[00:42] 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? [00:54] systemd0wn do you know what type of problem this has been about ? [00:55] systemd0wn I rephrase : can you say more about the problems you met ? [00:55] and with which kernels ? [03:11] hi, im trying to get my usb headset activated as the default audio output device for alsa but for some reason even when i set in my .asoundrc it does not activate it anybody know where the central config is located at? [04:31] Fresh install problems [04:43] is lxde famous for crashing? [05:33] How can any normal soul stand lubuntu? It crashes 99% of the time... shockwave, in chromium will not go without crashing [07:21] hi people how can I start lubuntu in text mode [07:33] does pulseaudio come default with lubuntu? i inistalled lubuntu a coupel days ago, and im having problems with my usb headset and alsa, and i discovered pulseaudio is controlling some stuff [07:33] i thought it normally doenst come on lubuntu? [09:10] <_frosty-> is lubuntu suited best for my old laptop? [09:11] <_frosty-> running xp now is slow [10:46] hi does anybody know how to copy "this application closed unexpectedly" full error report ? i tried ctrl+c and rightclick but nothing :( [11:40] 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. [11:44] hi grouver, have u tried going for the custom solution and erasing everything with gparted [11:44] then installing fresh [11:44] How can I do t his without a OS? [11:45] i am not 100% sure, but i think so, can anyone confirm ? [11:45] i am gonna ask on ubuntu channel [11:47] they say u can install o a clean disc grouver [11:47] if u have imporant setting backup home folder [11:47] i always do that [11:49] 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? [11:50] 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 [11:51] then the ubuntu clashing with lubuntu problems will go away [11:52] 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] i4c, iam at work now. But I think i get it. [11:53] hi [11:53] instead of let lubuntu handle the whole removing I need to use gparted during the partion choose proces. [11:54] and do it manually myself. [11:54] yes, gparted is very intuitive to use [11:55] and after that goodbye unity and welcome lxde :P [11:55] i4c :) [11:56] I tried raring unity in my vbox yesterday, it almost killed me ! :D [11:56] i4c, thanks :) [11:58] bbl [12:11] hello goog people: is there a way to make gloobus-preview work with pcmanfm? [12:18] hi AndreeeCZ i am not aware of how, u should ask the gloobus devs at #gloobus or https://bugs.launchpad.net/gloobus-preview [12:21] i4c, the thing is that gloobus is unmaintained, the channel is empty etc === ZarroBoogs is now known as Pici [12:22] 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 [12:29] sad to hear about that AndreeeCZ sounded nice, have u tried alternative file previewers like sushi ? [12:30] i4c, havent heard of it. [12:31] nautilus-only? [12:32] its a shame all the file previewers i find seem to be made with gnome in mind [12:33] i dont mind gnome. (I personally use "sort of" xfce), but i do mind nautilus. [12:34] AndreeeCZ, have u tried nautilus forks ? [12:34] I have tried marlin [12:34] caja ? [12:35] pcmanfm fits perfectly for me. The only thing im missing is a hide-menu option [12:35] i think caja is supervised by the guys forking gnome 2, because they disliked gnome 3 or something like that [12:36] ill check it out [12:36] it is included in linux mint by default with the mate DE [12:37] http://www.noobslab.com/2012/11/install-mate-14-desktop-in-ubuntu.html [12:37] or u can try it in ubuntu [12:38] i use arch [12:38] and it requires mate-common [12:38] oh :d ok, i always wanted to try arch, but the installation process always seemed a bit daunting [12:38] but the AUR is very appealing [12:42] buon giorno a tutti [12:43] c'e' qualcuno che mi puo' dare una mano ? [12:43] bon giorno, englis please [12:43] h [12:43] :D [12:44] my english is terrible [12:44] my italian is non-existent [12:44] ahahhaa [12:44] :D [12:44] mah, thats terrible, i4c. pcmanfm is just the best and the quick-view is awesome. [12:45] 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] d [12:45] i4c, besides, i dont like gtk3 [12:47] ah okay, do u know any easy install script or something easy to install arch, like achieving lubuntu with arch [12:47] sry i cannot help u anymore AndreeeCZ :( [12:47] tnx [12:55] 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) [14:59] 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] entoo than lubuntu, so I'm still learning here) [15:04] k4jcw: Yes, all the official *buntu distributions use the same repositories, the main differences are in the different desktop environments they use as default [15:05] 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] If you're one of the maintainers/developers/etc, thanks! [15:06] k4jcw: I'm just a helper, but I'm sure some are around and will appreciate the kudos [15:07] 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. [15:30] 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. [15:52] same with me k4jcw i really like lxde+kupfer [16:53] _frosty-: the one you build yourself with no gui. [16:53] ooops wrong channel :) [17:56] 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. :( [18:26] isn't there a beginner lubuntu channel here? [18:26] tweakster: no, but feel free to ask questions [18:26] it's not like #ubuntu where they need a separate channel because there's so much traffic [18:27] i have a question about bash, which i cannot solve by googling.. [18:27] i installed lubuntu core but the XTerm does not seem to have a history at the prompt accessible with the up arrows... [18:28] at least i don't seem to be able to make it work... [18:28] that's strange [18:28] i looked at the .bashrc, but I cannot see anything that indicated it should not have this feature. [18:28] should be standard bash functionality [18:29] does it work in lxterminal? [18:29] let me give it a try there [18:29] works for me in xterm, too [18:29] echo $BASH_VERSION [18:30] when i use the up arrow, i see this: ^[[A [18:32] maybe some kind of keymap issue∆ [18:32] the command "echo $BASH_VERSION" does not return anything at all [18:33] huh? [18:33] natha [18:33] what about [18:33] whereis bash [18:34] as far as I have found, the commands work, but this history is missing, and apparently echo is having problems [18:34] echo $SHELL [18:34] /bin/sh [18:34] ah ha [18:34] you're not using bash [18:34] thus your problem [18:35] let's be extra sure [18:35] ps -p $$ [18:35] so lubuntu core did not install it with XTerm [18:36] that is indeed strange [18:37] i saw two lines with that command: first, PID TTY TIME CMD second, 9502 pts/5 00:00:00 sh [18:37] yep [18:37] you're running sh [18:37] so now try this: [18:37] whereis bash [18:39] whereis bash showed this: bash: /bin/bash /etc/bash.bashrc /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz [18:39] so you do have bash [18:41] okay, i think i got it working now from what you said [18:42] at the prompt after starting XTerm, I have to type bash [18:42] now i have the right looking prompt and i have history [18:42] so bash is apparently not loading automatically for this user [18:42] i'm trying to figure out where the default is set [18:43] i created this user after installing the OS [18:43] then i bet that's the problem [18:43] does the user you first created use bash or sh? [18:43] perhaps i need to assign bash to its default profile? [18:43] that first user is gone completely, i had to remove it. [18:44] Then you have no user with admin rights [18:44] so at least now i know what i need to do. figure out how to assign bash to a user's profile [18:44] or maybe he created new; made admin; deleted original genii-around [18:44] i have admin rights with a user named root [18:44] and with sudo [18:45] Hm [18:45] and that user's shell is…? [18:45] which user are you referring to now? [18:46] i only have two that i know of. my regular one, which i created, and root. [18:46] root [18:46] in any case, if i only have to type bash to get the bash shell, i am fine with that. [18:47] let me see what happens with root shell. wait one [18:47] i do not log on wit root normally [18:47] you can add SHELL="/bin/bash" to /etc/environment if you want to set it globally [18:48] interestingly none of my global environment files refer to shell [18:49] root has bash shell [18:50] strange [18:50] that's what i'd expect in any case [18:52] tweakster: chsh -s /bin/bash [18:53] i am looking in /etc/environment right now and there is only one line, which is PATH="......" [18:53] tweakster: that's why i used the word "add" [18:54] put SHELL="/bin/bash" as a second line, you mean, right? [18:54] right [18:54] or just chsh -s /bin/bash [18:54] which will change only your user [18:55] put that command at the bash prompt right now, or back at sh prompt? "chsh -s /bin/bash" [18:56] tweakster: doesn't matter. not a shell-specific feature [18:56] maybe it does not matter, i don't know [18:56] :) [18:57] what are you trying to do [18:57] zleap: he created a new user and got /bin/sh as a default shell. [18:57] you can change the default shell in the user settings [18:58] shell [18:58] system tools - users adn groups, select user and click advanced, [18:58] or you could do that [18:58] not sure that's part of lubuntu-core though [18:58] 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. :( [18:59] well there has to be some sort of gui tool for adding / managing users [18:59] it appears to be a command available to me, yes. [18:59] Here's a quickie: Is the latest (stable) Lubuntu image "dd-compatible"? [18:59] zleap: yep, the command line. [18:59] ok [18:59] SonikkuAmerica: afaik, they all are. [18:59] isn't the shell used by a user also in /etc/passwd [19:00] zleap: yeah, that's what chsh affects [19:00] thanks for the help, wxl. i should be good now for while anyway. :) [19:00] 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] SonikkuAmerica: it is? :) [19:00] ok thanks too, that is useful [19:00] Grouver: have you seen this? http://en.kioskea.net/faq/27144-lubuntu-error-message-stopping-cpu-interrupts-balancing-daemons [19:01] 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] That's how I installed Ubuntu (with Unity) last time. [19:02] SonikkuAmerica: oh now i get it; yeah that works [19:02] wxl: lol, I wasn't too clear with that. [19:02] thx [19:02] I'll b back [19:02] * wxl waves [19:02] wxl, NICE! [19:02] thanks :) [19:05] 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] tweakster: np [20:29] wxl, hi are you still there? :) [20:29] anyways, I worked it out. Its working now. [20:30] 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" [20:31] i searched the net for similair problems.. but couldnt find a solution. [20:31] 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] so its installed now... but i still have the same problem. [20:31] I hope somebody can help me. [20:41] nobody I guess? :( [20:49] Grouver: soz, I've only just landed on the page [20:50] what version of lubuntu are you installing? [20:51] phillw, uh, let me check. [20:54] lsb_release -a tells me: Ubuntu 12.04 [20:55] But I installed lubuntu.. so iam not sure how to check the version of lubuntu. [20:55] 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. [20:56] lsb-release will not show lubuntu... but assuming you used a lubuntu install disk, you will be running lubuntu 12.04 :) [20:56] which is good? :p [20:57] Grouver: it is usual... kubuntu/xubuntu etc. will all show it as ubuntu :) [20:57] okay. :) [20:58] Its weird btw phillw. I have checked t he cable with a other computer and it worked. [20:58] I also checked the network card by installing windows xp or whatever... and it worked just fine. [20:58] Now only with lubuntu it keeps reconnecting to the wired network. [20:58] So I have a feeling its not about the hardware. [20:59] it won't connect to wired? that's bizarre. [21:00] it keeps reconnecting and showing me the popup in the upper right corner that iam offline. [21:03] Grouver: pastebin the results of ifconfig [21:04] pastebin is gonna be hard without internet xD [21:04] haahah oh yeah i forgot [21:05] well shoot. [21:05] ill save it to notepad to a usb? [21:05] besides ifconfig some more requets so i can do test/do it at once? [21:05] you can save it to a usb but you'll be hardpressed to use a windows program to do it [21:07] anyways... ill go upstairs.. [21:07] be back in a bit. [21:15] hmm well darn... it doesnt recocnize any usb device. =/ [21:15] so do you have an ubuntu install on that machine? [21:16] no, only a lubuntu install. [21:16] well [21:16] when you installed it, it checked to see if you were connected to the internet, did it not? [21:16] yes. i wasnt connected. [21:16] hm [21:16] but somebody advised overhere to just install and see later whats going on. [21:17] can you run the live cd on that machine? [21:17] yes. [21:17] and did it have networking when you ran the live cd? [21:17] no it didnt. but again somebody here advised me to just install. === cerebrate is now known as weeblhendrix [21:17] what card do yo uhave? [21:18] I guess there is a command for that.. let me look that up. [21:18] lspci | grep -i eth [21:19] hmm ok let me check.. after that i will go to bed. one sec. === weeblhendrix is now known as cerebrate [21:26] wxl, here we go: Intel Cooperation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 05) [21:28] but it does work when i install xp or whatever. [21:28] that means little [21:28] and its also not about the cable since if i hook up another ubuntu pc it works fine. [21:29] can't find anything specifically related to that [21:30] see if it persists in a live 12.10 environment [21:30] if it doesn't, install 12.10 [21:31] okay will try that tommorow. Thanks for you help. [21:31] * Grouver waves! [21:31] see yuz [22:36] =( [22:36] * wxl slaps Slappybag [22:36] sorry, couldn't help it. [22:36] * Slappybag rubs face [22:37] Well, lubuntu has the least idlers on IRC of the main *ubuntu distros [22:37] WE NEED MORE POWER MEN! [22:37] is that per capita? [22:37] Yup. [22:39] I must return to my people. [22:39] good luck
