[00:06] <darsie> hi
[00:06] <darsie> What do you recommend to use for skype video calls?
[00:07] <wxl> um, skype? XD
[00:07] <darsie> Ok, so from the skype site. Didn't find it in synaptic.
[00:07] <wxl> right right
[00:07] <wxl> i think:
[00:07] <wxl> !skype
[00:07] <wxl> that MAY be updated
[00:07] <wxl> i think i just installed it from the skype site, tho
[00:08] <wxl> i also think it may still be in the partner repo
[00:08] <wxl> !partner
[00:09] <darsie> ok, thx.
[00:09] <wxl> np
[00:09] <darsie> I'm too exhausted for that now, though.
[00:09] <wxl> heheh understood
[00:09] <wxl> end of my day here
[00:09] <wxl> about to head out
[00:09] <wxl> so rest well ;)
[00:09] <darsie> thx
[00:09] <darsie> sem
[00:09] <darsie> same
[00:11] <darsie> btw, thanks for lubuntu. It makes this acer aspire one useful again. With Windows XP it was notoriously out of memory etc.
[00:12] <darsie> 8 GB SSD, 1 GB RAM, Atom N270 (IIRC). Single core (two logical) at 1.6 GHz.
[00:13] <darsie> before that
[00:13] <darsie> before that I tried slitaz, which was very slim, but it's web browsers didn't work, including firefox 10 (sic).
[00:14] <darsie> Well, they didn't work for some sites.
[01:46] <Guest20516> can I use lubuntu on touchscreens?
[01:46] <holstein> try it.. should work fine
[01:46] <holstein> i wouldnt expect amazing mutli-finger support..
[01:46] <Guest20516> touchscreen tablets, lubuntu has that virtual keyboard too ?
[01:47] <holstein> there will be many virtual keyboards in the repos
[01:47] <Guest20516> I see
[01:47] <Guest20516> does lubuntu work on the fly with touchscreen tablets ? or do i need to install something from the repository to get the touchscreen enabled
[01:49] <holstein> Guest20516: there is nothing about lubuntu preventing that device from working with it
[01:50] <holstein> i dont have it, or know specifically what model it is.. or, if i did, if i could say it would support linux/lubuntu or not
[01:50] <holstein> but, i would just try it, since, lubuntu is completely free, and open for you tro try it
[01:50] <holstein> to try it*
[01:50] <Guest20516> i mean, do I have to apt-get anything from the repositories to enable touchscreen in lubuntu ?
[01:51] <holstein> Guest20516: i dont know, friend.. ideally, the company that sells it would provide you that information.. but, they likely provide that information for another operating system
[01:51] <holstein> Guest20516: i would just try lubuntu, and see if it works. then, i would just read about touchscreen support in ubuntu, generally
[01:52] <Guest20516> i know for certain that ubuntu works with touchscreen
[01:52] <holstein> i have personally only had access to a few touchscreens, and they "just work" with linux..
[01:52] <holstein> Guest20516: lubuntu *is* ubuntu
[01:52] <Guest20516> yea so it should be fine i guess
[01:52] <Guest20516> thanks
[01:52] <holstein> no need to guess. just try it, live, or, install lxde in the ubuntu that you have tested
[02:20] <SparkMasterTape> Hey guys, I am trying to get an old sound card to work
[02:21] <SparkMasterTape> Dell Sound Blaster Live! (emu10k1x)
[02:24] <SparkMasterTape> I downloaded the package ld10k1 through synaptic which they call a patch loader
[02:24] <ianorlin> SparkMasterTape: does sound otherwise work on this?
[02:24] <SparkMasterTape> But thats as far as I know to go. I don't know how to have my machine use this driver opposed to the one thats currently not working
[02:24] <SparkMasterTape> Yes, it was an old Windows XP machine
[02:24] <SparkMasterTape> and it worked before the Lubuntu 15.04 install
[02:26] <SparkMasterTape> Its a 'Dell Sound Blaster Live!' audio card
[02:28] <SparkMasterTape> correction, emu10k1x
[02:28] <SparkMasterTape> after performing aplay -l
[02:38] <ianorlin> ah and that is only audio output?
[09:35] <nwdg> hello, trying to get some sound output from xchat, alsa's working but no sounds from xchat, anybody?
[09:47] <pmish> good morning
[09:48] <nwdg> morning
[09:48] <pmish> i have a question regarding flashing a bootable sd card
[09:49] <pmish> i use lubuntu for an embedded system but my linux experience is little
[09:49] <pmish> when i flash the sd card with that appropriate image i always get a root partition that is just large enough for the system
[09:49] <pmish> i get into trouble when i want to download additions to the system i.e. java
[09:50] <pmish> is there a way to use the whole of the sd card for "linuxroot"
[09:50] <pmish> ?
[09:50] <pmish> meaning one partition only
[09:50] <nwdg> lemme check
[09:51] <pmish> thanks
[09:57] <nwdg> you can plug the sd card in a machine and boot from disk to install lubuntu, then select the sd as destination and using gparted (which is the visual tool to create partitions) create a single partition on the sd and install the system there
[10:03] <pmish> okay i'll give it a try, thanks nwdg
[10:04] <nwdg> yw, let me know if u need help
[12:02] <abrakuku> been using lubuntu for years, just applied updates (which i do every day), and now: bluetooth manager has disappeared, vlc (installed by deb) has disappeared, tresorit (installed by deb) has disappeared, WTF is going on..?
[12:19] <leszek> abrakuku: the update manager should show you a big big warning box if it tries to remove something
[12:27] <holstein> abrakuku: disapeared?
[12:29] <abrakuku> after the reboot, everything i described did happen. i am 100% certain i didnt uninstall bluetooth manager (or vlc or tresorit), yet it disappeared, bluetooth manager is a system app.  this then is my last day of ubuntu/or linux for that matter, its fckng ridiculous. cya
[12:29] <abrakuku> yes
[12:29] <abrakuku> going to Start > Preferences > its not there anymore
[12:29] <abrakuku> too tired for this bullshit
[12:29] <abrakuku> uninstall lubuntu
[12:29] <abrakuku> bye
[12:30] <holstein> another satisfied customer ;)
[12:57] <leszek> there are simply too many bugs all over the place
[12:57] <leszek> It doesn't matter which operating system
[12:57] <leszek> *buntu never ever learned to handle encrypted drives properly for example
[16:48] <wxl> cc check in with lubuntu team at 1730 UTC (about 30 mins) at #ubuntu-meeting. feel free to join
[16:49] <pleia2> it may be a few minutes earlier depending on how many folks we get from MATE, I wish we didn't do the :30 thing x_x
[16:50] <pleia2> feel free to join #ubuntu-meeting in 10 minutes to see the whole meeting :)
