[00:24] <vb> hello
[00:24] <vb> anyone using dell d610?
[00:24] <vb> i'm having issues installing lubuntu
[00:29] <TheLordOfTime> !details
[00:29] <vb> for me?
[00:29] <vb> are you willing to help?
[00:30] <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
[00:35] <vb> i am trying to install it and i get ubi-partman exit error 10
[00:36] <vb> i managed to get lubuntu working from usb with acpi off, but i can't install it on hdd
[00:40] <bennypr0fane> vb what's acpi?
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <Analogymous> That's what I did, it's recommendable if your Dell laptop has less than 700mb RAM which my desktop HP has :)
[00:46] <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!!
[04:54] <Mopeyennui> Hello. I am using 12.04. Where is the color scheme selection options?
[16:36] <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?
[16:38] <bennypr0fane> here's my ifconfig: http://pastebin.com/YH4LSnHd
[16:39] <holstein> bennypr0fane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing is what i would look at
[16:55] <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
[16:56] <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
[16:57] <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
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <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?
[17:04] <bennypr0fane> holstein how did you configure your Linux Mint and Ubuntu setups?
[17:05] <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
[17:06] <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
[17:07] <bennypr0fane> well I tried the clicks that were described for my GUI, but didn't work :-(
[17:08] <holstein> bennypr0fane: in what way?
[17:08] <holstein> bennypr0fane: are you sure the NICs are going to work?
[17:09] <holstein> i might try and test them one at a time... make sure they are supported and working
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <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
[17:35] <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!
[17:36] <holstein> bennypr0fane: cheers!
[17:57] <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
[18:07] <WAlbenzi> Interesting: I was wrong, it works in different deployment of the same OS.
[23:44] <mopeyennui> Help requested. I need to kill a virtual monitor.
[23:45] <mopeyennui> I only use one desktop.
[23:45] <mopeyennui> ...anybody?
[23:47] <mopeyennui> qqyut
