[05:05] <BenMcLean> hey guys
[05:06] <BenMcLean> anybody know if ROS will run on top of lubuntu?
[05:35] <BenMcLean> i got a windows 7 computer to work from to install lubuntu on another computer (old netbook) which doesn't have a disc drive
[05:36] <BenMcLean> it only has 512 MB of RAM, so I figure that means the alternative installer is needed
[05:36] <BenMcLean> how do I prepare this flash drive? the "Universal USB Installer" program doesn't support the alternative installer for lubuntu
[05:47] <BenMcLean> linux live usb creator seems to be working. dunno if that means the usb will be usable to install lubuntu or if it just wants to run live off the usb
[05:49] <JohnDoe_71Rus> you can try netboot install
[05:51] <Amgine> <used 'Imagewriter' on debian, and it worked a charm.>
[06:38] <BenMcLean> i used linux live creator but install failed during the "select software" part after the configure package manager part
[06:38] <BenMcLean> after several retries, i eventually had it skip that and go to the next bit
[06:38] <BenMcLean> not suprisingly, lubuntu doesn't actually load
[06:38] <BenMcLean> just gives blank screen at first boot
[06:48] <BenMcLean> i'll try the regular installer in case that magically works. dunno why the alternative lightweight installer isn't already the regular installer .... grumble grumble
[07:08] <BenMcLean> hrm this netbook has a 4 gb hard drive and 512 mb of ram
[07:08] <BenMcLean> lubuntu installer seems to be saying it requires 4.4 gb hard drive
[07:08] <holstein> i used to load up on 4gb sd cards
[07:08] <BenMcLean> that seems ... overboard. is it reallly that big?
[07:08] <holstein> BenMcLean: i wouldnt worry with what says what.. and who says who.. what do you want? the mini iso?
[07:09] <BenMcLean> mini iso? hadn't heard of that
[07:09] <BenMcLean> i got disconnected ealier and i'm on the web irc portal so i dont have logs. if anybody responded to me earlier, sry i misse dit
[07:09] <holstein> i would get https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ..install, and then get the minimum that fits
[07:10] <holstein> OR, take 8 bucks and get a 16gb sd card
[07:10] <BenMcLean> hrm good idea
[07:14] <BenMcLean> holstein is mini iso the same thing as this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/11.04MinimalDiskSpace
[07:15] <holstein> BenMcLean: i linked 12.04
[07:17] <BenMcLean> arent we supposed to be on 12.10 now?
[07:17] <holstein> BenMcLean: you linked 11.04... there is no "supposed"
[07:18] <BenMcLean> i mean 12.10 is newest stable
[07:18] <BenMcLean> release
[07:19] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD has both
[07:19] <holstein> i use 12.04.. the core is LTS
[07:22] <BenMcLean> check check, this window still working?
[07:23] <holstein> ?
[07:23] <BenMcLean> when i download it and try it, it's not lubuntu it's regular ubuntu. what gives
[07:23] <holstein> BenMcLean: lubuntu *is* ubuntu
[07:23] <holstein> BenMcLean: you install mini ubuntu.. then install what you like.. lxde for example
[07:23] <BenMcLean> o i c
[07:23] <holstein> you can sudo apt-get whatever will fit
[07:26] <BenMcLean> i'm gonna have to do that tomorrow or some other time. three failed install attempts is my quota for tonight yawn
[07:26] <BenMcLean> thanks for the advice holstein
[07:26] <holstein> BenMcLean: sure.. check the sums too
[07:26] <BenMcLean> the 16 gb sd card sounds like a ttly good idea
[07:26] <holstein> !md5 | BenMcLean
[07:26] <BenMcLean> holstein, since i'm installing via USB, i'm not sure that really makes sense in this case
[07:27] <holstein> BenMcLean: i use unetbootin
[07:27] <holstein> the fact that its installing from or to USB doesnt matter to the software or hardare
[07:27] <holstein> hardware*
[07:29] <BenMcLean> kk well goodnight thanks :)
[07:29] <holstein> im sure you'll sort it out
[07:29] <BenMcLean> hope so
[07:29] <holstein> i install *buntu on eeepc's all the time
[14:12] <jente> hi, i am running lubuntu 12.10 on an intel Q35 express chipset/GMA 3100 (lubuntu using kernel module i915, Xorg with DRI2 and UXA enabled) on a 1920x1200 screen. full-screen video playback with mplayer (not mplayer2) seems sluggish or choppy, i would say some artifacts are visible, too. is that a driver issue/misconfiguration or is the hardware too weak?
[14:17] <jente> from what i pick up on the net, the hardware should be able to deal with that, but the ubuntu wiki on intel performance from april 2012 mentions issues with UXA/DRI2 - which seems to have been solved
[14:57] <a_b0y> when connecting smartphone to computer how do i allow Ubuntu to share its internet connection? thanks
[15:09] <a_b0y> when connecting smartphone to computer how do i allow Ubuntu to share its internet connection? thanks
[15:17] <danielsp> a_b0y, Enable USB-tethering and Ubuntu should use the connection
[15:17] <danielsp> I that what you mean??
[15:18] <a_b0y> i mean the other way around
[15:19] <danielsp> Ok. Then I'm not sure how :(
[17:58] <TheLordOfTime> does Lubuntu have LTS releases?
[18:09] <cjohnston> gilir doesn't seem to be around.. does anyone know if the blueprints for Lubuntu Raring are all setup and ready for status.ubuntu.com?
[19:08] <mdik> hi. can i just dd the iso onto an usb stick to boot/install from that?
[19:08] <mdik> like "dd if=/path/to/lubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdx"
[19:11] <bioterror> yes
[19:19] <mdik> nice
[19:30] <drag0nius> anyone familiar with plop?
[19:37] <fomg-optimize> Hiya peeps!
[19:37] <fomg-optimize> Just found a bug,
[19:37] <jarnos> Does 12.04 depend on pulseaudio?
[19:37] <fomg-optimize> screensaver stops xfce power manager from shutting off the screen
[19:37] <TheLordOfTime> report it as a bug then?
[19:38] <fomg-optimize> Just want to know if others have the same issue before reporting
[19:39] <fomg-optimize> If I disable screensaver xfce si able to shut down the screen after x minutes
[19:39] <fomg-optimize> Otherwise not
[19:39] <fomg-optimize> And by that I mean xfce power manager
[20:19] <curlymeatball38> I just upgraded from Lubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 in VirtualBox and now when I startup the screen is black except for the mouse pointer, and I can open up lxterminal and task manager using keyboard shortcuts, and then other programs through terminal.  How can I get it to show my desktop and such?
