[04:29] <frk7z> anyone have this issue on 13.10? "unable to find a medium containing a live file system"
[04:36] <ianorlin> what is the context for that error?
[04:38] <frk7z> boot live usb with lubuntu 13.10 on pc with nvidia chipset nforce 430
[04:44] <ianorlin> does your motherboard support usb boot?
[04:45] <ianorlin> do you have a cd drive you can boot from?
[04:46] <frk7z> the mobo support it, and nope, don't have cd drive u.u
[04:47] <frk7z> 12.04 can boot without any issue... 13.10 is the problem
[07:29] <nitus> anyone who was present and interested in how I finally solved my problem of being permanently stuck in a broken lubuntu-nexus7 session . . . I didn't. none of the solutions suggested did the trick
[07:36] <nitus> I decided to aggressively seek and remove any reference at all to lubuntu-nexus7 that I could find, but I never did get to see whether it worked or not. took a break and spent some time trying to repair my cripple window 7 install using testdisk and somehow managed to wipe out the lubuntu extended partition as a side-effect
[07:37] <nitus> reinstalled
[07:39] <nitus> however, I think that deleting it from /usr/share/xsessions might have worked. I just didn't happen to boot in and find out before wiping everything out
[07:41] <nitus> at any rate, I am here with a different question tonight. what's the best way to run android stuff?
[07:41] <nitus> somebody told me bluestacks in wine
[07:45] <nitus> but I noticed qemu-arm while scanning through synaptic just now
[07:45] <JohnDoe_71Rus> nitus: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/11/android-x86-emulator-genymotion-20.html it help you?
[07:45] <nitus> wouldn't that be way faster than bluestacts?
[07:45] <nitus> I can run x86 pretty welll, but it's not very useful in general
[07:46] <nitus> and genymotion is on the whole slower than bluestacks
[07:47] <JohnDoe_71Rus> lubuntu-nexus7 not for run android apps
[07:47] <nitus> actually android-x86 runs almost perfectly booted on my phenom II asus m3a, and blazingly fast
[07:48] <nitus> it just doesn't run a lot of apks that well
[07:49] <nitus> JohnDoe_71Rus:  I know. it was an unrelated issue
[07:49] <JohnDoe_71Rus> because x86 does not support many arm instructions.
[07:50] <nitus> I accidentally clicked lubuntu-nexus7 while switching users could not find a way to get back to lubuntu
[07:50] <JohnDoe_71Rus> lubuntu-nexus7 this is the mode, then you install lubuntu to nexus tablet
[07:50] <nitus> just a black screen with a mouse cursor, and nothing would stop it
[07:51] <nitus> rebooted, removed it from various confs and so forth, nothing worked
[07:52] <nitus> i had it on autologin
[07:53] <JohnDoe_71Rus> had to do logoff. but do not know what combination of keys
[07:53] <nitus> there isn't one
[07:53] <nitus> the key combo is a feature of lubuntu session
[07:53] <nitus> not universal
[07:53] <nitus> I believe it is actually a bug that I strayed into by inept package management
[07:55] <JohnDoe_71Rus> nitus: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1252435 your's bug?
[07:55] <ubottu> Ubuntu bug 1252435 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "lubuntu: "nexus 7" and "lx games" sessions get stuck, no usable UI" [Undecided,New]
[07:55] <nitus> I heard somewhere that removing lubuntu-nexus7 from /usr/share/xsessions might have worked, but never managed to test it
[07:56] <nitus> JohnDoe_71Rus:  yes that describes the situation accurately
[07:57] <JohnDoe_71Rus> you can try go to console Ctrl+Alt+F1 then use midnight commander to edit config files
[07:58] <nitus> it was late at night and I do recall that did something, but wasn't useful to me. whether because I am a newb or not I am not sure
[07:58] <JohnDoe_71Rus> nitus: confirmed the bug. more cases, a quick fix
[07:59] <nitus> but I did edit a number of config files from the livecd and it was to no avail
[07:59] <nitus> just kept booting into the void
[08:02] <nitus> it's all fine now. I did something early on in that install that made it very fragile and prone to not booting, just from installing packages that normally cause no problem. I never did discover what was wrong with what
[08:02] <nitus> this new install is much more solid
[08:04] <nitus> I learned that as a newb I should not willy-nilly install whacks of packages or enable repositories blindly but should instead do things one at a time and learn what each one does before adding more
[08:09] <nitus> hmm, running android with the qemu-arm seems a bit more complicated than bluestacks but surely it runs a lot faster and more "genuine android"
[08:10] <nitus> bluestacks in win7 does not run apps that great on this machine
[08:36] <nitus> a bit surprised there isn't some "ready to run" package available.  I see many pre-built images but in a way too many - like there's no single agreed-on best way to a given android system. does it somehow vary depending on the host system, or is it just different people using superficially different paths to the same destination
[08:42] <JohnDoe_71Rus> nitus: this is open source :)
[08:43] <nitus> deceptively open, as I have already discovered. everything is so easy to do, but not necessarily desirable in the outcome
[08:43] <nitus> it's like they took the training wheels off - but also took out the guard rails
[08:45] <nitus> I have killed lubuntu a half dozen times already in the last few weeks, and it's the easiest distro for a newb that I have encountered so far
[08:45] <nitus> the real hardcore stuff no longer seems just murky and impenetrable, but actively sinister
[08:47] <nitus> non-sequitor: I have long scoffed at "tech analysts" who claimed that 4 inch screens, mobile facebook, and angry birds were going to kill windows desktop. nobody who seriously had a use for the platform was going to trade it in for a postage stamp display with feeble input controls, it just diverted the facebook and twitter crowd who never really used it in the first place. they were happy to facebook on whatever happened to be convenient
[08:48] <nitus> the real windows killer has been around for years and hiding in plain sight: steam
[08:48] <Myrtti> I've already lost how this is related to Lubuntu
[08:48] <Myrtti> how is this related to Lubuntu?
[08:49] <nitus> how is running android in lubuntu related to lubuntu
[08:49] <nitus> good questio
[08:49] <Myrtti> well, how is this related to Lubuntu support then?
[08:50] <Myrtti> oh, there
[08:50] <Myrtti> vanished into the backlog
[08:50] <nitus> presumably someone would know how best to run android in lubuntu
[08:51] <nitus> yeah, the entire conversation until a single paragraph about windows forthcoming slide into the abyss
[08:51] <nitus> because when gaming migrates to linux they have nothing else to fall back on
[09:01] <nitus> maybe I'll ask again after work today, instead of plunging headlong into it and breaking yet another lubuntu install. at some point in the day, in some time zone or other, there might be a user around who is intimately acquainted with it and can save me a lot of tedius research. I still don't quite understand how I manage to bugger the install with one or two seemingly innocuous packages here and there

[20:58] <Rarrikins> Against what package should bugs in the lock screen functionality be reported?
[21:06] <ianorlin> in 13.10?
[21:07] <Rarrikins> Yes
[21:07] <Rarrikins> ianorlin: ^
[21:08] <Rarrikins> Lubuntu's lock screen option in the logout menu.
[21:08] <Rarrikins> In Lubuntu 13.10.
[21:08] <Rarrikins> It's rather easy to bypass
[21:09] <ianorlin> it has already been reported but not fixed in 13.10
[21:09] <Rarrikins> Oh, it has. Good :)

[21:09] <Rarrikins> Yeah, that's it. Thanks :)
[21:31] <DF3D2> lubuntu seems to be ignoring my request to "do nothing" when laptop lid is closed
[21:37] <ianorlin> DF3D2 I think that is a bug
