[00:14] <ClientAlive> 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] <ClientAlive> 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] <Osmodivs> Hello
[00:33] <Osmodivs> 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] <Osmodivs> Too late
[00:42] <Osmodivs> They already answer me in the UBUNTU channel
[00:42] <Osmodivs> go figure...
[03:03] <LibertyTrader> I'm running Lubuntu in a virtualbox VM on windows
[03:04] <LibertyTrader> 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.
[03:05] <LibertyTrader> When I run VLC or gstreamer nothing happens
[07:05] <Gitch> Hi all
[07:06] <Gitch> Long time Ubuntu user here, very recent convert to lubuntu. Loving the speed and leanness.
[07:14] <Gitch> does anyone know how to enable 3 button emulation on Lubuntu?
[07:14] <Gitch> I've always edited the xorg.conf file but notice this file doesn't exist
[07:19] <Unit193> !xorg.conf
[07:19] <Unit193> I don't know off hand, no.
[10:07] <nothingspecial> Any reason why this channel is not on this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList
[10:12] <AlanBell> nothingspecial: no good reason, it is on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/Scope
[10:12] <AlanBell> nothingspecial: do you want to fix it?
[10:12] <nothingspecial> yeah, I will
[10:12] <AlanBell> thanks
[10:19] <nothingspecial> done
[10:19] <AlanBell> yay
[10:19] <nothingspecial> :)

[16:55] <taoseeker> I`m on the ibook, it runs, wireless is activated...
[16:56] <taoseeker> however, pigin crashes
[16:57] <silverarrow> youtube is a mess
[16:57] <silverarrow> it doesn`t stream tv
[16:57] <silverarrow> ..yet
[17:01] <silverarrow> and no sound
[17:01] <silverarrow> or alsamixer
[17:06] <silverarrow> hey, where are you guys@
[17:07] <silverarrow> ?
[17:07] <silverarrow> I like the quietness of ppc
[17:09] <silverarrow> hi
[17:10] <silverarrow> does anyone know if there is alsamixer in 12.04?
[17:14] <wxl> silverarrow: yep
[17:14] <silverarrow> hi
[17:14] <silverarrow> how do I launch it
[17:14] <wxl> terminal: alsamixer
[17:15] <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
[17:19] <grifo74> hello lubuntu 12.04 is lts version?
[17:20] <wxl> no
[17:20] <wxl> grifo74: ^
[17:20] <wxl> 18 month support
[17:21] <silverarrow> yes, it is latest version?
[17:22] <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
[17:23] <wxl> afaik the only "real" lts is 10.04
[17:23] <silverarrow> well, latest official then
[17:23] <wxl> the current is 12.04
[17:27] <grifo74> i think 18 month is very good
[17:28] <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)
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <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?
[17:32] <wxl> well you can probably get the old one going, whereas nothing else will work
[17:33] <wxl> but the 64b one will probably be more enjoyable to use on a daily basis ;)
[17:34] <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.
[17:35] <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
[17:36] <grifo74> ;)
[17:38] <silverarrow> where is alsamixer hidden in lubuntu for powerpc?
[17:39] <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
[17:40] <silverarrow> all I keep finding is the same command for launching though
[17:42] <wxl> for that matter, what happens when you type alsamixer? i know you say it doesn't load, but what does it return?
[17:46] <silverarrow> "no such file or directory", which leads me to think there is no alsa
[17:47] <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
[17:55] <silverarrow> 1.0.25 lubuntu5
[17:56] <Unit193> The ppc version isn't that much different, is it?
[17:58] <silverarrow> I can`t even mange copy and paste
[17:59] <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
[18:00] <wxl> try whereis alsamixer or locate alsamixer
[18:00] <silverarrow> how do I do a screenshot with out screen shot key?
[18:01] <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
[18:02] <silverarrow> I need a break, I`ve been at this for hours now
[18:03] <nothingspecial> I've added #lubuntu and #lubuntu-offtopic to this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList
[18:04] <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.
[18:05] <nothingspecial> okay thanks Unit193
[18:08] <silverarrow> figured out the copy and paste thing
[18:09] <silverarrow> in snow leopard and newer macs, you can right click?
[18:10] <silverarrow> this was originally lion, but had leopard
[18:34] <smile> bye :)
[18:54] <silverarrow> bioterror?
[18:56] <silverarrow> hi SkippersBoss
[18:57] <teste> hi how i ad a software to autostart
[18:57] <Unit193> teste: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_into_Desktop
[18:59] <silverarrow> if I have restricted lubuntu packages, do I have the gecko plugin setup by defalut then?
[18:59] <silverarrow> for firefox I mean
[19:45] <silverarrow> any idea about how to get sound in lubuntu powerpc
[19:45] <silverarrow> there doesn`t seem to be any alsamixer
[20:53] <silverarrow> my ibook install is suddenly not looking so good
[20:53] <silverarrow> neither alsamixer, java or flash player works, but they are installed
[20:54] <silverarrow> packages are there
[20:54] <silverarrow> is it powerpc issues, or something else
[20:56] <silverarrow> we need more apple guys to venture into linux and ubuntu
[20:58] <silverarrow> os x is good, but open source is fun and can be very handy
[21:33] <silverarrow> hi
[21:52] <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
[21:54] <silverarrow> lubuntu is really nice like that, makes old laptops run like new ones
[21:55] <silverarrow> hi krasus
[22:33] <silverarrow> hi
[22:33] <silverarrow> again
[22:33] <silverarrow> anyone here?
[22:34] <TheLordOfTime> !patience | silverarrow
[22:34] <TheLordOfTime> silverarrow:  just ask and wait
[22:35] <silverarrow> I have trouble with alsamixer and java, they just don`t run. I have 12.04 powerpc build on iBook G4
[22:37] <silverarrow> all packages are there,
[22:38] <silverarrow> I have installed both restricted packages in package manager
[22:43] <wxl> silverarrow: java is contentious on ppc. recommend using ibm java https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[22:44] <silverarrow> contentious?
[22:44] <wxl> controversial
[22:44] <silverarrow> oh i see
[22:44] <silverarrow> I thought it was basic
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <wxl> long story short: the world could care less about powerpc, get used to it :(
[22:47] <silverarrow> thanks
[22:47] <silverarrow> bookmarked
[22:48] <silverarrow> yeah, I know, there are no money in discontinued hard ware
[22:49] <wxl> yeah there's plenty of things that support powerpc, but usually not from the big money makers like java and flash
[22:51] <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
[22:52] <silverarrow> though a bit hard to find support for the apple hardware
[22:54] <silverarrow> I made a new savefile in 528 the other day, but could not make the update work?
[23:03] <silverarrow> however, I am sticking with lubuntu for the ibook install
[23:04] <silverarrow> I need a full HD install, and preferably not lion or leopard
[23:10] <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
[23:11] <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?
[23:13] <silverarrow> yes, I did
[23:13] <silverarrow> I was given a terminal command and it turns up, bin-something
[23:13] <wxl> silverarrow: that means you have it
[23:14] <silverarrow> what exactly should I write in terminal?
[23:14] <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
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <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
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <silverarrow> where is the line befor grep on mac keyboard?@
[23:18] <silverarrow> the answere is the same
[23:19] <silverarrow> how do you do screen shot in lubuntu?
[23:20] <silverarrow> http://pastebin.com/HkLQWWDZ
[23:21] <silverarrow> does it make any sense?
[23:23] <silverarrow> http://pastebin.com/jDx6k9P9
[23:23] <silverarrow> here with the alsamixer command
[23:24] <silverarrow> I have googled, read wikis, no idea really
[23:28] <silverarrow> wxl, so no idea for an explanation or further investigation
[23:28] <wxl> !patience |silverarrow
[23:31] <wxl> pastebin the output of:
[23:31] <wxl> $ cat /proc/asound/cards
[23:31] <wxl> $ aplay -l
[23:31] <wxl> $ lsmod | grep snd
[23:33] <silverarrow> do I have to type in the dollar sign?
[23:33] <wxl> no
[23:33] <wxl> that indicates a prompt
[23:33] <silverarrow> good
[23:34] <silverarrow> http://pastebin.com/fNNWmmz5
[23:42] <silverarrow> can you make any sense of this ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Why_do_I_have_no_sound.3F
[23:45] <silverarrow> initially I was told updates would fix it
[23:46] <silverarrow> but it has persisted
[23:53] <silverarrow> ¤¤¤444
[23:56] <wxl> cat /proc/asound/cards
[23:56] <wxl> NOT
[23:56] <wxl> cat/proc/asound/cards
[23:57] <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
[23:58] <silverarrow> no such file or directory
[23:59] <wxl> you have no sound cards configured then
[23:59] <silverarrow> hmm
[23:59] <silverarrow> what to do ?
