[00:55] <lewbuntu> [11.10] anyone know how to keep the wired connection working after suspend?
[00:57] <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
[00:58] <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
[01:04] <kanliot> you can download firefox from the website
[01:04] <kanliot> i've done it it's not that hard
[01:08] <dihi228> i dl'd the tar ball and unpacked it...but what do i do...look for an installer script?
[01:10] <kanliot> look for the binary
[01:11] <dihi228> what is that?
[01:12] <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
[01:13] <kanliot> your results may vary
[01:14] <kanliot> oh he left
[01:14] <kanliot> i bet his pc exploded
[01:23] <lewbuntu> fixed my wired connection loss from suspend. opened /etc/pm/config.d/config and added SUSPEND_MODULES="r8169"
[01:26] <man> hi
[01:27] <kanliot> hey man
[01:27] <kanliot> are you 'the man' ?
[01:27] <NQTropic> hey nerd
[01:27] <NQTropic> *nerds
[01:27] <man> yeah
[01:28] <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
[01:29] <kanliot> ok
[01:29] <NQTropic> I can
[01:30] <NQTropic> i guess that's not really much help though
[01:30] <man> the lubuntu starts my monitor apppears out of frequency
[01:32] <kanliot> man
[01:32] <kanliot> can you ask in the #ubuntu channel
[01:33] <kanliot> i don't have an answer to that question
[01:36] <NQTropic> so kanliot do you use a fast modern pc to run lubunut?
[01:36] <kanliot> i do
[01:38] <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
[01:39] <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
[01:40] <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
[01:41] <mayko> plugging in a webcam sometimes helps temprorarily
[01:41] <kanliot> hm
[01:42] <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
[01:44] <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.
[01:45] <kanliot> well there's other ways to get help for your pc
[01:46] <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
[01:47] <kanliot> really there should be a hardware compatibility page somewhere
[01:57] <NQTropic> anyone know a gui web browser the displays websites as text only?
[02:40] <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
[02:48] <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"
[02:49] <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
[02:52] <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.
[02:54] <kanliot> if you find a tutorial for lxshortcut let me know
[02:54] <kanliot> i've been beggin 4 1
[02:55] <kanliot> can't you just copy the shortcut?
[02:55] <kanliot> and then edit the copy?
[03:00] <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
[03:05] <kanliot> is there a shortcut on the lxde menu?
[03:05] <lewbuntu> no
[03:06] <kanliot> can you copy and paste a shortcut onto the desktop?
[03:08] <hectorlopez> hi there, anyone have experience whit streaming via web whit vlc and lubuntu?
[03:09] <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
[03:10] <kanliot> i stream audio all the time
[04:09] <meet> i have got this windows based game which i want to install in lubuntu.any suggestions?
[04:11] <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
[04:12] <meet> i tried once installing this game but the on double clicking the app nothing happened. so is there anything else needed alongwith wine?
[04:13] <meet> @ Unit193
[04:13] <Unit193> You need to mark it as executable.
[04:13] <meet> but does not wine do it by itself?
[04:14] <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..
[04:15] <Unit193> Nope, it doesn't.
[04:38] <meet> Unit123: so i plan to install the wine packge from lubuntu software center and then install the game tthrough it.
[04:39] <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?
[04:40] <meet> burgershop2. its requirements are low but it needs directx7
[04:41] <kanliot> use wine to open the burgershop installer
[04:41] <meet> i did that but the game doesnt open
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <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.
[04:44] <kanliot> some vms have hardware acceleration
[04:44] <kanliot> hm
[04:44] <kanliot> if it works in ubuntu, should work in lubuntu
[08:17] <NQTropic> what's happening geeks?
[08:50] <NQTropic> I'm back
[09:17] <NQTropie> hi AmberJ
[09:19] <grifo74> hi lubuntu 12.04 is lts?
[09:20] <JohnDoe_71Rus> afaik no
[09:29] <AmberJ_> hello NQTropie
[10:37] <NQTropie> what u doin AmberJ
[10:38] <NQTropie> JohnDoe_71Rus, 12.04 is lts
[10:38] <AmberJ_> "lubuntu 12.04" isn't LTS....all other ubuntu distros are LTS
[10:42] <NQTropie> oh ok........ does it matter?
[10:43] <NQTropie> you can install ubuntu command line and apt-get lubuntu
[10:46] <NQTropie> I'll be staying with 11.10 for a while as i have everything just how i like it
[11:21] <kuato-AR> Good morning people
[11:21] <kuato-AR> at least good morning for me, here in Argentina
[11:21] <kuato-AR> :P
[11:23] <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
[11:27] <JohnDoe_71Rus> try blacklist modules
[11:27] <kuato-AR> can you explain me how to do that ? I'm totally noob on this
[11:28] <kuato-AR> i need a little guide on what files do i need to edit and what to add or remove, sorry
[11:29] <kuato-AR> i was searching on google but every guide talks about deactivating the onboard card using the bios setup, but nothing about blacklisting
[11:31] <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.
[11:32] <kuato-AR> I will try that
[11:33] <kuato-AR> But how do i know wich one is the correct sound board ?
[11:35] <JohnDoe_71Rus> kuato-AR:  lspci or lsusb then find Audio device. then go to google to find witch modules use soundcard's
[11:39] <kuato-AR> It seems that there is a modem audio device too
[15:33] <mds`> Hello. I'm having a bit of trouble in trying to set up my two monitors so that they are independent. As of now, they are cloning each other's display.
[15:33] <bioterror> ?? xrandr
[15:34] <bioterror> !xrandr
[15:34] <ubottu> XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.  Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12
[15:35] <mds`> I see this isn't going to be a quick thing like in Windows. :D
[15:36] <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.
