| wxl | Marzius: still in development. expect it for 16.10 | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Marzius | oh wow | 00:00 |
| wxl | well there are a lot of changes that need to happen, outside of just changing the libraries we're using | 00:00 |
| wxl | for example, we need to decide on apps that use qt and not gtk | 00:01 |
| wxl | not to mention rewriting apps that we have (lubuntu software center) in qt | 00:01 |
| wxl | we'll probably have it ready in time for 16.04, but i, for one, do not want to include new features in an LTS | 00:01 |
| Marzius | no worries I was just hyped | 00:01 |
| wxl | heheh | 00:01 |
| wxl | well if you're ambitious you can play with it | 00:01 |
| wxl | the testing wiki includes instructions to use the ppa and there's also a "lubuntu next" iso that is hosted by the boss | 00:02 |
| Marzius | true, but it's not 64-bit | 00:02 |
| wxl | well 64 bit cpus can handle a 32 bit kernel :) | 00:03 |
| Marzius | I need the memory :v | 00:03 |
| wxl | dude, you're running lubuntu. what do yo uneed it for? compiz? XD | 00:03 |
| Marzius | some virtualbox instances | 00:04 |
| wxl | is it not pae? | 00:04 |
| Marzius | it is, everything is since like 1994 | 00:04 |
| wxl | right so you should be good to go | 00:04 |

| tsimonq2 | How long does it take to do an install of Lubuntu(graphical and alternate respectively)? | 03:34 |
| tsimonq2 | I am going to leave(away), so the answer is not urgent, but if someone could just ping me with an answer, I will read it tomorrow around 8AM Central Time... | 03:35 |
| pleia2 | that's completely dependent upon your hardware and install mechanism (usb or disc), but graphical vs. alternate should make very little difference | 03:35 |
| tsimonq2 | Thanks! | 03:35 |
| tsimonq2 | Well I am still here :P | 03:36 |
| tsimonq2 | Ok thank you pleia2 | 03:36 |
| pleia2 | sorry I can't be more specific :) | 03:36 |
| tsimonq2 | Can you be specific if I said it was in a VM? | 03:36 |
| tsimonq2 | With 1 core and 2GB of RAM? | 03:36 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: | 03:36 |
| tsimonq2 | Whatever | 03:37 |
| pleia2 | unfortunately I haven't done a lubuntu install lately (the systems I have were upgraded a few times, not fresh installs lately) | 03:37 |
| tsimonq2 | It doesn't matter | 03:37 |
| tsimonq2 | Yeah, I originally installed 14.04.2 on this thing and now I am running wily | 03:37 |
| tsimonq2 | Have a good night | 03:38 |
| pleia2 | you too | 03:38 |
| tsimonq2 | /away | 03:38 |
| tsimonq2 | dang it | 03:38 |
| tsimonq2 | sorry | 03:38 |
| tsimonq2 | by | 03:38 |
| tsimonq2 | *bye | 03:38 |
| ianorlin | tsimonq2: actually sometimes in practice alternate takes longer because I fail to press ok at the enter http proxy information | 06:10 |
| pleia2 | ianorlin: haha | 06:10 |
| ianorlin | It also depends on the speed of the disk you write to | 06:11 |
| ianorlin | as in I have started an install later on a solid state drive in a virtual machine that ended up finishing earlier than the one I started that I was using a spinning hard drive for the back end | 06:12 |
| ianorlin | although virtual machines without hardware acceleratoin support tend to peg the cpu to 100 percent and go really slow | 06:12 |
| tsimonq2 | What, do you want me to give you my specs for my new computer and exactly how I am going to run the VMs? | 14:28 |
| tsimonq2 | XD | 14:28 |
| tsimonq2 | ianorlin | 14:28 |
| holstein | tsimonq2: i was reading the scroll back.. what is the question? | 14:31 |
| holstein | you are installing 15.10 in vm? | 14:31 |
| holstein | you are asking, how long does an installation take? i find, depending on resources, anywhere from around 6 minutes to 30 | 14:32 |
| holstein | lots of variables.. even on the host machine, if you are installing as a guest.. | 14:32 |
| tsimonq2 | holstein: Not even if I told you that my host machine is going to have the AMD FX-6300 6-core 3.5GHz Socket AM3+ 93W Processor with 8GB of DDR3 1600 RAM? And that my guest machine will each have one core and 2 \GB of RAM? | 14:54 |
| holstein | tsimonq2: correct.. not even then would anyone really be able to reliably answer the question of how long it wil take you to precisely install.. try it and see | 15:00 |
| holstein | you may find, depending on load on the host, even with your precise environment, 2 installation times may vary a bit.. | 15:01 |
| holstein | but, you dont *need* to install multiple instances.. to save time, you can clone, copy.. or, use snapshots.. | 15:01 |
| tsimonq2 | I want to do ISO QA... | 15:29 |
| eipi10 | can you see where in lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf from http://netgator.blogspot.com/2012/09/change-login-background-in-lubuntu-lxde.html the image is instructed to 'stretch' to fill the monitor? | 15:51 |
| eipi10 | or could I eliminate a background image all together? | 15:54 |
| holstein | if you want.. or, not have a greeter..or, no x.. or, another desktop environment.. or... | 15:55 |
| eipi10 | well that's it. I was just afraid to erase that line, but that's all I need to do? ...cut the "background=xxx.jpeg" line and save? | 15:58 |
| eipi10 | holstein? | 16:02 |
| eipi10 | anyone familiar with the gtk-greeter.conf file? | 16:06 |
| holstein | in any case like that, i would just make sure i know how to revert. and make a good backup, and i would research the documents a bit, and just try it | 16:10 |
| holstein | worst case, i reboot, and the greeter is broken.. then i can forcefully revert | 16:10 |
| yhj | hey all, have a problem with hibernation in lubuntu 15.04, my laptop hibernates but does not power off. | 16:14 |
| holstein | yhj: your laptop hibenates? but, when you try to shut the power off, in some way, it doesnt? what happens? and in what conditions? | 16:21 |
| yhj | when i select hibernate it hibernates but does not power down the laptop afterwards so i have to do it manually. when i reboot it resumes fine | 16:23 |
| holstein | yhj: i would try hibernate command via terminal, and see if you get any errors.. and, see what is hanging, where, and how.. | 16:27 |
| holstein | when i select "restart" the machine here hangs.. i havent had time to troubleshoot it.. | 16:28 |
| yhj | holstein: tried pm-hibernate in terminal, but it still does not poweroff. It hibernates correctly but doesn't poweroff | 16:29 |
| yhj | holstein: shutdown and restart work perfectly | 16:30 |
| holstein | yhj: i understand, and you can look at the error messages,if there are any, and share them in #ubuntu, for example.. or look for a bug report, and create one, if there is none | 16:30 |
| holstein | !bug | 16:30 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 16:30 |
| holstein | i havent even tried hibernate, on this hardware, since, there are not benefits for it in my use case.. | 16:30 |
| yhj | ok | 16:30 |
| Clippng | Hi, I'm trying to install Lubuntu on a 2006 Macbook Pro (white one) and regardless of my HDD size (which is more than enough), it's saying I do not have enough space | 17:24 |
| Clippng | Any ideas? | 17:24 |
| wxl | Clippng: partition issue perhaps? | 18:01 |
| wxl | Clippng: also what IS the HDD size? | 18:01 |
| Clippng | 500gb | 18:01 |
| wxl | Clippng: what about the partitions? | 18:02 |
| Clippng | what about them? sorry, new to gnu/linux | 18:03 |
| wxl | Clippng: you trying to use the whole hard drive? | 18:03 |
| Clippng | yes | 18:03 |
| wxl | Clippng: partitions, btw, are not a linux thing. | 18:03 |
| wxl | Clippng: what iso are you using? | 18:04 |
| Clippng | unetbootin | 18:04 |
| Clippng | of | 18:04 |
| Clippng | Lubuntu 32 bit | 18:04 |
| Clippng | 15.04 | 18:04 |
| wxl | Clippng: oh. why don't you download the actual iso and then use unetbootin to write the usb? | 18:04 |
| Clippng | cant boot from USB | 18:05 |
| Clippng | disk only atm | 18:05 |
| wxl | well the use it for disk. | 18:05 |
| Clippng | i did | 18:05 |
| wxl | point is download the iso rather than relying on unetbootin to do it for you | 18:05 |
| Clippng | wxl, If the HDD is NFTS will it not work? | 19:50 |
| === d70 is now known as Guest88182 | ||

| M3G45C3PT1L3 | I need to run Lubuntu on a VM for a class | 23:51 |
| wxl | which vm M3G45C3PT1L3 ? | 23:51 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | Would 1 GB RAM and 8 GB storage be enough for good performance? | 23:51 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | VirtualBox | 23:51 |
| wxl | oh yeah that's more than enough ram for sure | 23:52 |
| wxl | for storage, that might be tight depending on what you're doing with it | 23:52 |
| Unit193 | Just don't use a browser. | 23:52 |
| wxl | but just dynamically allocate and you'll be fine | 23:52 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | only standard programs for an OS class | 23:52 |
| wxl | compiling M3G45C3PT1L3 ? | 23:52 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | yes | 23:52 |
| wxl | Unit193: really? with 1gb? i've done it with 256 before and that's slow. 512 is ok as long as you're not doing facebook and such | 23:53 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | so 1 GB is good right? | 23:53 |
| wxl | yeah i would say it would be fine | 23:53 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | my computer has 8, so I thought 1 would be safe enough for a VM | 23:53 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | cool | 23:53 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | thanks | 23:53 |
| wxl | np have fun :) | 23:53 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | do you have some open source projects I can contribute to? | 23:54 |
| wxl | how do you want to contribute M3G45C3PT1L3 ? | 23:54 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | mostly software | 23:55 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | bug fixes and such | 23:55 |
| wxl | M3G45C3PT1L3: so you want to provide code. in any particular language(s)? | 23:55 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | Python | 23:55 |
| wxl | M3G45C3PT1L3: well there are plenty of packages on launchpad that use python. pastebinit is a nice one. | 23:56 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | ok I'll look into those | 23:57 |
| M3G45C3PT1L3 | thanks | 23:57 |
| wxl | np | 23:57 |
