| vb | anyone using dell d610? | 00:24 |
| vb | i'm having issues installing lubuntu | 00:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | !details | 00:29 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 00:29 |
| vb | for me? | 00:29 |
| vb | are you willing to help? | 00:29 |
| TheLordOfTime | i'm saying nobody will help you if you don't explain what "issues" you're having. | 00:30 |
| vb | well, not booting, frozen loading screen, i have to run with acpi off | 00:30 |
| vb | i am trying to install it and i get ubi-partman exit error 10 | 00:35 |
| vb | i managed to get lubuntu working from usb with acpi off, but i can't install it on hdd | 00:36 |
| bennypr0fane | vb what's acpi? | 00:40 |
| Analogymous | @vb I just succeeded in installing Lubuntu after days of installation issues while trying to install on my HP's hdd from 2002 | 00:44 |
| Analogymous | Download and try with the alternate ISO | 00:44 |
| Analogymous | That's what I did, it's recommendable if your Dell laptop has less than 700mb RAM which my desktop HP has :) | 00:45 |
| Analogymous | Not saying it will solve it, but the graphical installer on lubuntu 12.10 release was the reason for my problem! | 00:46 |
| Analogymous | Good luck!! | 00:46 |
| Mopeyennui | Hello. I am using 12.04. Where is the color scheme selection options? | 04:54 |

| bennypr0fane | Hello, I want my Lubuntu computer to forward its internet connection to another pc. It has 2 ethernet cards, one where the connection comes in, and another where the connection is supposed to go to the other pc. How can I configure that? | 16:36 |
| bennypr0fane | here's my ifconfig: http://pastebin.com/YH4LSnHd | 16:38 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing is what i would look at | 16:39 |
| bennypr0fane | holstein, there are a few methods listed, I'm not sure which one applies for me. I'm on 12.04 - but everything wired. The method listed for 12.04 describes a wireless setup though | 16:55 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: should be the same.. i might search around for how to set up a router with ubuntu | 16:56 |
| bennypr0fane | I tried this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#GUI_Method_via_Network_Manager_.28Ubuntu_9.10_and_up.29 | 16:56 |
| bennypr0fane | didn't work - after reboot, my internet connection was down | 16:56 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i might even look for a live CD that is a router, and see how that is setup | 16:57 |
| bennypr0fane | meaning the one from the Lubuntu pc to the router | 16:57 |
| bennypr0fane | why a router? I don't understand | 16:57 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: you are making a router.. basically | 17:00 |
| bennypr0fane | ok | 17:00 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: you buy a router.. its likely runing linux, and doing what you are trying to do | 17:00 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: out of the box, *buntu is setup to be a deskop OS (not counting ubuntu server) | 17:01 |
| bennypr0fane | I see. Looking at this now: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#Ubuntu_Internet_Gateway_Method_.28iptables.29 | 17:01 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i have, in main ubuntu10.04 setup what you are trying to do.. and in mint.. but not in anything running LXDE | 17:01 |
| bennypr0fane | how can I tell which of my adapters in ifconf output i sthe one with internet | 17:01 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i think, with a certain GUI, it should be quite easy | 17:02 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i would make backups, and try both... test and re-test | 17:02 |
| bennypr0fane | indeed it should be easy | 17:02 |
| bennypr0fane | you mean backups of my network settings? | 17:02 |
| bennypr0fane | holstein how did you configure your Linux Mint and Ubuntu setups? | 17:04 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i literally clicked in the gui.. in the network managers of said distros.. nothing that is going to be directly helpful for you | 17:05 |
| bennypr0fane | but isn't network manager the same for Ubuntu? | 17:05 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: though, it might help to fire up something that will "just work" out of the box.. and see how its done there... or have it create a config for you you can copy and use | 17:05 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: you would think.. but im not sure, and havent tried this in recent version of ubuntu | 17:06 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i dont have a handy machine with 2 NIC's or id try it | 17:06 |
| bennypr0fane | well I tried the clicks that were described for my GUI, but didn't work :-( | 17:07 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: in what way? | 17:08 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: are you sure the NICs are going to work? | 17:08 |
| holstein | i might try and test them one at a time... make sure they are supported and working | 17:09 |
| bennypr0fane | I have done this on the same PC a long time ago under Windows | 17:10 |
| bennypr0fane | so the hardware should be fine | 17:10 |
| bennypr0fane | just never tested it under Linux | 17:10 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i never trust should | 17:10 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: im not only talking about the hardware.. im talking about the driver support in windows | 17:11 |
| bennypr0fane | If I get an I-net connection plugging the cable into the 2nd NIC, it should work, right? | 17:11 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i might like to see both nic's working in linux seperately.. then i would know | 17:11 |
| bennypr0fane | you have a funny way of talking | 17:11 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: i would think so... but im not sure | 17:11 |
| bennypr0fane | holstein, I did it. The network manager GUI instructions did work after all. I just should have performed them on the other adapter. Maybe also switching the cables was necessary, but I think not | 17:35 |
| bennypr0fane | thanks! | 17:35 |
| holstein | bennypr0fane: cheers! | 17:36 |
| WAlbenzi | I have not found an answer to this: If I place a desktop file in the folder ~($user)/Desktop, how can I get it show up without logging out (restart service, etc). It seems to happen in Lubuntu11.10 but not Lubuntu12.04 | 17:57 |
| WAlbenzi | Interesting: I was wrong, it works in different deployment of the same OS. | 18:07 |
