| tsimonq2 | n-iCe: Yep | 00:21 |
|---|---|---|
| tsimonq2 | n-iCe: We're keeping it. | 00:21 |
| tsimonq2 | n-iCe: We said something on Twitter on 9/28: https://twitter.com/LubuntuOfficial/status/913532513234096128 | 00:21 |
| n-iCe | but is it going to be oficial? | 00:22 |
| tsimonq2 | Yes. | 00:22 |
| n-iCe | since ubuntu will not keep it, and you grubs stuff from ubuntu | 00:22 |
| tsimonq2 | n-iCe: Only Ubuntu *Desktop* is dropping it | 00:22 |
| tsimonq2 | Every other flavor and us is keeping it | 00:22 |
| n-iCe | oh ok | 00:22 |

| zap0 | hi, i recently did a software update.... it rebooted. and now it wont start | 11:30 |
| zap0 | it seems to get as far as doing some query with the wifi... | 11:30 |
| zap0 | i have booted a usb-live lubuntu ok | 11:31 |
| zap0 | how do i fix the one of the HDD ? | 11:31 |
| leszek | zap0: you need to figure out what is causing the issue. So what the culprit is | 11:31 |
| leszek | if its just a newer kernel lubuntu saves a list of installed kernels even older ones in the bootloader. So maybe try booting an older kernel | 11:32 |
| zap0 | ok. | 11:32 |
| zap0 | so how do i go about doing that? | 11:32 |
| zap0 | i have the live ubuntu up and running. | 11:32 |
| leszek | zap0: go to the bootloader by rebooting | 11:33 |
| zap0 | ok; what key is that? F1? f2? F8 ? | 11:34 |
| leszek | usually it should appear on its own. Though if you only have lubuntu installed it might skip the grub bootloader. So pressing escape or shift should do | 11:35 |
| zap0 | ok. | 11:35 |
| zap0 | got to grub.. theres a huge list of (i'm guessing) kernel images.. blah blah 4.10.0-33-generic.. in batches of 3.. 1) -- 2) upstart 3) recovery. and then older 4.10.0-(less than 33) | 11:37 |
| leszek | zap0: exactly | 11:38 |
| leszek | try one of the older ones and see if it works with them | 11:38 |
| zap0 | do i go for the latest one in recovery mode; or the previous version? | 11:38 |
| zap0 | tried older one; that's got the same weird issue.. it's stuck trying to reset the graphics mode (i'm guessing).. it goes between a screen with a cursor and the text log.. over and over again | 11:42 |
| leszek | zap0: sounds like a driver issue to me | 11:49 |
| leszek | do you have to happen anything proprietary installed? | 11:49 |
| zap0 | it's a netbook.. it's been running fine (without any hardware changes) for over a year.. i've upgraded thru about 6 versions of lubuntu.. nothings changed. | 11:50 |
| zap0 | the problem started a few days ago when i did that regular software upgrade thing (just updates the installed stuff) | 11:51 |
| zap0 | i have no propretiry stuff. i don't do any kernel level stuff at all. | 11:51 |
| zap0 | i have tried doing some arduino coding from it.... so maybe (big guess) it has a USB driver for that?!?! that's the only thing i can think of | 11:52 |
| zap0 | never had issues with it though. | 11:52 |
| zap0 | is there some feature where i can roll back recent updates? | 11:53 |
| leszek | zap0: if you did not do any btrfs snapshot then no | 12:11 |
| leszek | zap0: would be nice to know where the issue is. Can you take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 12:11 |

| chilaka | Thank you | 16:43 |
| chilaka | I uploaded the screenshot of the error i am getting | 16:43 |
| redwolf | ah perfect. I see it now. | 16:43 |
| chilaka | :) | 16:43 |
| redwolf | that error happens for two reasons: 1. the installer is corrupt (download failed). 2. that bug happened before and it's being fixed | 16:44 |
| redwolf | something related to EFI | 16:44 |
| mmarconm | chilaka, are u using usb boot or dvd to install lubuntu ? | 16:45 |
| chilaka | dvd | 16:45 |
| chilaka | i installed virtual box first and then downloaded the lubuntu desktop 17.04 | 16:45 |
| chilaka | i am following this site to install : https://dwheelerau.com/2014/01/25/setting-up-a-lubuntu-virtual-machine-with-virtual-box/ | 16:47 |
| mmarconm | chilaka, this install on screenshot is a virtual m, or real machine ? | 16:56 |
| chilaka | its in virtual machine | 16:59 |
| mixfmredfox | Hi guys. help with advice I installed today LUBUNTU 17.04 near with Windows 7 encountered such a problem when I run LUBUNTU then the port does not work, the indicators are not lit, nothing at all, how I can not connect, when I restart the PC on Windows, the same situation happens, the network card does not work no signs of life (although in fact everything is fine-tuned, and working before installing Linux) found the solution to | 18:15 |
| mixfmredfox | I pull out the PC and do a BIOS reset (clrcmos) then when you start Windows everything works, everything is as usual, and when I run Linux, everything will repeat and such a problem was observed in other Linux destructives (Ubuntu, Linux Mint,) tell me what the problem can be and how it can be solved thank you in advance | 18:15 |
| as2330 | hele me | 18:17 |

| yusu | i am new to Linux. How do I install Lubuntu on my Pc that is already running Ubuntu 14.04 and crashes Firefox multiple times during any browsing session? | 18:58 |
| wxl | yusu: if you're trying to "fix" firefox by doing that, i'm not sure it will happen, unless your issue is that you're running out of memory | 18:59 |
| yusu | I am not out of memory. I have 69 gigs and 2gigs ram | 19:01 |
| wxl | then the issue probably lies in firefox itself somewhere | 19:01 |
| wxl | did you try using a new profile? | 19:01 |
| yusu | no, how do I do that? I tried updating The ubuntu but it doesn't allow me to do so. | 19:03 |
| wxl | do `firefox -ProfileManager` and make a new profile and use it | 19:04 |
| yusu | ok i will try that. if it is not successful can I come back to you? | 19:05 |
| wxl | sure btu you can also do #firefox on irc.mozilla.org | 19:06 |
| yusu | ok. Thanks, will keep you posted. | 19:07 |
| rivermonk | hiyas, Lubuntu kids | 19:27 |
| rivermonk | question: I have been using the 32bit Ubuntu release for several year, with outstanding results. Since Ubuntu is dropping 32bit, which flavor do I need to get? Xubuntu? Lubuntu" Mint? | 19:28 |
| wxl | we have no intention of removing 32 bit, so use lubuntu | 19:29 |
| wxl | we are the ONLY flavour that focused on older machines, so we will be the last one to drop it | 19:29 |
| rivermonk | thanks for the reply. and is Lubuntu somehow "better" than Xubuntu (I have heard they are also not dropping 32bit)? | 19:31 |
| === absk123__ is now known as absk123 | ||
| wxl | well yeah totally better | 19:32 |
| wxl | in the same way that green is better than blue | 19:32 |
| wxl | (which is to say *I* think it's better, but i can't promise the same for you) | 19:32 |
| rivermonk | yeah, I figure it is apples and oranges. not sure how to make the decision | 19:33 |
| wxl | lubuntu is unique (objectively) in that we specifically target older models so we make decisions based on whether or not it remains lightweight | 19:33 |
| wxl | if you are not limited on resources, that may not be a need, but it can still be a benefit | 19:33 |
| wxl | both builds are inheriently lighter weight, but lubuntu is more constrained over all | 19:34 |
| wxl | for example, we don't include open office, but include abiword | 19:34 |
| wxl | frankly, i loathe abiword and it pales in comparison to libreoffice (sorry didn't mean to say open office) but requires more memory and disk space which is not a reasonable assumption for our target market | 19:35 |
| wxl | so when i install lubuntu, i install libreoffice. done. | 19:35 |
| rivermonk | not familiar with abiword. open/libreoffice is still available for download, right? my resource limits are not so much HDD space, as RAM (2GB max) and (presumable) bus speed | 19:36 |
| wxl | yes | 19:36 |
| wxl | and actually that's a fair amount of RAM | 19:36 |
| wxl | lubuntu can run on as little as 256MB | 19:36 |
| wxl | but again, a lighter weight footprint will allow you to do more | 19:37 |
| wxl | that said, i'd advise lubuntu | 19:37 |
| wxl | also, i really like it :) | 19:37 |
| wxl | i run it on a machine that i could easily run anything on. i don't NEED it. but it works well for me | 19:37 |
| wxl | i mean lubuntu doesn't have a bunch of desktop effects, but that doesn't really add to my productivity, so that's a simple "compromise" to make | 19:37 |
| rivermonk | may just have to give Lubuntu a try on a donated (previously MS Windows Vista-blechch) mini-laptop. I appreciate your opinion | 19:38 |
| wxl | no problem | 19:38 |
| wxl | feel free to come back here if you have any questions or concerns and we can help you sort them out | 19:38 |
| wxl | there's also the mailing list (see the topic) | 19:38 |
| rivermonk | with the next LTS coming out 18-04, will Lubuntu follow in a few months, ya think? | 19:38 |
| wxl | yes | 19:38 |
| wxl | Lubuntu (and Xubuntu and Kubuntu and all the other flavors provided by Canonical) *IS* Ubuntu, just modified. So we work on the same schedules | 19:39 |
| wxl | i.e. all those flavors some out at the same exact time | 19:39 |
| rivermonk | sweet. I'll give L a try. haven't heard about K, guess I'll try and research that flavor, as well | 19:40 |
| wxl | it's definitely heavier weight | 19:40 |
| wxl | waaaaaaay more feature rich, but you pay for it | 19:40 |
| wxl | you can think of it like this: regardless of your windows system, assuming they build for each version, you can run any software | 19:41 |
| wxl | but xp is definitely lighter than 10 | 19:41 |
| wxl | we're more like xp and kubuntu/ubuntu are more like 10 | 19:41 |
| wxl | the analogy fails in that xp is old whereas lubuntu is not. it's just simpler by design | 19:41 |
| rivermonk | yeah, I agree, I still miss the simplicity of XP... but not the networking difficulties | 19:41 |
| wxl | then i think you'll be very much at home with lubuntu | 19:42 |
| rivermonk | oic your point | 19:42 |
| wasabi | test | 21:10 |
| tsimonq2 | wasabi: test 1 2 | 21:10 |
| wasabi | newly installed Lubuntu on old machine and Abiword flashes like epilepsy | 21:15 |
| wasabi | 2 gb RAM on some weird 64bit single-core Intel | 21:16 |
| soundee | I have a problem with graphics drawing to button labels in praat speech analysis program | 21:24 |
| soundee | I guess you should see the screenshot. I am using lubuntu 16.04 with compton as a compositor. The problem occurs also without any compositor | 21:25 |
