[12:15] hello you speak french ? [13:13] 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] sirr: try to add to .desktop file RunInTerminal=True or something like that [13:16] IQman: ok thanks, I'll try that [13:18] sirr: more precisely add "Terminal=True" [13:18] IQman: thanks :) [15:53] hello, please what this represents [15:53] thermal_zone0 [15:53] thermal_zone1 [15:53] and thermal_zone2 [15:53] ? [16:01] Hyuristyle: you might find acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/thermal.html instructive [16:02] thanks [16:03] but acpi is not installed here, it still applies? [16:05] it's one of those better safe than sorry sort of things Hyuristyle [16:06] but besides, you probably have acpi installed (in the kernel) [16:07] ok, thanks [17:04] Hi there [17:07] hello [17:14] Hello again [17:44] good morning/afternoon [17:45] hi [17:46] Question: does lubuntu 13.10 provide as good of an experience with older/slower hardware that 12.04 does? [17:46] or should I just use 12.04 [17:47] I haven't noticed a big difference between 13 and 12 [17:47] how old are you talking [17:48] Oh sorry, I'm running 13.04, you asked about .10 [17:48] wanting to install on a mini-itx mainboard, 1.5ghz 1gb ram, 1tb disk C7 processor [17:48] no matter 13.04 is ok [17:48] c7? [17:49] the C7 is like 2005 vintage [17:49] ah [17:49] I ran 12.04 on a p4 3Ghz 1GB RAM 120GB IDE and it was very quick [17:49] Via made the chip and the mainboard, low power 20 watts power consumption [17:49] 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] Because I believe 12 was the last release to support PAE [17:50] My laptop is about to die and I am leaving this lecture hall,so I will be abck in a few minutes. [17:50] PAE was an issue witf an old hp/compaq laptop I installed on [17:54] the 1tb disk was free so I thought I'd just build a lightweight server running Apache [17:54] lubuntu seems to be favored for older/slower hardware [17:57] gotta run, tnks for the input [18:04] Hi, are you still here? [18:15] we were discussing PAE IIRC [18:38] guys [18:38] 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 === padrino is now known as paddyboi === paddyboi is now known as padrino [18:50] 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] Ah :( [18:51] I'm so confused [18:51] with what? [18:52] Well my internal HDD is practically fucked [18:52] 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] is it an old ide drive? [18:52] I have a comp where I can keep it alive through an external [18:52] Have you run any disk checks [18:53] 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] ianorlin yeah very old, think that's why it's failing [18:54] I think the only option might be "try without installing" therefore just running it from the USB (not internal HDD required) [18:54] that doesn't work for the alt installer though [18:55] if you are using that [18:56] Wouldn't just "try without install" suffice for browsing the web [18:56] Is that what you want to do [18:56] Because I really don't think my HDD will be able to handle the lubuntu install [18:56] deleted_ I think that's all I need it for? [18:57] 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] or bad usb installer [18:58] did you run a self check on it? [18:58] inaorlin on the USB or Laptop? [18:58] usb [18:58] Nope [18:58] did you check md5sum? [18:58] Nope :( [18:59] I only put the USB in, did the Lubuntu disk check, only found 1 error. The proceeded to install Lubuntu [19:00] Shall I attempt to quit the installer and just boot without installing? [19:00] Well if you just need to browse the net I would imagine a live CD would suffice [19:00] I tihnk you should attempt to run the check where it says test disk for defects [19:01] inarlin that's what I did [19:01] And it came back with "found 1 error in a file" [19:01] it found an error is not good [19:01] And that was it [19:01] I thought 1 error was minor [19:02] it is still enough to break stuff [19:02] Ah ffs :( I'll just wait for it to install and then reboot from USB without installation [19:06] I assume it's not safe to just cut power to laptop whilst Lubuntu is installing [19:06] ? [19:06] And turn it off by holding down power [19:09] is going anywhere? [19:09] I'll take a photo [19:10] I appreciate the help btw [19:11] It's been on this for about 15 min now: http://imgur.com/HSUSAnP [19:24] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2074949 found this of a similar problem [19:25] I wonder does control alt f1 do anything? [21:05] 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] 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] what happens if you do sudo shutdown halt ? [23:23] that should shut down, if not its probably a power management issue [23:30] it also reboots [23:30] hmm [23:30] what version of lubuntu are you using [23:30] I used "sudo shutdown -P now" and "sudo shutdown -H now" both the same [23:31] Lubuntu 12.04 [23:31] ok [23:31] i have come across this before but that was years ago, [23:31] have you tried googling [23:32] 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] ok [23:32] does that work [23:33] nope [23:33] this is the LTS right [23:34] so far everything I found via google does not make a difference [23:34] lsb_release -a [23:34] does that tell you if your using 12.04 or 12.04.x where the .x is the update number or something [23:35] it states under description Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS [23:35] ok [23:36] i wonder what we are up to, when was the last time you updated [23:36] Private_User, just asked for some help so someone may come in and help us with this [23:37] ok thanks, much appreciated [23:37] np [23:39] hi mozybonz [23:41] aye [23:42] Can you help Private_User with the shutdown issue, [23:42] lubuntu 12.04.3 [23:44] ok i got 2 go, good luck with trying to fix this,
