| Unit193 | devilboy: You may very well need to install wireless drivers for your card. | 00:36 |
| Unit193 | !wireless | 00:36 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:36 |
| devilboy | Unit193: thanks, i will need more info when am on that laptop. | 00:36 |
| Nate_Rev | hey, anyone wanna give me some quick help? | 01:04 |
| Nate_Rev | Anybodyyy | 01:05 |
| dorohoro | say | 01:05 |
| Nate_Rev | Hi, I installed Lubuntu through Wubi on a netbook. The installation went through | 01:06 |
| Nate_Rev | but, when i boot it up it comes up to a black screen with a login prompt. | 01:06 |
| Nate_Rev | I login but that does nothing but leave a command prompt for me | 01:06 |
| dorohoro | try xstart | 01:07 |
| dorohoro | comand: xstart | 01:07 |
| dorohoro | it should star xwindows | 01:07 |
| Nate_Rev | no command found | 01:07 |
| Unit193 | startlubuntu is the command to normally use. | 01:07 |
| Nate_Rev | Ok, I tried the start lubuntu command and it gave me a warning. | 01:08 |
| Nate_Rev | Says: Gtk WARNING cannot open display. | 01:08 |
| Nate_Rev | and back to command prompt | 01:08 |
| dorohoro | do you have grahic drivers instaled | 01:09 |
| Unit193 | Alright, so was the LiveCD fine? I'd highly recommend you not use wubi. | 01:09 |
| Nate_Rev | I would gladly switch it over entirely to Linux, its a little notebook that cant run windows correctly. But when I have tried the live CD i get the same erroe | 01:10 |
| Nate_Rev | error* | 01:10 |
| Nate_Rev | For the record, that live cd I have to use a usb for. | 01:10 |
| Nate_Rev | Since the Netbook has no disc drive. | 01:11 |
| dorohoro | see on google for troubleshot with your graphic card | 01:11 |
| dorohoro | or try some other distro | 01:12 |
| Unit193 | dorohoro: Or you could try to help. | 01:12 |
| Unit193 | Nate_Rev: What graphics card? | 01:12 |
| Nate_Rev | It would be an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3600 | 01:14 |
| Nate_Rev | On an Intel Atom N2600 processor. | 01:14 |
| Nate_Rev | any ide? | 01:18 |
| Nate_Rev | idea*? | 01:18 |
| dorohoro | reading on net right now | 01:18 |
| dorohoro | seams oter people hade same proble | 01:18 |
| holstein | whats the questin? | 01:18 |
| Unit193 | MMmm... That seems slightly like a problem generating card, try taking a look https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto maybe, but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953734 is a little dated. | 01:18 |
| Unit193 | holstein: Black boot, GMA3600 N2600 | 01:19 |
| holstein | anything with nomodeset? | 01:19 |
| Nate_Rev | me? | 01:22 |
| holstein | Nate_Rev: did you try it? | 01:23 |
| Nate_Rev | nomodeset? | 01:23 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | 01:23 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:23 |
| Nate_Rev | yeah, says command not found | 01:24 |
| holstein | Nate_Rev: ^^ i do it from the live CD.. | 01:24 |
| holstein | Nate_Rev: its not a command | 01:24 |
| Nate_Rev | alright, I'll start working on that. | 01:25 |
| malaphus | Anyone know if it's possible to point lxdm to a second location for application shortcuts (.desktop files)? Currently I've been putting icons in /usr/share/applications/ but would like to move my custom shortcuts to an nfs mount so that additions/changes affect all users (each machine has the nfs mount) | 04:01 |
| malaphus | I tried creating a symlink in /usr/share/applications/ but lxdm doesn't seem to act recursively, so the shortcuts within /usr/share/applications/shared/ don't get added | 04:02 |
| xnox | malaphus: ~/.config/applications ? | 09:04 |

| raphaelle | hello, can someone help me to find out why my 2 machines do connect wireless using Ubuntu 12.04 while they can't on Lubuntu 12.04 ? | 11:28 |
| raphaelle | the odd thing : if I right-click on the wifi applet in the botom bar, the bar disapears ! | 11:35 |
| devilboy | hi all, lately lubuntu after receiving an update about 570kb it freezes on shutting down or rebooting. What can I do to solve/fix this ? | 13:53 |

| Eino | my Disks crashes when I try to format my ntfs disk and create an ext4+LUKS encrypted partition on it, how do I go about doing this without the gui (the password weakness thing seems to be the problem, since it crashes every time I start typing the passphrase, the program crashes) | 15:17 |
| cortman | Eino, are you doing this during installation or after? | 15:31 |
| Eino | cortman: after | 15:48 |
| Eino | it's another hdd :p | 15:48 |
| cortman | Then have a look here Eino http://gentoovps.net/encrypt-a-partition-from-the-command-line-in-gentoo-linux/ | 16:03 |
| cortman | And for a very informative and rather confusing page about encryption, see here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_Encryption_with_LUKS#Partitioning | 16:04 |
| cortman | Although I think the first one has the info you want | 16:04 |
| Eino | roger, I just had the second one open | 16:08 |
| Eino | cortman: how do I benchmark which encryption method is the best? or can you recommend something? I have intel phenom II x2 550 | 16:11 |
| cortman | I know little about encryption- I'm just doing the research- I always encrypted with LUKS at installation, so I can't recommend anything based on experience, but TrueCrypt seems to be pretty widely used | 16:15 |
| cerebrate | if someone here gives me a tip, and this someone works for maintaining or undermining security, does that count as a typ of the hat? | 17:29 |

| redderhs | For the past 4 or so days, it seems that whenever Firefox is opened and browsing webpages, it freezes my computer. What I mean by freezing my computer no task is able to be performed except move the mouse cursor around. The duration to reproduce this issue varies and happens with quite a few different webpages. Seems like it happens when there's tabs opened. Was wondering if there's any logs I could check that may give me a pretty good idea of w | 22:45 |
| holstein | redderhs: i would just launch ff from the terminal and look there | 22:45 |
| holstein | i would try removing my user config from the equation.. i would try disabling plugins. flash/java | 22:46 |
| redderhs | yes, I got that idea from ubuntuforums and so far it only seems like I am getting two messages come through. "Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". that message comes everytime a flash video from youtube is loading. | 22:47 |
| redderhs | also: this sometimes randomly appears "NOTE: child process received `Goodbye', closing down" while the browser is still running. | 22:47 |
| holstein | what do i do? i use google-chrome, since that is the only current version of flash for linux | 22:47 |
| holstein | have you applied upgrade? "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in a terminal | 22:48 |
| Unit193 | Do you have much ram? Could this be swapping out? | 22:48 |
| redderhs | that's also one other thing I have tried, I reinstalled chromium and that seems to be not having this issue. I have 6GB of ram. | 22:48 |
| redderhs | I regularly perform updates as well. | 22:49 |
| holstein | redderhs: so, its just firefox? how about when you move your ff config out of the way? and test stock config? | 22:49 |
| redderhs | i'll have to look into on how to set everything back to default. | 22:49 |
| holstein | redderhs: not realy | 22:50 |
| holstein | redderhs: you just move it out of the way.. test.. and put it right back if all is well | 22:50 |
| holstein | redderhs: move it, rename it.. or test as a new user | 22:50 |
| redderhs | I mean, is this just a file(s) located somewhere? | 22:50 |
| holstein | redderhs: i directory | 22:51 |
| holstein | ~.mozilla ..is where i find it | 22:51 |
| holstein | ~/.mozilla | 22:51 |
| redderhs | thanks for the tip holstein, I'll let you know if that resolves the issue or if I do find something that fixes. | 22:53 |
| holstein | redderhs: i would just test that real quick, because that will tell you a lot | 22:53 |
| holstein | redderhs: if chormium is working then i dont think it is a flash or java issue | 22:53 |
| holstein | i would literally just go right now, move that file, and test | 22:53 |
| holstein | it'll take less than a minute, and tell you so much | 22:54 |
| redderhs | i moved that hidden dir to my desktop and it seems it has upon execution of firefox, it's starting to run in a more stock config | 22:54 |
| holstein | redderhs: sure.. and with issues? | 22:54 |
| redderhs | most addons are gone, but google talk plugins are still avail. I won't know if the issue is still there until a certain amount of time passes with use. | 22:55 |
| redderhs | it's very sporadic. and sometimes it doesn't freeze all the way as described above. sometimes it will semi lockup to where a minute and a half later it will unfreeze itself. | 22:55 |
| === OutOfControl is now known as benonsoftware | ||
| holstein | redderhs: sounds challenging... | 23:00 |
| redderhs | it'll be interesting to see what the resolution is, I like this kinda stuff haha. | 23:01 |
| redderhs | well, it appears the issue just happened again. I currently do not have any youtube pages opened, only 3 tabs opened at the moment. I went to scroll down in reading a forum the system froze for about 5-10 seconds, firefox disappeared as well as the terminal window and the taskbar. the screen was entirely black and a green color similar to that of my openbox theme kind of flashed diagnoally, then, everything reappeared. I currently have FireFox e | 23:50 |
| redderhs | just restarted firefox again via terminal to make sure these nvidia errors are coming from webpages and not youtube or flash related things. | 23:51 |
| holstein | redderhs: have you reinstalled ff? | 23:52 |
| redderhs | I tried to yesterday, to see if that would resolve the issue, but it didn't uninstall any of my configuration or addons. | 23:53 |
| redderhs | uninstalled and reinstalled via synaptic | 23:53 |
| holstein | i mean, if its only firefox, then it seems like its a firefox issue.. what version of ff? | 23:54 |
| redderhs | 19.0.2 | 23:54 |
| redderhs | Yeah it really does seem like this issue only happens when Firefox is running. | 23:54 |
