| Mead | anyone here? | 01:30 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | no | 01:30 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> O.O | 01:33 |
| Mead | I'm having issue getting a network interface up and running, can anyone help me? | 02:16 |
| Mead | I've placed my ethernet interface's "method" as "shared to other computers" but it stays disconnected. | 02:18 |
| pZombie | hello friends | 03:23 |
| pZombie | i think i found a minor bug with the sound volume settings | 03:23 |
| pZombie | when you move the volume in firefox playing a youtube video for example, from full to zero and back, it does not actually set it back to 100% in the volume control under the playback tab -> firefox audiostream | 03:25 |
| pZombie | hm, strannge, this time it did | 03:25 |
| pZombie | but it is not always the case | 03:25 |
| pZombie | Also, what is the reason to use openbox as windows manager when jwm is much faster/snappier? What does openbox have that jwm does not? | 03:26 |
| pZombie | and to my surprise just works perfectly in combination with the standard lubuntu setup, simply by changing openbox to jwm in the according config file | 03:28 |
| pZombie | the volume thingy seems to be intended as it appears | 03:34 |
| pZombie | different videos get different volume settings for their audiostreams | 03:34 |

| zap0 | startup splash is taking for EVER! is there some way to see what is going on? | 14:51 |
| Thedarkb | I just mash keys until it disappears personally. | 14:51 |
| zap0 | 5 dots .. 4 lit.. it's been like 8 mins | 14:52 |
| Thedarkb | Sounds locked up. | 14:52 |
| zap0 | it's never taken this long to boot | 14:52 |
| Thedarkb | Any disk activity? | 14:52 |
| zap0 | does not sound like it. | 14:53 |
| Thedarkb | It's definitely locked up. | 14:53 |
| Thedarkb | Not much you can do | 14:53 |
| zap0 | hard reset. | 14:55 |
| zap0 | now it's not booting... instead i get a busybox command prompt | 14:56 |
| zap0 | wtf do i type now? | 14:56 |
| Thedarkb | busybox? | 14:58 |
| zap0 | yeah | 14:58 |
| zap0 | seems to be some recovery mode | 14:59 |
| zap0 | it's like ram-only OS | 15:00 |
| zap0 | looks like it thinks there is so issue with the HDD | 15:00 |
| Thedarkb | Are you sure it's not GRUB rescue or something? | 15:00 |
| zap0 | is some/ | 15:00 |
| Thedarkb | I didn't know Lubuntu had a busybox recovery thing. | 15:00 |
| zap0 | nor did i (until now!) | 15:00 |
| zap0 | i can do: cd /dev/ | 15:01 |
| zap0 | and there is a sda and sda1 in there | 15:01 |
| Thedarkb | Can you mount sda? | 15:01 |
| zap0 | is there some command i can run to verify/check that drive | 15:01 |
| Thedarkb | I don't know. | 15:06 |
| zap0 | now it keeps just going back to this busybox prompt :( | 15:26 |
| zap0 | how do i mount it? | 15:39 |
| Thedarkb | zap0, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/drive | 15:55 |
| zap0 | that did seem to work well... said something about a e??fsck utility that i shoudl run | 15:56 |
| zap0 | that's been running about 10mins... killing about 100 inodes a sec. | 15:57 |
| zap0 | still killing inodes | 16:48 |
| Thedarkb | I'm having trouble with timidity | 17:21 |
| wxl | i'd swim upstream to #ubuntu or ##linux on that one | 17:21 |
| wxl | or maybe even ping the ubuntu studio folks | 17:22 |
| wxl | there's probably a linux audio channel somewhere, too.. | 17:22 |
| Thedarkb | There's a post with the "solved" tag about the same problem but I can't access it because it's pre-2008 and the ubuntu forum admins are apparently dickheads. | 17:23 |
| wxl | that seems like a rather illogical conclusion and one i'm sure is founded on the fact that you failed to contact them? | 17:24 |
| Thedarkb | I need to make an account to see pre-2008 forum posts for the reason that "Hello, Unregistered You are browsing a READ ONLY archive of the main support categories pre 4/21/2008. You will not be able to post or reply any threads in this section. | 17:25 |
| Thedarkb | Be aware that information contained here may be outdated, and could cause irreparable damage to your install - read and follow these threads at your own risk. " | 17:25 |
| Thedarkb | You need an account to look at this dangerous information | 17:25 |
| wxl | so | 17:25 |
| wxl | get | 17:25 |
| wxl | an | 17:25 |
| wxl | account | 17:25 |
| wxl | seems hard, i know | 17:25 |
| Thedarkb | Fine | 17:26 |
| Thedarkb | It just bothers me. | 17:26 |
| wxl | yeah, well, that's a personal problem | 17:26 |
| Thedarkb | In the same way it bothered me when Firefox removed the checkbox to disable JS | 17:26 |
| ChunkzZ1 | Thedarkb: get a better system, stop using old crap. :) | 17:51 |
| Thedarkb | This machine here has a Core 2 Duo, so it's not THAT bad. | 17:51 |
| Thedarkb | My X40 I will concede is awful. | 17:52 |
| ChunkzZ1 | 256mb ram though... | 17:52 |
| Thedarkb | Client: HexChat 2.12.4 • OS: Ubuntu "artful" 17.10 • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz (1.60GHz) • Memory: Physical: 5.6 GiB Total (4.2 GiB Free) Swap: 1.9 GiB Total (1.9 GiB Free) • Storage: 124.3 GB / 161.0 GB (36.7 GB Free) • VGA: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller @ Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Contr | 17:52 |
| Thedarkb | oller Hub • Uptime: 1d 23h 45m 43s | 17:52 |
| Thedarkb | 6 gigs here. | 17:52 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | 256mb here | 17:52 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | The GPU takes a big chunk too. | 17:53 |
| ChunkzZ1 | Lol. | 17:53 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I'm waiting on some brand new PC2700 RAM from China. | 17:53 |
| ChunkzZ1 | Yeah, 256mb is simply not enough. | 17:54 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Honestly the CPU is the biggest bottleneck. | 17:54 |
| ChunkzZ1 | I have 2gb ram on a £40 system. | 17:54 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I don't use LXDE, so I usually have ~200mb free at idle. | 17:55 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I use Openbox+fbpanel | 17:55 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | This was €5.50 on ebay. | 17:55 |
| ChunkzZ1 | Why are you here then? | 17:56 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Still says Lubuntu on my splash screen. | 17:57 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | LXDE has gotten a little bit bloated. | 17:57 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | at idle on LXDE, there's only 90mb free. | 17:57 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> @Thedarkb-X40, That's because you only have 256 MB of RAM 😜 | 19:08 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | It's enough. | 19:09 |
| wxl | yes, well, it's enough to survive on bread and water, too | 19:10 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | it's enough for my own particular use case* | 19:11 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> My point is, don't idly say it's bloated 😜 | 19:13 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I just think it uses too much RAM for what it is. | 19:13 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> That's your opinion, and it's not particularly constructive. | 19:13 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | fbpanel has very similar functionality to LXPanel but it uses 1/3rd the RAM. | 19:13 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Fair enough. | 19:13 |
| vegombrei | hi, im new to lubuntu, how do i get it to read external drives if they are ntfs partition? is there a software i could sudo apt-get so that i would be able to read ntfs ? | 19:53 |
| Thedarkb | You should be able to read it as it is. | 19:53 |
| wxl | !ntfs | 19:54 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 19:54 |
| wxl | !ntfs-3g | 19:55 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 19:55 |
| wxl | "The ntfs-3g driver is pre-installed in all recent versions of Ubuntu and healthy NTFS devices should work out of the box without further configuration" | 19:57 |
| * vegombrei turns out the hdd is busted :( | 20:04 | |
| wxl | as i've said many times before: linux can do a lot of things, but it can't fix broken | 20:04 |
| wxl | you might be able to use dd to get some data off of it but if the read head has dived into the platter, you probably won't have a lot of luck | 20:07 |
| Thedarkb | vegombrei, Busted in what way? | 20:10 |
| Thedarkb | Is it doing the clicking thing when you plug it in? | 20:11 |
