[01:16] <theholder> hi how do  get more screensavers in lubuntu
[01:26] <iamnewbie> hi could i get some help getting into lubuntu?
[01:30] <iamnewbie> hello
[01:34] <iamnewbie> is anyone there?
[01:40] <iamnewbie> anyone??????????????????????????''
[01:40] <theholder> hello iamnewbie
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <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
[01:44] <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
[01:45] <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
[01:46] <theholder> they are kernel versions
[01:46] <iamnewbie> ok, i just chose the -8 one
[01:46] <theholder> yes
[01:47] <iamnewbie> well the login isn't working
[01:48] <iamnewbie> i've tried all sorts of variations
[01:48] <theholder> i suggest reinstalling
[01:48] <theholder> and slowly going over each step
[01:50] <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
[01:51] <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
[01:52] <iamnewbie> alright
[01:52] <iamnewbie> i am presented with a list of options:
[01:53] <iamnewbie> resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, fsck, grub
[01:53] <theholder> dpkg
[01:53] <iamnewbie> wait i can't even move the option selector
[01:54] <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
[01:55] <iamnewbie> oh no, i'm past that screen
[01:55] <theholder> can you do cd /home
[01:56] <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
[01:58] <iamnewbie> any idea how to move the selector?
[02:02] <iamnewbie> anyone else on?
[02:34] <Logos01> Hello, all... does the Lubuntu kernel not support Xen hypervisor?
[02:34] <Logos01> xend won't start on my machine.
[08:35] <[deXter]> Hi, anyone around?
[08:46] <[deXter]> Hi all, how do I use the temperature applet for lxpanel?
=== zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie
[11:54] <kosaidpo> guys how can i get gedit3 ??
[13:04] <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 ?
[13:13] <leszek> hi
[15:00] <maraz> http://askubuntu.com/questions/43989/cannot-use-blank-wallpaper-with-lxde-crashes-lxde Anyone else having problems with this?
[15:20] <pcman> hi
[17:03] <Quintin> lubuntu is too slowwww!  how do I make it faster!?
[17:04] <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?
[17:05] <maraz> so you've identified memory access as the bottleneck?
[17:05] <maraz> or paging?
[17:06] <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?
[17:07] <Quintin> sometimes yea
[17:07] <maraz> might want to turn off images, flash, etc. in browser or use a lighter browser
[17:19] <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? :)
[17:20] <Quintin> yea, I am using links2 -g now to view documentation instead of chrome :|
[17:21] <jmarsden> For documentation reading, do without the -g and save even more resources :)
[17:22] <Quintin> every now and then there's a picture :|
[17:34] <pcman> jmarsden: hi
[17:43] <maraz> Seriously. Setting the background to fill with solid color kills X. :)
[17:44] <maraz> It just dies.
[17:45] <maraz> the last try caused lxdm-binary to go 101% cpu ;)
[18:23]  * pcman calls for a review for pcmanfm.
[18:23] <pcman> many bugs are fixed.
[18:23] <pcman> a new release is wanted.
