Could someone point me in the right direction? Tango Yankee [19:40] Use a different desktop environment? [20:04] Yes, I think it went from a Gnome variant to KDE (or the other way) Is this possible with Ubuntu (I'm assumin it is) but how can I do this. I have v 12.0x now but I kinda liked the 11.xx that I first installed. [20:05] !purekde | You can "change" with this. [20:05] You can "change" with this.: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » [22:49] Hello? [22:49] Could someone help me solve a problem when I am installing lubuntu? [22:51] DavidP_, Hi, the channel works with you stating the problems, if someone knows they will answer, if no one does then you can try #ubuntu or #lubuntu [22:58] I am installing lubuntu, and once i click the "install lubuntu" button, it starts with the splashscreen. After about 3 minutes the screen goes black and soon after the mouse appears. Then the screen goes through a phase of showing a black screen, then ujst a mouse. A few times after this, the screen starts to flicker between sleep mode, and various other screens. This continues for as long as I have waited and yet nothing h [22:58] DavidP_, Have you checked the md5sum of the iso or disc, or checked the disc integrity at the first gui at powering on? [22:59] No, I will do. [22:59] What is the rough process? [23:00] DavidP_, That is generally where I would start. Rough process in what context? [23:00] DavidP_: are you currently on a widows or linux machine? [23:00] How would i go about checking the md5sum. I am very inexperienced. [23:01] stlsaint, Feel free here you would have more insight. ;) [23:01] DavidP_: are you currently on a widows or linux machine? [23:02] My main computer is running windows altough I am installing linux on an old computer for a web server etc. [23:03] DavidP_: how much ram on the older system? [23:03] 256mb although i believe that's ok for lubuntu [23:04] DavidP_: yes but its not ideal for it. which release are you trying to install? [23:05] 12.10 [23:06] DavidP_: have a glance at the wiki. The 12.10 requires more than 256 RAM for the "desktop" installer but you can use the alternate installer and it should run fine [23:06] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu [23:10] ok what distro would recommend for that kind of spec, considering i would like to run a web server and some other things [23:10] DavidP_: you new to linux yes? [23:11] DavidP_: ubuntu server will be fine and its well documented for web servers [23:11] i have used it a little. I have used ubuntu, know some simple commands and have a raspberry pi [23:12] DavidP_: lubuntu really wont be lubuntu as a web server [23:14] so ubuntu server will run on only 256mb of ram plus bear in mind the processor is only intel celeron [23:14] DavidP_: ouch forgot about that part with the ram [23:15] DavidP_: what type of content are you serving on the web with only 256 RAM? [23:16] it'll only be a basic website, and i might add more ram later on if there is large traffic or it needs bigger files on it [23:18] DavidP_: i am inexperienced with running low ram web servers. Least ive ever used was 2GB in a vm. But there is other OS's that may be able to but are some that i have never tried, IE: slax [23:19] DavidP_: although i know puppy linux can be ran as a webserver [23:19] http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=43285 [23:23] yeah i could run it on my larger pc which has 16 gb of ram but it is very powerful so it would be very power consuming plus i wouldnt be able to run windows in paralell [23:23] DavidP_: now you said a webserver and "some other things"...what other things if you dont ask me asking? [23:23] oh yea [23:24] there are always virtual machines :D [23:24] im happy to ill try puppy tho [23:25] Could also try AntiX for smaller, full featured. [23:26] that didnt make sense long story why lol. by other things i meant like maybe some python [23:30] antix seems good. btw im that bothered if the server is a bit slow its just a bit of an experiment really, just to make use of the computer. [23:30] *but not btw [23:33] DavidP_: cool, have fun [23:33] Unit193: go away :P [23:33] Good idear. [23:35] who go away? why? [23:36] DavidP_: not you, I was messing with my pal Unit193 [23:38] ok i will try some of those distros tomorrow but how would i check the md5 checksum to make sure the disk is accurate? [23:38] DavidP_: sorry not sure how on windows [23:39] im sure there is some little handy utility around [23:39] maybe?? http://www.winmd5.com/ [23:40] ok i will find out myself. should i check it once downloaded when on disc. In fact i think my disc burner has the function built in! :) [23:40] you can check the iso once you download it before you burn it [23:41] ok [23:41] Unit193: ping [23:41] stlsaint: Pong, but still need to get grub. [23:42] Unit193: go grub then ill bug you when you return [23:42] Unit193: i just have a strange issue with my directories i wanted to throw at you [23:42] thank you very much for your help guys, now i think i shall get some sleep :P you r a wonderful community, i love open source :D [23:45] DavidP_: later man [23:57] stlsaint: Kind of in and out.
