jmarsdenbhm: Trying again: Is your fresh VM install completed yet?00:25
bhm:-) its running its lubuntu updates...00:25
jmarsdenOK... did you try the ubuntuone stuff yet, or are you waiting for all the updates to happen first?00:26
bhmI'm waiting00:26
jmarsdenOK.00:27
=== szczur_ is now known as szczur
bhmThe latest update was quite a lengthy one. Have someone at Lubuntu thought of uploading an iso that includes the updates?00:36
bhm(It is the linux header 2.6.xxx update that takes alot of time)00:37
jmarsdenbhm: We are rather short handed... I am in the process of trying to create a 10.04.3 ISO image for those using the LTS... 11.10 will be out soon enough if you need the latest stuff...  "someone at Lubuntu"... who did you have in mind for that job? :)00:38
bhmSomeone handy :-)00:38
jmarsdenIf you can do it, go for it :)00:38
bhm:-)00:39
bhmWell I'm up for it. I think the work which have been done so far is amazing00:39
bhmthat being said, I'm a thorough user, not a programmer though.00:39
bhmif you have any links to guides for make iso's I'll be reading them in the morning...00:41
jmarsdenWell, if updates take you that long, I dread to think how long it would take you to download all the packages to create a local package repository for the Lubuntu ISO build script to work from...00:42
jmarsdenI wrote the script that builds the Lubuntu 11.04 ISO ... but the script *is* the documentation :)00:42
bhm:-) Well... if my i7-920 server wasn't doing homework this weekend it would be the one doing the work....00:43
jmarsdenIt's more bandwidth than CPU you'd want to grab the repo, but OK.  Let me find a pointer to the git repo for the script...00:43
bhmthanks00:44
jmarsdenbhm: OK, I can't find where the git repo for the tools are right now, but here is a copy of the build script: http://crosswire.org/~jmarsden/lubuntu-build.sh00:52
bhmU1 works now. Step 1: Fresh iso download >>> Step 2: Update using update manager >>> Step 3: install ubuntuone client.00:55
bhmresult from cmdline is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/671382/00:55
jmarsdenOK, good... well, I don't know what was wrong with the earlier VM you had, but at least it works now :)00:55
bhmYes... And one does always sleeps better upon success :-)00:57
jmarsdenbhm: Sounds like a good time for you to go to bed, then :)00:58
bhmWell 2AM...?00:58
jmarsdenYou seem to keep about the same hours my daughter does when on vacation :)00:59
bhmhihi... Well research work is best in the hours when no phone rings, no email pops up and other distractions are at a minimum01:00
bhmjmarsden: I've just been reading through your script and find it both very structured and apparently easy to read. I'll have a thorough look at its dependencies tomorrow and get back to your later. ok?01:13
jmarsdenSure... I'm not around on IRC as much on Sundays, but usually log the channel even when away from the keyboard.01:14
bhmok thanks - nite!01:15
jmarsdenGoodnight.01:15

BookmanHey folks, I'm trying to edit my grub menu.lst to fix a eeepc screen brightness bug and I don't seem to be able to find /boot/grub/menu.lst.  Has this all changed?03:11
Unit193We are now using grub203:12
Unit193!grub203:12
ubot5GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10)03:12
BookmanAh, beyond my experience!03:13

jmarsdenbignono1: phillw may be able to help with that, he uses a 3G wireless gadget... but I don't think he is around right now.07:58
bignono1i wait for him and any other good guy to help me07:59
sagacibignono1, have you tried running nm-applet?08:00
bignono1i tried but those dashes drove me crazy08:01
bignono1nm--applet or nm__applet or nm _ _applet?08:01
jmarsdenbignono1: Just one -    so the command is    nm-applet08:03
bignono1nm-applet --sm-disable?08:03
bignono1no sm-disable?08:03
jmarsdenI'm not sure... try it either way -- does it run?08:04
bignono1no08:04
sagaciwhat errors are you getting from the terminal08:05
bignono1command not found08:05
bignono1gcconftool will not work?08:05
bignono1this is lbuntu not a gnome wright?08:06
sagaciyeah, ubuntu and lubuntu use nm-applet08:06
bignono1but gconftool is only for gnome?08:07
bignono1man , every time i update i keep my bteaths08:08
sagacigconftoll is in lubuntu08:08

jmarsdenbignono1: It looks a little old, but see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei08:09
sagacibignono1, is it just the nm-applet missing from the top right, have you got sound, clock, etc?08:11

sagaciso you don't have nm-applet installed, by the sounds of it08:13

Fudgemm phillw ? how goes accessibility?09:23
resc_user_1864hi,11:24
resc_user_1864who made the last update for lubuntu_11:24
resc_user_1864?11:25
resc_user_1864I have major mess up now11:25
resc_user_1864no booting,11:25
pointedarrowhi11:57
pointedarrowhow do I do a fsck on a majorly trubled lubuntu11:59
pointedarrowI could get  nasty with the guy who launched the latest lubuntu update11:59
pointedarrowwho made the latest updated for lubuntu_12:11
pointedarrow?12:11
pointedarrowi could kill them12:12
pointedarrowhow to launc a fsck filechek_12:14
KM0201pointedarrow: whats wrong? my systems are up to date, and im' having no issues at all12:16
pointedarrowsomething is up with mine12:17
KM0201well, google "something is up with lubuntu".. i mean, that'll probably return a bajillion answers12:17
KM0201did you come here for a solution, or just to gripe?12:17
pointedarrowI boot up to this message on a black screen; Bash like line editing supported, something with grub, and press tab for commands12:18
KM0201that sounds like a grub problem12:18
pointedarrowI have tried reinstalling grub from rescatux live cd12:18
pointedarrowbut no change12:18
KM0201did you try reinstalling grub from a lubuntu live cd/usb?12:19
pointedarrowno, I couldn t figure out how it worked12:19
pointedarrowsorry12:19
pointedarrowI thought rescatux was a good work around12:20
pointedarrowit was kernel update of some sort I think, it popped up this morning12:20
KM0201i don't really see how a kernel update, could cause a grub error, but its possible i guess12:21
pointedarrowit might be something else?12:21
KM0201https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair12:21
pointedarrowI thought about an fsck check, but is it poosible from live cd?12:22
KM0201looks pretty straightforward to me.12:22
KM0201why would a filesystem check, fix a grub error?12:22
KM0201it sounds like your grub configuration got borked for some reason12:22
KM0201did you have grub on the MBR< or did you have it on its own partition?12:23
pointedarrowon the mbr12:23
KM0201it should be easy enough to rreinstall grub w/ boot-repair.12:24
pointedarrowis the boot/repair any different from rescatux?12:24
KM0201frankly, i thought rescatux was still using grub-legacy.12:24
pointedarrowsorry, I am in rescatux now, and keyboard layout is messed up12:24
pointedarrowhmm12:24
KM0201i don't have rescatux, so i know nothing about it..12:24
pointedarrowI shall have to burn grub repair, it might be better12:25
KM0201why are you making this more difficult than necessary?12:25
KM0201you're downloading/burning everything BUT what the link says to do.12:25
KM0201and frankly, if you can't use rescatux, i'm gonna put out a WAG, that you can't use grub rescue disk..12:26
pointedarrowtrouble is I havent got access to a burner, before I boot up properly12:26
pointedarrowI had rescatux in my shelf, already burned12:26
KM0201i see... well, depending on what version it is, that might be why its not working.. like i said, grub-legacy.12:26
pointedarrowI shall have to get to a working computer12:26
KM0201is the machine dual booting?12:27
pointedarrowno, only lubuntu12:27
pointedarrowregular 320 GB harddisk12:27
KM0201and the rescatux, is the only live cd you have around?12:27
pointedarrowI have lubuntu, and puppy12:28
pointedarrowtoo12:28
pointedarrowlubuntu 11.04 or something like that12:28
KM0201man i feel like i'm just talking to see what I say... THEN BOOT THE LUBUNTU CD12:28
KM0201it's right there how to install and use boot-repair on that link i gave you12:28
pointedarrowhmm, sorry for being slow, but I couldnt find any repair functions threre12:29
KM0201ok..12:29
pointedarrowI shall boot lubuntu and look again12:29
KM0201you're not listening12:29
KM0201at all...12:29
pointedarrowthanks anyhow12:29
KM0201good luck w/ your problem12:29
KM0201part of support, is to be able to listen to people giving you support, if you actually click the link i gave you, install boot repair, and do what it says.12:30

jvu13Hi, ya'll: anyone feel competent enough to help me with wireless lubuntu problem?19:18
KM0201jvu13: sure.. whats up19:19
jvu13I just installed the current lubuntu version and wireless worked for the first day. Now, it sees my home network but does not connect anymore. It just keeps asking for the WPA password.19:20
bioterrordid you update kernel?19:20
jvu13There was nothing to update (while the network was working)...19:21
KM0201and whats your wireless device?19:21
jvu13I think it is an rtlxxx ...19:21
KM0201jvu13: usb or internal19:22
jvu13internal19:22
KM0201jvu13: in a terminal   lspci | grep Wireless19:22
jvu13OK, I#m booting it up right now... it will be a minute or two...19:22
KM0201a minute or two?...lol19:23
jvu13OK. Upon booting, I was asked to give the keyring pasword for the wlan. I did and it connected! But only for about 30 seconds. Then it disconnected and asks now continuously for the password.19:26
jvu13lspci | grep Wireless produced nothing! Signal stength of the wlan is given in conky as 100%19:26
KM0201hmm19:27
KM0201jvu13: just type lspci  and hit enter, and find yoru wireless device in the list19:27
KM0201don't paste the whole list19:27
silverarrowis vp8 suported in the lubuntu vlc version?=19:28
silverarrowI do updates19:28
jvu13OK: it is Ralink corp RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g19:28
silverarrowfor playing youtube videos19:28
silverarrowwireless issues?19:29
jvu13yep19:29
silverarrowmost ralink should be supported I think19:29
KM0201most of them, that is strange19:29
KM0201wouldn't even know where to start on that one19:30
jvu13I can't paste anything from the laptop: no connection... I'm using another desktop model now19:30
jvu13Like I said: it connects for about 30 seconds. After that, it won't reconnect19:30
silverarrowhmm, other distros handle it fine?19:31
jvu13Kernel is 2.6.38-10-generic19:31
jvu13Other distros: Mint fluxbox 9 works fine. As does Ubuntu 10.04.19:32
silverarrowI would still try 11.04 then19:33
jvu13I think I'll install peppermint 2. I did that on a netbook 2 days ago and it works just fine.19:34
silverarrowlatest is 2.6.38-1119:34
silverarrowthough it really should work if it does in ubuntu19:34
silverarrowyou have added restricted ? but I don't know if that should matter19:35
jvu13No, I only added some stuff like luefish and gftp and other uninteresting things19:36
silverarrowbut nobody have any idea on vlc updates?19:36
silverarrowI am just a regular amateur, but search for lubuntu restricted in package manager19:37
silverarrowthere are two packages there, check if they are installed19:37
silverarrowstill, I think wireless drivers are in the live cd even19:38
jvu13Thanks for your time. I've got to go now. Will try Peppermint 2.19:39
silverarrowand there are "additional drivers" that need to be activated, under system tools19:40
tony_hey ppl schould i get lubuntu offical or low disk space i have 8 gb20:56
rufferimho 8gb is pretty sufficient for any distro, with reasonable package selection approach20:58
tony_what lol21:00
