| cdoublejj | I enjoy Lubuntu. Lubuntu is what Ubuntu should have been. Lubuntu does a lot of stuff right even the little things like shipping with Chromium instead of firefox. I can sync all my addons and themes by just signing in to chromium. | 02:57 |
|---|---|---|
| cdoublejj | LXDE is another great choice no tablet based unity stuff, LXDE is whata menu bar should be, simple. | 02:58 |
| Fersure | ya | 02:58 |
| cdoublejj | When Steam for Linux beta comes i'm definitely gonna try it lubuntu | 02:59 |
| redderhs | I'm glad someone's as happy as I am. I did swap around a lot of the stock applications for my own personal preferences, but lubuntu is great, couldn't see myself using a different distro other than this. | 02:59 |
| redderhs | same here cdoublejj: cant wait for CSGO or CSS support =] | 02:59 |
| cdoublejj | well i'm not ditching windows, i'm definitely a gamer but, i like using other oses like OSX x86 and linux (Lubuntu) | 02:59 |
| cdoublejj | The indie humble bundle already comes with linux supported games, iwas suprised to see PPhysconaughts and Rochard on there | 03:00 |
| redderhs | I ditched Windows just a few days ago; never turning back. | 03:00 |
| cdoublejj | though they may be cop out wine setup thingy | 03:00 |
| cdoublejj | I like windows it does what i want and i know the back end pretty well just not the super advanced stuff and can make it do what i want, i find it just as customizable as linux how ever being so familiar with windows i like breath of fresh air and play with linux | 03:02 |
| cdoublejj | after seeing Lubuntu i see some advantages over windows specially for people who only use their machines for internet only. | 03:03 |
| redderhs | I only wish I discovered Lubuntu earlier | 03:05 |
| cdoublejj | So this is interesting i got my new lubuntu install going on real hardware and it locks up after about minute, i know it's not hard lock because i can still work the numlock | 03:13 |
| cdoublejj | does it have any known problems with nividia cards or chipsets? | 03:14 |
| redderhs | not sure, i have a discreet nvidia 550m, but i'm running intel hd3000 as a main | 03:14 |
| cdoublejj | and it's always right after boot | 03:19 |
| cdoublejj | so i reinstalled and updated the installer first and opted to not download updates while installing and it didn't help, it stilll ocks up just after booting on to the desktop | 04:16 |
| redderhs | maybe you should try posting on the forums | 04:17 |
| redderhs | that or you could try waiting for someone to come about around here that may have an idea of what you could try | 04:18 |
| redderhs | I hope you do find a solution though. | 04:23 |
| cdoublejj | me to | 04:27 |
| cdoublejj | might just have to post on the forums | 04:27 |
| redderhs | is your pc one you built yourself? | 04:27 |
| cdoublejj | yeah | 04:30 |
| redderhs | What kind of Video Card do you have? make / model? | 04:30 |
| cdoublejj | nvidia BFG GTS250 1gb | 04:30 |
| cdoublejj | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143191 | 04:31 |
| redderhs | what mobo? | 04:33 |
| cdoublejj | Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe | 04:46 |
| redderhs | I dont think i've ever had a Linux distro lock up on boot.. | 04:51 |
| redderhs | So i'm kinda at a loss of what to provide, for steps. | 04:52 |
| cdoublejj | well it locks up just after booting after bringing up the desktop | 04:52 |
| redderhs | If I was in your shoes and was set in my ways on figuring out why, I'd trial and error by taking out a component; like say the video card and see if that changes anything. | 04:53 |
| redderhs | And this wasn't happening with any other linux distros? | 04:53 |
| holstein | or just force the vesa driver.. | 04:58 |
| holstein | id like to try ALT+F2 or some other tty and see if those are up during that lock as well | 04:58 |
| cdoublejj | i wouldn't know the only other os i run is windows 7 | 05:07 |
| redderhs | alt + f2 would open up a run window | 05:10 |
| redderhs | does it do it? | 05:10 |
| cdoublejj | alt + f2? i t was reading ctrl + alt+ f2, i'll give that a try | 05:52 |
| cdoublejj | so i f2ed before it locked up, basically it's a total lock up but, i can still use num locks .... and i just realized i have switch and numlock always works. i'm gonna go ahead and hook the keyboar straigh to the machine and see f it truley hard locks and if it does i'm gonna save bio settings and go back stock settings (no oc) and see how that goes | 06:20 |
| cdoublejj | i tried lowering my clocks already and that didn't help i'll see how settingthem stock goes , i'm gonna guess not same thing, if so then i reinstall on stock clocks and see how that goes | 06:21 |
| cdoublejj | too bad i don't any thing about retrieving logs | 06:21 |
| cdoublejj | live boot runs fine oced or otherwise | 06:31 |
| cdoublejj | whats the deal it has to be some program or driver that once it loads locks the whole system | 06:31 |
| cdoublejj | for the heck of it i'm gonna un hook the network cable and install that way | 06:58 |
| cdoublejj | I figured out the cause of my locks ups | 09:09 |

| wiben | Hi, I'm trying to boot Lubuntu 12.04 from live usb on Packard Bell DotS2 Netbook. I've checked the usb stick on 2 other computers, it works fine. However on the netbook it blocks the boot with some information message about, Intel PineVIEW and Disassembly Prohibited. I don't even get to the boot menu. Any ideas how to work around this ? | 12:29 |
| holstein | wiben: i would try some options at the alternate grub menu.. pressing shift while booting.. choose under the F6 menu some options like "nomodeset" | 12:33 |
| wiben | holstein, pressing shift doesn't seem to do anything, do i press and hold ? When do i press it ? | 12:39 |
| holstein | wiben: i just tap shift... right after the "bios" stuff.. tap ....tap....tap...tap | 12:41 |
| wiben | I tried that, no effect | 12:42 |
| holstein | wiben: cool.. you can look into "safe graphics mode".. or passing other kernel parameters at boot.. if it were my box, i would just keep throwing live CD's at it til something boots, and note the kernel version | 12:43 |
| wiben | holstein, ok, I wrote Packard Bell but that probably wont do any good, I'll keep trying... | 12:48 |
| holstein | wiben: thats a great idea!.. and troubleshooting the usb stick on other machines is a good idea too | 12:49 |
| wiben | hmm... just tried xubuntu 12.04, now it stops at a message saying: SYSLINUX 4.03 2010-10-22 EDD Copyright... and so on | 12:50 |
| holstein | wiben: i would try that alterate grub menu.. i like using puppy linux too since there is a nice wizard that pops up to force the vesa driver | 12:52 |
| wiben | tried typing "help" <enter>, read somewhere that it might do something also tried tapping shift | 12:52 |
| wiben | no luck | 12:52 |
| holstein | wiben: "help" wont help... | 12:53 |
| wiben | holstein, :) worth a shot | 12:53 |
| holstein | wiben: i would either, give up on the legacy hardware, or try a live CD from that "era"... or try a puppy/knoppix/some other live CD that might get to a desktop | 12:53 |
| wiben | holstein, lets give puppy a try, sound cute | 12:55 |

| tweakster | hi. I am looking at a LXDE desktop for Lubuntu, and this is the first LXDE environment I have used.I was previously more accustomed to having most of the programs plainly visible from a desktop GUI, but LXDE has me wondering where to start up some of these programs. For example, ... | 19:55 |
| tweakster | I can see in the Synaptic Package Manager that a package called "gnome-disk-utility" was installed, but there is no icon that I can find on the menu where one would start this program. I searched online for it, and one of the references stated that it would install to /usr/share/gnome-disk-utility, but I can't see any folder with that name. I searched for a manual using LXTerminal, but nothing showed up. So I am at a bit of | 19:56 |
| tweakster | Can someone offer a pointer as a general rule for the approach to use? :) | 19:56 |
| wxl | tweakster: #1 it's not gonna look like unity, sorry. you can try the netbook interface and that will kind of get you there. | 19:59 |
| wxl | tweakster: #2. there are some packages whose names don't really describe what they do, so the menu items have a different listing. you can right click on the menu item and look at properties to see which command it uses. | 19:59 |
| Unit193 | Could also dpkg -L gnome-disk-utility | 20:00 |
| wxl | you'll also find the actual package name used in /usr/share/applications and you can kind of figure it out that way | 20:01 |
| tweakster | wxl: that last suggestion worked for me and showed a good general approach to finding the programs. thanks for that. :) | 20:08 |
| tweakster | Unit193: I used your method and it did show me some information about it, so I can at least see that it appears to be installed. | 20:09 |
| tweakster | wxl: are all the programs installed going to appear in /usr/share/application? | 20:11 |
| tweakster | i did indeed find the disk-utility in there, and clicking its icon fired it up, sure enough. | 20:11 |
| wxl | tweakster: no, but kind of | 20:15 |
| wxl | in general the only thing you'll see in there are gui items | 20:15 |
| wxl | but you won't see, for example, top or nano | 20:16 |
| bioterror | gnome disk-utility is this Palimpsest | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | My command shows what files it installed, you can use grep to get bin or applications (what command to type, or menu name) | 20:16 |
| wxl | nor will you see things like finch (command line pidgin) were you to install it | 20:16 |
| wxl | bioterror: yes | 20:16 |
| wxl | bioterror: tho now we're moving to Disks/gnome-disks for quntal | 20:17 |
| wxl | </aside> | 20:17 |
| bioterror | probably I'll never move to quantal as my current home laptop cannot run it :D | 20:17 |
| bioterror | lulz | 20:17 |
| Unit193 | Install liquorix kernel, it is non-pae I think. ÑP | 20:19 |
| redderhs | For user generated shortcuts, where does one place them to show up on the lxdemenu? | 20:28 |
| gomiboy | redderhs: you have to make a .desktop file and place it under ~/.local/share/applications | 20:35 |
| redderhs | I was trying there just a few minutes ago, But I found out that the shortcut made with right click didnt have the correct extension | 20:39 |
| redderhs | thank you gomiboy | 20:39 |
| gomiboy | redderhs: mind it's not a simple shortcut, read this: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Menu | 20:40 |
| redderhs | Yes. what i meant to say was, I tried this path you had told me earlier, but the file was not named properly so it was not displayed in the menu | 20:42 |
| redderhs | All is well now. | 20:42 |

| wxl | ah there's a question | 22:04 |
| wxl | ok: xxxterm | 22:04 |
| bioterror | there's no xxxterm anymore | 22:04 |
| bioterror | it's know as xombrero | 22:04 |
| wxl | bull | 22:05 |

| wxl | hahahah | 22:07 |
| bioterror | -m | 22:07 |
| ace___ | what you guys are using as a browser ? | 22:07 |
| bioterror | ace, telnet. ofcourse | 22:07 |
| redderhs | ace___: I guess it comes down to what functions you are looking for and what is considered lightweight to you | 22:07 |
| redderhs | I use FireFox. | 22:07 |
| a_b0y | seamonkey | 22:08 |
| ace___ | hmm | 22:08 |
| wxl | telnet | 22:08 |
| wxl | when i'm not using chromium, w3m :) | 22:08 |
| bioterror | but as redderhs states, we all have different kind of needs | 22:08 |
| redderhs | the best thing to do, is to try out different ones and to see what works best for you | 22:10 |
| bioterror | if you can live without fancy features, midori for example | 22:10 |
| bioterror | some people tends to like Opera | 22:10 |
| wxl | i agree with redderhs although i'll leave my own feelings that i don't like midori. i kind of want to, but i don't. | 22:11 |
| bioterror | yeah, it's quite like the parents in law | 22:11 |
| ace___ | indeed | 22:11 |
| bioterror | you try to like them, but something just clicks with them | 22:11 |
| wxl | :) | 22:11 |
| ace___ | i just found out Arora and it looks good for me from now on | 22:12 |
| bioterror | I like chrome/chromium | 22:12 |
| wxl | i think xombero (if you must) is just right | 22:13 |
| wxl | but most of the time, i use chromium | 22:13 |
| bioterror | syncs all the stuff and I get exactly same UI on both, Xorg and Windows | 22:13 |
| wxl | love that sync feature | 22:13 |
| bioterror | yeah | 22:13 |
| wxl | +1 | 22:13 |
| bioterror | I love to share my stuff with the big G | 22:13 |
| wxl | just waiting for my lg lucid to get the ics update so i can sync to that too | 22:13 |
| bioterror | Opera has this sync feature too | 22:13 |
| wxl | so does ffox | 22:13 |
| bioterror | and also, opera has nice "proxy" ;) | 22:14 |
| bioterror | unfortunately my employer already provides me a .no access if I use VPN | 22:14 |
| Unit193 | arora has been dead a while. | 22:14 |
| bioterror | but good night | 22:15 |
| bioterror | :-) | 22:15 |
| bioterror | I'll let you fight and argue about which browser is lightest and nicest | 22:15 |
| redderhs | take care bioterror | 22:15 |
| bioterror | I think firefox is the one that needs most configuring | 22:15 |
| a_b0y | what is the most secure browser? | 22:15 |
| bioterror | a_b0y, the one that doesnt let you go to public addresses | 22:15 |
| bioterror | I've used chrome on my Windows 7 machine and I do go to the darkest corners of the internet and I have encountered zero problems | 22:16 |
| a_b0y | is it true that everything you type in the chrome address bar is sent to google by default? | 22:16 |
| bioterror | a_b0y, if you sync | 22:16 |
| a_b0y | Big Brother Google. | 22:17 |
| bioterror | it does it really matter? it still knows where you are | 22:17 |
| redderhs | i'll admit, i am weary of using too much products from google =P but chromium is supposed to be open sourced so, if you can read code you should be able to see if such a thing were taking place. | 22:17 |
| bioterror | no matter what browser you use | 22:17 |
| a_b0y | what do you mean | 22:18 |
| bioterror | what do I mean? I mean google analytics for example | 22:18 |
| a_b0y | true, everyone uses that | 22:18 |
| bioterror | I'm using Analytics Blocker | 22:18 |
| redderhs | noscript | 22:18 |
| redderhs | that's one reason why i use firefox. | 22:19 |
| bioterror | and I have http*://* as my wild card | 22:19 |
| a_b0y | i should use no script, but everything doesn't look as pretty | 22:19 |
| wxl | bioterror: what kind of corners? | 22:19 |
| Unit193 | Ghostery. | 22:19 |
| redderhs | it can, if you take the time to find out what layer does what | 22:19 |
| a_b0y | porn | 22:19 |
| wxl | you can use duckduckgo as default | 22:19 |
| wxl | and use https everywhere | 22:20 |
| wxl | duckduckgo = search engine | 22:20 |
| wxl | most secure browser imho is xombero | 22:20 |
| a_b0y | i use https://www.StagePage.com | 22:20 |
| wxl | they like shut everything off as default :) | 22:20 |
| a_b0y | at least my all searches are private | 22:20 |
| wxl | seriously, look it up | 22:20 |
| bioterror | wxl, the ones that burns into your retina | 22:20 |
| wxl | it's light too | 22:20 |
| * wxl remembers that #lubuntu is logged | 22:21 | |
| a_b0y | google knows if you have any illnesses, what your personal interests are, or even what politics you prefer | 22:22 |
| bioterror | yep | 22:22 |
| a_b0y | the CIA would be out of their mind to not be involved with google | 22:22 |
| wxl | a_b0y: i should recommend #tinfoilhatclub | 22:23 |
| bioterror | Greetings to all CIA personnel who hears this channel! o> | 22:23 |
| a_b0y | i hope Blackberry 10 turns out to be a winner | 22:23 |
| wxl | ew | 22:24 |
| bioterror | btw. facebook also knows quite much what you do | 22:24 |
| a_b0y | i don't have facebook, do you? | 22:24 |
| bioterror | ofcourse I do, I like to stalk people | 22:24 |
| a_b0y | lol | 22:24 |
| wxl | pornstars that is | 22:24 |
| bioterror | they are not that active on facebook :( | 22:25 |
| bioterror | but if you are logged into facebook with your browser, all the news sites and other sites which has this "share" button tells that they know what you're surfing | 22:26 |
| bioterror | as it will tell "this and this many friends has liked" or shared | 22:26 |
| * wxl suggests -offtopic | 22:26 | |
| bioterror | internet has changed quite much since the 90's | 22:26 |
| bioterror | that's why I use chrome/chromium as it has quite good blockers that works | 22:26 |
| bioterror | and this magnificent sync | 22:26 |
| a_b0y | a lot of people have facebook accounts, but what percent of those accounts are active regularly? | 22:27 |
| bioterror | a_b0y, quite many | 22:27 |
| redderhs | indeed | 22:27 |
| a_b0y | actually in a about 10 years, all passwords will be useless | 22:27 |
| wxl | can we move this discussion to #lubuntu-offtopic, please? | 22:27 |

| p6620 | i just installed lubuntu. when i start up there is a 'system program error'. it gives me no info what the problem is but if i want report the error i have to enter my password. how do i know it is a genuine error and not a phising / virus to get my root password? | 22:29 |
| wxl | p6620: screenshot that dialog (scrot -s and then click on it) and let us see | 22:30 |
| p6620 | wxl: is that control s? i will need to logout and log in again | 22:32 |
| wxl | p6620: scrot is the screenshot program. you can run it by using the keystroke alt-f2 to start the run dialog and then fill in "scrot -s" without the quotes. then click on the dialog. the resulting file will be in your home | 22:32 |
| p6620 | ok | 22:33 |
| fofana | hello | 22:40 |

| fofana | ok | 22:41 |
| wxl | if you can't speak it here, i don't want to hear it | 22:41 |
| wxl | love you, tho | 22:41 |
| fofana | allrite | 22:41 |
| fofana | thanks :) | 22:41 |
| wxl | fofana: if you have a legitimate question though, we're all ears and happy to help | 22:42 |
| fofana | allrite | 22:43 |
| fofana | Lubuntu won't work on my old desktop | 22:43 |
| fofana | 512 mb ram | 22:43 |
| fofana | 2.1 ghz single core | 22:43 |
| fofana | the installation freezes up | 22:43 |
| wxl | all of them won't? | 22:43 |
| fofana | err | 22:43 |
| fofana | not sure why? | 22:43 |
| wxl | well one might work better than another | 22:44 |
| wxl | which one you trying? | 22:44 |
| fofana | err the basic one | 22:44 |
| fofana | for desktops | 22:44 |
| fofana | 12.04 or wahtever | 22:44 |
| wxl | what do you mean "freezes?" | 22:44 |
| fofana | It gets to the slideshow | 22:44 |
| fofana | and it freezes up there | 22:44 |
| fofana | you know the slideshow? | 22:44 |
| wxl | simple solution: use alternate | 22:45 |
| fofana | which one? | 22:45 |
| wxl | any, as long as it's alternate, but 12.04 works | 22:45 |
| fofana | can you tell me? | 22:46 |
| wxl | i jut did | 22:46 |
| wxl | grab 12.04 alternate iso, burn to cd, install | 22:46 |
| wxl | done | 22:46 |

| wxl | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/ | 22:49 |
| wxl | i can tell you what specific one | 22:49 |
| wxl | if you tell me what arch you have | 22:49 |
| wxl | and what method you prefer (zsync, http, torrent) | 22:49 |
| fofana | I have a 2.1 ghz AMD athlon | 22:49 |
| fofana | and hhtp is fine | 22:49 |
| fofana | http is fine | 22:49 |
| fofana | which one do I get? | 22:49 |
| redderhs | do you know your x64 or x86? | 22:50 |
| fofana | x86 | 22:50 |
| wxl | i386 then | 22:50 |
| redderhs | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso | 22:50 |
| wxl | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso | 22:50 |
| wxl | ooh beat me | 22:50 |
| redderhs | =] | 22:50 |
| wxl | make sure to run an md5 against it | 22:50 |
| wxl | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/MD5SUMS | 22:50 |
| wxl | and then you can md5 the cd | 22:51 |
| wxl | to do so: | 22:51 |
| wxl | 1. get the size of the iso in blocks | 22:51 |
| wxl | 2. divide it by 2048. let's call this number "blah" | 22:52 |
| wxl | 3. sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count="blah" | md5sum | 22:52 |
| redderhs | lol | 22:52 |
| ace___ | anyone can tell me the difference between installing chromium-browser or chrome browser ? (and also I was wondering if google chrome would update itself on linux (since it is installed from a standalone .deb)) | 22:54 |
| Unit193 | ace___: You installed their deb? It added a ppa. | 22:55 |
| Unit193 | Get it from their site? | 22:55 |
| redderhs | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers | 22:55 |
| ace___ | yeah my friend installed it from their site so i am wondering if its gonna update the same way as my chromium does | 22:55 |
| Unit193 | ace___: You can check to make sure, but they do add a ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 22:56 |
| ace___ | ok thanks | 22:58 |
| ace___ | so theres no difference between his chrome and my chromium ? | 22:58 |
| wxl | basically | 22:59 |
| ace___ | damn | 22:59 |
| ace___ | lol | 22:59 |
| Unit193 | wxl: Pepperflash! | 22:59 |
| redderhs | google chrome is closed source | 22:59 |
| redderhs | chromium is open | 23:00 |
| ace___ | then i owe him 5 bucks then | 23:00 |
| ace___ | hmm ok | 23:00 |
| redderhs | check comparison link ^ for any major differences | 23:00 |
| redderhs | otherwise a quick search should find a detailed answer | 23:00 |
| Unit193 | http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28web_browser%29#Differences_from_Google_Chrome | 23:00 |
| redderhs | http://www.thetechlabs.com/tech-news/chrome-vs-chromium/ | 23:00 |
| ace___ | but chrome isnt based on chromium ? (wich is oss ) | 23:00 |
| redderhs | chromium open source | 23:01 |
| redderhs | ah i think i linked you to something different: http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/05/why-cant-we-all-use-chromium-instead-of.html | 23:02 |
| p6620 | wxl? | 23:18 |
| p6620 | apologies for the dealy. got the screenshot. how do i display it? | 23:18 |
| redderhs | upload to imgur | 23:18 |
| wxl | p6620: well you can put it on all sorts of places | 23:18 |
| wxl | ↑ what he said | 23:18 |
| p6620 | anything simple and secure will work for me | 23:19 |
| p6620 | how do i upload to imgur? | 23:20 |
| wxl | go to their website and click upload | 23:20 |
| p6620 | http://imgur.com/8wMaO can you view this? | 23:22 |
| redderhs | yep. | 23:22 |
| wxl | looks legitimate | 23:22 |
| wxl | i'm sure if you click report problem you get an option to see the details | 23:22 |
| p6620 | so, my q is..how do i know this is genuine and not a virus / phising scam if it doesnt tell me what the problem is? | 23:23 |
| p6620 | i only get the details after I have entered my password | 23:23 |
| redderhs | You make a good point, but more than likely, it's not a "scam" | 23:24 |
| p6620 | friendly linux should tell me before i enter my password? | 23:24 |
| wxl | well i can tell you i've seen the dialog before | 23:24 |
| wxl | you can certainly look through your jobs and see what it is | 23:24 |
| p6620 | how do i do check logs? | 23:25 |
| p6620 | or jobs? | 23:25 |
| p6620 | is that PID? (i just looked it up!) | 23:26 |
| p6620 | btw, do i need to delete the image on imgur? | 23:27 |
| wxl | task manager should help to some degree | 23:27 |
| wxl | if you want but you don't need to | 23:27 |
| p6620 | or will it be deleted automatically? | 23:27 |
| p6620 | thats ok then | 23:27 |
| p6620 | ok, i will look in task manager. if i need help fixing the problem then, as arnie once said, i'll be back! thanks for your help. | 23:28 |
| mraquaman | hello | 23:38 |
| Unit193 | Or not. | 23:39 |
| ace___ | p6620 the last time i had such an errorbox showing at login was because it tried to reopen a previously opened pcmanfm root directory | 23:44 |
| ace___ | aww damn he left | 23:44 |
| ace___ | well... | 23:44 |
