| leszek | hi | 12:03 |
| pcman | hi | 12:32 |
| * pcman just installed ubuntu 11.10 to see how it works. | 12:33 | |
| pcman | After playing with unity for 3 minutes, I realized that I hate it so much! | 12:33 |
| pcman | The worst ubuntu UI ever. | 12:33 |
| pcman | :( | 12:33 |
| leszek | hehe, yeah I have it on my brand new eeepc 1015T and its damn slow with its compiz effects | 12:34 |
| pcman | slowness is not a problem. I use it on my thinkpad. | 12:34 |
| leszek | the ui itself isn't so bad if it would work faster | 12:34 |
| pcman | But the UI is really...I don't know what to say. | 12:34 |
| pcman | it's a little bit too creative. | 12:34 |
| leszek | I switched to unity2d which works faster and seems to be more stable | 12:35 |
| pcman | looks good, but hard to use. | 12:35 |
| pcman | I hate it so much! | 12:35 |
| pcman | Installation is finished! | 12:35 |
| pcman | time to reboot. | 12:35 |
| pcman | apt-get install lubuntu-desktop later! | 12:35 |
| leszek | I don't think its hard to use basically, as I am mostly using only the starters in the launcher or hotkeys | 12:35 |
| pcman | lol | 12:35 |
| pcman | leszek: I'm not using unity2d. | 12:35 |
| pcman | leszek: I'm using the default one in ubuntu. | 12:36 |
| leszek | :) | 12:36 |
| leszek | yeah unity3d basically | 12:36 |
| pcman | no idea how to use it correctly. | 12:36 |
| pcman | let's install lubuntu. | 12:36 |
| pcman | see you. | 12:36 |
| leszek | pcman: honestly the sense of lenses or how they call the new main menu in ubuntu makes no sense for me at all | 12:36 |
| leszek | re | 15:04 |
| canidae | evening. i'm trying to make the keyboard layout permanently norwegian (by changing /etc/default/keyboard), but still it keeps reverting back to american layout. anyone have some suggestions? | 16:11 |
| bindi | hi | 16:35 |
| bindi | is a p3 833mhz powerful enough for lubuntu | 16:35 |
| bindi | its a laptop.. 256 ram | 16:36 |
| frankbooth | bindi should be enough, yeah | 16:37 |
| frankbooth | canidae try this in a terminal (not sure if 'no' is norweigan): setxkbmap -layout no | 16:40 |
| frankbooth | if that works, an ugly solution would be to add the command in autostart | 16:40 |
| bindi | how long the install should load for | 16:40 |
| bindi | clicked install ubuntu and its taking a good while | 16:40 |
| frankbooth | bindi have patience :) | 16:42 |
| bindi | 10 mins | 16:42 |
| bindi | so far | 16:42 |
| frankbooth | wait a little longer to be sure, if you have problems with the graphical installer you could always use an alternate cd | 16:43 |
| bindi | is alternate install hard? will it have options to select or do i have to do everything by hand | 17:05 |
| bindi | frankbooth: we ran out of patience, reaallly slow .. trying alternate installer tomorrow | 17:40 |
| frankbooth | bindi http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal | 17:41 |
| frankbooth | this guide is good, might want to check it out | 17:41 |
| frankbooth | after install is finished, simply do 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop' | 17:42 |
| bindi | yeah okay | 17:42 |
| bioterror | --no-install-recommends! | 17:42 |
| frankbooth | opsie, thx bioterror :) | 17:43 |
| tomeo | Anyone else who has experienced constant freezes of Lubuntu just as you're getting into the os? | 18:37 |
| tomeo | (doesnt matter if I disable gui, still freezes) | 18:38 |
| bioterror | tomeo, check your RAM | 18:43 |
| bioterror | tomeo, if your mem is okay, check your hdd | 18:43 |
| tomeo | bioterror: both ubuntu and crunchbang and windows run fine | 18:44 |
| bioterror | lubuntu is same as your ubuntu | 18:44 |
| tomeo | bioterror: if its the same, why are they two different distros? | 18:45 |
| bioterror | becouse another one comes with GNOME and another comes with Openbox and LXDE | 18:45 |
| svkoskin | they are not | 18:46 |
| bioterror | exactly same kernels and binaries | 18:46 |
| svkoskin | they use same packages, other installation media provides merely different userspace programs | 18:46 |
| bioterror | so if you've run memtest86 and you're sure you dont have anything wrong with the hdd, we can start wondering what could cause the freeze | 18:48 |
| bioterror | but I'm 100% it's hardware related | 18:48 |
| bioterror | +sure | 18:48 |
| tomeo | bioterror: could it be that my install media was corrupt? | 18:48 |
| bioterror | have you checked md5? | 18:48 |
| tomeo | bioterror: nah, im too big of a noob to work those things just yet | 18:49 |
| bioterror | !md5 | 18:49 |
| ubot5 | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 18:49 |
| tomeo | this was my first attempt at installing linux :) | 18:49 |
| tomeo | bioterror: okay I have the md5 sum of my image, but what is it supposed to be? | 18:52 |
| Numbskull | #toybox | 18:53 |
| bioterror | tomeo, http://lubuntu.lafibre.info/11.04/MD5SUMS | 18:54 |
| tomeo | bioterror: they add up | 18:54 |
| bioterror | that's good | 18:55 |
| canidae | frankbooth: cheers, that seems to work, i'll just put that in a script that's run when i log in | 18:56 |
| tomeo | bioterror: but wouldn't you say its quite odd if there is in fact a hardware error that ubuntu, crunchbang and windows all work? | 18:56 |
| canidae | s/that's run/that runs/ | 18:56 |
| bioterror | tomeo, does your LiveCD crash or your installation? | 18:57 |
| tomeo | bioterror: neither. after install and reboot Lubuntu works fine. Then when I reboot again it freezes | 18:57 |
| tomeo | so I tried to reinstall | 18:57 |
| tomeo | and exact same thing happened | 18:57 |
| bioterror | you get just blinking "_"? | 19:00 |
| tomeo | bioterror: no blinking, freeze | 19:00 |
| bioterror | you cannot go to console by pressing CTRL+ALT+f1? | 19:01 |
| tomeo | bioterror: nope, and I tried starting it as TEXT so that I didnt have a gui at all. still froze | 19:01 |
| bioterror | hard case | 19:11 |
| bioterror | tomeo, if you take ubuntu 11.04, it works flawlessly? | 19:11 |
| tomeo | bioterror: yes | 19:11 |
| tomeo | bioterror: but I dont want to use it as its very slow | 19:12 |
| tomeo | and I hate the UI | 19:12 |
| bioterror | you can always remove the gnome stuff ;) | 19:12 |
| tomeo | Lubuntu was awesome when it worked :) | 19:12 |
| tomeo | Even my multigesture trackpad was working | 19:12 |
| tomeo | Sound wasnt working tho, but I bet I couldve got that working somehow | 19:12 |
| bioterror | usually volume level is low in alsamixer | 19:13 |
| tomeo | bioterror: I actually maxed it | 19:13 |
| tomeo | in the terminal version of alsamixer | 19:13 |
| Soojin | heh the panel menu button where you control the width of the bottom bar locked itself and just kept going higher and higher in width so i had to kill it and now my menu is gone ;) | 19:14 |
| tomeo | I think I have to do the hda-intel thing to get the sound working on lubuntu | 19:14 |
| Soojin | I wonder how I can bring it back without restarting my computerr | 19:14 |
| bioterror | Soojin, goto console and restart lxdm | 19:15 |
| bioterror | :) | 19:15 |
| bioterror | if you kill panel, you cant run alt+f2 | 19:15 |
| bioterror | so only good trick to start that panel is to restart X | 19:16 |
| Soojin | ok:) | 19:16 |
| bioterror | sudo service lxdm restart | 19:16 |
| Soojin | is there any way to actually change the color of the corner clock? | 19:22 |
| teemperor | little question, look gtk3-apps native in lubuntu 11.10 ? :) | 19:22 |
| === tomeo2 is now known as tomeo | ||
| bioterror | tomeo, I have to ask from jmarsden if there's something different in lubuntu when booting | 20:13 |
| tomeo | bioterror: okay | 21:41 |
| bioterror | but good night ;) | 21:43 |
