| trakinas | can someone confirm this? try this: add the keyboard led applet to the panel. Activate all 3 indicators (right click - KeyLed settings). | 03:19 |
|---|---|---|
| trakinas | turn on/off number lock. turn on/off caps lock. see if they will obey your keyboard. | 03:20 |
| trakinas | try turning on/off a few times. here, sometimes the key led does not obey the kb leds. | 03:20 |
| trakinas | well.... nm! I have to go to sleep. I will look forward it tomorrow. thanks, anyway | 03:23 |

| Gyrostar | hi everyone | 15:20 |
| Gyrostar | I've a question... I'm trying to delete completely windows to work on lubuntu | 15:21 |
| Gyrostar | there i've 2 partitions in ntfs that i want to format and i was wondering if i should keep them in ntfs or format it in ext4 | 15:22 |
| Gyrostar | plus i want to increase the size of my linux swap and i was wondering if i should create one linux swap for each partition or just one is enough | 15:25 |
| apanda_ | ahoi | 20:54 |
| apanda_ | i've just installed lubuntu on an old centrino vaio laptop and it has crashed twice in the first minutes. i think it ran fine from the live cd | 20:56 |
| apanda_ | by crashed i mean completely froze | 20:57 |
| bioterror | run memtest | 20:57 |
| apanda_ | ok, but i dont think its a hw issue, it runs fine with every other os i've tried so far | 20:58 |
| Unit193 | apanda_: Do you happen to know your video chipset? Or can you run lspci |grep VGA ? | 20:59 |
| apanda_ | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 21:00 |
| bioterror | Unit193, close call :D | 21:01 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: Short line and it was worth a shot... | 21:02 |
| bioterror | apanda_, does that computer reply to ping when it freezes? | 21:02 |
| apanda_ | i will try that later, if it crashes again. as i will memtest :) | 21:02 |
| apanda_ | but i remember the HD was accessed briefly a few seconds after the first freeze, if that helps | 21:13 |
| bioterror | check dmesg | 21:15 |
| bioterror | if it prompts any errors | 21:15 |
| bioterror | or use disk utility to check possible SMART status | 21:16 |
| apanda_ | the only line with "error" i have from dmesg is this: [ 36.992513] EXT4-fs (sda5): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0 | 21:29 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 21:29 |
| bioterror | does not sound good | 21:30 |
| apanda_ | is there something to view smart info in lubuntu? i mean preinstalled | 21:31 |
| bioterror | disk utility should have that | 21:33 |
| elros | lubuntu has been very stable for me even in oneiric, so perhaps it's a hardware issue | 21:33 |
| apanda_ | is disk utility under system tools? i have the german version, it says laufwerksverwaltung, which translates to disk management | 21:35 |
| bioterror | give it a shot ;) | 21:35 |
| apanda_ | yep i did, but i dont see any smart info there | 21:35 |
| bioterror | paralimpset or what was it's real application name | 21:35 |
| apanda_ | ah now i saw it | 21:36 |
| apanda_ | had to scroll to the side | 21:36 |
| apanda_ | ok one sector was relocated | 21:37 |
| apanda_ | the rest is "good" | 21:37 |
| bioterror | go buy yourself a new hdd | 21:37 |
| elros | yeah | 21:37 |
| bioterror | that's like a cheating person, if it can cheat once, it can cheat again | 21:38 |
| elros | it will break soon | 21:38 |
| elros | you can get fairly big hdds cheaply | 21:38 |
| apanda_ | ok thanks for the advice - but it cant crash twice because of one relocated sector can it? | 21:38 |
| bioterror | you will have more bad sectors ;) | 21:39 |
| bioterror | if you have important data, back it up now | 21:39 |
| apanda_ | well at least i've made a backup before resizing the ntfs partition | 21:39 |
| elros | well, it works for now, but 50-80 euros is not that bad for a new hdd | 21:39 |
| bioterror | +1 for that | 21:40 |
| apanda_ | i dont think i will buy another hdd for this laptop, its pretty old | 21:40 |
| apanda_ | and the wireless is very flaky with anything encrypted | 21:41 |
| elros | if the hdd gets bad sectors its a sign that it's coming to the end of its life cycle, and it's good to invest a new hard drive | 21:41 |
| apanda_ | it ceased to work in windows completely now | 21:41 |
| apanda_ | yep i know | 21:41 |
| elros | ok | 21:41 |
| apanda_ | i wanted to wait with buying a new laptop until intel has processors with their new "3d" transistors tho :/ | 21:42 |
| apanda_ | well maybe i can get a used ssd.. but probably not for this ide bus | 21:42 |
| elros | then consider buying a new laptop if you need one, the cheapest ones come in at 200-250e (9-10 inch screens) | 21:43 |
| bioterror | skip the netbooks ;) | 21:43 |
| apanda_ | i would go for something 13".. but those are expensive :/ | 21:43 |
| bioterror | grab something second hand | 21:43 |
| bioterror | and wait for the one you really want | 21:44 |
| elros | lubuntu is a good distro for second-hand laptops | 21:44 |
| bioterror | I mostly use recycled laptops | 21:44 |
| apanda_ | ok thanks for the help | 21:45 |
| Dogwar1984 | any one know how to get the panel back i did acidently deleted it | 22:00 |
| elros | one way is to remove the current config files for lxpanel and login again | 22:04 |
| Dogwar1984 | thx | 22:04 |
| elros | then it copies the default configs for you on login | 22:05 |
| elros | ~/.config/lxpanel/ is the folder | 22:05 |
| Dogwar1984 | dold | 22:06 |
| Dogwar1984 | oki did work nice thx alot | 22:13 |
| kristian-aalborg | did Lubuntu get the transparent panel? | 23:24 |
| kristian-aalborg | and congrats on the "official" status coming closer... will there be a party? ;) | 23:25 |
| Unit193 | Only if someone has the Vodka.... | 23:26 |
| Unit193 | And what transparent panel? | 23:26 |
| kristian-aalborg | Unit193, lxpanel | 23:29 |
| kristian-aalborg | http://a.images.blip.tv/Llelectronics-LubuntuScreencastLXPanel2PanelConfiguration338-27.jpg | 23:29 |
| kristian-aalborg | seems to be in effect here... picture is from lubuntu.net | 23:30 |
| Unit193 | kristian-aalborg: It's works in 11.04 (Just did it in a VM) | 23:34 |
| kristian-aalborg | neat | 23:35 |
| kristian-aalborg | it's by no means a central feature, but it looks smooth... also helps downplaying that "XP SP1" look | 23:36 |
| Unit193 | It's not full transparency, but it works | 23:36 |
| Unit193 | If you put windows behind it, you don't see them behind the panel | 23:37 |
| kristian-aalborg | ah, ok | 23:53 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'll see when I install | 23:53 |
| kristian-aalborg | anyone dual-booting with Win 7? Will the installer "take care" of things automatically? | 23:57 |
