[01:30] HelloWorld321: set a hard to guess pasword :p you can have a look at gufw and clamtk and see if you need those [03:15] 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] 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] lubuntu and xubuntu *are* ubuntu [03:15] is there something obvious i'm overlooking? [03:16] its more likely you are using different versions [03:16] 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 [03:17] but, im proposing you did different versions [03:18] 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] well, they are the same [03:18] you can install xubuntu, since its works for you, and you are new.. then install lxde [03:18] thats why i dont understand why my wifi/network worked flawlessly under xubuntu but am having issues with lubuntu [03:19] yeah that might be my best bet at this point [03:20] i just wanted to make sure that the networking *should* be working, and that there wasn't a step i was missing [03:20] yes.. it should.. and its the same underneath [03:20] thats so weird then [03:21] maybe you upgraded one, and not the other [03:21] well yeah on xubuntu i was able to grab software updates because i wasn't having this weird network issue with my wired connection [03:22] so strange [03:22] so i tried to manually install the wifi driver, but then i was stuck in this endless loop of tracking down dependencies -__- [03:23] 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 [03:24] so, reinstall xubuntu, update it, then install lxde and it should be just as snappy as this fresh lubuntu install? [03:25] snapppy? [03:25] the os feels much faster than xubuntu did [03:25] is what i mean [03:26] i mean, your machine is your machine [03:26] it wont make it any faster [03:26] you can use lxde where ever you like [03:27] im not saying literally physically faster, but my xubuntu install felt much more sluggish than this lubuntu install [03:27] haha sorry if im not making any sense [03:28] i mean, its a low-power netbook, so i'm just trying to get a lightweight distro on it is all [03:29] zhx: use what works, then all lxde [03:29] add* [03:30] okay, i guess i wasn't aware switching window managers was that simple. it makes sense though [03:30] zhx: just install lxde.. not lubuntu-desktop [03:32] okay, haha, thanks so much for clearing that up for me man === wxl_ is now known as wxl [05:49] Good Morning [05:50] Does anyone know how to install Lubuntu via Command Line from CD? [05:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:53] then apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [05:56] minimal cd required [05:57] ? [05:58] (burned live ISO with only computer with a burner) === Noskcaj10 is now known as Noskcaj [06:14] vychune: or comand line install from live iso [06:14] yes [06:14] how do i start it? [06:16] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856449 [06:17] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454365 [06:32] still cant find this option [06:33] mini iso is better. you can use usb flash for it [06:39] JohnDoe_71Rus: ill just have to find a way to burn in else where [06:39] (pc is too old for usb boot) [06:54] JohnDoe_71Rus: thanks for the help [09:22] There's a problem with gsynaptics (touch pad controls). It refuses to disable touchpad tapping, although I have "Disable tapping" checked. [09:24] 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. [09:26] Sorry this is Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS with lxde. I should redirect this bug to the ubuntu room. [09:38] hi all === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [13:51] Having an issue, could anyone help? [14:22] 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] insomnia_, There is no Chrome. There is Chromium. [14:23] Depends on what you want to do. [14:23] 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 [14:24] okay, thanks. [14:24] HElephant: there is a chrome version available for linux [14:24] holstein, wtf, though there was only Chromium. [14:25] HElephant: its not in the repos, but google makes a version available [14:25] Oh okay. [14:26] 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. [14:27] insomnia_: doenst have to be "better".. better is a matter of opinion. if you want chrome, get it [14:28] thanks [14:28] insomnia_: i use chrome. https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ [14:31] also, is there a beginners guide to lubuntu? i've already read the lubuntu help/FAQ/wiki links above [14:31] thats a great place to start [14:32] any extra reading materiel? i'm very new to linux/lubuntu. [14:32] 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 [14:33] ask *specific* questions.. such as "i am trying to edit pictures, any suggestions on an image editor that does so and so?" [14:33] ok [14:33] otherwise, there are literally hundreds and thousands of applications, guides, users.. youtube videos.. tutorials.. wiki pages === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [20:14] 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] anyone seen anything like this? [20:17] Schism-: my best guess is that it does not have a blank partition or is not formatted ext4 [20:17] wait, that error was from the bug crash reporting program [20:18] I did a cfdisk -z on the device [20:18] I created partitions myself and mkswaped and mkfs.ext4 the partitions myself, same error [20:19] it gets about 60MB of stuff on the drive before the installer crashes [20:19] on /target [20:20] try making the disk unallocated [20:20] meaning? [20:20] I've not done nfs installs, so am not the best person to advise (unallocated = no partitions at all) [20:21] yeah, that's what the cfdisk -z /dev/sda did [20:21] doing that again though [20:23] let me try to do this using the 32bit desktop instead of the 64bit desktop... [20:24] with 1GB of ram the 32bit vs 64bit shouldn't be a big deal [20:25] with 1 GB of RAM you probably should go with 32 bit, IMO, since 64 bit uses a bit more RAM [20:25] yeah, it's all bits to me :) [20:26] running through the 32bit one now, about to get to the same part where it crashes [20:26] on the 64bit install [20:29] looks better on the 32bit :) [20:29] thanks! [20:50] binaryhermit: good point, thanks for that :) [21:26] Hiya. Any idea why a "dd if=/dev/random of=delete.this" does not seem to do much? [21:26] +might [21:28] /dev/random runs out of entropy and stops outputting random randomness? /dev/urandom doesn't care if it runs out of entropy. [21:32] binaryhermit, why does /random run out of randomness but /urandom not so? [21:33] binaryhermit, understand why now. Thank you. [22:01] Hello, using lbuntu, how do I get the file manager to warn me about file space limitations before a file copying operation? [22:49] how do you reinstall a fresh copy of lubuntu on a dual boot?
