| Travis | Hello all | 01:10 |

| Travis | I am having issues getting my b43 drivers working with Lubuntu. Can anyone assist me? | 01:13 |
| holstein | !broadcom | 01:20 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 01:20 |
| holstein | Travis: thats what i refer to each time | 01:20 |
| Travis | ok | 01:21 |
| Travis | I like the idea of total encryption too. | 01:21 |
| holstein | Travis: ? | 01:21 |
| Travis | When I installed Lubuntu, it asked if I wanted to encrypt the drive. | 01:21 |
| holstein | Travis: you can like what you want.. but that doesnt have anything to do with the driver you are going to use | 01:21 |
| holstein | Travis: that doesnt have anything to do with wireless.. or networking | 01:22 |
| Travis | I know that. | 01:22 |
| Travis | Was just stating how much I like it. | 01:22 |
| holstein | i c | 01:22 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer typically works well/best for the broadcom chips i have | 01:23 |
| Travis | ok I gotta run for a bit, but will be back. | 01:23 |
| Travis | ok am back :D | 01:54 |
| Travis | holstein, thanks! | 02:40 |
| Travis | ubottu, thank you! | 02:40 |
| Travis | wireless works, after a little RTFM | 02:40 |

| lukavecki | Hi all, how can I change the names of files on the desktop? | 04:41 |
| lukavecki | rename doesn't work, and neither does changing the name in the properties dialog (maybe I have to edit the properties as root?) | 04:42 |
| lukavecki | It appears I have to edit the .desktop file itself. | 04:46 |
| lukavecki | Not the fanciest solution, but it works | 04:46 |

| fxn | hi, I have some machines affected by the Ctrl-C bug of lxterminal, is there a way I can install https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxterminal/0.1.11-4ubuntu3 ? | 11:06 |
| nortti | fxn: can't you sue xterm? | 11:17 |
| fxn | nortti: yep | 11:20 |
| nortti | *use | 11:21 |
| fxn | nortti: same problem | 11:21 |
| fxn | nortti: in xterm I do Ctrl-Shift-C, and a Ctrl-C is sent to the terminal | 11:21 |
| fxn | then Ctrl-Shift-V appends an spurious character at the end | 11:23 |
| fxn | ah, xterm does not even copy the text | 11:25 |
| tsimpson | xterm uses select as copy, and middle-click as paste | 11:25 |
| fxn | ah, didn't know that, apparently it also works in lxterminal | 11:28 |
| nortti | it is part of x11 | 11:29 |
| nortti | you can do that in every app | 11:29 |
| fxn | awesome, don't need the shortcuts with this option then, thanks guys | 11:30 |

| superdmp | hello, would anyone happen to know whether the latest version of lubuntu will work on an ancient (PIII) Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300? | 20:55 |
| bioterror | try with LiveCD if it doesnt support usb boot | 20:55 |
| Unit193 | My guess is that the PIII won't support PAE. | 20:55 |
| bioterror | Unit193, hard to say, it was used in servers! | 20:56 |
| superdmp | after the furst Lubuntu screem, it throws up a few lines and ends with "[….] kernel_thread_helper […]" | 20:56 |
| superdmp | this is from CD | 20:56 |
| superdmp | what's PAE? | 20:56 |
| bioterror | !pae | 20:56 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 20:56 |
| superdmp | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2087468 - 10.4 worked, apparently | 20:58 |
| holstein | superdmp: i would try 12.04 | 21:04 |
| superdmp | holstein: this is 12.04.something that's not booting | 21:05 |
| superdmp | sorry, that's not right | 21:06 |
| holstein | superdmp: i would have no issues using a 10.04 version of something on that hardware | 21:06 |
| superdmp | this is 12.10 | 21:06 |
| holstein | superdmp: i would look into some lubuntu and ubuntu variants such as peppermintOS, puppy linux, bodhi.. something made for older hardware | 21:06 |
| holstein | superdmp: i would expect 12.10 to fail, where 12.04 might work.. | 21:06 |
| gomiboy | using 12.04 on a p3 800mhz here, works perfec.... works. :) | 21:07 |
| holstein | yup.. i have had the 12.04 work and the 12.10 fail on similar hardware | 21:07 |
| superdmp | i'll try 12.04 then thanks | 21:08 |
| DJRWolf | anyone have experence with lubuntu on a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 and using wi-fi? | 21:50 |
| holstein | DJRWolf: no.. but im going to assume you have a broadcom chip and its not working | 21:53 |
| holstein | i would install... and hardware to internet and follow | 21:53 |
| holstein | !broadcom | DJRWolf | 21:53 |
| ubottu | DJRWolf: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 21:53 |
| holstein | i installed ubuntu 10.04 on a mini9 | 21:54 |
| DJRWolf | the Dell website says WLAN 1510 Half MiniCard, Dell Wireless 1397 | 21:57 |
| DJRWolf | I booted off of a live media flash drive and it did not even see the wireless as being there | 21:57 |
| holstein | DJRWolf: you can install, or boot a live CD.. you can run a terminal and run lspci | 21:58 |
| holstein | DJRWolf: the ones i have seen were a broadcom | 21:58 |
| holstein | DJRWolf: are you in the live environment now? | 21:59 |
| DJRWolf | no, somone ealts is looking into installing the factory image of WinXP, but I'll continue to try to push lubuntu to replace that since it is not a 10 year old OS | 22:06 |

| DJRWolf | thanks for the help, but have to log, later | 22:06 |
| llogiq | Hi folks. I have a problem w/ gphoto2 on quantal. | 23:01 |
| llogiq | the camera is correctly identified, and gthumb shows thumbnails correctly, but importing the pictures (via gthumb or pcmanfm) just stops at 0% and stays there. No error message, no logging, nothing. | 23:03 |
| llogiq | Googling brought up someone with the same problem, but no solution. | 23:04 |
| llogiq | With gphoto2, it appears to work, so that was probably related to FUSE. | 23:10 |
| llogiq | cu folks. | 23:11 |
