[03:21] <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.
[03:22] <zerothis> also, I installed team meeting 4 days prior. no other system changes
[03:24] <zerothis> in virtual terminal i see an "OVERFLOW" ... "buffer: 16383" message and it randomly types ^@ on its own
[03:38] <zerothis> xorg is consistently using 55%-60% CPU, why?
[03:53] <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?
[06:06] <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.
[06:42] <terribad> Ctrl-C made the alternate installer segfault! D:
[09:42] <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?
[09:43] <llogiq> Also, because xterm provides x-terminal-emulator, isn't the dependency tautologous
[10:00] <llogiq> So how do I tell apt that steam doesn't need xterm, because it already has x-terminal-emulator?
[11:27] <swbgko> any Lubuntu devs here?
[11:29] <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 :-)
[11:52] <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.
[11:53] <srinivas> i tried to open the file. a black window opens but no automatic installation
[11:53] <srinivas> what to do
[11:54] <llogiq> What do you have on the flash drive?
[11:54] <srinivas> windows 8 installtion file iso to create the environment i suppose
[11:55] <hateball> !windows
[11:56] <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.
[11:57] <srinivas> may be i need help of an expert

[13:25] <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_
[13:26] <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_
[13:28] <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
[13:29] <rumial> i have installed the mac os theme
[13:29] <rumial> however it is not recommended for new users
[13:30] <rumial> easy to mess up
[13:30] <rumial> ...... Lubuntu really is not this difficult to use anyhow. so maybe they can learn it too
[13:32] <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
[13:35] <rumial> i do not know where to find such...
[15:18] <oslo2015> Lubuntu 14.04.2: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/trusty/release/
[18:18] <Karot> Ciao a tutti
[22:38] <Guest76383> Hi guys, I've installed Lubuntu 14.04 on my laptop. I've found one issue which I can't solve. Namely, the Volume Control doesn't appear. I've tried to add it manually, this doesn't work eather. I've also tried to play a movie, and the sound does not work also
[23:37] <MrAsk> should CPUfreq works without gnome? If no, is there other CPU indicator which works with lubuntu?
[23:41] <MrAsk> sorry nevermind
