[00:28] hi [00:56] does anyone know how to handle booting up in to a black screen with text in the lubuntu CD? [00:56] it is a HP vista laptop [00:57] I get as far as the boot up options in lubuntu, then into a sort of terminal [00:57] I don't get the usual full live bootup [00:58] puppy linux manager to boot fine [00:58] manage* [01:05] so lubuntu are not at all good with hp laptop, is it the nvida cards and HD graphics? [01:07] it's a vista computer, 2.4GHz CPU, 3GB RAM [01:20] so this is the dormatory? [05:40] Most of my PPA stuff wouldn't appply to a new machine [06:52] 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] :o [08:41] noob question [08:41] running lubuntu as a livecd [08:41] yes? [08:42] what's the question? [08:43] sorry [08:43] does it run as a livecd with the gui? all i get is the command line [08:43] should run [08:43] or am i missing a step? [08:43] problems with graphics card drivers [08:44] what kind of hardware you have? [08:44] oldish toughbook [08:45] exact model or graphics chipset would help us [08:46] panasonic toughbook cf-18 [08:47] centrino processor [08:47] and thats all ive got. freebie [08:48] that one has a touch screen to [08:48] too [08:48] themantiss, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9940776#post9940776 [08:48] yeah. it had xp tablet [08:48] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CF-18 taken from there [08:49] oh wicked [08:49] cheers dude, will try that [08:50] you might need to add that parameter to grub settings to make it permanent :G [08:50] themantiss, did you try 11.04 or 10.10 lubuntu? [08:51] 11.04 [08:52] it's only a test to see how well it runs anyway, it will eventually get installed [08:52] oh well, give that kernel boot paremeter a chance ;) [08:52] awesome man, thanks heaps aye [08:52] no doubt i'll be back haha === james is now known as Guest14908 === james_ is now known as jrgifford [12:53] lubuntu control center appears to have left 11.04. Anyone know if its got a control center? [14:09] hey guys i got an interesting problem: [14:09] shoot [14:09] i switched from kde to lubuntu [14:09] it seems to have accepted all my settings (hotkeys, mouse, ...) BUT: [14:10] after login, settings arent active [14:10] if i just start settings -> system settings -> hotkey without any change, i can use my hotkeys [14:10] so... how can i fix this and get my hotkeys right away? [14:11] actually its even surprising that my kde settings are available, but i dont mind :) [14:11] you want hotkeys to load on startup? [14:12] erm... basically, yes. [14:12] 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] that would be a profile thing i would assume [14:14] one sec [14:16] 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] lil_pete: honestly google is all i was doing, my keybindings load automagically so im not sure why yours arent [14:18] hmmm [14:18] probably 'coz i never set them up in lxde? seems like the system is using kde-settings, too!? [14:25] stlsaint: im trying to boot a new kernel, ill be back in no time... hopefully. :) [14:37] stlsaint: so... did you find anything? [14:39] not really [14:39] keybindings arent suppose to redefault after reboot [14:40] hhmmm okay... ill try "changing" them slightly and re-save them... maybe that will do. :-/ [14:40] anyway, i dont reboot that often... got my kernel running, i should be fine for several weeks now :) [14:43] how about editing .config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [14:43] instead what ever [14:43] bioterror: i didnt even make any changes to the default config, simply stared lxde and it somehow used my kde-settings... [14:43] but i had to open the "settings" menu before he accepted them... this is what got me confused [14:44] if youre not using kde, remove kde folders from your home folder [14:44] ?? [14:45] and add keybindings to the lubuntu-rc.xml [14:45] im just trying lxde, why would i delete anything? [14:46] as I said "if youre not" [14:47] :-/ i am im afraid [14:47] and if youre running lxde on plasma/whatever oxygen it is, then i dont know [14:49] i get the feeling that my settings-menu is actually meant to be used in kde [14:49] 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] I even [14:52] hhmmm using knotes doesnt seem to be a good idea either... pity, this lubuntu-thing seemed to be really neat n fast [14:54] lil_pete: correction, you are not using lubuntu [14:54] lil_pete: if i understand you correctly you simply installed the lxde environment [14:54] and started it [14:54] 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] ok, im not really using lubuntu, true [14:54] yup [14:55] * stlsaint *nods* [14:55] 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] even my dead granny is fast if you compare it to kde :) [14:55] LOL [14:55] ill give that iso a try some time :) [14:55] bioterror: wow [14:55] kde-desktop is a meta package [14:56] or kubuntu-desktop to be exact [14:56] lil_pete: yes the actual lubuntu os is way better and more stable than just running lxde [14:56] yes to be exact [14:56] it does not matter [14:57] install lubuntu-desktop [14:57] erm... "meta-package" ? [14:57] log into it and pure lxde after tthat :D [14:58] lil_pete, meta-packages are used to fetch certain packages [14:59] okay, but still... i got kubuntu-desktop installed next to xubuntu-desktop.. why doesnt that work with lubuntu-desktop, too? [14:59] besides... im online via gprs... 40 mb sounds like a lil too much :D [14:59] gotta try that @ university [15:02] well guys... im out of here, cya next time im booting lubuntu... asking myself silly questions id rather ask you :) [15:05] JoeMaverickSett: sup [15:12] hey there, stlsaint :) [15:38] Question: how does one get Wicd to work on Lubuntu ? [15:42] meddione: stop the current network manager and install wicd i believe [16:18] yo yo yo [16:18] got it fixed :) [16:19] indicator theme if you use unity2d needs the theme package for gnome installing [16:40] phillw, thanks for the mirror for zenix, the sha1sums checked out (thanks Unit193) [17:20] so bodhizazen, you've found your way to here too ;) [17:29] bioterror, yes =) [17:30] bioterror, do you know how to make an iso bootable via grub2 ? [17:30] 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] bodhizazen, hmmmm [17:58] Hello [17:58] I need to split a file in diferent sections, can anybody help me out? [18:00] I need to copy a dvd iso, to an external fat32 hard drive, but the files is too big for the filesystem [18:01] Onions: you can't FAT32 max filesize is 4Gb [18:01] if you use tar, you can break it up [18:01] yeah, i know that. I want to split the file in diferent parts [18:01] I would use zip or rar [18:02] or a better filesystem [18:02] But how do I do that? [18:02] Onions: http://usage.cc/split split will do it [18:02] ok, give me a sec [18:04] does split work with a zip file? [18:04] works* [18:05] and, i dont think i can use a diferent filesystem, since I need to copy the file to a windows pc [18:06] windows pc uses ntfs [18:06] yeah, but my hard drive is in fat 32 [18:06] the external hard drive [18:06] I have heard that ntfs gives problems with linux [18:07] I heard that back in the 90's [18:08] bioterror: you CAN use fat32, its just rubbish [18:08] Onions: ubuntu can read and write to ntfs without issue [18:08] ah ok [18:09] I could drive a Fiat Punto, but instead I drive turbo charged saab with software update [18:09] I will try to split it using hoz [18:17] no problems bodhizazen, anytiome you want to pop one on, feel free to do so. No need to ask! [18:22] phillw, well, I lost the login and pasword, so if I need it again I will ask [18:27] how can i enable auto login in lubuntu ? I edited /etc/lxdm/default.conf http://pastebin.com/sjK3mFkH [18:49] bodhizazen, you have "initrd=zenix.img"? [18:49] bodhizazen, something like that [18:51] bodhizazen, http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2011/01/07/booting-iso-images-from-within-grub2/ ?! [18:54] 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] there is autologin=username but it still is not working [18:56] SpaceBack, default.conf ;) [18:57] what do you mean ? [18:57] /etc/lxdm/default.conf [18:57] should be the corret, at least it was on 10.10 [18:59] ok i changed it [18:59] sudo service lxdm restart [18:59] :D [19:00] bioterror its not working [19:00] and i have to set lubuntu to even login its set to default [19:02] i mean the session [19:12] are you still there ? [19:14] 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] a i' more a car type,Lada rules ! xD [19:16] niva!
