| [07:15] <mysteriousdarren> joe_994: what kind of graphics card do you have? integrated? | |
| [07:16] <joe__994> nvidia nv17 | |
| [07:17] <mysteriousdarren> did you update the driver? | |
| [07:17] <joe__994> NVIDIA Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] (rev a3) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) | |
| [07:18] <joe__994> shouldn't the os do it automaticaly? | |
| [07:19] <mysteriousdarren> nope, it will have some basic drivers, but your gonna have to change from there. | |
| [07:19] <joe__994> oh i see, ok mate, thank you, i'll try to google it, if no luck i'll come back to you :) | |
| [07:20] <Unit193> "Additional Drivers" from the menu, but I have had to generate an xorg.conf before, bad chip for me. | |
| [07:20] <mysteriousdarren> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-304.43-driver.html | |

| [07:21] <mysteriousdarren> yup happy to help | |
| [10:21] <n150p> Hi everyone, can you tell me how to disable the guest account login? I'm using Lubuntu 12.04 "out of the box" | |
| [10:23] <bioterror> n150p, edit lightdm.conf | |
| [10:23] <bioterror> and disable it | |
| [10:25] <n150p> i see no option to disable. it's only 4 lines: | |
| [10:25] <n150p> [SeatDefaults] | |
| [10:25] <n150p> greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter | |
| [10:25] <n150p> user-session=Lubuntu | |
| [10:25] <n150p> xft-dpi=144 | |
| [10:26] <bioterror> allow-guest=false | |
| [10:26] <n150p> but I think now that you told me that I'm using lightdm (which I did not know) ... i could probably google it | |
| [10:26] <n150p> oh, thanks | |
| [10:26] <n150p> i'll try that | |
| [10:27] <n150p> brb | |
| [10:33] <n150p> bioterror, thanks. works perfectly. | |
| [10:34] <bioterror> np | |
| [10:38] <bioterror> hi mariob | |
| [11:27] <faLUCE> hi. is it possible to install (x/k/l)ubuntu on zelig pad 700 ? | |
| [12:22] <faLUCE> hi. Is it possible to install (k/l/x)ubuntu on a zelig pad 700 ? | |
| [12:23] <smartboyhw> faLUCE: Is that an ARM device? | |
| [12:24] <faLUCE> smartboyhw arm cortex 1 ghz | |
| [12:25] <smartboyhw> OK, I think Lubuntu just introduced an ARM image | |
| [12:25] <smartboyhw> However it is unstable since it is 12.10 I think | |
| [12:26] <smartboyhw> May be | |
| [12:26] <smartboyhw> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-preinstalled/20120905/quantal-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+ac100.tar.gz | |
| [12:26] <smartboyhw> Download it | |
| [12:26] <faLUCE> smartboyhw: which version is it? | |
| [12:26] <smartboyhw> And then https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OmapNetbook | |
| [12:26] <smartboyhw> faLUCE, 12.10 | |
| [12:26] <smartboyhw> Beta 1 | |
| [12:27] <faLUCE> smartboyhw: but what about the touchscreen? | |
| [12:29] <smartboyhw> Touchscreen oh | |
| [12:29] <smartboyhw> Then I don't know:) | |
| [12:30] <faLUCE> anyway, thanks for the other tips | |
| [15:52] <lucaaa> ho appena installato lubuntu, al riavvio tutto funziona però ho provato a fare gli aggiornamenti senza riuscirci e al riavvio non funziona più nè il mouse ne la rete wifi | |
| [15:52] <lucaaa> qualcuno può aiutarmi?? :D | |

| [18:00] <joe__462> hey guys | |
| [18:02] <joe__462> after running 'apt-get install nvidia-current', i got my desktop resolution absulutly currepted | |
| [18:03] <joe__462> so i've uninstalled it but i can't get the original lubuntu driver setup going | |
| [18:04] <joe__462> can anyone help me on how to restore my original ubuntu 12.04 video and sound driver settings? | |
| [18:05] <joe__462> oh yeah, for some reason after running the nvidia update, i lost the sound ablilities as weel | |
| [18:06] <silverarrow> sound driver should be easy | |
| [18:07] <silverarrow> I think you can switch drivers in alsamixedr | |
| [18:07] <silverarrow> alsamixer | |
| [18:08] <silverarrow> joe__462, resolution is usually about config though? | |
| [18:08] <joe__462> yeah, i've played around with alsamixer before to get the sound going but the thing i don't understand is why nvidia update messed up the sound.. | |
| [18:08] <silverarrow> not sure either, cause it should not | |
| [18:10] <silverarrow> however the regular procedure for sound is: right click loudspeaker icon on the task bar | |
| [18:10] <joe__462> yeah but it's all gray, i can't use the bars | |
| [18:10] <silverarrow> it should be unmuted | |
| [18:11] <silverarrow> oh | |
| [18:11] <silverarrow> weird | |
| [18:11] <silverarrow> is it a fresh install? | |
| [18:11] <silverarrow> does alsamixer launch in terminal? | |
| [18:12] <joe__462> yeah | |
| [18:12] <silverarrow> and all parameters are on, or high levels ? | |
| [18:12] <joe__462> no it's a gui one thing, donno i've installed all sorts of alsa stuff before to get it going ;) | |
| [18:13] <silverarrow> I have had alsamixer settings suddenly go off for weird reasons though | |
| [18:14] <silverarrow> like update, or package install | |
| [18:14] <joe__462> yeah, i know... but to be honest, i'm more bothered with the display settings at the moment | |
| [18:14] <silverarrow> I`m just suggesting a double check | |
| [18:14] <joe__462> thanks silver | |
| [18:14] <silverarrow> and you have tried monitor settings? | |
| [18:15] <joe__462> monitor settings first does not detect my monitor, and second the max resulution i get is 640x480 60 refresh rate | |
| [18:16] <joe__462> and i'm using 19 inch monitor how bad could it get ;) | |
| [18:16] <silverarrow> unusually low, unless it is a very old computer | |
| [18:16] <silverarrow> you need one of the clever guys | |
| [18:17] <joe__462> it is quite old, but everything seems to work fine before i ran 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' | |
| [18:17] <joe__462> hehe silver, that's a good one ;) | |
| [18:17] <silverarrow> someone on the Ubuntu channel should be able to help, at least of there is low activity here | |
| [18:17] <silverarrow> hmm, let me check | |
| [18:18] <joe__462> thanks mate, that's very nice of you | |
| [18:19] <silverarrow> what are the graphics packages called? | |
| [18:20] <silverarrow> ASCII ? | |
| [18:20] <joe__462> well my wife and i need to get ready and go to the movies :) | |
| [18:21] <joe__462> we gonna watch 'possession' | |
| [18:21] <joe__462> so i'll be back later | |
| [18:21] <silverarrow> xorg core | |
| [18:21] <joe__462> thank for all the help silver and i'll see you later | |
| [18:21] <silverarrow> not much help though | |
| [18:22] <silverarrow> joe__462, if you post on the ubuntu forum, there is usually every quick replies | |
| [18:22] <silverarrow> withing three minutes | |
| [18:49] <IboS> hello | |
| [18:49] <IboS> here a fact | |
| [18:50] <IboS> i'm connecting with ssh on a lubuntu desktop machine | |
| [18:50] <IboS> this machine is on login screen | |
| [18:50] <IboS> when i want via ssh launch the cmd alsamixer i can't | |
| [18:51] <IboS> is there a way to launch alsa at boot before login ? | |
| [18:51] <IboS> and have sound by the way | |
| [18:58] <silverarrow> not shure | |
| [18:58] <silverarrow> can`t you just launch alsa in terminal like usual ? | |
| [19:01] <IboS> silverarrow: how to do that? | |
| [19:01] <IboS> sudo service alsa start ? | |
| [19:01] <silverarrow> just open terminal and write alsamixer | |
| [19:01] <silverarrow> menu-accessories-LXterminal | |
| [19:02] <silverarrow> it launches alsamixer and it can easily be adjusted | |
| [19:02] <silverarrow> you don`t need sudo or any commands | |
| [19:03] <silverarrow> you maneuver it with arrows sideways and up-down | |
| [19:03] <silverarrow> and F-keys | |
| [19:03] <IboS> well i'm on ssh | |
| [19:03] <IboS> i sshed to the machine | |
| [19:03] <silverarrow> oh, | |
| [19:03] <IboS> the actual state of the machine : login screen | |
| [19:04] <bioterror> alsamixer can be run from ssh session | |
| [19:04] <bioterror> should not be a problem | |
| [19:04] <bioterror> as I have done it too many times on different computers | |
| [19:04] <silverarrow> as long as you get the terminal windows | |
| [19:05] <IboS> well it says can't open no such file or directory i can solve the problem by manually login on the machine but i want it different :) | |
| [19:05] <IboS> on previous version of lubuntu it worked pretty fine | |
| [19:08] <IboS> well | |
| [19:09] <IboS> i learnt that at login a sound device is created | |
| [19:09] <IboS> how to create it before then ? | |
| [19:11] <bioterror> what? | |
| [19:11] <bioterror> alsa is loaded on boot | |
| [19:14] <wxl> i just did grep alsa on every log i have and everything i get is terminations not startups | |
| [19:14] <wxl> it would make sense though that alsa would be started on a per-user basis, i.e. at login, rather that on boot | |
| [19:15] <wxl> honetly this might be a question better answered by #alsa | |
| [19:43] <gomiboy> it's pulseaudio that has a per user daemon, not alsa, just saying... | |
| [21:14] <TheLordOfTime> is Lubuntu better for a low-RAM, low-power HP Mini 110 netbook that is at least 3 years old? | |
| [21:14] <TheLordOfTime> better than Ubuntu or Xubuntu | |
| [21:14] <TheLordOfTime> (Kubuntu's not an option :P) | |
| [21:15] <Unit193> Kubuntu is actually more of an option than Ubuntu is, as far as ram usage and CPU. | |
| [21:15] <Unit193> And depends on the specs. | |
| [21:15] <TheLordOfTime> Unit193: well, i'm kinda in "Panic" mode atm... | |
| [21:16] <TheLordOfTime> given the fact the main linux fubar'd itself on that system | |
| [21:16] <TheLordOfTime> give me a minute | |
| [21:16] <Unit193> Soo.... Install it and findout then? | |
| [21:16] <TheLordOfTime> *digs around for his specs on that machine* | |
| [21:16] <TheLordOfTime> Unit193: Bandwidth limits | |
| [21:16] <TheLordOfTime> can't go downloading each version and testing | |
| [21:16] <TheLordOfTime> (Kubuntu's not an option, the netbook can't handle the graphics) | |
| [21:17] <TheLordOfTime> (tried back in Natty) | |
| [21:17] <Unit193> And it can with Unity? Lubuntu is ligher than Xubuntu, so ther is that. | |
| [21:17] <TheLordOfTime> Unity runs, a tad sluggishly though | |
| [21:17] <TheLordOfTime> i put Ubuntu 11.04 on here because that's the LiveUSB I had around at the time | |
| [21:17] <TheLordOfTime> but now its purge-and-install-new time, so... | |
| [21:18] <TheLordOfTime> but yeah, lemme dig up the specs | |
| [21:18] <TheLordOfTime> they're stored on at least *one* of my fileservers here... :p | |
| [21:20] <Unit193> Right, well it's a tad sluggish on 500MHz, but using 227M of 512 (stuff open) | |
| [21:23] <TheLordOfTime> its got 2008MB RAM, an Intel Atom N270 processor, an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (using shared memory, up to 128MB), and has a 160GB hard drive. | |
| [21:23] <TheLordOfTime> i upgraded the ram from 1GB, apparently it takes some RAM to the graphics) | |
| [21:27] <TheLordOfTime> i'll try Lubuntu, i'm quite tired of Unity :P | |
| [21:27] <TheLordOfTime> of course, i could always to a netinst :P | |
| [21:27] <TheLordOfTime> but that takes longerish | |

| [22:35] <W4sp> eeeeeee | |
| [22:37] <TheLordOfTime> Unit193: loadtime is SOO MUCH FASTER with Lubuntu on this machine | |
| [22:37] <TheLordOfTime> :P | |
| [22:37] <W4sp> Sorry, that wasn't intended as you may have guessed already. | |
| [22:37] <TheLordOfTime> :P | |
| [22:37] <TheLordOfTime> W4sp: stuff happens :P | |
| [22:37] <Unit193> W4sp: I had to resist saying "I'm not cleaning that up." | |
| [22:38] <Unit193> TheLordOfTime: As it should be. | |
| [22:38] <W4sp> I didn't fell asleep though. | |
| [22:38] <TheLordOfTime> Unit193: lol @ resisting. and it is indeed much faster on this netbook | |
| [22:38] <TheLordOfTime> MUCH MORE RAM IS FREE | |
| [22:38] <TheLordOfTime> whoops caps | |
| [22:39] <TheLordOfTime> Unit193: guess what else i found when i was looking at the system in the Live environment. I found the blasphemous Windows XP on the system. | |
