[03:34] <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
[03:35] <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
[03:36] <SonikkuAmerica> acecase: What version?
[03:37] <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
[03:38] <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
[03:39] <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
[03:40] <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?
[03:41] <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
[03:42] <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
[03:43] <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
[03:44] <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> :(
[03:53] <Skymont> does lubuntu support readyboost?
[03:54] <Unit193> "ReadyBoost" is a Windows thing, but you can setup /boot/ on a SSD for faster booting, IIRC.
[03:55] <Skymont> its like a disk cache
[04:03] <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
[04:09] <Skymont> i don't think its only for system boot up
[04:10] <Skymont> i think its like setting up the SSD/Flash drive as the virtual memory or something, is this correct?
[04:11] <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
[04:13] <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
[04:15] <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..
[04:23] <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
[04:48] <Noskcaj> why would you still have a hard drive when SSDs exist?
[05:33] <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
[09:46]  * Noskcaj is away: I'm either at school or soccer. or i just don't like you.
[11:30] <Hello_world> hey
[11:30] <Hello_world> can someone help me
[13:53] <ianorlin2> how do you connect to wifi on lubuntu my laptop sees the network card
[18:48] <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?
[19:16] <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?
[19:22] <Slendermang> Is this the correct channel if I need help with something?
[19:31] <Skymont> dsan, are there drivers sot that graphics?
[19:33] <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?
[19:36] <Skymont> dsan, i'm a noob, try #Ubuntu
[19:37] <dsan> I tried there but nobody replies my questions
[20:15] <Skymont> maybe just install Linux Mint
[20:16] <Skymont> or Windows
[22:51] <DutyMule> dear lubuntu users! would you say that linux/lubuntu is easy to use for someone coming from windows?
[22:54] <SonikkuAmerica> DutyMule: There's no time like the present to be asking that question. :)
[22:54] <DutyMule> meaning?
[22:55] <SonikkuAmerica> One second...
[22:56] <SonikkuAmerica> Ta-da! Found it... >>> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu
[22:57] <SonikkuAmerica> One of our little projects, started by amjjawad
[23:00] <DutyMule> I'm actually here witha trolling attempt so dont waste too much time on me
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <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."
[23:04] <holstein> they?
[23:04] <SonikkuAmerica> (##linux)
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <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
[23:07] <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?
[23:08] <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
[23:10] <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?
[23:11] <holstein> DutyMule: could be anything from you putting the password in incorrectly, to a bu
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <DutyMule> holstein , i've later typed my pass in some office app , and tried to copy that over , that did not help either
[23:14] <holstein> DutyMule: is the terminal method working for you?
[23:15] <DutyMule> I've yet to try, I'm on a windows now
[23:15] <DutyMule> I'll try terminal before unistall I guess
[23:16] <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
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <DutyMule> i hoped that your account password and this update authentication turn out to be two different password somehow
[23:19] <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
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <holstein> this might help with your idea to troll
[23:21] <holstein> !volunteers | DutyMule
[23:23] <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"
[23:24] <DutyMule> It's just I heard linux is this ultra-stable remedy for everything, and my first attempt had failed at the very beginning
[23:25] <DutyMule> really not the first attempt, I had tried lubuntu and others on some 2000 hardware, and ithad no gpu drivers for that thing.
[23:26] <SonikkuAmerica> !ot | DutyMule, then this flag is appropriate. So is !troll
[23:26] <DutyMule> But that's quite specific problem
[23:26] <SonikkuAmerica> ( Or #lubuntu and #lubuntu-offtopic )
[23:27] <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!
[23:28] <SonikkuAmerica> Isn't it "Live LONG and prosper"? :)
