr00f: far as i know, that is correct, but Unit193 would know better than i | 04:32 |
| bU1337Pr00f | poltak: then what is ia64 and x86_64? | 04:32 |
| poltak_ | ia64 is itanium thingy... not really a common processor | 04:33 |
| bU1337Pr00f | True, but x86_64 if very common. | 04:33 |
| poltak_ | x86_64 is for further advanced machines (not commercial) | 04:33 |
| bU1337Pr00f | well thanks for the answer. I'll leave a spot in my CD wallet for when Oneiric comes out. | 04:40 |
| poltak_ | np | 04:41 |
| Unit193 | poltak_: That is totally wrong. 64bit supported processors VERY common... | 04:41 |
| Unit193 | +are | 04:41 |
| poltak_ | Unit193: Okay Tron :P | 04:42 |
| * jgould has two 64 bit processors | 04:44 | |
| jgould | they are x86_64's | 04:45 |
| poltak_ | Ergh, you guys are imbeciles. Going back to my work. | 04:46 |
| bU1337Pr00f | I run a dual-core 64bit, that's why I asked. | 04:46 |
| Unit193 | bioterror Howdy hoho! | 04:46 |
| canthus13 | bU1337Pr00f: Which OS? | 04:48 |
| bU1337Pr00f | Right now Ubuntu Natty. | 04:48 |
| canthus13 | bU1337Pr00f: 32 or 64? | 04:48 |
| bU1337Pr00f | 64 | 04:48 |
| canthus13 | :) | 04:48 |
| * canthus13 runs 32 on most of his machines, just for compatibility's sake, but runs Debian 64 on his servers with 64 bit processors. | 04:49 | |
| bU1337Pr00f | I was thinking of shit canning it and switching to Gentoo, but it takes too long. | 04:49 |
| bU1337Pr00f | I was running Gentoo on my server. Old beat up Celeron 466. Takes 9 hours to complie the kernel... | 04:50 |
| canthus13 | Heh. That's why I stick with Debian for my servers.. precompiled, and works fine. I was running it quite nicely on a 500mhz P3 with 128mb ram.. until I 'upgraded' the CPU and killed it, anyway... :/ | 04:54 |
| bU1337Pr00f | That's why I like Gentoo. I can control just about everything. My next project is LFS. | 04:57 |
| canthus13 | I've worked on and off with an LFS install in a VM for a while.... It's tedious. | 04:58 |
| canthus13 | It's way more annoying than a stage one install. | 04:58 |
| bU1337Pr00f | Yeah... it's mento to be | 04:58 |
| canthus13 | It's like making your own legos, then building a house with them. | 04:58 |
| bU1337Pr00f | I build houses too. ^_^ Don't use Legos though. Well logging off chan. Thanks for the info guys. | 04:59 |

| jarnos | How can you set autostarted applications in lubuntu natty? | 12:41 |
| bioterror | easily | 12:44 |
| bioterror | :) | 12:44 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ | 12:45 |
| jarnos | bioterror, I tried that, but the item (for pidgin) is not chown in the list | 13:24 |
| jarnos | bioterror, I could not find the documentation via lubuntu.net, btw. | 13:25 |
| jarnos | bioterror, if it was easy, there would not be faq ;) | 13:26 |
| jarnos | ^^^shown | 13:29 |
| bioterror | you dont have pidgin.desktop in /usr/share/applications/ ? | 13:32 |
| jarnos | bioterror, yes I have an I copied it to ~/.config/autostart | 13:57 |
| jarnos | bioterror, xchat.desktop does affect the list, when I copied it. | 14:31 |
| SpaceBack | hi ! | 14:39 |
| SpaceBack | i need the lubuntu alternate cd,i just cant find it | 14:40 |
| Daxwax | I guess he found it =) | 14:52 |
| mimilus_ | plop | 15:06 |
| mimilus_ | Is there a place to find an iso for lubuntu 10.04 ? not a torrent please ! | 15:06 |
| mimilus_ | How amount of memory does lubuntu eat by default ? | 15:07 |
| phillw | mimilus_: yes the link in the topic has all the methods of getting lubuntu | 15:07 |
| * mimilus_ is opening eyes | 15:09 | |
| phillw | mimilus_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GetLubuntu | 15:09 |
| mimilus_ | ah ok, thank's | 15:09 |
| mimilus_ | the iso are live cd like standart ubuntu CDs ? | 15:10 |
| phillw | 128Mb is about the minimum for lubuntu | 15:10 |
| phillw | yes | 15:10 |
| mimilus_ | ok thank's | 15:10 |
| phillw | just bear in mind the 'check cd' does not work on 10.04 (Save you thinking it was a corrupt download / burn) | 15:11 |
| mimilus_ | ok thank's , at the end of the install, just before reboot ? | 15:12 |
| phillw | sorry? | 15:13 |
| mimilus_ | check cd does not work, in the menu after boot ? | 15:13 |
| * mimilus_ 's trying to connect synapses | 15:14 | |
| phillw | yes, you need to manually verify it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/10.04 | 15:15 |
| mimilus_ | so I'll see it , that's it ? | 15:15 |
| mimilus_ | ok thank's | 15:15 |
| jarnos | Can someone add pidgin to autostarted applications? | 15:53 |
| stlsaint | jarnos: you can on your install ;) | 15:54 |
| jarnos | stlsaint, like how? | 15:54 |
| Unit193 | jarnos: Is that what you want to do? There is a sweet wiki page telling you how: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ | 15:55 |
| jarnos | Unit193, for some reason it does not work for pidgin.desktop in Natty. | 15:57 |
| Unit193 | jarnos: You're talking about program launch on login? | 15:59 |
| jarnos | Unit193, I can't see pidgin in Desktop Session Settings dialog even if I copy pidgin.desktop to ~/.config/autostart | 16:00 |
| jarnos | Unit193, it is strange, since I can add xchat to autostarted in similar way, actually it shows enabled in the dialog, if I copy the respective file. | 16:13 |
| jarnos | Even if not shown in the dialog, pidgin gets autostarted in login. | 16:16 |
| Unit193 | jarnos: That does seem a little odd... | 16:16 |
| home-alone | hi....what are the system requirements for Lubuntu...??? | 18:22 |
| mikedep334 | home-alone: with 10.04 at least, basically any computer with 128MB of RAM | 18:43 |
| mikedep334 | eg, you could use a 300 mhz CPU if you had to | 18:44 |
| mikedep334 | a video card that can do 1024x768 would be safe | 18:44 |
| faaar | hello | 18:44 |
| mikedep334 | keyboard + mouse, stuff like a trackball should work too | 18:44 |
| mikedep334 | home-alone: oh, at least 3GB of HDD space or so | 18:44 |
| faaar | someone can help me?how can i install skype on lubuntu 11.04? | 18:44 |
| mikedep334 | faaar, I know that if you install the ubuntu software center you can install it from the "canonical partners" | 18:45 |
| mikedep334 | let me see if there's a direct way | 18:45 |
| mikedep334 | faaar: can you try running: sudo software-properties-gtk | 18:46 |
| faaar | i ll try | 18:46 |
| mikedep334 | if it works, go to the "other software" tab | 18:46 |
| mikedep334 | and enable the partner repository (not the one with source code) | 18:47 |
| faaar | yes | 18:47 |
| faaar | now what? | 18:47 |
| mikedep334 | if that works, open up synpatic package manager | 18:47 |
| mikedep334 | hit "reload" or whatever in the top left | 18:47 |
| mikedep334 | and search for skype | 18:47 |
| mikedep334 | select it | 18:47 |
| mikedep334 | hit install | 18:47 |
| mikedep334 | it should then install | 18:48 |
| Unit193 | mikedep334: You really should use gksudo with GUI apps! | 18:48 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: ahh, thanks | 18:48 |
| faaar | it works,thanks mikedep334 | 18:50 |
| mikedep334 | faaar: glad to be of help! | 18:50 |
| mikedep334 | run a test call though | 18:50 |
| home-alone | does Lubuntu uses only LXDE as DE...??? | 18:51 |
| mikedep334 | home-alone: you can add other desktop environments if you want | 18:51 |
| mikedep334 | I'm almost definite you chose between them at the login prompt | 18:51 |
| mikedep334 | it's part of LXDM | 18:51 |
| mikedep334 | LXDE Display Manager | 18:51 |
| mikedep334 | eg, you can install the "ubuntu-desktop" package to get gnome | 18:52 |
| home-alone | but then it will nomore Lubuntu...??? | 18:52 |
| Unit193 | Don't forget about the openbox | 18:52 |
| home-alone | "L"in lubuntu is LXDE | 18:52 |
| mikedep334 | then went prompted, chose to stick with lxdm as the display manager | 18:52 |
| mikedep334 | home-alone: Lubuntu uses LXDE, Ubuntu uses gnome. Whichever one you start out with doesn't matter too much. | 18:53 |
| mikedep334 | AFAIK, if you're switching between GNOME & LXDE, the only real difference between Ubuntu & Lubuntu is the artwork on bootup & the display manager | 18:54 |
| mikedep334 | just keep in mind that installing Ubuntu-Desktop will install ALL the standard GNOME Ubuntu packages | 18:54 |
| mikedep334 | it will take up a lot of space | 18:54 |
| mikedep334 | and GNOME apps will use up more memory than LXDE (or regular GTK) apps in general | 18:55 |
| home-alone | I will go with default Lubuntu . I have a fairly old pc its PII with 256 ram and 20 gb HD | 18:55 |
| Unit193 | Ubuntu went Unity, so not so much gnome ;) | 18:56 |
| mikedep334 | home-alone: Ubuntu 10.04 should run great on there | 18:57 |
| home-alone | no ubuntu 10.04 is pretty slow on it | 18:57 |
| mikedep334 | Ubuntu 11.04 used up like 256MB for me out-of-box, but I think there may have been something wrong or a hardware-specific memory usage issue. | 18:57 |
| mikedep334 | Ubuntu 11.04 should defniitely run on it though | 18:58 |
| Unit193 | mikedep334: s/Ubuntu/Luubuntu ? | 18:58 |
| mikedep334 | home-alone: do not expect 11.04 to be significantly faster than 10.04 though | 18:58 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: my bad | 18:58 |
| mikedep334 | Lubuntu | 18:58 |
| mikedep334 | *Lubuntu 11.04 used up like 200-250 MB of RAM for me out-of-box for some reason, but I think there may have been something wrong... | 18:59 |
| mikedep334 | home-alone: you might want to try the 'midori' web browser if web browsing goes slow | 18:59 |
| mikedep334 | also, try not run too many apps at once (but that's generic advice) | 18:59 |
| mikedep334 | also, here's the latest version of midori: https://launchpad.net/~midori/+archive/ppa | 19:00 |
| mikedep334 | let me know if you need help installing it from the PPA | 19:00 |
| Unit193 | I have heard good things about arora too (Midori is a great browser, if a little buggy) | 19:00 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: haven't tried it | 19:00 |
| mikedep334 | I know many people are using epiphany too, it's lightweight now that it uses webkit | 19:01 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: Arora uses QT though, QT would take up some extra memory on his system | 19:02 |
| Unit193 | mikedep334: Yeah... That is the downside. I personally use midori | 19:04 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: yup | 19:06 |
| mikedep334 | I mainly know about this stuff for when I am helping people with old systems | 19:07 |
| mikedep334 | I use firefox or chome myself | 19:07 |
| mikedep334 | *chrome | 19:07 |
| Unit193 | Chrome? Not Chromium? | 19:08 |
| kosaidpo | hello guys | 19:11 |
| kosaidpo | anyone know a good app to convert files to mp4 ?? | 19:12 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: assuming you mean apple mp4 files, then handbrake should do a good job | 19:16 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: I use Chrome. I am also on Windows most of the time (ie, now) | 19:16 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: thanks ill try it now ,btw i mean an application by app : D | 19:17 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: np, every body knows application = app | 19:17 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: what (L)ubuntu release are you on? | 19:18 |
| mikedep334 | here's the PPA for Lucid and older | 19:18 |
| mikedep334 | https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa | 19:18 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: 11.04 | 19:18 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: ahh, good | 19:19 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: but its not availabe tho :P | 19:19 |
| mikedep334 | handbrake-gtk is the package you want, it's in the default repositories | 19:19 |
| mikedep334 | hmm | 19:19 |
| kosaidpo | i have to add the repo mikedep334 | 19:19 |
| mikedep334 | maybe I got it from another repo | 19:19 |
| kosaidpo | ohh okies no console version ?? i wud like it if its lighter n faster | 19:20 |
| Unit193 | !info handbreak-gtk | 19:20 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: oh, there should be handbrake-cli | 19:20 |
| ubot5 | Package handbreak-gtk does not exist in natty | 19:20 |
| mikedep334 | I assumed you weren't fluent with the CLI | 19:20 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: im not tho but ilike to use it :D | 19:21 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: getdeb has handbrake-gtk & handbrake-cli | 19:21 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: cool | 19:21 |
| kosaidpo | so i can be fluent in the future | 19:21 |
| mikedep334 | the PPA is only for lucid and older | 19:21 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: ohhh okies | 19:21 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: http://www.getdeb.net/software/HandBrake | 19:22 |
| mikedep334 | looks like you'll have to add the entire getdeb repo | 19:22 |
| mikedep334 | that link does not include the handbrake-cli package | 19:23 |
| mikedep334 | http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/11.04/?q=handbrake | 19:23 |
| mikedep334 | see the "Click here to learn how to install application from getdeb" | 19:23 |
| kosaidpo | i dont mind addin the getden repo i have already the game one :D | 19:23 |
| mikedep334 | follow the instructions, and then you should be able to find handbrake-cli in synaptic | 19:23 |
| Unit193 | or apt-get ;) | 19:24 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: or "sudo aptitude install handbrake-cli" | 19:24 |
| mikedep334 | I for one will mourn the loss of aptitude on the ubuntu-desktop CD | 19:25 |
| Unit193 | I won't as I use apt-get full time | 19:25 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: gotcha | 19:25 |
| mikedep334 | I have a ton of trouble whenever I try to use the interactive mode of aptitude | 19:25 |
| Unit193 | mikedep334: Have you looked at pastebinit? That's one program I want by default | 19:25 |
| mikedep334 | but the command line mode (if that is the correct term) has more feature than apt-get | 19:26 |
| mikedep334 | try entering "aptitude " then hitting tab | 19:26 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: i use apt-get too :D | 19:26 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: no, sounds cool though | 19:26 |
| Unit193 | mikedep334: lspci |pastebinit | usage :D | 19:27 |
| kosaidpo | guys icant add the deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps using the cmmd line ?? | 19:27 |
| mikedep334 | for example, try "aptitude search <part-of-package-name>" | 19:27 |
| kosaidpo | i mean with apt-add-repo | 19:27 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: ahh! good test case. | 19:27 |
| Unit193 | mikedep334: apt-cache search lala | 19:27 |
| Unit193 | mikedep334: Maybe we should take this -offtopic... | 19:27 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: use sudo dpkg -i <getdeb-.deb-file-name> | 19:28 |
| mikedep334 | or double click the getdeb repository-adding deb | 19:28 |
| mikedep334 | in case that works | 19:28 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: I'm about to head out | 19:28 |
| kosaidpo | miked yeh i kno it will im jst curious how to add a non launchapd repo using the console for ex this one sudo apt-add-repository deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps | 19:29 |
| * kosaidpo this does work | 19:29 | |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: in case you don't know, you do need to use sudo | 19:29 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: what ?? i use this ---> sudo apt-add-repository deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps BUT its not wokin | 19:30 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: the line "deb http://arhive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps" needs to be entered in software-properties-gtk | 19:30 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: so thers no way to do it via the console ? | 19:31 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: it's a different syntax | 19:31 |
| mikedep334 | let me look it up | 19:31 |
| kosaidpo | k | 19:31 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: apt-add-repository is only for PPA's it sounds like | 19:32 |
| mikedep334 | try running just: | 19:32 |
| mikedep334 | sudo deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps | 19:33 |
| mikedep334 | then the 2nd command they tell you to for the signature | 19:33 |
| kosaidpo | not workin | 19:33 |
| kosaidpo | :P | 19:33 |
| mikedep334 | hmm | 19:35 |
| mikedep334 | the deb command does not exist | 19:35 |
| mikedep334 | oh, ok | 19:35 |
| mikedep334 | run: | 19:35 |
| mikedep334 | sudo apt-add-repository http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps | 19:35 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: this one doesnt work | 19:36 |
| mikedep334 | kosaidpo: for reference, I looked this up by running: apt-add-repository --help | 19:36 |
| mikedep334 | hmm | 19:36 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: yesh :P | 19:38 |
| mikedep334 | got it! | 19:38 |
| mikedep334 | sudo apt-add-repository 'http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu natty-getdeb apps' | 19:38 |
| mikedep334 | for reference | 19:38 |
| mikedep334 | you chould probably put the original line (beginning with 'deb') into a file like /etc/apt/sources.list | 19:39 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: how do you echo a line into a file with >> when you need to use sudo? | 19:39 |
| kosaidpo | okies thanks | 19:39 |
| mikedep334 | I thought it complains about permissions | 19:40 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: even i already did it using the gui :P | 19:40 |
| Unit193 | mikedep334: I just use sudo nano | 19:40 |
| mikedep334 | Unit193: yeah, me too | 19:40 |
| kosaidpo | mikedep334: i guess sudo echo "hello" > filename | 19:40 |

| mikedep334 | last weekend I was there with my viewsonic gtablet, after talking to an apple store employee for a bit he encouraged me to apply for a job at the apple store | 19:45 |
| mikedep334 | Kurdistan: I didn't get a chance to play with it too much; I installed it on a machine with either a failing HDD & DVD drive, or a failing storage controller | 19:46 |
| Kurdistan | mikedep334, I see. better luck later then. | 19:46 |
| d3vl1n | hi all | 21:04 |
| semitones | hey you guys | 21:45 |
| semitones | i'm running lubuntu from USB, and it's not detecting my wifi card that it should detect (texas instruments acx) | 21:45 |
| szczur | i guess tiacx modules were removed form kernel around ubuntu 9.10. You'll have to use windows drivers with ndiswrapper. | 21:53 |
| szczur | http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-kernel-team/273818-ubutu-karmic-module-acx-dropped.html | 21:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | I am looking for advice on how to make an iso bootable from grub2 without installing the iso | 22:47 |
| bodhi_zazen | I understand lubuntu has been modified to allow this, but can not find documentation of how to do this | 22:47 |
| bodhi_zazen | anyone here able to shed some light on the question ? | 22:47 |
| Unit193 | bodhi_zazen: You're asking about changes to the ISO? That's best for jmarsden, gilir or maybe even bioterror | 22:50 |
| Unit193 | ISO Building that is | 22:50 |
| bodhi_zazen | Well, it will probably be changes to the initrd ... | 22:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | but yes | 22:53 |
| Unit193 | You may need to hangout for a while... | 22:56 |
| Unit193 | Do you have any idea what file it might be in? | 23:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | Well, to boot an iso you use a config for grub2 that loop mounts the iso | 23:17 |
| phillw | bodhi_zazen: lubuntu have only been very recently the tools for ubuntu official builds | 23:17 |
| phillw | bodhi_zazen: in the past, the devs were using their own system. | 23:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://forums.zenix-os.net/viewtopic.php?p=2759#p2759 | 23:19 |
| phillw | by the way, hello bodhi_zazen, master. Quiet I may be, listen I do :) | 23:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | So I can loop mount my zenix iso, but I am getting a kernel panic | 23:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | 'lo phillw =) | 23:19 |
| phillw | bodhi_zazen: jmarsden would probably be the best to help you on that issue. | 23:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | so my kernel loads, it runs initrd (the init in the rd) , but then when it goes to pass off the root fs -> panic | 23:20 |
| phillw | bodhi_zazen: as you well know, I'm an admin not a dev. get a hold of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JonathanMarsden and have a chat to him, he is a really good guy and well skilled. | 23:23 |
| semitones | hey phillw how's it going? | 23:26 |
| phillw | semitones: after yesterday, waking with a pulse was good :) Things are okay. How are things with you? | 23:27 |
| Unit193 | Had a little spam there... | 23:28 |
| semitones | whoa, intense :) | 23:28 |
| semitones | things with me are pretty ok -- just struggling a little with installing lubuntu to my dad's old laptop | 23:28 |
| semitones | are you on lubuntu right now? | 23:29 |
| phillw | semitones: nope, it is on my to do list, once I have the database recovered for my parents' company. Which has so far taken 3 days. It will either go well, or fail massively. | 23:31 |
| semitones | good luck! | 23:31 |
| phillw | semitones: what is the problem? | 23:32 |
| semitones | phillw, lubuntu doesn't automatically detect my old wifi card | 23:33 |
| semitones | it looks like the drivers were dropped from the kernel | 23:33 |
| semitones | so I was wondering if lubuntu had ndiswrapper installed automatically | 23:33 |
| phillw | semitones: As we use the standard WiFi that comes with the ubuntu family, if it works on ubuntu and not on lubuntu then it is a bug that needs checking. | 23:34 |
| semitones | phillw, I'll boot ubuntu and verify -- I'm using 10.10 by the way, 11.04 won't boot at all (it might be a bad .iso | 23:35 |
| semitones | ) | 23:35 |
| phillw | semitones: as I am running 9.10 ubuntu as they managed to 'improve' things and break my 3G device, sometimes things go well, some times there are regressions. We adapt :) | 23:37 |
| semitones | yeah | 23:37 |
| mikedep334 | semitones: you know how to check the burnt CD? | 23:37 |
| mikedep334 | it's in the boot menu | 23:37 |
| semitones | mikedep334, hehe, about that | 23:37 |
| semitones | it fails the same way if I choose "test cd" or "install" | 23:38 |
| semitones | actually, let me try it on a newer computer | 23:38 |
| mikedep334 | semitones: try one of the F6 options I think | 23:38 |
| phillw | semitones: depends on which version of lubuntu you are using :) | 23:38 |
| mikedep334 | there should be some options like "disable acpi" | 23:38 |
| semitones | mikedep334, you think that will work? | 23:38 |
| mikedep334 | semitones: yes, it's worked for me in the past | 23:38 |
| mikedep334 | especially on older PC's | 23:39 |
| mikedep334 | fiddle with those hardware compatibility options | 23:39 |
| mikedep334 | well, not older PC's, but still | 23:39 |
| semitones | ok | 23:42 |
| semitones | dang this time the bootlogo is taking a long time to come up | 23:42 |
| semitones | yuck, it froze trying to load bootlogo | 23:43 |
| semitones | blinking cursor syndrome | 23:43 |
| bodhi_zazen | While I am here ... | 23:43 |
| bodhi_zazen | phillw: do you mind if I post a link to my custom iso ? | 23:43 |
| Unit193 | bodhi_zazen: I'm guessing you could in #lubuntu-offtopic ? | 23:44 |
| phillw | bodhi_zazen: not at all, my friend. and if you wish a secondary link for it, I will happily post it to my server, | 23:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | Thank you | 23:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://zenix-os.net/screenshots.html | 23:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | Downloads : http://zenix-os.net/download.html | 23:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | phillw: If you would be willing to mirror those , that would be fantastic | 23:46 |
| bodhi_zazen | PM me the url and I will add it to the downloads page | 23:46 |
| phillw | bodhi_zazen: I will get bioterror to upload them to my server. but, as Unit193 pointed out - rules are rules and we 'should' be on #lubuntu-offtopic. Heck, we do train them well :) | 23:47 |
| Unit193 | phillw: I wasn't sure if linking to other distros was allowed in here... | 23:51 |
| phillw | Unit193: officially it should have been done on -offtopic, however all rules are made with the sole intent of being broken. And to have that 'rule' broken by such a fantastic guy is, to me, a honour. | 23:54 |
