| bennylb | Hi all, I'm currently on lubuntu 12.04 and was wondering whether paid apps are available in the 12.10 software center? If not any idea when they will be available? | 02:54 |
|---|---|---|
| tweakster | I am puzzled by something in this Lubuntu desktop, which I am hoping someone here can explain to me. Although it installed with the LXDE desktop, it also has a program in the Preferences Menu called Power Manager, which, when opened, is identified as the "Xfce Power Manager". Why is that since these are two different desktops and I have a standard installation of programs basically? | 02:58 |
| bennylb1 | tweakster: The entry you see in the preferences menu is a GUI front end to xfce power manager with the package name xfce4-power-manger-settings. | 03:11 |
| Zanzacar | I have a broadcom card and I was going to use this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx for installing the drivers but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work, additionally I can use ubuntu doc/help guides like this since it is essentially the same system right? | 03:13 |
| tweakster | bennylbl, why is it there, an Xfce GUI program installed on my LXDE desktop? I mean, those are two different desktops, so to speak. | 03:15 |
| tweakster | why didn't a LXDE program for Power Management get installed on this LXDE desktop? | 03:15 |
| bennylb1 | @tweakster If you didn't install xfce4-power-manager explicitly something you installed, installed it as a dependency. If you installed lxde desktop by installing the lubuntu-desktop meta package it would almost definitely have been installed then. lxde desktop environment doesn't have it's own power manager so it borrows xfce | 03:22 |
| Zanzacar | can I use ubuntu help doc pages for lubuntu? | 03:24 |
| Zanzacar | such as this one Don't mention it to Wes that I said anything | 03:24 |
| Zanzacar | Susan | 03:24 |
| Zanzacar | whoops | 03:24 |
| Zanzacar | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 03:24 |
| Zanzacar | that one? | 03:24 |
| bennylb1 | @Zanacar: of course you can lubuntu uses the same repository as ubuntu. The difference being that lubuntu brings together features that make lxde desktop environment work. The kernel and hardware modules are the same. | 03:31 |
| tweakster | bennylb1: okay, thanks. that is the part I needed to understand what likely happened. there is no unique power management program for LXDE, so one from another desktop is utilized. | 03:35 |
| tweakster | this zram program is running nicely and I can see with the benchmarking program a substantial difference from its effect on a low-ram system. | 03:54 |
| tweakster | the Lubuntu repository has a ready-made startup script to install for it, and the kernel already supports it. it helps, at least on one of these low-ram machines it does. i have not yet put on one of these others with lots of ram already. | 03:56 |
| OpenSorce | Hahaha! I finally shoved Lubuntu down this tablet's Windows compatible little throat! | 05:02 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | OpenSorce, you got it running on that Crusoe machine? | 05:20 |
| OpenSorce | Yup, wasn't easy | 05:21 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | :D | 05:21 |
| OpenSorce | It's not "fast" but it's twice as fast as it was | 05:21 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | do you happen to have Flybook? | 05:21 |
| OpenSorce | Flybook? | 05:21 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | Dialogue Flybook | 05:22 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | The first Flybook model (A33i) was powered by a Transmeta Crusoe processor. | 05:22 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | :-) | 05:22 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | (I drooled one, ofcourse ;) | 05:22 |
| OpenSorce | Hehe, nah this is a Compaq TC1000 | 05:23 |
| OpenSorce | 256M of Ram! | 05:23 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | 256MB was a lot of ram around '99 :D | 05:25 |
| OpenSorce | Oh yeah... I would have killed for this mahine back then | 05:25 |
| OpenSorce | I gotta get the pen working now | 05:26 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | so OpenSorce, is that crusoe i586 or i686?-) | 05:32 |
| OpenSorce | i586 | 05:44 |
| OpenSorce | had to go with 10.04 | 05:44 |
| OpenSorce | exec -o uname -a | 05:50 |
| OpenSorce | ack | 05:50 |
| OpenSorce | Linux cerealkiller 2.6.32-44-generic #98-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 17:32:45 UTC 2012 i586 GNU/Linux | 05:50 |
| NUCLEARWINTER | haha | 05:59 |
| ankur_ | I have lubuntu 12.10 installed. In the previous version i.e. 12.04 pressing the 'windows' key used to bring up lxde menu, but that doesn't seem to work in 12.10. How do I make windows key to pop lxde menu up? | 06:41 |

| Aminux | hi | 15:12 |
| Aminux | what is the default login/password for lubuntu live | 15:12 |
| M0hi | You mean live cd? | 15:13 |
| Aminux | yes | 15:13 |
| Aminux | :) | 15:13 |
| neurre | hi | 15:14 |
| neurre | im trying to install lubuntu in virtualbox | 15:14 |
| neurre | but all i get to see is black screen after language selection | 15:15 |
| Aminux | im asking because everytime i logoff, i cant get back in | 15:15 |
| neurre | oh now i got lubuntu 12.10 . . . . | 15:15 |
| neurre | i guess its ok then | 15:15 |
| M0hi | Aminux: there is no default user/password stuff in live cd. You can simply use theOS | 15:17 |
| Aminux | leave it blank ? | 15:18 |
| M0hi | Aminux: you have an option called guest i believe | 15:19 |
| M0hi | Or else you should shut down completely | 15:19 |
| Aminux | for instance,if i wanted to switch to openbox and then log in | 15:20 |
| Aminux | i just leave it blank? | 15:20 |
| Aminux | thx | 15:21 |
| Aminux | fixed it with this: sudo passwd lubuntu | 15:24 |
| Aminux | :D | 15:24 |
| Diegongui | Hello, I have a "adstech instant dvd+mp3" video/audio capture card (external, via USB) | 15:25 |
| Aminux | another thing ive noticed is the live cd/usb runs alot faster than if i install it to hd | 15:26 |
| Diegongui | does anyone knows how can I make it work on linux? On windows loads drivers | 15:26 |
| Diegongui | is there any way to load windows drivers on linux? I already tried with wine | 15:28 |
| Diegongui | but nothing happens | 15:28 |

| IAmNotThatGuy | Hey bioterror | 15:29 |
| bioterror | hi | 15:29 |
| bioterror | I hope you're freezing, IAmNotThatGuy | 15:29 |
| bioterror | Diegongui, so yes, you can use wifi drivers from windows, otherwise no | 15:30 |
| Diegongui | I never said Wifi drivers | 15:31 |
| Diegongui | it's a video capturer | 15:31 |
| Diegongui | analog to digital | 15:31 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | bioterror: i like it here | 15:32 |
| bioterror | IAmNotThatGuy, first time abroad? | 15:33 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Aye | 15:35 |
| bioterror | nice | 15:35 |
| bioterror | you might get hooked ;) | 15:35 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Lol | 15:35 |
| Diegongui | I'm trying to make an install | 15:36 |
| Diegongui | of the software | 15:36 |
| Diegongui | with wine to see what happens | 15:36 |
| Diegongui | cant' believe it | 15:37 |
| Diegongui | capwizz opened | 15:38 |
| Diegongui | I almost retire the bad things I said of this video capturer haha | 15:38 |
| Diegongui | at start it says: the usb for capwizz driver has not been installed. please refer to your product documentation for instructions on how to install the driver | 15:40 |
| Diegongui | capwiz will not be able to preview/record video without a compatible USB driver installed | 15:41 |

| berfometh | Can i manually switch the system to battery mode? | 20:10 |
| OpenSorce | Yes, pull the power cord out... | 20:11 |
| berfometh | Nice | 20:11 |
| OpenSorce | Or do you mean the system power settings? | 20:11 |
| berfometh | I mean, when the system changed to ac while running on bat | 20:11 |
| berfometh | Yes the power settings | 20:12 |
| OpenSorce | There should be a way to do that, gimme a sec I'll look. What version of Lubuntu? | 20:12 |
| berfometh | 12.04 | 20:13 |
| berfometh | Thx for looking | 20:14 |
| OpenSorce | kk, hold on. Running 10.04 on this machine, lemme boot 12.04 on my other and we'll find it | 20:14 |
| berfometh | Rebooting helped, but i want to avoid the situation that my system turns to ac itself | 20:20 |
| berfometh | Or to set it back if that happened | 20:20 |
| OpenSorce | Oddly enough I don't see a control for that, I bet there is a package that you can download... researching | 20:20 |
| OpenSorce | Try running "gnome-power-preferences" | 20:23 |
| OpenSorce | If not try "xfce-power-manager" | 20:25 |
| OpenSorce | Looks like LXDE/Openbox doesn't have a native power manager and relies on one of these. How odd. | 20:27 |
| berfometh | Sounds like this is the program i was searching for | 20:28 |
| OpenSorce | Which one worked? | 20:28 |
| berfometh | I have the xfce power manager installed | 20:29 |
| OpenSorce | Okay, that should do what you need | 20:29 |
| berfometh | So i just have to restart it to force the system recognize its on bat | 20:29 |
| berfometh | Yeah thank you! | 20:30 |
| OpenSorce | No problem :-) | 20:30 |
