[01:55] hi to all i have a little problem, can anyone help me please? [01:58] lamberto: No one can know if they can help, until you describe the problem :) So ask your question, and see who answers. [04:23] !Time [04:23] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [05:44] is this the right place to ask questions about lubuntu? [05:46] Yep [05:52] 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] 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] !wireless [05:55] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:55] sweet thanks for that link! [05:59] 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] You will need to connect the wireless one [06:00] It should "see" the wireless as long as the router is set for broadcasting (As yours is) [06:02] Perfect that is what is was hoping to have some light shed on. Thank you! [06:03] Are you connected yet? What type is the wireless model? [06:05] 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] hi [06:12] anyone awake? [06:12] I have had some kind of hd crash [06:12] and I have lubuntu on my hard drive [06:13] lubuntu have acted odd lately [06:13] Even Lubuntu, great though it is, has a hard time booting off a crashed hard drive! [06:13] maybe not the best term to use [06:14] hard drive should be all right [06:14] I scanned it with ultimate boot cd, and it came of all right [06:14] 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] !b43 [06:15] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [06:15] silverarrow: Then... you need to describe the issue in a way that will help us understand it :) [06:16] 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] not I get "not hd detected" [06:16] no* [06:16] now* [06:16] sorry [06:17] no hd detected* [06:17] a bit unusual isn't it? [06:17] 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] broadcom bcm306 is the wireless device, the link looks promising [06:18] no grub, just a lot of red text, either "no os detected" or "no hd detected" it sort of varies on attempts [06:18] 4306 typo [06:19] I'm not sure if red text is lubuntu or BIOS though [06:21] dun: Ah, good, that makes more sense. And then yes, the info in that link should be what you need. [06:22] 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] jmarsden: i now need work through the info within the provided link, I'll check back when I get done. [06:25] thanks btw [06:25] 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] jmarsden, getting camera [06:35] silverarrow: OK. I am hoping seeing it will help me know which it is, BIOS or GRUB... [06:36] right on . pretty late here...might be quite some time, but i will be back. [06:39] back in a few minutes [06:55] Driver is installed and now the wireless device is recognized. Big thanks, I am well on my way now. Until next time! [06:55] dun: Good :) [07:11] hi again === ubuntu_ is now known as silverarrow [07:11] hi [07:12] jmarsden, still here? [07:12] pictures didn't turn out very well but; I booted in lubuntu cd and hd was detected right away [07:13] Jonathan is marked away [07:40] please test. Change user, after login xscreensaver ask password? [11:53] Hello [11:54] Is lubuntu going to be official *ubuntu (canonical supported/sponsered) distro when 11.10 comes out? [12:03] AmberJ: it already is official. You'll find daily images on the Ubuntu image server. [12:07] 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] (?) [12:07] AmberJ: what sort of kinks, have they been reported as bugs or can I help you accomplish that :) [12:07] yea, all are already reported [12:09] Cool, well hopefully they're being worked on then :) [12:12] ok thanks head_victim :) [12:12] 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] hi [12:43] o hai guises [12:44] i got this small problem i'd like to ask about [12:45] m6locks: just ask [12:45] 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] alt + sysrq + r does not work [12:46] xmodmapping iso_level3_shift does not work either [12:46] (before that issue happens) [12:48] 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] m6locks: this seems to be a hard problem to fix. [12:53] i've been googling madly, but so far no luck [12:59] backlight supposed to be dim when laptop running on battery, but it's not. [13:25] I wounder did I install Lubuntu 11.04 properl? having problem with some applications and matters. or there are bugs. === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [14:28] is there a way to see if file checksum is correct in lubuntu? [14:41] silverarrow: you mean for the .iso? [14:42] yes [14:42] !checksum [14:42] 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 [14:42] well, it is not exactly like usual [14:42] hmm lets see if we can find the lubuntu checksums [14:43] I am in lubuntu, which is my main os these days, and I have burnt a puppy linux cd [14:43] ok [14:43] so want to verify the puppy checksum? [14:44] yes [14:44] but I get this following the ubuntu guide http://imagebin.org/172956 [14:44] look on the puppy site they must provide checksums so you can compare [14:46] not sure why you are trying to mount /dev/sda [14:47] read the "Checking the CD directly" section on the HowToMD5SUM page [14:47] I'm just copy and pasting from a guide lol [14:48] guides are just that, guides.
