[00:03] philipballew: have you run the self test on the CD? [00:05] no [00:09] I have a really quick question. I finally found out how to get applications to start automatically but I was wondering if there was a command I could add to make the program minimized? [00:34] when i upgraded my system from ubuntu to lubuntu, i did not see the option for encrypted /home partition. i had an encrypted home partition, however now it just shows a bunch of files listed as *.part [00:34] as a resutl much of the information is encrypted [00:34] any suggestions? === Gabby is now known as Ahmuck [00:46] Ahmuck: I haven't worked with encryption much outside of TrueCrypt, you may also like to check #ubuntu or maybe #ubuntu-beginners [00:47] ya, cept it wasn't ubuntu that borked the encrypted partition [00:47] is lubuntu going to support encrypted partitions in the next release? [00:47] /home encryptions? [00:47] AFAIK, it's supported now [00:47] Just the convert killed it [00:48] the convert? [00:51] What version of Ubuntu was it [00:51] ? [01:23] the last one. 10.10 [01:23] er, kubuntu 10.10 [01:23] er, maybee ubuntu 10.10, don't recall now [01:23] prolly kubuntu 10.10 [01:26] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReleaseNotes/MaverickMeerkat I don't see anything about encryption here, but there was in 10.04 [01:27] so i wonder how it or i borked my install [01:27] i wonder if there is a way to get my files back [01:31] Take a glance here maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1690865&page=2 or wait for another helper === M0hi is now known as IAmNotThatGuy [07:01] есть кто русский? === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohan_chml [07:08] dimkins: English please [07:10] !ru [07:10] Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke.

But knows to use Google translate :D [15:39] Can anyone help me with a sound card issue? === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [18:53] Hi guys and girls [18:56] Is it possible to reverse the scroll direction in lxde? [18:58] Anyone? === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie [19:01] IAmNotThatGuy; do you know by any chance? [19:02] MrChrisDruif, I have seen it somewhere. Now I am a bit busy man. I ll come back to that [19:02] MrChrisDruif: reverse the scroll direction? [19:02] 5 mins [19:03] KM0201; yeah, like they've got in Mac Lion [19:03] MrChrisDruif: Are you writing in a language that is written right-to-left? Learning Hebrew, or something like that? [19:03] >_< [19:04] MrChrisDruif: considering i don't use mac lion, i don't really understand what you mean by "scroll direction" [19:05] Well, when you scroll with the mouse wheel (or on the trackpad) you move the page down with by "pulling down", but I want to reverse that [19:06] Like in this article: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/07/reverse-natural-scrolling-ubuntu-os-lion/ [19:11] I've managed to get it working in Gnome, but I also want it in lxde (if possible) [20:39] where should lubuntu bugs be reported? can't find an option to create a new issue on launchpad [20:39] Launchpad is the correct place. [20:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs should have all the details. [20:43] jmarsden: ah ok, its not a crash though, just noticed the filename for the iso in the lubuntu torrent is wrong [20:44] So the bug is a typo in a wiki page? Which page? you or I can fix that! [20:44] it should be reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/ even if it is for lubuntu right [20:44] not wiki [20:44] well, idk maybe [20:45] on this page: http://lubuntu.lafibre.info/11.04/ [20:45] That's not an official Lubuntu website... reportthat to whoever runs that site. [20:45] hmm its linked from official lubuntu site [20:46] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu#A11.04 [20:46] Yes, it is someone who is part of the Lubuntu community, I forget who :) [20:46] its the official download link tho [20:46] If there is a typo in the help.ubuntu.com page, tell me and I'll fix it right now. [20:46] its not on that page itself [20:46] Wait... the official download location for 11.04 is the lafibre site? [20:47] yes it seems so [20:47] That's new... let me check... [20:47] okey [20:48] Looks like someone rewrote that page relatively recently, or else my memory is really bad...! [20:49] But you can't really file bugs about a non-Ubuntu site in LP, it doesn't really make sense, Ubuntu people can't fix that. [20:49] its just weird because there is no other official download source [20:50] guess i could add a note on the wiki page about the problem [20:50] well, 11.04 was not officially a Ubuntu release, we only became "official" from a Ubuntu/Canonical perspective in 11.10 :) [20:50] Better to post to the lubuntu-desktop mailing list, if you are already on that? [20:51] I'm trying to figure out whose site the lubuntu.lafibre.info is :) [20:52] Might be gilir, it is registered in France. [20:55] ah ok [20:56] i dont usually read the dlist, but im happy to post there if it would be helpful [20:56] the problem is that the md5 sums have different file names [20:56] than the isos from bittorrent [20:57] Sure, go ahead and post; whoever owns that site will be on that mailing list, I'm sure. [20:58] Oh, OK. So you have to manually compare them after downloading; that would break using md5sum -C MD5SUMS to test with... [20:59] Although in reality bittorrent checksums every chunk of the file anyway, so I'd be prettty amazed if you gto a bittorrent download sucessfully and its md5sum was incorrect -- probably the only way to do that would be a failing hard drive that didn't write what it was told to write when you stored the file! [21:01] yeah its a bit redundant, but i had the image downloaded on one machine with a bt client [21:01] and then copied it over the local network to another system [21:02] which had no bt client, and wanted to check with md5 sums [21:02] but ended up having to install a bt client on the 2nd system too [21:02] just to check the file [21:03] No, that's unnecessary, surely! You can just md5sum somefile.iso and then read the MD5SUMS file and see if the numbers match! [21:03] The filename being not quite the same should not be an issue for a human, right? [21:04] yeah that seemed to be the other option, but for some reason i dont think it worked [21:04] was on a windows system using some random md5 program, but not really sure what the issue might have been [21:05] at that point i was focusing not on fixing the issue, but just getting the iso downloaded ok :D [21:05] If you have to use Windows, install Cygwin, then you have an md5sum command just as you do in Linux :) [21:06] Anyway, OK, mention it on the list and we'll see what happens. [21:06] ah i did install cygwin, didnt realize there was an md5 util included (couldn't figure out how to install stuff in cygwin) [21:06] its a loaner laptop so i didnt want to spend alot of time getting it set up perfectly [21:06] run the setup.exe and click on the stuff you want to install :) [21:07] ok, thanks, its a small issue but its nice to have everything working without manual steps [21:07] Oh, I agree, we should fix it. But you should not have needed to download twice because of this issue, that was my point, I think :) [21:07] oh it has to be selected at install time? i installed cygwin a month ago the last time i actually used the laptop, and didn't recall the install steps [21:08] oh, i didn't download twice [21:08] i pointed the bt client to the iso and used its file check function [21:08] You can re-run the setup.exe from Cygwin and add stuff at will. [21:08] cool, i will try that if i have to use that laptop again [21:09] That is also how you keep it updated -- run the setup and don't click any new stuff, it updates what is already there. [21:09] thats nice, i wanted to use ssh too, but couldn't see how to install it without apt-get :D [21:10] :) Yes, cygwin does have some sort of internal installer, but I just run the setup.exe when I need to add stuff, it works well. [21:10] just dont have much experience with cygwin because i havent used windows in years :) [21:11] Good for you... my work needs it, so lots of machines I work on get Cygwin added to them :) [21:13] yeah this windows lappy is for work, usually i just do server stuff but this needs to run flash for video streaming, and system is probably too slow for linux/flash [21:14] i installed some windows version of git that included ssh, which was pretty helpful [21:14] but it would be better to use a more general tool such as cygwin [21:15] yes... my two choices are virtualbox on newer machines, so Linux can run inside that, or cygwin on older machines :) [21:15] oh yeah vbox would let me do the full thing [21:16] but as long as i can ssh then its possible to connect to some other system and just work remotely [21:16] im trying to get it to live boot for using it with linux at home, but the wifi card requires prop. drivers [21:17] so cd wont really work [21:17] and im having some issue making a liveusb stick [21:17] which is weird because i have made these ok a million times in the past [21:18] i think my desktop linux system is trying to automount the usb stick while meanwhile i try to write the new image >_< [21:18] For just ssh, you can use the Windows version of Putty. For weird wifi issues, it's cheaper to buy a known-Linux-OK USB wifi thngie and use that, than to spend time on propietary wifi hardware, IMO :) [21:19] MikeChelen: For that, just wait for the automount attempt, then umount if it was mounted, and off you go... just a timing issue. [21:19] jmarsden: i was using putty before, but had compatibility issues with key auth [21:20] oh yeah maybe i have a usb wifi around here somewhere [21:20] thats a good reminder [21:20] There is a converter for the file formats that you can use to get around the putty ssh key thing. [21:20] i tried to tether my android phone a bit but dont really know the procedure [21:21] yeah i think i ended up doing something like that, it just added an extra step [21:21] and i think the first converter i got was one way in the wrong direction [21:21] since i was working remotely and couldn't change the authorized key on the server [21:22] for liveusb, having a little trouble figuring out what is the status at any given moment [21:22] it might have gotten interrupted previously and now the usb bus is messed up until reboot [21:23] the usb stick is appearing as a drive in nautilus [21:23] (my desktop is regular ubuntu) [21:24] and when i click the eject icon it gives an error about volume being in use [21:26] Weird. You could try turning off automount completely in the host OS, but I forget the details. Just waiting a while, then sudo umount /media/whatever (if it got mounted there) seems to work for me on a Ubuntu 10.04.3 desktop. [21:27] the usb stick activity light keeps flashing, which it normally doesnt, so i think there is just something trying to access it improperly [21:27] yeah if automount were disabled that would be fine, but usually the behavior is acceptable [21:28] also a lazy unmount might help [21:28] and sudo unmount would help too if the rogue process causing volume access is being run only under my user
