[00:29] so are there official lubuntu torrents now? [00:33] semitones: Sure are [00:33] Check the download link in the topic [00:34] aawsome [00:46] it is really nice [00:46] the new 11.10 I mean [00:49] i got a Ubuntu 11.10 upgrade message on Lubuntu oh noes [00:50] Do not upgrade [00:50] ;) [00:50] does this mean Lubuntu wont send me updates [00:51] my little aspireone wouldnt do well with Ubuntu, sadly :) [00:51] It's fine, don't worry about it [00:51] cool beans [00:52] ...I suppose you could take that wrong. The update should give you Lubuntu 11.10 [01:10] Unit193: i don't know if you guys can do anything about that, but there's been confusion over that a couple of times in the channel today [01:11] i don't know if xubuntu and kubuntu do the same thing.. they may well. [01:15] I think X does [01:24] how to get verbose boot? [01:51] umm. [01:51] just splash? not quiet splash? [01:51] debug nosplash? [01:51] i was thinking you could edit /etc/default/grub [01:52] chicken chicken? [01:52] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [01:52] yeah right it's the settings [01:52] thx Unit193 [01:53] i think i figured it out, lemme test it in vbox [01:53] This too if you didn't see it http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt [01:55] seems like debug [01:55] not sure about the splash/nosplash [01:56] i think i got it, hang on [01:56] * wxl taps fingers [01:56] it's still booting, lol sorry [01:57] :) [01:57] maybe i screwed something up, who knwos...lol [01:57] weird, now the machine won't boot. [01:58] well we know what it's not [01:58] what did you use? [01:58] "quiet splash"... thats whats on my desktop, and it works fine. [01:58] well that's not verbose and what i had [01:59] right [01:59] hold lemme fix this real quick [02:00] well this sucks. [02:00] sorry :( [02:00] oh its ok. [02:00] have a snapshot? [02:01] no, i booted recovery, and went to edit grub, and it says its a read only file system. [02:01] lol [02:01] uhhh [02:02] never had that happen before [02:03] i guess i can chroot it from a live cd [02:04] heh fun [02:05] well, that's what i'm gonna have to do, looks like [02:09] man, this is taking a while (had to update my source list..lol) [02:12] ew [02:12] yeah, no kidding [02:12] consider ubuntu's servers are slow as molasses right now. [02:12] lol [02:12] i'll get it fixed before midnight..lol [02:13] i promise never to ask questions :D [02:13] naa, its ok. [02:13] i know [02:13] lol jackass [02:13] i'm trying out ibm java [02:13] strange you can't edit grub from rescue mode [02:13] that seems almost silly [02:13] indeed [02:17] let me call Mark and talk to him about that [02:17] hehehe [02:17] bbl [02:17] oh come on, i'm about to figure it out. [02:17] lol [02:17] thats ok, i'll tell you when you get back [02:17] hehe [02:40] Hello, anyone can help me to update lubuntu 11.04 to 11.10? [02:43] System - Administration - Update Manager, should show up as a button near the top [02:45] If it doesn't goto the settings button on update manager, flick over to the updates tab and click the bottom drop down box and select "normal releases" close and ok all that stuff and repeat the above process [02:47] i did that but it say's that it's going to update to ubuntu 11.10 it seems a little rare to me, this is the reason why im asking [02:47] thanks a lot for your answer, i will do it :D [02:48] Rare? isn't that what you were looking to do? It is a longer process then just receiving normal updates so have the internet on and about 2 hours free [02:49] no worries ;) [02:49] yeah, because it says ubuntu no lubuntu, but may be its because lubuntu is based on ubuntu [02:49] thanks again :D [02:52] Ahh yes, I think it should work.. Even if it is Ubuntu you can always install lubuntu-desktop afterwards [03:18] is it possible to update 11.04 to 11.10 through update manager? [03:27] Octatron, should I "tick" Pre-realeased update? [03:27] there are four options on update menue [03:31] Rezwanur: ignore those, go right to the bottom where it has "release upgrade" drop down the box and select "Normal Release" then close and ok out of all of that. when you go back to update manager it should show up [03:34] Octatron, I got it. thank you so much :) [06:04] hi all, does anybody know what happened to lubuntu.net ?? since 11.10 release i just forwarded to ubuntu domain. What happened to all those helpful videos and screencasts? [06:08] i think that's officialness :D [06:09] pitty. their were such a good videos for a newbee like me [06:09] No, that's called DDoS :P [06:10] oh, must be the CIA again :/ [06:10] Release day = DDoS on anything Ubuntu [06:10] it's not that it fails, it redirects [06:11] A redirect was put on it, yes [06:11] http://lubuntu.net/X goes to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LubuntuX [06:12] so http://lubuntu.net/news which used to have the videos Wesss is referring to now goes to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntunews [06:12] yes and all of those screencasts are gone [06:13] wxl : in the new page i get a message that the page does not exist yet [06:13] rright it doesn't [06:13] and won't [06:16] Wesss: here's the creator's youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/llelectronics [06:17] thanks- looks like all the videos are there [06:17] and even more [06:17] hard to dig through but yes [06:18] hope these screencast comes back to lubuntu. it was a great help for newbees. actuallt it was the main reason i chose lubuntu was these easy to access and understand support [06:21] thanks for the link wxl [06:24] that's useful. thanks wxl [06:30] np [06:31] Wesss: you should post a suggestion to the mailingg list [06:38] unfortunatly i do not member of the mailing list- where can i apply? [06:39] should be on ubuntu site (lubuntu section) ? [06:39] look at the bottom here https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop [06:39] become a team member and you'll have the option of joining [06:40] found it. tnx [06:50] no lubuntu forum yet huh? [06:51] It has a tag/section of the main [06:51] makes sense, i guess xubuntu don't have one [06:58] hello everyone [06:58] hey [06:59] hey I just upgradeded and i lost the sound [06:59] this is the error i get [06:59] Your audio capture settings are invalid.

[07:13] not that i know [07:13] hm [07:13] try ls -al on ~ [07:13] today it asked me if i wanted to upgrade to the new version, i said yes [07:13] well without the on [07:13] i'm speaking commandlineglish [07:14] ok [07:14] everything is own by me [07:15] k... === lighta is now known as Guest46533 [07:19] what are perms/ownership on ~/.dmrc? [07:20] let me see [07:22] I don't have that [07:22] don't have dmrc [07:22] you didn't forget the . did you? [07:23] nope [07:23] gr [07:30] fitus: i think i'm at a loss. not to pull a microsoft response on you but i would suggest a reboot and see what happens === Guest46533 is now known as lighta [07:53] On a standard Ubuntu 11.10 install, I added the lubuntu-desktop package, set the default display manager to lxdm, and rebooted. Now I get a nice blue background with wavy lines, but no login window. Thoughts? [08:16] Wow, lubuntu isn't exactly parsimonious with disk space. [08:21] How much space does a standard install use? Am I just bloated up to 5GB due to having installed the lubuntu-desktop package on top of a regular Ubuntu install? [08:25] cjs: you are not going to get as much of the resource benefit of using Lubuntu if you've already installed ubuntu first, especially with regards to hard drive space. [08:25] Ok, no big deal anyway. [08:27] So my big question: I want to get rid of the file manager and replace the window manager with fvwm. With GNOME, I add another file in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions with my preferred config. With lxsession-edit, I notice the advanced options includes a "Window Manager" setting. I guess I could just change that, but is there a way to have different startups with different configurations, like GNOME? [08:36] Well, just changing the wm to fvwm works.... === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [08:43] cjs make a copy of /etc/xdg/Lubuntu (obviously underr a different name) in /etc/xdg and edit as you wish [08:43] your entries will show up at the login scrreen [08:44] along with some other bizarre things that don't actually appear to be there from what i can tell (e.g. kde/openbox-- eww!) [08:58] So, /etc/xdg is, in general, for what? [08:58] different window managers [08:58] BTW, I'm using gde at the moment; lxde doesn't come up with a window. [08:58] default is a "lubuntu," a "lubuntu-netbook" and an "lxde" [08:59] Ok, xo /etc/xdg is used only for the lxde session manager? [08:59] s/xo/so/ [08:59] well xdg is free desktop so no [08:59] And it's clearly not just window managers, since I see lxsession and pcmanfm subdirs there, too. [09:00] uhhh poo [09:00] in lx-session is where i was referring to [09:00] sorry [09:00] if you use a different session manager it should asumedly have another directory in there === lesshaste is now known as Guest98160 [09:01] I want to use lxsession, But I want to use fvwm as my window manager, and not have a file manager. === Guest98160 is now known as leshaste [09:01] i thought you said you wanted more than one wm? [09:01] Up to now I've been doing this under the gnome session manager. [09:01] ew [09:01] is it possible to upgrade from ubuntu lts to lubuntu? [09:02] wxl: You mean, "Ewww, gnome?" If so, yeah. Thus my presence here. :-) [09:02] right right cjs :D [09:02] (It bends me over and does terrible things to me with every new Ubuntu release.) === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [09:03] But anyway, I did things somewhat differently when using gnome, and perhaps this is the source of my confusion. [09:03] unity is shit [09:03] there i said it [09:04] cjs: It always will be great to change often and learn =]. It will become easy for people who likes to learn and use, rather than for people who like to use and learn [09:04] There i would add a /usr/share/xsessions/fvwm-gnome-session.desktop file with "gnome-session --session=fvwm-gnome", which would add an "Fvwm GNOME" entry to the gdm session selection dropdown. [09:04] M0hi: I have learned far more than I ever wanted to know about this. :-) [09:05] (: [09:05] Now, I notice that I also have, since I installed the lubuntu-desktop package, new entries there for Lubuntu, Lubuntu-Netbook, LCDE, etc. So I assume that part kinda stays the same, right? [09:06] you could mess with those [09:06] (Presumably the [non-working for me] lxdm display manager would also use these data.) [09:06] or add to them [09:06] so yr prob is lxdm don't work? [09:07] wxl: That's one problem, though not my primary one at the moment. [09:08] Ah, so the /usr/bin/startlubuntu* files are shell scripts with things like "exec /usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE" and "exec /usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu-Netbook -e LXDE" in them. [09:09] I am guessing that those correspond to the /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lbuntu etc. directories. [09:09] It seems odd that they would use different but nearly identical startup scripts for Lubuntu and Lubuntu-Netbook, rather than just pass a parameter to one common script. [09:10] That would also save me from making yet another copy that will not change with Ubuntu upgrades. [09:10] Hm. Unless I get clever with sed. [09:10] i hear ya [09:10] * M0hi is marking those ideas [09:10] however i'm about ready to pass out [09:11] nighty night [09:11] So, wxl, you were saying I should make a copy of /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu under a different name? How were you proposing I use the copy? [09:11] ok last thing [09:11] night wxl [09:11] cjs: yes, edit it to point at your window manager of choice [09:11] wxl: 'night. Thanks for your help! [09:11] love you bye :D [09:11] yes, but how do I then use it instead of the standard one? [09:12] I presume with another shell script, the way I described, but would love to hear of a better way. [09:12] M0hi: Are you a dev on this, BTW? [09:12] Ah, this will work.... [09:12] cjs: I prefer keeping a copy in the same location with a suffix added (like _prev) to all the files, so that it always will be easy to bring back ;) [09:13] cjs: I just finished the learning. Gonna contribute for the Next release (hopefully if my office gives time :| ) [09:13] M0hi: Well, with my gnome setup I never modified any of the original files. I just added a new one. So the "Fvwm GNOME" selection was an addition to the various other GNOME sessions, rather than a replacement. [09:14] I wonder what happens if I use lxpanel under Gnome? [09:14] Lemme go throught he logs to understand about the issue you have [09:16] We do not have a structure of different startups. Also, if Ubuntu is installed in first place, the benifits will not be much as Jered was mentioning [09:17] err!! typo in name [09:18] Oh! It works! [09:19] The only real issue is that I don't get the button for logout/suspend/hibernate, etc. Which is a big problem since due to a bug I can't do that from the command line. [09:20] We have a note about that issue. I'm not sure who is working on it now [09:21] Have you ever tried writng an X session script? [09:21] Really? For using lxpanel under Gnome? [09:21] Yes, I used to use those all the time, back in the '90s before I eventually switched to using a session manager. [09:22] (That I still use fvwm should be a clue as to how old I am. :-)) [09:22] (And that's my fourth WM, too.) [09:22] ah! [09:22] Hm. Is there any way to get the clock to deal with a vertical panel that's not wide enough for horizontal text? Perhaps by turning it sideways? [09:24] This stuff is pretty nice, BTW. You seem to have all the stuff that Gnome occasionally puts in and then takes out again with the next release. [09:25] I guess I can put in two digital clocks, one above the other, and have one displaying hours and one minutes. :-) [09:30] Hm. Maybe it's just a bit too wonky. And I am fed up with Gnome anyway.... [09:32] Ya, argh., the "no command line suspend" (broken pmi command) is still in Ubuntu 11.10. You'd think with a whole release cycle they could fix that. [09:32] he he. Sorry was helping in another channel [09:32] Where he was timed out :/ [09:35] So, any thoughts on why lxdm might be failing to come up with a login window? [09:36] I'd really like to try it. === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [09:39] cjs: startup Scripts might be the issue. they might be starting the other dependancies [09:40] * M0hi is not in his machine. So, can't test anything and tell :[ [09:40] Do you have any specific ideas on how to debug this? [09:45] look at the startup scripts running and compare with the dependancy of lxde. Hope something will be missing there [09:55] How do I look at the startup scripts running? [09:55] (I'm not quite getting what you mean, here.) [09:59] I gotta run. I might be back in a few hours. [09:59] ah! check /var/log/syslog [09:59] sorry for the delay in response [10:21] hello i update my lubuntu to 11.10 and system crash, anyone have the same problem? [10:21] i think now i need to istall all system again [10:22] grifo74: you upgraded from 11.04 ? [10:22] yes [10:23] after two hous in update the system crash and off [10:25] After w hours of completion of the upgrade, did your machine crash while running normally? [10:25] s/w hours/2 hours* [10:26] yes i update then restart the system and stay in comad line. [10:26] it´s time to install all again [10:27] So, now you are getting just the blank screen and no boot menu ? [10:27] :-) i dont go desist [10:27] i just like to now if anyone have the same problem [10:28] Till now, I didn't see any reports like that grifo74 [10:30] ok i go make a new clean system and then i remaster [10:47] is it possible to upgrade from ubuntu lts to lubuntu? [10:48] leshaste: think beter wait 12.04 lts. or try clear install + backup home [10:52] leshaste: You cannot Jump from one version to another if you have other releases in the middle. So, Clean install is what I will suggest [10:52] it more moving from normal ubuntu to lubuntu that I was asking about [11:26] JohnDoe_71Rus, ^^ [11:26] my question is whether you can upgrade from normal ubuntu to lubuntu [11:29] leshaste: some like this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall [11:29] remove all to minimal [11:30] sorry I don't understasnd. that page just tells you how to do a minimal install doesn't it? [11:32] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde looks more promising [11:33] but that page only has removal instructions [11:33] where do you install LXDE desktop ? [11:34] i'm pretty sure you can just sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [11:35] then remove ubuntu-desktop [11:35] try remove ubuntu-standard ubuntu-desktop. save ubuntu-minimal. then sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends lubuntu-desktop ? [11:35] probably be easier to clean install though [11:35] i don't really see the big deal of using no-install-recommends... i never do, but.. thats personal opinion [11:36] ok.. does that also install a browser? [11:36] yes, chromium [11:36] ah ok [11:37] thanks [11:37] I'll wait until I am on oneiric first :)# [11:37] and then try it [11:37] how do you "save ubuntu-minimal"? [11:38] leshaste: don t remove it [11:38] ah :) [11:39] I assume firefox still works in lxde? [11:39] I like the add-ons [11:41] you can install your favorite programs [11:51] k [14:20] how can i restore my panel to defult [14:24] Dogwar1984: Possibly remove .config/lxpanel (or whatever it is--look around in there), log out, and log in again? [14:25] dame i forgot thet thx [14:27] \ [14:37] problem my usb end harddrivers dont mount after update to 11 10 [14:49] Cant mount any device help [14:52] Well, explaining what you're doing, what the expected result is, and what the actual result is would help. [14:55] i am just try plug in mu usb hdd end it dont mount it [14:55] happend after i upde from 11.04 to 11. 10 lubuntu [14:59] Ah, the auto-mount thing. I can't help with that, sorry; I don't use it. [15:00] thx any way [15:08] is there old style bookman for libre office? === silverlightning is now known as silverarrow [15:28] Hi, this morning, I did a dist upgrade, but now, there is no power management applet any more. Also, there is no chance to add it with the "desktop session settings". Where can I find it? [15:29] Now I use Lubuntu 11.10 [15:31] a tricky one [15:31] butterbrot, xfce4-power-management-applet or what wras it [15:32] was it [15:32] tab complete it [15:40] bioterror: no, it is the gnome-power-manager and the gnome-power-statistics. both is installed and I reinstalled gnome-power-manager ,... I can also launch gnome-power-statistics, but there is no possibility to integrate it in the panel,.... but now, I will try to install the xfce4-power-management-applet [15:40] what? [15:41] lubuntu moved to xfce4-power-manager on 11.10 [15:42] I remember so ;) [15:43] bioterror:ohh, okay, it is already not installed on my notebook,...I will instal it, but thanks for helping :-) [15:44] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Applications [15:44] Power manager : xfce4-power-manager [15:44] are there extra fonts for libre office? [15:46] there are xfce4 components in lubuntu? [15:46] I thought that was kubuntu [15:55] bioterror: thank's a lot, it works with xfce4-power-manager ;-) [15:56] you rescued my afternoon :-) [15:57] np ;) [16:14] !gksu [16:14] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:17] bye [16:44] hey, I have ubuntu 11.10, how can I convert it to lubuntu? [16:48] e.g., install lubuntu-desktop [16:50] how is 11.10? [17:25] ok what did i miss? [17:52] hi [17:53] yo [17:56] o/ [17:59] Could you guys use someone who makes artwork? I'm pretty active in the Ubuntu-NL community, I made almost all their launchpad team logos and the official Ubuntu-NL logo... [18:00] What do I need to do to get involved? :) [18:02] Idroy_: post it to gnome look ? [18:02] see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork [18:03] Well, on your wiki-page it says you need contributions in the artwork area (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/GettingInvolved), so that's why I asked about it. [18:04] Not my wiki page =) [18:04] I am a transient here [18:04] I just cause trouble [18:04] http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=437 [18:05] there [18:05] have fun [18:14] bodhi_zazen, that wiki page is from the "real" Ubuntu, not from Lubuntu (I know Lubuntu is a derivative of Ubuntu) [18:16] Idroy_, you want to get involved with Lubuntu team? [18:16] Yep :) [18:16] From now, for Lubuntu team also, work will be done by the artwork team [18:17] The artwork team of Ubuntu? [18:17] Yes [18:18] you missed your chance ;) [18:19] you can probably join that team? [18:19] Hmmm, that [18:19] 's not a bad idea* [18:19] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-art [18:19] Thank you [18:21] I'll contact the owner of that team. :) [19:19] is there a way to convert ubuntu to lubuntu?
