| jirido | Ok! thanx | 00:09 |
| Unit193 | What version of Lubuntu? | 00:09 |
| jirido | 12.04 | 00:10 |
| Inside | halp | 00:11 |
| Inside | does lubuntu work with virtualPC? | 00:11 |
| Inside | I get a seg fault right when I go to install it.. | 00:12 |
| holstein | Inside: theres nothing lubuntu is doing to prevent being installed in virtualization | 00:13 |
| holstein | Inside: i do it with virtualbox often | 00:13 |
| Inside | hmmm | 00:13 |
| holstein | Inside: i would check the iso.. test with other known good iso's | 00:13 |
| Unit193 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu#Known_Issues All the known Lubuntu Quantal install issues. | 00:15 |
| holstein | Inside: virtual PC might not support lubuntu.. virtualbox will run on whatever operating system you are using | 00:16 |
| * Inside sighs ._. | 00:16 | |
| holstein | http://www.sevenforums.com/virtualization/183447-virtual-pc-ubuntu-11-04-a.html seem relevant, though a bit dated Inside | 00:18 |
| Inside | taking a look, thanks | 00:18 |
| holstein | "the Microsoft Virtual PC is meant to be installed on Windows 7, to run Windows XP, Vista and / or Windows 7 guest systems" | 00:18 |

| Inside | here's a question -- I'm not sure if lubuntu is what I'm looking for | 00:19 |
| holstein | Inside: virtualbox https://www.virtualbox.org/ runs on most any host and supports most any guest | 00:19 |
| holstein | Inside: download it and run it live.. try lubuntu live | 00:19 |
| Inside | I really basically need something with a terminal where I can compile stuff.. I don't even really need the windowing manager thing | 00:19 |
| Inside | > Microsoft Virtual PC can not run 64-bit guest machines, not even on 64-bit hosts as is your case. You must use 32-bit install media when installing Windows to Virtual PC guest. ah, interesting | 00:20 |
| holstein | Inside: that would be more like ubuntuserver or minimal.. but you might want lubuntu for that since you might need/want a desktop at first | 00:20 |
| holstein | Inside: you can run 64bit guests in 32bit virtualbox, but i wouldnt | 00:20 |
| holstein | Inside: if you are looking to "compile", you might just want to use a live CD... save your work to a USB stick | 00:21 |
| holstein | Inside: otherwise, you wont take full advantage of the machine | 00:21 |
| Inside | well and also run a server from the command line | 00:21 |
| holstein | Inside: server? a windows server? | 00:21 |
| holstein | Inside: theres not much difference in linux servers and desktops... other than packages and configuration | 00:21 |
| Inside | no, a game server which only works under nix stuff | 00:21 |
| holstein | Inside: then, why not compile there? | 00:22 |
| holstein | Inside: or try using it from a live CD? or USB stick? or in virtualbox? | 00:22 |
| Inside | er.. that's the point -- I'm looking for a linux flavor which is very light weight where I can compile the stuff that I need from source and then run it | 00:23 |
| holstein | Inside: puppy is light... lubuntu is | 00:23 |
| Inside | is.. also ligt? | 00:23 |
| Unit193 | Inside: You may find that Ubuntu server, Ubuntu minimal, or even debian good for that. | 00:23 |
| holstein | i dont think the lightness is the issue.. you are using virtualization that is not supporting linux | 00:23 |
| Unit193 | If the idea is to have a server. | 00:23 |
| holstein | xubuntu is not "heavy".. though, if you dont need X, dont install it | 00:24 |
| Inside | holstein: I'll find a different virtualization thing that'll hopefully work, I just mean something that I can run without it taking up a lot of resources | 00:24 |
| holstein | Inside: lubuntu is that.. so are plenty of linux distros | 00:24 |
| wxl | Inside: use virtualbox. it works. you can tweak it to use as much resources as you like. as a guest, lubuntu doesn't use much, especially without x. | 00:24 |
| Inside | right, I'm getting vbox setup right now | 00:24 |

| holstein | you might prefer https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:25 |
| holstein | no need to install lubuntu if you dont want x | 00:25 |
| Inside | thanks, gonna give it a try! | 00:27 |

| billhookman | hi, anybody know why I cannot access to software center? It does not load anything to select. synaptic works ok. | 15:33 |
| theixle | Can I make a single instance of lxterminal start maximized with --geometry or some other means? | 16:58 |
| holstein | theixle: have you checked out 'lxterm -help' ...i see lots of arguments there | 17:07 |
| theixle | Yes, all I saw was the geometry one and I tried to use lines/rows but couldn't get it just right | 17:11 |
| theixle | oh you said 'lxterm' I was looking at 'lxterminal' | 17:16 |
| holstein | theixle: sorry.. i looked at both just now, and lxterm has much more options | 17:32 |
| holstein | theixle: will that work? im not sure how to do that with lxterminal.. maybe in #lxde? | 17:32 |
| theixle | I was able to run xterm maximized, lxterm returns an error | 17:34 |
| theixle | It might work once I adjust the default font | 17:34 |
