[06:25] <bernierunns> Anyone want to help a noob boot lubuntu on an old toshiba xp machine?
[06:26] <bernierunns> It keeps locking up.
[06:26] <ianorlin> how much ram does it have and are you using desktop or alternate installer?
[06:27] <ianorlin> have you made sure the image is good?
[06:29] <bernierunns> Not sure about the RAM, I'm trying to get something to boot on it. XP is in a loop and not booting so I am trying to install Lubuntu from a dvd.
[06:29] <ianorlin> are you sure it has dvd drive?
[06:29] <bernierunns> yes
[06:29] <ianorlin> and not just cd
[06:29] <ianorlin> can you get into bios?
[06:30] <bernierunns> It says DVD on it, so I am assuming.
[06:30] <bernierunns> How might I do that?
[06:30] <ianorlin> you need that to change boot order to boot off dvd
[06:31] <bernierunns> ok,  I have done that. I get to the screen where it says "Lubuntu" and has the little loading dots, or status dots. It locks up there
[06:32] <bernierunns> Should I try it off a thumb drive?
[06:32] <ianorlin> xp might not boot off sub
[06:32] <ianorlin> usb
[06:32] <bernierunns> ok
[06:33] <bernierunns> I am trying Lubuntu because I ran into issues with PXE
[06:33] <bernierunns> Googled a distro that might work and Lubuntu popped up as an option.
[06:33] <ianorlin> do you get to a menu where it says try lubuntu
[06:33] <ianorlin> or select a language
[06:34] <ianorlin> try the alternate installer maybe
[06:35] <bernierunns> I did once. It asked if I wanted to try it first. I did the live version first. It ran ok. So then I rebooted and tried to install over windows Let it run for 6 hours and it locked up somewhere around the 2 hour mark.
[06:36] <bernierunns> ok, I am at the select language screen
[06:37] <bernierunns> "Try Lunbutu without installing" etc menu
[06:37] <bernierunns> what do?
[06:39] <ianorlin> run test disk for defects to make sure it is good
[06:39] <bernierunns> ok
[06:46] <bernierunns> "Check Finished: Errors found in 1 files!"
[17:17] <newbooter> I would like to run benchmark on my disks, but there is a bug that prevents benchmark in Disks from running on 32-bit systems: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081019
[17:17] <newbooter> Does anyone know of an alternative?
[17:18] <ianorlin> !info phoronix-test-suite
[17:19] <ianorlin> that has lots of benchmarks but not entirely sure of all of them
[17:20] <newbooter> Thank you ianorlin; will look into that.
[17:26] <newbooter> Just noticed I have a scary warning in Synaptic: Broken depencency: linux-generic Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers3.16.0.30.31
[17:27] <newbooter> Tried re-install with Synaptic and got error: E: Internal Error, No file name for linux-generic:i386
[17:27] <newbooter> What would be the best way to fix this?
[17:30] <newbooter> Is this really the actual kernel file? I presume removing it via Synaptic is not an option? Or will there be a fallback to a previous version if I do that?
[17:40] <MrPytanie> I hadn't installed lubuntu yet. I have 2 GB ram in my netbook. I heard that lubuntu may be run with just 128MB I just need system to run whonix (both gateway and workstation) on VritualBox. But for run whonix I need nearly 2GB ram. So there is my question whould it work on celan lubuntu? I mean would lubuntu still use so small memory amount if it get access to more?
[17:41]  * ianorlin doesn't know what whonix is
[17:46] <gebjgd> MrPytanie, you have to try
[17:59] <newbooter> uname -4 says 3.16.0-23-generic. Does that mean I can safely remove the package from Synaptic?
[19:13] <PanKtos> I just installed lubuntu on my msi wind u135dx and it doesn't see my touchpad. How to fix it?
[19:18] <PanKtos> I guess that I need driver for this, but how to install it without using mouse? I don't have one. Now i'm writing from other system. Is it possible to install driver for 'ubuntu without using mouse? Or from other system?
[20:37] <tex33> if anybody is about can I get some quick advise? :)
