| acecase | So I just loaded this up, and it's hands-down the best distro I have ever used (used a lot). Now I find out it's dying. That sucks | 03:34 |
|---|---|---|
| acecase | I read that security and bug fixes will be around for until end of support, but I can't find a date on that | 03:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | acecase: What version? | 03:36 |
| acecase | latest | 03:37 |
| acecase | was it 14 something? | 03:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | 13.04 | 03:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And whoever said it was dying? | 03:37 |
| acecase | It's all over the net | 03:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | We'll be around loooooong after Mark Shuttleworth runs outta ideas :) nothing to worry about. | 03:38 |
| acecase | in fact, google lubuntu and you find nothing but stories about it | 03:38 |
| acecase | that's great news | 03:38 |
| acecase | I love this distro. It's what I would build if I were that level user | 03:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | acecase: Oh we're very much here. Come back during the day and chat with phillw ... or join our Facebook page at facebook.com/Lubuntu.Official.Page | 03:39 |
| acecase | I can't do facebook for the stalkers, but I'm really glad to hear it | 03:40 |
| acecase | wonder why everyone thinks the project is dying? | 03:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Because Mint is rising :P | 03:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And Ubuntu is a commercial distro | 03:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (Free, but commercial) | 03:41 |
| acecase | I'm an idiot. It's Fuduntu that's dying | 03:41 |
| Unit193 | Ah, was going to say you clearly have a different google than I do. | 03:42 |
| Unit193 | Not exactly commercial... | 03:42 |
| acecase | lol My google is better than your google | 03:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | :P | 03:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Now Chromium won't work. Look what you've done! O_o XD | 03:43 |
| Unit193 | (Since it gives you wrong results? :P ) Anywho, did you have a support question? | 03:43 |
| acecase | I don't, and I'll shut up now. Good night all. Sorry for the confusion | 03:43 |
| acecase | Now I have to find something else to complain about | 03:44 |
| Unit193 | You're free to join #lubuntu-offtopic too of course. :) | 03:44 |
| Unit193 | :( | 03:44 |
| Skymont | does lubuntu support readyboost? | 03:53 |
| Unit193 | "ReadyBoost" is a Windows thing, but you can setup /boot/ on a SSD for faster booting, IIRC. | 03:54 |
| Skymont | its like a disk cache | 03:55 |
| holstein | Skymont: i set up whatever it is in the asus EEE pc's one time. bootbooster.. or whatever.. i just dont restart the computer that much to care about it | 04:03 |
| Skymont | i don't think its only for system boot up | 04:09 |
| Skymont | i think its like setting up the SSD/Flash drive as the virtual memory or something, is this correct? | 04:10 |
| holstein | asus bootbooster is.. i thought, as Unit193 said, that "readyboots" was for usb drives | 04:11 |
| holstein | Skymont: yes.. that is what i understood it to be.. a "faster" disk cache, or whatever | 04:11 |
| Skymont | is there a tutorial on how to set up a flash drive as the virtual memory, i'm sure it will be faster on my laptop than the slower HDD at 5200RPM | 04:13 |
| holstein | whats the issue? | 04:13 |
| Skymont | is there a tutorial to set up a flash drive as the disk cache | 04:13 |
| holstein | i mean, pretty much, you cant make a dollar out of 15 cents... personally, i dont use swap much | 04:15 |
| holstein | you should check and see if you are even swapping.. | 04:15 |
| holstein | Skymont: i look at my system, and i dont have anything in the swap space, so, adressing the speed of my swap space wont really do anything | 04:23 |
| Noskcaj | why would you still have a hard drive when SSDs exist? | 04:48 |
| === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x | ||
| Skymont | Noskcaj, a 500GB laptop HDD costs around $60, and a 500GB laptop SSD cost around $360 | 05:33 |
| Noskcaj | Skymont, true, but it's so much faster. have an external HDD as well | 05:33 |
| * Noskcaj is away: I'm either at school or soccer. or i just don't like you. | 09:46 | |
| Hello_world | hey | 11:30 |
| Hello_world | can someone help me | 11:30 |
| ianorlin2 | how do you connect to wifi on lubuntu my laptop sees the network card | 13:53 |
| === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x | ||
| ibere_SP | hi there. I've installed Lubuntu 12.10 in my Athlon XP 1800+. I was running sudo apt-get udpate and after that sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. In the middle of some update, I lost the internet connection. System hang up. I rebooted, sudo apt-get clean and sudo dpkg-reconfigure -all. But system seems frozen, but HDD light is working for more than 1 hour... any clues? | 18:48 |
| dsan | I have AMD E2-3200 APU graphic card and having trouble with ubuntu's unity. could anyone tell me if I need xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop to get a better GUI performance? | 19:16 |
| Slendermang | Is this the correct channel if I need help with something? | 19:22 |
| Skymont | dsan, are there drivers sot that graphics? | 19:31 |
| dsan | Skymont, lshw -c video shows that it uses " driver=fglrx_pci", do I need to check another driver to improve the graphic card's performance? | 19:33 |
| Skymont | dsan, i'm a noob, try #Ubuntu | 19:36 |
| dsan | I tried there but nobody replies my questions | 19:37 |
| Skymont | maybe just install Linux Mint | 20:15 |
| Skymont | or Windows | 20:16 |

| DutyMule | dear lubuntu users! would you say that linux/lubuntu is easy to use for someone coming from windows? | 22:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | DutyMule: There's no time like the present to be asking that question. :) | 22:54 |
| DutyMule | meaning? | 22:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | One second... | 22:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ta-da! Found it... >>> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu | 22:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | One of our little projects, started by amjjawad | 22:57 |
| DutyMule | I'm actually here witha trolling attempt so dont waste too much time on me | 23:00 |
| DutyMule | but I went with my problem to#linux | 23:02 |
| DutyMule | and they said, quote "well your not using an official ubunut, use regular ubuntu or kubuntu" and "lubuntu is crap" | 23:02 |
| DutyMule | I'm quite baffled | 23:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | DutyMule: Trolling attempt? e_e That's not good. The truth is, there are a lot of rumors nowadays that "Lubuntu is dying/dead/crap/etc./etc./etc." | 23:03 |
| holstein | they? | 23:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (##linux) | 23:04 |
| DutyMule | obiously xubuntu and kubuntu are fine , but my first pick (lubuntu) is somehow flawed. | 23:05 |
| DutyMule | I asked them for the table of standarts | 23:05 |
| holstein | DutyMule: in what way? | 23:05 |
| holstein | them? | 23:05 |
| DutyMule | which distro is good and which is not | 23:05 |
| holstein | good is a matter of opinion | 23:06 |
| holstein | lubuntu can be tried live.. try it and see if it meets your needs | 23:06 |
| holstein | lubuntu *is* ubuntu.. with lxde and other customizations | 23:06 |
| DutyMule | I guess software updater wont work in live mode | 23:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | DutyMule: You got that right. Nothing's persistent. | 23:06 |
| DutyMule | that was the first thing I had problem with | 23:06 |
| holstein | DutyMule: i wouldnt expect to update large parts of the system from *any* live distro | 23:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | DutyMule: But that rings true for every Live image on Planet Earth, and some on Vulcan. | 23:07 |
| DutyMule | I'll now copy over lines from #linux | 23:07 |
| DutyMule | reisio [R] - the thing in particular is: after all the good things I've been hearing around, I've decided to install lubuntu 13.04 . I've used some linux live cds before and thopse helped me out. But now I aimed for a desktop. | 23:07 |
| DutyMule | reisio [R] it installs smoothly, I make a user, choose password, language and timezone. First thing to pop up would be this "software update thingy" | 23:07 |
| DutyMule | reisio [R] - it asks me to "authenticate" | 23:07 |
| DutyMule | reisio [R] - I do. It closes, reopens, and asks again. I try again and it closes for sure. How's that for a first experience? First thing you get to, and it is not working. | 23:07 |
| holstein | DutyMule: what is that? | 23:07 |
| holstein | DutyMule: how about this.. do you have lubuntu installed? if so, open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to update the os | 23:08 |
| DutyMule | holstein when I tried to google it from lubuntu - it gave out similar suggestions | 23:10 |
| DutyMule | holstein but that defeats the whole point of this. Why it simply doesn't work in a first place? | 23:10 |
| holstein | DutyMule: could be anything from you putting the password in incorrectly, to a bu | 23:11 |
| holstein | bug* | 23:12 |
| holstein | DutyMule: if you want to upgrade, use that above, or come here and tell a volunteer what the issue is | 23:12 |
| DutyMule | holstein , i've later typed my pass in some office app , and tried to copy that over , that did not help either | 23:13 |
| holstein | DutyMule: is the terminal method working for you? | 23:14 |
| DutyMule | I've yet to try, I'm on a windows now | 23:15 |
| DutyMule | I'll try terminal before unistall I guess | 23:15 |
| DutyMule | I wonder if i had no password chosen for my account in the first place, what would be the behaviour of that auth window | 23:16 |
| DutyMule | I figured I had to switch back to windows to have IRC capabilities, because in fresh lubuntu I'll need to install either java or irc app, which will prompt me again for a pass | 23:17 |
| DutyMule | i hoped that your account password and this update authentication turn out to be two different password somehow | 23:18 |
| holstein | DutyMule: when i moved to linux, i just instaleed it, and ran it.. on a laptop.. i sovled any issues that came up | 23:19 |
| holstein | a lot of the migration issues are that one is used to another OS.. | 23:19 |
| holstein | things are just different | 23:19 |
| DutyMule | i guessed i'd have some problems, but not right away. It's not a problem which is caused by some of my habits or something | 23:19 |
| holstein | DutyMule: i would argue java use is a bad habit.. | 23:20 |
| DutyMule | so i was frustrated and came here and ##linux to troll someone and get some anwers in meantime | 23:20 |
| DutyMule | holstein i loathe java myself | 23:20 |
| holstein | DutyMule: try and come here and work with a volunteer when you are not frustrated | 23:20 |
| holstein | this might help with your idea to troll | 23:21 |
| holstein | !volunteers | DutyMule | 23:21 |
| ubottu | DutyMule: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 23:21 |
| DutyMule | it's not that big issue for me, my first clean attempt did not work, who cares, i'll just go back. If it would a life or death question, I would be polite and nice and all that jazz. As I said at the very top - "i came here to troll, dont waste your time, maybe only if youre absolutely bored" | 23:23 |
| DutyMule | It's just I heard linux is this ultra-stable remedy for everything, and my first attempt had failed at the very beginning | 23:24 |
| DutyMule | really not the first attempt, I had tried lubuntu and others on some 2000 hardware, and ithad no gpu drivers for that thing. | 23:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !ot | DutyMule, then this flag is appropriate. So is !troll | 23:26 |
| ubottu | DutyMule, then this flag is appropriate. So is !troll: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:26 |
| DutyMule | But that's quite specific problem | 23:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ( Or #lubuntu and #lubuntu-offtopic ) | 23:26 |
| DutyMule | no, I've ranted my dose, thank you. Have a nice day/night all of you. Live and prosper. | 23:27 |
| holstein | DutyMule: it works for me, and many | 23:27 |
| holstein | DutyMule: if not for you.. no big deal | 23:27 |
| holstein | DutyMule: good luck! | 23:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Isn't it "Live LONG and prosper"? :) | 23:28 |
