| Ahmuck | hi. having trouble with printing | 01:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Ahmuck | anyting i print looks like draft mode. however it's not in draft mode | 01:14 |
| Ahmuck | i've tried three different printers | 01:14 |
| Ahmuck | all hp | 01:14 |
| Ahmuck | morever, the color is crummy, and with new cartridges | 01:14 |
| Ahmuck | so ... what in the printing system would cause this? | 01:14 |
| Ahmuck | ... using hplip | 01:14 |
| Ahmuck | let's assume the print system (hue, color, etc) has been set in the printing system. is there a way to re-set the printing system | 01:17 |
| Ahmuck | got it fixed | 01:24 |

| Tom1 | i have a problem with my flash drive, i made 3 partitions with gparted in Ubuntu, now when i connect the pendrive in windows 7 i can see only 1 partition, i can't see the rest of two partitions. | 06:55 |
| ianorlin | I think that is a windows problem | 06:56 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | windows can see only first partition | 07:07 |
| Tom1 | JohnDoe_71Rus:why? in lubuntu i can see all partitions. | 07:12 |

| JohnDoe_71Rus | http://www.prime-expert.com/articles/a05/enabling-multiple-partitions-on-removable-usb-storage-devices.php | 07:15 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | Tom1: this is windows | 07:18 |
| Tom1 | JohnDoe_71Rus: thanks for the link. | 07:19 |
| Tom1 | JohnDoe_71Rus: one more thing, if the pendrive is formatted in windows, then all of its other partitions will also get formatted or only first partition will get formatted? | 07:20 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | I do not know. You will format the partition visible? or delete all partitions | 07:31 |
| Tom1 | i mean in windows when u connect ur flash drive and click on format button, does it fformats other partitions too, | 07:33 |
| Tom1 | i will be formatting them no deleting. | 07:33 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | I think if you right click on the drive in My Computer it is formatted only visible section. | 07:44 |
| Tom1 | ok thanks for the info. | 07:44 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | The rest be found in Disk Management | 07:44 |
| Tom1 | ok | 07:45 |

| Slit | Hi! I need some help. I have installed LUbuntu 13.10 on my mac mini late 2005. I have some wifi and graphic issues. Colud someone help. | 18:15 |
| holstein | maybe.. but, probably, thats what you are going to get, whatever support you have "out of the box" there | 18:16 |
| Slit | Ok | 18:16 |
| holstein | for the graphics, i would just force a vesa driver with a custom xorg.conf.. and the wifi, i would elaborate.. or, just use something that supports linux "better" | 18:16 |
| Slit | :-) So i think I set graphic ok in this yaboot. Before LUbuntu starts I entered: Linux radeon.modeset=0 etc... | 18:17 |
| Slit | Now i would like to set it for premenently but not sure how | 18:17 |
| holstein | the way i would do it i *exactly* like this.. i custom xorg.conf specifying the vesa driver | 18:17 |
| Slit | First graphic :-) | 18:17 |
| Slit | How holstein | 18:18 |
| holstein | but, you can specify whatever is working for you in grub, for example | 18:18 |
| holstein | Slit: i create a custom xorg.conf, and put it where it goes | 18:18 |
| Slit | I am new to linux so don't know what you mean. I ahve only LUbuntu on my mac | 18:18 |
| Slit | How to do that | 18:18 |
| holstein | sure. you dont need anything else on the mac | 18:18 |
| Slit | Greate | 18:19 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270209 for example | 18:19 |
| Slit | how to set xorg | 18:19 |
| holstein | Slit: you do it by putting a custom file in place.. one like the one i linked above | 18:19 |
| Slit | Ok a minute please | 18:19 |
| holstein | Slit: you will try it. put it in place, and know how to remove it, if its not working for you.. then, move on to other options | 18:20 |
| holstein | you will not spend over 10 minutes on this | 18:20 |
| Slit | holstein I this folder etc/x11 ther is now xorg.conf | 18:21 |
| Slit | so I just put that file | 18:22 |
| Slit | ther in taht fodler | 18:22 |
| holstein | Slit: just relax, and try typing slowly | 18:22 |
| Slit | :-) | 18:22 |
| Slit | sorry | 18:22 |
| Slit | no xorx.conf in folder etc/x11 | 18:22 |
| holstein | etc/x11 actually doesnt exist.. its etc/X11 | 18:23 |
| Slit | so I just put this custome filde that i made in that folder right | 18:23 |
| Slit | yes X11 | 18:23 |
| holstein | Slit: and, you should know how to get to tty, or remove it from a live CD | 18:23 |
| holstein | this is something you can easily put in place and test.. and remove | 18:23 |
| holstein | !tty | 18:23 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 18:23 |
| Slit | I will use live cd to remove it if it doesnt' work | 18:24 |
| Slit | holstein do you know how to set wifi | 18:26 |
| holstein | Slit: graphics first.. | 18:28 |
| holstein | Slit: could be, as i said, that the wifi is not suppting linux | 18:29 |
| Slit | ok holstein I will now reboot right? | 18:29 |
| holstein | Slit: thats how i would test the xorg.conf | 18:31 |
| Slit | OK :-) I know I look dumb but if you are new to linux have to ask everything :-) | 18:32 |
| holstein | Slit: no, you dont look "dumb" at all | 18:32 |
| Slit | see you in 10 minuts :-) | 18:32 |
| holstein | you look mis-informed | 18:32 |
| Slit | :-) | 18:32 |
| holstein | you were never prmoised linux support for that hardware | 18:32 |
| Slit | So, nothnig officilay | 18:33 |
| holstein | you are basically taking on the job that apple did... they took that hardware and provided OSX support for you | 18:33 |
| holstein | you are saying "i will provide support for linux for my hardware".. and these are the steps | 18:33 |
| ianorlin | the 2005 mac mini is powerpc right? | 18:33 |
| holstein | yup | 18:33 |
| Slit | yes | 18:33 |
| holstein | PPC is already problematic.. | 18:33 |
| Slit | in 10 minuts guys | 18:34 |
| Slit | :-) It works | 18:37 |
| Slit | thank you holstein | 18:38 |
| holstein | Slit: ok.. what wifi hardware? | 18:38 |
| holstein | !wifi | Slit | 18:39 |
| ubottu | Slit: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 18:39 |
| holstein | you can use lspci and/or lsusb in a terminal and paste output to.. | 18:39 |

| Slit | Ok wher and what sholud I write for wifi | 18:39 |
| holstein | Slit: read above | 18:40 |
| holstein | Slit: open a terminal.. meaning, click on terminal in the menu | 18:40 |
| holstein | type, or copy paste.. | 18:40 |
| Slit | Yes :-) | 18:40 |
| holstein | ifconfig | 18:40 |
| Slit | minute | 18:40 |
| holstein | lspci | 18:40 |
| holstein | lsusb | 18:40 |
| holstein | if you dont konw, or dont want to bother figuring out what is what by reading the wifi articles, paste the output where indicated, so that all volunteers may read | 18:41 |
| Slit | holstein i get lsusb | 18:42 |
| Slit | unknow host | 18:42 |
| holstein | Slit: im not following you, friend | 18:44 |
| holstein | Slit: close *everything* | 18:44 |
| holstein | Slit: open *only* a terminal.. and type "ifconfig".. and press the enter key | 18:45 |
| Slit | I write ifconfig lspci lsusb and then I get lsusb: unknown host | 18:45 |
| holstein | Slit: ok | 18:45 |
| Eschaton | hey guys - new lubuntu user here and lover of the distro - does anyone know if the Disks utility lubuntu 13.10 comes with can create ramdisks? I've noticed that it can see the ram sticks and treat them like drives so... | 18:45 |
| holstein | Slit: how about after you close that, and everything else as instructed? and open a terminal and type "ifconfig" ? | 18:45 |
| Eschaton | would try it right now myself except I don't have the machine on hand | 18:45 |
| Slit | Ok i typed if config | 18:46 |
| Slit | holstein | 18:46 |
| holstein | Slit: then, you did not follow instuction | 18:46 |
| holstein | Slit: if you typed "if config", i asked that you type "ifconfig" | 18:46 |
| Slit | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6921474/ | 18:46 |
| holstein | Eschaton: when you get it, come and ask again what you need, specifically | 18:47 |
| Slit | text for ifconfig | 18:47 |
| Eschaton | well, I thought I just did. not sure how I can get more specific than that | 18:47 |
| holstein | Slit: so, your wifi hardware is not showing up.. do the same with the command "lspci" please | 18:47 |
| Eschaton | after all, Disks is a GUI program | 18:47 |
| holstein | Eschaton: you have noticed that "it" can see "ram sticks" ? | 18:47 |
| holstein | Eschaton: you are trying to use a USB stick? | 18:48 |
| Eschaton | sorry, I can clarify | 18:48 |
| holstein | Eschaton: you would have to, and have the machine here, ideally | 18:48 |
| Slit | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6921483/ | 18:48 |
| Slit | for holstein | 18:48 |
| holstein | Eschaton: otherwise, as a volunteer, im not interested in speculating right now, without the hardware here | 18:48 |
| Eschaton | I meant "Disks" the program that ships with lubuntu (other than gparted), and I'm referring to the memory modules, not any kind of flash storage. | 18:48 |
| Eschaton | That's fine, was just wondering if anyone had ever tried it. | 18:49 |
| holstein | !ramdisk | 18:49 |
| holstein | http://www.linuxscrew.com/2010/03/24/fastest-way-to-create-ramdisk-in-ubuntulinux/ | 18:49 |
| Eschaton | yeah, i figured as much. oh well. Thought it would be a nice shortcut, lol | 18:50 |
| Eschaton | thanks man! | 18:50 |

| holstein | and see if the proprietary blob that can be added can support your device | 18:50 |
| Slit | Ok holstein and ubottu | 18:50 |
| holstein | Slit: ubottu is just a bot | 18:51 |
| Slit | I am dumb, you know :-) | 18:51 |
| holstein | mis-informed * | 18:51 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter is where i woul start | 18:52 |
| Slit | ok pleas be with me in this :-) | 18:52 |
| holstein | Slit: ? | 18:53 |
| Slit | Just stay till I hope install this, for help :-) | 18:53 |
| Slit | Ok it is instlled | 18:53 |
| Slit | But no wifi network | 18:54 |
| holstein | you may need to reboot to make the module work.. or, it may not work at all with that hardware | 18:54 |
| Slit | Anything else before I reboot | 18:54 |
| holstein | you should already be rebooted and testing | 18:56 |
| Slit | minute | 18:57 |
| Slit | i will now | 18:57 |
| Eschaton | anyone here ever taken a look at synkron? | 18:58 |
| holstein | !info synkron | 18:58 |
| ubottu | Package synkron does not exist in saucy | 18:58 |
| Eschaton | http://synkron.sourceforge.net/ | 18:59 |
| Eschaton | been using it on my windows box, quite nice | 18:59 |
| holstein | !info grsync | 18:59 |
| ubottu | grsync (source: grsync): GTK+ frontend for rsync. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.4-1 (saucy), package size 151 kB, installed size 661 kB | 18:59 |
| Eschaton | planning to use it to back up my ramdisk when I get that setup on my linux server | 19:00 |
| holstein | handy | 19:00 |
| Eschaton | yes indeed | 19:00 |
| Slit | holstein, no wifi | 19:00 |
| Eschaton | and I'll take a look at gsync, it looks more amenable to commandline | 19:00 |
| Eschaton | or rather rsync does | 19:01 |
| holstein | Slit: i typically just dont use broadcom.. but, there are other pacakges listed at the help site i gave that you can try | 19:01 |
| holstein | !broadcom | Slit | 19:01 |
| ubottu | Slit: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 19:01 |
| Slit | OK | 19:02 |
| holstein | Eschaton: grsync is just a gui for rsync | 19:02 |
| Slit | just like it says | 19:02 |
| Eschaton | yes that's why i amended what i said | 19:02 |
| Eschaton | rsync would be the program I'd use in commandline | 19:02 |
| Slit | would be an conflcit with first driver tha i install | 19:02 |
| Slit | holstein I would use this: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer | 19:03 |
| Slit | ok? | 19:03 |
| holstein | Slit: you could, if you feel like you have read and determined that that would support your device | 19:04 |
| holstein | Slit: its not doing to break anything to try it, and to remove the other one, since it dosnt work | 19:04 |
| Slit | I don't know it is just luck | 19:04 |
| Slit | Ok | 19:04 |
| Slit | I will try everythnig | 19:05 |
| Slit | see you in 10 | 19:05 |
| Eschaton | the only question for me now, is what to do with the other 10-11 threads I will have available on this W3680 I found in the trash last week ^ | 19:05 |
| Eschaton | hehe | 19:06 |
| Eschaton | hi | 19:08 |

| ROP | just came to see if lubutu had a chanel | 19:08 |

| ROP | cool | 19:09 |
| Eschaton | well, the gentleman/woman by the handle holstein did | 19:09 |

| ROP | ok | 19:09 |
| Eschaton | oh sorry, i thought this WAS the off-topic channel | 19:09 |
| Eschaton | adios | 19:09 |
| RileyGuy | Hello, Is this where I can get some help on installing lubuntu? | 19:19 |
| Slit | holstein I did it :-) it's working | 19:21 |
| Slit | wfi :-) | 19:21 |
| RileyGuy | I am having issues whilst installing lubuntu 13.10, whenever I finish setting up all the settings and stuff, it stalls while installing and just sits there, the cd doesn't spin, and the hdd light doesn't flash, I also cannot check the console to see what it is doing, any help? :) | 19:23 |
| ianorlin | are you saying it stalls after you enter all the settings and then the cd stops spinning? | 19:24 |
| RileyGuy | ianorlin: Yeah, after its all set up and showing me all the stuff with the slides and saying enjoy, it just stops spinning and nothing happens | 19:25 |
| ianorlin | have you tried hitting control alt f1? | 19:26 |
| RileyGuy | what would that do? | 19:26 |
| ianorlin | get to a command line interface | 19:26 |
| RileyGuy | ok | 19:26 |
| RileyGuy | im at the terminal interface | 19:26 |
| RileyGuy | just says lubuntu@lubuntu | 19:26 |
| RileyGuy | im trying to install it on my compaq presario, and then switch the hdd over to my mac, because my mac doesn't like cd-ew | 19:27 |
| genii | If I recall, the 4th console is error output | 19:27 |
| RileyGuy | rw * | 19:27 |
| ianorlin | ah yeah hit control alt f4 that will bring you to error console sorry | 19:28 |
| RileyGuy | nothins there | 19:28 |
| RileyGuy | says the same thing | 19:28 |
| RileyGuy | lubuntu@lubuntu | 19:28 |
| RileyGuy | maybe it's because I downloaded the mac version of lubuntu for amd64x? | 19:29 |
| RileyGuy | I wish for it to work on a mac | 19:29 |
| RileyGuy | by my mac hates cd-rw | 19:29 |
| RileyGuy | it eats it | 19:29 |
| RileyGuy | and then throws it back up | 19:29 |
| ianorlin | are you sure the cd -rw drive works? | 19:29 |
| RileyGuy | yes, it works with cd-roms and cd-r | 19:30 |
| RileyGuy | but not RW | 19:30 |
| RileyGuy | Should I try rewriting the cd with the regular amd64x version of lubuntu? | 19:31 |
| ianorlin | maybe try entering top into the command line and see what process are active | 19:31 |
| RileyGuy | ok | 19:31 |
| RileyGuy | um | 19:32 |
| RileyGuy | there are alot | 19:32 |
| RileyGuy | I can't list all of them | 19:32 |
| RileyGuy | I'm going to try and blank the cd and rewrite it with the regular version of lubuntu | 19:34 |
| ianorlin | !md5sum | 19:37 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 19:37 |
| ianorlin | make sure the download is good before | 19:37 |
| RileyGuy | It seems good | 19:38 |
| RileyGuy | Why do you have to verify that the MD5 is good? | 19:40 |
| ianorlin | too make sure there isn't an error with downloaded file so you don't keep trying to burn a bad download to a disk | 19:41 |
| RileyGuy | oh | 19:45 |
| RileyGuy | will the regular ubuntu 64x work on a macbook pro 11" | 19:59 |
| RileyGuy | lubuntu * | 19:59 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: nothing here is preventing that | 19:59 |
| RileyGuy | oh ok | 19:59 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: if it supports 64bit OS's, then it should | 19:59 |
| RileyGuy | alright | 19:59 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: if the hardware supports linux, it should | 19:59 |
| RileyGuy | because my mac hates cd-rw, and so i tried the mac version on pc and it sorta flopped | 20:00 |
| RileyGuy | thanks | 20:00 |
| holstein | if its an intel mac, you can take the hard drive to another box and install.. that should work fine | 20:00 |
| holstein | though, on my intel mac, i used re-fit | 20:00 |
| holstein | my internal optical drive is also "shot".. so, i use plop to boot the CD just long enough to point to USB for installation | 20:01 |
| diecastarts | Hello, having a small problem here running 32 bit programs on 64bit. all the info i found says to install 32bit libs but ia32libs is no more. but should I then install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 packages or read most on something i seen called multiarch ???? | 20:57 |
| diecastarts | read more* | 20:58 |
| holstein | !info ia32libs | 20:58 |
| ubottu | Package ia32libs does not exist in saucy | 20:58 |
| holstein | !info ia32lib | 20:58 |
| ubottu | Package ia32lib does not exist in saucy | 20:58 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/359156/how-do-you-run-a-32-bit-program-on-a-64-bit-version-of-ubuntu looks like what i remember doing | 20:59 |
| genii | sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 | 21:00 |
| * genii goes back to staring at the coffeepot | 21:00 | |
| diecastarts | ok tried that last command genii and not sure if it did a thing | 21:05 |
| holstein | it should pull in what you need | 21:05 |
| RileyGuy | holstein: It seems to not be working again :< | 21:06 |
| RileyGuy | i've tried both the mac tweaked version, and the regular x64 version | 21:06 |
| genii | diecastarts: After you add a new architecture, you have to do again: sudo apt-get update ... and it will get now the i386 lists of packages as well as the amd64 ones. If you do after that: sudo apt-get upgrade ...it should pull in all the apps of 32bit you already have for 64bit | 21:06 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: sure.. i would expect a constant battle with that system | 21:06 |
| * genii thinks the coffeepot might be almost ready now | 21:06 | |
| RileyGuy | holstein: Its a compaq presario | 21:07 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: i read, macbook | 21:07 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: anyways, that wont require the mac version | 21:07 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: is it 64bit? | 21:07 |
| RileyGuy | yes, it seems to like 64 ubunutu, but not lubuntu | 21:07 |
| RileyGuy | it refuses to install | 21:08 |
| RileyGuy | and i hear lubuntu is really good | 21:08 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: im not following | 21:08 |
| RileyGuy | ok | 21:08 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: lubuntu *is* ubuntu | 21:08 |
| RileyGuy | lemme start from the beginning | 21:08 |
| genii | diecastarts: Then in the future, when you want to install ony the 32bit version of instance you do: sudo apt-get install packagename=i386 | 21:08 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: if you have 64 bit ubuntu installed, just install lxde, or if you want to "switch" install "lubuntu-desktop" | 21:08 |
| RileyGuy | oh. | 21:09 |
| RileyGuy | oh. | 21:09 |
| RileyGuy | ._. | 21:09 |
| diecastarts | I guess i should say i am trying to play steam games on my 64bit linux | 21:09 |
| RileyGuy | *tableflip* | 21:09 |
| RileyGuy | should i also mention, that it says failed to mount ext2 filesystem or something? | 21:09 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: i would need an exact error message.. could be permissions or bad hardware or anything | 21:11 |
| diecastarts | well thats not working for what i need. so going to try these lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 .. | 21:15 |
| RileyGuy | hmm | 21:15 |
| genii | diecastarts: You might also want to pop into #ubuntu-steam and ask around :) | 21:15 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/257084/how-do-i-install-steam-on-a-64bit-system | 21:15 |
| diecastarts | oh thank you | 21:15 |
| RileyGuy | i just popped in my ubuntu LTS cd and it said error reading sector ##### <-- numbers and then proceeded to boot | 21:15 |
| holstein | thought, its what genii already suggested, it seems | 21:16 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: you said the cd drive was bad.. or i thought you did | 21:16 |
| RileyGuy | i never said the drive was bad on my compaq | 21:16 |
| RileyGuy | i said it was spitting out cd-rw's on my mac | 21:17 |
| RileyGuy | i have 2 computers | 21:17 |
| RileyGuy | mac | 21:17 |
| RileyGuy | and a compaq | 21:17 |
| RileyGuy | im trying to install ubuntu on my compaq | 21:17 |
| RileyGuy | and then switch the hdd over to my mac | 21:17 |
| RileyGuy | cuz mavericks sucks | 21:17 |
| holstein | nice plan | 21:18 |
| RileyGuy | thanks | 21:18 |
| RileyGuy | maverdicks just HAD to screw up my java | 21:19 |
| RileyGuy | and mac is just too compicated | 21:19 |
| RileyGuy | complicated * | 21:19 |
| holstein | java was disabled, afAIK | 21:19 |
| holstein | and should be.. in the browser | 21:19 |
| RileyGuy | nope | 21:19 |
| holstein | i mean, im glad you are here, and trying to use linux, but you are not having a mac issue, if your issue is with java.. and those same issues might come with you in linux | 21:19 |
| RileyGuy | nah, i got a server running on my laptop with terrible graphics card | 21:20 |
| diecastarts | small question. if i apt-get install something that already installed will that put doubles or mess up things in anyway | 21:20 |
| RileyGuy | no | 21:20 |
| RileyGuy | it should say that it is already installed | 21:20 |
| RileyGuy | and nothing will happen | 21:20 |
| RileyGuy | to my knowledge anyways | 21:20 |
| RileyGuy | i've tried and it said that anyways | 21:20 |
| RileyGuy | so i shouldn't see why it would for you | 21:21 |
| RileyGuy | T_T | 21:21 |
| RileyGuy | um | 21:21 |
| RileyGuy | well | 21:21 |
| diecastarts | yep says i have it | 21:21 |
| RileyGuy | it seems its my harddrive thats causing issues | 21:21 |
| RileyGuy | it keeps saying that it failed to create an ext2 filesystem | 21:21 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: sounds plausible.. i would test them and the ram.. | 21:21 |
| RileyGuy | crap | 21:22 |
| RileyGuy | i don't have any extra hdd's | 21:22 |
| RileyGuy | and my last one i broke with a magnet | 21:22 |
| RileyGuy | STUPID STUPID STUPID | 21:22 |
| diecastarts | did ya try Gparted | 21:22 |
| RileyGuy | ._. | 21:22 |
| RileyGuy | ok | 21:23 |
| RileyGuy | i will | 21:23 |
| holstein | i would test.. i use gsmartcontrol as root | 21:23 |
| RileyGuy | can i hook up my hdd to a sata to usb connector and use gparted from an ubuntu i already have? | 21:24 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: nothing about linux or ubuntu/lubuntu is preventing that | 21:25 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: though, gparted is a partition editior.. and, i suggest testing with a testing tool... i use gsmartcontrol as root | 21:26 |
| RileyGuy | ok | 21:27 |
| RileyGuy | ill try | 21:27 |
| RileyGuy | this is way more complicated than it needs to be -.- | 21:28 |
| RileyGuy | ohhh ho ho | 21:28 |
| RileyGuy | theres an ! next to the drive | 21:28 |
| RileyGuy | probably needs a reformatting | 21:28 |
| RileyGuy | wait | 21:30 |
| RileyGuy | does ubuntu use ext2? or ext4? | 21:30 |
| ianorlin | ext4 for recent versions | 21:31 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: bad/failing hardware can be complex to diagnose | 21:32 |
| holstein | the installer will offer to do it automatically | 21:32 |
| RileyGuy | yeah. its the disk | 21:32 |
| RileyGuy | it won't reformat to ext2 | 21:32 |
| RileyGuy | crap | 21:32 |
| holstein | you are making assumptions til you test it | 21:32 |
| ianorlin | Note if you can boot from usb you might be able to get another computer if you buy an a new hard drive or if the connectors are old an extenral one | 21:33 |
| RileyGuy | ok | 21:35 |
| RileyGuy | ill test it | 21:35 |
| RileyGuy | but im sure of it | 21:35 |
| genii | diecastarts: If you want to reinstall something over top of the one already installed: sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename | 21:36 |
| RileyGuy | holstein: in the mean time, while its testing, what are your thoughts on google fiber? | 21:36 |
| holstein | RileyGuy: i think its offtopic for this channel, and i might discuss in #lubuntu-offtopic :) | 21:37 |
| RileyGuy | oh | 21:37 |
| RileyGuy | :P | 21:37 |
| RileyGuy | ill go there too | 21:37 |
| RileyGuy | how do i open new tabs in freenode irc | 21:38 |
| RileyGuy | dangit | 21:38 |
| RileyGuy | off topic again | 21:38 |
| RileyGuy | nvm | 21:38 |
| holstein | should be /join #lubuntu-offtopic | 21:39 |

| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 21:42 |
