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