[04:05] <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
[04:07] <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] <holstein> willz06jw: its great to offer.. thanks!
[04:10] <willz06jw> thanks for the fast response.  I will donate to ubuntu in the hopes that a sheckel or two shoots down to lubuntu.
[04:35] <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?
[04:38] <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?
[05:01] <macksting> Hrm. Not a good sign.
[05:02] <Unit193> macksting: What type of backup?  You can do full image, or just grab the important files.
[05:03] <macksting> I was thinking an image.
[05:03] <macksting> Something where, should all go awry, I can restore it and actually have it function.
[05:04] <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
[05:06] <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.
[05:07]  * macksting looks up clonezilla
[05:09] <Unit193> Just not the server part of it, never used that.  Old game: OMF2097 and slightly old: StarCraft. :P
[05:14] <macksting> To be fair, I have games old enough to run for governor.
[05:14] <macksting> Fallout 1 is old enough to get drafted.
[05:18] <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."
[05:19]  * macksting is downloading Clonezilla.
[05:41] <macksting> Hrm. I seem to have buggered something up. I'm'a restart. Thank you for your assistance.
[05:42] <macksting> Ta for now.
[05:57] <sjoshi> hello, i am not able to see any battery/power manager in the indicator applets. How can i get it?
[05:58] <sjoshi> using Lubuntu desktop on Ubuntu 14.04
[07:24] <Cervantes> hi, anyone know how to solve "broken package and unmet dependencies" problems?
[07:25] <Cervantes> i can't install couple of stuffs since using lubuntu.
[13:13] <rmyc> hey does anybody know how to completely remove any locks and any formof sleeping on ubuntu
[13:13] <rmyc> no matter what i can't remove or disable light locker
[19:41] <BuntuTech> good afternoon lubuntu technicians
[20:33] <AndresDollar> alguien ayuda a novato desamparado?
[20:35] <AndresDollar> holas alguien ayuda a novato desamparado :(
[20:36] <ianorlin> !es
[20:36] <AndresDollar> thanks! i see sorry
[20:37] <ianorlin> If you also speak English it would be nice to know specifically what the problem is
[20:39] <AndresDollar> yes ,too get found channel in spanish, but my english is very poor im know not if my undertand me
[20:41] <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
[20:45] <AndresDollar> as I can restore from the session openbox guest?
[20:47] <testdr> AndresDollar: no -- no admin rights for guest - you need the lubuntu-live-version to boot from and repair - or create new user
[20:49] <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
[20:54] <Andresdollar> 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] <Andresdollar> but specifically deleted file? guess I erased and the system retrieves default?
[21:00] <ianorlin> yes
[21:01] <Andresdollar> as? sorry am a newbie also being from guest session not let me delete that folder config?
[21:03] <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
[21:04] <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?
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <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
[21:08] <forthewin> testdr: yea my 2000 desktop only has 512ram and i need every drop of speed i can get
[21:09] <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.
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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?
[21:12] <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
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <ianorlin> although if a different kernel version regression bugs can break things
[21:15] <nmsm> forthewin mine took 20/30 minutes with updates on a M Celeron CPU
[21:16] <nmsm> try to directly install it without booting on the live session
[21:17] <nmsm> it installs faster
[21:20] <Andresdollar> i follow this tutorial http://tweakies.blogspot.com/2014/04/lxde-compiz.html (translate to english) ... and is the oringin of my problem :(
[21:22] <[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!
[21:23] <[SLB]> sorry i don't speak porto eheh
[21:24] <nmsm> ok sorry mate, thoght you were portuguese
[21:25] <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
[21:27] <nmsm> cheers ;)
[21:28] <[SLB]> :)
[21:29] <nmsm> hehehe i support their rival FC Porto hehe i actually born there, nevertheless, tricked me this time hehehe
