| swrich | ive tried installing lubuntu on an old laptop and it said i needed to update the lan driver and it threw up some type of name called b43 i have read about this but no where have i found out how to actually remedey the problem | 05:11 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | !b43 | 05:11 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 05:11 |
| swrich | ill check that out right now | 05:12 |
| swrich | ive read that document. it only tells you how to do it in linux but obviously i havent been able to install linux yet until i update the driver. i need to do it while still in windows or through the bios | 05:13 |
| Unit193 | Erm... | 05:15 |
| Unit193 | swrich: What says exactly what? | 05:26 |
| swrich | i cant remember exactly. but it was somewhere along the line of "cant finish installing lubuntu, go to wireless.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43 and read the instructions carefully" which of course i did but it makes no sense because the instructoions tell you how to do it while in linux | 05:29 |
| Unit193 | Yes, did you check the box that said to download updates while installing? Normally it just installs, and you can install the wireless driver later. | 05:30 |
| swrich | no, i dont remember checking any boxes except for the english one | 05:35 |
| jozefk | Is lubuntu developed and supported by canonical? | 07:27 |
| Noskcaj | jozefk, Yes | 07:31 |
| Noskcaj | Everything is the same as Xubuntu in this case, except 12.04 isn't really an lts for lubuntu | 07:32 |
| Unit193 | Not quite, same answer as in #xubuntu. | 07:32 |
| jozefk | For lubuntu LTS will be 14.04 only right? | 07:33 |
| Unit193 | Right, that'll be the first one. | 07:34 |
| jozefk | So the difference is only in taste of users. If you like unity you go for Ubuntu if lxde then lubuntu and so on | 07:35 |
| jozefk | Interesting is that there are thousands of people on Ubuntu channel :) | 07:36 |

| STHGOM | aloooo | 14:56 |
| STHGOM | it might just be an old version on lubuntu-live but what comes up when im installing is different than this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/InstallingLubuntu | 14:58 |
| STHGOM | and i need help | 14:59 |
| STHGOM | im trying to install lubuntu along side vista but all that comes up with the installation type it replace windows vista with lubuntu, or sometheing else where you have to create partitions yourself, and im not sure what partitions are... | 15:01 |
| STHGOM | vista is being wacky but all of the user files are still on it :c | 15:02 |
| STHGOM | on my lubuntu desktop there is "install lubuntu 13.04" | 15:04 |
| STHGOM | so i guess thats the verzion | 15:04 |
| STHGOM | can an 1 help? | 15:05 |
| STHGOM | any1 | 15:05 |
| STHGOM | plz? | 15:08 |
| Unit193 | 1. Might want to try 13.10. 2. Can you see a option on the desktop for that drive? Can gparted find it? | 15:08 |
| STHGOM | for what drive? | 15:09 |
| STHGOM | im a noob so... | 15:10 |
| Unit193 | That windows is on. | 15:10 |
| STHGOM | c:? | 15:10 |
| STHGOM | should i close the installer? | 15:11 |
| STHGOM | what is gparted? | 15:13 |
| Unit193 | It's the partition editor, will show you what the drive looks like, basically. | 15:14 |
| STHGOM | it shows windows vista loader and window vista recovery | 15:15 |
| STHGOM | oh wait... just windows recovery enviroment | 15:15 |
| STHGOM | and the loader | 15:16 |
| Unit193 | So Ubiquity, the installer, should find that as well. | 15:16 |
| STHGOM | the called the devices sda1 and sda2 | 15:17 |
| STHGOM | theres also sda bt that dosn't show anything | 15:17 |
| STHGOM | perhaps i should shut up and listen | 15:17 |
| STHGOM | should i take a screenshot? | 15:21 |
| Unit193 | STHGOM: I have to go now, but you should wait for someone else to step in, or if someone isn't here within 20minutes, try #ubuntu. | 15:22 |
| STHGOM | lol how do you take a screenshot with lubuntu? | 15:22 |
| STHGOM | ok | 15:22 |
| Unit193 | Print screen key puts a screen shot in the Home folder. | 15:22 |
| STHGOM | k | 15:22 |
| STHGOM | http://imgur.com/VcqI4YN | 15:28 |
| STHGOM | maybe i should just wait for my big bro... :D | 15:31 |
| STHGOM | cya | 15:33 |
| Nindustries | So I installed lubunu 64bit on my Dell XPS 14. Sound isnt working, I only get HDMI out as an option.. suggestions? | 18:23 |
| Nindustries | Update; I reinstalled and now it shows Stereo, but no sound | 18:25 |
| ianorlin | #lubuntu-offtopic | 18:45 |
| holstein | Nindustries: try pavucontrol | 18:47 |
| holstein | assuming you are OK adding pluse, which is also a troubleshooting step | 18:48 |
| holstein | you could try xubuntu live, since it has pulse, and go from there | 18:48 |

| Guest53395 | Hey , how to enable root in lubuntu ?? is there any way ?? can i apply this in Lubuntu http://handytutorial.com/enable-root-account-in-ubuntu-13-04-login-screen/ | 21:20 |
| wxl | !root | Guest53395 | 21:20 |
| ubottu | Guest53395: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:20 |
| Guest53395 | <ubottu> I want to login as root !!! | 21:21 |
| wxl | Guest53395: click the link. everything you need to know is there. | 21:22 |

| circ1 | hi | 22:59 |
| circ1 | i want to ask a question about running python script in lubuntu... | 23:00 |
| wxl | should be the same as running python script anywhere | 23:00 |
| genii | circ1: Can you make your question more specific? | 23:01 |
| circ1 | i want to run python scrip by double clicking ... | 23:01 |
| circ1 | i dont want to run by typing python test.py in terminal | 23:04 |
| circ1 | can anyone help please? | 23:07 |
| zleap | chmod 755 test.py | 23:09 |
| zleap | i guess if you tell it to use python it will do that so first line i think is a line to tell it to use python | 23:09 |
| circ1 | i typed chmod +x | 23:10 |
| zleap | #!/usr/bin/env python | 23:10 |
| zleap | ok did that work | 23:10 |
| circ1 | it did not work | 23:10 |
| zleap | should go green, which is the shell colour for executable | 23:10 |
| zleap | what error do you get | 23:11 |
| zleap | try doing ./test.sh | 23:11 |
| zleap | maybe put #!/usr/bin/env python in the first line of the program | 23:11 |
| zleap | or #!/usr/bin/env python3 if you're using python3 | 23:11 |
| circ1 | i click on py file but nothing happens | 23:11 |
| zleap | run in the terminal then | 23:12 |
| ianorlin | what version of python | 23:12 |
| ianorlin | if you are using python 3 it has to use #!/usr/bin/env python3 | 23:12 |
| circ1 | i use python 2 | 23:13 |
| zleap | it works here | 23:13 |
| ianorlin | you can do python the script name in terminal | 23:13 |
| zleap | if I do chmod +x file.py | 23:14 |
| zleap | then run ./file.py it runs it | 23:14 |
| ianorlin | that works too | 23:14 |
| circ1 | can you run it by double clicking on it too? | 23:14 |
| zleap | maybe | 23:15 |
| zleap | but it will still open a terminal so what is the program doing | 23:15 |
| circ1 | can you try double click method please? | 23:15 |
| zleap | unless its has gui components | 23:15 |
| circ1 | i use raw_input() to keep terminal open.... | 23:17 |
| zleap | ok | 23:17 |
| zleap | until the program reaches the end | 23:17 |
| zleap | as in you type something, it does what it needs to do with what you typed in then exits | 23:17 |
| circ1 | with raw_input() it should stay open until i press enter... | 23:19 |
| zleap | yeah | 23:19 |
| zleap | or do inport time at the start of the program | 23:19 |
| zleap | then do time.sleep(5) and it will delay before exiting | 23:19 |
| circ1 | can you try and tell me if you can run it by double clicking please? | 23:20 |
| zleap | i am getting tired so am going to sign off, hope you fix this :) | 23:20 |
| zleap | chat later | 23:20 |
| ianorlin | then how would you open the file to edit it? | 23:20 |
| circ1 | in a text editor.... | 23:21 |
| ianorlin | I think first you need to right click on it and give it execute permissions in pcmanfm | 23:21 |
| circ1 | i did | 23:22 |
| circ1 | could you try it yourself please and tell me if it works? | 23:24 |
| circ1 | i read on the internet that it works in ubuntu but i cant make it work in lubuntu | 23:25 |
| circ1 | i just chmod and ran ./test.py in terminal but got error message | 23:33 |
| wxl | maybe you need to post up some results on pastebin | 23:33 |
| ianorlin | do you want a GUI to run python in? | 23:35 |
| circ1 | i want to be able to run python scripts via gui not having to use terminal | 23:37 |
| ianorlin | !info idle | 23:37 |
| ubottu | idle (source: python-defaults): IDE for Python using Tkinter (default version). In component main, is optional. Version 2.7.5-5ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 3 kB, installed size 54 kB | 23:37 |
| ianorlin | that will run them in GUI | 23:37 |
| ianorlin | and then I think you can right click open with idle probably | 23:38 |
| circ1 | i know idle can ran it | 23:38 |
| wxl | well if you double click them, and the file association is set, it should run them out of terminal | 23:38 |
| wxl | if there are gui components in the script itself, it will run them | 23:38 |
| wxl | if you want a gui, build it | 23:38 |
| wxl | i wonder | 23:39 |
| wxl | !wxpython | 23:39 |
| wxl | nope don't know anything about that but that's the one | 23:39 |
| wxl | or one of them | 23:39 |
| wxl | http://www.wxpython.org/what.php | 23:39 |
| ianorlin | !info wxpython | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Package wxpython does not exist in saucy | 23:39 |
| wxl | yeah i don't know | 23:40 |
| wxl | !info pi | 23:44 |
| ubottu | pi (source: cln): Compute Archimedes' constant Pi to arbitrary precision. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.3-1ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 6 kB, installed size 51 kB | 23:44 |
| wxl | oops! | 23:44 |
| wxl | !info pip | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Package pip does not exist in saucy | 23:44 |
| wxl | argh what's it called | 23:44 |
| wxl | !info python-pip | 23:44 |
| ubottu | python-pip (source: python-pip): alternative Python package installer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.1-2 (saucy), package size 305 kB, installed size 1435 kB | 23:44 |
| wxl | that one | 23:44 |
| wxl | get that | 23:44 |
| wxl | do sudo pip install wxPython | 23:45 |
| wxl | https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wxPython/2.9.1.1 | 23:45 |
| circ1 | the strange thing is that if i type ./test.py it works but if i double click and choose run in terminal then the terminal opens with nothing in it | 23:55 |
| wxl | probably a file association issue | 23:56 |
| circ1 | but i put #!/usr/bin/env python on top of file | 23:56 |
| wxl | i'm not in front of my lubuntu now but i'm thinking /etc/mailcap might help | 23:57 |
| wxl | you have it as a .sh? | 23:57 |
| ianorlin | make it a .py | 23:57 |
| wxl | well no | 23:57 |
| wxl | i was saying the .sh file association should be there | 23:58 |
| ianorlin | ah | 23:58 |
| wxl | if you run that with the #!/usr/bin/env python, it should run correctly | 23:58 |
| wxl | otherwise explicitly make an association for .py | 23:58 |
| wxl | you could right click and do open with another program, right? | 23:58 |
| ianorlin | I haven't done much with file association | 23:58 |
| wxl | i've only done with gui stuff, not necessarily scripting | 23:59 |
| circ1 | i made it executable and it appears green in terminal | 23:59 |
