[01:13] hi. having trouble with printing [01:14] anyting i print looks like draft mode. however it's not in draft mode [01:14] i've tried three different printers [01:14] all hp [01:14] morever, the color is crummy, and with new cartridges [01:14] so ... what in the printing system would cause this? [01:14] ... using hplip [01:17] let's assume the print system (hue, color, etc) has been set in the printing system. is there a way to re-set the printing system [01:24] got it fixed [02:03] argh just missed him [02:04] or her [06:55] i have a problem with my flash drive, i made 3 partitions with gparted in Ubuntu, now when i connect the pendrive in windows 7 i can see only 1 partition, i can't see the rest of two partitions. [06:56] I think that is a windows problem [07:07] windows can see only first partition [07:12] JohnDoe_71Rus:why? in lubuntu i can see all partitions. [07:14] http://forum.acronis.com/forum/23890 [07:15] http://www.prime-expert.com/articles/a05/enabling-multiple-partitions-on-removable-usb-storage-devices.php [07:18] Tom1: this is windows [07:19] JohnDoe_71Rus: thanks for the link. [07:20] JohnDoe_71Rus: one more thing, if the pendrive is formatted in windows, then all of its other partitions will also get formatted or only first partition will get formatted? [07:31] I do not know. You will format the partition visible? or delete all partitions [07:33] i mean in windows when u connect ur flash drive and click on format button, does it fformats other partitions too, [07:33] i will be formatting them no deleting. [07:44] I think if you right click on the drive in My Computer it is formatted only visible section. [07:44] ok thanks for the info. [07:44] The rest be found in Disk Management [07:45] ok [10:06] !servers [10:07] whoops wrong channel [11:38] hello, i would like to see all PAST (not future) notifications.... does anybody know how to do it please?

I have some wifi and graphic issues. Colud someone help. [18:16] maybe.. but, probably, thats what you are going to get, whatever support you have "out of the box" there [18:16] Ok [18:16] for the graphics, i would just force a vesa driver with a custom xorg.conf.. and the wifi, i would elaborate.. or, just use something that supports linux "better" [18:17] :-) So i think I set graphic ok in this yaboot. Before LUbuntu starts I entered: Linux radeon.modeset=0 etc... [18:17] Now i would like to set it for premenently but not sure how [18:17] the way i would do it i *exactly* like this.. i custom xorg.conf specifying the vesa driver [18:17] First graphic :-) [18:18] How holstein [18:18] but, you can specify whatever is working for you in grub, for example [18:18] Slit: i create a custom xorg.conf, and put it where it goes [18:18] I am new to linux so don't know what you mean. I ahve only LUbuntu on my mac [18:18] How to do that [18:18] sure. you dont need anything else on the mac [18:19] Greate [18:19] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270209 for example [18:19] how to set xorg [18:19] Slit: you do it by putting a custom file in place.. one like the one i linked above [18:19] Ok a minute please [18:20] Slit: you will try it. put it in place, and know how to remove it, if its not working for you.. then, move on to other options [18:20] you will not spend over 10 minutes on this [18:21] holstein I this folder etc/x11 ther is now xorg.conf [18:22] so I just put that file [18:22] ther in taht fodler [18:22] Slit: just relax, and try typing slowly [18:22] :-) [18:22] sorry [18:22] no xorx.conf in folder etc/x11 [18:23] etc/x11 actually doesnt exist.. its etc/X11 [18:23] so I just put this custome filde that i made in that folder right [18:23] yes X11 [18:23] Slit: and, you should know how to get to tty, or remove it from a live CD [18:23] this is something you can easily put in place and test.. and remove [18:23] !tty [18:23] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [18:24] I will use live cd to remove it if it doesnt' work [18:26] holstein do you know how to set wifi [18:28] Slit: graphics first..

I've noticed that it can see the ram sticks and treat them like drives so... [18:45] Slit: how about after you close that, and everything else as instructed? and open a terminal and type "ifconfig" ? [18:45] would try it right now myself except I don't have the machine on hand [18:46] Ok i typed if config [18:46] holstein [18:46] Slit: then, you did not follow instuction [18:46] Slit: if you typed "if config", i asked that you type "ifconfig" [18:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6921474/ [18:47] Eschaton: when you get it, come and ask again what you need, specifically [18:47] text for ifconfig [18:47] well, I thought I just did. not sure how I can get more specific than that [18:47] Slit: so, your wifi hardware is not showing up.. do the same with the command "lspci" please [18:47] after all, Disks is a GUI program [18:47] Eschaton: you have noticed that "it" can see "ram sticks" ? [18:48] Eschaton: you are trying to use a USB stick? [18:48] sorry, I can clarify [18:48] Eschaton: you would have to, and have the machine here, ideally [18:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6921483/ [18:48] for holstein [18:48] Eschaton: otherwise, as a volunteer, im not interested in speculating right now, without the hardware here [18:48] I meant "Disks" the program that ships with lubuntu (other than gparted), and I'm referring to the memory modules, not any kind of flash storage. [18:49] That's fine, was just wondering if anyone had ever tried it. [18:49] !ramdisk [18:49] http://www.linuxscrew.com/2010/03/24/fastest-way-to-create-ramdisk-in-ubuntulinux/ [18:50] yeah, i figured as much. oh well.

[19:21] holstein I did it :-) it's working [19:21] wfi :-) [19:23] I am having issues whilst installing lubuntu 13.10, whenever I finish setting up all the settings and stuff, it stalls while installing and just sits there, the cd doesn't spin, and the hdd light doesn't flash, I also cannot check the console to see what it is doing, any help? :) [19:24] are you saying it stalls after you enter all the settings and then the cd stops spinning? [19:25] ianorlin: Yeah, after its all set up and showing me all the stuff with the slides and saying enjoy, it just stops spinning and nothing happens [19:26] have you tried hitting control alt f1? [19:26] what would that do? [19:26] get to a command line interface [19:26] ok [19:26] im at the terminal interface [19:26] just says lubuntu@lubuntu [19:27] im trying to install it on my compaq presario, and then switch the hdd over to my mac, because my mac doesn't like cd-ew [19:27] If I recall, the 4th console is error output [19:27] rw * [19:28] ah yeah hit control alt f4 that will bring you to error console sorry [19:28] nothins there [19:28] says the same thing [19:28] lubuntu@lubuntu [19:29] maybe it's because I downloaded the mac version of lubuntu for amd64x? [19:29] I wish for it to work on a mac [19:29] by my mac hates cd-rw [19:29] it eats it [19:29] and then throws it back up [19:29] are you sure the cd -rw drive works? [19:30] yes, it works with cd-roms and cd-r [19:30] but not RW [19:31] Should I try rewriting the cd with the regular amd64x version of lubuntu? [19:31] maybe try entering top into the command line and see what process are active [19:31] ok [19:32] um [19:32] there are alot [19:32] I can't list all of them [19:34] I'm going to try and blank the cd and rewrite it with the regular version of lubuntu [19:37] !md5sum [19:37] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:37] make sure the download is good before [19:38] It seems good [19:40] Why do you have to verify that the MD5 is good? [19:41] too make sure there isn't an error with downloaded file so you don't keep trying to burn a bad download to a disk [19:45] oh [19:59] will the regular ubuntu 64x work on a macbook pro 11" [19:59] lubuntu * [19:59] RileyGuy: nothing here is preventing that [19:59] oh ok [19:59] RileyGuy: if it supports 64bit OS's, then it should [19:59] alright [19:59] RileyGuy: if the hardware supports linux, it should [20:00] because my mac hates cd-rw, and so i tried the mac version on pc and it sorta flopped [20:00] thanks [20:00] if its an intel mac, you can take the hard drive to another box and install.. that should work fine [20:00] though, on my intel mac, i used re-fit [20:01] my internal optical drive is also "shot".. so, i use plop to boot the CD just long enough to point to USB for installation [20:57] Hello, having a small problem here running 32 bit programs on 64bit. all the info i found says to install 32bit libs but ia32libs is no more. but should I then install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 packages or read most on something i seen called multiarch ???? [20:58] read more* [20:58] !info ia32libs [20:58] Package ia32libs does not exist in saucy [20:58] !info ia32lib [20:58] Package ia32lib does not exist in saucy [20:59] http://askubuntu.com/questions/359156/how-do-you-run-a-32-bit-program-on-a-64-bit-version-of-ubuntu looks like what i remember doing [21:00] sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [21:00] * genii goes back to staring at the coffeepot [21:05] ok tried that last command genii and not sure if it did a thing [21:05] it should pull in what you need [21:06] holstein: It seems to not be working again :< [21:06] i've tried both the mac tweaked version, and the regular x64 version [21:06] diecastarts: After you add a new architecture, you have to do again: sudo apt-get update ... and it will get now the i386 lists of packages as well as the amd64 ones. If you do after that: sudo apt-get upgrade ...it should pull in all the apps of 32bit you already have for 64bit [21:06] RileyGuy: sure.. i would expect a constant battle with that system [21:06] * genii thinks the coffeepot might be almost ready now [21:07] holstein: Its a compaq presario [21:07] RileyGuy: i read, macbook [21:07] RileyGuy: anyways, that wont require the mac version [21:07] RileyGuy: is it 64bit? [21:07] yes, it seems to like 64 ubunutu, but not lubuntu [21:08] it refuses to install [21:08] and i hear lubuntu is really good [21:08] RileyGuy: im not following [21:08] ok [21:08] RileyGuy: lubuntu *is* ubuntu [21:08] lemme start from the beginning [21:08] diecastarts: Then in the future, when you want to install ony the 32bit version of instance you do: sudo apt-get install packagename=i386 [21:08] RileyGuy: if you have 64 bit ubuntu installed, just install lxde, or if you want to "switch" install "lubuntu-desktop" [21:09] oh. [21:09] oh. [21:09] ._. [21:09] I guess i should say i am trying to play steam games on my 64bit linux [21:09] *tableflip* [21:09] should i also mention, that it says failed to mount ext2 filesystem or something? [21:11] RileyGuy: i would need an exact error message.. could be permissions or bad hardware or anything [21:15] well thats not working for what i need. so going to try these lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 .. [21:15] hmm [21:15] diecastarts: You might also want to pop into #ubuntu-steam and ask around :) [21:15] http://askubuntu.com/questions/257084/how-do-i-install-steam-on-a-64bit-system [21:15] oh thank you [21:15] i just popped in my ubuntu LTS cd and it said error reading sector ##### <-- numbers and then proceeded to boot [21:16] thought, its what genii already suggested, it seems [21:16] RileyGuy: you said the cd drive was bad.. or i thought you did [21:16] i never said the drive was bad on my compaq [21:17] i said it was spitting out cd-rw's on my mac [21:17] i have 2 computers [21:17] mac [21:17] and a compaq [21:17] im trying to install ubuntu on my compaq [21:17] and then switch the hdd over to my mac [21:17] cuz mavericks sucks [21:18] nice plan [21:18] thanks [21:19] maverdicks just HAD to screw up my java [21:19] and mac is just too compicated [21:19] complicated * [21:19] java was disabled, afAIK [21:19] and should be.. in the browser [21:19] nope [21:19] i mean, im glad you are here, and trying to use linux, but you are not having a mac issue, if your issue is with java.. and those same issues might come with you in linux [21:20] nah, i got a server running on my laptop with terrible graphics card [21:20] small question. if i apt-get install something that already installed will that put doubles or mess up things in anyway [21:20] no [21:20] it should say that it is already installed [21:20] and nothing will happen [21:20] to my knowledge anyways [21:20] i've tried and it said that anyways [21:21] so i shouldn't see why it would for you [21:21] T_T [21:21] um [21:21] well [21:21] yep says i have it [21:21] it seems its my harddrive thats causing issues [21:21] it keeps saying that it failed to create an ext2 filesystem [21:21] RileyGuy: sounds plausible.. i would test them and the ram.. [21:22] crap [21:22] i don't have any extra hdd's [21:22] and my last one i broke with a magnet [21:22] STUPID STUPID STUPID [21:22] did ya try Gparted [21:22] ._. [21:23] ok [21:23] i will [21:23] i would test.. i use gsmartcontrol as root [21:24] can i hook up my hdd to a sata to usb connector and use gparted from an ubuntu i already have? [21:25] RileyGuy: nothing about linux or ubuntu/lubuntu is preventing that [21:26] RileyGuy: though, gparted is a partition editior.. and, i suggest testing with a testing tool... i use gsmartcontrol as root [21:27] ok [21:27] ill try [21:28] this is way more complicated than it needs to be -.- [21:28] ohhh ho ho [21:28] theres an ! next to the drive [21:28] probably needs a reformatting [21:30] wait [21:30] does ubuntu use ext2? or ext4? [21:31] ext4 for recent versions [21:32] RileyGuy: bad/failing hardware can be complex to diagnose [21:32] the installer will offer to do it automatically [21:32] yeah. its the disk [21:32] it won't reformat to ext2 [21:32] crap [21:32] you are making assumptions til you test it [21:33] Note if you can boot from usb you might be able to get another computer if you buy an a new hard drive or if the connectors are old an extenral one [21:35] ok [21:35] ill test it [21:35] but im sure of it [21:36] diecastarts: If you want to reinstall something over top of the one already installed: sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename [21:36] holstein: in the mean time, while its testing, what are your thoughts on google fiber? [21:37] RileyGuy: i think its offtopic for this channel, and i might discuss in #lubuntu-offtopic :) [21:37] oh [21:37] :P [21:37] ill go there too [21:38] how do i open new tabs in freenode irc [21:38] dangit [21:38] off topic again [21:38] nvm [21:39] should be /join #lubuntu-offtopic [21:41] thanks genii. and well i got everything working now.. thanks to all [21:42] diecastarts: You're welcome :) [21:42] or actually. anyone happen to know a good place to read up on commands.
