| abhort42 | Well, i'm trying to install Linux on a computer that has windows xp on it..I have no cdrom and cant boot off usb...and i dont want to use a loopback filesystem...anyway i can install linux on here? | 00:40 |
|---|---|---|
| abhort42 | PXE is out of the question as well | 00:40 |
| Unit193 | Well, the methods to install are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation_without_a_CD (or http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html but oh well) | 00:48 |
| Unit193 | abhort42: You got a floppy drive and a floppy? :P | 00:48 |
| abhort42 | nope, no floppys | 00:49 |
| abhort42 | just a computer with a net connection, thats all...and flash drives | 00:50 |
| abhort42 | i was contemplating PXE but all i got is wireless, no ethernet cable...sigh.. | 00:51 |
| abhort42 | i almost used wubi but i just dont want a loopback install | 00:51 |
| csc` | How easy is it to setup dual monitors with lubuntu 12.10? | 02:46 |
| csc` | mostly plug and play or is it a more advanced matter such as xinerama? | 02:47 |
| phillw | csc`: the default Menu --> Preferences ->> Monitor Settings | 02:50 |
| phillw | should see the additional monitor if it is connected up and powered on before you turn the computer on. | 02:50 |
| csc` | phillw, so its basically a matter of a few clicks really | 02:51 |
| csc` | cool beans | 02:51 |
| phillw | csc`: ona good day, yes.. on a bad day, it needs more work... always go for a good day :) | 02:51 |
| csc` | phillw, well its a boat anchor dell. Also pretty bummed lubuntu of all flavors is forcing PAE | 02:52 |
| csc` | lucky for me i have a pentium M which doesnt complain about the pae kernel being forced. | 02:52 |
| phillw | csc`: have a look at http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=84 and then note the date of the post.... Or, put another way... lubuntu can support dual screen :D | 02:55 |
| phillw | csc`: we now have lxrandr installed as default :) | 02:56 |

| doppelganger_ | I've edited the file /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart to run hamachi on startup | 18:51 |
| doppelganger_ | "@/etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi start" | 18:51 |
| doppelganger_ | I've added this line to the file | 18:51 |
| doppelganger_ | But it's not working yet. | 18:52 |
| doppelganger_ | What am i doing wrong? | 18:52 |
| doppelganger_ | Doesn't this "autostart" file run files as superuser? | 18:54 |
| doppelganger_ | How do I do that? | 18:54 |
| Unit193 | No, it runs as the logging in user, as long as you select the Lubuntu session. | 18:55 |
| doppelganger_ | Will try /etc/rc.local. If i don't come back it either worked or i've exploded my pc in anger. | 19:05 |
| doppelganger_ | []'s | 19:05 |
| doppelganger_ | didn't work | 19:10 |
| doppelganger_ | What do I do to run "sudo /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi start" on startup? | 19:10 |
| Unit193 | sudo crontab -e and put @reboot sudo /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi start or you could actually have the daemon set to run on startup.... | 19:14 |
| Unit193 | !init | 19:15 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 19:15 |
