[00:01] <lubuntu20dash> was was the limit for ext2?
[00:01] <lubuntu20dash> size I mean
[00:05] <lubuntu20dash> ok gonna reset now
[00:08] <lubuntu20dash> Well, it works... ok
[00:09] <lubuntu20dash> anyone knows a way to find out if I have any errors with the driver?
[00:11] <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.
[00:12] <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
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <lubuntu20dash> the other day they have me the command here, but I dont have the log cause this is a different computer
[00:37] <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
[00:43] <phillw> lubuntu20dash: it says 2D ?  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man6/supertux2.6.html
[00:43] <lubuntu20dash>  supertux2 can use 3d aceleration
[00:45] <phillw> lubuntu20dash: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478928 ?
[00:46] <lubuntu20dash> anyway, if supertux2 works bad, it means you card cant use 3d acelation, thats why I want to install it
[00:47] <lubuntu20dash> phillw, I need supertux2, not supertux
[00:47] <lubuntu20dash> anyway I will reset now
[00:48] <lubuntu20dash> this is the best I have got the video card to work in ages anyway
[00:48] <lubuntu20dash> bbye
[01:00] <lubuntu20dash> back
[01:00] <lubuntu20dash> so lubuntu can use openoffice writer, right?
[01:02] <lubuntu20dash> This doc is read-only because there are too many people editing right now
[01:02] <lubuntu20dash> wow
[01:03] <lubuntu20dash> lately a lot of fics in ED are getting that "Too many readers" stuff
[01:40] <linuxman410> just put lubuntu on my acer aspire one fast
[04:58] <lubun> what is the name of the Remote desktop thing, i cant seem to find it in lubuntu
[04:59] <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
[05:00] <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! ;)
[05:01] <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?
[05:02] <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.
[05:03] <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.
[05:04] <lubun> the work network admins? i own the place so i dont need permission if thats what your asking
[05:05] <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
[05:06] <jmarsden> If you are about to poke holes in your work network firewall, you *need* to think about that :)
[05:07] <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
[05:08] <bioterror> damn, I wasnt far from that :D
[05:08] <jmarsden> lubun: You're welcome.
[05:10] <lubun> :/ im already scratching my head but ill read on
[05:21] <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.
[05:22] <lubun> i'll look at it too
[05:22] <lubun> thnx jmarsden
[05:23] <jmarsden> You're welcome.
[12:06] <socratesxd> ...
[12:07] <socratesxd> i don't have a bootsplash
[12:07] <socratesxd> just a blank screen
[12:07] <socratesxd> how can i enable it?
[12:12] <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
[12:13] <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
[12:15] <socratesxd> has lubuntu grub2?
[12:15] <socratesxd> i not even see it at boot
[12:15] <phillw> socratesxd: yes, lubuntu uses grub2 :)
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <socratesxd> i want a bootsplash for lubuntu
[12:18] <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
[12:21] <socratesxd> plymouth-theme-lubuntu
[12:21] <socratesxd> but that's already installed
[12:22] <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
[12:23] <socratesxd> how?
[12:23] <KM0201> hold on
[12:24] <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
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <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?
[12:27] <KM0201> i don't mess w/ plymouth, sorry
[12:28] <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
[12:30] <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 :)
[12:31] <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.
[12:37] <socratesxd> well...
[12:37] <socratesxd> i try to change the theme
[12:38] <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?
[12:39] <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
[12:40] <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
[12:42] <socratesxd> ok, i'll reboot
[12:45] <socratesxd> it didn't works
[12:45] <socratesxd> it seems plymouth is broken
[12:51] <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.
[12:52] <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.
[12:53] <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
[12:54] <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
[12:55] <socratesxd> at least i can joking to my friends
[12:56] <socratesxd> "My pc is so fast that you can't see the bootsplash"
[12:56] <socratesxd> xD
[12:58] <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?
[12:59] <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
[13:08] <socratesxd> anyone knows about a composite manager in lxde?
[13:09] <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
[13:10] <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
[14:43] <jbicha> jmarsden: I found your work on bug 750836 if you want to get these changes into Ubuntu you have to get someone
[14:44] <jbicha> with commit rights to see your stuff, you can do that by subscribing ubuntu-sponsors to your bug
[14:45] <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
[14:48] <jbicha> which is basically the final section in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix
[17:18] <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.
