Unit193!tor | miento03:41
ubot5miento: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl03:41

ionithello07:22
ionitso what are the requirements to run lubuntu from usb?07:22
ionithello?07:29
icerootphillw: how to we handle bugs/feature-requests for the docu? LP? Mailinglist?07:29
icerootionit: live-system or persistent installation?07:29
ionitlive-system07:29
ionitI mean that live - boot thingy07:30
icerootionit: 256mb ram, around 600mhz (i think less will also work)07:30
ionit256MB ram check, 1.6GHz check07:30
ionitand?07:30
icerootthats all for a live-session07:30
Unit193A bootable USB and BIOS that supports it07:31
icerootah, yes :)07:31
ionityes07:31
ionitbut for persistent?07:31
ionitI have a pentium 3 600MHz with 128MB RAM walking around07:32
icerootionit: something arround 2-3GB07:32
ionitno HDD isn't the problem07:32
ionitthe ram is07:32
ionithow much for that?07:32
icerootionit: lubuntu can run on 128mb ram systems but you have to use the alternate/minimal-iso instead of the gui-installer07:32
ionitso only shell for me? no x love?07:33
icerootionit: no you can use the lxde desktop of course07:33
ionitthen?07:33
icerootionit: but the normal ubuntu-installer with the gui needs 256mb ram07:33
ionitoh07:33
ionitI see07:33
icerootionit: because of that use the minimal-iso, then you can install your lxde system and use it with your 128mb machine07:33
icerootionit: maybe the 11.10 lubuntu-disc will also work in 128mb, i never tested that but some blog-entrys say that the installer needs 256m07:34
ionitsweet07:34
ionitthankiez07:36

PEruvianNewbieHello all, could I get some help installing Lubuntu?09:15
bioterrorpress couple of times next and add some information about yourself09:17
bioterrorbut what's the problem, PEruvianNewbie09:17
PEruvianNewbieI-m stuck on the "Wireless" step. I am connected to the WLAN (that's how I]m typing this), but the installer won't activate the "Continue" button09:21
PEruvianNewbieand I can't continue when selecting "I don't want to connect right now" either09:21
Sillionhi09:36
bioterrorPEruvianNewbie, sounds weird09:38
bioterrorbut you dont need wlan for installing. if you just dont choose updates during installation09:39
PEruvianNewbieYeah, I chose only the third party software, no updates, but now it won't even let me go back and change that. I'll start over and see how it goes09:40

shayekhow to install .tar.bz file in lubuntu 11.10?16:35
holsteinshayek: i would unzip it, and see if there is a read.me16:35
holsteinit really depends on what it is... i would also look around in the repos for the app, and maybe a PPA16:36
shayeknot app, i think its source file.16:38
holsteinshayek: right.. there should be a readme on how to install whatever it is16:39
shayekit says compile and install......no other instruction......:(16:43
holsteinshayek: cool... you'll just have to unzip, and try it then... i would look for the application/driver/source, whatever it is in the repos, or via PPA16:43
holsteinfeel free and elaborate, maybe someone will have some suggestions16:44
shayeki think its very complicated.......i'm absolute newbie in lubuntu :(16:45
holsteinshayek: you sould start like this.. "i am installing X from the website Y to try and accomplish Z"16:46
smileshayek: i hate .tar.bz2's too :p16:52
shayekisn't there any app or installer to install tar.bz source file?16:53
smileshayek: no, you need to do it yourself :(16:54
holsteinshayek: there are tools you use, but whatever you have could be totally unique16:54
holsteincreating an 'easy button' would be challening16:55

AmberJSorry...I was afk...had to visit someone at hospital18:18
AmberJiceroot, well, I'll like to install firefox 5 alongside firefox 9 (current version in repos)18:18
AmberJI want firefox 5 because that's the what moonlight (silverlight for linux) supports18:19
AmberJAnd, I want silverlight because Stanford's online courses support Silverlight based player which can save videos for watching later (without the need to REstream)18:21
AmberJThe flash player won't do so and my 60kbps down throughput connection will choke when trying to watch course videos...18:22
smileAmberJ: can't you just download the video with video downloadhelper for Firefox? :)18:30
AmberJsmile, well, they are going to use a new platform called ClassX. It uses a technology called "interactive region-of-interest video streaming"18:33
smileoh. But you can record a stream with Video Downloadhelper too. :)18:33
AmberJIt means that one can zoom into any region of video (classroom) specially greenboard and watch only that part of video...18:33
AmberJRecording...yea that's a nice idea...18:34
AmberJlet me try18:34

kvarleyHow come I have space between the icons in my taskbar on the bottom right of the screen?20:36
bioterrorjpg or it did not happen20:39
kvarleylol20:40
bioterrorprobably you have laptop, you have suspended your laptop and after resume xfce4-power-manager's icon has pushed other icons away from it20:40
bioterroram I right?20:41
kvarleyIt only happens on my netbook yeah20:42
kvarleyTHere is space between the pidgin icon and the battery icon and also between the wifi icon and the notification icon20:43
bioterrorif you kill that xfce4-power-manager20:43
bioterrorand start it again20:43
bioterroryou will see how it gets fixed :)20:43
kvarleylol there is still space20:44
kvarleyI think it's the notification icon that's doing it20:45
kvarleyIt doesn't really matter, it just looks odd is all20:45
bioterrorbut half of the problem disappeared?20:45
bioterrorit's really that xfce4-power-manager which does it20:45
bioterrorand it's not just lubuntu20:45
kvarleyah ok20:45
bioterrorit's also on any other system that uses xfce4-power-manager20:45
kvarleyIt got rid of one of the gaps yeah20:45
bioterrorit really annoys20:46
bioterrorI've been pondering why someone havent forked gnome2's power manager ;)20:46
kvarleybioterror: Removing and then re-adding the System Tray from the panel fixes it20:49
bioterroryes20:50
bioterroralso killing panel and restarting it ;)20:50
kvarleybioterror: xD20:50
bioterrorfew ways20:50
bioterrorbut the problem is known20:50
kvarleybioterror: No doubt it'll be back when I reboot but I'm not too bothered20:50
kvarleybioterror: It doesn't bother me unless I have a lot of windows open then it starts to crush the window list20:51
