lubuntu214hey guys!06:05
lubuntu214why does lubuntu have a photo manager?06:05
lubuntu214I'd recommend Shotwell. Its simple fairly lightweight. also it is Desktop independent so doesn't require a ton of gnome specific libraries.06:06
holsteinyou mean, why doesnt it?06:07
holsteincould be that its assumed you might use a web service06:07
holsteinnot sure... i peronally hadnt missed it yet06:07
holsteinits challenging to please everyone... but i would say file a bug about it06:08
holsteinthose are taken seriously06:08
bioterrorwe have soon software suggestions for next spin06:08
bioterrorjoin mailing list and take part06:08
lubuntu214okay06:09
lubuntu214well most linux distros come with a photo manager and most people have some time of photo taking device.06:10
lubuntu214kind*06:10
bioterrorhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/shotwell06:10
lubuntu214I know that you can't have everything I just thought to add06:10
holsteinits *so* small and light too... i appreciate that06:11
holsteinlight but slick looking06:11
lubuntu214yes it is nice looking06:11
lubuntu214it runs fast for uploading photos on my point in shoot06:11
bioterrorfilemanager is my photomanager :D06:11
bioterrorI can right click image and edit it with GIMP )06:11
bioterror;)06:11
lubuntu214true06:12
holsteinyeah, i just put them in a directory06:12
bioterroryeah06:12
lubuntu214but its nice to have an app to organize it06:12
holsteini dont like/need the bigger music organizers either06:12
bioterroryear/month/day/06:12
lubuntu214yeah I don't like those06:12
bioterrorthat's how I do it06:12
lubuntu214I like the music app provided with lubuntu06:12
lubuntu214the other players have way too much features and plugins slows the player down and makes it complexed to use06:13
bioterrorlubuntu214, I'm sure that the lubuntu community is eager to hear how that application performs with pentium II devices ;)06:13
lubuntu214well I am not sure about those devices06:13
bioterrorapplication is acceptable if it doesnt take any cpu or ram06:14
lubuntu214most people don't have those anymore and you can get donated pcs with much better cpus06:14
bioterrorhahaha06:14
bioterroryou really have not been in here for long06:14
lubuntu214freegeekchicago.org06:14
holsteineither way, its nice having something light *and* modern06:15
lubuntu214yeah06:15
lubuntu214I love lubuntu06:15
bioterrorif you need shotwell, you can install it06:15
bioterrorjust like any application06:15
lubuntu214yeah I know06:15
lubuntu214I just thought to suggest06:15
lubuntu214well I already know to use the bug reports and other things which I can better prepare my argument and conclusion.06:16
bioterrorno devels here atm. use mailing list ;)06:16
lubuntu214okay06:16
lubuntu214even if you have a fast PC I still prefer a lightweight desktop cause its super fast06:17
bioterrorbut be prepared for people demanding benchmarks06:17
lubuntu214hates slowness06:17
lubuntu214getting a 1gb ram upgrade soon hopefully lubuntu will be even faster!06:18
lubuntu2142gb ram total!06:18
bioterror!!06:18
bioterroryou can grab 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 from me for 15 euros06:18
lubuntu214sorry buddy my laptop doesn't take that06:19
lubuntu214I already paid for it on amazon06:19
lubuntu214my laptop takes pc2700 max is 1gb06:19
bioterrorthese dell's sucks, 2GB is max06:20
bioterrorI should downgrade that 64bit to 32bit06:20
holsteinyou think it matters as much on a server bioterror ?06:20
holsteinthe 64bit on 2gb of ram?06:20
bioterrordesktop usage06:20
bioterrorDell D420 and D430 has limited it to max 2GB06:21
bioterrorcrappy chipset that is06:21
lubuntu214that blows06:21
holsteini forget what i have but its got 2gb's of ram, and i did 64bit CLI only install06:21
holsteinseems OK so far06:21
holsteincouple weeks06:21
lubuntu214probably a way to force you to spend more06:21
lubuntu214so you can the ones that don't have that limit06:22
bioterrorput 64bit CPU, limit RAM to 2GB :D06:22
bioterrorlarger address space has it's benefits and cons06:23
lubuntu214what's the ram limit for 64bit?06:23
bioterror12301923+12893901289381923 :D06:24
lubuntu214my laptop is limited to 2gb06:24
lubuntu214but that's because it is 32bit06:24
bioterror32bit is ~3GB06:24
lubuntu214if I remember correctly 32bit's limit is 32bit06:24
lubuntu214oh okay06:24
lubuntu214well its my chipset then06:24
lubuntu214do you really need dual core to use HD webcams on lubuntu if you have the ram requires just not the dual core part?06:26
lubuntu2141.6ghz with 2gb ram06:26
lubuntu214I'd presume it'd work on lubuntu for sure but hell no on windows06:26
lubuntu214with that hardware06:26
bioterrorI dunno, I have one microsoft webcam there for my wife06:27
bioterrorbut never used it06:27
lubuntu214oh I see06:27

bioterrorlast time I checked, she didnt have skype account nor skype installed ;)06:28
johnnyzeroHey guys I have a question. How can I fix the default session of Lubuntu? I tried to mess around with the start menu and I screwed it up. Now it only contains the logout choice with no categories. Yet in the other sessions, the menu appears normal. How do I fix this?09:25

jellowHi there I've just installed lubuntu onto a usb stick , Though grub is messed up how do I re-install it and stop it probing my other non-related hds ?18:28
Unit193You installed it to a flash drive? You needed to use a tool like unetbootin and enable persistant mode18:34
Unit193persistent18:34
jellowI used unetbootin and created a usb , where I ran the install and onto an sd card ..18:36
Unit193You installed onto an SD card, for that one computer I'd hope?18:37
jellowNo I was hoping to use the sd card on multiple computers , Does it not work like that?18:38
Unit193Not really18:38
Unit193For a persistent live USB install, see:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent18:39
jellowEven a tool for it ! Great18:40
Unit193Are you using windows to make it?18:40
jellowno Ubuntu18:41
jellowThanks will try that need to close irssi to umount /mnt18:44

witedsgreetings i have a question and an issue when i try to share internet to another lubuntu computer my connection on the host to that ethernet port constantly connects and disconnects20:10
witedsany ideas how to fix this?20:11
bioterrordoes it loose link or something else?20:12
bioterrorhow did you share it?20:12
witedswent to network connections edit and shared to other computers on the normal ubuntu this worked20:14
witedsbut for lubuntu 11.10 it seems to be connecting and disconnnecting slowing down if not halting networking for the other computer20:14
witedsoh also my ahavi network discovery deamon keeps getting shut off du to my isp's router running linux and having a .local name could this be contributing and when i remove the disabler script it comes back20:16
witedsnvm problem solved with the shared connection20:24
witedsbut i still need that avahi discovery daemon20:24
xsaidxhello guys22:02
Timo_hey lads, I'm trying to install Linux on my fathers laptop, but it keeps crashing in the installer when moving to the partitioner. I've tried: Linux Mint 9 & 11 64 bit, Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit, Lubuntu 11.10 64 bit and Minimal install 64 bit, anyone knows what this could be?22:03
stlsaintTimo_: sounds like a hardware issue22:05
stlsaintxsaidx: sup22:05
Timo_stlsaint: that's what I thought. I also tried installing it through Windows, with the wubi installer and that failed because 'windows iso backend was unkown'22:06
Timo_or something like that anyways22:06
Timo_But the odd thing is, I looked the laptop (Dell Latitude E5400) up on the internet, and it gave good reviews for linux22:06
xsaidxstlsaint: fine thanks and you ,, i ve got a question how to re-split the screen in a screen session for ex i split it to 3 sceens how can i go back to only 2 screens ??22:07
Timo_and the Live CD works like a charm, running from the USB is already really fast :)22:07
Timo_stlsaint: a 'hardware issue', does that mean my hardware is broken, or that the hardware is unsupported?22:13
Timo_mm I found out why the wubi didn't work..I'm gonna try it via wubi again...hope it will work :)22:17
Timo_I hope that this will hope! It would be a bummer if it wouldn't work...I really want my dad to learn linux :D22:31
Timo_Wauw! I installed Lubuntu through wubi, and now I start up in a Ubuntu 11.10 distro22:40
Timo_that's super weird22:40
Timo_How can that ever happen :D I took the Lubuntu 64 bit cd, and now it installed Ubuntu, how the hell can that happen?:D22:41
Myrttiwell, if you're planning to leave the installation to be used for more than a few weeks, wubi isn't the option I'd recommend anyway22:46
Timo_Myrtti: I know, but installing it the normal way doesn't work... :(22:52
Myrttioh well23:14
