[05:50] <sketch1> Just got Lubuntu going on a USB.
[05:50] <sketch1> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[05:51] <sketch1> Is that correct for the terminal?

[10:56] <iluminameluna> I've looked everywhere and can't find a solution for my issue: Lub 11.10, Chromium issues: w/ more than 3 tabs (I think) the screen lags first, then freezes or just shuts down. Restarting it gives me the Restore option which works. It's fine, with all the tabs open but in seconds it does it all again
[10:57] <sireorion> hi all... Can i install Lubuntu on 1 GB hdd 515RAM?
[10:59] <iluminameluna> I followed some instructions to install Touchpad Configuration app to disable my touchpad and since then I've had this issue. I'm about to try reinstalling Lub 11.10 but I'm insecure abt whether or not my moving my /home dir from one USB drive to another worked. I assume it did but I did both things at abt the same time so now I'm feeling anxious.
[10:59] <iluminameluna> sireorion: as far as I know, you wld need at least 2g of hdd space, your ram seems fine
[11:00] <sireorion> iluminameluna: ; Okey.. .Im trying to find an distro that i can install on my 1 GB drive...
[11:00] <iluminameluna> however, I recommend either a larger drive for installation if you intend to use it w/ your /home and /var directories on it, since both grow w/ each update, application installation & just saving configurations over time
[11:01] <iluminameluna> the other solution wld be to assign your /home and /var dirs to a thumb drive .. all this assuming you're using a laptop that can handle a thumb drive
[11:02] <iluminameluna> I would suggest a Puppy os .. I have Wary Puppy on a 1g sd card to use in emergencies. TINY!
[11:03] <sireorion> But puppy fa^^ed upp my static drive
[11:03] <iluminameluna> but SO basic you'll need some familiarity with doing some terminal work if you wish to set up your wireless or wifi ..
[11:03] <iluminameluna> it did?! .. what drive did you try installation on?
[11:04] <iluminameluna> and by static I assume you mean your hard drive?
[11:04] <sireorion> I just want to have an lightwhight distro so i can plug in my external hdd and look on movies on tv
[11:04] <iluminameluna> AH ...
[11:04] <sireorion> Solid drive 1GB
[11:04] <iluminameluna> right ...
[11:04] <iluminameluna> can you say how or why you think puppy messed it up?
[11:05] <iluminameluna> and so you know, I'm not an expert but I'm not a complete noob either .. sorta experienced noob
[11:05] <sireorion> When i did the new partition. it failed it. When i tryed again it failed to read it
[11:05] <iluminameluna> I see a lot of folks that swear by Mint but I've no personal experience w/ it
[11:06] <sireorion> Porteus is an light wight distro to... but ppl thinks it suxx
[11:06] <iluminameluna> but that might not be a ruined ssd but a messed up puppy install ..
[11:06] <sireorion> XP Pe dont find the SSD ether
[11:07] <iluminameluna> you have a thumb drive you can plug into your machine?
[11:07] <sireorion> no
[11:07] <iluminameluna> XP Pe?
[11:07] <iluminameluna> so how are you installing an os onto your ssd?
[11:07] <sireorion> Pe is an light light light version of XP
[11:07] <iluminameluna> oh, ok .. not familiar w/ that ...
[11:08] <iluminameluna> I remember Se but .. nm
[11:08] <iluminameluna> so how are you installing, or trying to install, the os' onto your ssd?
[11:08] <sireorion> trying to isnatll
[11:08] <sireorion> install
[11:08] <sireorion> *
[11:08] <iluminameluna> and what machine do you have, or are using?
[11:09] <sireorion> http://www.profcon.se/Dokument/MiniPC_LX800.pdf
[11:09] <sireorion> :D
[11:10] <iluminameluna> ok, I've heard of those but never saw one .. so how are you trying to install your os?
[11:11] <sireorion> puppy have i tryed form live mode and from boot mode
[11:11] <sireorion> both failed
[11:12] <iluminameluna> so your machine has another ssd? or it's hooked up to another by cable?
[11:13] <sireorion> Its directly plugged to the mainboard
[11:15] <iluminameluna> I'm sorry, perhaps I'm not being clear .. where is the original puppy installation file you downloaded?
[11:15] <sireorion> On an USB stick
[11:16] <iluminameluna> you had to have d/l'd a file & run that on your drive without installing it to your ssd .. ah ... ok .. that's what I'd asked before, how you were installing it onto your ssd ...
[11:16] <iluminameluna> which version of puppy do you have?
[11:26] <iluminameluna> is anyone here a Lubuntu Team member?
[11:37] <iluminameluna> I need help with my installation of Chromium and inability to install the debug program. I can't tell why, though I used the Synaptic Package Mgr
[11:45] <iluminameluna> are either of you experienced users of Lubuntu 11.10?  @Idle One or @hyperair
[12:32] <callaghan> Hi, I just installed Lubuntu 12.10, and I have a problem with the taskbar: The selected application is in white font, making it very hard to read against the light background. I found no solution using google, I guess there must be an easy fix.... thanks
[12:53] <Tom76> where is  System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers on Lubuntu
[14:28] <Nate_Rev> Hi everyone, can I get any help with Installing Lubuntu through Wubi here?
[15:00] <dyd> hi all, is there any way i can make terminal windows transparent so i can see what i'm browsing for example?
[15:01] <dyd> by now i was able to set transparency but i just see the desktop bg image
[15:07] <holstein> dyd: that could require a different graphics driver, and/or compositing
[15:07] <holstein> dyd: i would say, spend a few minutes and ask yourself how important that actually is... then, start auditioning either 3d proprietary drivers if they are available, or composite managers
[15:08] <holstein> both of which can affect the performance of the machine
[15:08] <dyd> holstein, thank you, i think i will survive without that feature
[15:08] <dyd> holstein, right now the system is so fast, don't want to change things or loose this for a feature like that
[15:09] <holstein> dyd: enjoy!
[15:09] <dyd> bb have a nice day
[16:12] <tata> why my googleearth installated on lubuntu 10.04, have "yellow and white square" and not show many numbers?
[16:13] <holstein> tata: you could tae a screenshot to demonstrate, but im gong to guess the graphics driver
[16:15] <tata> but, on lubuntu 12.04 is ok, why is diferent?
[16:18] <holstein> tata: different driver, different kernel... different flash/browser.. i would guess its a version of something that an upgrade is helping in your situation
[16:20] <tata> yes, i upgrade it, but nothing happand!
[16:20] <tata> its same
[16:21] <holstein> tata: im not following... you say 12.04 is different? that made me think 10.40 was "broken" and 12.04 was not.. but you say you didnt upgrade? meaning you cant upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04?
[16:25] <tata> no, i  update from synaptic packing manager 10.04, it is same 10.04
[16:25] <holstein> tata: you update google earth?
[16:26] <holstein> tata: it could be the version of flash, or the version of thegraphics driver... or the kernel version with drivers in it that are better supported in 12.04
[16:26] <holstein> tata: im saying.. if it workds in 12.04 and not so well in 10.04, its safe to say there is a newer version of something that is working better for you
[16:27] <holstein> if you cant just upgrade the install to 12.04, i would start looking at the simple things.. the flash version.. try installing the chrome browser (not chromium) if its a 32bit system.. chrome has its own flash version
[16:29] <tata> ok, i understand, but in 12.04 not working abiword
[16:30] <holstein> tata: you can try opening from the terminal and see if there is helpful error output
[16:35] <tata> opening , what?
[16:36] <holstein> tata: you can try opening abiword from the terminal... you might see some helpful error output there... or elaborate as to what the issue is with abiword... you cant use libreoffice?
[16:38] <tata> I try libreoffice, it is ok
[16:38] <holstein> tata: you can either use libreoffice in 12.04, or troubleshoot abiword in 12.04... or work wth 10.04 trying to upgrade what is necessary for google earth
[16:38] <tata> what is diferent about web browser, to do with googleearth?
[16:39] <holstein> tata: as i stated above, the 32bit version of google chrome (not chromium) has its own version of flash
[16:39] <holstein> that version will be current.. this is an easy way to test the flash version in 10.04
[16:40] <tata> because, i use firefox
[16:40] <holstein> tata: you can use whatever browser you like
[16:40] <holstein> tata: this is a troubleshooting step.. a suggestion
[16:40] <tata> ok
[16:40] <holstein> tata: if you install chrome (not chromuim) in 10.04, and google earth "just works" then, you can assume it might be the flash version in 10.04 causing the issues
[16:41] <tata> ok, i try instal chrome
[16:42] <holstein> tata: or try 12.04 ad troubleshoot abiword... that might be easier
[16:49] <tata> ok yes, thanks
[16:53] <tata> one more thing, 10.04 is faster than 12.04
[16:56] <holstein> tata: is that a question? or a statement?
[16:59] <tata> statement
[17:00] <holstein> i find them quite similar where i test
[17:03] <tata> ok
[17:33] <QuaxEros> 'ello y'all. my live-cd 12.04 stops booting as soon as it doesn't see the b43 firmware file (strange no?). I don't need my wireless for the install anyway, is there a way to make continue or ignore my wireless?
[18:40] <IboS> hello
[18:40] <IboS> i'm totally addicted to lubuntu
[18:40] <IboS> i cannot even take care of my children what should i do ?
[18:42]  * gomiboy calls social services
[18:43] <NUCLEARWINTER> :D
[18:49] <Diegongui> Hello, I read that lubuntu 12.10 is supported by unetbootin but
[18:50] <Diegongui> when I open unetbootin 12.10 isn't there
[18:50] <NUCLEARWINTER> you dont need unetbootin, unless you make a persistent usb stick
[18:50] <Diegongui> but it says "dayly live"
[18:50] <NUCLEARWINTER> you can just dd if=lubuntu-12.10.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M
[18:50] <Diegongui> yes, I want
[18:51] <Diegongui> I didn't undersund that of=...
[18:51] <NUCLEARWINTER> !dd
[18:51] <Diegongui> worst
[18:51] <NUCLEARWINTER> does not know dd :(
[18:52] <Diegongui> download i thing
[18:52] <NUCLEARWINTER> ubuntu's isos can be dd'd to usb sticks
[18:52] <NUCLEARWINTER> and unetbootin is not in our hands
[18:52] <NUCLEARWINTER> you have to whine to unetbootin developers
[18:53] <Diegongui> so I have to wait until unetbootin says 12.10
[18:53] <NUCLEARWINTER> or you can just download the iso and dd
[18:53] <Diegongui> but in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu says that is supported
[18:54] <Diegongui> what about lili
[18:54] <Diegongui> so you trust it?
[18:55] <Diegongui> xubuntu was not as faster as I thought it will be
[18:56] <Diegongui> and the frugal install I made was a little bad
[18:56] <Diegongui> couldn't mount all partitions...
[18:57] <Diegongui> and I did something wrong and now I cant boot because I think groover is missing
[18:58] <Diegongui> I'm seeing now formating all hdd ha ha
[19:02] <Diegongui> Do you know this error? error: no such partition
[19:02] <Diegongui> groov rescue:
[19:02] <Diegongui> that is when I boot
[19:03] <Diegongui> NUCLEARWINTER: is there a way to restore groov from the pendrive that has the iso ?
[19:03] <Diegongui> grub* sory
[19:04] <NUCLEARWINTER> you can install grub to that?
[19:04] <Diegongui> I don't konw
[19:05] <Diegongui> my pendrive has the iso
[19:05] <Diegongui> I installed it using lili
[19:05] <Diegongui> it's like unetbootin
[19:05] <Diegongui> when I put the pendrive with the iso, xubuntu runs with it
[19:06] <Diegongui> but alerts me that theres something wrong with the partition or something like that
[19:47] <iluminameluna> is there anyone here to help with Chromium hanging/crashing with lubuntu 11.10?
[19:48] <wxl> iluminameluna: chromium is riddled with bugs right now
[19:48] <iluminameluna> oh dear, is it just the latest version? it just suddenly started misbehaving
[19:48] <wxl> more than a few times a day i see activity on bug reports
[19:48] <iluminameluna> thought it might be a cpl of modifications to my netbook done recently
[19:49] <wxl> i don't typically use chromium so i'm not sure which, if any, version is stable
[19:49] <wxl> however i'm sure your best bet would be to install the latest version from the developer directly rather than the clearly outdated packages in the repos
[19:50] <iluminameluna> ah, cool, will give that a try .. just d/l the install pkg & install that?
[19:50] <iluminameluna> rather than from the synaptic pkg mgr?
[19:50] <wxl> yep
[19:50] <iluminameluna> sorry to ask such a noob question but head's not clear
[19:51] <wxl> if you want a more user friendly experience, you might try chrome rather than chromium as i think the latter requires you to build from source
[19:51] <wxl> or else you might do what others do and go for another browser
[19:51] <iluminameluna> actually, no, you run it same as chrome but it comes barebones so you add the extensions you want & not worry abt preloaded ones
[19:52] <wxl> there you go, then, you're one up on me :D
[19:52] <iluminameluna> I'm trying to install the smallest version of any apps. My netbook's from 2005 so I don't want to overload it
[19:52] <iluminameluna> hahahaha!!!
[19:53] <wxl> try xxxterm
[19:53] <iluminameluna> xxxterm? whassat?
[19:53] <wxl> install it from the repos and see for yourself :)
[19:53] <wxl> wait um
[19:53] <wxl> !info xxxterm
[19:53] <wxl> there we go
[19:54] <iluminameluna> kk .. I'm up for a .. WOW
[19:54] <iluminameluna> TINY ..
[19:54] <wxl> and super secure
[19:54] <iluminameluna> took the question right from my head!
[19:54] <iluminameluna> =D
[19:54] <wxl> i really want that to be our default browser
[19:55] <wxl> however it's not as clicky and graphical as firefox, opera, midori, chromium, etc.
[19:55] <iluminameluna> cool .. will give it a try after I d/l chrome so I have something in the works, so to speak, if I'm unhappy w/ xxxterm
[19:55] <wxl> if you have thoguhts on it, throw them up on the mailing list
[19:55] <iluminameluna> kk, will do .. I don't care so much abt aesthetics, more a practical kind of girl
[19:56] <wxl> :)
[19:56] <wxl> it's very practical
[19:56] <wxl> but more keyboard focused
[19:56] <wxl> (not ALL keyboard forcused, but more keyboard focused)
[19:56] <wxl> plus all configuration through a text file which not everyone likes
[19:56] <wxl> if you need help with it, i know myself and Unit193 both use it
[19:57] <iluminameluna> perfect .. & kb input is fine, it's how I came up from DOS & BASIC ..
[19:57] <wxl> oh you'll be fine then :)
[19:58] <wxl> do you use vi?
[19:59] <iluminameluna> nope .. don't even know what that is .. haven't been able to keep up on coding languages SINCE DOS .. chronic migraines for over 20 yrs have done a number on my cognition & memory
[19:59] <iluminameluna> my kids are the family coding experts, & only one knows more than one language .. & I'm fairly new to Linux
[20:00] <iluminameluna> should've paid more attention when ex-hubby started playing w/ Redhat back in the day
[20:00] <iluminameluna> oh wells .. I'm gonna go play w/ the browsers & will be back if I encounter hitches .. WHEN I encounter hitches >,<
[20:01] <iluminameluna> bblaters
[20:04] <wxl> sorry took off a sec
[20:04] <wxl> oh well
[20:59] <Guest38389> Trying to install lubuntu using iso CD, gets to "Preparing to install Lubuntu" window, but seems to hang up there with no progress after clicking on Continue.  Anyone have a suggestion?
[21:05] <zleap> does lubuntu adopt these advertising ideas that are in ubuntu ?
[21:05] <NUCLEARWINTER> you mean: amazon
[21:06] <zleap> yeah
[21:06] <NUCLEARWINTER> Lubuntu doesnt have a "search" ;)
[21:06] <zleap> ok
[21:07] <NUCLEARWINTER> and it would not be "light weight"
[21:07] <Unit193> Catfish works.
[21:09] <NUCLEARWINTER> :D
[21:09] <Unit193> (For me, I use locate)
[21:10] <NUCLEARWINTER> I remember all the files, and if I dont, I do find / |grep word
[21:10] <NUCLEARWINTER> :D
[21:11] <iluminameluna> hi, wxl? are you here?
