[00:11] <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] <roasted> but thanks for your assistance
[11:59] <xyzwhatever> hiii
[11:59] <xyzwhatever> by default there are only 2 desktops on lubuntu, how can I add more?
[12:04] <leszek> xyzwhatever: you can add more in the openbox configuration manager
[12:04] <leszek> alt+f2 obconf should start it
[12:05] <xyzwhatever> oh, thx it worked, even without restarting
[14:04] <simiant> i <3 lubuntu. so awesome.
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <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: ?
[14:14] <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
[14:15] <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
[14:16] <simiant>  i brb to do that exact thing
[14:40] <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?
[14:44] <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
[15:03] <simiant> is there a fix for the no lock screen bug mentioned here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxsession/+bug/1205384
[15:03] <simiant> i guess not ubottu
[15:03] <simiant> goddamn thats weak sauce right there
[15:05] <simiant> will installing light-dm resolve this no locking bug?
[18:17] <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?
[22:32] <me_> is anyone on this channel?
[22:54] <me_> Is anyone here to talk to?
[22:55] <pleia2> me_: this is a support channel, folks talk when there are support questions :) you're welcome to ask
[22:56] <ianorlin> there is also #lubuntu-offtopic
[22:56] <ianorlin> for offtopic things like general chat
[22:58] <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?
[23:02] <ianorlin> are you using firefox as there is a an html 5 extensiion if that works better
[23:03] <me_> no, I was using chromium. Does Firefox work better?
[23:03] <me_> I can get it from software and try it.
[23:04] <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.
[23:05] <Unit193> Best bet is asking in their channel, then waiting a few minutes to a couple hours.
