| malonumas | Hi! | 10:48 |
| mr-day | is lubuntu have gui setting for battery alarm when critical | 15:28 |
| tomasino | happy saturday, folks -- I'm about to try installing lubuntu on a late 2008 aluminum macbook. Any advice before I start? | 17:46 |
| antis | best of luck :) | 17:53 |
| tomasino | thanks | 17:53 |
| wxl | tomasino: intel chip, right? | 17:54 |
| antis | having running lubuntu on late 2007 plastic macbook - runs pretty good. if you don't get the booloader (grub) up, try the "refind" boot manager - i installed it on a usb-stick for test and on disk later on. | 17:55 |
| antis | wxl, since 2006 yes | 17:57 |
| wxl | tomasino: in that case ^ make sure you use amd64 | 17:57 |
| tomasino | fantastic advice. thank you | 17:59 |
| Nightly | hello | 18:37 |
| tomasino | refine is the best advice. thanks so much for that. I've got it running | 18:51 |
| tomasino | aaaaand it's not detecting the wireless card, of course | 18:54 |
| tomasino | why is that always the challenge? :) | 18:54 |
| agaida | because of nice people with non-free licenses and firmware | 19:13 |
| agaida | as usual | 19:13 |
| wxl | x | 19:34 |
| tsimonq2 | y | 19:37 |
| antis | is this how they communicate at alphabet? ^^ | 19:38 |
| agaida | tomasino: in such rare cases a wifi-cable is handy https://y.5id.eu/t | 19:40 |
| * agaida hide | 19:41 | |
| tsimonq2 | antis: Maybe :P | 19:48 |
| tsimonq2 | agaida: lol | 19:48 |
| agaida | tsimonq2: not my idea - just reality | 19:49 |
| antis | tomasino, you could get a good overview via the "nmcli" command - unfortunately it is somewhat hidden in lubuntu and part of the nm-applet network management toolchain… :) | 19:50 |
| antis | tomasino, you could further check and install proprietary drivers via "settings -> software & updates -> additional drivers" and/or find the chip information (presumingly broadcom) and add the vendor id to some configuration file in /etc/… (i don't remember exactly, sorry) | 20:05 |
| antis | ah and almost forgot -> "pommed" is a very important thing as well :) | 20:06 |
| antis | found some good reference for the wifi problem: https://wiki.debian.org/MacBook/Wireless | 20:10 |
| nano | i need to icon pack | 21:16 |
| tomasino | thanks antis and agaida. I have everything working well. I just had to install the broadcom drivers like usual. This laptop has an ethernet port, luckily, so thath was just a couple minutes worth of work. | 21:23 |
| tomasino | I'm doing a dist upgrade now but everything looks fully functional and it performs fantastically well for a 9 year old machine | 21:23 |
| tomasino | this is my first time experimenting with lubuntu and so far it's great. I'm normally on Mint with i3, but I'll keep this distro in mind for older hardware. | 21:23 |
| agaida | intel macs are not really old or outdated - thats the nice thing about apple | 21:25 |
| agaida | they was delievered with all the needed things in good quality and quantity | 21:26 |
| tomasino | if it wasn't for their software | 21:46 |
| agaida | the only infamous thing with apple and pc hardware was their usage of ATi cards or chips if i remember right | 21:52 |
| agaida | back in 2009 i had to learn patch, debuild and such things first to get my ATi 4950 running with ubuntu | 21:53 |
| agaida | hihihi - the bug(s) with the patch from an amd employee are still open in launchpad | 21:55 |
| Other | to connect to lubuntu, from a windows 7 machine, I read I should use Xrdp. But I get nothing but a xwindows login then an empty desktop. Is Xrdp the way to go? | 23:21 |
| demophobia | what do you mean 'connect to lubuntu'? | 23:22 |
| Other | a remote desktop | 23:22 |
| demophobia | ah, thanks. i can't help with your question. | 23:23 |
