| [00:16] <acpiorwhat> anyone? | |
| [00:17] <ianorlin> not sure why that is happening does running it in a terminal print an error message? | |
| [00:20] <acpiorwhat> ianorlin, are you talking to me? | |
| [00:21] <ianorlin> yes acpiorwhat | |
| [00:24] <acpiorwhat> i clicked on Preferences > Default applications for LXSession and then a pop up window appeared saying : "The database is updating, please wait" I have waited over 15 minutes! | |
| [00:36] <acpiorwhat> how can i enable acpi while the system is up and running? | |
| [00:36] <acpiorwhat> i do not want to enable acpi at boot | |
| [00:37] <FakeBoost> Hello, I have an AMD athlon pc with 1545MB Ram, and Lubuntu 14.04 in it, and it's laggy, it's slow... | |
| [00:37] <FakeBoost> Is there something i can do to make it faster? | |
| [00:46] <ianorlin> that should be enough ram do you have lots of tihngs open like how many tabs in webbrowser or running at 100% cpu the whole time | |
| [00:46] <FakeBoost> dont have lots of things open | |
| [00:47] <FakeBoost> it's slow even for typing | |
| [00:47] <FakeBoost> it has a delay | |
| [00:47] <FakeBoost> and scrolling too... | |
| [00:47] <ianorlin> what kind of graphics? | |
| [00:47] <FakeBoost> card? | |
| [00:47] <ianorlin> yes graphics card? | |
| [00:47] <FakeBoost> It's a geforce... | |
| [00:48] <FakeBoost> geforce mx440 | |
| [00:50] <FakeBoost> ianorlin? | |
| [00:51] <FakeBoost> I thinks it's a 32mb card. | |
| [00:59] <acpiorwhat> I am running 14.04 and i can´t execute lxsession-default-apps, because it hangs at "The database is updating, please wait" I have waited over 20 minutes! | |
| [01:00] <acpiorwhat> i clicked on Preferences > Default applications for LXSession and then a pop up window appeared saying : "The database is updating, please wait" I have waited over 20minutes! | |
| [01:07] <A3> any devs here who can help me out? | |
| [01:07] <acpiorwhat> any devs here who can help me out too? | |
| [01:20] <tuxmax> vga compatible controller : nvidia corporation nv18 (geforce 4 mx 4000) problem video the floder in browser hide and appear | |
| [01:32] <ianorlin> Fakeboost I don't personally have one of those cards but I read this http://askubuntu.com/questions/375696/nvidia-geforce4-mx-420-13-10/395431#395431 | |
| [01:58] <FakeBoost> Checked that, but it is a ubuntu thread... | |
| [01:58] <FakeBoost> Not lubuntu, the supposed lightweight one... | |
| [01:58] <FakeBoost> ianorlin | |
| [02:00] <ianorlin> yes but it is still shared driver | |
| [02:01] <FakeBoost> ok... | |
| [02:01] <FakeBoost> what i see in that thread is that there is no solution. | |
| [02:04] <ianorlin> no the grub noveau.noaccel=1 in teh command would turn off a problem with accelratoin on video card | |
| [02:05] <FakeBoost> " | |
| [02:05] <FakeBoost> | |
| [02:05] <FakeBoost> I had trouble with the same type of system. What finally got me working was to disable the acceleration support in the nouveau driver. Via sudo, I edited /etc/defaults/grub so that: | |
| [02:05] <FakeBoost> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | |
| [02:05] <FakeBoost> Became: | |
| [02:05] <FakeBoost> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.noaccel=1" | |
| [02:05] <FakeBoost> And then: | |
| [02:05] <FakeBoost> sudo update-grub | |
| [02:05] <FakeBoost> I restarted the machine, and the graphics issues were resolved. Admittedly, I'm disabling the acceleration support - but I'd rather have slow correct graphics than fast incorrect ones." | |
| [02:05] <FakeBoost> What does that mean? | |
| [02:06] <ianorlin> it means that it won't be superfast but that it could be better if it is using all of your cpu which would make it slow | |
| [02:07] <FakeBoost> ok, so i just go for it... | |
| [02:07] <FakeBoost> I will try it now. | |
| [02:22] <FakeBoost> ianorlin, i modified the line, but when i try to save the file, it says permission denied (via notepad) and the same goes with the command cat > grub... | |
| [02:23] <FakeBoost> And I ran it with sudo... | |
| [02:24] <ianorlin> Fakeboost why not sudo nano | |
| [02:24] <FakeBoost> sorry | |
| [02:24] <FakeBoost> just did it, i ran sudo and leafpad and got it... | |
| [02:25] <FakeBoost> rebooting now... | |
| [02:32] <FakeBoost> Well, it seems the slow thing in this machine is the internet browsing... | |
| [02:34] <ianorlin> I can't really make your network faster | |
| [02:35] <FakeBoost> haha | |
| [02:35] <FakeBoost> maybe you know something about this: | |
| [02:35] <FakeBoost> you know when you iwconfig... | |
| [02:35] <FakeBoost> you get signal strength in dbm... | |
| [02:36] <FakeBoost> Well in this machine i get it in n/100 | |
| [02:36] <FakeBoost> It is awckward. | |
| [07:43] <uluberlu> hello | |
| [07:44] <uluberlu> is it possible to have clamav working with sylpheed to prevent viruses? | |
| [08:19] <uluberlu> ? | |
| [10:07] <MaxFrames> hello | |
| [10:08] <MaxFrames> lubuntu 14.04: the lock screen button on the close session dialog screen does nothing. why, and how to fix? | |
| [13:33] <bollo_> ah crap now I cannot login to lxqt in either 13.10 or 14.04 | |
| [13:34] <bollo_> before only 14.04 kicked me right back to lightdm | |
| [13:40] <holstein> bollo_: i make certain my password and account is working in TTY, then, i try other accounts, such as guest, to make sure the user account is not breaking the config for something | |
| [13:40] <bollo_> holstein: login i fine | |
| [13:41] <holstein> bollo_: you have a PPA added? | |
| [13:41] <bollo_> holstein: I can login to openbox and start lxqt from there | |
| [13:41] <bollo_> holstein: yeah lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily | |
| [13:41] <holstein> bollo_: ok.. that sounds like an acceptable work-around for development releases | |
| [13:41] <bollo_> holstein: yep :) | |
| [13:42] <bollo_> just curious if anyone had an idea about the issue | |
| [13:42] <holstein> bollo_: maybe the maintainer of the packages you are using | |
| [13:49] <bollo_> I'll just have to wait I guess | |
| [13:49] <bollo_> I've seen other people in here with the same issue | |
| [13:50] <bollo_> I'll play around with siduction lxqt for now :) | |
| [13:51] <holstein> bollo_: you see other people with the same unsupported packages added? having issues? | |
| [13:51] <holstein> bollo_: there should be a way to report those bugs and issues to the developers | |
| [13:51] <bollo_> holstein: Yeah maybe a week ago someone brought it up in here | |
| [21:35] <randi> Hi, can I replace Tools>Open Folder As root with similar ? Ty | |
| [21:36] <randi> i mean can I simulate the old command that was in 13.10 | |
| [21:40] <randi> am running 14.04 on flashstik, so permission issues come up a lot when copying and deleting from local hard drives and other flashdrives | |
| [21:41] <randi> open folder as root was handy for that | |
