| robford1 | Hi all, quick question. I love Lubuntu but want a few more desktop effects. Would you reccomend Compiz, Kwin or Gala?? got a fairly decent PC with nvidia graphics card. | 16:27 |
| genii | The only one of the three which you could use and still keep the Lubuntu desktop pretty much as-is would be Compiz | 16:31 |
| holstein | and, i find, compiz upstream is catered, or was catering to unity | 16:42 |
| holstein | oh.. gone anyways.. | 16:42 |
| leszek | hi | 17:02 |
| ibere_SP | robford1, I've just posted some videos at Lubuntu Facebook group showing some Lubuntu with eyecandy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1856701 | 17:07 |

| Deugsy | Hello | 17:40 |
| Flazer | howdy | 17:40 |
| Deugsy | Could you help me about the compilation of Lubuntu kernel 3.11.0 ? | 17:40 |
| Deugsy | Please | 17:40 |
| Deugsy | don't be afraid it's a simple question | 17:41 |
| Flazer | I don't have the experience to help with that, hopefully someone else chimes in | 17:41 |
| Deugsy | ok | 17:41 |
| Flazer | I've never compiled anything | 17:41 |
| Deugsy | too bad | 17:41 |
| holstein | Deugsy: why are you compiling a kernel? | 17:41 |
| Deugsy | I want to hard compile nvidiafb driver for framebuffer | 17:42 |
| Deugsy | i already did it on another kernel | 17:42 |
| holstein | Deugsy: you should be able to just go get whatever kernel you want and use it.. if you "already did it", then just use that kernel | 17:42 |
| Deugsy | Do you know if it is possible to start again the compilation after an error just when it stopped ? | 17:45 |
| Deugsy | to avoid to recompile all it was done | 17:46 |
| holstein | Deugsy: you shouldnt need to compile, or recompile.. if you have a kernel that you have already done, you can use it | 17:46 |
| Deugsy | I compiled kernel 2.6?? and it was okay, i understand | 17:47 |
| Deugsy | thanks | 17:48 |
| FuqUmist | how do you increase and decrease the brightness of the monitor | 20:03 |
| leszek | FuqUmist: if you have xfce4-powermanager running the notebook/laptops fn-keys should work | 20:17 |
| FuqUmist | leszek yeah those keys work, but it is still too bright | 20:20 |
| holstein | FuqUmist: are you sure thats all there is to it? thats the way to adjust.. i have occasonally passed kernel arguments to help brighten the screen a bit | 20:25 |
| FuqUmist | also, does anyone experience file manager crashes sometimes when not clicking fast enough on the file? | 20:38 |
| holstein | FuqUmist: nooo | 20:38 |
| holstein | no* | 20:38 |
| holstein | the speed of clicking never has anything to do with anything in any filemanager for me | 20:38 |
| wxl | maybe you should try clicking REALLY slow, holstein | 20:41 |
| leszek | FuqUmist: so on the lowest brightness level it still too bright you think ? | 20:42 |
| FuqUmist | yeah | 20:42 |
| leszek | FuqUmist: can you set the brightness when in bios ? Maybe if you set this to lowest there it might stick until lubuntu is booted | 20:43 |
| leszek | If this does not work then I guess there might be a driver issue with the kernels driver. It is possible as the driver covers usually different panels that there is no specific driver for your particulary panel so it uses safe settings which tend to work for every | 20:44 |
| leszek | You could try experimenting with xgamma to try set the gamma lower. This will lead to a darker overall image but won't change the lcd brightness in terms of power usage | 20:45 |
| leszek | Try for example xgamma -gamma 0.8 (type in a terminal and hit enter) | 20:46 |
| * holstein agrees with looking into the driver | 20:52 | |
| xstefen | Hi, running Lubuntu 13.10 x64, I cannot get 'ping' to resolve Windows NetBIOS names, at all.. | 22:48 |
| holstein | xstefen: does anything on your network? | 22:49 |
| holstein | does ping work to the IP address? | 22:49 |
| xstefen | yes, pinging to IP works | 22:50 |
| xstefen | just not hostname/netbios name | 22:50 |
| holstein | what do you need to do? | 22:50 |
| xstefen | ive installed winbind and edited nsswitch.conf and smb.conf | 22:50 |
| xstefen | its worked on every ubuntu like setup ive done before, until trying this. I would like to for instance, "ping kelly-pc" to get IP address or if they're offline etc | 22:51 |
| xstefen | on our local network | 22:51 |
| Unit193 | Did you try kelly-pc.local ? | 22:51 |
| xstefen | also unknown host | 22:52 |
| holstein | xstefen: i do that with a local name server | 22:52 |
| xstefen | Right, but theres ~75 PCs here, and I havent had this issue in the past | 22:52 |
| holstein | this is the only machine on the network that cant ping to host names? | 22:53 |
| xstefen | Yes, since i installed Lubuntu 13.10 | 22:53 |
| xstefen | On my Xubuntu 13.04 partition it works fine, same with my mint and ubuntu setups | 22:53 |
| xstefen | All machines except for mine and the servers are Windows | 22:53 |
| Unit193 | Great, now I wonder what I installed to get that... | 22:53 |
| xstefen | I'm seriously stumped, I've done anything and everything I could find/think of/have done before | 22:54 |
| xstefen | and it just wont work | 22:54 |
| holstein | xstefen: all dynamic ip's? | 22:55 |
| Unit193 | You did restart the service I'd presume? | 22:55 |
| xstefen | I have restarted services and rebooted as well | 22:56 |
| xstefen | All machines on network are either Static or DHCP | 22:56 |
| holstein | xstefen: and this on in particular? is it static? | 22:57 |
| xstefen | I'm currently DHCP | 22:57 |
| holstein | xstefen: you cant ping *any* of them? | 22:57 |
| xstefen | Nope, unknown host | 22:57 |
| xstefen | What's funny is, if i open pacman and smb://namegoeshere, that works fine | 22:58 |
| Unit193 | dpkg -S /usr/sbin/nmbd /usr/bin/nmblookup.samba3 | 22:58 |
| Unit193 | samba: /usr/sbin/nmbd | 22:58 |
| Unit193 | samba-common-bin: /usr/bin/nmblookup.samba3 | 22:58 |
| xstefen | I have same return on that | 22:58 |
| Unit193 | nmblookup kelly-pc gives you what? | 22:59 |
| xstefen | stefen@itnix-lubuntu:~$ nmblookup kelly-pc | 22:59 |
| xstefen | querying kelly-pc on 192.168.255.255 | 22:59 |
| xstefen | 192.168.5.26 kelly-pc<00> | 22:59 |
| === Newk_ is now known as Newk | ||
| Unit193 | And you did say you put the right workgroup in smb.conf, welp. Can't say I know why it even works for me, I don't use the dang thing. | 23:02 |
| xstefen | Yeah I have wins support enabled and workgroup changed and ufw to allow netbios and wins added to hosts in nsswitch and everything lol | 23:03 |
| xstefen | This is sad, everything else in Lu 13.10 is beautiful and amazing, but this is a killer for me lol | 23:03 |
| xstefen | brb cig | 23:03 |
| Unit193 | I can confirm it does indeed work in 13.10, though not sure how. :D | 23:03 |
| xstefen | I wonder if something didn't install right for some reason | 23:08 |
| xstefen | First time I haven't been able to fix this | 23:08 |
| holstein | http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DHCP/x369.html maybe | 23:09 |
| Unit193 | apt-get purge && apt-get install :P | 23:09 |
| holstein | option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1; | 23:10 |
| xstefen | stefen@itnix-lubuntu:~$ ping foxserver2 | 23:10 |
| xstefen | ping: unknown host foxserver2 | 23:10 |
| xstefen | stefen@itnix-lubuntu:~$ ping fileserver | 23:10 |
| xstefen | ping: unknown host fileserver | 23:10 |
| xstefen | stefen@itnix-lubuntu:~$ ping linuxmysql | 23:10 |
| xstefen | ping: unknown host linuxmysql | 23:10 |
| xstefen | not even our *nix servers... | 23:10 |
| xstefen | i purged and reinstalled winbind | 23:10 |
| holstein | the one machine seems to not be getting names from a name server | 23:10 |
| Unit193 | xstefen: Well, that doesn't work on mine, but haven't tried to enable it. I need to prepend .local | 23:11 |
| xstefen | winbind and adding wins to hosts in nsswitch, IN THE PAST, will allow u to ping without .local | 23:11 |
| Unit193 | Ah, yeah. That does do it. | 23:13 |
| xstefen | holstein, /etc/dhcpd.conf doesnt exist on my machine, not sure where to check that option | 23:13 |
| xstefen | Unit193, :) | 23:13 |
| xstefen | from a windows machine, i can ping this one lol | 23:14 |
| holstein | xstefen: i would check by creating whatever is needed to reference a name server on your network, and ask for names | 23:14 |
| Unit193 | dhclient for me is requesting netbios-name-servers, | 23:15 |
| Unit193 | grep -ve ^# /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf | 23:15 |
| holstein | xstefen: can you check and see if your's is? | 23:15 |
| xstefen | using that command, it says that it is also | 23:16 |
| Unit193 | Then I'd also check the files under /var/lib/NetworkManager/ | 23:18 |
| xstefen | 3 lease files, a .conf, a NetworkManager.state, and timestamps | 23:34 |
| xstefen | conf and 3 lease files are for my eth0 | 23:34 |
| xstefen | brb testing something | 23:38 |
| Unit193 | holstein: You got any ideas? :P | 23:41 |
| holstein | im the kind of guy who loads up a live CD and tests.. | 23:42 |
| xstefen | no luck :\ | 23:45 |
| Unit193 | OK, I have no idea what to tell you (clearly), fresh out of ideas. | 23:45 |
| Unit193 | I think it's time to try #ubuntu | 23:45 |
| xstefen | Thanks for trying to man, really appreciate it | 23:47 |
| Unit193 | Sorry I'm of no use. :P | 23:47 |
| xstefen | Me too! :( | 23:48 |
