| Jef91 | Anyone know how you make lightdm autologin? | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | i would look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_to_enable_automatic_logon | 00:07 |
| gld1982ltd | holstein: does that work for you? | 00:18 |
| holstein | gld1982ltd: dont know... dont use auto login | 00:25 |
| gld1982ltd | holstein: i am referring to the power button | 00:27 |
| holstein | gld1982ltd: OH.. i didnt worry about that either.. i just do the shutdown, or sudo halt | 00:29 |
| holstein | im usually on laptops anyways, and i dont shutdown | 00:30 |
| holstein | i go into LXDE and openbox expecting to trade speed and performance for features | 00:30 |
| gld1982ltd | i hear ya. | 00:31 |
| straddle_ | Hi - this is my first time ever using IRC so be gentle! I just installed Lubuntu 12.04 on my old Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop in an effort to make it useful again for simple tasks. | 05:58 |
| straddle_ | I want to be able to use it for email and basic web stuff | 05:59 |
| straddle_ | unfortunately the wifi is not being detected | 05:59 |
| straddle_ | wired lan works fine, and the wifi worked fine in Ubuntu 12.04 but not in Lubuntu 12.04 | 06:01 |
| straddle_ | Can anyone help me get it working? | 06:02 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | straddle_: pastebin output lspci from terminal | 06:28 |
| Perry_ | hi everyone | 09:06 |
| alternativeguiap | can anyone recommend me a GRAPHICAL alternative to lxmed that does not require java? | 10:16 |
| alternativeguiap | anyone? | 10:18 |
| bLadymoo | Hi | 14:04 |
| bLadymoo | I have Lxde desktop installed on my ubuntu unity | 14:04 |
| bLadymoo | VEry happy with Lxde | 14:04 |
| holstein | bLadymoo: you install lxde in ubuntu? | 14:04 |
| bLadymoo | yeah | 14:04 |
| holstein | thats a lot like what lubuntu is | 14:04 |
| TheLordOfTime | bLadymoo: you mean you installed LXDE on top of default Ubuntu which comes with GNOME and Unity? | 14:04 |
| holstein | lubuntu is ubuntu with LXDE | 14:05 |
| bLadymoo | YEah first I installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS wich uses Unity as default. Then I installed LXDE Desktop on it. | 14:06 |
| holstein | cool... enjoy! | 14:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | holstein: i think he kept the gnome packages though | 14:07 |
| TheLordOfTime | like... all of them... | 14:07 |
| holstein | sure.. you can "keep" whatever you like.. you can login using unity then LXDE.. like dualbooting :) | 14:07 |
| TheLordOfTime | speaking to someone who keeps each runtime around | 14:07 |
| bLadymoo | It boots with blue "lubuntu" logo anymore. not ubuntu. | 14:08 |
| TheLordOfTime | on this machine, I have the GNOME/Unity runtime, a KDE runtime, XFCE runtime, and Lxde runtime :P | 14:08 |
| holstein | only reason i would bother removing them is if hard drive space were an issue | 14:08 |
| TheLordOfTime | but i didnt install all the other cruftware that comes with each desktop :P | 14:08 |
| bLadymoo | How do I make sure there is nothing that slows down my boot time with lubuntu? | 14:09 |
| holstein | i just dont reboot that often.. there are startup applications and services | 14:10 |
| holstein | i would probably read some links like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491 until the commands make sense | 14:12 |
| menethoril | holstein: It would be incredibly difficult to remove all of that by hand. Wouldn't it be simpler to just backup your /home and reinstall vanilla Lubuntu if you want to keep it? | 14:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | menethoril: if necessary, but... | 14:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | menethoril: i think the list of what the desktop packages install is kept around somewhere | 14:13 |
| holstein | menethoril: remove all of what? | 14:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | holstein: the installed programs that come with [flavor]-desktop ? | 14:14 |
| holstein | i just leave them in place unless im worried about hard drive space | 14:15 |
| holstein | !pure | 14:15 |
| holstein | !purelxde | 14:15 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » | 14:15 |
| menethoril | TheLordOfTime: He could remove each and every program installed with Kubuntu-desktop, Xubuntu-desktop, etc. and just autoremove afterward, but it seems like a way to swiftly bork a config file or something. | 14:16 |
| bLadymoo | holstein, thank you. this page you gave would be a good start to read and doo | 14:20 |
| bLadymoo | can I shoot one more question | 14:20 |
| holstein | bLadymoo: thats what we are here for | 14:20 |
| bLadymoo | is there any stable (wont crash my display) themes for this GNOME PAnel i use with LXDE? | 14:21 |
| holstein | you are using a gnome panel with lxde? | 14:21 |
| bLadymoo | yeah | 14:21 |
| bLadymoo | I installed GNOME Panel on my Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and LXDE | 14:22 |
| holstein | i have not done that.. i would expect any gnome panel theme to work | 14:22 |
| bLadymoo | it boots with LXDE right in to Gnome Panel (Gnome Classic) | 14:22 |
| holstein | the new gnome panel is one of my biggest gripes with the new gnome personally | 14:23 |
| bLadymoo | where do i find the new gnome panel | 14:28 |
| bLadymoo | This is what I get as result when I do sudo apt-get update : Reading package lists... Done | 14:29 |
| bLadymoo | W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org precise InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 | 14:29 |
| bLadymoo | any idea? | 14:47 |
| holstein | bLadymoo: yup.. as it says, the sigs cannot be verified | 14:48 |
| holstein | you can look into adding the proper public key | 14:48 |
| bLadymoo | what is public key | 14:48 |
| holstein | bLadymoo: its the key you are missing that is causing that error | 14:49 |
| bLadymoo | how do i place it back? | 14:50 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1221323.html | 14:51 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/20725/gpg-error-the-following-signatures-couldnt-be-verified-because-the-public-key | 14:51 |

| holstein | sudo apt-get update | 14:52 |

| bLadymoo | "make sure to use ur own" what does it mean with thast? | 14:54 |
| bLadymoo | *that? | 14:54 |
| holstein | bLadymoo: what command did you run? that giant one? | 14:55 |
| holstein | where did you get that? | 14:55 |
| bLadymoo | didnt | 14:56 |
| bLadymoo | its in that page u gave | 14:56 |
| holstein | bLadymoo: sure.. that will be for *that* particular error, not yours | 14:56 |
| holstein | the one i gave is what i would expect to fis yours | 14:56 |
| holstein | fix* | 14:57 |
| bLadymoo | this was my error: W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org precise InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 | 14:57 |
| holstein | correct | 14:57 |
| holstein | thats where i got that code i linked you in the command i gave | 14:57 |
| holstein | 10:52 < holstein> might be as simple as sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 2EBC26B60C5A2783 | 14:57 |
| bLadymoo | so i should type sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 2EBC26B60C5A2783 | 14:57 |
| holstein | bLadymoo: you should add the key for the repository that is giving you that error | 14:58 |
| bLadymoo | holstein, you were right. Its fixed | 14:59 |
| holstein | bLadymoo: you dont want to just copy and paste commands from posts | 15:00 |
| holstein | that can get you into trouble.. you can always paste the command here and ask "does this look right?" | 15:01 |
| silverarrow | should minitube crash instantly in lubuntu? | 16:34 |
| holstein | in ppc, i would expect that | 16:35 |
| silverarrow | crap | 16:36 |
| silverarrow | I have used it before on regular pc, but some time ago | 16:37 |
| silverarrow | it behaved exactly the same | 16:37 |
| holstein | yup.. flash is just awful | 16:37 |
| silverarrow | I thought it might be different now | 16:37 |
| silverarrow | core2duo still should not be too horrid | 16:37 |
| silverarrow | I have to get a i7 | 16:38 |
| silverarrow | is quad core a must these days? | 16:38 |
| leszek | hi | 16:38 |
| silverarrow | odd thing is I can get by on celeron cpu still, at least the fastest ones | 16:39 |
| silverarrow | hi leszek | 16:39 |
| leszek | silverarrow: it depends pretty much on what you do or want to do with your pc | 16:39 |
| leszek | for surfing, writing mails, watching some movies and listening to music even a single core atom is enough | 16:40 |
| silverarrow | true, I am not that demanding I though, but some stuff needs good hardware | 16:40 |
| leszek | yeah that for sure | 16:40 |
| leszek | video editing for example :P | 16:40 |
| holstein | compiling and rendering would benefit certainly | 16:40 |
| silverarrow | laptop is a must, good HD screen, fast, and I suppose if there is a chance the computer is intact and all fine after three years and still want to use it you need the i7 | 16:41 |
| holstein | still, you can usually do it.. just might be limited or take 10 times longer | 16:41 |
| silverarrow | I do a bit of video editing, but not much | 16:41 |
| silverarrow | 17 " screen is nice to watchd, but 15" is more portable | 16:42 |
| menethoril | Get The newer version (1.8?) from a PPA. Just search for it, I believe it is on webupd8. It is far more stable. | 16:48 |
| leszek | re | 17:09 |
| bLadymoo | holstein, | 17:47 |
| bLadymoo | around? | 17:47 |
| Unit193 | Howdy, whatcha need? | 17:48 |
| bLadymoo | anayway. is there a software that i can ignore some programs to run on startup? | 17:49 |
| holstein | bLadymoo: if you are new, i would just "get your feet wet" with the system | 17:49 |
| holstein | just use it for a while.. otherwise there are links like the one i linked before about how to speed up boot time | 17:50 |
| bLadymoo | holstein, i tried this sysv-rc-conf | 17:50 |
| holstein | you can search for those with "ubuntu" instead of "lubuntu".. might get more results | 17:50 |
| bLadymoo | it did help some but it does not shows the mail that stands at top right on task bar which shows Online | Offline | Avilable ect for chat i guess | 17:51 |
| Unit193 | There's a program that tells you what services run on startup, if you know you don't use some of those. | 17:51 |
| holstein | bLadymoo: i think its in the "i guess" that i urge you to look... dont assume things are taking up resources in linux | 17:52 |
| holstein | if you are new, i suggest taking some time and getting used to the system | 17:52 |
| holstein | shaving a few seconds off the boot time can take a lot of time editing and testing and breaking and reverting | 17:52 |
| bLadymoo | holstein, alright. I am new and curious, BUT ur right. no need to start a trouble with playing system... i will follow what u say. | 17:53 |
| bLadymoo | i better play with icons and themes ect.. | 17:53 |
| holstein | play with what you like.. just be aware that you can break things... and probably will.. which is a great way to learn | 17:54 |
| bLadymoo | How about giving more space between icons at taskbar that myself placed like chormium icon.. Those icons are stands so close to each other atm. | 17:54 |
| holstein | what task bar? the gnome panel?.. i havent used the new gnome panel | 17:55 |
| bLadymoo | btw. LXDE is increadably clean and light! | 17:55 |
| bLadymoo | Gnome panel yes... the right top | 17:55 |
| bLadymoo | oh i see | 17:55 |
| silverarrow | hi | 18:35 |
| silverarrow | does anyone know how gstreamer relatest to media streams in lubuntu? | 18:35 |
| holstein | in ppc linux under lubuntu | 18:36 |
| silverarrow | no more in general | 18:36 |
| silverarrow | well ppc too | 18:36 |
| silverarrow | I checked with a i384 system, and minitube crashes there too | 18:37 |
| holstein | silverarrow: you tried the PPA that menethoril suggested? | 18:37 |
| silverarrow | no | 18:37 |
| silverarrow | what did he suggest? | 18:38 |
| holstein | ppa.. trying the latest | 18:38 |
| holstein | https://launchpad.net/~ferramroberto/+archive/minitube | 18:38 |
| silverarrow | you mean, ppa as in precise pangolin? | 18:38 |
| holstein | problem is its a lot of variables | 18:38 |
| holstein | the content is not being designed to run in minitube | 18:39 |

| silverarrow | I have 1.6 | 18:40 |
| silverarrow | no wonder, | 18:40 |
| silverarrow | probably a few fixes thre | 18:40 |
| silverarrow | thanks holstein | 18:40 |
| silverarrow | sorry, I was a bit slow there | 18:40 |
| silverarrow | ppa, lol | 18:40 |
| holstein | no worries! | 18:41 |
| silverarrow | not an option for ppc I am afraid | 18:46 |
| silverarrow | ...but for the i386 computer it is | 18:47 |
| holstein | silverarrow: i thought you were testing both? | 18:47 |
| silverarrow | I am, | 18:47 |
| holstein | i would try the latest on nonPPPC | 18:48 |
| silverarrow | but hard to test ppc when there is not package | 18:48 |
| holstein | sure.. but you will know something | 18:48 |
| silverarrow | I will, | 18:48 |
| holstein | if it works well on non ppc, then you'll know that its possible, and not every version is crap | 18:48 |
| silverarrow | I have had this trouble with minitube before, and I just gave it up | 18:48 |
| holstein | you'll know that you should try and find/build the latest version for pps | 18:48 |
| holstein | if it still sux, you can just give up | 18:49 |
| holstein | silverarrow: i literally read about what minitube was and gave up on it | 18:49 |
| holstein | years ago.. too many variables | 18:49 |
| silverarrow | I have discovered an odd thing with minitube | 18:49 |
| silverarrow | there is an addon in firefox "minitube-integration" where any youtube video starting in browser open in a separate window in minitub too, and do not crash? | 18:51 |
| silverarrow | best picture quality too | 18:51 |
| silverarrow | for ppc sound is lost on html5 in Firefox 15 | 18:52 |
| holstein | ppc is not actively developed | 18:54 |
| holstein | i mean, if you were near me, id just give you some p4 and you could donate that ppc | 18:54 |
| silverarrow | holstein: so minitube is not that fancy? | 19:10 |
| holstein | fancy?... its just playing youtube vids | 19:10 |
| holstein | i dont care much about either | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | minitube is grea | 19:12 |
| inkyion | hi everyone! somehow over the 11->12 upgrade my sound and mic settings have gone bonkers, i was wondering if anyone's had experience fixing this sort of thing | 19:15 |
| silverarrow | well, I have opened alsamixer and fuzzed with settings? | 19:16 |
| silverarrow | bonkers, you mean way off or lost at sea? | 19:16 |
| inkyion | whoa, fuzzed? what do you mean? | 19:16 |
| silverarrow | well, sometimes settings go off in mixer during updates | 19:17 |
| silverarrow | have you opened terminal and typed in alsamixer? | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | inkyion: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 sconds then retry sound | 19:17 |
| inkyion | um, ok. the new skype (4.?) was "automatically" adjusting mic and volume (i assume in alsa) and doing a bad job of it. then today the mic stopped working altogether. naturally the first thing i did was unset the setting to let it autoadjust | 19:18 |
| inkyion | i did open up alsamixer, that was next | 19:18 |
| silverarrow | the vegetable hero is the clever guy | 19:18 |
| ActionParsnip | haha only sometimes | 19:18 |
| inkyion | i unmuted the mic and cranked up most of the booster but i don't know what all the settings mean | 19:19 |
| Unit193 | http://askubuntu.com/questions/96367/how-can-i-get-line-in-microphone-working-with-skype-on-lubuntu-11-10 ? | 19:19 |
| inkyion | i read that you're supposed to kill pulseaudio but i don't understand what it does | 19:19 |
| silverarrow | me neiter really, but I play around with them until I am fairly happy, this laptop has horrid sound anyway | 19:20 |
| inkyion | here's the thing | 19:20 |
| ActionParsnip | inkyion: it frees up the config files, pulse gets set to automatically rerun, it will then generate default configs | 19:20 |
| inkyion | i try to record sound with audacity and that isn't working either | 19:20 |
| silverarrow | I didn`t think we had pulseaudio in lubuntu? | 19:20 |
| inkyion | trying the pulseaudio thing | 19:20 |
| ActionParsnip | not by default, it can be installed (one of my systems needs it for some reason) | 19:21 |
| inkyion | sorry my whole everything just froze | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | inkyion: have you tested your RAM? | 19:30 |
| inkyion | no? would that sort of thing just pop up all of a sudden? this computer is relatively new (~2 years old) and pretty reliable. am now trying to record sound after reboot | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | inkyion: RAM can be DOA | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | inkyion: newness is irrelevant, if you are getting freezing it may be bad RAM | 19:34 |
| inkyion | i think i just had waaaaay too many windows open. | 19:35 |
| inkyion | how do i test my ram? | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | inkyion: reboot, hold SHIFT and select memtest from Grub | 19:36 |
| silverarrow | htop? | 19:36 |
| inkyion | thanks | 19:36 |
| silverarrow | serious memtest | 19:37 |
| inkyion | what's the difference between mic, mic-boost, internal boost, and capture | 19:37 |
| inkyion | ? | 19:37 |
| silverarrow | memory are usually not a problem on newer hard ware | 19:37 |
| silverarrow | in media player? | 19:38 |
| inkyion | in alsa | 19:38 |
| silverarrow | not sure | 19:39 |
| silverarrow | I just try different settings until I am fairly happy with them | 19:39 |
| silverarrow | I don`t use mic often | 19:39 |
| FounderOf42O | Is there a way i can get avdanced touchpad settings on lubuntu? xubuntu and ubuntu have it by default | 19:40 |
| silverarrow | depends, is it gnome spesific? | 19:41 |
| silverarrow | in lubuntu there are functions listed under preferances | 19:42 |
| FounderOf42O | i'm not sure what package it is. could be gpointing-device-settings but it has no integration on lxde and the setings dont stick after reboot | 19:42 |
| silverarrow | I think you should be able to find most stuff available, maybe with an extra package install | 19:43 |
| silverarrow | I see | 19:43 |
| silverarrow | maybe the lxde channel? | 19:44 |
| FounderOf42O | ok thanks | 19:44 |
| inkyion | ok, i think i just found out what pulseaudio does :). killing it takes out the little volume control in the dock. re-starting it with pulseaudio -D doesn't seem to restore functionality. playing music no longer makes sounds ok, so pulse does something important. :-D | 19:46 |
| inkyion | as expected | 19:46 |
| mooser | Hi. How can I report a wrong spelling on linux? | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: report a bug | 19:55 |
| mooser | how | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: ubuntu-bug packagename in terminal will start it | 19:56 |
| inkyion | another reboot later i am giving up for the time being. the only way i can interpret this is pulse makes my computer functional, so i'm keeping it and troubleshoot skype later. thanks for all your help! | 19:58 |
| mooser | sudo -ubuntu-bug weather indicator | 19:58 |
| mooser | this did not worked | 19:58 |
| mooser | btw I visited the extensions.gnome.org and it gives me this warning with a red color text: You do not appear to have an up to date version of GNOME3. You won't be able to install extensions from here. See the about page for more information. | 20:00 |
| mooser | I have Gnome Panel installed on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS with LXDE | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: no need for sudo, i never mentioned sudo...did I | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ? | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: so why add it? | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: ubuntu-bug weather-indicator (assuming that is the package name) | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: if you run smoeting different to what is advised, don't be overly suprised if it doesn't work | 20:07 |
| mooser | ActionParsnip, sorry, I thought its all need sudo to effect | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: no, a lot of things don't need sudo | 20:07 |
| mooser | i see | 20:09 |
| mooser | well i may check the software center for right package name maybe | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: or run: dpkg -l | grep weather | awk {'print $2'} | 20:12 |
| silverarrow | I installed Totem, to see if I could get nett Tv to work | 20:13 |
| silverarrow | not any luck though | 20:15 |
| mooser | ActionParsnip, Result of the command u gave is: indicator-weather | 20:15 |
| mooser | libgweather-3-0 | 20:15 |
| mooser | libgweather-common | 20:15 |
| mooser | python-pywapi | 20:15 |
| mooser | we put the weather first. | 20:16 |
| silverarrow | minitube works for powerpc in tiger and leopard OSX | 20:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: then run: ubuntu-bug indicator-weather | 20:17 |
| mooser | did. ive got a bug report screen wich is filled with some information but what i wanted is actually some thing i could type and state the issue | 20:22 |
