| Hganavak | Just downloading the ISO for Lubuntu, anyone know if it works with Wubi? | 03:42 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Wouldn't say anything really works well with Wubi. | 03:45 |
| Hganavak | Been using Wubi fine for last couple of years Unit193, why do you say that? Assuming I'm content with the overhead | 03:47 |
| holstein | you can always install ubuntu with wubi and install LXDE | 03:47 |
| holstein | it should work as wubi works | 03:47 |
| Unit193 | But I'd guess Lubuntu works as well with it as Ubuntu. | 03:48 |
| holstein | should.. in theory.. | 03:49 |
| philballew | Unit193, Maybe its just nothing works well with ntfs | 04:34 |
| Unit193 | Try NTFS-3g, it's not so bad. | 04:37 |
| vltra | hello everyone | 05:43 |
| Phiscribe | hiya | 05:43 |
| vltra | ^_^ | 05:44 |
| vltra | could anyone point me in the right direction? I am new to ubuntu and i would like to learn how to use the "terminal". Any ideas as to where i can find resources (besides doing a google search)? | 05:45 |
| Phiscribe | whata ya wont to accomplish at the terminal or just want some basics? | 05:46 |
| vltra | I would like to be able to manage my settings, install & remove programs... disable guest account... and eventually learn about how to create my own drivers for e.g. printers... | 05:48 |
| Phiscribe | well i know what you said, but i think some google fu is needed, making DRIVERS for printers? yikes, ill say the man command is your friend, you type man <program> like man ls or man apt to see the help manual for that program, gack to google.... https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ie=UTF-8#hl=en&safe=off&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=linux%20command%20line%20guide&oq=&g | 05:49 |

| vltra | sweet!! This is a good start!!! THANKS!!!! | 05:51 |
| vltra | have you ever heard of backtrack? | 05:53 |
| vltra | i tried using it... as the newbie I am ... and I failed miserably... i didn't even know how to install flash through the terminal | 05:54 |
| Phiscribe | eh well, backtrack is a whole distro, like ubuntu, its goal is to be a penetration testing platoform (security) as for installing flash thru the terminal, i suppose you could, but which version? the offical one that is closed, or some of the gui replacements? i just use the gui isntaller like synamptic packatge manager to search for stuff, though i can use apt-get just fine, if you go with | 05:57 |
| Phiscribe | the closed flash from adobe, youll have to most likely go to adobe's site and follow the instructins | 05:57 |
| Phiscribe | are you using lubuntu now? | 05:57 |
| vltra | i am using ubuntu 12.04 lts | 05:59 |
| Phiscribe | if you got zero command line experience, (terminal) well its gonna be a learning curve, sometimes using the gui along side can be helpful | 05:59 |
| vltra | the backtrack i was using previously was kde edition backtrack r5 | 05:59 |
| vltra | good advice | 06:00 |
| Phiscribe | ah well this channel is for lubuntu 12.04, (though basicaly it is ubuntu with lxde) but maybe the channel #linuxbeginners would be a good place for you, (though its not heavily populated) | 06:02 |
| vltra | ok... i will give it a try! | 06:03 |
| Phiscribe | wait thats #linuxbeginner not with the s on the end | 06:03 |
| vltra | ^_^ cool!! | 06:03 |
| vltra | Phiscribe, thank you for all your help! | 06:04 |
| vltra | cheers, | 06:04 |

| bioterror | ~20 mins | 19:37 |
| nutsackker | im using a 1.8ghz, 512mb ram (2gb swap), and 80hdd | 19:37 |
| bioterror | gotta write that down to my memos | 19:38 |
| Phiscribe | i have only black shorts, write that in there too! | 19:41 |
| SAKKED | how can i see my lubuntu version number? | 20:14 |
| Unit193 | lsb_release -a | 20:19 |
| kanliot | can you find system profile and benchmark | 20:19 |
| kanliot | or what unit said SAKKED | 20:19 |
| SAKKED | aa | 20:21 |
| SAKKED | ok | 20:21 |
| SAKKED | found that system profiler and benchmark | 20:22 |
| SAKKED | says ubuntu 12.04 | 20:22 |
| SAKKED | strange | 20:22 |
| SAKKED | i thought it would say Lubuntu | 20:22 |
| SAKKED | but it says Ubuntu X-D | 20:22 |
| kanliot | yeah that's normal | 20:22 |
| kanliot | what version u running? | 20:23 |

| kanliot | good | 20:23 |
| Zachster1996 | Hello | 21:10 |
| Zachster1996 | Will installing lubuntu from wubi wipe youre hard drive | 21:11 |
| Unit193 | Not that I know of, but I'd highly recommend you to dualboot rather than try wubi. | 21:12 |
| Zachster1996 | I just want to try it out without using a live cd | 21:13 |
| Zachster1996 | Hello | 21:14 |
| Zachster1996 | Brb | 21:14 |
| Zachster1996 | Does anyone know how to install linksys ae1000 on lubuntu | 21:38 |
| LordOfTime | is that a wifi dongle or something | 21:38 |
| Zachster1996 | Huh | 21:39 |
| Zachster1996 | Its a wireless adapter | 21:40 |
| Zachster1996 | How do u install ndis wrapper w/out internet | 21:42 |
| kanliot | it's a pain, but if you know linux a little bit, you can download the package and install it manually with a usb key | 21:45 |
| Unit193 | Either apt-offline, or !offline. | 21:47 |
| JohnMatt | I have a quick question about the install. The download page refers to 700 MB. Is that RAM or drive space? | 21:54 |
| Unit193 | That's the ISO size for download. (lagging a bit here, just a sec) | 21:57 |
| JohnMatt | Understood. The line ends with, "... try the alternate installer to install on computers with less RAM." That's the part that confused me. | 22:00 |
| Unit193 | Yes, the alternate can do with less ram than desktop CDs. | 22:00 |
| JohnMatt | Ok. So the "less RAM" reference has nothing to do with 700 MB. | 22:02 |
| Unit193 | Exactly. | 22:02 |
| JohnMatt | Got it. Thanks very much. | 22:02 |

| Hganavak | Can someone explain to me the difference between the package installer, package manager, and software center? | 22:42 |
| Unit193 | Where do you see the menu items? Installer/manager kind of sound like "Update manager" and synaptic, while Software Center is just the pretty UI for installing stuff. | 22:44 |
| Hganavak | They're all under system tools, Gdebi, Synaptic and Software center respectively | 22:46 |
| Unit193 | Ah, gdebi is more for installing deb files, though that's not recommended. | 22:50 |
| Hganavak | Does Lubuntu not come with any screen clipping tools? | 23:08 |
| Unit193 | Meaning screenshot? Printscreen takes a pic and puts it in /home/user using scrot cli tool | 23:09 |
| Hganavak | Basically, but as in you select the desired region of your screen Unit193; not just a picture of the entire screen - every distro I've used has come pre-installed with one | 23:13 |
| Unit193 | There is one, just no GUI for this current one. | 23:13 |
| Unit193 | -s, --select interactively choose a window or rectangle with the mouse | 23:14 |
| Hganavak | Okay, sorry what's the command? It's not printscreen | 23:15 |
| Unit193 | That should put a screenshot in your /home/user/, but open a terminal and type scrot --help | 23:16 |
| Unit193 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/scrot | 23:17 |
| Unit193 | That too. | 23:17 |
| Hganavak | Sweet cheers | 23:17 |
| Unit193 | If you'd rather use a GUI, you can install one of the many other tools that have one as well. | 23:17 |
| Turtle32422 | Sorry for probably very simple question, I'm new to lubuntu using the xbmc OS, how can I change the default settings that turn off the monitor and/or computer after X inactivity. | 23:38 |
| Turtle32422 | If that was unclear, my laptop is shutting down after just a few minutes of inactivity, I'm not sure if its directly a setting or if the monitor turns off and as a result the computer shuts down (the only display is the HDMI out) | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | "Lubuntu using the XBMC OS"? And there should be the xfce4-power-manager installed to configure that, you can open a terminal and paste xfce4-power-manager-settings to directly open it. | 23:41 |
| Turtle32422 | I guess technically "XBMCbuntu" : http://xbmc.org/about/ Its basically media player software, one of the distributions includes lubuntu as the OS for a home theater PC. I appreciate the help, new to *nix | 23:44 |
| Turtle32422 | do i need to run this as root? | 23:44 |
| Turtle32422 | nvm, its saying I should "sudo apt-get xxxx" | 23:45 |
| Unit193 | Well, do they have a support channel? That's installed by default in newer versions of Lubuntu at least. | 23:47 |
| Turtle32422 | is that > lubuntu 11.10 | 23:48 |
| Turtle32422 | i can look more for a support channel, thanks for your time | 23:50 |
| Turtle32422 | yeah I guess that wasn't the power manager, it said it wasn't running and gave me the error "gtk-warning **:unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap" | 23:53 |
