| Linuxs | anyone here? I need help | 05:40 |
|---|---|---|
| Linuxs | Anytime I boot off a live cd, I get an Edd: error 1000 at 321148 | 05:41 |
| Linuxs | What does that mean? I can't reinstall my OS | 05:41 |
| Linuxs | Where is everyone? | 05:44 |
| holstein | Linuxs: i would confirm the downloaded iso, and the media | 05:45 |
| holstein | theres also a memory test you can run, and i would take the time to test the hard drive | 05:45 |
| Linuxs | I've tried numerous Isos | 05:46 |
| Linuxs | Lubuntu and Trisquel | 05:46 |
| Linuxs | Both give errors and won't boot | 05:46 |
| holstein | Linuxs: thats 2 | 05:46 |
| holstein | and they were downloaded on the same internet? | 05:46 |
| Linuxs | And Sabyon gave that error | 05:46 |
| Linuxs | Yes | 05:46 |
| Linuxs | I was scared that this was a hdd problem | 05:46 |
| holstein | i used to have DSL... couldnt get a download...you shoule *confirm* the downloaded isos | 05:46 |
| holstein | the checksums | 05:46 |
| holstein | then you'll know for certain, and you can move on | 05:47 |
| holstein | Linuxs: unplug the hard drive if you would like to take it out of the equation | 05:47 |
| Linuxs | I don't know hot to do that and I would be too nervous of trying | 05:47 |
| holstein | Linuxs: OK.. then confirm the MD5 sums, or whatever... and check the media... run the memory test.. get *something* booting live somehow and run a tet on the hard drive | 05:48 |
| Unit193 | Can he get to the "Check CD for defects" section? | 05:48 |
| holstein | yup, that would be the 'check media' step Linuxs ^^ | 05:49 |
| holstein | you can skip right to that | 05:49 |
| holstein | thats probably easier... | 05:49 |
| Unit193 | And checks the burn | 05:49 |
| === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn | ||
| Linuxs | I tried, the error happens when I choose check for defects too | 05:50 |
| Linuxs | It won't get off the grub screen | 05:50 |
| holstein | yup.. sounds very much like a hardware issue to me | 05:51 |
| holstein | but, i would still confirm the MD5 sums | 05:51 |
| holstein | i would try and use a bootable USB stick... taking the optical drive out of the equation | 05:51 |
| Linuxs | I only have one USB stick and it's ruined | 05:52 |
| Linuxs | Mostly from trying to boot an OS off of it. :( | 05:52 |
| holstein | you'll just have to test, remove variables, test... etc... and experiment til you sort it out... or take it in to someone else to do that | 05:52 |
| Linuxs | Odd thing is that Puppy linux will still boot and it's the only OS that won't give that stupid error | 05:53 |
| holstein | Linuxs: how does puppy boot though... from the hard drive? | 05:53 |
| holstein | that means the optical drive could still be bad | 05:53 |
| Linuxs | From live cd | 05:53 |
| Linuxs | I'm thinking that my laptop burner is defective though | 05:54 |
| holstein | thats still plausible | 05:54 |
| holstein | if you made that puppy disc a long time ago | 05:54 |
| Linuxs | I don't know what it is. | 05:55 |
| Linuxs | Howver the EDD: error 1000 at sector 321148 thing still worries me. My computer is pretty old | 05:55 |
| holstein | hardware is cheap these days | 05:56 |
| holstein | you can probably run tests from puppy then | 05:56 |
| Linuxs | Well, I have PCBSD installed on it and I'm trying to get it off because no Linux will read it's file system | 05:57 |
| holstein | Linuxs: ufs? | 05:59 |
| Linuxs | Yeah | 05:59 |
| holstein | http://ghantoos.org/2009/04/04/mounting-ufs-in-readwrite-under-linux/ | 05:59 |
| Linuxs | Well, Urk I say. Puppy Linux can't do Apt | 06:01 |
| Linuxs | Apt package management doesn't come with it. | 06:01 |
| holstein | http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm | 06:04 |
| holstein | you want the 2nd one.. the 'lucid' compatible build | 06:04 |
| Linuxs | I have the slacko build. | 06:04 |
| holstein | cool... this seems more generic | 06:06 |
| holstein | you just need to focus in, and choose what you want to do | 06:06 |
| holstein | this is all open technology, so if you want to read ufs or zfs, you can... it just might not be easy, or stable | 06:07 |
| Linuxs | I don't really have those kind of tech skills. :( | 06:07 |
| holstein | if you want to get apt in puppy, you can.. http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Debianization | 06:07 |
| holstein | so, instead of 'no linux can read...' you can say 'i dont want to bother with ufs support' | 06:08 |
| holstein | i mean... i dont want to bother with it either ;) | 06:08 |
| Linuxs | Ufs, EXT, I just want my computer back so that I can get some work done. | 06:10 |
| holstein | maybe you should ask a friend to burn you an iso, or let you borrow a USB stick | 06:10 |
| holstein | sounds to me like you have a hardware problem, and those can be challening to track down | 06:11 |
| Linuxs | Hmmm :( | 06:11 |
| Linuxs | I have to go. I'll try something and if it doesn't work, I'm sunk. | 06:12 |
| holstein | i literally do the steps im mentioning to you... i test each part as isolated as i can... reducing variables | 06:12 |
| holstein | i use http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ | 06:12 |
| holstein | Linuxs: if it doesnt work, you have decided to give up, and thats fine... you can take it in to someone :) | 06:12 |
| Linuxs | :( | 06:13 |
| holstein | if its an old box, just give up one it... hardware is too cheap these days.. i have some decent P4's with a gig of ram or so that i got for nothing | 06:13 |
| holstein | if you were nearby, you could have one :) | 06:13 |
| Linuxs | Is this ultimate bootcd free? | 06:13 |
| holstein | Linuxs: yup | 06:13 |
| holstein | i use that to test hard drives and other things... there are other live diagnostic CD's though | 06:14 |
| Linuxs | I may have to save up for an external hard drive and partition that. | 06:14 |
| holstein | doesnt matter what else you have plugged in, if you cant boot an image | 06:14 |
| holstein | maybe save up for a USB stick | 06:15 |
| Linuxs | *nods* | 06:15 |
| holstein | those always come in handy | 06:15 |
| Linuxs | I agree | 06:15 |
| Linuxs | However my Laptop has been giving out errors alot during burning, so I have to consider that the burner is defective | 06:16 |
| holstein | or the motherboard... or ram.. or whatever | 06:16 |
| Linuxs | Too many issues with hardware. | 06:16 |
| holstein | ram can be challening to discover, though easy to deal with | 06:16 |
| holstein | bad ram can really just be odd though | 06:17 |
| holstein | the few times ive had bad ram, its either just a dead box, or some really odd behavior | 06:17 |
| Linuxs | Anyway, I have to do this one last try before I have to go to sleep | 06:17 |
| Linuxs | thank you for your help. | 06:17 |

| tobiasmichel | Hi, just installed lubuntu-desktop and i cannot find how to change the desktop background. right click on desktop dosn't work anymore, because i changed something there, which i don't know how to redo it. | 10:54 |
| ]Spectre[ | Hi guys, I need an hint, I want to grab a screenshot under the lxde desktop manager,can you help me ? I tried with the key "printscreen" but after that I can't paste it on the gimp | 11:34 |
| MrChrisDruif | ]Spectre[; Did you look in your home folder? | 11:38 |
| ]Spectre[ | going to see | 11:39 |
| ]Spectre[ | MrChrisDruif: fantastic :D | 11:40 |
| MrChrisDruif | I know I am, but I don't like to brag ;-) | 11:40 |
| david_j_r | Got an odd one here: just installed "vim-gnome" from Synaptic, and cannot find it *anywhere*! Any ideas? | 12:27 |
| david_j_r | Didn't show up in any applications menu, and trying to run "vim-gnome" in terminal gets a "not found". | 12:27 |
| david_j_r | Running "vim" alone just gets me vim in terminal, not the GUI. | 12:28 |
| david_j_r | Ha. That's because you need to run "gvim". | 12:29 |
| david_j_r | :/ | 12:29 |
| david_j_r | Sorry about that (in case anyone was listening). | 12:29 |
| david_j_r | Now need to find a way to add it to menus... | 12:29 |
| MrChrisDruif | david_j_r; go on with your monologue | 12:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | Does it have a .desktop that gvim david_j_r ? | 12:33 |
| david_j_r | Was just going to ask if anyone has a "vim.desktop" file handy, do let me know. ;) | 12:33 |
| david_j_r | Just looking now - I don't think so. | 12:33 |
| david_j_r | Ha - what do you know - it does! | 12:34 |
| MrChrisDruif | Of course it does! | 12:34 |
| MrChrisDruif | I know all ^_^ (in my dreams) | 12:34 |
| david_j_r | :) | 12:34 |
| david_j_r | It has this line: | 12:35 |
| david_j_r | Categories=Utility;TextEditor; | 12:35 |
| david_j_r | but neither of those categories exist, and it didn't create them. | 12:35 |
| david_j_r | Will stick it in "Programming" | 12:35 |
| MrChrisDruif | To show other Categories in Gnome2 you had to edit the menu manually, I think the same is true for LXDE | 12:36 |
| ]Spectre[ | can anyone give me an help on vlc under lubuntu ? I already tried to ask on the videolan channel,but without success | 12:36 |
| MrChrisDruif | !ask | 12:37 |
| ubot5 | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 12:37 |
| ]Spectre[ | I'm trying to play a dvd,with both gnome mplayer and vlc I get a black window for a second and nothing more when I try to play a dvd | 12:37 |

| MrChrisDruif | ^_^ | 12:38 |
| ]Spectre[ | thanks ;) | 12:38 |
| MrChrisDruif | You probably need to install lubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:38 |
| ]Spectre[ | mmm,doing that | 12:38 |
| MrChrisDruif | ]Spectre[; how's it going? | 12:42 |
| ]Spectre[ | MrChrisDruif: still installing | 12:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | You did install Lubuntu extras right? | 12:44 |
| ]Spectre[ | yes | 12:44 |
| ]Spectre[ | it does the same :( | 12:44 |
| ]Spectre[ | also with gnome mplayer integrated in lubuntu :( | 12:45 |
| ]Spectre[ | I try to restart the system | 12:45 |
| MrChrisDruif | Did also do that .sh? | 12:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" | 12:46 |
| ]Spectre[ | nothing... | 12:51 |
| ]Spectre[ | I'll see it on the tv | 12:51 |
| ]Spectre[ | don't worry | 12:51 |
| ]Spectre[ | :) | 12:51 |
| MrChrisDruif | ]Spectre[; http://blip.tv/ubuntu-switcher/lubuntu-codecs-3499346 | 12:52 |
| ]Spectre[ | thanks,going to see | 12:53 |
| ]Spectre[ | nothing... don't worry :) | 12:57 |
| ]Spectre[ | is not mandatory to me to see movies on the computer... | 12:58 |
| MrChrisDruif | For me it's one of the prerequisites | 12:59 |
| ]Spectre[ | :) | 12:59 |
| === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn | ||
| ]Spectre[ | MrChrisDruif: found a solution | 13:09 |
| ]Spectre[ | now it works | 13:09 |
| ]Spectre[ | but I don't know why... | 13:09 |
| ]Spectre[ | well | 13:09 |
| MrChrisDruif | What did you do? | 13:09 |
| ]Spectre[ | I've found that I need to install the libdvdread4 on internet | 13:10 |
| ]Spectre[ | I checked on synaptic and it was already installed | 13:10 |
| ]Spectre[ | so I wrote "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" for curiosity | 13:10 |
| ]Spectre[ | and now I can see dvd | 13:10 |
| ]Spectre[ | may be that the libdvdread4 is installed by default but is not configured ? | 13:10 |
| bioterror | VLC shows dvd's without a problem AFAIR | 13:11 |
| ]Spectre[ | bioterror: is not true,at least on my computer | 13:11 |
| MrChrisDruif | ]Spectre[; why didn't you do that command when I asked you to? | 13:12 |
| MrChrisDruif | =P | 13:12 |
| ]Spectre[ | MrChrisDruif: I didn't see that :P sorry | 13:15 |
| ]Spectre[ | thanks anyway | 13:15 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ow, didn't mention you there | 13:15 |
| MrChrisDruif | I thought that nothing... was in response to my sudo command | 13:16 |
| ]Spectre[ | now it works like a charm ! :D | 13:17 |
| ]Spectre[ | I love lubuntu | 13:18 |
| xsteadfastx | oh me too :) | 13:19 |
| MrChrisDruif | Good to hear boys | 13:19 |
| ]Spectre[ | I don't have the time,otherwise I was already helping (as I can ) the development community | 13:24 |
| david_j_r | MrChrisDruif; about that Gvim in menu thing: the setting I needed was "Categories=Development;" not "Programming" - fwiw! | 13:25 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yeah, seems legit | 13:25 |
| david_j_r | Thanks (once again) for your help - reassuring to have a calming presence here. :) | 13:27 |
| betadoctor | hi all | 13:28 |
| MrChrisDruif | Aloha betadoctor | 13:28 |
| betadoctor | ive been trying toresolve my "stuck at 640*480" issue .. | 13:29 |
| betadoctor | not having much luck .. | 13:30 |
| MrChrisDruif | Seems like a graphics problem | 13:30 |
| MrChrisDruif | 640*480 is an emergency resolution afaik | 13:30 |
| betadoctor | it is .. ive tried several approaches but to no veil | 13:30 |
| betadoctor | monitor is not detected properly i think .. xconf.org tell me its a 'default monitor' | 13:31 |
| MrChrisDruif | And with an other OS (e.g. Windows) it works properly? | 13:31 |
| betadoctor | yup | 13:31 |
| MrChrisDruif | Weird | 13:31 |
| betadoctor | it works fine until in install 'addition drivers' | 13:31 |
| betadoctor | for my NVIDIA card .. then things go awol | 13:32 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hmm, I'm not a fan of proprietary drivers myself ^_^ | 13:32 |
| MrChrisDruif | ATI, which got about the same problem...slightly less | 13:32 |
| betadoctor | ok .. i can fix it by reinstalling , wich i will .. about these proprietary drivers .. are they a must ? . my only goal is to keep my OS lightweight .. | 13:34 |
| betadoctor | can i do without he addition 'performance' of these drivers ? | 13:34 |
| betadoctor | just looking for a bit of advice i guess :) | 13:36 |
| === jrgifford_zzzz is now known as jrgifford | ||
| betadoctor | so for a lightweith OS i just forget about these proprietary drivers (if the give issues) ? | 13:39 |
| MrChrisDruif | I guess so. I'm using GNOME Shell without proprietary drivers | 13:41 |
| betadoctor | ok ty for the advice .. ill be re-installing now :) .. cheers ! | 13:45 |
| hosoka | hallo allemaal | 14:30 |
| hosoka | alles goed hier ? | 14:30 |
| hosoka | zijn er mensen hier van de Lubuntu team ? | 14:31 |
| hosoka | hello | 14:32 |
| hosoka | can anyone know if the Lubuntu with the LXDM has autologin option working ? | 14:33 |
| phillw | hosoka: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_to_enable_automatic_logon_in_LXDM should work? | 14:50 |
| hosoka | phillw: thanks, I will look into that. | 14:51 |
| hosoka | phillw: I have done that. It did not work. | 14:53 |
| hosoka | if i use ubuntu only it does work well | 14:53 |
| hosoka | perhaps because Ubuntu works differently | 14:53 |
| hosoka | i also contacted with the writer of that tool named dgod and he mentioned that it might work diffently for lubuntu | 14:54 |
| hosoka | i have upgraded lubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 and since then with the lxdm autologin refusing I needed to replace it with GDM | 14:54 |
| ]Spectre[ | hi guys | 17:07 |
| ]Spectre[ | what's up ? | 17:08 |
| bioterror | for random chatting we have #lubuntu-offtopic which doesnt get logged | 17:08 |
| ]Spectre[ | sorry bioterror | 17:09 |
| ]Spectre[ | mamma mia | 17:09 |
| bioterror | dont be ;) | 17:10 |

| MangoBoy | HiI'm wondering if Mondo is compatible with lubuntu 11.10 and if you know any good guide | 20:57 |
| MangoBoy | some one told me there had been some problems with ubuntu at some time | 20:58 |
| MangoBoy | http://www.mondorescue.org/ | 20:58 |
| Unit193 | MangoBoy: Well, normally the rule is if it works with Ubuntu, it should work with Lubuntu (But some things like alacarte need Xfce or Gnome) | 21:02 |
