[13:00] goal : backup actual one and user-wise editing one (for grandpa!) [13:02] the ones in /etc/xdg/menus not refers to the one used [14:14] What are the advantages/disadvantages of different partitions on a NAS? [14:15] what are you trying to do with your NAS? [14:16] rosemball: streaming and backups are the main purposes of the nas [14:17] so you want different partitions for your media and backups? [14:17] rosemball: thats the plan. idk if it's a good idea... [14:18] What raid setup are you using? [14:19] rosemball: no raid. just one external hard drive on my pi. its more like a low end nas. [14:23] well, I think you would be better off with only one partition [14:25] IMO partitioning is the way to go if: 1) you want to use different FS in the same disk (like ext4 and the swap). 2) you have more than 1 disk and want to put different mountpoints in them (like / in disk 1 and /home in disk 2) [14:29] also, partitioning on the same disk is good if you frequently format one partition and leave the other one intact (like keeping /home and formatting /) [14:32] rosemball: great, thank you for your help! i'll prefer this too. it's much more simpler and cleaner solution. [14:35] koell, you're welcome [14:37] rosemball: do you also know, if it's possible to backup my music, photos, and videos to a 2nd hdd with ntfs filesystem? i would like to have a 2nd disk to use it as mobile hdd i can go with, which also works on windows pcs [14:42] yes, it is possible [14:43] you want to mount it on your NAS or directly on your pc? [18:47] so - does anyone know how long will it take for lxde to switch to qt? [18:50] It will take longer than until April for lubuntu to switch and 14.10 at the earliest it is not stable yet [18:51] there is a way to build it from source on the lxde blog but is not stable [18:52] ianorlin, but it's a definitive switch - right. LXDE is definitely switching to qt- the question is just in timing - right? [19:25] yes === mkv is now known as m4v === SpeedRacer is now known as SonikkuAmerica [19:46] Hi. Try to make my own .desktop with Type=Link, but failed to add it with existings applet of lxpanel. Any clue ? [20:15] So i installed 32bit lubuntu 13.10 on this old desktop, and when I boot I am presented a "Localhost login" screen [20:15] I have tried the username/password i setup during the installation [20:15] Doesn't work [20:15] Anyone know the default? whats the workaround for this? [20:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [20:24] I don't think that applies to me [20:24] upon boot i see this ubuntu 13.10 local host.localdomain tty1 [20:26] can you log into that? [20:26] what kind of graphics card? [20:26] !nomodeset [20:26] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [20:27] what does hitting control alt f7 do? [20:27] i cannot login, it's an old pc, amd athlon xp [20:27] processor [20:27] altf7 removes the screen and i get command line [20:27] but i cannot type anything [20:28] are you sure you installed from a good disk? [20:29] yes, ill try once more. maybe this pc can't handle lubuntu? i have yet to try puppy linux [20:29] not install but there is a testdisk option on the disk [20:29] oh yes it passed the tests [20:30] hmm not sure then [20:31] recommend any other distros? [22:41] Anyone knows how can I take screenshots in Lubuntu? [22:42] Lubuntu comes with scrot, and Print Screen dumps a file in your home. [22:42] theowner997_: use shutter [22:42] theowner997_: its in lubuntu software-center. very easy and nice tool [22:45] Last question : I want to play my legit copy of Counter Strike 1.6 in lubuntu , do i need any drivers or something? [22:47] theowner997_: puh i dont know if it works. but i use "play on linux" for a few windows games. but i dont know if there is a native version of cs on steam...? [22:48] counter strike 1.6 original version is supported in linux , I am just asking if any drivers are needed [22:49] theowner997_: do u have both onboard and gpu card? [22:50] I don't understand what do you mean, I have a netbook with intel atom 1.6 ghz and intel graphics 2gb of ram
