[00:06] hi [00:06] What do you recommend to use for skype video calls? [00:07] um, skype? XD [00:07] Ok, so from the skype site. Didn't find it in synaptic. [00:07] right right [00:07] i think: [00:07] !skype [00:07] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [00:07] that MAY be updated [00:07] i think i just installed it from the skype site, tho [00:08] i also think it may still be in the partner repo [00:08] !partner [00:08] Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [00:09] ok, thx. [00:09] np [00:09] I'm too exhausted for that now, though. [00:09] heheh understood [00:09] end of my day here [00:09] about to head out [00:09] so rest well ;) [00:09] thx [00:09] sem [00:09] same [00:11] btw, thanks for lubuntu. It makes this acer aspire one useful again. With Windows XP it was notoriously out of memory etc. [00:12] 8 GB SSD, 1 GB RAM, Atom N270 (IIRC). Single core (two logical) at 1.6 GHz. [00:13] before that [00:13] before that I tried slitaz, which was very slim, but it's web browsers didn't work, including firefox 10 (sic). [00:14] Well, they didn't work for some sites. === john is now known as Guest20516 [01:46] can I use lubuntu on touchscreens? [01:46] try it.. should work fine [01:46] i wouldnt expect amazing mutli-finger support.. [01:46] touchscreen tablets, lubuntu has that virtual keyboard too ? [01:47] there will be many virtual keyboards in the repos [01:47] I see [01:47] 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] Guest20516: there is nothing about lubuntu preventing that device from working with it [01:50] 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] but, i would just try it, since, lubuntu is completely free, and open for you tro try it [01:50] to try it* [01:50] i mean, do I have to apt-get anything from the repositories to enable touchscreen in lubuntu ? [01:51] 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] Guest20516: i would just try lubuntu, and see if it works. then, i would just read about touchscreen support in ubuntu, generally [01:52] i know for certain that ubuntu works with touchscreen [01:52] i have personally only had access to a few touchscreens, and they "just work" with linux.. [01:52] Guest20516: lubuntu *is* ubuntu [01:52] yea so it should be fine i guess [01:52] thanks [01:52] no need to guess. just try it, live, or, install lxde in the ubuntu that you have tested [02:20] Hey guys, I am trying to get an old sound card to work [02:21] Dell Sound Blaster Live! (emu10k1x) [02:24] I downloaded the package ld10k1 through synaptic which they call a patch loader [02:24] SparkMasterTape: does sound otherwise work on this? [02:24] 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] Yes, it was an old Windows XP machine [02:24] and it worked before the Lubuntu 15.04 install [02:26] Its a 'Dell Sound Blaster Live!' audio card [02:28] correction, emu10k1x [02:28] after performing aplay -l [02:38] ah and that is only audio output? [09:35] hello, trying to get some sound output from xchat, alsa's working but no sounds from xchat, anybody? [09:47] good morning [09:48] morning [09:48] i have a question regarding flashing a bootable sd card [09:49] i use lubuntu for an embedded system but my linux experience is little [09:49] 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] i get into trouble when i want to download additions to the system i.e. java [09:50] is there a way to use the whole of the sd card for "linuxroot" [09:50] ? [09:50] meaning one partition only [09:50] lemme check [09:51] thanks [09:57] 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] okay i'll give it a try, thanks nwdg [10:04] yw, let me know if u need help [12:02] 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] abrakuku: the update manager should show you a big big warning box if it tries to remove something [12:27] abrakuku: disapeared? [12:29] 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] yes [12:29] going to Start > Preferences > its not there anymore [12:29] too tired for this bullshit [12:29] uninstall lubuntu [12:29] bye [12:30] another satisfied customer ;) [12:57] there are simply too many bugs all over the place [12:57] It doesn't matter which operating system [12:57] *buntu never ever learned to handle encrypted drives properly for example [16:48] cc check in with lubuntu team at 1730 UTC (about 30 mins) at #ubuntu-meeting. feel free to join [16:49] 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] feel free to join #ubuntu-meeting in 10 minutes to see the whole meeting :) [16:50] hahahahah
