[05:55] <tha51m> hello
[09:47] <rastko> Hi! I have set up a pxe server to install Ubuntu minimal and configured a preseed file to install lubuntu-core and some other packages. Can anyone help me figure out why some packages are not installed? The most troublesome is openssh-server. This is my preseed option: d-i pkgsel/include openssh-server lubuntu-core firefox flashplugin-installer libreoffice vim evince-gtk virtualbox
[09:48] <rastko> Everything installs except openssh-server, any ideas why?
[10:29] <rastko> Never mind... missing "string" before openssh-server. Testing it now...
[11:25] <kristal> Will Lubuntu have an experimental LXQt spin like Kubuntu has a Plasma5 next release?
[11:25] <leszek> kristal: there are already experimental lxqt spins
[11:26] <kristal> Is it still on openbox or using kwin?
[11:27] <leszek> kristal: I did not test it yet. So not sure. I guess it is still using openbox though as this is the recommend window manager for lxqt
[11:28] <kristal> openbox's creator seems to be going insane and kwin is lightyears ahead in tech, since LXDE is goign Qt the WM with official Qt support makes sense
[11:31] <Garbonzo> kristal: what's the story with openbox? hadn't heard about that
[11:34] <kristal> Garbonzo:  Jansens has drank the SJW favour aid
[11:34] <leszek> kristal: yeah in my opinion kwin is better and it has a future with kwin_wayland. So sooner or later a switch would be wise. However this can still take a while
[11:37] <kristal> leszek: A lot of KDE people have been wanting a mini Qt/Kwin desktop for years, https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2l5qwo/do_you_know_c_qt_you_can_contribute_to_lxqt/
[11:43] <silverlion> o/ everybody
[11:44] <Garbonzo> hi silverlion
[18:31] <ath1> where can I find instructions to configure my PC for win7 / ubuntu dual boot?
[18:31] <ath1> I want to use the win7 boot loader
[18:31] <silverlion> ath1, that'll not going to be easy
[18:32] <silverlion> I have win7 with dualboot too and tried that... you may want to choose grub2 for boot loader
[18:33] <ath1> I already tried to install win7 first and ubuntu second (with grub). Then I copied the MBR to the win7 partition and added it to BCD.
[18:34] <ath1> Then I repaired the MBR within the win7 recovery console.
[18:35] <ath1> I can boot win7 now, but when I try to boot linux, the PC just restarts.
[18:37] <ath1> This always worked with grub1 but grub2 seems to handle things differently
[19:02] <Novice201y> Hello. I installed Lubuntu Minimal on my netbook, end during boot time I see only flashing command promnt. Full Lubuntu works OK. What can I do?
[19:04] <testdr> Novice201y: what do u see? You expect graphics-gui? Did you install it?
[19:07] <Novice201y> testdr, CLI would be enought. But I see only flashing command promnt "_", and cannot type anything.
[19:09] <testdr> Novice201y: try boot-option "nomodeset" - you need to edit the grub-boot-menu line - press "e" for edit, change it and then strg-x to boot the changed one. If it works, you may need to make the change fixed. And check you hardware-specs for such hints. mayby something more.
[19:10] <Novice201y> testdr, But this "_" appears shortly after info screen about BIOS.
[19:11] <Novice201y> testdr, And full version works OK.
[19:13] <testdr> Novice201y: you are not speaking about a booted linux-kernel? you speak about the boot-grub-menu? Maybe you have a graphic-setting for it, that wont work. Then the only way is to boot the live-cd-version and change the setting from this on the harddisk. Could be you need textmode for the grub-menu.
[19:15] <testdr> Novice201y: but like already said: check your hardware-specs for any hints about it. Normaly this never happened for me (with a lot different hardware)
[19:15] <Novice201y> testdr, I rebooted netbook with installation-USB now and Lubuntu started.
[19:17] <Novice201y> testdr, But without USB-pendrive system doesn't start.
[19:17] <testdr> Novice201y: what system? The ubuntu-live-version on the usb-stick or the installed version?
[19:17] <Novice201y> testdr, Lubuntu Minimal from .iso
[19:19] <testdr> Novice201y: then do the install again and carefully note what you are doing. maybe the installation is corrupted - no clean install to boot. And you should give any hints about the hardware you are using!
[19:21] <Novice201y> testdr, I copied one library from Ubuntu into pendrive, cause Unetbootin didn't do that. Maybe that the problem?
[19:24] <testdr> Novice201y: sorry, i dont know from what you are speaking. If you have a faulty install-version, then create a new one . The last lubuntu-mini-iso i used successful was the 14.04 iso, but the newer 14.04.1 should work the same.
[19:33] <Novice201y> testdr, After "burning" .iso on pendrive, I receive message about lack of /menu.c32 file. Even for 14.04
[19:36] <testdr> Novice201y: i dont know anything about "burning". I "installed" the lubuntu-mini-iso direct like this - if the usb-stick is /dev/sdc, then with:   dd   if=lubuntu-14.04-alternate-i386.iso    of=/dev/sdc
[19:41] <Novice201y> testdr, I'll do it!
[19:42] <Novice201y> testdr, I receive "isolinux.bin" missing or corrupt for that prepared pendrive.
[19:47] <Novice201y> testdr, I'll try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb
[19:47] <testdr> Novice201y: check your hardware! I dont wanna guess whether the hardware cannot boot from usb or the boot-method was correct choosen or the usb-stick is bootable. For some old hardware, that could not boot from usb. I used the "plop" boot-manager to let it boot from the usb-stick.
[19:48] <testdr> Novice201y: so you did not use the "dd"-command like i wrote done?
[19:51] <Novice201y> testdr, Works! Installer started after boot.
[19:52] <Novice201y> testdr,https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb
[19:52] <testdr> Novice201y: fine - that should already work - but i dont know what you did to make it work now.
[19:52] <Novice201y> Novice201y, I used mkusb
[21:47] <muluntu> Can i do the same things with lubuntu as with xubuntu ? have both allmost the same fuctions ?
[21:48] <wxl> muluntu: well, this is a complicated question. in general yes, but the devil's in the details. give me some examples.
[21:48] <muluntu> sharing networks ?
[21:48] <wxl> muluntu: no problem
[21:53] <dust> how to switch off if u press some keys longer that the input hangs at keyboard... not anymore possible to use the keyboard and it acted like the up key is pressed
[22:11] <muluntu> is chromium included in lubuntu or was that before ? I only find firefox.
[22:11] <dust> is in repo
[22:12] <ianorlin> it is in repo but no longer default
[22:12] <wxl> muluntu: we went back and forth on that issue but we decided to use firefox
[22:13] <wxl> muluntu: biggest reason why is probably the fact that the chromium package wasn't well maintained and was always way behind the upstream source. bad idea for a browser.
[22:13] <dust> is orca installed? and the reason fore the pain?
[22:13] <wxl> muluntu: if you want a secure chrome experience, i actually recommend using google chrome. they house their own repository and installing it will add the repo to your sources
[22:13] <wxl> !info orca
[22:13]  * wxl shrugs
[22:13] <muluntu> I like firefox.
[22:14] <wxl> lots of people are :)
[22:14] <ianorlin> !info gnom-orca
[22:14] <ianorlin> !info gnome-orca
[22:14] <wxl> !info gnome-orca
[22:14] <wxl> well there ya go
[22:14] <muluntu> Is chromium installed or in softwarecenter ?
[22:14] <wxl> muluntu: in software center
[22:39] <dust> gnome orca isnt installed so cant be the pain in the ass... so why can the keyboard not accept input?
[22:51] <ianorlin> dust in chromium?
[22:52] <dust> no in general... when i opened the menu the focus scrolled up and started from below again without stopping
