| segers_j | Hi, I'm trying to install Lubuntu on a firewire disk on a 2010 iMac. the install went ok, but I can't figure out how to boot it. Google only found stuff about doing this on PPC hardware. Anyone here willing and able to help? | 04:48 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | segers_j: i dont think that era machine from mac was able to just boot whatever you want | 04:49 |
| holstein | segers_j: you can always put grub or some other bootloader on a local disk that points to the firewire disk to boot | 04:50 |
| holstein | segers_j: might also be able to use plop from CD to boot and find the firewire drive with grug or whatever bootloader you have on it | 04:50 |
| segers_j | holstein: ok, do I need to repartition the internal drive to do that? | 04:51 |
| holstein | http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/download.html | 04:51 |
| ianorlin | or make a live cd | 04:51 |
| segers_j | holstein: err, no the first one. | 04:51 |
| holstein | segers_j: tbh, i have little first hand experience with customizing ppc linux.. i always just installed to an internal drive.. but you should be able to use grub from the internal drive | 04:52 |
| segers_j | holstein: Ok, what's involved in putting grub on the internal drive, and by the way I've got a core i3 not ppc. | 04:53 |
| holstein | segers_j: OH, i would just use plop then, from cd | 04:54 |
| segers_j | ok, I'll go research that, many thanks. | 04:55 |
| holstein | otherwise, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair might do you right from a live CD | 04:55 |

| dipanjan | I was trying to connect to internet using bluetooth PAN on lubuntu 13.04. But it did not connect to internet though it showed me connected in the blueman manager. It wasnt connected to the internet in the network manager. So i cant connect to internet! Help! | 19:33 |
| ianorlin | does the bluetooth PAn connected to the internet? | 19:35 |
| dipanjan | I have used bluetooth PAN with ubuntu before n i did all steps right. My phone had internet data on. I paired the phone with pc. Then the PAN request even came to my phone. But after that it just doesnt connect | 19:38 |

| dipanjan | No solution? :( | 19:46 |
| dipanjan | Okay! Answer my question later on askubuntu. But can anyone please try to bluetooth tether their phones to their lubuntu 13.04 distro? I know it works like a charm in ubuntu.. | 19:54 |
| * ianorlin can't bluetooth teather as doesn't have a phoen that does that | 19:56 | |
| dipanjan | No android phone? | 19:58 |
| dipanjan | Every android phone can bluetooth tether! | 19:58 |
| ianorlin | no I don't | 19:58 |
| dipanjan | It's called network access point.. NAP | 19:58 |

| dipanjan | :( | 19:59 |
| esp_ | hello, can someone suggest me a way to make automatich webpage screenshot, on a HEADLESS server, via crontab? | 19:59 |
| dipanjan | Bye :( | 20:12 |
| genii | Thats actually an interesting problem. I think I'd use xvfb, run the web browser under that to the web page, then screenshot with xwd | 20:25 |
| Unit193 | xvfb is very handy. | 20:26 |
| genii | Yes :) | 20:31 |
| Noskcaj | joshu_, still looking for SSDs? | 20:56 |
| Noskcaj | Any would work | 20:56 |
| Noskcaj | phillw, i posted a few issues i found on the lubuntu wiki page yesterday, can you have a look? http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/07/22/%23lubuntu.html#t08:23 | 20:57 |
| Unit193 | !itsawiki | 20:59 |
| ubottu | It's a wiki, *you* can edit it | 20:59 |
| Noskcaj | Unit193, I wanted to be sure if it should be edited | 21:00 |
| joshu_ | hi Noskcaj I bought an Intel 330 60GB but haven't opened it yet? Any good? | 21:00 |
| Noskcaj | joshu_, for what i've heard, they're one of the most reliable ones you can buy | 21:01 |
| joshu_ | Noskcaj that;s great news! I spent quite a while trying to find a suitable option | 21:02 |
| joshu_ | Noskcaj In terms of any ubuntu specific configuration I was told on #Ubuntu that I should research as there are things to to when using SSDs. I found this link https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd which has easy to follow steps. Do you recommend these or something different or nothing at all? | 21:04 |
| Noskcaj | joshu_, from what i've heard, you don't need any linux specific setup now. just use 13.04 (or 13.10) and use the "whole disk" option | 21:05 |
| joshu_ | Noskcaj oh really I'm using 13.04, so I shouldn't make any changes? When you say whole disk you mean guided partitioning during install? | 21:06 |
| Noskcaj | joshu_, yeah | 21:07 |
| joshu_ | Noskcaj great less too worry about! thanks! | 21:08 |
| Noskcaj | no problem | 21:08 |
| canin | 13.10 fully adopts the isntall for SSD now? No more changing FS settings and swap? | 21:08 |
| Noskcaj | canin, (i think) it's similar to 13.04, but better kernal support. the swap and some FS settings are only optional, so they aren't going to get activated | 21:21 |
