| Yolo123123 | hi | 15:24 |
| Yolo123123 | can anyone confirm, that the lxde wiki, forum and blog are offline? | 15:24 |
| redwolf | yes, it seems down, Yolo123123 | 15:24 |
| Yolo123123 | thanks | 15:25 |
| Yolo123123 | seems it is offline since 2 days then | 15:25 |
| redwolf | maybe they're doing some server stuff | 15:25 |
| Yolo123123 | cannot find any hint on that... | 15:27 |
| redwolf | there's a group for Razor/LXQt active in Google Groups | 15:27 |
| redwolf | if you're interested that forum is https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/razor-qt | 15:28 |
| redwolf | but I'm afraid it's LXQt focused only | 15:29 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Is LXQt even a thing for Lubuntu? | 15:29 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I mean, afaik that's for 16.10+. | 15:29 |
| Yolo123123 | I guess not | 15:29 |
| redwolf | it is our future Desktop | 15:29 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Yeah, but future in this case means somewhat distant future. Heh. | 15:29 |
| redwolf | yeah, I can't be more specific, with dates and staff, you know | 15:30 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Right. | 15:30 |
| redwolf | *stuff | 15:30 |
| Freddie_Mercury | That being said, current LXDE is OK, I just hope LXQt gets rid of some of the kinks. | 15:30 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Like widgets disappearing when the Iconify button is pressed. | 15:30 |
| redwolf | LXDE is not abandonware. you'll still get updates and fixes | 15:30 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Mmh. | 15:31 |
| redwolf | part of the team is working on it | 15:31 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Yeah. | 15:32 |
| redwolf | and Freddie_Mercury, LXQt has its own kinks :D | 15:33 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I bet. | 15:33 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Heh. | 15:33 |
| Yolo123123 | ok guys... thanks | 15:36 |
| redwolf | :) | 15:36 |
| Yolo123123 | I go... bye | 15:36 |
| redwolf | o/ | 15:36 |
| Guest14 | Should i use 64 bit lubuntu if my cpu is 64 bit ? is 64 bit use more RAM ? | 17:34 |
| redwolf | no | 17:36 |
| redwolf | actually you should, yes. using an OS matching your architecture ensures you're optimising the use of your computer | 17:36 |
| redwolf | I mean no to the memory thing :) | 17:37 |
| Guest14 | I have 1GB ram. | 17:37 |
| redwolf | also, Guest14, if your computer is not too old there's no reason at all to use 32 bits | 17:37 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Off-topic, but I think Windows has confused a lot of people about this -- since Windows 7 32-bit requires 1 GB RAM, 64-bit requires 2 GB RAM. | 17:38 |
| Freddie_Mercury | That's why people ask this question. | 17:38 |
| redwolf | really? I didn't know that about Windows :D | 17:38 |
| Guest14 | I am allready use the 64bit.. | 17:38 |
| redwolf | then don't worry, you're doing the right thing | 17:39 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Yeah, you should be OK. | 17:39 |
| Guest14 | I am not sure i can use all ram with lubuntu. it is a small distro. | 17:39 |
| redwolf | you can | 17:39 |
| redwolf | Linux can paginate the whole memory zone | 17:40 |
| redwolf | again unlike Windows, Linux is not limited by RAM size, or doesn't use pair blocks of RAM modules. it uses what you have. period. | 17:40 |
| redwolf | I installed Lubuntu in a Pentium II with 512MB RAM and a 20GB disk | 17:41 |
| Freddie_Mercury | How well did it run? | 17:41 |
| Freddie_Mercury | That's a rather ancient system. | 17:42 |
| redwolf | LibreOffice almost exploded :D | 17:42 |
| Guest14 | I have both. 1 machine with 512MB ram and another 64bit with 1GB ram. | 17:42 |
| redwolf | but Abiword was fluent. I noticed a lot problems with the browser | 17:42 |
| aedigital | pentium II, omg good times | 17:42 |
| aedigital | :) | 17:42 |
| redwolf | I did for testing it, and it actually worked :) | 17:42 |
| aedigital | nice | 17:43 |
| redwolf | yeah, Lubuntu is a little tough guy :) | 17:43 |
| aedigital | yeah | 17:43 |
| aedigital | here is celeron 4 2,4 ghz and 512 mb ram | 17:44 |
| redwolf | Celeron chips are well supported | 17:44 |
| aedigital | yeah | 17:45 |
| Freddie_Mercury | redwolf, Firefox? | 17:45 |
| Freddie_Mercury | tbh with that kind of system I'd use Epipaphy. | 17:45 |
| redwolf | yes, it was slow, until it froze | 17:45 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Much lighter, and unlike Midori, which is just insanely buggy. | 17:45 |
| redwolf | indeed, I'm even using Epiphany with my new laptop :D | 17:45 |
| * Freddie_Mercury nods. | 17:45 | |
| redwolf | I love that browser | 17:45 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Yeah, I also tried Dillo. | 17:45 |
| Freddie_Mercury | But that one looks like a Windows 3.1 browser. No joke. | 17:46 |
| Freddie_Mercury | It's like going back 25 years or so. | 17:46 |
| redwolf | yes :D | 17:46 |
| Guest14 | is firefox still 32 bit in lubuntu 64 bit ? | 17:46 |
| redwolf | maybe it's not a bad idea including Xombrero by default | 17:46 |
| redwolf | no, Guest14, every app you use is compiled in 64bit | 17:46 |
| Guest14 | good. | 17:46 |
| Guest14 | i think with 1Gb ram i cud run a bigger linux distro. | 17:47 |
| redwolf | and every app you download from the software center is using the appropriate architecture | 17:47 |
| Freddie_Mercury | It depends not much on the /distro/, Guest14, but your desktop environment. | 17:47 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Unity would struggle on that system; and that's still Ubuntu, just like Lubuntu. | 17:47 |
| redwolf | try with Xubuntu (a bit heavier) or any other flavour :) | 17:47 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Same distro, different requirements. | 17:47 |
| Freddie_Mercury | If you want even lighter than Lubuntu, you'd have to go not desktop environment, but plain window managers. | 17:48 |
| Freddie_Mercury | These are harder to configure. | 17:48 |
| redwolf | a plain Openbox session, but it's hard to configure too | 17:49 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Right. | 17:49 |
| Guest14 | I used xubuntu before and i like it. | 17:50 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Xfce is pretty legit. A bit off-topic here, but my next computer will probably have a distro with Xfce and compiz. | 17:50 |
| Freddie_Mercury | </off-topic> | 17:50 |
| redwolf | don't worry. and we have a #lubuntu-offtopic too for talking about cats, and xubuntu, and kittens. | 17:52 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Heh. | 17:52 |
| Gatiw | hi | 17:53 |
| aedigital | hehe | 17:53 |
| Gatiw | how to enable flash on chromium"? | 17:53 |
| redwolf | what version of Lubuntu do you have Gatiw ? | 17:53 |
| Gatiw | redwolf: 12 | 17:54 |
| redwolf | try this first: sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree | 17:54 |
| Gatiw | redwolf: nop | 17:55 |
| redwolf | Gatiw, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:55 |
| Freddie_Mercury | redwolf, what happens if I run that on 14.04 LTS? :> | 17:55 |
| redwolf | Gatiw, try this first: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 17:55 |
| redwolf | sorry, Freddie_Mercury, if you run what? | 17:55 |
| Freddie_Mercury | sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:56 |
| redwolf | in 14.04 flash is not there, but you'll get extra audio and video codecs | 17:56 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Awesome. | 17:56 |
| redwolf | Since that version we recommend Pepper | 17:57 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I see. | 17:57 |
| redwolf | anyway I don't recommend using Flash at all, and major websites use now HTML5 | 17:57 |
| Gatiw | redwolf: i have driver problems with kernels in lubuntu 14 and 15 | 17:57 |
| redwolf | so you shouldn't need it | 17:57 |
| redwolf | Gatiw, what kind of driver problems? | 17:58 |
| Gatiw | redwolf: i dont know why html5 doesnt work for me | 17:58 |
| Gatiw | redwolf: my pc crashes | 17:58 |
| redwolf | it's supposed that higher versions give more support | 17:58 |
| redwolf | have you tried 15.04? | 17:58 |
| Gatiw | redwolf: like sound problems, wont boot, etc, yes it ried | 17:58 |
| redwolf | well, that is odd | 17:58 |
| Gatiw | redwolf: i have old laptop | 17:58 |
| Freddie_Mercury | o.0 | 17:58 |
| redwolf | the drivers are usually the same plus a few addons in the kernel | 17:58 |
| redwolf | Gatiw, what laptop? | 17:58 |
| Gatiw | redwolf: i lose sound in lubuntu 14 and 15. HP 6715s | 17:59 |
| redwolf | ah I see | 17:59 |
| redwolf | strange, anyways | 17:59 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Gatiw http://askubuntu.com/questions/640889/hp-compaq-6715s-sound | 18:00 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Oh, drats. | 18:00 |
| Freddie_Mercury | No answer there >_> | 18:00 |
| Gatiw | Freddie_Mercury: yep same problem | 18:00 |
| Gatiw | if i install later kernel laptop wont even boot; black screen | 18:01 |
| redwolf | I have an Acer Aspire with speakers sound too :D | 18:02 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Gatiw: Try to press Shifty, F12 or whatever before it tries to boot the kernel to get to the GRUB menu. | 18:03 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Gatiw: Then in the Advanced option, see if you can make it use a previous kernel. | 18:03 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Shift* | 18:03 |
| Gatiw | Freddie_Mercury: yes i know | 18:03 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Oh, I thought you had that issue unresolved. Hm. | 18:04 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Weird. | 18:04 |
| Gatiw | Is it safe to downgrade kernel in latest lubuntu? | 18:04 |
| Gatiw | Freddie_Mercury: thats why i use lubuntu 12 | 18:04 |
| Freddie_Mercury | ...well, your only other option for that laptop is to boot into a black screen, so you tell me. =P | 18:04 |
| Guest14 | guvcview in lubuntu is not working. | 18:04 |
| dzho | if it's choosing a kernel that is still installed, it's not quite "downgrading" | 18:04 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Did you try running it from command like with -r 2 parameter? | 18:05 |
| Freddie_Mercury | "guvcview -r 2" | 18:05 |
| Freddie_Mercury | In terminal. | 18:05 |
| Freddie_Mercury | ^ Guest14 | 18:05 |
| dzho | but I've done that a couple of times to rescue a system that didn't quite upgrade completely | 18:05 |
| Gatiw | dzho: i mean installin kernel in lubuntu 15 that's on lubuntu 12 | 18:05 |
| Guest14 | No.. i run it from the menu. | 18:06 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Guest14, try it from terminal like that. | 18:06 |
| Guest14 | And i have to open it in termeinal like that every time ? | 18:06 |
| Guest14 | *terminal | 18:06 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I personally haven't found another fix either. | 18:06 |
| Gatiw | need to restart\ | 18:07 |
| Freddie_Mercury | What I do is, I use that, and if the terminal window is annoying, I move it to another desktop. | 18:07 |
| Freddie_Mercury | :D | 18:07 |
| Guest14 | Is cheese working in lubuntu ? | 18:07 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Let me open it up real quick to test. | 18:08 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Hold on. | 18:08 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Ah, I remember this now. | 18:08 |
| Freddie_Mercury | What happens with Cheese is that the picture shows for a split second, and then it goes dark. | 18:08 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I had to install guvcview to get around that. | 18:08 |
| Freddie_Mercury | iirc this was a kernel issue with some webcams. | 18:09 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I tried to get a newer version of CHeese but that broke other things, so I got rid of it. | 18:09 |
| Guest14 | Can i use mobile broadband in lubuntu ? what software is needed for that ? | 18:12 |
| Freddie_Mercury | In which way? Directly or tethering from a smartphone? | 18:13 |
| Freddie_Mercury | The later I've tried, works perfectly. | 18:13 |
| Guest14 | directly in the usb port. | 18:14 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Right; if you have an Android smartphone, go to Settings > More Settings> Tethering and Portable Hotspot | 18:15 |
| Freddie_Mercury | And there there should be a tickmark to check when you've connected the smartphone via USB to your computer. | 18:15 |
| Guest14 | I meen a broadband modem and a simcard in the usb port. | 18:15 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Ohhh. | 18:16 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Probably you can? | 18:16 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Guest14, it seems one of the problems people experience is that the modem is detected as a storage device and not a modem. This details how to fix that, should it happen http://askubuntu.com/questions/143989/3g-usb-modem-not-working-in-12-04 | 18:21 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Guest14, thing is, many mobile broadband modems have Windows and OSX drivers, which work for those other OS's once the drive is inserted. | 18:23 |
| Freddie_Mercury | But of course, since Linux can't use those drivers, it only detects it as a USB flash drive. | 18:23 |
| Freddie_Mercury | So some extra work is required. | 18:23 |
| nerd351 | Hi I'm new user of Lubuntu | 18:38 |
| nerd351 | I find it awesom | 18:38 |
| nerd351 | It's not diffrent From windows :) | 18:38 |
| leszek | oO | 18:39 |
| aedigital | urggh | 18:39 |
| aedigital | :) | 18:39 |
| leszek | nerd351: not sure if this is a compliment or | 18:39 |
| aedigital | hehehehe | 18:39 |
| nerd351 | yeah it is | 18:40 |
| Freddie_Mercury | If you mean the looks, maybe it isn't. | 18:40 |
| nerd351 | but its true | 18:40 |
| nerd351 | too | 18:40 |
| Freddie_Mercury | But philosophically speaking... | 18:40 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Windows and Ubuntu, and GNU/Linux in general, are very differnet. | 18:40 |
| Freddie_Mercury | different | 18:40 |
| nerd351 | It's easy for a normal user to Be Linux user | 18:40 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Yes, desktop environments have made that easier. | 18:41 |
| Freddie_Mercury | That still doesn't mean people should shy away from the terminal. | 18:41 |
| nerd351 | that's what i'm talking about | 18:41 |
| Freddie_Mercury | That's where real power lies. | 18:41 |
| Guest14 | I think he meens the menu system. It is look like windows envirement. | 18:41 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Yes, I know. | 18:41 |
| nerd351 | I hated ubuntu For the unity | 18:41 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Heh. :) | 18:41 |
| nerd351 | also Seen mint What do u think Bro ? | 18:42 |
| nerd351 | Which one is Great ? | 18:42 |
| waldi_ | hi, i freshly installed lubuntu with wubi, now i try to apt-get udate but i get a bunch of 404's and Ign stuff, doesn't seem to work ... how can i fix this? | 21:12 |
| waldi_ | i already tried sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* but doesn't help | 21:12 |
| genii | waldi_: what says result of cat /etc/issue | 21:16 |
| Guest14 | Can it be correct when i have two computers with lubuntu and there is only new updates showing up for one of them ? | 23:09 |
| Guest14 | Is the updates depended of the hardware ? | 23:10 |
| Guest14 | I guess it is because i am using 32 bit and 64 bit. | 23:19 |
| Unit193 | Or different mirrors. | 23:19 |
| Guest14 | Maybe.. | 23:22 |
| Guest14 | Is there any programs who let me comunicate between 2 computer with lubuntu, i meen like local chat on the same network ? | 23:24 |
