| gfom | I'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades and see that I should do sudo aptitude install update-manager-core, then sudo do-release-upgrade. I do this, and get told No new release found. How do I get a lucid lubuntu up to precise lubuntu? | 02:36 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 02:37 |
| Unit193 | Because you're going from LTS to LTS, it'd have to have -d until 12.04.1 came along. | 02:37 |
| gfom | What's the -d ? I just started something else with apt, so I can't run this yet | 02:38 |
| gfom | Ahh | 02:38 |
| gfom | And how would I get package updates for a box that won't be online? | 02:38 |
| Unit193 | Well, there's offline apt. | 02:41 |
| PsyCl0ne | Good evening everyone. The other day I upgraded my lubuntu install from 10.04 to the latest 12.04 but have since lost sound. I have taken a look at my alsamixer but there are no sliders that I haven't unmuted or maxed out. Would any one else have an idea of what I could try next? | 02:42 |
| Unit193 | gfom: Check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. | 02:42 |
| Unit193 | !aptoncd | 02:43 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 02:43 |
| Unit193 | PsyCl0ne: I for some reason hate sound issues, but https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA#Troubleshooting may help, as may... | 02:45 |
| Unit193 | !sound | 02:45 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 02:45 |
| PsyCl0ne | Unit193: Thank you. I will take a look through those. | 02:45 |
| gfom | PsyCl0ne, have you got the pulse mixer? There's a choice between headphone and something else (I'm not at my laptop now and can't say for sure) that if you're on the wrong one, no sound. | 02:47 |
| gfom | PsyCl0ne, I'm also finding that things don't stay put after a reboot | 02:48 |
| PsyCl0ne | gfom: You know what, I don't know... | 02:48 |
| PsyCl0ne | gfom: pulsemixer should bring it up in terminal right? | 02:49 |
| Unit193 | !infno pavucontrol | 02:49 |
| Unit193 | !info pavucontrol | 02:49 |

| craigbass1976 | PsyCl0ne, Hey, it's gfom but I'm at my laptop... In the output devices, you can have speakers or headphones selected. | 02:50 |
| PsyCl0ne | actually guys I dont have a sound preference option | 02:51 |
| craigbass1976 | I wrote this: http://www.doopensource.com/applications/stream-audio-with-ubuntu/ and couldn't get it figured out with alsa and the regular volume control app. | 02:51 |
| gfom | FAH! I hate how ubuntu always comes with vi, not vim. Always takes me a minute to realize why stuff won't work... | 02:54 |
| rolandb | hey everytime i try to drag items from the archive manager to my home folder, lubuntu straight hangs after giving me a permissions error? | 03:14 |
| yimalot | I'm running 12.04 64 live-usb started up extremely slow, but seems to run fine after complete boot, how's it running on full install? anybody | 03:20 |
| mi3 | hello! | 03:33 |

| mi3 | hello! | 03:37 |

| mi3 | I am not asking anything, Unit193 | 03:37 |
| mi3 | I did not know that ubottu was on this channel also | 03:38 |
| Unit193 | Ah, well you said "Hello!" a few times so I thought you were. Yep, had her for a little now, before we just had ubot5 | 03:38 |
| mi3 | oooo | 03:39 |
| mi3 | so, Unit193 , are you friends with kanliot ? | 03:39 |
| Unit193 | Not exactly, but I know him as well as well as can be expected on IRC/mailing list. | 03:40 |
| mi3 | ooo, kanliot asked me if I could help the lubuntu team in the wikis...... | 03:40 |
| Unit193 | Want to chat in -offtopic? | 03:42 |
| mi3 | sure | 03:42 |
| rolandb | Unit193, apparently this is a "known pcmanfm bug" according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/925142 | 03:53 |

| Guest48984 | ok, then, i was on wubi selecting which ubuntu to install, and i wanted to install lubuntu, but on the website i read: only for 18 months, or sth like this. what does it mean? | 05:09 |
| Guest48984 | i last chatted on mIRC around 1997, i don't even remember how to do this :D | 05:10 |
| kanliot | hmm | 05:10 |
| kanliot | its hard to explain | 05:10 |
| kanliot | you know warantees | 05:10 |

| Guest48984 | well, i know what they mean, more or less | 05:10 |
| Guest48984 | yes,, ok | 05:10 |
| kanliot | it's like an 18 month waranty | 05:10 |

| toscho | hi, one of my lxpanels takes very long to appear after startup | 12:13 |
| bioterror | toscho, why? | 12:14 |
| toscho | don't know | 12:14 |
| bioterror | what does that panel doo? | 12:14 |
| toscho | it has taskbar, pager, volume control, systray, clock and an application launch bar holding a link to shutdown | 12:15 |
| bioterror | it's that basic lxpanel? | 12:18 |
| bioterror | default one | 12:18 |
| toscho | i don't know, which of my 2 panels is the default one. but probably it's that one | 12:19 |
| bioterror | what that another panel does? | 12:19 |
| toscho | a menu, some application launch bars and spacers | 12:19 |
| bioterror | and how much is "very long" to appear? | 12:20 |
| bioterror | 20 seconds? | 12:20 |
| toscho | less | 12:20 |
| toscho | 10 seconds maybe | 12:20 |
| bioterror | I'll add this case into file named "1st world problems" | 12:21 |
| toscho | that means, 10 seconds after the first one appears | 12:21 |
| toscho | but before 12.04 that problem did not exist | 12:21 |
| bioterror | if you kill the panel | 12:22 |
| bioterror | and you open it from terminal | 12:22 |
| bioterror | again | 12:22 |
| bioterror | does it take that long too? | 12:22 |
| toscho | sudo killall lxpanel? | 12:22 |
| bioterror | you dont need to sudo it | 12:22 |
| toscho | restart via lxpanel? | 12:23 |
| bioterror | killall lxpanel | 12:23 |
| bioterror | and run from terminal command: lxpanel | 12:23 |
| toscho | nearinstantaneous, but not my lxpanel. it seems to be the default lxpanel (if i recall it correctly) | 12:24 |
| bioterror | oh well wait | 12:24 |
| bioterror | kill it with -C | 12:24 |
| bioterror | lxpanel -p Lubuntu | 12:24 |
| toscho | nearinstantaneous and the correct one, but of course not a daemon (so dies when term is killed) | 12:26 |
| bioterror | ofcourse | 12:27 |
| bioterror | so it has something to do with the "boot" | 12:27 |
| toscho | yes | 12:28 |
| DrunkOn | http://paste.ubuntu.com/964555/ | 12:37 |
| DrunkOn | Epson responsible for the error? | 12:38 |
| bioterror | yes | 12:38 |
| bioterror | the signature does not match | 12:39 |
| DrunkOn | And Ubuntu Extras? | 12:41 |
| bioterror | yes | 12:42 |
| DrunkOn | I added this key: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com> to see if I could fix the bug, and it's caused its own problem. How can I remove it? | 12:44 |

| mi3 | bioterror, sorry for that hehe | 15:13 |
| mi3 | was just kidding hahahaha | 15:13 |
| KM0201 | mi3: is it just a specific file type, or any video file? | 15:13 |
| mi3 | KM0201, any video file | 15:14 |
| KM0201 | weird. | 15:14 |
| mi3 | the cpu usage jumps directly to 95-100% for no reason! | 15:15 |
| mi3 | I have tried both the players, KM0201 | 15:15 |
| KM0201 | i believe you, i just have no logical explanation.. what CPU? | 15:16 |
| mi3 | cpu usage! | 15:16 |
| KM0201 | .. | 15:16 |
| KM0201 | "what CPU".. in other words, how many mhz, intel/amd? | 15:16 |
| mi3 | oo, Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.1 GHz | 15:17 |
| KM0201 | hmm,well, that should be plenty | 15:17 |
| mi3 | it is, never had this problem, while I used ubuntu | 15:17 |
| KM0201 | mi3: does the CPU use go back to "normal" when you close the video file? | 15:18 |
| mi3 | KM0201, I found something interesting, when playing videos with low quality, | 15:19 |
| ChesterX | hello everyone, does one of you know how to change the default soundcard in 12.04? thanks :-) | 15:20 |
| mi3 | the cpu usage is normal | 15:20 |
| mi3 | the case is only with high res videos I think | 15:20 |
| mi3 | KM0201, are you there | 15:22 |
| KM0201 | well.. wha thappens if you play "regular" resolution videos? | 15:23 |
| mi3 | it runs perfectly, the cpu usage is between 30-35 | 15:23 |
| rico_ | all my applications closed somehow I dont know | 15:25 |
| mi3 | sorry, wrong nick hehe | 15:26 |
| mi3 | KM0201, so, can you figure it out? | 15:26 |
| KM0201 | if i could figure it out, i'd offer a suggestion.. it's obviously something to do w/ the hi-res videos... i just have no idea what | 15:27 |
| mi3 | ok... | 15:27 |
| mi3 | maybe I will download normal res videos, for now | 15:27 |
| mi3 | thats the best option I guess, till this bug is resolved... | 15:28 |
| mi3 | bye, and thank you! | 15:28 |
| KM0201 | try to file a bug report. | 15:28 |

| phillw | There are a couple of 'hits' for your error, such as http://askubuntu.com/questions/18531/error-out-of-disk-grub-rescue although http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/182235-ubuntu-installation-error-hd0-out-disk-grub-rescue.html does suggest your way as a clean way of clearing things :) | 17:40 |
| phillw | Khmerog: one thing... Do ensure you run the self test on the CD / usb stick before you re-try. | 17:43 |
| bioterror | life is too short for performing self tests for installation medias ,) | 17:44 |
| phillw | bioterror: life is tooooooooooo short to have a corrupted install media & end up in the land of the 'funnies' :D | 17:45 |
| bioterror | better make perfect installation at once | 17:51 |

| vociferous666 | precise | 17:59 |
| vociferous666 | trying to generate xorg.conf and none of the current methods work. | 17:59 |
| vociferous666 | ive tried these commands: | 17:59 |
| bioterror | sudo service lightdm stop | 17:59 |
| bioterror | sudo Xorg -configure | 17:59 |
| vociferous666 | yea that didnt work | 18:00 |

| vociferous666 | all of it. | 18:00 |
| vociferous666 | get a Number of Screens does not match number of detected evices | 18:00 |
| vociferous666 | i get what seems to be a very generic xorg file in my home directory | 18:01 |
| njin | AFAIK xorg.conf is generated any times it boot | 18:01 |
| vociferous666 | yea but i need to specify configuration for each screen. this is a media server with two seats. | 18:01 |

| vociferous666 | the documentation is using a Sandybridge gpu AND a Radeon | 18:03 |
| njin | sorry dunno | 18:07 |
| vociferous666 | is there any way to know if the generated xorg is being used? | 18:08 |
| vociferous666 | oh well. so hows norway this time of year? | 18:09 |
| rumpelstilzchen | look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:09 |
| vociferous666 | ok thx | 18:09 |
| rumpelstilzchen | could anyone help me getting my suspend key to work? I need to press Fn+F3 but xev doesn't recognize it while showkey does | 18:11 |
| rumpelstilzchen | media keys work too | 18:11 |
| vociferous666 | what system you on? sounds like an HP? | 18:11 |
| rumpelstilzchen | yes | 18:12 |
| vociferous666 | which series? | 18:12 |
| rumpelstilzchen | hp dm3-1008eg | 18:12 |
| vociferous666 | also, what version of Lubuntu and did you dist-upgrade from an old one? | 18:12 |
| rumpelstilzchen | I did a clean install of 12.04 | 18:12 |
| vociferous666 | excellent | 18:13 |
| vociferous666 | i havent used it on a laptop yet, but what happens when you hit the suspend key? also, what happens when yo hit the power button? | 18:16 |
| rumpelstilzchen | unfortunately I can't answer your question regarding the power button because it broke | 18:18 |
| bioterror | vociferous666, those can be configured | 18:19 |
| rumpelstilzchen | when I hit suspend (Fn+F3) nothing happens at all | 18:19 |
| vociferous666 | aw man that sux. | 18:19 |
| rumpelstilzchen | it was this slider thing and now I have to fiddle around in the opening with a thin object to turn on the notebook | 18:19 |
| vociferous666 | look through these and try to configure your keys: | 18:20 |

| milen8204 | any one have problems whit Lubuntu 12.04 | 19:18 |
| bloodred | I do. My suspend key doesn't work :/ | 19:21 |
| bloodred | even after I set everything up with keytouch | 19:21 |
| bloodred | I take that back | 19:32 |
| bloodred | well, not completely | 19:33 |

| sunshine_ | Hi, the button of the brightness for lubuntu , where is? | 19:54 |
| faLUCE | hi, I can't hear audio anymore, on 11.10. From what can I start in order to solve? | 19:57 |
| sunshine_ | faluce do you have some button for the brightness in your lubuntu? | 19:59 |
| faLUCE | sunshine_: I don't know | 19:59 |
| faLUCE | sunshine_: yes, fn+arrow | 20:00 |
| sunshine_ | what is the key fn ? | 20:00 |
| sunshine_ | which is the key fn? | 20:01 |
| faLUCE | Fn (near ctrl) | 20:01 |
| sunshine_ | ok | 20:01 |
| faLUCE | near ctrl and alt | 20:01 |
| Batshua | A friend of mine has an IBM ThinkPad T40. Will it be able to run Lubuntu? | 20:02 |
| sunshine_ | fn + arrow dont work in my lubuntu | 20:03 |
| gordonjcp | Batshua: probably, have you tried? | 20:03 |
| faLUCE | sunshine_: how can I solve the audio problem? | 20:04 |
| Batshua | I was going to download a disc image and burn it? | 20:04 |
| gordonjcp | Batshua: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T40 <- one of those? | 20:04 |
| bioterror | Batshua, I have T42, it runs but it's not enjoyable | 20:04 |
| Batshua | Yes, one of those. | 20:04 |
| gordonjcp | Batshua: it'll run "normal" Ubuntu, never mind Lubuntu | 20:04 |
| bioterror | what? :D | 20:05 |
| Batshua | Will Lubuntu suck less? | 20:05 |
| Batshua | 'Cause I don't want his first linux experience to be "god, my computer is so slow" | 20:05 |
| Batshua | I figure that's a bad plan. | 20:05 |
| bioterror | Batshua, it will be slow | 20:06 |
| bioterror | when you change workspace, cpu usage lifts up to 100% | 20:06 |
| Batshua | Okay. | 20:06 |
| sunshine_ | faluce you could install alsa audio drivers or plugins from lubuntu software or apt | 20:06 |
| bioterror | I have 1.7GHz and 1.5GB of RAM | 20:06 |
| bioterror | so I would not run vanilla buntu on that one | 20:06 |
| bioterror | I mostly use this Windows 7 laptop instead of that and wonder where could I get a new better lappy :D | 20:07 |
| * Batshua nods. | 20:07 | |
| Batshua | Lubuntu it is, then. I was thinking Xubuntu, but I hear Lubuntu is better for old computers. | 20:07 |
| faLUCE | sunshine_: apt-get what? | 20:08 |
| sunshine_ | i need a pluging for the brightness in lubuntu? is possible? | 20:08 |
| sunshine_ | i need a button for the brightness | 20:09 |
| Batshua | Thanks, guys! | 20:09 |
| Batshua | (If anyone is good with xorg.conf files and likes puzzles, drop me a line.) | 20:10 |
| sunshine_ | faluce you can search alsa audio from the software center of lubuntu or from apt manager of lubuntu | 20:11 |
| sunshine_ | or something similiar osd audio alsa audio ..... | 20:12 |
| gordonjcp | I'm running "normal" Ubuntu on a 1.8GHz Celeron M with 1G of RAM | 20:13 |
| gordonjcp | it's perfectly usable | 20:13 |
| gordonjcp | I tried out Lubuntu but it's completely pointless on low-end hardware | 20:14 |
| gordonjcp | since anything with a new enough CPU to handle i686 will be fine with normal Ubuntu | 20:14 |
| Unit193 | Mhmm, then you use it and be happy. | 20:15 |
| sunshine_ | is there some user of lubuntu with a plugin or button for the brightness installed in lubuntu? | 20:15 |
| gordonjcp | sunshine_: ah, that's why I stopped using it on my laptop ;-) | 20:15 |
| gordonjcp | as soon as the screen saver kicks in, it turns the backlight right down with no way to turn it up | 20:16 |
| sunshine_ | fn + arrow dont work in my lubuntu | 20:16 |
| bioterror | sunshine_, your hardware is? | 20:17 |
| gordonjcp | what Lubuntu really needs is i586 builds | 20:17 |
| sunshine_ | intel centrino duo | 20:17 |
| gordonjcp | or for that matter i486 | 20:17 |
| gordonjcp | because that would rock on embedded x86 hardware that lacks cmove | 20:17 |
| SomeoneWhoIsntMe | i have the same brightness problems. couldnt really solve it, but have the same ones in ubuntu, too. i always change the brightness back with xbacklight | 20:18 |
| bioterror | then use slackware | 20:18 |
| bioterror | they have i486 | 20:18 |
| bioterror | "hello 90's" | 20:18 |
| sunshine_ | xbacklight dont work in my lubuntu | 20:19 |
| bioterror | on your lubuntu or on your laptop | 20:19 |
| bioterror | tell us brand and model | 20:19 |
| bioterror | would help a little bit more | 20:19 |
| sunshine_ | intel centrino duo | 20:20 |
| sunshine_ | hp | 20:20 |
| gordonjcp | bioterror: what have the 90s got to do with it? | 20:22 |
| sunshine_ | is there more plugins for the panel of lxde in lubuntu with a brightness button for install? | 20:23 |
| bioterror | well, one is crying after some old i486 kernels, and dual core cpu's are already garbage for most of the people | 20:24 |
| gordonjcp | dual core *is* garbage | 20:24 |
| gordonjcp | way too power-hungry | 20:24 |
| === len is now known as Guest26219 | ||
| gordonjcp | bioterror: I'm currently looking at OS options for a board which uses a CPU that is basically a 1.6GHz Pentium III, running around 700mW | 20:25 |
| gordonjcp | *flat out* | 20:25 |
| gordonjcp | doesn't even have a heatsink, never mind a fan | 20:25 |
| gordonjcp | well it's got a daft wee black aluminium plate glued n | 20:25 |
| gordonjcp | *on | 20:25 |
| bioterror | my atom 330 box only has fan in the psu | 20:25 |
| bioterror | it will probably eat less power and has more power when needed | 20:26 |
| gordonjcp | it's possible | 20:26 |
| gordonjcp | bioterror: the whole board draws around 1.5W | 20:26 |
| gordonjcp | but that's peak, it's usually below 1W | 20:27 |
| bioterror | you have a wattage meter reading the usage? | 20:27 |
| sunshine_ | could i make a plugin for the brightness with only copy and paste a text of comands for lubuntu? | 20:28 |
| gordonjcp | bioterror: yes | 20:28 |
| gordonjcp | bioterror: actually, I'm using a digital sillyscope with a current shunt | 20:28 |
| bioterror | well, the fastest tualatin is 1.4GHz | 20:28 |
| gordonjcp | so I can see exactly how the current draw fluctuates | 20:28 |
| bioterror | is your cpu over clocked then? | 20:29 |
| gordonjcp | this is some weirdass chinese name that I'm not going to attempt to transliterate | 20:29 |
| gordonjcp | no, it's running at its spec | 20:29 |
| gordonjcp | it's not a "PC" type processor, it's SoC | 20:30 |
| sunshine_ | why lubuntu hasnt a pluging for the brightness like gnome or xubuntu ? | 20:30 |
| Unit193 | sunshine_: xbacklight didn't work? Did you look at the config in xfce4-power-manager-settings? | 20:31 |
| bioterror | gordonjcp, it's not pentium III either, as the fastest Tualatin is 1.4GHz | 20:31 |
| bioterror | gordonjcp, jpeg or I dont believe you | 20:32 |
| sunshine_ | xfce4 power the last version for lubuntu hasnt a brightness control | 20:32 |
| Unit193 | So install xbacklight and see if it works, and xfce4-power-manager-settings is installed by default. | 20:33 |
| sunshine_ | my machine is a hp and xbacklight dont work with hp , i think it | 20:34 |
| Unit193 | Alright, and the other option was xfce4-power-manager-settings, did that have whatever you were looking for? | 20:35 |
| sunshine_ | xfce4-power-manager-settings in my lubuntu 12.04 hasnt this option for the brightness | 20:37 |
| gordonjcp | bioterror: remind me tomorrow when I'm at work | 20:37 |
| gordonjcp | sunshine_: which hp? | 20:37 |
| sunshine_ | hp dv9000 | 20:38 |
| sunshine_ | a expert maybe build a brightness plugin for lubuntu, please. | 20:42 |
| gordonjcp | that's rather newer than my nc4200 ;-) | 20:42 |
| gordonjcp | I need to spend some money on a new laptop instead of buying dev boards | 20:43 |
| bioterror | sunshine_, fn+f7 does not rise the brightness? | 20:44 |
| sunshine_ | bioterro ok work fine | 20:45 |
| sunshine_ | bioterror | 20:45 |
| sunshine_ | i dont know it | 20:46 |
| bioterror | sorry, F8 is up | 20:46 |
| bioterror | and F7 is down ;) | 20:46 |
| sunshine_ | ok perfet | 20:46 |
| bioterror | does it work? | 20:46 |
| sunshine_ | yes and very well | 20:47 |
| bioterror | good | 20:47 |
| bioterror | another happy camper | 20:47 |
| sunshine_ | bu although was difficult know it for me | 20:47 |

| chorgox | of course i forgot about the psycho cats .. thanks | 23:46 |
| chorgox | lxde is the really lightweight one right ? | 23:47 |
| Unit193 | Rather, yep. | 23:47 |
| chorgox | i can of like the unity but is not good for netbooks | 23:47 |
| chorgox | too slow and to be hones the old 10.04 netbook desktop was great .. i don't know why they stop doing that | 23:48 |
