wxldo we have a guide for installing wifi drivers and such? i.e. figuring out what you have and where to get it and blah blah blah04:32
Unit193https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs has a ton, not sure how much is good.04:34
Unit193I think jockey will even pick up some if you have ethernet plugged in.04:34
wxlyeah that's the problem-- no ethernet04:34
wxlso i'm advising someone to just go download it on another computer04:34
wxli should probably offer the link for installing software from offline04:35
TheCheggsi know this is more then likely a stupid question but have you guys heard of lxmed?05:06

bioterrorlooks weird10:28
Skater-AOA150yeah, i know.10:28
bioterroris there a reason why you prefer using "samba4" instead of just samba?10:29
Skater-AOA150samba was acting up...10:30
Skater-AOA150and dang it... Readonly filesystem... :\10:30
bioterrorwell10:30
bioterrorthat samba4 tells you to remove your smb.conf10:30
bioterrorif you noticed10:30
bioterrorProvisioningError: guess_names: 'realm =' was not specified in supplied /etc/samba/smb.conf.  Please remove the smb.conf file and let provision generate it10:31
bioterroryou did not apt-get purge your samba?10:31
Skater-AOA150yeah10:31
Skater-AOA150brb gotta get out of this Read-only file system10:31
Skater_2015crap... looks like i'm gonna have to do a reinstallation.10:33
bioterror:D10:33
Skater_2015Btw it's skater-aoa150.10:33

Skater_2015yeah10:34
Skater_2015I know that drive's pretty flaky.10:34
Skater_2015but the worst part is i gotta tear the whole computer apart just to get to the drive10:36
Skater_2015:\  CRAP...10:39
Skater_2015The partition Lubuntu was installed on was ext4, now it's Unknown... :\10:40
morriYou know , I learnt one thing- My problem with Banshee that occurred yesterday definitely must have soemthing to do with the internet connection of banshee11:04
morriWhile my internet was off (happens sometimes for 5 min) I put banshee on, and disabled the Internet related functions11:04
morriit is working fine like that, so the bug must be somewhere in there11:04
Llywelynhello :) i have a very short question: do you think that I can install lubuntu on my machine ? (PII @ 300mhz, 200Mb ram, 8Mb GC)11:20
morriyes11:20
morrinot sure but I#ll just try it11:20
morrii have a pentium 311:20
morriand runs fine11:20
Llywelynwhat is its frequency ?11:20
morri1000mhz11:20
pAt_I am not quite sure about the RAM, maybe you have to use the minimal iso11:21
Llywelynthank you :)11:22
morrillywelyn other wise this might be something for you colibri os11:22
Llywelynwell I already run Debian and W2K11:23
Llywelynhowever I have driver issues with debian11:23

DrunkDoes Redshift work with Lubuntu and LXDE?15:02
bioterrorwe use GTK15:04
bioterrorhard to say15:04
bioterrortry it out :D15:05
DrunkYeah, it didn't work.15:06
DrunkMight try f.lux, instead, even though that's in itself hasn't been very good in the past.15:06
ryan_moorehey everyone16:36
ryan_moorei'm a complete newbie lubuntu. i just installed it on a donated Acer extensa 4620z. I have a couple questions if anyones available to give me a hand16:36
OldManShoesWhat's up?16:38
ryan_mooreWell in organizing my taskbar it seems I've deleted the "power off" icon from the far right. I know this isn't a huge deal because I can logoff from the menu, but I liked having it there. I looked for it in the Application Launch Bar options but it wasn't there.16:40
OldManShoesIt's an application launch bar applet that you can edit in the panel settings to be just the power button.16:41
bioterrorhands up who wants to make a FAQ about returning that button back to lxpanel16:42
ryan_mooreAck. I can't seem to find it on the available applications list anywhere16:42
OldManShoesYeah I can't either, but it sounds like bioterror knows :P16:42
ryan_mooreThis is what I get for not just leaving well enough alone hah16:43
bioterroras a reward he will get lots of appreciation and our endless respect for doing it16:43
bioterrorand he will be treated like a king among the newcomers16:43
OldManShoesHow about a kind of awesome dude instead of king?16:43
bioterrorthat also, he will be nominated as the "awesome dude", like Big Lebowski16:44
bioterroroeh noe! I removed that button now16:44
OldManShoesSo, where in the applications list is the Shutdown option then Mr. Big Lebowski?16:44
ryan_mooreOh great16:44
OldManShoesI'm curious because usually I can find stuff and I am stumped now16:45
ryan_mooreIs there anyway to just kill my panels and "refresh" it somehow? To bring back the standard one?16:46
bioterroryes16:46
bioterroractually!16:46
bioterrorhahaha16:46
bioterroryou can copy & paste that stuff into there16:46
bioterrordamn, I need my another laptop16:47
bioterrorwait a sec!16:47
ryan_mooreWell, at least I have a good "How I started out using Lubuntu" story now16:49
OldManShoesHehe16:49
bioterrorwife has put it some where16:49
ryan_moore"I removed my power button and nobody on the irc channel had any clue what to do because they were all intelligent enough not to delete theirs"16:49
ryan_moorehaha16:49
bioterrorryan_moore, something like that16:50
bioterrorif you can wait 5 or 10 minutes16:50
bioterrorI will solve this problem to you16:50
OldManShoesIsn't that what using Linux is all about though? Doing something because you can and then trying to fix it?16:50
bioterrorand make a FAQ about it when I put kids into bed16:50
ryan_mooreSure. I'm in no rush. Trying to figure out what I need to do to optimize my system for low latency audio recording right now16:50
bioterrorryan_moore, you want that kernel16:50
ryan_mooreI looked for the rt-kernel in Synaptic and it didn't even come up as an option.16:51
ryan_mooreSo I'm assuming 11.10 just comes with it?16:51
bioterrorare you ready?16:54
bioterroryou need to open a terminal16:55
ryan_mooreI'm ready16:55
bioterrorthen edit file ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel16:55
bioterrorgo to the bottom of the file16:55
bioterrorhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/925136/ and paste that stuff to the bottom16:56
bioterrorthen16:56
bioterroralt+f216:56
bioterrorkillall lxpanel16:56
bioterroruse that open terminal16:56
bioterrorand run command: lxpanel -p Lubuntu &16:56
ryan_moorewhat would be the command to open/edit that first file?16:57
bioterrorleafpad for example16:57
ryan_mooreok16:57
bioterrorI've nagged that "run program" thing in alt+f2 should not be part of the lxpanel16:59
bioterrorbut I speak to the deaf ears16:59
bioterrorwonder why I prefer gmrun instead of "lxpanelctl run"17:00
ryan_mooreTada17:03

genmail1977(it also often pops up that shockwave flash stopped working)19:57
bioterrorare you using flashplugin-installer?19:57
genmail1977before the update everything was fine19:57
Unit193Open a terminal and type    dpkg -l |grep flash    and pastebin or say what's in there, if it's anything other than adobe-flashplugin you should puirge and install that one.19:57
genmail1977I installed that package19:57

bioterrorsudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer19:59
bioterrorand restart your chromium20:00
genmail1977ok, thx :)20:00
Unit193Other fix is to install Chrome.20:00
bioterror:D20:00
bioterrorand sell your soul to the devil himself20:00
Unit193Sorry, google owns it, I'd have to get it back first.20:01
Unit193Or forget about flash, that'll work as well. Flash has been a problem as of late.20:01
genmail1977restarted, it doesn't work20:02
bioterrorI have couple of friends who doesnt use flash at all20:02
genmail1977any other hint?20:03

bioterroryeah, I have to watch my pr0n from the tv, instead of website ;D20:11
genmail1977but still in many other sites it keeps up popping this fastidious missing plugin message20:11
genmail1977thanks God can have it for real at home ;)20:11
pAt_ping iceroot20:14
bioterrorpAt, can someone else assist you on something?20:22
bioterrorgenmail1977, but after all, that flash has been quite a PITA20:23
