| eletious | Hello everyone, it would appear as though I have done something stupid... or rather, have not done anything smart. | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | hahaha | 00:13 |
| eletious | I am using 13.04 | 00:13 |
| wxl | well there's your problem right there ;) | 00:13 |
| eletious | Mistakes were made... people happened, and I forgot to update | 00:13 |
| Unit193 | This'll be fun. | 00:14 |
| eletious | And then I remembered to update and very quickly realized that I have no idea how to. | 00:14 |
| Unit193 | !eolupgrade | 00:14 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 00:14 |
| wxl | ooooo | 00:14 |
| eletious | Wow that was easy | 00:14 |
| * wxl golf claps | 00:15 | |
| Unit193 | Pretty soon after trusty was released, I had to upgrade somebody's computer that didn't. | 00:15 |
| Unit193 | Actually, it's soon enough that the repos might still be where they normally are, for saucy. | 00:16 |
| eletious | I'm gonna go with a fresh install. Back up my files, I'll see ya'llz later | 00:26 |
| Unit193 | Where's the fun in that? | 00:26 |
| luke_ | how do I make the keyboard layout stay to gb, every time I login it changes to us | 08:45 |
| luke_ | I can run setxkbmap -layout 'gb' which will change it, but how do I make this persistent? | 08:46 |
| luke_ | the file /etc/default/keyboard looks ok | 08:46 |
| KaLu | hello | 09:06 |
| KaLu | i'm tritng to install lubuntu 14.04 on my PPC G4 | 09:22 |
| KaLu | the problem is that the screen come in low depth resolution | 09:23 |
| onla | maybe someone else will help you, i'm not pro with linux, but I would google something like video card driver ubuntu | 10:26 |
| onla | find commands to check if your video card is detected | 10:27 |

| Murdock76 | Cool I made it! Hello all. | 21:13 |
| melodie | hullo! | 21:14 |
| Murdock76 | I have a quick question. Is anyone familiar with the Asus EEEPC 701 4G? The Xandros operating system on it is freakishly outdated. I did a web search on what would work on it, and Lubuntu came up. | 21:15 |
| Murdock76 | Would the hardware support the latest distro of Lubuntu? | 21:15 |
| melodie | oh good! | 21:15 |
| melodie | no idea | 21:15 |
| holstein | i use it on a 900 | 21:16 |
| melodie | Murdock76 I have installed a custom openbox branded spinoff on a eeepc but this was not the exact same version as your's I think | 21:16 |
| Murdock76 | I tried Peppermint 4 initially. Booted a Live USB. It froze as I tried to run it. | 21:16 |
| melodie | do you want to see the feedback about it? | 21:16 |
| holstein | Murdock76: there are little better options for a full operating system than lubuntu | 21:16 |
| holstein | you can try puppy linux, and other faster options, but, they have tradeoffs | 21:16 |
| melodie | it was a eeepc C25 not idea if it's more powerfull or less than your's | 21:16 |
| melodie | it was quite tiny though | 21:16 |
| melodie | hello holstein ! | 21:17 |
| melodie | have you tried Bento? Or read about it? | 21:17 |
| Murdock76 | nope. so far lubuntu and i think debian eee versions are what i've looked into since Peppermint was a fail. | 21:18 |
| Murdock76 | i found a spec page on the 701 | 21:18 |
| melodie | Ubuntu Openbox (Bento Village) on eeepc 1025c - http://forum.linuxvillage.org/index.php/topic,525.msg3334.html#msg3334 | 21:18 |
| Murdock76 | it has intel celeron M 353 | 21:18 |
| Murdock76 | 512MB of RAM | 21:18 |
| holstein | Murdock76: peppermint was likely a "Fail" due to something else | 21:19 |
| Murdock76 | and a 4G solid state drive | 21:19 |
| melodie | Murdock76 can it take more ram if you do install more? | 21:19 |
| Murdock76 | i believe the ram is upgradable | 21:19 |
| holstein | Murdock76: you'll need to learn to confirm md5 sums and get a bootable stick regardless of what it is | 21:19 |
| holstein | the ram is soldered in on the 701's | 21:19 |
| holstein | you can look and confirm... | 21:19 |
| Murdock76 | the system on it now (Xandros | 21:19 |
| Murdock76 | ) | 21:19 |
| holstein | sure.. mine came with that | 21:19 |
| Murdock76 | was great back in the day but is badly obsolete today | 21:20 |
| holstein | i wouldnt know.. i wiped it first thing | 21:20 |
| Murdock76 | firefox version on it is like 3.6 XD | 21:20 |
| melodie | Murdock76 you might want to look at the features provided with Bento, and anyway you could try it as a live usb | 21:20 |
| Murdock76 | i'm looking at the bottom now...it has an access door. | 21:21 |
| melodie | it is light on resource, used zram kernel module since the beginning and though not official works well nowadays on many machines. and will be kept up to date until 2017 | 21:21 |
| melodie | http://linuxvillage.org/en/2013/11/bento-ubuntu-remix-rc/ | 21:21 |
| Murdock76 | oh no i voided the warrenty seal XD | 21:22 |
| melodie | Murdock76 it is of very little value I suppose? :) | 21:22 |
| Murdock76 | hmm the sticker on the RAM chip reads 1GB DDR2 | 21:22 |
| Murdock76 | guess i have more RAM than i thought | 21:23 |
| melodie | yes! | 21:23 |
| melodie | 1 GB ram is great for Lubuntu as well as for Bento | 21:23 |
| Murdock76 | and it does appear soldiered in | 21:23 |
| Murdock76 | cool | 21:23 |
| Murdock76 | i | 21:23 |
| melodie | bento idles at 100/130 MB according to what machine uses it | 21:23 |
| Murdock76 | i'm biased toward Lubuntu cause i have Ubuntu on the machine i am chatting on now, and it's great! | 21:23 |
| melodie | is the cpu a 32bits or a 64bits cpu? | 21:24 |
| Murdock76 | 32 i believe | 21:24 |
| Murdock76 | i like that it's teeny but didn't cost over #1000 | 21:25 |
| Murdock76 | $1000* | 21:25 |
| Murdock76 | battery winds down when not in use...only drawback of it to be honest | 21:26 |
| melodie | Murdock76 "cat /proc/cpuinfo" can provide all info about the cpu | 21:26 |
| melodie | sorry I don't get it about the battery and so (not English native... :/ ) | 21:27 |
| holstein | Murdock76: try it live, just dont assume, as yo udid with peppermint, if you get a "lockup" | 21:27 |
| Murdock76 | it sure does | 21:27 |
| Murdock76 | celeron 900MHz | 21:27 |
| holstein | the battery support is typically never as good as when the company provides support officially | 21:27 |
| melodie | Murdock76 celeron 900 Mhz? I'd cry. | 21:28 |
| Murdock76 | is there a bash command to find out hard drive space? | 21:29 |
| melodie | we have a tiny Samsung N210 it has a core duo in the chipset, takes 32 and 64bits and | 21:29 |
| melodie | yes Murdock76 "df -h" | 21:29 |
| melodie | or "df" | 21:29 |
| melodie | -h gives human readable output | 21:29 |
| Murdock76 | well i do have a 10" Acer Netbook. That took to Peppermint just dandy! | 21:29 |
| melodie | :) | 21:29 |
| Murdock76 | Win 7 Starter was anooying me. | 21:29 |
| melodie | Murdock76 you might want to have a look at Bento, and try it out from usb live | 21:30 |
| holstein | my 900 is the celeron 900mhz | 21:30 |
| Murdock76 | you think Bento would be better than Lubuntu? | 21:30 |
| melodie | there are also 2 other all made themes for it ready to go | 21:30 |
| melodie | Bento is not official Lubuntu is | 21:30 |
| holstein | Murdock76: "better" is always a matter of opinion | 21:30 |
| melodie | you try both and adopt which one you like :) | 21:30 |
| Murdock76 | brb...battery is blinking on it. | 21:31 |
| melodie | Bento has been developped with a lot of care, and will continue to be that way, is stable, as a 12.04 built on LTS will be maintained as such (in the limits possible, never know what upstream will be up to, of course) | 21:32 |
| melodie | and Trusty will be done just after (started but not available yet) | 21:32 |
| Murdock76 | wish i could remember how to check the HD space | 21:33 |
| Murdock76 | i go to file manager but can only check the properties on My Home | 21:33 |
| Murdock76 | Bento looks like a winner. | 21:38 |
| Murdock76 | Thanks guys! | 21:38 |
| Murdock76 | i gotta go for now. have an appointment. | 21:39 |
| * Murdock76 waves. | 21:39 | |
| Glorfindel | How do you connect to wifi in lubuntu? I tried network conections but it didn't conect | 21:51 |
| holstein | !wifi | 21:51 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 21:51 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: its probably a simple issue of needing firmware.. is it a broadcom device? | 21:51 |
| Glorfindel | I think it's an intel device | 21:53 |
| Glorfindel | on a dell laditude d820 | 21:54 |
| ianorlin | Glorfindel: is this that you don't see nm-applet to connect to wifi? | 22:16 |
| Glorfindel | I don't think so. What is it/does it look like | 22:17 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: look down by the time, in the tray, and see if you see it there.. if not, your can open a terminal, and run "nm-applet" and see if it shows up.. you should check hardware switches as well | 22:19 |
| Glorfindel | Nope, no icon | 22:20 |
| Glorfindel | first thing I checked | 22:20 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: then, you can run it, with nm-applet? | 22:20 |
| Glorfindel | hw switches are on too | 22:20 |
| Glorfindel | and I haven't tried yet | 22:20 |
| Glorfindel | I is off, I'll brb | 22:20 |
| Glorfindel | *it | 22:20 |
| Glorfindel | to test it | 22:21 |
| DoverMo | just installed lxde, and polkit doen't let me use shutdown/reboot options within upower menu | 22:25 |
| Glorfindel | It worked for a little while, the icon showed anyway, but then it spewed a bunch of errors | 22:29 |
| Glorfindel | in the terminal | 22:29 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: messages, likely.. | 22:29 |
| Glorfindel | ok | 22:30 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: you can set 'nm-applet' to autostart, or use "nm-applet &" | 22:30 |
| Glorfindel | the icon dissapeared afterward though | 22:30 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: it leaves when you close the terminal | 22:30 |
| Glorfindel | this was on a live cd | 22:30 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: sure... same on the live CD | 22:31 |
| Glorfindel | and it disappeared before the terminal was closed | 22:31 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: ok | 22:31 |
| holstein | Glorfindel: try the command i gave, or share error output, or just install and upgrade | 22:31 |
| Glorfindel | I copied the terminal output but the system stoped responding | 22:32 |
| Glorfindel | and I had to restart | 22:32 |
| DoverMo | still having trouble with lxde upower | 22:52 |
| DoverMo | ugh | 23:01 |
| Glorfindel | Maybe try google? | 23:24 |
| Glorfindel | if no one is on to help | 23:24 |
