[04:17] <mamece2> hello i have a screen problem, lubuntu booting screen is fine but when i get to the desktop is all messed. vertical lines, i am now in a tty session, what can i do to fix this?
[04:18] <holstein> mamece2: i would try at boot time, after the language question... hit F6 (i believe it is) and try 'nomodeset'
[04:19] <mamece2> holstein: i already installed lubuntu in the HD
[04:20] <mamece2> holstein: i tried it in another pc, it looks fine, but when i install the HD in an older PC, the video gets messed
[04:21] <holstein> mamece2: you can try ^^ from the live CD you used to install... you can add a custom xorg.conf file...
[04:21] <mamece2> how can i custom it?
[04:22] <holstein> mamece2: with any text editor really
[04:22] <holstein> sometimes, i boot live CD's til something works, and then i look for an xorg.conf, and copy (steal) it
[04:22] <holstein> usually knoppix is that live CD
[04:23] <mamece2> ill try it
[04:23] <Unit193> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and stopping X, and running sudo x --configure gave a handy file
[04:24] <holstein> true.. i got one from there that worked well for me too ^^
[04:28] <mamece2> some advanced stuff there bros
[06:41] <calamari> hi
[06:49] <calamari> well I was about to ask a question but answered it myself, yay :) Turns out there is still a way to increase the max task width past the default, just not via the GUI anymore. Edit  ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel and change MaxTaskWidth=150 .. then kill/restart the panel
[06:49] <bioterror> does that affect on systray?
[06:50] <bioterror> for example laptop users has this xfce4-power-manager icon bug
[06:50] <calamari> oh, not sure, let me unplug my ac power
[06:50] <bioterror> that doesnt help
[06:50] <calamari> battery icon showed up
[06:50] <bioterror> you need to suspend and return from that state
[06:50] <bioterror> then that battery icon will move :-)
[06:51] <calamari> well I had it set to hide when plugged in
[06:51] <calamari> I guess I haven't gotten used to having a laptop yet, I always shut down lol
[06:51] <calamari> it only takes a few seconds to boot into lubuntu anyways
[06:54] <calamari> well I'll try suspend.. bbiam (hopefully)
[06:58] <calamari> well that didn't work.. couldn't figure out how to resume
[06:58] <bioterror> usually by pressing power button or lifting the lid up
[06:59] <calamari> yeah when I lifted the lid the screen turned on and I thought I saw a light on my usb keyboard change .. but it was frozen
[06:59] <calamari> no biggie
[13:14] <mamece2> hello i need some help. i have problems with my TRIDENT video card, in my old PC.
[13:23] <mamece2> please i need some help with the xorg.conf file
[14:16] <DanielSenat> Is there any point having CPUFreq frontend in the panel?
[14:21] <mamece2> maybe with conky iono
[14:22] <DanielSenat> ?
[14:22] <DanielSenat> What is that
[14:22] <DanielSenat> Will it make any difference in Lubuntu?
[14:31] <Minze> hi there, iam trying to get x11vnc into the Lubuntu-Startup, does anyone here know a sollution, as i didnt managed it
[14:31] <Minze> iam using 11.10
[14:33] <head_victim> Minze: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_in_to_Desktop
[14:33] <head_victim> I think that'
[14:33] <head_victim> s what you're chasing?
[14:33] <xsaidx> head_victim: you use git ?
[14:34] <head_victim> xsaidx: not really, I am your typical end user not really a dev
[14:35] <Minze> the problem is in 11.10 there isnt a folder called "/.config/autostart" do you think it works anyway?
[14:35] <head_victim> Minze: hmmm seems odd, maybe create it and see if it works.
[14:35] <head_victim> If it doesn't and no one else here can help I'd suggest asking on the mailing list :)
[14:35] <Minze> yep, trying :)
[14:36] <xsaidx> head_victim: ok ibtw if you meet phillw or bioterror or w.e can amke his hand on this channel tell em it wud be nice if they include that nice FAQ and that other lubuntu one stop thread when people get logged to this channel
[14:37] <head_victim> xsaid aww they left
[17:00] <Mr_EE1> hello
[17:00] <Mr_EE1> help me out with the tv card how to make it work on ubuntu11.10
[17:03] <ikonia> Mr_EE1: I told you what to do
[17:03] <ikonia> Mr_EE1: are you using lubuntu or ubuntu ?
[17:04] <Mr_EE1> ikonia:  lubuntu
[17:04] <ikonia> ok, it may help you in future to be clear, as you keep saying you're using ubuntu rather than lubuntu
[17:05] <ikonia> also, the instructions I gave you in ubuntu of checking the hardware compatability list for your device is still the first thing you need to do
[17:05] <Mr_EE1> ikonia: ok
[17:06] <Mr_EE1> ikonia: what you sended me?
[17:06] <ikonia> I've not sent you anything
[17:07] <Mr_EE1> so will you help me?
[17:07] <ikonia> I've told you what to do 3 times
[17:07] <ikonia> I've given you links and advice
[17:07] <ikonia> you need to start the process of checking if your card is supported under linux
[17:07] <ikonia> it is pointless to try to configure it if it's not
[17:08] <ikonia> so instead of wasting time, check the basics is your card supported under linux......lets check and find out
[17:08] <Mr_EE1> i was using fedora and it was supported in fedora
[17:08] <ikonia> what did you use in fedora ?
[17:09] <Mr_EE1> tv card
[17:09] <Mr_EE1> fedora13
[17:09] <ikonia> no, what software did you use in fedora to use it
[17:09] <Mr_EE1> xawtv
[17:09] <ikonia> that should also be available in ubuntu, as are others such as tvtime
[17:10] <Mr_EE1> ok i will check them
[17:10] <ikonia> install that software and configure it (as you did in fedora) and you should be fine
[17:10] <mark76> It's in debian so it'll be in Ubuntu
[17:10] <ikonia> Mr_EE1: next time if I spent 40 minutes trying to confirm if your card is supported, it maybe worth while telling me "it worked in Fedora 13"
[17:11] <Mr_EE1> ok thanks bro
[17:11] <ikonia> Mr_EE1: and if someone is helping you in 1 channel, joining another and asking the same question as if that help had not been given isn't the best approach
[17:12] <Mr_EE1> what is the best approach?
[17:13] <ikonia> Mr_EE1: giving as much information as possible
[17:13] <ikonia> eg: 1.) tell people you're using lubuntu instead of ubuntu
[17:13] <ikonia> 2.) if someone is asking you if the card is supported in linux and trying to explain to you how to check, tell them it works in fedora
[17:13] <ikonia> 3.) if someone has spent 40 minutes trying to help you, don't ignore their advice, join another channel and repeat the same question as if someone had not given you a lot of information
[17:13] <Mr_EE1> ok i see thanks man
[17:14] <Mr_EE1> i will learn alot
[17:29] <desertegl> hey everybody, quick question. im trying to install a minimalistic version of ubuntu 10.10 / lubuntu
[17:29] <desertegl> i still need a desktop
[17:29] <desertegl> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop says it will use roughly 600mb
[17:30] <desertegl> can i get away with sudo apt-get install lubuntu-core ?
[17:30] <desertegl> will my experience be greatly diminished by using the core only? will i even have a desktop?
[17:32] <bioterror> yes
[17:32] <bioterror> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-core --no-install-recommends
[17:33] <desertegl> 10-4, i'll have enough to get by though right? i am sort of new to ubuntu and linux/gnu in general
[17:34] <desertegl> but i wanted a small install (minimal install) to go with this small netbook.
[18:03] <sidney> I just installed 11.10 where how do i open a drive i cant see them
[18:06] <sidney> found it under file manager
[18:47] <bindi__> hey
[18:47] <bindi__> my friend has an old laptop with p3 566, 256 ram and 10 GB hdd
[18:47] <bindi__> whenever he logs in, it checks for updates and then crashes
[18:48] <bindi__> told him to do ctrl+alt+f1 and do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:48] <bindi__> on upgrade, it did it's job for a little while and then it shut down
[18:53] <bioterror> if computer shuts down by itself, probably over heating
[18:55] <bindi__> *always* on the update part though
[18:55] <bindi__> i suggested that, we'll see
[19:15] <bioterror> !md5sum
