| sue1 | lubuntu os successfully loaded; how do i make a check of the drivers to ensure saliency in install? | 14:15 |
| inductiveload | sue1: do you mean check which drivers you have loaded? | 14:19 |
| inductiveload | lsmod will tell you which driver modules are loaded into memory | 14:20 |
| sue1 | i have a lenovo computer that may not fully function with lubuntu | 14:20 |
| sue1 | so i need a sound to test it with | 14:21 |
| sue1 | at leeast | 14:21 |
| inductiveload | well, you could try to play a file with mplayer? | 14:22 |
| sue1 | sound plays successfully, any leads as to where else i should test before installing? | 14:24 |
| inductiveload | depends on what you use it for | 14:27 |
| sue1 | laptop workstation | 14:27 |
| inductiveload | i mean, what _you_ use it for | 14:27 |

| holstein | i would read the link above for information about how to add items manually to the menu | 15:50 |
| cerebrate | cant ask in ##linux how to disable touchpad , any leads- | 18:53 |
| cerebrate | disabling the driver would stop the annoying malfunctions | 18:54 |

| Ville_ | hi! i've been trying to install lubuntu on my new netbook. The problem is that instead of launching to gui it sends me to a commandline enviroment. there it asks login and recognises the user i made while installing. any ideas on whats wrong? | 20:03 |
| cerebrate | i want to extra beautify my lubuntu | 20:04 |
| cerebrate | knoppix style | 20:04 |
| holstein | cerebrate: try like this "i would like to make x look like y" or " make the panel this color" etc... as specific as you think would help the volunteers here help you | 20:05 |
| holstein | Ville_: try nomodeset http://useranswer.com/answer/can-i-install-ubuntulubuntu-on-a-pc-with-a-video-card-that-is-not-supported-if-i-add-nomodeset-in-using-the-live-cdusb/ | 20:05 |
| zleap | what is the best way to upgrade nvidia drivers ? | 20:12 |
| holstein | zleap: i just use the upgrade manger.. or sudo apt-get upgrad and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:13 |
| zleap | ok thanks | 20:13 |
| genii-around | zleap: If you have successfully installed the proprietary drivers from Jockey, it will just upgrade them as needed through DKMS | 20:13 |
| zleap | partrly as steam wants newer drivers | 20:13 |
| cerebrate | i would like dark subdued colors on my 'theme' | 20:13 |
| holstein | zleap: when updates are available, they will be there.. if you want something "newer", you can try the xorg ppa that steam suggests | 20:13 |
| cerebrate | in lxde | 20:13 |
| holstein | cerebrate: i would pick a darker theme | 20:14 |
| cerebrate | i dont see any theme selector | 20:14 |
| zleap | ok | 20:14 |
| zleap | i would rather let the system do it and not risk screwing things up | 20:15 |
| holstein | cerebrate: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=31312 | 20:15 |
| Ville_ | holstein: followed the insructions, problem didn't goa way | 20:15 |
| holstein | zleap: i have chosen to wait til i find i *need* to upgrade the drivers | 20:15 |
| holstein | Ville_: can you get to the live CD desktop with nomodeset? | 20:15 |
| zleap | yeah best way | 20:15 |
| zleap | i don't NEED steam at the moment | 20:15 |
| zleap | i guess the newer drivers will eventuallyfind their way in to the update stuff | 20:16 |
| zleap | after they have been screened and know to work problem free | 20:16 |
| holstein | zleap: depends... | 20:16 |
| zleap | ok | 20:16 |
| zleap | i guess i can just keep trying steam as it may have the new drivers already | 20:16 |
| holstein | the versions (like 12.04) usually are "locked" or "frozen" and recieve security updates. but drivers like that might go differently | 20:17 |
| zleap | well my system is working fine atm | 20:18 |
| zleap | i do actually need to upgrade at some ppoiint and replace linpus with newer lubuntu | 20:18 |
| zleap | it wants 304.22 | 20:18 |
| zleap | ok 304 is in additional drivers but is beta I will wait | 20:20 |
| Ville_ | Holstein: it gives error on update-grub command, cant get /cow-path | 20:22 |
| holstein | Ville_: boot the live CD, and try nomodeset | 20:22 |
| holstein | Ville_: boot the live CD, and after the bios.. tap shift til you see options at the bottom.. F6 is where "nomodeset" is located | 20:22 |
| Ville_ | holstein: it doesn't open anything to F6, only F-button thatt opens anything is F1 for help, in help I can acces pages with the othe F-buttons so physical malfunction seems unlikely | 20:30 |
| holstein | Ville_: this is from boot time | 20:30 |
| holstein | Ville_: when you have the machine *off* and the cd in the drive.. you hit the power button | 20:30 |
| holstein | after the bios screens, you start tapping or holding shift.. then you'll see a menu.. at the bottom are options.. one of those options is F6.. in that F6 menu, you'll see "nomodeset".. select that and continue to "try live". *not* install | 20:31 |
| holstein | see if you get to the live CD using nomodeset... or any other other other options there | 20:32 |
| Ville_ | found it | 20:32 |
| zleap | lok | 20:33 |
| zleap | linux file size 37mb windows file size 210mb | 20:33 |
| zleap | the 37 seems odd whenb you look at the versiob number being 304.37 but even so one heck of a difference | 20:34 |
| Ville_ | holstein: still launches to commandline | 20:38 |
| holstein | Ville_: try "startx" and see what error | 20:39 |
| Ville_ | is it another booting option, or is do i type it to the commandline? | 20:40 |
| holstein | Ville_: you can type that, right there, where im asuming you are only seeing a place to type things | 20:41 |
| holstein | Ville_: type this... exactly.. "startx" without the quotation marks, and press the "enter" key | 20:41 |
| Ville_ | fatal server error: no screens found | 20:42 |
| holstein | Ville_: what would i do? boot a knoppix live cd.. get the desktop loaded and looking the way i want.. copy the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file from there, and put it in lubuntu which i would istall using the alternate iso | 20:43 |
| holstein | Ville_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/58488/x-does-not-want-to-start-at-all-no-screens-have-a-usable-configuration lists an xorg.conf file that i think would work | 20:45 |
| Ville_ | holstein: looking at the log file, I know that I'm way out of my league to find the specific problem. Your advice is to try a different distro? | 21:00 |
| holstein | Ville_: my advice is to try the vesa driver | 21:01 |
| Ville_ | how do i try it? | 21:01 |
| holstein | Ville_: using the live knoppix CD is an easy way to get a nice xorg.conf file, similar to the one above i linked, but one that you know will work with your hardware | 21:01 |
| holstein | Ville_: you can use the xorg.conf i linked above | 21:01 |
| Ville_ | how do I edit xorg.conf? | 21:04 |
| tagava | can i use password parameter in encfs? | 21:05 |
| holstein | Ville_: you just put one in place.. like the one i linked above | 21:05 |
| holstein | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5556278/ Ville_ , and you'll do that from the installed os that is not working | 21:06 |
| holstein | bbl... | 21:06 |

| zleap | does lubuntu offer the same install options as ubuntu as in install side by side and auto pull over files from a windows install ? | 21:22 |
| Ville_ | holstein: It went from bad to xworse, it no longer gives me even the commandline, the screen just goes black. I'm calling it for to day and trying it next | 21:25 |
| Ville_ | time with just the basic ubuntu | 21:26 |
| bastarden | hello...anyone knows what is the default root password for lubuntu 12.10 live cd? | 21:27 |
| zleap | i didn't think there was a password on the cd | 21:28 |
| zleap | it just boots straight in to it | 21:28 |
| bastarden | i booted but when i try to su it requires a password | 21:28 |
| bastarden | root/lubuntu is not working | 21:28 |
| zleap | try no password just press enter | 21:29 |
| bastarden | that doesn`t work either :( | 21:29 |
| zleap | hmm dunno then | 21:29 |
| bastarden | :\ | 21:30 |
| wxl | bastarden: afaik there is no root pw | 21:34 |
| bastarden | yeah i figured it out now...tried sudo ...etc and worked...thks | 21:35 |
| wxl | sudo passwd root works too | 21:35 |
| bastarden | all good now...thanks again | 21:35 |
| cerebrate | need to raise sound volume | 21:38 |
| wxl | cerebrate: alsamixer | 21:39 |
| Vivekananda | hey everyone. First time install of lubuntu and testing it out. Have a lot of questions . Any takers. | 21:54 |
| cerebrate | o/ | 21:56 |
| holstein | http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Menu | 21:56 |
| holstein | ^^ how to edit menu | 21:56 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: was that meant for me? | 21:57 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: yes.. that is how you edit the menu | 21:57 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: nope I dont want to edit the menu. I want the upper panel bar to allow me to "move" the placement of icons on it as I did in gnome . | 21:59 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: you edit that in the panel config | 21:59 |
| Vivekananda | Second I need to employ keyboard shortcuts for some of the most common things. It was easy there but here I apparently have to write xml to do it ? | 22:00 |
| holstein | http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/464429-lxde-keyboard-shortcuts.html or exmple | 22:01 |
| Vivekananda | On gnome I could right click on panel bar on any icon and it showed an option of "move" along with other options. I am not getting that option here | 22:01 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: this is not gnome.. its different in lxde | 22:01 |
| holstein | in lxde, you right click and change the order | 22:01 |
| holstein | there is no "move" like that.. its lighter, which is a compromise | 22:02 |
| Vivekananda | so no placement according to my wish . Ok. I was just making sure what I would and what I would not find here. | 22:02 |
| Vivekananda | sure sure. Just makign sure | 22:02 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: i cant imagine where you would want it that you cant get it | 22:03 |
| holstein | you can add empyt space, expand.. remove.. customize | 22:03 |
| holstein | its all open.. and there are other panels, like the XFCE one that is more like gnome2 was | 22:03 |
| holstein | rather than just tweaking lxde to be more like XFCE, you might want to just try it | 22:04 |
| holstein | there is "move" options in the panel... menu editors... and keyboard shortcut GUI | 22:04 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: so what happenned is that Installed cairo doc and then removed the section of the panel that displays open windows ( like in windows) . When I did that all icons from the right ( viz the clock , shut down) just alingned themselves to the left. Now everytihng is clubbed together on the left ( my panel is at the top and horizontal) | 22:05 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: you can just remove the panel config in your /home to return to default | 22:07 |
| Vivekananda | oo ok so spacer helped me out | 22:07 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: i would make a new user and test, or try the guest account | 22:07 |
| Vivekananda | now everything is spaced out on the whole of the panel . That is better. | 22:07 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: One biggie. Suppose I install say eclipse in lubuntu with different plugins as I did in gnome. will there be lesser features in its gui ? I might have misunderstood but read somewhere that the packaging of some programs is not very conducive to lubuntu ( eg awn ) ... | 22:10 |
| holstein | no.. even awn will just be awn... awn needs 3d drivers in lxde or xfce or unity.. or gnome.. or whatever | 22:10 |
| Vivekananda | Also what do I do about the graphics troubleshooting ( I am going to try looking this up online ) | 22:11 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: its the same | 22:11 |
| holstein | !ati | 22:11 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 22:11 |
| holstein | ^^ thats for *all* ubuntu's... | 22:11 |
| holstein | common sense might need be applied when certain applications native to the desktop environments are referenced | 22:11 |
| Vivekananda | I did not do any setups for gnome lucid though. not sure why the video is in slow motion now. | 22:12 |
| Vivekananda | I mean for the video card | 22:12 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: lucid is older.. that is the difference.. not gnome to LXDE.. | 22:12 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: you are on a different kernel.. different graphics driver.. this is not an LXDE specific issue | 22:12 |
| Vivekananda | I have a lot of questions so keep on asking if it is okay. Pleas feel free to skip unimportant ones :) | 22:13 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: you can install lucid, and get it back just the way it was, and install lxde and test | 22:13 |
| holstein | OR, you can just try to find the proper graphics drive for your current system | 22:13 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: ask away.. thats what we are here for | 22:13 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: I understand and hence trying to trouble shoot. I cannot so so many installs so fast coz it takes 40 mins for one install to complete :( | 22:13 |
| Vivekananda | I am going to address each of the issues one by one | 22:14 |
| Vivekananda | so first onto keybindings | 22:14 |
| Vivekananda | I would like to install gedit though or something better than the lightweight one here | 22:15 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: "better" is a matter of opinion.. just open the package manager of your choice and install gedit | 22:16 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install gedit | 22:16 |
| holstein | to say "better than the lightweight one here" is uncessesary, since you dont know who of the volunteers here might maintain that package.. | 22:16 |
| Vivekananda | I just meant more suited to coding and things like syntax highlight and formatting. can the leaf thingy here do that also ? | 22:18 |
| holstein | i dont know.. install gedit if you want. or geany | 22:18 |
| Vivekananda | I dont see a sound app for headphones/ mic etc. | 22:19 |
| Vivekananda | I mean one that has options for them. | 22:19 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: you can install pulse and install pavucontrol if you want/prefer | 22:19 |
| holstein | otherwise, you can use alsamixer, or the GUI one | 22:19 |
| Vivekananda | I dont know what the difference is between pulse and also but the video I tried running ( an flv) had no sound when trying pulse so switched to alsa | 22:20 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: no.. lubuntu has alsa, not pulse | 22:21 |
| Vivekananda | you suggested pulse above though ?? Did you mean it is not there by default but I could install it ? | 22:22 |
| Vivekananda | One thing I want to do is add a terminal launcher to the panel on top. but it does not have that ( although it allows for creating customized launchers ) | 22:23 |
| holstein | correct.. if you prefer, and are used to pulse, you can install it, and pavucontrol | 22:25 |
| cerebrate | operation already pending on potential playback of video recording dvd :/ | 22:30 |
| cerebrate | for like 30 minutes ;-; | 22:30 |
| tagava | can i use password parameter in encfs? | 22:32 |
| holstein | !dvd | 23:03 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 23:03 |
| holstein | cerebrate: ^^ | 23:03 |
| cerebrate | y thank u :O | 23:08 |
| Vivekananda | hey holstein you there | 23:14 |
| Vivekananda | hey there anyone here. I was trying to include the keybind alt+a to open a terminal | 23:20 |
| Vivekananda | it does not work | 23:20 |
| cerebrate | id like that too | 23:20 |
| cerebrate | maybe if we pool our research efforts we can achieve some sort of success viv. | 23:20 |
| cerebrate | but holstein will just come up with the correct approach i guess | 23:20 |
| Vivekananda | cerebrate: it was my bad | 23:53 |
| Vivekananda | sloppy , very sloppy | 23:53 |
| Vivekananda | it did work | 23:53 |
| Vivekananda | In case you were referring to me above | 23:53 |
| Vivekananda | anyone here | 23:54 |
