| theholder | hi how do get more screensavers in lubuntu | 01:16 |
|---|---|---|
| iamnewbie | hi could i get some help getting into lubuntu? | 01:26 |
| iamnewbie | hello | 01:30 |
| iamnewbie | is anyone there? | 01:34 |
| iamnewbie | anyone??????????????????????????'' | 01:40 |
| theholder | hello iamnewbie | 01:40 |
| iamnewbie | hi | 01:41 |
| theholder | whats your issue | 01:41 |
| iamnewbie | alright so i was on here last night with help from unit 193 trying to install lubuntu | 01:41 |
| iamnewbie | but when i rebooted for the first time to get in, my login wouldn't work for some reason | 01:41 |
| iamnewbie | and so i tried getting around it by doing a CTRL + ALT + F1 | 01:41 |
| theholder | hmm | 01:41 |
| iamnewbie | but that didn't work for some reason | 01:41 |
| iamnewbie | so i was about to uninstall lubuntu and go with the gfxd | 01:42 |
| theholder | try typing your login details slowly | 01:42 |
| iamnewbie | alright so | 01:42 |
| iamnewbie | lubuntu starts up. unlike in ubuntu, my login id isn't already filled in. so i'm not 100% sure of my login id | 01:43 |
| iamnewbie | but i'm pretty sure it's just BK | 01:43 |
| theholder | ok | 01:43 |
| iamnewbie | i tried entering tha (BK) and my password, which i know is 100% correct | 01:43 |
| theholder | try lower case Bk | 01:44 |
| theholder | so bk | 01:44 |
| iamnewbie | my login id could have been BK-ub | 01:44 |
| iamnewbie | but i think i tried that as well | 01:44 |
| theholder | use lower case bk | 01:44 |
| iamnewbie | in loggin on, should i select 2.6.38-8 or 2.6.35-24? | 01:45 |
| iamnewbie | i had burg installed, so i never had to worry which one to select | 01:45 |
| theholder | they are kernel versions | 01:46 |
| iamnewbie | ok, i just chose the -8 one | 01:46 |
| theholder | yes | 01:46 |
| iamnewbie | well the login isn't working | 01:47 |
| iamnewbie | i've tried all sorts of variations | 01:48 |
| theholder | i suggest reinstalling | 01:48 |
| theholder | and slowly going over each step | 01:48 |
| iamnewbie | well unit193 wanted me to go into recovery mode | 01:50 |
| iamnewbie | and run ls /home | 01:50 |
| iamnewbie | and sudo dpkg-reconfigure lxdm | 01:50 |
| theholder | that would work to | 01:51 |
| iamnewbie | ok. in choosing the recovery mode, should i choose -8 again or -24 kernel? | 01:51 |
| theholder | 8 | 01:51 |
| iamnewbie | alright | 01:52 |
| iamnewbie | i am presented with a list of options: | 01:52 |
| iamnewbie | resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, fsck, grub | 01:53 |
| theholder | dpkg | 01:53 |
| iamnewbie | wait i can't even move the option selector | 01:53 |
| theholder | hmm | 01:54 |
| theholder | 2.6.38-8-generic | 01:54 |
| theholder | oops sorry | 01:54 |
| iamnewbie | do you know how to move it? i tried pressing the down arrow button, but that brought up some command line stuff | 01:54 |
| iamnewbie | oh no, i'm past that screen | 01:55 |
| theholder | can you do cd /home | 01:55 |
| iamnewbie | no | 01:56 |
| iamnewbie | when i get the screen with the resume, clean, dpkg options, i can't move the selector | 01:56 |
| iamnewbie | if i press the down button, the pc goes into a check mode of various stuff such as battery state, ACPI daemon, eCryptfs | 01:56 |
| iamnewbie | any idea how to move the selector? | 01:58 |
| iamnewbie | anyone else on? | 02:02 |
| Logos01 | Hello, all... does the Lubuntu kernel not support Xen hypervisor? | 02:34 |
| Logos01 | xend won't start on my machine. | 02:34 |

| kosaidpo | guys how can i get gedit3 ?? | 11:54 |
| craigbass1976 | my new monitor is capable of better resolution than lubuntu thinks I can use (preferences --> monitor settings) Do I need to do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 13:04 |
| leszek | hi | 13:13 |
| maraz | http://askubuntu.com/questions/43989/cannot-use-blank-wallpaper-with-lxde-crashes-lxde Anyone else having problems with this? | 15:00 |
| pcman | hi | 15:20 |
| Quintin | lubuntu is too slowwww! how do I make it faster!? | 17:03 |
| maraz | what exactly is slow about it? | 17:04 |
| Quintin | browser and multitasking, mostly | 17:04 |
| Quintin | throwing ram at the problem would be good, but I don't have any handy. is there any cruft I can cut out? | 17:04 |
| maraz | so you've identified memory access as the bottleneck? | 17:05 |
| maraz | or paging? | 17:05 |
| Quintin | that's a semi-educated guess | 17:06 |
| Quintin | piii-m 600mhz / 256mB are the specs on this machine I think | 17:06 |
| maraz | uh, yeah. so you're getting frequent swapping? | 17:06 |
| Quintin | sometimes yea | 17:07 |
| maraz | might want to turn off images, flash, etc. in browser or use a lighter browser | 17:07 |
| jmarsden | Quintin: Trying to "multitask" (run several GUI apps at once) in 256MB is asking a lot... for that, I think the real answer to "how do I make it faster" is "Add some more RAM" :) | 17:19 |
| Quintin | jmarsden: where the hell am I going to find PC RAM SODIMMs! :( | 17:19 |
| jmarsden | Ebay? Your desk drawer? Who knows? :) | 17:19 |
| Quintin | yea, I am using links2 -g now to view documentation instead of chrome :| | 17:20 |
| jmarsden | For documentation reading, do without the -g and save even more resources :) | 17:21 |
| Quintin | every now and then there's a picture :| | 17:22 |
| pcman | jmarsden: hi | 17:34 |
| maraz | Seriously. Setting the background to fill with solid color kills X. :) | 17:43 |
| maraz | It just dies. | 17:44 |
| maraz | the last try caused lxdm-binary to go 101% cpu ;) | 17:45 |
| * pcman calls for a review for pcmanfm. | 18:23 | |
| pcman | many bugs are fixed. | 18:23 |
| pcman | a new release is wanted. | 18:23 |
