| willz06jw | please excuse me if this has been answered many times: where can I donate a buck or two for lubuntu. It greatly helped me and I want to make sure it doesn | 04:05 |
|---|---|---|
| willz06jw | t go away | 04:05 |
| holstein | willz06jw: AFAIK, you cant.. you can only contribute time, or, theoretically, pay someone else to contribute time, or contribute $$ upstream somewhere | 04:07 |
| holstein | !contribute | 04:07 |
| ubottu | To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://community.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu | 04:07 |
| holstein | willz06jw: its great to offer.. thanks! | 04:07 |
| willz06jw | thanks for the fast response. I will donate to ubuntu in the hopes that a sheckel or two shoots down to lubuntu. | 04:10 |
| macksting | Howdy. I'm trying to figure out how to do something which sounds simple, but my Google fu is awful and just isn't yielding anything I can grasp or which is applicable. How do I use Linux, Lubuntu in particular, to back up my XP partition? | 04:35 |
| Boscop | should i select "install updates automaticall"? when will it do this? as a cron job? | 04:38 |
| Boscop | does it make sense for a server? | 04:38 |
| Boscop | how can i change this setting later? | 04:38 |
| macksting | Hrm. Not a good sign. | 05:01 |
| Unit193 | macksting: What type of backup? You can do full image, or just grab the important files. | 05:02 |
| macksting | I was thinking an image. | 05:03 |
| macksting | Something where, should all go awry, I can restore it and actually have it function. | 05:03 |
| macksting | Got a few games in particular which simply don't function in Wine, and at their age the support's never going to come. | 05:04 |
| Unit193 | Clonezilla would be my goto. | 05:04 |
| Unit193 | Old enough and you can go dosbox. :P | 05:04 |
| macksting | Well, I DID manage to get Win95 working in DosBox, but I never did figure out how to get it to mount the CD drive running off that drive... | 05:06 |
| macksting | The other game which required Win3.1 went a lot smoother through DosBox. It was so cute. It thought it was a computer. | 05:06 |
| * macksting looks up clonezilla | 05:07 | |
| Unit193 | Just not the server part of it, never used that. Old game: OMF2097 and slightly old: StarCraft. :P | 05:09 |
| macksting | To be fair, I have games old enough to run for governor. | 05:14 |
| macksting | Fallout 1 is old enough to get drafted. | 05:14 |
| macksting | Video games old enough to run for president are pretty rare. I don't think I have any of those. I imagine some have to be played on an oscillascope. | 05:18 |
| macksting | For now, I'm okay calling 1996 games "old." | 05:18 |
| * macksting is downloading Clonezilla. | 05:19 | |
| macksting | Hrm. I seem to have buggered something up. I'm'a restart. Thank you for your assistance. | 05:41 |
| macksting | Ta for now. | 05:42 |
| sjoshi | hello, i am not able to see any battery/power manager in the indicator applets. How can i get it? | 05:57 |

| Cervantes | hi, anyone know how to solve "broken package and unmet dependencies" problems? | 07:24 |

| AndresDollar | alguien ayuda a novato desamparado? | 20:33 |
| AndresDollar | holas alguien ayuda a novato desamparado :( | 20:35 |
| ianorlin | !es | 20:36 |
| AndresDollar | thanks! i see sorry | 20:36 |
| ianorlin | If you also speak English it would be nice to know specifically what the problem is | 20:37 |
| AndresDollar | yes ,too get found channel in spanish, but my english is very poor im know not if my undertand me | 20:39 |
| AndresDollar | I'm from a session guest on my lxde is vergonsoso but I think damage the openbox because the system is hanging when I enter my personal session | 20:41 |
| AndresDollar | as I can restore from the session openbox guest? | 20:45 |
| testdr | AndresDollar: no -- no admin rights for guest - you need the lubuntu-live-version to boot from and repair - or create new user | 20:47 |
| testdr | AndresDollar: you can try to login on a terminal -- strg+alt-F1/F2.. - and change the bad data of your openbox-session in your home-directory in the files of ./config | 20:49 |
| Andresdollar | the problem too in my quest session :/ | 20:54 |
| [SLB] | it should be sufficient to delete the config files as testdr said | 20:57 |
| [SLB] | or rename them in any case | 20:57 |
| Andresdollar | but specifically deleted file? guess I erased and the system retrieves default? | 20:59 |
| ianorlin | yes | 21:00 |
| Andresdollar | as? sorry am a newbie also being from guest session not let me delete that folder config? | 21:01 |
| testdr | Andresdollar: in your guest-session try to switch to a console-terminal with strg+alt+F1 and there login with your old admin-account. Then you can rename your local configs like this: mv .local .local-old | 21:03 |
| ianorlin | couldn't he su into his old account from lxterminal in the guest session as well | 21:04 |
| forthewin | hi, my iso only asks me to install lubuntu. I want to try live session first. How, please? | 21:04 |
| ianorlin | forthewin: did you download the alternate installer? | 21:04 |
| ianorlin | because alternate installer is better for really old computers but doens't have a live session | 21:05 |
| forthewin | ianorlin: yeah the alternate installer ok i understand now | 21:05 |
| forthewin | thank you | 21:05 |
| ianorlin | having a cd with live session around can be useful | 21:06 |
| testdr | forthewin: the alternate-installer is necessary for install on computers with less than 500-700 Megabytes memory | 21:06 |
| forthewin | testdr: yea my 2000 desktop only has 512ram and i need every drop of speed i can get | 21:08 |
| testdr | forthewin: then you can try the lubuntu-live-version, but the install from this could fail. The install is only a question if you want to install it to the harddisk. | 21:09 |
| forthewin | it is on mint mate right now and it is crawling | 21:10 |
| forthewin | testdr: guess ill just go for it and install, nothing much to lose | 21:10 |
| nmsm | hi everyone | 21:10 |
| ianorlin | you could try the live disk and then install from alternate but live session won't run the best with 512 mb or ram | 21:10 |
| forthewin | ianorlin: true, but it wont be representative of its real performance, so i got to install and see for myself | 21:11 |
| testdr | forthewin: there are 3 ways to do the install: 1. without live-version, 2. out of the live-version (needs more memory), 3. with internet-updates during install(needs more memory) -- you get it? | 21:11 |
| forthewin | testdr: ok i think i do, i will do number 1 | 21:12 |
| ianorlin | yeah livecd aren't that great for performance anyway as it is slow to access disk | 21:12 |
| forthewin | just hoping it doesnt take 90 minutes to get past the 90% mark like i saw on a blog somewhere | 21:12 |
| testdr | but live-version is an easy way to test if the hardware is supported and the main-tools may fit | 21:12 |
| nmsm | forthewin me too, i just wiped mint mate... here my compaq nx9030 with 715 RAM was struggling.. on lubuntu now and it's blazing fast | 21:13 |
| ianorlin | if it runs fine iwth compatibility on mint but is slow then hardware testing is not as nescary | 21:13 |
| ianorlin | although if a different kernel version regression bugs can break things | 21:14 |
| nmsm | forthewin mine took 20/30 minutes with updates on a M Celeron CPU | 21:15 |
| nmsm | try to directly install it without booting on the live session | 21:16 |
| nmsm | it installs faster | 21:17 |
| Andresdollar | i follow this tutorial http://tweakies.blogspot.com/2014/04/lxde-compiz.html (translate to english) ... and is the oringin of my problem :( | 21:20 |
| [SLB] | Andresdollar, you probably have screwed here windows_manager/command=compiz --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints cpp | 21:22 |
| nmsm | slb tuga, boa noite | 21:22 |
| testdr | Andresdollar: spanish - portugal? - but who ever tries compiz (the 3d-enhancements and eye-candys) does not need lxde and openbox to save memory and performance! | 21:22 |
| [SLB] | sorry i don't speak porto eheh | 21:23 |
| nmsm | ok sorry mate, thoght you were portuguese | 21:24 |
| Andresdollar | spanish | 21:25 |
| [SLB] | no worries, it often happens on irc with my nick :p | 21:25 |
| nmsm | hehehe it's because of Benfica's | 21:25 |
| [SLB] | yups | 21:25 |
| nmsm | cheers ;) | 21:27 |
| [SLB] | :) | 21:28 |
| nmsm | hehehe i support their rival FC Porto hehe i actually born there, nevertheless, tricked me this time hehehe | 21:29 |
