Eruadanhi, i want to install lubuntu 10.04. I can find only this link that says 10.10 . Is that correct? http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-10.10.iso03:12
kanliotdon't think so03:16
kanliothttp://lubuntu.net/blog/lubuntu-1004-now-available-download03:17
kanliotbut it's not supported so your mileage may vary03:17
kanliotand why the hell would you not want 11.10?03:18
kanliotkernel?03:18
Eruadanis in the home page http://lubuntu.net/blog/lubuntu-1004-now-available-download03:18

Eruadanhow can i change screen resolution ?04:31
hartleymenu>prefs>monitor settings04:32
Eruadanhartley, thanks, why i haave maximum res only 800x 600?04:38
Eruadani installed it inside virtual box04:39
Eruadanusing windows vista as host04:39
hartleyi believe you can set your hardware specs in virtual box.04:39
Eruadanit's funny, cause i installed archlinux the same way, and i din't have such issue04:40
hartleydoes it still limit the res when you full screen virtualbox? or is there a setting to start virtualbox fullscreen?04:41
Eruadani can't change any settings in virtual box04:41
Eruadanyes, it does, that is the problem, it is set to full screeen, but it doesn't fill all the screen04:41
Eruadanwith only 800x60004:42
hartleywhat im thinking is virtualbox starts in an 800x600, but the graphic settings arent refreshed when the screen changes to fullscreen.04:42
Eruadanmaybe, i'm not expert04:43
Eruadani just can say that archlinux doesn't give me that issue04:43
kanlioton vmware you have to install vmware tools04:43
kanliotmaybe it's somethign similar for vbox04:43
Eruadanbut all derivates of ubuntu does04:43
Eruadanincluding xubuntu, lucid server and lubuntu04:43
Eruadani see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools04:45
Eruadanit would be nice, if there was something for vb like that04:45
hartleyyeah, but looked through the vb settings. didnt see anything relating to monitors, or to starting vb in fullscreen.04:47
Eruadanif the host was ubuntu, then i got the solution04:49
gordon1234Re VirtualBox .... have you installed Guest Additions & Extension Pack?04:49
Eruadanhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBAbcwsKog804:49
Eruadanthe host is a windows machine04:50
Eruadangordon1234, should i install those on the host windows?04:50
gordon1234Eruaden: Yes, I think so. No expert either though, but it sorted out some resolution problems I was having on a wide screen monitor04:52
gordon1234Here for main prog and Extension Pack https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads04:53
gordon1234Here for Guest additions http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html04:54
Eruadani think i found it http://askubuntu.com/questions/3205/higher-screen-resolution-in-virtualbox04:54
gordon1234Eruadan, yes, looks like Guest Additions will help you out, but I would do the extension pack too. The info I gave is for the Oracle VirtualBox app. This may be different from the one you are using??04:58
hartleyyep yep. agree. the guest additions should work.04:58
Eruadancool04:58
Eruadani'm installing it  ^^04:58
hartleyshould correct things like changing of monitor resolutions (which doesnt happen on real hardware, your max 1024x768 screen will always have that max res)04:59
gordon1234Extension Pack and Guest Additions are ISOs. The Extension Pack is installed from the Main VirtualBox Host window, the Guest additions are installed once you start the new machine Iif that makes sense!)04:59
Eruadansure, the additions i install with apt-get inside the guest05:00
Eruadanugh...it's a big package, still installing it05:01
gordon1234not sure ... I think you may have to mount the ISO on VirtualBox before starting the virtual machine.05:02
Eruadanyeahhhh05:06
Eruadanit works05:06
Eruadanthis is the only thing i did http://askubuntu.com/questions/3205/higher-screen-resolution-in-virtualbox05:07

Sentynelrtdos: ctrl+alt+f{1..6} drop out of the gui; ctrl+alt+f7 brings it back18:28
Sentynel...18:28

milen8204smile, whit extension .desktop ?18:30
smilegridbag: try google images :)18:31
milen8204smile, or you mean to pate containing of wallpaper file in docky.desktop ?18:32
smilemilen8204: you copy a .desktop file from /usr/share/applications and you adapt it to your needs. exec is lxterminal sh wallpaper.sh or sh wallpaper.sh18:32
smileyou have to experiment with the exec-line :)18:32
gridbaghead up looks like a complete disaster.18:33
milen8204ok, I will try18:34
Sentynelrtdos: ctrl+alt+f{1..6} drop out of the gui; ctrl+alt+f7 brings it back18:34
Sentynelrtdos: if necessary you can alter the init files to prevent the gui from being started in the first place18:35
rtdosSentynel: how? i don't mind keeping the GUI login screen but everyonce in awhile i need a gui-less desktop (command line only), is this possible to create a blank session to do that?18:36
smilemilen8204: good luck :)18:37
Sentynelrtdos: from the gui login screen, you can just drop to tty and stop whatever the gui process is18:38
Sentynellxdm I think18:38
Sentynelyou can block it from starting automatically when the system starts, but you'd need to manually start it every time you did want it18:39
smileSentynel: yes, it's lxdm :)18:39
rtdoswill try that. :)18:39
Sentynelalso, I believe that some of the login screens (kubuntu's, I think) do offer the option to stop the x server, but I don't think lubuntu's does18:39
smile~xintrc contains the line to start lxdm i think :)18:39
milen8204smile, thanks18:41
smilemilen8204: it works? :)18:42
smile* xinitrc :)18:42
milen8204smile I think no18:42

eggzecklubuntu runs well on this old IBM ThinkPad T41. Sound issues (but I will be dealing with that soon). I'm going to install it on my girlfriends laptop too, remove Ubuntu. Good stuff.23:21
valdur55eggzeck, sound issues... Explain it!23:22
eggzeckvaldur55: Everything seems to be working except I can't hear anything.23:26
valdur55Is mixer unmuted?23:28
eggzeckvaldur55: Yes. There's something else going on, not sure what it is yet at this point but I'll figure it out.23:28
valdur55eggzeck, Ok. Check alsamixer ...23:29
eggzeckvaldur55: Yeah, everything looks good in alsamixer23:31
valdur55ok!23:33
eggzeckgot it23:36
eggzeckit almost seems as if there's two adapters, I had to enter alsamixer and hit f6 to choose the ThinkPad Console Audio Control23:39
eggzeckHere's the interesting part, at the graphical level my volume "is turned up all the way" yet if I hit "mute" on my laptop's controlls it does not show as "muted" at the volume control23:41
eggzeckwhich is what confused me23:41
eggzecklooks like the volume control on in the GUI  controlls the master volume and the "up" and "down" keys on my laptop controll that ThinkPad Controller Console in alsamixer23:43
eggzeckIn any case my sound is working now! YEEEEAHHHHH!23:44
eggzeckvaldur55: Thank you for telling me to look in alsamixer, I don't think I would have figured it out that fast if you hadn't said that.23:47
valdur55eggzeck, wait.. there is one trick!23:49
valdur55leafpad ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml   and search RaiseVolume23:51
valdur55:) make your changes and save it.23:51
valdur55then volume keys are working nicely23:52
