| SineTheCreator | hi all. i just installed lubuntu 12.10 on a laptop. everything seems to be working very well, but i'm using gigolo and samba to mount network shares and i'm having an odd problem | 00:31 |
|---|---|---|
| SineTheCreator | shares mount okay and can be browsed with no problems. but when i try to copy a folder or somesuch the copy dialog will lockup after the first file | 00:31 |
| SineTheCreator | only one file actually gets copied | 00:32 |
| SineTheCreator | it happens if i select multiple files and copy/paste as well | 00:32 |
| SineTheCreator | i'm on wifi but i have a good signal and this card has worked fine in other distros. any ideas? this one is wracking my brain | 00:32 |
| IveBeenBit | I have an old laptop with about 220MB of RAM and a 1.3 GHz Celeron processor. I don't think it's able to boot from a USB. Can someone point me to an .iso file that is <700 MB so I can install lubuntu from a CD? | 01:22 |
| holstein | !minimal | IveBeenBit | 01:23 |
| ubottu | IveBeenBit: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:23 |
| holstein | you can add whatever desktop you think might work.. i would want to try the live CD and see how things are supported | 01:23 |
| IveBeenBit | OK thanks. I never thought of trying it from a live CD. Any opinion on these? The iso is 675 MB https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Alternate_ISO | 01:25 |
| holstein | IveBeenBit: by live CD, i mean, from usb or cd.. | 01:26 |
| holstein | IveBeenBit: the alternate or the minimal will install... not sure if the desktop will come up.. and im not sure about hardware support | 01:26 |
| IveBeenBit | Thank you. I'll give the alternat install a try and if that doesn't work, will use the Minimal. | 01:30 |
| IveBeenBit | OK when trying to install, I get an error that says: This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. Would the "minimal" installer be any better? I'm using the 12.10 alternate installer. Or do I have to go back to lubuntu 10.10 or something? | 01:52 |
| IveBeenBit | hrm, my message looks like it was truncated. The important stuff made it, though. | 01:53 |
| holstein | IveBeenBit: i would use a non pae kernel | 02:59 |
| holstein | !minimal | 02:59 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:59 |
| holstein | ^^ i would get 12.04.. or even 10.04 for that hardware | 02:59 |
| holstein | i would probably get a puppy linux live CD too | 03:00 |
| IveBeenBit | OK. It's getting late here but I'll take a whack at a minimal install tomorrow. Thanks! | 03:00 |
| holstein | IveBeenBit: the non pae kernel is the key | 03:00 |
| holstein | IveBeenBit: AFAIK, the pae is all we have from 12.10 on.. | 03:01 |
| IveBeenBit | There is a note on here about old hardware, but they don't use the word "pae." https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Alternate_ISO | 03:02 |
| holstein | IveBeenBit: thats why i said i would try 10.04... wouldnt bother me at all to run 10.04 on that hardware.. and it'll work | 03:05 |
| holstein | IveBeenBit: this is what you are dealing with http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-install-ubuntu-1210-on-non-pae.html as well as an older machine with low ram | 03:06 |
| holstein | what would i do? install the last minimal or server ubuntu i could tolerate installing on there | 03:06 |
| holstein | if i wanted a desktop environment, i would boot puppy | 03:08 |
| IveBeenBit | Good deal, holstein. Thanks again for the help. | 03:10 |
| holstein | IveBeenBit: cheers | 03:11 |
| datakid | hello, new to lubuntu, installing 12.10 over ubuntu 11.10. During installation when asked for type, does "Erase Ub 11.10 and reinstall" only affect my current root partition or does it reformat the whole drive. I have a separate /home partition that I would like left alone | 03:56 |
| datakid | they share a physical drive, and are parted with / on /dev/sda2 and /home on /dev/sda3 | 03:57 |
| holstein | datakid: i would to custom partitioning to be sure | 03:58 |
| datakid | choose the "something else" option then? | 03:58 |
| holstein | datakid: thats what i would do | 03:58 |
| holstein | erase 11.10 should do just that | 03:59 |
| holstein | if thats what you want to do, then you can do that... | 03:59 |
| datakid | "do just that" you mean it will only install lubuntu into /dev/sda2? | 04:00 |
| holstein | i mean, it will erase 11.10.. i have no idea where it is | 04:00 |
| datakid | ok, thanks holstein appreciated. Fingers crossed, am something elsing | 04:04 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Is there a particular reason why Lubuntu needs gksudo permissions to reconnect to networks? | 15:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Wow. Is anyone even here? | 16:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Hey Aksel | 16:07 |
| phillw | SonikkuAmerica: I don't have this problem with my 12.10 install. | 16:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | phillw: What? | 16:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | What problem? | 16:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Did you install the 13.04 beta 1 and run into a problem? | 16:12 |
| phillw | (16:55:27) SonikkuAmerica: Is there a particular reason why Lubuntu needs gksudo permissions to reconnect to networks? I've not tried disconnecting from the network in 13.04. The Beta 2 is due out today, I'll have a play with it and see if I (or others) can replicate it. | 16:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh, that. Funny how I forgot I asked a question. | 16:14 |
| phillw | do pay attention, we reserve the right to hold a quiz to ensure people are doing do :P | 16:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Especially here, with almost zero traffic. | 16:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | XD | 16:16 |
| phillw | I've got the Beta 2 installed on a VM, I'll ask someone using WiFi to see if they have the problem. | 16:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK. | 16:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I need to change host, so I'll be back in a sec. | 16:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I'm back... | 17:22 |
| leoquant | \o/ | 17:24 |
| phillw | hi SonikkuAmerica Ali is just having a different issue and is currently doing some further checks, he'll have a preliminary result in the next hour. | 17:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK... I have all the time in the world. | 17:25 |
| phillw | he's got to have a bootable system 1st :P | 17:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Any update on the "net requires gksudo" issue? | 19:00 |
| wxl | SonikkuAmerica: i seem to remember this probelm | 19:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And? | 19:01 |
| wxl | is the wifi conenction for all users? | 19:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I am the only user of this machine. | 19:01 |
| wxl | that's not what i asked | 19:01 |
| wxl | (and technically you're not) | 19:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Apparently the answer is no if you count root. | 19:02 |
| wxl | indeed | 19:02 |
| wxl | so make sure that the connection is available to all users | 19:02 |
| dorohoro | is there somone who do programing with Xlib i need help | 19:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wxl: How's that done? | 19:04 |
| wxl | in the gui | 19:04 |
| wxl | right click on the nm-manager applet | 19:04 |
| wxl | edit | 19:04 |
| wxl | click on the connection\ | 19:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | You mean left-click | 19:04 |
| wxl | hit edit again | 19:04 |
| wxl | look a tthe bottom left | 19:04 |
| wxl | right right | 19:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I see a checkbox | 19:04 |
| wxl | and it's checked? | 19:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yep | 19:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Should I uncheck it | 19:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ? | 19:05 |
| wxl | no, it should be checked | 19:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK | 19:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | dorohoro: Did you check in #xlib ? | 19:07 |
| dorohoro | i think it problem with lubuntu | 19:07 |
| dorohoro | it wont open applicaton in 32 bit depth | 19:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | dorohoro: Are you running 64-bit? | 19:08 |
| dorohoro | no 32 | 19:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | wxl: OK, so what now? | 19:08 |
| wxl | SonikkuAmerica: dunno. that usually resolves it. what card you using? | 19:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Hold on, I need to lspci | 19:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5677643/ | 19:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ^ There | 19:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Lines 19 and 20 | 19:11 |
| wxl | Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) | 19:11 |
| wxl | assuming you're only using wireless | 19:11 |
| wxl | i thought that's whta you said above | 19:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Sometimes I use the ethernet when the bandwidth is low | 19:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | for the wireless | 19:12 |
| wxl | and the ethernet has the same problem? | 19:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yep | 19:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | One sec... I need to restart, just ran updater | 19:12 |
| wxl | restart?! | 19:13 |
| wxl | did you get a new kernel? | 19:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK, I rebooted, purposefully disconnected and reconnected again. Seems to be no problem no. Weird... | 19:15 |
| wxl | updates usually help | 19:15 |
| wxl | reboots are usually unnecessary unless you got a new kernel | 19:15 |
| wxl | services get restarted typically | 19:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I'm new to Lubuntu, but not to any other release of Ubuntu. | 19:16 |
| wxl | that's not only true for the canonical family, but across the board on any unix-like system | 19:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Even OS X? | 19:17 |
| wxl | depends | 19:17 |
| wxl | if you're using, e.g. homebrew or macports, yep | 19:17 |
| wxl | if you're using Software Updater, it'll make you do whatever the hell it thinks you need, whether or not you truly need it. | 19:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | lawl | 19:18 |
| wxl | btw, best way to make a mac suck less: homebrew. get it. | 19:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I no haz Mac. | 19:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And if I did: *buntu amd64+mac image | 19:19 |
| redderhs | Best way to fix a mac so it doesn't suck at all: sell it on eBay and buy a real computer. | 19:33 |
