| [01:10] <Travis> Hello all | |
| [01:13] <Travis> I am having issues getting my b43 drivers working with Lubuntu. Can anyone assist me? | |

| [01:20] <holstein> Travis: thats what i refer to each time | |
| [01:21] <Travis> ok | |
| [01:21] <Travis> I like the idea of total encryption too. | |
| [01:21] <holstein> Travis: ? | |
| [01:21] <Travis> When I installed Lubuntu, it asked if I wanted to encrypt the drive. | |
| [01:21] <holstein> Travis: you can like what you want.. but that doesnt have anything to do with the driver you are going to use | |
| [01:22] <holstein> Travis: that doesnt have anything to do with wireless.. or networking | |
| [01:22] <Travis> I know that. | |
| [01:22] <Travis> Was just stating how much I like it. | |
| [01:22] <holstein> i c | |
| [01:23] <holstein> sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer typically works well/best for the broadcom chips i have | |
| [01:23] <Travis> ok I gotta run for a bit, but will be back. | |
| [01:54] <Travis> ok am back :D | |
| [02:40] <Travis> holstein, thanks! | |
| [02:40] <Travis> ubottu, thank you! | |
| [02:40] <Travis> wireless works, after a little RTFM | |

| [04:41] <lukavecki> Hi all, how can I change the names of files on the desktop? | |
| [04:42] <lukavecki> rename doesn't work, and neither does changing the name in the properties dialog (maybe I have to edit the properties as root?) | |
| [04:46] <lukavecki> It appears I have to edit the .desktop file itself. | |
| [04:46] <lukavecki> Not the fanciest solution, but it works | |

| [11:06] <fxn> hi, I have some machines affected by the Ctrl-C bug of lxterminal, is there a way I can install https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxterminal/0.1.11-4ubuntu3 ? | |
| [11:17] <nortti> fxn: can't you sue xterm? | |
| [11:20] <fxn> nortti: yep | |
| [11:21] <nortti> *use | |
| [11:21] <fxn> nortti: same problem | |
| [11:21] <fxn> nortti: in xterm I do Ctrl-Shift-C, and a Ctrl-C is sent to the terminal | |
| [11:23] <fxn> then Ctrl-Shift-V appends an spurious character at the end | |
| [11:25] <fxn> ah, xterm does not even copy the text | |
| [11:25] <tsimpson> xterm uses select as copy, and middle-click as paste | |
| [11:28] <fxn> ah, didn't know that, apparently it also works in lxterminal | |
| [11:29] <nortti> it is part of x11 | |
| [11:29] <nortti> you can do that in every app | |
| [11:30] <fxn> awesome, don't need the shortcuts with this option then, thanks guys | |
| [13:29] <leszek> hi | |
| [20:55] <superdmp> hello, would anyone happen to know whether the latest version of lubuntu will work on an ancient (PIII) Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300? | |
| [20:55] <bioterror> try with LiveCD if it doesnt support usb boot | |
| [20:55] <Unit193> My guess is that the PIII won't support PAE. | |
| [20:56] <bioterror> Unit193, hard to say, it was used in servers! | |
| [20:56] <superdmp> after the furst Lubuntu screem, it throws up a few lines and ends with "[….] kernel_thread_helper […]" | |
| [20:56] <superdmp> this is from CD | |
| [20:56] <superdmp> what's PAE? | |
| [20:56] <bioterror> !pae | |
| [20:56] <ubottu> To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | |
| [20:58] <superdmp> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2087468 - 10.4 worked, apparently | |
| [21:04] <holstein> superdmp: i would try 12.04 | |
| [21:05] <superdmp> holstein: this is 12.04.something that's not booting | |
| [21:06] <superdmp> sorry, that's not right | |
| [21:06] <holstein> superdmp: i would have no issues using a 10.04 version of something on that hardware | |
| [21:06] <superdmp> this is 12.10 | |
| [21:06] <holstein> superdmp: i would look into some lubuntu and ubuntu variants such as peppermintOS, puppy linux, bodhi.. something made for older hardware | |
| [21:06] <holstein> superdmp: i would expect 12.10 to fail, where 12.04 might work.. | |
| [21:07] <gomiboy> using 12.04 on a p3 800mhz here, works perfec.... works. :) | |
| [21:07] <holstein> yup.. i have had the 12.04 work and the 12.10 fail on similar hardware | |
| [21:08] <superdmp> i'll try 12.04 then thanks | |
| [21:50] <DJRWolf> anyone have experence with lubuntu on a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 and using wi-fi? | |
| [21:53] <holstein> DJRWolf: no.. but im going to assume you have a broadcom chip and its not working | |
| [21:53] <holstein> i would install... and hardware to internet and follow | |

| [21:54] <holstein> i installed ubuntu 10.04 on a mini9 | |
| [21:57] <DJRWolf> the Dell website says WLAN 1510 Half MiniCard, Dell Wireless 1397 | |
| [21:57] <DJRWolf> I booted off of a live media flash drive and it did not even see the wireless as being there | |
| [21:58] <holstein> DJRWolf: you can install, or boot a live CD.. you can run a terminal and run lspci | |
| [21:58] <holstein> DJRWolf: the ones i have seen were a broadcom | |
| [21:59] <holstein> DJRWolf: are you in the live environment now? | |
| [22:06] <DJRWolf> no, somone ealts is looking into installing the factory image of WinXP, but I'll continue to try to push lubuntu to replace that since it is not a 10 year old OS | |

| [23:01] <llogiq> Hi folks. I have a problem w/ gphoto2 on quantal. | |
| [23:03] <llogiq> the camera is correctly identified, and gthumb shows thumbnails correctly, but importing the pictures (via gthumb or pcmanfm) just stops at 0% and stays there. No error message, no logging, nothing. | |
| [23:04] <llogiq> Googling brought up someone with the same problem, but no solution. | |
| [23:10] <llogiq> With gphoto2, it appears to work, so that was probably related to FUSE. | |
| [23:11] <llogiq> cu folks. | |
