=== _h4ckm3 is now known as h4ckm3
immediatelyI can't  sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.1 because none????01:08
Unit193Try virtualbox, not virtualbox-4.101:09
immediatelyI did yup01:19
CellTechI'm on Xubuntu. Should I switch to Lubuntu?01:47
holsteinshould?.. you should do what you like CellTech ... you can have both XFCE and LXDE and choose between them.. id say LXDE is lighter... XFCE is more like gnome2 was if thats your thing01:48
Unit193Ask that in the Lubuntu channel with no context?01:48
h4ckm3I use lubuntu01:49
Unit193Except far better ;)01:49
h4ckm3lighter and faster!01:49
Unit193Anywho, what makes you think you may want to switch?01:49
h4ckm3LXDE is also what I use on this fedora1601:49
h4ckm3very fast light and customizable01:49
h4ckm3do it... switch!01:50
h4ckm3or like holstein says, have both01:50
Unit193Or stick with what you already know. :P01:50
h4ckm3you won't learn anything that way!01:51
CellTechWell I've seen all the 'buntu's are the same01:51
CellTechsome are just lighter and faster than others01:51
h4ckm3lubuntu ftw01:51
CellTechAnd that's what I know... Sorry for the 'flood'01:51
Unit193Well, try a live cd, see what you like, the config is a bit different though.01:51
holsteinCellTech: the *buntu's have access to the same repositories of software... the look and feel are quite different.. for example, kubuntu and lubuntu... KDE and LXDE are quite different01:52
h4ckm3true01:52
h4ckm3kde can do some sweet stuff01:52
CellTechI just like the software ease01:52
h4ckm3but it is heavby01:53
h4ckm3kde has a lot of good software01:53
h4ckm3amarok for example01:53
h4ckm3though they can be run on alternate systems, just with extra dependencies01:53
holsteinyup.. its all in the repos :)01:54
CellTechI just like light and fast01:54
CellTechAnd if lubuntu is that. I'm switching tonight01:54
holsteinid say lubuntu is the lightest and fastest buntu variant01:54
holsteinCellTech: but you dont need to *switch*01:55
holsteinyou can check lubuntu out live.. you can install LXDE... you can install lubuntu-desktop01:55
holsteinyou can have both01:55
CellTechYeah. But I'm a fan of 1 os per system01:56
Unit193Yep, but you can check the live, just know Lubuntu is more configfile based.01:56
CellTechNice.. Thank you01:56

KM0201gotcha...13:35
KM0201brb13:35
valdur55maybe it works, maybe not..13:35
valdur55but it doesn't load full live desktop13:35
KM0201so who went and jacked with the installer?13:39
KM0201it was fine the way i twas before.13:39
KM0201now it looks like some emo kid did it13:39

KM0201meh, i'm using the current daily.. it's already installing13:41
KM0201no big deal13:41
valdur55KM0201, oh... you booted to installer mode?13:41
KM0201no, i just booted live mode13:41
KM0201again13:41
KM0201you can read it, it's just hard.. gray on black is a little ridiculous13:41
valdur55ohcibi, it isn't full black window?13:42
valdur55Make screenshoot13:42
KM0201sorry, past it... you said it was known so i didn't bother.13:42
KM0201now (it's actually installing) it looks like the normal lubuntu install screen13:42
KM0201hard to believe its almost april..13:43
KM0201brb13:52
valdur55KM0201: Hey! It's theme problem... just not more14:22

KM0201yeah, but.. that's kinda ridiculous.. not that i'm overly concerned about it..14:23
KM0201just hope it gets fixed14:23

kubanchow do i setup display resolution, because i can only have 640x460 and lower resolutions?15:27
holsteinkubanc: i would try arandr15:39
kubancholstein, the problem is that i also get unable to load X server diplay configuration page for Nvidia geforce2 mx 40015:41
holsteinkubanc: i would try forcing vesa with a custom xorg.conf15:41
kubancwhat if i try older drivers?15:42
kubancactualy i'm getting : Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:15:43
kubancFailed to query NoScanout for screen 0.15:43
holsteinkubanc: you'll need to try something to get different results.. the vesa driver is what should work with any hardware... but go for it!15:43
kubancholstein, OK, i'll try, can you give my some help. Probably first i need to do is uninstall nvidia drivers with command sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*15:46
holsteinkubanc: i would just use a custom xorg.conf that forces the vesa driver15:47
kubancholstein, i did sudo/etc/init.d/lxde stop and the sudo X -configure. And now i get number of creater screens does not match number of detected devices15:52
holsteinkubanc: not sure about your particular setup... i typically get a knoppix live CD when i run into trouble, and grab the xorg.conf from there... tweak a bit and drop it in to *buntu15:53
kubancnot a bed idea :D15:53
holsteinkubanc: i think puppy linux could help with this too...15:54
kubanci just copy xorg.conf to folder etc/X11/15:56
holsteinkubanc: thats what i would try... i would familiarize yourself with where that file is, and how to get to it and edit it from a live CD... then, you can always go in and rename it *.bad or whatever and get back to where you are now15:59
kubancwell i deleted nvidia drivers, restarted and now the display is OK15:59
holsteinyup... you likely dont *need* nvidia drivers... if you are here for the lighter desktop anyways16:00
pmatuliswhere can i put a shell script that should be run when i log in via lightdm?18:47

pmatulisphillw: thanks18:55
Unit193pmatulis: While it's not quite recommended, if that doesn't work you can have a play with /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart just note that it'd be a global change.19:14

moesBooting lubuntu-10.10 from live cd...high end computer boot screen show lubuntu-10.10 and o/s specs is correct...low end computer boot screen is purple ubuntu-10.10 and o/s spec are also ubuntu-10.1020:02

moesUnit193, Please elaborate on how using a more powerful distro would eliminate my problem.20:13
Unit193Lubuntu 11.10 is the up to date version, Lubuntu 10.10 is older.  I'm not talking about changing anything but versions.20:14

valdur55output*20:25
valdur55 `bash -x xdg-open http://www.ubuntu.com`20:26
pmatulisUnit193: re global change, yeah, it's to set resolutions on multi-monitor (with xrandr) and to set up a 2nd language on the k/b20:28

david_j_rAnyone here who can tell me how to restart Lxpanel?23:16
icerootwxl: do we still need some debug on this "everything black" issue as talked yesterday?23:16
icerootdavid_j_r: lxpanelctl restart    should do the job23:17
david_j_rThat seems kind of simple. ;)23:17
david_j_rBut did the trick nicely! Many thanks. :)23:18
david_j_rMy icons all went AWOL, but it's back to normal now.23:18
icerootdavid_j_r: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/906825 that?23:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 906825 in lxpanel (Ubuntu) "[11.10 - 12.04] lxpanel crashing randomly. High CPU-Load nothing is clickable correctly. Redraw fails" [Undecided,Confirmed]23:19
david_j_rHmm.23:20
david_j_rNot sure, but could be.23:20
david_j_rI use "autohide" and panel at top,23:21
david_j_rand when it "dropped" down, I only had the wifi icon on the right and nothing on the left, but the menu would respond if I clicked where it was supposed to be. (Where the lubuntu logo is)23:22
david_j_rNo idea what triggered that, though.23:22
icerootdavid_j_r: if you are facing the issue again, can you look at "top" if lxpanel is going wild with 100% cpu usage? also what lubuntu version are you using?23:24
david_j_rI'm on 11.1023:24
david_j_rJust reading through the thread on the bug report.23:25
david_j_rI'm not sure if that's the same as what I had, as I was able to click on things and get a response.23:25
icerootdavid_j_r: at the moment i am doing some debugging on that bug23:25
david_j_rdo you know how I could try to reproduce it?23:25
icerootdavid_j_r: ah ok, then it sounds different23:25
icerootdavid_j_r: i can reproduce "my" bug with "opening many programs and quickly switch between them using the mouse on the lxpanel entries23:26
Unit193lxpanelxtrl restart, hit alt+F2 and type that in. Not sure if it's already answered.23:26
david_j_rThere's also this suggestion (a bit vague): [quote]steps to reproduce: produce a very high cpu load (in this case it was a very high io-load), then switch windows by clicking on the entrys in lxpanel, after some seconds lxpanel crashed (100%cpu load)[/quote]23:27
david_j_rUnit193: yep, got that above, thanks (but "lxpanelctl" not "...xtl")23:27
Unit193Typo, and faulty memory, time to get a newer model....23:28
david_j_r;)23:29
david_j_rGot something funky happening now, but not a "panel crash" or the like.23:31
david_j_rGot a bunch of things open, and I can Alt-Tab through them fine, but it draws the frames of each on the screen, and23:32
david_j_rif I try clicking on the bottom panel (where the windows are), the there's no response at all.23:32
david_j_rBut my CPU is reporting 16% :)23:32
icerootdavid_j_r: yes i was reporting this "vague suggestion"23:33
david_j_rUnless it was frozen, because it's working OK now.23:33
david_j_r:)23:33
icerootdavid_j_r: but what you are reporting is exactly what "my" bug is about23:33
david_j_riceroot: the problem I have with Lubuntu is getting the high CPU load. ;)23:33
iceroothttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs23:33
icerootah wrong paste...23:33
icerootdavid_j_r: that is not a big problem23:34
icerootdavid_j_r: just copy some files, do "apt-get update" or something like that23:34
david_j_rno probs - What I'm getting NOW is yr bug, but when I first came on IRC it was different.23:34
icerootjust a little io-load is needed23:34
icerootdavid_j_r: i have a fixed packaged uploaded on that bug "only for i386, 12.04)23:34
