[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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] <wxl> ooooo
[00:14] <eletious> Wow that was easy
[00:15]  * wxl golf claps
[00:15] <Unit193> Pretty soon after trusty was released, I had to upgrade somebody's computer that didn't.
[00:16] <Unit193> Actually, it's soon enough that the repos might still be where they normally are, for saucy.
[00:26] <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?
[08:45] <luke_> how do I make the keyboard layout stay to gb, every time I login it changes to us
[08:46] <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
[09:06] <KaLu> hello
[09:22] <KaLu> i'm tritng to install lubuntu 14.04 on my PPC G4
[09:23] <KaLu> the problem is that the screen come in low depth resolution
[10:26] <onla> maybe someone else will help you, i'm not pro with linux, but I would google something like video card driver ubuntu
[10:27] <onla> find commands to check if your video card is detected
[10:28] <onla> there is also the preferences -  monitor settings
[21:13] <Murdock76> Cool I made it!  Hello all.
[21:14] <melodie> hullo!
[21:15] <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
[21:16] <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
[21:17] <melodie> hello holstein !
[21:17] <melodie> have you tried Bento? Or read about it?
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <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/
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <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!
[21:24] <melodie> is the cpu a 32bits or a 64bits cpu?
[21:24] <Murdock76> 32 i believe
[21:25] <Murdock76> i like that it's teeny but didn't cost over #1000
[21:25] <Murdock76> $1000*
[21:26] <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
[21:27] <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
[21:28] <melodie> Murdock76 celeron 900 Mhz? I'd cry.
[21:29] <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.
[21:30] <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 :)
[21:31] <Murdock76> brb...battery is blinking on it.
[21:32] <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)
[21:33] <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
[21:38] <Murdock76> Bento looks like a winner.
[21:38] <Murdock76> Thanks guys!
[21:39] <Murdock76> i gotta go for now.  have an appointment.
[21:39]  * Murdock76 waves.
[21:51] <Glorfindel> How do you connect to wifi in lubuntu? I tried network conections but it didn't conect
[21:51] <holstein> !wifi
[21:51] <holstein> Glorfindel: its probably a simple issue of needing firmware.. is it a broadcom device?
[21:53] <Glorfindel> I think it's an intel device
[21:54] <Glorfindel> on a dell laditude d820
[22:16] <ianorlin> Glorfindel: is this that you don't see nm-applet to connect to wifi?
[22:17] <Glorfindel> I don't think so. What is it/does it look like
[22:19] <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
[22:20] <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
[22:21] <Glorfindel> to test it
[22:25] <DoverMo> just installed lxde, and polkit doen't let me use shutdown/reboot options within upower menu
[22:29] <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..
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <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
[22:32] <Glorfindel> I copied the terminal output but the system stoped responding
[22:32] <Glorfindel> and I had to restart
[22:52] <DoverMo> still having trouble with lxde upower
[23:01] <DoverMo> ugh
[23:24] <Glorfindel> Maybe try google?
[23:24] <Glorfindel> if no one is on to help
