| bash | i read that lubuntu is the lightest ubuntu out there so i installed it.. and it is much faster and responsive than ubuntu but im not seeing what it is that im missing out on | 03:01 |
|---|---|---|
| === bash is now known as superuser | ||
| Unit193 | Lubuntu attracts different people than Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a little more flashy, and *may* be a little easier to configure. | 03:02 |
| superuser | well im verry attracted to it seing as since ubuntu 8 my old pc is just unreasonably slow running it and its now obsolete | 03:04 |
| superuser | first i heard about xubuntu and its even clunky on my computer | 03:05 |
| superuser | i have some questions if any one has some answers | 03:06 |
| Unit193 | I may, or someone else here may also. | 03:06 |
| superuser | ok when i go to login it gives me options for the session.. netbook, lxde and lubuntu, whats the diffrences between these? | 03:07 |
| superuser | ive knoticed the netbook option is diffrent | 03:09 |
| Unit193 | Netbook was a trial interface, not sure how well it worked, LXDE and Lubuntu I don't personally remember, but if I'm right, LXDE doesn't have the theme and look of Lubuntu. | 03:09 |
| superuser | so its purely interface? not a diffrence in performance or sofware? | 03:10 |
| Unit193 | Nope. | 03:10 |
| superuser | is lxde the fastest? | 03:10 |
| superuser | im asumeing so because theres no theme | 03:11 |
| Unit193 | Might be a little, but there is still a theme, be it basic. | 03:11 |
| Unit193 | I wouldn't think there'd be enough of one. | 03:11 |
| superuser | unit193: thanks for the help im out | 03:16 |
| Unit193 | Sure, have a nice one. | 03:16 |
| superuser | unit193: yeah you too | 03:16 |
| Mobil | Hi, I installed xbmcbuntu on my machine. Sadly I did something that is making it stop on "Checking for running unattached-upgrades" | 05:18 |
| Mobil | What I did was try to install fglrx drivers, however I ended up with nvidia drivers | 05:19 |
| Mobil | can anyone help me please? I am able to get into lubuntu with no gui | 05:34 |
| Mobil | when I type startx I get no screens found | 05:34 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, what graphic card do you have? | 05:35 |
| Mobil | I have a E-350 APU (has an amd 6300) I believe | 05:36 |
| freedomrun | was lubuntu worked before normally or? | 05:36 |
| Mobil | ya it was working amazingly well, it's very light and fast and works great with xbmc | 05:37 |
| Mobil | Something odd happend though, I tried updating the fglrx drivers and I ended up with nvidia window screen | 05:37 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, did you tried to upgrade fglrx (ati proprietary driver) | 05:37 |
| freedomrun | aah | 05:37 |
| Mobil | because I was trying to solve a playback issue with xbmc | 05:38 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, give me the output of this command from terminal: fglrxinfo | 05:38 |
| Mobil | fglrxinfo: command not found | 05:39 |
| Mobil | ??? | 05:39 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, yes exactly that tells you that your drivers didn`t install | 05:39 |
| Mobil | I'm putty'd into the machine | 05:39 |
| freedomrun | nice | 05:39 |
| freedomrun | sec | 05:40 |
| Mobil | i tried installing the driver - apt-get install fglrx | 05:40 |
| Mobil | it says it's gonna install | 05:40 |
| Mobil | but it doesnt I guess? | 05:40 |
| freedomrun | no wait | 05:40 |
| freedomrun | you have to cleanup the mess 1st | 05:40 |
| Mobil | ok | 05:41 |
| freedomrun | 1st step to try: sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh | 05:41 |
| Mobil | sh: Can't open /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh | 05:41 |
| freedomrun | nice then you need only this: sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* | 05:42 |
| Mobil | After this operation, 82.0 MB disk space will be freed. | 05:42 |
| Mobil | I've seen this before | 05:42 |
| Mobil | I put Y | 05:42 |
| freedomrun | it`s on we need to uninstall old drivers | 05:42 |
| freedomrun | *ok | 05:42 |
| Mobil | look at this : pdate-alternatives: warning: skip creation of /usr/lib32/libvdpau_nvidia.so because associated file /usr/lib32/nvidia-current/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so (of link | 05:42 |
| Mobil | why is it talking about nvidia ? | 05:43 |
| Mobil | I'm gonna pastebin the output | 05:43 |
| freedomrun | I know nvidia is everywhare but don`t worry | 05:44 |
| Mobil | http://pastebin.com/KJ4Rimf7 | 05:45 |
| freedomrun | leave that for now as we need just to give your system the proper drivers then ubuntu will take care of rest | 05:45 |
| Mobil | ok | 05:45 |
| freedomrun | tell me when removal process ends | 05:45 |
| Mobil | it's done | 05:46 |
| freedomrun | ok sec | 05:46 |
| Mobil | I put up the pastebin if you'd like to read it | 05:46 |
| Mobil | just to make sure i'm doing everything right... | 05:46 |
| freedomrun | is your 6300 hd series | 05:46 |
| freedomrun | ? | 05:46 |
| Mobil | yes sir | 05:47 |
| Mobil | well | 05:47 |
| freedomrun | ah sorry I see E-350 APU :) | 05:48 |
| Mobil | yeah it should be 6300 | 05:48 |
| Mobil | I'd like to add that I added this ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-eden | 05:48 |
| Mobil | so I can update xbmc | 05:48 |
| freedomrun | tell me what returns when you type: uname -a | 05:48 |
| Mobil | would that mess up the install ? | 05:48 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, one step after one please | 05:49 |
| Mobil | Linux media-server 3.0.0-21-generic-pae #35-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 25 18:17:24 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux | 05:49 |
| freedomrun | ok thnx | 05:49 |
| freedomrun | we are going to install drivers now | 05:50 |
| Mobil | yes sir | 05:50 |
| freedomrun | in terminal type this: wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run | 05:51 |
| Mobil | 20 seconds | 05:52 |
| freedomrun | np | 05:52 |
| Mobil | ok done | 05:52 |
| freedomrun | now this: chmod +x drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run | 05:53 |
| freedomrun | then: sh ./drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run | 05:53 |
| Mobil | I'm guessing drivers/linux gets replaced by whatever dir file is saved at? | 05:54 |
| freedomrun | just leave defaults | 05:55 |
| Mobil | "chmod: cannot access `drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run': No such file or directory" | 05:55 |
| freedomrun | try it with sudo | 05:56 |
| Mobil | same output | 05:56 |
| Mobil | The file is saved in my home folder | 05:57 |
| freedomrun | yes it should be that way | 05:58 |
| Mobil | ok let me try doing it again | 05:58 |
| freedomrun | ok (you don`t need to download it again) | 05:58 |
| freedomrun | then: sh ./amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run | 05:59 |
| freedomrun | (it was my error) | 05:59 |
| Mobil | I could just do chmod +x amd.... no? | 05:59 |
| freedomrun | yes with chmod +x you make downloaded file executable | 06:00 |
| Mobil | ok so let me try chmod +x amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run | 06:00 |
| freedomrun | and then run it with with sh./ | 06:00 |
| Mobil | ok it's running | 06:00 |
| freedomrun | ;) | 06:00 |
| freedomrun | now after installation it is very important that you run: sudo aticonfig --initial-f (if it complains then just): sudo aticonfig --initial | 06:02 |
| Mobil | ok now blue screen (install driver xxxx or generate Distro specific driver package) ? | 06:02 |
| freedomrun | I think it is better to install | 06:02 |
| freedomrun | but you can try to generate deb packages if you wish | 06:03 |
| freedomrun | it should be same | 06:03 |
| Mobil | So I got the installer complaining that a previous install of fglrx driver has been detected. | 06:03 |
| freedomrun | if you generate deb packages install them with: sudo dpkg -i fglrx* | 06:03 |
| Mobil | and that If I wanted to force an install i have to run --force, but it's not recommanded | 06:04 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, then try it again but this time let it generate deb packages | 06:04 |
| Mobil | ok | 06:04 |
| freedomrun | dpkg will sort thing out for you | 06:04 |
| freedomrun | it will take some time | 06:05 |
| freedomrun | to generate dpkg but be patient | 06:05 |
| Mobil | Where should I put the installation path? | 06:05 |
| freedomrun | in a same dir (home dir) | 06:06 |
| freedomrun | for debs | 06:06 |
| mi3 | hello | 06:06 |
| Mobil | so I should point the install path to /home/userame/? | 06:07 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, I know I'm asking stupid questions, but I really don't want to fubar it :) | 06:07 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, yes /home/user | 06:08 |
| freedomrun | hi mi3 | 06:08 |
| mi3 | hey freedomrun from whom are you running ? lol. | 06:09 |
| freedomrun | mi3, ? | 06:09 |
| === jalcine is now known as Jacky | ||
| mi3 | nothing hehe | 06:09 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, I'm choosing "Build package for detected OS | 06:09 |
| freedomrun | mi3, ah :) | 06:09 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, yes | 06:10 |
| freedomrun | deb for ubuntu | 06:10 |
| Mobil | .... I got a "There was errors during installation. Details can be found in /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log" I nano'd there and I got an empty file | 06:12 |
| freedomrun | mi3, sorry I didn`t get it at 1st .. but hey I can tell you my nich is based on getting away from windows and linux kernel at it`s core is made cuz of freedom (of code, of choice etc..) so .. there it is :) | 06:13 |
| mi3 | freedomrun: LOL! I hate windows ! | 06:13 |
| * mi3 handshakes freedomrun . | 06:13 | |
| freedomrun | Mobil, if you type "ls" at your home dir are there any fglrx*.deb files (it should be 3 of them there) | 06:13 |
| freedomrun | mi3, :) | 06:14 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, no there isnt :( | 06:14 |
| Mobil | should I run this maybe in root? | 06:15 |
| freedomrun | no | 06:15 |
| freedomrun | hmm | 06:15 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, thid you choose that installer generate packages for ubuntu or for detected os? | 06:15 |
| mi3 | freedomrun: can I get a screenshot of your font settings, incase you are using the default fonts ? | 06:16 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, I have 3 options : RedHat Packages, SuSE Packages, Detected OS: Ubuntu/oneiric | 06:16 |
| freedomrun | mi3, yes: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/108057971/Screenshot%20from%202012-06-20%2019%3A23%3A23.png | 06:17 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, chose manualy for ubuntu | 06:17 |
| * freedomrun asks who knows what amd detects hmm | 06:18 | |
| mi3 | freedomrun: the screenshot is not proper, sir. | 06:18 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, I chose the 3rd option, which then complains about some error that it supposedly logged in fglrx-install.log | 06:18 |
| freedomrun | mi3, no? oh try to open attachment at the bottom of bug report here then: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1015712 | 06:18 |

| Mobil | I can go to machine | 06:20 |
| freedomrun | I know | 06:20 |
| freedomrun | it is the same | 06:20 |
| mi3 | freedomrun: that screenshot is not convenient at all, sir, can you give your a your font window's screenshot ? | 06:20 |
| freedomrun | as ssh | 06:20 |
| mi3 | freedomrun: ?? | 06:21 |
| freedomrun | mi3, at that screenshot you can see how my screen renders it I am using default fonts as they came with install as I like them most all others don`t render very well on my screen | 06:22 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, what is your: sudo dkms status | 06:23 |
| mi3 | freedomrun: means you cant take full screenshots ? | 06:23 |

| Mobil | freedomrun, I don't even know man | 06:24 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, how much graphic cards u have there .. ? | 06:25 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, One | 06:25 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, unless...It's not possible lubuntu is picking up my nvidia card from my windows 7 machine through..putty? | 06:26 |
| Mobil | lol wut | 06:26 |
| Mobil | that does not make sense haha | 06:27 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, nah .. do this for the sake of clarity: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current nvidia-settings | 06:27 |
| Mobil | "After this operation, 94.9 MB disk space will be freed."... | 06:28 |
| freedomrun | nice | 06:28 |
| Mobil | I never installed nvidia drivers | 06:28 |
| Mobil | xbmc did | 06:28 |
| Mobil | at least the one I got from this "Trusted source" | 06:29 |
| freedomrun | strange indeed | 06:29 |
| Mobil | ok it's done. | 06:29 |

| freedomrun | Mobil, I see this is not ubuntu 12.04 .. hmm let me check something | 06:30 |
| Mobil | it's 11.10 | 06:30 |
| Mobil | (I think) and it's Lubuntu 11.10 | 06:30 |
| freedomrun | lets try again: sh ./amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run | 06:32 |
| Mobil | ok | 06:32 |
| Mobil | sudo sh? | 06:32 |
| freedomrun | yes | 06:32 |
| Mobil | so Build? | 06:33 |
| Mobil | or just try installing straight first? | 06:33 |
| freedomrun | try to build debs for ubuntu specific | 06:33 |
| Mobil | failed | 06:34 |
| Unit193 | Did he try "Additional Drivers" ? I may have missed that though. | 06:34 |
| Mobil | Unit193, How do you do that from terminal? | 06:35 |
| Unit193 | jockey-text, not as easy, but functional. | 06:36 |
| Mobil | Unit193, Trust me, I'm not..I just got no gui | 06:36 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, did you select packages for ubuntu using space button? | 06:37 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, yes sir, I pressed the down arrow to highlight the 3rd option then pressed space to get the little X | 06:37 |
| freedomrun | hmm | 06:38 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, Unit193 is right | 06:39 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, ? | 06:39 |
| freedomrun | now when you have clean system you can install from repositories | 06:39 |
| freedomrun | just to get you working X on your system | 06:40 |
| Mobil | soo...try sudo apt-get install fglrx? | 06:40 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, before that | 06:40 |
| freedomrun | try this | 06:40 |
| Mobil | Should I just remove xbmc and the funny pcc or ppc that comes along with it? | 06:40 |
| freedomrun | sudo rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:41 |
| freedomrun | that deletes your current X configuration | 06:41 |
| Mobil | ok done | 06:41 |
| freedomrun | try to reboot system | 06:42 |
| freedomrun | maybe you can get opensource drivers to work at least you won`t depend on ssh only | 06:42 |
| Mobil | funny..my samba and sab are working fine lol | 06:42 |
| Mobil | oh holy sh!t | 06:44 |
| Mobil | I got a desktop??? | 06:44 |
| freedomrun | ;) | 06:44 |
| Mobil | what the..we didn't isntall any drivers | 06:44 |
| freedomrun | I`ll have to go but at least for now you have an opensource driver working, maybe someone here wakes up till then... regards Mobil | 06:45 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, thanks a lot man | 06:46 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, np | 06:46 |
| Mobil | freedomrun, Can I try to install the drivers? if I mess up I can just do all what we did and delete xorg? | 06:46 |
| Mobil | haha | 06:46 |
| freedomrun | Mobil, you can but also remove purge all before | 06:46 |

| SAKKED | hi guys | 09:13 |
| SAKKED | how can i manually configure DNS? | 09:13 |
| Unit193 | Yep, but it's a bit different in 12.04. | 09:15 |
| Unit193 | !resolvconf | 09:15 |
| ubottu | resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ | 09:15 |
| SAKKED | i just want to changse DN server =) | 09:17 |
| Unit193 | You can either change it GUI style with the applet on the panel, or using that method. | 09:18 |
| morri | My screeen is playing up again | 09:19 |
| SAKKED | i tried to change DNS with that GUI applet | 09:20 |
| morri | It is setting the screen in the wrong(a horrible) resolutioin and only offers some others even more horrible resolutions, instead of the resolutions it would display normally. | 09:20 |
| morri | also I seem to get 'load detected on head A ' when that happens | 09:20 |
| Unit193 | Did you look through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution ? | 09:21 |
| morri | i got this last time and when I forced it the lubuntu session wouldnt start at all until I had it set in openbox to 1024'768' again(which isnt the right resolution but at least it displayed stuff | 09:22 |
| morri | and then it would display the right options again in monitor settings so I'd just change manually to that one | 09:24 |
| Unit193 | xrandr can show you what you have as options. | 09:25 |
| morri | yea great use to me | 09:26 |

| kanliot | i can only guess | 11:57 |
| morri | ok guess | 11:57 |
| kanliot | was it IBM chipset? | 11:57 |
| morri | for graphics? | 11:58 |
| kanliot | yeah | 11:58 |
| morri | it is nvidia geforce 2 | 11:59 |
| kanliot | so a desktop? | 11:59 |
| kanliot | and a monitor? | 11:59 |
| morri | yes | 11:59 |
| kanliot | were you having trouble installing drviers? | 11:59 |
| morri | i post3ed a link to a forum post just above | 11:59 |

| morri | (or was it 11.04?) | 12:09 |
| morri | also i don't have a nvidia driver(proprietary) as it is too old | 12:10 |
| kanliot | did you try to add 1153*864 to your xorg.conf? | 12:12 |
| kanliot | wait | 12:15 |
| kanliot | can you paste output of xrandr | 12:16 |
| kanliot | and look to see if it lists VGA | 12:16 |
| kanliot | \or something else like VGA1 or CRT | 12:16 |
| morrii | i only have a xorg.conf.failsafe but I havent seen a xorg.conf file - but the xandr lists this Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096 | 12:23 |

| automaciej | hello. I played around with a lubuntu-desktop on a 4GB eeepc. It works cool, I was thinking if there was a way to slim it down, I was left with 180MB of free space on disk. | 12:39 |
| automaciej | The needs are: connect to wifi, fire up a web browser, and play a youtube video with sound. | 12:40 |
| morri | there is a limited install I thino | 12:40 |
| automaciej | everything else is optional. | 12:40 |
| morri | have a look on the lubuntu site for a specific small install | 12:40 |
| automaciej | e.g. if I install lubuntu-desktop when skiping recommends? | 12:40 |
| * automaciej looks at the wiki | 12:41 | |
| mi3 | hmm | 12:42 |
| mi3 | yo guys! | 12:42 |
| morri | are yiou looking for arch support again? | 12:44 |
| mi3 | no | 12:52 |
| Fira | Hey | 13:20 |
| morri | hi | 13:20 |
| Fira | I just installed a Lubuntu on a somewhat old pc | 13:21 |
| Fira | problem is, kernel modesetting won't work, and grub doesn't seem to have an appropriate graphic driver either (i think?) | 13:22 |
| Fira | Xorg works fine though | 13:22 |
| Fira | apparently this thing runs a Nvidia Quadro4, and i'm using nouveau drivers | 13:22 |
| morri | sounds newer than mine .. | 13:22 |
| Fira | is there some special steps to get grub to recognize vga output correctly? | 13:23 |
| morri | how does your grub look like? | 13:23 |
| Fira | well | 13:24 |
| Fira | the thing is | 13:24 |
| Fira | it doesn't look like :p | 13:24 |
| Fira | but depending on the value i set for timeout in the conf, Lubuntu will take longer to boot | 13:24 |
| Fira | so my guess is the video output isn't working | 13:25 |
| morri | only in grub or also at the splsh? | 13:25 |
| Fira | nope, splash works good | 13:25 |
| Fira | xorg too | 13:26 |
| morri | what does the dmesg have to say on that? | 13:26 |
| Fira | but modesetting won't work though, and i get kernel errors about drm not working | 13:26 |
| Fira | oh lol i knew i forgot to check something | 13:26 |
| Fira | [ 130.971116] [drm:drm_crtc_helper_set_config] *ERROR* failed to set mode on [CRTC:6] | 13:30 |
| Fira | [ 130.971122] detected fb_set_par error, error code: -22 | 13:30 |
| Fira | nothing else seems weird | 13:31 |
| Fira | i don't quite get it | 13:31 |
| morri | mayb ask the guys at #grub | 13:31 |
| morri | although that is a bit late for grub 130? | 13:32 |
| Fira | is there a grub log somewhere? | 13:32 |
| morri | don't know - but maybe the #grub peepsknow | 13:33 |
| Fira | well thanks, i'll ask them :p | 13:34 |
| Fira | morri: maybe my grub conf is just wrong. is lubuntu supposed to give you a grub prompt with default settings? | 13:41 |
| morri | well mine does | 13:41 |
| Fira | :| | 13:41 |
| morri | I think there was a short cut for if it doesnt go directly to grub | 13:42 |
| morri | like if you by default don't go to grub, you can still go to grub by using the short cut | 13:42 |
| Fira | oh | 13:44 |
| Fira | so you think grub doesn't actually fire up at all? | 13:44 |
| morri | I had that in ubuntu by default | 13:45 |
| morri | it just skips grub (iot is there but doesnt show it) | 13:45 |
| morri | as to boot faster if you always go on the same default | 13:45 |
| Fira | oh o_O | 13:46 |
| morri | what does your grub lst say? | 13:49 |
| Fira | lst ? isn't the grub.cfg auto-genned by /etc/grub.d ? | 13:53 |
| Fira | & update-grub | 13:53 |
| morri | /etc/default | 13:54 |
| morri | ydea that must have been a ubuntu specific siote.. | 13:54 |
| morri | ok that site is for 5.10 xD | 13:55 |
| Fira | /etc/default/grub ? what part ? | 13:55 |
| morri | hm so yours doesnt say hide or anything like that huh | 13:58 |
| Fira | i poked around with random options, and now i have debian's grub theme splash showing up | 14:00 |
| Fira | but no menu | 14:00 |
| Fira | so yeah, it actually selects the default | 14:00 |

| rhodes | Lubuntu 12.04 network-manager won't start during boot-up, will start with command < sudo NetworkManager> Please help! | 19:31 |
| rhodes | Umm, hello? | 19:35 |
| wxl | rhodes: is this a new install or an upgrade? | 19:35 |
| rhodes | upgrade from 11.10 | 19:36 |
| wxl | has it ever worked? | 19:36 |
| wxl | since you've upgraded? | 19:36 |
| rhodes | yes, but not after upgrade | 19:38 |
| wxl | have you checked /var/log/syslog for NetworkManager entries? | 19:38 |
| wxl | i wonder if it's even trying to load it | 19:39 |
| rhodes | what should i look for? | 19:40 |
| wxl | grep NetworkManager | 19:40 |
| wxl | seems this may be a general canonical problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/151061/after-6-2-12-04-update-need-manual-networkmanager-start | 19:41 |
| rhodes | ok will try. btw, during bootup messages displayed "Awaiting betwork\\ | 19:42 |
| rhodes | disregard last | 19:42 |
| rhodes | will cgo to url. thanx bye | 19:43 |
| wxl | nuttin to see | 19:43 |
| wxl | except that it's not a lubuntu-specific problem | 19:43 |
| wxl | oddly though i don't have this same issue | 19:43 |
| wxl | you on a lenovo laptop? | 19:44 |
| rhodes | eee netbook | 19:44 |
| wxl | i have a 1005ha with 12.04 on it, though it was a new install | 19:45 |
| Italian_Plumber | is there something somewhere that would give the command line apt-get command to switch from regular ubuntu to lubuntu? It sounds like just uninstalling unity and some other software, and installing lxde | 19:46 |
| rhodes | original partition before and during upgrade lvm encrypted | 19:46 |
| wxl | well i'll say this, Italian_Plumber: my experience is that you don't exactly end up with lubuntu. seems like it, but not exactly. | 19:47 |
| wxl | despite that, you need to make sure to kill all the fluff | 19:47 |
| wxl | !purelxde | Italian_Plumber | 19:47 |
| ubottu | Italian_Plumber: 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 » | 19:47 |
| wxl | you will need lubuntu-core at minimum | 19:48 |
| wxl | lubuntu-desktop if you want all the apps | 19:48 |
| Italian_Plumber | ah ok | 19:48 |
| wxl | or --no-recommends lubuntu-desktop for an intermediate | 19:49 |
| wxl | i'd personally suggest just installing lubuntu and migrating your /home over | 19:49 |
| Italian_Plumber | yeah I'm sure that's easier | 19:50 |
| Italian_Plumber | ok well thanks | 19:50 |
| wxl | np | 19:51 |
| rhodes | most of my important stuff is well backed up. perhaps also a clean full install for me also? | 19:52 |
| wxl | rhodes: well i can't guarantee that's a solution | 19:52 |
| wxl | there is a bug report that i'd subscribe to and say it affects you | 19:53 |
| wxl | offer further input | 19:53 |
| wxl | i'd also hunt around #ubuntu and see if they've had a simialr problem | 19:53 |
| wxl | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/663735 | 19:55 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 663735 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "After upgrade to 12.04 NetworkManager does not start automatically on boot" [Medium,Confirmed] | 19:55 |
| rhodes | won't hurt to try new install. I'll be no worse off. be back to let you know, thanks | 19:56 |
| wxl | looks like the bug report is finally getting activity | 19:56 |
| rhodes | on launchpad ? | 19:56 |
| rhodes | Sorry I did not get your bug # before sendin last | 19:57 |
| wxl | np | 19:57 |
| wxl | if you wouldn't mind chiming in and saying you have the same experience with lubuntu that would be great | 19:58 |
| wxl | thanks in advance for making lubuntu better rhodes ;) | 19:58 |
| wxl | it looks to me like they're on the right track to solving this | 19:59 |
| rhodes | ok thanks again | 19:59 |
| putkonen | hello | 21:23 |
| putkonen | anyone knows how to enable flash on lubuntu's chrome? | 21:23 |
| Unit193 | Enable the partner repo, and install adobe-flashplugin | 21:25 |
| Unit193 | !partner | 21:25 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 21:25 |
