| silverarrow | and no sound | 17:01 |
| silverarrow | or alsamixer | 17:01 |
| silverarrow | hey, where are you guys@ | 17:06 |
| silverarrow | ? | 17:07 |
| silverarrow | I like the quietness of ppc | 17:07 |
| silverarrow | hi | 17:09 |
| silverarrow | does anyone know if there is alsamixer in 12.04? | 17:10 |
| wxl | silverarrow: yep | 17:14 |
| silverarrow | hi | 17:14 |
| silverarrow | how do I launch it | 17:14 |
| wxl | terminal: alsamixer | 17:14 |
| silverarrow | doesn`t work | 17:15 |
| wxl | it's installed in this package http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/alsa-utils | 17:15 |
| wxl | you should apt-cache policy alsa-utils and make sure you have the current version | 17:15 |
| silverarrow | there is alsamixer in lubuntu powerpc ? | 17:15 |
| wxl | should be no reason why not but i don't have a ppc in front of me to check | 17:15 |
| grifo74 | hello lubuntu 12.04 is lts version? | 17:19 |
| wxl | no | 17:20 |
| wxl | grifo74: ^ | 17:20 |
| wxl | 18 month support | 17:20 |
| silverarrow | yes, it is latest version? | 17:21 |
| grifo74 | lubuntu don't have lts version??? | 17:22 |
| wxl | well no, latest version is in alpha 12.10 | 17:22 |
| grifo74 | thanks | 17:22 |
| wxl | that's not lts either mind you | 17:22 |
| wxl | afaik the only "real" lts is 10.04 | 17:23 |
| silverarrow | well, latest official then | 17:23 |
| wxl | the current is 12.04 | 17:23 |
| grifo74 | i think 18 month is very good | 17:27 |
| grifo74 | who is the minima hardware requiriments? | 17:28 |
| silverarrow | so no help with my sound issues and no alsa? | 17:28 |
| silverarrow | hmm | 17:28 |
| wxl | silverarrow: i don't know. did you check for alsa-utils? which version you have? | 17:28 |
| silverarrow | sigh | 17:28 |
| wxl | (did say that) | 17:28 |
| wxl | grifo74: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/#System_Requirements | 17:30 |
| wxl | space needed is prety small-- a few g | 17:30 |
| wxl | depending on the type of install | 17:30 |
| grifo74 | very nice i have a hold machine, a new opinion , i have a i new machine 64 bits with 4Gb ram you recomend 64bits version or kernel pae? | 17:31 |
| wxl | well you can probably get the old one going, whereas nothing else will work | 17:32 |
| wxl | but the 64b one will probably be more enjoyable to use on a daily basis ;) | 17:33 |
| grifo74 | thanks the downloads 32 and 64 begin 10 minutes and try ;) | 17:34 |
| Unit193 | I personally would go with PAE, not enough more ram to make it worthwhile, but wxl should know more on that subject. | 17:34 |
| wxl | Unit193: i think grifo74 was referring to the fact that he's got two machines and which one he should bother putting lubuntu on. | 17:35 |
| wxl | i guess in the end my answer was "both" ;) | 17:35 |
| Unit193 | Hah, somehow I missed that part. :P | 17:35 |
| grifo74 | ;) | 17:36 |
| silverarrow | where is alsamixer hidden in lubuntu for powerpc? | 17:38 |
| Unit193 | In the terminal, type alsamixer. | 17:39 |
| wxl | silverarrow: | 17:39 |
| wxl | FIND OUT WHAT VERSION OF alsa-utils YOU HAVE | 17:39 |
| silverarrow | sorry, I lost connection a few minutes ago | 17:39 |
| * wxl considers colored/blinking text next | 17:39 | |
| silverarrow | all I keep finding is the same command for launching though | 17:40 |
| wxl | for that matter, what happens when you type alsamixer? i know you say it doesn't load, but what does it return? | 17:42 |
| silverarrow | "no such file or directory", which leads me to think there is no alsa | 17:46 |
| silverarrow | though I can `t figure out what`s in stead | 17:47 |
| wxl | so does it give you a list of other possible packages? that's usually what ubuntu does if there's a command not found | 17:47 |
| wxl | and did you check what version if any of alsa-utils you have? | 17:47 |
| wxl | you can do that in synaptic | 17:47 |
| wxl | or do: | 17:47 |
| wxl | apt-cache policy alsa-utils | 17:47 |
| silverarrow | 1.0.25 lubuntu5 | 17:55 |
| Unit193 | The ppc version isn't that much different, is it? | 17:56 |
| silverarrow | I can`t even mange copy and paste | 17:58 |
| silverarrow | no right click for the mouse, no key commands | 17:59 |
| wxl | well that can be a ppc problem | 17:59 |
| wxl | but if you have alsa utils you have alsamixer | 17:59 |
| wxl | try whereis alsamixer or locate alsamixer | 18:00 |
| silverarrow | how do I do a screenshot with out screen shot key? | 18:00 |
| wxl | scrot -- look at the man page for different ways you can manage it, either by clicking on a window, or setting a delay or whatever your preference is | 18:01 |
| silverarrow | I need a break, I`ve been at this for hours now | 18:02 |
| nothingspecial | I've added #lubuntu and #lubuntu-offtopic to this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 18:03 |
| nothingspecial | Are there any dev channels that need adding | 18:04 |
| Unit193 | Nope, that's all there is, but offtopic is used for devel too. | 18:04 |
| nothingspecial | okay thanks Unit193 | 18:05 |
| silverarrow | figured out the copy and paste thing | 18:08 |
| silverarrow | in snow leopard and newer macs, you can right click? | 18:09 |

| silverarrow | any idea about how to get sound in lubuntu powerpc | 19:45 |
| silverarrow | there doesn`t seem to be any alsamixer | 19:45 |
| silverarrow | my ibook install is suddenly not looking so good | 20:53 |
| silverarrow | neither alsamixer, java or flash player works, but they are installed | 20:53 |
| silverarrow | packages are there | 20:54 |
| silverarrow | is it powerpc issues, or something else | 20:54 |
| silverarrow | we need more apple guys to venture into linux and ubuntu | 20:56 |
| silverarrow | os x is good, but open source is fun and can be very handy | 20:58 |
| silverarrow | hi | 21:33 |
| silverarrow | there are load of old ibooks out there, in good condition, it would be great to make them adaptable for lubuntu | 21:52 |
| silverarrow | more up to date, and easier to work with when thing are running smootly | 21:52 |
| silverarrow | lubuntu is really nice like that, makes old laptops run like new ones | 21:54 |
| silverarrow | hi krasus | 21:55 |
| silverarrow | hi | 22:33 |
| silverarrow | again | 22:33 |
| silverarrow | anyone here? | 22:33 |

| TheLordOfTime | silverarrow: just ask and wait | 22:34 |
| silverarrow | I have trouble with alsamixer and java, they just don`t run. I have 12.04 powerpc build on iBook G4 | 22:35 |
| silverarrow | all packages are there, | 22:37 |
| silverarrow | I have installed both restricted packages in package manager | 22:38 |
| wxl | silverarrow: java is contentious on ppc. recommend using ibm java https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 22:43 |
| silverarrow | contentious? | 22:44 |
| wxl | controversial | 22:44 |
| silverarrow | oh i see | 22:44 |
| silverarrow | I thought it was basic | 22:44 |
| silverarrow | so installing a few extra packages, or removing old? | 22:45 |
| wxl | ibm java is not easy to come by | 22:45 |
| wxl | read the instructions and have fun | 22:45 |
| wxl | long story short: the world could care less about powerpc, get used to it :( | 22:46 |
| silverarrow | thanks | 22:47 |
| silverarrow | bookmarked | 22:47 |
| silverarrow | yeah, I know, there are no money in discontinued hard ware | 22:48 |
| wxl | yeah there's plenty of things that support powerpc, but usually not from the big money makers like java and flash | 22:49 |
| silverarrow | though a lot of well built ibooks in need of something better than lion | 22:51 |
| silverarrow | lubuntu is much more flexible than lion | 22:51 |
| silverarrow | though a bit hard to find support for the apple hardware | 22:52 |
| silverarrow | I made a new savefile in 528 the other day, but could not make the update work? | 22:54 |
| silverarrow | however, I am sticking with lubuntu for the ibook install | 23:03 |
| silverarrow | I need a full HD install, and preferably not lion or leopard | 23:04 |
| silverarrow | my main focus is sound and alsamixer problem | 23:10 |
| silverarrow | alsamixer will not open in terminal | 23:10 |
| silverarrow | the package is there | 23:10 |
| silverarrow | I cannot find any bug or issu related to the powerpc iso build | 23:11 |
| wxl | did you try doing a whereis or locate? | 23:11 |
| silverarrow | yes, I did | 23:13 |

| wxl | what is the exact path? /usr/bin/alsamixer ?? | 23:14 |
| silverarrow | yes, but still it will not launch | 23:14 |
| wxl | did you try writing exactly /usr/bin/alsamixer | 23:14 |
| silverarrow | yes | 23:14 |
| wxl | if that's there | 23:15 |
| silverarrow | doesn`t launch then either | 23:15 |
| wxl | but what does it say? | 23:15 |
| wxl | there's very few things you can do that will result in-- nothing. | 23:15 |
| silverarrow | cannot open mixer, no such file or directory | 23:15 |
| wxl | well it's not called mixer | 23:16 |
| wxl | it's called alsamixer | 23:16 |
| wxl | /usr/bin/alsamixer | 23:16 |
| silverarrow | still the answer is only mixer | 23:16 |
| Unit193 | dpkg -L alsa-utils |grep bin | 23:17 |
| silverarrow | I type alsamixer | 23:17 |
| wxl | don't type alsamixer | 23:17 |
| wxl | type this, exactly, on one line, and hit enter: | 23:17 |
| wxl | /usr/bin/alsamixer | 23:17 |

| silverarrow | but it has persisted | 23:46 |
| silverarrow | ¤¤¤444 | 23:53 |
| wxl | cat /proc/asound/cards | 23:56 |
| wxl | NOT | 23:56 |
| wxl | cat/proc/asound/cards | 23:56 |
| wxl | but looking at aplay -l you have no sound devices | 23:57 |
| wxl | problem isn't alsamixer | 23:57 |
| wxl | it's your sound setup | 23:57 |
| silverarrow | no such file or directory | 23:58 |
| wxl | you have no sound cards configured then | 23:59 |
