| systemd0wn | Question, I'm going to use lubuntu for the first time. I've had problems with certain kernels. Will going back to 3.5-rc2 be detrimental? | 00:42 |

| melodie | systemd0wn do you know what type of problem this has been about ? | 00:54 |
| melodie | systemd0wn I rephrase : can you say more about the problems you met ? | 00:55 |
| melodie | and with which kernels ? | 00:55 |

| i4c | hi does anybody know how to copy "this application closed unexpectedly" full error report ? i tried ctrl+c and rightclick but nothing :( | 10:46 |
| grouver | Hello. What happend. I installed Ubuntu a while ago. It crashed and my computer didnt boot anymore. Now I tried installing Lubuntu. During the installation it asked me to remove ubuntu completly. I confirmed. During the installation my computer crashed with the error: "stopping cpu interrupts balancing daemon [OK]" I googled but cant seem to find a decent straigth forward answer to fix this. | 11:40 |
| i4c | hi grouver, have u tried going for the custom solution and erasing everything with gparted | 11:44 |
| i4c | then installing fresh | 11:44 |
| grouver | How can I do t his without a OS? | 11:44 |
| i4c | i am not 100% sure, but i think so, can anyone confirm ? | 11:45 |
| i4c | i am gonna ask on ubuntu channel | 11:45 |
| i4c | they say u can install o a clean disc grouver | 11:47 |
| i4c | if u have imporant setting backup home folder | 11:47 |
| i4c | i always do that | 11:47 |
| grouver | i4c, how do you mean? I dont have a OS to run gparted. I am stuck in the installation proces. So how do i suppose to clean the disk? | 11:49 |
| i4c | use the lubuntu cd, run the live version do not select to uninstall, it comes with gparted i think, from there select to delete ur whole disc | 11:50 |
| i4c | then the ubuntu clashing with lubuntu problems will go away | 11:51 |
| i4c | if u have any questions highlight me, i will be here for a couple more hours, so i can help u through the process | 11:52 |
| grouver | i4c, iam at work now. But I think i get it. | 11:52 |
| melodie | hi | 11:53 |
| grouver | instead of let lubuntu handle the whole removing I need to use gparted during the partion choose proces. | 11:53 |
| grouver | and do it manually myself. | 11:54 |
| i4c | yes, gparted is very intuitive to use | 11:54 |
| i4c | and after that goodbye unity and welcome lxde :P | 11:55 |
| melodie | i4c :) | 11:55 |
| melodie | I tried raring unity in my vbox yesterday, it almost killed me ! :D | 11:56 |
| grouver | i4c, thanks :) | 11:56 |

| AndreeeCZ | hello goog people: is there a way to make gloobus-preview work with pcmanfm? | 12:11 |
| i4c | hi AndreeeCZ i am not aware of how, u should ask the gloobus devs at #gloobus or https://bugs.launchpad.net/gloobus-preview | 12:18 |
| AndreeeCZ | i4c, the thing is that gloobus is unmaintained, the channel is empty etc | 12:21 |
| === ZarroBoogs is now known as Pici | ||
| AndreeeCZ | i4c, i have managed to make it work under marlin/nautilus, but they are far from pcmanfm in terms of design and lightweightness and ui | 12:22 |
| i4c | sad to hear about that AndreeeCZ sounded nice, have u tried alternative file previewers like sushi ? | 12:29 |
| AndreeeCZ | i4c, havent heard of it. | 12:30 |
| AndreeeCZ | nautilus-only? | 12:31 |
| i4c | its a shame all the file previewers i find seem to be made with gnome in mind | 12:32 |
| AndreeeCZ | i dont mind gnome. (I personally use "sort of" xfce), but i do mind nautilus. | 12:33 |
| i4c | AndreeeCZ, have u tried nautilus forks ? | 12:34 |
| AndreeeCZ | I have tried marlin | 12:34 |
| i4c | caja ? | 12:34 |
| AndreeeCZ | pcmanfm fits perfectly for me. The only thing im missing is a hide-menu option | 12:35 |
| i4c | i think caja is supervised by the guys forking gnome 2, because they disliked gnome 3 or something like that | 12:35 |
| AndreeeCZ | ill check it out | 12:36 |
| i4c | it is included in linux mint by default with the mate DE | 12:36 |
| i4c | http://www.noobslab.com/2012/11/install-mate-14-desktop-in-ubuntu.html | 12:37 |
| i4c | or u can try it in ubuntu | 12:37 |
| AndreeeCZ | i use arch | 12:38 |
| AndreeeCZ | and it requires mate-common | 12:38 |
| i4c | oh :d ok, i always wanted to try arch, but the installation process always seemed a bit daunting | 12:38 |
| i4c | but the AUR is very appealing | 12:38 |
| rapid76 | buon giorno a tutti | 12:42 |
| rapid76 | c'e' qualcuno che mi puo' dare una mano ? | 12:43 |
| AndreeeCZ | bon giorno, englis please | 12:43 |
| AndreeeCZ | h | 12:43 |
| rapid76 | :D | 12:43 |
| rapid76 | my english is terrible | 12:44 |
| AndreeeCZ | my italian is non-existent | 12:44 |
| rapid76 | ahahhaa | 12:44 |
| rapid76 | :D | 12:44 |
| AndreeeCZ | mah, thats terrible, i4c. pcmanfm is just the best and the quick-view is awesome. | 12:44 |
| AndreeeCZ | I didnt know i need it at all, but then i saw a friend of mine using it on his mac a its just goo. | 12:45 |
| AndreeeCZ | d | 12:45 |
| AndreeeCZ | i4c, besides, i dont like gtk3 | 12:45 |
| i4c | ah okay, do u know any easy install script or something easy to install arch, like achieving lubuntu with arch | 12:47 |
| i4c | sry i cannot help u anymore AndreeeCZ :( | 12:47 |
| rapid76 | tnx | 12:47 |
| AndreeeCZ | i4c, arch installation is not a difficult as it seams. You just follow the wiki step by step and youre done in 40mins with netinstall (inluding a DE) | 12:55 |
| k4jcw | Greetings. Does lubuntu use the apt repositories as ubuntu? I'm currently running a Gentoo server that I'm getting annoyed with, and thinking of switching it over to lubuntu. However, some of the packages in the lubuntu repository are a little behind where I want to be (mediawiki, for example). I know ubuntu unstable has more recent versions, and I'm curious if I can configure apt-get to use the unstables. (I'm a lot familiar with G | 14:59 |
| k4jcw | entoo than lubuntu, so I'm still learning here) | 14:59 |
| genii-around | k4jcw: Yes, all the official *buntu distributions use the same repositories, the main differences are in the different desktop environments they use as default | 15:04 |
| k4jcw | Excellent. I've been digging lubuntu. I liked KDE, but it's gotten so bloated, and so many features I don't use. And I've never like Gnome. | 15:05 |
| k4jcw | If you're one of the maintainers/developers/etc, thanks! | 15:05 |
| genii-around | k4jcw: I'm just a helper, but I'm sure some are around and will appreciate the kudos | 15:06 |
| k4jcw | The helpers are important. Everyone who contributes is important in the software eco-system. I'm more of an embedded guy myself, and try to contribute in that field. | 15:07 |
| k4jcw | Is there a testing/unstable installer or installer option? Or do I need to edit sources.list and change it testing or unstable? I see for ubuntu, the recommendation is to do a fresh install selecting unstable, but I don't recall that being an option when installing lubuntu. | 15:30 |
| i4c | same with me k4jcw i really like lxde+kupfer | 15:52 |
| wxl | _frosty-: the one you build yourself with no gui. | 16:53 |
| wxl | ooops wrong channel :) | 16:53 |
| Grouver | Damn. During installation of lubuntu i still get the error: "stopping cpu interrupts balancing daemon" . AFter advise from i4c (his name was i believe) i deleted all partitions and made a swap area and a ext4 partition. Still getting the error. :( | 17:56 |
| tweakster | isn't there a beginner lubuntu channel here? | 18:26 |
| wxl | tweakster: no, but feel free to ask questions | 18:26 |
| wxl | it's not like #ubuntu where they need a separate channel because there's so much traffic | 18:26 |
| tweakster | i have a question about bash, which i cannot solve by googling.. | 18:27 |
| tweakster | i installed lubuntu core but the XTerm does not seem to have a history at the prompt accessible with the up arrows... | 18:27 |
| tweakster | at least i don't seem to be able to make it work... | 18:28 |
| wxl | that's strange | 18:28 |
| tweakster | i looked at the .bashrc, but I cannot see anything that indicated it should not have this feature. | 18:28 |
| wxl | should be standard bash functionality | 18:28 |
| wxl | does it work in lxterminal? | 18:29 |
| tweakster | let me give it a try there | 18:29 |
| wxl | works for me in xterm, too | 18:29 |
| wxl | echo $BASH_VERSION | 18:29 |
| tweakster | when i use the up arrow, i see this: ^[[A | 18:30 |
| wxl | maybe some kind of keymap issue∆ | 18:32 |
| tweakster | the command "echo $BASH_VERSION" does not return anything at all | 18:32 |
| wxl | huh? | 18:33 |
| tweakster | natha | 18:33 |
| wxl | what about | 18:33 |
| wxl | whereis bash | 18:33 |
| tweakster | as far as I have found, the commands work, but this history is missing, and apparently echo is having problems | 18:34 |
| wxl | echo $SHELL | 18:34 |
| tweakster | /bin/sh | 18:34 |
| wxl | ah ha | 18:34 |
| wxl | you're not using bash | 18:34 |
| wxl | thus your problem | 18:34 |
| wxl | let's be extra sure | 18:35 |
| wxl | ps -p $$ | 18:35 |
| tweakster | so lubuntu core did not install it with XTerm | 18:35 |
| wxl | that is indeed strange | 18:36 |
| tweakster | i saw two lines with that command: first, PID TTY TIME CMD second, 9502 pts/5 00:00:00 sh | 18:37 |
| wxl | yep | 18:37 |
| wxl | you're running sh | 18:37 |
| wxl | so now try this: | 18:37 |
| wxl | whereis bash | 18:37 |
| tweakster | whereis bash showed this: bash: /bin/bash /etc/bash.bashrc /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz | 18:39 |
| wxl | so you do have bash | 18:39 |
| tweakster | okay, i think i got it working now from what you said | 18:41 |
| tweakster | at the prompt after starting XTerm, I have to type bash | 18:42 |
| tweakster | now i have the right looking prompt and i have history | 18:42 |
| tweakster | so bash is apparently not loading automatically for this user | 18:42 |
| wxl | i'm trying to figure out where the default is set | 18:42 |
| tweakster | i created this user after installing the OS | 18:43 |
| wxl | then i bet that's the problem | 18:43 |
| wxl | does the user you first created use bash or sh? | 18:43 |
| tweakster | perhaps i need to assign bash to its default profile? | 18:43 |
| tweakster | that first user is gone completely, i had to remove it. | 18:43 |
| genii-around | Then you have no user with admin rights | 18:44 |
| tweakster | so at least now i know what i need to do. figure out how to assign bash to a user's profile | 18:44 |
| wxl | or maybe he created new; made admin; deleted original genii-around | 18:44 |
| tweakster | i have admin rights with a user named root | 18:44 |
| tweakster | and with sudo | 18:44 |
| genii-around | Hm | 18:45 |
| wxl | and that user's shell is…? | 18:45 |
| tweakster | which user are you referring to now? | 18:45 |
| tweakster | i only have two that i know of. my regular one, which i created, and root. | 18:46 |
| wxl | root | 18:46 |
| tweakster | in any case, if i only have to type bash to get the bash shell, i am fine with that. | 18:46 |
| tweakster | let me see what happens with root shell. wait one | 18:47 |
| tweakster | i do not log on wit root normally | 18:47 |
| wxl | you can add SHELL="/bin/bash" to /etc/environment if you want to set it globally | 18:47 |
| wxl | interestingly none of my global environment files refer to shell | 18:48 |
| tweakster | root has bash shell | 18:49 |
| wxl | strange | 18:50 |
| wxl | that's what i'd expect in any case | 18:50 |
| wxl | tweakster: chsh -s /bin/bash | 18:52 |
| tweakster | i am looking in /etc/environment right now and there is only one line, which is PATH="...<folders>..." | 18:53 |
| wxl | tweakster: that's why i used the word "add" | 18:53 |
| tweakster | put SHELL="/bin/bash" as a second line, you mean, right? | 18:54 |
| wxl | right | 18:54 |
| wxl | or just chsh -s /bin/bash | 18:54 |
| wxl | which will change only your user | 18:54 |
| tweakster | put that command at the bash prompt right now, or back at sh prompt? "chsh -s /bin/bash" | 18:55 |
| wxl | tweakster: doesn't matter. not a shell-specific feature | 18:56 |
| tweakster | maybe it does not matter, i don't know | 18:56 |
| tweakster | :) | 18:56 |
| zleap | what are you trying to do | 18:57 |
| wxl | zleap: he created a new user and got /bin/sh as a default shell. | 18:57 |
| zleap | you can change the default shell in the user settings | 18:57 |
| zleap | shell | 18:58 |
| zleap | system tools - users adn groups, select user and click advanced, | 18:58 |
| wxl | or you could do that | 18:58 |
| wxl | not sure that's part of lubuntu-core though | 18:58 |
| Grouver | During installation of lubuntu i still get the error: "stopping cpu interrupts balancing daemon" . AFter advise from i4c (his name was i believe) i deleted all partitions and made a swap area and a ext4 partition. Still getting the error. :( | 18:58 |
| zleap | well there has to be some sort of gui tool for adding / managing users | 18:59 |
| tweakster | it appears to be a command available to me, yes. | 18:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Here's a quickie: Is the latest (stable) Lubuntu image "dd-compatible"? | 18:59 |
| wxl | zleap: yep, the command line. | 18:59 |
| zleap | ok | 18:59 |
| wxl | SonikkuAmerica: afaik, they all are. | 18:59 |
| zleap | isn't the shell used by a user also in /etc/passwd | 18:59 |
| wxl | zleap: yeah, that's what chsh affects | 19:00 |
| tweakster | thanks for the help, wxl. i should be good now for while anyway. :) | 19:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wxl: Thanks. I've been thinking of downsizing to Lubuntu and since dd'ing to a hard disk is the only way to install the OS... | 19:00 |
| wxl | SonikkuAmerica: it is? :) | 19:00 |
| zleap | ok thanks too, that is useful | 19:00 |
| wxl | Grouver: have you seen this? http://en.kioskea.net/faq/27144-lubuntu-error-message-stopping-cpu-interrupts-balancing-daemons | 19:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wxl: usb-creator-gtk doesn't work (of course), and I don't have a DVD or USB stick, but I do have an IDE hard drive that I can hook up via USB. | 19:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | That's how I installed Ubuntu (with Unity) last time. | 19:01 |
| wxl | SonikkuAmerica: oh now i get it; yeah that works | 19:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wxl: lol, I wasn't too clear with that. | 19:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | thx | 19:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I'll b back | 19:02 |
| * wxl waves | 19:02 | |
| Grouver | wxl, NICE! | 19:02 |
| Grouver | thanks :) | 19:02 |
| tweakster | i think i got logged out, so i'm not sure if my text posted. thanks for the help, wxl. i should be good now for a while anyway. | 19:05 |
| wxl | tweakster: np | 19:05 |
| Grouver | wxl, hi are you still there? :) | 20:29 |
| Grouver | anyways, I worked it out. Its working now. | 20:29 |
| Grouver | Though the original problem i had was the following. I keep getting the message: "Disconnected your now offline" then it retries connecting ... and then again: "Disconnected your now offline" | 20:30 |
| Grouver | i searched the net for similair problems.. but couldnt find a solution. | 20:31 |
| Grouver | Now somebody over here told me to not test the internet via the live cd but just install it first and then try to find the problem. | 20:31 |
| Grouver | so its installed now... but i still have the same problem. | 20:31 |
| Grouver | I hope somebody can help me. | 20:31 |
| Grouver | nobody I guess? :( | 20:41 |
| phillw | Grouver: soz, I've only just landed on the page | 20:49 |
| phillw | what version of lubuntu are you installing? | 20:50 |
| Grouver | phillw, uh, let me check. | 20:51 |
| Grouver | lsb_release -a tells me: Ubuntu 12.04 | 20:54 |
| Grouver | But I installed lubuntu.. so iam not sure how to check the version of lubuntu. | 20:55 |
| phillw | wxl: for the last person with a usb device they wanted to make an ISO copy onto, I suggested https://launchpad.net/gdiskdump As they never came back to complain (and believe me... they would have!). I assume it works. | 20:55 |
| phillw | lsb-release will not show lubuntu... but assuming you used a lubuntu install disk, you will be running lubuntu 12.04 :) | 20:56 |
| Grouver | which is good? :p | 20:56 |
| phillw | Grouver: it is usual... kubuntu/xubuntu etc. will all show it as ubuntu :) | 20:57 |
| Grouver | okay. :) | 20:57 |
| Grouver | Its weird btw phillw. I have checked t he cable with a other computer and it worked. | 20:58 |
| Grouver | I also checked the network card by installing windows xp or whatever... and it worked just fine. | 20:58 |
| Grouver | Now only with lubuntu it keeps reconnecting to the wired network. | 20:58 |
| Grouver | So I have a feeling its not about the hardware. | 20:58 |
| wxl | it won't connect to wired? that's bizarre. | 20:59 |
| Grouver | it keeps reconnecting and showing me the popup in the upper right corner that iam offline. | 21:00 |
| wxl | Grouver: pastebin the results of ifconfig | 21:03 |
| Grouver | pastebin is gonna be hard without internet xD | 21:04 |
| wxl | haahah oh yeah i forgot | 21:04 |
| wxl | well shoot. | 21:05 |
| Grouver | ill save it to notepad to a usb? | 21:05 |
| Grouver | besides ifconfig some more requets so i can do test/do it at once? | 21:05 |
| wxl | you can save it to a usb but you'll be hardpressed to use a windows program to do it | 21:05 |
| Grouver | anyways... ill go upstairs.. | 21:07 |
| Grouver | be back in a bit. | 21:07 |
| Grouver | hmm well darn... it doesnt recocnize any usb device. =/ | 21:15 |
| wxl | so do you have an ubuntu install on that machine? | 21:15 |
| Grouver | no, only a lubuntu install. | 21:16 |
| wxl | well | 21:16 |
| wxl | when you installed it, it checked to see if you were connected to the internet, did it not? | 21:16 |
| Grouver | yes. i wasnt connected. | 21:16 |
| wxl | hm | 21:16 |
| Grouver | but somebody advised overhere to just install and see later whats going on. | 21:16 |
| wxl | can you run the live cd on that machine? | 21:17 |
| Grouver | yes. | 21:17 |
| wxl | and did it have networking when you ran the live cd? | 21:17 |
| Grouver | no it didnt. but again somebody here advised me to just install. | 21:17 |
| === cerebrate is now known as weeblhendrix | ||
| wxl | what card do yo uhave? | 21:17 |
| Grouver | I guess there is a command for that.. let me look that up. | 21:18 |
| wxl | lspci | grep -i eth | 21:18 |
| Grouver | hmm ok let me check.. after that i will go to bed. one sec. | 21:19 |
| === weeblhendrix is now known as cerebrate | ||
| Grouver | wxl, here we go: Intel Cooperation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 05) | 21:26 |
| Grouver | but it does work when i install xp or whatever. | 21:28 |
| wxl | that means little | 21:28 |
| Grouver | and its also not about the cable since if i hook up another ubuntu pc it works fine. | 21:28 |
| wxl | can't find anything specifically related to that | 21:29 |
| wxl | see if it persists in a live 12.10 environment | 21:30 |
| wxl | if it doesn't, install 12.10 | 21:30 |
| Grouver | okay will try that tommorow. Thanks for you help. | 21:31 |
