| SchrodingersCat | what's a good partition scheme for an ssd? | 00:15 |
| SchrodingersCat | you're not supposed to use swap or journaling on those, right? | 00:17 |
| phillw | SchrodingersCat: there may be more upto date... but do have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives | 00:21 |
| SchrodingersCat | thanks | 00:22 |
| SchrodingersCat | how do I disable the blank-screen screensaver on thee live cd? | 00:23 |
| SchrodingersCat | i don't want to install unless i can get rid of that | 00:23 |
| SchrodingersCat | update: i think there is no screensaver control gui that i can easily find. | 00:27 |
| SchrodingersCat | i'm willing to be patient to wait for an answer, i know how irc works, but i just wanna make this clear: if it can't be disabled, i'm gonna have to find a distro that's usable | 00:37 |
| ianorlin | go into xfce power manager which looks like a battery | 01:03 |
| SchrodingersCat | did | 01:04 |
| ianorlin | by a right click prefrences and then click on prefrences | 01:04 |
| SchrodingersCat | "disabled" it there | 01:04 |
| SchrodingersCat | didn't work | 01:04 |
| ianorlin | this is 13.10 right? | 01:05 |
| SchrodingersCat | oh | 01:05 |
| SchrodingersCat | yes | 01:05 |
| SchrodingersCat | may have missed that part | 01:05 |
| koell | anything new in lubuntu for 14.04? | 01:05 |
| SchrodingersCat | where are you referring to? | 01:06 |
| SchrodingersCat | i can't find anything i didn't already turn off | 01:06 |
| SchrodingersCat | found something in xset | 01:10 |
| SchrodingersCat | so confusing | 01:11 |
| ianorlin | is this when you close the screen on a laptop? | 01:12 |
| SchrodingersCat | no | 01:12 |
| ianorlin | just when idle | 01:12 |
| SchrodingersCat | yes | 01:12 |
| SchrodingersCat | desktop monitor | 01:12 |
| ianorlin | do you have xscreensaver installed? | 01:13 |
| SchrodingersCat | no | 01:13 |
| SchrodingersCat | live cd didn't come with it | 01:13 |
| SchrodingersCat | i'm installing it now to see if it can stop this annoance | 01:14 |
| ianorlin | you don't really need the power manager for anything then do you | 01:14 |
| SchrodingersCat | not really | 01:14 |
| ianorlin | not this is under the monitor tab | 01:14 |
| SchrodingersCat | what monitor tab? | 01:15 |
| === io is now known as IdleOne | ||
| ianorlin | on the power manager | 01:17 |
| ianorlin | that is what you need to put to never | 01:17 |
| SchrodingersCat | i disabled everything it could possibly be in the power manager | 01:17 |
| SchrodingersCat | did that a while ago | 01:18 |
| SchrodingersCat | i finished installing xscreensaver | 01:21 |
| SchrodingersCat | set it to disable screensavr | 01:21 |
| SchrodingersCat | hopefully it will work now | 01:21 |
| SchrodingersCat | if it does, i'll do the install | 01:22 |
| ianorlin | can you pastebin your ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml | 01:22 |
| SchrodingersCat | not easily | 01:23 |
| ianorlin | !pastebinit | 01:24 |
| 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 | 01:24 |
| SchrodingersCat | 1 sec | 01:25 |
| ianorlin | it should have <property name="dpms-on-ac-sleep" type="uint" value="0"/> | 01:26 |
| ianorlin | and <property name="dpms-on-ac-off" type="uint" value="0"/> | 01:26 |
| SchrodingersCat | yes | 01:26 |
| SchrodingersCat | it's not the power manager | 01:27 |
| SchrodingersCat | i think it was a vestigial screensaver setting | 01:27 |
| SchrodingersCat | i mean, there seems to be an internal blank-only screensaver | 01:28 |
| SchrodingersCat | i bypassed it by installing and configuring xscreensaver | 01:28 |
| SchrodingersCat | it seems to be working now | 01:30 |
| ianorlin | ok that is good | 01:30 |
| SchrodingersCat | now to figure out partition options | 01:30 |
| SchrodingersCat | i have 8 gb of ram. do i need swap? | 01:37 |
| SchrodingersCat | (i have an ssd) | 01:37 |
| zsw_ | hello? | 01:48 |

| jedidiah_ | Anybody here familiar with Brother printers? | 02:57 |
| * ianorlin doesn't have one what problem are you having? | 02:57 | |
| jedidiah_ | I just got a printer and can't seem to get it to work. I tried installing the official drivers, and the machines seem to talk, but nothing prints | 02:59 |
| jedidiah_ | If I try printing something out the printer says it recieves the file, but never actually does anything with it. | 03:00 |
| leszek | hi | 10:21 |

| gomaaz | hi guys | 17:00 |
| gomaaz | Im trying to install lubuntu 13.10 with an alternate cd image text based on an apple ibook g3 dual usb | 17:03 |
| gomaaz | specs here: https://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/specs/ibook_500.html | 17:04 |
| gomaaz | installation went fine. | 17:04 |
| gomaaz | on startup -> yaboot asks to boot. lubuntu splash is showing up | 17:05 |
| gomaaz | after a while screen gets kind of distorted | 17:05 |
| gomaaz | looks like the resolution is set wrong OR the graphic card driver is not installed correctly (Ati rage 128 8MB here) | 17:06 |
| gomaaz | I'm new to linux btw :) | 17:06 |
| ianorlin | is it just the splash showing wrong? | 17:27 |
| gomaaz | guess not | 17:30 |
| gomaaz | or shure yeah | 17:30 |
| ianorlin | have you logged in? | 17:30 |
| gomaaz | the system should run behind it ;) | 17:30 |
| gomaaz | no i can't | 17:30 |
| gomaaz | cant see anything | 17:30 |
| gomaaz | blue screen | 17:31 |
| ianorlin | does pressing control alt f1 do anytihng? | 17:31 |
| gomaaz | nope | 17:31 |
| ianorlin | was the screen working before? | 17:32 |
| gomaaz | yes | 17:32 |
| gomaaz | https://www.dropbox.com/s/fy5p6hzabaob6fy/IMG_20140220_183124.jpg | 17:32 |
| gomaaz | there ya go | 17:32 |
| gomaaz | the lubuntu 13.10 claim is parted... | 17:32 |
| gomaaz | seems like graphic issue | 17:33 |
| ianorlin | yes it does | 17:33 |
| gomaaz | since i noticed xorg is not having its own directory anymore in /etc | 17:33 |
| gomaaz | i recreated X11/ an copied a config file from mac linux be | 17:33 |
| gomaaz | http://mac.linux.be/files/xorg/ibook1.txt | 17:34 |
| gomaaz | renamed it ofcourse in xorg.conf | 17:34 |
| gomaaz | but no difference | 17:34 |
| ianorlin | so it was working before? | 17:34 |
| ianorlin | to do that? | 17:34 |
| gomaaz | the screen was working before with another OS (apple and before that with ubuntu) | 17:36 |
| gomaaz | but drive has changed since then | 17:36 |
| ianorlin | which version of ubuntu? | 17:36 |
| ianorlin | hard drive? | 17:36 |
| gomaaz | dunno anymore sry :/ | 17:36 |
| gomaaz | I'm booting with the alternate cd into rescue mode. frome there I can start a shell in the root filesystem | 17:37 |
| holstein | gomaaz: vesa driver is what i always do to address that on my older G3 macs | 17:45 |
| holstein | gomaaz: you should clean out that xorg you made, and try something else | 17:46 |
| gomaaz | hm | 17:46 |
| holstein | or, run a headless server that doesnt require graphics | 17:46 |
| gomaaz | how can I prevent xorg to start at boot? | 17:47 |
| holstein | i just dont install it.. i run them headless now.. without x | 17:48 |
| gomaaz | ok but I have to to become a desktop ? | 17:48 |
| holstein | or, you could likely find an xorg.conf that would work for you | 17:48 |
| holstein | forcing the vesa driver | 17:48 |
| gomaaz | okey | 17:49 |
| holstein | gomaaz: you might want to consider what you are asking of the hardware, and have realistic expectations | 17:49 |
| gomaaz | vesa is responsive for ati carsds? | 17:49 |
| holstein | gomaaz: its not even so much the "age", but the support for the device | 17:49 |
| holstein | but, the vesa driver is the next thing to test, i suggest.. if you havent | 17:49 |
| gomaaz | I once had sucessfully booted into LXDE | 17:49 |
| holstein | gomaaz: vesa is what to use when nothing else workds | 17:50 |
| holstein | !vesa | 17:50 |
| ubottu | vesa is the default video driver if X can't find a better one. Also see !x | 17:50 |
| gomaaz | okey | 17:50 |
| gomaaz | nex question: how to install it? | 17:50 |
| holstein | gomaaz: you dont | 17:50 |
| holstein | gomaaz: its already installed | 17:50 |
| holstein | you just use an xorg.conf that specifies its use | 17:50 |
| gomaaz | Driver "vesa"? | 17:51 |
| holstein | yes.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270209 for example | 17:52 |
| holstein | im not suggesting that would work for your hardware. but, its likely a "better" place to start than the one you have | 17:52 |
| gomaaz | I also start with "nosplash" | 17:54 |
| gomaaz | so I can see what hes doing at startup | 17:54 |
| holstein | gomaaz: start how you please.. the issue is the graphics card not supporting linux, as i read | 17:55 |
| CrazyTB | Can I install Lubuntu from the command-line? | 17:59 |
| CrazyTB | I'm running the Live CD right now, but it seems the graphical installer is confused by GPT partitioning, so I'd like to have a bit more control over the installation. | 18:00 |
| ianorlin | there is the alternate installer | 18:00 |
| CrazyTB | ianorlin: do I need to burn another CD? Can I do it from the standard live CD? | 18:01 |
| holstein | CrazyTB: its a different iso | 18:01 |
| ianorlin | might need to burn another also do you have 32 or 64 bit cd ? | 18:01 |
| CrazyTB | I have the standard 64-bit Lubuntu 13.10 live cd | 18:03 |
| CrazyTB | Also, my laptop only supports UEFI, there is no option to legacy mode. | 18:03 |
| holstein | the standard one is just that.. standard. the alternate iso can be downloaded and offers the alternative installer | 18:03 |
| holstein | !uefi | 18:03 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 18:03 |
| holstein | !mini | 18:04 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:04 |
| holstein | ^ there are also those, which can be handy | 18:04 |
| CrazyTB | What is confusing me right now is that the installer wants me to select a device for boot loader installation. | 18:04 |
| CrazyTB | This thing seems to be heritage from legacy MBR, it does not make much sense in GPT/EFI. | 18:05 |
| holstein | all i can say is, nothing about ubuntu/linux is preventing things from working .. you might need to make changes in the bios to facilitate installation | 18:06 |
| pyros | My Lubuntu (12.04) won't boot. It gets stuck on the orange dots. There is data on the disk that I want to keep. Could I re-install lubuntu over the existing one? What would be the concequences? | 18:30 |
| pyros | p.s. I am currently using partition magic from a usb stick and can see my drive | 18:31 |
| ianorlin | reinstalling over existing one would lose data | 18:36 |
| ianorlin | do you have a place to back up your data? | 18:36 |
| STHGOM | AAAUUUGGGHHHH | 18:38 |
| pyros | Nope, not at the moment. | 18:39 |
| pyros | I was hoping I could just overwrite the OS and the data would remain :( | 18:39 |
| ianorlin | do you have a seperate /home partition? | 18:40 |
| pyros | no, its on the main partition. | 18:40 |
| pyros | But maybe I could make one since i'm in partition magic? | 18:41 |
| ianorlin | it is good to back up before shrinking partitions though | 18:41 |
| pyros | I see. Is there any obvious way to fix my existing install? | 18:43 |
| ianorlin | what were you doing before it went wrong? | 18:44 |
| pyros | Not much, but I just notices that I am out of space on the disk. I can free up a big chunk by deleting a virtual machine. I'm not yet sure if this will fix it, or maybe there are files missing that couldn't write during an update. | 18:45 |
| ianorlin | also then partition shrink won't really work as it is not free | 18:47 |
| ianorlin | can you try getting into recovery mode in grub? | 18:47 |
| ianorlin | !grub | 18:47 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 18:47 |
| pyros | I have two VMs I can delete, then shrink, start moving stuff over, and then shrink again. | 18:48 |
| pyros | I could be wrong (because i'm clueless about this), but I don't think it's an issue with the boot manager as it is managing to find Lubuntu okay... it has a blue lubuntu screen, then a black lubuntu screen, then hangs. | 18:49 |
| ianorlin | can you boot into recovery mode? | 18:49 |
| ianorlin | hold shift if not a dualboot | 18:50 |
| CrazyTB | Is there any way to save/read the (L)Ubuntu install log? | 18:50 |
| pyros | Not tried, but I can give that a go after I've free'd some space up. Will it help recover the OS? | 18:50 |
| CrazyTB | I want to save the messages to read later, to check if everything went fine. | 18:50 |
| pyros | CrazyTB: I can have a look, where abouts is it? | 18:51 |
| CrazyTB | That's my question, where is the log located? I want to just copy it. | 18:51 |
| pyros | I have access to the disk in media/sda1/ but I don't know which folder the log would be in. | 18:53 |
| Unit193 | CrazyTB: /var/log/installer/ iirc. | 18:53 |
| pyros | It contains casper.log debug initial-status.gz media-info partman syslog and version | 18:54 |
| pyros | shall I pastebin one of those? | 18:54 |
| CrazyTB | pyros: oops, I guess I accidentally looked like I was referring to you... sorry about that! | 18:55 |
| ianorlin | not sure that would help with full disk | 18:56 |
| pyros | CrazyTB: no worries! | 18:56 |
| pyros | ianorlin: thanks for your help. I'll free up some space and reboot. If that doesn't work I'll try holding shift for recovery mode. If I get nowhere with that I'll wait until I get another disk, rather than risk partition shrinking my SSD. Does that sound like the best plan? | 18:58 |
| ianorlin | yes | 18:59 |
| ianorlin | be careful when deleting though | 18:59 |
| pyros | Okay, thank you for all your help, it's much appreciated. You saved me from losing my data by attempting to re-install lubuntu over my existing copy. | 19:00 |
| ianorlin | You are welcome | 19:03 |
| Slit | Hello nice people. Could someone help me on how to add 1280x1024 screen resolution to xorg.conf? | 20:15 |
| Unit193 | Slit: Have you tried auto generating a xorg.conf file first? | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | !xorgconf | 20:16 |
| ubottu | The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. | 20:16 |
| Slit | I am in a specific position. holstein helped me. I have Powerpc mac mini, and I had problems with graphics. That is why I ahve xorg.conf | 20:17 |
| melodie | hi, is there a specific lubuntu-qa chan? | 20:18 |
| Unit193 | melodie: No. | 20:18 |
| melodie | ok Unit193 thanks | 20:18 |
| Unit193 | melodie: Best you have is either #ubuntu-quality or #lubuntu-offtopic | 20:18 |
| melodie | I have a message from french speaking buddies | 20:18 |
| melodie | no it is directly concerning lubuntu | 20:18 |
| Unit193 | melodie: Sending it to their mailing list might help. | 20:19 |
| melodie | they say there is a bad issue with chromium in lubuntu especially | 20:19 |
| melodie | Unit193 yes sure | 20:19 |
| Unit193 | Tell them to add more ram, it's chromium. | 20:19 |
| Unit193 | Slit: Right, PPC. Well that's fun. | 20:19 |
| holstein | Slit: did the vesa driver work? | 20:20 |
| melodie | Unit193 I try to bring him here | 20:20 |
| Slit | Unit193, it si fun as hell. Do you know how to add 1280x1024. I know mini can take it. | 20:21 |
| melodie | Unit193 it's a Lubuntu exclusive issue, all other distros don't meet with it | 20:21 |
| Slit | holstein my man :-) it worked fine, and wifi | 20:21 |
| holstein | Slit: cheers.. | 20:21 |
| Unit193 | melodie: That's not going to help if said person doesn't speak English. File a bug on launchpad. | 20:21 |
| melodie | Unit193 he speaks even better than myself he is very keen in english | 20:21 |
| Slit | holstein do you know it how to confugure? | 20:22 |
| caymus | hi | 20:22 |
| melodie | hi caymus | 20:23 |
| holstein | Slit: configure what? | 20:23 |
| melodie | Unit193 I just talked to you about caymus and his issue in Lubuntu with chromium | 20:23 |
| caymus | Do someone know what is happenig on lubuntu?, i have a strange problem, | 20:23 |
| holstein | caymus: i konw what is happening here on lubuntu.. what is happening to you on lubuntu? specifically? | 20:24 |
| caymus | i have ported one of my private Qt project form Qt 4.8 to Qt5.2 | 20:24 |
| Slit | holstein, I want to add 1280x1024 screen reolution t xorg.conf, because mini can take it. I tryed in live cd mode? | 20:24 |
| caymus | the problem is, my appli use 16TeraByte virtual memory | 20:24 |
| holstein | Slit: ok.. edit the xorg.conf.. back that one up,a nd you can always revert to it | 20:25 |
| holstein | Slit: try arandr | 20:25 |
| caymus | i have tested on kubuntu & ubuntu, no problem 600mb virtual memory | 20:25 |
| caymus | else tested on archlinux lxde, no problem also | 20:25 |
| caymus | & found this | 20:25 |
| caymus | http://list-archives.org/2013/12/14/lubuntu-users-lists-ubuntu-com/latest-chromium-browser-using-high-cpu-on-any-page/f/4524267073 | 20:25 |
| Slit | holstein, step by step. I will save xorg.conf to desktop for backup, and then what | 20:25 |
| caymus | same problem happen for Qt-bitcoin prject | 20:25 |
| holstein | caymus: its more likely you are on different versions | 20:26 |
| holstein | caymus: or example lubuntu 13.10, and kubuntu 12.04 | 20:26 |
| caymus | my privat Qt project have the same behaviour than this one chromium-browser user 11% 72.1MB 16777216.0 TB | 20:26 |
| melodie | holstein it would not explain why here chromium eats the whole ram and elsewhere it doesn't, would it? | 20:26 |
| caymus | 16 TeraByte virtual memory | 20:27 |
| Unit193 | Chromium is GTK, how would it even be related? | 20:27 |
| caymus | checked my code 8 hours | 20:27 |
| caymus | but it is happenig only on lubuntu | 20:27 |
| caymus | i dunno how | 20:27 |
| melodie | caymus do you mean "during 8 hours"? or do you mean "8 hours ago"? | 20:27 |
| melodie | caymus have you traced the parent processes? | 20:28 |
| caymus | but why on ubuntu & kubuntu , archlinux lxde this is repporting 600mb virtual memory | 20:28 |
| caymus | et only on lubuntu 16TeraBytes | 20:28 |
| caymus | i was unable to track the culprit lib but this is my little personnal project | 20:29 |
| caymus | http://178.32.44.120/shared/out.ogv | 20:29 |
| caymus | same behaviour for Qt-bitcoin & apparently for chromium related fro gtk? | 20:30 |
| Unit193 | I don't see how this is related at all. /usr/share/lubuntu/qt/Trolltech.conf only contains minimal config too. | 20:31 |
| caymus | holstein: i have tested on virtual machines | 20:31 |
| caymus | lubuntu 13.10 14.04 ubuntu 13.10 14.04 kubuntu 13.10 14.04 archlinux lxde kerenl 3.13 | 20:32 |
| caymus | the problem is recursive from lubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 | 20:32 |
| caymus | it is why i cannot track the problem also Unit193 | 20:33 |
| caymus | i dont understand why this is happening | 20:33 |
| caymus | 6 hours on valgrind to track problems but i cannot understand where is the problem | 20:34 |
| holstein | you are thinking its with lubuntu, correct? | 20:35 |
| holstein | and, only lubuntu.. not main ubuntu | 20:35 |
| caymus | yes i suspect, or a lib | 20:35 |
| caymus | yes | 20:35 |
| holstein | so, start looking at the differences between them | 20:35 |
| caymus | this is not happening on ubuntu unity or kde ubuntu | 20:35 |
| caymus | maybe a corrupted libQt? | 20:36 |
| holstein | caymus: what one? the repos are the same | 20:36 |
| holstein | caymus: if you are adding sources, you'll need to troubleshoot those | 20:36 |
| caymus | yes i know but this is only a question because after search on web i found same problem for chromium dev & Qt-bitcoin dev | 20:38 |
| caymus | et all are related to lubuntu only | 20:38 |
| caymus | this is out of my scope to debug this sorry | 20:38 |
| holstein | caymus: are they repo packages? | 20:39 |
| caymus | my appli is dev from myself | 20:39 |
| caymus | & compiled by myself | 20:39 |
| holstein | caymus: there are no lubuntu specific sources.. so, if they are repo pacakges, they should, or can become the same version | 20:39 |
| caymus | not from repos | 20:39 |

| wxl | ok kids i'm stuck with an apt issue i've never had before | 23:00 |
| wxl | apt-get update yields E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 23:00 |
| wxl | and that yields dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000' near line 0: EOF after field name `' | 23:01 |
| wxl | supposedly sudo dpkg --clear-avail should fix this but no dice | 23:01 |
| Unit193 | That indeed is new, what's in the file? | 23:02 |
| Unit193 | (Looks like nothing.) | 23:02 |
| wxl | it's empty | 23:02 |
| wxl | yep :) | 23:02 |
| wxl | good inference | 23:02 |
| * wxl pats Unit193 on the head | 23:02 | |
| Unit193 | Do I get a snack? So, remove the file. | 23:03 |
| wxl | well i think that's what clear-avail does | 23:03 |
| wxl | but i shall try that too | 23:03 |
| wxl | ah that did it | 23:04 |
| wxl | had to remove the whole of the updates subdirectory | 23:05 |
| wxl | weird tho | 23:05 |
| Unit193 | Might have been good to see if all were blank, but at least it's a-workin' | 23:07 |
| wxl | uh | 23:32 |
| wxl | maybe not | 23:32 |
| wxl | dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file for package 'procps' is missing final newline | 23:32 |
| wxl | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) | 23:32 |
