| titan914 | Just installed LUBuntu on a Dell XPS 13 9343 and I am unable to install the broadcom drivers for the wireless card as I would from a standard Ubuntu install. The only NIC it has is a wireless one. Any suggestions on how to get the drivers installed? | 00:56 |
| tsimonq2 | !broadcom | 00:59 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 00:59 |
| tsimonq2 | Maybe? :) | 00:59 |

| titan914 | tsimonq2: lspci i dont have lspci and the drivers need dependencies to install. Not sure how to go about downloading them on this computer and installing them on the lubuntu. | 01:18 |
| tsimonq2 | titan914: What system are you on now? | 01:22 |
| Bman_ | how do I acess keybord shortcuts? | 01:29 |
| tsimonq2 | I guess Bman_ figured it out... | 01:31 |
| titan914 | tsimonq2: I'm on a windows 10 box at the moment. | 01:32 |
| tsimonq2 | titan914: Ok, what kind of dependencies does it need to install? | 01:34 |
| titan914 | tsimonq2: GCC is one for the Braodcom drivers that are on the ubuntu 16.04 boot disk. | 01:35 |
| titan914 | tsimonq2: Trying "sudo dkps -i *.deb" | 01:35 |
| titan914 | On the drivers. | 01:35 |
| tsimonq2 | titan914: What you can do is go to packages.ubuntu.com, download the deb files for each package onto a flash drive, put it in the computer, mount the drive, and run `sudo apt install ./*.deb` in the directory that has your deb files. | 01:37 |
| titan914 | tsimonq2: Awesome, thank you. | 01:38 |
| tsimonq2 | titan914: You're welcome. :) | 01:41 |
| titan914 | tsimonq2: So downloaded the GCC package and I cannot install the GCC package because I need the GCC package to install the GCC package. T_T | 01:51 |
| tsimonq2 | titan914: You have an exact error? | 02:13 |
| hatchet | any simple solutions to disable touchpad tap to click? | 03:01 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | howdy | 09:02 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | is there any better monitor manager than lxrandr? | 09:02 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | that offers necessary settings | 09:02 |
| leszek | Shawn|i7-Q720M: you can try arandr | 09:04 |
| leszek | it has the better UI imho. Though technically both are based on randr protocol so don't expect it to have tons of differences in terms of resolutions available or such | 09:04 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | well I am looking for a gui to control xrandr's overscan and underscan stuff | 09:05 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | no overscan settings in arandr? | 09:18 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | is there an overscan gui? | 09:27 |
| === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka | ||
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I'm not finding any underscan fixes for lubuntu s-video output | 09:40 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | if only resizing s-video would be easy | 10:34 |
| leszek | I don't think there is a gui for this | 10:38 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | why hasn't anyone implemented such :( | 10:39 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I want to elimiate the huge black border around my desktop on this analog 9" crt | 10:40 |
| hateball | I imagine not too many still use s-video and/or 9" CRTs, hence the lack of such a GUI | 10:41 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | ah | 10:42 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | is there a transform helper? | 10:43 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | for xrandr | 10:44 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I'm sure there are some people who still use analog CRTs | 10:45 |
| hateball | Yep, probably not too many using it in combination with s-video is my guess tho | 10:51 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | ah | 10:51 |
| hateball | That said, it's probably fixable, I just... have no idea | 10:51 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I like that this laptop can output s-video | 10:51 |
| hateball | what gpu/driver is it? intel? | 10:52 |
| hateball | Shawn|i7-Q720M: a googling gives this https://newagesoldier.com/linux-hdmi-resize-screen-overscan-fix-ubuntu/ | 10:53 |
| === shawn196 is now known as shawn|iCenD | ||
| hateball | dunno if it's applicable to your situation | 10:54 |
| shawn|iCenD | heres this laptop's xrandr output https://hastebin.com/iremiqidin | 10:54 |
| shawn|iCenD | no overscan command for svideo | 10:55 |
| shawn|iCenD | thought I can try that | 10:55 |
| shawn|iCenD | I did come across that, but left it | 10:55 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | didn't really do anything | 10:57 |
| hateball | Shawn|i7-Q720M: You may have better luck asking in a more general channel, like #ubuntu or even #linux | 10:59 |
| hateball | Shawn|i7-Q720M: More active users and all that, since it's not really distro-specific | 11:00 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | ah | 11:00 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | why is your name hateball? | 11:00 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | well, heres a picture https://s25.postimg.org/hns4fg6in/IMGP2254.jpg | 11:02 |
| hateball | Shawn|i7-Q720M: It is one of the secrets of this universe | 11:03 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | ah | 11:03 |
| hateball | Yeah I understand the problem, it's just I havent used S-video in a decade+ | 11:03 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I was wondering if it was aimed toward "ball" a fellow irc user | 11:03 |
| hateball | It's just a handle | 11:04 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | ah | 11:04 |
| hateball | A lovehandle | 11:04 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | lol | 11:04 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | love certainly does not mean hate | 11:04 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | stinkin arandr is causing window bleed between both displays | 11:18 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | not very many seem to be familiar with s-video | 11:38 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | arandr on lubuntu seems screwed up | 11:48 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I put them side by side, and my CRT is getting window bleed, and wont go full screen | 11:49 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | from a window on the LVDS display | 11:49 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | picture quality on the crt itself is fine | 11:49 |
| kranthi_ | hi | 12:00 |
| kranthi_ | anybody knows how I can enable compiz in lxde | 12:01 |
| leszek | kranthi_: install it and run it with compiz --replace | 12:04 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | hateball, I just did some testing with --transform, and it does not affect the black borders | 12:06 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | no matter the munber I touch, the black borders remain | 12:10 |

| Justin__ | Stupid install question: I downloaded lubuntu 17.04 and burned the .iso to a DVD rom. On the PC I am trying to install too. I switched boot sequence to DC/DVDrom first, but it is not booting off DVDROM. Instead it goes into my older existing ubuntu. Is there a way I can install without booting, and instead, get into existing ubuntu OS and from there run and install the lubunu iso burned on DVD ROM? | 19:23 |
| xangua | Justin__: did you burn it as image or file? | 19:24 |
| wxl | Justin__: i'd double check the install. i'm sure if you made it so that it ONLY booted to cd/dvd, it would fail. | 19:24 |
| wxl | s/install/image/ | 19:24 |
| Justin__ | I downloaded and burned the image from a macbook. I just right clicked the downloaded file and selected burn to disk. I imagine that is not the right way to do it | 19:26 |
| gregk | hello! I'm hoping someone here will be kind enough to answer my questions | 19:34 |
| gregk | 1- lubuntu is a "lighter ubuntu" for older, less capable machines like my dad's old P4 1ghz that struggles with windows xp? | 19:36 |
| gregk | 2- lubuntu can be tried before installation, like the progenitor, from an ISO on a USB key? | 19:37 |
| krytarik | gregk: Yes, yes. :) | 19:39 |
| gregk | so I've DL'd the 32bit ISO; all I need to do is use rufus to make a bootable key and get to it? | 19:40 |
| krytarik | Yeah, or any other tool that works. | 19:41 |
| gregk | I'm reading the wiki...this seems too good to be true. Dad'll stop calling for tech support I hope...once he wraps his head around it | 19:42 |
| gregk | awesome, thank you! you'll make a man who doesn't like to spend $ on "new" very happy | 19:43 |
| gregk | oh yeah, it should be much snappier...P4@2.4GHz with 2GB Ram | 20:27 |
