[14:30] <Rarrikins> Some of the software I've installed has huge icons in the applications menu. How do I fix that?
[14:35] <bennypr0fane> everyone, is there a difference, in the amount of work to be done, and in technical difficulty, between: 1) upgrading from a x.04 to a x.10 release, and 2) upgrading from an x.10 release to an (x+1).04 release?
[15:39] <palash> hiui
[15:40] <palash> hi i am looking for some to help me to install ubuntu on tablet
[15:40] <DrDetroit> Hello, for many years I had run a redhat machine that was my router and firewall, and it worked flawlessly from 2002 to 2013 when the hd started having errors.
[15:41] <DrDetroit> It was a pentuim 1 with 256mb ram. and a 20mb hd. I was wondering if Lubuntu would do the same job?
[15:41] <DrDetroit> On the same machine
[15:43] <palash> i have seen video on ubuntu official site running ubuntu on nexus
[16:39] <manolos> Hi. In my Lubuntu setup, my mic is quiet and when i rise db i have noises and i can hear my voice. I use alsa (no pulse installed)
[16:39] <manolos> Can anyone suggest a solution?
[16:45] <holstein> manolos: try pulse... i would expect a bit of noise there.. .try another mic or hardware designed for what you are doing
[16:46] <manolos> i have many problems with pulse and specially with skype
[16:46] <holstein> manolos: i use skype with and without pulse
[16:47] <holstein> manolos: i would look in alsamixer and try muting things.. play around with the settings
[16:48] <manolos> ok ill try that
[19:04] <bennypr0fane> Hello
[19:04] <bennypr0fane> is there a difference, in the amount of work to be done, and in technical difficulty, between: 1) upgrading from a x.04 to a x.10 release, and 2) upgrading from an x.10 release to an (x+1).04 release?
[19:10] <Myrtti> no.
[19:10] <gomiboy> bennypr0fane: no difference, unless for troublesome values of x  :)
[19:10] <Myrtti> atleast theoretically.
[19:11] <Myrtti> also, crossposting is a bit rude, you might end up getting conflicting information and help and it can be distracting to both you and the person who tries to help you.
[19:26] <bennypr0fane> Myrtti really, you think it's rude? I actually wouldn't consider this crossposting
[19:26] <Myrtti> bennypr0fane: a *bit*
[19:27] <Myrtti> just enough to warrant mentioning it, but not enough to start a bigger hissy fit about it.
[19:28] <bennypr0fane> I dunno, I don't see any harm aksing the same questions in 2 IRC channels. I'm not having a fit about it, I'd just like to understand what is specifically that you consider rude.
[19:29] <bennypr0fane> I mean we all know the situation where in one place there is no one who can help you, so you go try the place, right?
[19:29] <bennypr0fane> *the next place
[19:30] <Myrtti> anyway, you got your answer and this time it wasn't conflicting with the information you got from the other place, so you're all good.
[19:30] <bennypr0fane> yes
[19:31] <bennypr0fane> So, I'd like to crosspost that other question too, actually. May I?
[19:34] <bennypr0fane> When I edit /etc/default/grub and do update-grub, nothing changes in the bootmenu. also, the grub file doesn't look anything like my actual bootmenu. There are 4 Linuxes on my harddrive. I'm wondering where that grub that is booting me now is located and where's the one that I edited just now. The last install that I did was Bodhi Linux, and that is what boots by default now. So how can I make Lubuntu control my desired GRub config now?
[19:36] <bennypr0fane> IIRC, Grub is placed on master boot record, which is the first sector on my harddrive, and only one instnace of grub can be present there - correct?
[19:43] <Unit193> Can't you just use the "grub installer" and reinstall grub from Lubuntu?
[19:44] <bennypr0fane> grub installer?
[19:44] <bennypr0fane> haven't heard of it. is it in the repos?
[19:45] <holstein> !grub | bennypr0fane should mention it
[19:47] <Unit193> (grub-install, comes with it.) That wiki should help.
[19:51] <bennypr0fane> ok, trying grub-install now
[20:05] <bennypr0fane> thanks, grub-install worked! I wonder why there are 2 instnaces of Lubuntu in the boot menu though. There's "Ubuntu <kernel ver>" (which is my Lubuntu, I dunno why it isn't named so), thgen there's "Previous Linux versions", and then again "Ubuntu <kernel ver>", both "Ubuntus" boot the same OS
[20:29] <Unit193> bennypr0fane: It's basically a handy list, then a "List all" type of thing.
[20:40] <bennypr0fane> Unit193 I don't understand
[23:45] <phillw> wxl: ping!!
