| jefeti | hi there, need help please... I installed lubuntu on an old Toshiba Satellite 1400 laptop | 01:08 |
|---|---|---|
| jefeti | I always get black screen on boot... | 01:08 |
| Unit193 | !nomodeset | 01:08 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:08 |
| Unit193 | Tried that? | 01:09 |
| jefeti | yes i tried that without results... | 01:09 |
| jefeti | I also tried acpi=off | 01:09 |
| jefeti | no dice | 01:10 |
| Unit193 | Tried removing quiet splash to see what's going on? | 01:10 |
| jefeti | I can't access command line with Alt+F1 | 01:10 |
| Unit193 | Ctrl+Alt+F1 ? | 01:11 |
| jefeti | yeah, that one | 01:11 |
| jefeti | no luck | 01:12 |
| jefeti | it blinks the lubuntu logo then shuts the screen off | 01:12 |
| jefeti | I even tried installig lubuntu with an alternate installer... | 01:15 |
| jefeti | anyone... any ideas? | 01:20 |
| Unit193 | Tried any other distros? | 01:22 |
| jefeti | yes... xubuntu and ubuntu... | 01:25 |
| jefeti | same dilema | 01:25 |
| jefeti | and I'm also using LTS versions | 01:30 |
| Unit193 | There is no LTS of Lubuntu, but I'd see if knoppix or puppy work in live, to check for differences. | 01:32 |
| jefeti | It works fine with puppy | 01:53 |
| jefeti | haven't tried with knoppix though | 01:53 |
| * SonikkuAmerica never used Knoppix, but did use DSL at one time... | 02:13 | |

| alucardpotato | so i have ubuntu 13.04 currently installed. to use lubuntu do i have to do the iso thing? or can i add lubuntu or... LXDE to my splash? like i do with cinnamon? | 03:37 |
| Unit193 | Best way is of course a fresh, clean install, but there are others of course. | 03:37 |
| Unit193 | !purelubuntu | 03:37 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » | 03:37 |
| alucardpotato | hmm okay, thanks, will " sudo apt-get install lxde" give me the latest version? | 03:38 |
| Unit193 | lubuntu-desktop, actually. | 03:40 |
| alucardpotato | ahhhh i see, and will this "sham lubuntu" have the benefits i want? so after i select at the splash, will it really be lubuntu? and doing all the power saving good stuff, or no... hence the "pure lubuntu" extravaganza? | 03:41 |
| alucardpotato | or.. half + half | 03:41 |
| Unit193 | Well, you may still have all the left over gnome daemons running, but the DE itself will be "better" I'd say. | 03:42 |
| alucardpotato | yeah i'm not doing anything intensive, plus it's a 4GB ram laptop. all i'm gonna be doing is C in vim... but i like the idea of lubuntu... i may install the next LTS... or does lubuntu not have lts? | 03:43 |
| Unit193 | It doesn't, but 14.04 may be the first. | 03:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Unit193: I'm increasingly hearing it will be the first. What might the holdup be? | 03:45 |
| Unit193 | Lack of devs, pretty much. | 03:46 |
| JohnnyL | Hi, I was wondering. I have two machines. One with Lubuntu (it's not networked). I also have a flash drive. Where do I download gcc and all of it's dependencies? | 05:59 |
| Unit193 | build-essential? | 05:59 |
| Unit193 | !offline | 05:59 |
| ubottu | If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 05:59 |
| JohnnyL | Unit193: perfect thanks Unit193! | 06:01 |
| Unit193 | Also note apt-offline | 06:01 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 06:01 |
| JohnnyL | bizarre. | 06:08 |
| JohnnyL | usb no longer flashes, and no cp file copy statuses. | 06:08 |
| JohnnyL | wow that fucked up my entire configuration. | 06:17 |
| JohnnyL | now it's asking for glib at every corner. | 06:17 |

| HElephant | Hi, could someone help me install Lubuntu on my old Compaq Armada M500? | 16:55 |
| holstein | HElephant: i had one of those way back.. just download the lubuntu 13.04 iso and try it live, and go from there | 17:25 |
| HElephant | All right. I'll try it as soon as my Ubuntu 12.04.1 install finishes since that seem to work. I would rather have Lubuntu though. | 17:29 |
| holstein | HElephant: lubuntu *is* ubuntu | 17:31 |
| HElephant | I know. | 17:32 |
| holstein | HElephant: you can install lxde into that 12.04 install | 17:32 |
| HElephant | I am going to use i3. | 17:32 |
| holstein | HElephant: i dont think you do, or you wouldnt say "im installing ubuntu, but id rather have lubuntu" | 17:32 |
| holstein | HElephant: use what you like.. you can install i3 into 12.04 | 17:32 |
| HElephant | I know Lubuntu is Ubuntu based and a lot more lightweight. That's why I'd prefer Lubuntu on my M500. | 17:33 |
| holstein | HElephant: its not "ubuntu based".. its literally ubuntu... the same sources.. and an official version of ubuntu | 17:33 |
| HElephant | If it's Ubuntu, how can it be so much more lightweight then? | 17:34 |
| holstein | HElephant: it uses LXDE instead of unity.. | 17:34 |
| holstein | HElephant: and other customizations based on the same sources | 17:34 |
| HElephant | So it will be even more lightweight if I use i3? | 17:34 |
| holstein | HElephant: nothing makes your machine any faster | 17:35 |
| holstein | HElephant: you can just literally use less stuff, and free up system resources. at a cost | 17:35 |
| HElephant | holstein, Which will be the most lightweight if I use i3 on both distros then? Lubuntu or Ubuntu? | 17:36 |
| HElephant | ... since you said Lubuntu has some customizations to it. | 17:36 |
| holstein | HElephant: lubuntu *is* ubuntu | 17:36 |
| holstein | HElephant: so, you can literally make the same thing from both bases | 17:37 |
| holstein | HElephant: assuming you add/remove the same packages the end result will be identical | 17:37 |
| HElephant | All right, but what are those customizations? | 17:37 |
| holstein | HElephant: many things.. the biggest of which is the desktop... as i said, lxde instead of unity | 17:37 |
| holstein | HElephant: the filemanager.. no pulseaudio in lubuntu.. and others | 17:38 |
| HElephant | Ah okay! | 17:38 |
| HElephant | holstein, I successfully installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 | 18:22 |
| HElephant | holstein, is there any package I should NOT upgrade due to compability issues? | 18:59 |
| avis | does medibuntu still work ? last time i tried to use it would not connect to the server ? | 19:08 |
| Unit193 | Works for me™ When did you last try it? | 19:09 |

| karen_ | Hi, I want to check a wireless mouse on my computer with Lubuntu. It doesn't seem to work on my Windows Vista computer. Can I do that without to much effort? | 21:06 |
| ianorlin | not sure of drivers but it plugs into a usb right? | 21:06 |
| karen_ | I don't want to use it on Lubuntu just check it. Ya a usb port. | 21:06 |
| ianorlin | how do you check it works without running it? | 21:07 |
| karen_ | I guess it won't hurt to plug it in and try it, right? | 21:07 |
| ianorlin | nope | 21:07 |
| karen_ | k | 21:08 |
| karen_ | Nope, I think the mouse is broken. Thanks anyway. | 21:09 |
| ianorlin | does it need batteries in it? | 21:09 |
| karen_ | I put new batteries in it. It's been dropped a few times. | 21:09 |
| ianorlin | oh that will do it | 21:10 |
| karen_ | hahaha yep | 21:10 |
| blinkdot | hey i have an problem, i'm trying to make an usb key bootable with lubuntu to install it on my hdd and all i can see is a blinking dot which never end | 21:54 |
| blinkdot | i have the same issue since few months, i given up, but this time i want to solve it :/ | 21:55 |
| phillw | blinkdot: there have been reported issues with creating usb sticks. which method did you use and what version of lubuntu are you using? | 22:07 |
| blinkdot | 13.04, and i have tried with Universal USB Installer, Lili LinuxLive USB Creator and unetbootin | 22:08 |
| blinkdot | same thing happen with ubuntu | 22:09 |
| blinkdot | i do not have other usb stick to try with | 22:11 |
| blinkdot | it's more like a blinking dash, not dot | 22:12 |
| phillw | blinkdot: always ensure that you check the ISO before trying to transfer it to a usb stick. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/CheckISO_CD#Check_the_iso_file | 22:12 |
| blinkdot | md5 is ok | 22:13 |
| Unit193 | blinkdot: Tried nomodeset and all? | 22:13 |
| blinkdot | no, i will try | 22:14 |
| phillw | I've been told that the pendrive linux system gives good results and have also used LiLi myself (it's on version 2.4.0 now). | 22:15 |
| Unit193 | LiLi is pretty much the best tool, yeah. | 22:16 |
| blinkdot | i dot not have any menu at all i can't not select nomodeset | 22:16 |
| blinkdot | do* | 22:16 |
| Unit193 | F6, Esc, type nomodeset | 22:16 |
| Unit193 | !nomodset | 22:16 |
| Unit193 | !nomodeset | 22:17 |

| blinkdot | thx | 22:17 |
| blinkdot | i'm on an eeepc | 22:17 |
| Unit193 | !eee | 22:17 |
| ubottu | Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC . The Ubuntu EeePC Channel is #ubuntu-eeepc , main EeePC discussion in #eeepc | 22:17 |
| blinkdot | f6 and esc doing nothing, still a blinking dash. i will look at eeepc docs and the PLoP Boot Manager thanks | 22:20 |
| Unit193 | Plop, woo! | 22:22 |
| * ianorlin uses plop everytime he boots this desktop | 22:23 | |
| Unit193 | ianorlin: Oh? Rather than grub? What do you think? | 22:23 |
| ianorlin | both as I need it to get usb boot on an external hard drive | 22:23 |
| ianorlin | as the internal one broke | 22:23 |
| ianorlin | I use plop to launch grub on the usb external hard drive | 22:24 |
| ianorlin | as no usb boot in bios | 22:24 |
| blinkdot | wow http://makegadgetswork.blogspot.fr/2012/02/how-to-boot-from-usb-when-bios-does-not.html#more there too much steps to make it working | 22:24 |
| blinkdot | i give up, thanks anyways guys | 22:25 |
| Unit193 | Hah, nice. Too bad it's not a bigger external or you could just take it out of the enclosure. | 22:25 |
| ianorlin | It is out of the enclosure | 22:25 |
| ianorlin | I have disabled the old one but haven't taken it out | 22:26 |
| blinkdot | i hope it get fixed in the next year so i can install ubuntu on my netbook, cya | 22:26 |
| ianorlin | Is there any way to reorder th right click options on lxterminal so the close this tab is not at the bottom? | 22:32 |
| Unit193 | I don't personally know, use xfce4-terminal because last I knew you couldn't unbind a key in lxterminal. | 22:37 |
| ianorlin | I keep right clicking and it ends up closing my weechat connection | 22:37 |
| Unit193 | Use screen? | 22:38 |
| ianorlin | screen? | 22:38 |
