| Floorduck | Hi, I'm a new-to-linux user who has just installed Lubuntu on his laptop. Everything seems to be working, but am I missing something? Is configuration required for my specfic hardware? | 01:57 |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapshot | Floorduck Not if everything seems to be working | 01:57 |
| Fersure | ^ | 01:58 |
| Floorduck | Okay, so there isn't any routine configuration process that I have to go through; good. | 02:02 |
| Floorduck | I've noticed that the internet is a bit slow, though :l | 02:02 |
| Cheapshot | have you installed all the updates? | 02:03 |
| Floorduck | I frequently get 137 errors on chromium. | 02:03 |
| Floorduck | I completed the updates when prompted. | 02:04 |
| Floorduck | I have no clue what I'm doing, though, so maybe you're referring to something else. Sorry... | 02:04 |
| Cheapshot | what kind of computer are you running? | 02:06 |
| Floorduck | An msi laptop. I'll find the specs in a moment; one sec. | 02:08 |
| Floorduck | This is the laptop: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152354CVF | 02:11 |
| Cheapshot | does the wifi connection keep disconnecting? | 02:14 |
| Floorduck | I'm not sure. The connection has been at 70% every time I've checked. Even when I get that error I think it's still connected... | 02:17 |
| === CTtechguy_ is now known as CTtechguy | ||
| Floorduck | It also gets really slow without giving me the error... | 02:18 |
| Cheapshot | just the browsing or is everything else slow? | 02:18 |
| Floorduck | Just the browsing. | 02:19 |
| Cheapshot | www.speedtest.net | 02:20 |
| Floorduck | Haha... I don't think I have flash of javascript :( | 02:21 |
| Floorduck | or* | 02:21 |
| Cheapshot | ah | 02:21 |
| * Fersure always tends to install the lubuntu-restricted-extras package after a fresh install. | 02:22 | |
| * Floorduck is 12 and what is this | 02:22 | |
| Floorduck | I don't have a clue what I'm doing :p | 02:23 |
| Fersure | Floorduck: Open up a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:23 |
| Fersure | that will install flash, some fonts and such | 02:23 |
| Cheapshot | to open terminal press ctrl + alt + t | 02:24 |
| Fersure | ^also this | 02:24 |
| Floorduck | it says unable to locate package | 02:25 |
| Fersure | try doing: sudo apt-get update | 02:25 |
| Cheapshot | type sudo apt-get update | 02:25 |
| Floorduck | typo... sorry -_- | 02:25 |
| Fersure | snap. | 02:26 |
| Floorduck | Okay now it's doing things. | 02:26 |
| Cheapshot | when people help here almost everything is trough terminal so get used to it :D | 02:27 |
| Cheapshot | you can also use GUI to do most of the things but its just simpler to advice trough terminal and commands | 02:28 |
| Floorduck | I'd rather get used to the terminal anyway | 02:28 |
| Floorduck | I don't want to be entirely computer illiterate forever xD | 02:29 |
| Cheapshot | you can use tab to fill rest of the commands on terminal | 02:30 |
| Cheapshot | just as tip | 02:30 |
| Floorduck | Okay... I can type commands again... does that mean it's done? | 02:30 |
| Cheapshot | yes its done | 02:30 |
| Cheapshot | also do sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:30 |
| Floorduck | just as I said that it notified me that the flash plugin was installed >.> | 02:30 |
| Floorduck | what's that do? | 02:30 |
| Cheapshot | that will install all the latest updates | 02:31 |
| Cheapshot | if there is any | 02:31 |
| Floorduck | okay | 02:31 |
| Floorduck | its apparently still doing stuff | 02:31 |
| Floorduck | Let me configure pidgin on the laptop so I can paste output... | 02:32 |
| Cheapshot | !paste | 02:33 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 02:33 |
| Cheapshot | easier and doesnt flood the channel | 02:33 |
| Floorduck | of course | 02:36 |
| Floorduck | Do I need to disconnect on this client to access the server on the other? | 02:37 |
| Cheapshot | what client are you using? | 02:37 |
| Floorduck | pidgin | 02:38 |
| Cheapshot | No you can connect with another client also, just the name cannot be same :) | 02:38 |
| Floorduck | its irc.freenode.net, right? | 02:48 |
| Floorduck | it says error resolving irc.freenode.net | 02:48 |
| Cheapshot | yes | 02:50 |
| Cheapshot | does it say anything else? | 02:50 |
| Floorduck | temporary failure in name resolution | 02:50 |
| Cheapshot | maybe try one of these http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml | 02:58 |
| === CTtechguy_ is now known as CTtechguy | ||
| Floorduck2 | okay it worked :) | 03:06 |
| Floorduck | It says "idconfig deferred processing now taking place" | 03:08 |
| Floorduck | but I cant tell if its doing anything | 03:09 |
| Floorduck | It's telling me that it failed to download extra files. "ttf-mscore-fonts-installer" is the package name. | 03:11 |
| Cheapshot | ah | 03:11 |
| Floorduck | it gave me that before and I chose "try again" | 03:11 |
| Floorduck | and I got the same message | 03:11 |
| Cheapshot | that comes when you do the restricted-extras? | 03:16 |
| Cheapshot | check that you dont have update manager running | 03:18 |
| Cheapshot | or synaptic package manager | 03:18 |
| Floorduck | its just one package | 03:25 |
| Floorduck | ttf-mscorefonts-installer "requested additional data downloads after package installation but the data could not be downloaded or processed | 03:26 |
| Floorduck | Is there any way to check the degree of completion | 03:31 |
| Floorduck | of that installer package? | 03:31 |
| Floorduck | I think it finished and I closed it, but now im worried that other things were left unfinished as well. | 03:31 |
| Cheapshot | try sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 03:32 |
| Cheapshot | and you can always just sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras again, it will install whats missing, if any | 03:33 |
| Floorduck | is it intelligent enough to know what I've already installer? | 03:34 |
| Floorduck | installed* | 03:34 |
| Cheapshot | yes | 03:35 |
| Cheapshot | you cant install the same thing twice | 03:35 |
| Floorduck | okay so it says its all done | 03:43 |
| Floorduck | my internet is still inconsistent at best | 03:43 |
| Floorduck | I even tried the speed test and I got a latency error from it | 03:44 |
| Floorduck | and then a 137 error from chromium | 03:44 |
| Floorduck | I checked the wireless icon in the toolbar and the wireless was still working, apparently ;l | 03:44 |
| Cheapshot | is it possible to try it with a wired connection if its still slow | 03:45 |
| Cheapshot | and you could try installing a different browser and test it with it | 03:45 |
| Floorduck | flash is working now, though | 03:45 |
| Floorduck | thanks for that | 03:45 |
| Floorduck | I think tested a wired conenction makes the most sense from a diagnostic perspective | 03:46 |
| Floorduck | but its not the most convenient option :P | 03:46 |
| Cheapshot | sudo apt-get install firefox | 03:46 |
| Floorduck | do programs leave config/system files when they're uninstalled like some windows programs do? | 03:47 |
| Cheapshot | usually they shouldnt | 03:47 |
| Floorduck | I've noticed my windows machines get slower over time | 03:48 |
| Cheapshot | you can uninstall a program or a packet by sudo apt-get remove "packetname" | 03:48 |
| Floorduck | I often do a fresh install to combat that :l | 03:48 |
| Cheapshot | try the firefox though | 03:48 |
| Floorduck | it's installing | 03:48 |
| Cheapshot | type iwconfig on terminal and check what it says on bit rate= | 03:54 |
| Floorduck | 1Mb/s | 04:12 |
| Cheapshot | well there is your problem | 04:13 |
| Cheapshot | gues its somekind of driver issue for the wireless | 04:13 |
| Cheapshot | type lspci -nn | grep 0280 | 04:14 |
| Floorduck | is that an l | 04:27 |
| Floorduck | or a | ? | 04:28 |
| Floorduck | or an I? | 04:28 |
| Cheapshot | | | 04:28 |
| Floorduck | i L or |? | 04:28 |
| Floorduck | sorry :P | 04:28 |
| Cheapshot | not i not L | 04:28 |
| Cheapshot | just a line | 04:28 |
| TheMaster | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_bar | 04:30 |
| === TheMaster is now known as Unit193 | ||
| Floorduck | it said symtax error newar unexpected token: "|" | 04:45 |
| Floorduck | I was writing the first l as |, my mistake. | 04:46 |
| Floorduck | It says: "03:00.0 Newtork controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 [8086:008a] (rev 34)" | 04:47 |
| Cheapshot | try this cat /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf options iwlagn 11n_disable50=1 11n_disable=1 | 04:58 |
| Floorduck | no such file or directory | 05:03 |
| Cheapshot | try if this helps sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off | 05:05 |
| Floorduck | I can see the PCB under my keyboard... I wonder if thats bad... anyway | 05:06 |
| Floorduck | I did that, ill try the internet now | 05:06 |
| Cheapshot | yeah it should take off the powersave from the wifi | 05:07 |
| Floorduck | surely having powersave mode on | 05:08 |
| Floorduck | should not be so detrimental to the internet performance | 05:08 |
| Floorduck | that I can't even access websites | 05:08 |
| Floorduck | I don't understand :l | 05:08 |
| Cheapshot | its a bug on some wifi cards | 05:08 |
| Cheapshot | that it keeps turning it off time to time | 05:08 |
| Floorduck | Well it's lagging :( | 05:09 |
| Floorduck | It worked perfectly and youtube loaded in a second... | 05:09 |
| Floorduck | and then when i typed in search terms and pressed enter it got stuck... | 05:09 |
| Floorduck | should I reenable it? | 05:12 |
| Cheapshot | yeah you can | 05:12 |
| Floorduck | how do I do that? | 05:14 |
| Floorduck | same command but with 1s? | 05:14 |
| Cheapshot | same command but "power on" | 05:14 |
| Floorduck | disable50=1 and disable=1 instead? | 05:15 |
| Floorduck | oh | 05:15 |
| Floorduck | Whoops, reading from the wrong thing. | 05:15 |
| Floorduck | I'm tired.. aha :l | 05:15 |
| Floorduck | any other ideas at this point in time? before testing wired? | 05:23 |
| Cheapshot | well im pretty sure its the wifi drivers wich are causing it to have a problem but dont know howto fix it. Maybe you should ask in #ubuntu if anyone there knew | 05:25 |
| Cheapshot | just remember to give the model of the laptop and the model of the wifi = Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 | 05:26 |
| Floorduck | is it okay to give them the newegg link? | 05:27 |
| Floorduck | or will they frown and shake their heads in disapproval | 05:27 |
| Floorduck | virtually speaking | 05:27 |
| Cheapshot | MSI X Series X460DX-423US for model is enough | 05:27 |
| Floorduck | alright thanks a lot | 05:28 |

| Ascavasaion | I am running an old AMD 2500+ XP, 384Mb RAM, with 20Gb, 60Gb and 20Gb HDDs. What is the best Filesystem to format to... ext 3 or 4? | 15:16 |
| bioterror | depends | 15:19 |
| bioterror | EXT4 is the golden path | 15:19 |
| bioterror | if you want different kind of performance for different kind of stuff, then it depends if you want XFS/JFS or ReiserFS | 15:19 |
| bioterror | XFS is my favourite for huge files ;) | 15:20 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: Thank you, ext4 it is :) | 15:21 |

| Ascavasaion | HOw do I get Chromium to open Transmission torrent programme when I open a link. It is popping up a window warning me that it may be an attack. It asks me to continue or not and when I say yes it opens another Chromium instance and goes to my default homepage. And not Transmission. | 17:10 |
| === Cheapshot_ is now known as Cheapshot | ||
| Ascavasaion | Cheapshot: Having fun? :) | 17:42 |
| Cheapshot | ? | 17:42 |
| Ascavasaion | Just pulling you leg about your joins and quits. No hard feelings. :) | 17:43 |
| Cheapshot | yeah configuring hexchat :), but I think i finally got it to work | 17:43 |
| Unit193 | Is that in quantal repos yet? | 17:44 |
| TheLordOfTime | !info hexchat quantal | 17:45 |
| ubottu | Package hexchat does not exist in quantal | 17:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | !info xchat quantal | 17:45 |
| ubottu | xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.8-3ubuntu15 (quantal), package size 345 kB, installed size 869 kB | 17:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | ... lol? | 17:45 |
| Cheapshot | Sometimes I venture to windows ^^ | 17:47 |
| zleap | same here | 17:48 |
| Unit193 | Understandable, it does build in linux too though, that's why I asked. May want to set your server pass as nick:pass though. ;) | 17:49 |
| TheLordOfTime | afaict its still xchat, Unit193, in linux | 17:49 |
| Unit193 | TheLordOfTime: Hexchat isn't xchat, it is a renamed xchat-wdk. | 17:49 |
| TheLordOfTime | Unit193, indeed :p | 17:49 |
| TheLordOfTime | Unit193, same difference? :P | 17:49 |
| Unit193 | Anywho, bit offtopic... | 17:49 |
| * TheLordOfTime yawns | 17:49 | |
| Cheapshot | Unit193, servers pass? | 17:52 |
| Unit193 | hexchat has a server password field in the network list, this should make it so you are identified faster and even if using an alternick (in case this is already in use) | 17:53 |
| Cheapshot | Unit193, how does that differ from the nickserv pass? | 17:55 |
| Unit193 | Should send it before you join channels as it sends it when connecting to the server rather than after. | 17:56 |
| Cheapshot | k, gotta do it | 17:57 |
| Ascavasaion | HOw do I get Chromium to open Transmission torrent programme when I open a link. It is popping up a window warning me that it may be an attack. It asks me to continue or not and when I say yes it opens another Chromium instance and goes to my default homepage. And not Transmission. | 17:57 |
| Unit193 | Ascavasaion: Tried something like http://askubuntu.com/questions/44849/how-to-configure-chrome-to-open-magnet-urls-with-deluge ? | 18:01 |
| Ascavasaion | Unit193: Trying it right now. | 18:09 |
| Ascavasaion | Unit193: Well, if that works then I do not know how to do it hehe Still nothing. | 18:10 |
| Unit193 | Ascavasaion: Changed from deluge to transmission and from magnet to torrent? | 18:10 |
| Ascavasaion | Unit193: Which solution there? Seems like there are many different options. | 18:14 |
| Unit193 | Normally you'd go for the top one, but as I nither use Chromium or transmission, harder to check what the .desktop files with them have already... | 18:16 |
| Ascavasaion | I am not using Deluge though. | 18:19 |
| Ascavasaion | What torrent softare would you say has the most features and nicest to use then? | 18:19 |
| Ascavasaion | Obviously a Lubuntu one :) | 18:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | "most features"? | 18:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | "nicest to use"? | 18:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | the second part is subjective | 18:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | as for "most features", not sure why you'd want tons of features for torrents :/ | 18:23 |
| bioterror | rtorrent | 18:24 |
| bioterror | but honestly transmission-gtk is my weapon of choice, becouse it has a working web-ui | 18:25 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: Point taken :) | 18:25 |
| bioterror | I might be at work, at my parents, at in-law's and I can put tv show for download ;) | 18:26 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: Yes, but I cannot get Chromium magnet links to open in Transmission | 18:26 |
| bioterror | or ubuntu release | 18:26 |
| bioterror | that's a xdg problem | 18:27 |
| bioterror | Ascavasaion, /usr/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop | 18:31 |
| bioterror | check that one | 18:31 |
| bioterror | if you have following line | 18:31 |
| bioterror | MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;x-scheme-handler/magnet; | 18:31 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: That line is already there. | 18:33 |
| bioterror | also: Exec=transmission-gtk %U | 18:34 |
| bioterror | with the %U? | 18:34 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: yes | 18:35 |
| bioterror | good | 18:35 |
| bioterror | http://www.void.gr/kargig/blog/2012/01/24/open-magnet-urls-with-xdg-open/ | 18:35 |
| Ascavasaion | Okay done... let's see... opening Chromium. | 18:45 |
| * bioterror holds his breath and crosses fingers | 18:45 | |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: Naaah, never worked. | 18:53 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: I changed both the home/joel/bin copy AND the /usr/bin one. Neither one worked. I restarted Chromium each time. | 18:55 |
| Ascavasaion | Hell but this is frustrating | 19:12 |
| Ascavasaion | Yes!!! Got it!!! | 19:12 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: If you want to know what eventually worked... this http://www.foresightlinux.se/make-chromium-or-chrome-to-open-magnet-links-in-lxde/ | 19:17 |
| Ascavasaion | HOw would one add shortcuts like Documents, Downloads, etc. to the bottom of PCManFM's side pane? Like Nautilus has. | 19:39 |
| bioterror | you can add bookmarks :-) | 19:41 |
| Ascavasaion | WOW, so simple? Awesome! Thank you. I am falling in love with this Lubuntu woman :) | 19:42 |
| bioterror | it's more like tom of finland kind of guy! ;) | 19:43 |

| bioterror | mrojas6996, tell us more | 21:17 |
| bioterror | then we might help you | 21:17 |
| mrojas6996 | very well, I have a EPSON LX-810L Dot Matrix Printer, and i'm experimented problems with the print | 21:18 |
| mrojas6996 | for example, the Ubuntu's print test page, is printed with draft, NQL and good quality | 21:18 |
| mrojas6996 | but documents made in LibreOffice Writer, is printed without draft, and NQL and very horrible | 21:19 |
| mrojas6996 | the print with libreoffice is a disaster | 21:19 |
| mrojas6996 | What can it be? | 21:20 |
| mrojas6996 | my english is experimental, jeje, sorry! | 21:21 |
| bioterror | your english is good, but I have no idea what could be wrong with the prints | 21:21 |
| mrojas6996 | the printer is connected with a Centronics-to-USB adapter cable | 21:21 |
| bioterror | but I have to flee to bed, it's 00:22 and I have to get up in about 5 hours ;) | 21:22 |
| bioterror | maybe someone with printer can test your document, for example? | 21:22 |
| bioterror | my printer is atm. at my parents. I'll get it back soon | 21:22 |
| mrojas6996 | Ok, thanks anyway | 21:25 |
| kanliot | what's best way to determine if a user has pulseaudio running? pgrep -l pulse, or run pavucontrol to see if installed? | 21:27 |
| Sentynel | kanliot: pavucontrol doesn't have to be installed for pulseaudio to work. checking for the pulse process is probably the best bet | 21:28 |
| kanliot | so the pgrep -l pulse is good? | 21:29 |
| Sentynel | yeah | 21:29 |
| kanliot | thx :) | 21:30 |
