| davidk | you are running X on a framebuffer? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| davidk | if not the log basically says "driver not found" and you should install an appropriate graphics driver for whatever your hardware is. | 00:01 |
| davidk | if you are sure that is NOT the case I have another idea | 00:02 |
| davidk | but fixing your kernel would be the proper way to do it | 00:02 |
| davidk | good night, and good luck with that | 00:03 |

| TheWonderingGuru | Hello everyone, quick question. What do I do to switch my clock in lubuntu 11.10 from 24 hour time to normal time? | 00:13 |
| wxl | TheWonderingGuru: replace %H with %I | 00:14 |
| wxl | add %p at the end if you want AM/PM | 00:15 |
| davidk | AlexGer: http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=297969 | 00:15 |
| TheWonderingGuru | It only gave me the hour when I switched from %R to %I. I would like it to show up as for example 8:15pm | 00:15 |
| wxl | then you want %I:%M%p | 00:16 |
| AlexGer | this guy has ha way for ubuntu, but it isn't working at all -> | 00:16 |
| AlexGer | http://www.jansipke.nl/installing-xenserver-tools-on-ubuntu-10-04/ | 00:16 |
| wxl | don't there there's lowercase am/pm | 00:16 |
| TheWonderingGuru | You are sincerely badass, thank you so much! | 00:16 |
| wxl | np | 00:16 |
| TheWonderingGuru | That has been annoying me for sooo long | 00:17 |
| TheWonderingGuru | lol | 00:17 |
| wxl | i read the "man date" ;0 | 00:17 |
| davidk | TheWonderingGuru: 24 hours IS normal :P | 00:17 |
| wxl | i was going to say that davidk but i didn't XD | 00:17 |
| TheWonderingGuru | Normal if I was still in college, but it annoys the crap out of me. | 00:17 |
| TheWonderingGuru | lol | 00:17 |
| TheWonderingGuru | Like I know the times, but my mind automatically has to do a little math. | 00:17 |
| TheWonderingGuru | When I am in a rush doing 10 other things at once, I want to know what time it is at a glance. | 00:18 |
| davidk | TheWonderingGuru: over here we only use 24h digital clocks. it is now 02:18 | 00:18 |
| wxl | i used to have a binary clock set up | 00:18 |
| wxl | now that's doing math | 00:18 |
| TheWonderingGuru | Intriguing. | 00:18 |
| TheWonderingGuru | Binary clock | 00:18 |
| TheWonderingGuru | how would that work like its 010010101 o clock or something? | 00:18 |
| wxl | http://binary.onlineclock.net/ | 00:18 |
| davidk | wxl: it would be, but last I checked the "binary clock" only did decimal digits in binary, not the whole time | 00:18 |
| TheWonderingGuru | Now that is strange lol | 00:19 |
| TheWonderingGuru | Cool though! | 00:19 |
| davidk | wxl: better than the stuff I've seen for sale | 00:19 |
| TheWonderingGuru | I've been a distro hopper for awhile now and I am finding more and more that I am recommending Lubuntu for people seeking to make the switch to Linux. | 00:20 |
| wxl | ditto | 00:20 |
| wxl | i've pretty much gone and called it home | 00:20 |
| TheWonderingGuru | The fastest distro out there in my opinion, the only one that semi keeps up without much style is puppy linux or a custom built arch linux with lxde. | 00:20 |
| wxl | tho i did inadvertently get a friend hooked on bodhi ;) | 00:20 |
| wxl | puppy = barf | 00:21 |
| wxl | arch is the only other one i really like | 00:21 |
| davidk | yesterday I installed kubuntu for the first time | 00:21 |
| davidk | KDE crashed | 00:21 |
| TheWonderingGuru | I would love to give arch a real go, but I don't know the ins and outs of it like I do with debian based distros. | 00:21 |
| Unit193 | Needed low? AntiX? SliTaz? | 00:21 |
| wxl | hahahahah | 00:21 |
| davidk | today I wanted to install lubuntu | 00:21 |
| davidk | installer crashed | 00:21 |
| davidk | this whole *ubuntu is not working for me so far :P | 00:22 |
| Unit193 | Though, if this isn't support I suppose #lubuntu-offtopic would be better. | 00:22 |
| TheWonderingGuru | I did have an issue with the lubuntu installer once, scared the crap out of me. Which version did you try? | 00:22 |
| wxl | installer crashed? that's strange. how did you install, which version, etc.? | 00:22 |
| davidk | TheWonderingGuru: today the normal one, tomorrow the alternate one | 00:22 |
| TheWonderingGuru | 12.04? | 00:22 |
| wxl | iso to cd davidk ? | 00:22 |
| davidk | wxl: yes | 00:22 |
| wxl | assumedly you checked the md5? | 00:23 |
| davidk | wxl: no, but that is not the issue, works way too long | 00:23 |
| davidk | I'll check for you | 00:23 |
| wxl | what computer? | 00:23 |
| TheWonderingGuru | Honestly, with all ubuntu based distro releases, you want to give it a good 3-4 months for them to work out all of the issues. Im using version 11.10 and honestly its rock solid stable with absolutely no issues. | 00:24 |
| TheWonderingGuru | I would go with 11.10 if I were you. | 00:24 |
| TheWonderingGuru | double the honesty double the fun | 00:24 |
| wxl | checking release notes no obvious installer issues | 00:25 |
| TheWonderingGuru | sometimes I don't look at my sentences before I press enter lol. | 00:25 |
| davidk | wxl: md5 is ok | 00:25 |
| wxl | what did the crash report say? | 00:25 |
| davidk | wxl: Dell Latitude C510/C610 | 00:25 |
| davidk | wxl: there is no report, X just crashes after finishing the copy process | 00:26 |
| TheWonderingGuru | Signing off, namaste everyone | 00:26 |
| wxl | Dell Studio XPS 1340,Alienware m17x has some problem on boot but assumedly that's unrelated | 00:26 |
| wxl | ta TheDrums | 00:26 |
| wxl | up | 00:26 |
| wxl | oh well | 00:26 |
| davidk | wxl: i386 version, REALLY old hardware | 00:26 |
| wxl | hm. there's plenty of people using 12.04 on old hardware | 00:26 |
| davidk | wait, I'll get the dmesg line from the log | 00:26 |
| wxl | heck, even the ppc guys are doing ok | 00:26 |
| wxl | that's a good idea | 00:26 |
| davidk | posted it here | 00:27 |
| davidk | about 8 hours ago | 00:27 |
| davidk | "init: lightdm main process (8546) terminated with status 1" | 00:27 |
| wxl | so it's a process with starting lightdm | 00:28 |
| wxl | interesting | 00:28 |
| davidk | reproducable, tried it twice | 00:28 |
| AlexGer | lol can't apt get... | 00:30 |
| davidk | and now I'm off to bed. 2:30 is late enough. good night everyone. | 00:31 |

| Guest73135 | I'm insalling via usb and it seems to be stalled at 50%....do I cancell? | 03:34 |
| Guest73135 | Anyone? | 03:35 |
| Guest73135 | hello? | 03:39 |
| Guest73135 | dammit, do I shut down and rety or not? | 03:42 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Guest73135, What is the screen saying? | 03:42 |
| Unit193 | How long have you waited? | 03:42 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Is that stuck up with a certain package or is it just showing 50 % ? | 03:42 |
| Guest73135 | 50% loaded and waiting for the past 20 mins | 03:43 |
| Guest73135 | No hard drive light activity\ | 03:43 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Are you dual booting? | 03:43 |
| Guest73135 | Yes | 03:44 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | 20 mins is way too much. Just try a reboot, do a checksum first and then proceed with the install from live USB | 03:44 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | brb. Showers | 03:45 |
| jmarsden | You could use Alt-F1 to Alt-F4 first to see if any consoles have useful error messages in them, before rebooting. | 03:45 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Unit193, the table is all yours :) | 03:45 |
| Unit193 | CTRL+alt+F1 - CTRL+alt+F4, and if you do reboot, there should be an option to check install media. | 03:46 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | jmarsden, I believe there might be a missing driver or something. Or else it will throw an error outside (AFAIK) | 03:46 |
| jmarsden | Yes, it really isn | 03:46 |
| jmarsden | 't supposed to hang like that... but you never know, there might be some useful info there in one of the text mode consoles... waiting isn't going to do anything useful, so after checking the consoles, a reboot seems a good idea. | 03:47 |

| xisorshadow | anyone alive over here? i need some help | 06:29 |
| Unit193 | !ask | 06:29 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 06:29 |
| xisorshadow | lol | 06:29 |
| Unit193 | Though, it is 230am :P | 06:29 |
| xisorshadow | how do i change the default environment from lxde, to xbmc? | 06:29 |
| xisorshadow | im on xbmcbuntu, which is built on lubuntu | 06:30 |
| xisorshadow | or at least make it so xbmc launches at startup automatically | 06:30 |
| xisorshadow | either way is perfectly fine | 06:30 |
| Unit193 | Never seen xbmcbuntu, but are you looking for the "Session" section of the llogin screen? | 06:32 |
| xisorshadow | im not sure, i want it to automatically run xbmc session when it boots instead of lxde | 06:33 |
| xisorshadow | its a choice on the login screen, but how do i make it DEFAULT? | 06:33 |
| Unit193 | What version of Ubuntu? | 06:33 |
| xisorshadow | 11. something | 06:33 |
| xisorshadow | 11.10 i think | 06:33 |
| xisorshadow | never used linux before XD | 06:34 |
| xisorshadow | xbmcbuntu is lubuntu with xbmc built in, its for using as a media center | 06:34 |
| valdur55 | login screen remembers last choise | 06:34 |
| Unit193 | So you should have LXDM? /etc/lxdm/ and there should be a config file in there. | 06:34 |
| xisorshadow | valdur55: really? will it also remember my password and auto log me in? | 06:34 |

| Unit193 | Upgrade from 11.10 even went well. | 09:03 |
| AmberJ_ | I won't be able to upgrade on this machine with slowish ~60kbps down throughput connection... | 09:04 |

| theixle | I'm experiencing issues with tail command in lubuntu 12.04. I'm not sure it's related to lubuntu necessarily but I only am noticing it on this machine currently. | 15:13 |
| theixle | Can anyone suggest any good ways of determing what the problem could be? It seems really odd to have such a standard and prolific utility not work. Basically it's not updating regardless of using -F or -f | 15:14 |
| theixle | xtail works (just slowly without the -s option), and less -F works, but I need to display a file with ANSI color codes | 15:15 |
| diego | have you checked if there are open bugs? | 15:28 |
| theixle | I can't find anything reported. | 15:28 |
| theixle | Almost everyone's issues on the forums were from people having their file changed and not using -F | 15:28 |
| fw190 | hello | 16:14 |
| fw190 | I've got a question/problem | 16:15 |
| LordOfTime | so ask? | 16:15 |
| LordOfTime | !ask | 16:15 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 16:15 |
| fw190 | I would like to install Lubuntu, but I have already installed Ubuntu and now I want to wipe the ubuntu and have only clean lubuntu when I paritioned my disk for ubuntu i made swap / and /home. Is there a clean way to wipe ubuntu, save my data and install lubuntu | 16:16 |
| EliahKagan | fw190: yes, you can do that -- just back up all your documents and important files to another drive (or cloud storage or email or another machine or something), then when run you run the Lubuntu installer, tell it to use the whole disk (not to "install alongside") | 16:19 |
| fw190 | ah so this is the hard way | 16:20 |
| LordOfTime | fw190: you could just install lubuntu-desktop and uninstall ubuntu-desktop | 16:20 |
| EliahKagan | however, you probably do not need to do that, since there is a technique for converting a regular Ubuntu system into a Lubuntu system (without the other stuff): first install the package called lubuntu-desktop, then do this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelubuntu | 16:20 |
| LordOfTime | ah yeah that'd work | 16:20 |
| EliahKagan | LordOfTime: well, uninstalling ubuntu-desktop doesn't always do the trick, because there are a lot of other packages installed with Ubuntu and unless you installed Ubuntu by manually installing ubuntu-desktop (and haven't subsequently installed other software manually that pulls in any of it as dependencies), they may not be marked as automatically installed (so they wouldn't be removed with apt-get autoremove) | 16:21 |
| LordOfTime | EliahKagan: if you use purge it will, in 75% of times. | 16:22 |
| fw190 | so now I'm confused- two opinions ;) | 16:22 |
| fw190 | to sum up. I install lubuntu-desktop | 16:22 |
| LordOfTime | fw190: use EliahKagan's recommendation | 16:23 |
| LordOfTime | not mine | 16:23 |
| fw190 | and then do the thingie from the link provided | 16:23 |
| fw190 | and this will lead me to a celan lubuntu | 16:23 |
| fw190 | or other programs installed wil stay? | 16:23 |
| fw190 | I'm preparing an image on pendrive would it be possible to install it like I did with ubuntu - I remenber that there was an option to overwrite ubuntu with ubuntu. Is ther an option to overwrite ubuntu with lubuntu? | 16:28 |
| LordOfTime | overwrite may overwrite the important stuff | 16:28 |
| LordOfTime | i'd back up your /home stuff before messing with what is or isnt on the system anyways | 16:28 |
| LordOfTime | just because | 16:28 |
| fw190 | ok. it seems to me that I will end up wiht backing up 250GB of data anyway. Tahnk you for helping and answers given. All the best | 16:30 |
| LordOfTime | well i recommend backups anyways regardless | 16:30 |
| LordOfTime | because that's what technicians do | 16:30 |
| LordOfTime | heck, i make weekly backups of my home directories :P | 16:30 |
| EliahKagan | LordOfTime: using purge or --purge never changes what packages get removed by an autoremove; the only difference between remove and purge is that purge removes systemwide configuration files | 16:30 |
| EliahKagan | i think you may have just gotten lucky and had everything you wanted gone marked as installed automatically as dependencies of the metapackage you removed | 16:31 |
| EliahKagan | backups are good | 16:31 |
| LordOfTime | EliahKagan: aptitude seems to do that well :P | 16:31 |
| * LordOfTime uses aptitude almost exclusively | 16:31 | |
| LordOfTime | having said this, 95% of the time im' in CLI regardless of DE, so... :P | 16:31 |
| EliahKagan | that's a good point...i use apt-get most of the time | 16:31 |
| LordOfTime | yeah, for installing apt-get's pretty decent | 16:32 |
| LordOfTime | some reason i like aptitude though *shrugs* | 16:32 |
| pcroque | If I upgrade 11.10 to 12.04 will files in ~/.config get overwritten (autostart, lubuntu-rc.xml, etc)? | 17:28 |
| Unit193 | Shouldn't, but always good to backup. | 17:30 |
| LordOfTime | ^ that | 17:31 |
| pcroque | Thanks. Yes...I'll backup the backup! | 17:31 |
| pcroque | I'm looking forward to a smooth and painless upgrade...not that that ever happened for me with Ubuntu...but hoping Lubuntu is different. | 17:34 |
| Unit193 | Same core, just with LXDE and different default programs and settings. It did go well for me though. | 17:36 |
| pcroque | Good to hear it. Lubuntu is the greatest! | 17:38 |
| tata | I have Lubuntu 10.04, how can I watch tv live on internet? | 17:49 |
| smile4linux | Of course! :) | 17:49 |
| smile4linux | with flash? :p | 17:49 |
| smile4linux | :) | 17:49 |
| tata | ??? | 17:50 |
| smile4linux | tata: find a website with online tv & you will able to play it with adobe flash player :) | 17:50 |
| tata | its not work, told me, I need to instal something like video stream or something like this | 17:52 |
| holstein | tata: if it has a proprietary player that is not made to work with linux, it wont work | 17:53 |
| holstein | its likely just flash though, as smile4linux suggests... i would try installing the chrome browser, and go from there... https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ | 17:54 |
| smile4linux | chromium or firefox, tata ? :p | 17:55 |
| holstein | i suggest chrome as a troubleshooting step since it has the most current version of flash available for linux AFAIK | 17:55 |
| tata | sea monkey 2.0., it is mozilla | 17:56 |
| Unit193 | Also, I've been recommending to purge flashplugin-installer, adding !partner repo, and installing adobe-flashplugin. | 17:56 |
| holstein | Unit193: good idea! | 17:57 |
| smile4linux | tata: maybe that's the cause of your problem (your browser) | 17:57 |
| tata | maybe | 17:58 |
| tata | I delete chromium two years ago and install seamonkey | 17:59 |
| holstein | tata: chromiumm wont have current flash | 18:00 |
| holstein | tata: to get current flash, you can try chrome, or do what Unit193 suggests | 18:01 |
| holstein | tata: it is *not* the browser anyways... its the flash version | 18:01 |
| holstein | if flash is involved, and something is funky, its flash that is the issue | 18:01 |
| EliahKagan | Chrome and Chromium are different -- Chrome is proprietary and has Adobe Flash built in, and it generally is the latest version | 18:02 |
| tata | ok i will | 18:02 |
| holstein | im not suggesting you switch to the chrome browser tata , im just saying that *if* you install it for testing puproses, and your TV works, then its safe to assume its flash | 18:03 |
