[00:28] <silverarrow> hi
[00:56] <silverarrow> does anyone know how to handle booting up in to a black screen with text in the lubuntu CD?
[00:56] <silverarrow> it is a HP vista laptop
[00:57] <silverarrow> I get as far as the boot up options in lubuntu, then into a sort of terminal
[00:57] <silverarrow> I don't get the usual full  live bootup
[00:58] <silverarrow> puppy linux manager to boot fine
[00:58] <silverarrow> manage*
[01:05] <silverarrow> so lubuntu are not at all good with hp laptop, is it the nvida cards and HD graphics?
[01:07] <silverarrow> it's a vista computer, 2.4GHz CPU, 3GB RAM
[01:20] <silverarrow> so this is the dormatory?
[05:40] <jgould> Most of my PPA stuff wouldn't appply to a new machine
[06:52] <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
[07:02] <bioterror> :o
[08:41] <themantiss> noob question
[08:41] <themantiss> running lubuntu as a livecd
[08:41] <themantiss> yes?
[08:42] <bioterror> what's the question?
[08:43] <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
[08:44] <bioterror> what kind of hardware you have?
[08:44] <themantiss> oldish toughbook
[08:45] <bioterror> exact model or graphics chipset would help us
[08:46] <themantiss> panasonic toughbook cf-18
[08:47] <themantiss> centrino processor
[08:47] <themantiss> and thats all ive got. freebie
[08:48] <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
[08:49] <themantiss> oh wicked
[08:49] <themantiss> cheers dude, will try that
[08:50] <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?
[08:51] <themantiss> 11.04
[08:52] <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
[12:53] <deckstar> lubuntu control center appears to have left 11.04. Anyone know if its got a control center?
[14:09] <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:
[14:10] <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?
[14:11] <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?
[14:12] <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.)
[14:14] <stlsaint> that would be a profile thing i would assume
[14:14] <stlsaint> one sec
[14:16] <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 :)
[14:18] <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!?
[14:25] <lil_pete> stlsaint: im trying to boot a new kernel, ill be back in no time... hopefully. :)
[14:37] <lil_pete> stlsaint: so... did you find anything?
[14:39] <stlsaint> not really
[14:39] <stlsaint> keybindings arent suppose to redefault after reboot
[14:40] <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 :)
[14:43] <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
[14:44] <bioterror> if youre not using kde, remove kde folders from your home folder
[14:44] <lil_pete> ??
[14:45] <bioterror> and add keybindings to the lubuntu-rc.xml
[14:45] <lil_pete> im just trying lxde, why would i delete anything?
[14:46] <bioterror> as I said "if youre not"
[14:47] <lil_pete> :-/ i am im afraid
[14:47] <bioterror> and if youre running lxde on plasma/whatever oxygen it is, then i dont know
[14:49] <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
[14:50] <bioterror> I even
[14:52] <lil_pete> hhmmm using knotes doesnt seem to be a good idea either... pity, this lubuntu-thing seemed to be really neat n fast
[14:54] <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
[14:55]  * 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
[14:56] <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
[14:57] <bioterror> install lubuntu-desktop
[14:57] <lil_pete> erm... "meta-package" ?
[14:57] <bioterror> log into it and pure lxde after tthat :D
[14:58] <bioterror> lil_pete, meta-packages are used to fetch certain packages
[14:59] <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
[15:02] <lil_pete> well guys... im out of here, cya next time im booting lubuntu... asking myself silly questions id rather ask you :)
[15:05] <stlsaint> JoeMaverickSett: sup
[15:12] <JoeMaverickSett> hey there, stlsaint :)
[15:38] <meddione> Question: how does one get Wicd to work on Lubuntu ?
[15:42] <stlsaint> meddione: stop the current network manager and install wicd i believe
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> got it fixed :)
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> indicator theme if you use unity2d needs the theme package for gnome installing
[16:40] <bodhizazen> phillw, thanks for the mirror for zenix, the sha1sums checked out (thanks Unit193)
[17:20] <bioterror> so bodhizazen, you've found your way to here too ;)
[17:29] <bodhizazen> bioterror, yes =)
[17:30] <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
[17:37] <bioterror> bodhizazen, hmmmm
[17:58] <Onions> Hello
[17:58] <Onions> I need to split a file in diferent sections, can anybody help me out?
[18:00] <Onions> I need to copy a dvd iso, to an external  fat32 hard drive, but the files is too big for the filesystem
[18:01] <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
[18:02] <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
[18:04] <Onions> does split work with a zip file?
[18:04] <Onions> works*
[18:05] <Onions> and, i dont think i can use a diferent filesystem, since I need to copy the file to a windows pc
[18:06] <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
[18:07] <bioterror> I heard that back in the 90's
[18:08] <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
[18:09] <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
[18:17] <phillw> no problems bodhizazen, anytiome you want to pop one on, feel free to do so. No need to ask!
[18:22] <bodhizazen> phillw, well, I lost the login and pasword, so if I need it again I will ask
[18:27] <SpaceBack> how can i enable auto login in lubuntu ? I edited /etc/lxdm/default.conf http://pastebin.com/sjK3mFkH
[18:49] <bioterror> bodhizazen, you have "initrd=zenix.img"?
[18:49] <bioterror> bodhizazen, something like that
[18:51] <bioterror> bodhizazen, http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2011/01/07/booting-iso-images-from-within-grub2/ ?!
[18:54] <SpaceBack> bioterror i have a problem with auto login this is the output of /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf http://pastebin.com/2sWazh8v
[18:55] <SpaceBack> there is autologin=username but it still is not working
[18:56] <bioterror> SpaceBack, default.conf ;)
[18:57] <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
[18:59] <SpaceBack> ok i changed it
[18:59] <bioterror> sudo service lxdm restart
[18:59] <bioterror> :D
[19:00] <SpaceBack_> bioterror its not working
[19:00] <SpaceBack_> and i have to set lubuntu to even login its set to default
[19:02] <SpaceBack_> i mean the session
[19:12] <SpaceBack_> are you still there ?
[19:14] <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"
[19:16] <SpaceBack_> a i' more a car type,Lada rules ! xD
[19:16] <bioterror> niva!
[19:16] <SpaceBack_> YES !
[19:17] <SpaceBack_> best car ever :D
[23:14] <bodhizazen> bioterror, where do I put that ?
