| hoodie-1 | hello? | 03:19 |
|---|---|---|
| hoodie-1 | i'm trying to install lubuntu on an 8gb SSD drive, but it's saying i need at least 10.7gb to install | 03:19 |
| KM0201 | 10.7? | 03:20 |
| hoodie-1 | this is weird, i installed this exact OS in the past, worked fine. yes, 10.7 | 03:20 |
| hoodie-1 | and ubuntu WAS saying the same thing, but i did something and then it was ok with 4.4 | 03:20 |
| hoodie-1 | not sure what i did.. | 03:21 |
| KM0201 | i don't think you did anything | 03:21 |
| hoodie-1 | well why in the world is lubuntu requiring 10.7 GB to install? | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | i dunno, that makes no sense | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | i have an enormous amount of crap on my 25gig Lubuntu partition, and still have almost 15gigs free | 03:23 |
| hoodie-1 | i think when i installed from my sandisk usb it worked, but when i try from my microSD card it's giving me this 10.7 business | 03:23 |

| zoe | hi | 18:23 |
| zoe | I have just installed lubuntu and everything is running well except sound | 18:23 |
| zoe | is anybody available to help me step by step? | 18:24 |
| bioterror | open terminal | 18:24 |
| bioterror | run alsamiser | 18:24 |
| zoe | running fine alsamixer | 18:24 |
| bioterror | and check that you dont pcm and master muted | 18:24 |
| bioterror | have | 18:24 |
| zoe | all are at max volume | 18:24 |
| bioterror | and they have OO? | 18:25 |
| zoe | no | 18:25 |
| zoe | level is 84 or 80 | 18:25 |
| zoe | almost full volume | 18:25 |
| zoe | i tried to play a sound with aplay | 18:25 |
| bioterror | but do you have any of them muted | 18:25 |
| zoe | it says it played but not sound | 18:25 |
| bioterror | MM = muted | 18:25 |
| bioterror | OO = not muted | 18:25 |
| zoe | hmmm | 18:25 |
| zoe | all muted in fact | 18:25 |
| zoe | how do you change mm to oo? | 18:25 |
| bioterror | with m | 18:26 |
| zoe | amazing | 18:26 |
| bioterror | if only I could code, I would make lxmixer :D | 18:26 |
| zoe | you save my poor life of father of a little girl 3 year old :) | 18:26 |
| bioterror | :) | 18:26 |
| bioterror | remember to sudo alsactl store | 18:26 |
| zoe | she will be able to hear poissonrouge.com | 18:26 |
| bioterror | oh well, from father to another | 18:27 |
| bioterror | I feel you! | 18:27 |
| zoe | lol | 18:27 |
| zoe | what is that commande for? | 18:27 |
| zoe | saving parameters? | 18:27 |
| bioterror | yes | 18:27 |
| zoe | not so trivial to remember? :) | 18:27 |
| zoe | strange that after fresh installation all of that is muted... | 18:28 |
| bioterror | that happens | 18:28 |
| zoe | murphy's law :) | 18:28 |
| zoe | have to personnalize lxde to remove all except some soft | 18:28 |
| bioterror | what you want to personalize? | 18:29 |
| zoe | remove menus etc to avoid mistakes :) | 18:29 |
| bioterror | you want more like Kiosk-mode | 18:30 |
| bioterror | ? | 18:30 |
| zoe | hmmm | 18:30 |
| zoe | i want to let hear | 18:30 |
| zoe | go on poissonrouge.com | 18:30 |
| zoe | launch gcompris | 18:30 |
| zoe | and some other soft as DVD player | 18:30 |
| bioterror | nice site, my 4 years old daughter might like that | 18:31 |
| zoe | of sure | 18:31 |
| zoe | plenty of different language | 18:31 |
| bioterror | she usually plays Dora's magical garden or something and prints lots of papers | 18:32 |
| zoe | mainly french (native language for me) | 18:32 |
| zoe | hmmm, i will perhaps install the printer over ethernet | 18:32 |
| zoe | but not a good idea to let my daughter printing everything she wants | 18:33 |
| zoe | could be catastrophic for the forest :) | 18:33 |
| zoe | is there any app for that "kiosk-mode"? | 18:36 |
| zoe | is it possible to remove the virtual desktop? | 18:41 |
| zoe | ok, found in the openbox config :) | 18:49 |
| zoe | I try to use the command line chromium-browser --kiosk http://www.google.com, the browser is openin but not in fullscreen mode... | 19:02 |
| zoe | arf, working now | 19:02 |
| zoe | add to close all tabs first... | 19:03 |
| bioterror | :) | 19:03 |
| bioterror | add that to startup | 19:03 |
| bioterror | could do the trick ;) | 19:03 |
| zoe | in fact, but i would prefer to keep my taskbar | 19:04 |
| zoe | to let her launch some other soft | 19:04 |
| zoe | openbox is really easy to customize | 19:05 |
| zoe | amazing | 19:05 |
| zoe | is it possible to add that command line in thequick launch taskbar? | 19:07 |
| edwardthefma | hello all | 19:07 |
| zoe | hi | 19:08 |
| edwardthefma | can some 1 help me find the download for lubuntu ver 9.10 | 19:08 |

| zoe | google is my friend :) | 19:09 |
| zoe | why to install old version? | 19:09 |
| edwardthefma | old pc | 19:09 |

| edwardthefma | not alot | 19:11 |
| bioterror | !mini | edwardthefma | 19:11 |
| ubot5 | edwardthefma: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:11 |
| zoe | i am running with 196Mo, work fine | 19:11 |
| bioterror | and use apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ;) | 19:11 |
| elros | for an old PC use 10.04 | 19:11 |
| zoe | it is what i have done, really simple | 19:11 |
| edwardthefma | i tryed ten | 19:12 |
| zoe | did you try slitaz? | 19:12 |
| edwardthefma | dosent work but i know 9.10 ubuntu works | 19:12 |
| elros | of course you can try with debian too, just install lxde + xorg + gdm | 19:12 |
| zoe | http://download.lxde.org/lubuntu-9.10/ | 19:12 |
| edwardthefma | and lubuntu is just a lighter varation of ubuntu | 19:12 |
| zoe | http://www.slitaz.org | 19:13 |
| edwardthefma | ok thx | 19:13 |
| edwardthefma | zoe my last plan was puppy linux | 19:14 |
| edwardthefma | it this didint work :) | 19:14 |
| zoe | you can try doudoulinux too if you want :) | 19:14 |
| zoe | try slitaz, seriously it is really small but effective | 19:14 |
| zoe | I tried SALIX too | 19:15 |
| zoe | finally i am running lubuntu last version, working really fine for me, stable and easy | 19:15 |
| elros | oneiric? | 19:15 |
| zoe | elros? | 19:16 |
| edwardthefma | well this pc used to run windows me | 19:16 |
| elros | yes? | 19:16 |
| elros | so it's from '99-'00 | 19:16 |
| edwardthefma | yes | 19:16 |
| edwardthefma | compac presaro 5000 | 19:18 |
| zoe | what kind of proc? | 19:19 |
| edwardthefma | 750mzh athlon | 19:22 |
| edwardthefma | 64 mb ram | 19:22 |
| * edwardthefma downloaded lubuntu-9.10_lynxis_b23.iso | 19:26 | |
| edwardthefma | i hope this is the corect 1 | 19:26 |
| edwardthefma | well it seems to work | 19:43 |
| edwardthefma | but ween i click the install icon it dosent load the installer | 19:43 |
| edwardthefma | is thare a way i can install it via the termnal | 19:44 |
| bioterror | !mini | edwardthefma | 19:45 |
| ubot5 | edwardthefma: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:45 |
| bioterror | and then just sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 19:45 |
| bioterror | but you cant run anything on 64MB:D | 19:45 |
| edwardthefma | dammed | 19:45 |
| edwardthefma | but the live cd works | 19:45 |
| edwardthefma | XD | 19:45 |
| bioterror | dunno how well | 19:45 |
| bioterror | but if you think that you drop openbox and lxde off and you use fluxbox, you still have 54-56MB of RAM in use after boot on desktop | 19:46 |
| bioterror | not that much left for anything | 19:46 |
| edwardthefma | i just looked in side the box | 19:46 |
| edwardthefma | le me double check the ram | 19:46 |
| edwardthefma | its got 2 256 ram cards and 1 64 | 19:49 |
| edwardthefma | apparently i for got i upgraded it | 19:49 |
| edwardthefma | <bioterror> i just double checked the ram | 19:59 |
| edwardthefma | 512 | 19:59 |
| bioterror | run 11.04 then ;) | 20:00 |
| edwardthefma | i did | 20:00 |
| edwardthefma | XD i got a error | 20:00 |
| bioterror | did you explain that error somewhere today+ | 20:01 |
| edwardthefma | i serch the forms and found out the modle pc is having issues with 10 | 20:01 |
| edwardthefma | so i just down grade to a version that is known to work | 20:01 |
| bioterror | what's the error? | 20:01 |
| edwardthefma | ill have too look it up 1 sec | 20:02 |
| edwardthefma | grrrr | 20:12 |
| edwardthefma | i cant find the error in my history | 20:12 |
| elros | edwardthefma: use 10.04, it has better support for older hardware | 20:13 |
| edwardthefma | ok well i have 9.10 allredy on a disc | 20:14 |
| edwardthefma | i might as well use it | 20:14 |
| edwardthefma | i can upgrade it later | 20:14 |
| elros | use the alternate installer (or the minimal CD), 10.04.3 was just relesed | 20:16 |
| edwardthefma | ok i probbly wil | 20:16 |
| elros | with 576 ram you can have gnome / xfce / lxde / fluxbox / whatnot | 20:17 |
| edwardthefma | i know it used to have ubuntu 9.10 | 20:18 |
| edwardthefma | but i wanted somthing lighter | 20:18 |
| elros | during boot you can choose to install command-line only, after that you must install xorg, gdm and desktop environment manually | 20:18 |
| edwardthefma | since it was slow | 20:18 |
| elros | xfce and lxde are solid desktops, if you have too much free time then you can even try fluxbox | 20:19 |
| edwardthefma | wen i turn on the pc with the disc it says press enter or type live to open live cd | 20:19 |
| bioterror | or just drop lxde and use openbox ;) | 20:19 |
| edwardthefma | well this is for my grand mother | 20:20 |
| edwardthefma | and her anteque of a pc | 20:20 |
| elros | ok, then put xfce/lxde if she's not (against conventional wisdom) a command-line hacker | 20:21 |
| phillw | edwardthefma: I do not think you can upgrade from 9.10 - I could be wrong, but I think the team pretty much started again with 10.04. A lot of basic structure was altered. 10.04 will be supported, 9.10 will not. | 20:21 |
| KM0201 | edwardthefma: you should be able to upgrade karmic | 20:22 |
| KM0201 | !eol | 20:22 |
| ubot5 | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 20:22 |
| KM0201 | !karmic | 20:22 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://goo.gl/UUTAB for details. | 20:22 |
| edwardthefma | well if she can play her farmville and do her email he wil be happy | 20:23 |
| elros | lucid has a decent lxde desktop, and xfce has been mature for even longer | 20:23 |
| KM0201 | elros: onlyt hing is, xfce is almost as bloated as gnome. | 20:23 |
| bioterror | that's what people says | 20:24 |
| bioterror | but I never see any facts | 20:24 |
| elros | on my kick butt 2GHz athlon xp they are almost the same :) | 20:24 |
| elros | with greater performance comes greater responsibility | 20:25 |
| edwardthefma | i need to buy more cds | 20:27 |
| KM0201 | bioterror: i can't realy give yo u"facts"... all i'll tell you is, the reason I stopped using Gnome, is because it was bloated, so I went to Xfce (which I also have a lot of experience with)... I used XFCE for about a month, and had more or less the same issues as I had on Gnome 3/Unity, and thats how I ended up on LXDE | 20:28 |
| bioterror | wish I had another laptop, I would like to make some testings | 20:30 |
| KM0201 | bioterror: one off the bigger issues i had w/ XFCE 4, was the compositing, so i disabled it... | 20:32 |
| KM0201 | but it still seemed extremely sluggish | 20:32 |
| elros | bioterror: if you have enough ram you can try virtualbox | 20:34 |
| bioterror | elros, not a huge fan of those ;) | 20:35 |
| elros | it's surprisingly easy to use | 20:35 |
| Trusardi | hey by mistake i have set up a default action for clicking a folder to open it with music player | 20:37 |
| Trusardi | by "open with" | 20:37 |
| Trusardi | normally when i click a folder it opens fine, but when i open a folder via application it runs music player - | 20:38 |
| Trusardi | does anyone know how to reverse it? | 20:38 |
| bioterror | who has hands on pcmanfm? ;) | 20:41 |
| KM0201 | i had that happen w/ Gnome once, but never w/ PCMan.. have no idea how to fix it there | 20:43 |
| Trusardi | irritating ;] | 20:43 |
| Trusardi | just to think that i switched to lxde to avoid unity :P | 20:43 |
| Trusardi | file types allow me to change it in properties but not folders..... | 20:43 |
| bioterror | I'll grab my wife's laptop | 20:44 |
| Trusardi | sorry got dc-ed | 20:51 |
| Trusardi | did perhaps anyone come up with an idea how to solve this silly pcmanfm/folder association prob? | 20:51 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 20:52 |
| bioterror | where does pcmanfm puke those configs | 20:52 |
| Trusardi | .config/pcmanfm | 20:53 |
| bioterror | nope | 20:53 |
| Trusardi | has to be local somewhere | 20:53 |
| bioterror | .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list | 20:54 |
| Trusardi | gotcha | 20:54 |
| bioterror | inode/directory=audacious2.desktop; | 20:54 |
| bioterror | [Default Applications] | 20:54 |
| bioterror | inode/directory=audacious2.desktop | 20:54 |
| Trusardi | cool | 20:56 |
| Trusardi | it worked | 20:56 |
| Trusardi | thx bioterror | 20:56 |
| bioterror | np | 20:56 |
| * Trusardi bows and throws the teleportationtohogwarth powder on himself | 20:57 | |
| bioterror | that was rather easy | 20:58 |
| edwardthefma | :) | 21:30 |
| KM0201 | ? | 21:36 |
| edwardthefma | <bioterror> remer that error i told u i was getting | 23:17 |
| edwardthefma | remember | 23:17 |
| edwardthefma | with ten and 11 | 23:17 |
| edwardthefma | well i tok a picture of it with my cam | 23:17 |
| edwardthefma | <bioterror> u thare | 23:28 |

| edwardthefma | i dont want to risk my pc with a upgrade | 23:35 |
| phillw | edwardthefma: I'm not too sure where you and bioterror got to, but the 2nd error is what is known as a spurious error (a false error, that just annoys). | 23:37 |
| phillw | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/531027 has some details on it. If it is actually stopping you from booting, then it is an entirely different problem. | 23:38 |

| phillw | edwardthefma: can you log on okay? | 23:39 |
| edwardthefma | no | 23:39 |
| phillw | okay, then it looks to me as if you will have to use the force option. | 23:40 |
| edwardthefma | how do i do that | 23:40 |
| edwardthefma | also waht is force | 23:41 |
| phillw | edwardthefma: is the computer an older model? | 23:41 |
| edwardthefma | yes | 23:41 |
| phillw | it may be tied to an old BIOS, the force is an attempt to over-ride that. | 23:42 |
| edwardthefma | compaq presaro 500US | 23:42 |
| edwardthefma | i dont want to risk the bios upgrade | 23:42 |
| edwardthefma | if i kill the mother bord the pc is scrap | 23:43 |
| phillw | that is quite okay, I'm just digging around for suggested threads that are marked [SOLVED] (I prefer to advise people to use those ones!) | 23:44 |
| edwardthefma | ok | 23:44 |
| edwardthefma | i think ill probbly have to fix it with a live cd | 23:45 |
| edwardthefma | that waht i love about linux | 23:46 |
| edwardthefma | wen shit brakes you can allwaysuse a live cd | 23:46 |
| ricardo-brasil | hi, I've installed lubuntu 11.04, but I'm having some trouble with it. It just stop working when I right-click in menu and then click on desktop and so click on menu again... it just stop, and I got to restart computer | 23:49 |
| phillw | edwardthefma: as far as I can see, force=1 is to check out the hard drive in case it has been scrambled. This does make some sense as from CD you can boot okay. | 23:52 |
| edwardthefma | ok so waht do you sugest | 23:53 |
| edwardthefma | it the hard drive then | 23:54 |
| edwardthefma | its | 23:54 |
| phillw | edwardthefma: I'd suggest doing a fsck once you have booted up from the liveCD (For heavens sake, NEVER fsck a 'live' system)! | 23:55 |
| edwardthefma | ok | 23:56 |
| * edwardthefma looks up the instrutions on fsck | 23:57 | |
| edwardthefma | :) | 23:58 |
| phillw | edwardthefma: that is what they want by putting force=1 into grub, it will make the disk area fsck at boot without the CD | 23:59 |
