=== zkriesse is now known as zkriesse__ === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse === zkriesse__ is now known as zkriesse_ [03:19] can someone confirm this? try this: add the keyboard led applet to the panel. Activate all 3 indicators (right click - KeyLed settings). [03:20] turn on/off number lock. turn on/off caps lock. see if they will obey your keyboard. [03:20] try turning on/off a few times. here, sometimes the key led does not obey the kb leds. [03:23] well.... nm! I have to go to sleep. I will look forward it tomorrow. thanks, anyway === IdleOne is now known as AcmeOne === AcmeOne is now known as IdleOne [15:20] hi everyone [15:21] I've a question... I'm trying to delete completely windows to work on lubuntu [15:22] 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 [15:25] 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 [20:54] ahoi [20:56] 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 [20:57] by crashed i mean completely froze [20:57] run memtest [20:58] ok, but i dont think its a hw issue, it runs fine with every other os i've tried so far [20:59] apanda_: Do you happen to know your video chipset? Or can you run lspci |grep VGA ? [21:00] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) [21:01] Unit193, close call :D [21:02] bioterror: Short line and it was worth a shot... [21:02] apanda_, does that computer reply to ping when it freezes? [21:02] i will try that later, if it crashes again. as i will memtest :) [21:13] but i remember the HD was accessed briefly a few seconds after the first freeze, if that helps [21:15] check dmesg [21:15] if it prompts any errors [21:16] or use disk utility to check possible SMART status [21:29] 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] hmmm [21:30] does not sound good [21:31] is there something to view smart info in lubuntu? i mean preinstalled [21:33] disk utility should have that [21:33] lubuntu has been very stable for me even in oneiric, so perhaps it's a hardware issue [21:35] is disk utility under system tools? i have the german version, it says laufwerksverwaltung, which translates to disk management [21:35] give it a shot ;) [21:35] yep i did, but i dont see any smart info there [21:35] paralimpset or what was it's real application name [21:36] ah now i saw it [21:36] had to scroll to the side [21:37] ok one sector was relocated [21:37] the rest is "good" [21:37] go buy yourself a new hdd [21:37] yeah [21:38] that's like a cheating person, if it can cheat once, it can cheat again [21:38] it will break soon [21:38] you can get fairly big hdds cheaply [21:38] ok thanks for the advice - but it cant crash twice because of one relocated sector can it? [21:39] you will have more bad sectors ;) [21:39] if you have important data, back it up now [21:39] well at least i've made a backup before resizing the ntfs partition [21:39] well, it works for now, but 50-80 euros is not that bad for a new hdd [21:40] +1 for that [21:40] i dont think i will buy another hdd for this laptop, its pretty old [21:41] and the wireless is very flaky with anything encrypted [21:41] 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] it ceased to work in windows completely now [21:41] yep i know [21:41] ok [21:42] i wanted to wait with buying a new laptop until intel has processors with their new "3d" transistors tho :/ [21:42] well maybe i can get a used ssd.. but probably not for this ide bus [21:43] then consider buying a new laptop if you need one, the cheapest ones come in at 200-250e (9-10 inch screens) [21:43] skip the netbooks ;) [21:43] i would go for something 13".. but those are expensive :/ [21:43] grab something second hand [21:44] and wait for the one you really want [21:44] lubuntu is a good distro for second-hand laptops [21:44] I mostly use recycled laptops [21:45] ok thanks for the help [22:00] any one know how to get the panel back i did acidently deleted it [22:04] one way is to remove the current config files for lxpanel and login again [22:04] thx [22:05] then it copies the default configs for you on login [22:05] ~/.config/lxpanel/ is the folder [22:06] dold [22:13] oki did work nice thx alot [23:24] did Lubuntu get the transparent panel? [23:25] and congrats on the "official" status coming closer... will there be a party? ;) [23:26] Only if someone has the Vodka.... [23:26] And what transparent panel? [23:29] Unit193, lxpanel [23:29] http://a.images.blip.tv/Llelectronics-LubuntuScreencastLXPanel2PanelConfiguration338-27.jpg [23:30] seems to be in effect here... picture is from lubuntu.net [23:34] kristian-aalborg: It's works in 11.04 (Just did it in a VM) [23:35] neat [23:36] it's by no means a central feature, but it looks smooth... also helps downplaying that "XP SP1" look [23:36] It's not full transparency, but it works [23:37] If you put windows behind it, you don't see them behind the panel [23:53] ah, ok [23:53] I'll see when I install [23:57] anyone dual-booting with Win 7? Will the installer "take care" of things automatically?
