[00:13] Hello everyone, it would appear as though I have done something stupid... or rather, have not done anything smart. [00:13] hahaha [00:13] I am using 13.04 [00:13] well there's your problem right there ;) [00:13] Mistakes were made... people happened, and I forgot to update [00:14] This'll be fun. [00:14] And then I remembered to update and very quickly realized that I have no idea how to. [00:14] !eolupgrade [00:14] 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] ooooo [00:14] Wow that was easy [00:15] * wxl golf claps [00:15] Pretty soon after trusty was released, I had to upgrade somebody's computer that didn't. [00:16] Actually, it's soon enough that the repos might still be where they normally are, for saucy. [00:26] I'm gonna go with a fresh install. Back up my files, I'll see ya'llz later [00:26] Where's the fun in that? [08:45] how do I make the keyboard layout stay to gb, every time I login it changes to us [08:46] I can run setxkbmap -layout 'gb' which will change it, but how do I make this persistent? [08:46] the file /etc/default/keyboard looks ok [09:06] hello [09:22] i'm tritng to install lubuntu 14.04 on my PPC G4 [09:23] the problem is that the screen come in low depth resolution [10:26] maybe someone else will help you, i'm not pro with linux, but I would google something like video card driver ubuntu [10:27] find commands to check if your video card is detected [10:28] there is also the preferences - monitor settings === Newk_ is now known as Newk [21:13] Cool I made it! Hello all. [21:14] hullo! [21:15] 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] Would the hardware support the latest distro of Lubuntu? [21:15] oh good! [21:15] no idea [21:16] i use it on a 900 [21:16] 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] I tried Peppermint 4 initially. Booted a Live USB. It froze as I tried to run it. [21:16] do you want to see the feedback about it? [21:16] Murdock76: there are little better options for a full operating system than lubuntu [21:16] you can try puppy linux, and other faster options, but, they have tradeoffs [21:16] it was a eeepc C25 not idea if it's more powerfull or less than your's [21:16] it was quite tiny though [21:17] hello holstein ! [21:17] have you tried Bento? Or read about it? [21:18] nope. so far lubuntu and i think debian eee versions are what i've looked into since Peppermint was a fail. [21:18] i found a spec page on the 701 [21:18] Ubuntu Openbox (Bento Village) on eeepc 1025c - http://forum.linuxvillage.org/index.php/topic,525.msg3334.html#msg3334 [21:18] it has intel celeron M 353 [21:18] 512MB of RAM [21:19] Murdock76: peppermint was likely a "Fail" due to something else [21:19] and a 4G solid state drive [21:19] Murdock76 can it take more ram if you do install more? [21:19] i believe the ram is upgradable [21:19] Murdock76: you'll need to learn to confirm md5 sums and get a bootable stick regardless of what it is [21:19] the ram is soldered in on the 701's [21:19] you can look and confirm... [21:19] the system on it now (Xandros [21:19] ) [21:19] sure.. mine came with that [21:20] was great back in the day but is badly obsolete today [21:20] i wouldnt know.. i wiped it first thing [21:20] firefox version on it is like 3.6 XD [21:20] Murdock76 you might want to look at the features provided with Bento, and anyway you could try it as a live usb [21:21] i'm looking at the bottom now...it has an access door. [21:21] 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] http://linuxvillage.org/en/2013/11/bento-ubuntu-remix-rc/ [21:22] oh no i voided the warrenty seal XD [21:22] Murdock76 it is of very little value I suppose? :) [21:22] hmm the sticker on the RAM chip reads 1GB DDR2 [21:23] guess i have more RAM than i thought [21:23] yes! [21:23] 1 GB ram is great for Lubuntu as well as for Bento [21:23] and it does appear soldiered in [21:23] cool [21:23] i [21:23] bento idles at 100/130 MB according to what machine uses it [21:23] i'm biased toward Lubuntu cause i have Ubuntu on the machine i am chatting on now, and it's great! [21:24] is the cpu a 32bits or a 64bits cpu? [21:24] 32 i believe [21:25] i like that it's teeny but didn't cost over #1000 [21:25] $1000* [21:26] battery winds down when not in use...only drawback of it to be honest [21:26] Murdock76 "cat /proc/cpuinfo" can provide all info about the cpu [21:27] sorry I don't get it about the battery and so (not English native... :/ ) [21:27] Murdock76: try it live, just dont assume, as yo udid with peppermint, if you get a "lockup" [21:27] it sure does [21:27] celeron 900MHz [21:27] the battery support is typically never as good as when the company provides support officially [21:28] Murdock76 celeron 900 Mhz? I'd cry. [21:29] is there a bash command to find out hard drive space? [21:29] we have a tiny Samsung N210 it has a core duo in the chipset, takes 32 and 64bits and [21:29] yes Murdock76 "df -h" [21:29] or "df" [21:29] -h gives human readable output [21:29] well i do have a 10" Acer Netbook. That took to Peppermint just dandy! [21:29] :) [21:29] Win 7 Starter was anooying me. [21:30] Murdock76 you might want to have a look at Bento, and try it out from usb live [21:30] my 900 is the celeron 900mhz [21:30] you think Bento would be better than Lubuntu? [21:30] there are also 2 other all made themes for it ready to go [21:30] Bento is not official Lubuntu is [21:30] Murdock76: "better" is always a matter of opinion [21:30] you try both and adopt which one you like :) [21:31] brb...battery is blinking on it. [21:32] 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] and Trusty will be done just after (started but not available yet) [21:33] wish i could remember how to check the HD space [21:33] i go to file manager but can only check the properties on My Home [21:38] Bento looks like a winner. [21:38] Thanks guys! [21:39] i gotta go for now. have an appointment. [21:39] * Murdock76 waves. [21:51] How do you connect to wifi in lubuntu? I tried network conections but it didn't conect [21:51] !wifi [21:51] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:51] Glorfindel: its probably a simple issue of needing firmware.. is it a broadcom device? [21:53] I think it's an intel device [21:54] on a dell laditude d820 [22:16] Glorfindel: is this that you don't see nm-applet to connect to wifi? [22:17] I don't think so. What is it/does it look like [22:19] 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 [22:20] Nope, no icon [22:20] first thing I checked [22:20] Glorfindel: then, you can run it, with nm-applet? [22:20] hw switches are on too [22:20] and I haven't tried yet [22:20] I is off, I'll brb [22:20] *it [22:21] to test it [22:25] just installed lxde, and polkit doen't let me use shutdown/reboot options within upower menu [22:29] It worked for a little while, the icon showed anyway, but then it spewed a bunch of errors [22:29] in the terminal [22:29] Glorfindel: messages, likely.. [22:30] ok [22:30] Glorfindel: you can set 'nm-applet' to autostart, or use "nm-applet &" [22:30] the icon dissapeared afterward though [22:30] Glorfindel: it leaves when you close the terminal [22:30] this was on a live cd [22:31] Glorfindel: sure... same on the live CD [22:31] and it disappeared before the terminal was closed [22:31] Glorfindel: ok [22:31] Glorfindel: try the command i gave, or share error output, or just install and upgrade [22:32] I copied the terminal output but the system stoped responding [22:32] and I had to restart [22:52] still having trouble with lxde upower [23:01] ugh [23:24] Maybe try google? [23:24] if no one is on to help
