| lubuntu20dash | was was the limit for ext2? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| lubuntu20dash | size I mean | 00:01 |
| lubuntu20dash | ok gonna reset now | 00:05 |
| lubuntu20dash | Well, it works... ok | 00:08 |
| lubuntu20dash | anyone knows a way to find out if I have any errors with the driver? | 00:09 |
| phillw | lubuntu20dash: have a quick look at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=332 If you are going to post a request, please put as much info as possible and use the Lubuntu tag, so they know you are using Lubuntu. | 00:11 |
| lubuntu20dash | phillw, I just want a quick terminal command, to see if my video driver is having any errors | 00:12 |
| lubuntu20dash | phillw, so far is working ok at least | 00:12 |
| phillw | lubuntu20dash: ask on #ubuntu-beginners, one of those people may have a Nvid card | 00:13 |
| phillw | and, yes, you are allowed on there! and even say you are a lubuntu user :P | 00:13 |
| lubuntu20dash | the other day they have me the command here, but I dont have the log cause this is a different computer | 00:14 |

| lubuntu20dash | here is the pastebin of my os info http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/658326/ | 00:37 |
| lubuntu20dash | how can I install supertux2? I need it to see if the 3D acelation of the card works | 00:37 |
| lubuntu20dash | *aceleration | 00:37 |
| phillw | lubuntu20dash: it says 2D ? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man6/supertux2.6.html | 00:43 |
| lubuntu20dash | supertux2 can use 3d aceleration | 00:43 |
| phillw | lubuntu20dash: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478928 ? | 00:45 |
| lubuntu20dash | anyway, if supertux2 works bad, it means you card cant use 3d acelation, thats why I want to install it | 00:46 |
| lubuntu20dash | phillw, I need supertux2, not supertux | 00:47 |
| lubuntu20dash | anyway I will reset now | 00:47 |
| lubuntu20dash | this is the best I have got the video card to work in ages anyway | 00:48 |
| lubuntu20dash | bbye | 00:48 |
| lubuntu20dash | back | 01:00 |
| lubuntu20dash | so lubuntu can use openoffice writer, right? | 01:00 |
| lubuntu20dash | This doc is read-only because there are too many people editing right now | 01:02 |
| lubuntu20dash | wow | 01:02 |
| lubuntu20dash | lately a lot of fics in ED are getting that "Too many readers" stuff | 01:03 |
| linuxman410 | just put lubuntu on my acer aspire one fast | 01:40 |
| lubun | what is the name of the Remote desktop thing, i cant seem to find it in lubuntu | 04:58 |
| jmarsden | lubun: to remote into a Windows machine? rdesktop | 04:59 |
| jmarsden | I don't remember if it is in Lubuntu by default... | 04:59 |
| lubun | jmarsden: lubuntu into lubuntu machine | 04:59 |
| head_victim | I can't see anything in my 11.10 VM for remote desktop | 05:00 |
| Unit193 | Remmina is the client x11vnc is the server | 05:00 |
| bioterror | we prefer ssh! ;) | 05:00 |
| jmarsden | lubun: There are plenty of ways of doing Lubuntu to Lubuntu remote usage... none of which are called Remote Desktop :) Are you looking for VNC? Or X over SSH? | 05:01 |
| lubun | idk, i think it was vnc for ubuntu, but not sure, i want to log into my lubuntu machine at work when im at home. | 05:02 |
| lubun | VINO?? | 05:03 |
| jmarsden | Do you already have SSH from home to the work machine? VNC alone is relatively insecure... what will the work network admins let you do? | 05:03 |
| jmarsden | I think Vino is a GNOME thing that doesn't come with Lubuntu. | 05:03 |
| lubun | the work network admins? i own the place so i dont need permission if thats what your asking | 05:04 |
| jmarsden | OK... so what level of network security do *you* think is adequate for your work environment? | 05:05 |
| lubun | umm... idk, never thought about that, kind of a noob | 05:05 |
| jmarsden | If you are about to poke holes in your work network firewall, you *need* to think about that :) | 05:06 |
| lubun | i dont have anything too valuable, that particular machine doesnt have anything too crucial, except maybe my html files for my website, and i guess i log into my bank account through that computer... | 05:07 |
| bioterror | jmarsden wants you to use ssh tunnel for your remote desktop, and probably would recommend to use knock too with keys ;) | 05:07 |
| jmarsden | Reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC will give you some idea of the general Ubuntu approach to VNC over SSH... | 05:07 |
| lubun | let me go do research then... | 05:07 |
| lubun | oh ok thnx | 05:07 |
| bioterror | damn, I wasnt far from that :D | 05:08 |
| jmarsden | lubun: You're welcome. | 05:08 |
| lubun | :/ im already scratching my head but ill read on | 05:10 |
| jmarsden | lubun: I just remembered I wrote something up about doing this with Vino specificaly in Lubuntu... see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/RemoteDesktop for that. | 05:21 |
| lubun | i'll look at it too | 05:22 |
| lubun | thnx jmarsden | 05:22 |
| jmarsden | You're welcome. | 05:23 |

| socratesxd | ... | 12:06 |
| socratesxd | i don't have a bootsplash | 12:07 |
| socratesxd | just a blank screen | 12:07 |
| socratesxd | how can i enable it? | 12:07 |
| KM0201 | hmm, should have one by default. | 12:12 |
| KM0201 | i think. | 12:12 |
| phillw | socratesxd: I think you have turned it off in the grub config file | 12:12 |
| KM0201 | i never sit and watch my pc/laptop while it boots | 12:12 |
| socratesxd | ... | 12:13 |
| phillw | socratesxd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#GRUB 2 Splash Images covers all the things you can do with splash :) | 12:13 |
| socratesxd | lubuntu has plyomouth, right? | 12:13 |
| phillw | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#GRUB%202%20Splash%20Images | 12:13 |
| socratesxd | has lubuntu grub2? | 12:15 |
| socratesxd | i not even see it at boot | 12:15 |
| phillw | socratesxd: yes, lubuntu uses grub2 :) | 12:15 |
| socratesxd | no no | 12:16 |
| socratesxd | i don't a splash image for grub2 | 12:16 |
| socratesxd | i don't want a splash image for grub2 | 12:16 |
| socratesxd | i want a bootsplash for lubuntu | 12:17 |
| KM0201 | looking at the default grub (i've not modified mine) splash is enabled by default | 12:18 |
| KM0201 | socratesxd: i'm guessing, for whatever reason, your video card isn't "running' at that part of the boot process (my sisters PC does this)... | 12:18 |
| phillw | socratesxd: have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1669934 | 12:18 |
| socratesxd | plymouth-theme-lubuntu | 12:21 |
| socratesxd | but that's already installed | 12:21 |
| KM0201 | socratesxd: try "disabling" the splash screen, and see if you get scrolling text, i'm guessing if your screen is just black, its your video card, not the OS configuration | 12:22 |
| socratesxd | how? | 12:23 |
| KM0201 | hold on | 12:23 |
| socratesxd | no, how to disable the splash screen | 12:24 |
| KM0201 | sudo nano /etc/default/grub | 12:24 |
| KM0201 | yeah, i know.. i was looking for | 12:24 |
| KM0201 | it | 12:24 |
| socratesxd | well... and now | 12:25 |
| KM0201 | hmm, wait, that may not be it. | 12:25 |
| phillw | socratesxd: are you using 11.04? | 12:25 |
| socratesxd | yes | 12:25 |
| KM0201 | yeah, what i was thinking wouldn't work... | 12:26 |
| socratesxd | i'll try to change the plymouth theme to text mode | 12:26 |
| socratesxd | to see... | 12:26 |
| KM0201 | yup, if it won't display text mode, then it's a plymouth issue | 12:26 |
| socratesxd | but can you remind me how? | 12:26 |
| KM0201 | i don't mess w/ plymouth, sorry | 12:27 |
| phillw | I have (in synaptics) plymouth, plymouth-theme-lubuntu-logo, plymouth-theme-lubuntu-text, plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text and libplymouth2 installed on my 11.04 | 12:28 |
| phillw | socratesxd: I think http://www.ubuntugeek.com/plymouth-manager-gui-tool-to-change-boot-theme-and-resolution.html may be of help to you, it is a GUI for 'playing' with plymouth :) | 12:30 |
| socratesxd | i'll see | 12:31 |
| socratesxd | following the instructions of debian, i can't do it | 12:31 |
| phillw | ubuntugeek has always posted up decent stuff, so it's deffo worth a try. | 12:31 |
| socratesxd | well... | 12:37 |
| socratesxd | i try to change the theme | 12:37 |
| socratesxd | but i don't know how to enable the text mode | 12:38 |
| phillw | socratesxd: soz, just got it installed (slow internet) - I'd suggest 'disable plymouth' to turn it off? | 12:38 |
| phillw | what is your video card? | 12:38 |
| socratesxd | S3 ProSavage DDR | 12:39 |
| KM0201 | .. | 12:39 |
| socratesxd | a bullshit | 12:39 |
| phillw | is it using a propietary driver? | 12:39 |
| socratesxd | no | 12:39 |
| phillw | try disabling plymouth and see what happens when you boot. | 12:40 |
| socratesxd | i will | 12:40 |
| socratesxd | i just see the button :P | 12:40 |
| socratesxd | ok, i'll reboot | 12:42 |
| socratesxd | it didn't works | 12:45 |
| socratesxd | it seems plymouth is broken | 12:45 |
| phillw | the only thing I can really dig out is a report saying that 11.04 ubuntu and that card do not work. Sorry I am out of ideas. Try asking on the main forum (use the lubuntu tag) and / or mailing list. | 12:51 |
| KM0201 | i suspected it was the video card. | 12:51 |
| socratesxd | but... | 12:52 |
| KM0201 | my sisters pc does that (some ancient thing)... | 12:52 |
| KM0201 | but what? | 12:52 |
| socratesxd | few weeks ago i had xubuntu 11.04 | 12:52 |
| phillw | socratesxd: try putting 10.04 onto it. | 12:52 |
| socratesxd | and it worked | 12:53 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 12:53 |
| socratesxd | and 10.04 works too | 12:53 |
| KM0201 | i dunno... i get a splash on my laptop and my pc "out fo the box".. my sisters doesn't, go for it. | 12:53 |
| KM0201 | socratesxd: Lubuntu 10.04? | 12:53 |
| socratesxd | no, ubuntu | 12:53 |
| KM0201 | ok, he was ssaying Lubuntu 10.04, i do believe | 12:53 |
| KM0201 | however, why are you so concerned abou ta splash screen | 12:54 |
| socratesxd | no... | 12:54 |
| socratesxd | i just have wish to ask here :P | 12:54 |
| socratesxd | xD | 12:54 |
| socratesxd | i'm joking | 12:54 |
| KM0201 | that's fine, just can't see why this would be such a big deal | 12:54 |
| socratesxd | at least i can joking to my friends | 12:55 |
| socratesxd | "My pc is so fast that you can't see the bootsplash" | 12:56 |
| socratesxd | xD | 12:56 |
| socratesxd | now, i have another cuestion | 12:58 |
| socratesxd | ehh... | 12:58 |
| socratesxd | a composite manager | 12:58 |
| socratesxd | do you know any? | 12:58 |
| KM0201 | seriously?... on Lubuntu? | 12:58 |
| socratesxd | i've installed xcompmgr but i don't know how to config it | 12:59 |
| socratesxd | i want translucency | 12:59 |
| socratesxd | and shadows on the borders | 12:59 |
| socratesxd | anyone knows about a composite manager in lxde? | 13:08 |
| KM0201 | socratesxd: given the goals of Lubuntu (lightweight, fast, etc..) you're probably not gonna find to many people using a composite manager in lxde.. but thats just a guess | 13:09 |
| socratesxd | hmmm | 13:09 |
| socratesxd | no, i want to use a dock | 13:10 |
| KM0201 | you don't need to use compositing to use a dock | 13:10 |
| socratesxd | (i'm not trolling) :P | 13:10 |
| * KM0201 is beginning to wonder | 13:10 | |
| socratesxd | with cairo-dock | 13:10 |
| KM0201 | .. | 13:10 |
| socratesxd | i need composite | 13:10 |
| jbicha | jmarsden: I found your work on bug 750836 if you want to get these changes into Ubuntu you have to get someone | 14:43 |
| ubot5 | Error: Launchpad bug 750836 could not be found | 14:43 |
| jbicha | with commit rights to see your stuff, you can do that by subscribing ubuntu-sponsors to your bug | 14:44 |
| jbicha | personally, I post my bazaar branch and propose a merge too, I'm not sure if the Developers prefer that or can use a .dsc | 14:45 |
| jbicha | but I think it makes the changes a lot easier to review | 14:45 |
| jbicha | which is basically the final section in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix | 14:48 |
| Toonces | Hey guys, I'm getting a black screen on bootup when I use the nvidia-current drivers. I have an Nvidia GForce4 440 go. I've looked through the forums, but can't find an answer that will help me. I was hoping to get help here because I am partially not sure what to even ask. The black screen question has been asked many times. | 17:18 |
