[00:08] <genoobie> wxl, hey
[00:08] <wxl> yep, i live
[00:08] <wxl> :)
[00:09] <genoobie> I wanted to thank you again
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <genoobie> for some reason / flash and chromium !work together
[00:11] <genoobie> installed FF and chrome, both *super* laggy
[00:12] <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)
[00:13] <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.
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <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> :)
[00:18] <genoobie> I mean i like the *ntu
[00:19] <genoobie> but I need something "functional" and I'll learn the OS later...
[00:55] <therpglper> Can someone please help me with this particular error? " 'Lubuntu 12.10 _Quantal Quetzal_ - Release amd64 (20121017.1)'
[00:55] <therpglper> in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter"
[06:18] <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?
[06:19] <Unit193> The best thing to do would be to look at the manpage for strftime.
[06:19] <Unit193> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/strftime
[06:21] <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?
[06:22] <Unit193> Well, those time format symbols.
[06:22] <Unit193> %a, %d %b  %H:%M:%S  would be an example, but not 12 hour time.
[06:23] <Jeffdude> Hmm.. yeah..
[06:24] <Jeffdude> you'd think it'd be a simple check box, though I'm sure the commands give much more flexability
[06:25] <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?
[06:26] <Jeffdude> nevermind.
[11:19] <hutch> Hi is this the lubuntu help channel?
[11:23] <Myrtti> yup
[11:39] <hutch> Does STEAM client play nicely with AMD updated drivers? I have Amnesia -The Dark Descent
[16:24] <mike> how tu uninstall lubuntu
[16:24] <Guest14837> how tu uninstall lubuntu
[16:26] <Guest14837> cant find any instructions
[16:32] <Guest14837> I would like to know how to remove lubuntu from my computer
[16:39] <sact> do you have dual boot or similar?
[16:40] <Guest14837> dual boot
[16:40] <Guest14837> windows 7
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <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)
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <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
[16:45] <sact> http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/62209-remove-grub-restore-windows-7-a.html
[16:47] <Guest14837> Thank you - I will read it through and give it a try
[16:47] <sact> good luck
[16:48] <Guest14837> thank you
[18:31] <fomg-optimize> Hi there! anyone running Liquorix kernel?
[18:31] <Unit193> fomg-optimize: Yep, what's up?
[18:32] <Unit193> (Not on Lubuntu, but on another one)
[18:33] <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.
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <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
[18:36] <Unit193> 5 and 10 for me was on the -generic kernel of Ubuntu, can check debian too.
[18:36] <Unit193> 10/20
[18:37] <fomg-optimize> That is more normal
[18:38] <Unit193> Precise/server has 10/20 as well.
[18:38] <fomg-optimize> Thanks again
[18:38] <Unit193> Sure thing.
[20:23] <Bobbyjoe> Hello?
