[00:01] psilo23: you might have some people that are more helpfull on audio in #opensourcemusicians [03:45] guys, i'm trying to install the driver for my wireless card... in ubuntu it automatically runs an app that install restricted drivers... how do i do this? i can't seem to find an option for restricted drivers [03:49] gharz: you could look in "software sources" for it... some of the spins have a tab there [03:50] holstein: ok. i'll look into that. thanks! [03:50] gharz: what card? some broadcom? ...maybe just manually install ... sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer [03:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx assuming thats your card [03:51] uhmmm... i have to check... i use lspci right to check my card? [03:51] gharz: you can [03:52] holstein: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1693] (rev 02) [03:52] 04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) [03:52] bcm4312 [03:53] gharz: if you check that link i gave, you'll see how to make sure its for the card [03:53] looks like you can run those commands i gave... assuming they are still named the same and in the repos [03:54] sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer [03:54] holstein: thanks! [03:54] gharz: sure.. you might need to reboot... i have had a few just start working though [03:57] holstein: do i need to instal bcmwl-kernel-source? [03:57] or did you just intsall b43-fwcutter and firnware-bf43-installer? [04:01] gharz: if you have a minute, read the link i gave [04:01] bcmwl-kernel-source is for the sta driver... i linked the other because i have had less issues with it [04:01] your mileage may vary... [04:02] holstein: i have installed bcmwl-kernel-source and it looked good. i can see some wifi now. :) [04:02] thank you, holstein! [04:02] it was a great help! [04:02] cool.. enjoy! [04:02] you rock! [04:04] it's working now and i'm using my wifi === cdoublejj_ is now known as cdoublejj [08:20] is this the official lubuntu support IRC channel? [08:21] Users, yes [08:22] atleast they mention this place in installer ;) [08:22] Thanks NUCLEARWINTER, I was a bit confused [08:24] Hi there people! It seems https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDNetboot automation script is broken in quantal [08:24] Been enjoying it A LOT with my computer with locked EUFI only supporting net and HDD boot :) [08:24] fomg-optimize, that is probably out of date [08:25] Yeah, but luckily it worked up until quantal, I like being lazy :) [08:25] So how would I go about reporting it properly? [08:25] yes [08:26] you should make a launchpad bug [08:26] Is there a launchpad bug report for dummies guide? [08:26] So as to avoid usual mistakes [08:27] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ [08:27] you took all the files from here? [08:28] I would rather use the real netboot files, instead of playing around with those [08:28] Yeah, I probably should, but the automation script is so incready smooth [08:29] In fact it is the one thing keeping me from moving to Arch linux [08:29] Since I have been ahaving huge amount of issues with the built in PXE on this machine [08:31] been a while since I had a PXE in my home network [08:32] Understandable, I would lofe to avoid it if I could [08:32] And only use it for fun [08:33] I found booting from USB sticks faster ;) [08:33] Oh, how I miss that [08:33] I love coroporate policy that forces users to stay with windows [08:33] DUe to... security [08:34] >:o [08:34] Yep, the lock the EUFI to stop you from installing any new os [08:34] Hence the PXE boot-install workaround [08:36] some one cracked it? [08:37] Ah, this is just a business laptop that has boot options locked, what I believe you are referring to is the Win 8 lockdown? [08:37] Do not believe it is cracked yet, but the hardware is not out [08:44] does EUFI prevent us from booting from USB stick? [08:49] Anyone know why Nautilus 3.4.2 shows all filenames highlighted in grey and the other columns in the more acceptable white background? [08:49] nope [08:49] we use pcmanfm [08:50] NUCLEARWINTER: I also used PCManFM, but it keeps crashing while I am using it at different times and different scenarios. [08:50] change you theme may works [08:51] Users: Aaaaah, okay,,, let me try :) [08:57] Users: You were correct... I changed the Widgets in Customise Look And Feel. [09:00] Ascavasaion: some styles do looks weired with some applications [09:00] Users: Yes, very weird hehehe [09:19] I keep getting these errors, and when I want to report it it lists openbox as the culprit. any idea how I can sort that out? Another lightweight desktop manager? [09:19] I thought Lubuntu used LXFE? Not Openbox. [09:35] hi [09:35] this is my second day and i already did mess up my system [09:36] dont you mess up things [09:36] is there any command like apt-get the lates sound codec installed ? [09:36] i know sorry just trying to install codec for streaming [09:36] sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extas [09:36] extras [09:36] even [09:36] this place is a god [09:37] more like Gaia! [09:37] is there any book [09:38] something like how to use linux for the first time and dont mess up your system [09:38] !cmd | AmmarGreen [09:38] or a book where it say dont touch if it works [09:38] kraah [09:38] !cli | AmmarGreen [09:38] AmmarGreen: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [09:38] !apt | AmmarGreen [09:38] AmmarGreen: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [09:38] aha [09:39] the "!" gives and explaning about what it is [09:40] there's lots of stuff to read [09:41] im gonna reboot i did sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extas i hope i have my sound back or as always re-format and start over again :-D [09:41] you do not have to reboot [09:41] some people just likes to reboot [09:45] Old habit from Windows :) [09:47] most of the new users are so young that they dont evern rememer time before windows xp [09:47] remember [09:48] Ah true [09:49] Good thing though [09:49] people are not as afraid of linux as in the past :) [09:49] 98 still required reboot after adjusting screen resolution [09:51] sorry for asking [09:51] I grew up with 95 but was exposed to mac os, win 3, dos [09:51] i did the sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras [09:52] and everything is installed [09:52] but there is no sound out of my speakers [09:53] None at all? [09:53] Or just some files? [09:54] none [09:54] i can see my volume icone [09:54] i did also go into alsamixer [09:54] and can turn up and down the volume [09:54] but still no sound out of my speakers [09:54] it did work for 10 min ago [09:54] Hmm well you have alsamixer installed [09:55] what i did was installing alots of plugins [09:55] yes alsamiser is installed and i can see my soundcard [09:55] For browser or ALSA? [09:55] you dont get sounds at all [09:55] well plugins for browser i think [09:55] or just a certain program doesnt give a sound? [09:55] no sound [09:55] no app gives sound [09:56] browser [09:56] Hmmm odd [09:56] mp3 [09:56] ha browser [09:56] film [09:56] vlc [09:56] check if tou have gstreamer installed [09:56] But it ought to work [09:56] there was package like chromium-ffmpeg-extras or something like that? [09:56] yes [09:57] ffmpeg files codec [09:57] i found webpage 10 think to do after installation [09:58] Truth be told, this is new to me :). [09:58] Did you go through alsamixer to see if anything is muted? [09:59] my speaker say MM [09:59] you press M to mute/unmute each cahnnel [09:59] but the master is TT [09:59] i did tt all channel [10:00] TT? [10:00] Mine normally just says 00 [10:00] Or rather OO [10:00] not working [10:00] my speaker is 100% [10:01] Yeah, but the TT caught my attention [10:01] Sadly I have no idea what it means? [10:02] well learn by doing [10:02] is PCM and Master 100? [10:02] it means [10:02] i have to reformat and start all over again [10:02] yes PCm is 100 [10:02] and master too? [10:02] yes [10:02] everything else than line and mic to 100% :D [10:02] Do you have the website with 10 things to do? [10:03] Shoul be something there that caused it? [10:03] let me see 2 sec [10:05] https://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/09/30/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-12-10-aka-quantal-quetzal/ [10:05] this is the website https://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/09/30/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-12-10-aka-quantal-quetzal/ [10:06] you did not not install those gnome-fallbacks?

[12:09] does anyone know an application like alacarte to edit the menu? [12:11] wtf [12:26] hi! how i can add a new language in keyboard. thnx [12:34] switched to lubuntu 12.10 from ubuntu. having trouble playing a commercial dvd video and internet is littered with scraps of reports. how do i play it with vlc? [15:23] Hi, I got lubuntu 12.10 installed. But after reboot, there is only CUI, and with startx, I got this "no screen found" [15:25] Any idea on how to bring lxde back? [15:33] ? [15:41] question, a guy on #ubuntu-es is using lubuntu and all his gtk themings are blocked, its there a way to fix that? [15:42] he says he installed kubuntu and he changed the themes with the kde gtk theme changer? [15:44] cant change back with kde gtk theme changer? [15:44] let me ask [15:45] hello [15:46] I got lubuntu 12.10 installed. But after reboot, there is only CUI, and with startx, I got this "no screen found", any idea on how to fix it? [15:46] i'm trying to force my wlan rate to 54mbit with sudo iwconfig eth1 rate 54m, but it says command not found [15:47] yes if he uses the qt program it changes the gtk themes [15:48] typing iwconfig directly to terminal shows connections without errors. what's up with this? [15:50] GridCube:??just run some qt based program changes the theme? [15:51] muki, eth1 is not wifi interface [15:52] Users, thats not an optimal solution [15:52] muki try putting iwconfig rate only [15:53] still says command not found [15:55] ahh. just some pasting issues. sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54m accepted withoud errors NOR comfirmation [15:55] sorry, what I am trying to say is that some qt program changes the theme or the guy changes it manually [15:55] tho it still says bit rate:65Mb/s in properties [15:56] muki, Maybe you need to turn wifi off and on or restart your pc? [15:57] Kihokki: wifi reconnect made it change to 150Mb/s??? [15:57] though it's working beautifully now, but it isn't supposed to do that [15:57] muki, Well try now running a test at http://speedtest.net :p [15:59] No flash because no HW acceleration under linux is supported for this chip [15:59] Users, yep pretty much [16:00] muki, Which chip? [16:01] Kihokki: Allwinner A10 with A8 cortex 1ghz and mali400 gpu [16:03] I got lubuntu 12.10 installed. But after reboot, there is only CUI, and with startx, I got this "no screen found", any idea on how to fix it? [16:03] muki, I think these drivers will make it work if anyone here is able to tell him these can be installed http://limadriver.org/ [16:04] Kihokki: using those drivers is a hell-of-a-job and still no hw accel [16:04] tho it may enable 2d acceleration under gpu. not sure [16:05] Better than nothing [16:09] Tried downloading a null file and still max 140kB/s [16:10] Checked sudo iwconfig wlan0 and rate is back to 65Mb/s. Is there a way to force it using only wireless-g? [16:10] Anyone? [16:14] Is there a way to permanently save my lxterminal settings, e.g. font size? === muki is now known as muki_ [18:31] I have problem with installation of lubuntu 12.10. whatever I chose(try/install) I get cursor blinking and it stops there. [18:32] try alternate [18:32] It is normal for a hang to occur then. How long did you wait? [18:33] well few minutes (maybe 15-20) [18:34] Either a faulty ISO or a hardware compatability issue with the graphical installation. Check the MD5/SHA-1 sum of the ISO, and if it checks out, try the alternate (non-graphical) installation CD instead. [18:36] thanks I will try alternate cd tomorrow. and my hardware is realy old (but previous version worked) [18:36] If that is the case, be sure to try the checksums. If 12.04 worked, 12.10 shouldn't have any issues. [18:37] how to do checksum? [18:38] While running Linux, just run "md5sum /path/to/iso" [18:38] Compare the number to the md5sum given on the Lubuntu website. [18:54] it's same... [18:55] * nkg5 is using a GT-I5500 running Android 2.3.7 (Sony HD) [18:57] I used previous version without problem but I don't remember was it 12.4 or 11.10 [19:03] im new user lubuntu and i have a quest - which web browser is the best for lubuntu?thx in advance. [19:09] Depends on the person, do you know what "vim" is? [19:34] i don't know..kind a browser ? [19:35] Nope, but that does pretty much rule out xxxterm. Firefox or chrom(e,ium) are pretty much your choices, though there are others like opera and such. [19:35] !best [19:35] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:40] Hi everybody. I have Lubuntu 12.04 installed on my netbook and I want to upgrade to 12.10. On Update Manager, it says that there's a new Ubuntu release '12.10' available, not a Lubuntu release… Can I upgrade and expect to have Lubuntu 12.10 installed? [19:41] Pretty much, yep. [19:43] Unit193: Thanks... [19:43] toter: Just as when you do lsb_release -a Ubuntu comes up. [19:45] The fact that Update Manager displays a new UBUNTU release instead of a LUBUNTU release worried me a little… But ok... [20:10] Hello, Lubuntu use and has no file browser with pcmanfm and if I use nautilus unconfigure the desktop, there is a separate application for searching files from a precision search for Lubuntu? [20:13] im using Search for Files or Folders pcmanfm-mod --find-files %F and doesnt work fine [20:22] Hello, Lubuntu use and has no file browser with pcmanfm and if I use nautilus unconfigure the desktop, there is a separate application for searching files from a precision search for Lubuntu? [20:23] what do you mean precision search? [20:23] anyway, my lubuntu menu has a file search app called "catfish" [20:24] i want a search engine for lubuntu or for pcmanfm integrated [20:24] catfish has gui? [20:25] im using Search for Files or Folders pcmanfm-mod --find-files %F and doesnt work fine [20:28] radom832 i havent catfish in lubuntu 12.04 [20:31] radom832 ok in the repos of lubuntu yes [20:31] i try it [20:34] I haven't used it, so I don't know if it's any good [20:34] i just noticed it in the menu [20:40] Radom832 ok casfish works very well , thank you for your info [21:11] hello [21:12] has anyone an idea why at the live cd for 12.10 at boot screen where you can select modes f6 dosnt work? [21:23] I have a strange problem after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10, I have sound in headphones but not on the build in speakers. I have checked alsamixer and pulseaudio and everything seems to be working (I can see the volum indicater jumping up and down while playing music) but no sound on the speakers [21:24] Does someone have an idea what could be wrong?
