[00:53] <quuxman> I've got an interesting problem. If I run "mplayer song.mp3" on VT1, it plays fine (using ALSA), but if I do  exactly the same in a terminal in X, it fails
[00:54] <quuxman> It prints a bunch of alsa errors, starting with: [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
[00:56] <quuxman> In the console, alsamixer works fine. If I run it from a terminal in X, I get: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[00:59] <quuxman> this is bizarre
[02:33] <reach> what happens on this page
[02:35] <BufferOverflow> Page? This is the Lubuntu support channel.
[02:36] <reach> then why isnt anyone asking question
[02:36] <BufferOverflow> Because the they may not have any.
[02:37] <reach> well i do, NEW to the os there
[02:38] <BufferOverflow> !ask
[02:41] <reach> my computer memory is like full when running the browser, i would love to know some keyboard shortcuts for lubuntu and how can i free up some memory
[02:42] <BufferOverflow> All keyboard shortcuts are defined in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml, and you can close programs, or disable some upstart jobs that aren't needed.
[02:43] <reach> oh on windows crl+alt+del brings up the task manager. how do i get that on lubuntu?
[02:44] <BufferOverflow> I don't remmeber the default, but should be ctrl+alt+del
[02:47] <reach> ohcibi, any more
[02:48] <reach> ohcibi, any more
[02:48] <reach> any mor
[02:48] <BufferOverflow> You don't need to repeat yourself....
[02:48] <BufferOverflow> If not, check the menu, it's in there.
[02:48] <reach> no that's an error
[02:50] <reach> the cd drive is detecting but not working
[02:51] <BufferOverflow> Define not working, does it not show up? Not ejecting?
[02:52] <reach> yes it does show it up but saying something about "mount"
[02:52] <BufferOverflow> So what's it say?
[06:53] <ilomabr> Hello all.  Looking for any resources on running kernel 3.2 with lubuntu 11.10...
[06:55] <bioterror> is there a reason for that?
[06:57] <rawfodog> I made the mistake in changing the right click on the desktop to the open box menu, how do I get the default lubuntu menus back for my desktop ?
[06:58] <bioterror> rawfodog, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#Right-clicking_on_desktop_pulls_up_a_menu_that_is_missing_the_.22Desktop_Preferences.22_option_and_now_I_can.27t_change_my_wallpaper
[06:58] <bioterror> lovely url
[06:58] <rawfodog> thanks man
[06:59] <rawfodog> ah nice it worked, thanks bioterror
[06:59] <rawfodog> err ,, that sounds wierd lol
[06:59] <ilomabr> On my particular hardware i saw better wireless performance using a bleeding edge distro with kernel 3.2.
[07:02] <bioterror> ilomabr, seems that the most of the ppa's doesnt have newer than 3.0.something
[07:02] <bioterror> ilomabr, compile yourself ;)
[07:04] <bioterror> ilomabr, upgrade to beta and you'll have 3.2.0-20 ;)
[07:05] <ilomabr> Is it better to wait for the release of 12? (25 days)
[07:09] <bioterror> ilomabr, hard to say
[07:09] <bioterror> this one works fine ;)
[07:11] <ilomabr> True, I'm gonna sit tight, I'm new to lubuntu (2 days) and I've never been more happy with a linux distro
[07:11] <ilomabr> Thanks for the help
[13:07] <DragoniaX_DX> hoi
[14:11] <DragoniaX_DX> how can i change processor settings?
[14:13] <holstein> DragoniaX_DX: what are you trying to change?
[14:15] <DragoniaX_DX> im looking at system information and it says intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz 800.00MHz   is it then running at 800mhz ? o.o
[14:16] <holstein> DragoniaX_DX: it likely steps
[14:17] <DragoniaX_DX> uh...
[14:18] <holstein> you can disable that though it you prefer.. i havent dealt with CPU scaling in LXDE, but in gnome2 in ubuntu 10.04, an applet can be added to control CPU scaling
[14:19] <holstein> i think knowing that term "cpu scaling", or just seeing if the system feels slow will help you
[14:20] <DragoniaX_DX> okay, im gonna try that applet if it works
[14:37] <DragoniaX_DX> hmm installed 4 software things and it says now 2001.00MHz xD thnx for helping :D
[16:46] <salex> ho installato lubuntu 12.04 , pero' non riesco ad installare adobe flashplugin installer, mi da' sempre errore
[16:47] <salex> I installed Lubuntu 12.04, but 'I can not install adobe flashplugin installer, who can help me, thanks
[16:49] <salex> I installed Lubuntu 12.04, but 'I can not install adobe flashplugin installer, who can help me, thanks
[17:02] <Elchzard> Anyone know the key combination to boot from disk with powerpc?
[17:02] <Elchzard> PowerBook G4 specifically
[17:02] <Elchzard> Command + Option + something
[17:02] <Unit193> C or Option?
[17:36] <dustman> hi
[17:37] <dustman> does lununtu read .xinitrc when user logs in?
[17:38] <dustman> I'd like to add kbd switch between dk/ru, but can't figure out how to do it
[17:39] <dustman> lxkeymap doesn't allow me to 'add' new layout, just switch existing one
[17:39] <dustman> and writing '
[17:39] <dustman> setxkbmap -layout "dk,ru" -variant ",phonetic" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" ' to .xinitrc or .xsession doesn't seem to work
[17:40] <dustman> it works tho if simply typed in terminal
[17:45] <dustman> k, just a notice: fixed it by adding that line to .xprofile
[18:07] <kristian_aalborg> cheers
[18:07] <kristian_aalborg> I just put lubuntu on an old box... everything was cool until I decided to get a wifi dongle
[18:08] <kristian_aalborg>  RTL8191su is the chip.... I see the networks, but can't connect
[18:08] <kristian_aalborg> holstein, head_victim etc - hi, you know me
[18:08] <holstein> kristian_aalborg: hey
[18:09] <holstein> i would try ndisgtk or whatever the ndiswrapper GUI is
[18:09] <holstein> might need to blacklist the offending module
[18:09] <kristian_aalborg> the nick is altered because I'm on a different box than usually
[18:09] <holstein> OR, just go right back to the store and try another one ;)
[18:09] <kristian_aalborg> well. I tore apart the cellophane already
[18:10] <holstein> shouldnt matter
[18:10] <kristian_aalborg> I am reading about the problem on ubuntuforums
[18:10] <holstein> you should be able to exchange
[18:10] <kristian_aalborg> does matter - the shop is closed and I'm leaving this place tonight
[18:10] <holstein> i always ask before i leave the store though...
[18:10] <kristian_aalborg> (the place where the box is, not this mortal coil"
[18:11] <kristian_aalborg> yeah, I usually ask but there was some kind of situation there today
[18:11] <kristian_aalborg> regardless
[18:11] <holstein> yeah.. try the windows driver
[18:12] <holstein> that GUI makes it pretty painless, and i bet you have a disc with it on it already :) ...literally wont hurt anything
[18:16] <kristian_aalborg> I'll give it a shot
[18:16] <kristian_aalborg> in an aside, are things well in your end?
[18:16] <holstein> yup... busy... happy :) not bad at all!
[18:16] <holstein> and you?
[18:16] <kristian_aalborg> I'm fine... studying
[18:17] <kristian_aalborg> not too busy, which equals broke but other than that I'm fine
[18:22] <kristian_aalborg> I may have gotten a writing gig... can I perhaps interview you (it will be brief)
[18:22] <kristian_aalborg> it's for a music website
[18:34] <kristian_aalborg> okay, so I got the inf via ndiswrapper
[18:35] <holstein> kristian_aalborg: anytime
[18:35] <holstein> you know where to find me :)
[18:35] <kristian_aalborg> cool
[19:33] <FernandoCueva> anybody here can help me increase the resolution my max out is at 800x600
[19:46] <kanliot> fernando, what is the native resolution your monitor?
[20:39] <FernandoCueva> kanliot, I dont know everything
[20:40] <bioterror> faq has guide
[20:41] <phillw> FernandoCueva: no one does (although the MOTU's come pretty close :P )
[20:41] <Unit193> I have needed to generate a xorg.conf in the past to get anything good.
[20:42] <MrChrisDruif> phillw; you lie ;-)
[20:43] <FernandoCueva> how to find out my native res from my lcd
[20:43] <bioterror> from google for example
[20:44] <FernandoCueva> I don't  it knows
[20:44] <bioterror> usually monitors says "this is wrong resolution"
[20:44] <FernandoCueva> I don't think it knows that
[20:44] <bioterror> I bet it knows it
[20:44] <FernandoCueva> my lcd does 1024 with some other os but not lubuntu
[20:44] <FernandoCueva> it did on windows too
[20:45] <bioterror> then 1024x768 it is
[20:45] <FernandoCueva> I used both tools cvt and gtf to find out mode numbers
[20:46] <AngelForget> lubuntu is very good
[20:47] <FernandoCueva> they were different but still got same error configure crtc 0 failed
[20:49] <FernandoCueva> I hate how lubuntu doesn't provide the application bar I have to alt tab to go to the next application
[20:50] <bioterror> what?
[20:50] <iceroot> FernandoCueva: working fine here
[20:50] <FernandoCueva> when you open multiple applications the bars aren't on the taskbar
[20:51] <iceroot> FernandoCueva: by default you have
[20:51] <AngelForget> look what else the bar Aplications FernandoCueva
[20:52] <FernandoCueva> if you minimze an application they hide
[20:52] <FernandoCueva> no way to retrieve them by with alt tab
[20:53] <AngelForget> looks good in the properties of the bar
[20:54] <iceroot> i have no idea what you are talking about, sorry
[20:55] <FernandoCueva> the properties of the bar lack option to make applications visibile on the taskbar
[20:55] <AngelForget> else is a friend tester chan ?
[20:55] <FernandoCueva> well I'm using 10.04 that's maybe why
[20:57] <AngelForget> Lubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 is a bomb can not wait "now that the final version comes out
[20:59] <AngelForget> very very Congratulations to all the staff
[20:59] <FernandoCueva> is it that good
[21:05] <phillw> FernandoCueva: 10.04 has not had anything back ported to it. We simply lack (wo)man-power to have someone work on the back ports. We want to backport, but alas not enough people.
[21:06] <phillw> AngelForget: thanks, yeah, it is looking good :D
[21:06] <AngelForget> hello phillw
[21:07] <FernandoCueva> I was recommened it because it was lts and because it suppose to have good support for old hadware
[21:07] <FernandoCueva> will the lubuntu 12.04 support my pentium 3
[21:08] <AngelForget> phillw, I tested Ubuntu beta 2 in every way and only positive feedback if it were not for some small bugs
[21:09] <phillw> bioterror: you'll now better than me, with us dropping back to non-pae kernel, will Pentium 3 be supported?
[21:10] <phillw> or is it still an i686 only?
[21:11] <FernandoCueva> uname -rsnm gives me i686
[21:11] <bioterror> i686
[21:11] <bioterror> I think
[21:11] <Unit193> FernandoCueva: grep pae /proc/cpuinfo
[21:11] <Unit193> (Doesn't matter too much if they drop the kernel fully in .10)
[21:12] <phillw> Unit193: pae is no longer required, we switched kernel
[21:12] <Unit193> phillw: See line above.
[21:12] <MrChrisDruif> Thanks AngelForget
[21:12] <FernandoCueva> what about that command Unit193
[21:13] <FernandoCueva> there are flags
[21:13] <AngelForget> hello great MrChrisDruif
[21:13] <Unit193> Then you should be set later on at least.
[21:19] <FernandoCueva> Unit193, what was that command for
[21:19] <Unit193> Check if your computer supports the PAE kernel.
[21:32] <phillw> FernandoCueva: as usual, the release team have provided what seems like a good answer, but would need testing
[21:33] <phillw> 12.04 will run on older CPUs provided that it's installed with Lubuntu or Xubuntu, or that the -generic kernel is otherwise installed / kept installed by hand somehow (e.g. on upgrades)
[21:33] <phillw> I don't happen to remember the full CPU list off the top of my head, but Pentium 3 sounds comfortably within range for -generic
