| roasted | phillw: I frequently use virtual machines. But virtual machines don't really replace physical hardware with things like "what will the system do when the power button is pressed" :) | 00:11 |

| xyzwhatever | hiii | 11:59 |
| xyzwhatever | by default there are only 2 desktops on lubuntu, how can I add more? | 11:59 |
| leszek | xyzwhatever: you can add more in the openbox configuration manager | 12:04 |
| leszek | alt+f2 obconf should start it | 12:04 |
| xyzwhatever | oh, thx it worked, even without restarting | 12:05 |
| simiant | i <3 lubuntu. so awesome. | 14:04 |
| simiant | having some difficulty getting my alfa usb wifi working in 13.04? i plug it in and nothing happens, no power or anything. I read its supported out of the box? I understand there are new drivers but i cant ge the card powered. USB stick works in same slot, and on windows same hardware | 14:12 |
| simiant | sorry 13.1 | 14:12 |
| holstein | 13.10* | 14:12 |
| simiant | lol | 14:12 |
| holstein | keep in mind, unless the unit specifically states linux support, it may not be possible to make it work | 14:13 |
| simiant | holstein, this is the "legendary" AWUS036H Alfa...? | 14:13 |
| simiant | allegedly works on everything ... ? | 14:13 |
| holstein | that being said, what i usually do is.. test the device on other supported hardware with a supported operating system to make sure the device is functioning properly | 14:13 |
| holstein | simiant: ? | 14:13 |
| simiant | holstein, done windows 7 check | 14:14 |
| simiant | the alfa is a b/g external wifi adapter known for its.. loose.. properties..? | 14:14 |
| holstein | ok.. then, does the usb work on the hardware in question.. test some things on the machine and see if the USB/motherboard is supporting linux | 14:14 |
| simiant | holstein, yes USB storage works in the USB port | 14:14 |
| simiant | you know out of an abundance of caution i am going to reboot real quick holstein .. i be right back | 14:15 |
| holstein | then, i would plug the device in, and run "lsusb" and/or "lspci" and see if the device is showing in linux at all | 14:15 |
| holstein | *then* taking the chipset information, i would look for driver information | 14:15 |
| holstein | simiant: there is no device like that.. only chipsets | 14:15 |
| simiant | i brb to do that exact thing | 14:16 |
| simiant | hey holstein , ashamaed to say it was a loose usb plug. an elastic fixed it. sorry | 14:40 |
| simiant | what was the command to check which drivers are being used? | 14:40 |
| simiant | lsusb? | 14:40 |
| holstein | simiant: its not to check that.. its to check the chipsets, and hardware information | 14:44 |
| holstein | lspci -vv might give you module/driver loaded information | 14:44 |
| simiant | is there a fix for the no lock screen bug mentioned here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxsession/+bug/1205384 | 15:03 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1205384 in lxsession (Ubuntu) "Lock can be circumvented by switching to console" [High,In progress] | 15:03 |
| simiant | i guess not ubottu | 15:03 |
| simiant | goddamn thats weak sauce right there | 15:03 |
| simiant | will installing light-dm resolve this no locking bug? | 15:05 |
| bjorn_ | hi, I first installed ubuntu with a encryption on hard drive, then changed my mind and wanted lubuntu instead. Now I cant install lubuntu witch encryption. It says that something is wrong with the swap or something like that. How can I reset my hard drive to "pre encryption" phase to reinstall with encryption? | 18:17 |

| me_ | is anyone on this channel? | 22:32 |
| me_ | Is anyone here to talk to? | 22:54 |
| pleia2 | me_: this is a support channel, folks talk when there are support questions :) you're welcome to ask | 22:55 |
| ianorlin | there is also #lubuntu-offtopic | 22:56 |
| ianorlin | for offtopic things like general chat | 22:56 |
| me_ | Well, no one is on Peppermint, and Ubuntu can't help, and Linux channel won't work for me. I have Peppermint 3, and it already has a flashplayer set up when I downloaded it. I have only 500mb of memory on this old computer. I did have Antix, but it's a bit hard to use, so I thought to go with Peppermint. Youtube videos are a bit choppy, so I wondered if there's a way to get an earlier version of flash like what Antix does for old computers? | 22:58 |
| ianorlin | are you using firefox as there is a an html 5 extensiion if that works better | 23:02 |
| me_ | no, I was using chromium. Does Firefox work better? | 23:03 |
| me_ | I can get it from software and try it. | 23:03 |
| ianorlin | there is an extension for chrome as well | 23:04 |
| Unit193 | me_: Peppermint support is in #peppermintOS on spotchat, this is the Lubuntu channel for support with the Lubuntu operating system. | 23:04 |
| me_ | o.k. thanks you all. | 23:04 |
| Unit193 | Best bet is asking in their channel, then waiting a few minutes to a couple hours. | 23:05 |
