| freedom07 | I'm using lubuntu 11.04 and have my user account loging in automatically on startup, how do I change it to not automatically login? | 09:20 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | freedom07: Just do the reverse of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ#How%20to%20enable%20automatic%20logon%20in%20LXDM | 09:21 |
| freedom07 | thanks Unit193 , I set it up on install and decided i want to change | 09:23 |
| AmberJ | Hello | 09:43 |
| AmberJ | Isn't 'sudo passwd' supposed to change the password of current user invoking the command? | 09:44 |
| Unit193 | sudo passwd username | 09:44 |
| MrCTP | good morning | 09:56 |
| MrCTP | Is there anyone who can help a newbie? | 09:57 |
| AmberJ | Unit193, ok ...but what does it updates if I run it without username as command line argument? | 09:57 |
| AmberJ | MrCTP, Dont ask to ask. | 09:57 |
| MrCTP | so i simply ask? | 09:57 |
| AmberJ | yes MrCTP | 09:58 |
| MrCTP | i need to run a win application on lubuntu.. i installed wine... i runned the command wine setup.exe but it didn't work.. the process is blocked during the installation.. so i simply copied the installation folder from windows to lubuntu and tried to execut the program.exe with "wine program.exe". and i got the message "wine: Install the windows versione of Mono to run .NET executables" | 10:01 |
| MrCTP | now i don't understand, what do i have to install? | 10:03 |
| AmberJ | MrCTP, you need to install Microsoft's .NEt framework. | 10:05 |
| MrCTP | What about mono project? | 10:06 |
| MrCTP | http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page | 10:07 |
| AmberJ | Mono is open source implementation of .NET/C# etc....and windows version of mono means .NEt framework | 10:07 |
| AmberJ | MrCTP, if you dont mind, PM me the application you are trying to run... | 10:08 |
| MrCTP | ok | 10:08 |
| MrCTP | i saw in that website there is a version for ubuntu.. but i can't use it right? | 10:08 |
| MrCTP | i need the version for the windows enviroenment right? | 10:09 |
| AmberJ | wait MrCTP ... | 10:09 |
| AmberJ | I just checked...it seems that they meant this windows version: http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html | 10:10 |
| AmberJ | not sure though...the error message could have been more exact :( | 10:10 |
| MrCTP | i have to install that through wine? | 10:10 |
| AmberJ | yes | 10:11 |
| Valentinex | what is the name of package for screenshot taking application? | 10:22 |
| Valentinex | I want to install screenshot application in my lubuntu so that I can take screen snaps :) | 10:23 |
| AmberJ | Valentinex, there are many....I use imagemagick's 'import'...gimp if you want a GUI | 10:26 |
| Valentinex | gimp is also not installed in lubuntu | 10:26 |
| AmberJ | sudo apt-get install gimp | 10:27 |
| AmberJ | :P | 10:27 |
| Valentinex | there was one sceenshot application which comes default installed in ubuntu | 10:27 |
| Valentinex | eh, i am having slow internet right now that is why want to skip large downloads | 10:27 |
| AmberJ | Valentinex, I guess it's 'shutter' | 10:27 |
| Valentinex | no | 10:27 |
| AmberJ | Valentinex, try at #ubuntu then | 10:29 |
| Valentinex | join #ubuntu | 10:29 |
| Valentinex | how to join ... i am in irc after long | 10:29 |
| Valentinex | oh / | 10:29 |
| AmberJ | /join #donotjointhischannel | 10:30 |
| bioterror | Valentinex, scrot | 10:30 |
| bioterror | Valentinex, it's a default application | 10:30 |
| bioterror | Valentinex, just press print screen button, and you will have a screenshot in your ~/ | 10:30 |
| AmberJ | Valentinex, gnome-screenshot is what you are probably after... | 10:31 |
| Valentinex | yes yes scrot | 10:31 |
| AmberJ | bioterror, I didn't knew this...pretty nifty | 10:31 |
| Valentinex | Thanks | 10:41 |

| Luke2009 | could someone help me ? I'm trying to run a live cd boot with lubuntu.. | 18:19 |
| Luke2009 | But, when it stops loading, there is like a text command line and no graphic interface appears | 18:20 |
| bioterror | what kind of command line | 18:21 |
| Luke2009 | there is a message about something like "root" and "supo"... | 18:21 |
| bioterror | okay | 18:21 |
| bioterror | say: startlubuntu | 18:21 |
| bioterror | if that does the trick | 18:22 |
| Luke2009 | ok ill try | 18:22 |
| Luke2009 | nothing happens, the command line text is ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 18:29 |
| bioterror | really | 18:30 |
| bioterror | doesnt prompt anything? | 18:30 |
| Luke2009 | i typed "startlubuntu" and nothing happened... | 18:31 |
| bioterror | hmm | 18:31 |
| bioterror | what if you type: init 5 | 18:31 |
| Luke2009 | there is a message: "init: Need to be root" | 18:32 |
| bioterror | sudo init | 18:32 |
| bioterror | sudo init 5 | 18:32 |
| Luke2009 | nothing happens.. | 18:33 |
| bioterror | I've never had that kind of problem with my LiveCD's | 18:33 |
| bioterror | is here someone who had similiar case? | 18:34 |
| Luke2009 | maybe the iso is bad ? | 18:34 |
| Luke2009 | i download an iso with this text "lubuntu-11.04.iso" | 18:34 |
| bioterror | I dont think it's bad | 18:34 |
| bioterror | what kind of computer you have? | 18:35 |
| Luke2009 | it's a pentium 2 ibm | 18:35 |
| Luke2009 | it has windows 98 installed right now... | 18:36 |
| Luke2009 | i thought it should run like a live cd boot session | 18:38 |
| bioterror | yes | 18:38 |
| bioterror | but somekind of problems with graphics card, I think | 18:38 |
| bioterror | it should use VESA :P | 18:38 |
| Luke2009 | the first line of command that appears says: "Starting NTP server ntpd" | 18:40 |
| Luke2009 | then the second line: "Welcome to Ubuntu 11.04 (GNU/Linux 2.6.38-8-generic i686) | 18:42 |
| Luke2009 | why all this text appears and nothing happens... | 18:46 |
| Luke2009 | do you think i should only install it from scratch ? | 18:47 |
| bioterror | I would install mini.iso and then install lubuntu-desktop | 18:48 |
| bioterror | I can help with installation, but not with the LiveCD | 18:48 |
| Luke2009 | ok then, could you guide me through the whole installation ? | 18:50 |
| bioterror | !mini | Luke2009 | 18:50 |
| ubot5 | Luke2009: 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 | 18:50 |
| Luke2009 | ok, i choosed "Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" Minimal CD" then i burn the iso in another cd right ? | 18:52 |
| bioterror | yes | 18:55 |
| KM0201 | Luke2009: this details installing Lubuntu on top of the mini cd | 19:03 |
| KM0201 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall | 19:03 |
| KM0201 | it's pretty easy (albeit, kinda slow... once the mini OS is installed though, installing lubuntu-desktop doesnt' take long) | 19:04 |
| Luke2009 | ok, thank you very much | 19:11 |
| ahammond | I have a stock ubuntu system. How to I upgrade / change it to Lubuntu? | 19:36 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 19:38 |
| bioterror | !purelxde | ahammond | 19:38 |
| ubot5 | ahammond: If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » | 19:38 |
| ahammond | thanks | 19:39 |
| john_rambo | I am trying to generate a apparmor profile for the FF 5.0.1 .....http://pastebin.com/b11jxuL9 << But I find no profile is generated | 19:54 |

| riddler | I need help everything is fine until I installed Slitaz, when I reboot the computer it shows the the black HP screen where I can change boot option or change bios etc, then after that it shows another black screen with _ blinking then goes back to the black setup screen. The grub2 is gone, it doesn't even show grub rescue, its like I dont have a hdd. What to do? | 21:12 |
| KM0201 | riddler: well, you do have a hard drive, don't you?.. :) | 21:15 |
| riddler | yes | 21:15 |
| riddler | I look in gparted it says sda is healthy | 21:15 |
| riddler | i use usb stick to access the sda, and its fine but the problem is the home folder is encrypted | 21:16 |
| KM0201 | ah, i have no idea on that one.... | 21:17 |
| riddler | i want to re-install lubuntu as a last resort after i recover the encrypted files that i have in home folder, but if its possible id like to get the boot, master boot record or grub back up and running if possible | 21:17 |
| bioterror | I've once encrypted home | 21:18 |
| bioterror | I'll never do it again :D | 21:18 |
| riddler | ya, i try to do tutorials and it looks like im doing something wrong it wont decrypt | 21:18 |
| riddler | is there anyway i can bring back grub2 to my sda using the lubuntu stick installer whatever | 21:19 |
| riddler | like do some command | 21:19 |
| bioterror | !grub2 | riddler | 21:19 |
| ubot5 | riddler: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 21:19 |
| KM0201 | bioterror: lol, sounds like you might have learned a lesson | 21:19 |
| Hoaas | Hi! | 21:38 |
| pc_ | I just did a minimal install and downloaded the lubuntu-desktop ... now I'm trying to install java with no success ... I would really apreciate any help (I've been googling it for a while) | 21:39 |
| pc_ | hi | 21:40 |
| Hoaas | I installed java less than 5 minutes ago :D | 21:40 |
| pc_ | awesome | 21:40 |
| pc_ | can you tell me how you did it? | 21:40 |
| Hoaas | sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre | 21:40 |
| Unit193 | pc_: Did you try looking at the quide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ | 21:40 |
| Hoaas | oh, and I also did sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extra | 21:41 |
| Hoaas | Not sure if both was required, but it worked in Chromium afterwards atleast. | 21:41 |
| Hoaas | I can't seem to be able to find settings for the login screen though :/ Installed Lubuntu on my parents' old laptop and they hate having to type in username. They prefer to just click things. Any idea where I can change this? | 21:43 |
| riddler | KM0201: ahahahah yes!!!!! it work, grub2 is back, ty for that tutorial link thingie. | 21:55 |
| KM0201 | riddler: i don't think i gave i tto you, but i'm glad whatever was given to you, worked | 21:56 |
| riddler | oh, it was bioterror, well thnx you both anyways. i can log in back to my laptop now. | 21:56 |
| pc_ | the thing is that in here " https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java " it says you can actually install the sun implementation ... that's the one I've been struggling with ... jre-6u26 ... | 22:15 |
| micahg | pc_: you need the partner archive for that | 22:18 |
| bioterror | does partner have up to date java? | 22:18 |
| bioterror | I think you should have some sort of ppa | 22:19 |
| bioterror | Unit193, wakeup! | 22:19 |
| micahg | should have 6u26 | 22:19 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: Eh? I'm working on something, whatcha need? | 22:19 |
| pc_ | thxs anyway Hoaas ... I guess that I'll settle with that if I can't workaround the one I want ... still I'm looking for the answer and/or hoping someone can help me | 22:20 |
| bioterror | Unit193, are you using ppa for java? | 22:20 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: Partner I think | 22:20 |
| bioterror | my wife already shut her laptop's lid | 22:20 |
| Unit193 | Yep, and 6.26 | 22:21 |
| pc_ | micahg can you give me some more details, please? | 22:21 |
| * micahg doesn't know how to enable in lubuntu | 22:22 | |
| bioterror | someone point him to the faq, there's java ;) | 22:22 |
| bioterror | micahg, same way as in any ubuntu | 22:22 |
| micahg | software sources? | 22:22 |
| bioterror | pc_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ section 3.6 | 22:23 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: Already pointed | 22:23 |
| bioterror | I just installed and configured Android on my WinMo phone ;) | 22:23 |
| bioterror | been playing whole day with those | 22:24 |
| bioterror | this one seems to work | 22:24 |
| micahg | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Third-Party%20Software%20Tab if it helps any | 22:24 |
| pc_ | I just tried " https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ " but when I try the install line it says the packages are not available | 22:29 |
| pc_ | the section 3.6 as bioterror pointed | 22:29 |
| Unit193 | sudo apt-get update then follow the resy | 22:30 |
| Unit193 | rest | 22:30 |
| pc_ | hey Hoass, I don't know if it's exactly what your looking for but I just came across this, try section 3.1 in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ#How to enable automatic logon in LXDM | 22:33 |
| ahammond | bioterror: lxde is working nicely for me. thanks again. | 23:27 |
| bioterror | good | 23:28 |
| bioterror | you're welcome | 23:28 |
| Hoaas | pc_: Ah yes, thanks. That would be my next step :> | 23:35 |
| Hoaas | As to that sun java installation, wouldn't it be just 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre'? | 23:37 |
| pc_ | wait ... the other thing you can do is system tools>users and groups | 23:38 |
| Hoaas | Have no idea how to fix it if it doesn't work. | 23:38 |
| pc_ | there you go into password>change and "don't ask for password on login" | 23:39 |
| Hoaas | That box is grayed out :s | 23:39 |
| pc_ | hummm ... ok then the thing I said before might work or give you an idea of other things to do or search about | 23:40 |
| pc_ | by the way the java thing's is done thxs to all ... the FAQ instructions with the update before install did it | 23:42 |
| Hoaas | :D | 23:42 |
| phillw | pc_: does the FAQ need correcting / updating? | 23:42 |
| phillw | bioterror: would squeezing in a quick sudo apt-get update cause any issues to your knowledge? | 23:43 |
| Hoaas | btw. icon + first 'get lubuntu' text on lubuntu.net is linking to 'lubuntu.net/get lubuntu' | 23:45 |
| pc_ | well ... a bit of clarification I guess ... just that in between the repository enabling line and the install one an update must be performed | 23:45 |
| phillw | pc_: yeah, as it is CLI, it does not auto ask, with GUI it does. I'll go and pop it on (unless you would like to do it and get your name as a wiki editor :D ) | 23:47 |
| phillw | Hoaas: I'm trying to catch the 'owner' of lubuntu.net. He has given me admin powers, but I know exactly zero about Drupal which is what it runs with. I have a had a quick look round, but am too wary of breaking something. | 23:49 |
| pc_ | ... well I have no problem doing that in fact "I'd like to" the catch is I don't know how ... | 23:49 |
| phillw | pc_: just PM me, and I'll talk you throug it. Wiki editing is not scary :) | 23:49 |
| pc_ | ok | 23:50 |
| Hoaas | :) | 23:57 |
