[00:59] <sparky> my distro upgrade got interrupted, it acually boots and i tried to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" but i get an error in parsing some of the files
[01:03] <holstein> sparky: ouch
[01:03] <holstein> i know what i would do.. i dont like distro upgrades, anyways.. so, i would just backup, and fresh install.. i consider that the shortest path to a "clean" system
[01:04] <holstein> otherwise, what file isnt "parsing?
[01:04] <Unit193> sparky: Pastebin?
[01:06] <sparky> yea just a sec
[01:06] <sparky> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11401877/
[01:07] <Unit193> Welp.  Not seen that before.
[01:08] <Unit193> I'd hesitate to blindly tell you to delete that file and try again, however it does appear corrupt.
[01:09] <sparky> hm, ok... i guess ill do that
[01:12] <sparky> seems to be finishing the installation, thanks for the suggestion. should've tried that :P
[01:13] <Unit193> Heh, I'd have hesitated too.
[01:48] <sparky> works great. thanks again, :)
[01:56] <Unit193> Sure thing, glad to help.
[10:01] <christine> hello everyone
[10:02] <Guest19263> i have a issue with my battery indicator icon not showing on system tray anyone know what could be happening ?
[13:00] <snellejongen23> hey guys
[13:01] <snellejongen23> i'm having an odd problem, i have 2 pc's both the same intel extreme graphics
[13:01] <snellejongen23> the first is a laptop with lubuntu, the second a desktop celeron with lubuntu
[13:01] <snellejongen23> the laptop has no intel graphics drivers installed and the desktop has intel graphics drivers for linux
[13:02] <snellejongen23> the laptop runs youtube fine, the desktop runs it choppy
[13:04] <snellejongen23> alptop: pentium centrino 1,4gzh 512 MB,  desktop: 2.2 Ghz celeron 1GB Ram
[13:06] <snellejongen23> could it be that it has nothing todo with the intel graphics, as the laptop has no graphics drivers installed?
[13:06] <snellejongen23> and that the flash, movies run on the cpu as instead on the gpu for decoding
[13:08] <hateball> snellejongen23: Flash is CPU intensive yes
[13:08] <hateball> snellejongen23: What browser are you using to watch it in?
[13:09] <hateball> Firefox uses an old Adobe npapi flash, chromium/chrome uses a newer flash that might have better performance
[13:09] <hateball> snellejongen23: also you can go to youtube.com/html5 to make sure you're using that instead of flash
[13:10] <snellejongen23> i use firefox for both
[13:11] <snellejongen23> no flash addons
[13:11] <snellejongen23> the desktop with the intel graphi drivers also had pepper flash installed
[13:12] <snellejongen23> because i wanted to improve youtube decoding
[13:12] <snellejongen23> i find it strange that the laptop with no intel graphics drivers, no pepepr flash install
[13:13] <snellejongen23> runs it ok, and desktop with drivers, choppy flash , drivers + pepper flash, still choppy
[13:14] <snellejongen23> for being clear, the desktop from the fresh lubuntu install has had no good youtube playback
[13:14] <snellejongen23> both are newly installed
[13:14] <snellejongen23> lubuntu
[13:18] <snellejongen23> so my conslusion is : the laptop with no drivers, has no gpu playback, therefore relies on the cpu,
[13:18] <snellejongen23> the desktop with drivers, tries to rely on the gpu but can't , therefor choppy playback
[13:19] <snellejongen23> ??
[13:22] <hateball> I dont use firefox myself so I dont know if it tries to use hardware acceleration
[13:23] <hateball> if it does, perhaps there is a switch to turn off to force it to use cpu only
[13:23] <hateball> for tests sake
[13:23] <snellejongen23> you can in flash disable hardware acceleration
[13:23] <snellejongen23> uncheck it
[13:25] <snellejongen23> i'm going to test that now in firefox with flash on the desktop, uncheck the hardware acc. and check youtube
[13:25] <snellejongen23> one moment
[13:26] <hateball> well, make sure it's actually using flash and not html5 also...
[13:26] <snellejongen23> yeah i right it to see if i see if it's using flash
[13:26] <hateball> :)
[13:26] <snellejongen23> *right click
[13:29] <snellejongen23> awful playback :D
[13:30] <snellejongen23> blocky and everything
[13:30] <snellejongen23> i'm beginning to suspect gpu drivers
[13:30] <snellejongen23> audio is ok tho
[13:35] <snellejongen23> i think  my best bet is to just copy the laptop conditions and check from there
[13:35] <snellejongen23> remove intel graphics drivers, flash and chrome
[13:44] <snellejongen23> because if someone with a pentium 3 700 mhz and integrated graphics can watch youtube
[13:45] <snellejongen23> surely i can
[15:00] <snellejongen23> ive been making some progress
[15:00] <snellejongen23> uninstalled graphics drivers, and now i'm getting video in minitube
[15:00] <snellejongen23> and smooth playback
[15:00] <snellejongen23> in it
[15:00] <snellejongen23> so at least i can watch something
[15:16] <snellejongen23> thank you all mighty linus
[17:07] <belal122> hi
[17:07] <belal122> I wonder if anyone has a fix for this:  Everytime I boot into Lubuntu, right after the nvidia splash screen, I get a black screen with dots on the top part of my screen.  I can see the mouse, but no desktop
[17:08] <belal122> I have to press alt + ctrl + f7, to get to tty7 and then I'm able to log on with userID n password
[17:08] <snellejongen23> have you reinstalled the nvidia drivers?
[17:08] <snellejongen23> with the nvidia current
[17:08] <belal122> it's a fresh install with the updated drivers
[17:09] <snellejongen23> then i don't know
[17:09] <belal122> :(  it's annoying as hell.  I wonder if there's a way to have it automatically go to TTY7 upon boot?
[17:12] <wxl> no clue either, belal122, but you might want to check your logs, especially /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:15] <snellejongen23> if you could paste it in pastebin for us to see
[17:19] <belal122> that pc is not connected to internet.  :(
[17:20] <belal122> I was trying to use it as a gaming pc for emulators.
[17:20] <wxl> is that relevant?
[17:20] <belal122> no i meant, i couldnt paste it into pastebin
[17:20] <belal122> because it has no net connection
[17:20] <wxl> that's what usb's are for :)
[17:20] <belal122> lol...smart
[17:20] <belal122> brb then
[17:21] <snellejongen23> lol
[17:21] <snellejongen23> and alto it isn't connected , i do recommed getting the latest packages because of bugfixes
[17:27] <belal122> http://pastebin.com/jB5xYaUF
[17:27] <belal122> that's the xorg.0.log , do u also want xorg.1.log?
[17:34] <wxl> belal122: it's an older loger
[17:34] <wxl> s/er//
[17:34] <wxl> :/
[17:35] <wxl> anyways nice xbox 360 wireless receiver :)
[17:36] <wxl> so which nvidia driver is this?
[17:38] <snellejongen23> 304.125
[17:38] <snellejongen23> NVIDIA GLX Module  304.125  Mon Dec  1 20:21:57 PST 2014
[17:39] <snellejongen23> as stated in the log
[17:40] <wxl> not a nvidia whiz here but is that the appropriate one?
[17:40] <wxl> i especially have no clue about proprietary drivers
[17:40] <belal122> thanks.  Yeah the system is old: AMD64 Chip with nvidia 6150SE graphics, but couple that with the wireless 360 reciever, and it plays sega genesis games like a charm.
[17:41] <belal122> I don't remember, but I had it installed some time ago and I remember getting the latest one at the time.
[17:41] <belal122> just a few months ago
[17:42] <wxl> well you can figure it out with lspci
[17:42] <belal122> that will tell me the nvidia version?
[17:42] <wxl> lspci -nnk | grep -iA 3 vga | grep driver
[17:43] <snellejongen23> you can always try to reinstall the xserver-zorg
[17:43] <snellejongen23> sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg
[17:44] <snellejongen23> because right now i'm trouble shooting my intel graphics
[17:45] <wxl> my guess is that you're NOT using nouveau
[17:45] <wxl> as that version seems to match the latest version for that series on nvidia's site http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[17:46] <wxl> more specifically http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/80133/en-us
[17:47] <wxl> seems that there are such drivers are also provided in our own repos https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-update
[17:48] <wxl> it seems that a bug similar to yours is awaiting a fix in those drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1365695
[17:48] <wxl> looks like nouveau has no such problems
[17:49] <wxl> to answer your question, belal122, click the button next to This bug affects 55 people. Does this bug affect you?  Edit
[17:50] <wxl> also make sure to subscribe yourself to the bug
[17:50] <wxl> you'll get the update when it's finally fixed
[17:50] <wxl> but ultimately you're waiting on upstream (nvidia)
[17:50] <wxl> which is to say you may be waiting a good long time :)
[17:59] <snellejongen23> maybe you can search for a way you get into tty7 automaticly
[18:00] <belal122> yeah, i have the same problem!
[18:01] <belal122> by the way, i figured out one thing:  by purging the nvidia driver out, I can boot into lubuntu just fine with the free driver.  but trying to open Kega (the emulator), crashes the system.  I'm going to try to re-install the drivers and see if I get any result
[18:05] <snellejongen23> i think purging is not the safest option
[18:06] <snellejongen23> can anyone confirm?
[18:06] <wxl> won't hurt
[18:06] <snellejongen23> especially dealing with drivers , you want to use the safest method possible
[18:07] <wxl> at least for that, because noveau is there by default
[18:16] <nonyab> I am running Version-Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-83-generic (i686)

[18:16] <nonyab>  an adaptor
[18:18] <wxl> nonyab: this may sound laughable, but try the original usb cord and/or different usb ports.
[18:21] <nonyab> I have they all work the same but if i boot up live ubuntu it all works i like Lxle everything elese works even wireless
[18:22] <wxl> nonyab: you have lxle?
[18:22] <nonyab> yes
[18:23] <wxl> nonyab: then i would suggest support at #lxle
[18:23] <nonyab> There is none

[18:23] <nonyab> yet they have on thier web site
[18:23] <wxl> there *IS* one
[18:23] <wxl> not many people there, admittedly
[18:24] <wxl> i would suggest other avenues of support other than those related to lubuntu as it has been said time and time again that lxle is not lubuntu
[18:24] <wxl> if they are going to provide the distro, they should provide support. otherwise, i'm not sure i see the value in it.
[18:25] <nonyab> Free Live Help: Lubuntu IRC, LXLE IRC, Screencasts
[18:25] <wxl> that's their assertion, not ours
[18:27] <belal122> SUCCESS!!
[18:27] <belal122> i found the solution!
[18:27] <wxl> what 'twas?
[18:27] <nonyab> oh well so much for finding a distro that provides everything I tried lubuntu and almost every othe distro and they all provide one thing or the other but  wireless
[18:28] <belal122> ok, so the last thing i did was purge "nvidia *"  , then i went to ubuntuupdates.org and downloaded nvidia-346 i386 package...installed that and voila!
[18:28] <wxl> nonyab: i have never had a device with wireless that didn't work in lubuntu
[18:28] <belal122> when i rebooted, it worked
[18:28] <wxl> great belal122
[18:28] <belal122> thankx wxl!
[18:28] <belal122> nonyab... lubuntu works.  probably nm-applet didn't load?
[18:28] <belal122> i had the same problem when I borrowed a wifi dongle some months ago
[18:29] <belal122> i inserted the wifi usb stick and i didn't get anything.  turns out, u have to go to the start up manager, and load "nm-applet"  to start by default
[18:29] <belal122> once u do that...it will always boot up lubuntu with the network/wifi manager, so u can connect to net
[18:29] <belal122> automatically
[18:29] <nonyab> My wireless is a bcw4311
[18:30] <wxl> !broadcom | nonyab
[18:30] <nonyab> I know
[18:31] <wxl> nonyab: …and?
[18:31] <snellejongen23> i think i solved my intel extreme graphics problem
[18:31] <snellejongen23> i installed all graphics drivers i don't need, ati radeon, matrox etc
[18:31] <snellejongen23> vmware stuff, even tho i am not using vmware
[18:31] <nonyab> I have used it  but lxle is so fast on load up and easy to do eye candy like to customize from boot up to shutdown
[18:32] <wxl> nonyab: then why don't you figure out what customizations are needed to make it like that in lubuntu?
[18:32] <snellejongen23> i mean i uninstalled lol
[18:32] <belal122> new question:  is there anyway to boot up ubuntu/lubuntu without having it ask for userID/password?  i checked "never ask for password" in the users and group
[18:32] <wxl> right makes sense nonyab
[18:32] <snellejongen23> belal yes automatic login
[18:33] <wxl> belal122: yeah, lightdm settings, which were, last time i checked, relatively undocumented (an ubuntu problem, not lubuntu)
[18:33] <wxl> sorry i meant makes sense snellejongen23 :)
[18:33] <wxl> !lightdm | belal122
[18:33] <nonyab> just let me think about that i think last time i did live lubuntu no wireless
[18:33] <wxl> oops
[18:33] <wxl> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM
[18:33] <wxl> nonyab: broadcom stuff doesn't install by default. blame broadcom.
[18:34] <belal122> thanks! gonna look it up now
[18:35] <snellejongen23> for broadcom issues ---> http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers
[18:35] <snellejongen23> second answer
[18:36] <snellejongen23> also fixed my wireless today with dropouts
[18:36] <snellejongen23> realtek chipset
[18:36] <snellejongen23> first diables dnsmaq
[18:36] <snellejongen23> disabled
[18:37] <snellejongen23> and compiled a new driver, now no more issues
[18:40] <snellejongen23> been working all day to get lubuntu working xD
[18:43] <snellejongen23> so graphics working.check..wireless no more dropouts
[18:43] <snellejongen23> only thing now is when i enable automatic connecting to wireless in networkmanager
[18:43] <belal122> success number 2!!!  this worked, number 8: http://askubuntu.com/questions/51086/how-do-i-enable-auto-login-in-lightdm
[18:43] <wxl> yay
[18:43] <snellejongen23> i need to enter my password after login...
[18:43] <belal122> lol i'm on a roll!
[18:56] <snellejongen23> keyring is the culpit
[18:58] <snellejongen23> found a big :d
[18:58] <snellejongen23> bug
[18:59] <wxl> !bugs | snellejongen23
[18:59] <snellejongen23> i'm going to try and duplicate it with live cd
[18:59] <snellejongen23> and some with the same version
[19:00] <snellejongen23> keyring keeps asking for password with aumatic wireless
[19:00] <snellejongen23> even when i check everyone can use this connection
