[06:45] When I'm booting my asus eee pc from an usb stick with the latest lubuntu iso on it i get prompted by grub saying "possible commands are: background blocklist boot cat cdrom chainloader checkrange checktime etc etc etc and i dont know what command to write to execute/commence the install of lubuntu. Any ideas? thanks a million! [06:54] lunver, sounds like a bug [06:54] how did you create the usb stick [06:54] with sardu, hang on ill get you the exact version [06:55] don't bother [06:55] ah [06:55] ill try with yumi? or is there a better way? [06:55] using linux? [06:55] right now in on my desktop win win7 [06:55] im* on my desktop [06:55] usb disk creator works great [06:56] ah, sweet, ill try that, thank you! [06:56] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [06:56] imho it's the best one [06:56] how much ram on your netbook? you dual booting? [06:57] however, at the moment i have a 16gb usb pen drive with some avira rescue cd/avg rescue cd etc i will likely lose all my stuff on the usb when using usb disk creator? [06:57] 1gb ram in my netbook [06:57] no dualboot [06:57] or well, at the moment i have slackware and a failed windows xp installation that does not work :P [06:57] i can't remember man if it does a format [06:58] i think it doesn't require it [06:58] whatever, im on a pretty decent connection at the moment so its not a big deal to download the isos again. just want to install my netbook atm :) [06:58] using 12.04 desktop? [06:58] the lubuntu iso? [06:58] i think so yes [06:58] yeah [06:58] okk cool [06:58] just checkin :) [06:59] : [06:59] is there a 10.10 atm? [06:59] yes and i would never recommend it [07:00] haha ok, thanks for the warning!

[08:30] begineer, did you grab that miniand lubuntu? [08:31] it'sminiand lubuntu. [08:31] I thik. [08:31] bioterror.yes. it is. [08:32] password should be "miniand"?

[09:24] What are the system requirements for lubuntu sosftware center? [09:26] no requirements [09:27] qt d-bus? [09:27] nothing? [09:27] i thought you meant hardware [09:28] srry :) i asked about software [09:28] should tell you if you do apt-get install [09:29] i have to guess, but you aren't running lubuntu? [09:29] no i ranning lubuntu [09:29] i use it [09:30] the bugfixed version of LSC is in 12.03 [09:31] i use 12.04 [09:32] it should be already installed [09:35] wtf errors after errors :) [09:36] reported and reported [09:36] :D [09:37] you new to linux psichas? [09:40] oh yes :D [09:40] use synaptic [09:40] i had ubuntu xubuntu fedora centos hmm and i think that's all :D [09:41] from this os's i think one of the best is centos 6.2 and lubuntu 12.04 :D [09:43] welcome to lubuntu [09:45] i just love long time support os, centos was really cool, and long time support, but, it's still only with gnome :) so my old pc with amd sempron 1.8ghz and 512MB ram run it not so fastly like lubuntu :) [09:46] i run lubuntu at 4Ghz [09:47] awsome :) [09:48] cpu name? [09:48] yup. if you find any more bugs please report them [09:48] amd 4100 [09:48] fx [09:49] i run lubuntu in a compaq laptop with celeron and 256mb ram [09:49] :) [09:49] lol :D [09:49] psichas: why you lol?? [09:50] what's so awsome that just funy :) [10:40] Hello, I am wondering if there is a command I can run to reconfigure my hardware on my Lubuntu pen drive. I installed it at home and on another computer at work which I will normally use it for. [10:41] what hardware? [10:41] mostly you only get tons of network connection names [10:42] Network is fine. I installed on virtual box, now running on a P4. The cpu meter is pegged 100% non-stop. [10:44] pkill lxpanel [10:44] see if that fixes it [10:46] is the pkill command for me? [10:47] yes [10:47] yup [10:47] ok let me try [10:48] That seem to help. Do I need to do it every boot? [10:49] so it's fixed really? [10:49] well I brought the panel back by running lxpanel. But it seems to be using the wrong settings, cause it came back black and different icons. [10:50] I also ran hwinfo but not sure if that did anything. [10:50] control+alt+delete [10:50] lamogo, lxpanel --profile Lubuntu [10:50] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/906825 [10:50] Launchpad bug 906825 in lxpanel (Ubuntu) "[11.10 - 12.04] lxpanel crashing randomly. High CPU-Load nothing is clickable correctly. Redraw fails" [Undecided,Confirmed] [10:51] lxpanectl restart [10:51] That brings up task manager which I had been observing. It isn't at 100% even if I open a dialog or load program [10:51] might work also [10:51] ok fixed it [10:51] Is it permanent? [10:51] yeah that must've fixed it [10:51] no [10:52] hopefully it will be fixed in 12.10 [10:52] just do a lxpanelctl restart when it goes to 100 [10:52] ah it's a bug. Well I have this install on another USB, and I have no issues. [10:52] you use a lot of libreoffice? [10:54] I'm not using it ATM. I use this mainly for Skype cause I teach on-line lessons. The computers here at my work are sub-par and running Windows XP. I just have been using my USB to work with cause the speed is much greater. I bought a bigger USB stick and made it more permanent. Since I switched to this USB it has had a problem [10:55] greetings [10:55] might be pulseaudio then [10:55] i donno [10:55] hi [10:56] I just tried running lxpanelctl restart and no panel comes up. [10:57] what's lubuntu like? [10:57] I uninstalled pulseaudio and just use alsa [10:57] hi [10:57] lxpanectl restart should work if lxpanel is running [10:57] Is it more or less resource-efficient than Enlightenment WM ? [10:58] E17 was horrible [10:58] I tried it couple of days ago [10:58] Still coming up with wrong settings [10:58] bioterror, which one? bodhilinux? [10:58] o/ leszek [10:58] livingdaylight, on arch ,) [10:58] lamogo, remember the profile [10:58] bioterror, maybe the wrong combination ;) [10:59] livingdaylight, I have too slow laptop [10:59] bioterror, and lxde serves you better? [10:59] more or less [10:59] bioterror: its definitely a problem of arch then :P because I also tested it and it worked flawlessly :P [10:59] there is openbox too, which should be even lighter [11:00] livingdaylight, lxde is mostly used on top of the openbox [11:00] livingdaylight: yeah but it isn't a desktop environment [11:00] its a window manager [11:00] ok ok... my bad [11:00] sorry, still not working... [11:00] but I forgive you this, Timothy Dalton ;) [11:00] good distinction to remember, but still, the fact remains openbox is 'lighter' yes? [11:00] bbl [11:01] Do we have a openbox buntu derivative? [11:01] livingdaylight, no [11:01] becouse openbox is not a environment [11:01] it's just window manager [11:01] crunchbang is nice but debian based and miss ubuntu apps. Their wine is still v 1.1 in repos [11:01] why not just install LXDM, and configure openbox to your liking? [11:01] nothing stops you to do it [11:02] what you need is xfce4-power-manager and network-manager-applet [11:05] I have Voyager (xubuntu) on Desktop which isn't too light, but still looking for something on the laptop. Bodhi is nice - nice looking and configurable and seems on the surface a nice balance between eyecandy and efficiency, but not 100% sure. For instance on xubuntu installing gnash my .swf files just played flawlessly but not in bodhi where I had to go to command line to get it working. Feels a little fragil [11:05] e and/or quirky i guess? [11:06] gnash has problems all over the place. Which browser did you try that on ? [11:06] no browser [11:06] gnash is a stand-alone swf player [11:08] I've realized i'm more prepared to trade off eyecandy for functionality and stability than I had realized. Hadn't considered lxde much before coz I feared it would be a bit too on the minimalist [read 'boring' ] side [11:09] firefox+ flash works well for me [11:09] I am not talking about youtube [11:10] I'm talking about lots of files like avi files but made in swf format [11:10] for those need gnash afaik [11:11] livingdaylight: ah now I understand you simply didn't have gnash assigned to swf as mimetype [11:11] point being that in Voyager it plays those files flawlessly and in bodhilinux nothing happened when I hit them files with gnash, even though they'reboth supposed to be ubuntu underneath [11:11] leszek, hrmm, maybe that's it! [11:11] livingdaylight: you have to simply assing the mimetype [11:12] leszek, i see i see [11:12] open with -> and then set gnash as default there [11:12] bodhi to my knowledge uses also pcmanfm which is used by lubuntu aswell [11:13] leszek, in a terminal when I gnash it did play it. [11:13] i'm running swf files right now in firefox [11:13] kanliot, you can use ff to open swf files on your computer? [11:13] kanliot: yeah that works also [11:13] * kanliot loves firefox [11:14] livingdaylight: yes then in the open with dialog just assign the gnash application to the swf file [11:14] livingdaylight: so let me give you a detailed explaination [11:14] leszek, wonder though, why, when I hit the file with Open with Gnash it did not respond? and In xubuntu i didn't have to assigm mime type or anything [11:14] kanliot, ? [11:15] xubuntu seems to did it on their own. I think bodhi is still based on an older version of ubuntu so it uses an older gnash version [11:15] yes [11:15] should be easy to install firefox, flash [11:15] :) [11:15] ubuntu-restricted-extras [11:18] http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-502cd6ceb39de8.15038361.jpg [11:18] it appears when I go to properties gnash IS assigned [11:18] kanliot, have FF, just never opened files on my computer with it [11:19] i can't think of a reason to install gnash when flash is working 100% [11:19] kanliot, well, that's not actually the point discussed [11:20] you said swf files [11:20] gnash has always and is working fine for me, on another *buntu distro, just wondered why not in bodhi, when it will play it from command-line. It was just an example of the sort of thing which has me feeling a little suspicious of it. Its nice to have and feel 100% confidence in the computer one is using [11:21] kanliot, no, i was comparing gnash working in xubuntu vs not working equally easily and flawlessly in bodhi ,) [11:22] However, I'm interested, of course, in options and how you use FF exactly to open swf files saved to the computer [11:22] livingdaylight: I really thing its not an bodhi issue but more of an filemanager issue maybe [11:23] what happens if you assign it manually to gnash by typing in gnash in the open with dialog ? [11:23] leszek, did you seee screenshot? [11:23] yes I see it [11:24] but you should try it anyway [11:24] because this one in the screenshot is the assigned *.desktop file which ships with gnash. Maybe its broken or simply does not work well with pcmanfm [11:24] leszek, sorry, I meant I had already; hence the screenshot. And no, that doesn't make gnash open the file [11:25] livingdaylight: if you had tried that the screenshot would look different [11:25] ok, maybe thunar>pfmanfm [11:25] the open with optionbox should only show gnash then and not the describtion of the *.desktop file which is Gnash SWF Viewer [11:26] leszek, i did try it, and now again, it doesn't change the properties dialog that I show you, which shows that file to be opened with gnash [11:26] ok than this is an error [11:26] ok [11:27] livingdaylight: ok I tried it here. It works :P [11:28] regarding version. I'm using 0.8.10 installed from synaptic [11:28] leszek, so its not the file manager :) [11:28] hehe [11:28] Open With -> Command line tab -> gnash %f -> save it as default - >hit ok [11:28] sorry, pcmanfm [11:29] it works here [11:29] maybe the pcmanfm version is too old that bodhi ships, which version is it ? [11:30] leszek, tried to copy your steps, but no result [11:31] but its the little things like this that make a difference in user-experience [11:31] hmmpf... ok I will download bodhi right now to test this :P I know that this must work [11:31] leszek, WoW [11:31] hehe... I like it! [11:32] before you do [11:32] livingdaylight: its because you will have the same issues with lubuntu maybe, as it is the same filemanager :P [11:32] or uses the same [11:32] just to be sure I am following correct [11:32] right-click [11:32] Open with [11:32] command tab [11:32] gnash %f [11:33] there is no 'save' just 'OK' at the bottom, correct? [11:33] there should be make this the default association or something like that [11:33] * livingdaylight thinks its funny he's in #lubuntu getting bodhi support , lol [11:33] ah its not bodhi support. Its support for gnash + pcmanfm, because thats the main problem here [11:34] yes, of course. I saw it as a bodhi issue, but maybe you're right about gnash+pcmanfm being the issue [11:34] btw. while I am downloading it. Did you try installing thunar and opening the swf files there ? [11:34] another way to test it would be for me to dl and install Thunar here, coz that is what xubuntu is using where it works [11:35] yeah please try that [11:35] haha,,, I was typing the same thought before I read what you said [11:35] Ok [11:36] btw, like this: http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-502cdb196a73a3.27281978.jpg [11:37] yes exactly [11:37] ok, nah... :( [11:38] livingdaylight: what if you type in gnash-gtk-launcher %f instead of only gnash %f ? [11:39] ah livingdaylight I think I might found the problem [11:39] just copy one of the swf files directly to your home directory and then doubleclick it [11:39] if its working than the path you are currently have stored the swf is not correctly given from pcmanfm to gnash [11:40] spaces in the filenames? [11:41] kanliot: no in the path [11:41] Hello again. I rebooted my computer and the problem is no longer there. Thanks for the help. [11:41] see his first screenshot, there you can see the path were those files are stored [11:41] it has lots of spaces in it [11:42] Nice [11:42] bug found [11:42] %s is without the path [11:42] someone should document that [11:43] livingdaylight: I can reproduce this in Lubuntu when I put a swf file in a folder (or a path which has spaces in his name) [11:43] kanliot: exactly this one works [11:43] livingdaylight: so please try opening those swf files with : gnash %s . It should than work [11:46] *then [11:56] leszek, YES! [11:56] sorry, multi-tasking; putting pizza in oven [11:57] gnash %$ works [12:01] :) [13:49] I just installed lubuntu 12.04 on my asus eee pc 1000h and it works like a charm, howeverthe computer refuses to boot without my usb key in the machine and with it set as the 1st boot device.However im fairly certain i didnt install the linux on to my flash drive. Is there a way to fanagle with the mbr to get my computer to boot without the flashdrive? thanks a million! [13:52] !mbr [13:52] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

Htop is reading 600+ ram being used. Is that normal? seems high [15:41] 643 in fact [right now] [15:41] quit htop [15:41] and say: free -m [15:43] okay? [15:43] what am I looking for? [15:43] your memory usage [15:44] in the used column? [15:44] =625 [15:44] how of it is cached? [15:46] sorry, cached is probably 625 and used = 1705 [15:46] :-) [15:46] not sure how that corresponds to htop. 625 is similar to 643 reading of htop... [15:47] is it low? I know bodhilinux was using less, even on a live-cd/usb [15:47] bioterror, thought you said earlier enlightenment was causing too much issues on your old machine? [15:48] htop probably tells you buffers/cache [15:49] my question is whether those are normal readings, as it seems kinda high. Expected it to be on par if not lower than Enlightenment [15:49] under default settings, htop's memory bar has a green section for used, blue for buffers and orange for cache [15:50] the numbers are used/total [15:51] the used number in htop should correspond to the used +/- buffers/cache figure in free -m [17:41] re [17:56] hi [18:08] removed crash and error reports, too much errors... that's ... :/ [18:14] luciole [18:14] 2012-08-16 21:13:50,922 - luciole - INFO - MainThread - (luciole.py, 123) - Starting luciole [18:14] Traceback (most recent call last): [18:14] File "/usr/lib/luciole/luciole.py", line 143, in
