OptikKoreHey guys im trying to install 11.10 x86 on an acer aspire one 522 but lubuntu freezes as soon as it boots up04:22
OptikKorei get to pick a language, then select install it goes through its booting process and the lubunut loading screen then i get black desktop and it freezes at mouse pointer or at hour glass immediately04:24
holsteinOptikKore: i would reference https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne52204:27
wxlanyone use guvcview?04:30
holsteinwxl: i have.. and i suggested it earlier, though it didnt seem to work out for this user04:30
holsteini usually just use VLC04:30
wxlholstein: it seems to fail for me trying to capture video04:44
myndziany chance someone knows why i can't adjust the key repeat rate via the control panel? (also kbdrate only goes down to 250ms delay)08:18
pAt_hi guys. I have problems with lx-panel sometimes. I have a fresh install on a new laptop since some weeks. everything works fine with Lubuntu. But sometimes, the lx-panel consumpts 100% processor suddenly, and when I click on a minimized window in the panel, another window opens, which is located right in the panel, next to the one I wanted to open. Has anyone the same problem, or does anybody know what it could be?10:56
MrChrisDruifFirst time I hear about it pAt_10:57
pAt_yes, it is very strange MrChrisDruif10:57
pAt_most of the time, everything works absolutely fine10:58
pAt_I don't know how to start to solve this.10:59
pAt_I have a Nvidia Geforce G105M with the proprietary nvidia drivers running11:00
MrChrisDruifSeems like pretty recent hw?11:02
pAt_I bought the laptop in October 2011 brand new. But is is a cheap one €29911:03
pAt_but it runs excellent, very fast11:03
pAt_Has a dual core pentium 2 x 2.3 Ghz11:03
pAt_and I have 4 GB Ram11:03
MrChrisDruifPentium 2? O_O11:03
pAt_nah, a Pentium T4500 dual core :D11:04
pAt_with 2 x 2.3 GHz11:04
MrChrisDruifWould have been awesome thou, dual-core Pentium 2 ^_^11:04
pAt_:11:04
pAt_:D11:04
pAt_This laptop is very strange. First I installed Debian Wheezy with LXDE. The laptop worked, but it was very slow regarding the graphics. Also it stucks sometimes for 1-2 seconds not responding. With Lubuntu, it runs much faster than with pure Debian LXDE :D11:07
bioterrorfreezing for a sec or two could be relatex to harddrive11:29
bioterrorrelated11:29
pAt_yes, that could be bioterror, maybe the hardware is not as good supporten in Debian as in Lubuntu. In Lubuntu, there are is no freezing anymore, nore slow graphics.11:37

devnethi16:13
devnetanyone know how to change what the volume applet controls? (pcm, master, headphone)16:13
devnetit's controlling a worthless channel right now that doesn't raise or lower the volume16:13
holsteindevnet: you can always use alsamixer in the terminal16:14
devnetholstein: of course, and that's a nice 4 step process around a point and click one16:14
devnetI'm looking for a solution on the volume icon itself16:14
holsteindevnet: we can call that option A if you'd like16:15
devnetmeh16:15
holsteinyou can install gnome volume applet16:15
holsteinyou can install *any* other volume control or widget you choose16:15
holsteinyou can map it to some keys on your keyboard16:15
holsteinyou can remap what the current volume control is controling16:15
devnetI just thought it might be as simple as altering a config for the panel16:15
holsteini think its just a matter of figuring out what to search for16:15
devnetthat applet should be disabled by default16:16
holsteindevnet: well, for you it should... for me it works fine, on all the machines ive tested on16:16
holsteinyou can account for *all* hardware16:16
holsteincant*16:16
devnetwell, it could definitely be improved to allow channel selection16:17
devnettoo bad the lxde guys can't get that done16:17
holsteindevnet: im sure its do-able16:17
devnetvolwheel and volumeicon have it as standalone  applets16:17
holsteinhttp://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=31166 is someone else with that question...16:17
* holstein looking around...16:17
devnetholstein: you won't find much16:17
* devnet has been searching for about 2 hrs16:18
devneta lot of 'use alsamixer' or 'install this mixer' which really does nothing to solve the problem16:18
devnetif only there were a conf file to point it to a diff channel :)16:18
holsteinwell, installing gnome volume control would do a few things.. we know that funcionality is in the gnome one, and we know how to use it since we are more used to it16:19
holsteinor at least, i am/was more used to it16:19
holsteinyou could also try pulse16:19
devnetyou said the 'p' word16:19
devnet:(16:19
devnetI think a kitten just died16:20
holsteindevnet: if you want a quick fix, you'll need to find an LXDE dev.. you could try mailing lists for lubuntu and/or LXDE... otherwise, its going to be a matter of trial and error til you get it the way you want it16:20
holsteindevnet: ?16:20
devnetno worries16:20
holsteindevnet: what P word?16:20
devnetpulseaudio16:21
devnetit's a curse word in my circles16:21
devnetlol16:21
holsteindevnet: so... if it solve this issue, is that a problem?16:21
holsteinshouldnt be16:21
devnetit does when it breaks after reboot :|16:21
holsteini use both alsa only and pulse over alsa.. i have had serious issues in both cases16:21
holsteini have also had flawless performance in both cases16:22
holsteindevnet: we can call that option P, and you can ignore it then.. but you can also add that to your support query "..and i am not willing to test using pulse"16:22

Sentyneldownbeam: you're on lubuntu 11.10 and you want to update amarok from 2.4.3 to 2.5?20:03
downbeamya20:03
downbeami mean amarok didn't come with lubuntu..20:03
Sentynelyou need to add the kubuntu backports repository, which is ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports20:03
SentynelI wouldn't recommend doing it right now, however, as that backports repo also has kde4.8 in and there's currently a display glitch with amarok on kde 4.820:04
Sentynelwe've sent patches to the packagers so it should be fixed fairly soon20:04
downbeamsenty what about vlc?20:05
Sentyneldon't know if there's a vlc updates ppa off the top of my head, or whether it's in main ubuntu backports20:07
