calamari | hi.. been noticing a strange bug where if a window that is touching the upper left and I maximize it, it doesn't maximize to fill the screen. However if I try to drag the window (even tho it's maximized), it will suddenly maximize the rest of the way | 01:18 |

teamahma | Hello, terve kaikille | 16:46 |
teamahma | Is there a way to get laptops (HP G62) brightness fixed. command "xbacklight -set 100" works. But I have to use it everytimes. So my problem is that the screen goes dark (maybe to 80%). And the strange part is that if the computer is not used for 10 minutes the bright goes to 100% | 16:56 |
teamahma | but when I touch to mouse it goes to 80% again :/ | 16:57 |
philipballew | Hey sp I am going to be giving a desktop with lubuntu on it to a few people and am wondering if you have any good help documentation on the install already or do I need to add that myself? | 17:11 |
teamahma | philipballew: Do you know how to get my laptop ( HP G62) brightness to work how it should. Now it screen is dark when I open the laptop and if I wait 10minutes it goes to 100%, but when I move mouse or keyboard, the keyboard goes back to darker. xbacklight command works so I can get brightness to 100% manually. | 17:52 |
philipballew | no, I do not have that laptop. but there are sever reasons why it might go and do thst | 17:56 |
philipballew | *that | 17:56 |
teamahma | what is the manager which handles these? | 17:58 |
philipballew | not sure. maybe your power manager or even grub | 17:59 |
philipballew | DOes anyone know of any Lubuntu pdf or off line tutorials. like Ubuntu has the help app. Does Lubuntu have anything? | 18:38 |

holstein | http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX125285 | 19:22 |
th^2 | holstein, yes i have installed it | 19:26 |
holstein | th^2: you mean, will it work on lubuntu as opposed to ubuntu? | 19:27 |
th^2 | holstein, well im running lubuntu so i came here to ask | 19:32 |
holstein | th^2: cool... what are you asking? | 19:32 |
holstein | if anything runs on ubuntu, it *should* run in lubuntu | 19:33 |
th^2 | yes i thought that myself | 19:34 |
th^2 | but cannot get citrix running on this machine | 19:34 |
th^2 | my ubuntu works just fine | 19:34 |
holstein | th^2: theres maybe some little dependancy? | 19:36 |
th^2 | maybe | 19:40 |
th^2 | argh | 19:47 |
th^2 | any help? | 19:47 |
th^2 | holstein, what kind of a depency? | 19:48 |
holstein | th^2: should say in the documentation | 19:50 |
holstein | you can link error messages | 19:50 |
holstein | its going to be challening since those packages are *not* ubuntu/canonical maintained | 19:50 |
th^2 | well its not giving me any errors. .deb installed just fine and citrix appeared to menu but it just doesnt launch | 19:51 |
holstein | th^2: launch it from the terminal | 19:52 |
th^2 | hmm there seems to be no path :S | 19:52 |
holstein | no path to? | 19:53 |
holstein | theres a /dir missing? | 19:53 |
holstein | maybe one didnt get auto created | 19:53 |
holstein | you should be albe to mk it | 19:53 |
th^2 | cannot apropos it | 19:53 |
th^2 | yes but i cannot find absolute path | 19:53 |
holstein | well, you dont need to | 19:54 |
th^2 | okay | 19:54 |
th^2 | sh /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh | 19:54 |
th^2 | Error: 4 (E_MISSING_ARG) | 19:54 |
th^2 | Please refer to the documentation. | 19:54 |
holstein | yup... thats what i think... you'll need to check the documentation | 19:55 |
holstein | th^2: is this lubuntu 11.10? was it ubuntu 11.10? | 19:55 |
holstein | sometimes those companies are expecting the LTS | 19:56 |
th^2 | Lubuntu 11.10 yes | 19:56 |
th^2 | argh :D | 19:56 |
genoobie | he | 22:06 |
genoobie | hey all | 22:14 |
wxl | sup | 22:14 |
genoobie | I installed lubuntu 3 wks ago and i loved it | 22:14 |
genoobie | today the wireless just "crapped out" | 22:14 |
genoobie | not sure how I could diag it | 22:15 |
wxl | never had any experience with that before | 22:15 |
wxl | laptop or desktop? | 22:15 |
genoobie | yeah, is there any "reinstall driver" type approach | 22:15 |
genoobie | laptop | 22:15 |
genoobie | I am a complete linux newb | 22:15 |
genoobie | if this happened on a windows machine I would reinstall the driver | 22:15 |
wxl | so why don't you take it to a coffee shop (or go warwalking through the neighborhood) and see if you have a problem connecting with any other access points | 22:16 |
wxl | if it does work, then it's a problem either with yoru access point or your isp | 22:16 |
genoobie | well I have another windows laptop next to it and I can connect to the net | 22:16 |
wxl | if it doesn't work, then we can investigate further | 22:16 |
genoobie | so the access point is functional | 22:16 |
wxl | k well there ya go | 22:16 |
wxl | that works too | 22:16 |
wxl | is your wireless enabled? | 22:17 |
genoobie | well the "blue light" that is the wireless switch is on | 22:17 |
wxl | right click on the network manager icon and click on enable wireless | 22:17 |
genoobie | greyed out | 22:17 |
wxl | oh noes | 22:17 |
genoobie | only VPN connections is an option | 22:17 |
wxl | so could you tell me what version of network-manager you have? | 22:18 |
genoobie | hm, not sure how to tell.. | 22:19 |
wxl | i have 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5.1 | 22:19 |
wxl | you could search for it in synaptic | 22:19 |
genoobie | any way to cmd line that? | 22:20 |
wxl | or open a terminal and use "sudo apt-cache policy network-manager | grep -i installed" | 22:20 |
genoobie | mine is the same as yours | 22:20 |
genoobie | 5 instead of 5.1 | 22:21 |
wxl | hmmmm | 22:21 |
genoobie | but its not checked | 22:21 |
wxl | have you changed any settings on the access point? | 22:21 |
genoobie | does that mean it is not installed? | 22:21 |
genoobie | no | 22:21 |
wxl | what do you mean it's not checked? in synaptic | 22:21 |
wxl | ? | 22:21 |
genoobie | yes | 22:21 |
wxl | hah that's strange | 22:21 |
wxl | that generally means it's not installed | 22:21 |
wxl | run that command line and see what you get | 22:22 |
genoobie | okay | 22:22 |
genoobie | says installed 0.9.1.90-ubuntu5 | 22:22 |
wxl | k well u got it | 22:23 |
wxl | hold a sec | 22:23 |
genoobie | yeah, it was working okay until today, i mean it was even working this morning | 22:23 |
wxl | bizarro | 22:23 |
genoobie | anything to "reinstall" that could fix the problem? | 22:24 |
genoobie | if I were to go to a local store and buy one, any pref on which mini-pci works best with linux? | 22:25 |
genoobie | would I just swap and reboot? | 22:26 |
genoobie | or would there have to be other configurations | 22:26 |
wxl | yeah that's a good point come to think of it | 22:26 |
wxl | problem may not be lubuntu | 22:26 |
wxl | problem may be your hardware | 22:26 |
wxl | why don't you download the live iso and run it on the windows machine and see if it still works ok | 22:26 |
genoobie | do you have a link to the live iso? | 22:27 |
genoobie | not a torrent | 22:27 |
wxl | you are on oneiric right? | 22:27 |
wxl | x86 or 64? | 22:28 |
genoobie | wxl how could I check | 22:28 |
wxl | lsb_release -a | 22:28 |
genoobie | i686 | 22:28 |
genoobie | oneiric 11.10 | 22:29 |
wxl | http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso | 22:29 |
wxl | hm | 22:30 |
genoobie | okay, so if I download that and it works...what then | 22:30 |
wxl | another thought to check and see if your basic hardware is working is to use the command line | 22:30 |
genoobie | wxl | 22:30 |
genoobie | okay I'm all ears | 22:30 |
wxl | i'd say reboot to recovery mode (hold shift while it boots to get to the menu) | 22:30 |
wxl | mount the file systems | 22:30 |
genoobie | okay hold a sec | 22:30 |
genoobie | uh oh | 22:30 |
genoobie | hold a sec | 22:30 |
wxl | then go to networking shell | 22:31 |
wxl | ifconfig wlan0 | 22:31 |
genoobie | well there is a "recovery mode" | 22:31 |
wxl | dhclient wlan0 | 22:31 |
wxl | ping google.com | 22:31 |
genoobie | in grub | 22:31 |
wxl | should work :D | 22:31 |
wxl | yep go for it | 22:31 |
genoobie | okay hold a sec | 22:31 |
genoobie | my windows partition is borked | 22:32 |
genoobie | that sucks | 22:32 |
wxl | ruh roh | 22:32 |
wxl | well anyways that will give you some homework for a while ;) | 22:32 |
genoobie | okay I have resume normal boot | 22:32 |
genoobie | fsck for check file systems | 22:32 |
wxl | don't do it | 22:32 |
wxl | next should be mount file systems | 22:33 |
wxl | go ahead and do that | 22:33 |
genoobie | remount / read/write and mount | 22:33 |
wxl | not sure why you can't just get to the networking shell first but whatever | 22:33 |
wxl | do the remount | 22:33 |
genoobie | clean, dpkg, grub, netroot | 22:33 |
genoobie | root | 22:33 |
genoobie | clean = free space, dpkg repair broken pkgs | 22:33 |
wxl | then the net shell | 22:33 |
genoobie | root then net shell? | 22:34 |
genoobie | or netroot | 22:34 |
wxl | there should be two options | 22:34 |
wxl | one for a root shell, one for a root shell with networking | 22:34 |
wxl | you want the latter | 22:34 |
genoobie | ok | 22:34 |
genoobie | done | 22:34 |
genoobie | now? | 22:34 |
wxl | ifconfig wlan0 | 22:34 |
wxl | ooops | 22:34 |
wxl | ifconfig wlan0 up | 22:34 |
genoobie | error while getting interface flags, no such device | 22:35 |
genoobie | urgh | 22:35 |
genoobie | so it's kicked | 22:35 |
wxl | maybe it's wlan1 | 22:35 |
genoobie | same err | 22:35 |
wxl | hold | 22:35 |
genoobie | oaky | 22:35 |
=== robotman is now known as AlexAv | ||
wxl | try iwconfig | 22:36 |
wxl | then iwlist scan | 22:36 |
genoobie | lo no wireless | 22:36 |
genoobie | eth0 no wireless | 22:36 |
=== zkriesse is now known as zkriesse_away | ||
wxl | curious | 22:37 |
wxl | oh right | 22:38 |
wxl | you might have restricted drivers which may not get loaded | 22:38 |
genoobie | I would get | 22:39 |
genoobie | I mean I would guess that is likely the case | 22:39 |
genoobie | I think it was an "atheros" wireless card | 22:39 |
genoobie | or some stupid crap like that | 22:39 |
genoobie | so what's next? | 22:40 |
genoobie | if I have to load a restricted driver taht is | 22:40 |
wxl | try lspci -vvnn | grep -i wireless | 22:41 |
genoobie_ | wxl | 22:43 |
wxl | ? | 22:43 |
genoobie_ | you still here? | 22:43 |
genoobie_ | ethernet controller 0200 atheros communications inc ar242x / ar542x Wireless network adater (PCI-Express) [168:001c] (rev 01) | 22:43 |
wxl | i don't ever leave :D | 22:43 |
wxl | k | 22:43 |
genoobie_ | heh. | 22:44 |
genoobie_ | so it looks like it "sees" something... | 22:45 |
wxl | yep | 22:45 |
wxl | good 1st step | 22:45 |
wxl | try modprobe ath5k | 22:46 |
wxl | THEN iwconfig | 22:46 |
genoobie_ | okay that seems to bring it up | 22:47 |
wxl | haha | 22:47 |
wxl | yes | 22:47 |
wxl | not sure if you have to set up a dhclient | 22:47 |
wxl | can you ping google or something? | 22:47 |
genoobie_ | so now how do I "fix" that in the "normal" boot | 22:47 |
genoobie_ | well I probably have to "scan" then "connect" somehow | 22:47 |
wxl | yeah right | 22:47 |
wxl | iwlist scan | 22:47 |
genoobie_ | wlan0 interface doesn't support scanning: network is down | 22:48 |
genoobie_ | so iwconfig wlan0 up? | 22:48 |
wxl | try ifconfig wlan0 up | 22:48 |
genoobie_ | wlan0 link is not ready | 22:48 |
wxl | hm | 22:49 |
genoobie_ | oops tried again, operation not possible due to RF-kill | 22:49 |
wxl | might need sudo | 22:51 |
=== zkriesse_away is now known as zkriesse | ||
wxl | but should be something like: | 22:51 |
wxl | iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key [wep key] | 22:51 |
genoobie_ | urgh now did ifconfig wlan0 down | 22:52 |
wxl | iwconfig wlan0 essid "[essid]" | 22:52 |
wxl | dhclient wlan0 | 22:52 |
wxl | sorry if i'm stumbling around; i've more experience with ethernet in the command line than wireless | 22:52 |
genoobie_ | if it is wpa2? | 22:52 |
wxl | ahh | 22:53 |
wxl | you need wpa-supplicant | 22:53 |
genoobie_ | urgh... | 22:53 |
genoobie_ | :) | 22:53 |
wxl | might as well skip this method | 22:53 |
genoobie_ | wxl thanks btw for all this help | 22:53 |
wxl | cuz that isn't going to come installed i don't think | 22:53 |
wxl | so yeah, go try that iso on the other machine | 22:53 |
genoobie_ | wpa_supplicant is installed | 22:53 |
wxl | here's info on wireless cards on the buntus https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 22:53 |
wxl | i have like 0 experience with wpa_supplicant | 22:55 |
genoobie_ | wxl here's a questino | 22:55 |
genoobie_ | if wlan0 comes up in the list | 22:55 |
genoobie_ | after modprobe ath5k + iwconfig | 22:55 |
genoobie_ | does that mean the wireless card is working? | 22:55 |
wxl | perhaps | 22:55 |
wxl | doesn't mean EVERYTHING's working | 22:56 |
genoobie_ | if I pop another wireless card in there then will lspci pick it up? | 22:56 |
wxl | yep | 22:57 |
wxl | or lsusb if it's usb and not pci | 22:57 |
genoobie_ | okay let me call my local shop and see if they have any used bg mini pci's in stock | 22:58 |
wxl | i'd go checking that other laptop before you go there | 22:59 |
wxl | but that's just me | 22:59 |
wxl | i could see two things you could do: | 22:59 |
genoobie_ | why check the other laptop? | 22:59 |
wxl | 1. test some other OS on the lubuntu machine (might not be easy) | 22:59 |
wxl | 2. test lubuntu on the other laptop | 22:59 |
wxl | if #2 works, then you know that the problem is not lubuntu.. it must be your hardware | 23:00 |
wxl | if #2 does not work, then it is likely that the problem is lubuntu | 23:00 |
wxl | if #1 works, then it must be lubuntu | 23:00 |
wxl | if #1 does not work then it must be the hardware | 23:00 |
wxl | two ways at getting at the same thing | 23:00 |
genoobie_ | if the problem was lubuntu, why would it suddenly "crash". | 23:02 |
wxl | that's a darn good question | 23:02 |
wxl | i wouldn't expect such behavior unless something was changed | 23:02 |
wxl | either with the drivers, the networking software, or the properties of the access point | 23:02 |
wxl | needless to say i'm a bit skeptical of it being the software | 23:03 |
genoobie_ | so if nothing changed with those features then doesn't that kind of point to the mini wireless? | 23:03 |
wxl | even on windows drivers just don't magically get corrupted | 23:03 |
wxl | sure does, i'd just want to confirm things, that's all | 23:03 |
wxl | again, my own personal opinion | 23:03 |
genoobie_ | ok. well mini pci's are cheap. | 23:08 |
genoobie_ | just stick to that list? | 23:08 |
genoobie_ | wxl not too much support for mini pci though. | 23:09 |
genoobie_ | ugh how do I reboot out of command line | 23:11 |
genoobie_ | nm, I think I figured it out | 23:12 |
