[00:26] <ascii> Well, it finally got past it, but I'm not sure what made it because I made several changes altogether: I plugged in the battery, noapic and nolapic

[12:01] <DarkSim> Hello :) I was thinking about trying Lubuntu, but I already have Ubuntu 12.10 installed, can I install Lubuntu without having to reinstall everything?
[12:01] <bioterror> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[12:01] <bioterror> !purelxde
[12:03] <DarkSim> Thank you bioterror, so do I install Lubuntu first, then remove Ubuntu?
[12:03] <bioterror> yes
[12:04] <bioterror> if find lubuntu satisfying
[12:04] <DarkSim> can I run Lubuntu even if I have Ubuntu still on it, so I can try it out first
[12:04] <DarkSim> I've tried everything now but LXDE haha, a lot of people recommended it so I thought hey
[12:04] <DarkSim> let's do this
[12:04] <bioterror> yes
[12:05] <bioterror> you can choose your desired session
[12:05] <DarkSim> Hm, command doesn't work
[12:06] <DarkSim> Seems to be a lot of dependencies which is the problem
[12:07] <DarkSim> bioterror, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1352964/
[12:08] <bioterror> give that -f ;)
[12:08] <DarkSim> Didn't work either
[12:08] <DarkSim> Try apt-get -f install with no packages (or specify a solution)
[12:10] <bioterror> can you sudo apt-get purge libqtgui4
[12:10] <DarkSim> nope
[12:11] <DarkSim> May be of help, I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 yesterday
[12:12] <bioterror> hmm
[12:12] <bioterror> sudo apt-get autoremove
[12:12] <bioterror> does it remove unneeded stuff?
[12:12] <DarkSim> 2 dependencies
[12:13] <DarkSim> tried -f
[12:13] <DarkSim> no something happened
[12:13] <DarkSim> now*
[12:13] <bioterror> it's nice when you get dependency problems :D
[12:14] <DarkSim> removingremovingremovingremoving
[12:14] <bioterror> :-)
[12:14] <DarkSim> Ok I might have lied earlier I haven't tried all DE's but I tried a few now :P
[12:14] <DarkSim> now I'm done with autoremove, so what's next, Lubuntu?
[12:14] <DarkSim> or update?
[12:15] <bioterror> try sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[12:15] <DarkSim> Woop woop :)
[12:16] <DarkSim> I need to check out a few things about changing themes though since the only reason I haven't tried LXDE yet was because all the screenshots of it was so ugly haha
[12:17]  * bioterror gives bad eye
[12:17] <DarkSim> I'm sorry, but the internet gave me a bad image of LXDE
[12:18] <DarkSim> It looked like some kind of kindergarden OS to me with all those horribly bright colored buttons everywhere
[12:18] <DarkSim> Hopefully I am wrong
[12:18] <DarkSim> Which I probably am
[12:18] <bioterror> 11.10 looks good
[12:18] <bioterror> and also this 12.10
[12:24] <DarkSim> Installation is done, bioterror
[12:34] <DarkSim> Hello again
[12:48] <DarkSim> Trying out and configuring LXDE right now
[12:49] <DarkSim> It's not as bad I thought, but it's not really a miracle either, hard to put my finger on it
[12:49] <bioterror> once you pop, you cant stop!
[12:49] <bioterror> so what's the problem?
[12:50] <DarkSim> Trying to make the UI a bit more hip, a bit more pop
[12:50] <bioterror> but it's that by default
[12:55] <DarkSim> If I judge things from out of the box I think Xfce still has my top score
[12:55] <DarkSim> since it's really easy to adjust properly
[12:55] <DarkSim> but I will just spend some more time in Lxde and see if I can make it work there as well
[12:56] <DarkSim> Since if I can then it's a win since Lxde is lighter and faster
[13:03] <bioterror> DarkSim, lxde + openbox is quite versatile if you are used to terminal
[13:03] <DarkSim> Which I am not :(
[13:04] <DarkSim> I don't want to rant too much in here, it's not right
[13:04] <DarkSim> I'll just cope with it
[14:53] <blup1> hello
[14:53] <blup1> I have a question
[14:53] <blup1> how can I change the name of My computer?
[14:53] <blup1> I tried it with the command Hostaname .... , but it didnt chance anything
[14:55] <leoquant> blup1, via /etc/hosts
[14:55] <leoquant> but it is tricky
[14:56] <leoquant> /etc/hostname
[14:57] <leoquant> linkage: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-change-hostname-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[14:59] <leoquant> these two files you have to "rename"
[15:01] <blup1> ah, you mean the content of these files :D
[15:01] <blup1> ok, thanks
[15:04] <leoquant> lol indeed
[15:05] <leoquant> ツ
[15:06] <blup1> another question
[15:07] <blup1> how to transfer something between two laptops via "Create new wireless Network"?
[17:07] <ToeTag> Does anyone know what specifically is different about the "MAC" .iso  for Lubu?
[17:21] <managical> I got lubuntu on my pc and its got everything all revved up. I noticed acpid wasn't installed so I downloaded that off synaptic. I'm not sure how to manage the power settings are we still using cpu-freq?
[17:24] <ToeTag> managing power in regards to battery life?
[17:26] <ToeTag> The utility <jupiter> always receives really high accolades
[17:26] <ToeTag> in regards to tuning the cpy/kernel/hardware with respect to battery/AC
[17:27] <managical> um no I mean like power saving settings, my fans and everything are spinning full force
