[00:40] <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
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <abhort42> nope, no floppys
[00:50] <abhort42> just a computer with a net connection, thats all...and flash drives
[00:51] <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
[02:46] <csc`> How easy is it to setup dual monitors with lubuntu 12.10?
[02:47] <csc`> mostly plug and play or is it a more advanced matter such as xinerama?
[02:50] <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.
[02:51] <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 :)
[02:52] <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.
[02:55] <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
[02:56] <phillw> csc`: we now have lxrandr installed as default :)

[18:51] <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
[18:52] <doppelganger_> But it's not working yet.
[18:52] <doppelganger_> What am i  doing wrong?
[18:54] <doppelganger_> Doesn't this "autostart" file run files as superuser?
[18:54] <doppelganger_> How do I do that?
[18:55] <Unit193> No, it runs as the logging in user, as long as you select the Lubuntu session.
[19:05] <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
[19:10] <doppelganger_> didn't work
[19:10] <doppelganger_> What do I do to run "sudo /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi start" on startup?
[19:14] <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....
[19:15] <Unit193> !init
