[07:01] i am better than yesterday, thanks for asking [07:02] morning [07:06] is there anyone using lubuntu here? [07:06] hi Squirm [07:07] kodez: not I, but if it's a general Ubuntu issue you can ask anyway [07:07] can't say I'm a big fan of LXDE [07:07] hi Cantide [07:07] hey Kilos :) [07:07] how are you/ [07:07] ? [07:07] hello Cantide [07:07] good ty and you? [07:07] Squirm :) [07:07] Kilos, i'm okay - mild hangover and got 4 hours sleep last night [07:07] although, LXDE is light :P [07:07] but it seems i will still be able to study [07:07] eina [07:08] self inflicted punishment [07:08] :D [07:08] thus why I don't feel sympathy :P [07:08] yeah, i've been behaving for too long [07:08] it was just a matter of time [07:09] it's okay, it was worth it :) [07:09] meh [07:09] it never feels worth it the next day :/ [07:09] lol [07:09] nah, i'm not that hungover, really [07:10] just a slight headache which might be more from lack of sleep [07:10] Friday I was out, last night I just had a few beers watching the Sharks win [07:10] nice :) [07:10] and the Blue Bulls epic lose [07:10] I lol'd [07:10] Squirm, are you from Bloem or DBN? [07:11] I also lol'd at that :p [07:11] Cantide: more central kzn [07:11] aha [07:11] but you're a Sharks supporter i take it [07:11] indeed [07:11] cool :) [07:11] that game was close [07:11] where abouts are you from? [07:12] we always seem to slack off in the first half [07:12] Durban [07:12] tbh, I can't believe we won. was an awesome comeback [07:12] yeah [07:12] how to install pae? [07:12] sucks to be a cheetahs fan [07:12] sharks always struggle in the beginning of the cup because half the team is in the boks squad [07:12] down 21-6 [07:12] and we won [07:13] Kilos, that's also true, but it's true for bulls and WP, too [07:14] well see when they are all home again [07:14] kodez: I don't know, sorry [07:14] wasnt happy losing to the bulls last week [07:14] i'm still pining after that loss to the chiefs [07:14] in the super rugby [07:14] think i've seen enough rugby for the year [07:14] ya that was sad [07:14] like the sharks were payed to lose [07:15] hmm [07:15] not so sure about that [07:16] they ran us off our feet [07:16] if i configure that my laptop must switch off if not used in ten minutes, it does so even if i am playing a movie. how can i correct this? [07:16] * Cantide doesn't know about auto-shutdown ._. [07:18] kodez, is there a lubuntu irc channel [07:18] yip #lubuntu [07:19] they might know the ins and outs of lubuntu better [07:19] hi psydroid === Cantide is now known as CanStudy [07:19] yay [07:19] i think i'd better get started... else i might procrastinate all day :p [07:20] lol [07:20] hi Kilos and CanStudy [07:20] hi ^^ [07:21] uncle Kilos, I am consistently failing to get an answer from them [07:22] thats one of those channels where you have to be very patient [07:22] no other channel seems as quick to offer help as here [07:23] I will keep on trying to research how to fix my laptop [07:24] http://askubuntu.com/questions/129366/shutdown-in-specific-way-if-no-one-uses-computer [07:24] the last solution on that page sounds good [07:24] but i'm no script-guru, so i wouldn't know how suitable it is :-S [07:24] trying can't hurt, surely... [07:25] bbnn [07:25] gonna sort sheep [07:31] CanStudy, thanks. i now have ideas how to fix my problem [07:42] kodez, dont you have an option where you can do screensavers and power [07:43] and make your settings default [07:45] i do. if i use those ones to switch off the system if not used for 10 minutes, it do so even if i am watching a movie [07:52] lol [07:52] go change them again [07:53] set it for never switch off for starters [07:53] i did. i think i must try to use the script to check if i am still using it [08:01] how can i modify the script to check if mplayer or vlc is being used if not switch off? [09:18] kodez, why did you go for lubuntu [09:20] unity and gnome 3 doesn't work in old laptops and i tried puppy linux and it worked well i then changed it to lubuntu after the launch of ubuntu 12.04 [09:22] doesnt unity 2d work even? [09:22] my desktop pc is old but it works here [09:22] it does work well [09:22] unity 2d is going to be dropped, afaik [09:23] arent they bringing something else out in its place for older pcs? [09:23] i read somewhere about a new interface i think its called [09:24] unity doesn't work well in my mother's laptop [09:24] inetpro, should know [09:25] i only use 2d as well because when i activate the nvidia-server thing it sees my pc as a lappy and goes 640x480 screen [09:25] so i gave up and use 2d [09:27] lol [09:27] tried updating drivers? [09:28] i am happy with lubuntu even it's not in the unity standard [09:28] :) [09:31] i will try lubuntu when my son gets here with the iso sometime [09:32] where are you residing uncle Kilos? [09:32] pta [09:33] which side? east, west, south? [09:33] or north? [09:33] west [09:33] towards brits [09:34] you are far from me. I have the desktop and alternate 32 bit. [09:34] my son will bring when he gets a chance or has work to do in pta [09:35] he has downloaded lots of iso's for me [09:35] kwl [09:35] but im still getting used to unity 2d so no rush [09:35] but still prefer gnome2 [09:37] i have even tried tinycorelinux but cant get the usb modem to connect without getting more packages [09:37] i prefere gnome2 too [09:38] it was quicker in my opinion [09:39] well still is [09:43] let me get my work of the incoming tray and will log in again later [09:44] :) [09:48] hi smile4 [09:49] hi Kilos [09:49] I'm tired [09:49] :p [10:05] I'm Squirm [10:05] :p [10:06] * Squirm ponders [10:06] Ubuntu [10:06] or [10:06] Mint [10:09] Squirm: both! :p [10:45] smile4: I'm scared [10:45] :P [10:56] you scared Squirm ? [10:57] oh my [10:58] what if I break something [10:58] and then I've lost my data [10:58] cant you do it in virtual box [10:59] I want to install Ubuntu [10:59] then run alongside [10:59] no [11:00] why? [11:00] I have 3 partitions, / and /home and one where I store windows. so if I install it on /, I technically shouldn't lose my data [11:00] but I'm scared :P [11:01] backup first [11:01] techinally you should not loose data as long as backup and create a volume/partition for the new installation. [11:02] *technically [11:02] sakhi: I want to overwrite my current distro. there shouldn't be a problem [11:03] I can format and install it on sda1, because all my non-OS data is on sda5 [11:03] why don't you do-release-upgrade? [11:04] that way you wont loose data but you will use bandwidth [11:04] possible to move from Debian Squeeze to Ubuntu Natty? [11:09] na [11:09] I'll format [11:09] mebbe tomorrow === CanStudy is now known as CanCycle === CanCycle is now known as Cantide [14:35] Maaz, coffee on [14:35] * Maaz starts grinding coffee [14:35] kbmonkey, you here?
