| Kalidarn | hi, does anyone know why im getting horrible window refreshes when i move a window | 13:22 |
| Kalidarn | basically if i move a window quickly | 13:22 |
| Kalidarn | nothing refreshes and i get massive ghosting | 13:22 |
| Kalidarn | until i minimize the app | 13:23 |
| Kalidarn | or load something over the top of it | 13:23 |
| negthorn | I have "ghosts" too... but for a while | 13:25 |
| negthorn | I think it's Videocard problem | 13:25 |
| Kalidarn | i've got a nvidia gtx 570 | 13:26 |
| negthorn | I have Radeon 9200 SE ... and it is not well supported | 13:26 |
| negthorn | hm ... | 13:26 |
| negthorn | you mean 5700 ? | 13:26 |
| Kalidarn | okay | 13:26 |
| Kalidarn | this could be the issue | 13:27 |
| Kalidarn | direct rendering: Yes | 13:27 |
| Kalidarn | server glx vendor string: SGI | 13:27 |
| Kalidarn | its not using nvidia proprietary drivers maybe | 13:27 |
| negthorn | it may be ... | 13:27 |
| Kalidarn | i used to use LXDE for all my VMs | 13:27 |
| Kalidarn | and basically ive had it with GNOME and Unity | 13:27 |
| Kalidarn | and if im going to fall back and use the old GNOME2 shell i might as well use LXDE | 13:27 |
| Kalidarn | :P | 13:28 |
| Kalidarn | ie yes unity is a good step, but it's pretty unstable. | 13:28 |
| Kalidarn | dunno what they were thinking releasing oneric so early | 13:28 |
| negthorn | (previously I though it is GForce 5700 - my mistake (blush) ) | 13:28 |
| Kalidarn | nah thats an old old card | 13:28 |
| Kalidarn | GTX 570 580 590 are newish cards | 13:28 |
| negthorn | I saw ... | 13:29 |
| negthorn | It might be about driver selection ... but - Oh sHell .. I don't know where is the "conf" file | 13:30 |
| negthorn | I've mentioned "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" | 13:30 |
| negthorn | is entire folder about xorg | 13:30 |
| negthorn | but in my case there is no file related with monitor/vc | 13:31 |
| Kalidarn | oyeah i just realised neither proprietary driver were activated | 13:31 |
| Kalidarn | least from memory LXDE is pretty solid | 13:31 |
| Kalidarn | i have a lot of stuff open when i work and nothing worse is having the window manager crash | 13:32 |
| Kalidarn | ive not had good experiences with KDE either actually | 13:32 |
| Kalidarn | plasma is still kinda crashy too | 13:32 |
| negthorn | me too | 13:32 |
| Kalidarn | been completely turned off both desktops for quite a while | 13:32 |
| negthorn | I've stopped liking KDE since 3.4.3 | 13:32 |
| Kalidarn | yeah i used 4.0-4.2 and then came back in 4.5-4.7 | 13:32 |
| Kalidarn | it was a bit better | 13:33 |
| Kalidarn | but there's still rough edges | 13:33 |
| Kalidarn | then i figured i'd give gnome 3 a shot cos i hadn't used gnome in a while but im not sure what canonical was thinking by doing gnome+unity | 13:33 |
| Kalidarn | unity is no where near production ready | 13:33 |
| Kalidarn | ain't ever going to clear bug 1 if it's less stable than it's competition | 13:33 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 | 13:33 |
| negthorn | I think you can still use metacity/compiz ... bla-bla | 13:34 |
| negthorn | I mean ... still in repos | 13:35 |
| negthorn | but I preffer Gnome 3 than Unity | 13:35 |
| negthorn | I 've tried both | 13:36 |
| Kalidarn | and that seems to have fixed my issues | 13:36 |
| Kalidarn | installing the driver ;) i must have accidentally removed it when removing gnome | 13:36 |
| negthorn | (thumb_up) ... Great | 13:36 |
| Kalidarn | about the only thing i do miss in lxde is expose type feature | 13:37 |
| Kalidarn | thats about the only thing i used | 13:37 |
| Kalidarn | i guess i have alt tab that's good enough i suppose | 13:37 |
| Kalidarn | the workspace view wasn't bad either maybe i can bind my workspaces to key combinations | 13:38 |
| negthorn | I've heared about tools ... one in Xfce, one in Gnome ... for key-combos | 13:39 |
| negthorn | but I don't remember names | 13:39 |
| Kalidarn | mm and a lauchy type bar would be good too | 13:40 |
| Kalidarn | something with low dependencies | 13:41 |
| negthorn | wbar | 13:41 |
| negthorn | in Ubuntu repos is stil older version | 13:43 |
| negthorn | 1.3 sucks | 13:43 |
| negthorn | but you can download 2.2 from their site | 13:43 |
| negthorn | much pretier | 13:44 |
| Kalidarn | hmm | 13:44 |
| Kalidarn | lol yer except it's i386 :P | 13:45 |
| negthorn | hm ? | 13:45 |
| Kalidarn | im on an amd64 machine | 13:46 |
| Kalidarn | so ill have to compile from source i guess | 13:46 |
| negthorn | it's about the driver | 13:46 |
| negthorn | or the bar ? | 13:46 |
| Kalidarn | the bar | 13:47 |
| Kalidarn | https://code.google.com/p/wbar/downloads/list | 13:47 |
| negthorn | try the debs .. | 13:47 |
| negthorn | I don't think it matters | 13:48 |
| negthorn | it's very light | 13:48 |
| negthorn | (most probably reason for tagging as i386 ) | 13:49 |
| Kalidarn | i guess ill ahve to use dpkg and force it | 13:50 |
| brother- | Kalidarn: if you just want some view of all applications running and sorting them by workspace is ok you can middle click the desktop | 13:50 |
| Kalidarn | haha cept my middle mousebutton is broken lol | 13:51 |
| brother- | Kalidarn: and you can bind that to a key combo if you want. | 13:51 |

| Kalidarn | mm left right? | 13:53 |
| Kalidarn | hmm what module is reponsible for showing the volume onscreen when using volume keys | 14:03 |
| Kalidarn | i might have removed that | 14:03 |
| Kalidarn | hmm | 14:07 |
| Kalidarn | i wonder if ill get notifications working anymore | 14:07 |

| negthorn | how can I change the video driver, in case that Xorg do not use "xorg.conf" file anymore ? | 18:38 |
| negthorn | I suggest that my system is using "ati", instead of "radeon" | 18:39 |
| bioterror | sudo Xorg -configure | 18:41 |
| bioterror | and change the driver | 18:41 |
| negthorn | also there is something I cannot undestand while read "lshw -C display" result | 18:41 |

| leszek | hi | 18:44 |
| BenPA | hi all ... can someone tell me how to reinstall lubuntu 11.04 ... currently, I am having a shutdown/restart problem and it was suggested I reinstall | 19:16 |
| emce | hello guys | 19:17 |
| emce | I've gotquestion about strange situation with lubuntu-logout | 19:17 |
| BenPA | emce: I am having a problem like that too ... what is it? | 19:18 |
| emce | a use normal root account (su root) with changed root password, and after first login on root account after trying to reboot or halt system there is a prompt about password, which dissapear after few second | 19:19 |
| emce | you have to be very quick to put the password :) | 19:20 |
| BenPA | I am having a problem whereby mine will not shutdown or reboot or logout unless I use a terminal | 19:21 |
| brother- | BenPA: how did you manage to install it in the first time? | 19:22 |
| morri | hi guys | 19:22 |
| brother- | BenPA: just do it the same way | 19:22 |
| morri | where do I get desktop setting in lubuntu 1110? | 19:23 |
| leszek | morri: which desktop settings ? | 19:23 |
| BenPA | brother: you are right ... I used a disk ... I did 2 and the other was upgrading to 11.10 | 19:23 |
| brother- | BenPA: either you donwload a 11.10 image and use that (cd or usb doesn't matter) or you reuse the old disc and just go through the upgrade again | 19:24 |
| morri | desktop setting (thats what it is called) and you use it to change the desktop (colour and background | 19:24 |
| BenPA | brother: sorry my dumbness ... forgot that I did it that way on this machine | 19:24 |
| leszek | morri: ah ok you want to change the background | 19:24 |
| brother- | morri: lxappearance? | 19:24 |
| leszek | morri: I guess right clicking on the desktop and going to preferences | 19:25 |
| brother- | morri: background is inside the pcmanfm settings. right click the background and select it there or execute pcmanfm --desktop-pref | 19:25 |
| leszek | :) | 19:25 |
| BenPA | brother: but do you know of a way to fix the shutdown reboot logout error without having to reinstall? | 19:25 |
| morri | it isnt in the right click, only the standard desktop reconfig etrc is there but if it is possible to get it via terminal its great | 19:26 |
| brother- | BenPA: I have no such issue so I have no idea | 19:26 |
| leszek | BenPA: whats the exact problem there ? | 19:26 |
| brother- | morri: untick the box at the advanced tab when you have launched via command line | 19:26 |
| BenPA | leszek: I cannot shutdown or reboot or logout from the menu ... only from terminal with shutdown command | 19:28 |
| morri | okay cool :) thanks | 19:28 |
| emce | leszek: for me - the same | 19:29 |
| brother- | BenPA: earlier (vary vary long time ago) you had to have your user in a special group | 19:30 |
| brother- | BenPA: powerdev | 19:31 |
| brother- | BenPA: for reference. I am not in that group on my 11.10 install so that long shoot is not relevant =) | 19:31 |
| BenPA | brother: ok do what do I do remove it from that group or what | 19:31 |
| brother- | brother ~$ groups | 19:31 |
| brother- | brother adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare admin | 19:31 |
| brother- | I think my system is fairly standard at this point | 19:31 |
| BenPA | brother: no I see now powerdev group listed | 19:32 |
| BenPA | see no | 19:32 |
| BenPA | brother: adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin netdev admin sambashare | 19:33 |
| leszek | BenPA emce: So you don't have the menu entry or if you press logout it does nothing ? | 19:34 |
| BenPA | brother: I have the entry but my laptop hangs and does nothing ... looks as tho it is going to do something but hangs | 19:35 |
| emce | leszek: a use normal root account (su root) with changed root password, and after first login on root account after trying to reboot or halt system there is a prompt about password, which dissapear after few second | 19:35 |
| BenPA | brother: I have a netdev group is the only one I see that might be different from yours | 19:35 |
| emce | I click either menu or button on panel | 19:35 |
| BenPA | brother: same here | 19:36 |
| leszek | hmm... you could try replacing lxdm with gdm and then reboot. Perhaps this will work. And its never wise to login as root in a graphical environment | 19:37 |
| BenPA | brother/leszek: I went to launchpad first before coming here and the last entry on a post was to reinstall | 19:37 |
| brother- | BenPA: I am not sure if I was unclear or anything. | 19:38 |
| BenPA | leszek: I am using kdm ... using kde not gnome | 19:38 |
| brother- | BenPA: I have /NO/ idea how to solve this for you. my ideas was old and not applicable. | 19:39 |
| brother- | BenPA: my system works fine | 19:39 |
| brother- | BenPA: I installed 11.04 and have upgraded to 11.10 | 19:39 |
| leszek | BenPA: maybe this is the problem | 19:40 |
| BenPA | brother: I just installed 11.04 about 2 weeks ago | 19:40 |
| leszek | perhaps you need lxdm or gdm for it to work | 19:40 |
| BenPA | brother: I installed on an unused unformatted partition | 19:40 |
| emce | leszek: it's not in graphical e., just in conole | 19:40 |
| emce | console | 19:40 |
| brother- | BenPA: thanks. and I can not help you. | 19:41 |
| leszek | ah ok | 19:41 |
| BenPA | brother: thanks | 19:41 |

| Ned1 | hi | 23:13 |
| Ned1 | has anyone ever got the message from filesystem or hd "read only filesystem" | 23:13 |
| Ned1 | I don't understand what might be wrong, but something is locking up the system | 23:14 |
| Ned1 | if I do a read/write test from live lubuntu CD, would it detect any hard ware trouble I might be having? | 23:16 |
| Ned1 | I booted in lubuntu live cd and could not delete and reformat hard drive, and it took me a while to understand the live cd somehow grabs swap | 23:17 |
| Ned1 | when I found a work around it formatted fine | 23:17 |
| Ned1 | but I still get this "read only filesystem" what ever I use on the hard drive | 23:17 |
| Ned1 | disk utility shows everything as fine, healthy disk and green lights | 23:18 |
| Ned1 | any idea how to trouble shoot for errors ? | 23:18 |
| Ned1 | this laptop is on it's way into the garbage bin unless I find a way to target these issues | 23:19 |
| Ned1 | it is not just lubuntu, as I made a frugal install with safefile on a newly formatted hard drive and still get the same messages | 23:20 |
| wxl | controller problem? | 23:21 |
| wxl | see if you have the same issues with an external | 23:21 |
| Ned1 | controller? | 23:21 |
| Ned1 | on yes, usb connected | 23:21 |
| wxl | https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Disk_controller | 23:22 |
| wxl | if you have no such problem with a usb external drive, then it's either the drive (unlikely given the green lights) or the controller | 23:23 |
| wxl | there's an array of smaller related issues it could be: | 23:23 |
| wxl | bad cable | 23:23 |
| wxl | not connected correctly | 23:23 |
| Ned1 | I see | 23:23 |
| wxl | jumpers being set wrong | 23:24 |
| Ned1 | jumpers? | 23:24 |
| wxl | hardware switches basically | 23:24 |
| Ned1 | system has froze again here, so need a reboot to make it work again | 23:24 |
| wxl | if you never opened it up probably not | 23:24 |
| wxl | and proabably not if it used to work | 23:24 |
| wxl | i've heard of cables dying and/or coming unseated | 23:25 |
| wxl | the latter especially so with laptops | 23:25 |
| KM0201 | i had a hard drive that i thought was going bad one time, because it kept makng this clicking noise. | 23:25 |
| wxl | hahahahah | 23:25 |
| Ned1 | I have disassebled it, for cleaning cpu fan and installing a better hard driver | 23:26 |
| wxl | we call that jra in the bike industry, KM0201 | 23:26 |
| KM0201 | jra? | 23:26 |
| wxl | as in "i was just riding along when..." | 23:26 |
| KM0201 | lol, | 23:26 |
| Ned1 | HD * | 23:26 |
| wxl | so you have a new hard drive.. might have been installed incorrectly or whatever | 23:26 |
| KM0201 | well, the hard drive ended up being fine, but when i went to remove the molex connector, i discovered a single broken wire inside the molex connector.... | 23:27 |
| wxl | i'd say you likely have a hardware (read: not lubuntu) issue | 23:27 |
| KM0201 | i toko the HD back, bought a power supply, and the problem never occurred again. | 23:27 |
| wxl | sweeet | 23:27 |
| KM0201 | only thing i can assume, is the irregular voltage was causing the platters to click and clack from starting/stopping | 23:27 |
| Ned1 | wxl, yes I am having that feeling too | 23:28 |
| Ned1 | not sure powersupply can be replaced in laptops | 23:28 |
| Ned1 | maybe this old notebook has served it's time | 23:28 |
| Ned1 | I should just focus on replacing it rather than keep it up | 23:29 |
| KM0201 | Ned1: its not really the power supply that goes bad on a laptop (as that is n the outside) its the power connector that is inside the case, they can be replaced, but it's not for the novice | 23:30 |
| KM0201 | usually requires to remove the motherboard (which can be a pain on some laptops) | 23:30 |
| Ned1 | I shall have to replace the fan too, as it has become considerably more noisy than it used to be | 23:30 |
| KM0201 | and soldering on a new connector | 23:30 |
| wxl | that's a little beyond me | 23:30 |
| wxl | i fear no mac, brave soul that i am, but i don't trust myself soldering | 23:30 |
| wxl | i'd like to say i could but alas. | 23:31 |
| Ned1 | I have had bad luck lately | 23:31 |
| Ned1 | both my computers have failed me | 23:31 |
| Ned1 | they are all old like 4 years or so | 23:32 |
| Ned1 | the other one have some strange issues with power on/off button | 23:32 |
| Ned1 | I cannot switch it on anylonger at all | 23:32 |
| Ned1 | it used to be a good one, ran windows 7 and ubuntu fine | 23:32 |
| Ned1 | lubuntu too | 23:33 |
| Ned1 | desktop environment in Ubuntu is very nice, but I like the simple light mplayer setup | 23:33 |
| Ned1 | not taxing to the system, and suits my purpose | 23:34 |
| KM0201 | Ned1: are you talkin gabout "ubuntu" or "lubuntu".. cuz i'd call the DE of ubuntu, anything but "light" | 23:35 |
| Ned1 | thanks for the tips, I shall have to check for bad connectors and wires | 23:35 |
| Ned1 | Yes I was talking about the Ubuntu desktop, gnome with something? | 23:36 |
| Ned1 | it looks very nice | 23:36 |
| wxl | yes, gnome with bloat | 23:36 |
| wxl | it's pretty and all but damn that's a lot of crap | 23:36 |
| wxl | well, actually, i really hate unity | 23:37 |
| Ned1 | yes, unity, that's it | 23:37 |
| KM0201 | wxl: i agree | 23:37 |
| KM0201 | Ned1: it might look nice but it's certainly not "light" | 23:37 |
| Ned1 | I suppose if you have tons of cpu ram and 64 bit system you hardly know it is bloated ? | 23:37 |
| wxl | ridiculous icons | 23:37 |
| wxl | i guess | 23:37 |
| wxl | but that's waste processing you could use for virtual machines and other fun stuff :D | 23:38 |
| KM0201 | Ned1: did you ever use gnome 2.x? | 23:38 |
| Ned1 | I have a regular 2GHz cpu and 1GB ram and I notice totem and flash player is very heavy on the system | 23:38 |
| wxl | sweet | 23:38 |
| wxl | i got a 1.5ghz laptop | 23:38 |
| wxl | screaming | 23:38 |
| Ned1 | no, not yet | 23:39 |
| KM0201 | Ned1: if you had never used gnome 2.x (gnome 3 sucks as bad, if not worse than, unity).. then that explains why you like Unity.. | 23:39 |
| KM0201 | LXDE saved me... cuz i'd ahve had to go Xfce, and i didn't really want to do that | 23:39 |
| Ned1 | yes, 1.5 can be all fine, even with the latest. It does depend upon other specs in the cpu. Not sure how it works | 23:39 |
| Ned1 | in all the disassembling I might have ruined wires and connectors, darn I thought I was careful | 23:41 |
| Ned1 | I my mind a notebook should preferably run for 10 years without hard ware failure | 23:42 |
| Ned1 | I am afraid sellers and makers wants us to update ever three years or so | 23:42 |
| Ned1 | which is just a way to keep the money flowing | 23:43 |
| Ned1 | back later ; ) | 23:44 |
