[03:42] Just downloading the ISO for Lubuntu, anyone know if it works with Wubi? [03:45] Wouldn't say anything really works well with Wubi. [03:47] Been using Wubi fine for last couple of years Unit193, why do you say that? Assuming I'm content with the overhead [03:47] you can always install ubuntu with wubi and install LXDE [03:47] it should work as wubi works [03:48] But I'd guess Lubuntu works as well with it as Ubuntu. [03:49] should.. in theory.. [04:34] Unit193, Maybe its just nothing works well with ntfs [04:37] Try NTFS-3g, it's not so bad. [05:43] hello everyone [05:43] hiya [05:44] ^_^ [05:45] 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)? [05:46] whata ya wont to accomplish at the terminal or just want some basics? [05:48] 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... [05:49] 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 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] s_l=&pbx=1&fp=3a50ef9c1ec22192&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1920&bih=961 [05:51] sweet!! This is a good start!!! THANKS!!!! [05:53] have you ever heard of backtrack? [05:54] 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 [05:57] 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] the closed flash from adobe, youll have to most likely go to adobe's site and follow the instructins [05:57] are you using lubuntu now? [05:59] i am using ubuntu 12.04 lts [05:59] 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] the backtrack i was using previously was kde edition backtrack r5 [06:00] good advice [06:02] 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) [06:03] ok... i will give it a try! [06:03] wait thats #linuxbeginner not with the s on the end [06:03] ^_^ cool!! [06:04] Phiscribe, thank you for all your help! [06:04] cheers, [06:04] gl === rastamouse is now known as nothingspecial === nothingspecial is now known as rastamouse === rastamouse is now known as nothingspecial [17:51] hi [17:52] my nick [17:52] ah [17:52] didnt know somebody would be using my nick [17:52] anyway [17:53] my vlc doesn't show me video, it gave me a problem saying required resolution is different something like that [17:54] any idea? [19:37] how long does lubuntu take to install??? [19:37] ~20 mins [19:37] im using a 1.8ghz, 512mb ram (2gb swap), and 80hdd [19:38] gotta write that down to my memos [19:41] i have only black shorts, write that in there too! [20:14] how can i see my lubuntu version number? [20:19] lsb_release -a [20:19] can you find system profile and benchmark [20:19] or what unit said SAKKED [20:21] aa [20:21] ok [20:22] found that system profiler and benchmark [20:22] says ubuntu 12.04 [20:22] strange [20:22] i thought it would say Lubuntu [20:22] but it says Ubuntu X-D [20:22] yeah that's normal [20:23] what version u running? [20:23] 12.04 [20:23] good [21:10] Hello [21:11] Will installing lubuntu from wubi wipe youre hard drive [21:12] Not that I know of, but I'd highly recommend you to dualboot rather than try wubi. [21:13] I just want to try it out without using a live cd [21:14] Hello [21:14] Brb [21:38] Does anyone know how to install linksys ae1000 on lubuntu [21:38] is that a wifi dongle or something [21:39] Huh [21:40] Its a wireless adapter [21:42] How do u install ndis wrapper w/out internet [21:45] 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 [21:47] Either apt-offline, or !offline. [21:54] I have a quick question about the install. The download page refers to 700 MB. Is that RAM or drive space? [21:57] That's the ISO size for download. (lagging a bit here, just a sec) [22:00] 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] Yes, the alternate can do with less ram than desktop CDs. [22:02] Ok. So the "less RAM" reference has nothing to do with 700 MB. [22:02] Exactly. [22:02] Got it. Thanks very much. === LordOfTime is now known as TheLordOfTime [22:42] Can someone explain to me the difference between the package installer, package manager, and software center? [22:44] 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. [22:46] They're all under system tools, Gdebi, Synaptic and Software center respectively [22:50] Ah, gdebi is more for installing deb files, though that's not recommended. [23:08] Does Lubuntu not come with any screen clipping tools? [23:09] Meaning screenshot? Printscreen takes a pic and puts it in /home/user using scrot cli tool [23:13] 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] There is one, just no GUI for this current one. [23:14] -s, --select interactively choose a window or rectangle with the mouse [23:15] Okay, sorry what's the command? It's not printscreen [23:16] That should put a screenshot in your /home/user/, but open a terminal and type scrot --help [23:17] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/scrot [23:17] That too. [23:17] Sweet cheers [23:17] If you'd rather use a GUI, you can install one of the many other tools that have one as well. [23:38] 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. [23:39] 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) [23:41] "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. [23:44] 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] do i need to run this as root? [23:45] nvm, its saying I should "sudo apt-get xxxx" [23:47] Well, do they have a support channel? That's installed by default in newer versions of Lubuntu at least. [23:48] is that > lubuntu 11.10 [23:50] i can look more for a support channel, thanks for your time [23:53] 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"
