| Error404NotFound | any good audio recording tools that i can use to debug if the issue is in my linux audio drivers or skype? | 05:21 |
|---|---|---|
| bioterror | I've been using audacity for my needs | 05:38 |
| Error404NotFound | ok, got audacity installed. I am gonna try different models in modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf before getting back here. I am running lubuntu on m17x and the mic is killing me, there is so much background noise. and i hate to say it but it works in windows so must be drivers. | 05:48 |
| Error404NotFound | back to editing alsa-base.conf | 05:48 |

| speckmade | hey there. | 08:24 |
| speckmade | I wonder what the recommended/prefered way is to create Samba shares?.. | 08:24 |
| thor_ | I can see that chromium 20 is on lubuntu 12.10. Cant we get it on lubuntu 12.04 | 08:26 |
| speckmade | have you checked launchpad for a PPA already? | 08:32 |
| thor_ | speckmade: yes its only chromium 18 | 08:34 |
| speckmade | I was able to find a satisfying answer to my question myself. | 08:47 |
| thor_ | speckmade: did you find anything on chromium 20 | 08:48 |
| speckmade | For anyone interested: install package "system-config-samba". Then you find "Samba" in the start menu to set up shared folders. | 08:49 |
| speckmade | nope. | 08:49 |
| thor_ | speckmade: ok thanks | 08:50 |
| speckmade | I just see that they distribute v18 everywhere. Even the dev versions and the nightlies are v18. | 08:50 |
| speckmade | I don't know the reason for that. | 08:50 |
| suikhei | hello. I installed lubuntu 12.04 on my machine, and the performance is absolutely appaling. I think you might have to change the minimum system requirements. | 11:12 |
| suikhei | is there a way of making lubuntu perform better on my machine? | 11:12 |
| suikhei | so that it is at least on par with winxp | 11:13 |
| suikhei | e.g. it is constantly swapping to disk instead of throwing away buffers/cache | 11:15 |
| suikhei | so I never have more than 4MB usable free memory | 11:15 |
| suikhei | the configuration of my machine is Pentium III 900MHz and 256MB RAM | 11:18 |
| suikhei | so it should be well above the minimum system requirements | 11:22 |
| sb1980 | since the latest package upgrades, i experience big problems with skype and adobe flashplugin .does anyone has the same problems? | 11:39 |
| suikhei | also, whose stupid idea was to allow guest account by default? not even windows is that idiotic | 12:38 |
| holstein | ? ... the guest account is handy, that session cleans its self each time | 12:41 |
| holstein | you could let someone "borrow" your machine, like a family member, and they can do very little damage as long as they dont know your password | 12:41 |
| holstein | i think if "guest" were a traditional user, it would be odd | 12:41 |
| holstein | suikhei: 256 of ram is rather low spec, but lubuntu should be a good option on there | 12:42 |
| holstein | have you tried something that loads into ram like puppy linux? | 12:43 |
| holstein | i might take a look at the graphics hardware and/or driver that is being used | 12:43 |
| head_victim | I love the guest account, made it so easy to set up the work lunchroom pc. All I did was install it and made sure the IT support and I ahve the user password, everyone else uses guest. | 12:43 |
| head_victim | No fiddling with user groups, etc, just works. | 12:43 |
| DarkSim | Hello :) | 12:56 |
| suikhei | puppy linux seems to be much heavier than lubuntu, and has less support | 12:59 |
| suikhei | DSL is out of support | 12:59 |
| suikhei | slitaz has strange package system | 12:59 |
| holstein | suikhei: im only suggesting that you look at a distro that load into memory like that.. you can force any kernel to do that AFAIK | 13:00 |
| suikhei | hmm, how would I do that? | 13:00 |
| holstein | DarkSim: there is also a lubuntu-desktop meta-pacakge | 13:00 |
| holstein | package* | 13:00 |
| DarkSim | lol you scared me | 13:01 |
| holstein | suikhei: i suggested looking at puppy to emulate its workflow.. i have not done it myself... i find lubuntu to work fine, even with 256 of ram | 13:01 |
| DarkSim | I'm looking for a lightweight windows-esque DE which is stable | 13:01 |
| holstein | which is why i think you might have a driver support issue | 13:01 |
| DarkSim | I liked Cinnamon but it froze the comp to unusableness | 13:02 |
| holstein | DarkSim: i dont use windows, but xfce and lxde are both well supported and stable.. you can always try the actual xubuntu or lubuntu discs live to get a feel for the desktops | 13:02 |
| DarkSim | in a webbrowser like Ubuntu or a live-cd? | 13:03 |
| holstein | DarkSim: i was implying live cd when i suggested trying them live | 13:03 |
| DarkSim | Ah | 13:03 |
| DarkSim | Gonna try Xfce now, installation just done | 13:04 |
| holstein | DarkSim: xubuntu-desktop* | 13:04 |

| viju | hi | 15:13 |
| viju | I pressed ctrl+f1 and used my login and password but it says incorrect login , why so? | 15:14 |
| zleap | caps on perhaps | 15:14 |
| holstein | viju: you can mistype the username there, or you can have caps lock on, or have the wrong pass... | 15:14 |
| holstein | viju: open a terminal in the GUI and try from there | 15:14 |
| holstein | make sure you can run something like "sudo -s" | 15:15 |
| viju | ok , I've just logged in , miraculously | 15:15 |
| viju | there seems to be some kind of bug | 15:15 |
| viju | let me confirm | 15:15 |
| viju | ok, when I try with number pad it doesn't let me in | 15:16 |
| viju | but only with regular numbers | 15:16 |
| zleap | you need num lock on for the numbers on the pad to work properly | 15:17 |
| viju | its already on | 15:17 |
| viju | 6556+ | 15:17 |
| zleap | ok | 15:17 |
| viju | yes | 15:17 |
| viju | and one more thing | 15:18 |
| viju | I am experiencing graphics problem | 15:19 |
| holstein | i would try forcing the vesa driver... i would consider alternate drivers, proprietary ones, if applicable | 15:19 |
| viju | how can I do that? | 15:20 |
| holstein | viju: i typically try from the live CD before installing.. i use the shift key to see the install menu, and i use F6 and "nomodeset" or whatever other options there make the live environment work for me properly | 15:21 |
| holstein | then, i look at how to make those persistent in the install, assumimg the results are what im expecting | 15:22 |
| viju | so it's not possible now? | 15:23 |
| holstein | its all open, so everything is possible.. if it were me, id just try the live CD since that wouldnt "break" anything | 15:25 |
| holstein | you can also make a custom xorg.conf setting vesa as the driver option... sometimes i use a knoppix live CD, or puppy live CD to creat a nice xorg.conf file for the machine in question | 15:26 |

| Quaker | Greetings. I've got a NETGEAR N600 (model number WNDA3100 v2) USB network adapter. I'm unsure if this device is compatible with any Ubuntu variants, and am wondering if I could have some help getting Wireless to work on the LiveCD before I actually install it. | 20:06 |
| Quaker | If anybody were to assist me, I'd be grateful. :) | 20:07 |
| Unit193 | If I{m reading right, it{s the Broadcom BCM4323 chipset, | 20:09 |
| Unit193 | !bcm | 20:09 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 20:09 |
| Quaker | It isn't PCI. | 20:09 |
| kanliot | quaker, just to state the obvious, but download the livecd and test it out, before you read the wiki. 12.04 works with a lot of hardware automatically | 20:10 |
| Quaker | I have the LiveCD up and running on my PC as we speak. | 20:10 |
| Quaker | On a laptop currently. | 20:10 |
| Unit193 | Additional Drivers may pull it, but who knows. | 20:11 |
| Quaker | It's a USB network adapter. | 20:11 |
| Quaker | Results from lusb return.. | 20:11 |

| Quaker | Yep. That's the adapter. | 20:12 |
| Unit193 | If you have a network cable (cat5), best to try Additional Drivers. | 20:14 |
| Quaker | Ack.. are you sure there's no other method? | 20:14 |
| Quaker | My router is downstairs. | 20:15 |
| Quaker | And dragging this damned thing all the way down isn't ideal. | 20:15 |
| Unit193 | Ah, then that shouldn{t be the only way. | 20:15 |
| Quaker | Knew I should've bought a PCI wireless adapter. | 20:16 |
| Quaker | Apparently, there's no native drivers for it. | 20:18 |
| Quaker | So I'm just shit out of luck? :\ | 20:19 |
| Unit193 | !ndiswrapper | 20:21 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 20:21 |
| Unit193 | Looks to be the only option? | 20:21 |
| Quaker | WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper? | 20:22 |
| Quaker | FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. | 20:28 |
| Quaker | Okay, so.. apparently, ndiswrapper's module isn't installed. | 20:32 |
| Quaker | Anybody got any ideas here? I'm using the latest LiveCD release. | 20:35 |
| Unit193 | Well, if we don't, you could try your luck in #ubuntu. | 20:35 |
| Quaker | Wonderful... | 20:35 |

| silverarrow | does anyone know the difference between mint and ubuntu? | 23:02 |
| bioterror | :D | 23:08 |
| bioterror | I do, Mint is from the deep | 23:10 |
| Quaker | Hours of configuring and messing around later, I have hit nothing but a nice rock wall between myself and everything else. | 23:21 |
