| Guest26841 | I need some help | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| redderhs | Guest26841: state your question and someone will try to answer as soon as possible. | 00:03 |
| Guest26841 | Well i try to start lubuntu but it keeps giving me a earr saying i have no screens | 00:05 |
| Guest26841 | How do i fix it? | 00:08 |
| redderhs | Someone will respond when they are available. So just to clarify, you're getting an error message saying you have no screens? | 00:09 |
| Guest26841 | yes | 00:10 |
| redderhs | Have you tried anything to troubleshoot this yet? Which version of Lubuntu are you running? | 00:11 |
| devilboy | why do i have 3 different sessions in lubuntu ? | 00:12 |
| devilboy | netbook and openbox | 00:12 |
| Guest26841 | im running lubunyu 12.10 | 00:13 |
| devilboy | same | 00:13 |
| redderhs | Guest26841: When you installed Lubuntu, did you install it from the Live CD in it's GUI mode? If so, did you get the error message there too? | 00:14 |
| Guest26841 | i installed it via usb from a iso | 00:15 |
| redderhs | and have you had this issue since installation? | 00:16 |
| Guest26841 | yes i can not get the desktop to show | 00:17 |
| redderhs | you might find this article helpful, i think it may relate to your issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1924170 | 00:17 |
| redderhs | devilboy: when you say 3 different sessions, what do you mean and where do you see them? | 00:18 |
| redderhs | at startup near login? | 00:18 |
| devilboy | redderhs: they helped me in ubuntu channel. | 00:19 |
| devilboy | redderhs: thanks | 00:19 |
| redderhs | np | 00:19 |
| devilboy | redderhs: am just thinking to remove them /netbook/openbox/ | 00:19 |
| devilboy | by uninstalling | 00:20 |
| redderhs | well, if you're talking about the drop down selection of choices near username / password login, some come by default | 00:20 |
| devilboy | redderhs: i cant remove openbox from synaptics? | 00:21 |
| redderhs | That type of session allows you to choose what type of desktop environment you'd like to use. There are lots of different choices in the Linux world. | 00:21 |
| devilboy | redderhs: will cause me issues? | 00:21 |
| redderhs | It could if you have not established a replacement | 00:21 |
| redderhs | openbox by default is part of the desktop experience. | 00:21 |
| devilboy | redderhs: ok ;p i wont uninstall openbox and netbook | 00:22 |
| redderhs | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openbox | 00:22 |
| devilboy | ty | 00:23 |
| redderhs | you're welcome. | 00:23 |
| Guest26841 | Oh i forgot to menchn that i installed it with windows. | 00:25 |
| redderhs | Guest26841: Did you install this on a computer with no Disc Drive? | 00:25 |
| Guest26841 | yes | 00:26 |
| redderhs | do you still have the disc image you downloaded? If so I think based upon the link I shared with you, it might be helpful to check the hash value of the iso | 00:27 |
| redderhs | to make sure it matches the checksum on the website, if it does not match it downloaded improperly and may be a reason for the erroneous install. | 00:28 |
| Guest26841 | Hash? | 00:28 |
| redderhs | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum | 00:29 |
| wxl | !md5 Guest26841 | 00:29 |
| wxl | oh stupid bot | 00:29 |
| wxl | !md5 | 00:29 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:29 |
| wxl | ↑ see that Guest26841 | 00:30 |
| redderhs | Thanks wxl, gotta figure out all the bot command / resources here =P | 00:30 |
| wxl | redderhs: np. i'm lagging like heck over here anyways :) | 00:31 |
| Unit193 | !factoids | redderhs | 00:32 |
| ubottu | redderhs: Hi! I'm #lubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 00:32 |
| redderhs | mmm brains. | 00:32 |
| wxl | oh, pipe, duh. | 00:34 |
| Unit193 | Yes wxl, it's never changed. :----D | 00:36 |
| wxl | !botsnack | 00:36 |

| wxl | ok i'll stop playing with the bot now | 00:37 |
| Guest26841 | i found that the hashes are not the same | 00:46 |
| wxl | Guest26841: thus your problem. time to re-download and make sure to check your hash. | 00:47 |
| Guest26841 | Gha well anouther night of downloding sigh ty | 00:48 |
| wxl | you could try zsync Guest26841 | 00:48 |
| wxl | !zsync | Guest26841 | 00:48 |
| ubottu | Guest26841: Use zsync to update your Ubuntu CD image without needing to download the parts that didn't change. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage | 00:48 |
| wxl | that will save you from having to download the whole thing | 00:48 |
| Guest26841 | ty | 00:49 |
| redderhs | or via torrent. | 00:49 |
| wxl | yeah torrents are darn quick | 00:49 |
| wxl | and you probably already have a torrent client | 00:49 |
| Guest26841 | zsync dont work on windows duse it | 00:54 |
| redderhs | well, it looks like it could be done on Windows, but from the link I am looking at it seems more hassle than it's worth. Are you familiar with Torrent files and Torrent Clients? | 00:55 |
| redderhs | that would be a much more graphical and simplified way I'd imagine for Windows. | 00:56 |
| Guest26841 | yes i have utorrent | 00:56 |
| redderhs | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu#Torrent | 00:57 |
| redderhs | point the torrent file to the location of the already downloaded iso. Filenames should be the same. If so, the Torrent client should try to analyze the already existing iso to see where it matches and where it does not. | 00:57 |
| redderhs | and it will only download what it needs to. | 00:58 |
| Guest26841 | utorrent checked it but did not download any thing | 01:14 |
| redderhs | if you right click on the torrent in uTorrent and hit open folder, does Windows Explorer show you the same location as your downloaded iso? | 01:16 |
| Guest26841 | yes | 01:18 |
| redderhs | the status in utorrent, does it say a percentage? or if it is paused or downloading? | 01:19 |
| Guest26841 | it say seeding | 01:20 |
| redderhs | if it's seeding, it may have finished downloading that quickly. there may have not been that much of a difference. | 01:21 |
| redderhs | I would run the iso again through a checksum to see if it matches now | 01:21 |
| Guest26841 | Gerr the sum is diffrent sigh | 01:22 |
| redderhs | what is the name of the iso you have? | 01:23 |
| Guest26841 | oups | 01:24 |
| Guest26841 | i redid the check its the same | 01:25 |
| redderhs | alright | 01:25 |
| Guest26841 | ^.^ | 01:25 |
| redderhs | from here, if you have to use usb, go ahead and install the iso how you did before | 01:26 |
| redderhs | that should fix the issue you were experiencing | 01:26 |
| Guest26841 | well im trying to install it on a netbook | 01:33 |
| Guest26841 | well thank you | 01:37 |
| redderhs | np | 01:37 |
| Guest26841 | bye | 01:37 |
| redderhs | take care. | 01:37 |
| Guest26841 | i might be back | 01:38 |
| redderhs | dont you ever come back! haha, if you still need help feel free to ask. | 01:38 |
| Guest26841 | k | 01:38 |
| Guest26841 | and lol | 01:38 |
| malaphus | wtfz | 01:54 |
| pvl1 | hey all, do i have to keep openbox to run LXDE? my understanding is no | 04:08 |
| redderhs | i think you just need something to replace it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager | 04:11 |
| pvl1 | oh i thought lxde came with a window manager | 04:13 |
| pvl1 | hm | 04:13 |
| redderhs | yeah its coupled with openbox | 04:13 |
| redderhs | i'm pretty sure that's how it works. | 04:14 |
| pvl1 | it is | 04:14 |
| pvl1 | thats fine | 04:14 |
| redderhs | i think my setup, i have compiz running ontop | 04:14 |
| redderhs | to give me more functionality. | 04:14 |
| pvl1 | my netbook wont handle it | 04:14 |
| pvl1 | maybe it will | 04:14 |
| pvl1 | but i dont really need that on there | 04:15 |
| redderhs | what're you looking to do? | 04:15 |
| pvl1 | well the question basically started because i started messing with packages to free up space on my 4gb microsd... and lubuntu | 04:16 |
| pvl1 | was logging into only openbox, without lxde | 04:16 |
| pvl1 | i reinstalled what i removed | 04:16 |
| pvl1 | i couldnt get it to work off an 8 gb microsd | 04:16 |
| pvl1 | ima try to dd it over the weekend | 04:17 |
| pvl1 | but another q, i installed lightdm-remote-session-freerdp , and it wasnt showing up in the sessions at login | 04:17 |
| redderhs | hmm, i'm not too familiar with that package | 04:19 |
| pvl1 | oh well ill keep playing with it | 04:19 |
| pvl1 | since i reinstalled everything ima try to reboot | 04:19 |
| pvl1 | brb | 04:19 |
| redderhs | k | 04:19 |
| pvl11 | well lxde works now | 04:23 |
| pvl11 | installed way too much bloatware tho | 04:23 |
| pvl11 | im going back to lubuntu-desktop | 04:24 |
| pvl11 | actually i think the package is lubuntu-default-settings | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | it is | 04:30 |
| redderhs | i'm glad to hear you got everything working again | 04:30 |
| pvl1 | lol john_barleycorn | 04:36 |
| pvl1 | good ame | 04:36 |
| pvl1 | *name | 04:36 |
| Kamilion | heh, always funny when you google how to do something and the first result you come up with is the last time you did it... http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/10/22/%23lubuntu.html#t04:47 | 07:26 |
| Kamilion | googled for "lubuntu lxde panel cpu meter" | 07:27 |

| sasha| | O hai | 14:28 |
| sasha| | I'm having a bit of an issue with setting custom display resolutions | 14:28 |
| sasha| | can someone help? | 14:28 |
| sasha| | I tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/95977/set-a-specific-screen-resolution-with-xrandr | 14:29 |
| john_barleycorn | Possibly sasha| , what's the problem exactly | 14:29 |
| sasha| | but it doesn't work too well | 14:29 |
| sasha| | john_barleycorn: the LCD on the netbook has a streched image | 14:30 |
| sasha| | and it goes down to the BIOS | 14:30 |
| john_barleycorn | Ok, what's the resolution you're after? | 14:30 |
| sasha| | 1024x600 | 14:31 |
| sasha| | but there is only 1024x768 | 14:31 |
| john_barleycorn | And I assume you didn't find it in Preferences>Monitor Settings? | 14:33 |
| sasha| | Yeah | 14:33 |
| john_barleycorn | Have you tried adding a new resolution mode with xrandr? | 14:34 |
| sasha| | I tried | 14:34 |
| sasha| | but seeing as I'm running off a live usb, it doesn't change until I restart | 14:35 |
| sasha| | and when I restart, I go back to zero | 14:35 |
| john_barleycorn | Did you create the live USB to be persistent? | 14:36 |
| sasha| | um | 14:36 |
| sasha| | it's just DriveDroid on my phone | 14:36 |
| sasha| | and it's read write, but it doesn't write it seems | 14:36 |
| john_barleycorn | Not familiar with DriveDroid | 14:37 |
| sasha| | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softwarebakery.drivedroid&hl=en | 14:37 |
| john_barleycorn | Yeah I was just reading up | 14:38 |
| john_barleycorn | I don't know how (or if there even is a way) to make DriveDroid persistent. I think you may have to create a bootable USB flash drive in order to get what you want. | 14:38 |
| sasha| | Ok | 14:39 |
| sasha| | but if I install Lubuntu on the hdd, will I be able to set the custom resolution? | 14:39 |
| john_barleycorn | Probably | 14:39 |
| john_barleycorn | I don't know why not | 14:39 |
| pavel989 | is there an irc where i can get some help with lightdm? i cant seem to figure out how to gree the freerdp session to work | 16:23 |
