| meteor42 | hello? someone here? | 02:12 |
|---|---|---|
| ianorlin | hi | 02:15 |
| ianorlin | how can I help? | 02:16 |
| meteor42 | hi! sometimes I get a kernel panic without an obvious reason... | 02:16 |
| meteor42 | What could cause this? | 02:16 |
| ianorlin | not sure without reason doesn't really help me | 02:17 |
| meteor42 | ok! thank you anyway! :) | 02:18 |
| meteor42 | maybe its just the age of my harfware... | 02:18 |
| ianorlin | see if there is something you are doing then I might be able to find out why | 02:18 |
| ianorlin | running memtest at startup might help if it is bad ram causing it and memtest is also on livecd | 02:19 |
| meteor42 | I think its more when I'm sutfing in the internet | 02:19 |
| meteor42 | ok, I'll try that. | 02:19 |
| meteor42 | *surfing | 02:19 |
| meteor42 | thank you very much indeed! | 02:19 |

| mikeb2013 | hi everyone- lubuntu noob here, cant get any sound | 03:47 |
| mikeb2013 | but i can when i boot into another os- so the hardware is good | 03:48 |
| mikeb2013 | and ive tried messing with pulse audio and the one in the terminal | 03:48 |
| mikeb2013 | any ideas? | 03:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Well... Lubuntu doesn't use PulseAudio by default; it uses ALSA | 03:49 |
| mikeb2013 | alsa, yes, thats the one in the terminal that i checked | 03:50 |
| mikeb2013 | i unmuted it, but still nothing | 03:50 |
| mikeb2013 | when i look at configuration, it says essentially that there is nothing to configure | 03:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Sadly, I don't know squat about ALSA... all my Ubuntu stuff is done via PulseAudio... | 03:55 |
| mikeb2013 | ok, thank you- would you be able to help me set it up through pulseaudio? | 03:56 |
| mikeb2013 | I am looking at the manager right now | 03:56 |
| mikeb2013 | for devices, it says "dummy output" | 03:56 |
| mikeb2013 | is it not detecting my soundcard? | 03:57 |
| ianorlin | can you run aplay -l to list devices in the terminal | 03:58 |
| mikeb2013 | sure, hold on 1 sec | 03:59 |
| mikeb2013 | it says "list of PLAYBACK Hardware devices, then lists none | 04:00 |
| ianorlin | can you run lspci in terminal? | 04:02 |
| mikeb2013 | y | 04:02 |
| ianorlin | to list other hardware things so I can search for a solution | 04:03 |
| mikeb2013 | lots of stuff came up | 04:03 |
| ianorlin | !pastebinit | 04:03 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 04:03 |
| mikeb2013 | ok, one sec please | 04:04 |
| mikeb2013 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6649311/ | 04:10 |
| mikeb2013 | sorry that it took so long, a new thing for me | 04:11 |
| ianorlin | understandable | 04:11 |
| holstein | aplay -l should list what alsa can use | 04:15 |
| holstein | maybe your device doesnt support linux. but, the intel stuff usually works well out of the box | 04:16 |
| holstein | mikeb2013: has it ever worked in linux before? | 04:16 |
| ianorlin | sigh he seemed to understand things | 04:19 |
| mikeb2013 | and thank you for the help, by the way | 04:30 |
| ianorlin | have you foudn a solution? | 04:31 |
| mikeb2013 | no | 04:31 |
| mikeb2013 | just making sure that i remembered to thank you- I am overwhelmed over here and really appreciate it | 04:32 |
| ianorlin | does running alsamixer from terminal or volume app work? | 04:33 |
| mikeb2013 | hold on, let me check | 04:33 |
| mikeb2013 | I uninstalled and installed alsa several times- let me get it working again | 04:35 |
| mikeb2013 | hmm- still says "no such device" | 04:36 |
| mikeb2013 | so no, alsamixer from terminal not working | 04:39 |
| ianorlin | did it work on a livecd? | 04:39 |
| mikeb2013 | y | 04:40 |
| ianorlin | then it could be settings messed up | 04:40 |
| mikeb2013 | before installation, y | 04:40 |
| ianorlin | it worked before installation? | 04:41 |
| mikeb2013 | yes | 04:41 |
| ianorlin | on lubuntu or other linux right | 04:41 |
| mikeb2013 | on both, actually | 04:41 |
| mikeb2013 | when running the os from usb to test it out, i had sound | 04:42 |
| mikeb2013 | when i boot into regular ubuntu, it works | 04:42 |
| mikeb2013 | on one hdd i have ubuntu, and it works | 04:43 |
| mikeb2013 | on this hdd with lubuntu, nothing, but it worked before i chose to install it | 04:43 |
| mikeb2013 | i am going to reboot and come back- just played with a few settings- unless you have another idea | 04:45 |
| mikeb2013 | ok see you in a few | 04:46 |
| ianorlin | https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iTlJ8BfqXUjaHO__TEdlkvuqB1WLOkGaudngc5SFLMI/edit# has a command AC that I am not sure of in procedure AC for forcing alsa to recognize your cards | 05:04 |
| Temper | sweet | 06:48 |
| Temper | there is a lubuntu channel :) | 06:48 |
| ianorlin | there is also #lubuntu-offtopic for general chat | 06:49 |
| Temper | hey.. i installed kickstart so i have the command /usr/sbin/system-config-kickstart but i get attributeerror: 'module' object has no attribute 'parsetagfile' | 06:51 |
| Temper | i found a website with a diff file to patch it, but i couldn't find the download itself | 06:52 |
| Temper | hrmm i dunno is this offtopic? | 06:53 |
| * ianorlin doesn't use kickstart so I wouldn't know | 06:53 | |
| Temper | yeah i normally do not either | 06:54 |
| Temper | is kickstart the same across all ubuntu of the same ver? like 13.10 | 06:54 |
| * ianorlin doesn't know about kickstart and I had to look up what it was | 06:55 | |
| Temper | u know.. install ubuntu and then build the kickstart on ubuntu to use on lubuntu? | 06:55 |
| Temper | oh ok.. nm maybe someone else knows.. | 06:55 |
| lll | hello. Would any know anything about fixing lubuntu suspend problems? If I click suspend, the screen turns off for a second, then on to a black, at which point I have to reboot to do anything. | 08:08 |
| junka | yeah its a bug | 08:57 |
| freeroute | hi all, happy holidays :) | 11:42 |
| freeroute | is it common for the Ubiquity installer to crash or freeze during USB installs? | 11:43 |
| freeroute | I wanted to install Lubuntu 13.10 x86 on an 8gb USB stick for a friend of mine who wasn't into Linux yet. So I booted into the live environment, inserted the empty USB stick and started the Ubiquity installer. After creating partitions it kept freezing. | 12:04 |
| freeroute | not the best introduction to Linux lol | 12:04 |
| === leszek_ is now known as leszek | ||
| xnox | freeroute: use usb-creator to create bootable ubuntu usb sticks, either "livecd" mode or with "persistent storage" | 12:07 |
| xnox | freeroute: ubiquity is meant to install ubuntu proper, not for a portable installation. | 12:08 |
| freeroute | xnox: ah, so it's ill-advised I dd the Lubuntu .iso image to a USB stick the way I did? I remember doing the same thing on another machine and it ended up working (although it was an older Lubuntu version I believe) | 12:10 |
| jared | freedomrun: xnox appears to have stepped out, but yes, using dd to create installation media is not the preferred method for Ubuntu. For some other ideas check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick however I would just recommend using the usb-creator available from within Ubuntu if it's available to you | 12:25 |
| jared | freeroute: sorry, that was meant for you | 12:26 |
| jared | freedomrun: apologies for the incorrect ping | 12:26 |
| freedomrun | np jared | 12:30 |
| jared | I was one letter too quick on the tab autocomplete :) | 12:31 |
| xnox | freedomrun: dd is perfectely correct way to create installation media. | 12:54 |
| xnox | freedomrun: and that is supported and works. | 12:54 |
| xnox | freedomrun: however, i was under impression you used ubiquity to install onto a usb-stick, rather than internal hard-drive. | 12:54 |
| xnox | freedomrun: that is not well supported. | 12:54 |
| freeroute | jared & xnox - it's strange, I've installed elementary OS successfully on a USB stick (from a USB stick containing an .iso image which was copied there using dd) without using usb-creator. | 13:02 |
| freeroute | also, freeroute instead of freedomrun :p | 13:02 |
| xnox | freeroute: the part of "on to a usb stick" is not well supported. | 13:02 |
| xnox | freeroute: and may or may not continue to work. | 13:03 |
| freeroute | so how do I install Lubuntu on a USB stick? Is it currently not (well) supported? | 13:03 |
| xnox | freeroute: the right way to setup portable usb-stick installation is using usb-creatro, or using dd/cp+bootloader and creating persistence partition. | 13:03 |
| freeroute | I see | 13:03 |
| xnox | freeroute: don't use ubiquity =) | 13:03 |
| xnox | freeroute: you can e.g. use alternate installer with better success rates. | 13:04 |
| xnox | installing onto usb stick is quite non-deterministic with ubiquity. | 13:04 |
| freeroute | ah ok, so it's a current issue with ubiquity then | 13:05 |
| xnox | freeroute: it's not meant to do that. so it's not an issue per-se, rather a design/use-case limitation. | 13:05 |
| freeroute | would be fitting to write down some kind of warning somewhere during the ubuquity install procedure which tells exactly this | 13:07 |
| freeroute | I'm now trying to create a startup disk using usb-creator with reserved extra space. Where exactly do I specify to encrypt the home directory? I couldn't find anything in the official docs - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 13:15 |
| xnox | freeroute: usb-creator does not support making the usb stick encrypted. | 15:16 |
| xnox | freeroute: if we could reliably detect that target is removal usb stick, we'd make ubiquity work with persistent installation onto removable media.... | 15:17 |
| xnox | freeroute: to be honest, i'd recommend Wubi to people who want to try ubuntu without repartitioning their windows machines. | 15:18 |
| xnox | freeroute: and that does support home-folder encryption. | 15:18 |
| xnox | freeroute: unless one has Windows8/UEFI-only machine, Wubi works correctly and is supported. | 15:18 |
| dzho | ok, lubuntuistas | 15:47 |
| dzho | when I copy a URL and then paste it into irssi, a ^V character carries over, which puts the URL in reverse video | 15:48 |
| dzho | this is not necessarily the desired effect | 15:48 |
| dzho | if I think about it, I can move to the beginning of the line and delete the ^V, but this is annoying to have to do | 15:48 |
| dzho | what's more, this was not a problem with stock ubuntu (precise) and so my habit is not to look for it | 15:49 |
| HiItsNick | hey guys | 17:32 |
| HiItsNick | does lubuntu use the same commands as ubunut? | 17:33 |
