| zerothis | i tried to access a sam's club free wifi and my system bogged down. killed chromium (but it was only peaking at %9 CPU use), still bogged with each boot it was worse. used the netbook interface and got full speed with the 1st boot but with each boot, it bogged down again. | 03:21 |
|---|---|---|
| zerothis | also, I installed team meeting 4 days prior. no other system changes | 03:22 |
| zerothis | in virtual terminal i see an "OVERFLOW" ... "buffer: 16383" message and it randomly types ^@ on its own | 03:24 |
| zerothis | xorg is consistently using 55%-60% CPU, why? | 03:38 |
| yguyut7 | how do you set it so that when you open a link from the email program it opens to a new firefox window in private mode? | 03:53 |

| terribad | Hi folks! I'm installing on an old system and need to create a separate boot partition using the alternate installer. Does anyone have any advice? Ubuntu tutorials suggest I install, create the partition using Gparted, and then use Boot Repair Disc to fix the installation. But that hasn't worked for me. | 06:06 |
| terribad | Ctrl-C made the alternate installer segfault! D: | 06:42 |
| llogiq | Hi there. I'm on vivid (dev) and interestingly steam appears to depend on xterm. In the dependencies it has "xterm | x-terminal-emulator", but apt tries to install xterm nonetheless. Is this a) an error wth the steam package? or b) an error with apt? | 09:42 |
| llogiq | Also, because xterm provides x-terminal-emulator, isn't the dependency tautologous | 09:43 |
| llogiq | So how do I tell apt that steam doesn't need xterm, because it already has x-terminal-emulator? | 10:00 |
| swbgko | any Lubuntu devs here? | 11:27 |
| swbgko | why are there so many packages installed on the live iso? the system only needs approx 1200 ! | 11:29 |
| llogiq | No, we are all just fluffy white little rabbits :-) | 11:29 |
| srinivas | how to install windows from my flash drive. the pc has lubuntu | 11:52 |
| llogiq | srinivas, If your flash drive contains a bootable partition, you should be able to just boot it. | 11:52 |
| srinivas | i tried to open the file. a black window opens but no automatic installation | 11:53 |
| srinivas | what to do | 11:53 |
| llogiq | What do you have on the flash drive? | 11:54 |
| srinivas | windows 8 installtion file iso to create the environment i suppose | 11:54 |
| hateball | !windows | 11:55 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 11:55 |
| llogiq | I'm afraid you will have to get the iso file from the flash drive and write it directly using dd so it will be bootable. | 11:56 |
| llogiq | Apart from that, hateball is right. | 11:56 |
| srinivas | may be i need help of an expert | 11:57 |

| ido_ | Hi there, a question - I'm using Lubuntu to "revive" some old PCs that were originally designed to work with Windows XP. It works great, but the apps menu feels outdated and my less tech-savvy relatives can't seem to get around the OS without a search bar and the cleaner look of something like Windows 7/Mint/Zorin OS start menu. Is there any way to use a menu that looks more like these in LXDE/Lubuntu? | 13:25 |
| rumial | there is the Cairo desktop thing ido_ | 13:25 |
| rumial | anyhows i am not pro with lubuntu so... | 13:26 |
| ido_ | rumial: I'm not referring to the launchbar itself, but rather to the app menu/drawer | 13:26 |
| rumial | i am myself having a problem. no one answered me yet. tho the Cairo desktop thing is very nice to use with lubuntu. you can find it where you download software for your lubuntu os | 13:26 |
| rumial | okey ido_ | 13:26 |
| ido_ | I really just need a menu with a search bar and some links to, say, the internet browser and file manager without having to browse through the app categories, again much like Zorin/Win7/XP/Mint/Whisker menu. And Cairo is probably too heavy on RAM for these PCs lol | 13:28 |
| rumial | i have installed the mac os theme | 13:29 |
| rumial | however it is not recommended for new users | 13:29 |
| rumial | easy to mess up | 13:30 |
| rumial | ...... Lubuntu really is not this difficult to use anyhow. so maybe they can learn it too | 13:30 |
| ido_ | Yep, it's perfect for the situation except for the lack of a search bar | 13:32 |
| ido_ | I don't need any major shakeup for the system, just this elementary feature | 13:32 |
| rumial | i do not know where to find such... | 13:35 |
