| harrisr | i installed dropbox what category is it under i cant find it | 02:51 |
| harrisr | i installed it but cant find it to open' | 02:51 |
| greeter | internet | 02:51 |
| harrisr | nope i checked | 02:52 |
| holstein | harrisr: did you install it? or just download the .deb? | 02:52 |
| harrisr | i installed the .deb | 02:52 |
| holstein | harrisr: you dont really "open" dropbox.. its just running in the background, syncing the folder/s you set it to sync | 02:53 |
| * ianorlin doesn't use dropbox | 02:53 | |
| harrisr | i downloaded the deb then installed it | 02:53 |
| harrisr | but it isnt showing up in the menue | 02:53 |
| holstein | alt+f2 dropbox should do what you are looking for | 02:54 |
| holstein | harrisr: its not something you start.. or launch.. you dont need a menu item for it | 02:54 |
| harrisr | so it isnt like ubuntu were you have to login | 02:54 |
| holstein | harrisr: lubuntu *is* ubuntu | 02:54 |
| holstein | harrisr: and dropbox is dropbox.. you'll have to set it up initially, which you should be able to do as i suggested above | 02:55 |
| harrisr | i did and nothing happened the run just closed | 02:55 |
| holstein | harrisr: but, you wont need an ongoing menu item for it.. since you dont "start" dropbox like that | 02:55 |
| holstein | harrisr: where did you get whatever you hav installed? the dropbox site? was it a .deb? did it say it supported the version of linux you are using? | 02:56 |
| Osmodivs | This is me: osmodivs adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape sudo audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev sambashare --- But still can't conect to a WiFi or install programs via the GUI, what can be wrong here? | 02:56 |
| harrisr | is it becuase i am running the live version from a live disk | 02:56 |
| holstein | harrisr: i woudnt want to install it in a live version | 02:57 |
| harrisr | i am running in virtual box | 02:57 |
| holstein | harrisr: from a live version, you can open a web browser, and use the dropbox web client | 02:57 |
| * ianorlin agrees with holstein on that | 02:57 | |
| holstein | harrisr: virtual or on metal, i wouldnt install dropbox in a live environment | 02:57 |
| harrisr | can i run the normal version in virtual box | 02:57 |
| holstein | harrisr: if you are asking "can i run the normal installed version of lubuntu in virtualbox?".. yes | 02:58 |
| greeter | you should be able to harrisr but you'd probably want to install it first | 02:58 |
| greeter | lubuntu i mean, install it to a virtual drive | 02:58 |
| holstein | if you are asking "can i install dropbox in a live environment?".. nothing about lubuntu is preventing that.. but, the web portal is what you want there.. | 02:59 |
| ianorlin | do you want to reinstall it every time? | 02:59 |
| holstein | reinstall, and wait for sync everytime.. not advisable | 02:59 |
| harrisr | if i take a snapshot in virtual box | 03:01 |
| holstein | harrisr: go for it.. but, its not the way to do it | 03:01 |
| harrisr | i need it in virtual box as i am trying to get dropbox referal space | 03:02 |
| holstein | harrisr: you get it by collecting referrals.. im not interested in helping you "beat the system" | 03:02 |
| Unit193 | And don't advertise in here. | 03:02 |
| holstein | harrisr: you'll follow the proceedures that they require, and you get referrals | 03:02 |
| harrisr | i dont know any other people who will use it | 03:03 |
| harrisr | join dropbox and download the program from my referral link to get 2.5 gb of free cloud storage https://db.tt/huZfKHd2 | 03:03 |
| holstein | harrisr: please use one of the offtopic channels for that.. thanks | 03:03 |
| harrisr | w2hich is | 03:04 |
| holstein | harrisr: stated clearly in the /topic as #lubuntu-offtopic ..though, its borderline appropriate there | 03:04 |
| holstein | harrisr: you might want to try a larger channel, like the #ubuntu-offtopic one. but, its just not appropriate to spam that here.. thanks for not doing it anymore | 03:05 |
| pietro10 | Hi. I have a late 2006 intel iMac; I have tried, and I am trying to at least get the LiveUSB to work. I got as far as setting up an installed system and attempting to boot it with rEFIt, but the EFI firmware threw a fit and wouldn't boot in legacy mode. I tried EFI boot ,but rEFInd wouldn't start. Now: is there a way I can boot the LiveCD image over the network with an ethernet cable? I have no way to burn discs at the present time. | 03:14 |
| pietro10 | Thanks. | 03:14 |
| holstein | pietro10: i might try and just pull the disk and take it to other hardware and set it up | 03:16 |
| holstein | the ways i think of to boot from network with that hardware would require burning another cd to point there | 03:17 |
| pietro10 | ok, thanks anyway | 03:17 |
| holstein | i used plop with my macbook.. used a usb stick as the install media and reFIT worked for me there | 03:18 |
| holstein | but, plop also needs to be burned to a disc | 03:18 |
| holstein | or.. something that the mac can boot | 03:19 |
| holstein | i would try and test the hardware though, because it sounds to me like something else could be going on there | 03:19 |

| wayne__ | hi, may i ask someone any help, i am a newbie, just installed lubuntu and drunk 23 coffees by now hu ho | 18:46 |
| ianorlin | help on what? | 18:46 |
| genii | !details | 18:47 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 18:47 |
| junka | wayne__: whats your problem please tells us | 18:49 |
| wayne__ | ok thk : | 18:51 |
| wayne__ | i just installed lubuntu, i thought there would be a dual boot but there isn't any actually. so i guess my windows stuff are erased now ?! | 18:52 |
| === TheLordOfTime is now known as teward | ||
| junka | That depends one what option you choose when you needed to make a choice. Dual boot or erase everything and install only lubuntu | 18:53 |
| wayne__ | and secondly, my cpu is supposed to be 80Go but now it seems that i only have 7Go, certainly due to my "bad" fractionning job :-S | 18:53 |
| ianorlin | this is why backups are important and there is a choice to do either | 18:53 |
| wayne__ | i didn't have any dual booting proposition when installing lubuntu | 18:54 |
| wayne__ | only fractionning, what i did so | 18:54 |
| junka | you mean you choose to do "something else" ? | 18:55 |
| wayne__ | i saved most of my stuff but not everything...it's just that i was expecting a dual boot | 18:55 |
| junka | wayne__: what windows version did u had/have | 18:56 |
| wayne__ | i have 79Go --> fraction Master Boot Record : in /boot | 18:56 |
| wayne__ | XP | 18:56 |
| wayne__ | 7,9 Go --> /root | 18:57 |
| wayne__ | and 1Go --> /swap | 18:57 |
| junka | when you open your pc | 18:58 |
| junka | you boot straight to lubuntu? | 18:58 |
| wayne__ | i yep directly on lubuntu, no choice | 18:59 |
| wayne__ | when i try to add files on my CPU it says there is no more space | 19:00 |
| wayne__ | probably the 7,9Go are full, but how come i can't use the 70 others Go ? | 19:00 |
| junka | you did the partitioning? | 19:01 |
| wayne__ | yes | 19:01 |
| ianorlin | if you open pcmanfm which looks like a folder is there anything else you can mount? | 19:01 |
| wayne__ | with LXTerminal ? | 19:03 |
| junka | no file manager pcmanfm | 19:04 |
| wayne__ | i don't have it, let me get that ! | 19:05 |
| junka | you already have it | 19:05 |
| junka | it's default on lubuntu | 19:05 |
| wayne__ | when i put anything in the trash it won't go : error in /home/wayne/.local/share/Trash no space available | 19:13 |
| wayne__ | yes thx i just noticed | 19:14 |
| wayne__ | when i click "Applications" i got an error "Erreur de cache de menu" | 19:15 |
| wayne__ | when i ask "properties" of my /, there is 8,3 Gio | 19:18 |
| wayne__ | but my CPU is 80G | 19:18 |
| wayne__ | in theory | 19:18 |
| junka | HDD not cpu | 19:19 |
| wayne__ | correct | 19:20 |
| wayne__ | my /home is 4,5 tiny Go | 19:21 |
| wayne__ | please how can i appreciate the 70 others Go ?! | 19:22 |
| wayne__ | are my old windows stuff gone forever ? | 19:22 |
| junka | it's GB not Go | 19:23 |
| junka | GigaByte | 19:24 |
| wayne__ | correct | 19:24 |
| junka | I cant tell if it's gone | 19:24 |
| wayne__ | ok | 19:24 |
| wayne__ | is there any thing i can do to know ? | 19:25 |
| junka | yes open pcmanfm | 19:25 |
| wayne__ | yes | 19:25 |
| junka | and check for partitions | 19:26 |
| junka | on Places | 19:26 |
| junka | on the left side | 19:26 |
| wayne__ | ok but my lubuntu is in french | 19:28 |
| wayne__ | i am french | 19:28 |
| wayne__ | 79G /dev/sda : ext2 /boot | 19:29 |
| wayne__ | 7,9GB /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root | 19:29 |
| wayne__ | 1,1 GB /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 | 19:30 |
| wayne__ | 260MB /dev/zram0 | 19:30 |
| wayne__ | 260MB /dev/zram1 | 19:30 |
| wayne__ | and that's it | 19:30 |
| wayne__ | the 79GB partition is a Master Boot Record, type Linux (Bootable) | 19:32 |
| wayne__ | safe disc with 50 sectors damaged | 19:32 |
| wayne__ | any comments ? | 19:33 |
| wayne__ | no one ? | 19:57 |
