CelltechHow do I change the clock to american time?02:26
CelltechClock Format %R What's it for 12hr time?02:27
phillwCelltech: give me one mo02:28
CelltechOk02:28
phillwI thought you asked a different Q.02:29
phillwhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#I_have_an_English_desktop_and_I_want_calendar_week_to_start_from_Monday_instead_of_Sunday02:29
phillwdoes the setting of the day of the week, I'll go get the time version for you.02:29
CelltechGot it.02:30
CelltechLowercase r02:30
CelltechDoes lubuntu need restricted extras?02:30
phillwhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/CustomizingTheClock02:31
phillwCelltech: only if you want to access the stuff not freely under licence, it can be added via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#Playing_Restricted_Formats I'll let you guess which link to click on :)02:33
CelltechI just changed the clock. Now I'm wondering about restricted extras. Do I just instal the standard ubuntu ones?02:34
phillwCelltech: if you are running lubuntu... I'd suggest the lubuntu link?02:35
CelltechWhere's that at ?02:35
phillwhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#Playing_Restricted_Formats02:36
phillwCelltech: ^^02:36
CelltechThank you02:36
phillwall 4 flavours are listed02:36
CelltechLink only opens chrome. Doesn't do anything02:37
Unit193apt:lubuntu-restricted-extras?section=universe?section=multiverse This link does? If so, odd...02:38
Unit193`sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras`  at any rate02:38
CelltechThat's better. Thank you again02:40
phillwCelltech: chromium should just ask for permission02:40
phillwif you say "yes" than it should get on and do it?02:41
CelltechIt's installing.02:41
phillwCelltech: sudo apt get will do anything, just checking as to why the posted link does not.02:44
CelltechI'm still learning the sudo apt-get thing02:45
CelltechI just switched from Ubuntu, to Xubuntu, Just now to Lubuntu02:45
Celltechin a week02:45
rawfodogDoes lubuntu run in seamless mode via virtualbox ? Do the additions work with it ?04:09
rawfodogIve only tried a real install04:09
phillwrawfodog: I ran lubuntu in VB, it behaves perfectly, as would be expected from one of the ubuntu family. As to alpha's and beta's, well they are supposed to mis behave... that's why we have VB's :)04:22
phillwrawfodog: just make sure you add the 'additions' to each VB and not to the core, as ubuntu has KVM in the core and they will not work together.04:24
phillwyou can remove kvm from the core if you wish.04:24
rawfodogthanks phillw04:25
rawfodogHow do I specify that ? Won't running ./VBox___etc work ?04:25
phillwrawfodog: I use04:29

Guest15844Hello all. Looking for assistance with Lubuntu 12.04 booting in Virtualbox. Is this the right place? Thanks.18:37
Unit193Well, not if you don't ask your question...18:38
Guest15844Thanks. While booting 12.04 is booting in VB I'm dumped to a CL. This happens in live and install options. Any ideas?18:39
Unit193Big long thread in the mailing list, phillw may be able to remember some of it, but generally, it's a dev version, it's not going to work out the best for now.18:40
Guest15844Not going to work best for now ... for VB in particular or booting in general?18:41
Unit193In general, but he may have ideas.18:41
phillwGuest15844: I have seen the issue mentioned - I'm trying to find a bug report for you.18:42
phillwI can only find a reference for ppc18:42
Guest15844Thanks phillw, appreciate the effort.18:43
phillwGuest15844: can you start lubuntu?18:43
phillwfrom CLI?18:43
Guest15844The only command I attempted from CLI was 'startx' and it failed.18:44
Unit193I got it to work once by starting x, then `startlubuntu`, but that was an odd way and a while ago...18:45
Guest15844I'll give 'startlubuntu' a try ...18:45
phillwUnit193: I'm also struggling to dust off my memory cells, it's been a while since I faced this one :(18:46
Guest15844for reference: Originally got no boot, until manually selected PAE option in VB.18:47
phillwGuest15844: try /usr/bin/startlubuntu18:49
Guest15844Feedback: 'startlubuntu' from CLI give output - GTK warning cannot open display18:49
Unit193Either `sudo service lightdm start` or `sudo X` and type the `startlubuntu` only for the second in another TTY18:52
phillwGuest15844: are you using the latest daily for 12.04?18:54
Guest15844iso date is 2/25/2012, d/l'd it about 30 minutes ago.18:56
phillwGuest15844: it is possible the build has a major gremlin. Infuriatingly I do not have my VM's running.18:57
Guest15844phillw - thanks. tyring Unit193 advice - gave 'sudo X' command - for clarity now I should go to 2nd TTY and issue 'startlubuntu'?18:58
Unit193Might be worth a shot...18:58
Unit193At best.18:59
Guest15844Forgive me, how to open a second TTY from VB screen? Pecking around but no joy yet...18:59
phillwGuest15844: when testing, expect it to break - the 'fun' is in reporting what broke & what you did to fix it.18:59
Guest15844I agree.19:00
Unit193Think it's the command char +F2?19:00
phillwctrl19:00
Guest15844thanks, standby19:00
phillwfortunantely linux does keep a few spare console logins :)19:01
Guest15844sudo x - starts the boot process, but in locks with a blank screen (as far as I can tell) and was never able to switch TTY's <con't>19:04
Unit193http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8109343&postcount=2 ?19:06
Guest15844sudo service lightdm start - command not found19:06
Guest15844Unit193 - going to your link now ...19:06
Unit193Hmmm... We should be using lightdm, but you can check in /etc/init.d/ if you really want (and sudo /etc/init.d/*whatever*dm start )19:08
Guest15844Good info on VB TTY switching ... trying to boot again now19:08
Unit193Well, it worked once, but not really sure I remember what I did exactly.19:08
Guest15844got to a second tty and can also now see output on sudo x command - from 2nd tty startlubuntu gives: GTK warning cannot open display19:15
Guest15844feedback on sudo x command: the boot seems to die on error - failed to load module 'vboxvideo' module does not exist19:18
phillwGuest15844: that is a vbox problem, not a lubuntu one :(19:22
Guest15844Could be my VB version (4.0.6). I think this is a little old.19:26
phillwGuest15844: as I do not have access to VB, the best I can find is http://forums.funtoo.org/viewtopic.php?pid=405519:26
phillwGuest15844: yeah, it may be worth updating to the newest one.19:27
Guest15844Got to go. Out of playtime for now. Thanks for the help everyone.19:30
