[10:19] <uBUXUBu> good morning technicians
[12:59] <bassmax> Hi all, I'm wondering where to find the menu file configuration in saucy flavour ?
[13:00] <bassmax> goal : backup actual one and user-wise editing one (for grandpa!)
[13:02] <bassmax> the ones in /etc/xdg/menus not refers to the one used
[14:14] <koell> What are the advantages/disadvantages of different partitions on a NAS?
[14:15] <rosemball> what are you trying to do with your NAS?
[14:16] <koell> rosemball: streaming and backups are the main purposes of the nas
[14:17] <rosemball> so you want different partitions for your media and backups?
[14:17] <koell> rosemball: thats the plan. idk if it's a good idea...
[14:18] <rosemball> What raid setup are you using?
[14:19] <koell> rosemball: no raid. just one external hard drive on my pi. its more like a low end nas.
[14:23] <rosemball> well, I think you would be better off with only one partition
[14:25] <rosemball> 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] <rosemball> 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] <koell> rosemball: great, thank you for your help! i'll prefer this too. it's much more simpler and cleaner solution.
[14:35] <rosemball> koell, you're welcome
[14:37] <koell> 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] <rosemball> yes, it is possible
[14:43] <rosemball> you want to mount it on your NAS or directly on your pc?
[18:47] <ddsss> so - does anyone know how long will it take for lxde to switch to qt?
[18:50] <ianorlin> It will take longer than until April for lubuntu to switch and 14.10 at the earliest it is not stable yet
[18:51] <ianorlin> there is a way to build it from source on the lxde blog but is not stable
[18:52] <ddsss> ianorlin, but it's a definitive switch - right. LXDE is definitely switching to qt- the question is just in timing - right?
[19:25] <ianorlin> yes
[19:46] <bassmax> Hi. Try to make my own .desktop with Type=Link, but failed to add it with existings applet of lxpanel. Any clue ?
[20:15] <ohhmaar> So i installed 32bit lubuntu 13.10 on this old desktop, and when I boot I am presented a "Localhost login" screen
[20:15] <ohhmaar> I have tried the username/password i setup during the installation
[20:15] <ohhmaar> Doesn't work
[20:15] <ohhmaar> Anyone know the default? whats the workaround for this?
[20:20] <ianorlin> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[20:24] <ohhmaar> I don't think that applies to me
[20:24] <ohhmaar> upon boot i see this ubuntu 13.10 local host.localdomain tty1
[20:26] <ianorlin> can you log into that?
[20:26] <ianorlin> what kind of graphics card?
[20:26] <ianorlin> !nomodeset
[20:27] <ianorlin> what does hitting control alt f7 do?
[20:27] <ohhmaar> i cannot login, it's an old pc, amd athlon xp
[20:27] <ohhmaar> processor
[20:27] <ohhmaar> altf7 removes the screen and i get command line
[20:27] <ohhmaar> but i cannot type anything
[20:28] <ianorlin> are you sure you installed from a good disk?
[20:29] <ohhmaar> yes, ill try once more. maybe this pc can't handle lubuntu? i have yet to try puppy linux
[20:29] <ianorlin> not install but there is a testdisk option on the disk
[20:29] <ohhmaar> oh yes it passed the tests
[20:30] <ianorlin> hmm not sure then
[20:31] <ohhmaar> recommend any other distros?
[22:41] <theowner997_> Anyone knows how can I take screenshots in Lubuntu?
[22:42] <Unit193> Lubuntu comes with scrot, and Print Screen dumps a file in your home.
[22:42] <koell> theowner997_: use shutter
[22:42] <koell> theowner997_: its in lubuntu software-center. very easy and nice tool
[22:45] <theowner997_> 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] <koell> 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] <theowner997_> counter strike 1.6 original version is supported in linux , I am just asking if any drivers are needed
[22:49] <koell> theowner997_: do u have both onboard and gpu card?
[22:50] <theowner997_> I don't understand what do you mean, I have a netbook with intel atom 1.6 ghz and intel graphics 2gb of ram
