[01:30] anyone here? [01:30] no [01:33] O.O [02:16] I'm having issue getting a network interface up and running, can anyone help me? [02:18] I've placed my ethernet interface's "method" as "shared to other computers" but it stays disconnected. [03:23] hello friends [03:23] i think i found a minor bug with the sound volume settings [03:25] 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] hm, strannge, this time it did [03:25] but it is not always the case [03:26] 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? [03:28] 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 [03:34] the volume thingy seems to be intended as it appears [03:34] different videos get different volume settings for their audiostreams === Mead is now known as mead [14:51] startup splash is taking for EVER! is there some way to see what is going on? [14:51] I just mash keys until it disappears personally. [14:52] 5 dots .. 4 lit.. it's been like 8 mins [14:52] Sounds locked up. [14:52] it's never taken this long to boot [14:52] Any disk activity? [14:53] does not sound like it. [14:53] It's definitely locked up. [14:53] Not much you can do [14:55] hard reset. [14:56] now it's not booting... instead i get a busybox command prompt [14:56] wtf do i type now? [14:58] busybox? [14:58] yeah [14:59] seems to be some recovery mode [15:00] it's like ram-only OS [15:00] looks like it thinks there is so issue with the HDD [15:00] Are you sure it's not GRUB rescue or something? [15:00] is some/ [15:00] I didn't know Lubuntu had a busybox recovery thing. [15:00] nor did i (until now!) [15:01] i can do: cd /dev/ [15:01] and there is a sda and sda1 in there [15:01] Can you mount sda? [15:01] is there some command i can run to verify/check that drive [15:06] I don't know. [15:26] now it keeps just going back to this busybox prompt :( [15:39] how do i mount it? [15:55] zap0, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/drive [15:56] that did seem to work well... said something about a e??fsck utility that i shoudl run [15:57] that's been running about 10mins... killing about 100 inodes a sec. [16:48] still killing inodes [17:21] I'm having trouble with timidity [17:21] i'd swim upstream to #ubuntu or ##linux on that one [17:22] or maybe even ping the ubuntu studio folks [17:22] there's probably a linux audio channel somewhere, too.. [17:23] 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. [17:24] that seems like a rather illogical conclusion and one i'm sure is founded on the fact that you failed to contact them? [17:25] 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] 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] You need an account to look at this dangerous information [17:25] so [17:25] get [17:25] an [17:25] account [17:25] seems hard, i know [17:26] Fine [17:26] It just bothers me. [17:26] yeah, well, that's a personal problem [17:26] In the same way it bothered me when Firefox removed the checkbox to disable JS [17:51] Thedarkb: get a better system, stop using old crap. :) [17:51] This machine here has a Core 2 Duo, so it's not THAT bad. [17:52] My X40 I will concede is awful. [17:52] 256mb ram though... [17:52] 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] oller Hub • Uptime: 1d 23h 45m 43s [17:52] 6 gigs here. [17:52] 256mb here [17:53] The GPU takes a big chunk too. [17:53] Lol. [17:53] I'm waiting on some brand new PC2700 RAM from China. [17:54] Yeah, 256mb is simply not enough. [17:54] Honestly the CPU is the biggest bottleneck. [17:54] I have 2gb ram on a £40 system. [17:55] I don't use LXDE, so I usually have ~200mb free at idle. [17:55] I use Openbox+fbpanel [17:55] This was €5.50 on ebay. [17:56] Why are you here then? [17:57] Still says Lubuntu on my splash screen. [17:57] LXDE has gotten a little bit bloated. [17:57] at idle on LXDE, there's only 90mb free. [19:08] @Thedarkb-X40, That's because you only have 256 MB of RAM 😜 [19:09] It's enough. [19:10] yes, well, it's enough to survive on bread and water, too [19:11] it's enough for my own particular use case* [19:13] My point is, don't idly say it's bloated 😜 [19:13] I just think it uses too much RAM for what it is. [19:13] That's your opinion, and it's not particularly constructive. [19:13] fbpanel has very similar functionality to LXPanel but it uses 1/3rd the RAM. [19:13] Fair enough. [19:53] 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] You should be able to read it as it is. [19:54] !ntfs [19:54] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [19:55] !ntfs-3g [19:55] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [19:57] "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" [20:04] * vegombrei turns out the hdd is busted :( [20:04] as i've said many times before: linux can do a lot of things, but it can't fix broken [20:07] 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 [20:10] vegombrei, Busted in what way? [20:11] Is it doing the clicking thing when you plug it in? === Thedarkb1 is now known as Thedarkb
