[01:55] hello [01:55] how do i get my FN keys to work in ubuntu [01:55] also i have no sound [01:55] any ideas [01:58] hello [02:03] hi Tlan5 [02:04] About the sound, you should check all the volumes from terminal, with the command alsamixer [02:05] i found a setting in the control panel [02:05] under keyboard and input [02:05] there is a check box says use system layout [02:05] i check it [02:05] and then my fn keys work except for sound [02:05] it seems soudn is not installed?? [02:06] As for Fn keys, You can keep that option enabled, and just add manually to the keymap the KeyCode correspondant to the volume special keys [02:06] i think the volume keys don't work because i have no sound installed [02:07] hi [02:07] i have no volume controls or anything [02:07] but some of my fn keys work [02:07] like brightness [02:07] Tlan5: Seriously? Why you don't have sound installed? [02:07] i don;t know [02:08] i think its a bug or something with the install [02:08] well, check that... sudo apt-get install pulseaudio [02:08] ok [02:09] i did a secure erase on my ssd and iam in the process right now if reinstalling lubunt 13.10 [02:09] Tlan5: Is your sound card integrated in the motherboard or separate? [02:09] so iwill try that command when i am b ack in [02:09] ok! [02:09] its intergrated running a acer v5 122p-0643 laptop [02:09] hi uBUXUBu [02:09] hey anyways can i get your thoughts on something? [02:09] hi nannes [02:10] lubuntu 13.10 seems way better than xubuntu [02:10] like as far as 13.10 goes it seems like lubuntu had more stuff done [02:10] and xubuntu has not changed [02:10] what is the default password for the livecd? [02:10] Tlan5: Anyway, this page could be very helpful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [02:10] im running buntu on a intel dual core with 2 gigs of ram and a dedicated 5570 card wow its nice [02:11] Yes, I'm a very big fan of lubuntu [02:11] I appreciate xfce too [02:11] also xfce seems more like mac os [02:11] and lubuntu is like xp [02:11] do you guys like thunderbird over the stock email app in lubuntu ? [02:11] like xp? not at all :/ [02:11] no i mean the ui [02:11] Tlan5: Yessss thunderbird 4ever [02:12] like the taskbar alot of people compare it to older xp [02:12] somebody likes sylpheed, but I miss tb too much [02:12] i like the minimalistic theme of lubuntu over xubuntu [02:13] i have one more problem maybe you can help me [02:13] I can try [02:13] when i hit ctrl+alt+f1 [02:13] i get garbled graphics [02:13] i can't see the command line [02:13] any idea why [02:13] what does "garbled" mean? I'm not a native speaker lol [02:14] like its all messed up [02:14] the screen [02:14] oh [02:14] no text appears [02:14] i have to hit alt+ctrl+f7 to get back to desktop gui [02:14] i can't install the proppritary amd drivers i need for this A6 apu [02:14] to work correctly [02:15] i want to install steam [02:15] mmmmmh [02:15] Does Safe Mode make it behave correctly? [02:16] how do i get into safe mode [02:16] iam running uefi bios [02:16] from grub, you have the choice menu [02:16] i don't see grub i just get a lubuntu logo [02:16] i have a ssd so it moves really fast [02:17] Tlan5: Curiosity: Have you installed a clean *buntu, or did you use wubi to install it into windows? [02:17] nope [02:17] i did a secure erase of my ssd [02:17] used GPT [02:17] and then created a live usb using unetbootin [02:17] for the grub screen to appear you have to hold shift during boot... and maybe pressing ESCAPE sometimes would help too [02:18] i tried holding down shift [02:18] nothing happens [02:18] try with escape too :P [02:18] shift+esc [02:18] or just esc [02:18] will this allow me install the drivers? [02:18] can i use the wget command [02:19] download the drivers then unzip and install ??? [02:19] did u install lubuntu while the cat5 was connected? [02:19] i don't have ethernet jsut wifi [02:19] ah ha [02:19] iam installing right now again [02:19] but this time iamd downloading updates and the third party thing [02:20] i checked both boxes [02:20] shift + esc [02:20] if u install while connected to cat5 it might make it better [02:20] so i guess its downloading the latest kernel [02:20] right now [02:20] i can't i don't have ethernet port on this laptop [02:20] but can u arrange to do so? [02:20] omg no enet prt [02:21] are you talking about a net install ? [02:21] yea [02:21] anyway, I think setting the "GRUB_GFXMODE" in /etc/default/grub exactly the same resolution as you have on your graphical session, would help [02:21] ok nvm then [02:21] i would have to get the mini dp to ethernet adapter [02:21] ive had issue sometime when doing wifi installs [02:21] which i don't have [02:21] iam installing off a usb stick [02:22] for 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 windows [02:22] yea [02:22] i know what you mean [02:23] but i have a new DD-wrt router i just bought [02:23] Tlan5: Have a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1850667 [02:23] iam connected to G 2.4ghz [02:23] its not the speed [02:23] what is wubi ? [02:24] its a file that makes windows think its a partition [02:24] It's a program that makes ubuntu work from into windows [02:24] it had buntu in it and it looks and boots like a real partition (dual booter) [02:24] very helpful for those who cannot change their partition table [02:24] but very problematic sometimes [02:25] it doesnt last very long [02:25] it's a *ubuntu install INTO windows [02:25] its kinda nice because if you want to uninstall it it...it uninstalls easy and totally registry and all....and the natural partitions remain untouched [02:26] restart nautilus ? [02:26] that is the fix [02:26] i didn't know lubuntu had nautilus [02:30] It doesn't. [02:30] Tlan5: No, lol, read it at the bottom [02:30] oh [02:31] GRUB_GFXMODE and also, in page 2, grub loaded drivers for graphic [02:37] just tell me the commands [02:37] so i can paste them [02:37] lol [02:37] sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub [02:37] remove the # before GRUB_GFXMODE [02:38] and set it to your screen's resolution, the same you use within your DE [02:38] Then you --> cat /boot/grub/video.lst [02:38] and see if there are missing modules [02:40] of course you have to update grub after this modification [02:40] the command is sudo update-grub2 if I'm not wrong [02:47] what is ibus [02:50] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Input_Bus [03:29] i typed in cat /boot/grub/video.lst and nothing happened [03:30] hey so edited the grub [03:30] but now instead of graphic coruption i get a black screen [03:30] any ideas [03:34] hello [03:36] hey you there? [03:59] Tlan5: you have no sound? [04:30] no i have sound [04:30] everything is running pretty good [04:31] i just cann't use my laptops FN keys [04:31] which sucks [04:31] and i cant get to a TTL terminal [04:49] YES I DID IT !!! [04:49] I got the amd drivers [04:51] i got the amd propritary drivers installed [04:52] now i just need to fix my FN key issue [04:52] i be in heaven [06:50] cant get 1920x1080 to work on a Celeron G1620 integrated gpu, :/ [06:52] nvm i rebooted and it works, lol [06:52] "seven troubles one reset" [07:06] language somehow got set to something else and cant figure out how to switch it back, lol [07:09] better reboot i guess [07:09] the linux/windows way [07:09] this windows way [07:10] linux way - reboot daemon [07:11] lol now im completely locked out [07:12] using lubuntu installed to a usb drive w/ the pendrivelinux installer from windows [07:15] :/ [07:15] cant login using the password i set before rebooting [08:02] Hello all [08:03] I'm running Lubuntu 13.10 using the shipped pcmanfm and lxterminal and I have an issue opening a terminal from pcmanfm using the "f4" shortcut [08:04] it seems to not work when there is a space in the folder name [08:05] so for example if hit "f4" when in the folder: /home/rob/test folder lxterminal wont open [08:06] It has been my one gripe with Lubuntu for a while now and I'm hoping there is a simple solution. [08:07] Apart from this I've had a great experience using Lubuntu, been at it since 12.04 [11:02] damn suddenly pcmanfm doesnt start anymore, whether i click on the icon or type it in the console... no error message whatsoever [12:07] anyone know how i can recover from a bad xorf.conf file [12:13] tonokip, ctrl+alt+f1 then edit it? [12:27] tonokip: http://ubuntucorner.blogspot.com/2011/02/generate-xorgconf-remove-screen.html [19:12] hi ... [19:13] how can I help [19:15] just wondering what is the difference between x64 version and x32 version? just the memory handling? [19:15] you need a 64 bit processor to get use the 64 bit version [19:16] ok I know that but you can also run x32 version on x64 architecture machine [19:17] yes and it uses a little bit more ram with the 64 bit version [19:17] 64 makes using some parts of virtual machines easier [19:18] Can I install virtualbox on lubuntu and run virtual machines? [19:19] I chose lubuntu because it uses less maemory and disk than ubuntu [19:22] yes but 64 bit allows more but will be slow without hardware virtualization support [19:22] also uses more ram to run both [19:23] OK thanks [19:23] I have a HP Compaq notebook and I can't make the function keys to work with the the display brightness [19:24] how do I specify the Fn key [19:26] To 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 ? [19:30] I think acer 3003 wmli dont run Lubuntu up then 12.04 because it dont have PAE. AMD Mobile Sempron 3100+ does it have PAE ? [19:40] do you have any linux installed on it currently then you could cat /proc/cpuinfo in a terminal to see if it has pae [19:43] ianorlin : yes it have Lubuntu 13.04 the only one that runs after tryed unsucessfully 13.10 and 13.04 and 12.10 [19:44] iarnolin : correction .- - yes it have Lubuntu 12.04 the only one that runs after tryed unsucessfully 13.10 and 13.04 and 12.10 [20:07] was it blackscreen at boot? [20:15] on boot it changes for all black to black with mouse pointer , [20:18] but installed correctly [20:18] does the keyboard work? [20:19] no . . . only the 12.04 installed correctly . But Lubuntu 12.04 support ends on april [20:19] on contrary Ubuntu 12.04 [20:19] as you know [20:19] have you tried nomodeset? [20:19] i think iam not able to install from mini iso. it seems to be a solution . . [20:20] nomodeset . . no i dont know what it is . but i heard about bohdi linux being a alternative solution . [20:20] !nomodeset [20:20] A 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 parameter [20:21] ianorlin . . . . do you think it not have to do with PAE ? [20:21] in 12.04 can you cat /proc/cpuinfo [20:22] it doesn't matter what I think it matters wheter the cpu has it and that can check [20:22] i will do that next time went visit him, [20:22] it must say pae somewhere , doesn it ? [20:22] after that command ? [20:23] under flags [20:23] ianorlin , ok i will do that [20:24] not today , then i comback to take a decision for what Os i will change after april [20:31] Hello [20:31] hi [20:31] I am still having issue with my keyboard in lubuntu 13.10 [20:32] It doesn't recognize fn command keys and I can't adjust screen brightness and sound volume [20:33] does control f10 or control f11 work [20:34] Any help no [20:34] I have sound [20:34] I want it to work like windows [20:36] Showing the on screen volume meter [20:36] right click on the panel at the bottom [20:36] Some of the functions work like turning off the touch pad [20:37] go to panel settings go to panel applets and select add volume control [20:38] I already have that on [20:40] Any ideas [22:35] hi all I am trying to install a .bin file, while running in the beginning it closes and give me a message says "Segmentation fault (core dumped)", anyone has any idea about solution?thanks
