corvus_I upgraded to Lubuntu 12.04, and "Additional Drivers" doesn't let me install the Nvidia drivers. Any idea why?02:51
corvus_It's not even an option.02:51
holsteincorvus_: do you need the driver?02:52
corvus_I was using the proprietary driver in 11.10. Worked great.02:52
corvus_Would prefer to use it, yes.02:52
corvus_When trying to install it in Synaptic, it gets flagged with a red "!" and won't let me install.02:53
corvus_Packages break whenever I try.02:53
holsteincorvus_: what packages.. how?02:53
holsteinmaybe its not supported in 12.04 yeat?02:53
holsteinyet*02:53
corvus_nvidia-9602:54
holsteini say, if its working, just use it02:54
holsteinyou dont get 3d02:54
holsteinyou wanting you play games?02:54
corvus_Oh, I know. Proprietary just seemed to be a little smoother than nouveau.02:54
corvus_Nah, no games really. Nothing newer, anyway.02:54
holsteini would make sure you are up to date with updates02:55
holsteini would pull any error messages and post them here, and in the forums or a bug report02:55
holsteinyou can also just give it a few days and see if something trickles in02:55
corvus_Will do. Thanks.02:56
corvus_Are you using 12.04?02:56
holsteinnot at the moment02:56
corvus_Ah, ok.02:56
holsteini tried it live on my nvidia hardware02:56
holsteini do not plan to use the proprietary driver02:57
corvus_Is Nouveau still actively developed?02:57

woutboundI swiched from ubuntu 11.10 to lubuntu 11.10.  My desktop settings don't seem to be persistant (i.e., desktop background, clock settings)03:46
woutboundI'm also a noob03:46
woutboundthe files and shortcuts on my desktop stayed the same from ubuntu to lubutu, oddly.03:47
woutboundany pointing in the right direction would be greatly appriciated03:47
holsteinwoutbound: its a different environment... you'll need to change the wallpaper, and then it will be the same next time you use LXDE03:48
woutboundI've found that not to be the case, that's exactly my problem03:48
holsteinwoutbound: what session are you choosing at login?03:49
woutboundI can change it, but once I logout, it chages back03:49
holsteindid you install LXDE or lubuntu-desktop ?03:49
woutboundLXDE03:49
holsteinthough the settings should work, you might try installing lubuntu-desktop03:49
woutboundah, sorry03:50
woutboundI actually have both03:50
woutboundproblem is the same on both03:50
holsteinwoutbound: not sure what the issue is.. you can try making another user and see if the issue persists03:51
holsteinTBH, i dont know if ive ever changed the wallpaper in lubuntu ;)03:51
woutboundhow about the clock, from 24h to 12h?03:51
holsteini dont have it in front of me, but i'll look into it.. did you file a bug?03:51
woutboundI didn't because I'm not shure the problem isn't between keyboard and chair03:52
holsteinhttp://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/469482-how-get-lxdes-panel-display-12-hour-clock.html03:52
woutboundright.  So, I've done  that, and it changes to 12 hour, but when I log out, it's 24 again03:54
woutboundthat's my problem03:54
woutboundsettings don't persist between sessions03:54
woutboundis it maybe a permissions thing?  is there a way to change the clock setting as root>03:55
woutboundI'll try it as a new user, brb.04:01
woutboundsettings are persistant for my new user04:07
woutboundwhat does that imply?04:07
seekwillwoohoo. 12.04! :D04:14
woutboundoooh!04:19
woutboundclear04:19
holsteinwoutbound: not sure, but its config... something in your user account.. permissions is an idea04:25
Unit193You could chown it all to your user, and/or delete .config/04:27
woutboundhmm04:31

jozefkhello, is there any difference between Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit with LXDE and Lubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit?10:18
Unit193Default config and selection of programs.10:19
jozefkis it a big difference?10:19
head_victimjozefk: it's mainly an issue if you're on limited hardware, if you install Ubuntu and then Lubuntu you still have a lot of processes running. If you don't mind that it's fine10:23
jozefkthen it's better to just go for lubuntu10:24
nothingspecialIf you want lubuntu then yes, and you can install whichever programs you like sane as ubuntu10:25
jozefkis it also LTS? the 12.04 64bit Lubuntu?10:26
head_victimjozefk: there is no LTS support for Lubuntu currently. There is a lack of developer resources to commit to a 5 year support cycle.10:27
head_victimIf you know anyone wanting to volunteer though...10:27
micahgthere was the option of a 3 yr LTS as well :)10:54
MrChrisDruifI don't know the rest of this conversation, but I think it's about why Lubuntu isn't a LTS?10:55

phillwvaldur55: lubuntu 12.04 is not an LTS12:49
valdur55phillw, damn... it is based on LTS ubuntu version.12:51
phillwvaldur55: indeed, so all the kernel updates will be guaranteed as an LTS. Just the lx stuff has 18 month support.12:52
phillwwe will have had 3 new releases by the time we retire 12.04 (we'll be on 13.10). As lubuntu is changing so rapidly, it is simply too much to ask our small team to look after 12.04 for 5 years.12:53
gordonjcpis lubuntu the sort of thing you'd actually use as an LTS, anyway?13:08
gordonjcptbh I'd really only use Ubuntu LTS on a server, which is likely to be X-less in any case13:09
phillwindeed, the idea for LTS is for the servers, people always want the latest desktop :)13:10
gordonjcpI could see using an LTS as a desktop OS for something like an office13:10
gordonjcpbut that's likely to be a highly custom spin13:10
dihi28hi all, dumb question.  I'm running 12.04 beta 2...how do i update to the release?13:45

phillwyou have the final release :)13:46
dihi28now way...how do i check that?  the last update i ran since the release was like only 1 file and a few hundo K13:47
phillwthat would be expected, once we approached the RC the changes were few & small.13:47
phillwFor example, the RC dated 23rd April was the Final Release.13:48
dihi28sweet, but can i pull up the version number just to check, you know for the hell of it13:48
