| tertl6 | hello | 05:37 |
|---|---|---|
| tertl6 | how can I enable accelerated video on my vmware host | 05:38 |
| Unit193 | Type this into a terminal: glxinfo | grep rendering and see if it says "direct rendering: Yes" | 05:41 |
| tertl6 | k | 05:43 |
| tertl6 | one sec | 05:43 |
| tertl6 | ah ok | 05:46 |
| tertl6 | it says yes | 05:46 |
| tertl6 | what does grep do? | 05:46 |
| tertl6 | it searches for that word | 05:46 |
| tertl6 | ? | 05:46 |
| Unit193 | Basically, gets that line | 05:48 |
| Unit193 | Now you'll just need to enable it on VMWare | 05:48 |
| Unit193 | May also want to try glxgears | 05:49 |
| tertl6 | Unit193 ok | 05:49 |
| tertl6 | one sec again, i closed it | 05:50 |
| tertl6 | i just installed cinnamon | 05:50 |
| Unit193 | Can't help you there, not used it (and that'd not be Lubuntu anyway :P ) | 05:51 |
| tertl6 | well, I am useing lxde still | 05:52 |
| tertl6 | i just saw some peeps talking about it | 05:52 |
| tertl6 | it works fine | 05:52 |
| tertl6 | glXGEARS wokrs | 05:54 |
| Unit193 | Righto, your hardware is good to go | 05:55 |
| tertl6 | great | 05:56 |
| Unit193 | Now is where I say "There should be a setting in VMWare to enable it somewhere" :P I can try to find it, but as I've never used it... | 05:58 |
| tertl6 | there is | 05:59 |
| tertl6 | its under Display | 05:59 |
| tertl6 | ok | 06:37 |
| tertl6 | any idea how to let me open files to and fro VMware | 06:37 |
| holstein | tertl6: o/ | 06:38 |
| holstein | you want a shared folder or whatever? | 06:39 |
| Unit193 | Well, as I said I haven't used it, but I know VBox has a Shared folders option, might be something like that | 06:39 |
| Unit193 | But #vmware may be of more help than I :P (Unless holstein knows) | 06:39 |
| holstein | yeah, that "just works" in theory | 06:39 |
| holstein | the setup is more on the guest end | 06:39 |
| tertl6 | oh I thought it would open the entire drive | 06:41 |
| holstein | nah, they are pretty isolated unless you want them not to be | 06:42 |
| crshbndct | hey guys | 06:57 |
| crshbndct | does lubuntu 11.10 have apt disable or something? | 06:58 |
| Unit193 | Apt disable? | 06:59 |
| crshbndct | if i try to update, do apt-get, or remove anything, the system just sits there doing nothing | 06:59 |
| crshbndct | disabled* | 06:59 |
| Unit193 | sudo apt-get update gives you nothing? | 06:59 |
| crshbndct | no | 06:59 |
| crshbndct | it just moves down to the next line like it as about to do something, and then sits there | 07:00 |
| crshbndct | ctrl+c doesnt even kill it | 07:00 |
| Unit193 | How long do you wait? | 07:00 |
| crshbndct | it isnt unresponsive or anything, i can still do other stuff | 07:00 |
| crshbndct | about 5 minutes | 07:00 |
| crshbndct | i am looking for a nice light distro to put on my old but still very functional laptop, but if it doesnt have apt it is a bit of deal breaker for me | 07:01 |
| Unit193 | I use it almost daily | 07:02 |
| crshbndct | i know | 07:02 |
| crshbndct | i tried the 3 different terminal emulators it came with | 07:03 |
| crshbndct | no result | 07:03 |
| Unit193 | You can't know that, I just told you :P Right, can you use "sudo $something?" | 07:03 |
| Unit193 | (Something being pick lspci ro something) | 07:03 |
| crshbndct | when i said i know i meant, yes that is self evident :P | 07:04 |
| crshbndct | no i cant do that wither | 07:05 |
| crshbndct | either | 07:05 |
| crshbndct | seems the issue is with sudo, actually | 07:05 |
| crshbndct | nice catch | 07:05 |
| Unit193 | Yep | 07:05 |
| Unit193 | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 07:05 |
| Unit193 | "Or you may just see the next command prompt without any action being executed. " | 07:06 |
| crshbndct | strange that it is broken on a fresh install. but meh | 07:07 |
| crshbndct | nope. | 07:11 |
| crshbndct | no it is telling me that it is a read only file system. so step 2 of those instructions fails | 07:14 |
| Unit193 | There should be a "remount read/write" or something | 07:15 |
| crshbndct | where? | 07:16 |
| crshbndct | in the root terminal? | 07:16 |
| Unit193 | Recovery mode | 07:17 |
| crshbndct | ok i worked it out.. | 07:20 |
| crshbndct | bit of a bug there. but hopefully it is okay from here. | 07:20 |
| crshbndct | seems all the major distro's have a major dealbreaker bug on first boot after reinstall. | 07:21 |
| Unit193 | Heh, I only hit on upgrade :P | 07:21 |
| crshbndct | well i have been tryng a few different distros | 07:22 |
| crshbndct | ubuntu doesnt have a working browser | 07:22 |
| crshbndct | arch doesnt have a working package manager | 07:23 |
| crshbndct | fedora.... well i wont go into that | 07:23 |
| crshbndct | so something as small as having to run visudo and fix broken entries is minor really | 07:23 |
| Unit193 | So, you like this or going on to the next one? (AntiX or Puppy on that list?) | 07:24 |
| crshbndct | already tried puppy.. no wifi with that. | 07:25 |
| crshbndct | no wifi with this one either, but i havent really tried much | 07:25 |
| crshbndct | (and i didnt have any sudo access :P) | 07:25 |
| Unit193 | !wifi |I can toss you this :P | 07:26 |
| ubot5 | I can toss you this :P: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:26 |
| crshbndct | lol i wasnt gonna ask that.. but thanks i would have eventually ended up there. | 07:26 |
| crshbndct | hmmm it looks like a disaster. is this machine possible just too slow for lubuntu? | 07:31 |
| crshbndct | pentium m 720(2ghz), 1.25 gb ram, 40gb hdd | 07:31 |
| Unit193 | Better than what I have | 07:35 |
| crshbndct | i dont know what witchcraft you must be doing then :) the system is totally overcome by running update manager. | 07:40 |
| bioterror | it's the hard drive | 07:41 |
| crshbndct | too slow? | 07:41 |
| bioterror | probably so | 07:41 |
| bioterror | 5400RPM with almost non cache is slow | 07:41 |
| crshbndct | thats odd. given that i can run kubuntu on this machine alright. i thought lxde was supposed to be lighter than KDE? | 07:42 |
| kanliot | hey crsh i know you from LAS channel sup! | 07:44 |
| crshbndct | SUP!! | 07:44 |
| crshbndct | task manager shows 100% cpu usage load average 1.95 | 07:44 |
| crshbndct | yet top is not showing any kind of process which could be hogging cpu | 07:45 |
| bioterror | if cpu usage is 100%, then it should show you processes that takes CPU | 07:45 |
| bioterror | right? | 07:45 |
| crshbndct | yeah | 07:45 |
| crshbndct | okay rebooting now | 07:47 |
| crshbndct | i will keep digging away at it, thanks for your help anyway | 07:48 |
| crshbndct | no it seeme to be horribly broken | 08:00 |
| crshbndct | cross that one off the list then | 08:00 |
| kanliot | probably drivers | 08:07 |
| iceroot | hi | 08:58 |
| iceroot | what is the name of the program coming up on "alt+f2"? | 08:58 |
| iceroot | the latest dist-upgrade (12.04) is tryxing to pull "libbluray" because it depends on gnome-mplayer which is coming from lubuntu-desktop. is that legal that lubuntu-desktop comes per default with libbluray? | 09:06 |
| Sillion | Hi | 09:07 |
| iceroot | if i am correct it was not allowed to ship "libdvdcss" so i guess the same goes for "libbluray" | 09:07 |
| Unit193 | iceroot: That's part of lxpanel | 09:07 |
| Sillion | I'd like to change the colour of the status window (the one which pop up when there is something going on) | 09:08 |
| iceroot | Unit193: thank you, then i will create a bug against lxpanel | 09:08 |
| Unit193 | No, not that part.... | 09:08 |
| Unit193 | lxpanelctl run is alt+f2 | 09:08 |
| iceroot | Unit193: thank you | 09:09 |
| iceroot | Unit193: but lxpanelctl is coming from lxpanel, so it should be correct to open a bug against the package lxpanel | 09:10 |
| Unit193 | What's wrong with it? | 09:10 |
| iceroot | Unit193: no focus after alt+f2 for the run-window | 09:10 |
| iceroot | no focus = run-dialig behind all other windows | 09:11 |
| Unit193 | Try searching a little bit at least before reporting bugs >_< | 09:12 |
| iceroot | Unit193: would be great if launchpad would to that when creating bugs | 09:13 |
| iceroot | like the bugzilla from mozilla.org | 09:13 |
| Unit193 | Bug #890395 it does | 09:13 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 889414 in lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #890395 Run dialog opens up in the background" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/889414 | 09:13 |
| iceroot | Unit193: thank you | 09:14 |
| Unit193 | And for blueray, are you sure it's not libbluray1? | 09:15 |
| Unit193 | Did you even look at what the package does? | 09:15 |
| Unit193 | "Most commercial Blu-Ray are restricted by AACS or BD+ technologies and this library is not enough to playback those discs." | 09:15 |
| iceroot | Legal: libbluray is DRM-circumvention free, and thus, safe to integrate in your software. | 09:17 |
| iceroot | ok, then i was wrong | 09:17 |
| iceroot | Unit193: thank you for the info on lxpanel and libbluray12 | 09:19 |
| iceroot | -2 | 09:19 |
| Unit193 | Yea | 09:19 |
| awsome | i'm on lubuntu :D | 10:16 |
| morri | hi guys | 15:15 |
| morri | is there any thing world changing new in firefox 9.0.1? | 15:16 |
| holstein | i usually add the stable PPA https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable | 15:16 |
| morri | and when I use the shut down button sometimes the dialogue only contains a few options such reboot or hibernate etc but not shut down. mostly if I cancel and do it again it shows all the options. anyone got an idea why that may be? | 15:17 |
| holstein | something with power management and your specific hardware maybe?... i would try applying all upgrades and see if that helps.. if you are up to date, you can try an earlier kernel version and see if the performance is different | 15:18 |
| morri | well since it is a normal pc(not laptop) it is on normal pc power management | 15:19 |
| morri | it doesnt do it alway though just occasionally | 15:19 |
| holstein | right.. still the kernel is a good place to start... | 15:20 |
| morri | I'll have a look into previous version , | 15:21 |
| holstein | you can set a shortcut or script to use sudo shutdown -h now | 15:22 |
| holstein | you can search around for a bug relating to your hardware... in my experience, the shutdown button triggers nothing from LXDE or lubuntu, and i assume its misconfiguration on my part, or something i have not yet aquired the skill to setup | 15:23 |
| morri | yea- I use the terminal sometimes anyway- buit as I say it is seemingly random whether it does it or not and it shopws everything at second try anyway | 15:23 |
| txomon|home | any lightweight ppt viewer? Or do I have to install libreoffice? | 16:21 |
| epictetus | txomon|home: web based ones | 16:24 |
| epictetus | i.e. google apps | 16:25 |
| epictetus | or various "web meeting" sites that let you upload and view powerpoint | 16:25 |
| txomon|home | puff so no | 16:28 |
| txomon|home | _I meant apps | 16:28 |
| thor_ | Hi i am testing lxfind in lubuntu 12.04. And find do not works in it, get error that it can not get access. Only locate works | 17:26 |
| thor_ | using lxfind_0.0.1-0~17 | 17:28 |
| Wulong | Does someone have a script for wifi-connection verification & connect I can run with cron each 5min? | 18:41 |
| holstein | ping work for you Wulong ? | 18:41 |
| Wulong | if iwconfig wlan0 | grep -o "Access Point: Not-Associated"; then do-some-rutine;fi works | 18:44 |
| Wulong | But I need the routine. | 18:45 |
| Wulong | I need to send some call to NM to reconnect | 18:46 |
| Wulong | NetworkManager is pretty dumb when it comes to reconnection. | 18:46 |
| Wulong | sudo service network-manager restart seems to do it. | 18:48 |
| venik212 | How do I get ICONS ONLY for the task bar? | 19:09 |
| wxl | venik212: that's in the guides | 19:09 |

| venik212 | I right click on the task bar | 19:10 |

| smile4ever | bye :) | 19:34 |
| Ahmuck | i know that ubuntu is using thunderbird for e-mail, what are they using for calerding now? | 20:59 |
| Unit193 | You may want to ask a channel that has a better chance of knowing.... Thunderbird has a calendar extension that is rather good though | 21:01 |
| Ahmuck | it's getting tiring switching from one to the next to the next. what is lubuntu using for calandering? | 21:07 |
| wxl | Ahmuck: man cal | 21:07 |
| wxl | j/k ;) | 21:08 |
| wxl | seriously, though, there's no out-of-the-box support for calendars like you mean it | 21:08 |
