[04:55]  * ICWiener has to reboot bbiab
[05:21] <Error404NotFound> any good audio recording tools that i can use to debug if the issue is in my linux audio drivers or skype?
[05:38] <bioterror> I've been using audacity for my needs
[05:48] <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
[07:11]  * DFrostedWang is going to sleep now
[07:17] <Error404NotFound> resolved sound issue.
[08:24] <speckmade> hey there.
[08:24] <speckmade> I wonder what the recommended/prefered way is to create Samba shares?..
[08:26] <thor_> I can see that chromium 20 is on lubuntu 12.10. Cant we get it on lubuntu 12.04
[08:32] <speckmade> have you checked launchpad for a PPA already?
[08:34] <thor_> speckmade:  yes its only chromium 18
[08:47] <speckmade> I was able to find a satisfying answer to my question myself.
[08:48] <thor_> speckmade:  did you find anything on chromium 20
[08:49] <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.
[08:50] <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.
[11:12] <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?
[11:13] <suikhei> so that it is at least on par with winxp
[11:15] <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
[11:18] <suikhei> the configuration of my machine is Pentium III 900MHz and 256MB RAM
[11:22] <suikhei> so it should be well above the minimum system requirements
[11:39] <sb1980> since the latest package upgrades, i experience big problems with skype and adobe flashplugin .does anyone has the same problems?
[12:38] <suikhei> also, whose stupid idea was to allow guest account by default? not even windows is that idiotic
[12:41] <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
[12:42] <holstein> suikhei: 256 of ram is rather low spec, but lubuntu should be a good option on there
[12:43] <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.
[12:56] <DarkSim> Hello :)
[12:59] <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
[13:00] <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*
[13:01] <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
[13:02] <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
[13:03] <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
[13:04] <DarkSim> Gonna try Xfce now, installation just done
[13:04] <holstein> DarkSim: xubuntu-desktop*
[15:13] <viju> hi
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <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
[15:16] <viju> ok, when I try with number pad it doesn't let me in
[15:16] <viju> but only with regular numbers
[15:17] <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
[15:18] <viju> and one more thing
[15:19] <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
[15:20] <viju> how can I do that?
[15:21] <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
[15:22] <holstein> then, i look at how to make those persistent in the install, assumimg the results are what im expecting
[15:23] <viju> so it's not possible now?
[15:25] <holstein> its all open, so everything is possible.. if it were me, id just try the live CD since that wouldnt "break" anything
[15:26] <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

[20:06] <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.
[20:07] <Quaker> If anybody were to assist me, I'd be grateful. :)
[20:09] <Unit193> If I{m reading right, it{s the Broadcom BCM4323 chipset,
[20:09] <Unit193> !bcm
[20:09] <Quaker> It isn't PCI.
[20:10] <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.
[20:11] <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] <Unit193> http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/Netgear_WNDA3100v2 ¿?
[20:12] <Quaker> Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0846:9011 NetGear, Inc. WNDA3100v2 802.11abgn [Broadcom BCM4323]
[20:12] <Quaker> Yep. That's the adapter.
[20:14] <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?
[20:15] <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.
[20:16] <Quaker> Knew I should've bought a PCI wireless adapter.
[20:18] <Quaker> Apparently, there's no native drivers for it.
[20:19] <Quaker> So I'm just shit out of luck? :\
[20:21] <Unit193> !ndiswrapper
[20:21] <Unit193> Looks to be the only option?
[20:22] <Quaker> WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper?
[20:28] <Quaker> FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
[20:32] <Quaker> Okay, so.. apparently, ndiswrapper's  module isn't installed.
[20:35] <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...

[23:01] <silverarrow> #linuxmint
[23:02] <silverarrow> does anyone know the difference between mint and ubuntu?
[23:08] <bioterror> :D
[23:10] <bioterror> I do, Mint is from the deep
[23:21] <Quaker> Hours of configuring and messing around later, I have hit nothing but a nice rock wall between myself and everything else.
