[00:00] <ianorlin> I don't know about that
[00:01] <clypso> Hello. I am having problems with my lubuntu recognizing my wireless card. I literally dont see ANYTHING going on with my wireless.  I have A Sony pcg-7113L. All system information can be found here http://pastebin.com/r9nRP2bJ
[00:01] <Reptilia> ianorlin:Nope, when i alt + tab from, let's say firefox to LXterminal, there is a visual effect, like something going from right to left.
[00:06] <ianorlin> clypso unfortanetly I think the Broadcom proprietary driver is really the only way to get that to work so plug into ethernet and go to where it says additional drivers
[00:06] <ianorlin> Reptilia wierd it shows up with icons wehn I do that
[00:07] <clypso> i have ethernet plugged in im on this laptop now. Ok so go to additional drivers? where is that? sorry im new lol
[00:07] <ianorlin> in the menu on under prefrences
[00:08] <clypso> ok im there
[00:08] <jq-> Hi, I made a new user account and deleted the original and now when I try to sudo it tells me I'm not in the sudoers file, how can I fix this?
[00:09] <Reptilia> ianorlin:Yeah, icons are shown here too, but i am talking about the part when you switch from one app to another, and when you are looking at the second app, there is some minor visual effect which is shown. I want to turn that off so i save on resources.
[00:09] <Reptilia> Because i am running a relatively old hardware
[00:09] <clypso> Ok so i enabled for Broadcom corporation wireless mini card. But i see this other tab that says "Unknown: Unknown" then under it it says "This device is using a manually-installed driver" what do i do with this ?
[00:10] <Reptilia> ianorlin:Now i saw that it's not happening when i alt+tab, but only when i click on the active tabs in the taskbar.
[00:11] <ianorlin> can you give your current user sudo?http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[00:11] <Reptilia> Nevermind, it's not that important
[00:11] <ianorlin> on the taskbar?
[00:14] <Reptilia> Yeah
[00:15] <Reptilia> When i switch between tabs, using my mouse, by clicking on the different tabs, the visual effect is shown. When i am using the alt + tab method, the visual effect is not shown. The visual effect is something like a migration from left to right, a slight gradient-y thing, lol, don't know how to describe it :D
[00:18] <ianorlin> I think it also stays a slight highlighted color after saying what your current window is what you are seeing
[00:26] <Reptilia> ianorlin:Thanks for the help, as i said, it's not that important, i may find somewhere on the net how to turn off that. Logging off now, cya
[00:49] <lubuntu_core1404> how can i remove the guest account from lightdm, hide the user list and force all users ton type in both their username and password? I am not running a full  lubuntu-desktop, just lubuntu-core
[00:52] <ianorlin> lubuntu_core1404: this has the ways to have no guest and but involves editing files https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM
[00:59] <lubuntu_core1404> will follow the wiki instructions. will be back in 5 minutes or so. thanks
[08:31] <cristian_c> Hi
[08:31] <cristian_c> I've purchased a Rii mini i8 bluetooth keyboard
[08:31] <cristian_c> How can i enable the keyboard in lubuntu?
[08:31] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[08:32] <cristian_c> I've paired it
[08:35] <Vanfanel> hello, is there a Lubuntu-specific help forum? I think I've found a VERY notable bug in 14.04 but no one cares on the Ubuntu forum...
[08:37] <silverlion> Vanfanel : hi ... maybe you should supscribe on the lubuntu-users mailing-list and post it there
[08:37] <Vanfanel> ah! Maybe that'll be a good idea, yes :)
[08:37] <silverlion> Vanfanel : ;)
[10:40] <cristian_c> The server has disconnected me
[10:40] <cristian_c> Has anyone answered to me?
[16:10] <funkoolow> hi all
[16:10] <funkoolow> anyone knows how to force a specific resolution at sttartup on lubuntu 14.04?
[16:11] <funkoolow> my old monitor works fine only if booted via restore mode first
[16:12] <comics_idees> you m
[16:12] <comics_idees> you must
[16:12] <comics_idees> install
[16:13] <comics_idees> arandr and disper
[16:13] <comics_idees> and you must make a .desktop file
[16:13] <funkoolow> k thanks, i'll check them out
[16:13] <comics_idees> to run arandr or disper
[16:13] <comics_idees> in the startup
[16:13] <comics_idees> i use disper
[16:14] <comics_idees> also you need disper-indicator
[16:14] <comics_idees> with disper
[16:15] <funkoolow> i've installed em
[16:15] <funkoolow> now i need to edit a .desktop file in my homedir?
[16:18] <comics_idees> you go to etc/xdg/autostart
[16:19] <comics_idees> and you try to run disper or arandr
[16:19] <comics_idees> on autostart
[16:19] <comics_idees> with a resolution you specify
[16:19] <comics_idees> and one of them works
[16:19] <funkoolow> k, i'm seeing the correct command is disper -S -r 1024x768
[16:20] <comics_idees> yes you try this
[16:20] <comics_idees> and reboot
[16:20] <funkoolow> i'll give it a try, thanks man
[16:20] <funkoolow> will this be effective even on login?
[16:20] <comics_idees> not in login screen
[16:21] <comics_idees> after login it takes the resolution
[16:21] <funkoolow> oh, cause also login won't show up
[16:21] <funkoolow> where did they put xorg.conf in *ubuntu?
[16:22] <comics_idees> I dont know how to set resolution in login screen
[16:22] <funkoolow> k, thanks anyway for your precious suggestion, i'll check some other solution :)
[16:23] <comics_idees> if you find how to set login screen I want to know
[16:23] <comics_idees> because I cannot set my login screen
[16:23] <comics_idees> I wish I could change its background
[16:25] <funkoolow> i'm thinkin about forcing failsafe at boot time
[16:25] <funkoolow> since bootin that way all goes fine
[16:25] <funkoolow> but just an idea
[16:32] <funkoolow> i'll be back and let you know man, i'm rebooting and try that out
[16:44] <funkoolow> @comic_idees
[16:44] <funkoolow> it seems that i've solved disabling the $vt_handsoff parameter at boot
[16:44] <funkoolow> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1768725
[16:45] <funkoolow> now my /etc/default/grub for the default linux entry is:
[16:45] <funkoolow> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nomodeset"
[16:45] <funkoolow> and it goes fine even at login
[16:45] <funkoolow> hope this helps you
[16:46] <funkoolow> mail if you need help
[16:46] <funkoolow> funkoolow at gmail
[16:46] <funkoolow> byr
[16:46] <funkoolow> bye
[16:46] <funkoolow> and thanks again for the resolution tool you suggested
[17:11] <kuhilasvaara> can I see a log somewhere I am trying to shrink a ntfs drive with qparted but nothing happens.. it just says "real resize".. which log file might have smth?
[17:11] <kuhilasvaara> nothing happened on windows side when I first tried to shrink it there..
[17:13] <kuhilasvaara> do I have to unmount it first or something?
[17:13] <kuhilasvaara> or can shrinking a ntfs partition from 540gb to 426gb take tens of minutes or more?
[17:15] <kuhilasvaara> cancelling operation may cause SEVERE filesystem damage when I try cancel with qparted.. oh well, I guess it can take hours. Took like 4 seconds last time I shrank a volume
[17:20] <ianorlin> yes it must be unmounted kuhilasvaara
[17:21] <ianorlin> shrinking ntfs has taken a while for me on my 2tb drive down to 100 gb but haven't done 540 to 426
[17:23] <kuhilasvaara> when I unmount it, I get a ! sign saying that unable to read contents and that following list of software is required for ntfs file system support: ntfsprogs /ntfs-3g well I have ntfs-3g but the other one apt-get can't find..
[17:24] <kuhilasvaara> and when it is unmounted, I am unable to resize it
[17:24] <kuhilasvaara> I can open the resize screen, but can't move the sliders
[17:26] <kuhilasvaara> would be niec to be able to see some details while it is shrinking it, other than a bar
[17:28] <kuhilasvaara> ianorlin: a while? like couple minutes or half an hour or more?
[17:30] <ianorlin> depends on speed of disk and how big size
[17:31] <ianorlin> this took like more than half an hour but was through slow usb 2.0 as external and from 2.0 tb to 100 GB
[17:31] <ianorlin> if yours is sata it will be faster I think
[19:12] <kuhilasvaara> ianorlin: thanks. it did indeed take quite long. I was gone for over an houy leaving it to shrink and it did
[19:12] <kuhilasvaara> shrink
[19:36] <me1900> hi
[19:36] <me1900> i wat to put lubuntu 14.04 on usb pen drive what do you use for it?
[19:37] <wxl> me1900: dd or unetbootin would be my suggestion
[19:37] <wxl> !usb
[19:38] <me1900> thanks. i am wanting to use lubuntu for software defined radio hardware called rtl-sdr (rtl2832u r820T)
[19:38] <wxl> neat! i want to make a sdr
[19:38] <me1900> i have 3 of them
[19:38] <wxl> can i have one? XD
[19:39] <me1900> nooelec.com wil sell you one for 20 usd
[19:39] <wxl> whoa
[19:39] <me1900> thx for the help on the usb install info
[19:40] <wxl> np thx for the link
[19:40] <me1900> btw freenode ##rtlsdr can help you get started they are linux smart too
[19:40] <wxl> cool thanks for the help!!
[19:46] <wxl> ubuntu still sucks
[19:46] <wxl> too much bullcrap
[19:47]  * wxl uses lubuntu with awesome instead of openbox
[19:50] <me1900> ubuntu handle sdr good tho just use alternate iso because fft display and sample rate is loading cpu
[19:51] <wxl> me1900: know of an inexpensive way i could receive uhf/shf?
[19:51] <me1900> the r820T covers 24mhz to 1.744 Ghz non stop
[19:52] <wxl> i'd like to get up to 5 GHz
[19:52] <me1900> needs a down convertor
[20:00] <me1900> unetbootin not displaying progress bar yet usb pen drive show activity
[20:18] <comics_idees> what is software defined radio?
[20:19]  * wxl wonders
[20:19] <wxl> !sdr
[20:19] <wxl> nope, ubottu don't know about that one :)
[20:19] <wxl> it's essentially employing a computer to act as a radio tuner
[20:19] <comics_idees> it produces radiowaves?
[20:20] <comics_idees> or it plays radio music?
[20:20] <wxl> it's more for ham radio use
[20:21] <comics_idees> can I become radio amature if I use this?
[20:21] <comics_idees> amateur I mean
[20:21] <wxl> you can, or you can get real hardware
[20:21] <wxl> of course you have to or should follow regulations
[20:31] <me1900> rtl-sdr.org for your answers
[20:31] <me1900> or
[20:32] <me1900> http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr
[20:32] <me1900> i gotta reboot hopjng lubuntu loads
[20:45] <homegrown> zelda classic not working. bash: ./zlaunch-l: No such file or directory OR  (sh) zlaunch-l: 1:zlaunch-l: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string  . identical output for running any zelda classic executables
[20:47] <wxl> homegrown: try `locate zlaunch-l`
[20:49] <homegrown> no response, that's odd
[20:49] <wxl> so maybe bash wasn't lying to you
[20:49] <wxl> as far as you know, where is it?
[20:50] <homegrown> no response when run recursivly from parent directory either
[20:51] <homegrown> its in the same directory where I'm running it /home/homegrown/Downloads/Zelda Classic/2.5/
[20:51] <wxl> `ls -al` that directory and pastebin it
[20:51] <wxl> you might want to `sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit` to make your life easier
[20:51] <wxl> you can just do `ls -al | pastebinit` at that point
[20:52] <wxl> bbl lunch calls
[20:53] <homegrown> dang, how to copy-paste from xterm?
[20:56]  * ianorlin would use lxtermianl if you need to copy paste and then it is control shift c
[20:58] <homegrown> oh, I'm on 64-bit btw. sorry, that might explaine everything, sorry

[21:20] <doko> just installed newest lubuntu on a new laptop. i5, now i dont have sound and there also is no sound icon in the bar (where you can mute, increase/decrease)
[21:20] <doko> am i missing the entire audio part or what >?
[21:21] <ianorlin> doko can you pastebin the output of aplay -l
[21:22] <doko> http://pastebin.com/rf1x33RP
[21:26] <ianorlin> does running alsamixer in terminal do anything
[21:30] <doko> yes, the ncurses like looking window
[21:30] <doko> i just dont have sound
[21:30] <ianorlin> is anything muted
[21:30] <doko> can i somehow check if my soundcard is disabled or anything
[21:36] <doko> could you give me a command to check my laptops internals? like cd drive type, graphics
[21:45] <doko> ianorlin http://pastebin.com/izaxU9Xa
[21:52] <me1900> got lubuntu on
[21:53] <me1900> so like hello peoples
[21:53] <me1900> what does lubuntu have for lubuntu updates similar to windwos updates?
[21:54] <doko> check out my soundcard and its capabilities. http://pastebin.com/n7Tv59uN
[21:56] <me1900> foundit software updater
[22:00] <wxl> homegrown: back from lunch. figure it out?
[22:01] <wxl> homegrown: what does `file zlaunch-l` give you?
[22:02]  * wxl downloads zc
[22:04] <wxl> wow, how are they capable of licensing this?!
[22:09] <homegrown> wxl: zlaunch-l: ELF 32-bit LSB  executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[22:10] <homegrown> wxl: Nintendo has not pursued action against Zelda Classic. It doesn't use ROMS, but it does use sprite rips.
[22:11] <wxl> homegrown: wow this is pretty sweet. if you have a 32 bit executable i would think it should run on 64, but not vice versa
[22:11] <wxl> curious.
[22:11] <wxl> ran fine here but i'm on 32
[22:12] <homegrown> It is a clone, with occasional sprite rips for some quests. The core ZC download and main quest doesn't contain any directly ripped sprites, they are hand crafted facsimiles
[22:18] <homegrown> wxl: ZC's licensing itself is complicated. Quests are pretty much proprietary no cost and undisputed. The core is proprietary, says some team members. Its GPL says others. The official page announced GPL, obscurely. There's a git archive corresponding to this announcement. Its maintained. Some team members still insist its not GPL and the git version is leaked proprietary code. No one reports them to FSF because they like having access to the code.
[22:21] <homegrown> well, reality calls. I'll be back in a while
[23:00] <wxl> yiiikes
[23:00] <wxl> i ran zc without the launcher and all hell broke loose on my dual monitor setup
[23:28] <homegrown> wxl: the ZC team is not Linux people
[23:28] <wxl> homegrown: heh, apparently!
[23:29] <wxl> homegrown: needless to say i'm going to be having fun with that game :)
[23:29] <homegrown> their not really windows or mac people either, :)
[23:30] <wxl> hahahah
[23:47] <homegrown> well, going on the theory that the executable needs something that it doesn't report it needs, i'm installing bunches of games to see if it runs after
[23:47] <wxl> heheh
[23:48] <wxl> maybe run a 32 bit virtual machien and see if it works there
[23:48] <wxl> then you'll be able to know that it's a an issue with the binary
