| zhx | Hello, I've just installed Lubuntu on my Dell Inspiron Mini and am having networking issues. Xubuntu worked out of the box for me, but I want something lighter. The wifi is not working, and I cannot get it to connect to the internet to download the drivers I need through ethernet, either. | 03:15 |
| zhx | It does not seem to be an issue with my network; I get an IP, DNS servers, etc, but I cannot ping anything (including the router), and chromium won't browse to any pages | 03:15 |
| holstein | lubuntu and xubuntu *are* ubuntu | 03:15 |
| zhx | is there something obvious i'm overlooking? | 03:15 |
| holstein | its more likely you are using different versions | 03:16 |
| zhx | right, but rather than install ubuntu and then a different window manager, etc, i just installed lubuntu fresh since I'm not super comfortable in linux | 03:16 |
| holstein | but, im proposing you did different versions | 03:17 |
| zhx | both my xubuntu and lubuntu downloads are 13.0.4. I mean, the time between me installing xubuntu and lubuntu was like a week | 03:18 |
| holstein | well, they are the same | 03:18 |
| holstein | you can install xubuntu, since its works for you, and you are new.. then install lxde | 03:18 |
| zhx | thats why i dont understand why my wifi/network worked flawlessly under xubuntu but am having issues with lubuntu | 03:18 |
| zhx | yeah that might be my best bet at this point | 03:19 |
| zhx | i just wanted to make sure that the networking *should* be working, and that there wasn't a step i was missing | 03:20 |
| holstein | yes.. it should.. and its the same underneath | 03:20 |
| zhx | thats so weird then | 03:20 |
| holstein | maybe you upgraded one, and not the other | 03:21 |
| zhx | well yeah on xubuntu i was able to grab software updates because i wasn't having this weird network issue with my wired connection | 03:21 |
| zhx | so strange | 03:22 |
| zhx | so i tried to manually install the wifi driver, but then i was stuck in this endless loop of tracking down dependencies -__- | 03:22 |
| zhx | and im worried that even if i do get wifi working, i wont connect, since the laptop is theoretically connected right now and isn't working | 03:23 |
| zhx | so, reinstall xubuntu, update it, then install lxde and it should be just as snappy as this fresh lubuntu install? | 03:24 |
| holstein | snapppy? | 03:25 |
| zhx | the os feels much faster than xubuntu did | 03:25 |
| zhx | is what i mean | 03:25 |
| holstein | i mean, your machine is your machine | 03:26 |
| holstein | it wont make it any faster | 03:26 |
| holstein | you can use lxde where ever you like | 03:26 |
| zhx | im not saying literally physically faster, but my xubuntu install felt much more sluggish than this lubuntu install | 03:27 |
| zhx | haha sorry if im not making any sense | 03:27 |
| zhx | i mean, its a low-power netbook, so i'm just trying to get a lightweight distro on it is all | 03:28 |
| holstein | zhx: use what works, then all lxde | 03:29 |
| holstein | add* | 03:29 |
| zhx | okay, i guess i wasn't aware switching window managers was that simple. it makes sense though | 03:30 |
| holstein | zhx: just install lxde.. not lubuntu-desktop | 03:30 |
| zhx | okay, haha, thanks so much for clearing that up for me man | 03:32 |

| user8382 | There's a problem with gsynaptics (touch pad controls). It refuses to disable touchpad tapping, although I have "Disable tapping" checked. | 09:22 |
| user8382 | Lubuntu 12.04. I had to check 'disable tapping and scrolling' to disable tapping alone, but i'm going to lose webpage scolling via touchpad. | 09:24 |
| user8382 | Sorry this is Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS with lxde. I should redirect this bug to the ubuntu room. | 09:26 |

| HElephant | Having an issue, could anyone help? | 13:51 |
| insomnia_ | hi everyone, today i replaced windows 7 with lubuntu on my Netbook, i'm just wondering is there a recommended app list? (ie libre office, chrome, vlc, etc) | 14:22 |
| HElephant | insomnia_, There is no Chrome. There is Chromium. | 14:22 |
| Unit193 | Depends on what you want to do. | 14:23 |
| holstein | insomnia_: i would just use the default applications, much like you probably did when you first started using windows.. i would go from there, and try suggestions as your needs become more specified | 14:23 |
| insomnia_ | okay, thanks. | 14:24 |
| holstein | HElephant: there is a chrome version available for linux | 14:24 |
| HElephant | holstein, wtf, though there was only Chromium. | 14:24 |
| holstein | HElephant: its not in the repos, but google makes a version available | 14:25 |
| HElephant | Oh okay. | 14:25 |
| insomnia_ | i don't mean to start anything, but i find Chrome has better support than Chromium. there's just a lot less things i need to mess with. | 14:26 |
| holstein | insomnia_: doenst have to be "better".. better is a matter of opinion. if you want chrome, get it | 14:27 |
| insomnia_ | thanks | 14:28 |
| holstein | insomnia_: i use chrome. https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ | 14:28 |
| insomnia_ | also, is there a beginners guide to lubuntu? i've already read the lubuntu help/FAQ/wiki links above | 14:31 |
| holstein | thats a great place to start | 14:31 |
| insomnia_ | any extra reading materiel? i'm very new to linux/lubuntu. | 14:32 |
| holstein | insomnia_: i would just prepare for failure... if you want to experiment, load up the live CD, and break that.. try things on a test user account.. get a secondary machine (cheap/free) and install lubuntu, and experiment there | 14:32 |
| holstein | ask *specific* questions.. such as "i am trying to edit pictures, any suggestions on an image editor that does so and so?" | 14:33 |
| insomnia_ | ok | 14:33 |
| holstein | otherwise, there are literally hundreds and thousands of applications, guides, users.. youtube videos.. tutorials.. wiki pages | 14:33 |

| Schism- | hey, I am trying to install 13.04 on a machine with a blank 250GB hd via nfs livecd, and I am getting an error 28, saying there is no space left on device | 20:14 |
| Schism- | anyone seen anything like this? | 20:14 |
| phillw | Schism-: my best guess is that it does not have a blank partition or is not formatted ext4 | 20:17 |
| Schism- | wait, that error was from the bug crash reporting program | 20:17 |
| Schism- | I did a cfdisk -z on the device | 20:18 |
| Schism- | I created partitions myself and mkswaped and mkfs.ext4 the partitions myself, same error | 20:18 |
| Schism- | it gets about 60MB of stuff on the drive before the installer crashes | 20:19 |
| Schism- | on /target | 20:19 |
| phillw | try making the disk unallocated | 20:20 |
| Schism- | meaning? | 20:20 |
| phillw | I've not done nfs installs, so am not the best person to advise (unallocated = no partitions at all) | 20:20 |
| Schism- | yeah, that's what the cfdisk -z /dev/sda did | 20:21 |
| Schism- | doing that again though | 20:21 |
| Schism- | let me try to do this using the 32bit desktop instead of the 64bit desktop... | 20:23 |
| Schism- | with 1GB of ram the 32bit vs 64bit shouldn't be a big deal | 20:24 |
| binaryhermit | with 1 GB of RAM you probably should go with 32 bit, IMO, since 64 bit uses a bit more RAM | 20:25 |
| Schism- | yeah, it's all bits to me :) | 20:25 |
| Schism- | running through the 32bit one now, about to get to the same part where it crashes | 20:26 |
| Schism- | on the 64bit install | 20:26 |
| Schism- | looks better on the 32bit :) | 20:29 |
| Schism- | thanks! | 20:29 |
| phillw | binaryhermit: good point, thanks for that :) | 20:50 |
| vjacob | Hiya. Any idea why a "dd if=/dev/random of=delete.this" does not seem to do much? | 21:26 |
| vjacob | +might | 21:26 |
| binaryhermit | /dev/random runs out of entropy and stops outputting random randomness? /dev/urandom doesn't care if it runs out of entropy. | 21:28 |
| vjacob | binaryhermit, why does /random run out of randomness but /urandom not so? | 21:32 |
| vjacob | binaryhermit, understand why now. Thank you. | 21:33 |
