| lubuntu214 | I have limited space so I like to keep things clean. 10gb for lubuntu's system files and 28gb for home. | 00:00 |

| lubuntu214 | after awhile junk files can take up a lot of space | 00:01 |
| phillw | lubuntu214: If you are using command line to alter the system, then you are pretty much on your own. | 00:01 |
| lubuntu214 | some things I do | 00:01 |
| lubuntu214 | like removing all unused kernels except for currently used one | 00:01 |
| lubuntu214 | I have a script for that | 00:02 |
| phillw | lubuntu214: always keep the last one..... | 00:02 |
| lubuntu214 | yes I know | 00:02 |

| iamfennec | i used gpart to resize the windows partition (made it smaller) and i want to make the lubuntu partition bigger | 06:04 |
| iamfennec | ok | 06:04 |

| joesepp | HI! I would like to install russian phonetic keyboard layout. How could I do this? | 10:04 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | joesepp: why you need russian phonetic key? | 10:05 |
| joesepp | because I'm a russian language learner :) not familiar with the standard layout | 10:06 |
| joesepp | JohnDoe_71Rus: Can you help me? | 10:06 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | i think in language settings or keyboard settings | 10:07 |

| gage_bw | Hi all. I'm about to install lubuntu from a USB stick, but I have a 4GB drive, and might need the 'alternate' version. How is the alternate version different? | 14:41 |
| gage_bw | What programs are missing? | 14:41 |
| gage_bw | There's a good chance it's nothing I wanted anyway | 14:42 |
| gage_bw | Also, is there any reason not to go with 11.10? | 14:46 |
| croque | gage_bw: AFAIK the programs installed are the same, it's only the installation process that is different. | 14:48 |
| gage_bw | Oh, it takes much less than 4GB on the disk, doesn't it? | 14:48 |
| gage_bw | That's good news | 14:48 |
| gage_bw | What about "installs on systems with less than about 384MiB of RAM " ? | 14:49 |
| gage_bw | Is that the amount required by the installer? | 14:49 |
| gage_bw | What I really mean by that question is "Does the alternate installer really just install differently?" | 14:51 |
| * gage_bw starts download of alternate | 14:51 | |
| Gege71 | hello, in LXDE appearance / window decoration, i don't have any preview in the right part of windows, could you confirm that ? | 14:51 |
| croque | gage_bw: That's my understanding. The alternate install also has a few other options (luks full disk encryption, etc.) | 14:52 |
| gage_bw | croque: Neat. Thanks. | 14:52 |
| audio | Hi, I'm making this post from an old laptop running 11.10 via a cabled connection. | 15:19 |
| audio | This machine uses PCMCIA card for wireless | 15:20 |
| audio | How to enable it? | 15:20 |
| brother- | lspci and see if it is discovered by the kernel. if not you have to work out what driver is missing | 15:21 |
| audio | The card is recognised by the system OK using System Information-->Network Interfaces as wifio and wlan1 | 15:27 |
| audio | lspci reports only CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI4410 PC card Cardbus Controller (rev 02) | 15:27 |
| iamfennec | audio have you made sure that your simplally network enabled? in the pannal itself | 15:33 |
| iamfennec | i know mind tends to somehow unclick that box from time to time | 15:33 |
| audio | iamfennec: Yup, its ticked | 15:35 |
| audio | but cannot connect as the option is greyed out | 15:36 |
| iamfennec | hmmm | 15:37 |
| audio | wireless networking is working just fine when I use a USB NIC adaptor | 15:37 |
| audio | the PCMCIA card is getting power but no connection | 15:38 |
| iamfennec | thats werid because i'm useing a wirless pcmcia card as well no prob | 15:38 |
| audio | does additional firmware need to be installed? | 15:39 |
| audio | Perhaps I need a specific driver as was suggested by brother | 15:39 |
| brother- | audio: most probably | 15:41 |
| brother- | what vendor and model of the card do you have? | 15:41 |
| audio | brother-: its a Sitecom WN-PCC-01 | 15:43 |
| audio | Also have D-Link DWL-650+ but have not tested this one yet | 15:45 |
| brother- | doesn't really look promising. some hacks with using the windows drivers might be a solution | 15:49 |
| brother- | haven't done those things the last years so I can not really help you but the general process is the same as for any such driver. google will help if noone else here can | 15:50 |
| audio | brother-: are you referring to ndis wrapper? | 15:50 |
| brother- | yes | 15:51 |
| audio | OK, but I am fairly sure that a Linux native driver exists for the Sitecom as I have seen it working without NDIS Wrapper is a different distro | 15:53 |
| audio | It might have been Tiny Core or antiX-M11 | 15:55 |
| audio | I was just hoping that 11.10 would support them out-of-the-box as it as the distro is aimed at old kit and PCMCIA is old technology. | 15:56 |
| audio | *as it is aimed at old kit | 15:57 |
| kulus | hi all | 16:06 |
| kulus | I want to install lubuntu 11.10 64-bit to my netbook | 16:07 |
| kulus | I'm afraid of overwriting my recovery partition or causing win 7 starter to stop working | 16:07 |
| kulus | any suggestions? | 16:07 |
| kulus | i'm using a usb stick to install from | 16:09 |
| brother- | overwrite it and get more space on your new and shiny lubuntu setup. | 16:09 |
| brother- | good luck! | 16:09 |
| brother- | =) | 16:09 |
| brother- | there are no shortcuts. you must know what partition the recovery data is located on. | 16:10 |
| kulus | unfortuneately some programs still only work in windows | 16:10 |
| kulus | plus I need windows 7 for a job | 16:10 |
| brother- | a POSSIBLE way wuld be to boot and inspect the partitions and when you know what files are on what partition you are ready to go ahead | 16:10 |
| kulus | will default settings work? | 16:10 |
| kulus | would partitioning the windows main drive from windows help | 16:11 |
| kulus | and then I could just install in the empty space | 16:12 |
| kulus | windows 7 is already defragged | 16:13 |
| kulus | brother - is there a site with suggestions for an install in my situation that you know of...have you ever heard of anyone having problems with this setup before? | 16:14 |
| kulus | sorry if I'm asking too many questions... | 16:15 |
| brother- | kulus: no idea. | 16:15 |
| kulus | thanks for your help | 16:16 |
| kulus | I'm going to research a bit on the net | 16:16 |
| kulus | thanks again... | 16:16 |
| osmodivs | Hello. I have a Acer ONE D250 Netbook, after an upgrade in the upgrade manager, I cant boot to Lubuntu (11.10), I am in recovery mode, What can I do to repair this? | 16:33 |
| bioterror | and what does it say? | 16:33 |
| gage_bw | can't boot in what way, osmodivs ? | 16:34 |
| bioterror | !boot-repair | 16:35 |
| bioterror | I hate that bot | 16:35 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 16:35 |
| bioterror | !bootrepair | 16:35 |
| osmodivs | Boot as in, get IN Lubuntu, there is only the Lubuntu bootsplash image, and it just stays there "loading" | 16:36 |
| gage_bw | sounds like what happened to me with xubuntu yesterday. =( | 16:36 |
| bioterror | here we go | 16:37 |
| bioterror | more info | 16:37 |
| bioterror | that sounds more like you have problems with graphics, I think | 16:37 |
| bioterror | when it hangs in the bootsplash, can you go to tty1? | 16:37 |
| bioterror | for example | 16:37 |
| gage_bw | sigh | 16:54 |
| gage_bw | "No valid ubuntu cd-rom" | 16:55 |
| gage_bw | I'm disappointed at the lack of useful feedback on this error message, too. (not that it's relevant here) | 16:57 |
| osmodivs | Nah, that boot repair didn't fix it. What could be wrong with my system, is there a way to find out reading a log or something? | 16:58 |
| bioterror | Thu18:37 <bioterror> when it hangs in the bootsplash, can you go to tty1? | 16:58 |
| osmodivs | I see I am not the only one with this problem | 17:00 |
| bioterror | can you go to the tty1? | 17:00 |
| bioterror | yes or no | 17:01 |
| osmodivs | bioterror: i'll asume you are talking to me, yes. | 17:02 |
| osmodivs | bioterror: Well i guess, thats always possible | 17:02 |
| bioterror | you can try for example: sudo service lxdm start | 17:03 |
| osmodivs | bioterror: Is that gonna get me to Lubuntu or LXDE, because right now I am in the default session, wich does not let me even browse a USB pendrive since "I am not authorized" | 17:05 |
| bioterror | it will start lxdm | 17:06 |
| bioterror | I'm interested in errors | 17:06 |
| gage_bw | Hey again, all | 17:12 |
| gage_bw | Using unetbootin to install, I get 'Install' and 'Install Lubuntu' options. What's up with that? | 17:12 |
| osmodivs | Well, let me try that and see what happens | 17:12 |
| aLeSD | hi all | 17:17 |
| aLeSD | is there something lighter than banshee ? | 17:17 |
| Osmodivs | bioterror: i'm in Lubuntu. why did this happened? | 17:17 |
| Osmodivs | bioterror: Am I gonna have to do this everytime I try to enter Lubuntu? | 17:18 |
| bioterror | I dont know | 17:18 |
| bioterror | look for /var/log/ | 17:19 |
| bioterror | there's Xorg.0.log | 17:19 |
| bioterror | and messages | 17:19 |
| bioterror | and something else | 17:19 |
| bioterror | look for errors | 17:19 |

| VITAL1051 | Hello everybody! Is it possible to set different walls on each desktop in lubuntu 11.10? I searched in web, but found nothing. | 17:50 |
| brother- | VITAL1051: not with pcmanfm as the wallpaper displayer. you can probably use some other tool to show the wallpaper and achieve that | 17:59 |
| Kutakizukari | I used the Synaptic Software Manager to do a full removal of Chromium because it freezes, when I install it again to get rid of the plugins they are still there. How do I remove fully so when I install it again the plugins will no longer be there? | 18:03 |
| Kutakizukari | Synaptic Software Manger = Synaptic Package Manager | 18:03 |
| VITAL1051 | brother-: Is there something lightweight? I think it must be from xfce. Or something else? | 18:04 |
| brother- | Kutakizukari: remove the chromium directory in .config | 18:04 |
| brother- | VITAL1051: the keyword was "probably" | 18:04 |
| brother- | VITAL1051: I have no idea how to do such a thing. maybe someone else in here knows. if not you have to search in other places | 18:05 |
| gage_bw | Hm, I'll ask again: Using unetbootin to install, I get 'Install' AND 'Install Lubuntu' options. What's up with that? | 18:05 |
| VITAL1051 | brother-: Thanks) | 18:05 |
| gage_bw | I wouldn't bother asking if I wasn't already having problems with installation - just want to make sure that everything is right | 18:05 |
| Kutakizukari | brother-, where do I find that directory? | 18:10 |
| Kutakizukari | found it | 18:12 |

| ScottyK | Greetings! I have Ubuntu 11.10 on my kids computer. can anyone recommend a good program that will track time on the computer, and kick them off after set time has been reached? Thanks.. | 23:04 |
| ScottyK | make that Lubuntu 11.10 | 23:04 |
| wxl | ScottyK: i think you already got what you need http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/en/man5/timeouts.5.html | 23:07 |
| wxl | ScottyK: there's also timekpr but its not in canonical's repos https://launchpad.net/timekpr | 23:08 |
| ScottyK | wxl - thanks for the links, I'll check them out! | 23:09 |
| wxl | ScottyK: please let us know how it all works out | 23:10 |
| wxl | i for one would really like to know | 23:10 |
| ScottyK | their webpage says timekpr is no longer being updated. | 23:10 |
| ScottyK | might have better luck with the first one | 23:11 |
| wxl | i don't think qimo includes time limits | 23:11 |
| wxl | have you seen the ubuntu distro for kids? | 23:11 |
| ScottyK | qimo? | 23:12 |
| ScottyK | several years ago.. forgot about it! | 23:12 |
| wxl | qimo4kids.com | 23:12 |
| wxl | it's not lubuntu tho | 23:12 |
| ScottyK | i like Lubuntu on hte kids computer because it's older hardware, | 23:12 |
| ScottyK | I tried Kubuntu and Ubuntu 11.10, and the hardware couldn't handle it | 23:12 |
| ScottyK | but so far Lubuntu has been breezing alsong | 23:13 |
| wxl | interesting | 23:13 |
| wxl | the qimo bits are into the ubuntu repos http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=qimo | 23:13 |
| wxl | it doesn't look like it's requesting a bunch of gnome garbage | 23:14 |
| wxl | xfce might work | 23:14 |
| wxl | and you could probably lubuntize it | 23:14 |
| wxl | might take a little effort | 23:14 |
| wxl | of course like i said i don't think it has parental controls | 23:15 |
| wxl | in terms of timelimits | 23:15 |
| ScottyK | Can you recommed a distro that has parental controls built in, and runs on older hardware (Pentium 4 2.6 GHZ, 2gb RAM) | 23:16 |
| wxl | unfortunately i can't | 23:17 |
| wxl | lubuntu has been fantastic in dealing with old hardware | 23:17 |
| ScottyK | which is why it was recommended for the kids computer. | 23:18 |
| ScottyK | I think writing my own /etc/timeouts file it will accomplish what I want | 23:18 |
| wxl | yeah i think it's the right thing | 23:19 |
| wxl | oh and it has a warn too | 23:19 |
| wxl | nice | 23:19 |
| wxl | too bad there's no warnfreq | 23:20 |
| ScottyK | I use OpenDNS, and with a good /etc/hosts file it's pretty locked down. I like it | 23:21 |
| wxl | sounds like you know you're way around | 23:22 |
| wxl | /etc/timeouts will be no problem for you :D | 23:22 |
| wxl | i use dyndns's servers | 23:22 |
| ScottyK | thanks! What I really love about linux is that I can let my kids just have at it | 23:22 |
| ScottyK | I have enough old boxes laying around that they get to play on | 23:22 |
| wxl | i wish the g3 ppc powerbook i have had an intel chip | 23:23 |
| ScottyK | in fact they get annoyed when they go to thier friends houses and they only have windows | 23:23 |
| wxl | i'm gonna put linux (or possibly unix) on it and give it to my daughter but i know the #1 thing she'll complain about.. no flash :D | 23:23 |
| wxl | my daughter LOVES tux | 23:24 |
| ScottyK | yeah, my kids are all over the kids games! | 23:24 |
| ScottyK | right now the current favorite is super tux 2 | 23:24 |
| wxl | we used to have a beta of super tux 2 that had the forest world but last time we downloaded it wasn't there | 23:25 |
| wxl | so i don't knwo what's up with that and now i can't find the beta again which sucks royal | 23:25 |
| wxl | our new favourite is freegish | 23:25 |
| wxl | have you tried that???? | 23:25 |
| ScottyK | freegish? havn't heard of it. querying now... | 23:26 |
| wxl | oh it's awesome! | 23:26 |
| wxl | you're this ball of tar and it's this whole side-scroller physics puzzle game | 23:26 |
| wxl | it is utterly fantastic | 23:26 |
| wxl | i cannot WAIT to build some levels on that | 23:26 |
| wxl | and then there's the lemmings clone.. forgot the name | 23:27 |
| wxl | pingus | 23:27 |
| ScottyK | I'll have to add that one. my son will be all over it | 23:27 |
| ScottyK | pingus.. | 23:27 |
| ScottyK | Looks like they will like that one also! | 23:28 |
| ScottyK | dinnertime.. catch ya later... | 23:29 |
| wxl | see yuz | 23:29 |
