[14:39] <heronimus> hello !
[14:40] <heronimus> can someone give me a idea which way to go with backup's?
[14:40] <bazhang> !sbackup
[14:41] <heronimus> i'm reseaching both a NAS option and also a mirrored usb disk
[14:41] <bazhang> alternately there is rsync
[14:42] <ObrienDave> rsync works great for file backup. only sends what has changed after initial backup
[14:42] <Walliski> Is it okay to link to commercial software, free however, here?
[14:42] <heronimus> i'm reseaching the western digital Mybook Duo
[14:44] <heronimus> and can i set it in raid config mirrored in xubuntu?
[14:44] <Walliski> Some friends are using http://www.code42.com/crashplan/ Crashplan... Both for own use, and at the company they work at
[14:45] <Walliski> Free if you use your own servers/external drives... Costs if you want to rent cloud storage
[14:45] <Walliski> Else I have also used scripts that are based on rsync, works well
[14:45] <Walliski> Have also heard that people use Bittorrent Sync
[14:45] <heronimus> sorry i'm a big noob
[14:46] <bazhang> or their linux install? thats doubtful in the extreme
[14:46] <heronimus> i'm able to install xubuntu on my new pc and use it... thats it
[14:46] <bazhang> lets try to stick to supported software suggestions here please
[14:47] <heronimus> is there a liveusb option to configure a USB disk into a safe raid configuration?
[14:47] <heronimus> can you di this with G parted?
[14:48] <heronimus> do*
[14:48] <ObrienDave> IMO it's not necessary. i use an alias script to rsync /home to 2 WD drives
[14:50] <heronimus> thanks fo the help !
[17:43] <dreamon> is there a way to hibernate xubuntu? I cant find a option
[17:46] <bekks> How large is your swap area?
[17:54] <mrkramps> dreamon, i bet you know a certain german wiki …
[18:17] <dreamon> bekks, there is no swap I think.. thank I will look at
[18:17] <bekks> No swap, no hibernation.
[18:18] <bekks> You knwo that wiki.
[19:29] <OverrRyde> hello everyone, can someone tell me if there is a way to confirm if i have xubuntu install vs normal ubuntu?
[19:30] <mrkramps> OverrRyde, right after installation or in general?
[19:30] <OverrRyde> in general, im trying to figure something out but now i cant remember if i had install xubuntu or not!
[19:30] <OverrRyde> the box is all setup and running for over 6 monthsnow
[19:31] <holstein> see if you are using xfce or not
[19:31] <OverrRyde> i am,
[19:31] <holstein> "normal" ubuntu doesnt ship xfce..
[19:31] <OverrRyde> but i cant remember if xfce would have been install over regular ubuntu, or is that not possible?
[19:31] <mrkramps> it is possible
[19:31] <holstein> yes.. xubuntu *is* ubuntu
[19:32] <mrkramps> you may check if unity is still installed
[19:33] <OverrRyde> got, will check. i understand *buntu is still ubuntu, but trying to get support in the right places, or would it not matter any *buntu would still be the same at its core?
[19:33] <mrkramps> OverrRyde, depends on your question
[19:34] <holstein> OverrRyde: try just asking, and a volunteer will either assist, or help you get where you need to be
[19:36] <OverrRyde> thanks! well in essence, the box has been running and used as home server + lamp, all running fine, however, i noticed that the install has all regular desktop apps installed, such as games, gui tools, libreoffice, etc
[19:36] <holstein> !server
[19:36] <OverrRyde> i want to strip it down to its basics without having to lose/move/reinstall lamp and other applications
[19:36] <holstein> could be, the server channel is the most appropriate, but, you simply just need to decide what you need/want, and remove what you want
[19:37] <holstein> but, you should have a backup plan.. you should plan for that hard drive *never* working again, which will happen, then, you'll be prepared to do whatever you need to do there
[19:37] <holstein> maybe that is, backing up, and reinstalling minimal, or server iso..
[19:37] <holstein> !mini
[19:38] <holstein> maybe its leaving it "as-is"", with the GUI and other tools in place, if thats what you need.. you may be assuming you would gain some sort of resource increase to the LAMP stack that may not be realistic
[19:39] <OverrRyde> yes that is exactly it, trying to free up ressources for what the box is primaraly being used for
[19:39] <holstein> you wont, for example, increase the bandwidth available to the box by removing xfce.. it could be, the GUI is *not* the bottle neck.. no doubt, you can remove it, but, it may just not be necessary, or do what you expect
[19:39] <mrkramps> the desktop environment is only started after you log in graphically
[19:39] <mrkramps> so there's no loss in memory
[19:40] <holstein> that to ^.. its not likely a bunch of things are running in the background, as it seems you are assuming
[19:40] <OverrRyde> ah ok i didnt know this, gui is never used unless i vnc into it to play around
[19:41] <holstein> if you remove the GUI you will not be able to "play around" like that.. you will only have ssh access.. headless terminal access, if you set it up that way.. which is fine, but, you may want/need the GUI
[19:41] <mrkramps> although you may check for example if zeitgeist ist running
[19:44] <OverrRyde> ok, i understand! thanks, i was then just thinking that by removing unnecessary applications it would help, but i am for sure keeping xfce around so i can still login!
[21:43] <Boogie> I have a bootable Ubuntu 12.04 portable hard drive. I use it frequently. I tried to boot it on my uncles older pc, it starts in GNU grub. It's a bash command line, I believe. Any idea how to just get it to boot?
[22:38] <xubuntu59w> can you watch Xfinity tv through hdmi
[22:38] <xubuntu59w> on vlc
