=== jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [03:34] 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] 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] acecase: What version? [03:37] latest [03:37] was it 14 something? [03:37] 13.04 [03:37] And whoever said it was dying? [03:37] It's all over the net [03:38] We'll be around loooooong after Mark Shuttleworth runs outta ideas :) nothing to worry about. [03:38] in fact, google lubuntu and you find nothing but stories about it [03:38] that's great news [03:38] I love this distro. It's what I would build if I were that level user [03:39] 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] I can't do facebook for the stalkers, but I'm really glad to hear it [03:40] wonder why everyone thinks the project is dying? [03:41] Because Mint is rising :P [03:41] And Ubuntu is a commercial distro [03:41] (Free, but commercial) [03:41] I'm an idiot. It's Fuduntu that's dying [03:42] Ah, was going to say you clearly have a different google than I do. [03:42] Not exactly commercial... [03:42] lol My google is better than your google [03:42] :P [03:43] Now Chromium won't work. Look what you've done! O_o XD [03:43] (Since it gives you wrong results? :P ) Anywho, did you have a support question? [03:43] I don't, and I'll shut up now. Good night all. Sorry for the confusion [03:44] Now I have to find something else to complain about [03:44] You're free to join #lubuntu-offtopic too of course. :) [03:44] :( [03:53] does lubuntu support readyboost? [03:54] "ReadyBoost" is a Windows thing, but you can setup /boot/ on a SSD for faster booting, IIRC. [03:55] its like a disk cache [04:03] 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] i don't think its only for system boot up [04:10] i think its like setting up the SSD/Flash drive as the virtual memory or something, is this correct? [04:11] asus bootbooster is.. i thought, as Unit193 said, that "readyboots" was for usb drives [04:11] Skymont: yes.. that is what i understood it to be.. a "faster" disk cache, or whatever [04:13] 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] whats the issue? [04:13] is there a tutorial to set up a flash drive as the disk cache [04:15] i mean, pretty much, you cant make a dollar out of 15 cents... personally, i dont use swap much [04:15] you should check and see if you are even swapping.. [04:23] 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] why would you still have a hard drive when SSDs exist? === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [05:33] Noskcaj, a 500GB laptop HDD costs around $60, and a 500GB laptop SSD cost around $360 [05:33] 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] hey [11:30] can someone help me [13:53] how do you connect to wifi on lubuntu my laptop sees the network card === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [18:48] 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] 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] Is this the correct channel if I need help with something? [19:31] dsan, are there drivers sot that graphics? [19:33] 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] dsan, i'm a noob, try #Ubuntu [19:37] I tried there but nobody replies my questions [20:15] maybe just install Linux Mint [20:16] or Windows === bipul is now known as Bipul` === Bipul` is now known as bipul [22:51] dear lubuntu users! would you say that linux/lubuntu is easy to use for someone coming from windows? [22:54] DutyMule: There's no time like the present to be asking that question. :) [22:54] meaning? [22:55] One second... [22:56] Ta-da! Found it... >>> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu [22:57] One of our little projects, started by amjjawad [23:00] I'm actually here witha trolling attempt so dont waste too much time on me [23:02] but I went with my problem to#linux [23:02] and they said, quote "well your not using an official ubunut, use regular ubuntu or kubuntu" and "lubuntu is crap" [23:02] I'm quite baffled [23:03] 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] they? [23:04] (##linux) [23:05] obiously xubuntu and kubuntu are fine , but my first pick (lubuntu) is somehow flawed. [23:05] I asked them for the table of standarts [23:05] DutyMule: in what way? [23:05] them? [23:05] which distro is good and which is not [23:06] good is a matter of opinion [23:06] lubuntu can be tried live.. try it and see if it meets your needs [23:06] lubuntu *is* ubuntu.. with lxde and other customizations [23:06] I guess software updater wont work in live mode [23:06] DutyMule: You got that right. Nothing's persistent. [23:06] that was the first thing I had problem with [23:07] DutyMule: i wouldnt expect to update large parts of the system from *any* live distro [23:07] DutyMule: But that rings true for every Live image on Planet Earth, and some on Vulcan. [23:07] I'll now copy over lines from #linux [23:07] 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] 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] reisio [R] - it asks me to "authenticate" [23:07] 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] DutyMule: what is that? [23:08] 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] holstein when I tried to google it from lubuntu - it gave out similar suggestions [23:10] holstein but that defeats the whole point of this. Why it simply doesn't work in a first place? [23:11] DutyMule: could be anything from you putting the password in incorrectly, to a bu [23:12] bug* [23:12] DutyMule: if you want to upgrade, use that above, or come here and tell a volunteer what the issue is [23:13] holstein , i've later typed my pass in some office app , and tried to copy that over , that did not help either [23:14] DutyMule: is the terminal method working for you? [23:15] I've yet to try, I'm on a windows now [23:15] I'll try terminal before unistall I guess [23:16] 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] 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] i hoped that your account password and this update authentication turn out to be two different password somehow [23:19] 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] a lot of the migration issues are that one is used to another OS.. [23:19] things are just different [23:19] 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] DutyMule: i would argue java use is a bad habit.. [23:20] so i was frustrated and came here and ##linux to troll someone and get some anwers in meantime [23:20] holstein i loathe java myself [23:20] DutyMule: try and come here and work with a volunteer when you are not frustrated [23:21] this might help with your idea to troll [23:21] !volunteers | DutyMule [23:21] DutyMule: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [23:23] 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] 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] 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] !ot | DutyMule, then this flag is appropriate. So is !troll [23:26] 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] But that's quite specific problem [23:26] ( Or #lubuntu and #lubuntu-offtopic ) [23:27] no, I've ranted my dose, thank you. Have a nice day/night all of you. Live and prosper. [23:27] DutyMule: it works for me, and many [23:27] DutyMule: if not for you.. no big deal [23:27] DutyMule: good luck! [23:28] Isn't it "Live LONG and prosper"? :)
