[00:24] <jxshxx> Need clarification - Have a tower with windows and Ubuntu 10.04.  Popped in Lubuntu 14.04 disk, and was given the option to upgrade the old Ubuntu to the new Lubuntu.  Does this leave the Windows partition intact?
[00:26] <koell> jxshxx: a backup is always a good way i guess
[00:27] <koell> it will just upgrade i think without deleting windows (no guarantees :D
[00:27] <jxshxx> koell: I'd prefer legal documentation that gives me all your stuff if it fails
[00:28] <ianorlin> I am not sure upgrades that out of date are really tested
[00:30] <koell> jxshxx: you may wrie your documenation yourself and contribute to the lubuntu project, no one would stop you :P
[00:31] <jxshxx> koell: noted.  alright, may as well try it.  losing windows would only be an improvement.
[00:31] <koell> :D
[00:40] <A1R> hmm
[17:17] <mkdmz> How do I change remove the background picture from lightdm and just have a chosen color, command line?
[17:24] <mkdmz_> is there a way to change lightdm background color and remove picture on command line?
[17:25] <ianorlin> mkdmz_: there is a way to change the image I just need to remember which config file
[17:26] <mkdmz_> ianorlin: I have to do this in chroot, so that's why I need to do it command line, I dont' know how to get to x from chroot.
[17:28] <ianorlin> so you are trying to run an entire x session in chroot
[17:33] <mkdmz_> ianorlin: not really, just spinning lubuntu with some changes.  I hope I don't need to learn to do x in chroot, sounds not fun.
[17:33] <mkdmz_> I found /etc/lightdm files
[17:35] <ianorlin> there is a simlink called /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf that you would need to edit in the chroot that you need to change the backround= line to change the background
[17:35] <ianorlin> so you would need an solid color image
[17:37] <mkdmz_> Okay, I was successful just changing the image path to an image that is a solid color.
[17:38] <mkdmz_> For some reason I remember in the past that didn't work for *ubuntus
[17:39] <mkdmz_> I'm going to try to change the autologin in now via just changing the config file.
[17:40] <ianorlin> although making a backup of config files can be handy when editing them
[18:03] <jxshxx> Dual Boot tower - 2 printers tested - Printer 1 works in both OS - Printer 2, though installed/recognized, won't print in 14.04 - cups were reinstalled in synaptic, to no avail - Printer 1 connects via serial, Printer 2 via usb - Thoughts?
[18:04] <ianorlin> what kind of printer is printer 2?
[18:04] <ianorlin> I think lubuntu you need to install hplip because otherwise there are fitting on cd problems
[18:08] <jxshxx> ianorlin: yes, hp printer
[18:09] <phillw> I don't think any of the flavours ship hplip, it is for HP printers?
[18:09] <ianorlin> yes hplip is for hp printers
[18:09] <phillw> I could be wrong, now that they've all gone dvd size :D
[18:09] <ianorlin> you need to install hplip which is the driver
[18:10] <phillw> I don't need it for kodak or canon printers... linux finds them on its own
[18:10] <ianorlin> !info hplip
[18:10] <ubottu> hplip (source: hplip): HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP). In component main, is optional. Version 3.14.3-0ubuntu3.2 (trusty), package size 62 kB, installed size 384 kB
[18:10] <jxshxx> ianorlin: deskjet 1050
[18:11] <ianorlin> jxshxx: install hplip thorugh synaptic, apt-get, or lubuntu-software-center
[18:11] <phillw> I do have it installed as the laser's here and works are both HP lasers (I just like their build quality)
[18:12] <phillw> but, I'' back to testing 14.04.1 :)
[18:12] <jxshxx> ianorlin: just a sudo apt-get install hplip?
[18:13] <ianorlin> yes but you may want to sudo apt-get update first
[18:14] <jxshxx> ianorlin: Okay, thank you
[19:01] <jxshxx> ianorlin: hplip saved the day.  thanks again!
[19:14] <phillw> jxshxx: hp are one of the most linux friendly companies out there
[19:15] <ianorlin> some of their laptop have broadcom wifi though
[19:17] <phillw> ianorlin: even I'm not perfect :P
[19:33] <koell> where do i set the timeout for lock screen?
[19:33] <ianorlin> light-locker-settings for 14.04
[19:42] <koell> lthanks ianorlin
[20:19] <randint> hello, I'm on Lubuntu 32-bit. I used this tutorial (http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-nvidia-graphics-driver-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat) to install graphics drivers on NVIDIA GeForce MX420. after restart I couldn't choose any resolutions than 640x480. now the letters are so small and the icons are huge. any suggestions on how I could change resolution?
[20:34] <ianorlin> randint can you pastebin the output of xrandr
[20:35] <randint> yeah, I'm not on near the computer I'm talking about. thought to collect some suggestions here for tomorrow.
