[00:01] was was the limit for ext2? [00:01] size I mean [00:05] ok gonna reset now [00:08] Well, it works... ok [00:09] anyone knows a way to find out if I have any errors with the driver? [00:11] 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. [00:12] phillw, I just want a quick terminal command, to see if my video driver is having any errors [00:12] phillw, so far is working ok at least [00:13] lubuntu20dash: ask on #ubuntu-beginners, one of those people may have a Nvid card [00:13] and, yes, you are allowed on there! and even say you are a lubuntu user :P [00:14] the other day they have me the command here, but I dont have the log cause this is a different computer === daker__ is now known as daker [00:37] here is the pastebin of my os info http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/658326/ [00:37] how can I install supertux2? I need it to see if the 3D acelation of the card works [00:37] *aceleration [00:43] lubuntu20dash: it says 2D ? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man6/supertux2.6.html [00:43] supertux2 can use 3d aceleration [00:45] lubuntu20dash: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478928 ? [00:46] anyway, if supertux2 works bad, it means you card cant use 3d acelation, thats why I want to install it [00:47] phillw, I need supertux2, not supertux [00:47] anyway I will reset now [00:48] this is the best I have got the video card to work in ages anyway [00:48] bbye [01:00] back [01:00] so lubuntu can use openoffice writer, right? [01:02] This doc is read-only because there are too many people editing right now [01:02] wow [01:03] lately a lot of fics in ED are getting that "Too many readers" stuff [01:40] just put lubuntu on my acer aspire one fast [04:58] what is the name of the Remote desktop thing, i cant seem to find it in lubuntu [04:59] lubun: to remote into a Windows machine? rdesktop [04:59] I don't remember if it is in Lubuntu by default... [04:59] jmarsden: lubuntu into lubuntu machine [05:00] I can't see anything in my 11.10 VM for remote desktop [05:00] Remmina is the client x11vnc is the server [05:00] we prefer ssh! ;) [05:01] 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? [05:02] 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. [05:03] VINO?? [05:03] 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] I think Vino is a GNOME thing that doesn't come with Lubuntu. [05:04] the work network admins? i own the place so i dont need permission if thats what your asking [05:05] OK... so what level of network security do *you* think is adequate for your work environment? [05:05] umm... idk, never thought about that, kind of a noob [05:06] If you are about to poke holes in your work network firewall, you *need* to think about that :) [05:07] 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] jmarsden wants you to use ssh tunnel for your remote desktop, and probably would recommend to use knock too with keys ;) [05:07] Reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC will give you some idea of the general Ubuntu approach to VNC over SSH... [05:07] let me go do research then... [05:07] oh ok thnx [05:08] damn, I wasnt far from that :D [05:08] lubun: You're welcome. [05:10] :/ im already scratching my head but ill read on [05:21] 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. [05:22] i'll look at it too [05:22] thnx jmarsden [05:23] You're welcome. === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [12:06] ... [12:07] i don't have a bootsplash [12:07] just a blank screen [12:07] how can i enable it? [12:12] hmm, should have one by default. [12:12] i think. [12:12] socratesxd: I think you have turned it off in the grub config file [12:12] i never sit and watch my pc/laptop while it boots [12:13] ... [12:13] socratesxd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#GRUB 2 Splash Images covers all the things you can do with splash :) [12:13] lubuntu has plyomouth, right? [12:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#GRUB%202%20Splash%20Images [12:15] has lubuntu grub2? [12:15] i not even see it at boot [12:15] socratesxd: yes, lubuntu uses grub2 :) [12:16] no no [12:16] i don't a splash image for grub2 [12:16] i don't want a splash image for grub2 [12:17] i want a bootsplash for lubuntu [12:18] looking at the default grub (i've not modified mine) splash is enabled by default [12:18] 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] socratesxd: have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1669934 [12:21] plymouth-theme-lubuntu [12:21] but that's already installed [12:22] 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 [12:23] how? [12:23] hold on [12:24] no, how to disable the splash screen [12:24] sudo nano /etc/default/grub [12:24] yeah, i know.. i was looking for [12:24] it [12:25] well... and now [12:25] hmm, wait, that may not be it. [12:25] socratesxd: are you using 11.04? [12:25] yes [12:26] yeah, what i was thinking wouldn't work... [12:26] i'll try to change the plymouth theme to text mode [12:26] to see... [12:26] yup, if it won't display text mode, then it's a plymouth issue [12:26] but can you remind me how? [12:27] i don't mess w/ plymouth, sorry [12:28] 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 [12:30] 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 :) [12:31] i'll see [12:31] following the instructions of debian, i can't do it [12:31] ubuntugeek has always posted up decent stuff, so it's deffo worth a try. [12:37] well... [12:37] i try to change the theme [12:38] but i don't know how to enable the text mode [12:38] socratesxd: soz, just got it installed (slow internet) - I'd suggest 'disable plymouth' to turn it off? [12:38] what is your video card? [12:39] S3 ProSavage DDR [12:39] .. [12:39] a bullshit [12:39] is it using a propietary driver? [12:39] no [12:40] try disabling plymouth and see what happens when you boot. [12:40] i will [12:40] i just see the button :P [12:42] ok, i'll reboot [12:45] it didn't works [12:45] it seems plymouth is broken [12:51] 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] i suspected it was the video card. [12:52] but... [12:52] my sisters pc does that (some ancient thing)... [12:52] but what? [12:52] few weeks ago i had xubuntu 11.04 [12:52] socratesxd: try putting 10.04 onto it. [12:53] and it worked [12:53] hmm [12:53] and 10.04 works too [12:53] 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] socratesxd: Lubuntu 10.04? [12:53] no, ubuntu [12:53] ok, he was ssaying Lubuntu 10.04, i do believe [12:54] however, why are you so concerned abou ta splash screen [12:54] no... [12:54] i just have wish to ask here :P [12:54] xD [12:54] i'm joking [12:54] that's fine, just can't see why this would be such a big deal [12:55] at least i can joking to my friends [12:56] "My pc is so fast that you can't see the bootsplash" [12:56] xD [12:58] now, i have another cuestion [12:58] ehh... [12:58] a composite manager [12:58] do you know any? [12:58] seriously?... on Lubuntu? [12:59] i've installed xcompmgr but i don't know how to config it [12:59] i want translucency [12:59] and shadows on the borders [13:08] anyone knows about a composite manager in lxde? [13:09] 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] hmmm [13:10] no, i want to use a dock [13:10] you don't need to use compositing to use a dock [13:10] (i'm not trolling) :P [13:10] * KM0201 is beginning to wonder [13:10] with cairo-dock [13:10] .. [13:10] i need composite [14:43] jmarsden: I found your work on bug 750836 if you want to get these changes into Ubuntu you have to get someone [14:43] Error: Launchpad bug 750836 could not be found [14:44] with commit rights to see your stuff, you can do that by subscribing ubuntu-sponsors to your bug [14:45] 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] but I think it makes the changes a lot easier to review [14:48] which is basically the final section in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix [17:18] 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.
