[06:05] hey guys! [06:05] why does lubuntu have a photo manager? [06:06] I'd recommend Shotwell. Its simple fairly lightweight. also it is Desktop independent so doesn't require a ton of gnome specific libraries. [06:07] you mean, why doesnt it? [06:07] could be that its assumed you might use a web service [06:07] not sure... i peronally hadnt missed it yet [06:08] its challenging to please everyone... but i would say file a bug about it [06:08] those are taken seriously [06:08] we have soon software suggestions for next spin [06:08] join mailing list and take part [06:09] okay [06:10] well most linux distros come with a photo manager and most people have some time of photo taking device. [06:10] kind* [06:10] http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/shotwell [06:10] I know that you can't have everything I just thought to add [06:11] its *so* small and light too... i appreciate that [06:11] light but slick looking [06:11] yes it is nice looking [06:11] it runs fast for uploading photos on my point in shoot [06:11] filemanager is my photomanager :D [06:11] I can right click image and edit it with GIMP ) [06:11] ;) [06:12] true [06:12] yeah, i just put them in a directory [06:12] yeah [06:12] but its nice to have an app to organize it [06:12] i dont like/need the bigger music organizers either [06:12] year/month/day/ [06:12] yeah I don't like those [06:12] that's how I do it [06:12] I like the music app provided with lubuntu [06:13] the other players have way too much features and plugins slows the player down and makes it complexed to use [06:13] lubuntu214, I'm sure that the lubuntu community is eager to hear how that application performs with pentium II devices ;) [06:13] well I am not sure about those devices [06:14] application is acceptable if it doesnt take any cpu or ram [06:14] most people don't have those anymore and you can get donated pcs with much better cpus [06:14] hahaha [06:14] you really have not been in here for long [06:14] freegeekchicago.org [06:15] either way, its nice having something light *and* modern [06:15] yeah [06:15] I love lubuntu [06:15] if you need shotwell, you can install it [06:15] just like any application [06:15] yeah I know [06:15] I just thought to suggest [06:16] well I already know to use the bug reports and other things which I can better prepare my argument and conclusion. [06:16] no devels here atm. use mailing list ;) [06:16] okay [06:17] even if you have a fast PC I still prefer a lightweight desktop cause its super fast [06:17] but be prepared for people demanding benchmarks [06:17] hates slowness [06:18] getting a 1gb ram upgrade soon hopefully lubuntu will be even faster! [06:18] 2gb ram total! [06:18] !! [06:18] you can grab 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 from me for 15 euros [06:19] sorry buddy my laptop doesn't take that [06:19] I already paid for it on amazon [06:19] my laptop takes pc2700 max is 1gb [06:20] these dell's sucks, 2GB is max [06:20] I should downgrade that 64bit to 32bit [06:20] you think it matters as much on a server bioterror ? [06:20] the 64bit on 2gb of ram? [06:20] desktop usage [06:21] Dell D420 and D430 has limited it to max 2GB [06:21] crappy chipset that is [06:21] that blows [06:21] i forget what i have but its got 2gb's of ram, and i did 64bit CLI only install [06:21] seems OK so far [06:21] couple weeks [06:21] probably a way to force you to spend more [06:22] so you can the ones that don't have that limit [06:22] put 64bit CPU, limit RAM to 2GB :D [06:23] larger address space has it's benefits and cons [06:23] what's the ram limit for 64bit? [06:24] 12301923+12893901289381923 :D [06:24] my laptop is limited to 2gb [06:24] but that's because it is 32bit [06:24] 32bit is ~3GB [06:24] if I remember correctly 32bit's limit is 32bit [06:24] oh okay [06:24] well its my chipset then [06:26] do 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] 1.6ghz with 2gb ram [06:26] I'd presume it'd work on lubuntu for sure but hell no on windows [06:26] with that hardware [06:27] I dunno, I have one microsoft webcam there for my wife [06:27] but never used it [06:27] oh I see [06:27] my phone can record 720p video [06:27] watch out your wife could have secret skype boyfriends! [06:28] just joking... [06:28] teasin' yea bro! [06:28] last time I checked, she didnt have skype account nor skype installed ;) [09:25] Hey 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? === johnny is now known as Guest60407 === Guest60407 is now known as johnnyzero === OneKorea_ is now known as OneKorea [13:30] hi. [13:31] anyone running lubuntu on a pentium 4 2.4ghz or similar? [14:14] hi [15:13] if you have hp all in one printer. you need hplip installed to use scanner. printer works fine without hplip [16:41] re [18:28] Hi 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 ? [18:34] You installed it to a flash drive? You needed to use a tool like unetbootin and enable persistant mode [18:34] persistent [18:36] I used unetbootin and created a usb , where I ran the install and onto an sd card .. [18:37] You installed onto an SD card, for that one computer I'd hope? [18:38] No I was hoping to use the sd card on multiple computers , Does it not work like that? [18:38] Not really [18:39] For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [18:40] Even a tool for it ! Great [18:40] Are you using windows to make it? [18:41] no Ubuntu [18:44] Thanks will try that need to close irssi to umount /mnt === mre is now known as Guest66437 === Guest66437 is now known as jellow === aemaeth is now known as Guest26082 [20:10] greetings 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 disconnects [20:11] any ideas how to fix this? [20:12] does it loose link or something else? [20:12] how did you share it? [20:14] went to network connections edit and shared to other computers on the normal ubuntu this worked [20:14] but for lubuntu 11.10 it seems to be connecting and disconnnecting slowing down if not halting networking for the other computer [20:16] oh 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 back [20:24] nvm problem solved with the shared connection [20:24] but i still need that avahi discovery daemon [22:02] hello guys [22:03] 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? [22:05] Timo_: sounds like a hardware issue [22:05] xsaidx: sup [22:06] 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] or something like that anyways [22:06] But the odd thing is, I looked the laptop (Dell Latitude E5400) up on the internet, and it gave good reviews for linux [22:07] stlsaint: 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] and the Live CD works like a charm, running from the USB is already really fast :) [22:13] stlsaint: a 'hardware issue', does that mean my hardware is broken, or that the hardware is unsupported? [22:17] mm I found out why the wubi didn't work..I'm gonna try it via wubi again...hope it will work :) [22:31] I hope that this will hope! It would be a bummer if it wouldn't work...I really want my dad to learn linux :D [22:40] Wauw! I installed Lubuntu through wubi, and now I start up in a Ubuntu 11.10 distro [22:40] that's super weird [22:41] How can that ever happen :D I took the Lubuntu 64 bit cd, and now it installed Ubuntu, how the hell can that happen?:D [22:46] well, 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 anyway [22:52] Myrtti: I know, but installing it the normal way doesn't work... :( [23:14] oh well
