| max76 | hello you speak french ? | 12:15 |
|---|---|---|
| sirr | I have managed to create .desktop shortcuts that I can launch applications with.. however, I can't launch applications properly from a bash.sh script.. normally done like /path/my_program & It's like I can't detach the terminal in lubuntu :/ | 13:13 |
| IQman | sirr: try to add to .desktop file RunInTerminal=True or something like that | 13:14 |
| sirr | IQman: ok thanks, I'll try that | 13:16 |
| IQman | sirr: more precisely add "Terminal=True" | 13:18 |
| sirr | IQman: thanks :) | 13:18 |
| Hyuristyle | hello, please what this represents | 15:53 |
| Hyuristyle | thermal_zone0 | 15:53 |
| Hyuristyle | thermal_zone1 | 15:53 |
| Hyuristyle | and thermal_zone2 | 15:53 |
| Hyuristyle | ? | 15:53 |
| wxl | Hyuristyle: you might find acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/thermal.html instructive | 16:01 |
| Hyuristyle | thanks | 16:02 |
| Hyuristyle | but acpi is not installed here, it still applies? | 16:03 |
| wxl | it's one of those better safe than sorry sort of things Hyuristyle | 16:05 |
| wxl | but besides, you probably have acpi installed (in the kernel) | 16:06 |
| Hyuristyle | ok, thanks | 16:07 |
| deleted_ | Hi there | 17:04 |
| Hyuristyle | hello | 17:07 |
| deleted_ | Hello again | 17:14 |
| Spaceman255 | good morning/afternoon | 17:44 |
| deleted_ | hi | 17:45 |
| Spaceman255 | Question: does lubuntu 13.10 provide as good of an experience with older/slower hardware that 12.04 does? | 17:46 |
| Spaceman255 | or should I just use 12.04 | 17:46 |
| deleted_ | I haven't noticed a big difference between 13 and 12 | 17:47 |
| deleted_ | how old are you talking | 17:47 |
| deleted_ | Oh sorry, I'm running 13.04, you asked about .10 | 17:48 |
| Spaceman255 | wanting to install on a mini-itx mainboard, 1.5ghz 1gb ram, 1tb disk C7 processor | 17:48 |
| Spaceman255 | no matter 13.04 is ok | 17:48 |
| deleted_ | c7? | 17:48 |
| Spaceman255 | the C7 is like 2005 vintage | 17:49 |
| deleted_ | ah | 17:49 |
| deleted_ | I ran 12.04 on a p4 3Ghz 1GB RAM 120GB IDE and it was very quick | 17:49 |
| Spaceman255 | Via made the chip and the mainboard, low power 20 watts power consumption | 17:49 |
| deleted_ | and I haven't noticed issues in speed between 13/12, only some issues with PAE that you may need to look into depending on your specific processor | 17:49 |
| deleted_ | Because I believe 12 was the last release to support PAE | 17:50 |
| deleted_ | My laptop is about to die and I am leaving this lecture hall,so I will be abck in a few minutes. | 17:50 |
| Spaceman255 | PAE was an issue witf an old hp/compaq laptop I installed on | 17:50 |
| Spaceman255 | the 1tb disk was free so I thought I'd just build a lightweight server running Apache | 17:54 |
| Spaceman255 | lubuntu seems to be favored for older/slower hardware | 17:54 |
| Spaceman255 | gotta run, tnks for the input | 17:57 |
| deleted_ | Hi, are you still here? | 18:04 |
| deleted_ | we were discussing PAE IIRC | 18:15 |
| padrino | guys | 18:38 |
| padrino | you know when I boot Lubuntu from USB and it says 'install', is that installing to my HDD or thumb drive? Because my internal HDD is flopped and practically doesn't work at all | 18:38 |
| === padrino is now known as paddyboi | ||
| === paddyboi is now known as padrino | ||
| ianorlin | Hard drive unless you chose to install it on the thumb drive for some reason but not usre meant to read and wirte all the time | 18:50 |
| padrino | Ah :( | 18:50 |
| padrino | I'm so confused | 18:51 |
| ianorlin | with what? | 18:51 |
| padrino | Well my internal HDD is practically fucked | 18:52 |
| padrino | Can't even boot Windows, so I booted Tails OS from USB and worked fine, but now I just booted lubuntu and I clicked install and I think the install to HDD will cause it to flop | 18:52 |
| ianorlin | is it an old ide drive? | 18:52 |
| ianorlin | I have a comp where I can keep it alive through an external | 18:52 |
| deleted_ | Have you run any disk checks | 18:52 |
| padrino | deleted_ yeah ran one that it gave the option of when I booted up lubuntu for first time and all it said was "1 error found in a file" | 18:53 |
| padrino | ianorlin yeah very old, think that's why it's failing | 18:53 |
| padrino | I think the only option might be "try without installing" therefore just running it from the USB (not internal HDD required) | 18:54 |
| ianorlin | that doesn't work for the alt installer though | 18:54 |
| ianorlin | if you are using that | 18:55 |
| padrino | Wouldn't just "try without install" suffice for browsing the web | 18:56 |
| deleted_ | Is that what you want to do | 18:56 |
| padrino | Because I really don't think my HDD will be able to handle the lubuntu install | 18:56 |
| padrino | deleted_ I think that's all I need it for? | 18:56 |
| padrino | It's been on the "prepare to install Lubuntu" screen for about 10 minutes now. Either that's normal or HDD completely flopping | 18:57 |
| ianorlin | or bad usb installer | 18:58 |
| ianorlin | did you run a self check on it? | 18:58 |
| padrino | inaorlin on the USB or Laptop? | 18:58 |
| ianorlin | usb | 18:58 |
| padrino | Nope | 18:58 |
| ianorlin | did you check md5sum? | 18:58 |
| padrino | Nope :( | 18:58 |
| padrino | I only put the USB in, did the Lubuntu disk check, only found 1 error. The proceeded to install Lubuntu | 18:59 |
| padrino | Shall I attempt to quit the installer and just boot without installing? | 19:00 |
| deleted_ | Well if you just need to browse the net I would imagine a live CD would suffice | 19:00 |
| ianorlin | I tihnk you should attempt to run the check where it says test disk for defects | 19:00 |
| padrino | inarlin that's what I did | 19:01 |
| padrino | And it came back with "found 1 error in a file" | 19:01 |
| ianorlin | it found an error is not good | 19:01 |
| padrino | And that was it | 19:01 |
| padrino | I thought 1 error was minor | 19:01 |
| ianorlin | it is still enough to break stuff | 19:02 |
| padrino | Ah ffs :( I'll just wait for it to install and then reboot from USB without installation | 19:02 |
| padrino | I assume it's not safe to just cut power to laptop whilst Lubuntu is installing | 19:06 |
| padrino | ? | 19:06 |
| padrino | And turn it off by holding down power | 19:06 |
| ianorlin | is going anywhere? | 19:09 |
| padrino | I'll take a photo | 19:09 |
| padrino | I appreciate the help btw | 19:10 |
| padrino | It's been on this for about 15 min now: http://imgur.com/HSUSAnP | 19:11 |
| ianorlin | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2074949 found this of a similar problem | 19:24 |
| ianorlin | I wonder does control alt f1 do anything? | 19:25 |
| sirr | A tricky one.. can anyone think of a way to detect and launch a script if the desktop resolution is changed.. it's running under VMware with VMware tools. Have created a script that corrects the desktop layout with conky and all that.. but it has to be triggered manually. | 21:05 |
| Private_User | hi all, any reason why Lubuntu would not shut down when I try to shutdown via GUI. When I select shutdown it restarts the machine | 23:08 |
| zleap | what happens if you do sudo shutdown halt ? | 23:23 |
| zleap | that should shut down, if not its probably a power management issue | 23:23 |
| Private_User | it also reboots | 23:30 |
| zleap | hmm | 23:30 |
| zleap | what version of lubuntu are you using | 23:30 |
| Private_User | I used "sudo shutdown -P now" and "sudo shutdown -H now" both the same | 23:30 |
| Private_User | Lubuntu 12.04 | 23:31 |
| zleap | ok | 23:31 |
| zleap | i have come across this before but that was years ago, | 23:31 |
| zleap | have you tried googling | 23:31 |
| Private_User | I have also found this solution which I tried but still nothing http://netgator.blogspot.com/2012/07/ubuntu-lubuntu-1204-shutdown-doesnt.html | 23:32 |
| zleap | ok | 23:32 |
| zleap | does that work | 23:32 |
| Private_User | nope | 23:33 |
| zleap | this is the LTS right | 23:33 |
| Private_User | so far everything I found via google does not make a difference | 23:34 |
| zleap | lsb_release -a | 23:34 |
| zleap | does that tell you if your using 12.04 or 12.04.x where the .x is the update number or something | 23:34 |
| Private_User | it states under description Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS | 23:35 |
| zleap | ok | 23:35 |
| zleap | i wonder what we are up to, when was the last time you updated | 23:36 |
| zleap | Private_User, just asked for some help so someone may come in and help us with this | 23:36 |
| Private_User | ok thanks, much appreciated | 23:37 |
| zleap | np | 23:37 |
| zleap | hi mozybonz | 23:39 |
| mozybonz | aye | 23:41 |
| zleap | Can you help Private_User with the shutdown issue, | 23:42 |
| zleap | lubuntu 12.04.3 | 23:42 |
| zleap | ok i got 2 go, good luck with trying to fix this, | 23:44 |
