[02:43] <terribad> Hi folks! I just installed Lubuntu (or so I thought) and it won't boot - all I see is a black screen with a single blinking underscore in the upper left corner. Any ideas why that might be?
[02:48] <terribad> It's not a dual boot, if that helps. I'm curious if nomodeset would help, but I don't seem to be able to set boot options using escape or shift during the boot.
[02:53] <holstein> terribad: try nomodeset
[02:53] <holstein> terribad: i will make the live iso work.. were you able to? i will do that before i install
[02:54] <holstein> could be anything from a bad iso, to bad hardware component..
[02:54] <holstein> if you see something pressing shift during boot, then, something is booting..
[02:54] <holstein> !nomodeset
[02:54] <ubottu> A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
[02:59] <terribad> I can't seem to get the grub menu open during boot. I'll try running from the live iso
[02:59] <holstein> terribad: can you get to the desktop from the live iso?
[03:02] <terribad> I tried booting what was on the live iso, and I didn't see the usual install-or-run menu. I've got a desktop now. Not sure why that happened.
[03:03] <holstein> terribad: from the live iso, try booting the desktop, live, without installing.. just live,
[03:03] <holstein> terribad: can you do that?
[03:03] <holstein> if not, try "nomodeset" from the live iso, and see if that gets you to the live desktop
[03:04] <holstein> thats a good indication that your GPU doesnt support linux..
[03:05] <terribad> From BIOS I booted the live ISO. Instead of showing the menu that asked if I wanted to install or boot without install, it went ahead and booted. I'm not actually sure if I'm booted from the iso or from the hard drive, but df is giving me output that's consistent with the hard disk...
[03:12] <terribad> I/etc/default/grub already has nomodeset! weird.
[03:15] <terribad> Okay, so: I can boot from the ISO. I can't boot from the hard drive. When I hold left shift during boot, nothing happens, so it looks like I can't toggle nomodeset during startup.
[03:33] <terribad> Booting from the live iso, it looks like the /etc/default/grub file on the hard drive is already correct. Nonetheless it won't boot without the live iso.
[03:58] <terribad> I'm only able to boot from my live iso. When I do so, I can see the hard drive, and I can confirm that its /etc/default/grub looks right. Any ideas?
[07:12] <jirido_> Is there a way to make links in pcmanfm? i have tried ctrl + shift drag and drop but cant see it works.
[07:23] <OmegaOne> how long is each lubuntu release supported for?
[07:24] <wxl> OmegaOne: check the release notes to find out. which version you thinking about?
[07:26] <OmegaOne> 10.10
[07:26] <OmegaOne> i mean 14.10
[07:27] <wxl> hahahah
[07:27] <wxl> oops
[07:27] <wxl> close though
[07:27] <wxl> OmegaOne: 9 months https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu#Support
[07:27] <wxl> going forward, all LTS should be 3 years, and all non-LTS 9 months
[07:28] <OmegaOne> thanks
[07:28] <wxl> this is consistent with the old support schedule for lts https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS

[10:47] <oslo2015> Anyone know why Eclipse is only version 3.8 in the software center?
[11:56] <curiousduder1> o/
[11:57] <curiousduder> o/
[12:01] <curiousduder> just installed lubuntu 14.10... liking it so far on this old dell
[13:40] <oslo2015> Why is Eclipse only version 3.8 in the Software Center?
[13:43] <curiousduder> dunno
[13:44] <curiousduder> try a diff. repo?
[13:45] <oslo2015> Sure, just seems weird to have an editions
[13:45] <oslo2015> *edition
[13:45] <oslo2015> that is four increments old
[13:46] <curiousduder> this is my first run with linux... installed a slew of distros, but ended up with lubuntu... i havent read into software listed in the center
[13:46] <curiousduder> I am still running an older version on my win machine (of eclipse)
[13:47] <curiousduder> haven't updated it in like 2 years
[13:48] <oslo2015> I'll need Java 8 support
[13:56] <curiousduder> for 3.8?
[13:57] <oslo2015> No, I was referring to the J8 support i n the latest Eclipse version
[13:57] <oslo2015> That's why I need the latest version
[13:57] <oslo2015> I just downloaded it directly from the website
[13:57] <oslo2015> Just thought it was curious that they did'nt include it in Lubuntu SC natively
[13:58] <curiousduder> ahh
