=== airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [04:05] 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] t go away [04:07] willz06jw: AFAIK, you cant.. you can only contribute time, or, theoretically, pay someone else to contribute time, or contribute $$ upstream somewhere [04:07] !contribute [04:07] To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://community.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu [04:07] willz06jw: its great to offer.. thanks! [04:10] thanks for the fast response. I will donate to ubuntu in the hopes that a sheckel or two shoots down to lubuntu. [04:35] 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? [04:38] should i select "install updates automaticall"? when will it do this? as a cron job? [04:38] does it make sense for a server? [04:38] how can i change this setting later? [05:01] Hrm. Not a good sign. [05:02] macksting: What type of backup? You can do full image, or just grab the important files. [05:03] I was thinking an image. [05:03] Something where, should all go awry, I can restore it and actually have it function. [05:04] 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] Clonezilla would be my goto. [05:04] Old enough and you can go dosbox. :P [05:06] 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] The other game which required Win3.1 went a lot smoother through DosBox. It was so cute. It thought it was a computer. [05:07] * macksting looks up clonezilla [05:09] Just not the server part of it, never used that. Old game: OMF2097 and slightly old: StarCraft. :P [05:14] To be fair, I have games old enough to run for governor. [05:14] Fallout 1 is old enough to get drafted. [05:18] 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] For now, I'm okay calling 1996 games "old." [05:19] * macksting is downloading Clonezilla. [05:41] Hrm. I seem to have buggered something up. I'm'a restart. Thank you for your assistance. [05:42] Ta for now. [05:57] hello, i am not able to see any battery/power manager in the indicator applets. How can i get it? [05:58] using Lubuntu desktop on Ubuntu 14.04 [07:24] hi, anyone know how to solve "broken package and unmet dependencies" problems? [07:25] i can't install couple of stuffs since using lubuntu. [13:13] hey does anybody know how to completely remove any locks and any formof sleeping on ubuntu [13:13] no matter what i can't remove or disable light locker [19:41] good afternoon lubuntu technicians [20:33] alguien ayuda a novato desamparado? [20:35] holas alguien ayuda a novato desamparado :( [20:36] !es [20:36] thanks! i see sorry [20:37] If you also speak English it would be nice to know specifically what the problem is [20:39] yes ,too get found channel in spanish, but my english is very poor im know not if my undertand me [20:41] 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 [20:45] as I can restore from the session openbox guest? [20:47] AndresDollar: no -- no admin rights for guest - you need the lubuntu-live-version to boot from and repair - or create new user [20:49] 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 [20:54] the problem too in my quest session :/ [20:57] <[SLB]> it should be sufficient to delete the config files as testdr said [20:57] <[SLB]> or rename them in any case [20:59] but specifically deleted file? guess I erased and the system retrieves default? [21:00] yes [21:01] as? sorry am a newbie also being from guest session not let me delete that folder config? [21:03] 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 [21:04] couldn't he su into his old account from lxterminal in the guest session as well [21:04] hi, my iso only asks me to install lubuntu. I want to try live session first. How, please? [21:04] forthewin: did you download the alternate installer? [21:05] because alternate installer is better for really old computers but doens't have a live session [21:05] ianorlin: yeah the alternate installer ok i understand now [21:05] thank you [21:06] having a cd with live session around can be useful [21:06] forthewin: the alternate-installer is necessary for install on computers with less than 500-700 Megabytes memory [21:08] testdr: yea my 2000 desktop only has 512ram and i need every drop of speed i can get [21:09] 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. [21:10] it is on mint mate right now and it is crawling [21:10] testdr: guess ill just go for it and install, nothing much to lose [21:10] hi everyone [21:10] you could try the live disk and then install from alternate but live session won't run the best with 512 mb or ram [21:11] ianorlin: true, but it wont be representative of its real performance, so i got to install and see for myself [21:11] 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? [21:12] testdr: ok i think i do, i will do number 1 [21:12] yeah livecd aren't that great for performance anyway as it is slow to access disk [21:12] just hoping it doesnt take 90 minutes to get past the 90% mark like i saw on a blog somewhere [21:12] but live-version is an easy way to test if the hardware is supported and the main-tools may fit [21:13] 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] if it runs fine iwth compatibility on mint but is slow then hardware testing is not as nescary [21:14] although if a different kernel version regression bugs can break things [21:15] forthewin mine took 20/30 minutes with updates on a M Celeron CPU [21:16] try to directly install it without booting on the live session [21:17] it installs faster [21:20] i follow this tutorial http://tweakies.blogspot.com/2014/04/lxde-compiz.html (translate to english) ... and is the oringin of my problem :( [21:22] <[SLB]> Andresdollar, you probably have screwed here windows_manager/command=compiz --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints cpp [21:22] slb tuga, boa noite [21:22] 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! [21:23] <[SLB]> sorry i don't speak porto eheh [21:24] ok sorry mate, thoght you were portuguese [21:25] spanish [21:25] <[SLB]> no worries, it often happens on irc with my nick :p [21:25] hehehe it's because of Benfica's [21:25] <[SLB]> yups [21:27] cheers ;) [21:28] <[SLB]> :) [21:29] hehehe i support their rival FC Porto hehe i actually born there, nevertheless, tricked me this time hehehe [21:30] hey guys, just spent the last couple of hours playing around and fixing up an old dell inspiron 1501 amd sempron (lol) It worked for a hot moment like a dream after i upped the ram [21:30] but then after a few successful reboots it went to a black screen with a cursor after login! [21:30] anyone eer seen this issue?
