Tlan5how do i get my FN keys to work in ubuntu01:55
Tlan5also i have no sound01:55
Tlan5any ideas01:55
Tlan5hello01:58
nanneshi Tlan502:03
nannesAbout the sound, you should check all the volumes from terminal, with the command   alsamixer02:04
Tlan5i found a setting in the control panel02:05
Tlan5under keyboard and input02:05
Tlan5there is a check box says use system layout02:05
Tlan5i check it02:05
Tlan5and then my fn keys work except for sound02:05
Tlan5it seems soudn is not installed??02:05
nannesAs for Fn keys, You can keep that option enabled, and just add manually to the keymap the KeyCode correspondant to the volume special keys02:06
Tlan5i think the volume keys don't work because i have no sound installed02:06
uBUXUBuhi02:07
Tlan5i have no volume controls or anything02:07
Tlan5but some of my fn keys work02:07
Tlan5like brightness02:07
nannesTlan5: Seriously? Why you don't have sound installed?02:07
Tlan5i don;t know02:07
Tlan5i think its a bug or something with the install02:08
nanneswell, check that... sudo apt-get install pulseaudio02:08
Tlan5ok02:08
Tlan5i did a secure erase on my ssd and iam in the process right now if reinstalling lubunt 13.1002:09
nannesTlan5: Is your sound card integrated in the motherboard or separate?02:09
Tlan5so iwill try that command when i am b ack in02:09
nannesok!02:09
Tlan5its intergrated running a acer v5 122p-0643 laptop02:09
nanneshi uBUXUBu02:09
Tlan5hey anyways can i get your thoughts on something?02:09
uBUXUBuhi nannes02:09
Tlan5lubuntu 13.10 seems way better than xubuntu02:10
Tlan5like as far as 13.10 goes it seems like lubuntu had more stuff done02:10
Tlan5and xubuntu has not changed02:10
tonokipwhat is the default password for the livecd?02:10
nannesTlan5: Anyway, this page could be very helpful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting02:10
uBUXUBuim running buntu on a intel dual core with 2 gigs of ram and a dedicated 5570 card wow its nice02:10
nannesYes, I'm a very big fan of lubuntu02:11
nannesI appreciate xfce too02:11
Tlan5also xfce seems more like mac os02:11
Tlan5and lubuntu is like xp02:11
Tlan5do you guys like thunderbird over the stock email app in lubuntu ?02:11
nanneslike xp? not at all :/02:11
Tlan5no i mean the ui02:11
nannesTlan5: Yessss thunderbird 4ever02:11
Tlan5like the taskbar alot of people compare it to older xp02:12
nannessomebody likes sylpheed, but I miss tb too much02:12
Tlan5i like the minimalistic theme of lubuntu over xubuntu02:12
Tlan5i have one more problem maybe you can help me02:13
nannesI can try02:13
Tlan5when i hit ctrl+alt+f102:13
Tlan5i get garbled graphics02:13
Tlan5i can't see the command line02:13
Tlan5any idea why02:13
nanneswhat does "garbled" mean? I'm not a native speaker lol02:13
Tlan5like its all messed up02:14
Tlan5the screen02:14
nannesoh02:14
Tlan5no text appears02:14
Tlan5i have to hit alt+ctrl+f7 to get back to desktop gui02:14
Tlan5i can't install the proppritary amd drivers i need for this A6 apu02:14
Tlan5to work correctly02:14
Tlan5i want to install steam02:15
nannesmmmmmh02:15
nannesDoes Safe Mode make it behave correctly?02:15
Tlan5how do i get into safe mode02:16
Tlan5iam running uefi bios02:16
nannesfrom grub, you have the choice menu02:16
Tlan5i don't see grub i just get a lubuntu logo02:16
Tlan5i have a ssd so it moves really fast02:16
nannesTlan5: Curiosity: Have you installed a clean *buntu, or did you use wubi to install it into windows?02:17
Tlan5nope02:17
Tlan5i did a secure erase of my ssd02:17
Tlan5used GPT02:17
Tlan5and then created a live usb using unetbootin02:17
nannesfor the grub screen to appear you have to hold shift during boot... and maybe pressing ESCAPE sometimes would help too02:17
Tlan5i tried holding down shift02:18
Tlan5nothing happens02:18
nannestry with escape too :P02:18
Tlan5shift+esc02:18
Tlan5or just esc02:18
Tlan5will this allow me install the drivers?02:18
Tlan5can i use the wget command02:18
Tlan5download the drivers then unzip and install ???02:19
uBUXUBudid u install lubuntu while the cat5 was connected?02:19
Tlan5i don't have ethernet jsut wifi02:19
uBUXUBuah ha02:19
Tlan5iam installing right now again02:19
Tlan5but this time iamd downloading updates and the third party thing02:19
Tlan5i checked both boxes02:20
nannesshift + esc02:20
uBUXUBuif u install while connected to cat5 it might make it better02:20
Tlan5so i guess its downloading the latest kernel02:20
Tlan5right now02:20
Tlan5i can't i don't have ethernet port on this laptop02:20
uBUXUBubut can u arrange to do so?02:20
uBUXUBuomg no enet prt02:20
Tlan5are you talking about a net install ?02:21
Tlan5yea02:21
nannesanyway, I think setting the "GRUB_GFXMODE" in /etc/default/grub  exactly the same resolution as you have on your graphical session, would help02:21
uBUXUBuok nvm then02:21
Tlan5i would have to get the mini dp to ethernet adapter02:21
uBUXUBuive had issue sometime when doing wifi installs02:21
Tlan5which i don't have02:21
Tlan5iam installing off a usb stick02:21
uBUXUBufor some reason, and maybe its just me...but when i do my clean install hooked up hard wired...i et all the drivers easier..i noticed this on both buntu and even windows02:22
Tlan5yea02:22
Tlan5i know what you mean02:22
Tlan5but i have a new  DD-wrt router i just bought02:23
nannesTlan5: Have a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185066702:23
Tlan5iam connected to G 2.4ghz02:23
uBUXUBuits not the speed02:23
Tlan5what is wubi ?02:23
uBUXUBuits a file that makes windows think its a partition02:24
nannesIt's a program that makes ubuntu work from into windows02:24
uBUXUBuit had buntu in it and it looks and boots like a real partition (dual booter)02:24
nannesvery helpful for those who cannot change their partition table02:24
nannesbut very problematic sometimes02:24
uBUXUBuit doesnt last very long02:25
nannesit's a *ubuntu install INTO windows02:25
uBUXUBuits kinda nice because if you want to uninstall it it...it uninstalls easy and totally registry and all....and the natural partitions remain untouched02:25
Tlan5restart nautilus ?02:26
Tlan5that is the fix02:26
Tlan5i didn't know lubuntu had nautilus02:26
Unit193It doesn't.02:30
nannesTlan5: No, lol, read it at the bottom02:30
Tlan5oh02:30
nannesGRUB_GFXMODE and also, in page 2, grub loaded drivers for graphic02:31
Tlan5just tell me the commands02:37
Tlan5so i can paste them02:37
nanneslol02:37
nannessudo leafpad /etc/default/grub02:37
nannesremove the # before GRUB_GFXMODE02:37
nannesand set it to your screen's resolution, the same you use within your DE02:38
nannesThen you --> cat /boot/grub/video.lst02:38
nannesand see if there are missing modules02:38
nannesof course you have to update grub after this modification02:40
nannesthe command is   sudo update-grub2   if I'm not wrong02:40
Tlan5what is ibus02:47
nanneshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Input_Bus02:50
Tlan5i typed in cat /boot/grub/video.lst and nothing happened03:29
Tlan5hey so  edited the grub03:30
Tlan5but now instead of graphic coruption i get a black screen03:30
Tlan5any ideas03:30
Tlan5hello03:34
Tlan5hey you there?03:36

robscoHello all08:02
robscoI'm running Lubuntu 13.10 using the shipped pcmanfm and lxterminal and I have an issue opening a terminal from pcmanfm using the "f4" shortcut08:03
robscoit seems to not work when there is a space in the folder name08:04
robscoso for example if hit "f4" when in the folder: /home/rob/test folder lxterminal wont open08:05
robscoIt has been my one gripe with Lubuntu for a while now and I'm hoping there is a simple solution.08:06
robscoApart from this I've had a great experience using Lubuntu, been at it since 12.0408:07
xyzwhateverdamn suddenly pcmanfm doesnt start anymore, whether i click on the icon or type it in the console... no error message whatsoever11:02
tonokipanyone know how i can recover from a bad xorf.conf file12:07
robscotonokip, ctrl+alt+f1 then edit it?12:13

rsahi ...19:12
ianorlinhow can I help19:13
rsajust wondering what is the difference between x64 version and x32 version? just the memory handling?19:15
ianorlinyou need a 64 bit processor to get use the 64 bit version19:15
rsaok I know that but you can also run x32  version on x64 architecture machine19:16
ianorlinyes and it uses a little bit more ram with the 64 bit version19:17
ianorlin64 makes using some parts of virtual machines easier19:17
rsaCan I install virtualbox on lubuntu and run virtual machines?19:18
rsaI chose lubuntu because it uses less maemory and disk than ubuntu19:19
ianorlinyes but 64 bit allows more but will be slow without hardware virtualization support19:22
ianorlinalso uses more ram to run both19:22
rsaOK thanks19:23
rsaI have a HP Compaq notebook and I can't make the function keys to work with the the display brightness19:23
rsahow do I specify the Fn key19:24
urielvigilantTo install lubuntu-fake-pae is the same way as any other Lubunyu doesnt ? download iso here http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu-fake-pae/  then burn iso on DVD or USB and then test and them install ?19:26
urielvigilantI think acer 3003 wmli dont run Lubuntu up then 12.04 because it dont have PAE. AMD Mobile Sempron 3100+ does it have PAE ?19:30
ianorlindo you have any linux installed on it currently then you could cat /proc/cpuinfo in a terminal to see if it has pae19:40
urielvigilantianorlin  : yes it have Lubuntu 13.04 the only one that runs after tryed unsucessfully 13.10 and 13.04 and 12.1019:43
urielvigilantiarnolin : correction .- -  yes it have Lubuntu 12.04 the only one that runs after tryed unsucessfully 13.10 and 13.04 and 12.1019:44
ianorlinwas it blackscreen at boot?20:07
urielvigilanton boot it changes for all black to black with mouse pointer ,20:15
ianorlinbut installed correctly20:18
ianorlindoes the keyboard work?20:18
urielvigilantno . . . only the 12.04 installed correctly  . But Lubuntu 12.04 support ends on april20:19
urielvigilanton contrary Ubuntu 12.0420:19
urielvigilantas you know20:19
ianorlinhave you tried nomodeset?20:19
urielvigilanti think iam not able to install from mini iso. it seems to be a solution . .20:19
urielvigilantnomodeset . . no i dont know what it is . but i heard about bohdi linux being a alternative solution .20:20
ianorlin!nomodeset20:20
ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter20:20
urielvigilantianorlin . . . .  do you think it not have to do with PAE  ?20:21
ianorlinin 12.04 can you cat /proc/cpuinfo20:21
ianorlinit doesn't matter what I think it matters wheter the cpu has it and that can check20:22
urielvigilanti will do that next time went visit him,20:22
urielvigilantit must say pae somewhere , doesn it ?20:22
urielvigilantafter that command ?20:22
ianorlinunder flags20:23
urielvigilantianorlin , ok i will do that20:23
urielvigilantnot today , then i comback to take a decision for what Os i will change after april20:24
