[02:04] hello, i just installed lubuntu as an "upgrade" (ubuntu 11.10->lubuntu 11.10), and when it boots up it looks like it tries to start x, fails, and then kind of sits there at vterm(?) 7. when i go to an alternate vterm, i can login and run startx just fine, and things go about their merry way. any idea what's going on here? i looked in /var/log/messages and in the x logs too, and didn't see [02:04] anything that really stuck out. i'd be happy if lubuntu would just not even bother trying to start x and hang out at vterm 1 until i login/startx manually, but i couldn't figure out how to do this [02:05] !purelxde | meltiestoo [02:05] meltiestoo: If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » [02:05] try that :D [02:09] wxl: I will marry him, He has done so much, quietly, for lubuntu. [02:10] phillw: i'm speechless [03:14] hi [03:14] what would input/output error mean? [03:14] I sometimes get it when I am about to boot down [03:19] wxl: starting via startx sucks, they should really use the command to start lxdm, else they get a really poor system. [03:21] phillw, how? [03:21] silverarrow: sudo service lxdm start [03:22] oh I see [03:22] I have that one on a postit on the wall here [03:22] what gives the error "input /output error"? [03:23] silverarrow: then remember it and use it :) [03:23] I will [03:23] I sometimes get it when booting down, and nothing seems to respond [03:24] I hope it's sorted itself out after reboot I did [03:24] silverarrow: pass. The kernel does as it sees fit. It has to work on many different systems. If it causing a failure to start / shut down then raise it as a bug. [03:24] you think? [03:24] hmm [03:25] it does start, more like trouble that acts up when system is running [03:25] yyy [03:28] silverarrow: as keeps being told, please raise a bug report with the system details. "It does not work" does not let the devs have any information as to why you have a problem. There are areas to teach you how to raise a bug report that has the details that they need. Unless they have them, they will not consider looking at them. [03:28] !bugs [03:28] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [03:28] I was a bit worried it might be hardware failure, but I haven't had any trouble with puppy linux, but then again it is a frugal install [03:29] thanks [03:29] silverarrow: ^^^ [03:29] is that a smilie of sorts? [03:31] silverarrow: for, you? of course it is. you always keep the people who help on their toes :) One day, you will make a great helper - as you will have gone through all the pain of learning & be able to help new-commers. [03:32] I hope I'm not too much of a bother lol [03:33] I have made some investment into lubuntu especially [03:33] making it work on my laptops [03:35] silverarrow: my only advice to you would be to read the support area for lubuntu, that way you will get a good idea about things & also how we deal with them. [03:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation It has so much info, that when you read through it, you will feel more confident in dealing with issues. Just be aware, it is quite a training course! [03:37] I shall keep reading up on info there : ) [04:09] is there a way I can check if/when swap gets used? [04:10] I run htop but I cannot see anything? [04:11] I made swap 2GB, a bit large perhaps [04:11] but lots of space on hd [04:17] silverarrow, cat /proc/meminfo [04:18] silverarrow, but that's not a history [04:19] hmm [04:20] w30: it came out as priority -1 and 0 used [04:20] but not much running now [04:20] silverarrow, I think hibernate uses a lot of swap [04:21] yes, and it seems to be a must [04:21] I have 2GB swap and my system will not hibernate [04:22] it acts up [04:24] actually I haven't tried hibernation this time [04:24] it might work [04:25] silverarrow, I have a 2 gig swap partition also [04:26] silverarrow, but I have no desire to hibernate [04:26] me neither really, so I never looked much into it [04:27] however, I did wonder if system might benefit from swap even if ram is fairly good, like 1GB [04:28] no one here has any experience with debian live do they? (the project that actually creates live images) [04:29] btw phillw thx for that ubuntu-bug tip. i thought all there was was apport [04:31] hi mark76 [04:36] Hey silverarrow [04:38] I'm not staying long. Just waiting for the nasal spray I took to work [04:38] that's what i usually do when i take my medicine; check out the situation at #lubuntu [04:38] Lol [04:39] I have it set to log in automatically [04:42] silverarrow, screenlets has a system monitor for ram,swap.uptime.etc. [04:43] screenlets? [04:44] sort of like compiz no? [04:44] hmm, [04:44] ...googeling [04:44] desktop based tho [04:44] i'd rather have something in the panel or an app you can run when you want to monitor [04:46] might look at htop [04:46] oops [04:46] gkrellm [04:47] gnome system monitor [04:47] GKrellM's good [04:47] You can set it to autohide [04:47] xfce-task-manager [04:49] dang i didn't know about jamendo [04:49] look at this http://imagebin.org/180238 [04:50] I'm going back to bed [04:50] Night silverarrow and wxl [04:50] night mark76 [04:50] good night mark [04:50] hope your nose feels better :D [04:51] morning here [04:51] Thanks [05:00] holy crow debian live can build images of debian derivatives e.g. ubuntu [05:00] wonder if i can make a lubuntu..... === robotman is now known as AlexAv [07:38] hi === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [08:50] i cant find the rt patches anymore....they are gone [08:50] ...any one here knows exactly what happenend to ingo molnars rt patches [09:35] I'm having trouble getting flash to run with chromium on a 64 bit lubuntu machine.

I'll try with the sofware center [09:37] thanks [09:37] ;) [09:39] l33_: is it worth installing the "Lubuntu" software center instead of the "Ubuntu" one? [09:41] i dont know that - but i would now answer to you with no [09:41] just use synaptic [09:42] ok [09:46] just use apt-get ;) [09:46] and apt-cache [09:49] thats best ;) [09:51] I would like to follow the apt path but I don't know why it didn't work [09:51] wot and why do you think it isnt working? [09:52] well, it did install the adobe flash plugin, but it wouldn't work with chromium [09:53] maybe doing first a reboot and then type about:plugins into chormium adress field [09:53] I don't know if it has anything to do, but I had the ubuntu partners repo disabled [09:53] mmm [09:53] do you have tried before to install some flash codecs like gnash or so? [09:54] nope, I haven't tried with gnash [09:55] try to type about:plugins in the adress field [09:55] try to type about:plugins in the adress field [09:55] ok.

[13:40] stlsaint: what does it means to be part of the ubuntu family? [13:41] stlsaint: by compatible I mean that apache or mysql version on ubuntu 11.10 will be the same as on lubuntu 11.10 [13:45] bencc: well that does not mean ubuntu/lubuntu are compatible...that is based off packages but to answer your question: Yes, those same packages from ubuntu will work in (L)ubuntu [13:46] cool [14:19] hello guys [14:21] Hello [14:21] You [14:21] :) [14:23] mark76: hello , my gedit became so laid i guess some gtklib have conflict here [14:23] mark76: http://pastebin.com/Yc5UUNJN [14:29] Laid?
