| binaryhermit | so, should I download 14.04 or 15.04? | 03:03 |
| binaryhermit | actually, strike that, I'll just go for the most obvious 64 bit torrent link on lubuntu.net | 03:07 |
| binaryhermit | since that'd be the recommended version, probably (and fwiw it appears to be 15.04) | 03:10 |

| johndavepallan | hello to all | 08:50 |
| johndavepallan | lubuntu works great on my acer laptop :d | 08:51 |
| Ellon | Hi | 13:50 |
| Ellon | Suddenly my sound is gone | 13:50 |
| Ellon | Anybody home? | 13:56 |
| bioterror | have you tried: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 13:58 |
| Ellon | nop havent tried anything came straight here | 13:59 |
| bioterror | give it a shot for those aplay commands | 13:59 |
| Ellon | aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found... | 14:01 |
| Ellon | it worked before restart | 14:02 |
| bioterror | did you have kernel update or something like that? | 14:02 |
| Ellon | i upgraded to 15 | 14:03 |
| Ellon | but it worked after upgrade.. i simply restarted notebook now and no sound :> | 14:04 |
| bioterror | restart again :D | 14:04 |
| Ellon | hmm im busy playing a game :D | 14:05 |
| Ellon | but thansk | 14:05 |
| Ellon | hui | 17:37 |
| Ellon | hi | 17:37 |
| holstein | o/ | 17:37 |
| Ellon | How to burn windows ISO to DVD in lubuntu? | 17:37 |
| holstein | Ellon: not sure that "windows" allows that | 17:38 |
| Ellon | huh?\ | 17:38 |
| holstein | Ellon: regardless, you can use *any* burning software to burn any iso image to whatever media | 17:38 |
| Ellon | how to do it in lubuntu? | 17:38 |
| holstein | how i would do it is by simply opening brasero, since, i know how to use brasero.. but, xfburn, etcc.. they all do that | 17:39 |
| holstein | you'll make a copy, choosing the disc (dvd in this case) as the destination, and the image as the source | 17:39 |
| holstein | but, you may not be allowed to do that with a windows product.. they dont support that | 17:40 |
| Ellon | but it's an ISO | 17:40 |
| holstein | correct.. | 17:41 |
| Ellon | ok | 17:42 |
| Ellon | ill try brasero | 17:42 |
| holstein | you can use *any* burning software. they *all* do it.. its the source, in your case, that will be the "wild card" | 17:42 |
| Ellon | i have a lot of problems with lubuntu :/ | 17:43 |
| holstein | microsoft doenst promise you.. "obtain an image/iso from where ever you like, and burn it to DVD".. they sell that product, and dont easily provide ways to burn the iso's like that | 17:43 |
| ianorlin | ask and you might receive answers | 17:43 |
| Ellon | Well 1 issue is not fixable\ | 17:43 |
| holstein | Ellon: feel free and ask, and a volunteer may be able to assist with an issue :) | 17:44 |
| holstein | Ellon: *everything* is fixable.. | 17:44 |
| Ellon | I have outdated graphics driver and it performs very laggy on lubuntu | 17:44 |
| Ellon | On windows it's supported :/ | 17:44 |
| holstein | right.. but, the creators of that hardware are welcome to support linux | 17:44 |
| Ellon | i know it's not lubuntu fault | 17:44 |
| holstein | that would "fix" it.. but, if they dont.. then, you may have to deal with a compromise | 17:44 |
| holstein | well, its just not lubuntu/ubuntu/linux responsibility... thats all | 17:45 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning#Burning_a_CD_on_the_Command_Line_with_wodim | 17:45 |
| bioterror | quite easy | 17:45 |
| Ellon | Second issue is that sound got lost | 17:46 |
| holstein | !audio | 17:46 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 17:46 |
| holstein | ^ thats where i start.. | 17:46 |
| Ellon | Yeah i tried, it doesn't recognize sound card | 17:46 |
| Ellon | But the most annoyig thing is that graphics card lag | 17:47 |
| Ellon | I just need to throw out this old pc | 17:47 |
| holstein | Ellon: if it "got lost", then, it *did* work? correct? | 17:48 |
| Ellon | holstein yes | 17:48 |
| holstein | the "best" thing i did, in my linux path was, purchase hardware with linux support in mind.. | 17:48 |
| Ellon | worked at first... but im not in mood fixing it :) | 17:48 |
| Ellon | holstein yes if i purchase laptop in future i'll do that | 17:48 |
| holstein | well, nothing is "broken" to fix.. thats the trick | 17:49 |
| Ellon | Simple as that. My laptop is too old | 17:49 |
| ianorlin | Ellon: what graphics card is it? | 17:49 |
| Ellon | ATIX1200 | 17:50 |
| Ellon | x1200 | 17:50 |
| Ellon | `128mb :) | 17:50 |
| ianorlin | and what are you trying to do with it? | 17:50 |
| Ellon | i was thinking to install old lubuntu or ubuntu version where it support ati old legacy drivers :) But would it work? | 17:50 |
| ianorlin | I think that might be too old for proprietary | 17:51 |
| Ellon | ianorlin just watching youtube gives problem | 17:51 |
| ianorlin | Ellon: what are you using to watch it? | 17:51 |
| Ellon | mozilla, chrome | 17:51 |
| ianorlin | I have had some success copying and pasting the url into vlc | 17:52 |
| ianorlin | but not sure if that would work better | 17:52 |
| ianorlin | or maybe even mpv | 17:52 |
| Ellon | heh | 17:52 |
| holstein | youtube/flash will not be a good test | 17:53 |
| bioterror | you can pipe youtube-dl into vlc | 17:53 |
| Ellon | I simply need to switch to windows 7 :).. just because of video driver | 17:53 |
| holstein | win7 wont likely support your older hardware "better" | 17:53 |
| holstein | but, you are welcome to try | 17:54 |
| Ellon | it's old pc :/ | 17:54 |
| Ellon | no video graphics work much better. | 17:54 |
| bioterror | well | 17:54 |
| bioterror | x1200 is too old for playing hd stuff properly | 17:54 |
| Ellon | Im sure on older lubuntu my old laptop would work very well | 17:54 |
| bioterror | so I bet the computer uses CPU for playing videos | 17:55 |
| bioterror | right? | 17:55 |
| Ellon | yeah | 17:55 |
| Ellon | ATI is to blame here :) | 17:55 |
| bioterror | maybe you could use regular vesa drivers | 17:55 |
| Ellon | are there difference? | 17:56 |
| holstein | they never promised you "use whatever linux distro you want".. or, "enjoy support for the hardware under windows through the next 3 versions".. its not ATI's fault.. they did as promised | 17:56 |
| holstein | !vesa | 17:56 |
| ubottu | vesa is the default video driver if X can't find a better one. Also see !x | 17:56 |
| holstein | vesa drivers are what i use on older hardware | 17:56 |
| Ellon | ok ATI you got me | 17:57 |
| holstein | when im coming to any hardware like that, i try and keep in mind that, a team of experts worked likely years to provide support for a completely different operating system, and, that when i do it,it may be problematic, or i mayy need to accept compromise | 18:00 |
| holstein | i'll simply load up quite a few live iso's and test as much as i can.. the audio, the video.. the suspend, if thats important | 18:01 |
| holstein | with some older machines with very problematic VGA support under linux, i may simply use those headless.. without x.. if thats appropriate | 18:01 |
| holstein | at this time, i would be looking for 12.04 live versions of ubuntu, 14.04, and 15.04.. seeing what works well, and what doesnt | 18:02 |
| Ellon | it comes to this, everything has it's time to serve :) | 18:02 |
| holstein | i would also try one of the distros that is intended for older hardware.. maybe one of the ones based on debian stable.. | 18:02 |
| holstein | something with a kernel closer to that era.. with potentially "better" support | 18:03 |
| Ellon | but how will debian help me? | 18:03 |
| Ellon | hmm | 18:03 |
| holstein | as i said, something that is closer to that era | 18:03 |
| Ellon | do you mean installing older debian> | 18:04 |
| holstein | im not promising debian will help you..just that, i might personally try a debian stable based distro.. or, another one specifically for older hardware | 18:04 |
| holstein | Ellon: i mean, literally opening a web search, and looking for distros created for doing what you are trying to do | 18:04 |
| Ellon | but would other apps work on older debian ? | 18:05 |
| bioterror | what other? | 18:05 |
| Ellon | like newest chrome | 18:05 |
| bioterror | Ubuntu loans lots of stuff from the Debian | 18:05 |
| holstein | Ellon: *thats* the compromises, you may have to deal with | 18:05 |
| holstein | but, i dont think latest chrome has any issues running on most distros.. you'll just have to decide | 18:06 |
| holstein | but, for me, as i stated above, thats the arc of testing.. testing *hardware*.. *then*, after i have the hardware setup, i move to a browser | 18:06 |
| holstein | trying to just get flash support in chrome.. that may not be possible on that machine | 18:06 |
| holstein | flash, youtube.. google.. they dont promise "get any old machine you like, and install linux on it, and enjoy our videos".. it may not be realistic to expect HD playback on unsupported hardware | 18:07 |
| bioterror | Ellon, can you give us some specs about the computer? | 18:14 |
| bioterror | it was a laptop? | 18:14 |
| Ellon | 1gb ram, ati x1200 128mb ram. AMD mobile Sempron proccessor | 18:14 |
| Ellon | HP Compaq 6715s | 18:15 |
| bioterror | it's not that bad | 18:15 |
| bioterror | older business model | 18:15 |
| Ellon | it came with windows vista | 18:18 |
| bioterror | I would go with the SalixOS and try OpenBox version of it | 18:20 |
