[00:03] omg you guys! if anybody is still in here who helped me before, lubuntu now works for me! [00:04] the problem turned out to be the beta install disc i had [00:04] :) [00:05] actually i'm not sure the initial setup is a bit goofy [00:08] weren't you having a wireless problem or something? [00:09] yes i was [00:10] ... somehow i doubt that was a problem w/ the beta disk, but i'm glad you got it resolved [00:10] whats your wireless device on that machine? [00:10] let me explain.. when i actually went to install from that disc i got errors and my computer would crash [00:10] well thats not really indicative of a wireless problem [00:10] so i burned a new disc and this one can see wireless networks in the beggining [00:11] but i won't know for sure until its done installing, [00:24] okay now how can i get to that grub menu where i can select to start lubuntu? [00:24] when it dual? [00:27] in the past it has just been automatic [00:28] hydro: it should come up automatically [00:28] only time grub is "hidden" by default, is when Lubuntu(or ubuntu) is the only OS on the machine [00:31] well thats weird did it not properly install? [00:33] is it the only OS on the machine? [00:37] kM0201 no its not [00:38] but i think i'm gonna reinstall it as the only one, since the wireless works perfect in the test version [00:38] 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. [00:40] 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] i have a win 7 partition (granted, I haven't booted it in about 2mo.) [00:45] it automatically boots into windows without any grub [00:46] i have a back up disc for my computer if for some reason it ever comes to that [00:46] so.. you're not getting into your Lubuntu install, right hydro ? [00:47] right [00:47] im guessing grub did not get installed properly [00:47] it acted totally wacky during install [00:47] so how would i fix it? try installing it again? [00:47] what do you mean "totally whacky" [00:48] and if it's "totally whacky" why on earth would you wanna nuke windows and go just w/ Lubuntu [00:49] 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 [00:50] hydro: dunno, something went weird [00:50] 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] but i just figured some graphics driver wasn't right or something === chrisdruif is now known as MrChrisDruif [00:52] hmm [00:52] that is odd [00:52] What is? [00:52] hydro: explain your prob to MrChrisDruif [00:52] im gonna try reinstalling it [00:53] oh i installed lubuntu side by side with windows but when i rebooted it just boots straight into windows [00:53] no grub or anything [00:55] You installed Lubuntu after Windows? [00:55] yes [02:27] for a reason, i like lubuntu more than ubuntu :) from the first second :) [02:33] anyone have any issues with the Task Bar when upgrading to 12.04? [02:51] hi [02:51] is there custom mods for lubuntu? i want to "spice" up the way lubuntu looks [03:56] guys..right now i am installing lubuntu..i need help with partitioning.. === james is now known as Guest71841 [03:56] installer crashes after i select location [03:57] which filesystem do i select so it doesnt crash? [03:58] i had 4 partitions in window xp [03:58] i formatted xp partition and selected ext 4 [03:59] Guest13335, any one primary partition [03:59] after that installer crashes [04:00] is there any error popping up or is it simpling hanging up? [04:00] ok right now i am on partition screen [04:00] here i have 5 disks.. [04:00] 3 of them are ntfs and have my data [04:00] 4th is 1gb swap [04:01] and 5th is ext4 [04:01] which partition did you try to install Ubuntu /dev/sda ? what number? [04:01] sda 8 [04:02] i have sda 1 5 6 and 7 [04:02] 5 6 7 have my data [04:02] sda 8 is free i had windows on it [04:02] sda 1 is swap [04:03] what mount point do i select for sda 8 [04:03] um did i said something stupid? [04:04] dang [04:04] ? [04:05] what do i select for boot loader installation? [04:05] Guest13335, I believe sda1 should be install partition and sda8 should be the swap space [04:05] but sda 1 is only 1 gb man [04:05] I am not sure whether sda8 is a primary partition [04:06] k wait.. [04:06] now i deleted both.. [04:06] now i have sda 5 6 7 which have my personal data.. [04:06] right click unallocated space and create a primary partition [04:07] and rest is free space [04:08] k i select primary..what do i select in mount point [04:08] give / [04:09] k now i have sda 1 ext4 19.9 gb [04:09] That's cool [04:09] what about swapspace [04:09] now try creating the swap and proceed [04:09] i want to create swap by cutting some part of sda 1 [04:10] oo k i get it now [04:11] 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] swap area should be primary or logical? [04:12] lol i bet some people here are like :facepalm: [04:12] first create the main partition with mount pooint / [04:12] once it is done, create the other one as logical [04:12] Guest13335, We have no problem with the beginners :] [04:14] k its done.. 18 gb is sda 1.. 1.9 gb is sda 8 swap and rest are sda 5 6 7 [04:14] cool. now click next [04:14] do i need to make changes in drop down menu?

I have done that :] [04:45] can you suggest how? [04:45] or you can also remove all other DE and have lxde [04:45] !purelxde | mi3 [04:45] 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] !lxde [04:47] IAmNotThatGuy, I am currently using mate DE, is it still applicable ?? [04:47] IAmNotThatGuy, I want to keep mate, remove unity, and install lxde [04:50] Let unity also be there and just install lxde :) [04:50] mi3: i think the commands on that page might remove some dependencies of mate [04:50] in which case just reinstall :P [04:50] I want to keep mate and install lxde, any suggestions yell0w ?? [04:50] mi3, do not run them. Just install lxde [04:50] err ok [04:54] is pcmanfm-mod the new pcmanfm ? [04:57] No, someones modified version. [04:58] hmm [04:58] is there a wiki/guide/something on context menu for pcmanfm ? [04:59] There's the manpage. [04:59] erhm i read that [05:00] doesn't really have a whole lot in it [05:01] http://wiki.lxde.org/en/PCManFM doesn't have a ton.

[07:02] Abiword is usually lighting fast, but this version is horribly slow and laggy. [07:02] version 2.9.2 [07:02] i will try :) [07:03] user123420d3: i had a similar issue with abiword.. i fixed it by nuking abiword and installing libreoffice (which is pretty fast) [07:03] KM0201..yeah i'm thinking about doing that. [07:03] abiword crashed :) [07:03] lol [07:03] create two pages, can't click on open [07:03] then creashed [07:05] this is my first time i use lubuntu [07:05] i think the current version has some "issues" [07:05] anyway, in two days I have seen more crash reports in Lubuntu than in Linux (Ubuntu) using in 2 years [07:05] wonder why I always install libreoffice... [07:06] i believe that is problem of new 12.04, i think it will be fixed in 2-3 months [07:06] well [07:06] if you can make things to crash [07:06] then you have to report bugs of them [07:06] if you can duplicate it [07:06] !backtrace [07:06] To get a backtrace of a failing application please read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace [07:08] bioterro, i'm kinda lazy to report bug [07:08] the reason is that i have report maybe 3-4 times bugs and never problem was solved in 6-12 months [07:08] then things wont get any better [07:08] only one problem was solved is bug reported to libre office [07:08] your bugs are too trivial :D [07:08] lol [07:09] yep, always blame the user ;) [07:13] btw, becauise i'm new on lubuntu, I will report bugs again ;) [07:16] libreoffice-writer seems to be working fine.

[16:14] but changing it and clicking on apply only changes for some windows [16:15] i don't know. it's comix cursor original orange regular slim which comes along lubuntu [16:29] 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.
