[00:05] Neosano: Thank you. I have it all setup. It's all purdy now. [00:07] PhireB0mb3r, I'm glad it worked for you ;) [00:33] 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. [00:38] * wxl testing out a new term on the phone [01:40] hi [01:41] 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] but sometimes I can't see any reasons for such behavior [01:42] plus mouse can cede to respond to clicks while responding to movement [01:43] is it something inherent to lubuntu, openbox or hardware? [01:44] yeah, ps/2 mouse would function strangely once in awhile by simply refusing to respond, and usb mouse should be plugged/unplugged [01:45] latter behavior was visible in ubuntu 11.10 as well [01:45] now it's Lubuntu 11.10 fresh install + updates [01:48] dustman: is it a traditional rodent (with a ball in) or an optical rodent? [01:48] optical [01:49] mouse mat is quite uneven, especially with cats using it as a bed [01:50] 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! [01:51] maybe buy the cats a bed? I know we call them rat-mats... but cat-mats? [01:52] sure, they got couple already [01:52] just follow me everywhere [01:52] and just checked, LEDs are completely clean [01:54] 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] plus it's rather new [03:34] 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? [03:37] i am wanting to re-do my dell mini 9, which is still running lucid UNR [04:17] jmichaelx: you can try it live [04:17] i find it light and elegant [04:17] holstein: tyvm for your input :) [04:17] 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 [04:35] I'm late to this, but I prefer Lubuntu over UNR. It feels so much smoother on my Acer Aspire One. [04:36] 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. [04:37] 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] ubuntu netbook remix is dead AFAIK [04:38] yes, i stayed with UNR out of hatred for unity [04:38] 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. [04:39] PhireB0mb3r: ty, i think it's what i am going to go with [04:39] i ran full ubuntu on my netbook.. with compiz ;) [04:39] that was an EEE900 too... i find lubuntu to be peppy on it now though [04:40] I first ran Kubuntu + compiz, then went to UNR, and now on Lubuntu. [04:45] jmichaelx: How big is your SSD? [04:45] PhireB0mb3r: the original is 8GB, i am going to be installing a (used) 16GB SSD [04:46] 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. [04:47] the mini 9 i just bought had win7 home premium installed on it, for deities' sakes [04:49] I bought a nettop and left the Win7 OS on there, but dual-boot to Kubuntu 11.10 [04:50] Which reminds me. I've not used it in a very long, long time. I should do something with it. [04:50] PhireB0mb3r: i have 2 nettops, one home-made and the other a jetway.... love them both. they are my main PCs [04:50] I have it connected in my room to my TV. [04:50] both running kubuntu [04:51] 2 desktops (kubuntu), 1 home server (ubuntu), 2 laptops (kubuntu), 1 nettop (kubuntu), 1 netbook (lubuntu) [04:52] I was recently gifted another laptop, which may need a new mobo, so that will add to the mix. [04:54] i tend to accumulate computers [04:54] well, 'tend' is an understatement [04:56] hahaha [04:56] jmichaelx: Still have those old computers? [04:56] * jmichaelx has LOTS of old computers [05:09] hello! [05:09] has anyone installed lubuntu to a USB drive? [05:10] i am wondering how to get grub boot loader on my USB key? doing it thru the install no workie [05:10] whats that thing called, netbootin or something [05:11] unetbooting [05:11] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [05:12] that was for u OccTorFoodies [05:12] ty reading now [05:14] what im not sure if that can do is make a persistant usb install, it makes a live usb, like a live cd [05:15] yes.. im a little bit past that... im trying to load grub onto the USB phiscribe ... any idea how to do that? [05:15] everything else in install worked [05:15] but could not write grub to the stick... [05:15] what was the error [05:16] "fatal" when i tried to tell it "/dev/sbd1" [05:16] which was the right drivepath for the stick [05:18] whwats fdisk -l look like [05:18] 3 partisiotns [05:18] 1 ext2 mounted at "/" [05:19] 2 ext4 mounted at /home [05:19] 3 swap [05:19] 3gb/3gb/1.7gb [05:23] are you wanting grub in the master boot record? [05:24] im so rusty in grub i sqeeke, but for the mbr, it seems you want to use the device /sbd not the partition /sbd1 [05:28] no, i dont want grub on the MBR of HDD, i want grub on USB stick [05:30] mbr of the usb stickj [05:31] or exernal drive [05:31] well i tried /dev/sbd as well ? [05:31] http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/grub_intro [06:05] hello, i want to make up a fast realtime audio machine - is there a realtime low latency kernel for lubuntu? [06:07] lemme think [06:10] ive not ran into one for lubunut, ubuntu yes [06:10] probably have to complie it [06:11] try apt-cache search linux-rt [06:11] or think about ubuntu studio versions [06:12] thats for lala_ that is [06:12] merci [06:12] i will try [18:08] how much disk space takes a fresh lubuntu 11.10 installation? [18:08] ca. [18:08] i think you can get away with 4gb [18:08] Na_Klar: not sure but less then 9GB [18:08] :D [18:09] ooh 1gb [18:09] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-lubuntu-on-a-flash-drive-using-windows/ [18:09] okay, that's a guideline value ... thanks [18:09] well i guess 2gb realisticallyo [18:10] that 1gb assumes no persistence which if you're talking about a hd install isn't really practical [18:10] wxl: i cant send some files to my site ikeep getting errors any idea why [18:10] wxl: and just those files while ican send other [18:10] others* [18:11] no idea [18:11] not clear enough xsaidx [18:12] 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 [18:13] Na_Klar: there's minimal install option as well [18:14] 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] …unless you can rule everything else out [18:15] wxl: yeh i kno its lubuntu i jsut wanna ask some experiment people on here : ] [18:15] xsaidx: is this YOUR server? [18:16] wxl: no its mutual [18:16] what does that mean? [18:17] it means im jsut hosted on machine where other sites are installed [18:17] so you have no control over the ftp server settings? [18:17] wxl: well virtual host thats what companies use to provide such hostin [18:17] wxl: yeh [18:18] xsaidx: http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Network_Configuration#Timeouts_on_large_files [18:18] we need to teach you how to use google [18:18] wxl: haha no you seem didnt get my issue im havin problem with file A while i can easily send file B [18:19] that is exactly what that is about [18:19] some files work, others don't [18:20] wxl: and there no big size in all of em ; ] [18:20] xsaidx: try #filezilla [18:20] wxl: ok thanks ; ] === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [21:22] how do i launch the installer from the alternate install cd? I'm used to it starting itself [21:23] it just drops me to a shell [21:25] should launch [21:25] i tried it twice [21:25] i can switch virtual consoles etc. [21:25] but i can't find the installer on any of them [21:26] oh, never mind. I see what I did wrong [21:27] (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) === EyesIsServer is now known as EyesIsAsleep [22:37] hi i've got this error message in dmesg : `init: lxdm main process terminated with status 1` [22:41] no ones? [22:49] I didn't see a question, but this has the same error in it if you wanted me to randomly guess http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1860720 [23:01] the question is how can i remove this error and start lxdm [23:02] Is this a LiveCD, install?
