| emma | Hi, I am a linux newbie, and just installed lubuntu on my laptop. Just want to know if the 2.6.35.x kernel is ok or if should upgrade | 06:52 |
| bioterror | :o | 07:02 |
| themantiss | noob question | 08:41 |
| themantiss | running lubuntu as a livecd | 08:41 |
| themantiss | yes? | 08:41 |
| bioterror | what's the question? | 08:42 |
| themantiss | sorry | 08:43 |
| themantiss | does it run as a livecd with the gui? all i get is the command line | 08:43 |
| bioterror | should run | 08:43 |
| themantiss | or am i missing a step? | 08:43 |
| bioterror | problems with graphics card drivers | 08:43 |
| bioterror | what kind of hardware you have? | 08:44 |
| themantiss | oldish toughbook | 08:44 |
| bioterror | exact model or graphics chipset would help us | 08:45 |
| themantiss | panasonic toughbook cf-18 | 08:46 |
| themantiss | centrino processor | 08:47 |
| themantiss | and thats all ive got. freebie | 08:47 |
| bioterror | that one has a touch screen to | 08:48 |
| bioterror | too | 08:48 |
| bioterror | themantiss, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9940776#post9940776 | 08:48 |
| themantiss | yeah. it had xp tablet | 08:48 |
| bioterror | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CF-18 taken from there | 08:48 |
| themantiss | oh wicked | 08:49 |
| themantiss | cheers dude, will try that | 08:49 |
| bioterror | you might need to add that parameter to grub settings to make it permanent :G | 08:50 |
| bioterror | themantiss, did you try 11.04 or 10.10 lubuntu? | 08:50 |
| themantiss | 11.04 | 08:51 |
| themantiss | it's only a test to see how well it runs anyway, it will eventually get installed | 08:52 |
| bioterror | oh well, give that kernel boot paremeter a chance ;) | 08:52 |
| themantiss | awesome man, thanks heaps aye | 08:52 |
| themantiss | no doubt i'll be back haha | 08:52 |

| deckstar | lubuntu control center appears to have left 11.04. Anyone know if its got a control center? | 12:53 |
| lil_pete | hey guys i got an interesting problem: | 14:09 |
| stlsaint | shoot | 14:09 |
| lil_pete | i switched from kde to lubuntu | 14:09 |
| lil_pete | it seems to have accepted all my settings (hotkeys, mouse, ...) BUT: | 14:09 |
| lil_pete | after login, settings arent active | 14:10 |
| lil_pete | if i just start settings -> system settings -> hotkey without any change, i can use my hotkeys | 14:10 |
| lil_pete | so... how can i fix this and get my hotkeys right away? | 14:10 |
| lil_pete | actually its even surprising that my kde settings are available, but i dont mind :) | 14:11 |
| stlsaint | you want hotkeys to load on startup? | 14:11 |
| lil_pete | erm... basically, yes. | 14:12 |
| lil_pete | mouse settings have the same issue, if i change them theyre ok, right after login theyre set to default values (acceleration f.ex.) | 14:12 |
| stlsaint | that would be a profile thing i would assume | 14:14 |
| stlsaint | one sec | 14:14 |
| lil_pete | stlsaint: take your time, but im not asking you to do my google-research. pointing me in the right direction could do the trick, too :) | 14:16 |
| stlsaint | lil_pete: honestly google is all i was doing, my keybindings load automagically so im not sure why yours arent | 14:18 |
| lil_pete | hmmm | 14:18 |
| lil_pete | probably 'coz i never set them up in lxde? seems like the system is using kde-settings, too!? | 14:18 |
| lil_pete | stlsaint: im trying to boot a new kernel, ill be back in no time... hopefully. :) | 14:25 |
| lil_pete | stlsaint: so... did you find anything? | 14:37 |
| stlsaint | not really | 14:39 |
| stlsaint | keybindings arent suppose to redefault after reboot | 14:39 |
| lil_pete | hhmmm okay... ill try "changing" them slightly and re-save them... maybe that will do. :-/ | 14:40 |
| lil_pete | anyway, i dont reboot that often... got my kernel running, i should be fine for several weeks now :) | 14:40 |
| bioterror | how about editing .config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml | 14:43 |
| bioterror | instead what ever | 14:43 |
| lil_pete | bioterror: i didnt even make any changes to the default config, simply stared lxde and it somehow used my kde-settings... | 14:43 |
| lil_pete | but i had to open the "settings" menu before he accepted them... this is what got me confused | 14:43 |
| bioterror | if youre not using kde, remove kde folders from your home folder | 14:44 |
| lil_pete | ?? | 14:44 |
| bioterror | and add keybindings to the lubuntu-rc.xml | 14:45 |
| lil_pete | im just trying lxde, why would i delete anything? | 14:45 |
| bioterror | as I said "if youre not" | 14:46 |
| lil_pete | :-/ i am im afraid | 14:47 |
| bioterror | and if youre running lxde on plasma/whatever oxygen it is, then i dont know | 14:47 |
| lil_pete | i get the feeling that my settings-menu is actually meant to be used in kde | 14:49 |
| bioterror | lubuntu uses openbox as the window manager and the configs for binding keys are in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml or rc.xml if 2 recall right | 14:49 |
| bioterror | I even | 14:50 |
| lil_pete | hhmmm using knotes doesnt seem to be a good idea either... pity, this lubuntu-thing seemed to be really neat n fast | 14:52 |
| stlsaint | lil_pete: correction, you are not using lubuntu | 14:54 |
| stlsaint | lil_pete: if i understand you correctly you simply installed the lxde environment | 14:54 |
| lil_pete | and started it | 14:54 |
| stlsaint | lil_pete: if you want to truly get a feel for lubuntu you should download the iso and try it out in a vm or something | 14:54 |
| lil_pete | ok, im not really using lubuntu, true | 14:54 |
| bioterror | yup | 14:54 |
| * stlsaint *nods* | 14:55 | |
| lil_pete | i would have done a apt-get install lubuntu-desktop, but that would uninstall my kde-desktop... thats a lil too much right now :) | 14:55 |
| bioterror | even my dead granny is fast if you compare it to kde :) | 14:55 |
| stlsaint | LOL | 14:55 |
| lil_pete | ill give that iso a try some time :) | 14:55 |
| stlsaint | bioterror: wow | 14:55 |
| bioterror | kde-desktop is a meta package | 14:55 |
| bioterror | or kubuntu-desktop to be exact | 14:56 |
| stlsaint | lil_pete: yes the actual lubuntu os is way better and more stable than just running lxde | 14:56 |
| stlsaint | yes to be exact | 14:56 |
| bioterror | it does not matter | 14:56 |
| bioterror | install lubuntu-desktop | 14:57 |
| lil_pete | erm... "meta-package" ? | 14:57 |
| bioterror | log into it and pure lxde after tthat :D | 14:57 |
| bioterror | lil_pete, meta-packages are used to fetch certain packages | 14:58 |
| lil_pete | okay, but still... i got kubuntu-desktop installed next to xubuntu-desktop.. why doesnt that work with lubuntu-desktop, too? | 14:59 |
| lil_pete | besides... im online via gprs... 40 mb sounds like a lil too much :D | 14:59 |
| lil_pete | gotta try that @ university | 14:59 |
| lil_pete | well guys... im out of here, cya next time im booting lubuntu... asking myself silly questions id rather ask you :) | 15:02 |
| stlsaint | JoeMaverickSett: sup | 15:05 |
| JoeMaverickSett | hey there, stlsaint :) | 15:12 |
| meddione | Question: how does one get Wicd to work on Lubuntu ? | 15:38 |
| stlsaint | meddione: stop the current network manager and install wicd i believe | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | got it fixed :) | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | indicator theme if you use unity2d needs the theme package for gnome installing | 16:19 |
| bodhizazen | phillw, thanks for the mirror for zenix, the sha1sums checked out (thanks Unit193) | 16:40 |
| bioterror | so bodhizazen, you've found your way to here too ;) | 17:20 |
| bodhizazen | bioterror, yes =) | 17:29 |
| bodhizazen | bioterror, do you know how to make an iso bootable via grub2 ? | 17:30 |
| bodhizazen | I can boot the zenix iso via grub2, but I keep getting a kernel panic, it can not find the root file system | 17:30 |
| bioterror | bodhizazen, hmmmm | 17:37 |
| Onions | Hello | 17:58 |
| Onions | I need to split a file in diferent sections, can anybody help me out? | 17:58 |
| Onions | I need to copy a dvd iso, to an external fat32 hard drive, but the files is too big for the filesystem | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Onions: you can't FAT32 max filesize is 4Gb | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | if you use tar, you can break it up | 18:01 |
| Onions | yeah, i know that. I want to split the file in diferent parts | 18:01 |
| bioterror | I would use zip or rar | 18:01 |
| bioterror | or a better filesystem | 18:02 |
| Onions | But how do I do that? | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Onions: http://usage.cc/split split will do it | 18:02 |
| Onions | ok, give me a sec | 18:02 |
| Onions | does split work with a zip file? | 18:04 |
| Onions | works* | 18:04 |
| Onions | and, i dont think i can use a diferent filesystem, since I need to copy the file to a windows pc | 18:05 |
| bioterror | windows pc uses ntfs | 18:06 |
| Onions | yeah, but my hard drive is in fat 32 | 18:06 |
| Onions | the external hard drive | 18:06 |
| Onions | I have heard that ntfs gives problems with linux | 18:06 |
| bioterror | I heard that back in the 90's | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip | bioterror: you CAN use fat32, its just rubbish | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Onions: ubuntu can read and write to ntfs without issue | 18:08 |
| Onions | ah ok | 18:08 |
| bioterror | I could drive a Fiat Punto, but instead I drive turbo charged saab with software update | 18:09 |
| Onions | I will try to split it using hoz | 18:09 |
| phillw | no problems bodhizazen, anytiome you want to pop one on, feel free to do so. No need to ask! | 18:17 |
| bodhizazen | phillw, well, I lost the login and pasword, so if I need it again I will ask | 18:22 |
| SpaceBack | how can i enable auto login in lubuntu ? I edited /etc/lxdm/default.conf http://pastebin.com/sjK3mFkH | 18:27 |
| bioterror | bodhizazen, you have "initrd=zenix.img"? | 18:49 |
| bioterror | bodhizazen, something like that | 18:49 |
| bioterror | bodhizazen, http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2011/01/07/booting-iso-images-from-within-grub2/ ?! | 18:51 |
| SpaceBack | bioterror i have a problem with auto login this is the output of /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf http://pastebin.com/2sWazh8v | 18:54 |
| SpaceBack | there is autologin=username but it still is not working | 18:55 |
| bioterror | SpaceBack, default.conf ;) | 18:56 |
| SpaceBack | what do you mean ? | 18:57 |
| bioterror | /etc/lxdm/default.conf | 18:57 |
| bioterror | should be the corret, at least it was on 10.10 | 18:57 |
| SpaceBack | ok i changed it | 18:59 |
| bioterror | sudo service lxdm restart | 18:59 |
| bioterror | :D | 18:59 |
| SpaceBack_ | bioterror its not working | 19:00 |
| SpaceBack_ | and i have to set lubuntu to even login its set to default | 19:00 |
| SpaceBack_ | i mean the session | 19:02 |
| SpaceBack_ | are you still there ? | 19:12 |
| bioterror | yeah, I'm blasting about idiots who buys cérvelo's bikes, some cool bike spandex outfits and then they must ride on the 60km/h - 80km/h roads when they have a road next to these "roads" which is for "light traffic" | 19:14 |
| SpaceBack_ | a i' more a car type,Lada rules ! xD | 19:16 |
