| ararob | s/meny/menu/ | 08:32 |
| silverlion | ararob : try "menulibre" without the quotes. you have to install it via synaptic | 08:54 |
| silverlion | with that you can edit/delete/enter anything in the menu | 08:54 |
| ararob | ok | 08:58 |
| ararob | silverlion, it worked, thanks | 09:02 |
| silverlion | ararob : you are welcome ;) | 09:02 |
| janolap1 | hi ! I have accidently formatted my boot/grub/xp partition (table partition rewrite). Can anyone help me using testdisk to recover my data and system. I'm currently on Lubuntu on the same PC. | 09:16 |
| janolap1 | Can anyone assist me on the recovery process ? | 09:16 |
| janolap1 | I'm quite sure the original partitions were : /dev/sda1 (ntfs+boot), /dev/sda2 (ntfs), /dev/sda3 (extended for linux), etc for linux part | 09:18 |
| silverlion | janolap1 : that's way over my knowledge ... sorry | 09:23 |
| janolap1 | ok, thanks. | 09:23 |
| janolap1 | ok, I'll just reinstall grub, and try a datarecovery with photorec... | 09:24 |
| nanogeek | Janolap1 how can I install grub? | 09:30 |
| janolap1 | nanogeek : as far as I know, you can do : sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 09:32 |
| janolap1 | if /dev/sda is your boot disk. | 09:33 |
| janolap1 | But I'm not really a expert in thoses tasks | 09:33 |
| janolap1 | nanogeek : why do you want to install it ? | 09:34 |
| janolap1 | nanogeek : why do you want to install it ? | 09:48 |
| nanogeek | i just want to know how to do it | 09:49 |

| Freed309 | Hi. | 12:22 |
| Freed309 | I'm having an issue with my Wireless. Occasionally the hardware switch goes orange by itself and all wireless connections die. Before this used to happen when I left the computer on sleep. Now it's happening without warning. | 12:23 |
| Freed309 | I'm using Lubuntu 14.04 | 12:24 |
| Freed309 | Originally when I killed the process, it would work. But now the process simply refuses to be killed. | 12:26 |
| Freed309 | Anyone here? | 12:31 |
| testdr | Freed309: what process did you kill and does not work "killing" any more? network-manager? | 12:33 |
| Freed309 | Yes. | 12:33 |
| Freed309 | I killed that and modem manager. I thought Modem might be the parent | 12:33 |
| Freed309 | But it restarted to | 12:33 |
| Freed309 | *too | 12:33 |
| testdr | Freed309: you have to check the pid (process-id) because the network-manager will be restarted if not there | 12:33 |
| Freed309 | I did. | 12:34 |
| Freed309 | I was terminating them from the terminal | 12:34 |
| testdr | Freed309: thats what it is made for -- if you really want to stop network - you have to shutdown the service | 12:34 |
| Freed309 | Using PiDs | 12:34 |
| Freed309 | You're saying I should find the PiD for the service? | 12:35 |
| testdr | Freed309: first: how long did wireless work without problems? (until last update) Or did you have always problems (like said about sleep-status)? | 12:35 |
| Freed309 | I always had them. | 12:36 |
| Freed309 | I would simply kill the Network Manager and NM Applet | 12:36 |
| Freed309 | Using the PiDs. | 12:36 |
| Freed309 | Basically, I would open the Task manager, and then kill PiDs from the Terminal in Root. | 12:37 |
| testdr | Freed309: then you did wait to long - you should check the logfile (/var/log/syslog) about messages for wlan problems - and did you already check any hints (hard/software probs) about your wlan-hardware (chipset, vendor-product-id)? | 12:39 |
| Freed309 | No, and should I show you the logfile? | 12:40 |
| Freed309 | The thing is, I never used this laptop until recently. | 12:40 |
| Freed309 | So whenever I would use it, I would ignore the problem. | 12:41 |
| testdr | Freed309: the syslog logfile could be very long -- you have to upload it to the pastebin-service and poste the link to the upload here if you cannot find the error/warn-messages about the network service (and its breaking) | 12:41 |
| Freed309 | Pastebin is what I intended and yeah. | 12:41 |
| testdr | Freed309: then for this laptop - first get yourself a cable-twisted-pair for working internet-connection and make a full update (you did not say what version - 14.04?) - could be it will fix it .. or make it worse - but you need cable-connection or the update may disturbed | 12:43 |
| Freed309 | I can't obtain a wired connection, and there seems to be several tar gz worth of logfiles. | 12:44 |
| testdr | Freed309: you have to get a working internet-connection for this laptop - you wont never get proper updates with a broken connection. Check the last syslog (without gz) and maybe give some hardware-hints about the laptop, wlan-chipset or did you already look for any online hints to this hardware? | 12:46 |
| Freed309 | Do you want to know what the Hardware is? | 12:47 |
| Freed309 | Here's the recent one | 12:47 |
| Freed309 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/9634537/ | 12:47 |
| testdr | Freed309: yes - you did not check for any hints for it? | 12:47 |
| Freed309 | Any hints as to why it wasn't working or? | 12:48 |
| Freed309 | And this is the Wireless card itself: 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 12:49 |
| Freed309 | From LSPCI. | 12:49 |
| Freed309 | No I didn't. | 12:50 |
| testdr | Freed309: first quick question: why it looks (from the syslog) that the wlan is only valid for around 1 hour and dhcp needs a renew? | 12:50 |
| Freed309 | I have no idea. | 12:50 |
| testdr | Freed309: the time of the dhcp-offer is setup in the router - who did it? | 12:51 |
| Freed309 | Well, the person who installed the TWC Cable connection in my house. | 12:51 |
| Freed309 | It works fine with my Windows system. | 12:52 |
| Freed309 | That doesn't work | 12:52 |
| Freed309 | Atm. | 12:52 |
| Freed309 | Someone had the grand idea of sitting on it. :/ | 12:53 |
| Freed309 | Anyways. Before we go off into a tangent, I would have no idea how to change it, since our ISP doesn't allow you to modify Router settings. | 12:54 |
| testdr | Freed309: did you check even such video-hints? Like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9wfFVjqXzw | 12:54 |
| testdr | video-title: How to fix Qualcom Atheros AR9485 problem under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 12:55 |
| Freed309 | Well, was it for the situation I had, or a different one? | 12:56 |
| Freed309 | It seems like his wasn't working at all. | 12:57 |
| Freed309 | Mine is working, but it stops all of a sudden. | 12:57 |
| testdr | Freed309: open a terminal and run: ping -W 10 ip-number-of-your-wlan-router (should be 192.168.0.1 from your syslog) | 13:00 |
| testdr | that runs a ping with a timeout of 10 seconds and should show when the network "falls asleep" | 13:00 |
| testdr | Freed309: if this constant ping (=network-traffic) will help - then you have to check the power-saving settings, maybe its set to disable the network and a wake-up will give you the probs (like a restart would do too). | 13:01 |
| Freed309 | I have checked the settings, and there is nothing like that specified | 13:02 |
| Freed309 | i found something though, I'm not sure if it's pertaining to this. | 13:04 |
| Freed309 | testdr: In Power Info, NM is set to 0.2 in wakeup | 13:05 |
| Freed309 | *wakeups | 13:05 |
| Freed309 | testdr: Hello? | 13:10 |
| testdr | Freed309: no - you did check and you are shure nothing will help - i suggested to try the "ping-command" to not let network fall asleep and to prove it maybe the power-settings. And other online-hints for your hardware are not apropriate you think - so i cannot help, because i dont have this hardware myself to do my own checks. | 13:13 |
| Freed309 | I did set up the Ping command | 13:14 |
| Freed309 | Yeah, cause they don't apply to my situation. | 13:14 |
| Freed309 | I think for some reason it just falls asleep | 13:14 |
| Freed309 | And then it creates a Zombie Process. | 13:15 |
| testdr | Freed309: thats what you are shure about and why should i doubt what you say? From the kernel-version of the laptop - its from the last updates and this proves there was a lot of data-transfer (more than 100MB) ?over this faulty wlan-connection. | 13:16 |
| Freed309 | Yeah. Now what should I do to find why it's sleeping randomly? | 13:17 |
| testdr | Freed309: stopping network is done with "service". Check in terminal the output of: service networking and use the hints | 13:17 |
| testdr | Freed309: scroll back in your irc-log and read my hint about using the ping-command | 13:17 |
| Freed309 | Yeah, I'm using it | 13:18 |
| Freed309 | It's still running. | 13:18 |
| Freed309 | So what I should do, is see when it stops and then try to figure out why? | 13:18 |
| Freed309 | Right? | 13:18 |
| testdr | Freed309: then you have to wait - if it wlan breaks now too or if this little wlan-traffic keeps it working . If so - you have to decide to disable the sleeping-mode (dont know if there are any hints about it), what some people may not want, if they need the short time of battery-uptime. | 13:20 |
| Freed309 | I will disable it. I don't need sleep mode at all. | 13:20 |

| janolap1 | Hi there, is there a way to add emblems to folders under lubuntu ? (I mean adding small sub-icons to the folder image) | 18:27 |
| ianorlin | janolap1: I haven't tried doint that and do not know how really to do that | 18:28 |
| janolap1 | ianorlin : thanx, I know it exists under other windows managers... | 18:29 |

| janolap1 | how can I upgrade Lubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 ? | 23:22 |
| wxl | janolap1: did you read the release notes? | 23:22 |
| janolap1 | wxl : no... | 23:23 |
| teward | you should | 23:23 |
| wxl | yep | 23:24 |
| wxl | for i suspect you will find your answer there | 23:24 |
| wxl | and when i suspect, i mean "i know" XD | 23:24 |
| teward | ^ that | 23:24 |
| janolap1 | no "apt-get upgrade" ? | 23:25 |
| teward | what planet are you from :P | 23:25 |
| teward | janolap1: apt-get upgrade only upgrades packages within the release | 23:25 |
| janolap1 | there... | 23:25 |
| teward | never goes to the next release | 23:25 |
| teward | never has, never will | 23:25 |
| janolap1 | sorry : dist-upgrade | 23:25 |
| teward | janolap1: same concept - apt-get dist-upgrade only upgrades packages within the release | 23:26 |
| teward | but packages that would get held by upgrade (kernel, wine, etc.) don't get updated | 23:26 |
| teward | s/don't/do/ | 23:26 |
| teward | read the release notes | 23:26 |
| wxl | be nice teward :) | 23:26 |
| janolap1 | this one : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu ? | 23:27 |
| teward | with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_14.04_LTS still being relevant i believe | 23:27 |
| teward | wxl: i've been bashing my head against POODLE and SSLv3 for 4 hours i'm on edge | 23:27 |
| teward | it's an atypical time for me | 23:27 |
| teward | wxl: Lubuntu still has all the flavor-agnostic changes from the main Ubuntu changelog included as well right? | 23:28 |
| wxl | janolap1: naw, start at the basic ones https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_14.04_LTS | 23:28 |
| teward | (i.e. core changes) | 23:28 |
| wxl | teward: lubuntu is ubuntu | 23:28 |
| wxl | teward: tl;dr yes | 23:28 |
| teward | that's a yes :) | 23:28 |
| janolap1 | ok, I wasn't reading the good ReleaseNotes ... That's simple now. | 23:29 |
| teward | janolap1: the Lubuntu release notes link to the base Ubuntu release notes | 23:30 |
| teward | there's a lot of flavor-agnostic changes that affect all the flavors and the main changelog does touch on those | 23:30 |
| teward | (like the kernel for instance) | 23:30 |
| wxl | main = lubuntu? | 23:30 |
| teward | main = Ubuntu in that statement | 23:33 |
| teward | since you just said lubuntu is ubuntu :P | 23:33 |
| wxl | huh they don't? | 23:33 |
| wxl | oh :/ | 23:33 |
| * wxl slaps teward | 23:33 | |
| * teward returns the slap with a pulse blast from a dark-matter energy pistol | 23:33 | |
| janolap1 | trying it... | 23:38 |
