[04:52] 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 [04:53] What chipset? (Also, 14.04 is current.) [04:54] `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] is this the nm-applet not being in panel? [04:58] Unit193: thx lemme try additional drivers [05:07] upgrading to 14.04 and broadcom card now working ... its possible this could fly [07:04] Hi [07:04] I've purchased a Rii mini i8 bluetooth keyboard [07:05] How can i enable the keyboard in lubuntu?

Should I restart now that I've done that upgrade? [16:41] !raring [16:41] Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014.

I can't seem to find a Lubunu equivalent of old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [17:00] holstein: ^ [17:06] Shut off on trying to install clementine via apt-get. Did you say anything holstein? [17:09] Hi, I am using Lubuntu 14.04 on Dell E6400. Unable to see wireless connection. On running 'nm-applet' it shows "wireless connections available, please use network menu to connect to internet". However there is no wireless interface on the task panel on right bottom [17:09] please see few of queries run on my terminal at http://pastebin.com/9bXfSkGf [18:18] Hello I am looking to install Firefox 29.0.1 on Lubuntu 14.04 without uninstalling Firefox 28, but I would like to create a start menu shortcut, rather than always starting it from terminal. What are some good sources to learn this? Thanks. [19:14] hi guys I use google chrome latest upgrade in lubuntu and google maps play very slow it takes forever to zoom in maps [19:14] why google maps are so slow? [19:15] is there a problem in chrome version? [19:22] anyone faces problem with google chrome ? [19:23] I think it is very slow and shows some bugs [19:37] comics_idees: what's your hardware? [20:00] i am in a pickle... [20:00] i am using the default x login manager, wtf it is. [20:00] i typed the wrong username and it keeps prompting me for a password and stating it is in correct [20:00] is there a way to go back to choosing a user? [20:01] or any idea what the name of the process is, so i can kill it and re-execute it? [20:03] 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 [20:04] holstein: i _really_ don't want to reboot [20:04] i am on a live image... [20:05] else i would have already done that 15 minutes ago :P [20:05] it is a default install so username should be lunbuntu and password empty characters [20:05] i am on a tty now, hence how i am able to be on irc [20:05] rk[1]: you'll have a challenging time with that in a live ennvironment [20:05] holstein: i am frustrated, but doesn't seem to be the issue. [20:06] not sure what you are trying to accomplish.. you should probably just take a bigger picture with the entire issue [20:06] holstein: yeah. i made a mistake picking lunbuntu as a live image, but heh it is what i am stuck with [20:06] rk[1]: i dont know *any* live image that is expecting you to logout like that [20:06] so lunbuntu uses some default x login manager. [20:06] 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] the default window manager is something lame, so i installed i3 [20:06] rk[1]: yes.. lubuntu uses a login manager.. [20:07] i logged out and it brought me to login manager screen [20:07] rk[1]: you wont be able to do that with the live ennvironment like that [20:07] i typed something by accident in the username and pressed enter [20:07] rk[1]: i would just install, and do what you like.. customize all you please [20:07] and now it just keeps prompting me for password :/ [20:07] there is no, cancel go back to username selection :/ [20:07] rk[1]: so, kill the login manager you are using,a nd use the one the entire live environment is expecting.. [20:08] holstein: i was thinking that, but i have no idea what the name of the process is for the login manager [20:08] sorry i am not used to a login manager, i usually just edit my .xinitrc and startx [20:08] kill them all, and just login and do what you like [20:09] 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] 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] holstein: i concur. i have been going about this wrong, but it is what i am dealing with [20:09] i boot and spend 30-40 minutes setting up my environement [20:10] lightdm is the login manager [20:10] so i end up leaving my live image running for weeks at a time. [20:10] i really need to fix my wireless issue [20:10] rk[1]: right.. *dont* do that.. just install [20:10] or, just use it "as-is" [20:11] not sure why you are logging out at all, and seeing or caring about a login manager with a live environment... [20:14] 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] holstein: i have been living // booting off a live environment for 6 months :/ [20:14] also thank you very much [20:14] lightdm was the process. i killed and restarted it and it at least brought me to the meh wm [20:14] 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 [20:15] at least i can run a web browser [20:15] also, i'd rather not install. i really don't care much for *buntu [20:15] anyhow, thanks for helping! [20:29] 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? [20:43] rk[1]: what are you booting from? USB stick? [20:44] 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 [20:54] 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] mikubuntu: ask them [20:55] mikubuntu: first thing i would do is test without my user config for chrome.. [20:55] so you don't think its an os problem [20:55] mikubuntu: its not part of the OS, so, no [20:55] mikubuntu: i use chrome in 14.04 without fail [20:56] 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] k, i'll try that [21:01] holstein, bummer, still not working ... was actually chromium i wonder if chrome would have the same issue, i'll try it an see [21:17] hi there [21:34] How do I add an icon to my shortcut on lxde panel? [22:13] Hey [22:20] SaXx: Hey [22:21] Not a whole lot activity on this channel it seems. [22:22] Yes I agree, first time on this channel and it seems dead [22:24] clear [22:25] ^woops [22:25] Haha [22:25] SaXx: I'm on tmux and I was clearing the terminal. :) [22:25] I thought so haha! :) [22:26] 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. [22:28] 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] customizations* [22:28] Technically yes. I've been doing some distro hopping. This is an old machine Thinkpad A30. [22:29] 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. [22:30] SaXx: I'll be right back. I'm going to have dinner. [22:30] Okay no problem, I'll be here :) [22:45] SaXx: I'm back. [22:46] SaXx: What other distros did you try and what hardware? [22:52] 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 [22:53] SaXx: Cool. So, wait where are you running Photoshop? [22:53] I had it running on Xubuntu so I imagine I can get it running on Lubuntu, we'll find out shortly though lol [22:54] SaXx: With wine? [22:55] Yeah with Wine and it ran fine for me [22:55] 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] Oh sorry! [22:55] No problem. [22:56] Unit193: My apologies. Will do.
