=== CTtechguy_ is now known as CTtechguy [04:32] do 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 blah [04:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs has a ton, not sure how much is good. [04:34] I think jockey will even pick up some if you have ethernet plugged in. [04:34] yeah that's the problem-- no ethernet [04:34] so i'm advising someone to just go download it on another computer [04:35] i should probably offer the link for installing software from offline [05:06] i know this is more then likely a stupid question but have you guys heard of lxmed? [10:14] hello all [10:14] I need assistance to install HP Lip [10:14] it tells me There are 7 missing REQUIRED dependencies [10:15] is there any one ? [10:16] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne [10:17] thanks [10:17] does this support any model HP ? [10:17] I have a HP Deskjet 930C [10:17] and then I came out at hplip-3.12.2 [10:20] http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet/deskjet_930c.html [10:21] I have tried your link at first it gaves me this [10:21] Qt/PyQt 4 initialization failed [10:24] I found the solution [10:25] I needed to remove the driver again and reinstall through the existing printer setup that comes by default [10:25] thanks and bye [10:25] I'm having some trouble getting Samba to work :\ [10:26] Skater-AOA150, what's your problem? [10:26] When installing it, it's giving me an error [10:26] and the error is? [10:26] i'll copy it [10:27] http://pastebin.com/DjD8pfWw [10:28] looks weird [10:28] yeah, i know. [10:29] is there a reason why you prefer using "samba4" instead of just samba? [10:30] samba was acting up... [10:30] and dang it... Readonly filesystem... :\ [10:30] well [10:30] that samba4 tells you to remove your smb.conf [10:30] if you noticed [10:31] ProvisioningError: guess_names: 'realm =' was not specified in supplied /etc/samba/smb.conf. Please remove the smb.conf file and let provision generate it [10:31] you did not apt-get purge your samba? [10:31] yeah [10:31] brb gotta get out of this Read-only file system [10:33] crap... looks like i'm gonna have to do a reinstallation. [10:33] :D [10:33] Btw it's skater-aoa150. [10:34] I suggest [10:34] you boot into live media [10:34] and you run fsck for your hard drive [10:34] or what ever it is [10:34] might get fixed [10:34] yeah [10:34] I know that drive's pretty flaky. [10:36] but the worst part is i gotta tear the whole computer apart just to get to the drive [10:39] :\ CRAP... [10:40] The partition Lubuntu was installed on was ext4, now it's Unknown... :\ [11:04] You know , I learnt one thing- My problem with Banshee that occurred yesterday definitely must have soemthing to do with the internet connection of banshee [11:04] While my internet was off (happens sometimes for 5 min) I put banshee on, and disabled the Internet related functions [11:04] it is working fine like that, so the bug must be somewhere in there [11:20] hello :) 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] yes [11:20] not sure but I#ll just try it [11:20] i have a pentium 3 [11:20] and runs fine [11:20] what is its frequency ? [11:20] 1000mhz [11:21] I am not quite sure about the RAM, maybe you have to use the minimal iso [11:22] thank you :) [11:22] llywelyn other wise this might be something for you colibri os [11:23] well I already run Debian and W2K [11:23] however I have driver issues with debian [11:23] (w/ my GC, SiS 6326) [11:25] will try lubuntu right now, thank you guys :) === sva_ is now known as sva [14:39] ciao a tutti [14:39] englis please ;) [14:39] otherwise: [14:39] !it [14:39] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [14:40] thanks a lot [15:02] Does Redshift work with Lubuntu and LXDE? [15:04] we use GTK [15:04] hard to say [15:05] try it out :D [15:06] Yeah, it didn't work. [15:06] Might try f.lux, instead, even though that's in itself hasn't been very good in the past. [16:36] hey everyone [16:36] i'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 hand [16:38] What's up? [16:40] Well 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. [16:41] It's an application launch bar applet that you can edit in the panel settings to be just the power button. [16:42] hands up who wants to make a FAQ about returning that button back to lxpanel [16:42] Ack. I can't seem to find it on the available applications list anywhere [16:42] Yeah I can't either, but it sounds like bioterror knows :P [16:43] This is what I get for not just leaving well enough alone hah [16:43] as a reward he will get lots of appreciation and our endless respect for doing it [16:43] and he will be treated like a king among the newcomers [16:43] How about a kind of awesome dude instead of king? [16:44] that also, he will be nominated as the "awesome dude", like Big Lebowski [16:44] oeh noe! I removed that button now [16:44] So, where in the applications list is the Shutdown option then Mr. Big Lebowski? [16:44] Oh great [16:45] I'm curious because usually I can find stuff and I am stumped now [16:46] Is there anyway to just kill my panels and "refresh" it somehow? To bring back the standard one? [16:46] yes [16:46] actually! [16:46] hahaha [16:46] you can copy & paste that stuff into there [16:47] damn, I need my another laptop [16:47] wait a sec! [16:49] Well, at least I have a good "How I started out using Lubuntu" story now [16:49] Hehe [16:49] wife has put it some where [16:49] "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] haha [16:50] ryan_moore, something like that [16:50] if you can wait 5 or 10 minutes [16:50] I will solve this problem to you [16:50] Isn't that what using Linux is all about though? Doing something because you can and then trying to fix it? [16:50] and make a FAQ about it when I put kids into bed [16:50] Sure. I'm in no rush. Trying to figure out what I need to do to optimize my system for low latency audio recording right now [16:50] ryan_moore, you want that kernel [16:51] I looked for the rt-kernel in Synaptic and it didn't even come up as an option. [16:51] So I'm assuming 11.10 just comes with it? [16:54] are you ready? [16:55] you need to open a terminal [16:55] I'm ready [16:55] then edit file ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel [16:55] go to the bottom of the file [16:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/925136/ and paste that stuff to the bottom [16:56] then [16:56] alt+f2 [16:56] killall lxpanel [16:56] use that open terminal [16:56] and run command: lxpanel -p Lubuntu & [16:57] what would be the command to open/edit that first file? [16:57] leafpad for example [16:57] ok [16:59] I've nagged that "run program" thing in alt+f2 should not be part of the lxpanel [16:59] but I speak to the deaf ears [17:00] wonder why I prefer gmrun instead of "lxpanelctl run" [17:03] Tada [17:04] Awesome. Thanks so much! [17:04] np [17:04] and you saved your configurations [17:04] as I'm running 12.04 with 11.10 theme ;) [17:05] I need to take a look at some screenshots of other peoples desktops. Trying to optimize my workflow and I know what I want but not where I want it. [17:05] me too [17:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#Revert_power.2BAC8-logout_button_back_to_LXpanel [17:10] there you go [17:10] next time someone has this issue, you can point him to that ;) [17:13] Thanks bioterror [17:36] what are some good lightweight browsers to use [17:36] midori [17:37] Midori, arora, xxxterm. [17:37] the ones with "features" [17:37] ofcourse you can view pages with telnet too [17:37] uzbl if you use vim. :P [17:37] w3m? [17:39] xxxterm if you use wim [17:40] w3m doesn't work [17:40] w3m was outed by links / elinks [17:40] ousted [17:40] lynx still hangs there! [17:41] lynx isn't available [17:42] Sure it works, but good to know about it being outdated. [17:46] any of them use less memory [17:50] unit193: out of the ones you have mention which one is very very lightweight [17:52] I'd think elinks/links since it is terminal based. [17:55] the browser runs in the terminal [17:55] which is awesome! [17:56] whats the browser name? is it elinks or links [17:56] http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/links [17:57] http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/elinks [17:57] oh thanks [17:57] http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/links2 [17:57] links2 can do GTK! [17:58] got to jet [18:15] what does this mean when using the terminal install applications [18:15] "dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: [18:15] fork failed: Cannot allocate memory [18:15] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [18:15] " [18:16] sounds weird [18:16] why fork cant allocate memory [18:16] what i don't know [18:16] can you pastebin us command: free -m [18:17] sure [18:18] only 101 :( [18:18] Maximoto: :( [18:19] used 99 :( [18:19] 2 free :D :( [18:20] Maximoto, you have only 2MB of Free RAM? [18:20] yes sad isn't it :d [18:20] that could be the problem [18:20] do you have a swap partition? [18:20] no [18:21] :D [18:21] I rest my case [18:21] well need to free up more memory [18:24] Maximoto: or launch Slitaz ;) booted with 34 MB RAM here :D [18:26] launch slitaz... what's that [18:26] Maximoto, http://www.slitaz.org/en/#d20120410 [18:27] cant you explain [18:32] bye! :) [19:18] I have exactly this problem I have: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3468295&group_id=180858&atid=894869 [19:19] It was already reported on 1st January. Has anyone an idea when it will be solved? === szczur_ is now known as sczzur === sczzur is now known as szczur [19:56] hi all, I've just updated (aftersomeweeks) my lubuntu packages and now when I use chrome I'm unable to see videos on youtube (missing plug-in). I tried to reinstall adobe flash player, but no success...any help? :'( [19:57] (it also often pops up that shockwave flash stopped working) [19:57] are you using flashplugin-installer? [19:57] before the update everything was fine [19:57] Open 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] I installed that package [19:58] Unit193, also partner repository? [19:58] bioterror: I shouldn't assume they have it should I? :/ [19:58] :D [19:59] andrea@andrea-Amilo-A-Series:~$ dpkg -l |grep flash [19:59] ii adobe-flash-properties-gtk 11.2.202.228-0oneiric1 GTK+ control panel for Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11 [19:59] ii adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.228-0oneiric1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11 [19:59] rc flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.228ubuntu0.11.10.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer [19:59] nice [19:59] wonder why it's messed up [19:59] Have to purge -installer. [19:59] sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer [20:00] and restart your chromium [20:00] ok, thx :) [20:00] Other fix is to install Chrome. [20:00] :D [20:00] and sell your soul to the devil himself [20:01] Sorry, google owns it, I'd have to get it back first. [20:01] Or forget about flash, that'll work as well. Flash has been a problem as of late. [20:02] restarted, it doesn't work [20:02] I have couple of friends who doesnt use flash at all [20:03] any other hint? [20:03] well as you stated [20:03] on youtube [20:03] use the youtube.com/html5 ;) [20:04] worth trying :) [20:05] no way :'( [20:05] html5 youtube works flawwlessly [20:06] it still writes missing plug-in [20:10] I joined the html5 beta [20:10] I think now it's worth installing firefox... [20:10] removed my adobe-flashplugin* [20:10] restarted browser [20:10] like quit it [20:10] and run it again [20:10] and youtube works without a problem [20:11] I see this solves the problem with youtube [20:11] yeah, I have to watch my pr0n from the tv, instead of website ;D [20:11] but still in many other sites it keeps up popping this fastidious missing plugin message [20:11] thanks God can have it for real at home ;) [20:14] ping iceroot [20:22] pAt, can someone else assist you on something? [20:23] genmail1977, but after all, that flash has been quite a PITA [20:23] for the last two weeks or so [20:23] yeah maybe bioterror, but Michael was involved in that issue, I am talking about this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/906825 [20:23] Launchpad bug 906825 in lxpanel (Ubuntu) "[11.10 - 12.04] lxpanel crashing randomly.

When I hit a magnetic torrentlink I just get another tab on chromium opened. [20:29] Anybody who has experience with this? [20:29] xdg is failing [20:30] I am not sure what xdg is?

Instead, it relies on Xdg-open to open files and other mime types, for example, magnet links."
