[00:00] <holstein> auburtic: cheers! ...if you want, you can use tab complete in here... you can type hol and hit tab.. that will complete my nick.. you can type sol and tab and complete solarix1578.. *or* discover that the user has already left the channel
[00:09] <auburtic> holstein: right, discover? how?
[00:12] <holstein> auburtic: by typing "sol" and hitting tab and seeing that the nick does *not* complete, thus meaning the user is gone.. no worries, im just trying to save you some time. glad to have folks helping out

[01:46] <Ririshi> bah
[01:47] <Ririshi> I can't get the colors like the ubuntu terminal xD
[01:49] <Ririshi> Any suggestions on stuff I've got to have?
[01:54] <Ririshi> uhh.. the taskbar stopped responding and is now gone..
[01:54] <Ririshi> what to do? >.<
[01:54] <Ririshi> I've got one terminal opened
[01:54] <Ririshi> and this chromium browser..
[01:55] <Ririshi> Someone here?
[01:56] <auburtic> right-click > preference > bg color
[01:57] <Ririshi> and then?
[01:57] <auburtic> anyway lubuntu is not for customization, is you want that use ubuntu
[01:57] <Ririshi> ok
[01:58] <Ririshi> I was like: lubuntu is light so i'll use that..
[01:58] <Ririshi> because this netbook isn't that good ;p
[01:58] <inductiveload> Ririshi: you can set fore and background color in lxterminal
[01:59] <inductiveload> do what auburtic said: the foreground color is your text and the background is your background
[02:00] <Ririshi> I know :D did you read my other problem? :p
[02:00] <Ririshi> My taskbar is gone, as the preferences window stopped working..
[02:00] <auburtic> man if I set my nicj to "i" I would get pinged everytime no?
[02:03] <inductiveload> ok
[02:03] <inductiveload> ctrl-alt-t to get a terminal
[02:04] <inductiveload> then "lxpanel --profile Lubuntu &"
[02:04] <inductiveload> that should get your taskbar back
[02:05] <Ririshi> thanks
[02:06] <Ririshi> as soon as i close that terminal, the bar disappears again..
[02:07] <inductiveload> "disown lxpanel" after the first command
[02:09] <Ririshi> ok
[02:10] <Ririshi> thank you :D
[02:11] <inductiveload> np :-)
[02:13] <Ririshi> Even more questions :p Is it possible to make chromium automatically scroll when I'm on freenode IRC? Because it's very annoying to scroll everytime I or someone else says something
[02:14] <inductiveload> why not use pidgin?
[02:15] <Ririshi> idk xD didn't think of that :D
[02:16] <Ririshi> installing ubuntu-desktop takes a long time lol
[02:16] <Ririshi> Just installing, then thinking I don't like it lolz
[02:17] <Ririshi> err.. i started pidgin, but the windows are grey? lol
[02:21] <inductiveload> Ririshi: have to added an irc account?
[02:22] <inductiveload> * you
[02:22] <Ririshi> I started it for the first time.. and the buddy list and the accounts windows are both grey..
[02:23] <inductiveload> and can you add an account?
[02:23] <Ririshi> I don't think so.. nothing but greyness in there..
[02:24] <inductiveload> no menubar?
[02:25] <Ririshi> lol it's been running for about 10 mins and now "ubuntu" says that it has closed unexpectedly..
[02:27] <Ririshi> ok it says welcome to pidgin now :D
[02:28] <Ririshi> the password is server password or the pass of my username?
[02:28] <inductiveload> the password is the password you use to identify yourelf to the IRC services
[02:28] <inductiveload> if you don't identify, then you don't need it
[02:29] <Ririshi> ok ill quit here
[02:29] <Ririshi> then ill come online via pidgin
[02:29] <Ririshi> brb

[03:35] <Ririshi> Hi
[03:35] <Ririshi> I accidentally removed the power button from the taskbar.. is there a way to get it back? ^-^ I shouldn't mess with this so much >.<
[03:47] <devlos> Ririshi- right click the panel, select 'panel settings', select 'panel applets', select the bottom 'Application launch bar', and then edit, if no application launch bar then make a new one and edit, and add shut down or logout from system tools dropdown.
[03:48] <devlos> Ririshi
[04:32] <Ririshi> sory
[04:33] <Ririshi> my sound was turned down and i was busy

[04:42] <Ririshi> it doesn't show up
[06:04] <Ririshi> Hi
[06:05] <Ririshi> I've got a S3 Chrome9 HC iGP in my netbook. Are there any special drivers for those things? And when searching for drivers, where should I search?
[06:06] <mystdaren> go to preferences-> additional drivers and extra drivers should show up
[06:06] <Ririshi> ok.
[06:06] <mystdaren> and go to their website and see if they have linux drivers as well if that doesn't work
[06:07] <Ririshi> err.. additional drivers doesn't show up in menu > preferences > ...
[07:25] <Noskcaj> why are all the "penguin"/pre-installed games described as solitare by the software centers?

[20:00] <jarnos> When I resume from suspend, I see some text in screen for short time. Is that stored in some log file?
[20:02] <holstein> jarnos: i see text like that, and im not worried.. are you wanting to troubleshoot it as an error?
[20:05] <jarnos> holstein, I suspect that it is related to USB DVB-T tuner not working after resume (until reconnected).
[20:06] <holstein> jarnos: i dont have that. i just have a netbook... you can unplug the device, and wake it and see

[20:42] <MangoBoy> Hi. im thinking of upgrading from 11.04 to 12.04 lts what problems can i expect and will all my programs still be there after i upgrade trough update manager
[20:50] <holstein> MangoBoy: i would reinstall..
[20:50] <holstein> MangoBoy: depends n the programs.. shouldnt be a big deal
[20:51] <MangoBoy> holstein, Why reinstall?
[20:51] <holstein> MangoBoy: its a preference
[20:51] <holstein> MangoBoy: you cant upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04
[20:52] <MangoBoy> I have so lot of programs so it would take to looong / no?
[20:52] <holstein> you upgrade 11.10 to 11.10 to 12.04.. in that amount of time, i could probably install 12.04 fresh 5 or 6 times
[20:55] <TheLordOfTime> holstein, he can upgrade to 11.10 and have that for another 4 months.
[20:55] <TheLordOfTime> then decide to reinstall/upgrade.
[20:55] <holstein> sure
[20:56] <TheLordOfTime> that's what i'd recommend at least in the immediate
[20:57] <TheLordOfTime> and then download/test a 12.04 live disk or something
[21:01] <MangoBoy> Ok it said upgrade to ubuntu 12.04 LTS in the update manager so i should probably don't use that button :) but how do i update to 11.10 simplest way?
[21:01] <MangoBoy> Lubuntu!
[21:01] <TheLordOfTime> it says "Ubuntu" but it means Lubuntu :p
[21:02] <TheLordOfTime> shouldn't do-release-upgrade via terminal put him on 11.10...?
[21:02] <MangoBoy> it says 12.04 LTS
[21:03] <MangoBoy> 11.10 is what i want now, just to be inside suported :)
[21:07] <MangoBoy> TheLordOfTime, So it will not kick me of to latest release?
[21:09] <MangoBoy> I meen it does't
[21:10] <MangoBoy> install all programs anew does it?
[21:14] <holstein> i *always* fresh install
[21:25] <TheLordOfTime> i'm not sure, but i usually fresh install
[21:26] <holstein> i like to test the live CD
[21:26] <TheLordOfTime> indeed
[21:29] <MangoBoy> is there a way to dump a list of all programs installed that one can use to reinstall al of them after a fresh install
[21:30] <leandrosansilva> Hello to all. I'm installing lubuntu 12.10 32-bit on a Duron 1500 machine and I'm having problems with the graphical installer. After some time, it closes and, when I execute ubiquity on terminal to see what makes it crash, it prints a message "Ilegal instruction"
[21:30] <leandrosansilva> is it possible to use the old terminal-based installer?
[21:31] <leandrosansilva> those one which was available from "alternate" cd?
[21:33] <holstein> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/ lists alterantes
[21:34] <leandrosansilva> ok, in this case I have to download another image, etc. I'd like to know if it's possible to call that installer from the terminal. Something like ubiquity --frontend=terminal
[21:34] <leandrosansilva> because I don't know if the crash I get is because of the graphical installer
[21:35] <leandrosansilva> I tried to search for similar problems in the internet, but I couldn't find anything useful
[21:38] <leandrosansilva> so I don't know if tthis is a problem in ubiquity or in my machine
[21:39] <holstein> leandrosansilva: how does the live CD work on your hardware?
[21:42] <leandrosansilva> yes, it does
[21:43] <leandrosansilva> I'm using the 12.10 livecd
[21:43] <leandrosansilva> in fact from a usb flash drive
[21:43] <leandrosansilva> but the installer crashes in a specific point of the instalation
[21:43] <leandrosansilva> it as soon the slide show starts
[21:43] <leandrosansilva> after some seconcs, in fact
[21:46] <holstein> i would test the installation media, and the hard drive and the ram
[21:48] <leandrosansilva> ok, that's a possibility
[21:48] <leandrosansilva> I'll try this

[23:54] <Noskcaj> who runs the lubuntudesktop twitter page, it has only had 5 posts this year?
[23:55] <holstein> Noskcaj: it should say who the maintainer is.. maybe message them via twitter and volunteer to help if thats what you are suggesting
[23:56] <Noskcaj> holstein, pretty much, i will find the maintainer thing now, @lubuntulinux has a heap more tweats
[23:57] <Noskcaj> it doesn't say, and since all of it's older posts (it was active till august) are labeled "lubuntu screencast" it might be a bot
