| uabn93 | hello | 01:15 |
|---|---|---|
| uabn93 | If anyone isnt busy, im getting installer problems where the window closes after i finish the password/user phase | 01:17 |
| uabn93 | lubuntu 12.10 | 01:17 |
| d1gital | Is it possible to disable the minimize/restore animation? | 01:39 |
| phiscribe | d1gital, yes, give me a moment to remember where | 01:40 |
| d1gital | d'oh! found it. | 01:41 |
| phiscribe | k | 01:41 |
| d1gital | obconf -> Appearance->Animate iconify and restore | 01:41 |
| uabn93 | hi im getting an "illegal instruction" error on the ubiquity installer for lubuntu 12.10. am i partitioning wrong? | 01:43 |
| xnox | uabn93: switch to tty1, if possible and file a bug with `ubuntu-bug ubiquity` this should attach all relevant logs & print a url to go to complete the bug filing. | 01:44 |
| uabn93 | xnox: im redoing the install with a password i dont care about exposing | 01:48 |
| scigod | when using lubuntu live cd, i logout and try to login again, but i input a wrong user name, how can i go back to change user name? | 05:33 |
| Unit193 | If I remember correctly, the username is ubuntu and there is no password. | 05:35 |
| scigod | Username should be lubuntu and password is empty. The problem is if i input a wrong user name, i can not change it. | 05:37 |
| Unit193 | It uses lightdm, which should have an "other" user, if you aren't at that, press escape. | 05:49 |
| scigod | I was at that. Pressed escape but nothing happened. | 05:52 |
| bioterror | honestly I dont see much point in logging out from LiveCD | 05:57 |
| ladkiwi | Hello | 09:49 |
| ladkiwi | Each time I open a new folder with pcmanfm it opens in a new tab of an existing pcmanfm window. Even if I am on another desktop. Is there a way to change this behavior ? | 09:50 |
| dyd | i need to get some parameters from a udev event (usb insertion) that triggers a bash script. I managed to find that $ID_VENDOR has the value of ATTRS{vendor}, now i need to know how i can get the values of ATTRS{model}, ATTRS{idVendor}, ATTRS{idProduct}, ATTRS{bcdDevice}, ATTRS{serial}. Anyone knows how i can get them in my bash script? | 13:27 |
| leszek | hi | 17:54 |
| danielsp | Hi | 18:18 |
| Amgine | Query: is there any way to get rid of chromium without getting rid of lubuntu-desktop? | 18:55 |
| holstein | if its just for the space, i wouldnt worry about it too much | 18:56 |
| Unit193 | Nope, but it doesn't matter as lubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage. | 18:56 |
| Amgine | Okay; mostly I just don't want chromium on my box. | 18:58 |
| Amgine | Thanks! | 18:59 |
| Dante | Hi all. Does someone know why I could not install Lubuntu 12.10 alongside Windos XP? | 19:40 |
| Dante | There never was such option during installation. And as a consequence of that, installation erased whole windows with all data in it. Which leads to another question: is there any way to get data back? | 19:41 |
| uabn93 | the documentation says "The default "Desktop" installer requires 384-800 MB of RAM" | 19:49 |
| uabn93 | does this mean you cant use more than that? | 19:49 |
| uabn93 | Im confused | 19:49 |
| uabn93 | My system has 1GB of ram right now. | 19:50 |
| bioterror | Dante, you can try photorec or something to get random files | 19:51 |
| bioterror | most of the stuff is probably lost | 19:51 |
| Unit193 | uabn93: No, just that you need that much. | 19:51 |
| uabn93 | Unit193: ok. I filed a bug report because I cant get 12.10 to install. | 19:52 |
| uabn93 | just trying to solve my problem | 19:52 |
| Dante | Bioterror, that I am afraid about... But how there was no such option to "install alongside Windows". Only first option had warning that all data will be lost. I chose second option, and then it all was gone. | 19:53 |
| bioterror | quite difficult to say afterwards | 19:53 |
| Dante | For example this page (this is for older Lubuntu) shows such option: http://launchintolinux.wordpress.com/2012/04/04/installing-lubuntu-a-step-by-step-guide-to-dual-booting/ | 19:56 |
| Dante | Somehow I feel that installation should issue some warnings prior to erasing whole system! | 19:56 |
| uabn93 | how do i troubleshoot installation problems. the installer keeps crashing on me | 19:57 |
| bioterror | yes, I think people should do all the partition manually by theirselves with fdisk or cfdisk | 19:57 |
| bioterror | partitioning | 19:58 |
| Dante | maybe they should. And I should have made some backups prior installation... | 20:01 |
| bioterror | think positive, more space for lubuntu! | 20:02 |
| Unit193 | uabn93: Use alternate, then. | 20:03 |
| uabn93 | Unit193: ill try that. thanks | 20:06 |
| Dante | More space yes, but I am sorry for my girlfriend who lost bunch of photos of other files because of my stupidity, and somewhat unintuitive installer..! | 20:09 |
| bioterror | try photorec | 20:09 |
| bioterror | !photorec | 20:09 |
| bioterror | !filerecovery | 20:09 |
| Unit193 | !recovery | 20:10 |
| ubottu | To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 20:10 |
| bioterror | stupid ubottu | 20:10 |
| Unit193 | Meh. | 20:10 |
| bioterror | someone should teach it more smarter | 20:10 |
| bioterror | !google ubuntu file recovery | 20:10 |
| ubottu | I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ | 20:10 |
| bioterror | :D | 20:10 |
| bioterror | !altavista | 20:10 |
| prpl | having trouble with onboard onscreen keyboard. It opens as a blank black dialogue box | 20:10 |
| bioterror | prpl, every other app works without a prob? | 20:17 |
| prpl | pretty much... | 20:17 |
| prpl | I just added it through the lubuntu software center | 20:18 |
| holstein | prpl: open a terminal and launch it from there see if you see any helpful error output | 20:19 |
| Dante___ | How should I use photorec. Run it on some boot cd? Something like this: http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ | 20:20 |
| prpl | holstein: onboard adds itself to the panel but the terminal say:(python:21462): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type _OB_WM_ACTION_UNDECORATE | 20:23 |
| prpl | I decorated it...so I could see it better but it's still a blank screen | 20:24 |
| prpl | I can undecorate through onboard-preferences | 20:24 |
| bioterror | Dante___, I would insert usb hdd or something like that and salvage files to there | 20:25 |
| prpl | no keyboard shows up inside it's provided 2"x4" box | 20:26 |
| Dante___ | But can I run the Lubuntu itself from laptops hard drive? | 20:28 |
| prpl | what about running parted magic from a live cd...It has photorec | 20:29 |
| bioterror | if you want | 20:30 |
| bioterror | what ever suits your needs | 20:30 |
| prpl | still neede an alternate storade | 20:31 |
| prpl | storage* | 20:31 |
| Dante___ | I have external USB hard drive, which I have been using on Windows | 20:31 |
| prpl | sounds like alternate storage | 20:32 |
| Dante___ | I should only know which software to use, and where and how to run it. I am quite new to linux world.... | 20:32 |
| Dante___ | Especially cryptic command line is not obvious to me. | 20:33 |
| prpl | Dante__did you delete files, folder or what ? | 20:33 |
| Dante___ | Installed Lubuntu on Windows XP laptop | 20:34 |
| Dante___ | and it never warned me that it will delete everything | 20:34 |
| Dante___ | i wanted to have both | 20:34 |
| prpl | It took outb XP? | 20:34 |
| Dante___ | yes | 20:36 |
| Dante___ | no dual boot option, no trace of old windows files.. :( | 20:36 |
| prpl | So lubuntu occupies the whole drive ? | 20:37 |
| Dante___ | yes | 20:37 |
| prpl | Ever run the terminal ? | 20:37 |
| Dante___ | its 80 gb drive | 20:37 |
| prpl | oops | 20:37 |
| Dante___ | with windows on it it had some 40 gb free | 20:37 |
| Dante___ | now, after installation there is some 70 gb free | 20:37 |
| prpl | free but not on a seperate partition | 20:37 |
| prpl | windows was on one partition with 40 gb free | 20:38 |
| Dante___ | yes, Lubuntu took over the whole drive! | 20:38 |
| Dante___ | exactly | 20:38 |
| prpl | ok...have you done anything on the new install yet ? | 20:38 |
| prpl | are youn using it now ? | 20:39 |
| Dante___ | but (stupid me!) I supposed that installer will handle it. I suppose Ubuntu can be "easily" installed alongside windows. | 20:39 |
| Dante___ | I did nothing after i noticed all is gone. | 20:39 |
| prpl | Is that the selection you made ?? | 20:39 |
| prpl | install alongside? | 20:40 |
| Dante___ | actually there was no such option available | 20:40 |
| Dante___ | first was to delete windows | 20:40 |
| prpl | thye first option was close to that | 20:40 |
| Dante___ | second was something with SVN(?!?!) | 20:40 |
| prpl | or one of the options | 20:40 |
| Dante___ | and third was "so something else" | 20:41 |
| holstein | phororec is a great tool.. i use it from the ultimate boot cd live.. but you can install testdisk | 20:41 |
| prpl | doesnt really matter at ythis point how you got here...gotta get testdisk or photorec | 20:41 |
| Dante___ | so I was surprised NOT to see alongside option, and took the second option | 20:42 |
| Dante___ | no, it really does not. | 20:42 |
| Dante___ | but yet I am surprised how it never asked me any confirmation to delete everything | 20:42 |
| Dante___ | is there some bug or something, or am I just plain stupid?! | 20:43 |
| prpl | You gotta move slow through that part of the installation so you dont do exactly taht | 20:43 |
| prpl | that* | 20:43 |
| prpl | I think he needs testdisk at this point | 20:44 |
| prpl | It will let you dig down to previous installations and rewrite them | 20:44 |
| prpl | ie windows | 20:44 |
| Dante___ | testdisk, what is that.. have to google a little bit... | 20:45 |
| Dante___ | is it possible that testdisk can do something although whole installation has been written on the drive? | 20:47 |
| prpl | it comes on the parted magic repair restore all around helper tool cd 250 plus mb download | 20:47 |
| prpl | Dante__yes it can help | 20:48 |
| prpl | It can see the old windows installation | 20:48 |
| prpl | I cant guarantee it of course but it save d me once big time | 20:49 |
| bioterror | more you wonder, more data you might loose | 20:50 |
| Dante___ | that laptop is now off, I am trying to build strategy to salvage it now | 20:50 |
| bioterror | you put livecd in | 20:51 |
| bioterror | like TRK | 20:51 |
| bioterror | you insert usb drive | 20:51 |
| bioterror | you mount it | 20:51 |
| Dante___ | Ok, I have to make parted magic cd, and run testdisk from there? | 20:51 |
| bioterror | and you use the software you want to copy the data to this usb storage | 20:51 |
| prpl | yep | 20:52 |
| bioterror | as you probably understand that you can copy the stuff back to this over writter drive | 20:52 |
| bioterror | you cant | 20:52 |
| bioterror | and written | 20:52 |
| prpl | boot from the live cd and possibly rewrite the windows to the same drive same location | 20:52 |
| bioterror | or just grab the .jpg and other files from there | 20:53 |
| prpl | bio...testdisk can rewrite to the same lovation | 20:53 |
| prpl | location | 20:53 |
| Dante___ | basically i dont care about the windows, only user files it had (photos, documents, etc) | 20:53 |
| bioterror | I once did data rescue at work | 20:53 |
| bioterror | never again | 20:54 |
| prpl | testdisk woill let you see the filoes and you can copy to usb... | 20:54 |
| prpl | too stressful | 20:54 |
| bioterror | I accidentally saw that mature ladys naked pictures | 20:54 |
| prpl | haha....not the stress | 20:54 |
| prpl | fear of data | 20:55 |
| Dante___ | Fear of data... who knows what I will find... | 20:56 |
| prpl | the reason I suggest parted magic is because it is a full operating system but is only 250 plus mb to download | 20:56 |
| prpl | and it has photorec testdisk ...and plenty more | 20:57 |
| bioterror | TRK <3 | 20:57 |
| Dante___ | ok that sounds very good | 20:57 |
| prpl | whats TRK ? | 20:57 |
| Dante___ | and prob I can mount my ext usb drive there too? | 20:57 |
| === Topy44 is now known as T44 | ||
| bioterror | prpl, http://trinityhome.org | 20:57 |
| Dante___ | I was also wondering what is TRK?! | 20:58 |
| prpl | It is the same as [parted magic ...but different... | 20:59 |
| Dante___ | so it seems | 20:59 |
| prpl | click the link and download it | 20:59 |
| Dante___ | it seems there is lot of tools available.. how should I sum this up? Parted magic, testdisk and photorec? Or TRK? | 21:00 |
| Dante___ | And what about this http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ | 21:00 |
| prpl | TRK..the link is right above you | 21:00 |
| Dante___ | Thanks, I saw it... | 21:01 |
| bioterror | TRK has testdisk | 21:01 |
| bioterror | it also has photorec | 21:01 |
| prpl | And you can keepit handy for the next foible | 21:02 |
| Dante___ | Ok, they have same software | 21:02 |
| Dante___ | do you know about gddrescue | 21:02 |
| prpl | not I | 21:03 |
| bioterror | gddrescue is a GUI thingie for ddrescue | 21:03 |
| prpl | Once you rescue your stuff you will be standing on street corners presching about how TRK saved your life ! | 21:04 |
| bioterror | or something like that | 21:04 |
| bioterror | I've used dd_rescue and ddrescue | 21:04 |
| prpl | or testdisk really | 21:04 |
| Dante___ | i hope that | 21:04 |
| prpl | never used photorec | 21:05 |
| Dante___ | or maybe i spend some tedious hours in rescue, to find out that there actually was never anything really necessary... | 21:05 |
| bioterror | maybe | 21:05 |
| prpl | Rescue the stuff anyway | 21:06 |
| Dante___ | anyhow, I have to try, since it is my girllfriends laptop | 21:06 |
| Dante___ | Ok guys, it is bedtime here, so thank you very much! Tomorrow I will tackle the problem! | 21:07 |
| prpl | gdluck | 21:07 |
| bioterror | öitä :D | 21:07 |
| Dante___ | Jahaa, öitä & good night! :) | 21:08 |
| prpl | nite | 21:08 |
