[00:42] <greatpopcorn> I am attempting to boot Lubuntu 14.04 onto a really old IBM Thinkpad A22m. I am stuck at a black screen after the default (l)ubuntu starting screen and the check screen. Suggestions?
[00:45] <phillw> greatpopcorn: first thing... run the self test that is an option on starting
[00:58] <greatpopcorn> I ran it with some boot options and now it is caught in a loop of check screen, black screen with cursor, split second of desktop, check screen, etc.
[01:00] <greatpopcorn> The boot options were the one that it says to use for IBM machines and the one for IBM thinkpads.
[01:02] <greatpopcorn> Even if I try opening the terminal with Alt+F4, it closes that and goes back to the check screen.
[07:47] <konvexdaten__> Hello. I am running lubuntu on a dell laptop and I connected it to my 40' smart TV, but can't change the resolution. How do I change it?
[07:52] <konvexdaten__> Please, lubuntu people :(
[08:16] <rena_> I found this. Maybe it helps, unless you had already gone through it :p

[09:30] <kuhilasv1ara> about that yesterdays cpufreq problem. Not sure if I have acpi-cpufreq module on my pc for it to load. Someone first checked its presence with  ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/ , and saw it there and then did sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq. When I run that command, I don't see acpi-cpufreq there https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=96987
[09:31] <kuhilasv1ara> locate acpi-cpu gives me nothing
[11:26] <phillw> onla: for the cpufreq issue, you are probably best waiting for melodie to be back on line as it was her who was dealing with the issue with you. For screen resolution issue, I'd suggest installing ARandR it has more functionality than XRandR (Although it does use more resources, which is why we do not ship it as default). Remember to have the smart TV connected and powered up when you boot the computer, my computer sulks if I try to 'hot plug' a monito
[11:35] <profus2> hello everybody,
[11:35] <profus2> how do i start application after installing it with gdebi?
[11:35] <profus2> did not find it in any menue
[11:41] <phillw> profus2: which application?
[11:41] <profus2> trelby
[11:42] <JohnDoe_71Rus> menu - run - type application name
[11:42] <profus2> http://www.trelby.org/
[11:44] <profus2> looks like this is based on python
[11:44] <profus2> installation went without problems, but i have no clue how to run it :_(
[11:46] <phillw> profus2: I'm just installing it, be patient :)
[11:47] <profus2> thank you, will be very patient...
[11:47] <phillw> profus2: Menu --> Accessories --> Trelby :)
[11:48] <phillw> But don't ask me how it works!!! I've only read the download page :P
[11:48] <profus2> unfortunately not here
[11:48] <phillw> I suggest re-installing using the link http://www.trelby.org/files/release/2.2/trelby_2.2_all.deb
[11:49] <profus2> i am running uberstuden 3.0
[11:49] <phillw> your computer should ask to save or run the app... chose to run it.
[11:49] <profus2> @phillw: will do
[11:50] <profus2> afk for about 15 minutes, will report back, thank you for helping me out
[12:47] <mpmc> Hey guys, having a bit of a problem with my Logitech G400 mouse (wired) & Lubuntu. It's just completely stopped working (it's worked fine for ages previously), it's being seen (lsusb and dmesg) but it just won't work, I've plugged in a separate mouse and that's fine. It also works fine in a Windows machine, (re|dis)connecting it makes no difference either. Any ideas?
[12:54] <phillw> mpmc: can you try with a LiveCD ?
[12:56] <mpmc> phillw: The machine was freshly re-installed a few days ago and the mouse was working fine.
[12:56] <mpmc> I think a recent update has borked it.
[12:56] <phillw> mpmc: But, does the LiveCD work?
[12:57] <mpmc> phillw: Yes.
[13:02] <phillw> mpmc: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2234434 it does not look promising :(
[13:03] <mpmc> Bah!
[13:04] <mpmc> phillw: Thanks for your help!
[13:13] <phillw> mpmc: I've even looked on http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/support/optical-gaming-mouse-g400 and there is no linux driver listed, sorry ... :/
[13:14] <mpmc> phillw: I can't understand why it's been working fine on the same machine, then boom dead! :s
[13:16] <phillw> mpmc: have a read and follow of http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/logitech-g400-gaming-mouse-can-i-set-up-multiple-button-profiles-4175459534/
[13:16] <phillw> to every problem, there is a solution :)
[13:18] <mpmc> phillw: I'll give it a shot :)
[13:18] <profus2> @phillw: succeded in solving trelby problem, had to click on .desktop file in /opt/trelby, it then added icon to menu bar
[13:19] <phillw> profus2: nice :)... now all I have to do is work out what it does and decide if to keep it :P
[13:20] <profus2> its a screenwriting program, leading your way directly to hollywood :-)
[13:21] <phillw> I know a couple of people who may be interested in that :)
[14:59] <ikonia> is the lubuntu PPC port maintained by the lubuntu guys or seperate/ppc team ?
[15:00] <ikonia> sorry, as in the core lubuntu team or a seperate branch, such as the PPC community team members
[15:13] <phillw> ikonia: lubuntu ppc is supported by lubuntu, a small but valiant group who have the hardware.
[15:14] <phillw> ikonia: --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/PPC%26Mac64
[19:45] <brokenaudio> is 14.10 or 15.04 shipping lxqt?
[19:47] <phillw> brokenaudio: 14.10 has passed alpha 1 testing for i686 and amd64 (32 and 64 bit processors). It is back under daily testing.
[19:47] <phillw> lxqt has not yet been added to 14.10
[19:47] <brokenaudio> so it'll be an option but not default?
[19:48] <phillw> brokenaudio: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/14.10
[19:49] <brokenaudio> choosing the software to bundle is probally going to be a long process, as a lot of qt stuff has very long kde dep chains
[19:50] <brokenaudio> some qt things in ubuntu pretty much want the whole damn kubuntu metapackage
[19:51] <brokenaudio> i guess completely ignore goign lqt until it hits stable on qt5 huh
[19:51] <phillw> qt5 has landed and is what is now being worked on.
[22:12] <A1R_> Hi, I'm trying to install irssi on my lubuntu machine, but when I "sudo apt-get install irssi...etc" it shows "E: unable to locate package ____"
[22:14] <wxl> A1R_: are you just doing `sudo apt-get install irssi` or do you have some other packages appended to the end? if the latter, try just one
[22:15] <A1R_> i have other packages appended at the end
[22:15] <wxl> so remove the offending package and let me know what it is and i'll help you find it while the other stuff installs
[22:17] <ianorlin> A1R that can also happen if you misspell a package name
[22:17] <wxl> right that's what i was getting at
[22:18] <A1R_> oh lol...
[22:18] <wxl> :)
[22:18] <A1R_> turns out i did mispell it xD
[22:18] <wxl> you can always `apt-cache search some-keyword`
[22:19] <wxl> or `apt-cache show some-package`
[22:19] <wxl> it happens; also sometimes the names change!!
[22:19] <A1R_> yeah
[22:19] <A1R_> brb
[22:25] <A1R> There we go
[22:29] <wxl> horaay
[23:25] <MeXTuX> Changed panel settings but would like to restore it to defaults. Any idea?
[23:30] <koell> MeXTuX: look into ~/.config/lxpanel and copy the default one from other sessions to your Lubuntu folder
[23:30] <MeXTuX> Thank you. One more thing: ALT + F2 is not working. How can I enable that shortcut to run applications?
[23:52] <ianorlin> MexTux that is a known bug one fix is to replace lxsession-defaul launcher_manager with lxsession-default launcher manager in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
