| holstein | cYmen: i would start at the beginning, testing my downloaded iso.. | 00:19 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | !md5 | 00:19 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:19 |
| holstein | cYmen: i would personally get the lubuntu 14.04 version.. | 00:19 |
| holstein | *then*, i would use a different tool, if i cant make the usb creator work.. i like unetbootin, and it rarely fails me, since i'll format the stick before i make it each time | 00:20 |
| holstein | after that, be sure to try a different USB stick,a nd also, try the stick on other hardware, so you can see if the stick is booting, and made properly, or if its an issue with the hardware not booting USB | 00:20 |
| Guest2 | Is linux / Lubuntu included a VPN ? How can i configure and use VPN anyway ? I can see there is vpn in the network connection menu. | 04:31 |
| ianorlin | http://askubuntu.com/questions/166626/how-to-install-openvpn-on-lubuntu is one way but do you know which kind of vpn | 04:34 |
| Guest2 | I dont have vpn. just wonder.. have tryed vpn in ms windows only. not linux. | 04:36 |
| ianorlin | yes it is possible but I think you may need to install additional things | 04:37 |
| ianorlin | but you get access to all ubuntu repos if you need it but some heavier things can take up resources | 04:37 |
| Guest2 | I understand.. I should look in the software center.. thank you.. | 04:38 |
| llogiq | hi folks. | 09:04 |
| llogiq | regarding my recent wireless problem, I found that kernel 3.16.1-031601 works correctly with the proprietary bcm43142 drivers. So now I'm booting this kernel until the problem is solved for any newer version. Now I wonder if I should file a bug (and if so, where)? | 09:08 |
| hateball | !bug | 09:21 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 09:21 |
| * llogiq goes off to file a bug. | 09:26 | |
| dinesh_ | hi | 14:20 |
| dinesh_ | any1 there? | 14:20 |
| dinesh_ | hello? | 14:23 |
| ianorlin | !anyone | 14:24 |
| ianorlin | yes what is your question ? | 14:24 |
| dinesh_ | hi @ian | 14:25 |
| dinesh_ | the internet connection disconnects often in lubuntu | 14:25 |
| dinesh_ | "resolving host" error | 14:26 |
| spicypixel | dns issue then? | 14:27 |
| dinesh_ | it works fine for sometime then suddenly disconnects | 14:27 |
| spicypixel | when that happens in terminal run "nslookup google-public-dns-a.google.com" | 14:27 |
| spicypixel | should give you 8.8.8.8 as an address | 14:27 |
| spicypixel | if it isn't, maybe your DNS is dying? | 14:27 |
| dinesh_ | dying :( | 14:28 |
| spicypixel | just a suggestion, to rule out external DNS failure | 14:28 |
| spicypixel | might not be to dow ith lubuntu if it can't resolve a hostr | 14:28 |
| spicypixel | host* | 14:28 |
| dinesh_ | could you please be more clear? | 14:29 |
| dinesh_ | actually I will try the nslookup first i think | 14:29 |
| Chealsea_Jurgens | i have a general question. When trying to install software, let's say any generic program, is it best to download directly from that website, use synaptic or use software center? What is the difference? | 16:35 |
| ianorlin | synaptic or software center is better as it will get dependencies for you | 16:36 |
| ianorlin | also people could set up a fake website that then has malware on it if you install it | 16:37 |
| Chealsea_Jurgens | this is true, but let's say i wanted libreoffice, it's best to go thru software center? and if i want kingsoft, and the software center does not have, then go thru their website? sound about right | 16:38 |
| holstein | Chealsea_Jurgens: yes, that *is* best | 16:39 |
| holstein | Chealsea_Jurgens: if you want a newer version, or something not in the repos, its supported the same as well. by the specific vendor/creator | 16:40 |
| Chealsea_Jurgens | well i'd only be interested in the newest stable edition, not worried about newest bells and whistles | 16:40 |
| holstein | you may see, "to install x in ubuntu" or "ppa available here" or "source packages".. | 16:41 |
| holstein | Chealsea_Jurgens: the reason you want an unsupported package is up to you.. it'll just be up to the "newest stable edition" to support ubuntu | 16:41 |
| warfaren | how do i set font dpi? i know how to set a font size like 8, 9 , 10 etc.. but i want to choose a specific dpi value like 96 or 300 | 16:41 |
| holstein | Chealsea_Jurgens: typically, in the officially supported repos, *all* software is patched and maintained for security purposes | 16:41 |
| holstein | warfaren: i would probably just install the font i want. similar to http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1914 | 16:43 |
| Chealsea_Jurgens | Holstein: thanks a lot, makes perfect sense | 16:44 |
| holstein | Chealsea_Jurgens: for me, when i want/need a newer or more current or different package, i'll look for a PPA first | 16:44 |
| holstein | !ppa | 16:44 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 16:44 |
| holstein | though they are not "officially" supported, they are easy to work with, and can be removed easily | 16:45 |
| Chealsea_Jurgens | oh great, i'll keep that in my notes. i'm not interested in latest and greatest. just the most stable | 16:45 |
| holstein | Chealsea_Jurgens: well, "newer" doesnt mean more stable. neither does getting something labeled as "stable" necessarily | 16:46 |
| holstein | Chealsea_Jurgens: "stable" can be relative, depending on the hardware its running on... or other software installed.. and other factors | 16:46 |
| holstein | Chealsea_Jurgens: basicalluy, if you are using the stock ubuntu repos, someone else, a team, is maintaing all of that software for you.. so you dont have to bother with keeping up with security updates | 16:47 |
| holstein | Chealsea_Jurgens: you are trusting those people with that responsiblity.. and there is a promise for a certain time period | 16:48 |
| holstein | Chealsea_Jurgens: i say, if you are not having any stability issues, just keep up with your updates, and go with the official "if it aint broke" philosophy.. | 16:48 |
| holstein | if you are having specific stability issues, that can be discussed... | 16:48 |
| Chealsea_Jurgens | perfect, i shall heed your advice, thanks alot. just got done installing virtualbox which is what i was looking for. i had an issue last time, but so far seems good | 16:50 |
| h23 | Why do i get a time out when i try to ssh from my ubuntu box to lbuntu (virtualbox)? | 17:46 |
| h23 | Do i need to portforward if i want to ssh to virtualbox? | 17:51 |
| pacmyc | After updating from lubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 I get "Fast TSC calibration failed" on bootup. I've read in som threads that I should ignore it, but each time the desktop is started the "system failure" -windows opens.. Any ideas? | 18:38 |
| joern_ | I don't think that is related | 18:38 |
| joern_ | what does the system failure window say, which binary crashed? | 18:39 |
| pacmyc | It doesnt say, it just asks if I'd like to report it | 18:40 |
| joern_ | there is a button to view details or something | 18:40 |
| pacmyc | No, I get two buttons, cancel and "report problem...". If I press report problem I get the next error window "Sorry, Ubuntu 14.10 har experienced an internal error". ExecutablePath /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk | 18:42 |
| joern_ | okay, that is what I wanted to know | 18:43 |
| joern_ | apport want to report about itself :D | 18:43 |
| pacmyc | OK. I think error window no.2 is reporting that the reporting-service has crashed :) | 18:43 |
| joern_ | most people simply uninstall apport because it is annoying | 18:43 |
| pacmyc | OK, didnt think about that. But the TSC calibration error, is it of importance | 18:44 |
| pacmyc | ? | 18:44 |
| joern_ | I have it, too - but I don't see any downsides | 18:45 |
| pacmyc | OK. So I will try "sudo apt-get remove apport" then.. | 18:46 |
| pacmyc | Thanx, going to rebbot now and hopefully nothing will bother me anymore :) | 18:50 |
| agaida | if your bios is able to provide this clocksource=hpet may be a valid alternative - but fast TSC is a non critical message | 20:27 |
