[00:24] hello [00:24] anyone using dell d610? [00:24] i'm having issues installing lubuntu [00:29] !details [00:29] 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] for me? [00:29] are you willing to help? [00:30] i'm saying nobody will help you if you don't explain what "issues" you're having. [00:30] well, not booting, frozen loading screen, i have to run with acpi off [00:35] i am trying to install it and i get ubi-partman exit error 10 [00:36] i managed to get lubuntu working from usb with acpi off, but i can't install it on hdd [00:40] vb what's acpi? [00:44] @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] Download and try with the alternate ISO [00:45] That's what I did, it's recommendable if your Dell laptop has less than 700mb RAM which my desktop HP has :) [00:46] Not saying it will solve it, but the graphical installer on lubuntu 12.10 release was the reason for my problem! [00:46] Good luck!! [04:54] Hello. I am using 12.04. Where is the color scheme selection options? === lesshaste is now known as Guest56540 [16:36] 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] here's my ifconfig: http://pastebin.com/YH4LSnHd [16:39] bennypr0fane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing is what i would look at [16:55] 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] bennypr0fane: should be the same.. i might search around for how to set up a router with ubuntu [16:56] I tried this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#GUI_Method_via_Network_Manager_.28Ubuntu_9.10_and_up.29 [16:56] didn't work - after reboot, my internet connection was down [16:57] bennypr0fane: i might even look for a live CD that is a router, and see how that is setup [16:57] meaning the one from the Lubuntu pc to the router [16:57] why a router? I don't understand [17:00] bennypr0fane: you are making a router.. basically [17:00] ok [17:00] bennypr0fane: you buy a router.. its likely runing linux, and doing what you are trying to do [17:01] bennypr0fane: out of the box, *buntu is setup to be a deskop OS (not counting ubuntu server) [17:01] I see. Looking at this now: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#Ubuntu_Internet_Gateway_Method_.28iptables.29 [17:01] 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] how can I tell which of my adapters in ifconf output i sthe one with internet [17:02] bennypr0fane: i think, with a certain GUI, it should be quite easy [17:02] bennypr0fane: i would make backups, and try both... test and re-test [17:02] indeed it should be easy [17:02] you mean backups of my network settings? [17:04] holstein how did you configure your Linux Mint and Ubuntu setups? [17:05] 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] but isn't network manager the same for Ubuntu? [17:05] 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] bennypr0fane: you would think.. but im not sure, and havent tried this in recent version of ubuntu [17:06] bennypr0fane: i dont have a handy machine with 2 NIC's or id try it [17:07] well I tried the clicks that were described for my GUI, but didn't work :-( [17:08] bennypr0fane: in what way? [17:08] bennypr0fane: are you sure the NICs are going to work? [17:09] i might try and test them one at a time... make sure they are supported and working [17:10] I have done this on the same PC a long time ago under Windows [17:10] so the hardware should be fine [17:10] just never tested it under Linux [17:10] bennypr0fane: i never trust should [17:11] bennypr0fane: im not only talking about the hardware.. im talking about the driver support in windows [17:11] If I get an I-net connection plugging the cable into the 2nd NIC, it should work, right? [17:11] bennypr0fane: i might like to see both nic's working in linux seperately.. then i would know [17:11] you have a funny way of talking [17:11] bennypr0fane: i would think so... but im not sure [17:35] 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] thanks! [17:36] bennypr0fane: cheers! [17:57] 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] Interesting: I was wrong, it works in different deployment of the same OS. === len is now known as Guest19086 [23:44] Help requested. I need to kill a virtual monitor. [23:45] I only use one desktop. [23:45] ...anybody? [23:47] qqyut [23:47] quit [23:47] quit
