[01:55] <lamberto> hi to all i have a little problem, can anyone help me please?
[01:58] <jmarsden> lamberto: No one can know if they can help, until you describe the problem :)  So ask your question, and see who answers.
[04:23] <JjC2011> !Time
[05:44] <dun> is this the right place to ask questions about lubuntu?
[05:46] <Unit193> Yep
[05:52] <dun> I am curious about wireless detection in lubuntu on an older laptop. I know the idea is for the OS to be compatible with older hardware. i jsut started and install for the second time and both times it has shown as it is not connected to the network. The catch is I have it hard wired, as well as a secure wireless network and an unsecured network in the room where this is taking place.
[05:54] <Unit193> Can you access the internet though? If it's an unknown device, you should be able to find what it is with     lspci    or    lsusb    typed into the terminal
[05:55] <Unit193> !wireless
[05:55] <dun> sweet thanks for that link!
[05:59] <dun> No I have not been able to access the internet in lubuntu yet. But I have had success in other variants of linux were the wireless networks are detected. I am wondering if lubuntu will see the networks or do I need to point it at them?
[06:00] <Unit193> You will need to connect the wireless one
[06:00] <Unit193> It should "see" the wireless as long as the router is set for broadcasting (As yours is)
[06:02] <dun> Perfect that is what is was hoping to have some light shed on. Thank you!
[06:03] <Unit193> Are you connected yet? What type is the wireless model?
[06:05] <jmarsden> Might be simpler to get the wired connection working first; then, you can use it to get any extras you need to work on the wireless NIC.
[06:12] <silverarrow> hi
[06:12] <silverarrow> anyone awake?
[06:12] <silverarrow> I have had some kind of hd crash
[06:12] <silverarrow> and I have lubuntu on my hard drive
[06:13] <silverarrow> lubuntu have acted odd lately
[06:13] <jmarsden> Even Lubuntu, great though it is, has a hard time booting off a crashed hard drive!
[06:13] <silverarrow> maybe not the best term to use
[06:14] <silverarrow> hard drive should be all right
[06:14] <silverarrow> I scanned it with ultimate boot cd, and it came of all right
[06:14] <dun> I am up and running now with the install complete. I just configuered the wireless network although under the network icon in the taskbar both wired and wireless are grayed out. I am wondering if I still need drivers for both.  I will check on the wireless model i am pretty sure it is a broadcom.
[06:15] <jmarsden> !b43
[06:15] <jmarsden> silverarrow: Then... you need to describe the issue in a way that will help us understand it :)
[06:16] <silverarrow> yesterday lubuntu didn't shot down properly. When I shutting down, the regular boot down menu would not appear. I got "child process would not respond" or something like that
[06:16] <silverarrow> not I get "not hd detected"
[06:16] <silverarrow> no*
[06:16] <silverarrow> now*
[06:16] <silverarrow> sorry
[06:17] <silverarrow> no hd detected*
[06:17] <silverarrow> a bit unusual isn't it?
[06:17] <jmarsden> So when you boot the machine, exactly what do you see?  Do you see a GRUB boot menu, or does the "no hd detected" happen before that?
[06:17] <dun> broadcom bcm306 is the wireless device, the link looks promising
[06:18] <silverarrow> no grub, just a lot of red text, either "no os detected" or "no hd detected" it sort of varies on attempts
[06:18] <dun> 4306 typo
[06:19] <silverarrow> I'm not sure if red text is lubuntu or BIOS though
[06:21] <jmarsden> dun: Ah, good, that makes more sense.  And then yes, the info in that link should be what you need.
[06:22] <jmarsden> silverarrow: Can you take a picture of the screen (with a digital camera) when it is in that state and put it online so I can see it?
[06:25] <dun> jmarsden: i now need work through the info within the provided link, I'll check back when I get done.
[06:25] <dun> thanks btw
[06:25] <jmarsden> dun: Cool.  I may be gone by the time you come back, 11pm here... but come back anyway, I leave the machine logging this channel.
[06:34] <silverarrow> jmarsden, getting camera
[06:35] <jmarsden> silverarrow: OK.  I am hoping seeing it will help me know which it is, BIOS or GRUB...
[06:36] <dun> right on . pretty late here...might be quite some time, but i will be back.
[06:39] <silverarrow> back in a few minutes
[06:55] <dun> Driver is installed and now the wireless device is recognized. Big thanks, I am well on my way now. Until next time!
[06:55] <jmarsden> dun: Good :)
[07:11] <ubuntu_> hi again
[07:11] <silverarrow> hi
[07:12] <silverarrow> jmarsden, still here?
[07:12] <silverarrow> pictures didn't turn out very well but; I booted in lubuntu cd and hd was detected right away
[07:13] <IAmNotThatGuy> Jonathan is marked away
[07:40] <JohnDoe_71Rus> please test. Change user, after login xscreensaver ask password?
[11:53] <AmberJ> Hello
[11:54] <AmberJ> Is lubuntu going to be official *ubuntu (canonical supported/sponsered) distro when 11.10 comes out?
[12:03] <head_victim> AmberJ: it already is official. You'll find daily images on the Ubuntu image server.
[12:07] <AmberJ> head_victim: I'm using lubuntu 11.04 since it was released. I'm sure it got much better than the last release...There are a few kinks that I seem to notice very regularly
[12:07] <AmberJ> (?)
[12:07] <head_victim> AmberJ: what sort of kinks, have they been reported as bugs or can I help you accomplish that :)
[12:07] <AmberJ> yea, all are already reported
[12:09] <head_victim> Cool, well hopefully they're being worked on then :)
[12:12] <AmberJ> ok thanks head_victim :)
[12:12] <head_victim> You're welcome, feel free to sign up to the mailing list so that you can keep up to date on how it's all going
[12:18] <leszek> hi
[12:43] <m6locks> o hai guises
[12:44] <m6locks> i got this small problem i'd like to ask about
[12:45] <leszek> m6locks: just ask
[12:45] <m6locks> is there like a way to hard-reset keyboard using command line? my eeePC got some cola dried up in it and it gets this periods where ISO_Level3_Shift is turned on, and all I can type is greek/whatever characters
[12:45] <m6locks> alt + sysrq + r does not work
[12:46] <m6locks> xmodmapping iso_level3_shift does not work either
[12:46] <m6locks> (before that issue happens)
[12:48] <m6locks> i can use the system correctly for some time before i'm stuck with that ISO_Level3_Shift, hard booting the system helps, but I was wondering if I would not have to reboot the system
[12:52] <leszek> m6locks: this seems to be a hard problem to fix.
[12:53] <m6locks> i've been googling madly, but so far no luck
[12:59] <rezbd> backlight supposed to be dim when laptop running on battery, but it's not.
[13:25] <rezbd> I wounder did I install Lubuntu 11.04 properl? having problem with some applications and matters. or there are bugs.
[14:28] <silverarrow> is there a way to see if file checksum is correct in lubuntu?
[14:41] <IdleOne> silverarrow: you mean for the .iso?
[14:42] <silverarrow> yes
[14:42] <IdleOne> !checksum
[14:42] <silverarrow> well, it is not exactly like usual
[14:42] <IdleOne> hmm lets see if we can find the lubuntu checksums
[14:43] <silverarrow> I am in lubuntu, which is my main os these days, and I have burnt a puppy linux cd
[14:43] <IdleOne> ok
[14:43] <IdleOne> so want to verify the puppy checksum?
[14:44] <silverarrow> yes
[14:44] <silverarrow> but I get this following the ubuntu guide http://imagebin.org/172956
[14:44] <IdleOne> look on the puppy site they must provide checksums so you can compare
[14:46] <IdleOne> not sure why you are trying to mount /dev/sda
[14:47] <IdleOne> read the "Checking the CD directly" section on the HowToMD5SUM page
[14:47] <silverarrow> I'm just copy and pasting from a guide lol
[14:48] <IdleOne> guides are just that, guides. They are meant to be read not copied verbatim
