[03:42] <Hganavak> Just downloading the ISO for Lubuntu, anyone know if it works with Wubi?
[03:45] <Unit193> Wouldn't say anything really works well with Wubi.
[03:47] <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
[03:48] <Unit193> But I'd guess Lubuntu works as well with it as Ubuntu.
[03:49] <holstein> should.. in theory..
[04:34] <philballew> Unit193, Maybe its just nothing works well with ntfs
[04:37] <Unit193> Try NTFS-3g, it's not so bad.
[05:43] <vltra> hello everyone
[05:43] <Phiscribe> hiya
[05:44] <vltra> ^_^
[05:45] <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)?
[05:46] <Phiscribe> whata ya wont to accomplish at the terminal or just want some basics?
[05:48] <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...
[05:49] <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

[05:51] <vltra> sweet!! This is a good start!!! THANKS!!!!
[05:53] <vltra> have you ever heard of backtrack?
[05:54] <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
[05:57] <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?
[05:59] <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
[06:00] <vltra> good advice
[06:02] <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)
[06:03] <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!!
[06:04] <vltra> Phiscribe, thank you for all your help!
[06:04] <vltra> cheers,
[06:04] <Phiscribe> gl
[17:51] <peto1> hi
[17:52] <peto1> my nick
[17:52] <peto1> ah
[17:52] <peto1> didnt know somebody would be using my nick
[17:52] <peto1> anyway
[17:53] <peto1> my vlc doesn't show  me video, it gave me a problem saying required resolution is different something like that
[17:54] <peto1> any idea?
[19:37] <nutsackker> how long does lubuntu take to install???
[19:37] <bioterror> ~20 mins
[19:37] <nutsackker> im using a 1.8ghz, 512mb ram (2gb swap), and 80hdd
[19:38] <bioterror> gotta write that down to my memos
[19:41] <Phiscribe> i have only black shorts, write that in there too!
[20:14] <SAKKED> how can i see my lubuntu version number?
[20:19] <Unit193> lsb_release -a
[20:19] <kanliot> can you find system profile and benchmark
[20:19] <kanliot> or what unit said SAKKED
[20:21] <SAKKED> aa
[20:21] <SAKKED> ok
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <kanliot> what version u running?
[20:23] <SAKKED> 12.04
[20:23] <kanliot> good
[21:10] <Zachster1996> Hello
[21:11] <Zachster1996> Will installing lubuntu from wubi wipe youre hard drive
[21:12] <Unit193> Not that I know of, but I'd highly recommend you to dualboot rather than try wubi.
[21:13] <Zachster1996> I just want to try it out without using a live cd
[21:14] <Zachster1996> Hello
[21:14] <Zachster1996> Brb
[21:38] <Zachster1996> Does anyone know how to install linksys ae1000 on lubuntu
[21:38] <LordOfTime> is that a wifi dongle or something
[21:39] <Zachster1996> Huh
[21:40] <Zachster1996> Its a wireless adapter
[21:42] <Zachster1996> How do u install ndis wrapper w/out internet
[21:45] <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
[21:47] <Unit193> Either apt-offline, or !offline.
[21:54] <JohnMatt> I have a quick question about the install. The download page refers to 700 MB. Is that RAM or drive space?
[21:57] <Unit193> That's the ISO size for download.  (lagging a bit here, just a sec)
[22:00] <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.
[22:02] <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.
[22:42] <Hganavak> Can someone explain to me the difference between the package installer, package manager, and software center?
[22:44] <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.
[22:46] <Hganavak> They're all under system tools, Gdebi, Synaptic and Software center respectively
[22:50] <Unit193> Ah, gdebi is more for installing deb files, though that's not recommended.
[23:08] <Hganavak> Does Lubuntu not come with any screen clipping tools?
[23:09] <Unit193> Meaning screenshot?  Printscreen takes a pic and puts it in /home/user using scrot cli tool
[23:13] <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.
[23:14] <Unit193> -s, --select              interactively choose a window or rectangle with the mouse
[23:15] <Hganavak> Okay, sorry what's the command? It's not printscreen
[23:16] <Unit193> That should put a screenshot in your /home/user/, but open a terminal and type  scrot --help
[23:17] <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.
[23:38] <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.
[23:39] <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)
[23:41] <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.
[23:44] <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?
[23:45] <Turtle32422> nvm, its saying I should "sudo apt-get xxxx"
[23:47] <Unit193> Well, do they have a support channel?  That's installed by default in newer versions of Lubuntu at least.
[23:48] <Turtle32422> is that > lubuntu 11.10
[23:50] <Turtle32422> i can look more for a support channel, thanks for your time
[23:53] <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"
