[03:27] <Slayback> hi how do i open a .i386 file in lubuntu, its warsow..i386 and when i click it it asks me what kind of program i want to open it with and its the lubuntu meny thats the list of programs i can choose, like System tools, Preferences, games, internet, office, etc etc.... wth ??
[03:27] <holstein> Slayback: what are you trying to do?
[03:27] <Slayback> ive tried to open in terminal too ./warsow and it says Permission denied
[03:28] <Slayback> im trying to open the game
[03:28] <holstein> open?.. you want to run a game? or install it?.. is it for linux?
[03:29] <holstein> i would refer to http://www.warsow.net/download/ubuntu_precise Slayback
[03:29] <Slayback> ive already installed it, its Warsow
[03:29] <Slayback> i have already done everything that says on that site
[03:29] <holstein> Slayback: i dont think so
[03:30] <holstein> Slayback: one thing it says is playdeb.net.. you dont want to add those sources?
[03:30] <Slayback> i just said . "ive tried to open in terminal too ./warsow and it says Permission denied"
[03:30] <Slayback> playdeb.net link is down thats why i installed it in terminal
[03:31] <holstein> Slayback: OK.. you have done something incorrectly.. would you like to work with me or one of the other volunteers here to determine where the issue is?
[03:32] <Slayback> yes
[03:32] <Slayback> i would like
[03:32] <holstein> i might just start over.. rm what you have and start over with me
[03:33] <holstein> so, open a terminal and mkdir something we can work from
[03:33] <holstein> maybe ~/warsow .. or ~/games/warsow
[03:34] <holstein> let me know when you are cd'd into the dirctory
[03:34] <Slayback> ive done everything that says on http://www.warsow.net/download/ubuntu_precise and the the terminal says ./warsow: 54: exec: ./warsow.i386: Permission denied
[03:34] <Slayback> i have inside warsow
[03:34] <holstein> Slayback: cool.. i would prefer starting over
[03:34] <holstein> Slayback: if you want to try running that as root, go ahead
[03:34] <holstein> Slayback: you can also check the persmission and
[03:34] <holstein> !chown
[03:34] <ubottu> An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[03:34] <holstein> !chmod
[03:34] <Slayback> ive tried sudo too
[03:35] <holstein> Slayback: you want to contact the project maintainer then?
[03:35] <holstein> otherwise, we can walk through the steps again and i might see what the issue is
[03:36] <Slayback> i dont know how to contact project maintainer
[03:36] <holstein> Slayback: sometimes, i prefer using the entire path
[03:36] <holstein> Slayback: ~/Download/whatever/warsow/or/whatever
[03:36] <holstein> instead of ./warsow
[03:37] <Slayback> i have also went on File properties and maked the warsow.i386 file executable, and when i click it a popup comes up and asks 3 option, Execute, execute in terminal, or Cancel, and when i press execute nothing happens
[03:37] <holstein> Slayback: i dont think there is any doubt there is an issue
[03:38] <Slayback> why in Downloads? its nothing in there
[03:38] <holstein> Slayback: i would like to start at the beginning.. re-download
[03:38] <holstein> Slayback: im suggesting you complete the entire path instead of ./warso
[03:38] <Slayback> what do you mean?
[03:38] <holstein> Slayback: that that could be the error.. you are not cd'd into the correct directory
[03:38] <holstein> Slayback: thats why i suggested using the complet path
[03:38] <Slayback> i am, kristoffer@DIXONSXP:~/warsow_1.02$
[03:39] <holstein> Slayback: the path i gave with "Download" in it was an example only
[03:39] <holstein> Slayback: cool... i would complete the entire path to the fiel
[03:39] <holstein> file*
[03:39] <Slayback> what do u mean complete the entire path?
[03:39] <holstein> Slayback: the path to ./warsow
[03:40] <Slayback> i dont understand?
[03:40] <holstein> instead of running ./warsow
[03:40] <holstein> run /path/to/warsow
[03:40] <Slayback> bash: /path/to/warsow: No such file or directory
[03:40] <holstein>  /home/kristoffer/warsow/wahtever
[03:40] <holstein> Slayback: correct
[03:40] <holstein> Slayback: i *dont* know the path
[03:40] <holstein> Slayback: you do
[03:40] <Slayback> what is a path?
[03:40] <holstein> Slayback: i am making sample paths
[03:41] <holstein> Slayback: the path to .warsow.. the file you are trying to run
[03:41] <Slayback> ./warsow.i386: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[03:41] <holstein>  /home/kristoff/warsow_1.02/warsow ...or whatever it is
[03:41] <Slayback> that file?
[03:42] <holstein> Slayback: whatever file you are trying to run that is not running
[03:42] <Slayback> i dont know???
[03:42] <holstein> Slayback: open a terminal
[03:42] <Slayback> ok
[03:42] <holstein> type /home/
[03:43] <holstein> then hit tab a few times
[03:43] <holstein> that will give you options
[03:43] <Slayback> bash: /home/: Is a directory
[03:43] <holstein> i can cd to a directory and try running ./warsow ... OR, i can use the entire path/to/the/file
[03:43] <Slayback> i get that when i write /home/
[03:44] <holstein> Slayback: yes.. its a directory. and under that *somewhere* is the warsow
[03:44] <holstein> Slayback: if you would start over with me, i would know the path
[03:44] <Slayback> yeah. should i cd home?
[03:44] <holstein> and any errors
[03:44] <Slayback> the path is warsow.i386
[03:45] <holstein> Slayback: are you going to be here for a bit?
[03:45] <Slayback> yeah
[03:45] <holstein> Slayback: i dont want to download this silly game and get in installed and come back here and you're gone
[03:45] <Slayback> no i will be here
[03:45] <holstein> Slayback: please give me 5 minutes
[03:45] <Slayback> apriciate it
[03:46] <Slayback> i
[03:46] <Slayback> ok
[03:51] <holstein> Slayback: you dont want the server, correct?
[03:51] <Slayback> what do u mean?
[03:51] <Slayback> what server?
[03:52] <holstein> Slayback: there is a server and a client for warsow.. you are trying to install the client, correct?
[03:52] <Slayback> yeah
[03:52] <holstein> http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-12.04/getdeb-games-i386/warsow_1.02-1~getdeb1_i386.deb.html
[03:52] <holstein> actually.. http://pkgs.org/download/warsow
[03:52] <holstein> Slayback: and just grab what is relevant
[03:52] <holstein> you can use gdebi or the terminal to install it
[03:54] <Slayback> i open it in gdebi and it says        Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: warsow-data (>= 1.02)
[03:55] <holstein> http://pkgs.org/download/warsow-data
[03:56] <Slayback> what there? ive already ben there and i pressed that download and downloaded it??
[03:57] <Slayback> should i install it in terminal like that says on the  Install Howto instead?
[03:57] <holstein> Slayback: i would install warsow-data in gdebi ...or try
[03:58] <Slayback> in gdebi? how?
[03:58] <Slayback> do u mean the warsow_1.02-1~getdeb1_i386.deb file?
[03:58] <holstein> Slayback: the same way you did the warow one that gave you the error that you need warsow-data
[03:59] <holstein> you needed warsow-data. there it is
[03:59] <Slayback> ok but where is that warsow-data file?
[03:59] <Slayback> the file that gets downloaded from that site is warsow_1.02-1~getdeb1_i386.deb
[04:00] <holstein> from http://pkgs.org/download/warsow-data
[04:00] <holstein> this one, though looking quite similar, has a different file named "warsow-data" which i think you will need
[04:00] <Slayback> yeah from that link the warsow_1.02-1~getdeb1_i386.deb  is downloaded, cant fint warsow-data file

[10:17] <deitarion> I'm trying to set up an old Acer TravelMate 250 laptop for someone and it's not seeing the internal WiFi. The data I've found on the series says "on select models" but I'm not sure if they'd be stupid enough to put an RFKill button on a laptop with no WiFi.
[10:18] <deitarion> Any tips for getting more info?
[10:55] <intore> good morning. this is the first time in #lubuntu. I have a netbook asus eeepc and i installed lubuntu. I've got little problems with the keyboard. The first one is that i can mute the volume but not the reverse. The second one trying to increase the screen brightness happens that the screen turns black and wakes up the next press. It is also not regular because the maximum brightness is not on the last pressure. Could you help me please?

[17:45] <tsimpson> why are you trying to remove it?
[17:46] <searching> I upgraded xserver-xorg-video-intel
[17:47] <tsimpson> and?
[17:47] <tsimpson> xserver-xorg-video-intel depends on libdrm-intel1 from what I can see
[17:47] <searching>  libdrm-intel1                       2.4.26-1ubuntu1
[17:48] <searching> depends on plymount
[17:48] <searching> xserver-xorg-video-intel I can autoremove
[17:48] <searching> and update
[17:48] <tsimpson> but why do you need to remove it to update it?
[17:48] <searching> but libdrm no
[17:49] <searching> sometime hang
[17:49] <searching> in firefox
[17:49] <searching> or in lxterminal
[17:49] <tsimpson> no, I'm asking why you need to remove the package if all you want to do is update it?
[17:49] <searching> typeing and hang for a little time
[17:50] <searching> may be libdrm is old
[17:51] <tsimpson> you should not have to remove the package to update it

[17:52] <searching> xserver-xorg-video-intel
[17:52] <searching> is update
[17:52] <searching> libdrm-intel1
[17:52] <searching> is not update
[17:53] <tsimpson> well you don't want to autoremove libdrm*, you'll probably take your entire system with it
[17:53] <searching> http://postimage.org/image/nbeqhp82z/
[17:53] <searching> that happen in firefox
[17:54] <searching> lxpanelctl restart 4 or 5 times
[17:54] <searching> and after it`s ok
[17:54] <searching> what to edit or install/reinstall

[17:56] <searching> if it is happens affect pidgin or xchat
[17:56] <searching> help me update libdrm-intel1
[17:57] <searching> xchat change color

[19:19] <superbbb> hi
[19:19] <superbbb> i've a problem
[19:20] <superbbb> i can't setup lubuntu on acer 3634 wlmi
[19:51] <leszek> hi
[19:52] <superbbb> hi
[19:52] <superbbb> can you help me leszek?
[19:52] <leszek> superbbb: depends on what your problem is ;)
[19:54] <superbbb> qith the sys driver
[19:54] <superbbb> w
[19:54] <leszek> sys driver ?
[19:55] <superbbb> yes sys video driver
[19:55] <leszek> sis video driver you mean ?
[19:56] <superbbb> yes
[19:56] <leszek> superbbb: ist there even an sis driver available ?
[19:57] <superbbb> i've a problem with the installation
[19:57] <superbbb> doesn't start
[19:57] <leszek> ah there is one
[19:57] <leszek> installation of lubuntu ?
[19:58] <superbbb> yes
[19:59] <superbbb> it's old my acer
[20:00] <superbbb> and in the acer 3634wlmi there's not a hd, i use 2 usb
[20:12] <leszek> superbbb: did you try to boot in failsafe mode ?
[20:13] <superbbb> failsafe ?
[20:13] <superbbb> what is?
[20:14] <superbbb> i'm italian
[20:14] <superbbb> what is failsafe?
[20:14] <leszek> failsafe mode allows you to boot with a vesa graphics driver, apci and apm turned off and so on
[20:15] <leszek> so its a boot option which you can choose as a fallback when normal boot fails
[20:16] <superbbb> listen leszeck, the boot it's ok, when i start the install or live the screen flicks
[20:17] <leszek> so whats your problem in details then ? It starts to a live environment and then you click install right ?
[20:20] <superbbb> i want to install lubu in acer 3634 wlmi without internal hd, so i use usb, but when i click on install or live lubu, after the screen flicks
[20:20] <superbbb> understand now?
[20:21] <superbbb> here there 's my problem
[20:21] <superbbb> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/1034812/
[20:21] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1034812 in xserver-xorg-video-sis (Ubuntu) "SiS video driver circles round login screen" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[20:30] <leszek> superbbb: so just like I said try booting with the failsafe mode which uses vesa graphics and that should not have such a problem
[20:31] <superbbb> how can i do?
[20:31] <superbbb> there's a guide?
[20:32] <leszek> I made an screencast on this
[20:32] <leszek> but you could simply hit f6 on the bootmanager
[20:33] <leszek> superbbb: here you can find a video. Most of it applies still today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1bZ5z-L3Q
[21:19] <tre> Does anyone know how to change theme in Lubuntu via terminal (not using lxappearance)?
[23:40] <mistaknly> What kernal do I install?
[23:40] <mistaknly> 12.10 alternate
[23:41] <mistaknly> linux-generic, linux-image-generic, linux-image-extra-3.5.0-17-generic, linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic
[23:41] <genii-around> linux-image-generic
[23:42] <Amgine> "extra generic" sounds fun.
[23:42] <mistaknly> thx, where do I find the info about the differences?  I searched for a while now...
[23:43] <Unit193> Two are metapackages.
[23:44] <mistaknly> jeez, I'm so old I don't know what a metapackage is, sorry.  Damn, I didn't use to be a newb....;>
[23:44] <genii-around> The linux-image-generic    type named ones are just convenience to always have the latest kernel when you do dist-upgrade. The specifically numbered ones are the actual ones it would point to. The -extra package is same idea, excpet it contains additional kernel drivers, many of which are proprietary
[23:45] <mistaknly> so i picked like you said and just installing the base drivers for the system (not all) and it used some of the other kernals as part of the deal....(metapackages??)
[23:46] <Unit193> !metapackage
[23:46] <ubottu> A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions.
[23:46] <Unit193> :D
[23:46] <mistaknly> I also had to set hdparm since the cd kept failing.  None of this is in the basic install instructions
[23:47] <mistaknly> k
[23:47] <Unit193> Hrm, that's fun.  Are you using the mini.iso?
[23:47] <Unit193> Alternate doesn't normally ask for kernel.
[23:48] <mistaknly> i386 alternate, but I had a failure do to the cd not picking stuff up
[23:48] <mistaknly> So I had to put in hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1
[23:48] <mistaknly> Now it works
[23:50] <mistaknly> It's not like a movie where it "don't" care about a couple of wrong bits.
[23:50] <mistaknly> I'm using cdrw 4x
[23:56] <mistaknly> thx genii and Unit
[23:56] <Unit193> Sure, but I didn't help much. :)
[23:57] <mistaknly> moral support is important too...
