| PhireB0mb3r | Neosano: Thank you. I have it all setup. It's all purdy now. | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Neosano | PhireB0mb3r, I'm glad it worked for you ;) | 00:07 |
| onewey | Updated from Natty Narwhal to Oneiric Ocelot and closing the lid wouldn't suspend the machine. Ran xfce4-power-manager-settings to re-enable those options. Works well now. | 00:33 |

| dustman | hi | 01:40 |
| dustman | I got strange mouse behavior: cursor 'jumps' around once in awhile, mostly when a new program starts, even when it happens at another workspace | 01:41 |
| dustman | but sometimes I can't see any reasons for such behavior | 01:41 |
| dustman | plus mouse can cede to respond to clicks while responding to movement | 01:42 |
| dustman | is it something inherent to lubuntu, openbox or hardware? | 01:43 |
| dustman | yeah, ps/2 mouse would function strangely once in awhile by simply refusing to respond, and usb mouse should be plugged/unplugged | 01:44 |
| dustman | latter behavior was visible in ubuntu 11.10 as well | 01:45 |
| dustman | now it's Lubuntu 11.10 fresh install + updates | 01:45 |
| phillw | dustman: is it a traditional rodent (with a ball in) or an optical rodent? | 01:48 |
| dustman | optical | 01:48 |
| dustman | mouse mat is quite uneven, especially with cats using it as a bed | 01:49 |
| phillw | around the raised area on the base, where the LED is, ensure there is not a build up of 'gunk' (you know, that semi sticky goo that is dust), also check the rat-mat is also clean. I was suprised at just how much muck can affect an optical mouse! | 01:50 |
| phillw | maybe buy the cats a bed? I know we call them rat-mats... but cat-mats? | 01:51 |
| dustman | sure, they got couple already | 01:52 |
| dustman | just follow me everywhere | 01:52 |
| dustman | and just checked, LEDs are completely clean | 01:52 |
| dustman | I had this jumping behaviour on other systems when using reflecting surfaces with an optical mouse, but here is bit different and unexpected | 01:54 |
| dustman | plus it's rather new | 01:54 |
| jmichaelx | so, i know opinions here will be biased, but are there people here who would recommend (or are happy with) lubuntu as a netbook OS? | 03:34 |
| jmichaelx | i am wanting to re-do my dell mini 9, which is still running lucid UNR | 03:37 |
| holstein | jmichaelx: you can try it live | 04:17 |
| holstein | i find it light and elegant | 04:17 |
| jmichaelx | holstein: tyvm for your input :) | 04:17 |
| holstein | the UI wont be for everyone of course, but lubuntu is built on ubuntu, so you can switch to any of the other variants easy | 04:17 |
| PhireB0mb3r | I'm late to this, but I prefer Lubuntu over UNR. It feels so much smoother on my Acer Aspire One. | 04:35 |
| PhireB0mb3r | jmichaelx: you don't have to 're-do' it. Install the lubuntu packages and set LXDE as your default wm. That's what I did on my AAO. | 04:36 |
| jmichaelx | PhireB0mb3r: well, i am redoing due to the fact that i have acquired a new SSD, and also due to wanting to move to oneiric | 04:37 |
| holstein | ubuntu netbook remix is dead AFAIK | 04:37 |
| jmichaelx | yes, i stayed with UNR out of hatred for unity | 04:38 |
| PhireB0mb3r | jmichaelx: Ah. I like it and a co-worker told me about it. I never knew about LXDE or Lubuntu till he told me a few months ago. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have been enjoying it for my netbook OS. | 04:38 |
| jmichaelx | PhireB0mb3r: ty, i think it's what i am going to go with | 04:39 |
| holstein | i ran full ubuntu on my netbook.. with compiz ;) | 04:39 |
| holstein | that was an EEE900 too... i find lubuntu to be peppy on it now though | 04:39 |
| PhireB0mb3r | I first ran Kubuntu + compiz, then went to UNR, and now on Lubuntu. | 04:40 |
| PhireB0mb3r | jmichaelx: How big is your SSD? | 04:45 |
| jmichaelx | PhireB0mb3r: the original is 8GB, i am going to be installing a (used) 16GB SSD | 04:45 |
| jmichaelx | maybe i won't even do it... i bought another mini 9 on craiglist, intending to re-sell it. i thought i might first swap SSDs. | 04:46 |
| jmichaelx | the mini 9 i just bought had win7 home premium installed on it, for deities' sakes | 04:47 |
| PhireB0mb3r | I bought a nettop and left the Win7 OS on there, but dual-boot to Kubuntu 11.10 | 04:49 |
| PhireB0mb3r | Which reminds me. I've not used it in a very long, long time. I should do something with it. | 04:50 |
| jmichaelx | PhireB0mb3r: i have 2 nettops, one home-made and the other a jetway.... love them both. they are my main PCs | 04:50 |
| PhireB0mb3r | I have it connected in my room to my TV. | 04:50 |
| jmichaelx | both running kubuntu | 04:50 |
| PhireB0mb3r | 2 desktops (kubuntu), 1 home server (ubuntu), 2 laptops (kubuntu), 1 nettop (kubuntu), 1 netbook (lubuntu) | 04:51 |
| PhireB0mb3r | I was recently gifted another laptop, which may need a new mobo, so that will add to the mix. | 04:52 |
| jmichaelx | i tend to accumulate computers | 04:54 |
| jmichaelx | well, 'tend' is an understatement | 04:54 |
| PhireB0mb3r | hahaha | 04:56 |
| PhireB0mb3r | jmichaelx: Still have those old computers? | 04:56 |
| * jmichaelx has LOTS of old computers | 04:56 | |
| OccTorFoodies | hello! | 05:09 |
| OccTorFoodies | has anyone installed lubuntu to a USB drive? | 05:09 |
| OccTorFoodies | i am wondering how to get grub boot loader on my USB key? doing it thru the install no workie | 05:10 |
| phiscribe | whats that thing called, netbootin or something | 05:10 |
| phiscribe | unetbooting | 05:11 |
| phiscribe | http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 05:11 |
| phiscribe | that was for u OccTorFoodies | 05:12 |
| OccTorFoodies | ty reading now | 05:12 |
| phiscribe | what im not sure if that can do is make a persistant usb install, it makes a live usb, like a live cd | 05:14 |
| OccTorFoodies | yes.. im a little bit past that... im trying to load grub onto the USB phiscribe ... any idea how to do that? | 05:15 |
| OccTorFoodies | everything else in install worked | 05:15 |
| OccTorFoodies | but could not write grub to the stick... | 05:15 |
| phiscribe | what was the error | 05:15 |
| OccTorFoodies | "fatal" when i tried to tell it "/dev/sbd1" | 05:16 |
| OccTorFoodies | which was the right drivepath for the stick | 05:16 |
| phiscribe | whwats fdisk -l look like | 05:18 |
| OccTorFoodies | 3 partisiotns | 05:18 |
| OccTorFoodies | 1 ext2 mounted at "/" | 05:18 |
| OccTorFoodies | 2 ext4 mounted at /home | 05:19 |
| OccTorFoodies | 3 swap | 05:19 |
| OccTorFoodies | 3gb/3gb/1.7gb | 05:19 |
| phiscribe | are you wanting grub in the master boot record? | 05:23 |
| phiscribe | im so rusty in grub i sqeeke, but for the mbr, it seems you want to use the device /sbd not the partition /sbd1 | 05:24 |
| OccTorFoodies | no, i dont want grub on the MBR of HDD, i want grub on USB stick | 05:28 |
| phiscribe | mbr of the usb stickj | 05:30 |
| phiscribe | or exernal drive | 05:31 |
| OccTorFoodies | well i tried /dev/sbd as well ? | 05:31 |
| phiscribe | http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/grub_intro | 05:31 |
| lala_ | hello, i want to make up a fast realtime audio machine - is there a realtime low latency kernel for lubuntu? | 06:05 |
| phiscribe | lemme think | 06:07 |
| phiscribe | ive not ran into one for lubunut, ubuntu yes | 06:10 |
| phiscribe | probably have to complie it | 06:10 |
| phiscribe | try apt-cache search linux-rt | 06:11 |
| phiscribe | or think about ubuntu studio versions | 06:11 |
| phiscribe | thats for lala_ that is | 06:12 |
| lala_ | merci | 06:12 |
| lala_ | i will try | 06:12 |
| Na_Klar | how much disk space takes a fresh lubuntu 11.10 installation? | 18:08 |
| Na_Klar | ca. | 18:08 |
| wxl | i think you can get away with 4gb | 18:08 |
| xsaidx | Na_Klar: not sure but less then 9GB | 18:08 |
| xsaidx | :D | 18:08 |
| wxl | ooh 1gb | 18:09 |
| wxl | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-lubuntu-on-a-flash-drive-using-windows/ | 18:09 |
| Na_Klar | okay, that's a guideline value ... thanks | 18:09 |
| wxl | well i guess 2gb realisticallyo | 18:09 |
| wxl | that 1gb assumes no persistence which if you're talking about a hd install isn't really practical | 18:10 |
| xsaidx | wxl: i cant send some files to my site ikeep getting errors any idea why | 18:10 |
| xsaidx | wxl: and just those files while ican send other | 18:10 |
| xsaidx | others* | 18:10 |
| wxl | no idea | 18:11 |
| wxl | not clear enough xsaidx | 18:11 |
| xsaidx | wxl: i wan to send some files with ftp client ( filezilla) and for only these files i keep gettin delay expired , transfer failed while if i try any other file it ll go fast | 18:12 |
| dustman | Na_Klar: there's minimal install option as well | 18:13 |
| wxl | xsaidx: so is it a size limit you're hitting? i would say you need to look at client/server settings and not at lubuntu for your problem. | 18:14 |
| wxl | …unless you can rule everything else out | 18:14 |
| xsaidx | wxl: yeh i kno its lubuntu i jsut wanna ask some experiment people on here : ] | 18:15 |
| wxl | xsaidx: is this YOUR server? | 18:15 |
| xsaidx | wxl: no its mutual | 18:16 |
| wxl | what does that mean? | 18:16 |
| xsaidx | it means im jsut hosted on machine where other sites are installed | 18:17 |
| wxl | so you have no control over the ftp server settings? | 18:17 |
| xsaidx | wxl: well virtual host thats what companies use to provide such hostin | 18:17 |
| xsaidx | wxl: yeh | 18:17 |
| wxl | xsaidx: http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Network_Configuration#Timeouts_on_large_files | 18:18 |
| wxl | we need to teach you how to use google | 18:18 |
| xsaidx | wxl: haha no you seem didnt get my issue im havin problem with file A while i can easily send file B | 18:18 |
| wxl | that is exactly what that is about | 18:19 |
| wxl | some files work, others don't | 18:19 |
| xsaidx | wxl: and there no big size in all of em ; ] | 18:20 |
| wxl | xsaidx: try #filezilla | 18:20 |
| xsaidx | wxl: ok thanks ; ] | 18:20 |

| aladds | how do i launch the installer from the alternate install cd? I'm used to it starting itself | 21:22 |
| aladds | it just drops me to a shell | 21:23 |
| bioterror | should launch | 21:25 |
| aladds | i tried it twice | 21:25 |
| aladds | i can switch virtual consoles etc. | 21:25 |
| aladds | but i can't find the installer on any of them | 21:25 |
| aladds | oh, never mind. I see what I did wrong | 21:26 |
| aladds | (bios wasn't detecting my usb keyboard so i was waiting for the timeout. I just dug out a ps/2 keyboard and it turns out that the default option isn't install) | 21:27 |
