[00:33] <devilboy> lubuntu wireless wont show on a laptop after install, if i run all the updates will work after ?
[00:36] <Unit193> devilboy: You may very well need to install wireless drivers for your card.
[00:36] <Unit193> !wireless
[00:36] <devilboy> Unit193: thanks, i will need more info when am on that laptop.
[01:04] <Nate_Rev> hey, anyone wanna give me some quick help?
[01:05] <Nate_Rev> Anybodyyy
[01:05] <dorohoro> say
[01:06] <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
[01:07] <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.
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <dorohoro> do you have grahic drivers instaled
[01:09] <Unit193> Alright, so was the LiveCD fine?  I'd highly recommend you not use wubi.
[01:10] <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.
[01:11] <Nate_Rev> Since the Netbook has no disc drive.
[01:11] <dorohoro> see on google for troubleshot with your graphic card
[01:12] <dorohoro> or try some other distro
[01:12] <Unit193> dorohoro: Or you could try to help.
[01:12] <Unit193> Nate_Rev: What graphics card?
[01:14] <Nate_Rev> It would be an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3600
[01:14] <Nate_Rev> On an Intel Atom N2600 processor.
[01:18] <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.
[01:19] <Unit193> holstein: Black boot, GMA3600 N2600
[01:19] <holstein> anything with nomodeset?
[01:22] <Nate_Rev> me?
[01:23] <holstein> Nate_Rev: did you try it?
[01:23] <Nate_Rev> nomodeset?
[01:23] <holstein> !nomodeset
[01:24] <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
[01:25] <Nate_Rev> alright, I'll start working on that.
[04:01] <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)
[04:02] <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
[09:04] <xnox> malaphus: ~/.config/applications ?
[11:28] <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  ?
[11:35] <raphaelle> the odd thing : if I right-click on the wifi applet in the botom bar, the bar disapears !
[13:53] <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 ?
[15:17] <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)
[15:31] <cortman> Eino, are you doing this during installation or after?
[15:48] <Eino> cortman: after
[15:48] <Eino> it's another hdd :p
[16:03] <cortman> Then have a look here Eino http://gentoovps.net/encrypt-a-partition-from-the-command-line-in-gentoo-linux/
[16:04] <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
[16:08] <Eino> roger, I just had the second one open
[16:11] <Eino> cortman: how do I benchmark which encryption method is the best? or can you recommend something? I have intel phenom II x2 550
[16:15] <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
[17:29] <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?
[17:54] <stlsaint> cerebrate: i would offer a answer if i had any idea what you are talking about
[18:35] <cerebrate> if a white hat gives you a protip does it mean you got a tip of the hat?
[18:43]  * cortman is clueless as well
[21:08] <cerebrate> how best and swiftest do i change keyboard layouts?
[21:18] <cerebrate> cortman & stlsaint i refer to colbert's skit 'tip of the hat, wag of the finger'
[21:28] <phillw> cerebrate: you can add them to shortcuts
[21:29] <cerebrate> y ty
[21:29] <cerebrate> ^^
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <holstein> i would try removing my user config from the equation.. i would try disabling plugins. flash/java
[22:47] <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
[22:48] <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.
[22:49] <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.
[22:50] <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?
[22:51] <holstein> redderhs: i directory
[22:51] <holstein>  ~.mozilla  ..is where i find it
[22:51] <holstein> ~/.mozilla
[22:53] <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
[22:54] <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?
[22:55] <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.
[23:00] <holstein> redderhs: sounds challenging...
[23:01] <redderhs> it'll be interesting to see what the resolution is, I like this kinda stuff haha.
[23:50] <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
[23:51] <redderhs> just restarted firefox again via terminal to make sure these nvidia errors are coming from webpages and not youtube or flash related things.
[23:52] <holstein> redderhs: have you reinstalled ff?
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <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.
