[00:27] <kian> ianorlin or holstein? :\
[01:26] <Guest56212> i didnt give my swap partition enough room and now i need to move my linux partition, but gparted says it will fail to boot. Help please?
[01:27] <Guest56212> im trying to increase my swap partition
[01:45] <melodie> good night
[01:46] <melodie> Guest56212 don't worry about gparted saying so
[01:46] <melodie> he always does
[01:46] <melodie> just try to make your partition the same number, this means, don't recreate it if you can avoid
[01:47] <melodie> bye now
[01:49] <Guest56212> make my partition the same number?
[02:15] <holstein> kian: yes.. but, just ask what you need, and a volunteer may assist.. no need to wait on any specific individual. you can alwasy try #ubuntu if its slow here
[02:46] <puff> Good evening.
[02:46] <puff> I'm trying to install lubuntu on this old winxp laptop (dell inspiron 6000) as dual boot.
[02:46] <puff> I'm following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[02:46] <holstein> xp is EOL
[02:47] <puff> holstein: Yeah, I know.
[02:47] <puff> holstein: It's my friend's laptop.
[02:47] <puff> holstein: I'm putting lubuntu on it so he can try it out, but I don't want to wipe his old install until he's had a chacne to try it.
[02:47] <puff> I'm the "Installation type" screen, trying to figure out where/how I can resize the old partition here.
[02:47] <holstein> but, the way i do it, is.. i backup *everything* important, since *all* hard drives fail.. i plan on the total failure of the hard drive that *will* happen.. then, i shrink the partition for windows down with a live iso, using gparted.. then, i install with a normal installer on the empty space
[02:48] <puff> I tried choosing "something else" which takes me to a partitioning dialog, but that doesn't seem to allow me to shrink the existing NTFS partition, just delete it.
[02:48] <puff> Okay, so you're suggesting do the partition separately in gparted or something, then use the lubuntu installer.
[02:48] <holstein> puff: shrink manually with a live iso.. gparted
[02:48] <puff> Cool.
[02:49] <puff> Somebody else had suggested I was better off letting the installer do it, but I'm more comfortable with gparted than with random installers anyway :-).
[02:49] <puff> Okay, so it's a 60GB disk, 1 GB of RAM, so I need a 2GB swap partition and, what, 10GB for ubuntu?
[02:49] <puff> Er, lubuntu.
[02:50] <holstein> puff: you are better off removing EOL xp
[02:50] <holstein> if you dont want to do that, then, you need to have backups
[02:50] <puff> holstein: And I wish that were an option :-)
[02:50] <holstein> if you dont want to do that, then, i say dont mess with the drive at all
[02:50] <puff> holstein: But if I do that, when *anything* goes wrong it's gonna be my fault (and my problem :-)
[02:50] <puff> Okay, thanks.
[02:50] <puff> yeah, I dd'd the image.
[02:50] <holstein> if you dont want to do that, then just resize the partition with gparted
[02:51] <holstein> if you have a dd image, then, you can always simply revert
[02:51] <puff> Yeah.
[02:51] <holstein> xp is not safe to use, regarless of where this conversation goes..
[02:51] <holstein> anyways, im sure you know that
[02:51] <puff> 10GB seem like a good size for lubuntu?
[02:51] <holstein> 10 should be plenty
[02:51] <puff> cool.
[02:52] <puff> Any reason to make the swap bigger than 1GB?
[02:52] <puff> I guess 2GB is reasonable.
[02:52] <puff> Then he can suspend to disk.
[02:56] <holstein> puff: whatever is needed
[03:00] <puff> Cool, thanks for advice.

[09:02] <pusitega> command
[09:15] <pusitega> Thanks for the tip! Instead of messing with system files we can create a script in ~/bin and call it google-chrome with this inside: #!/bin/bash export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME /usr/bin/google-chrome "$@" exit 0 Now just make sure your shortcuts point either to google-chrome or ~/bin/google-chrome instead of /usr/bin/google-chrome "You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all you
[09:16] <pusitega> can someone explain this i know thet i have to use leafpad copy pasete this text
[09:16] <pusitega> but i am using chromium not google chhrome shoud i change it
[09:16] <pusitega> i want to make f magnet links work
[09:30] <pusitega> how to make chromium work whit magnet links
[17:02] <Duality> so i made a python script that is really awesome. and i want to share it with the lubuntu/ubuntu comunity :) but i don't know what forum to choose. on the ubuntu fora/forums.
[17:24] <zerothis> I plugged in my android tablet and the mount icon shows an iPoo. I know lots of complicated ways to change it to a table, android phone, or custom icon, is there a simple way?
[17:29] <ianorlin> zerothis: do you still want to use the same icon theme?
[17:30] <ianorlin> in the menu and customize look and feel you can choose a whole new theme of icons
[17:31] <ianorlin> or you would have to edit the theme files which is harder as it is just a picture
[17:31] <zerothis> I'm not attached to my current theme. I'm never using an iOS of any type and eliminated the icon is my goal. Other people see my desktop, its embarrassing but more importantly, I never want it thought I endorse iPoo
[17:33] <ianorlin> zerothis: unfortanely I don't have a smaryphone so I don't know which icon themes have a non apple one
[17:34] <ianorlin> searching icon theme in synaptic should give you a fair number of choices in the repos if you want to install more
[17:35] <zerothis> I can simply move them all to the trash, sloppy but effective. I was just hoping there was a way to id a mount as android
[17:36] <ianorlin> zerothis: you could replace the file with another icon as it is just a picture but be careful editing system files
[18:28] <uniqdom> Hi. yesteray I have installed latest Lubuntu in an old laptop. I have configured a wireless board with ndiswrapper. I'm using nm-applet to select my ssid, but it looks like if it is asking for a wep password, but it should be a wpa2 password
[18:28] <uniqdom> how to correct this behavior?
[18:29] <uniqdom> i have tryed to set the password manually in 'edit connections', but it still ask for a wep password.
[18:29] <uniqdom> i'm 100% it is a wpa2 password.
[18:29] <uniqdom> 100% sure*
[18:30] <brendanrperrine> uniqdom: do you know if the old windows driver for your laptop supports wpa2?
[18:31] <uniqdom> well is not my laptop, i will try to find out that
[18:32] <brendanrperrine> providing us with the wifi card chipset info with lspci if it is an internal card or lsusb if it is a usb dongle will allow us to search for more solutions or expirence with that particular chipset
[21:06] <NinjaKirby> So I downloaded Lubuntu via Torrent. I am having constant erroneous installations, because uTorrent decided it doesn't want to acquire a 512KB fraction of the ISO (force re-checked like 3 times now to try and recover the missing 0.1%). So I'm unfortunately going to have to drain your direct-server download.
[21:06] <holstein> !md5
[21:06] <holstein> i would check the sum, and make sure you have a good image
[21:06] <holstein> direct download should work fine
[21:06] <NinjaKirby> lol, it's definitely bad. I'm just gonna have to re-download from scratch. God damn Torrent, I thought it would be more cost-friendly for you guys, but it's torturing me.
[21:07] <holstein> its not
[21:07] <holstein> the "guys" here, just use canonical hosting.. its not "free", but its not out of pocket for anyone in this community AFAIK
[21:08] <NinjaKirby> Oh good, so I shouldn't feel too bad. I thought I was doing my part :P
[21:08] <NinjaKirby> (Trying to do my part; fak u utorrent)
