[02:05] <harrisr> hey
[02:06] <harrisr> join dropbox and download the program from my referral link to get 2.5 gb of free cloud storage     https://db.tt/huZfKHd2
[02:19] <ianorlin> !list
[02:51] <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
[02:52] <harrisr> nope i checked
[02:52] <holstein> harrisr: did you install it? or just download the .deb?
[02:52] <harrisr> i installed the .deb
[02:53] <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
[02:54] <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
[02:55] <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
[02:56] <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
[02:57] <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
[02:58] <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
[02:59] <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
[03:01] <harrisr> if i take a snapshot in virtual box
[03:01] <holstein> harrisr: go for it.. but, its not the way to do it
[03:02] <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
[03:03] <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
[03:04] <harrisr> w2hich is
[03:04] <holstein> harrisr: stated clearly in the /topic as #lubuntu-offtopic ..though, its borderline appropriate there
[03:05] <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
[03:14] <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.
[03:16] <holstein> pietro10: i might try and just pull the disk and take it to other hardware and set it up
[03:17] <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
[03:18] <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
[03:19] <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
[14:27] <hoijui> my netbook freezes every other time it turnes the screen back on (after beeing idle for soem time)
[14:28] <hoijui> i went to power manager and set blank screen and turn of screen time both to "Never" when on ASC power
[14:28] <hoijui> AC*
[14:28] <hoijui> it still turns the screen off, and freezes
[14:28] <hoijui> are there multiple things running in lubuntu that turn off the screen? where else then in power manager would i have to change it?
[18:46] <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?
[18:47] <genii> !details
[18:49] <junka> wayne__: whats your problem please tells us
[18:51] <wayne__> ok thk :
[18:52] <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 ?!
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <wayne__> i didn't have any dual booting proposition when installing lubuntu
[18:54] <wayne__> only fractionning, what i did so
[18:55] <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
[18:56] <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
[18:57] <wayne__> 7,9 Go --> /root
[18:57] <wayne__> and 1Go --> /swap
[18:58] <junka> when you open your pc
[18:58] <junka> you boot straight to lubuntu?
[18:59] <wayne__> i yep directly on lubuntu, no choice
[19:00] <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 ?
[19:01] <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?
[19:03] <wayne__> with LXTerminal ?
[19:04] <junka> no file manager pcmanfm
[19:05] <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
[19:13] <wayne__> when i put anything in the trash it won't go :  error in /home/wayne/.local/share/Trash no space available
[19:14] <wayne__> yes thx i just noticed
[19:15] <wayne__> when i click "Applications" i got an error "Erreur de cache de menu"
[19:18] <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
[19:19] <junka> HDD not cpu
[19:20] <wayne__> correct
[19:21] <wayne__> my /home is 4,5 tiny Go
[19:22] <wayne__> please how can i appreciate the 70 others Go ?!
[19:22] <wayne__> are my old windows stuff gone forever ?
[19:23] <junka> it's GB not Go
[19:24] <junka> GigaByte
[19:24] <wayne__> correct
[19:24] <junka> I cant tell if it's gone
[19:24] <wayne__> ok
[19:25] <wayne__> is there any thing i can do to know ?
[19:25] <junka> yes open pcmanfm
[19:25] <wayne__> yes
[19:26] <junka> and check for partitions
[19:26] <junka> on Places
[19:26] <junka> on the left side
[19:28] <wayne__> ok but my lubuntu is in french
[19:28] <wayne__> i am french
[19:29] <wayne__> 79G /dev/sda    :    ext2 /boot
[19:29] <wayne__> 7,9GB /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root
[19:30] <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
[19:32] <wayne__> the 79GB partition is a Master Boot Record, type Linux (Bootable)
[19:32] <wayne__> safe disc with 50 sectors damaged
[19:33] <wayne__> any comments ?
[19:57] <wayne__> no one ?
