[01:35] <Guest71518> where to exactly put neuropolitical font from this link
[04:20] <Unit193> MarioB: You may also want to join #lubuntu-offtopic as it does double as the -devel or team talk (among random talk.)  That is, if you are the MarioB I know.
[08:53] <lewellyn> well, i thank you guys for lubuntu. it made my (short) time on ubuntu less painful. but ubuntu's not going to cut it for me, in the end, for this task.
[11:10] <leszek> hi
[15:24] <davidk> "init: lightdm main process (8546) terminated with status 1"
[15:24] <davidk> installation process seems to have crashed
[16:24] <davidk> does anyone know how to deal with crashing lubuntu install processes?
[16:29] <Lman> hi everyone
[16:29] <Lman> having trouble accessing my lubuntu box from the windows network
[16:29] <Lman> i can access the windows network but they can not access my lubuntu box although its visible on the network
[16:32] <davidk> Lman: what do you want to "access"? samba shares? is samba even configured?
[16:33] <Lman> yes samba is configured, able to see other windows machines on the network and access them, my lubuntu box shows up as well but can not be accessed
[16:34] <davidk> (disclaimer: I am not a lubuntu user, the installer crashes on my machine, and I am searching for help with that. but I have some general linux experience...)
[16:34] <davidk> Lman: which windows versions are in the network?
[16:34] <Lman> win 7 and xp
[16:36] <davidk> any security considerations you have? or just "it should work, no user/passwords required, this is a secure home environment"?
[16:36] <Lman> i used system-config-samba to configure the shared folder
[16:36] <davidk> can you pastebin your smb.conf?
[16:37] <Lman> my share name in system-config-samba however is not the same as the name of the lubuntu box when it shows up on the network
[16:37] <davidk> that's okay
[16:38] <davidk> difference is a "(Samba version)"?
[16:38] <Lman> will pastebin in a second
[16:39] <Lman> http://pastebin.com/H7zHyfUg
[16:45] <davidk> Lman: have you tried changing the security option?
[16:45] <davidk> http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-rg-en-4/s1-samba-security-modes.html
[16:47] <davidk> if security is not an issue you could try just changing that to "share" in line 102 (and uncomment it)
[16:48] <Lman> so change from security to share?
[16:48] <Lman> so   share = user  ?
[16:49] <davidk> user to share
[16:49] <davidk> security = share
[16:49] <Lman> gotcha
[16:49] <davidk> + removing the ";" at the beginning of the line
[16:50] <Lman> i was thinking since i am trying to share my home folder i man have to  tell samba
[16:50] <Lman> under share definitions that home directories are browsable
[16:50] <davidk> ah, if that is what you are trying samba has some special treatment for home directories
[16:51] <Lman> so in samba ;   also comments out a line?
[16:51] <davidk> yes
[16:51] <Lman> because friggin everything has a ; in front of it
[16:51] <davidk> yes
[16:51] <davidk> you are creating a share "DanBuntu", and it is not browsable
[16:52] <Lman> if thats the case there is a ; in front of browseable = yes   when referring to my home folder    (at bottom of config file)
[16:52] <davidk> but it should be accessible
[16:52] <davidk> yes, try changing that as well
[16:52] <davidk> couldn't hurt
[16:52] <Lman> ok, so one at a time, to see what does the trick  , probablyl the best route?
[16:53] <davidk> there is also a [homes] section
[16:53] <davidk> this allows you to create shares for all your linux user home directories with a single setting
[16:53] <Lman> yea i saw that as well, and think i will probably have to change it
[16:54] <davidk> not if you only have a single user and want to keep the separate section at the bottom
[16:54] <Lman> so maybe if I uncomment that and make it browseable i might not need the DanBuntu setting
[16:54] <davidk> correct
[16:54] <Lman> i c
[16:54] <Lman> let me take a look
[16:55] <Lman> k just making DanBuntu browesable didn't do the trick
[16:55] <Lman> so now i will try the home section
[16:57] <Lman> Do I need to setup a new samba user?
[16:58] <davidk> your normal user account should be fine
[16:58] <Lman> ok
[16:59] <Lman> checking now, with home directories option enabled
[16:59] <davidk> with security=user the username you use for authentication is used for determining access privileges
[17:00] <Lman> windows complains that it can't find the computer or device name
[17:01] <davidk> but it shows it in the network neighbourhood (or whatever that is called)?
[17:01] <Lman> yea
[17:01] <Lman> strange
[17:02] <Lman> shows up as just dell-dell something, not the share name i gave it in samba
[17:02] <davidk> hmm... okay... weird..
[17:02] <davidk> is samba running?
[17:02] <davidk> have you tried entering the server address manually in windows?
[17:03] <Lman> no
[17:03] <Lman> trying now
[17:03] <davidk> i.e. \\IP.AD.DR.ES\dell
[17:04] <Lman> get nothing when i enter that
[17:13] <davidk> you replaces IPADDRES with your dell machine's IP address?
[17:14] <holstein> make sure you can ping back and forth
[17:14] <Lman> let me check
[17:15] <Lman> uncommenting the home directory options did nothing
[17:17] <Lman> where would i replace the ipaddress at
[17:17] <Lman> good grief i luv lubuntu but this is a major pain in the ass
[17:17] <davidk> samba sometimes is
[17:17] <holstein> samba always is for me
[17:17] <davidk> I don't like lubuntu, installer still crashes
[17:17] <holstein> i make windows do ssh :)
[17:18] <holstein> Lman: i would make certain you can ping the machines from each other
[17:18] <bioterror> davidk, use mini.iso ;)
[17:18] <bioterror> holstein, windows has crappy sshd implementations
[17:18] <davidk> bioterror: what is that? the codename of the alternate installer?
[17:18] <bioterror> !mini
[17:19] <bioterror> it's like alternate, without outdated packages :D
[17:19] <holstein> i didnt say it was great... just that its easier for me than samba
[17:20] <davidk> bioterror: before I continue, how likely is it lxde behaves the same as kubuntu-KDE4 when I tried yesterday, and crashes after booting?
[17:20] <holstein> http://www.swish-sftp.org/ for example
[17:20] <Lman> should i be using samba4?
[17:20] <Lman> or just samba
[17:21] <bioterror> davidk, hard to say
[17:21] <bioterror> davidk, but after you get into console you do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[17:22] <bioterror> davidk, and I bet you have a lot more latest drivers and packages than with regular installation
[17:22] <davidk> bioterror: it is a really old laptop, OLD drivers are not an issue
[17:22] <killsurfcity> hello! anyone here running 12.04 on a Powerbook 5,6 or the like?
[17:22] <bioterror> davidk, what's old?
[17:22] <davidk> (also it has been running gentoo for serveral years, just not the right distribution for its next owner)
[17:23] <davidk> 1GHz P3-M processor
[17:23] <bioterror> yes, it's old :D
[17:23] <davidk> yes
[17:24] <davidk> and KDE4 crashes quite reliably on it
[17:24] <bioterror> I wonder how you have patience to load KDE4 with that laptop
[17:24] <davidk> takes just 3 or 4 minutes
[17:25] <davidk> big advantage: I don't have to use it
[17:25] <davidk> but really, the slow processor is not so much an issue as you may think, KDE4 is mostly IO-limited on more recent computers
[17:26] <davidk> (and I do not use KDE on my own computers either, my god is this crap slow)
[17:29] <Lman> thanks for everyones help
[17:29] <Lman> i'm gonna just keep plugging away
[17:36] <killsurfcity> My install went fine, but of course, i need firmware for wireless to work. No idea where to get it. Anyone know?
[17:37] <bioterror> sounds like ndiswrapper
[17:37] <bioterror> !ndiswrapper
[17:40] <killsurfcity> thx ubottu, will check that out.
[17:43] <Lman> ugh
[17:44] <Lman> this has to be simpler in regular ubuntu
[17:44] <bioterror> Lman, what you want to do?
[17:44] <Lman> this is a true nightmare in lubuntu,,,,,, i can see the network and browse the network but no one can browse my machine
[17:45] <bioterror> Lman, you want people on your lan to access without user permissions certain folders?
[17:45] <Lman> yea,   the network sees the dell, although when i double click on it   windows says can't find computer or device name
[17:45] <bioterror> okay
[17:46] <bioterror> grab my smb.conf
[17:46] <bioterror> http://ricecows.org/smb.conf
[17:46] <Lman> i can browse it locally through the network though lol
[17:46] <bioterror> change workgroup to yours
[17:46] <bioterror> and at the bottom of the config file, change settings to match your shares
[17:46] <Lman> ok
[17:47] <Lman> i was looking to share my home directory,,, should i just stick to a folder for now?
[17:47] <bioterror> you might on ubuntu uncomment the "force group"
[17:47] <bioterror> you get the picture from the config ;)
[17:47] <Lman> k in a minute, at working fixing windows garbage
[17:48] <bioterror> after you have grabbed that to your /etc/samba/ and edited, sudo service samba restart
[17:48] <bioterror> or was it "sudo restart samba" :D
[17:48] <bioterror> like someone guided me
[17:48] <bioterror> I would still do it from the init.d if it was me! ;D
[17:49] <Lman> i am going to try and share just a folder and not the whole home directory
[17:49] <bioterror> you can share easily your whole home with my config :D
[17:49] <Lman> home has special rules
[17:50] <Lman> which i tried and still didn't work lol
[17:52] <Lman> bioterror anything special to share entire home directory?
[17:53] <holstein> Lman: try the GUI gigolo
[17:53] <holstein> Lman: lubuntu *is* ubuntu
[17:53] <bioterror> well, I just spoon feed him
[17:53] <Lman> lol
[17:53] <Lman> i was using the samba config tool
[17:54] <Lman> is that no good?
[17:55] <holstein> its the same tool as in ubuntu
[17:55] <holstein> Lman: its good if it works for you..
[17:55] <holstein> Lman: i would do what bioterror suggests
[17:55] <holstein> actually, i personally just dont use samba.. but if i wanted to use samba, i would follow bioterror 's guide
[17:57] <Lman> i didn't know how else to do it besides samba
[17:57] <bioterror> samba is best when you play with Windows
[17:58] <bioterror> then comes NFS, which is a lot more complicated
[17:58] <Lman> wow bioterror  you have a lot of network shares
[17:58] <Lman> so get rid of them all except for my share ,,, correct
[17:59] <holstein> i often use the GUI gigolo though... i find it easy and quick
[17:59] <holstein> !info gigolo
[17:59] <bioterror> I just wget my config ;)
[17:59] <bioterror> I have done it once, I dont have to invent wheel again
[18:00] <Lman> right,,,, what the @ names above each share config section
[18:00] <bioterror> tells me which mount point I'm using
[18:01] <Lman> oh ,,,, crap how do i figure that out for me>?
[18:01] <bioterror> just put what you want
[18:02] <Lman> ok
[18:02] <uofm49426> question i only had a rw 650 mb cd so i installed 10.04 and slowly upgrading to 12.04
[18:03] <uofm49426> upgrading to 11.04 can i skip upgrading to 11.10
[18:03] <Lman> if i want the entire home directory browseable to i have to change anything else?
[18:04] <Lman> i see a setting a bit up from the individul settings
[18:04] <bioterror> Lman, you just edit: path = /home/lman/
[18:04] <Lman> for now i'll just try a normal directory
[18:04] <Lman> ok, giving it a shot
[18:05] <Lman> if you browse up to just under the share definitions it does have something specific about the home directory ,,, so i wasn't sure
[18:06] <uofm49426> and upgrade from lts to next lts without upgrading to regular release
[18:06] <Lman> with the force user and force group option  what do i change that too so everyone can browse?
[18:07] <bioterror> Lman, replace sad157 with your username
[18:07] <bioterror> ofkooz
[18:07] <bioterror> uofm49426, I would have used mini.iso for example and installed 12.04 directly from that 10MB iso file ,)
[18:08] <Lman> gotcha figured, wasn't sure if it was asking about my username or theusernames of ones you want to share with
[18:08] <Lman> rebooting and trying,,,, yea i know couldhave did a samba restart
[18:08] <Lman> lol
[18:08] <bioterror> Lman, rebooting?
[18:08] <bioterror> what?
[18:08] <bioterror> sudo service samba restart
[18:08] <bioterror> and it will reload the configs
[18:09] <bioterror> what's wrong with you kids nowdays? always rebooting
[18:09] <Lman> lol
[18:09] <bioterror> you need to reboot only when kernel updates comes
[18:09] <Lman> i'm at work so trying to get done in between
[18:09] <Lman> nope no go
[18:09] <bioterror> what go?
[18:10] <Lman> can't browse machine on the network
[18:10] <Lman> can see and browse everyone elese
[18:10] <Lman> windows says can't find computer or device name
[18:11] <bioterror> lemme see
[18:11] <bioterror> turn on network discovery and file sharing...
[18:12] <Lman> in lubuntu?
[18:12] <bioterror> I'm tweaking my Windows 7
[18:15] <bioterror> seems like I had to: \\computername\
[18:15] <bioterror> why windows cant see these :P
[18:15] <bioterror> and I accessed home directory without a problem
[18:20] <Lman> dfsdfsfdaF
[18:20] <Lman> ugh
[18:21] <Lman> why is it no matter what i name my shjare the network always sees it as some dell-dell name
[18:21] <Lman> then says it can't find it
[18:21] <Lman> yet it appears on the network
[18:21] <Lman> looks the same on my linux box too yet i can access it from there
[22:13] <acalbaza> just got done installing lubuntu under vmware, any way to get screen resolution to play nice?  i keep getting bumped back to 800x600 after restarts
[22:13] <wxl> yes acalbaza ! yes vbox! ;)
[22:14] <wxl> seriosuly i have no such problems. perhaps you should check the guest settings.
[22:14] <acalbaza> actually, i installed on vbox... cant get dual monitors to work properly under a win7 host!
[22:15] <acalbaza> i get dual monitors, but my desktop wont expand
[22:15] <acalbaza> resolution works fine in vbox though ;)
[22:15] <wxl> well ok yeah haven't had that problem either-- no need to XD
[22:16] <acalbaza> ya, my desktop is just replicated on the other mointor
[22:17] <wxl> brb
[22:17] <wxl> there
[22:18] <acalbaza> installing vmware tools again...
[22:19] <wxl> a cursory googling reveals you should remove/install xserver-xorg-video-vmware and reboot acalbaza
[22:21] <AlexGer> Hiya!
[22:24] <AlexGer> i've got some questions about the instalation of lubuntu mininal iso 10.04 running as a PV guest on a XCP1.0 server
[22:25] <wxl> nothing specific AlexGer ? ;)
[22:25] <AlexGer> kindo
[22:25] <AlexGer> :-)
[22:26] <AlexGer> 1st. It only shows the console
[22:27] <AlexGer> i did add the ppa
[22:27] <wxl> Unit193: ;)
[22:28] <Unit193> mini.iso? You'll need to "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" or "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-core"
[22:33] <acalbaza> vmware tools re-install wins
[22:34] <AlexGer> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall -> 10.04 (32 and 64 Bit)
[22:34] <AlexGer> thats what i did
[22:35] <AlexGer>  2.6.32-41-generic-pae
[22:35] <Unit193> And that dumps you into a terminal? No errors though?  If so, type  startlubuntu
[22:36] <AlexGer> It sais Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
[22:36] <AlexGer> mom
[22:37] <AlexGer> nothing
[22:37] <AlexGer> brb
[22:37] <Unit193> You did login first, right?  It'll ask for username then password.
[22:38] <acalbaza> anything better than gnome-do?
[22:40] <Unit193> bioterror: likes dmenu.
[22:42] <wxl> not in the repos tho eh?
[22:43] <Unit193> !info suckless-tools
[22:44] <bioterror> Unit193, ;D
[22:44] <Unit193> bioterror: pianobar has a script for dmenu. :D
[22:44] <wxl> ah
[23:08] <AlexGer> sry
[23:08] <AlexGer> took a bit longer...
[23:08] <AlexGer> mom search with apt cache
[23:15] <AlexGer> ahh stupid w504v router... When i delete a known device (IP+HWaddr) it deletes also non related portforwardings...
[23:25] <davidk> AlexGer: what firmware?
[23:25] <AlexGer> updated it today from 14 to 15
[23:26] <AlexGer> luckyly read about a new firmware fixing a WDS leak -:
[23:27] <AlexGer> I thought my problems might be gone with the fw-upgrade...
[23:27] <davidk> hmm, I thought that might be one of the models capable of alternative firmware, but that was the w503v, not 504
[23:28] <AlexGer> hmm, too bad, thanks!
[23:29] <AlexGer> was looking for some tools earlyer.. :-)
[23:29] <AlexGer> i thought of edeting the bin file...
[23:30] <AlexGer> never done that befoure
[23:30] <AlexGer> -u
[23:30] <davidk> bin file?
[23:30] <AlexGer> config file
[23:31] <AlexGer> exported settings - I think it includes the fw too
[23:32] <davidk> what size is it?
[23:32] <AlexGer> mom
[23:33] <AlexGer> find / -name 'startlubuntu' -> /usr/bin/startlubuntu
[23:33] <davidk> no lubuntu running here
[23:33] <davidk> installer crashed today
[23:34] <davidk> hence I am here
[23:34] <davidk> will try again after sleeping
[23:36] <AlexGer> Firmware_Speedport_W504V_1.15.000.bin -> 3.042kb | Speedport_W_504V1.15.000_25.05.12_1934.bin -> 29kb
[23:37] <AlexGer> i also have the exported settings file from the last fw: Speedport_W_504V1.14.000_21.05.12_2156.bin ->29kb
[23:38] <AlexGer> what about /usr/bin/startx ?
[23:38] <AlexGer> or netbook
[23:39] <AlexGer> wow
[23:40] <AlexGer> Fatal server error:
[23:40] <AlexGer> no screens found
[23:42] <davidk> sounds like it is only settings then ;)
[23:43] <AlexGer> I can paste the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for more infos
[23:43] <davidk> but sounds suspiciously similar to the files the Austrian speedtouch "modems" used that could be patched to be full routers
[23:44] <davidk> do that, after I read it I can tell you its a driver issue and go to sleep
[23:58] <AlexGer> http://pastebin.com/tWXSvLL4
[23:58] <AlexGer> holy
[23:58] <AlexGer> hrhr
[23:58] <AlexGer> well i had to modify grub i think
[23:59] <AlexGer> I'll look what i have done to the kernel...
