[00:00] <flop> you mean to open the file on my SD with other live cd?
[00:01] <holstein> flop: if you think its lubuntu related.. that will let you know if it is or not
[00:01] <holstein> though, it still could be some issue with your current user and group permissions
[00:02] <holstein> what would i do? maybe make another user and test
[00:02] <holstein> sudo chown or sudo chmod should work
[00:04] <flop> the thing is that I cannot even change anything with sudo chmod which is weird
[00:05] <flop> and I'm in the same group as the original file located in Downloads
[00:05] <holstein> flop: can you run sudo -i ?
[00:05] <flop> bug?
[00:05] <holstein> flop: i dont know yet.. i dont think so, since its not a problem for anyone else, or me
[00:06] <flop> sudo -i makes me root
[00:09] <holstein> flop: then, open that file with something
[00:10] <holstein> flop: you can email me the file if you like, and i'll try and get it to "break"
[00:10] <flop> ok, it open with leafpad
[00:10] <holstein> flop: i would try as another user..
[00:11] <holstein> flop: or try with a live cd.. try something different
[00:11] <flop> ok
[00:12] <flop> question is, does evince need write permission to open a file?
[00:12] <holstein> flop: not that im aware of
[00:13] <flop> the only difference is that the original file has write permission on group, but again I cannot set it with chmod
[00:15] <holstein> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/01/ubuntu-tip-change-ownership-of-files-folders/
[00:15] <holstein> flop: sudo chown flop:flop /path/to/file for example
[00:15] <holstein> i think you are doing it differently
[00:16] <flop> I did, still not working :(
[00:17] <holstein> flop: and as another user?
[00:17] <holstein> or live CD?
[00:17] <flop> ok I'll try live usb of lubuntu
[00:17] <flop> bbiab
[00:37] <flop> ok it's not opening but that was weird
[00:37] <flop> now*
[00:38] <flop> I booted in live sb of lubuntu and I could open it from the SD
[00:39] <flop> Then back to my hdd version, still the same
[00:39] <holstein> flop: so, you know its *not* lubuntu.. its your install
[00:39] <holstein> what would i do? try as another user
[00:39] <flop> then I changed the name to a.pdf and it opened! bt why??
[00:39] <flop> but*
[00:40] <flop> if I leave the file to a it won't open only on the SD but will open in /Downloads
[00:40] <flop> to "a"
[00:41] <flop> without .pdf extension
[00:41] <holstein> ?
[00:41] <holstein> it'll need that extention
[00:41] <flop> but the file opens without extension in /Downloads with evince
[00:42] <holstein> flop: i woudnt over think it.. if its a pdf, give it the .pdf extention
[00:43] <flop> ok. Good to know it's working at least. I guess I was the only being lazy just to name the file "a"
[00:43] <flop> only = one
[00:43] <flop> and thanks for helping me holstein  :)
[00:43] <holstein> sure. anytime
[02:46] <ubulove> Hi all
[02:47] <ubulove> I have a desktop pc 4 years old with 1GB of ram DDR2. What do you suggest ? Installing Lubuntu and stay with 1GB of ram or buy more DDR2 ram ?
[02:50] <holstein> ubulove: install lubuntu.. if you want more ram afterwards, go for it
[02:50] <ubulove> holstein: hmmm! Do i need more ram for lubuntu from your own experience?
[02:51] <Unit193> What do you plan on doing?
[02:52] <ubulove> Surfing over the net, talking in skype with cam, install LibreOffice and firefox.
[02:52] <holstein> ubulove: try the free option.. which is installing without buying ram.. then, try with $30 worth of ram if you decide you need it
[02:53] <ubulove> holstein: yeap you are right.
[02:55] <ubulove> holstein: LibreOffice is not included in Lubuntu. What office is included if u know?
[02:56] <holstein> ubulove: you can install libreoffice easily
[02:57] <ubulove> holstein: right now am from my 6 years old laptop, my father had this desktop pc and he didnt use it at all
[02:57] <ubulove> thats why am thinking to use it without spending any money on it.
[02:58] <ubulove> and I didnt know lubuntu exist, and i loved lubuntu more than ubuntu by canonical.
[02:58] <holstein> !lubuntu
[02:59] <ubulove> hehehe yeah i know it's still ubuntu. but i dont like unity :P
[02:59] <holstein> lubuntu is an official ubuntu distro, but its a community project.. not a canonnical one so much..
[03:01] <ubulove> its recognized by canonical
[03:01] <ubulove> thats good !
[03:01] <holstein> ubulove: its more than that.. its an official distro, as i said,, its just not directly supported by canonnical
[03:01] <holstein> its a community project
[03:02] <ubulove> holstein: I think I will register a nickname here. I loved this network. Every time I have a problem or something and I'm here I get satisfied.
[03:03] <ubulove> holstein: do you know if I will be able to connect through internet from a USB-WiFi running on lubuntu ?
[03:04] <ubulove> because ethernet isnt available till my room
[03:05] <holstein> ubulove: try it live
[03:05] <holstein> ubulove: most wifi devices are supported or can easily be supported
[03:05] <ubulove> alright, thanks man
[03:06] <ubulove> am going off now, thanks for your help, really appreciate!
[03:06] <ubulove> 05:06AM here in Cyprus
[03:56] <flop> is there a flash player in lubuntu chrome?
[03:56] <flop> *chromium
[04:00] <flop> some of the videos play in youtube while others say to install adobe flasg player
[04:00] <Unit193> You can install adobe-flashplugin.
[04:00] <Unit193> !info adobe-flashplugin partner
[04:03] <flop> how do I install it? from command line?
[04:04] <flop> says: adobe-flashplugin has no installation candidate
[04:05] <holstein> flop: i would search a package manage for flash
[04:05] <holstein> flop: i use google-chrome, since it has the most current version of flash for linux
[04:06] <flop> in the softwarelubuntu software center there is flash plugin but says it's for mozilla
[04:07] <holstein> well, it is
[04:07] <holstein> i dont think that means exclusively for ff
[06:33] <bigmath8636_> hi i have a question i am doing a dual boot with windows 7 on a 2TB hard drive and wanted to know about how much to give to my linux
[06:36] <hateball> bigmath8636_: That all depends what you intend to do with it. If you plan to install many applications, and/or store user data on the Linux partitions
[06:37] <bigmath8636_> in worst case scenario let's say i will how much maximum would be enough
[06:38] <bigmath8636_> in my guess 1 TB seems like to much for linux witch is still pretty light een with updates and distro upgrade
[06:39] <bigmath8636_> *which *even
[06:39] <bigmath8636_> sorry for the typo
[06:40] <bigmath8636_> would 100 gb be enough
[06:41] <bigmath8636_> without user data just software
[06:42] <Unit193> Sure.
[06:45] <bigmath8636_> thank you for your help
[10:32] <duanedesign> I am helping a user install Lubuntu. Is the installer much different then UBuntu
[10:32] <duanedesign> mainly is setting up a dual boot system fairly straight forward
[10:45] <inductiveload> duanedesign: i don't know what the ubuntu installer is like these days, but dual boot setup is relatively straightforward
[10:47] <inductiveload> you can just say "install Lubuntu alongside OtherOS", choose what proportion of the disk you want for each and the rest is handled automagically
[10:48] <duanedesign> thank you friend
[10:48] <duanedesign> chers
[10:48] <duanedesign> wc
[10:48] <duanedesign> ugh/wc
[20:42] <vitality> hello there
[20:43] <vitality> I would really need some help here if anyone is available
[20:44] <vitality> so heres's what happened...
[20:45] <vitality> I was using gparted live CD to take about 100GB (320GB total that lubuntu was using, the whole disk) to install windows 7 there, just to be able to install steam and run some games.
[20:45] <vitality> so gparted was doing it's thing and resizing the partition, when my laptop overheated and it went down.
[20:46] <vitality> I tried to fix it again using gparted live cd to correct the errors, but down again it went.
[20:46] <vitality> so I'm really in a mess here..
