| malaphus | Hi guys, I'm trying to add a logo to lightdm, in past versions (12.04) i just added a logo=/path/to/logo.png to /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf, but that doesn't seem to be working in 14.04 | 03:32 |

| genoobie | phillw, you still here? | 04:33 |
| bjrohan | Hello. I just installed lubuntu on a friends old Latitude D520. In the package manager I can not find wine. I tried sudo apt-get install wine, it said that it was unable to locate the package. what am I missing? | 04:55 |
| bjrohan | I also tried sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer for the wireless per the log file, and same unable to find message. I do have an internet connection | 04:56 |
| Unit193 | bjrohan: Try refreshing the sources list, apt-get update first. | 04:56 |
| Unit193 | Otherwise, you'd have to enable universe if it's for some reason disabled. | 04:57 |
| bjrohan | Unit193: under the Ubuntu Software, all4 are checked (Canonical-supported, Comunity Maintained, etc). I am currently updating the sources | 04:59 |
| bjrohan | Unit193: The update worked, thank you very much | 05:01 |
| Unit193 | bjrohan: Sure thing. | 05:01 |
| bjrohan | Help. My fresh install of Lubuntu on a Lattitude D520 went well, sans the wireless. I followed the instructions here, installing sta drivers, rebooted, and now I have no connection, not even ethernet, please help | 05:50 |

| Junka | hi | 10:58 |
| Junka | can i have a copy of lubuntu-rc.xml | 10:58 |
| wad | I have a problem with my lubuntu distro. | 11:35 |
| silverlion | wad : what kind of? | 11:36 |
| wad | It refuses to detect my ethernet hardware. | 11:36 |
| Junka | how rude | 11:36 |
| wad | I can't put anything on it. and I can't connect to the internet via the machine. | 11:37 |
| wad | My question is, how many times to I have to stab my motherboard with a stanley knife for it to work? | 11:37 |
| silverlion | wad : normally not even one time | 11:38 |
| silverlion | have you tried another ethernet cable? | 11:38 |
| wad | I need it to do as it is told about 6 hours ago. | 11:38 |
| silverlion | did the current cable work on another machine? | 11:38 |
| wad | I only have one cable. It is currently plugged into this machine. | 11:38 |
| wad | Which is a windows 8 laptop. | 11:38 |
| silverlion | and there it works I assume, ok | 11:39 |
| wad | Yes. | 11:39 |
| wad | But it does not on lubuntu. | 11:39 |
| silverlion | I'm currently in my office so no lubuntu available | 11:39 |
| silverlion | nevertheless I'm going to try to help you | 11:39 |
| wad | The drive is pulled from another computer that had lubuntu, I think the problem lies within the fact that is not detecting the hardware correctly due to the fact that it is completely different. | 11:40 |
| wad | It was on a failing core 2 duo board, about 7 years old If I recall correctly. | 11:40 |
| wad | It has been moved up to a recent(ish) i5, generation 2 board. | 11:41 |
| wad | And it refuses to work. | 11:41 |
| silverlion | wad : there might be a problem | 11:41 |
| wad | Please do tell. | 11:41 |
| silverlion | can you give me 5 mins to rejoin from another computer? | 11:41 |
| wad | No problem. | 11:42 |
| wad | *resumes vibrating on chair* | 11:42 |
| silverlion | I'll try to make lubuntu available for me to be able to help you | 11:42 |
| silverlion | brb | 11:42 |
| silverlion | here we go ^^ | 11:44 |
| wad | okay | 11:45 |
| phillw | I'm off out, should Junka re-join, his requested info is at http://pastebin.com/9Xi1Hz7F | 11:45 |
| silverlion | hang on a sec. phone | 11:45 |
| silverlion | wad | 11:47 |
| silverlion | you there? | 11:47 |
| wad | Yes | 11:47 |
| silverlion | are you currently on your win 8 laptop? | 11:47 |
| wad | Yes | 11:48 |
| silverlion | ok, we do need to copy the preferences for your ethernet | 11:48 |
| silverlion | you know how that works? | 11:48 |
| wad | Oh boy | 11:48 |
| wad | I think so | 11:48 |
| wad | When i attempt to make a manual connection in lubuntu I don't get any eth0 listed or anything. | 11:49 |
| silverlion | we do especially need the settings for IPv4 | 11:49 |
| silverlion | have you tried to set up a connection by hand already? | 11:49 |
| silverlion | by typing in the adress and subnet mask? | 11:49 |
| wad | Not really | 11:50 |
| wad | I will copy over the details now | 11:50 |
| silverlion | and if that does not work we go try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall#Unmanaged_Wired_Network | 11:51 |
| wad | Do I have to select a device MAC address in lubuntu? there is nothing to select there. | 11:51 |
| wad | I have run a couple of config utilities I cannot recall the names of and none of them pick up any hardware. | 11:52 |
| silverlion | normally not | 11:54 |
| wad | It's not letting me save the configuration in the network setup menu. | 11:54 |
| silverlion | have you tried the link i posted? | 11:55 |
| wad | Hold on, I gotta switch over the mouse again(laptop trackpad decided not to work after i installed new hardware) | 11:55 |
| silverlion | I'm here ^^ | 11:56 |
| wad | I'm at the step "Remove or comment the two lines under "The primary network interface"." I have opened the file and the interfaces have already been removed. | 11:58 |
| wad | Also I already have managed set to true | 11:59 |
| silverlion | wad can I be honest with you? | 12:00 |
| wad | By all means do so. | 12:00 |
| silverlion | wad: after what you have told me it seems that your installation of Lubuntu is not intact | 12:02 |
| wad | Hooray | 12:02 |
| silverlion | i have the slight feeling that your cd/usb is corrupted | 12:02 |
| wad | I have another drive, with lubuntu on it that does the exact same thing. | 12:02 |
| wad | Two hard drives, same lubuntu version, Same problem. | 12:03 |
| silverlion | I guess the download you took to burn / create the installation from is corrupted | 12:03 |
| wad | One is the old 2.5" out of this laptop, that I had upgraded to an SSD and the other is a 3.5" from an old optima computer. Both had working ethernet before I switched up the hardware. | 12:04 |
| silverlion | yeah ... what I am talking about is the iso file you've downloaded to install Lubuntu | 12:05 |
| wad | Oh great! | 12:05 |
| wad | I do believe they are from the same file. | 12:05 |
| silverlion | see ^^ | 12:05 |
| silverlion | because you told me that on this win 8 laptop everything works fine, right? | 12:06 |
| wad | But that does not really explain how both copies would work flawlessly up until now. | 12:06 |
| silverlion | only lubuntu is not able to connect | 12:06 |
| wad | Yes basically. | 12:06 |
| silverlion | I'd advise you to wait a day or two until our 14.04.1 LTS release is out | 12:07 |
| silverlion | try to take a server close to your location and burn another copy of Lubuntu | 12:07 |
| wad | I would still be faced with my current problem. | 12:07 |
| wad | I can't burn anything. I don't have access to removable media. | 12:07 |
| silverlion | USB Flash? | 12:07 |
| wad | Nope. | 12:08 |
| silverlion | that's bad | 12:08 |
| silverlion | because I have to admit that my ideas are out now | 12:08 |
| silverlion | I'd have no other ones to test things out | 12:08 |
| silverlion | :( | 12:08 |
| wad | I live in deep country, about 4 hours drive to technology. I have satellite internet. | 12:08 |
| wad | Stanley knife? | 12:09 |
| silverlion | wad: no knives pls ;) | 12:09 |
| wad | I have a broken windows install on one of the drives, I might just rewrite the kernel by hand, by tapping two wires together. | 12:10 |
| silverlion | wad: I am no hacker ^^ I normally do the public affairs for lubuntu ^ยน^ so I cant tell you what to do now ... sorry ... | 12:11 |
| wad | Higher tech than how I start my motherboard :P That involves shorting out pins. | 12:11 |
| silverlion | afk | 12:12 |
| wad | I have an ancient DSL ethernet board that fits into one of my PCI slots, I might give that a whirl. | 12:12 |
| genoobie | good morning all | 12:20 |
| genoobie | phillw, are you here? | 12:20 |
| genoobie | My wireless "fixed itself", I'd like to report the issue, but not sure, exactly how it became "fixed" | 12:21 |
| genoobie | I'll stop back later | 12:21 |
| phillw | genoobie: as long as it is working :P | 14:17 |
| MeXTuX | How can I change login screen resolution? | 15:11 |
| bollo | MeXTuX, create a display script with arandr and use display-setup-script in lightdm.conf | 15:19 |
| lucas_21 | Hi everyone! I need a little bit help. I have modprobe kmod version 15 and... It doesn't have the option -l. What's the way to list all the modules of the kernel? thanks in advance. | 16:06 |
| lucas_21 | #ubuntu | 16:20 |
| genoobie | phillw, are you here? | 16:48 |
| phillw | genoobie: I'm lurking :) | 16:49 |
| genoobie | well you saw my post re:wireless | 16:49 |
| phillw | yes :) | 16:50 |
| genoobie | okay, so the "deal" was this, but I still haven't figured out the problem | 16:50 |
| genoobie | there was some rfkill switch silliness that was addressed early on | 16:50 |
| genoobie | then I started to check the adapter and I recalled that it work in kernel 3.0 (or so) | 16:50 |
| genoobie | in lubuntu 11 | 16:51 |
| genoobie | so I booted puppy linux, (3.0.25) and set up the wireless | 16:51 |
| genoobie | that verified the card was working | 16:51 |
| genoobie | so then I rebooted puppy and "voila" | 16:51 |
| genoobie | here's what I noticed and maybe you could point me to the right channel, etc. | 16:52 |
| genoobie | every time I did rfkill commands, there was some output like 3: phy0: Wireless LAN | 16:52 |
| genoobie | slowly, that leftmost number started to increment down, don't know why. | 16:52 |
| phillw | it could be that the driver is not in the ubuntu kernel. But my battles with kernel are painful :) | 16:52 |
| genoobie | finally, we are at "0: phy0: Wireless LAN" | 16:53 |
| genoobie | and now this is the scenario that works | 16:53 |
| genoobie | so my guess is they are somehow related | 16:53 |
| genoobie | the "scan" always produced no results even though the adapter was "up | 16:53 |
| genoobie | *up | 16:53 |
| genoobie | anyhow, any ideas? I imagine this is a kind of bug report? Booting into puppy linux and having it work is probably unrelated to the "fix" | 16:54 |
| phillw | wifi should turn up on either lsusb or lspci (usually lsusb) | 16:54 |
| genoobie | yep, reported in lspi | 16:54 |
| genoobie | lspci | 16:54 |
| genoobie | I did throw a couple "options" on to the ath5k driver, nohwcrypt and no_hw_rfkill_switch | 16:55 |
| phillw | genoobie: what is the make / model that lspci reports? | 16:55 |
| genoobie | 07:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168c:001c] (rev 01) | 16:56 |
| genoobie | now, let me add one other thing | 16:56 |
| genoobie | when I did the iwlist wlan0 scan command in cli | 16:56 |
| genoobie | it reported no networks | 16:56 |
| genoobie | so it's not the gui that is suspect | 16:57 |
| phillw | does http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k not have information on what driver you need? | 16:57 |
| genoobie | phillw, not sure what this means "*** = PCI-E Lite = No SuperA/G" | 16:58 |
| genoobie | so it cannot access some chip features | 16:58 |
| phillw | genoobie: ahh.. may have found it... http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci/168c%3A001c/ | 16:58 |
| genoobie | well it is the ath5k driver for sure | 16:59 |
| genoobie | so it wasn't a "driver" issue per se | 16:59 |
| genoobie | did quite a few modprobe -r ath5k modprobe ath5k commands | 16:59 |
| genoobie | but I think the enumeration / indexing was the problem | 17:00 |
| genoobie | not sure exactly what that output from rfkill meant as far as "3: phy0: Wireless LAN" | 17:00 |
| phillw | I cannot 'play' with that, as I don't have the actual hardware.... but you can see it has been got working | 17:00 |
| genoobie | yes, but quite by accident and if I reinstalled lubuntu, I wouldn't know how to "fix" it | 17:01 |
| phillw | genoobie: motto of the story?... take notes :P | 17:02 |
| genoobie | yes, but there was no "notes" to take | 17:02 |
| genoobie | all I noticed was that after booting pupplinx, the adapter worked | 17:02 |
| phillw | well, you did 'something' :P | 17:02 |
| genoobie | probably coincedence | 17:02 |
| genoobie | I don't know if I did though | 17:02 |
| phillw | quite possibly.. a poke in the ribs can wake up hardware :) | 17:03 |
| genoobie | so if I could find out why the enumeration on the rfkill command was incrementing down until "0" I would probably have the solution | 17:03 |
| genoobie | I suppose there could be like a "last" state | 17:03 |
| genoobie | or something | 17:03 |
| Odd0002 | hello | 18:23 |
| Odd0002 | I'd like to know how I can reduce cpu usage on boot: http://imagebin.org/316341 | 18:25 |
| Odd0002 | so that it boots faster | 18:25 |
| phillw | hi Odd0002 welcome to this little crazy area :) | 18:25 |
| phillw | Odd0002: what OS are you using? | 18:25 |
| Odd0002 | lubuntu | 18:25 |
| Odd0002 | it seems cpu is the limiting factor in my boot time | 18:26 |
| phillw | when initramfs is 1st built, you have ~ 30 seconds to log in for ureadahead to do its bit of setting up a contiguous area to boot from. | 18:26 |
| Odd0002 | I switched to e4rat from ureadahead | 18:27 |
| phillw | Odd0002: then you would need to ask on their support area :) | 18:28 |
| Odd0002 | but if you look at the boot log, my boot time is cpu bound after everything is loaded into ram... | 18:28 |
| phillw | Odd0002: you chose your boot manager, we do not use it. | 18:29 |
| Odd0002 | I switched to e4rat to "defragment" the boot files (put them all together in one place) | 18:31 |
| Odd0002 | I'll try without it preloading | 18:31 |
| Odd0002_ | how many reboots does ureadahead need to profile a boot? | 18:44 |
| Odd0002_ | *reboots a few times* | 18:45 |
| mikubuntu | while some video streams with great audio, i find that many are very difficult to hear even at full volume sets on the video, and the lubuntu soundbar as well. is there any kind of application that will boost the sound? here's the video i'm trying to hear: http://thefloridachannel.org/videos/72414-2nd-judicial-circuit-court-hearing-congressional-redistricting/ | 20:59 |

| ianorlin | on the session screen? | 23:34 |
| malaphus | Yeah | 23:34 |
| ianorlin | for which session for lubuntu I don't know to change where it shows custom logo | 23:35 |
