| KM0201 | do you think we'll ever see a time when you walk into a best buy, etc.. and buy a pc/laptop w/o an operating system, and you can purchase it separately (or use your own).... | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| stlsaint | KM0201: nope, but you can order one from off line that will be cheaper than store with no OS | 00:01 |
| KM0201 | i doubt that | 00:01 |
| KM0201 | i got a pretty nice laptop for $299 out the door saturday | 00:02 |
| KM0201 | it SUCKS w/ 7 (not enough ram)... but it's awesome w/ Lubuntu. | 00:02 |
| stlsaint | KM0201: nice | 00:03 |
| KM0201 | they sell you a cheap laptop, knowing your'e gonna be totally irritated that it's slow, because it doesn't have enough ram. | 00:03 |
| KM0201 | i wonder how many got hoodwinked by that. | 00:03 |
| KM0201 | and then.. i had to tell that clown at best buy, "No, I don't want any antivirus... I don't care that it's free" | 00:04 |
| KM0201 | so the guy finally gets the drift i don't want AV, a free trial of office, etc.. takes me to the Geek Squad to check out (already knew i'd be in for another sales pitch) | 00:05 |
| KM0201 | and of course they want to set my laptop up for me, and install Norton, and MS Office, bla bla bla. | 00:05 |
| KM0201 | i finally had to tell them i'm just not interested in their stuff, and they finally let me pay | 00:05 |
| linuxman410 | anyone here | 02:33 |
| linuxman410 | lubuntu uses less ram than puppylinux | 02:33 |
| KM0201 | linuxman410: i dunno about that | 02:34 |
| KM0201 | how much ram does your system have | 02:34 |
| linuxman410 | KM0201 i tried puppy live cd and lubuntu live cd with 768 ram and lubuntu was faster | 02:35 |
| KM0201 | linuxman410: hmm, don't really see how thats possible, but.. ok. | 02:36 |
| linuxman410 | KM0201 does lubuntu decided on lmde yet or not | 02:37 |
| KM0201 | lmde? | 02:37 |
| KM0201 | linux mint debian edition? | 02:37 |
| linuxman410 | i mean light version | 02:37 |
| KM0201 | i have no idea what you're talking about | 02:38 |
| KM0201 | how much lighter can lubuntu be? | 02:38 |
| alazare619 | i think he means a minimal install | 02:39 |
| alazare619 | ie no apps | 02:39 |
| Unit193 | linuxman410: LightDM or LXDM? | 02:39 |
| alazare619 | wich in all honesty if you want that just get debian netinstalll and start from scratch | 02:39 |
| Unit193 | linuxman410: There is always lubuntu-core | 02:39 |
| linuxman410 | KM0201 they was talking about changing from lxde to something lighter i forget what it was | 02:39 |
| Unit193 | !info lubuntu-core | 02:39 |
| ubot5 | lubuntu-core (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment - minimal installation. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.24 (natty), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc ia64 sparc lpia armel) | 02:39 |
| linuxman410 | light gm | 02:40 |
| KM0201 | linuxman410: dunno, i like lxde, so i hope they don't change it just for the sake of changing it. | 02:40 |
| alazare619 | afaik why not just do debian and choose your guy from the netinstall... | 02:40 |
| alazare619 | or ubuntu netinstall | 02:40 |
| KM0201 | never heard of light gm | 02:40 |
| KM0201 | linuxman410: or do you mean light gdm? | 02:40 |
| linuxman410 | yes | 02:40 |
| KM0201 | i dunno | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | i just hope they don't screw up lubuntu... | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | Unit193: what is that alternative log in screen you sent me a while ago. | 02:41 |
| Unit193 | Lubuntu uses LXDE and that will not change | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | i wanna put that on my new laptop | 02:41 |
| Unit193 | LightDM is what it's (so far) going with in 11.10 | 02:41 |
| Unit193 | KM0201: GDM | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 02:42 |
| Unit193 | KM0201: Doesn't seem to work the best with Lubuntu | 02:42 |
| KM0201 | Unit193: i got it on a desktop working fine w/ lubuntu | 02:42 |
| Unit193 | Alrighty then, I never tried that hard :P | 02:43 |
| KM0201 | brb | 02:44 |
| KM0201 | it works fine | 02:47 |
| KM0201 | i put it on my mom/dads/sisters PC... it was easier than telling them to type user names. | 02:47 |
| KM0201 | now it's kinda like they had w/ Ubuntu, click a username, enter password | 02:47 |
| KM0201 | that was weird | 02:49 |
| Unit193 | KM0201: That's how it's going to be with LightDM (If they stick with it) | 02:49 |
| KM0201 | yeah. | 02:50 |
| KM0201 | Unit193: i kinda hope they go w/ it | 02:51 |
| KM0201 | i like it | 02:51 |
| KM0201 | but the default lubuntu screen doesn't bother me either. | 02:51 |
| KM0201 | hmm, think i might have screwed something up | 02:59 |
| KM0201 | lol, i'll know ina second | 02:59 |
| alazare619 | hows lubuntu performance everyone id like to know a little before i wipe my crunchbang laptop | 03:01 |
| linuxman410 | KM0201 when is 11.10 coming out | 03:02 |
| KM0201 | ok, got it fixed | 03:03 |
| KM0201 | seems lxdm didn't co-operate as easily as i thought it would..lol | 03:03 |
| linuxman410 | KM0201 when is 11.10 coming out | 03:03 |
| KM0201 | 11.10 ---- october 2011 | 03:03 |

| EagleScreen | I dont want to have to type my user and password in lxdm each time I start the computer up | 20:32 |
| lubun | i cant delete or transfer files off of my mp3 players and flash drive... it always shows errors... (i just did a fresh install) do i need to install drivers? | 21:49 |
| KM0201 | lubun: what type of mp3 player and flash drive? | 21:51 |
| lubun | i have an old ipod nano... a phillips go gear aria, and a usb stick cruzer? | 21:51 |
| lubun | KM0201: see above | 21:52 |
| KM0201 | ok, the "old nano".. use gtkpod to sync... ou can't drag/drop to them | 21:52 |
| KM0201 | the cruzer... that's a sandisk isn't it? | 21:52 |
| lubun | yes | 21:52 |
| KM0201 | ok | 21:52 |
| KM0201 | on sandisk thumb drives, sandisk puts a utility on them, to keep them from being used on anything but windows, there's a utility you can install either from the ubuntur epositories (it's a command line utility) to remove that, you can use fdisk under ubuntu to do it, or you can boot wndows (if you still have it) and download a tool from sandisk, to remove it | 21:53 |
| lubun | let me try and find that | 21:55 |
| KM0201 | lubun: if you still have windows.... http://u3.sandisk.com/launchpadremoval.htm | 21:58 |
| lubun | i do have it but on another pc. | 21:59 |
| KM0201 | ok, then you'd need to sudo apt-get install u3-tool | 21:59 |
| KM0201 | you might even be able to use fdisk to just wreck the thumb drive, and then format it to a new filesystem. | 22:00 |
| KM0201 | lubun: keep mind, all those tools, you will lose data, so make sure any important data on the thumb drive, is backed up | 22:00 |
| lubun | well... i backup everything on a external HDD before i went from Ubuntu to Lubuntu. idk what happened, but now they dont work under lubuntu... | 22:01 |
| KM0201 | lubun: your external hard drive (that worked on Ubuntu) won't work on Lubuntu? | 22:03 |
| lubun | no i mean the devices | 22:03 |
| lubun | KM0201: its the mp3's that are not working... they worked fine in ubuntu | 22:04 |
| KM0201 | li don't understand, an mp3, is a file, not a device. | 22:04 |
| KM0201 | are you saying you cant play mp3s? | 22:04 |
| lubun | the only thing i ddint like was that the mp3 always had the music mixed up when i played it. | 22:04 |
| lubun | mp3 device | 22:05 |
| lubun | the go gear, the flash drive, the ipod | 22:05 |
| KM0201 | ok, i don't know about the go gear and the flash drive, but the ipod, install gtkpod | 22:05 |
| lubun | well actuall i just got the sandisk but so idk about that | 22:05 |
| lubun | k | 22:05 |
| lubun | let me try to use that now | 22:05 |
| cg2916 | how do you join the lubuntu artwork team? | 22:14 |
| KM0201 | cg2916: i dunno, but they need help | 22:15 |
| KM0201 | lol | 22:15 |
| cg2916 | ok | 22:15 |
| KM0201 | phillw: probably knows | 22:15 |
| cg2916 | what with? | 22:15 |
| cg2916 | phillw, do you know? | 22:16 |
| lubun | KM0201: heres a kind of off topic question do you know how to take pictures out of a ipod and save them to the computer? | 22:16 |
| KM0201 | lol, uh, everything. lubuntu's artwork leaves a bit to be desired (although thats part of its charm) | 22:16 |
| KM0201 | lubun: as far as i know, gtkpod should be able to do that... i don't have an ipod anymore... | 22:16 |
| cg2916 | phillw must be afk | 22:18 |
| cg2916 | he seems to know a lot, considering i see his name on every other page on the wiki | 22:18 |
| KM0201 | lol, i think thats his "job" (to updat the wiki) | 22:18 |
| cg2916 | yeah | 22:19 |
| cg2916 | so, nobody knows about the artwork team other than phillw? | 22:21 |
