| genoobie | wxl, hey | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | yep, i live | 00:08 |
| wxl | :) | 00:08 |
| genoobie | I wanted to thank you again | 00:09 |
| Unit193 | He likes you better. ;) | 00:10 |
| genoobie | and Unit193 I wanted to thank you too | 00:10 |
| genoobie | I am going to try puppylinux again | 00:10 |
| genoobie | for some reason / flash and chromium !work together | 00:11 |
| genoobie | installed FF and chrome, both *super* laggy | 00:11 |
| genoobie | added repositories and updated, now I get an error in synaptic | 00:12 |
| genoobie | (followed website advice) | 00:12 |
| genoobie | just seems like 1) I need to learn more about linux | 00:12 |
| genoobie | and I'm not really sure how to "switch drivers" etc | 00:12 |
| Unit193 | Normally you'd just download https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb because that package sets up it's own repo (it's not my favorite, does weird things) | 00:12 |
| Unit193 | (In this case, not normally) | 00:13 |
| genoobie | yeah, I don't really get this.... | 00:13 |
| genoobie | maybe you can help me understand | 00:13 |
| genoobie | if there is software, it has dependencies | 00:13 |
| genoobie | the pkgmanager takes care of these | 00:13 |
| genoobie | or the package | 00:13 |
| genoobie | right? | 00:13 |
| Unit193 | If it can, yep. | 00:13 |
| genoobie | so the software is stored on various servers and is at various revisions. | 00:14 |
| genoobie | so let's say package X has versions 1.13, 1.14 and 1.15 | 00:14 |
| genoobie | depending on where I download, I might get a different version | 00:14 |
| genoobie | anyhow, I think I need to get a book and read some | 00:15 |
| Unit193 | You normally wouldn't go to a website to download, you'd normally just open synaptic and install from main repos. | 00:15 |
| Unit193 | Alrighty. | 00:15 |
| genoobie | in the meantime, for my kids who want to play minecraft / etc | 00:15 |
| genoobie | I'm going to install puppy. | 00:15 |
| genoobie | :) | 00:15 |
| genoobie | I mean i like the *ntu | 00:18 |
| genoobie | but I need something "functional" and I'll learn the OS later... | 00:19 |

| Jeffdude | Hello. I am trying to change the clock format of the clock in the lower right of the taskbar to be in 12 hour time. I don't understand the symbols in the selection boxes (e.g. "%r and %A%x), can someone help me? | 06:18 |
| Unit193 | The best thing to do would be to look at the manpage for strftime. | 06:19 |
| Unit193 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/strftime | 06:19 |
| Jeffdude | Thanks for the link! I remember you being very helpful before :) Can I just put those commands into the text entry field and it'll work? | 06:21 |
| Unit193 | Well, those time format symbols. | 06:22 |
| Unit193 | %a, %d %b %H:%M:%S would be an example, but not 12 hour time. | 06:22 |
| Jeffdude | Hmm.. yeah.. | 06:23 |
| Jeffdude | you'd think it'd be a simple check box, though I'm sure the commands give much more flexability | 06:24 |
| Jeffdude | found it: %I | 06:25 |
| Unit193 | They do, but you kind of have to know what you're looking for (or randomly stumble upon it with Google) :P | 06:25 |
| Unit193 | You sure you don't want a more custom setup? | 06:25 |
| Jeffdude | haha :) Thanks for your help, again, Unit | 06:25 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing! | 06:25 |
| Jeffdude | what's that supposed to mean? | 06:25 |
| Jeffdude | nevermind. | 06:26 |

| Guest14837 | how tu uninstall lubuntu | 16:24 |
| Guest14837 | cant find any instructions | 16:26 |
| Guest14837 | I would like to know how to remove lubuntu from my computer | 16:32 |
| sact | do you have dual boot or similar? | 16:39 |
| Guest14837 | dual boot | 16:40 |
| Guest14837 | windows 7 | 16:40 |
| Guest14837 | so far I found best solution to remove all packages with synaptic, but I am not sure | 16:41 |
| sact | but you want the whole operating system gone | 16:41 |
| Guest14837 | just lubuntu | 16:42 |
| tsimpson | you just reinstall the windows boot loader from windows, and then you can just delete/format the lubuntu partition(s) | 16:42 |
| Guest14837 | i did that - i deleted lubuntu partition with gpart, but than it did not want to boot anymore | 16:43 |
| sact | put your win 7 install media in and boot from that | 16:43 |
| sact | i think it should have repair install option or something like that | 16:44 |
| Guest14837 | I did boot from win recovery dics, but did not do the job | 16:44 |
| Guest14837 | I had to reinstall lubuntu again | 16:44 |
| sact | http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/62209-remove-grub-restore-windows-7-a.html | 16:45 |
| Guest14837 | Thank you - I will read it through and give it a try | 16:47 |
| sact | good luck | 16:47 |
| Guest14837 | thank you | 16:48 |
| fomg-optimize | Hi there! anyone running Liquorix kernel? | 18:31 |
| Unit193 | fomg-optimize: Yep, what's up? | 18:31 |
| Unit193 | (Not on Lubuntu, but on another one) | 18:32 |
| fomg-optimize | Unit193 excellent! Can you answer what you get when you run "cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio" and "cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio". trying to figure out if liquorix changed them on my machine | 18:33 |
| fomg-optimize | I have 5 and 10 | 18:33 |
| Unit193 | Same on a -generic kernel. | 18:33 |
| fomg-optimize | Hmmm interesting | 18:34 |
| Unit193 | (Liquorix one is sleeping right now.) | 18:34 |
| fomg-optimize | Seems lubuntu or ubuntu is really hating dirty cache | 18:34 |
| fomg-optimize | I wonder if they chose those settings on experience or gut feeling | 18:34 |
| fomg-optimize | THey are very off compared to standard | 18:35 |
| fomg-optimize | Unit193 thank you for answering | 18:35 |
| fomg-optimize | Now I have to figure out why | 18:35 |
| Unit193 | 5 and 10 for me was on the -generic kernel of Ubuntu, can check debian too. | 18:36 |
| Unit193 | 10/20 | 18:36 |
| fomg-optimize | That is more normal | 18:37 |
| Unit193 | Precise/server has 10/20 as well. | 18:38 |
| fomg-optimize | Thanks again | 18:38 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing. | 18:38 |
