| kaosine | Lavinho: if you're asking how to install it on there, you either need to burn the ISO for lubuntu to a CD or make a bootable flashdrive | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| * kaosine is really considering doing the same thing with a older laptop too if he can fix the battery issues with it >_> | 00:03 | |
| daffodil | heh i'm working on trying to get lubuntu onto a lenovo s10e right now, having some i/o issues i haven't worked around | 00:04 |
| daffodil | i downloaded a tool called rufus on a windows machine and used that to write the iso to a USB stick | 00:04 |
| daffodil | Lavinho, download the lubuntu iso you want and then read and do this: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows (assuming you ahve a windows machine you can use) | 00:05 |
| kaosine | yeah I've got several old laptops I'm contemplating putting lubuntu on but I need to fix their battery issues first and that's money I don't have | 00:05 |
| kaosine | I'd track down a cheap lenovo instead but it'd probably be easier to buy a new battery for the systems XD | 00:06 |
| daffodil | battery working fine in the lenovo, battery seems to be dead in this old toshiba i'm putting full ubuntu on now, but still runs from power cord so running with it | 00:06 |
| daffodil | i keep getting that errno 5 input/output error that says spin the CD/DVD at a lower rate even though it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive and i'm installing from USB | 00:06 |
| daffodil | so if you have any tips on that i'd be grateful, best advice i found on google so far was 'keep trying, did it about 20 times for me and then finally worked' LOL | 00:07 |
| kaosine | I'm also running lubuntu inside of parallels on mac so there's that too XD | 00:07 |
| daffodil | ah cool :) what's parallels? virtual machine for mac? i've done dual boot on windows before but not mac | 00:07 |
| daffodil | current macbook about 5 years old, looking to get new one soon and may set up dual boot, haven't thought that far ahead yet | 00:07 |
| kaosine | yeah it's one of the better VM's I've ever found | 00:07 |
| daffodil | this weekend's project was to figure out what to do with two old laptops and see if i can get my raspberry pi going so i can install a detachable IRC client | 00:08 |
| kaosine | it basically allows for a setup near wine but better but also requires you to have the OS in question for it to work. I was really hoping to possibly revive a old xp machine long enough to move it to parallels or some vm at least | 00:09 |
| kaosine | it'd be nice to have win95/98 because there's some oddities I've not been able to get up in wine | 00:09 |

| daffodil | cool :) | 00:09 |
| kaosine | namely some old Learning Company games..... | 00:10 |
| daffodil | ubuntu install going fine so far on old toshiba, not sure what to do with the lenovo. i checked memory and it passed 100%. checked hard drive and it had 13 errors | 00:10 |
| daffodil | i'll keep googling this errno 5 thing but if you have any ideas let me know | 00:12 |
| kaosine | what would be really nice is I think one or more old laptops I saved from the trash are XP machines and get a docking station I can slide them into and run as a desktop or pull their OS. I might even have a old 98 computer with a bad screen that I could pull that from if it still works. | 00:12 |
| kaosine | but yeah all those error codes I'm likely not to be the best person to ask....I may know ubu to some extent but error codes are something I usually never get unless I configure something wrong | 00:13 |
| daffodil | no problem, thanks though :) | 00:27 |
| daffodil | ubuntu installation on toshiba seems to be successful | 00:27 |
| daffodil | and in the meantime i got two eggdrops to talk to each other (megahal script) and the results are amazingly funny | 00:27 |
| daffodil | interesting | 00:36 |
| daffodil | new ubuntu is app-like | 00:36 |
| daffodil | like a mac | 00:36 |
| daffodil | interesting | 00:36 |
| daffodil | running upgrades on it now, then hopefully can download the raspberry pi image i want and actually flash it to the memory card correctly | 00:37 |
| === LONGERSTAFF13 is now known as longerstaff13 | ||
| kaosine | daffodil: yeah i've not been a fan of the straight ubuntu since 14(?) when they did that weird unity windows manager in it. It got super battery intensive on the comptuer I had it on back then XD | 00:43 |
| daffodil | i have to say it's interesting looking at it | 00:45 |
| daffodil | it's like where do i go to look at the software that's on it | 00:45 |
| daffodil | and now it's gone to an app store type deal | 00:45 |
| daffodil | i guess you use the search for everything, kind of weird | 00:47 |
| daffodil | ah well | 00:47 |
| kaosine | see and I prefer the windows start menu so lxde is great | 00:47 |
| daffodil | my primary computer is a macbook so i don't mind too much | 00:47 |
| kaosine | I'm still not knowledgeable on how to add my wine programs to the menu so yeah XD | 00:48 |
| kaosine | I still prefer this over macOS and windows though. If I knew I could easily manipulate wine and install anything I need for school in wine I'd be happy | 00:49 |
| xangua | kaosine: not anything tho | 00:58 |
| kaosine | xangua: ?? | 01:00 |
| jcuba89 | hello | 01:01 |
| xangua | Hello Cuba | 01:01 |
| jcuba89 | I am having troubles with the bright of my screen Can u help me? | 01:01 |
| jcuba89 | What can I do? | 01:02 |
| jcuba89 | Can anyone help me please? | 01:03 |
| kaosine | jcuba89: that sounds like it should be a button on your monitor or keyboard(if it's a laptop) | 01:04 |
| jcuba89 | it is a laptop | 01:04 |
| jcuba89 | I used to have lubuntu 16 04 | 01:05 |
| kaosine | then yeah there's probably a button/key combination for the laptop. I'd recommended looking up a manual for the computer to see which it is | 01:05 |
| jcuba89 | and I had to go back because a friend gave me the complete offline repo | 01:06 |
| jcuba89 | I didnt have that problem back ther because I had a control | 01:06 |
| jcuba89 | over the batery icon | 01:06 |
| jcuba89 | but now I dont | 01:07 |
| jcuba89 | and my screen is too bright | 01:07 |
| jcuba89 | Yeah I already looked the manual | 01:08 |
| jcuba89 | and didnt find what I needed | 01:08 |
| jcuba89 | What can I do | 01:08 |
| jcuba89 | Any ideas please???????????????? | 01:09 |
| daffodil | my laptop has it on the f keys so i hold down the fn and use f6 and f7 to decrease and increase respectively | 01:09 |
| daffodil | although on my macbook it's f5 and f6 | 01:09 |
| daffodil | oh no sorry f1 and f2 | 01:09 |
| jcuba89 | the f keys? | 01:09 |
| daffodil | yeah, the function keys along the top | 01:10 |
| daffodil | those usually adjust brightness on laptops | 01:10 |
| daffodil | two of them anyway | 01:10 |
| daffodil | but i'm off for the night, good luck, nice tlaking to you kaosine | 01:10 |

| nx9010 | Hey everyone, I've got some issue where I can't open my Software, does anyone have a better solution to getting new software on Lubuntu? running on an old laptop here | 12:09 |
| nx9010 | I mean the software center | 12:09 |
| pavlushka | nx9010: you can try Synaptic | 12:58 |
| nx9010 | pavlushka, I have Synaptic package manager | 13:03 |
| pavlushka | nx9010: so you can work from there to manage packages | 13:04 |
| pavlushka | nx9010: or it seems a little complex? synaptic | 13:05 |
| nx9010 | Yes I wish I had a software center like in Ubuntu | 13:06 |
| nx9010 | Running on an old laptop here so I am forced to use Lubuntu, even Xubuntu did not run smooth on it. | 13:06 |
| daffodil | do it from command line | 14:49 |
| daffodil | sudo apt-get install <package> | 14:50 |
