[01:13] <KM0201> 0
[01:13] <KM0201> hmm, guess he didn't wanna hang out w/ us
[01:34] <phillw> KM0201: you cannot get them all :)
[01:34] <KM0201> lol
[01:35] <phillw> if you pop onto offtopic.. I have a link for you
[01:35] <KM0201> i'm there
[01:36] <KM0201> phillw: ?
[01:58] <socratesxd> hey i just have a problem
[01:58] <socratesxd> i tried to use another music player
[01:58] <socratesxd> exaile
[01:58] <socratesxd> but i get an error
[01:59] <socratesxd> The configured audiosink bin1 isn't working.
[01:59] <socratesxd> Audacious works well
[01:59] <socratesxd> but i want exaile
[02:00] <socratesxd> can someone here help me?
[02:00] <phillw> socratesxd: if you are not using the music player that we use, then you need to get help from them!
[02:00] <socratesxd> ...
[02:02] <socratesxd> come on
[02:02] <socratesxd> can anyone help me?
[02:02] <KM0201> hm
[05:19] <lubuntu20dash> hello, how I install the spellchecker in writer?
[07:35] <jita> Somehow i have altered the configuration of my bash profile, how do i revert back to default settings without reinstalling lubuntu ?
[07:35] <bioterror> which file did you edit?
[07:36] <jita> i guess .bashrc
[07:36] <jita> did not mess with global settings
[07:36] <bioterror> if you have .bashrc, it will be used instead of /etc/bash.bashrc
[07:37] <jita> I even tried deleting .bashrc but i did not get the default lubuntu color theme for lxterminal
[07:37] <bioterror> that has nothing to do with lxterminal
[07:37] <bioterror> bash is as hell
[07:37] <bioterror> shell
[07:38] <bioterror> I'm at work and I dont have lubuntu machine near me, but you should remove .config/lxterminal or .lxterminal
[07:38] <bioterror> I think those are the places where it holds the configuration files
[11:46] <jita> i am a python programmer, and i am going to install the fresh copy of lubuntu, should i go with alpha 3 version ?
[11:46] <jita> Should all the libraries of python be ported to linux 3 kernel ?
[11:52] <KM0201> jita: if you're not experienced in dealing w/ Linux probs, just install the current stable (11.04)
[11:53] <KM0201> being a programmer, has nothing to do w/ it.
[12:18] <bioterror> KM0201, according to this morning, he should use 10.04 :D
[12:19] <KM0201> bioterror: this morning?
[12:19] <bioterror> he changed lxterminals settings and was talking about bash
[12:19] <KM0201> i ddnt see anything about that, but.. why would that have a bearing on using 10.04 or 11.04?
[12:20] <bioterror> ;)
[12:20] <KM0201> the point still stands, using a beta when you're not experienced w/ linux probs, using a beta is generally a bad idea.
[12:20] <KM0201> unless you're suggesting he was using this for a sever.
[12:21] <KM0201> i'll LTS my file server when 12.04 comes out.
[12:21] <KM0201> otherwise its easy to just reinstall the few things i need
[13:53] <faint545> anyone know how to change the font color of the digital clock in Lubuntu 11.04?
[13:55] <faint545> ?
[13:56] <morri> I don't
[13:56] <morri> but I don't want to change it anyway so i have never tried
[13:56] <morri> maybe in the desktop settings
[13:58] <faint545> ive tried everywhere.
[13:58] <KM0201> hmm
[13:58] <KM0201> i saw that somewhere
[13:59] <faint545> i saw this: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?t=88&f=8 but it doesnt match up to what i have..
[13:59] <faint545> shoot, nvm lol
[14:00] <KM0201> ?
[14:00] <faint545> right click on panel > Panel Settings > Appearence > Font
[14:00] <KM0201> hehe
[14:00] <KM0201> i knew i'd saw that somewhere.
[14:05] <phillw> faint545: thanks for that... I do recall it being asked before. I'll pop it onto the FAQ section :)
[14:06] <faint545> phillw, glad i could help
[14:08] <phillw> ahh... close, it was the font size they wanted to alter :/
[14:16] <jita> why do i get message 'there were packges automatically installed and no longer required, do auto-remove' but when i do auto-remove the screen becomes blank when i shutdown the pc
[14:16] <jita> i get this message after clean install of lubuntu 11.04
[14:18] <KM0201> phillw: do you know how to disable bluetooth from command line?.. ive' got a machine freezing there on boot (nothing is plugged in at the moment), i can ssh into the machine though.
[14:20] <phillw> jita: when I shutdown my pc, my screen also goes blank (along with the fan stopping). Do you mean that when you attempt to use shutdown the computer locks up, or that it does turn off?
[14:22] <jita> phillw: it does shutdown, but the screen becomes blank or filled with green lines for few seconds before it shuts down
[14:23] <phillw> KM0201: have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9017592&postcount=5
[14:26] <phillw> jita: sounds to me a splash issue, as I do not hang around whilst start up and close down 'pretty pictures' appear... I'll have a play with my VM and pay attention to it on a shutdown.
[14:26] <KM0201> phillw: i just ssh'd it and uninstalled bluetooth all together (she dooesn't even have a bluetooth device).. now it's hanging at ntp (which im' pretty sure if the clock protocol).. something's not right, i'm about to start checking logs.
[14:26] <jita> phillw: are you using virtualbox ?
[14:27] <phillw> jita: i use the oracle thinggie :)
[14:27] <jita> phillw: that splash issue could be solved by not performing auto-remove after the installation
[14:27] <phillw> it is the only way I can run all the variants of lubuntu at the same time :)
[14:28] <jita> phillw: what other variants you use ?
[14:28] <phillw> I have 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 available :)
[14:28] <jita> lol and why would you do that ?
[14:29] <KM0201> well this is weird, evvery single log file is dead empty
[14:29] <phillw> jita: because people use them and each release is subtly different from the other. (10.04 is the last release to support old chip-sets, for example)
[14:30] <jita> phillw: are you lubuntu maintainer ?
[14:31] <phillw> jita: no, just a docs / wiki person. The devs are gentle with me :)
[14:32] <phillw> KM0201: for a mis behaving system... hive off the /home onto its own partition (as everyone should) and just do a reinstall. It will work out faster than chasing around an unhappy system.
[14:33] <KM0201> that'll be a pain though.
[14:33] <KM0201> i never put /home ona  separate partition..lol
[14:34] <KM0201> what I dont' understand.. when /hoome is ano another partition, how does the OS know to use it?.. because home is under /home/username?
[14:35] <KM0201> i guss i could try it, first time for everything
[14:35] <phillw> KM0201: There is a train of thought that instead of the installer asking 'do you want to make /home encrypted?' it should say... 'do you want a seperate /home area for when you mess up?'
[14:35] <KM0201> probably a good idea,
[14:35] <KM0201> problem is, i don't know how big to make home for her, etc..
[14:35] <jita> KM0201: the benefit of havinf a separate /home partition is when you have to reinstall the OS, you dont loose your data or have to move it to another place before formatting
[14:35] <KM0201> because she has all her music there, etc.
[14:36] <phillw> KM0201: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[14:36] <jita> phillw: how is 11.10 ? Is it usable ? the alpha 3 one
[14:36] <phillw> KM0201: the root system needs a couple of GB... make /home as big as you can :P
[14:36] <KM0201> hmm
[14:37] <jita> phillw: is it still using the same graphical theme ?
[14:37] <phillw> jita: I've been running it since 1st release... the dev releases these days are pretty solid.
[14:38] <jita> phillw: any significant difference you experienced from 11.04 ?
[14:38] <KM0201> thiis is gonna be a nightmare
[14:38] <KM0201> its strange, cuz it worked fine yesterday
[14:39] <phillw> jita: there is not an alternate iso out yet, as we move from 'in house' building to the official system there is quite a lot of work for our Head of Dev to do.
[14:39] <KM0201> only thing i done, was ssh'd into it and ran system updates
[14:40] <phillw> KM0201: I update my versions daily - I have not had any issues.
[14:40] <KM0201> phillw: i've got 2 systems here, completely up to date, no problems
[14:40] <KM0201> just trying to figure out what would have caused this, thats all.
[14:41] <phillw> KM0201: it is possibly a regression, these things do happen
[14:41] <phillw> but if there are no logs for why it is complaining I'm pretty stuck as to how to advise you.
[14:43] <KM0201> phillw: yup, every single log file is dead empty
[14:47] <KM0201> man.. id like to know what the heck happened
[14:47] <KM0201> makes no sense...
[14:49] <phillw> KM0201: do you have physical access to the computer?
[14:49] <KM0201> yeah
[14:50] <phillw> catch it at grub, and get to boot into safe mode
[14:50] <KM0201> did that.
[14:50] <phillw> does it boot okay?
[14:50] <KM0201> no
[14:50] <KM0201> hangs at the same spot.
[14:50] <KM0201> lemme check it again
[14:54] <KM0201> yeah, same thing
[14:56] <phillw> KM0201: the only thing I can think of if it is not booting is a corruption on the file system. Can you boot into an earlier kernel?
[14:56] <KM0201> tried that, no joy, same thing
[14:56] <KM0201> i ran a filesystem check on it, it passed
[14:56] <KM0201> brb.
[15:30] <KM0201> man, wha ta riddle.
[15:32] <phillw> KM0201: if still no joy, I'd use a liveCD to ensure it is not a hardware failure.
[15:33] <KM0201> phillw: thats what i'm doing now..
[15:33] <KM0201> everything checks out..
[15:33] <KM0201> this just makes no sense.
[15:37] <KM0201> oh well, i'm gonna reinstall.
[15:37] <KM0201> my 30min rule has been implemented
[15:37] <KM0201> lol
[15:38] <KM0201> i just setup my laptop as a share and backed up home to my laptop, so i'll move all her crap back after i reinstall.
[15:44] <phillw> KM0201: indeed, we can spend hours chasing phantoms.. when you do the re-install, make time to add a /home partition!
[15:47] <KM0201> phillw: meh, no big deal... i just did a reinstall like i normally do..lol
[15:48] <KM0201> phillw: whats that alternative login screen, that lets you "click" a username/
[15:48] <phillw> KM0201: just get used to manually allocating and make a /home partition
[15:48] <KM0201> that'll be the problem, cuz everyone in that house is to braindead to remember a username..lol
[15:48] <KM0201> autologin, is unfortunately not an option.
[15:50] <KM0201> Unit193: is the one who told me about it, maybe he's around
[15:51] <phillw> you can go into users and set it to not ask for password
[15:51] <KM0201> i know, but.. unfortunately thats not an option.
[15:51] <phillw> I've seen issues about auto-login
[15:51] <KM0201> i wonder, could i use the gdm login screen, w/ lubuntu?
[15:52] <phillw> KM0201: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1472113
[15:53] <KM0201> no no, i know "HOW" to set auto login
[15:53] <KM0201> it's not an option for that family (little kids tha tneed supervised on the machine)
[15:54] <KM0201> there's another login window i used... that unit told me about, but i can't remember the name of it.
[15:54] <KM0201> i'm wondering how difficult it would be to use gdm.
[15:55] <phillw> KM0201: depends how many of the Gnome family & dependants it wishes to smuggle in as well ;)
[15:55] <KM0201> i don't care about that.
[15:55] <phillw> you will when the computer runs as fast as a slug through treacle!
[15:55] <KM0201> LightDM! thats it
[15:55] <phillw> lightDM will be in 11.10 :D
[15:56] <KM0201> yeah
[15:56] <KM0201> but this machine is 11.04.. :)
[15:56] <phillw> just as well, as LightDM is not in the alpha 3 :P
[15:56] <KM0201> lol
[15:59]  * Talu waves to all "Does anyone know how to change cpu fsb frequency with the CPUFreq frontend applet or if it's supposed to be able to?
[15:59] <KM0201> o/
[15:59] <Talu> o7
[16:01] <KM0201> hmm, thats a good one, nevver saw that!
[16:01] <KM0201> lol
[16:01] <KM0201> i looksl ike you're throwing up a gang sign though...lol
[16:01] <KM0201> unfortunately though, i don't know the answre to your quesiton
[16:01] <Talu> Oh, no it's a salute
[16:02] <KM0201> lol, i know.
[16:02] <Talu> Not a problem, appreciate the thought regardless :)
[16:03] <Talu> Also, seems the battery monitor at least on my dell 910, has the Zorin OS4 ever estimating bug, not sure if I should launch pad it
[16:03] <Talu> Still, the speed is great ^^
[16:03] <KM0201> hmm, i dunno, i don't do battery monitors
[16:05] <Talu> So, what do you do out of interest ?
[16:09] <KM0201> what do i do?
[16:10] <Talu> As in, Distro stuff
[16:11] <KM0201> oh, just basic home user, nothing fancy... music, movies, internet, etc.
[16:11] <KM0201> phillw: u around?.. you might wanna rethhink what you were saying about sdahsu
[16:11] <Talu> Ah, yeah same for the most part, been trying to find the best netbook type release for years since they discontinued my old fav Karmic
[16:12] <KM0201> lol
[16:12] <Talu> Well, feels like years x3
[17:18] <KM0201> man this is gonna drivec me crrrazy.
[17:58] <socratesxd> somebody can help me?
[17:58] <socratesxd> i want to use other music player
[17:59] <phillw> socratesxd: then just install it :)
[17:59] <socratesxd> i've test exaile, rythmbox, bansheee...
[17:59] <socratesxd> (banshee is bad :p)
[17:59] <socratesxd> but i get the same error
[17:59] <socratesxd> The configured audiosink bin1 isn't working.
[18:10] <KM0201> hmm.
[18:10] <KM0201> never heard that ojne before.
[18:11] <KM0201> socratesxd: what audio player works?
[18:11] <socratesxd> well... audacious works well
[18:12] <KM0201> is that the exact error you get
[18:13] <socratesxd> ?
[18:14] <socratesxd> that means that i have to use audacious
[18:14] <socratesxd> ?
[18:14] <KM0201> iunderstand that
[18:14] <socratesxd> :(
[18:14] <KM0201> "the configured audiosink bin1 isn't working".. is that the exact error you get, or are you paraphrasing?
[18:14] <socratesxd> yes
[18:14] <socratesxd> that's what exaile said
[18:16] <KM0201> what version of Lubuntu are you using?
[18:17] <KM0201> socratesxd: ?
[18:17] <socratesxd> 11.04
[18:18] <KM0201> ok, open sybaptic package manager
[18:18] <socratesxd> is already open
[18:18] <KM0201> do a search for "gstreamer"
[18:19] <socratesxd> ok, and now?
[18:19] <KM0201> you should have a fairly extensive list of returns, go through, and find "gstreamer0.10-alsa"
[18:19] <socratesxd> i found it
[18:19] <KM0201> right click, choose "mark for installation"
[18:20] <socratesxd> done
[18:20] <KM0201> don't hit apply yet
[18:20] <socratesxd> ok
[18:20] <KM0201> look and see if "gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg" is installed
[18:20] <KM0201> if not, mark it to be installed
[18:20] <socratesxd> it's installed
[18:20] <KM0201> then do the same for... gstreamer0.10--plugins-bad   and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[18:21] <socratesxd> done
[18:21] <KM0201> now restart
[18:21] <socratesxd> what?
[18:21] <KM0201> actually
[18:22] <KM0201> wait
[18:22] <socratesxd> but i have to install it first
[18:22] <socratesxd> but i have to install them first
[18:22] <KM0201> ok
[18:22] <KM0201> wait.
[18:22] <KM0201> also look for these two packages....
[18:22] <KM0201> gstreamer0.10-esd
[18:22] <KM0201> gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
[18:22] <socratesxd> ok
[18:23] <KM0201> after youv'e got all those marked, install them
[18:23] <KM0201> then restart
[18:23] <socratesxd> lot of thanks!
[18:23] <KM0201> ok, this *may not work*..
[18:23] <KM0201> if it doesn't, come back here, i've got one more thing to try
[18:28] <socratesxd> lot of thanks! KM0201
[18:28] <socratesxd> it works!
[18:28] <socratesxd> thanks!
[18:28] <KM0201> great'
[18:29] <socratesxd> someone here use conky?
[18:29] <KM0201> i;ve never used conky.. you're on your own there
[23:52] <faint545> anyone know how i can modify the lubuntu-default widget?
