| bennypr0fane | everyone, is there a difference, in the amount of work to be done, and in technical difficulty, between: 1) upgrading from a x.04 to a x.10 release, and 2) upgrading from an x.10 release to an (x+1).04 release? | 14:35 |

| palash | hi i am looking for some to help me to install ubuntu on tablet | 15:40 |
| DrDetroit | Hello, for many years I had run a redhat machine that was my router and firewall, and it worked flawlessly from 2002 to 2013 when the hd started having errors. | 15:40 |
| DrDetroit | It was a pentuim 1 with 256mb ram. and a 20mb hd. I was wondering if Lubuntu would do the same job? | 15:41 |
| DrDetroit | On the same machine | 15:41 |
| palash | i have seen video on ubuntu official site running ubuntu on nexus | 15:43 |
| manolos | Hi. In my Lubuntu setup, my mic is quiet and when i rise db i have noises and i can hear my voice. I use alsa (no pulse installed) | 16:39 |
| manolos | Can anyone suggest a solution? | 16:39 |
| holstein | manolos: try pulse... i would expect a bit of noise there.. .try another mic or hardware designed for what you are doing | 16:45 |
| manolos | i have many problems with pulse and specially with skype | 16:46 |
| holstein | manolos: i use skype with and without pulse | 16:46 |
| holstein | manolos: i would look in alsamixer and try muting things.. play around with the settings | 16:47 |
| manolos | ok ill try that | 16:48 |
| bennypr0fane | Hello | 19:04 |
| bennypr0fane | is there a difference, in the amount of work to be done, and in technical difficulty, between: 1) upgrading from a x.04 to a x.10 release, and 2) upgrading from an x.10 release to an (x+1).04 release? | 19:04 |
| Myrtti | no. | 19:10 |
| gomiboy | bennypr0fane: no difference, unless for troublesome values of x :) | 19:10 |
| Myrtti | atleast theoretically. | 19:10 |
| Myrtti | also, crossposting is a bit rude, you might end up getting conflicting information and help and it can be distracting to both you and the person who tries to help you. | 19:11 |
| bennypr0fane | Myrtti really, you think it's rude? I actually wouldn't consider this crossposting | 19:26 |
| Myrtti | bennypr0fane: a *bit* | 19:26 |
| Myrtti | just enough to warrant mentioning it, but not enough to start a bigger hissy fit about it. | 19:27 |
| bennypr0fane | I dunno, I don't see any harm aksing the same questions in 2 IRC channels. I'm not having a fit about it, I'd just like to understand what is specifically that you consider rude. | 19:28 |
| bennypr0fane | I mean we all know the situation where in one place there is no one who can help you, so you go try the place, right? | 19:29 |
| bennypr0fane | *the next place | 19:29 |
| Myrtti | anyway, you got your answer and this time it wasn't conflicting with the information you got from the other place, so you're all good. | 19:30 |
| bennypr0fane | yes | 19:30 |
| bennypr0fane | So, I'd like to crosspost that other question too, actually. May I? | 19:31 |
| bennypr0fane | When I edit /etc/default/grub and do update-grub, nothing changes in the bootmenu. also, the grub file doesn't look anything like my actual bootmenu. There are 4 Linuxes on my harddrive. I'm wondering where that grub that is booting me now is located and where's the one that I edited just now. The last install that I did was Bodhi Linux, and that is what boots by default now. So how can I make Lubuntu control my desired GRub config now? | 19:34 |
| bennypr0fane | IIRC, Grub is placed on master boot record, which is the first sector on my harddrive, and only one instnace of grub can be present there - correct? | 19:36 |
| Unit193 | Can't you just use the "grub installer" and reinstall grub from Lubuntu? | 19:43 |
| bennypr0fane | grub installer? | 19:44 |
| bennypr0fane | haven't heard of it. is it in the repos? | 19:44 |
| holstein | !grub | bennypr0fane should mention it | 19:45 |
| ubottu | bennypr0fane should mention it: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 19:45 |
| Unit193 | (grub-install, comes with it.) That wiki should help. | 19:47 |
| bennypr0fane | ok, trying grub-install now | 19:51 |
| bennypr0fane | thanks, grub-install worked! I wonder why there are 2 instnaces of Lubuntu in the boot menu though. There's "Ubuntu <kernel ver>" (which is my Lubuntu, I dunno why it isn't named so), thgen there's "Previous Linux versions", and then again "Ubuntu <kernel ver>", both "Ubuntus" boot the same OS | 20:05 |
| Unit193 | bennypr0fane: It's basically a handy list, then a "List all" type of thing. | 20:29 |
| bennypr0fane | Unit193 I don't understand | 20:40 |
