[00:45] <_schism_> evening all [00:46] <_schism_> I have a stupid question. coming back to lubuntu after going to some other distros and im in the live installer and have a stupid question. I chose the custom intall type and now I am at the select the device screen. if I remember correctly sda is where I want the bootloader to go correct? [01:04] most likely [01:04] do you have other choices? [01:43] does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 beta? [01:43] sudo do-release-upgrade -d is generally the way to do it, just remember that it is still in beta. [01:45] thanks a lot [02:01] what is the best route to post my qa test results? [02:02] mailing list or bug report? [02:02] LuvLinuxOS: right in the test [02:03] LuvLinuxOS: you make an account and your results get logged there [02:04] i have a launchpad account [02:04] Uses Ubuntu/Launchpad SSO. [02:05] holstein I know that I am new but can you be more specific [02:06] LuvLinuxOS: when you do a test.. you "start" the test case.. there are things to fill out there [02:06] LuvLinuxOS: AFAIK, it uses LP like Unit193 says [02:07] oh [02:07] LuvLinuxOS: i would just go there and try and log some information [02:07] LuvLinuxOS: you'll be asked to log in.. try the LP account [02:08] LuvLinuxOS: thats where to put that information... anywhere else and it will get lost and not count [02:08] thanks what is the entire hyperlink [02:10] http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/ is where i would start [02:10] http://qa.ubuntu.com/ [02:11] thx holstein and Unit193 [02:11] Sure thing. [07:55] Hi, I need french help for Lubuntu please [07:56] !fr [07:56] Nous sommes désolés, mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [07:56] thanks! [08:03] Is it possible to connect to a wifi network without having a password request? [08:04] so, i am still having issues with the desktop running lubuntu OS not receiving the full speed of my internet service [08:04] anyone able to help resolve it will get $x.xx into their paypal account [08:05] that is in USD [08:05] i will reveal one of the numbers to help inspire potential talents for my mission [08:06] $0.xx [08:06] wireless behind a router? LubuntuPowered [08:06] wired. [08:07] i would ask on the forum theres stuff you can try like turning off ipv6 [08:08] hmm [08:08] i don't know how that would affect anything [08:09] no it actually works for some people [08:11] ok, tried it [08:12] no affect it seems [10:23] hi, every time, after booting and accessing to the desktop, a popup with "system error" appears. Then I click to "no" and continue using the OS normally. Is there a way to avoid this popup? [10:40] system error sounds nice [10:47] should be investigated [10:47] on every bootup? [10:48] apport can ignore errors if you tell it 2 [10:48] there are always tons of errors I think [10:49] they don`t always apply to the running system [11:11] kanliot: how an I make it ignore? [11:19] ] kanliot: how an I make it ignore? [11:41] faLUCE, when the dialog show it might have something liek "show this error next time" [11:54] how do i need to configure alsa so that processes using the audio output don't block each other? [11:56] jackd [11:56] !jackd [11:56] !jack [11:56] trololooo [12:08] jackd: Audio device hw:0 cannot be acquired [12:27] i already tried pulseaudio but this causes even more problems [12:27] there must be some way to get this workign? [12:28] my friend told me to use windows with my guitar recording and drum projects :D [12:29] i am sure there is a guitar tab program for linux [12:30] I think there was [12:31] tuxguitar? [17:04] hello. I am doing a distro upgrade and I got this message: Replace customized configuration file? '/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades' [17:04] yes [17:05] replace it? [17:05] yes [17:05] ok, thanks === _slipknot is now known as miniCruzer [20:38] Hi, may be there is somewhere out here who could help me on this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12266827#post12266827 [20:51] Farinet: /usr/share/lubuntu/openbox/menu.xml would that be what you're looking for? [20:54] Unit193: Isn't that the menu that shows up when you rightclick on the desktop? If so it's not, what i'm looking for. My problem is the application menu topic in the panel where shows up the programs under the super topics like Office, Graphics, Audio/Video, Accessories ecc. ecc. [21:46] ok, not the place to get lubuntu help, got it:) [21:47] NotLarry: ? [21:47] !ask | NotLarry [21:47] NotLarry: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [21:47] he didn't ask to ask, Unit193 [21:47] he didn't say a darn thing [21:47] that's different! [21:47] wxl: ESP it, darn it! [21:48] * wxl tries real hard [21:48] * wxl is still trying [21:48] i see… a mouse! [21:48] now what could it mean? [21:48] in any case, NotLarry, we're just having fun here while we wait to help you. you have to initiate it, though! [21:49] still googling it, thanks. [21:49] you're googling what to ask? :) [22:37] Hello, which one is the superior interface, and why? Xfce or LXDE? Thank you! [22:38] kroson: which is the superior fruit, and why? apples or bananas? [22:38] !crosspost | kroson [22:38] kroson: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [22:39] also don't ask for an objective answer to a subjective question. :/ [22:40] lol [22:40] wxl: i didn't say you had to give and objective answer, your opinion should be just fine [22:40] that wasn't entirely clear [22:41] i prefer lxde over any other desktop environment because it's lightweight and simple. i don't need frills. they slow me down. yet, it's full featured enough that i don't find myself wishing for things, nor feeling like i'm cursing my family members or friends by suggesting it to them. [22:42] wxl: wonderful, thank you :) [22:43] kroson: also better use of system resources; it can work where xfce can't (on old or limited hardware) [22:43] i don't dislike xfce, though [22:43] i have stronger and less complimentary feelings about unity, but i digress [22:46] wxl: may i also know your problems with xfce? [22:48] i don't have problems with it per se [22:49] i just have found on limited hardware, it doens't do as good of a job [22:49] it's got some extra fanciness, which i don't need [22:49] lxde is like goldilocks and the three bears: just right [23:18] I can not get my video to play full screen with Gnome mplayer, lubuntu 12.04, kernel 3.2.0-31-generic with an acer one AO751h (gma500_gfx). [23:19] I swear this was working. Lent my kid my netbook and he put windows 7 on it, I reinstall lubuntu and it no workie [23:23] what exactly happens? [23:23] NotLarry: ↑ [23:25] with nothing selected in Video Output I get a regular window where the video plays. Fullscreening it leaves the same video size playing with a black fullscreen behind it (an artifact may remain int he background) [23:25] Doubleing the screen size leaves it the same size [23:26] Actually if I turn off Video Harware support I can get a full screen but of course, software driven (crawled). [23:32] so the size of the video never changes [23:32] i have 12.04 and i don't have this problem at all [23:32] but i don't have that hardware [23:32] Not while hardware support is on in preferences [23:33] Your video output may be set to x11. Change the video output in mplayer preferences to xv. ??? [23:34] i see another reference that suggests x11 (opengl) and not x11 (shm) [23:37] i see another reference specific to the hardware suggesting adding -va vaapi -vo vaapi to command line switches [23:37] NotLarry: let me know if that gets you anywhere [23:39] command line options for mplayer [23:42] you should be able to tweak that in gnome-mplayer preferences [23:42] remember it's only a front end [23:43] Edit → Preferences → MPlayer → Extra Options to MPlayer [23:44] it also looks like an option in output too [23:44] at least in 12.10 [23:45] Strange. [23:45] ? [23:47] sorry, talking to myself out loud:) [23:50] but did it work? :) [23:51] oh, no, not yet. [23:51] reading mplayer man page [23:51] ah [23:51] i suspect the issue has something to do with that hardware [23:52] it's quite possible that some always-used or default option has changed either between lubuntu versions or gnome-mplayer versions [23:52] Yeah, I could swear this is the same lubuntu I had installed. [23:53] but gnome-mplayer versions could have changed [23:53] could be. [23:54] there has been at least one update http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/universe/base/gnome-mplayer
