| mikubuntu | help! trying to get this box ready for a flight in the morning, and after installing lub 13.10 386 i cant get it to detect wireless signal .. any idea what might be wrong | 04:52 |

| Unit193 | What chipset? (Also, 14.04 is current.) | 04:53 |
| Unit193 | `lspci` should say. Also, if you have an ethernet cord, you should be able to use Additional Drivers to pull in the driver. | 04:54 |
| ianorlin | is this the nm-applet not being in panel? | 04:54 |
| mikubuntu | Unit193: thx lemme try additional drivers | 04:58 |
| mikubuntu | upgrading to 14.04 and broadcom card now working ... its possible this could fly | 05:07 |

| holstein | ReggieMan: did you? | 16:18 |
| ReggieMan | Yes. | 16:18 |
| holstein | ReggieMan: i would close *everything*.. any package management applications.. open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update" and report errors.. | 16:19 |

| holstein | ReggieMan: so, no errors, then.. | 16:24 |
| ReggieMan | Mhm. | 16:24 |
| holstein | ReggieMan: i would run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 16:24 |
| ReggieMan | holstein: I didn't see any errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/7510971/ | 16:41 |
| ReggieMan | Software Updater still gives me the same message. Should I restart now that I've done that upgrade? | 16:41 |
| holstein | !raring | 16:41 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring | 16:41 |
| holstein | ReggieMan: raring is EOL | 16:41 |
| holstein | ReggieMan: you'll want to upgrade to 14.04, trusty | 16:41 |
| ReggieMan | Hmm. Yeah, this hasn't been upgraded properly in a while. How do I go about getting the current version? | 16:42 |
| holstein | !install | 16:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 16:42 |

| holstein | i prefer backing up data and fresh install | 16:43 |
| ReggieMan | Looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades is the sources.list step required? I can't seem to find a Lubunu equivalent of old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 16:59 |
| ReggieMan | holstein: ^ | 17:00 |
| ReggieMan | Shut off on trying to install clementine via apt-get. Did you say anything holstein? | 17:06 |

| rk[1] | i am in a pickle... | 20:00 |
| rk[1] | i am using the default x login manager, wtf it is. | 20:00 |
| rk[1] | i typed the wrong username and it keeps prompting me for a password and stating it is in correct | 20:00 |
| rk[1] | is there a way to go back to choosing a user? | 20:00 |
| rk[1] | or any idea what the name of the process is, so i can kill it and re-execute it? | 20:01 |
| holstein | rk[1]: i would go to tty, and make certain i can login, and i know what my username is.. then, i would just reboot and try again.. not sure what you are looking at, or why you cant just type in a username.. could be you are just frustrated and pressing enter too quickly | 20:03 |
| rk[1] | holstein: i _really_ don't want to reboot | 20:04 |
| rk[1] | i am on a live image... | 20:04 |
| rk[1] | else i would have already done that 15 minutes ago :P | 20:05 |
| rk[1] | it is a default install so username should be lunbuntu and password empty characters | 20:05 |
| rk[1] | i am on a tty now, hence how i am able to be on irc | 20:05 |
| holstein | rk[1]: you'll have a challenging time with that in a live ennvironment | 20:05 |
| rk[1] | holstein: i am frustrated, but doesn't seem to be the issue. | 20:05 |
| holstein | not sure what you are trying to accomplish.. you should probably just take a bigger picture with the entire issue | 20:06 |
| rk[1] | holstein: yeah. i made a mistake picking lunbuntu as a live image, but heh it is what i am stuck with | 20:06 |
| holstein | rk[1]: i dont know *any* live image that is expecting you to logout like that | 20:06 |
| rk[1] | so lunbuntu uses some default x login manager. | 20:06 |
| holstein | rk[1]: you *can* login, and i have many times.. but, its just not intended to be used like that.. hence the frustration | 20:06 |
| rk[1] | the default window manager is something lame, so i installed i3 | 20:06 |
| holstein | rk[1]: yes.. lubuntu uses a login manager.. | 20:06 |
| rk[1] | i logged out and it brought me to login manager screen | 20:07 |
| holstein | rk[1]: you wont be able to do that with the live ennvironment like that | 20:07 |
| rk[1] | i typed something by accident in the username and pressed enter | 20:07 |
| holstein | rk[1]: i would just install, and do what you like.. customize all you please | 20:07 |
| rk[1] | and now it just keeps prompting me for password :/ | 20:07 |
| rk[1] | there is no, cancel go back to username selection :/ | 20:07 |
| holstein | rk[1]: so, kill the login manager you are using,a nd use the one the entire live environment is expecting.. | 20:07 |
| rk[1] | holstein: i was thinking that, but i have no idea what the name of the process is for the login manager | 20:08 |
| rk[1] | sorry i am not used to a login manager, i usually just edit my .xinitrc and startx | 20:08 |
| holstein | kill them all, and just login and do what you like | 20:08 |
| rk[1] | also, i would be on my default image of gentoo, but i recently moved and am forced to be using wireless =[ and i didn't set wireless up yet with the drivers and kernel stuffs before i moved :/ | 20:09 |
| holstein | rk[1]: you dont have an installation to do that with.. you should just install, and not be expecting customization like that from a live environment | 20:09 |
| rk[1] | holstein: i concur. i have been going about this wrong, but it is what i am dealing with | 20:09 |
| rk[1] | i boot and spend 30-40 minutes setting up my environement | 20:09 |
| holstein | lightdm is the login manager | 20:10 |
| rk[1] | so i end up leaving my live image running for weeks at a time. | 20:10 |
| rk[1] | i really need to fix my wireless issue | 20:10 |
| holstein | rk[1]: right.. *dont* do that.. just install | 20:10 |
| holstein | or, just use it "as-is" | 20:10 |
| holstein | not sure why you are logging out at all, and seeing or caring about a login manager with a live environment... | 20:11 |
| mikubuntu | took forever doing an upgrade to 14.04, and then when it was finishd my keystrokes wouldn't render any type on chrome , but seem to be working on firefox -- is this a known bug? | 20:14 |
| rk[1] | holstein: i have been living // booting off a live environment for 6 months :/ | 20:14 |
| rk[1] | also thank you very much | 20:14 |
| rk[1] | lightdm was the process. i killed and restarted it and it at least brought me to the meh wm | 20:14 |
| rk[1] | i tried logging out and logging back in and for some reason it won't accept my password. i even changed it but oh well | 20:14 |
| rk[1] | at least i can run a web browser | 20:15 |
| rk[1] | also, i'd rather not install. i really don't care much for *buntu | 20:15 |
| rk[1] | anyhow, thanks for helping! | 20:15 |
| mikubuntu | took forever doing an upgrade to 14.04, and then when it was finishd my keystrokes wouldn't render any type on chrome , but seem to be working on firefox -- is this a known bug? | 20:29 |
| holstein | rk[1]: what are you booting from? USB stick? | 20:43 |
| holstein | rk[1]: im not asking that you do, or if you do "care" for *buntu, but, using the liven environments incorrectly, and not as intended like you are can be a source of frustration that i am attempting to address | 20:44 |
| mikubuntu | took forever doing an upgrade to 14.04, and then when it was finishd my keystrokes wouldn't render any type on chrome , but seem to be working on firefox -- is this a known bug? | 20:54 |
| holstein | mikubuntu: ask them | 20:54 |
| holstein | mikubuntu: first thing i would do is test without my user config for chrome.. | 20:55 |
| mikubuntu | so you don't think its an os problem | 20:55 |
| holstein | mikubuntu: its not part of the OS, so, no | 20:55 |
| holstein | mikubuntu: i use chrome in 14.04 without fail | 20:55 |
| holstein | mikubuntu: the chrome ppa was likely disabled to facilitate your upgrade.. if you havent, purge, and reinstall chrome, and that will likely address any issues | 20:56 |
| mikubuntu | k, i'll try that | 20:56 |
| mikubuntu | holstein, bummer, still not working ... was actually chromium i wonder if chrome would have the same issue, i'll try it an see | 21:01 |
| gomaaz | hi there | 21:17 |
| wllrt | How do I add an icon to my shortcut on lxde panel? | 21:34 |
| SaXx | Hey | 22:13 |
| wllrt | SaXx: Hey | 22:20 |
| wllrt | Not a whole lot activity on this channel it seems. | 22:21 |
| SaXx | Yes I agree, first time on this channel and it seems dead | 22:22 |
| wllrt | clear | 22:24 |
| wllrt | ^woops | 22:25 |
| SaXx | Haha | 22:25 |
| wllrt | SaXx: I'm on tmux and I was clearing the terminal. :) | 22:25 |
| SaXx | I thought so haha! :) | 22:25 |
| wllrt | SaXx: Earlier I was having an issue with adding an icon to a shortcut I created in the lxde panel, but it seems resolved, although it is not squared like most lubuntu icons. | 22:26 |
| SaXx | Ahh I see, i'm doing all my customisation's now, I just switched over to Lubuntu full time after trying all other distros, are you a full time user too? | 22:28 |
| SaXx | customizations* | 22:28 |
| wllrt | Technically yes. I've been doing some distro hopping. This is an old machine Thinkpad A30. | 22:28 |
| wllrt | Prior, I was running Precise Puppy Linux. Wanted to try Slitaz and that seemed like a monumental thing to configure which I wasn't up for. So I resorted to what I know best. | 22:29 |
| wllrt | SaXx: I'll be right back. I'm going to have dinner. | 22:30 |
| SaXx | Okay no problem, I'll be here :) | 22:30 |
| wllrt | SaXx: I'm back. | 22:45 |
| wllrt | SaXx: What other distros did you try and what hardware? | 22:46 |
| SaXx | Hey, I've got a stack of distros on disc, I've tried them all, the reason I didn't switch before is because I'm a front end web dev and need tools like photoshop and such and Gimp wasn't enough, I've managed to get photoshop running smooth now though | 22:52 |
| wllrt | SaXx: Cool. So, wait where are you running Photoshop? | 22:53 |
| SaXx | I had it running on Xubuntu so I imagine I can get it running on Lubuntu, we'll find out shortly though lol | 22:53 |
| wllrt | SaXx: With wine? | 22:54 |
| SaXx | Yeah with Wine and it ran fine for me | 22:55 |
| Unit193 | If you could, please try to keep the chatting in #lubuntu-offtopic and the support questions in here. This makes it easier for people willing to help filter out questions from normal chatting. | 22:55 |
| SaXx | Oh sorry! | 22:55 |
| Unit193 | No problem. | 22:55 |
| wllrt | Unit193: My apologies. Will do. | 22:56 |
