| lewbuntu | [11.10] anyone know how to keep the wired connection working after suspend? | 00:55 |
|---|---|---|
| lewbuntu | it's kind of hit and miss, it never works immediately after, sometimes it works if i wait several minutes, and usually (but not always) fixes itself after reboot | 00:57 |
| dihi228 | hey all, I'd like to install FF 10.0.3 ESR, but i don't see older versions in synaptic. any help in how to do this? | 00:58 |
| dihi228 | and by FF i mean Firefox | 00:58 |
| kanliot | you can download firefox from the website | 01:04 |
| kanliot | i've done it it's not that hard | 01:04 |
| dihi228 | i dl'd the tar ball and unpacked it...but what do i do...look for an installer script? | 01:08 |
| kanliot | look for the binary | 01:10 |
| dihi228 | what is that? | 01:11 |
| dihi228 | is it the thing called "firefox" with the gear icon | 01:12 |
| kanliot | hmmm | 01:12 |
| kanliot | just double-click away util you find it | 01:12 |
| kanliot | your results may vary | 01:13 |
| kanliot | oh he left | 01:14 |
| kanliot | i bet his pc exploded | 01:14 |
| lewbuntu | fixed my wired connection loss from suspend. opened /etc/pm/config.d/config and added SUSPEND_MODULES="r8169" | 01:23 |
| man | hi | 01:26 |
| kanliot | hey man | 01:27 |
| kanliot | are you 'the man' ? | 01:27 |
| NQTropic | hey nerd | 01:27 |
| NQTropic | *nerds | 01:27 |
| man | yeah | 01:27 |
| kanliot | i'm a nerd-american thank you | 01:28 |
| kanliot | to use my correct name | 01:28 |
| NQTropic | I'm nerd Aussie, so beat that :P | 01:28 |
| man | i cant start lubuntu in my machine | 01:28 |
| kanliot | ok | 01:29 |
| NQTropic | I can | 01:29 |
| NQTropic | i guess that's not really much help though | 01:30 |
| man | the lubuntu starts my monitor apppears out of frequency | 01:30 |
| kanliot | man | 01:32 |
| kanliot | can you ask in the #ubuntu channel | 01:32 |
| kanliot | i don't have an answer to that question | 01:33 |
| NQTropic | so kanliot do you use a fast modern pc to run lubunut? | 01:36 |
| kanliot | i do | 01:36 |
| mayko | I'm having continuing sound/mic issues with lubuntu. alsamixer looks all wrong; pavucontrol is not helping. My friends think I'm an idiot for using Linux because I can't call them. Halp. | 01:38 |
| kanliot | there's a long troubleshooting guide i can point you to | 01:38 |
| kanliot | but it is kinda long | 01:38 |
| kanliot | do you really need pulseaudio? | 01:39 |
| kanliot | really i'm no expert, i'm having my own audio problems | 01:39 |
| mayko | what would I do, remove pavucontrol and see if the problem goes away? | 01:39 |
| mayko | *remove pulseaudio | 01:39 |
| kanliot | what is the problem | 01:40 |
| mayko | I'll take a look at the guide; i've looked at a few but this might help | 01:40 |
| mayko | Internal mic only works intermittantly. Sometimes sound cuts off too | 01:40 |
| mayko | plugging in a webcam sometimes helps temprorarily | 01:41 |
| kanliot | hm | 01:41 |
| kanliot | intermittent doesn't sound like pulseaudio | 01:42 |
| kanliot | it either works or not | 01:42 |
| kanliot | can you buy a usb headphones? | 01:42 |
| kanliot | they work well with pulseaudio | 01:42 |
| kanliot | again, i'm just guessing here | 01:42 |
| mayko | i mean technically i could but.... i don't think i should have to. I just bought a new computer hoping that it would work better than my old one. | 01:44 |
| kanliot | well there's other ways to get help for your pc | 01:45 |
| kanliot | try the forums, google | 01:46 |
| kanliot | but if your hardware isn't supported well, | 01:46 |
| kanliot | if the drivers aren't good | 01:46 |
| kanliot | then there's not a lot you can do | 01:46 |
| kanliot | i just bought a new motherboard. it wouldn't work at all with lubuntu 11.10 | 01:46 |
| kanliot | no idea why | 01:46 |
| kanliot | really there should be a hardware compatibility page somewhere | 01:47 |
| NQTropic | anyone know a gui web browser the displays websites as text only? | 01:57 |
| lewbuntu | is there any way to add command line arguments to shortcuts in LXDE menu or the desktop (which i assume is maintained by PCManFM)? for example starting firefox in safe mode with "usr/bin/firefox -safe-mode %u". if i add "-safe-mode" it just automatically removes itself. | 02:40 |
| kanliot | YEAH use lxshortcut to create a new shortcut | 02:40 |
| lewbuntu | i'm using LXShortcut but none of the commands actually save. "usr/bin/firefox -safe-mode %u" reverts back to "usr/bin/firefox %u". "usr/bin/chromium-browser --incognito %U" reverts back to "usr/bin/chromium-browser %U" | 02:48 |
| kanliot | yeah lxshortcut | 02:49 |
| kanliot | is... not user friendly | 02:49 |
| kanliot | is it? | 02:49 |
| kanliot | just edit the text file then i guess | 02:49 |
| lewbuntu | i could do that, though i'd rather have a shortcut that's separate for safe mode. otherwise i'd have to edit the textfile again if i don't want safe mode. it defeats the purpose of a shortcut. | 02:52 |
| kanliot | if you find a tutorial for lxshortcut let me know | 02:54 |
| kanliot | i've been beggin 4 1 | 02:54 |
| kanliot | can't you just copy the shortcut? | 02:55 |
| kanliot | and then edit the copy? | 02:55 |
| lewbuntu | i can't even create a shortcut on the desktop using lxshortcut -o ~/Desktop/my_shorcut.desktop | 03:00 |
| lewbuntu | typing that command opens the "Application Shortcut" window/GUI, but nothing appears on the desktop once i try to create the shortcut | 03:00 |
| kanliot | is there a shortcut on the lxde menu? | 03:05 |
| lewbuntu | no | 03:05 |
| kanliot | can you copy and paste a shortcut onto the desktop? | 03:06 |
| hectorlopez | hi there, anyone have experience whit streaming via web whit vlc and lubuntu? | 03:08 |
| lewbuntu | yeah, but i can't actually edit it aside from the shortcut's name and permissions | 03:09 |
| kanliot | yeah vlc works sometimes | 03:09 |
| kanliot | edit it with a text editor | 03:09 |
| kanliot | i stream audio all the time | 03:10 |
| meet | i have got this windows based game which i want to install in lubuntu.any suggestions? | 04:09 |
| Unit193 | !wine | 04:11 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 04:11 |
| meet | i tried once installing this game but the on double clicking the app nothing happened. so is there anything else needed alongwith wine? | 04:12 |
| meet | @ Unit193 | 04:13 |
| Unit193 | You need to mark it as executable. | 04:13 |
| meet | but does not wine do it by itself? | 04:13 |
| meet | infact in ubuntu 10.04 the system crashed or something.. i got the black screen with system check msgs.. like the bsod in windows.. | 04:14 |
| Unit193 | Nope, it doesn't. | 04:15 |
| meet | Unit123: so i plan to install the wine packge from lubuntu software center and then install the game tthrough it. | 04:38 |
| meet | Unit193: will i have to install directx7 or anything else? and what is winetricks? | 04:39 |
| kanliot | what game are you trying to run? | 04:39 |
| meet | burgershop2. its requirements are low but it needs directx7 | 04:40 |
| kanliot | use wine to open the burgershop installer | 04:41 |
| meet | i did that but the game doesnt open | 04:41 |
| kanliot | well make sure you're running it with wine | 04:42 |
| kanliot | and make sure you're running the right program | 04:42 |
| kanliot | otherwise not a lot you can do | 04:42 |
| kanliot | you might try a vm | 04:43 |
| meet | the wine app db gives it a gold rating and says everythng workd well. it also ran in ubuntu 11.10. but its giving me trouble here. | 04:43 |
| kanliot | some vms have hardware acceleration | 04:44 |
| kanliot | hm | 04:44 |
| kanliot | if it works in ubuntu, should work in lubuntu | 04:44 |
| NQTropic | what's happening geeks? | 08:17 |
| NQTropic | I'm back | 08:50 |

| NQTropie | I'll be staying with 11.10 for a while as i have everything just how i like it | 10:46 |
| kuato-AR | Good morning people | 11:21 |
| kuato-AR | at least good morning for me, here in Argentina | 11:21 |
| kuato-AR | :P | 11:21 |
| kuato-AR | I have a little problem with lubuntu 11.10 and 2 sound cards, one onboard and one PCI , lubuntu does not recognize that my onboard sound is off in the bios setup | 11:23 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | try blacklist modules | 11:27 |
| kuato-AR | can you explain me how to do that ? I'm totally noob on this | 11:27 |
| kuato-AR | i need a little guide on what files do i need to edit and what to add or remove, sorry | 11:28 |
| kuato-AR | i was searching on google but every guide talks about deactivating the onboard card using the bios setup, but nothing about blacklisting | 11:29 |
| kuato-AR | the bios setup just have an option to turn off the onboard sound when a pci is plugged in | 11:31 |
| kuato-AR | there is no option to turn it off by demand | 11:31 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | kuato-AR: some like this http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux/104699-how-blacklist-audio-modules.html but be carefull. | 11:31 |
| kuato-AR | I will try that | 11:32 |
| kuato-AR | But how do i know wich one is the correct sound board ? | 11:33 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | kuato-AR: lspci or lsusb then find Audio device. then go to google to find witch modules use soundcard's | 11:35 |
| kuato-AR | It seems that there is a modem audio device too | 11:39 |

| ubottu | XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 15:34 |
| mds` | I see this isn't going to be a quick thing like in Windows. :D | 15:35 |
| mds` | I will check it out, though. I downloaded a driver called AMD Catalyst Control Center. It won't allow me to use its administrative features, though. | 15:36 |
| mds` | I will look into your link now, and report back if I have questions. | 15:36 |
