[02:44] <riddler> hey guys, any recommendation for lubuntu program/software that mounts .iso files
[02:45] <stlsaint> riddler: ark or archive mounter
[02:46] <riddler> stlsaint, ok thnx for the tip
[02:46] <KM0201> riddler: or gmountiso.. it's deadnuts simple
[02:46] <stlsaint> riddler: brasero also but yes gmount is nice
[02:47] <riddler> ah alrite, ill check those out ty
[02:48] <KM0201> i think i'm gonna use Lubuntu to run my headless server... i tried to setup Ubuntu Server, but I'm just not competent enough w/ CLI... I can do it in about 15-20min w/ Lubuntu
[02:48] <KM0201> after i uninstalled all the apps I didn't need, installed a few I did (openssh, samba, .etc.).. the install takes less than 2gigs, completely updated.
[02:48] <stlsaint> KM0201: what issues are you having?
[02:49] <KM0201> stlsaint: no real "issues" i just have to google foor commands constantly while setting up, some of them work, some of them do not, so then i gotta start googling again, often coming across many of the commands that didn't work for me in the first place.
[02:50] <stlsaint> KM0201: making a headless server forward a gui takes up much unwarranted resources
[02:50] <KM0201> stlsaint: i guess i could disable X
[02:50] <stlsaint> KM0201: which puts you back at cli :D
[02:50]  * KM0201 sighs... i know
[02:50] <stlsaint> solution==learn command line
[02:51] <KM0201> yeah, thats a good solution, and honestly, as long as i've been using linux, i'm a little embarassed i'm not better at it than I am.
[02:51] <stlsaint> :)
[02:51] <KM0201> i can't believe i can get the install under 2gigs though..lol
[02:52] <stlsaint> its due to my servers that i even learned command line and started preferring it over gui even on desktop installs
[02:52] <stlsaint> hence i like irssi :D
[02:52] <KM0201> yeah, it's just that FreeNas has upset me.. so i gotta dump it.
[02:52] <KM0201> that's really all i use i tfor, is a NAS..
[02:53] <stlsaint> aye
[02:53] <KM0201> besides that, most of the time, GUI will not even be "logged in".. as i'll just SSH in if i need to do something.
[02:54] <KM0201> it'll just be there if i ever need it.
[02:55] <stlsaint> KM0201: what are your server specs?
[02:55] <KM0201> 2x2tb, 1.4ghz procssor, 1.5gig of ram.
[02:55] <Unit193> Wait, what's a desktop? ;)
[02:55] <KM0201> like i said, it's just a NAS
[02:56] <KM0201> my main pc, is 2.3hz, my laptop.. i think its a 2ghz celeron
[02:57] <KM0201> i just got the laptop, about 2 weeks agoo.
[02:57] <KM0201> absolutely sucks w/ 7 (i knew it would, not enough ram), but it scorches the earth on Lubuntu
[02:58] <stlsaint> KM0201: yea at 1.5GB you are gonna want to take resource usage into consideration
[02:59] <KM0201> stlsaint: i think it will work fine
[02:59] <KM0201> if it's an issue, i'll adapt and overcome
[02:59] <stlsaint> KM0201: my primary server has 32GB ram and i still run ubuntu server with no X, not even webmin! :D
[02:59] <Unit193> stlsaint: Wow, nice server!
[03:00] <KM0201> i've not "rolled it out" yet, i've been testing it in Vbox this week (2 virtual drives, 10gigs, 512mb of ram).. too simulate my server on a smaller scale, and i think its gonna work fine
[03:00] <stlsaint> Unit193: oh yea! I it and two other servers ready for deployment for $400
[03:00] <KM0201> i think i have it about perfected
[03:00] <KM0201> stlsaint: i'm sure that fits your needs but for me, that is just freaking ridiculous.
[03:00] <stlsaint> KM0201: oh no dude i have no need for freaking 32GB ram, it just came with the server when i bought it!
[03:01] <stlsaint> even with virtualization/contextualization i still am not using 32GB ram!
[03:01] <KM0201> stlsaint: i can only imagine what that cost you, and like i said, totally ridiculous for my needs
[03:01] <KM0201> i was gonna buy a readyNas, but they seem a little limited, and i had all the stuff here to build one
[03:01] <Unit193> stlsaint: I should get a VPS from you then ;)
[03:02] <KM0201> i've been happy w/ FreeNas since 6, then i made the mistake of installing 8, which has given me nothing but issues.
[03:02] <stlsaint> KM0201: see my comment above man, i got that big server that is a 2xQuad core, 2TB drives, 32GB ram, plus two other smaller servers with spare parts all for $400!!
[03:02] <KM0201> and now i can't find my 6 cd, and they no longer have it for download..
[03:02] <KM0201> stlsaint: wow, good deal.
[03:02] <KM0201> the components are worth way more than that.
[03:02] <stlsaint> KM0201: heck yea, so you are right i have no need for it at this current time but i couldnt pass up a deal like that!!
[03:03] <stlsaint> Unit193: you should! :D
[03:03] <stlsaint> Unit193: when i get back to the states of course!
[03:04] <Unit193> stlsaint: Na, I was just kidding. I wouldn't fully know what to do with it to cover the price :P
[03:05] <stlsaint> Unit193: ha, i wouldnt charge ya man!
[03:07] <Unit193> Eh? Why not? You have the hardware to do it as long as you have the uptime, you can give Ubuntu folk discounts
[03:07] <stlsaint> Unit193: i offered to give some space out to those who just wanted to learn linux or programming databasing etc
[03:08] <stlsaint> Unit193: and you wouldnt much options like backups, reinstalls, etc as you would with a actual provider
[06:40] <Unit193> jibel_: Thanks, I updated it (I wouldn't have noticed)
[15:26] <w30> I got my network printer setup and I can print a test page. I don't have any lpr and any buttons to tell lubuntu to print. What do I need to install. Install lpr didn't work.
[16:20]  * w30 has to go for now
[17:23] <w30> I don't have any print choices in any apps and no lpr either. Adding lpr didn't fix it. What do I add?
[17:25] <w30> I have <file><save>, <save as>, etc. but no <print>
[17:26] <w30> I can print a test page but that is all I can print
[17:36] <lxdevm> hi guys, just testing out lubuntu in a vm; gotta say i'm impressed
[17:39] <w30> lxdevm, seems to be lean and mean, ha! I have just saved a useless HP Mini Netbook with Lubuntu. Worthless with XP
[17:40] <w30> XP took up the whole 8.6 solid state drive, I couldn't even get word installed.
[17:41] <blackcatnekonegr> Hi, what is the command for lubuntu to reinstall using online packages in terminal mode?
[17:43] <lxdevm> w30: lxde seems to be a great fallback if xfce gets out of control
[17:44] <w30> lxdevm, you mean feature bloat?
[17:45] <lxdevm> w30: yeah, for now it's ok but i'm not sure if it will stay  that way
[17:45] <w30> blackcatnekonegr, I would guess apt-get. see man apt-get
[17:45] <blackcatnekonegr> blackcatnekonegr, apt-get +what?
[17:46] <w30> blackcatnekonegr, I don't see reinstall but I see purge, install,  etc. remove flags
[17:46] <lxdevm> w30: i'm a fan of the *bsds so hopefully xfce won't go the way of gnome
[17:47] <blackcatnekonegr> alternateley, I have the image of the cd and an usb flash drive , how do I make the usb installer using only linux tools?
[17:49] <w30> blackcatnekonegr, I used Ubuntu 11.4's startup disc creator and put the Lubuntu iso on a flash drive, not a cd.
[17:50] <blackcatnekonegr> I do not use ubuntu 11.4, but 10.10, I need a generic tool
[17:51] <blackcatnekonegr> on a way for the mounted cd image installer to boot in linux
[17:51] <blackcatnekonegr> *or
[17:51] <w30> blackcatnekonegr, it allows 4 gig for configuration files like printer setups and other necessary drivers
[17:52] <blackcatnekonegr> the lubuntu image is less than 800 mb, the usb installer should be more than fine in a 1 gb pendrive
[17:52] <w30> blackcatnekonegr, see if your synaptic has disc creator?
[17:53] <blackcatnekonegr> I seem to have it, but I need a usb installer not a cd
[17:53] <blackcatnekonegr> cds get screwed in my dvd drive after a few uses
[17:54] <blackcatnekonegr> I only use the lubuntu disk once and it alredy gives me errors, and I had checked it for errors just after I made it!
[17:54] <w30> blackcatnekonegr, not sure of the package name but the title bar application says Make Staerup Disk
[17:54] <w30> Startup
[17:55] <blackcatnekonegr> again, I need a tool to burn the imagine on a usb flash drive, using linux
[17:56] <blackcatnekonegr> is a shame lubuntu doesnt have a usb creator for linux
[17:56] <blackcatnekonegr> I can mount the iso in linux, but I cant start the installer program
[17:57] <lxdevm> blackcatnekonegr: search for unetbootin in synaptic
[17:59] <blackcatnekonegr> I am using ubuntu right know, any ubuntu tool that lets me make a usb flash installer so I boot fith that and install lubuntu in my other hard disk? because I dont want to waste another cd with the dvd rom that destroys cds
[17:59] <lxdevm> blackcatnekonegr: search for unetbootin in synaptic
[17:59] <w30> blackcatnekonegr, here ya go: usb-creator-gtk and usb-creator-common
[18:00] <w30> blackcatnekonegr, see if synaptic has that
[18:01] <blackcatnekonegr> please stop
[18:03] <w30> this makes a bootable flash drive out of a linux iso. What is it that you want?
[18:03] <blackcatnekonegr> yes
[18:05] <w30> usb-creator is a .deb package so maybe it would install on Ubuntu 10.10\
[18:06] <blackcatnekonegr> as I said, please stop
[18:07] <w30> blackcatnekonegr, gladly done
[18:08] <blackcatnekonegr> thanks
[18:08] <blackcatnekonegr> will come back later to say if it worked
[18:09] <blackcatnekonegr> bye
[18:09]  * w30 grrrr..............
[18:11] <lxdevm> he was asking the same on #ubuntu
[21:21] <socratesxd> ehh
[21:21] <socratesxd> what about the spanish channel?
[21:22] <socratesxd> is there any?
[21:25] <bioterror> make one
[21:27] <socratesxd> no
[21:27] <Unit193> #lubuntu-es 2
[21:27] <socratesxd> no no
[21:27] <socratesxd> i don't want
[21:27] <Unit193> There are two people in there, don't know anything about it
[21:28] <socratesxd> its me
[21:28] <socratesxd> and ChanServ
[21:28] <socratesxd> anyway...
[21:28] <socratesxd> who has a beautiful eyecandied desktop?
[21:29] <socratesxd> i want to see one...
[21:32] <bioterror> socratesxd, me ofcourse! http://ricecows.org/blaergggghhh.png
[21:35] <Unit193> bioterror! :P
[21:35] <bioterror> ;)
[21:37] <socratesxd> :P
[21:39] <Unit193> Does this count anyway? http://ubuntuone.com/p/17xT/
[21:40] <Unit193> (That's not my desktop or name, just a random VBox test)
[21:41] <socratesxd> the composite
[21:41] <socratesxd> how did you activate it?
[21:41] <socratesxd> how did you enable it?
[21:41] <bioterror> where's transparency?
[21:41] <Unit193> That's going to be the next version of Lubuntu (Not ready yet)
[21:41] <bioterror> I would probably use cairo-composite
[21:42] <bioterror> xcompmgr is not that great, to be quite honest
[21:42] <Unit193> Compiz ;)
[21:42] <socratesxd> i think that its the default desktop when you install the os, Unit193
[21:42] <socratesxd> am i right?
[21:43] <socratesxd> it's cool
[21:44] <Unit193> Aye, our artwork guy does well
[21:44] <socratesxd> i like your desktop, bioterror
[21:45] <bioterror> I like it too
[21:45] <bioterror> thanks ;)
[21:46] <bioterror> damn
[21:51] <LostMyNas> bioterror: your desktop is to dark.. (but it lookks good)
[21:53] <socratesxd> well, but talk to me about the composite
[21:53] <socratesxd> has you been used xfce?
[21:54] <socratesxd> i want shadows and transparency
[21:54] <socratesxd> and i want a dock too
[21:54] <socratesxd> :D
[21:55] <bioterror> you're so demanding
[21:55] <bioterror> install cairo-dock, cairo-compositing
[21:55] <socratesxd> hmm
[21:56] <socratesxd> cairo-dock...
[21:56] <socratesxd> i wanted docky, but anyway
[21:56] <bioterror> as you wish
[21:56] <socratesxd> but, cairo-compositing allows to configure it?
[22:02] <bioterror> you can install dmenu if you want :D
[22:06] <socratesxd> ...
[22:06] <socratesxd> well, i will
[22:06] <socratesxd> but when the download finish
[22:06] <bioterror> https://sites.google.com/site/petertynan/dmenu-160408.jpg :D
[22:07] <bioterror> good night
[22:07] <socratesxd> not even i've installed it ;P
[23:08] <w30> I need the lpr command; what should I install in Lubuntu 11.04?
