[12:15] <max76> hello you speak french ?
[13:13] <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 :/
[13:14] <IQman> sirr: try to add to .desktop file RunInTerminal=True or something like that
[13:16] <sirr> IQman: ok thanks, I'll try that
[13:18] <IQman> sirr: more precisely add "Terminal=True"
[13:18] <sirr> IQman: thanks :)
[15:53] <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> ?
[16:01] <wxl> Hyuristyle: you might find acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/thermal.html instructive
[16:02] <Hyuristyle> thanks
[16:03] <Hyuristyle> but acpi is not installed here, it still applies?
[16:05] <wxl> it's one of those better safe than sorry sort of things Hyuristyle
[16:06] <wxl> but besides, you probably have acpi installed (in the kernel)
[16:07] <Hyuristyle> ok, thanks
[17:04] <deleted_> Hi there
[17:07] <Hyuristyle> hello
[17:14] <deleted_> Hello again
[17:44] <Spaceman255> good morning/afternoon
[17:45] <deleted_> hi
[17:46] <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
[17:47] <deleted_> I haven't noticed a big difference between 13 and 12
[17:47] <deleted_> how old are you talking
[17:48] <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?
[17:49] <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
[17:50] <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
[17:54] <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
[17:57] <Spaceman255> gotta run, tnks for the input
[18:04] <deleted_> Hi, are you still here?
[18:15] <deleted_> we were discussing PAE IIRC
[18:38] <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
[18:50] <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 :(
[18:51] <padrino> I'm so confused
[18:51] <ianorlin> with what?
[18:52] <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
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <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
[18:55] <ianorlin> if you are using that
[18:56] <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?
[18:57] <padrino> It's been on the "prepare to install Lubuntu" screen for about 10 minutes now. Either that's normal or HDD completely flopping
[18:58] <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 :(
[18:59] <padrino> I only put the USB in, did the Lubuntu disk check, only found 1 error. The proceeded to install Lubuntu
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <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
[19:06] <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
[19:09] <ianorlin> is going anywhere?
[19:09] <padrino> I'll take a photo
[19:10] <padrino> I appreciate the help btw
[19:11] <padrino> It's been on this for about 15 min now: http://imgur.com/HSUSAnP
[19:24] <ianorlin> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2074949 found this of a similar problem
[19:25] <ianorlin> I wonder does control alt f1 do anything?
[21:05] <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.
[23:08] <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
[23:23] <zleap> what happens if you do sudo shutdown halt ?
[23:23] <zleap> that should shut down, if not its probably a power management issue
[23:30] <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
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <Private_User> nope
[23:33] <zleap> this is the LTS right
[23:34] <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
[23:35] <Private_User> it states under description Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
[23:35] <zleap> ok
[23:36] <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
[23:37] <Private_User> ok thanks, much appreciated
[23:37] <zleap> np
[23:39] <zleap> hi mozybonz
[23:41] <mozybonz> aye
[23:42] <zleap> Can you help Private_User with the shutdown issue,
[23:42] <zleap> lubuntu 12.04.3
[23:44] <zleap> ok i got 2 go,  good luck with trying to fix this,
