[03:09] <Osmodivs> hello. I am using Lubuntu 12.04 32 bits. For some strange reason my mouse started to act weird. It moves on its own, I can barely navigate on the screen, automatically keeps opening menus like if I was using the right button, it is not the ouse because I have tried another mouse and still behaves this weird, I have rebooted a couple of times with hope the problem would just dissapear, but no. Any way to find out whats goi
[03:09] <Osmodivs> n on?
[03:11] <holstein> Osmodivs: technically, lubuntu 12.04 is not an LTS
[03:11] <Osmodivs> holstein, So.. Am I screwd?
[03:11] <holstein> what i would do is, try and confirm that its not hardware.. motherboard, etc
[03:12] <holstein> then, i would try a live CD and remove the installed OS from the equation
[03:13] <Osmodivs> you mean a fresh install?
[03:13] <holstein> Osmodivs: what i mean is, run the live CD
[03:13] <holstein> Osmodivs: test with the live CD.. not the installed operating system
[03:13] <Osmodivs> oh,ok
[03:13] <holstein> Osmodivs: if the mouse is still "odd" with a live CD, then, you can stop messing with the current lubuntu 12.04 to "fix" something
[03:14] <holstein> preferrably, it would be the same installation media you used in the first place, since you know how that used to support that hardware
[03:15] <Osmodivs> holstein, All I have is a Opneartist Live USB stick, but I think is a way to test
[03:15] <Osmodivs> I'll be right back.
[03:15] <holstein> Osmodivs: as long as it *has* supported that hardware before
[03:27] <fishcooker> hello there.. im new on lubuntu
[03:33] <fishcooker> there is some process that i want  to disable .. i try it from update-rc.d but no luck
[03:33] <fishcooker> the process still up and running
[03:36] <hero> y
[03:36] <hero> Is my rdwareha
[03:36] <hero> hardware
[03:36] <hero> I am ouse moy  and mCDe n a Liv
[03:37] <fishcooker> what happen hero
[03:37] <fishcooker> ?
[03:37] <hero> I am in a LiveCD and my mouse queeps acting weird
[03:37] <hero> Yep, my hardware is f*****up
[03:38] <hero> And I was blaming Lubuntu >D
[03:38] <Unit193> fishcooker: What application?  There's also a "Services and Startup" in the preferences.
[03:38] <fishcooker> mouse usb?
[03:39] <fishcooker> yes Unit193 bluetootd still up and running also modem manager
[03:39] <fishcooker> i don't use it at all
[03:39] <hero> Weird thing is, the PS2 conection and a wireless begave the same, as if the whole MoBo got possesed by a virus
[03:39] <fishcooker> would you try usb mouse, hero?
[03:40] <hero> fishcooker, Already did, a Wirelss and a PS2
[03:40] <fishcooker> ypbind cups also
[03:40] <hero> Maybe after I downloaded the Box and Icon theme...
[03:41] <hero> I dont know, there  is malware out there...
[03:41] <fishcooker> if you have problem about hardware try to update the newest kernel first
[03:41] <hero> fishcooker, I might do that
[03:41] <fishcooker> im using lubuntu for command line only Unit193
[03:41] <Unit193> Ah, I see.
[03:41] <fishcooker> that's why i want to disable unused those process
[03:42] <hero> fishcooker, Well, I need a mouse for 3d modeling in Blender :(
[03:42] <hero> oh... you where talking to Unit193
[03:42] <hero> :D
[03:43] <Unit193> fishcooker: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/modemmanager.conf.override
[03:43] <Unit193> (Don't know what bluetooth uses, don't have it.)
[03:47] <fishcooker> what's that command for , Unit193
[03:47] <fishcooker> i don't have modem*manager file
[03:48] <Unit193> That sets the upstart job to be started manually rather than automatic.
[03:48] <fishcooker> ok ic
[03:48] <fishcooker> but how about bluetoothd?
[03:49] <fishcooker> also ypbind
[03:50] <Unit193> I don't have those so don't know what they use.  Chance  you can just remove?
[03:50] <fishcooker> i will
[03:51] <fishcooker> how about you hero
[03:51] <hero> fishcooker, What about me?
[03:53] <fishcooker> have u update your kernel..
[03:54] <fishcooker> or just reinstall it for instant solution
[03:54] <fishcooker> because you said that your mouse had worked before, right?
[03:54] <hero> fishcooker, well, I guess the reinstalation is the solution since I upgraded the kernel like a day ago
[03:54] <hero> I dunno, it must be the hardware
[03:55] <fishcooker> if wireless/ps2 doesnt work just buy the "cheap" usb mouse
[03:55] <fishcooker> :-D
[03:55] <hero> first I break 13.10 64 bits and now this 12.04, this was my last HDD
[03:55] <fishcooker> i stay with 12.04
[03:56] <fishcooker> for stability and "long life"support
[03:56] <hero> I'll wait for 14.04 to do a fresh install, I'll retir from PC for a few months
[06:01] <lancelot_> Hello, I can't acces youtube neither from chromium nor firefox...
[06:02] <lancelot_> Do you know how to solve it?
[06:24] <Noskcaj> lancelot_, try #ubuntu
[06:24] <lancelot_> Ok...
[06:25] <Unit193> Noskcaj: Could at least ask if he has flash...
[06:26] <Noskcaj> Unit193, good point, but i'm not paying enough attention to irc to helo
[06:26] <Noskcaj> *help
[06:26] <Noskcaj> lancelot_, Do you have flash player installed?
[06:27] <lancelot_> I seem to have it, because dailymotion.com is displaying a video...
[06:27] <lancelot_> With no problem.
[06:27] <lancelot_> What happens is that I cannot enter youtube at all
[06:28] <lancelot_> Firefox can't find the server at www.youtube.com
[06:28] <Noskcaj> oh. I think it might be blocked for some reason then
[06:28] <lancelot_> chromium: This webpage is not available
[06:28] <lancelot_> Strange.
[07:19] <lancelot_> Noskaj, I got it, Rikai at computerhope solved it.It had to do with DNS.It's seems to be a bug on Lubuntu 13.10, and maybe Ubuntu too.
[07:25] <Unit193> Wouldn't that be more with your ISP?
[07:25] <Unit193> Using Google's DNS now?
[07:41] <lancelot_> Unit, I really don't know, Rikai from computer hope guided me trough that.
[07:46] <lancelot_> Unit193, I did nano /etc/resolv.conf
[07:47] <lancelot_> And then changed the dns address and got it working.I've been asking this many times here and in ubuntu and no one knew or answered.
[07:47] <Unit193> So you changed your nameserver, but that's not going to stay changed because Ubuntu (And Lubuntu) use resolvconf.
[07:48] <lancelot_> Oh, so maybe after a system restart I get the problem again?
[07:49] <Unit193> (To do that you'd need to hit the "edit" button on the network icon and change it to DHCP for "Addresses only", and enter the DNS server there.)
[07:49] <Unit193> Likely, if your default DNS server has issues.
[07:50] <lancelot_> Ok...I'll take that in count.
[07:52] <lancelot_> Can't find that, Unit193.
[07:53] <Unit193> Network icon -> Edit, then select your connection and hit Edit, switch to IPv4 settings, select DCHP (Addresses only) and change DNS Servers.
[07:54] <lancelot_> Got it, Unit193.
[07:54] <lancelot_> I hope it works..
[17:58] <Waltraud> Hello! i updated from lubuntu 12.10 to 13.10 - now i cannot change my wallpaper nor do i see any of the items in ~/Desktop. Also, lxpanel does not start at login (had to put it in autostart manually).
[17:58] <Waltraud> i've tried reinstalling lxde lxappearance and such...
[19:08] <ianorlin> to chnage wallpaper there is pcmanfm --desktop-pref from the terminal or menu prefrences desktop prefrences you can also ues pcmanfm -w file if you have a specific picture you want to use
[19:09] <ianorlin> did you log into openbox is my other question as that just has a black wallpaper
[19:09] <ianorlin> and no panel by defualt
[19:57] <phillw1> Waltraud: there is no upgrade route from 12/10 to 13.10, you HAVE to go 12.10 --> 13.04 --> 13.10. If the machine is unhappy, that will most likely be why.
[20:04] <Guest12390i> Hello
[20:04] <Guest12390i> i would need your help
[20:05] <Guest12390i> Iam using the newest lubuntu version for a few days now but today i restartet and it just loads to the splash screen with the dots
[20:05] <Guest12390i> an doesnt makes more just moving the dots
[20:05] <Guest12390i> when i press f1 the last thing it sayss is something like "restore solver state"
[20:05] <Guest12390i> btw im using a lubuntu live cd atm
[20:05] <phillw> Guest12390i: use alt-F1 to get to terminal
[20:06] <Guest12390i> oh okay
[20:06] <Guest12390i> can i install irssi there and come back here?
[20:06] <Guest12390i> or its just a limited terminal?
[20:06] <phillw> re-boot, use that to get to terminal and issue a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:07] <Guest12390i> ok i try
[20:07] <Guest12390i> brb
[20:07] <phillw> if you cannot get past boot, it depends on the error....
[20:21] <darktomas> Re
[20:21] <darktomas> <--- Guest12390i
[20:21] <phillw> darktomas: you back all updated? :)
[20:22] <darktomas> phillw: Thanks for the alt f1 thing i tryd what you said it just updatet dropbox
[20:22] <phillw> darktomas: when using trial builds, please do be careful not to accept partial updates!
[20:22] <darktomas> i looked again what happend when i opressed f1 in the splashscreen there was 2 fails 1 at "lightdm" the second at "plymouth"
[20:23] <darktomas> the last thing it was doing was stopping mount network filesystem
[20:23] <phillw> darktomas: one other strong word of advice..... make home a seperate partition!
[20:23] <darktomas> phillw: im a linux beginner sry which trialbuild you mean?
[20:24] <darktomas> phillw: ok :( i think its too late now
[20:24] <phillw> darktomas: which newest version? 13.10 release has some glitches :)
[20:24] <darktomas> ah okay
[20:25] <phillw> but making a seprate home is not too difficult... just a little involved.
[20:25] <darktomas> i installed a few desktop envoirements (xubuntu , kubuntu ,cinamon) and uninstalled them maybe there happend an error?
[20:25] <darktomas> *problem
[20:26] <darktomas> can i look into some logfile?
[20:26] <phillw> who know... but having a /home on a different partition does make trying things much easier :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[20:27] <darktomas> oh sry i forgot to say im in the terminal it still want boot
[20:27] <phillw> All people who like to 'tinker' get one.... It is part of the debian installer, but not ubuntu.
[20:28] <phillw> darktomas: then how did you launch IRC chat?
[20:28] <darktomas> phillw: like you said alt f1 then i installed irrsi
[20:29] <darktomas> irssi*
[20:29] <phillw> have you done sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:29] <darktomas> phillw: yes
[20:29] <darktomas> and then rebootet nothing
[20:30] <phillw> try startlubuntu
[20:30] <darktomas> ok wait
[20:31] <darktomas> phillw: command not found
[20:32] <darktomas> phillw: oh my fail i tried sudo startlubuntu
[20:32] <darktomas> phillw: without sudo it says i have to install lubuntu-default-settings
[20:32] <darktomas> i try
[20:33] <phillw> does startx work ?
[20:33] <darktomas> hm okay it says i have the newest version already
[20:33] <darktomas> phillw: no i get an blackscreen and then i cant do anything
[20:34] <darktomas> i have to restart then to start alt - f1 terminal again
[20:41] <phillw> darktomas: sorry, sister was on phone
[20:42] <phillw> I'm running 14.04, so have no real experience of 13.10
[20:42] <darktomas_> phillw: im in lxde now :d
[20:43] <darktomas_> :D*
[20:43] <phillw> an improvement :)
[20:44] <darktomas_> phillw: i tried sudo lxdm that worked
[20:44] <phillw> darktomas do have a look at making a seperate /home partition... You've already shown that you like to tinker :)
[20:45] <phillw> darktomas do that, and then ping me on #phillw and I'll tell you the simple steps to upgrade to 14.04 test version..... I know you'll love it!
[20:45] <darktomas_> phillw: yea but first i try to understand why i have no sound
[20:46] <darktomas_> phillw: okay
[20:47] <phillw> sound issues are usually driver related... as 14.04 is so close we are busy on that. put 14.04 onto your machne once you have /home partition
[20:49] <phillw> running around solving 13.10 issues, at this stage is wasteful..... popping on 14.04 will support you for 5 years, although, knowing the little I do..... You will be playing with lubuntu 14.10 :)
[20:49] <darktomas_> phillw: okay
[20:51] <phillw> darktomas do https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving then just ping me... Oh, and as the borg say 'You will be assimilated, resistance is futile' :)
[20:52] <phillw> I have a reboor to do, then s suite of tests to carry out for 14.04 lubuntu.
