| jita | How can i change the meta key alt of terminal so that it does not interfere with other application's metatag ? | 07:31 |
|---|---|---|
| bioterror | for example? | 07:32 |
| jita | bioterror: like irssi uses alt+number to change the channels. But in lxterminal, it changes the tabs of lxterminal instead of irssi's | 07:32 |
| bioterror | ahhh | 07:33 |
| bioterror | ditch that lxterminal and install rxvt-unicode ;) | 07:33 |
| bioterror | like most of us does | 07:33 |
| jita | bioterror: is it better than lxterminal ? | 07:35 |
| bioterror | I can share my .Xdefaults so that you can get nice gnome-terminals tango theme for colors | 07:35 |
| jita | bioterror: that would be great, thanks | 07:35 |
| bioterror | put your apt-get working | 07:35 |
| bioterror | http://ricecows.org/Xdefaults | 07:36 |
| bioterror | wget that | 07:36 |
| bioterror | and rename to .Xdefaults | 07:36 |
| jita | bioterror: ok, thanks | 07:36 |
| bioterror | then: xrdb -merge .Xdefaults | 07:36 |
| bioterror | and your urxvt is ready to roll | 07:36 |
| jita | bioterror: does it support tabs ? | 07:37 |
| bioterror | nope, but it's still better ;) | 07:38 |
| jita | bioterror: there is one other called terminator | 07:43 |
| bioterror | sure there is | 07:43 |
| jita | bioterror: is it any good ? | 07:43 |
| bioterror | I did not like it | 07:43 |
| jita | bioterror: just out of curiosity, whats the benefits of urxvt over lxterminal ? | 07:49 |
| bioterror | your precious meta key | 07:49 |
| jita | bioterror: apart from that ? | 07:51 |
| bioterror | no thanks :( | 08:46 |

| JLUC | hello | 14:39 |
| JLUC | it seems my lubuntu is badly out of order | 14:39 |
| JLUC | when booting grup proposes several options none working | 14:40 |
| JLUC | messsage says disk not ready or not there | 14:41 |
| JLUC | might be material failure | 14:41 |
| JLUC | i can S to not mount or M to recover | 14:43 |
| JLUC | manually | 14:43 |
| JLUC | S says "plymouth command failed" | 14:43 |
| JLUC | dunno what all this are | 14:43 |
| JLUC | is | 14:43 |
| JLUC | and finishes on empty screen blinking cursor | 14:44 |
| JLUC | if 'M' then i enter a command shell | 14:45 |
| JLUC | what to do there ? | 14:45 |
| JLUC | ls lists nothing | 14:46 |
| JLUC | cd .. | 14:47 |
| JLUC | ls | 14:47 |
| JLUC | lists seemingly normal reps | 14:47 |
| JLUC | so disk should be ok | 14:47 |
| JLUC | isnt ? | 14:48 |
| JLUC | somebody ? | 14:49 |
| Hoaas | no idea :| | 14:49 |
| JLUC | i am no expert | 14:49 |
| JLUC | i got a ubuntu disk there | 14:50 |
| JLUC | would installing it erase documents ? | 14:50 |
| JLUC | lubuntu says ubuntu 10.10 | 14:50 |
| Hoaas | Maybe. Could probably start it as a live CD though? | 14:51 |
| Hoaas | I have no idea anyway :/ | 14:51 |
| JLUC | i will try | 14:51 |
| JLUC | may be chance (?) it is same version | 14:52 |
| JLUC | i could try to save docs | 14:52 |
| JLUC | what is the command for getting disk space used recursively in a rep ? | 14:53 |

| b3nw | hi... I went to http://lubuntu.net/ and when I click on "get lubuntu" it gives me Page not found | 18:01 |
| KM0201 | b3nw, hang on, checking it. | 18:12 |
| KM0201 | b3nw, this is the 32bit, 11.04 ISO... http://phillw.net/lubuntu-11.04.iso | 18:13 |
| KM0201 | not really sure what is wrong w/ lubuntu.net tell phillw if you see him | 18:13 |
| KM0201 | b3nw, fwiw, thats also the live cd. | 18:13 |
| b3nw | ya, I found it | 18:20 |
| b3nw | but figured i'd let someone know | 18:20 |
| b3nw | ty | 18:20 |
| jmarsden | The /TOPIC of this channel gives http://tinyurl.com/GetLubuntu as the place to go to get Lubuntu. It works. There is a broken link on the lubuntu.net site, but the link immediately underneath it works fine... | 18:29 |
| phillw | KM0201: b3nw I do have an outstanding email to their web-master, whilst I do have admin access I have exactly zero knowledge of Drupal which lubuntu.net is built with :( | 19:04 |
| KM0201 | phillw: lol, ok... i figured you'd at least know who to contact | 19:05 |
| phillw | I did try to alter it, bit with no experience, I'm more wary of breaking it! | 19:05 |
| KM0201 | yeah | 19:06 |
| KM0201 | ii found him th elink anyway, no biggie | 19:06 |
| phillw | KM0201: it is on the topic on this page, but no-one ever reads them :P | 19:32 |

| aaas | anyone get 11.04 working with virtualbox? | 21:29 |
| stlsaint | aaas: i havent tried sorry | 21:30 |
| aaas | if i start live I get complaints about unity when i try and install from the icon...straight install boots to a command promp | 21:31 |
| aaas | *t | 21:31 |
| phillw | aaas: it runs fine in mine | 21:32 |
| aaas | hmmm...windows 7 host? | 21:32 |
| stlsaint | aaas: you trying this with ubuntu or lubuntu? | 21:32 |
| aaas | windows 7 host | 21:32 |
| aaas | lubuntu guest | 21:32 |
| stlsaint | nope, no windows here man | 21:33 |
| phillw | aaas: I use Oracle VM under linux, sorry - I've never tried Windows :( | 21:33 |
| jmarsden | I run Lubuntu in Virtualbox under Windows 7 at work and it is fine. "complaints about unity" ? Lubuntu does not include unity. | 21:36 |
| aaas | yeah ...strange huh | 21:36 |
| aaas | im trying again | 21:36 |
| jmarsden | Please post the *exact* error message . | 21:36 |
| aaas | took forever to boot | 21:36 |
| aaas | now straight black | 21:37 |
| aaas | it has enought ubuntu architecture..it now says "welcome to UBUNTU" | 21:38 |
| aaas | but it was booting as "LUBUNTU" | 21:38 |
| aaas | so its not a strech that there might be some word of unity somewhere | 21:38 |
| jmarsden | aaas: Lubuntu is a flavour of Ubuntu. What is your point? | 21:38 |
| aaas | ubuntu has unity | 21:38 |
| aaas | it says 'ubuntu' | 21:39 |
| jmarsden | As one of its developers, I am pretty sure Unity is not included in Lubuntu 11.04 :) | 21:39 |
| aaas | so its not unreasionable that it may have an error regarding unity | 21:39 |
| aaas | im sure it's not | 21:39 |
| aaas | but are you certain the word 'unity' is no where in the codebase? | 21:39 |
| jmarsden | I could scan it, but it doesn't seem worth the time. Can you provide the exact error message for me? | 21:40 |
| aaas | sure.. | 21:40 |
| aaas | im trying to do an 'install' without doing it through live | 21:40 |
| aaas | if it doesn't work..ill get the error | 21:40 |
| aaas | ahh it was 'ubiquity' | 21:43 |
| aaas | 'sorry the program ubiquity closed unexpectedly' | 21:44 |
| aaas | this happens on win7 | 21:44 |
| aaas | 32bit | 21:44 |
| aaas | and 64 | 21:44 |
| phillw | aaas: not my favourite thing :P | 21:44 |
| aaas | with virtualbox | 21:44 |
| aaas | newest version | 21:44 |
| phillw | ubiq causes issues for lubuntu. a little too greedy for our target systems :( | 21:45 |
| jmarsden | OK. Ubiquity is the GUI installer program being used. Wait... "newest version" as it a daily ISO of Lubuntu 11.10 Oneiric?? | 21:45 |
| aaas | no newest version of virtualbox | 21:45 |
| aaas | im using 11.04 of lubuntu | 21:46 |
| jmarsden | OK. I have 4.0.12 at work and Lubuntu 11.04 from the official lubuntu-11.04.iso file. Works for me. How much RAM did you allocate to the Lubuntu VM? | 21:46 |
| aaas | >256 <512 | 21:46 |
| aaas | and 1gb on the 64bit machine | 21:47 |
| aaas | but i can try again | 21:47 |
| aaas | sorry scratch that | 21:47 |
| aaas | 256 on the 64bit machine | 21:47 |
| jmarsden | OK. 384MB and up should be fine. 256MB or so causes known issues in the installer. | 21:47 |
| aaas | ill try again | 21:47 |
| jmarsden | I have 2GB allocated to mine... :) | 21:47 |
| phillw | 256MB will not work :( | 21:48 |
| aaas | is it jsut the install that has this limitation? can it run on 256 | 21:49 |
| jmarsden | Correct. You should be able to run in 256MB once installed. | 21:49 |
| aaas | trying now | 21:50 |
| KM0201 | your'e not installing 64bit are you? | 21:50 |
| KM0201 | that seems kinda pointless w/ only 256mb of ram | 21:50 |
| aaas | i dont think so | 21:50 |
| aaas | do they have a 64bit version? | 21:50 |
| jmarsden | There is an unofficial 64bit ISO. Read the /topic for a link to the GetLubuntu page... | 21:51 |
| KM0201 | aaas: but w/ only 256mb of ram, it tmakes very very little sense | 21:53 |
| aaas | im pretty sure its 32bit | 21:53 |
| KM0201 | aaas: oh ok, well you said 256mb on a 64bit machine, a few minutes ago.. so i thought you wer elooking to install 64bit | 21:54 |
| aaas | no 32bit on a 64bit machine | 21:54 |
| jmarsden | aaas: Allocate your VM more RAM and retry the installation. | 21:54 |
| aaas | but actually im installing on 32bit..that was only for a test | 21:54 |
| aaas | its running...on a slow eee 1000h atom | 21:55 |
| KM0201 | why don't you just boot a live USB, rather than trying to do this in VM, on a machine w/ such limited resources? | 21:56 |
| aaas | ok running 'live' brings me to 'welcome to ubuntu 11.04' command prompt it doesnt make it to the desktop | 21:56 |
| KM0201 | you can boot the live CD several times (to test, etc..)it's not like you have to install it. | 21:56 |
| aaas | I have ~400 meg allocated | 21:57 |
| aaas | (theres only 1gig on this netbook i think) | 21:57 |
| KM0201 | aaas: that system is just o limited (IMO) to reliably run two OS's... again, why not just boot a USB? | 21:58 |
| KM0201 | or cd | 21:59 |
| aaas | no cd drive | 21:59 |
| aaas | and i dont see how a usb would make things better | 21:59 |
| KM0201 | ok, then live usb. | 21:59 |
| aaas | ah you mean as it own | 21:59 |
| KM0201 | uh, .. cuz you can boot the usb.. and running two OS's, is a lot harder on a system w/ limited ram, than running 1. | 21:59 |
| jmarsden | aaas: Because you are then not running Windows underneath Lubuntu :) | 21:59 |
| aaas | well i need windows at the same time | 21:59 |
| KM0201 | why? | 21:59 |
| jmarsden | Then you need more RAM, or a lot of luck. | 22:00 |
| aaas | access to acrobat | 22:00 |
| aaas | im hoping for the later | 22:00 |
| KM0201 | aaas: ... you do realize Lubuntu has a PDF reader by default don't you? it's called Evince.. | 22:00 |
| jmarsden | aaas: Run the Windows stuff on the other 64bit box and access it across the network? rdesktop or whatever? | 22:00 |
| aaas | i need acrobat features | 22:00 |
| aaas | no this is for vacation | 22:00 |
| KM0201 | aaas: then install adobe acrobat reader for linux... it's not that difficult | 22:00 |
| jmarsden | You need two OSes and special Acrobat features... for a vacation? :) | 22:01 |
| KM0201 | jmarsden: sure smells trollish. | 22:01 |
| aaas | that supports portfolios, inking, editing, etc.. | 22:01 |
| aaas | long story but i could get into it if you want | 22:01 |
| KM0201 | aaas: naa, but i can tell you one thing, running 2 OS's, on a machine w/ specs that are that limited, is not going to be very successful. | 22:02 |
| aaas | ok | 22:02 |
| KM0201 | fred flinstone didn't think he wouldn't have to push his car w/ his feet, if he put a porche engine in the front.. | 22:02 |
| KM0201 | one thing for sure, it was harder to push. | 22:02 |
| aaas | sorry i have to catch up to that analogy ;) | 22:03 |
| aaas | looks like dual boot might be my only option | 22:03 |
| KM0201 | aaas: think about it.. :) | 22:03 |
| KM0201 | aaas: dual boot is your best option, yes. | 22:03 |
| phillw | aaas: there are not too many pdf functions not available in linux now. | 22:07 |
| phillw | I have a fully licensed (and expensive) one for the Mac, I never need it these days. | 22:07 |
| aaas | phillw: well i need a good inking program...I use pdf annotator a lot | 22:08 |
| aaas | i also use the portfolio feature of acrobat and its cleartext ocr | 22:08 |
| jmarsden | phillw: "Not too many"? All of these are free in Linux: pdf2dsc pdfatfi pdfetex pdfinfo pdflatex pdfopt pdftexi2dvi pdftoppm pdftotext pdf2ps pdfclose pdffonts pdfjadetex pdfnup pdfroff pdftoabw pdftops pdf90 pdfcrop pdfimages pdfjoin pdfopen pdftex pdftohtml pdftosrc | 22:09 |
| aaas | i think he said 'not available' | 22:09 |
| aaas | someone's getting defensive ;0 | 22:09 |
| jmarsden | Ah, I missed the second "not" :) | 22:10 |
| phillw | aaas: have a quick read of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575308 that was the fastest I could find for you. | 22:10 |
| aaas | well i was thining more digital ink | 22:10 |
| * phillw slaps jmarsden with a wet kipper :P | 22:11 | |
| aaas | i prefer two comptuers with windows and linux I don't have any limitations that way ;) | 22:11 |
| * jmarsden grills the kipper and eats it for berakfast :) | 22:11 | |
| phillw | aaas: google is your friend, just use the + in front of requiremements... a quick one with digital link gave me http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-non-adobe-pdf-reader.htm I take a while to narrow things down :) | 22:13 |
| aaas | it doesn't have digital ink | 22:14 |
| aaas | its ok..pdf annotaor is great | 22:14 |
| aaas | it jsut doesn't have autosave | 22:14 |
| aaas | but i convinced the devs to implement it ;) | 22:15 |
