| Ma5t3rw1tt | I have a really quick question. I finally found out how to get applications to start automatically but I was wondering if there was a command I could add to make the program minimized? | 00:09 |
| Gabby | when i upgraded my system from ubuntu to lubuntu, i did not see the option for encrypted /home partition. i had an encrypted home partition, however now it just shows a bunch of files listed as *.part | 00:34 |
| Gabby | as a resutl much of the information is encrypted | 00:34 |
| Gabby | any suggestions? | 00:34 |
| === Gabby is now known as Ahmuck | ||
| Unit193 | Ahmuck: I haven't worked with encryption much outside of TrueCrypt, you may also like to check #ubuntu or maybe #ubuntu-beginners | 00:46 |
| Ahmuck | ya, cept it wasn't ubuntu that borked the encrypted partition | 00:47 |
| Ahmuck | is lubuntu going to support encrypted partitions in the next release? | 00:47 |
| Ahmuck | /home encryptions? | 00:47 |
| Unit193 | AFAIK, it's supported now | 00:47 |
| Unit193 | Just the convert killed it | 00:47 |
| Ahmuck | the convert? | 00:48 |
| Unit193 | What version of Ubuntu was it | 00:51 |
| Unit193 | ? | 00:51 |
| Ahmuck | the last one. 10.10 | 01:23 |
| Ahmuck | er, kubuntu 10.10 | 01:23 |
| Ahmuck | er, maybee ubuntu 10.10, don't recall now | 01:23 |
| Ahmuck | prolly kubuntu 10.10 | 01:23 |
| Unit193 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReleaseNotes/MaverickMeerkat I don't see anything about encryption here, but there was in 10.04 | 01:26 |
| Ahmuck | so i wonder how it or i borked my install | 01:27 |
| Ahmuck | i wonder if there is a way to get my files back | 01:27 |
| Unit193 | Take a glance here maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1690865&page=2 or wait for another helper | 01:31 |

| MrChrisDruif | Hi guys and girls | 18:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | Is it possible to reverse the scroll direction in lxde? | 18:56 |
| MrChrisDruif | Anyone? | 18:58 |
| === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie | ||
| MrChrisDruif | IAmNotThatGuy; do you know by any chance? | 19:01 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | MrChrisDruif, I have seen it somewhere. Now I am a bit busy man. I ll come back to that | 19:02 |
| KM0201 | MrChrisDruif: reverse the scroll direction? | 19:02 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | 5 mins | 19:02 |
| MrChrisDruif | KM0201; yeah, like they've got in Mac Lion | 19:03 |
| jmarsden | MrChrisDruif: Are you writing in a language that is written right-to-left? Learning Hebrew, or something like that? | 19:03 |
| MrChrisDruif | >_< | 19:03 |
| KM0201 | MrChrisDruif: considering i don't use mac lion, i don't really understand what you mean by "scroll direction" | 19:04 |
| MrChrisDruif | Well, when you scroll with the mouse wheel (or on the trackpad) you move the page down with by "pulling down", but I want to reverse that | 19:05 |
| MrChrisDruif | Like in this article: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/07/reverse-natural-scrolling-ubuntu-os-lion/ | 19:06 |
| MrChrisDruif | I've managed to get it working in Gnome, but I also want it in lxde (if possible) | 19:11 |
| MikeChelen | where should lubuntu bugs be reported? can't find an option to create a new issue on launchpad | 20:39 |
| jmarsden | Launchpad is the correct place. | 20:39 |
| jmarsden | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs should have all the details. | 20:40 |
| MikeChelen | jmarsden: ah ok, its not a crash though, just noticed the filename for the iso in the lubuntu torrent is wrong | 20:43 |
| jmarsden | So the bug is a typo in a wiki page? Which page? you or I can fix that! | 20:44 |
| MikeChelen | it should be reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/ even if it is for lubuntu right | 20:44 |
| MikeChelen | not wiki | 20:44 |
| MikeChelen | well, idk maybe | 20:44 |
| MikeChelen | on this page: http://lubuntu.lafibre.info/11.04/ | 20:45 |
| jmarsden | That's not an official Lubuntu website... reportthat to whoever runs that site. | 20:45 |
| MikeChelen | hmm its linked from official lubuntu site | 20:45 |
| MikeChelen | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu#A11.04 | 20:46 |
| jmarsden | Yes, it is someone who is part of the Lubuntu community, I forget who :) | 20:46 |
| MikeChelen | its the official download link tho | 20:46 |
| jmarsden | If there is a typo in the help.ubuntu.com page, tell me and I'll fix it right now. | 20:46 |
| MikeChelen | its not on that page itself | 20:46 |
| jmarsden | Wait... the official download location for 11.04 is the lafibre site? | 20:46 |
| MikeChelen | yes it seems so | 20:47 |
| jmarsden | That's new... let me check... | 20:47 |
| MikeChelen | okey | 20:47 |
| jmarsden | Looks like someone rewrote that page relatively recently, or else my memory is really bad...! | 20:48 |
| jmarsden | But you can't really file bugs about a non-Ubuntu site in LP, it doesn't really make sense, Ubuntu people can't fix that. | 20:49 |
| MikeChelen | its just weird because there is no other official download source | 20:49 |
| MikeChelen | guess i could add a note on the wiki page about the problem | 20:50 |
| jmarsden | well, 11.04 was not officially a Ubuntu release, we only became "official" from a Ubuntu/Canonical perspective in 11.10 :) | 20:50 |
| jmarsden | Better to post to the lubuntu-desktop mailing list, if you are already on that? | 20:50 |
| jmarsden | I'm trying to figure out whose site the lubuntu.lafibre.info is :) | 20:51 |
| jmarsden | Might be gilir, it is registered in France. | 20:52 |
| MikeChelen | ah ok | 20:55 |
| MikeChelen | i dont usually read the dlist, but im happy to post there if it would be helpful | 20:56 |
| MikeChelen | the problem is that the md5 sums have different file names | 20:56 |
| MikeChelen | than the isos from bittorrent | 20:56 |
| jmarsden | Sure, go ahead and post; whoever owns that site will be on that mailing list, I'm sure. | 20:57 |
| jmarsden | Oh, OK. So you have to manually compare them after downloading; that would break using md5sum -C MD5SUMS to test with... | 20:58 |
| jmarsden | Although in reality bittorrent checksums every chunk of the file anyway, so I'd be prettty amazed if you gto a bittorrent download sucessfully and its md5sum was incorrect -- probably the only way to do that would be a failing hard drive that didn't write what it was told to write when you stored the file! | 20:59 |
| MikeChelen | yeah its a bit redundant, but i had the image downloaded on one machine with a bt client | 21:01 |
| MikeChelen | and then copied it over the local network to another system | 21:01 |
| MikeChelen | which had no bt client, and wanted to check with md5 sums | 21:02 |
| MikeChelen | but ended up having to install a bt client on the 2nd system too | 21:02 |
| MikeChelen | just to check the file | 21:02 |
| jmarsden | No, that's unnecessary, surely! You can just md5sum somefile.iso and then read the MD5SUMS file and see if the numbers match! | 21:03 |
| jmarsden | The filename being not quite the same should not be an issue for a human, right? | 21:03 |
| MikeChelen | yeah that seemed to be the other option, but for some reason i dont think it worked | 21:04 |
| MikeChelen | was on a windows system using some random md5 program, but not really sure what the issue might have been | 21:04 |
| MikeChelen | at that point i was focusing not on fixing the issue, but just getting the iso downloaded ok :D | 21:05 |
| jmarsden | If you have to use Windows, install Cygwin, then you have an md5sum command just as you do in Linux :) | 21:05 |
| jmarsden | Anyway, OK, mention it on the list and we'll see what happens. | 21:06 |
| MikeChelen | ah i did install cygwin, didnt realize there was an md5 util included (couldn't figure out how to install stuff in cygwin) | 21:06 |
| MikeChelen | its a loaner laptop so i didnt want to spend alot of time getting it set up perfectly | 21:06 |
| jmarsden | run the setup.exe and click on the stuff you want to install :) | 21:06 |
| MikeChelen | ok, thanks, its a small issue but its nice to have everything working without manual steps | 21:07 |
| jmarsden | Oh, I agree, we should fix it. But you should not have needed to download twice because of this issue, that was my point, I think :) | 21:07 |
| MikeChelen | oh it has to be selected at install time? i installed cygwin a month ago the last time i actually used the laptop, and didn't recall the install steps | 21:07 |
| MikeChelen | oh, i didn't download twice | 21:08 |
| MikeChelen | i pointed the bt client to the iso and used its file check function | 21:08 |
| jmarsden | You can re-run the setup.exe from Cygwin and add stuff at will. | 21:08 |
| MikeChelen | cool, i will try that if i have to use that laptop again | 21:08 |
| jmarsden | That is also how you keep it updated -- run the setup and don't click any new stuff, it updates what is already there. | 21:09 |
| MikeChelen | thats nice, i wanted to use ssh too, but couldn't see how to install it without apt-get :D | 21:09 |
| jmarsden | :) Yes, cygwin does have some sort of internal installer, but I just run the setup.exe when I need to add stuff, it works well. | 21:10 |
| MikeChelen | just dont have much experience with cygwin because i havent used windows in years :) | 21:10 |
| jmarsden | Good for you... my work needs it, so lots of machines I work on get Cygwin added to them :) | 21:11 |
| MikeChelen | yeah this windows lappy is for work, usually i just do server stuff but this needs to run flash for video streaming, and system is probably too slow for linux/flash | 21:13 |
| MikeChelen | i installed some windows version of git that included ssh, which was pretty helpful | 21:14 |
| MikeChelen | but it would be better to use a more general tool such as cygwin | 21:14 |
| jmarsden | yes... my two choices are virtualbox on newer machines, so Linux can run inside that, or cygwin on older machines :) | 21:15 |
| MikeChelen | oh yeah vbox would let me do the full thing | 21:15 |
| MikeChelen | but as long as i can ssh then its possible to connect to some other system and just work remotely | 21:16 |
| MikeChelen | im trying to get it to live boot for using it with linux at home, but the wifi card requires prop. drivers | 21:16 |
| MikeChelen | so cd wont really work | 21:17 |
| MikeChelen | and im having some issue making a liveusb stick | 21:17 |
| MikeChelen | which is weird because i have made these ok a million times in the past | 21:17 |
| MikeChelen | i think my desktop linux system is trying to automount the usb stick while meanwhile i try to write the new image >_< | 21:18 |
| jmarsden | For just ssh, you can use the Windows version of Putty. For weird wifi issues, it's cheaper to buy a known-Linux-OK USB wifi thngie and use that, than to spend time on propietary wifi hardware, IMO :) | 21:18 |
| jmarsden | MikeChelen: For that, just wait for the automount attempt, then umount if it was mounted, and off you go... just a timing issue. | 21:19 |
| MikeChelen | jmarsden: i was using putty before, but had compatibility issues with key auth | 21:19 |
| MikeChelen | oh yeah maybe i have a usb wifi around here somewhere | 21:20 |
| MikeChelen | thats a good reminder | 21:20 |
| jmarsden | There is a converter for the file formats that you can use to get around the putty ssh key thing. | 21:20 |
| MikeChelen | i tried to tether my android phone a bit but dont really know the procedure | 21:20 |
| MikeChelen | yeah i think i ended up doing something like that, it just added an extra step | 21:21 |
| MikeChelen | and i think the first converter i got was one way in the wrong direction | 21:21 |
| MikeChelen | since i was working remotely and couldn't change the authorized key on the server | 21:21 |
| MikeChelen | for liveusb, having a little trouble figuring out what is the status at any given moment | 21:22 |
| MikeChelen | it might have gotten interrupted previously and now the usb bus is messed up until reboot | 21:22 |
| MikeChelen | the usb stick is appearing as a drive in nautilus | 21:23 |
| MikeChelen | (my desktop is regular ubuntu) | 21:23 |
| MikeChelen | and when i click the eject icon it gives an error about volume being in use | 21:24 |
| jmarsden | Weird. You could try turning off automount completely in the host OS, but I forget the details. Just waiting a while, then sudo umount /media/whatever (if it got mounted there) seems to work for me on a Ubuntu 10.04.3 desktop. | 21:26 |
| MikeChelen | the usb stick activity light keeps flashing, which it normally doesnt, so i think there is just something trying to access it improperly | 21:27 |
| MikeChelen | yeah if automount were disabled that would be fine, but usually the behavior is acceptable | 21:27 |
| MikeChelen | also a lazy unmount might help | 21:28 |
| MikeChelen | and sudo unmount would help too if the rogue process causing volume access is being run only under my user | 21:28 |
