=== Noskcaj10 is now known as Noskcaj [04:42] i can't figure out whats going on --- i keep trying to make a boot stick for lubuntu, but when i finish and try it on the target machine, it seems to have grabbed an ubuntu image instead of the 12.04 lubuntu i have labeled in my file. is there a 13.04 lubuntu i should download? [04:48] mikubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/13.04/release/ [04:51] holstein, thx -- found it. do you know any reason why the startup disk creator would be grabbing a different .iso image than i specify when creating a disk? doesn't make sense, but it happened various times -- lubuntu has it's own splash image for booting, right? [04:52] mikubuntu: i dont know why it would be grabbing an iso.. just point it to one you have already downloaded [04:52] ok, gnna try again with 13.04 [04:59] hmmmm -- i see that the startup disk creator tool seems to have ubuntu 12.04 'stuck' in it .... i try to select the other file lubuntu 13.04, but it doesn't populate in the creator [04:59] don't know how else to clear it [04:59] !unetbootin [04:59] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:59] i dont use that tool.. i use unetbootin.. or dd copy the iso [05:05] burning with xfburn now [05:06] but onto a disk, as i don't see any option to burn to usb [05:07] maybe i need to uninstall and reinstall the startup disk creator [05:07] as if it were a windows app [05:10] mikubuntu: dd copy would be "burn to usb" equivalent [05:10] also unetbootin works the same as startup disk creator.. [05:21] thx holstein -- is dd copy an app or a term command [05:21] i'll install unetbootin also [05:24] this target machine is an older gateway -- it's supposed to have wireless, and has an indicator light that wireless is on -- but its not detecting my router -- is there a way to check/troubleshoot it? [05:26] i don't have an ether cable long enough to make it to this room [05:35] unetbootin looks a little complicated [05:39] mikubuntu: unetbootin is easy peasy and it works [05:39] frankly i've had mixed results with startup disk creator. can't exactly say why. [05:39] dd works perfect but it is not for the faint-hearted or those uncomfortable with the command line [05:39] unetbootin can even do the downloading for you [05:40] startup always worked for me until recently -- i just uninstalled/reinstalled it maybe it will work again [05:41] i see that unet seems to download distro and version, but i din't see lubuntu in the list, only xubuntu and ubuntu [05:42] and when i tried to used the image file method, it din't seem to find my filesystem [05:43] huh, lubuntu's in my version and i use it almost daily with browsing for the image file [05:44] admittedly i'm using the version from getdeb, but i doubt that makes a difference [05:46] goes alphabetically from kubuntu, to linuxconsole, to linux mint on mine [05:46] maybe i need to update that also (found i already had it installed, but hadn't ever looked at it) [05:47] admittedly it will only load up to 12.04 and daily but [05:47] between mint and mandriva on mine [05:47] i'm running 583-1~getdeb1 [05:49] http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/12.10/?q=unetbootin [05:52] http://imagebin.org/263650 [06:30] got installation done lubuntu 1304, but definitely DON'T have wireless !! anybody up to help me troubleshoot? machine is not detecting my wireless router at all. [06:35] what's your wireless card mikubuntu ? [06:37] lspci should help you find it mikubuntu [06:43] wxl, sorry had to run the dog out .... let me try lspci now [06:47] no prob, i was cooking :) [06:47] wxl :: network controller: Broadcom Corp BCM4318 (AirForce One 54g) 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 2) [06:47] ah, broadcom [06:47] linux's worst enemy [06:47] :( [06:48] do you have an ethernet cable handy? [06:48] damn, not handy for this room [06:48] do you have another computer? [06:48] yes, the laptop i'm on right next to the target [06:48] (with some kind of internet connection) [06:49] ok then we'll do some downloading [06:49] wireless [06:49] assuming you also have a usb drive handy [06:49] i have the one i burnt the lubuntu 1304 to --- do i have to erase it? [06:50] well if you don't have an ethernet cable handy, you won't be able to download the necessary drivers and firmware [06:50] so our alternate possibility is to download it with another computer and somehow get it to the one in question [06:50] you could also do it with disposable media but it seems like a waste to me [06:52] hmmmm ... well, i have 98 cds i paid $2 for, don't mind throwing out 2c for the team [06:53] guess i might want to keep it in files, in case i ever run into broadcom again [06:54] well, you will need a different version for a different version of lubuntu [06:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43_-_No_Internet_access [06:56] hmmmm .... don't see package for 13.04 [06:56] 1s [06:58] oh duh [06:58] i'm an idiot [06:58] i forgot i figured out a better way to do this [06:59] thats good, cause i just remembered there's no way i can wrap my head around anything in that link :( [06:59] :/ [07:03] try this http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/multiverse/b/b43-fwcutter/firmware-b43-installer_015-14_all.deb [07:04] get that and then install it with your weapon of choice [07:04] ok, downloaded [07:04] i prefer sudo dpkg -i firmware-blahblahblah… [07:05] then you'll need to restart typically [07:05] there's ways around that if you want to mess with kernel modules [07:05] so, you want me to load a disk into the laptop, and then save it via command line? [07:05] me no have relationship with the kernel [07:06] get it over to that machine by your preferred means [07:06] install it [07:06] restart [07:06] then your wireless should be active and happy and you can put in any needed information to connect [07:06] can you sort of walk me through it? i don't even know how to get the file onto a disk. [07:07] well this other computer has what os on it? [07:07] ubuntu/edubuntu/lubuntu [07:08] uhhhhhh [07:08] triple boot? [07:08] well, no -- it started with ubuntu, and i just added edubuntu and lubuntu [07:08] desktop packages [07:09] so i always session in with lubuntu [07:09] O_O [07:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning [07:12] xfburn is what lubuntu uses [07:17] ok, burning with brasero [07:18] "success" [07:19] ok, wxl, i have the disk placed in the target laptop [07:21] dialogue box opens -- has one option: open in file manager [07:21] so now you need to install it [07:22] sounds so easy [07:22] :( [07:22] you should have gdebi i think, so you should just be able to double click on the deb file [07:22] you managed to install 3 different desktops didn't you? :) [07:22] so i should open with the file manager first? [07:22] should work fine [07:23] could not open the file :: the package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open. check the permission. [07:24] fine, just open a terminal [07:24] then you need to cd to the location of the file [07:24] e.g. if it was in your Downloads folder, you'd use the command: cd ~/Downloads [07:25] where ~ is a shortcut for /home/your-username [07:25] stop me if i'm telling you something you already know [07:25] open current folder in term? or open current folder as Root? [07:26] doesn't matter unless you have some funky situation where your user doesn't have admin access [07:26] i'm lost [07:27] i wish i had time to tell you all about linux but frankly i don't [07:27] just pick one or the other, it doesn't matter [07:27] the folder is in /media/lubuntu/Data disc (07 Jul 13) [07:28] so type: [07:28] cd /media/lubuntu/Data disc (07 Jul 13) [07:29] well [07:29] i guess that's not right [07:29] cd "/media/lubuntu/Data disc (07 Jul 13)" [07:29] so enter in term with quotation marks? [07:29] yep [07:29] ok, lemme try [07:31] output is :: /media/lubuntu/Data disc (07 Jul 13)$ [07:32] now: [07:32] sudo dpkg -i firmware[HIT TAB] [07:32] k [07:32] hitting tab there should complete the rest of the filename [07:32] then it will ask you for your password [07:34] errors were encountered [07:34] such as? [07:35] dpkg split: error: error reading firmware-b43 ....deb Input/Output error [07:35] huh [07:35] that's weird [07:36] well we could do this the old fashioned way but i don't have time to explain it [07:36] so what i'd do, frankly, is get an ethernet cable to it [07:37] then it's super-easy [07:37] ok, i've used enough of your time tonite [07:37] you already have the knowledge you need ot make it happen [07:37] you just need to install firmware-b43-installer [07:37] after that, you're good [07:37] well and a restart [07:38] so get that super long ethernet cable [07:38] gotta jet [07:38] ok, wxl -- ty again [10:07] hi everyone! newbie here :) [10:11] what is the command to terminate a process in lubuntu? [10:19] Hi. is it ok to uninstall alsa in lubuntu? i got my mic working in pulseaudio it's working great, but in alsa it is muted, i have pulseaudio installed so is it safe to remove alsa? [10:32] jeri: you can not remove alsa [10:32] first, it's needed by pulse [10:32] but second, it's part of the kernel too [10:45] why i cannot remove alsa? [14:15] trying to get b43 firmware installed to support broadcom wireless, but i'm having issues -- i have the .deb file loaded on a cd, but when i click to get gdebi to open get this error msg: Could not open ... The package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file. Check the permissions of the file. [14:16] in another instance, i got a msg that 'the dependencies are not satisfiable' === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [14:27] ok, wait -- trying another method that someone suggested last nite -- took the laptop in another room that could reach the wired connection --- i used command 'sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer' but i get output: could not find firmware-b43-installer [14:36] doing the updates on the install, hoping that sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer will work after updates complete [14:59] success, wireless working [15:33] whats a good screenshot app to install for lubuntu? [15:34] nothing shows in the software center for 'screenshot' [16:47] have an old dell latitude d600 -- doesn't seem to want to boot from cd drive (i thought it was faulty) or usb -- the box does, or is supposed to be able to boot from usb as i set it in one time boot -- but it isn't doing anything, and have a blank screen [16:48] when the usb was first inserted, it blinked a few times -- but not doing anything now [16:49] well, cursor blinking in top left, but thats all -- is there any way to trouble shoot? [16:49] got it for $10 at a garage sale [16:56] ran bios diagnostics, says no drive detected -- but even if there were no hdd in it wouldn't it boot on usb? [17:09] so, trying to get this dell d600 latitude working -- won't boot from cd, won't boot from usb -- just watched this vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEeHxopvR3I) to find the hdd, and it indeed has one in it. but trying to boot from hdd computer says 'no bootable devices' === zleap is now known as DarthVader === DarthVader is now known as DarthVader2 === DarthVader2 is now known as zleap === JesseH is now known as Zokk === Zokk is now known as JesseH === JesseH2 is now known as Zokk [23:46] is there a quick & easy way to add transparency to guake ?
