[00:17] hi [00:17] hmm [01:11] after installing lubuntu and rebooting, i'm taking to a boot screen where i can select what i want to boot of off and selecting anything just restarts the computer [01:11] this happened to me once before and i managed to fix it by setting up a boot flag in my root partition [01:12] this time i let the lubuntu installer set up my partitions automatically, and there already seems to be a boot flag in the root partition [01:13] when i open gparted i get an error "/dev/sdb contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Is this a GPT partition table?" === lubuntu is now known as Guest87294 [02:57] how do i install flash? [02:59] Install lubuntu-restricted-extras, which should install adobe-flashplugin or flashplugin-installer. [03:00] how big is it in size [03:00] lubuntu-restricted-extras? [03:01] It depends on several packages, but not too bad. [04:44] problem: no wifi in lubuntu 13. chipset Ralink 2571 [04:44] lsusb reveals my wifi dongle is connected. [04:44] I want to connect WiFi via the command line (I' [04:46] I did the following: ifconfig wlan0 up (followed by) iwconfig wlan0 ssid xxxxxxx key yyyyyy (followed by) dhclient wlan0 [04:46] no go. [04:47] That's the usual process to get WiFi up and running from terminal isn't it? Not working. Faulty ralink driver?? [04:49] I know my WiFi works with an older kernel/distro cause I was using it. But it fails in Lubuntu 13. [05:26] Looks like the Lubuntu developers botched the USB WiFi yet again... [05:26] what do you mean? [05:26] 2 of my wifi dongles fail to connect [05:27] They certainly work with kernel 2.6.32.x [05:27] 2.6. :o [05:28] But they don't work in Lubuntu raring. [05:28] the drivers are certainly there. I checked with lsmod [05:29] rt2500usb and rt2x00usb [05:29] I'm thinking there's a fault somewhere with udev [05:31] maybe i need to make a new udev rule or something? [05:33] I had a similar problem recently with my USB scanner not working. Know how i fixed it? [05:34] I added a new rule to: /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules [05:34] Now the scanner is detected and works fine. [05:34] You think my USB WiFi may have a similar solution? [05:46] I may have to downgrade my lubuntu/ubuntu version.. Never mind. Bye [08:35] which version should i get? [08:55] tux_: Of what? [09:00] lubuntu [09:22] why does Debian-LXDE use half the memory than lubuntu? [09:24] i was shocked it only used around 50MB on boot, it is almost close to Slitaz which uses less than 30MB on boot, both distros use LXDE [09:24] why does lubuntu seem bloated in comparison? [10:20] Lubuntu 13.04 is bugged to the max. Won't apt-get update security. GPG key errors [10:20] I'm using the default installation to apt-get update and the repos are broken..damnit [10:21] Should i erase the entire sources.list file and change repos? [10:25] GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com raring-security Release The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG [10:25] Encountered a section with no package: header [10:26] Does everyone else get this problem or did I do something wrong? [10:26] I should mention I installed using the alternate .iso [10:28] lubuntu-13.04-alternate-i386.iso [10:29] Also the kernel wifi driver set hardware encyrption ON by default causing my wifi to crash...Hardware encyption should be off [10:30] and iwconfig has to power off the wifi unit first before it works: iwconfig wlan0 power off [10:31] A new release, a new pile of bugs.... [11:02] ok i fixed it partially and can apt-get upgrade...hoping fore the best.. [11:03] i might have had a corrupt installation either from CD or lost/corrupt packets from Wifi [11:03] moving on.. [11:28] mark this as problem solved :- ) [11:31] bye [12:30] hi, just tried to install lubuntu 13.04 i368 desktop on an old omnibook x3, installer behaves completely strange. not like it should = not like its covered on the help page. i'll try for the alternate installer now which would have been the better option anyway. now there is the same problem i always end up - dead outdated links on the help pages, or outdated infos [12:31] anyone out there who can link me to the official alternate install iso? [12:31] would be highly appreciated [12:31] I'd check the md5sum and burn. [12:31] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/13.04/release/ [12:32] great - thax a heap! [12:32] +n [13:08] hi. how do i turn on/off system sounds? like alert/beeps etc [13:09] i do have iNet/EnableEventSounds=1 iNet/EnableInputFeedbackSounds=1 [14:45] how do i add a program to start up? [14:47] autostart file [14:50] ok thanks [16:47] okay I have totally botched something and I cannot figure it out. I am on a laptop, macbook pro. I installed lm-sensors and something called TLP. I purged macfanctld because I got tired of pegging the fans at max all the time. Something is not right....fans run all the time and doesn't seem to drop temp below....OUCH! on legs. Help? [18:08] got it...thanks [19:58] /part === IdleOne is now known as io [22:45] hey, does someone know how i theme lightdm-gtk? (theres a conf file where i need to specify a gtk-theme but i dont know where to put the theme) [22:46] /usr/share/themes/ [23:13] There should be way more chatters here since lubuntu is the most aweseme OS ;-) [23:13] except for a wee problem: [23:14] sudoers is not accepting this command: user1 ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/shutdown -h now [23:15] I want to allow "shutdown" to be run as root (or sudo without having to provide a password). [23:26] I'd assume lxsession-logout doesn't count. [23:28] Unit193..i deleted lxde/openbox/lightdm and using icewm [23:28] that's why i need a custom shutdown script or sudoers permission to root shutdown [23:29] but sudoers refuses to make "shutdown" execute as admin [23:29] And if you drop " -h now"? [23:29] unit193 ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hddtemp [23:30] Did you happen to read /etc/sudoers.d/README ? [23:37] ok i'll give that a try
