[01:09] <frigginglorious> hey guys ive been cruising forum posts for about 5 hours now trying to get my FTP server working
[01:09] <frigginglorious> is there anyone on who can help a brother out?
[01:12] <halfduplex> frigginglorious: server or client?
[01:12] <halfduplex> lol
[01:12] <frigginglorious> server
[01:12] <halfduplex> server
[01:12] <halfduplex> misread
[01:12] <halfduplex> what one?
[01:12] <frigginglorious> i was using pure-ftpd just fine
[01:13] <frigginglorious> but ive tried installing 3 different servers
[01:13] <frigginglorious> it has to be some funky port thing
[01:13] <frigginglorious> i should have never upgraded :(
[01:13] <halfduplex> oh
[01:14] <frigginglorious> i can connect to the server locally just fine
[01:14] <frigginglorious> it works from the machine
[01:14] <frigginglorious> but obviously that isnt useful
[01:14] <halfduplex> something to do with listening ip?
[01:15] <frigginglorious> and no matter what server i try, i keep getting the ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server error
[01:15] <frigginglorious> i think it has to be
[01:15] <frigginglorious> ive been trying to do something with iptables
[01:16] <halfduplex> digging the hole deeper?
[01:16] <frigginglorious> probably
[01:16] <frigginglorious> ive been so frustrated ive just been running random commands ive found on forums
[01:18] <frigginglorious> any idea why it would start giving me the ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server error after upgrading?
[01:19] <halfduplex> no sorry
[07:00] <joel135> 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] <joel135> 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] <joel135> Where should I start? Looking in some logs? If so, which?
[07:08] <joel135> I'm trying chown .Xauthority now -- read on the internet that it may help
[07:10] <joel135> *phew* it worked :)
[11:01] <polix> hi there :)
[11:01] <polix> is there a ppa for VLC-player for getting newest version on lubuntu 12.10?
[17:59] <koud> Hello I have a question regarding system policy settings and network connection
[18:00] <koud> 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] <dean_> 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] <bioterror> you have ntfs-3g installed?
[18:42] <dean_> bioterror, Not too sure but I have been using it and had no problems until just
[18:44] <dean_> bioterror, I have just checked I do have ntfs-3g installed
[18:44] <bioterror> what was the error?
[18:45] <dean_> 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] <dean_> Do windows and linux not play nicely installed next to each other?
[18:47] <bioterror> they do
[18:47] <bioterror> but people really should use fstab
[18:48] <dean_> whats fstab?
[18:49] <dean_> So have I lost my files now is there no way to retrieve them again?
[18:50] <bioterror> probably no
[18:51] <dean_> Do you have any reason why this has happened? It was ok before?
[18:55] <p3-256mb> 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] <dean_> p3-256mb, You cant youtube relies on flash player
[18:57] <dean_> p3-256mb, Chrome has its own flash built in though
[18:59] <klausl> Hello!
[19:00] <bioterror> ha
[19:00] <bioterror> p3-256mb, http://www.youtube.com/html5
[19:00] <bioterror> join the survey
[19:00] <klausl> How do I get the disk index? So I can see which disks are connected.
[19:00] <p3-256mb> 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] <bioterror> klausl, sudo blkid for example
[19:02] <klausl> bioterror: No no! I mean like the work with Windows. Is there not in Lubuntu?
[19:02] <klausl> bioterror: Sorry for my bad english! No no! I mean like the workplace with Windows. Is there not in Lubuntu?
[19:03] <bioterror> I dont understand what you're after
[19:03] <klausl> bioterror: Where can I open the hard disk?
[19:04] <bioterror> on your table?
[19:04] <klausl> bioterror: No no! You don`t understand what I mean! Do you know Windows 7?
[19:05] <bioterror> I do, I use it on my work laptop
[19:05] <klausl> bioterror: And there is a Folder with Computer! Do you know?
[19:06] <bioterror> and?
[19:06] <klausl> bioterror: Does it give so a Folder in Lubuntu too?
[19:06] <bioterror> you have next to start button this file manager
[19:07] <bioterror> doesnt it do the same?
[19:07] <klausl> bioterror: Correct!
[19:07] <bioterror> :D
[19:08] <bioterror> sooo, what next
[19:08] <bioterror> p3-256mb, use youtube downloader and watch with mplayer
[19:28] <ladkiwi> hell
[19:28] <ladkiwi> hello
[19:32] <ladkiwi> Every time I log in to the laptop, it prompts me to enter the password for the default keyring. 
[19:32] <ladkiwi> 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] <bioterror> ladkiwi, yes. add tap to All users in the network settings
[19:56] <ladkiwi> bioterror, it was already done for all wireless connexions
[19:58] <bioterror> technically it should not ask then
[21:17] <chaospsychex> hi
[21:18] <chaospsychex> 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] <bioterror> yes
[21:20] <chaospsychex> ok thanks
[22:04] <zleap> erm you could use start up disk creator to make a usb install media
[22:06] <bioterror> why?
[22:06] <zleap> just a suggestion as to how to do things
[22:09] <bioterror> sounds difficult
[22:09] <bioterror> and a good waste of that feature that was finally included in ubuntu isos
[23:10] <focus_it> Is there a good place to go to for Lubuntu on arm / Lubuntu from sources?
[23:12] <xnox> focus_it: here or ubuntu-arm.
[23:13] <xnox> focus_it: not sure what you mean "from sources" though, since ubuntu is binary distribution.
[23:13] <focus_it> arm is naff environment - have to build everything from source files
[23:15] <Jimbo_> Can anyone here answer any questions about installation?
[23:16] <focus_it> can try
[23:18] <Jimbo_> 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] <focus_it> 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] <Jimbo_> Overwriting Ubuntu and keeping all my old partitions and data
[23:20] <focus_it> Slow laptop? change the disk for an SSD or a 7200 RPM - makes your laptop work like a desktop PC :-)
[23:21] <focus_it> No need to upgrade ubuntu if you don't want to! I rarely upgrade.
[23:22] <focus_it> 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] <Jimbo_> 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] <Jimbo_> Thanks by the way, for talking to me.
[23:23] <focus_it> what processor
[23:24] <Jimbo_> Pentium III I think.  Not sure how to find out from Ubuntu.  . I don't have the manual nearby.
[23:25] <focus_it> In terminal you can type gnome-system-monitor and on the system page you see memory and processor
[23:25] <focus_it> what memory you have?
[23:26] <focus_it> 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] <focus_it> that way you get best speed.
[23:26] <Jimbo_> Thanks.  Intel Pentium 4 Mobile 1.6ghz.
[23:27] <focus_it> more than fast enough for Lubuntu
[23:27] <Jimbo_> I don't have a USB2.  Very slow to backup all my data.
[23:28] <focus_it> do you have another Linux PC and ethernet connection to that PC?
[23:28] <Jimbo_> No
[23:28] <Jimbo_> Actually, I might be able to get one...
[23:29] <focus_it> If you can, then you can run ssh and copy everything over
[23:29] <Jimbo_> SSH?  DO I need a switch or hub for that?
[23:30] <focus_it> ssh is just secure file transfer
[23:30] <Jimbo_> How do you hook it up?  Do I just need some sort of ethernet crossover cable?
[23:31] <focus_it> You need a switch and then you connect your laptop and the PC to the switch.
[23:32] <focus_it> You may instead have a router - that is much better. They usually come with 4 ethernet ports on the back.
[23:32] <focus_it> That would allow you to connect the laptop and PC together.
[23:32] <Jimbo_> 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] <focus_it> the directory /home/Jimbo_/.evolution will contain everything - assuming your login name is Jimbo_
[23:36] <Jimbo_> Cab the email store be imported into the client (whatever it is) in Lubuntu?
[23:36] <focus_it> 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] <focus_it> that might be quickest
[23:37] <focus_it> otherwise, you can export everything in mbox format and re-import it - i haven't done that yet myself yet tho
[23:38] <Jimbo_> 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] <focus_it> Correct - wipe after saving the data first
[23:39] <focus_it> 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] <focus_it> if you are saving individual directories.
[23:40] <Jimbo_> Ok.  OOPS forgot to ask. .. Do I need to install SSH on both machines?  Or is this something built into Linux?
[23:40] <focus_it> May be better if you back up the entire home directory.
[23:42] <focus_it> you can check if ssh and openssh is installed - if not install them
[23:42] <Jimbo_>   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] <focus_it> yes - but you don't have to unless you gain something from it. the updates keep coming automatically
[23:43] <Jimbo_> Ok Thanks for all your time and advice!  Have a good week
[23:44] <focus_it> great! :-)
[23:45] <Shy> 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] <ascii> hello
[23:50] <ascii> I'm having problems installing lubuntu on a notebok
[23:50] <ascii> notebook
