LegojoeyDoes anyone think they can help me out? A fresh install of Lubuntu on a computer and it's unable or won't connect to a wired network.00:55
KM0201won'tconnect to a wired network?01:01
KM0201i wouldn't really have any idea how to trouble shoot that, has it worked on other versions of linux?01:02
LegojoeyYeah although last time I used the computer being talked about was a year ago.01:10
LegojoeyI've tried stopping /ect/init.d/networking and it said there was no service, may give a go at reinstall cause looking at stuff that should be there =/01:10

wxlso let's assume i have two distros installed on separate partitions of the same drive. can i copy the UUID for swap fom the other distro and use it in /etc/fstab and all is well? cuz it don't seem to be working.05:05
JohnDoe_71Rusi think its already done05:06
JohnDoe_71Ruseven livecd find swap on hdd05:06
wxlwell i installed lubuntu then mint and when i did the latter i didn't reuse swap and happened to notice that there was no swap, so i set it up.. and now don't have any swap in lubuntu05:07
cleaninstalli stepped in the middle, you have no swap partition?05:10
cleaninstallor lub just doesnt see it05:11
JohnDoe_71Ruswxl: check this /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume05:11
JohnDoe_71Rusneed uuid swap05:11
JohnDoe_71Rusafter sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r)05:12
cleaninstalldid you use whole drive in install?  (read a bug about whole drive and swap)05:12
wxlJohnDoe_71Rus: run that by me a little slower this time so i know what i'm looking at :D05:24
JohnDoe_71Russwap record in .../resume need for sleep and hibernate05:27

l33_lubuntu shows wrong and outdated files on usb memory sticks in the filemanager - when using midnightcommander in a shell, the correct files arte09:26
l33_listed09:26
leszekl33_: did you refresh the view in the filemanager ?09:37
l33_yes sure09:39
l33_also formatted ste stick09:39
l33_formatted even the mbr /guid09:39
l33_no chance - still the outdated files are listed09:40
l33_being thankfull i dont want to yearn about any little minor buggy bug - but this seems serious09:41
leszekl33_: hmm.. are you sure you unmounted the filesystem ?09:47
leszekl33_: make sure to unmount and mount it properly by hand.09:47
l33_yes09:47
l33_i do09:47
l33_otherwise i cant format the usb stick with the disc utility09:47
leszekthats very strange09:47
leszekis it a special usb stick(i.e. u3) or a normal one09:48
l33_yes09:54
l33_its a shitty sandisk i guess with u309:54
l33_with U309:54
leszekl33_: then it might be the problem09:55
leszekI really recommened you to try removing the u3 part and test this behavior again09:56
l33_yes, but how?09:56
leszekl33_: with the u3-tool (download this package)09:56
l33_i do so09:57
l33_and if you like i will give you short info about the progress09:57
leszek:)09:57
l33_i need a good corsair stick i know09:57
leszekthe command for removing the cd partition (u3 part) should be09:57
leszeku3-tool -p 0 /dev/<yourstick>09:58
l33_aaa09:58
l33_k09:58
leszekyou need to execute this as root09:58

TabmowHow can I install lubuntu on my oneirc ubuntu installation?10:07
leszeksudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop10:08
TabmowDoesn't work for me...10:08
TabmowSays there is no package10:08
bioterrorsudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends10:09
l33_or just install lxde..so you wont install all the stuff you probably wont need10:12
bioterrorthen he should install lubuntu-core10:12
bioterrorright?10:13
l33_i would then install just lxde10:14
l33_dont get me wrong -  i am using lubuntu here and i like it10:21
l33_but on an installed ubuntu i would just install the lxde ....10:22
chrstphrhrthi there, I did the minimal install but grub failed to be installed. anyone run into this before?14:14
chrstphrhrtwanting to get to just lubuntu-core14:14

goliatHi. I'm having problems playing higher quality videos on the Internet, like youtube. Im getting lag on the videos. Can it be flashplayer acting up?17:20
wxlgoliat: tried html5?17:29
goliatwxl:How can i try that?17:47
wxlgoliat: https://www.youtube.com/html517:48
goliatwxl: Doesn't seem to help. I have lag when i play 720p18:04
goliatwxl: Im thinking it i'm getting lag because flashplayer is the 32-bit version. Could it help if i tried getting 64-bit flash player?18:12
wxlgoliat: not sure but i'd give it a try18:12
KM0201why are you using 32bit fash on a 64bit OS?18:18
goliatKM0201: I think it gets installed by standard. Or is there any way i can check the version?18:40
KM0201um, i think you can open a browser and :about18:40
KM0201woops, i mean  about:18:41
bioterrorgsus :D18:41
KM0201?18:41
bioterrorapt-cache show flashplugin |more18:42
bioterrorfor example18:42
wxljesus = gsus?18:42
KM0201yeah18:42
bioterrorshould tell you are you using i686 or amd6418:42
KM0201oh, i always forget about apt-cache18:42
wxlapt-cache = my friend18:44
wxli have found the easiest way way to get version # is apt-cache policy package18:44
wxlwell, the way that returns the least amount of crap you on't need :D18:45
goliatOk i did "apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer" which gave me "Version table:18:48
goliat *** 11.0.1.152ubuntu1 018:48
goliat        500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/multiverse amd64 Packages"18:48
goliatand im running core 2 duo btw18:48
wxlwhy is that not i686?18:51
* wxl is not running 64 so is not of great help here, just using logic18:51
goliatwxl: should it be that? is i686 intels 64-bit architecture?18:53
wxlyep18:53
wxlamd is amd not intel18:53
bioterrorAMD got first into 64bit18:54
bioterrori686 = i68618:55
goliatcould the issue with my lagging youtube be that im running the amd64 packages?18:55
wxlthat's always a variable to remove in troubleshooting18:55
bioterrorgoliat, no18:56
wxl(or not)18:56
goliatbioterror: Ive had this problem on fedora but the problem there was that the 32-bit flash was installed and fixed it by changing to the 64-bit. So now im just confused why i cant play youtube in 720 properly :P18:58
bioterrorgoliat, can you play anything on vimeo?19:20
bioterroras vimeo is more demanding19:20
goliatbioterror: im trying it now19:24
goliatbioterror: I just played a movie with HD on. no lag at all or I've picked a movie that isnt really HD :S19:28
goliatIt is HD and it runs smooth19:31
goliatwhat is the quality on a HD video on vimeo bioterror? 720?19:32
bioterrorgoliat, somethin like that, I assume20:00
bioterrorgoliat, but the quality on vimeo is a lot better than on youtube20:00
goliatbioterror: Ok. Strange thought that i can watch a vimeo hd video when it is more demanding than a youtube clip. And i cant play 720 on youtube.20:02
bioterrorsounds like youtube is lagging or something?20:03
goliatYeah. but it's flash player running the videos in youtube right? thats why ive been thinking it's flash acting up20:11
goliatbut flash player is running the videos on vimeo to so im confused.20:16
goliatbioterror: Im not sure but could enabling direct rendering solve my issue perhaps?20:31
goliatbioterror: nvm direct rendering on.20:40
bioterrorgoliat, does it work then?20:43
goliatbioterror: no, its been on since beginning so it doesnt matter it seems20:43

KM0201imagebin21:55
KM0201http://imagebin.org/?page=add21:55
KM0201has anyone noticed that Gnomebaker is no longer in the ubuntu repos?  kinda sad, it's a good cd/dvd burning app22:13
bodhi_zazenKM0201: I hated gnomebaker, always made coasters for me22:42
bodhi_zazenxfburn FTW !!!22:42
KM0201bodhi_zazen: just the opposite for me, i never ever had issues w/ gnomebaker, and really liked it22:43
KM0201i hate xfburn22:43
KM0201guess i'll try brasero22:43
bodhi_zazenk3b ?22:45
KM0201i like k3b, but the thought of installing all thoe kde libs scares me22:46
bodhi_zazenWhy ? do you have a small hard drive ?22:46
KM0201no22:46
KM0201have plenty of hard drive space22:46
bodhi_zazenso go for k3b then, it does not pull in all of kde22:47
KM0201i just checked, if i install k3b, i will have to install 217mb worth of dependencies22:47
KM0201no thanks22:47
bodhi_zazenuse cdrecord then22:48
KM0201i can tell you're not really getting the whole point of this conversation.22:49
bodhi_zazenI do not understand why 217 mb of dependencies is a problem22:49
bodhi_zazenbandwidth ?22:49
bodhi_zazenhard drive space ?22:50
KM0201like i said, i don't really think you get it.22:53
bodhi_zazenIf you explain the problem, we might have a better solution22:57
bodhi_zazen217 mb of dependencies for a functional, full featured burner seems quite reasonable22:58
