[01:15] hello [01:17] If anyone isnt busy, im getting installer problems where the window closes after i finish the password/user phase [01:17] lubuntu 12.10 [01:39] Is it possible to disable the minimize/restore animation? [01:40] d1gital, yes, give me a moment to remember where [01:41] d'oh! found it. [01:41] k [01:41] obconf -> Appearance->Animate iconify and restore [01:43] hi im getting an "illegal instruction" error on the ubiquity installer for lubuntu 12.10. am i partitioning wrong? [01:44] 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. [01:48] xnox: im redoing the install with a password i dont care about exposing [05:33] 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? [05:35] If I remember correctly, the username is ubuntu and there is no password. [05:37] Username should be lubuntu and password is empty. The problem is if i input a wrong user name, i can not change it. [05:49] It uses lightdm, which should have an "other" user, if you aren't at that, press escape. [05:52] I was at that. Pressed escape but nothing happened. [05:57] honestly I dont see much point in logging out from LiveCD [09:49] Hello [09:50] 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 ? [13:27] 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? [17:54] hi [18:18] Hi [18:55] Query: is there any way to get rid of chromium without getting rid of lubuntu-desktop? [18:56] if its just for the space, i wouldnt worry about it too much [18:56] Nope, but it doesn't matter as lubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage. [18:58] Okay; mostly I just don't want chromium on my box. [18:59] Thanks! [19:40] Hi all. Does someone know why I could not install Lubuntu 12.10 alongside Windos XP? [19:41] 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? [19:49] the documentation says "The default "Desktop" installer requires 384-800 MB of RAM" [19:49] does this mean you cant use more than that? [19:49] Im confused [19:50] My system has 1GB of ram right now. [19:51] Dante, you can try photorec or something to get random files [19:51] most of the stuff is probably lost [19:51] uabn93: No, just that you need that much. [19:52] Unit193: ok. I filed a bug report because I cant get 12.10 to install. [19:52] just trying to solve my problem [19:53] 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] quite difficult to say afterwards [19:56] 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] Somehow I feel that installation should issue some warnings prior to erasing whole system! [19:57] how do i troubleshoot installation problems. the installer keeps crashing on me [19:57] yes, I think people should do all the partition manually by theirselves with fdisk or cfdisk [19:58] partitioning [20:01] maybe they should. And I should have made some backups prior installation... [20:02] think positive, more space for lubuntu! [20:03] uabn93: Use alternate, then. [20:06] Unit193: ill try that. thanks [20:09] 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] try photorec [20:09] !photorec [20:09] !filerecovery [20:10] !recovery [20:10] To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [20:10] stupid ubottu [20:10] Meh. [20:10] someone should teach it more smarter [20:10] !google ubuntu file recovery [20:10] I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ [20:10] :D [20:10] !altavista [20:10] having trouble with onboard onscreen keyboard. It opens as a blank black dialogue box [20:17] prpl, every other app works without a prob? [20:17] pretty much... [20:18] I just added it through the lubuntu software center [20:19] prpl: open a terminal and launch it from there see if you see any helpful error output [20:20] How should I use photorec. Run it on some boot cd? Something like this: http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ [20:23] holstein: onboard adds itself to the panel but the terminal say:(python:21462): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type _OB_WM_ACTION_UNDECORATE [20:24] I decorated it...so I could see it better but it's still a blank screen [20:24] I can undecorate through onboard-preferences [20:25] Dante___, I would insert usb hdd or something like that and salvage files to there [20:26] no keyboard shows up inside it's provided 2"x4" box [20:28] But can I run the Lubuntu itself from laptops hard drive? [20:29] what about running parted magic from a live cd...It has photorec [20:30] if you want [20:30] what ever suits your needs [20:31] still neede an alternate storade [20:31] storage* [20:31] I have external USB hard drive, which I have been using on Windows [20:32] sounds like alternate storage [20:32] I should only know which software to use, and where and how to run it. I am quite new to linux world.... [20:33] Especially cryptic command line is not obvious to me. [20:33] Dante__did you delete files, folder or what ? [20:34] Installed Lubuntu on Windows XP laptop [20:34] and it never warned me that it will delete everything [20:34] i wanted to have both [20:34] It took outb XP? [20:36] yes [20:36] no dual boot option, no trace of old windows files.. :( [20:37] So lubuntu occupies the whole drive ? [20:37] yes [20:37] Ever run the terminal ? [20:37] its 80 gb drive [20:37] oops [20:37] with windows on it it had some 40 gb free [20:37] now, after installation there is some 70 gb free [20:37] free but not on a seperate partition [20:38] windows was on one partition with 40 gb free [20:38] yes, Lubuntu took over the whole drive! [20:38] exactly [20:38] ok...have you done anything on the new install yet ? [20:39] are youn using it now ? [20:39] but (stupid me!) I supposed that installer will handle it. I suppose Ubuntu can be "easily" installed alongside windows. [20:39] I did nothing after i noticed all is gone. [20:39] Is that the selection you made ?? [20:40] install alongside? [20:40] actually there was no such option available [20:40] first was to delete windows [20:40] thye first option was close to that [20:40] second was something with SVN(?!?!) [20:40] or one of the options [20:41] and third was "so something else" [20:41] phororec is a great tool.. i use it from the ultimate boot cd live.. but you can install testdisk [20:41] doesnt really matter at ythis point how you got here...gotta get testdisk or photorec [20:42] so I was surprised NOT to see alongside option, and took the second option [20:42] no, it really does not. [20:42] but yet I am surprised how it never asked me any confirmation to delete everything [20:43] is there some bug or something, or am I just plain stupid?! [20:43] You gotta move slow through that part of the installation so you dont do exactly taht [20:43] that* [20:44] I think he needs testdisk at this point [20:44] It will let you dig down to previous installations and rewrite them [20:44] ie windows [20:45] testdisk, what is that.. have to google a little bit... [20:47] is it possible that testdisk can do something although whole installation has been written on the drive? [20:47] it comes on the parted magic repair restore all around helper tool cd 250 plus mb download [20:48] Dante__yes it can help [20:48] It can see the old windows installation [20:49] I cant guarantee it of course but it save d me once big time [20:50] more you wonder, more data you might loose [20:50] that laptop is now off, I am trying to build strategy to salvage it now [20:51] you put livecd in [20:51] like TRK [20:51] you insert usb drive [20:51] you mount it [20:51] Ok, I have to make parted magic cd, and run testdisk from there? [20:51] and you use the software you want to copy the data to this usb storage [20:52] yep [20:52] as you probably understand that you can copy the stuff back to this over writter drive [20:52] you cant [20:52] and written [20:52] boot from the live cd and possibly rewrite the windows to the same drive same location [20:53] or just grab the .jpg and other files from there [20:53] bio...testdisk can rewrite to the same lovation [20:53] location [20:53] basically i dont care about the windows, only user files it had (photos, documents, etc) [20:53] I once did data rescue at work [20:54] never again [20:54] testdisk woill let you see the filoes and you can copy to usb... [20:54] too stressful [20:54] I accidentally saw that mature ladys naked pictures [20:54] haha....not the stress [20:55] fear of data [20:56] Fear of data... who knows what I will find... [20:56] the reason I suggest parted magic is because it is a full operating system but is only 250 plus mb to download [20:57] and it has photorec testdisk ...and plenty more [20:57] TRK <3 [20:57] ok that sounds very good [20:57] whats TRK ? [20:57] and prob I can mount my ext usb drive there too? === Topy44 is now known as T44 [20:57] prpl, http://trinityhome.org [20:58] I was also wondering what is TRK?! [20:59] It is the same as [parted magic ...but different... [20:59] so it seems [20:59] click the link and download it [21:00] it seems there is lot of tools available.. how should I sum this up? Parted magic, testdisk and photorec? Or TRK? [21:00] And what about this http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ [21:00] TRK..the link is right above you [21:01] Thanks, I saw it... [21:01] TRK has testdisk [21:01] it also has photorec [21:02] And you can keepit handy for the next foible [21:02] Ok, they have same software [21:02] do you know about gddrescue [21:03] not I [21:03] gddrescue is a GUI thingie for ddrescue [21:04] Once you rescue your stuff you will be standing on street corners presching about how TRK saved your life ! [21:04] or something like that [21:04] I've used dd_rescue and ddrescue [21:04] or testdisk really [21:04] i hope that [21:05] never used photorec [21:05] or maybe i spend some tedious hours in rescue, to find out that there actually was never anything really necessary... [21:05] maybe [21:06] Rescue the stuff anyway [21:06] anyhow, I have to try, since it is my girllfriends laptop [21:07] Ok guys, it is bedtime here, so thank you very much! Tomorrow I will tackle the problem! [21:07] gdluck [21:07] öitä :D [21:08] Jahaa, öitä & good night! :) [21:08] nite === len is now known as Guest77411 === mkv is now known as m4v
