| Unit193 | !source | 01:20 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 01:20 |
| Unit193 | Might not be latest upstream, though. | 01:21 |
| qingluo | latest is not necessary, but it must be stable | 01:21 |
| qingluo | ubottu: thankyou | 01:23 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 01:23 |
| Impossible | !source | 02:28 |

| brades | Is there a non PAE installation version of Lubuntu 13.04 i386? I downloaded the 13.04 cd and booted to it to install on an older IBM thinkpad and it stated that I needed a PAE CPU. This was a surprise as I thought Lubuntu was supposed to be light and support older hardware, hence the reason I'm trying to use it to begin with. | 07:18 |
| brades | Ubuntu and its various flavors all seem to run just fine on PC's with 1 Gb of RAM, so why would there be a minimum requirement of PAE support? That just seems silly to me with the name Lubuntu, it implies light version for older hardware. PAE is new, not old technology in comparison. | 07:28 |
| qingluo | lol | 07:41 |
| bioterror | Core2Duo is old hardware | 07:42 |

| DANNN | can anybody help me? :D | 10:13 |
| DANNN | could be the problem related with this post? ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/311453/flash-plugin-not-working-properly-in-lubuntu-13-04 | 10:22 |
| john_rambo | I just installed lubuntu ......How do I install the nvidia non free driver? | 10:42 |

| kiwitinker | I have an older version of lubuntu install, i forget exactly which, the thing i don't understand is when i run update manager and it finds 128 updates if i install these updates does it update my version of lubuntu or does it just update within the version i first installed? | 11:49 |
| hateball | kiwitinker: just within the version | 11:52 |
| hateball | if there's a version upgrade, there is a special button for that | 11:52 |
| kiwitinker | thanks, i don't see any special button | 11:53 |
| kiwitinker | finally i can do the update without worrying that the version will change | 11:54 |
| kiwitinker | not that i doubt hateball but it would be sensible for me to get a 2nd opinion on this considering the major hassle it will be if it updates the version | 11:57 |
| hateball | knowing what version you actually have would be helpful | 11:58 |
| hateball | lsb_release -a | 11:58 |
| kiwitinker | 12.04 lts | 11:59 |
| kiwitinker | how sure are you hateball on the update question, assumption or you actually know? | 12:04 |
| kiwitinker | what version is lubuntu up to now? | 12:04 |
| hateball | By default LTS releases only offer version upgrades to new LTS releases | 12:07 |
| hateball | and 12.04 is the latest LTS release | 12:07 |
| hateball | but feel free to ask someone else | 12:07 |
| bioterror | lubuntu does not have lts | 12:07 |
| bioterror | lubuntu does not support LXDE components like LTS | 12:08 |
| bioterror | so I advice to use as much as possible the latest version to get the best working LXDE experience | 12:08 |
| kiwitinker | ok, some confusion here, when i used the version command it actually says ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, confusing that it does not say anything about lubuntu | 12:26 |
| kiwitinker | but it is definitely lubuntu that i have | 12:29 |
| kiwitinker | bioterror the latest version of lubuntu does not work on this computer, the latest one that does is 12.04 hence why it is important that i don't accidentally upgrade to a later version | 12:31 |
| kiwitinker | i should say release instead of version i think | 12:32 |

That just seems silly to me with the name Lubuntu, it implies light version for older hardware. PAE is new, not old technology in comparison. | 16:32 |
| bioterror | PAE is quite old technology | 16:35 |
| brades | That is my exact machine actually mentioned in that article. It is a Thinkpad T41 with a Intel M processor. Thanks for the info, hopefully that will help. | 16:35 |
| bioterror | I just threw T42 away, which did not have PAE | 16:36 |
| bioterror | it was also slow :D | 16:36 |
| bioterror | it had a slow Pentium-M | 16:37 |
| brades | Fast enough for basic use for kids browsing on the internet since Windows is so crappy and gets infected so easily! | 16:40 |
| wxl | i don't know what your kids are doing but every kid i see browsing the internet is typically playing some sort of flash-based game | 16:40 |
| bioterror | wxl, I assume they browse web with Lynx | 16:40 |
| wxl | sheesh you could at least give them w3m bioterror ;) | 16:41 |
| brades | Come on, basic google searches for innocent things can come up with malformed pages that do harm! I've done it just doing a search for a picture of a dragon. It doesn't take much these days. | 16:41 |
| bioterror | as much as I sit in front of a computer, I dont let my kids | 16:42 |
| brades | On Windows XP on old hardware it is easy to infect even with enterprise level virus tools! | 16:42 |

| Monday | hey brades try the Lubuntu fake-PAE iso | 17:06 |
| Monday | ianorlin maybe you should of tried to help him | 17:07 |
| ianorlin | yeah I think someone linked it | 18:18 |
| ianorlin | earlier then they said they threw it away | 18:18 |
| agrestringere | Hello, having an issue, the desktop background on Lubuntu has disappeared and isnt' working, what can I do? | 18:34 |
| ianorlin | did you log into lubuntu netbook? | 18:42 |
| agrestringere | no | 18:45 |
| Monday | agrestringere, right click on the background and go to preferences and setup your background once again | 19:14 |
| Monday | there is a bug on lubuntu when it comes to background and monitor setup, which they won't admit | 19:14 |
| Unit193 | What's the bug number? | 19:15 |
| Monday | i've used LXDE on Mint, Debian, Slitaz and Trisquel and the monitor and background problems only happen in lubuntu | 19:15 |
| Unit193 | Can you link to the LP report? | 19:16 |

| Guest51241 | Hi, guys, my computer is quite old, but I don't think my problem is that. I recently did a clean install of the new upcoming Lubuntu 13. Well, last night, I tried to turn it on, and it said I had "grub rescue>". I tried a boot repair disk which I downloaded, and came up two different times with two different numbers to write down on a piece of paper. That didn't fix it. I am now using a live xubuntu cd that I had awhile back. Even | 22:32 |
| Guest51241 | loading that took some time. I am not able to clean install. There must be something wrong with the grub of my latest Lubuntu. right? I've looked online about this and found a lot of things, but nothing simple for me. help | 22:32 |
| wxl | Guest51241: it gave no other errors? | 22:34 |
| Guest51241 | no | 22:34 |
| phillw | Guest51241: did the cd pass the self test? | 22:35 |
| Guest51241 | I'm sure it did, because I have used all the cd's I've downloaded successfully for sometime, including this one, Xubuntu. I have used a Lubuntu 12.04 and Lubuntu 13 for weeks even. The reason I changed to Lubuntu 13 is because I thought 12.04 wasn't going to be supported by next month. And no, I didn't do a self test of these burned cd's. I don't think I knew how to do that. | 22:37 |
| wxl | Guest51241: that's confusing. did the md5s pass or fail? | 22:38 |
| Guest51241 | ummm I didn't check for any passes or failers, except my cd burner said it was alright. Kinda computer NOT savy here. | 22:39 |
| phillw | Guest51241: when you boot with a cd / dvd /usb - one of the options is to test the install media. You really *must* do this. | 22:40 |
| Guest51241 | I did see something about those md5s. They are like tests for the isos, right? I don't know how to use those. So, how do you do that? | 22:40 |
| genii | !md5 | 22:41 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 22:41 |
| wxl | you can test the iso and then further confirm the cd/dvd/usb by testing it | 22:41 |
| wxl | md5sum is the command for the iso | 22:42 |
| tonyt | hope someone can help . just installed lubuntu . trying to install a driver and its telling me i need to do it as a super user . i only set 1 pass during the install and that password isnt working . anyone have any ideas ? | 22:42 |
| wxl | tonyt: so you have only one account? can you log in with it? | 22:42 |
| tonyt | ya only 1 and im logged into it | 22:43 |
| Guest51241 | thanks for the site info on the md5. I'll check it out. | 22:43 |
| tonyt | i opened the terminal and did su root and it asked for a password and it fails | 22:43 |
| tonyt | i thought the password i set during the install should be the admin pass | 22:44 |
| phillw | Guest51241: when you download an ISO, check it... when you burn the CD / DVD / USB you will see the option to self check. This is so, so important a step to do. | 22:44 |
| tonyt | is that correct ? | 22:44 |
| wxl | tonyt: there is no root | 22:44 |
| Unit193 | tonyt: You use `sudo`, so sudo make for example | 22:44 |
| Guest51241 | o.k. philw | 22:44 |
| wxl | !sudo | tony | 22:45 |
| ubottu | tony: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:45 |
| wxl | oops :/ | 22:45 |
| wxl | wrong one | 22:45 |
| wxl | !root | tonyt | 22:45 |
| ubottu | tonyt: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:45 |
| tonyt | i tried sudo too | 22:45 |
| tonyt | k ill read | 22:45 |
| phillw | tonyt: there is no default login and password on install. you are asked that during the install process for the admin user and asked your admin password. If this does not happen, your ISO you are trying to install off from is corrupt. | 22:46 |
| tonyt | k got it | 22:46 |
| tonyt | thanks | 22:46 |
| wxl | tonyt: so if you do sudo something and it asks for the password, what do you get back? | 22:46 |
| tonyt | i got it work . i did sudo sh ./amd.run | 22:47 |
| tonyt | just the vid driver | 22:47 |
| wxl | congratulations | 22:47 |
| tonyt | thanks | 22:47 |
