[00:14] anyone here familiar with setting up a wireless account in lxde? I had a big prob last night and ended up reinstalling today. Now I've don't most of the work for my stupid broadcom card but need some help with a couple last things. [00:15] so I found the network connections in the lxde menus but when I click "Add" the window that comes up is not active for some reason. [00:31] Hello [00:33] I have installed libdvdread4 *-dbg *-dev libdvdnav *-dbg *-dev ans still can't play a DVD in VLC. What else do I need to watch a movie? [00:42] Too late [00:42] They already answer me in the UBUNTU channel [00:42] go figure... [03:03] I'm running Lubuntu in a virtualbox VM on windows [03:04] I can't get sound to work. I have uninstalled pulse audio. Still doesn't work. I did not enable third party software. I'm trying to use intel HDA.

Loving the speed and leanness. [07:14] does anyone know how to enable 3 button emulation on Lubuntu? [07:14] I've always edited the xorg.conf file but notice this file doesn't exist [07:19] !xorg.conf [07:19] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[16:56] however, pigin crashes === taoseeker is now known as silverarrow [16:57] youtube is a mess [16:57] it doesn`t stream tv [16:57] ..yet [17:01] and no sound [17:01] or alsamixer [17:06] hey, where are you guys@ [17:07] ? [17:07] I like the quietness of ppc [17:09] hi [17:10] does anyone know if there is alsamixer in 12.04? [17:14] silverarrow: yep [17:14] hi [17:14] how do I launch it [17:14] terminal: alsamixer [17:15] doesn`t work [17:15] it's installed in this package http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/alsa-utils [17:15] you should apt-cache policy alsa-utils and make sure you have the current version [17:15] there is alsamixer in lubuntu powerpc ? [17:15] should be no reason why not but i don't have a ppc in front of me to check [17:19] hello lubuntu 12.04 is lts version? [17:20] no [17:20] grifo74: ^ [17:20] 18 month support [17:21] yes, it is latest version? [17:22] lubuntu don't have lts version??? [17:22] well no, latest version is in alpha 12.10 [17:22] thanks [17:22] that's not lts either mind you [17:23] afaik the only "real" lts is 10.04 [17:23] well, latest official then [17:23] the current is 12.04 [17:27] i think 18 month is very good [17:28] who is the minima hardware requiriments? [17:28] so no help with my sound issues and no alsa? [17:28] hmm [17:28] silverarrow: i don't know. did you check for alsa-utils? which version you have? [17:28] sigh [17:28] (did say that) [17:30] grifo74: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/#System_Requirements [17:30] space needed is prety small-- a few g [17:30] depending on the type of install [17:31] 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? [17:32] well you can probably get the old one going, whereas nothing else will work [17:33] but the 64b one will probably be more enjoyable to use on a daily basis ;) [17:34] thanks the downloads 32 and 64 begin 10 minutes and try ;) [17:34] I personally would go with PAE, not enough more ram to make it worthwhile, but wxl should know more on that subject. [17:35] 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] i guess in the end my answer was "both" ;) [17:35] Hah, somehow I missed that part. :P [17:36] ;) [17:38] where is alsamixer hidden in lubuntu for powerpc? [17:39] In the terminal, type alsamixer. [17:39] silverarrow: [17:39] FIND OUT WHAT VERSION OF alsa-utils YOU HAVE [17:39] sorry, I lost connection a few minutes ago [17:39] * wxl considers colored/blinking text next [17:40] all I keep finding is the same command for launching though [17:42] for that matter, what happens when you type alsamixer? i know you say it doesn't load, but what does it return? [17:46] "no such file or directory", which leads me to think there is no alsa [17:47] though I can `t figure out what`s in stead [17:47] 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] and did you check what version if any of alsa-utils you have? [17:47] you can do that in synaptic [17:47] or do: [17:47] apt-cache policy alsa-utils [17:55] 1.0.25 lubuntu5 [17:56] The ppc version isn't that much different, is it? [17:58] I can`t even mange copy and paste [17:59] no right click for the mouse, no key commands [17:59] well that can be a ppc problem [17:59] but if you have alsa utils you have alsamixer [18:00] try whereis alsamixer or locate alsamixer [18:00] how do I do a screenshot with out screen shot key? [18:01] 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 [18:02] I need a break, I`ve been at this for hours now [18:03] I've added #lubuntu and #lubuntu-offtopic to this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [18:04] Are there any dev channels that need adding [18:04] Nope, that's all there is, but offtopic is used for devel too. [18:05] okay thanks Unit193 [18:08] figured out the copy and paste thing [18:09] in snow leopard and newer macs, you can right click? [18:10] this was originally lion, but had leopard [18:34] bye :) [18:54] bioterror? [18:56] hi SkippersBoss [18:57] hi how i ad a software to autostart [18:57] teste: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_into_Desktop [18:59] if I have restricted lubuntu packages, do I have the gecko plugin setup by defalut then? [18:59] for firefox I mean === Exio4 is now known as Lyoko === Lyoko is now known as Exio4 [19:45] any idea about how to get sound in lubuntu powerpc [19:45] there doesn`t seem to be any alsamixer [20:53] my ibook install is suddenly not looking so good [20:53] neither alsamixer, java or flash player works, but they are installed [20:54] packages are there [20:54] is it powerpc issues, or something else [20:56] we need more apple guys to venture into linux and ubuntu [20:58] os x is good, but open source is fun and can be very handy [21:33] hi [21:52] there are load of old ibooks out there, in good condition, it would be great to make them adaptable for lubuntu [21:52] more up to date, and easier to work with when thing are running smootly [21:54] lubuntu is really nice like that, makes old laptops run like new ones [21:55] hi krasus [22:33] hi [22:33] again [22:33] anyone here? [22:34] !patience | silverarrow [22:34] silverarrow: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [22:34] silverarrow: just ask and wait [22:35] I have trouble with alsamixer and java, they just don`t run. I have 12.04 powerpc build on iBook G4 [22:37] all packages are there, [22:38] I have installed both restricted packages in package manager [22:43] silverarrow: java is contentious on ppc. recommend using ibm java https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [22:44] contentious? [22:44] controversial [22:44] oh i see [22:44] I thought it was basic [22:45] so installing a few extra packages, or removing old? [22:45] ibm java is not easy to come by [22:45] read the instructions and have fun [22:46] long story short: the world could care less about powerpc, get used to it :( [22:47] thanks [22:47] bookmarked [22:48] yeah, I know, there are no money in discontinued hard ware [22:49] yeah there's plenty of things that support powerpc, but usually not from the big money makers like java and flash [22:51] though a lot of well built ibooks in need of something better than lion [22:51] lubuntu is much more flexible than lion [22:52] though a bit hard to find support for the apple hardware [22:54] I made a new savefile in 528 the other day, but could not make the update work? [23:03] however, I am sticking with lubuntu for the ibook install [23:04] I need a full HD install, and preferably not lion or leopard [23:10] my main focus is sound and alsamixer problem [23:10] alsamixer will not open in terminal [23:10] the package is there [23:11] I cannot find any bug or issu related to the powerpc iso build [23:11] did you try doing a whereis or locate? [23:13] yes, I did === bodhizazen is now known as bodhi_zazen [23:13] I was given a terminal command and it turns up, bin-something [23:13] silverarrow: that means you have it [23:14] what exactly should I write in terminal? [23:14] what is the exact path? /usr/bin/alsamixer ?? [23:14] yes, but still it will not launch [23:14] did you try writing exactly /usr/bin/alsamixer [23:14] yes [23:15] if that's there [23:15] doesn`t launch then either [23:15] but what does it say? [23:15] there's very few things you can do that will result in-- nothing. [23:15] cannot open mixer, no such file or directory [23:16] well it's not called mixer [23:16] it's called alsamixer [23:16] /usr/bin/alsamixer [23:16] still the answer is only mixer [23:17] dpkg -L alsa-utils |grep bin [23:17] I type alsamixer [23:17] don't type alsamixer [23:17] type this, exactly, on one line, and hit enter: [23:17] /usr/bin/alsamixer [23:18] where is the line befor grep on mac keyboard?@ [23:18] the answere is the same [23:19] how do you do screen shot in lubuntu?

[23:23] http://pastebin.com/jDx6k9P9 [23:23] here with the alsamixer command [23:24] I have googled, read wikis, no idea really [23:28] wxl, so no idea for an explanation or further investigation [23:28] !patience |silverarrow [23:28] silverarrow: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.
