[01:36] when I enter a command 'sudo service cups start' I get an error 'start: Unknown job: cups' error. Also, there is no file in the var/log/cups area? Can anyone help troubleshoot why I can't get cups to start so I can add a printer to my new install of Lubuntu? [01:47] webereinc: try the wizard.. you shouldnt have to do it that way [01:49] holstein: 2 things: 1, what is the wizard? 2, I agree - but since CUPS didn't start on its own, I just want to start CUPS now and then look into why it didn't auto-start... But it's neither starting nor logging, so I don't know how to troubleshoot it... [01:50] webereinc: there is an add a printer wizard.. you dont need to start cups and go there manually [01:50] webereinc: try clicking "add a printer" [01:53] holstein: The 'add printer' button is greyed out and it says "Printing service not available. Start the service on this computer or connect to another server." [01:54] holstein: That is why I'm trying to start CUPS [01:54] webereinc: nothing about that references doing what you are trying to do [01:54] webereinc: do you want to continue in the #ubuntu channel? [01:55] holstein: yes [01:55] webereinc: enjoy! [01:56] holstein: can you give me any suggestions? [01:57] webereinc: i literallly click that button and add a printer [01:58] webereinc: you can try from the live CD.. you can try as another user.. you can read about starting cups properly manually if you think that will help [01:58] holstein: I understand, but if the button isn't there - [01:58] !cups [01:58] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [01:58] webereinc: the button *is* there [01:58] webereinc: is it grey because your user doesnt have permission? [04:18] hei all [04:19] im new to lubuntu and i just finished installing the x86 version however i can't seem to get my wirless adapter working for the internet. any suggestions? [04:19] What device? [04:20] does anyone know which ndiswrapper source i need to download? [04:21] Compaq sr1050nx [04:22] Alright, we'll try it again. What wireless card? What's the output of lspci ?

[04:24] theres no wirelss card pre installed just NVIDIA nForce2 ethernet controller [04:32] im trying to connect a netgear wna3100 adapter [04:37] !bcm | luz, it's a BCM43231 [04:37] luz, it's a BCM43231: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:43] thanks! lemme see if that will do the trick [12:35] lspci gives me VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller as my graphics card. I am trying to run Google Earth but it tells me that I do not have "3D accelerator card with shader support". HOw do I enable those please? [12:37] starts to be quite old and slow graphics card [12:37] by default it should be enabled [12:37] if it's not, then you card does not support shader [12:39] hey all, Was making the switch to lubuntu, since i tried lxde and love it, i was wondering has anyone got the mint menu working on the lxpanel? i think it'd make a perfect envoment for me. [12:51] bioterror: Is there any way to test it? Or check? [12:53] http://www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver/ [12:55] bioterror: : It says UNKNOWN [12:57] bioterror: : It says UNKNOWN [13:00] seems so [13:01] sounds like no Google Earth for you with that hardware [13:03] bioterror: Oh, how lovely. [14:49] morning all. Just started with lubuntu and love it...two issues: 1) I have window that is "stuck" at top of desktop with no handle to grab to bring it back down. 2) can I turn off touchpad touch as click, I keep selecting things with simple touch of thumb on touchpad...macbook pro. Thanks in advance [14:50] javatexan, press alt -key and then you should be able to drag that window [14:50] bioterror: sweet....thanks. I knew there had to be a trick...there always is. :) [14:53] javatexan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse [15:23] I am on macbook pro and touchpad tapping is turned back on even though gksudo gpointing-device-settings indicates its still off after restart...If I cycle it through turn on then off, it works. I am guessing this is not the preferred way ;), is there a way to make that setting stick? Thanks. [15:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse#Touchpad_settings [15:24] Edit ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart [15:24] Disable tap to click [15:24] @synclient MaxTapTime=0 [15:25] if that's what you mean [19:58] seems like the ~/.config/autostart with program.desktop does not work anymore and the ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart is the working method [19:58] running 13.10 [20:02] Guessing lxsession-edit doesn't help? Thought something changed with that, but can't remember what. [20:05] just a moment [20:05] gotta check again [20:07] yeah, I have them correctly there [20:07] and enabled [20:07] does not work [20:12] bioterror: doesn't work in either location? [20:12] it works if I use .config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart [20:12] but not with the .desktop files under .config/autostart [20:12] yeah those are in the lxsession-edit [20:12] but just does not work [20:13] yeah cuz i thought ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart was the way to make it work [20:18] According to the lxsession wiki, desktop files (freedesktotp standard) should work. :P [20:20] bioterror: not sure this is relevant to the current situation, but it does revolve around a similar problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1068640 [20:20] if someone is using 13.10, can he confirm this [20:20] Launchpad bug 1068640 in lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "user-configured autostart in home conflicts with systemwide file" [Undecided,Confirmed] [20:20] or is it me :D [20:31] bioterror: I've lost track of which one is the correct one now. [20:32] gilir: which is the correct directory area for autostart in 13.10 ? [20:32] ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart [20:32] at least for me [20:34] I know things have changed, just taken my eye off the ball. Having it definitive means we can ensure the wiki is up to date :) [22:27] bioterror: sorry for the delay, been on wiki duties for QA :D have a look at bug 579524 [22:27] bug 579524 in lxde-common (Ubuntu) "Create a common start* script to share common commands between lxde sessions" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/579524 [22:28] old bug, new fix :D
