| n150p | Hi everyone, can you tell me how to disable the guest account login? I'm using Lubuntu 12.04 "out of the box" | 10:21 |
| bioterror | n150p, edit lightdm.conf | 10:23 |
| bioterror | and disable it | 10:23 |
| n150p | i see no option to disable. it's only 4 lines: | 10:25 |
| n150p | [SeatDefaults] | 10:25 |
| n150p | greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter | 10:25 |
| n150p | user-session=Lubuntu | 10:25 |
| n150p | xft-dpi=144 | 10:25 |
| bioterror | allow-guest=false | 10:26 |
| n150p | but I think now that you told me that I'm using lightdm (which I did not know) ... i could probably google it | 10:26 |
| n150p | oh, thanks | 10:26 |
| n150p | i'll try that | 10:26 |
| n150p | brb | 10:27 |
| n150p | bioterror, thanks. works perfectly. | 10:33 |
| bioterror | np | 10:34 |
| bioterror | hi mariob | 10:38 |
| faLUCE | hi. is it possible to install (x/k/l)ubuntu on zelig pad 700 ? | 11:27 |
| faLUCE | hi. Is it possible to install (k/l/x)ubuntu on a zelig pad 700 ? | 12:22 |
| smartboyhw | faLUCE: Is that an ARM device? | 12:23 |
| faLUCE | smartboyhw arm cortex 1 ghz | 12:24 |
| smartboyhw | OK, I think Lubuntu just introduced an ARM image | 12:25 |
| smartboyhw | However it is unstable since it is 12.10 I think | 12:25 |
| smartboyhw | May be | 12:26 |
| smartboyhw | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-preinstalled/20120905/quantal-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+ac100.tar.gz | 12:26 |
| smartboyhw | Download it | 12:26 |
| faLUCE | smartboyhw: which version is it? | 12:26 |
| smartboyhw | And then https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OmapNetbook | 12:26 |
| smartboyhw | faLUCE, 12.10 | 12:26 |
| smartboyhw | Beta 1 | 12:26 |
| faLUCE | smartboyhw: but what about the touchscreen? | 12:27 |
| smartboyhw | Touchscreen oh | 12:29 |
| smartboyhw | Then I don't know:) | 12:29 |
| faLUCE | anyway, thanks for the other tips | 12:30 |

| joe__462 | hey guys | 18:00 |
| joe__462 | after running 'apt-get install nvidia-current', i got my desktop resolution absulutly currepted | 18:02 |
| joe__462 | so i've uninstalled it but i can't get the original lubuntu driver setup going | 18:03 |
| joe__462 | can anyone help me on how to restore my original ubuntu 12.04 video and sound driver settings? | 18:04 |
| joe__462 | oh yeah, for some reason after running the nvidia update, i lost the sound ablilities as weel | 18:05 |
| silverarrow | sound driver should be easy | 18:06 |
| silverarrow | I think you can switch drivers in alsamixedr | 18:07 |
| silverarrow | alsamixer | 18:07 |
| silverarrow | joe__462, resolution is usually about config though? | 18:08 |
| joe__462 | yeah, i've played around with alsamixer before to get the sound going but the thing i don't understand is why nvidia update messed up the sound.. | 18:08 |
| silverarrow | not sure either, cause it should not | 18:08 |
| silverarrow | however the regular procedure for sound is: right click loudspeaker icon on the task bar | 18:10 |
| joe__462 | yeah but it's all gray, i can't use the bars | 18:10 |
| silverarrow | it should be unmuted | 18:10 |
| silverarrow | oh | 18:11 |
| silverarrow | weird | 18:11 |
| silverarrow | is it a fresh install? | 18:11 |
| silverarrow | does alsamixer launch in terminal? | 18:11 |
| joe__462 | yeah | 18:12 |
| silverarrow | and all parameters are on, or high levels ? | 18:12 |
| joe__462 | no it's a gui one thing, donno i've installed all sorts of alsa stuff before to get it going ;) | 18:12 |
| silverarrow | I have had alsamixer settings suddenly go off for weird reasons though | 18:13 |
| silverarrow | like update, or package install | 18:14 |
| joe__462 | yeah, i know... but to be honest, i'm more bothered with the display settings at the moment | 18:14 |
| silverarrow | I`m just suggesting a double check | 18:14 |
| joe__462 | thanks silver | 18:14 |
| silverarrow | and you have tried monitor settings? | 18:14 |
| joe__462 | monitor settings first does not detect my monitor, and second the max resulution i get is 640x480 60 refresh rate | 18:15 |
| joe__462 | and i'm using 19 inch monitor how bad could it get ;) | 18:16 |
| silverarrow | unusually low, unless it is a very old computer | 18:16 |
| silverarrow | you need one of the clever guys | 18:16 |
| joe__462 | it is quite old, but everything seems to work fine before i ran 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' | 18:17 |
| joe__462 | hehe silver, that's a good one ;) | 18:17 |
| silverarrow | someone on the Ubuntu channel should be able to help, at least of there is low activity here | 18:17 |
| silverarrow | hmm, let me check | 18:17 |
| joe__462 | thanks mate, that's very nice of you | 18:18 |
| silverarrow | what are the graphics packages called? | 18:19 |
| silverarrow | ASCII ? | 18:20 |
| joe__462 | well my wife and i need to get ready and go to the movies :) | 18:20 |
| joe__462 | we gonna watch 'possession' | 18:21 |
| joe__462 | so i'll be back later | 18:21 |
| silverarrow | xorg core | 18:21 |
| joe__462 | thank for all the help silver and i'll see you later | 18:21 |
| silverarrow | not much help though | 18:21 |
| silverarrow | joe__462, if you post on the ubuntu forum, there is usually every quick replies | 18:22 |
| silverarrow | withing three minutes | 18:22 |
| IboS | hello | 18:49 |
| IboS | here a fact | 18:49 |
| IboS | i'm connecting with ssh on a lubuntu desktop machine | 18:50 |
| IboS | this machine is on login screen | 18:50 |
| IboS | when i want via ssh launch the cmd alsamixer i can't | 18:50 |
| IboS | is there a way to launch alsa at boot before login ? | 18:51 |
| IboS | and have sound by the way | 18:51 |
| silverarrow | not shure | 18:58 |
| silverarrow | can`t you just launch alsa in terminal like usual ? | 18:58 |
| IboS | silverarrow: how to do that? | 19:01 |
| IboS | sudo service alsa start ? | 19:01 |
| silverarrow | just open terminal and write alsamixer | 19:01 |
| silverarrow | menu-accessories-LXterminal | 19:01 |
| silverarrow | it launches alsamixer and it can easily be adjusted | 19:02 |
| silverarrow | you don`t need sudo or any commands | 19:02 |
| silverarrow | you maneuver it with arrows sideways and up-down | 19:03 |
| silverarrow | and F-keys | 19:03 |
| IboS | well i'm on ssh | 19:03 |
| IboS | i sshed to the machine | 19:03 |
| silverarrow | oh, | 19:03 |
| IboS | the actual state of the machine : login screen | 19:03 |
| bioterror | alsamixer can be run from ssh session | 19:04 |
| bioterror | should not be a problem | 19:04 |
| bioterror | as I have done it too many times on different computers | 19:04 |
| silverarrow | as long as you get the terminal windows | 19:04 |
| IboS | well it says can't open no such file or directory i can solve the problem by manually login on the machine but i want it different :) | 19:05 |
| IboS | on previous version of lubuntu it worked pretty fine | 19:05 |
| IboS | well | 19:08 |
| IboS | i learnt that at login a sound device is created | 19:09 |
| IboS | how to create it before then ? | 19:09 |
| bioterror | what? | 19:11 |
| bioterror | alsa is loaded on boot | 19:11 |
| wxl | i just did grep alsa on every log i have and everything i get is terminations not startups | 19:14 |
| wxl | it would make sense though that alsa would be started on a per-user basis, i.e. at login, rather that on boot | 19:14 |
| wxl | honetly this might be a question better answered by #alsa | 19:15 |
| gomiboy | it's pulseaudio that has a per user daemon, not alsa, just saying... | 19:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | is Lubuntu better for a low-RAM, low-power HP Mini 110 netbook that is at least 3 years old? | 21:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | better than Ubuntu or Xubuntu | 21:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | (Kubuntu's not an option :P) | 21:14 |
| Unit193 | Kubuntu is actually more of an option than Ubuntu is, as far as ram usage and CPU. | 21:15 |
| Unit193 | And depends on the specs. | 21:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | Unit193: well, i'm kinda in "Panic" mode atm... | 21:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | given the fact the main linux fubar'd itself on that system | 21:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | give me a minute | 21:16 |
| Unit193 | Soo.... Install it and findout then? | 21:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | *digs around for his specs on that machine* | 21:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | Unit193: Bandwidth limits | 21:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | can't go downloading each version and testing | 21:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | (Kubuntu's not an option, the netbook can't handle the graphics) | 21:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | (tried back in Natty) | 21:17 |
| Unit193 | And it can with Unity? Lubuntu is ligher than Xubuntu, so ther is that. | 21:17 |
| TheLordOfTime | Unity runs, a tad sluggishly though | 21:17 |
| TheLordOfTime | i put Ubuntu 11.04 on here because that's the LiveUSB I had around at the time | 21:17 |
| TheLordOfTime | but now its purge-and-install-new time, so... | 21:17 |
| TheLordOfTime | but yeah, lemme dig up the specs | 21:18 |
| TheLordOfTime | they're stored on at least *one* of my fileservers here... :p | 21:18 |
| Unit193 | Right, well it's a tad sluggish on 500MHz, but using 227M of 512 (stuff open) | 21:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | its got 2008MB RAM, an Intel Atom N270 processor, an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (using shared memory, up to 128MB), and has a 160GB hard drive. | 21:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | i upgraded the ram from 1GB, apparently it takes some RAM to the graphics) | 21:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | i'll try Lubuntu, i'm quite tired of Unity :P | 21:27 |
| TheLordOfTime | of course, i could always to a netinst :P | 21:27 |
| TheLordOfTime | but that takes longerish | 21:27 |

| W4sp | eeeeeee | 22:35 |
| TheLordOfTime | Unit193: loadtime is SOO MUCH FASTER with Lubuntu on this machine | 22:37 |
| TheLordOfTime | :P | 22:37 |
| W4sp | Sorry, that wasn't intended as you may have guessed already. | 22:37 |
| TheLordOfTime | :P | 22:37 |
| TheLordOfTime | W4sp: stuff happens :P | 22:37 |
| Unit193 | W4sp: I had to resist saying "I'm not cleaning that up." | 22:37 |
| Unit193 | TheLordOfTime: As it should be. | 22:38 |
| W4sp | I didn't fell asleep though. | 22:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | Unit193: lol @ resisting. and it is indeed much faster on this netbook | 22:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | MUCH MORE RAM IS FREE | 22:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | whoops caps | 22:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | Unit193: guess what else i found when i was looking at the system in the Live environment. I found the blasphemous Windows XP on the system. | 22:39 |
