| andres_ | thanks :D | 03:33 |
| pvl1 | hey all, mute button mutes, but fails to unmute. its because i have 5.1 hooked up, i know that | 04:25 |
| lolita | I have a rather annoying question about wireless connection. Can anyone lend a hand? | 08:50 |
| lolita | I downloaded Lubuntu 10.3 onto what was originally a Windows XP laptop, and it went smoothly. However, Network Manager has vanished and refuses to install. | 08:52 |
| lolita | From the Terminal it is also unable to identify the firmware-b43-installer. What gives? | 08:53 |

| eletious | Hello | 19:17 |
| eletious | ... I am having some issues with Chromium... most pages crash | 19:18 |
| eletious | including the help page | 19:18 |
| ianorlin | what does it say when crashing its dead jim? | 19:18 |
| eletious | "Aw, Snap!" | 19:22 |
| eletious | "Something went wrong while displaying this webpage. To continue, reload or go to another page." | 19:23 |
| eletious | the "suggestions" just takes me to a support page that does the same thing | 19:23 |
| eletious | oddly enough, the extensions store and 4chan work just fine | 19:23 |
| ianorlin | what version of lubuntu? | 19:33 |
| eletious | 13.04 | 19:37 |
| eletious | just installed | 19:38 |
| vn151502510 | could try `chromium-browser --disable-plugins` | 19:40 |
| ewout | I'm running chromium on a old Pentium III laptop and it's extremly slow, any suggestions on making it less cpu and resource intensive? | 19:43 |
| wxl | eletious: also might want to look at your memory | 19:43 |
| eletious | wxl: what about my memory? | 19:44 |
| wxl | ewout: don't use chromium! or at least don't use the plugins. or use xombrero/xxxterm. maybe a wee less userfriendly but a lot more better with resources | 19:44 |
| wxl | eletious: sometimes those warnings pop up because you lack enough memory to complete the task the plugin is trying to do, i.e. you might want to add some memory. | 19:45 |
| eletious | considering this is a fresh install on a 16GB flash drive with 1G swap, on an AMD E450 with 4GB of RAM | 19:45 |
| wxl | eletious: let me rephase: free memory | 19:45 |
| eletious | meaning unused | 19:45 |
| eletious | but Chromium and Xchat are the only two things running | 19:46 |
| eletious | and it happens no matter the number of tabs running | 19:46 |
| ewout | Thanks wxl, i'll look into xombrero :) | 19:46 |
| ewout | Does it have decent HTML5 support? | 19:46 |
| wxl | ewout: it's probably not going to be as great as chromium or firefox, but it will handle most things well | 19:47 |
| ewout | Thanks aqain! :) | 19:47 |
| wxl | np | 19:47 |
| eletious | so... nothin? | 19:53 |

| Slit_ | Hi! I have mac mini power pc. Can someone tell me how to install ati graphic card for that machine. Now I use vesa xorg.conf | 20:55 |
| phillw | Slit_: have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Configure_graphics | 21:09 |
| Slit_ | When I type this: Linux video=ofonly in boot screen then it looks like that everything is working. But that is just for one sesion. After rebooting, then graphic again isn't working | 21:11 |
| ianorlin | Slit_: in grub when booting | 21:12 |
| Slit_ | I think so ianorlin | 21:13 |
| ianorlin | oh did you see the part on how do I make a yaboot parameter permenant on the FAQ? | 21:19 |
| Slit_ | Yes, but I don't have yaboot.conf on my computer. That is, i can't finde it | 21:20 |
| Slit_ | This ppc is terrible | 21:28 |
| wxl | Slit_: did you look in /boot? | 21:28 |
| wxl | Slit_: er sorry, /etc/yaboot.conf -- if it's not there, you can always create it (it should be there). here's an example: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1798792&page=3&p=11108858#post11108858 | 21:30 |
| wxl | Slit_: here's lots of info, too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=994882 | 21:30 |
| wxl | Slit_: don't forget to use ybin when you're done editing! | 21:31 |
| wxl | Slit_: also, linux on ppc is not easy. but outside of bsd, there's little hope for the machine otherwise. | 21:31 |
| Slit_ | wxl It is in etc folder :-) I don't know wy computer didn't finde it when I serch for it | 21:32 |
| wxl | Slit_: sudo find / -iname yaboot.conf should have got you there | 21:33 |
| Slit_ | Yes, Linux is the last hope | 21:33 |
| Slit_ | No wxl, I open PCMan, teh search | 21:33 |
| wxl | Slit_: or bsd, as i said. there are bsds that actually support ppc. with linux, it's community supported, which is to say, generally unsupported. | 21:33 |
| wxl | Slit_: oh, well, that's the unfun way ;) | 21:33 |
| Slit_ | bsd? | 21:34 |
| wxl | Slit_: unit | 21:34 |
| Slit_ | Never tryed | 21:34 |
| wxl | s/unit/unix/g | 21:34 |
| wxl | Slit_: openbsd, freebsd, and especially netbsd (which claims it can pretty much run on anything) are all good choices | 21:34 |
| wxl | Slit_: freebsd is the core of os x, albeit tweaked by apple | 21:35 |
| wxl | Slit_: there are many similarities between linux and unix and also many tiny annoying differences so if you're already used to linux, i'd try to stick with it | 21:35 |
| wxl | Slit_: i'd say package management, for one, is a lot more user friendly on linux | 21:36 |
| Slit_ | I don't know, I tought ubuntu is more supported. Tell me wxl, what sholud I do, when I open yaboot.conf. Yes I would like to stick to lubuntu for now | 21:36 |
| wxl | Slit_: ppc is only community supported on ubuntu. it is not officially supported. | 21:37 |
| wxl | Slit_: you have a line under the image section that starts with append=? | 21:37 |
| Slit_ | yes I notice | 21:37 |
| Slit_ | Yes, ther is append to times | 21:38 |
| wxl | Slit_: so at the end of that line (before the quote) add a space and enter in video=ofonly" | 21:38 |
| wxl | i assume one of them is using vmlinux.old. if so, you can just repeat the options on both | 21:38 |
| Slit_ | yes wmlinux.old is one. | 21:39 |
| Slit_ | Colud you copy past wxl | 21:40 |
| Slit_ | :-) | 21:40 |
| Slit_ | don't want to screw somthing | 21:40 |
| wxl | Slit_: i don't have a present example on my own ppc machine | 21:41 |
| wxl | Slit_: but if you had append="root=/dev/sda4 ro quiet splash" you would change it to append="root=/dev/sda4 ro quiet splash video=ofonly" | 21:41 |
| wxl | Slit_: in other words, keep what was there but add to the end | 21:41 |
| Slit_ | append="quiet splash video=ofonly" is this ok | 21:41 |
| wxl | yes | 21:42 |
| Slit_ | What sholud I do with xorg.conf | 21:42 |
| wxl | for the time being nothing | 21:42 |
| wxl | i would sort of go through the FAQ sequentially | 21:43 |
| wxl | do what you need only | 21:43 |
| Slit_ | Ok | 21:43 |
| Slit_ | I wil reboot now? To see if everything works | 21:44 |
| Slit_ | Ok? | 21:44 |
| wxl | yep | 21:44 |
| Slit_ | see you in a minute | 21:44 |
| Slit | wxl, nothing happend | 21:48 |
| wxl | Slit: ah, i forgot to ask, did you use ybin? | 21:48 |
| Slit | No | 21:49 |
| wxl | Slit: that's the problem. double check /etc/yaboot.conf and see if your video=ofonly is still there | 21:49 |
| Slit | yes it is there | 21:50 |
| wxl | Slit: now do "sudo ybin -v" | 21:50 |
| wxl | Slit: and then restart | 21:50 |
| Slit | Ok, I did it. Now reboot agian | 21:50 |
| Slit | see you in minute | 21:50 |
| wxl | k | 21:51 |
| Slit_ | wxl, I am not sure if it is working. After I reboot it. I get something new in Monitor seting. Option for DVI. That is good. But no option to set on higher resolution. Second, my machine foroze, so I have to reboot again and now I am here | 22:00 |
| wxl | Slit_: where did it freeze? | 22:00 |
| Slit_ | Everything forze. i coludn't move mouse, use keybord etc... | 22:01 |
| Slit_ | When I enter in Lubuntu | 22:01 |
| Slit_ | I tryed to go on Internet | 22:01 |
| Slit_ | Now it is a bit, how do you say, laggy | 22:02 |
| wxl | Slit_: the curious thing about this is that putting video=ofonly in yaboot.conf is the same as putting it in the grub line | 22:03 |
| wxl | Slit_: so honestly it's probably unreleated | 22:03 |
| wxl | Slit_: you should use the process manager and see what's consuming the resources | 22:04 |
| Slit_ | wxl, can we undo what we did. Again, mac mini froze | 22:11 |
| Slit_ | now I am on my windows machine | 22:11 |
| Slit_ | wxl, are you here? | 22:18 |
| ianorlin | does control alt f1 drop you into a log in for a terminal on the mac mini? | 22:23 |
| ianorlin | or was it at boot? | 22:24 |
| Slit_ | ianorlin don't know. I delete what I add in yaboot.conf | 22:26 |
| Slit_ | the I reboote few times. Now it looks alright | 22:26 |
| Slit_ | It froze agine ianorlin | 22:35 |
| ianorlin | Was this mac mini given enough air and everything else are you sure it is not an overheating problem | 22:36 |
| ianorlin | did it go longer the first time? | 22:36 |
| ianorlin | does the fan run? | 22:37 |
| Slit_ | No i think it is yaboot. Now I will enter again sudo ybin -v | 22:38 |
| ianorlin | ok | 22:38 |
| trickyhero | hey guys coming from 14.04! | 23:36 |
| greeter | nice | 23:37 |
| trickyhero | the workspace switcher looks pretty buggy, but I like that hexchat is included in the repos now, (idk when it was added) | 23:37 |
| greeter | is 14.04 stable? (complete newbie to lubuntu) | 23:37 |
| trickyhero | I just got on it, but no major changes are happening so I think it's pretty stable | 23:37 |
| greeter | hmm. i wonder if there's a command line option to upgrade to it | 23:38 |
| trickyhero | all the dev work on LXDE switched to LXQT so 14.04 is pretty simular | 23:38 |
| Unit193 | Not quite, pcmanfm just had a nice big release. | 23:38 |
| Unit193 | greeter: It's not considered "stable" yet, though it might be for some. | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | greeter: do-release-upgrade -d | 23:39 |
| greeter | oh i see. hmm, i'll have to remember that for when the next stable release is out | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | -d = development release. | 23:39 |
| greeter | since my cd drive broke since installing lubuntu it isn't really an option to set it up that way | 23:39 |
| greeter | ok, so if i want the next stable release (when it's available) i'd omit -d? | 23:40 |
| Unit193 | Yes. | 23:40 |
| trickyhero | I used a usb drive | 23:40 |
| greeter | ok cool... hope i'm smart enough to read the topic | 23:40 |
| greeter | did you boot from the usb drive? | 23:40 |
| trickyhero | yup | 23:40 |
| greeter | ah. my computer is so old i don't think that's an option | 23:40 |
| trickyhero | I actually had to use my raspberrypi to make the usb since my normal computer was messedup :p | 23:41 |
| greeter | lol i see... well i'm hoping this one doesn't get messed up... | 23:42 |
| greeter | to re-install lubuntu i'd have to take it apart, then put in a cd/dvd drive temporarily, then run it in that kind of disassembled condition until the install is done | 23:42 |
| greeter | i'd remove the broken cd drive myself and replace it, but that can only be done if i remove the power supply and i'm not skilled enough to do that | 23:42 |
| trickyhero | also this just happened on first run of firefox: | 23:43 |
| trickyhero | oh no it didn't copy | 23:43 |
| trickyhero | something about a python3 thing being out of date | 23:43 |
| greeter | i had issues with the latest firefox updates too. firefox always crashed. i switched to chromium | 23:43 |
| greeter | have issues with audacity i can't track down either since reinstalling lubuntu | 23:44 |
| greeter | ran fine the first time i installed lubuntu. but now if i try to run it i get a bus error :-S | 23:45 |
| trickyhero | ouch | 23:45 |
| wxl | greeter: what audio server you using? | 23:45 |
| greeter | alsa | 23:45 |
| wxl | greeter: on what lubuntu version? | 23:45 |
| greeter | 13.10 | 23:45 |
| wxl | hm | 23:46 |
| wxl | works for me | 23:46 |
| greeter | i was told that bus errors can be hardware issues. the only difference in hardware is i switched hard drives. the one i originally installed on decided it was going to die | 23:46 |
| wxl | might be an issue with the soundcard that maybe didn't reveal its ugly head until something in alsa and/or audacity | 23:46 |
| wxl | and/or the audio driver itself | 23:47 |
| greeter | perhaps... i'll try reinstalling it, sometimes that magically fixes things | 23:47 |
| wxl | could also be some configuration file thing | 23:47 |
| wxl | i.e. you tweaked something | 23:47 |
| greeter | maybe... | 23:47 |
| wxl | might want to reset the configs and see if that helps | 23:47 |
| trickyhero | anyone else see the workspace indicator be really wonky? It's blue and highlighted on my first desktop then when I switch it's not and when I switch back it's still blank until I switch focus to another window | 23:47 |
| greeter | the only time i ever saw a bus error was when i compiled sample c/asm code that was deliberately designed to trigger one | 23:48 |
| greeter | a reinstall fixed it :-D i'm pleased | 23:48 |
| wxl | cool | 23:48 |
| wxl | audacity is not without its bugs fwiw | 23:49 |
| wxl | it occassionally crashes on me | 23:49 |
| wxl | honestly i think the issue is memory management but that's just me | 23:49 |
| greeter | possibly. first time i ever had issues with it specifically... tried a source compile but make ran into errors :-s | 23:49 |
| trickyhero | endedup installing midori since firefox just won't run | 23:54 |
| greeter | i find with firefox it's probably best not to get the absolute latest updates. but maybe that's just me and this ancient computer i'm running it on lol | 23:57 |
