[01:09] hey guys ive been cruising forum posts for about 5 hours now trying to get my FTP server working [01:09] is there anyone on who can help a brother out? [01:12] frigginglorious: server or client? [01:12] lol [01:12] server [01:12] server [01:12] misread [01:12] what one? [01:12] i was using pure-ftpd just fine [01:13] but ive tried installing 3 different servers [01:13] it has to be some funky port thing [01:13] i should have never upgraded :( [01:13] oh [01:14] i can connect to the server locally just fine [01:14] it works from the machine [01:14] but obviously that isnt useful [01:14] something to do with listening ip? [01:15] and no matter what server i try, i keep getting the ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server error [01:15] i think it has to be [01:15] ive been trying to do something with iptables [01:16] digging the hole deeper? [01:16] probably [01:16] ive been so frustrated ive just been running random commands ive found on forums [01:18] any idea why it would start giving me the ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server error after upgrading? [01:19] no sorry === redderhs1 is now known as redderhs [07:00] I cannot log in to my beautiful lubuntu desktop :( Yesterday, I accidentally shut down my computer while updating some packages. I just recalled this, so I ran apt-get update. It told me to fix some problems with dpkg, so I did that followed by an update&upgrade. [07:02] I get to the login screen, but as I log in, my screen goes black (like when changing its mode) and I'm yet again presented with the login screen. [07:04] Where should I start? Looking in some logs? If so, which? [07:08] I'm trying chown .Xauthority now -- read on the internet that it may help [07:10] *phew* it worked :) [11:01] hi there :) [11:01] is there a ppa for VLC-player for getting newest version on lubuntu 12.10? [17:59] Hello I have a question regarding system policy settings and network connection [18:00] is there someway I can change the network applet to make a user connection instead of a "all users" connection in order to not have to write admin password when adding a new wifi network? [18:39] Hi I wonder if someone could help me I have a windows and a lubuntu partition and I have just tried to transfer some music from lubuntu to my windows partition and it came up with an error and now I have lost my files [18:41] you have ntfs-3g installed? [18:42] bioterror, Not too sure but I have been using it and had no problems until just [18:44] bioterror, I have just checked I do have ntfs-3g installed [18:44] what was the error? [18:45] When I tried to transfer my music files to my windows partition it was saying permission denied and deleted the tracks apart from the folders they were in which are now empty [18:47] Do windows and linux not play nicely installed next to each other? [18:47] they do [18:47] but people really should use fstab [18:48] whats fstab? [18:49] So have I lost my files now is there no way to retrieve them again? [18:50] probably no [18:51] Do you have any reason why this has happened? It was ok before? [18:55] i am new to gnu/linux and managed to installed lubuntu 12.04 on my Pentium III 256 MB RAM laptop. I want to watch youtube videos *without* installing adobe flash. Can someone who has done it on a similar spec laptop tell me how? [18:56] p3-256mb, You cant youtube relies on flash player [18:57] p3-256mb, Chrome has its own flash built in though [18:59] Hello! [19:00] ha [19:00] p3-256mb, http://www.youtube.com/html5 [19:00] join the survey [19:00] How do I get the disk index? So I can see which disks are connected. [19:00] i do not want to use chrome. chromium is a bit slower than firefox on my Pentium 3 laptop. html5 does NOT work on most youtube videos [19:01] klausl, sudo blkid for example [19:02] bioterror: No no! I mean like the work with Windows. Is there not in Lubuntu? [19:02] bioterror: Sorry for my bad english! No no! I mean like the workplace with Windows. Is there not in Lubuntu? [19:03] I dont understand what you're after [19:03] bioterror: Where can I open the hard disk? [19:04] on your table? [19:04] bioterror: No no! You don`t understand what I mean! Do you know Windows 7? [19:05] I do, I use it on my work laptop [19:05] bioterror: And there is a Folder with Computer! Do you know? [19:06] and? [19:06] bioterror: Does it give so a Folder in Lubuntu too? [19:06] you have next to start button this file manager [19:07] doesnt it do the same? [19:07] bioterror: Correct! [19:07] :D [19:08] sooo, what next [19:08] p3-256mb, use youtube downloader and watch with mplayer [19:28] hell [19:28] hello [19:32] Every time I log in to the laptop, it prompts me to enter the password for the default keyring.  [19:32] Is there any way to get Lubuntu to automatically connect to my wireless network without having to go through this keyring app and manual network selection? [19:56] ladkiwi, yes. add tap to All users in the network settings [19:56] bioterror, it was already done for all wireless connexions [19:58] technically it should not ask then [21:17] hi [21:18] i've downloaded the latest iso and was wondering if I could just DD it to a usb thumbstick to run the installer? is the lubuntu iso a hybrid iso ? [21:19] yes [21:20] ok thanks [22:04] erm you could use start up disk creator to make a usb install media [22:06] why? [22:06] just a suggestion as to how to do things [22:09] sounds difficult [22:09] and a good waste of that feature that was finally included in ubuntu isos [23:10] Is there a good place to go to for Lubuntu on arm / Lubuntu from sources? [23:12] focus_it: here or ubuntu-arm. [23:13] focus_it: not sure what you mean "from sources" though, since ubuntu is binary distribution. [23:13] arm is naff environment - have to build everything from source files [23:15] Can anyone here answer any questions about installation? [23:16] can try [23:18] I'm an inexperienced linux user. Been using Ubuntu 11.04. Getting sick of upgrades every 6 months. And my laptop is slowing. Can I install Lubuntu on top of my current installation? [23:19] Normally yes - not sure the full meaning of on top - do you mean separate partition or overwriting ubuntu and keeping all the old data? [23:20] Overwriting Ubuntu and keeping all my old partitions and data [23:20] Slow laptop? change the disk for an SSD or a 7200 RPM - makes your laptop work like a desktop PC :-) [23:21] No need to upgrade ubuntu if you don't want to! I rarely upgrade. [23:22] When support is lost, I may upgrade. Newer Ubuntu has more drivers - so if I have new printers or network cards, I am forced to upgrade. But on average, my ubuntu install lasts 3 years before upgrades because the updates still keep coming. [23:23] It's got a ATA disk, and pretty sure it is already 7200 RPM. Machine is a high end Gateway. Very expensive, and I am not ready to trash it. . But it was built in '03, and kinda slow. [23:23] Thanks by the way, for talking to me. [23:23] what processor [23:24] Pentium III I think. Not sure how to find out from Ubuntu. . I don't have the manual nearby. [23:25] In terminal you can type gnome-system-monitor and on the system page you see memory and processor [23:25] what memory you have? [23:26] if its P3, personally I would move out all your data to external disk and then completely re-install with a fresh copy of Lubuntu [23:26] that way you get best speed. [23:26] Thanks. Intel Pentium 4 Mobile 1.6ghz. [23:27] more than fast enough for Lubuntu [23:27] I don't have a USB2. Very slow to backup all my data. [23:28] do you have another Linux PC and ethernet connection to that PC? [23:28] No [23:28] Actually, I might be able to get one... [23:29] If you can, then you can run ssh and copy everything over [23:29] SSH? DO I need a switch or hub for that? [23:30] ssh is just secure file transfer [23:30] How do you hook it up? Do I just need some sort of ethernet crossover cable? [23:31] You need a switch and then you connect your laptop and the PC to the switch. [23:32] You may instead have a router - that is much better. They usually come with 4 ethernet ports on the back. [23:32] That would allow you to connect the laptop and PC together. [23:32] Ok. I'll see if I can get that. Do you have any advice for how I am supposed to get my Evolution email back into the Lubuntu email client? [23:35] the directory /home/Jimbo_/.evolution will contain everything - assuming your login name is Jimbo_ [23:36] Cab the email store be imported into the client (whatever it is) in Lubuntu? [23:36] set up evolution which will create .evolution directory in home directory. And then copy over that the previously saved /home/Jimbo_/.evolution directory [23:37] that might be quickest [23:37] otherwise, you can export everything in mbox format and re-import it - i haven't done that yet myself yet tho [23:38] Ok. So just to recap... You think Lubuntu will run fine on my machine? And it will see my existing partitions? But I should wipe the ubuntu partition clean before installing Lubuntu? [23:38] Correct - wipe after saving the data first [23:39] remember the .evolution and other "." files are hidden. You need to set view->hidden files in Nautilus to be able to see them [23:40] if you are saving individual directories. [23:40] Ok. OOPS forgot to ask. .. Do I need to install SSH on both machines? Or is this something built into Linux? [23:40] May be better if you back up the entire home directory. [23:42] you can check if ssh and openssh is installed - if not install them [23:42] I will see if I can get a loaner machine and router this week to do the backup (and install). Do I have to worry about upgrading Lubuntu every 6 months like Ubuntu? [23:43] yes - but you don't have to unless you gain something from it. the updates keep coming automatically [23:43] Ok Thanks for all your time and advice! Have a good week [23:44] great! :-) [23:45] How do I get my mouse scroll wheel working in lubuntu? Currently the only way of scrolling is dragging the scroll bar down, or using the arrow keys; it is quite annoying. I am running in virtual box~. [23:50] hello [23:50] I'm having problems installing lubuntu on a notebok [23:50] notebook [23:51] acer aspire 3620 [23:52] it freezes when detecting hardware [23:52] no mouse response [23:52] i have tried using noapic option on grub [23:52] with no effect [23:53] (as someone suggested here on this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/999287) [23:53] Launchpad bug 999287 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "lubuntu 12.04 installer failed" [Undecided,Confirmed]
