[02:45] <EcoChief> newbie to lubuntu here:   can it handle java?
[02:54] <EcoChief> Struggling like mad on getting it to work with Firefox.
[02:55] <zerorax> why would you want java to work with firefox?
[02:55] <zerorax> yes it can handle java, but running java in your browser is a huge security risk
[02:55] <EcoChief> I want to remote log-in to work
[02:56] <zerorax> remote login to what?
[02:56] <EcoChief> The office uses Sonic WAll Virtuall Office, that allows me to remote into my desktop at the office.
[02:57] <zerorax> well, did you install java?
[02:58] <EcoChief> yes, that was a trick.  Since posting my first message, I have gotten firefox to recognize the plugin.
[02:58] <EcoChief> Still seems like no joy.
[03:00] <EcoChief> Well, zeroax, you are a genius.  It opened afterall.  Thanks for your help.
[03:00] <EcoChief> Do you recommend disabling java when not in use?
[03:01] <zerorax> I use noscript firefox addon personally, it disables all scripting on pages by default, but a lot of people find it annoying because so many sites rely on scripting
[03:02] <zerorax> it breaks a lot of sites
[03:03] <EcoChief> I'll have to look that up.  Is there a better browser?
[03:03] <zerorax> better how?
[03:03] <zerorax> firefox is probably the one you want
[03:04] <zerorax> there are lots of other choices though
[03:04] <EcoChief> security
[03:04] <zerorax> yeah, firefox is probably your best bet
[03:04] <EcoChief> OK, thanks.
[03:04] <EcoChief> Have a great night.
[07:31] <mapm> hi
[08:55] <mapm> hi, I have a problem with a lubuntu encrypted installation. When booting, grub automatically starts loading Lubuntu but then it says (loading a kernel with a "verbose" parameter instead of "quiet splash") "Begin: Runnng /scripts/local-bloc ... done." lots of times then "done" then "Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the
[08:55] <mapm> system wait for the right device?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/mapper/lubuntu--vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" Then busybox
[14:21] <pabs1_> hi there!! anyone who does know about kernel modules and fan speed?
[19:42] <niki_> Hello, I'm trying to use ibus in Lubuntu to switch my layout between dvorak and french.
[19:43] <niki_> Ibus-daemon is started, yet selecting the french layout still inputs the default dvorak one...
[19:45] <niki_> Thank for any help regarding ibus !
