User1: Just downloading the ISO for Lubuntu, anyone know if it works with Wubi?
User2: Wouldn't say anything really works well with Wubi.
User1: Been using Wubi fine for last couple of years Unit193, why do you say that? Assuming I'm content with the overhead
User3: you can always install ubuntu with wubi and install LXDE
User3: it should work as wubi works
User2: But I'd guess Lubuntu works as well with it as Ubuntu.
User3: should.. in theory..
User4: Unit193, Maybe its just nothing works well with ntfs
User2: Try NTFS-3g, it's not so bad.
User5: hello everyone
User6: hiya
User5: ^_^
User5: could anyone point me in the right direction? I am new to ubuntu and i would like to learn how to use the "terminal". Any ideas as to where i can find resources (besides doing a google search)?
User6: whata ya wont to accomplish at the terminal or just want some basics?
User5: I would like to be able to manage my settings, install & remove programs... disable guest account... and eventually learn about how to create my own drivers for e.g. printers...
User6: well i know what you said, but i think some google fu is needed, making DRIVERS for printers? yikes, ill say the man command is your friend, you type man <program> like man ls or man apt   to see the help manual for that program, gack to google....  https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ie=UTF-8#hl=en&safe=off&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=linux%20command%20line%20guide&oq=&g

User5: sweet!! This is a good start!!! THANKS!!!!
User5: have you ever heard of backtrack?
User5: i tried using it... as the newbie I am ... and I failed miserably... i didn't even know how to install flash through the terminal
User6: eh well, backtrack is a whole distro, like ubuntu, its goal is to be a penetration testing platoform (security) as for installing flash thru the terminal, i suppose you could, but which version? the offical one that is closed, or some of the gui replacements?  i just use the gui isntaller like synamptic packatge manager to search for stuff, though i can use apt-get just fine, if you go with
User6: the closed flash from adobe, youll have to most likely go to adobe's site and follow the instructins
User6: are you using lubuntu now?
User5: i am using ubuntu 12.04 lts
User6: if you got zero command line experience, (terminal) well its gonna be a learning curve, sometimes using the gui along side can be helpful
User5: the backtrack i was using previously was kde edition backtrack r5
User5: good advice
User6: ah well this channel is for lubuntu 12.04, (though basicaly it is ubuntu with lxde) but maybe the channel #linuxbeginners would be a good place for you, (though its not heavily populated)
User5: ok... i will give it a try!
User6: wait thats #linuxbeginner   not with the s on the end
User5: ^_^ cool!!
User5: Phiscribe, thank you for all your help!
User5: cheers,
User6: gl
User7: hi
User7: my nick
User7: ah
User7: didnt know somebody would be using my nick
User7: anyway
User7: my vlc doesn't show  me video, it gave me a problem saying required resolution is different something like that
User7: any idea?
User8: how long does lubuntu take to install???
User9: ~20 mins
User8: im using a 1.8ghz, 512mb ram (2gb swap), and 80hdd
User9: gotta write that down to my memos
User6: i have only black shorts, write that in there too!
User10: how can i see my lubuntu version number?
User2: lsb_release -a
User11: can you find system profile and benchmark
User11: or what unit said SAKKED
User10: aa
User10: ok
User10: found that system profiler and benchmark
User10: says ubuntu 12.04
User10: strange
User10: i thought it would say Lubuntu
User10: but it says Ubuntu X-D
User11: yeah that's normal
User11: what version u running?
User10: 12.04
User11: good
User12: Hello
User12: Will installing lubuntu from wubi wipe youre hard drive
User2: Not that I know of, but I'd highly recommend you to dualboot rather than try wubi.
User12: I just want to try it out without using a live cd
User12: Hello
User12: Brb
User12: Does anyone know how to install linksys ae1000 on lubuntu
User13: is that a wifi dongle or something
User12: Huh
User12: Its a wireless adapter
User12: How do u install ndis wrapper w/out internet
User11: it's a pain, but if you know linux a little bit, you can download the package and install it manually with a usb key
User2: Either apt-offline, or !offline.
User14: I have a quick question about the install. The download page refers to 700 MB. Is that RAM or drive space?
User2: That's the ISO size for download.  (lagging a bit here, just a sec)
User14: Understood. The line ends with, "...Â try theÂ alternate installerÂ to install on computers with less RAM." That's the part that confused me.
User2: Yes, the alternate can do with less ram than desktop CDs.
User14: Ok. So the "less RAM" reference has nothing to do with 700 MB.
User2: Exactly.
User14: Got it. Thanks very much.
User1: Can someone explain to me the difference between the package installer, package manager, and software center?
User2: Where do you see the menu items?  Installer/manager kind of sound like "Update manager" and synaptic, while Software Center is just the pretty UI for installing stuff.
User1: They're all under system tools, Gdebi, Synaptic and Software center respectively
User2: Ah, gdebi is more for installing deb files, though that's not recommended.
User1: Does Lubuntu not come with any screen clipping tools?
User2: Meaning screenshot?  Printscreen takes a pic and puts it in /home/user using scrot cli tool
User1: Basically, but as in you select the desired region of your screen Unit193; not just a picture of the entire screen - every distro I've used has come pre-installed with one
User2: There is one, just no GUI for this current one.
User2: -s, --select              interactively choose a window or rectangle with the mouse
User1: Okay, sorry what's the command? It's not printscreen
User2: That should put a screenshot in your /home/user/, but open a terminal and type  scrot --help
User2: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/scrot
User2: That too.
User1: Sweet cheers
User2: If you'd rather use a GUI, you can install one of the many other tools that have one as well.
User15: Sorry for probably very simple question, I'm new to lubuntu using the xbmc OS, how can I change the default settings that turn off the monitor and/or computer after X inactivity.
User15: If that was unclear, my laptop is shutting down after just a few minutes of inactivity, I'm not sure if its directly a setting or if the monitor turns off and as a result the computer shuts down (the only display is the HDMI out)
User2: "Lubuntu using the XBMC OS"?  And there should be the xfce4-power-manager installed to configure that, you can open a terminal and paste xfce4-power-manager-settings to directly open it.
User15: I guess technically "XBMCbuntu" : http://xbmc.org/about/ Its basically media player software, one of the distributions includes lubuntu as the OS for a home theater PC. I appreciate the help, new to *nix
User15: do i need to run this as root?
User15: nvm, its saying I should "sudo apt-get xxxx"
User2: Well, do they have a support channel?  That's installed by default in newer versions of wgriffith@example.org.
User15: is that > lubuntu 11.10
User15: i can look more for a support channel, thanks for your time
User15: yeah I guess that wasn't the power manager, it said it wasn't running and gave me the error "gtk-warning **:unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap"
