| hydro | omg you guys! if anybody is still in here who helped me before, lubuntu now works for me! | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| hydro | the problem turned out to be the beta install disc i had | 00:04 |
| Fleck | :) | 00:04 |
| hydro | actually i'm not sure the initial setup is a bit goofy | 00:05 |
| KM0201 | weren't you having a wireless problem or something? | 00:08 |
| hydro | yes i was | 00:09 |
| KM0201 | ... somehow i doubt that was a problem w/ the beta disk, but i'm glad you got it resolved | 00:10 |
| KM0201 | whats your wireless device on that machine? | 00:10 |
| hydro | let me explain.. when i actually went to install from that disc i got errors and my computer would crash | 00:10 |
| KM0201 | well thats not really indicative of a wireless problem | 00:10 |
| hydro | so i burned a new disc and this one can see wireless networks in the beggining | 00:10 |
| hydro | but i won't know for sure until its done installing, | 00:11 |
| hydro | okay now how can i get to that grub menu where i can select to start lubuntu? | 00:24 |
| hydro | when it dual? | 00:24 |
| hydro | in the past it has just been automatic | 00:27 |
| KM0201 | hydro: it should come up automatically | 00:28 |
| KM0201 | only time grub is "hidden" by default, is when Lubuntu(or ubuntu) is the only OS on the machine | 00:28 |
| hydro | well thats weird did it not properly install? | 00:31 |
| KM0201 | is it the only OS on the machine? | 00:33 |
| hydro | kM0201 no its not | 00:37 |
| hydro | but i think i'm gonna reinstall it as the only one, since the wireless works perfect in the test version | 00:38 |
| KM0201 | hydro: well... i'd hold off.. are you sure Windows is still on that machine, and you didn't accidentally overwrite it?... because if it detected Windows, grub should show by default. | 00:38 |
| KM0201 | hydro: it's always good to keep windows around "just in case"... you never know if you may have to have windows someday | 00:40 |
| KM0201 | i have a win 7 partition (granted, I haven't booted it in about 2mo.) | 00:40 |
| hydro | it automatically boots into windows without any grub | 00:45 |
| hydro | i have a back up disc for my computer if for some reason it ever comes to that | 00:46 |
| KM0201 | so.. you're not getting into your Lubuntu install, right hydro ? | 00:46 |
| hydro | right | 00:47 |
| KM0201 | im guessing grub did not get installed properly | 00:47 |
| hydro | it acted totally wacky during install | 00:47 |
| hydro | so how would i fix it? try installing it again? | 00:47 |
| KM0201 | what do you mean "totally whacky" | 00:47 |
| KM0201 | and if it's "totally whacky" why on earth would you wanna nuke windows and go just w/ Lubuntu | 00:48 |
| hydro | lol, well the "try lubuntu" option works well and i've used lubuntu most of my life until i got this new computer a few months ago | 00:49 |
| KM0201 | hydro: dunno, something went weird | 00:50 |
| hydro | and by totally whacky, i mean like it asks which wireless network i want to connect to after it already gave a check box on whether i wanted to install updates during installation, if i drag a window it leaves a trail behind it | 00:50 |
| hydro | but i just figured some graphics driver wasn't right or something | 00:50 |
| === chrisdruif is now known as MrChrisDruif | ||
| KM0201 | hmm | 00:52 |
| KM0201 | that is odd | 00:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | What is? | 00:52 |
| KM0201 | hydro: explain your prob to MrChrisDruif | 00:52 |
| hydro | im gonna try reinstalling it | 00:52 |
| hydro | oh i installed lubuntu side by side with windows but when i rebooted it just boots straight into windows | 00:53 |
| hydro | no grub or anything | 00:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | You installed Lubuntu after Windows? | 00:55 |
| hydro | yes | 00:55 |
| Duke | for a reason, i like lubuntu more than ubuntu :) from the first second :) | 02:27 |

| === james is now known as Guest71841 | ||
| Guest71841 | installer crashes after i select location | 03:56 |
| Guest71841 | which filesystem do i select so it doesnt crash? | 03:57 |
| Guest71841 | i had 4 partitions in window xp | 03:58 |
| Guest71841 | i formatted xp partition and selected ext 4 | 03:58 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Guest13335, any one primary partition | 03:59 |
| Guest71841 | after that installer crashes | 03:59 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | is there any error popping up or is it simpling hanging up? | 04:00 |
| Guest71841 | ok right now i am on partition screen | 04:00 |
| Guest71841 | here i have 5 disks.. | 04:00 |
| Guest71841 | 3 of them are ntfs and have my data | 04:00 |
| Guest71841 | 4th is 1gb swap | 04:00 |
| Guest71841 | and 5th is ext4 | 04:01 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | which partition did you try to install Ubuntu /dev/sda ? what number? | 04:01 |
| Guest71841 | sda 8 | 04:01 |
| Guest71841 | i have sda 1 5 6 and 7 | 04:02 |
| Guest71841 | 5 6 7 have my data | 04:02 |
| Guest71841 | sda 8 is free i had windows on it | 04:02 |
| Guest71841 | sda 1 is swap | 04:02 |
| Guest71841 | what mount point do i select for sda 8 | 04:03 |
| Guest71841 | um did i said something stupid? | 04:03 |
| KM0201 | dang | 04:04 |
| Guest71841 | ? | 04:04 |
| Guest71841 | what do i select for boot loader installation? | 04:05 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Guest13335, I believe sda1 should be install partition and sda8 should be the swap space | 04:05 |
| Guest71841 | but sda 1 is only 1 gb man | 04:05 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | I am not sure whether sda8 is a primary partition | 04:05 |
| Guest71841 | k wait.. | 04:06 |
| Guest71841 | now i deleted both.. | 04:06 |
| Guest71841 | now i have sda 5 6 7 which have my personal data.. | 04:06 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | right click unallocated space and create a primary partition | 04:06 |
| Guest71841 | and rest is free space | 04:07 |
| Guest71841 | k i select primary..what do i select in mount point | 04:08 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | give / | 04:08 |
| Guest71841 | k now i have sda 1 ext4 19.9 gb | 04:09 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | That's cool | 04:09 |
| Guest71841 | what about swapspace | 04:09 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | now try creating the swap and proceed | 04:09 |
| Guest71841 | i want to create swap by cutting some part of sda 1 | 04:09 |
| Guest71841 | oo k i get it now | 04:10 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | awww. delete the partition again, select a partition of size 189999 or something instead of 200000 or something as the primary partition, set the mount point as / | 04:11 |
| Guest71841 | swap area should be primary or logical? | 04:11 |
| Guest71841 | lol i bet some people here are like :facepalm: | 04:12 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | first create the main partition with mount pooint / | 04:12 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | once it is done, create the other one as logical | 04:12 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Guest13335, We have no problem with the beginners :] | 04:12 |
| Guest71841 | k its done.. 18 gb is sda 1.. 1.9 gb is sda 8 swap and rest are sda 5 6 7 | 04:14 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | cool. now click next | 04:14 |
| Guest71841 | do i need to make changes in drop down menu? | 04:14 |

| mi3 | IAmNotThatGuy, can I install lxde directly in an ubuntu system? I dont want to download the iso again | 04:44 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | mi3, yes you can. I have done that :] | 04:44 |
| mi3 | can you suggest how? | 04:45 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | or you can also remove all other DE and have lxde | 04:45 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | !purelxde | mi3 | 04:45 |
| ubottu | mi3: If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » | 04:45 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | !lxde | 04:45 |
| mi3 | IAmNotThatGuy, I am currently using mate DE, is it still applicable ?? | 04:47 |
| mi3 | IAmNotThatGuy, I want to keep mate, remove unity, and install lxde | 04:47 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Let unity also be there and just install lxde :) | 04:50 |
| yell0w | mi3: i think the commands on that page might remove some dependencies of mate | 04:50 |
| yell0w | in which case just reinstall :P | 04:50 |
| mi3 | I want to keep mate and install lxde, any suggestions yell0w ?? | 04:50 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | mi3, do not run them. Just install lxde | 04:50 |
| mi3 | err ok | 04:50 |
| yell0w | is pcmanfm-mod the new pcmanfm ? | 04:54 |
| Unit193 | No, someones modified version. | 04:57 |

| rebecca | anyone know of a method config these gui fonts? | 05:55 |

| KM0201 | i never really had a font problem | 05:57 |
| rebecca | not just inkscape. xchat also. many apps. the Open Box Config manager doesn't seem to apply to a whole bunch of apps | 05:58 |
| Celltech | Sound mixer? What's a good one that can do all sound properties? | 06:18 |

| Celltech | I like pulse actually thank you | 06:19 |

| user123420d3 | I seem to have a problem with Abiword in Lunbuntu 12.04. | 06:59 |
| KM0201 | and that is? | 06:59 |
| user123420d3 | The document is surrounded by a black border and it's slow and flicking. | 06:59 |
| user123420d3 | screenshot: http://imagebin.org/210444 | 06:59 |
| user123420d3 | I've never seen the black border before in any other versions of abiword. | 07:00 |
| user123420d3 | Abiword is usually lighting fast, but this version is horribly slow and laggy. | 07:02 |
| user123420d3 | version 2.9.2 | 07:02 |
| dove_g | i will try :) | 07:02 |
| KM0201 | user123420d3: i had a similar issue with abiword.. i fixed it by nuking abiword and installing libreoffice (which is pretty fast) | 07:03 |
| user123420d3 | KM0201..yeah i'm thinking about doing that. | 07:03 |
| dove_g | abiword crashed :) | 07:03 |
| KM0201 | lol | 07:03 |
| dove_g | create two pages, can't click on open | 07:03 |
| dove_g | then creashed | 07:03 |
| dove_g | this is my first time i use lubuntu | 07:05 |
| KM0201 | i think the current version has some "issues" | 07:05 |
| dove_g | anyway, in two days I have seen more crash reports in Lubuntu than in Linux (Ubuntu) using in 2 years | 07:05 |
| bioterror | wonder why I always install libreoffice... | 07:05 |
| dove_g | i believe that is problem of new 12.04, i think it will be fixed in 2-3 months | 07:06 |
| bioterror | well | 07:06 |
| bioterror | if you can make things to crash | 07:06 |
| bioterror | then you have to report bugs of them | 07:06 |
| bioterror | if you can duplicate it | 07:06 |
| bioterror | !backtrace | 07:06 |
| ubottu | To get a backtrace of a failing application please read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace | 07:06 |
| dove_g | bioterro, i'm kinda lazy to report bug | 07:08 |
| dove_g | the reason is that i have report maybe 3-4 times bugs and never problem was solved in 6-12 months | 07:08 |
| bioterror | then things wont get any better | 07:08 |
| dove_g | only one problem was solved is bug reported to libre office | 07:08 |
| bioterror | your bugs are too trivial :D | 07:08 |
| KM0201 | lol | 07:08 |
| dove_g | yep, always blame the user ;) | 07:09 |
| dove_g | btw, becauise i'm new on lubuntu, I will report bugs again ;) | 07:13 |
| user123420d3 | libreoffice-writer seems to be working fine. | 07:16 |
| bioterror | dove_g, good! | 07:17 |
| bioterror | one for all, and all for one | 07:17 |
| bioterror | that's how this community works | 07:17 |
| dove_g | yep, i'm understand | 07:23 |
| dove_g | now i found new bug in pcmanfm | 07:36 |
| dove_g | where to report it? | 07:36 |
| bioterror | !launchpad | 07:37 |
| ubottu | Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ | 07:37 |

| spriizha` | and I installed lubuntu 12.04 and there is hybernate option | 12:37 |
| spriizha` | just wanted to test it out :D | 12:37 |
| phillw | I mean, how did you re-enable hibernation? | 12:37 |
| spriizha` | it just was there - under power options | 12:37 |
| phillw | spriizha`: hmmm, it should not have been :/ | 12:38 |
| spriizha` | I would make a screenshot if I could boot in :D | 12:38 |
| spriizha` | but this error - I got it all the time when I tried to install lubuntu or xubuntu with windows desktop installer. All the time copying was fine, setup was fine but after reboot I had this kind error, so I dl normal cd and installed, but now again same thing ;/ | 12:39 |
| KM0201 | spriizha`: what is the error? | 12:40 |
| KM0201 | do you even know "generally" what it says. | 12:40 |
| spriizha` | it's kinda not error, it just stops here when booting in - [8.980960] pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1: cs: IO port probe 0x3000-0x7ffff: excluding 0x3000-ox30ff 0x3400-0x34ff 0x380-0x38ff 0x3c00-0x3cff | 12:40 |
| KM0201 | thats pretty cryptic | 12:41 |
| spriizha` | o.O | 12:41 |
| spriizha` | what should I do to understand the problem? | 12:43 |
| phillw | spriizha`: let me see if anyone is about on -release or -devel, it may make some sense to them... I mat be a while, please bear with me. | 12:45 |
| phillw | s/mat/may | 12:45 |
| spriizha` | of curse, thx | 12:46 |
| phillw | spriizha`: while we wait, can you just run the self-test on the installation CD to ensure it has not a file corruption in it, please. | 12:48 |
| spriizha` | ]I have to boot in it to do that, right? | 12:48 |
| phillw | yeah, it's an option on booting from the liveCD | 12:49 |
| phillw | I know that will be the 1st thing they ask that I check out :) | 12:49 |
| spriizha` | sure, il be back when done | 12:49 |
| phillw | kk | 12:50 |
| Hokar123 | is the a command that deletes all old kernel and header files? | 12:52 |
| Hokar123 | there | 12:52 |
| phillw | Hokar123: I'm sure there is on the FAQ area, but I cannot access FAQ from India atm :/ | 12:56 |
| phillw | Certainly removing old kernels is on our wiki area | 12:56 |
| theluckymike | this is wierd | 13:00 |
| phillw | Hokar123: one area I can access is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587462 | 13:01 |
| Hokar123 | http://tinyurl.com/hokar312 solved it for me :) | 13:01 |
| theluckymike | phillw, disc was ok, after rebooting I forgot to choose windows and now im back to lubuntu, but I had an error - missing bytes - broken pipes or smth | 13:01 |
| phillw | have a read there, drs305 is a fine fellow & his instructions are 100% trustworthy. | 13:01 |
| Gontxalu1 | Hello, has a very happy worker day to everyone. I'm having a problem with lxde, a can not change my keyboard from qwerty in spanish to dvorak in spnish. Can someone help me? the app doesnt work... | 13:03 |
| phillw | most odd. The only other thing that springs to mind is to beg / steal / borrow a cd lens cleaner CD to make sure the little led-laser has no muck built up on it. | 13:03 |
| phillw | I got mine from one of those 'pound shops' in the UK - I guess they are similarly priced as 1 GBP around the world. | 13:05 |
| Hokar123 | lubuntu cd or windows? | 13:07 |
| razvan986 | hy there | 13:08 |
| theluckymike | phillw, is there any boot log, so I can see why it stopped booting first 3 times? | 13:12 |
| phillw | have a look in /var/log | 13:12 |
| ChesterX | where can I manage the keyboards shortcuts in LUbuntu? (minimize windows, switch desktops, etc...) | 13:13 |
| phillw | I'm not on a *buntu install, so cannot recall if the there is a boot log | 13:13 |
| phillw | ChesterX: it's covered in key bindings on the FAQ | 13:13 |
| Unit193 | ChesterX: ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xmp | 13:13 |

| ChesterX | thanks :-) | 13:14 |
| viejotren | hi, I'm trying to do a fresh install lubuntu 11.10, I used unetbootin to put it on my usb, after load the kernel and the init file I got an error: target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init. No init found. try passing init=bootarg | 13:34 |
| viejotren | so, my first question: what params should I pass? | 13:34 |
| viejotren | second: this error could be related to some usb read error? i've already test the iso from a virtual machine and it works | 13:34 |
| viejotren | so suggestions are welcome | 13:35 |
| phillw | viejotren: use the self-test option when you boot from usb, it will let you know if it is un-happy. | 13:36 |

| tisqueldotim | Hi there .. We need a doctumentor , right ??? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55128914/Lubuntu%20docs/Getting%20Started%20with%20Lubuntu%2010.04%20-%20Second%20Edition.pdf | 15:13 |
| tisqueldotim | Well, here I am ::: and where do I start ?? | 15:13 |
| Scott__ | Usually I start with hello and asking a question. | 15:14 |
| yell0w | lol | 15:14 |
| Scott__ | Ooops. I now see your question probably refers to the doc... reference | 15:15 |
| phillw | tisqueldotim: that link is for 10.04, I'm not sure what happened after the 2nd edition of it. All seemed to go quiet. | 15:17 |
| phillw | tisqueldotim: lubuntu does have a wiki / docs team who can be found via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/GettingInvolved | 15:19 |
| toscho | hi | 16:02 |
| bioterror | evening | 16:03 |
| toscho | i upgraded to 12.04, but my funny mouse pointer changed to the boring standard one. using openbox configuration manager, i can only set it for some windows. not even main screen | 16:03 |
| CTtechguy | anyone have any issues with the Task Bar when upgrading to 12.04? | 16:04 |
| bioterror | toscho, lxappearance | 16:06 |
| toscho | doesn't help either | 16:13 |
| bioterror | toscho, why not? | 16:13 |
| toscho | even lxappearance itself doesn't show the funny mouse pointer | 16:13 |
| bioterror | lxappearance has settings for the mouse | 16:13 |
| bioterror | is your funny mouse pointer in a correct place then? | 16:14 |
| toscho | but changing it and clicking on apply only changes for some windows | 16:14 |
| toscho | i don't know. it's comix cursor original orange regular slim which comes along lubuntu | 16:15 |
| notjoe | I have an issue. I installed the nvidia drivers which seems to have caused an issue. my screen is 1920x1080p and looking at the desktop it looks right. However, when I click on the start menu or launch a program everything looks huge | 16:29 |
| KM0201 | why does lubuntu software center only show "installed" software, instead of available software? | 16:32 |
| Unit193 | It also should show "installable" too. | 16:33 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 16:33 |
| bioterror | notjoe, png or we will not believe you | 16:50 |
| notjoe | sure, hold on a sec | 16:50 |
| notjoe | whats the app to capture the screen with printscreen? | 16:52 |
| bioterror | well | 16:53 |
| bioterror | let's do it like | 16:53 |
| bioterror | you press alt+f2 | 16:53 |
| bioterror | you type: scrot -d 5 shot.png | 16:54 |
| bioterror | and during that time, you press menu -button | 16:54 |
| bioterror | and you keep it open | 16:54 |
| bioterror | -d5 means that it's 5 second delay | 16:54 |
| bioterror | and the screenshot will appear into ~/ | 16:55 |
| notjoe | k, its coming up, one sec | 16:56 |
| notjoe | http://i50.tinypic.com/8xpzxx.png | 16:58 |
| bioterror | damn that's huge :D | 16:59 |
| bioterror | hahaha | 16:59 |
| notjoe | everything looks 640x480 but nvidia settings/etc reports 1920x1080p | 16:59 |
| notjoe | it wouldk be great is i was blind! | 16:59 |
| notjoe | if* | 16:59 |
| bioterror | okay | 16:59 |
| bioterror | you need to tweak things | 16:59 |
| bioterror | change size of font and size of titlebars | 17:00 |
| bioterror | I guess that could do the trick | 17:00 |
| bioterror | ass all the icons are small | 17:00 |
| bioterror | but text is huge | 17:00 |
| bioterror | -s | 17:01 |
| notjoe | i don't see anything which would let me do that | 17:01 |
| bioterror | lxappearance | 17:01 |
| bioterror | and obconf | 17:01 |
| notjoe | customize look and feel app doesn't have anything | 17:01 |
| bioterror | those are your tools | 17:01 |
| notjoe | font size for stuff in obconf is 11 | 17:02 |
| notjoe | i dont see anything which would cause everything to be huge. I mean, the font size and everything else seems to be within the scope of what my laptop's settings are. | 17:04 |
| notjoe | it runs lubuntu as well | 17:04 |
| craigbass1976 | What do you folks think of Lubuntu running fairly well on a mac ibook g4? Lost Cause Department? | 17:05 |
| Unit193 | Well, others don't think so as they do it. | 17:06 |
| Unit193 | There is a PPC build and everything too. | 17:07 |
| craigbass1976 | Where's the ppc build? | 17:09 |
| Unit193 | http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/precise/release/ | 17:09 |
| craigbass1976 | Ahh. I was here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#Get_Lubuntu | 17:11 |
| Unit193 | Link in topic lead to the correct one. | 17:12 |
| notjoe | hmmm | 17:18 |
| notjoe | i dont get this ;( | 17:18 |
| notjoe | and if i remove the nvidia drivers it works again | 17:22 |
| bioterror | notjoe, sounds really weird | 17:33 |
| bioterror | notjoe, http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/204-solved-nvidia-drivers-and-fonts-size/ | 17:34 |
| notjoe | hmm, looks promising! Thanks for finding that. I'll give it a shot and let you know but it sounds like the problem im having | 17:37 |
| notjoe | ah ha | 17:41 |
| notjoe | that did the trick! Thanks a lot for you help bio | 17:41 |
| notjoe | your* | 17:42 |
| bioterror | np | 17:42 |
| notjoe | I'm starting to really like lubuntu. I got sick of unity and jumped ship and have been happy ever since! | 17:43 |
| bioterror | nice to hear, people seems to skip all the KDE and XFce4 stuff, and move to more hardcore :D | 17:44 |
| Unit193 | Seen many go to Xfce, and some go to LXDE too. | 17:44 |
| bioterror | Unit193, only way to go is go too far! | 17:45 |
| Unit193 | AwesomeWM? That one you have to compile? :D | 17:45 |
| bioterror | hurrrh | 17:46 |

| Listener | Curious as to why Lubuntu 12.04 is not LTS? | 19:18 |
| bioterror | Listener, becouse we have like hand full of devs | 19:22 |
| Unit193 | Handful? That many? | 19:22 |
| bioterror | Listener, not enough to maintain old release for years and meanwhile keep developing the next one | 19:22 |
| bioterror | Unit193, they like food, they are big boned! takes more space from the hand | 19:23 |
| Unit193 | Though, the core is supported, it's just tghe LXDE part that isn't. | 19:23 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: I see, that's it! | 19:23 |
| bioterror | and still, LXDE is developed with quite a speed | 19:23 |
| bioterror | it would be not so good idea to stick with the old LXDE components | 19:23 |
| Listener | bioterror, thnx... Never understood LTS except for servers anyway. | 19:28 |
| bioterror | Listener, now you're getting the point! | 19:31 |
| bmoez | how to open lubuntu session from console (tty1), when i try "startlubuntu" , i have this error "cannot open display" | 19:32 |
| bioterror | and what else does it say? | 19:32 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: Last time I tried it, (been a while) you had to manually start X, switch to new TTY, then startlubuntu. | 19:33 |
| bmoez | just there is not DISPLAY variable, and i don't know to correct it | 19:33 |
| bioterror | damn we have had a busy and akward case day today | 19:34 |
| bmoez | startx don't solve it, because it open unity-2 | 19:34 |
| GridCube | startlubuntu -- :2 | 19:35 |

| valdur55 | hmm... there was .xinitrc file in home folder :) ... or .xsession | 19:38 |
| Myrtti | Listener: I use LTS on machines that I don't want to be upgrading every six months. In my case: my sisters computer. | 19:44 |
| Listener | Myrtti, I promise not to tell her that you compared her is a server. | 19:47 |
| Listener | 'to' | 19:48 |
| bmoez | ony command line to get DISPLAY var work correctly? | 19:56 |
| notjoe_ | !patience | 20:00 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 20:00 |
| notjoe_ | I think you should throw in http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lubuntu for some added humour ;) | 20:01 |
