[03:24] <BuntuTech> hi lubu techs
[12:59] <DevRandom``> Greetings lxdians
[13:00] <DevRandom``> how do i zoom the desktop like windows 8  "winkey" and + combo
[13:04] <DevRandom``> or is there an app to provide desktop zoom effects to enlarge the view ?
[13:07] <DevRandom``> <using a cheap projector to view picture on my wall in low-resolution
[13:08] <delphus> hi all
[13:12] <Ateist> Hi, who can help me? I have a problem with USB scancode reader, and I'm new in linux.
[13:15] <DevRandom``> usb scancode...mmm sounds like trouble....
[13:16] <Ateist> Yes, it scans not full bar code, everytime one number is missing.
[13:17] <Ateist> sorry for my poor english :)
[13:18] <Ateist> In windows everythink is OK, but in different ubuntu versions same problem.
[13:19] <Ateist> For example: I get 5449172 instead of 54491472
[13:20] <Ateist> or I get 885697000016 instead of 8856976000016
[13:26] <DevRandom``> best to google the brand/model + ubuntu   (or check the ID using lsub in terminal and searching that.  Must be some know-how on the forums...sorry my browser went kaput
[13:27] <pibarnas_> hi folks. lxappearance-obconf stopped working. Its tab even even aren't shown in lxappearance. Any ideas?
[13:28] <Ateist> Thanks for advice, but that didn't help
[13:30] <DevRandom``> Atiest...random stab:  could be a driver bug or a driver option that needs setting, or sometimes a udev rule that isn't set right...
[13:30] <DevRandom``> use lsmod and modinfo to figure out what driver it uses
[13:31] <Ateist> Ok, 1 min
[13:31] <DevRandom``> then maybe trouble shoot it. ??
[13:34] <DevRandom``> Ateist:  maybe this:   dmesg | grep usb
[13:35] <Ateist> 1 min, I'll try
[13:38] <Ateist> dmesg gave my  Idvendor:0745, but Idvendor:0000
[13:39] <Ateist> Sorry id product:0000
[13:43] <testdr> Ateist: you may try question about this hardware in normal ubuntu-channels like: #ubuntu or for your language
[13:44] <Ateist> I there also :)
[14:23] <ilhami> Anybody here?
[14:25] <TheSchaf> no, everyone bombed
[14:25] <TheSchaf> :p
[14:28] <DevRandom`> Ateist:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BarcodeReaders
[14:30] <DevRandom`> Wonder if minicom or any serial terminal would test/read from it.
[14:35] <Glycan> Hi, I'm trying to recover file and hopefully fix a Lubuntu system. I try to boot Knoppix off a flash key and it fails saying: "/init: line 975: mount: not found" twice, then "/init: exec: line 1033: /sbin/init: Input/output error". What chan should I go to?
[14:35] <Glycan> Normally booting my Lubuntu system says something about I/O errors, falls into fsck, which raises a bunch more errors that I do not understand "failed command: READ DMA.... error: { UNC }", ending with "fsck / [275] terminated with status 4"
[14:47] <testdr> Glycan: why Knoppix? Does the Ubuntu-Live-System (from Installation) not work?
[15:02] <Boscop> in uxterm or xterm i can't paste the clipboard. how can i enable it? (what's the diff between the two xterms)
[15:32] <Glycan> testdr: mearly because I prefer knoppix in general
[15:43] <Slit> Hi! When would lxqt be default on Lubuntu?
[17:21] <wxl> phillw: i don't know why my mobile quoted the message at the end when i replied inline. or maybe i forgot to delete it all. no worries.
[17:23] <phillw> I left it in hold, owing to the earlier email about etiquette :)
[17:26] <wxl> phillw: i killed it
[17:27] <phillw> I left it for you.. I think the other one is of similar ilk.
[17:27] <wxl> i think you'll find it's not there
[17:27] <wxl> also i love how after noticing the email you top post on a 2nd level quote :)
[17:28] <phillw> I quote via gmail... so go complain to them
[17:28] <wxl> so do i
[17:28] <wxl> pebkac
[17:29] <phillw> reply to...
[17:29] <wxl> i do too
[17:29] <phillw> so, that is what it gets
[17:29] <wxl> pebkac
[17:29] <wxl> :)
[17:33] <phillw> pray tell where :)
[17:33] <wxl> click the ellipsis, edit to your liking, reply where you want
[17:34] <phillw> kk, I'll do some editing in future :)
[17:35] <phillw> I read that Julien has been back in touch about the bug on reporting bugs you flagged up.
[17:35] <wxl> yep
[17:36] <wxl> known bug that i couldnt' find
[17:36] <wxl> the sourceforge bug has had some interesting discussions
[17:36] <wxl> i'm convinced that lxsession handles logging poorly
[17:37] <phillw> well, the boss is aware... nothing more that we mere mortals can do :)
[17:37] <wxl> well perhaps not
[17:37] <wxl> i just don't have time to dig deep into it :(
[17:37] <phillw> is there a qtsession suite out yet?
[17:37] <wxl> not a working one that i'm aware of
[17:38] <wxl> ARGH
[17:38] <wxl> do you have a link to the bug where we couldn't get to the gui?
[17:38] <phillw> he'll have to allocate some time if it is lxsession as lubuntu needs to roll back fixes
[17:39] <phillw> what, on update?
[17:39] <phillw> in 14.10?
[17:39] <wxl> well it was a problem with beta2 too
[17:40] <phillw> wxl: this one? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1363919
[17:40] <wxl> i don't think so
[17:40]  * wxl cries
[17:40] <wxl> it affected all flavors
[17:40] <wxl> i used the wrong link on the release notes
[17:44] <wxl> sheesh https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1371651
[17:49] <phillw> wxl: an email that should link to the archives has been forwarded to you.
[17:49] <wxl> phillw: that was the one i was looking for above
[17:50] <phillw> wxl: I've not any complaints...
[17:52] <Boscop> in uxterm or xterm i can't paste the clipboard. how can i enable it? (what's the diff between the two xterms)
[17:53] <phillw> Boscop: use Accessories --> LXTerminal
[17:54] <phillw> Boscop: those two are from core install. They are on the list to be removed at install, but low priority
[17:54] <wxl> Boscop: you might try shift-insert or middle click, as those are the standard x way of doing things
[17:55] <Boscop> phillw: i just installed the minimal version. so just apt-get install lxterminal?
[18:05] <wxl> Boscop: if you want to go that route, yes
[18:06] <Boscop> wxl: what's the diff between uxterm and xterm?
[18:07] <phillw> Boscop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall#Full_install.2C_minimal_install_or_core_install
[18:09] <wxl> !info uxterm
[18:09] <wxl> :/
[18:10] <wxl> Boscop: uxterm supports unicode.
[18:11] <phillw> one some of my VM's with KVM it still has issues with standard lxterminal, so I use UXTerm to get a good stable terminal session within the GUI
[18:12] <Boscop> ah thx
[18:23] <Boscop> wxl, phillw: but xterm seems to use a different clipboard than firefox?
[18:23] <wxl> Boscop: have you used linux before?
[18:23] <Boscop> yes
[18:23] <wxl> ok then hopefully you know there are three clipboards, right?
[18:23] <Boscop> but i can't paste in firefox what i copied in xterm
[18:23] <Boscop> no
[18:24] <wxl> well there ya go :)
[18:24] <Boscop> what is the third?
[18:24] <wxl> well the third rarely gets used so we can kind of ignore that
[18:24] <wxl> but there ARE three
[18:24] <wxl> try going to firefox and using shift-insert
[18:26] <ianorlin> also shift+insert is the same clipboard as the middle mouse button right?
[18:26] <wxl> yes
[18:26] <Boscop> i tried that
[18:26] <wxl> neither worked?
[18:27] <Boscop> hm, it doesn't even seem to copy stuff
[18:27] <wxl> if it didn't work, you probably didn't copy right from uxterm
[18:27] <Boscop> before, it auto copied stuff that i selected
[18:27] <Boscop> but not anymore
[18:27] <Boscop> how to copy?
[18:27] <wxl> hm that is quite strange
[18:27] <wxl> it should
[18:27] <wxl> (btw all of these problems are SO MUCH EASIER with lxterminal)
[18:28] <wxl> you could try ^c or shift^c
[18:28] <wxl> but select should done it
[18:28] <wxl> s/ne//
[18:29] <Boscop> yeah, i installed it now
[21:15] <ol_dude67> what command is it to check my video for the right driver. i know its ati. just not sure which chip.
[21:16] <ol_dude67> hey i know, ask google. duh.
[21:16] <BuntuTech> hi
[21:18] <testdr> ol_dude67: check the output of lspci or use the tool hardinfo
[21:22] <ol_dude67> got it.now should i have a specific driver for a hd 4200?
[21:26] <ianorlin> ol_dude67: intel hd4200
[21:26] <ianorlin> the intel open source one is used by default and is used by that
[21:28] <ol_dude67> better question, sorry been awhile since last using lubuntu.
[21:29] <ol_dude67> docs on getting vga and hdmi to play together better?
[21:29] <ol_dude67> with that driver on fresh install.
[23:26] <Julie7> Hi! I installed Lubuntu for a family member before he went back home. Now he calls me and tells me that his computer shuts down every 90 minute (or so) with a loud "beeping sound" right before it happens. What could/would cause this?
[23:33] <BuntuTech> ck power settings
[23:33] <Julie7> BuntuTech: What?
[23:34] <BuntuTech> hi julie
[23:34] <Julie7> BuntuTech: Hi.
[23:34] <Julie7> What do you mean?
[23:35] <BuntuTech> nvm i dont think there is a power setting in any OS that would do that
[23:35] <Julie7> BuntuTech: :(
[23:35] <BuntuTech> my 1st thought is hardware problem
[23:36] <Julie7> BuntuTech: Oh, no.
[23:38] <BuntuTech> for example-heat could cause that
[23:40] <BuntuTech> computers will shut down if they get too hot
[23:40] <BuntuTech> is it a laptop or desktop?
[23:45] <BuntuTech> my gaming laptop started doing that too me a couple years ago when i was playing a particular game that used to work the livin heck out of my graphics card-i installed freee temerature monitor and sure enough my laptop was going over 180 degrees F...graphics card was even hotter-so i took off the back covers and blew t our with air-a srprising plume of dust came out. next-i bought a laptop cooler and placed it under my laptop-especially when
[23:45] <BuntuTech> i played that game. luckily all my fans were till working and to this day that laptop is fine. i literally vaccuum it regularly and occasionaly take of the back covers and blow it out again. temps are normal now.
[23:46] <BuntuTech> but honeslty it could be other issues too...im no expert
[23:46] <BuntuTech> might ask in the hardware channel too
