| LJSeinfeld | HI- trying to get vboxmanage to start a vm at boot.. currently via rc.local but I can't get it to work.. rc.local calls a script... the script works. and If I manually start rc.local, it works.. no idea. | 03:07 |

| Glamdring | I'm trying to write Lubuntu 15.10 amd64 to a disk, but it seems like the .iso won't fit on a CD. Am I doing something wrong, or is that actually the case? | 22:47 |
| wxl | Glamdring: 744M is a bit oversized. will go on a DVD for sure. | 22:49 |
| Glamdring | Ack. I can't afford writeable DVDs. | 22:49 |
| wxl | Glamdring: the alternate is 656M, though. you could do that. | 22:49 |
| Glamdring | Noted, thanks. | 22:49 |
| Glamdring | wxl: Any idea why it's now too big for CDs? | 22:49 |
| wxl | Glamdring: there are otherways you might be able to do it. let me dig up that page | 22:49 |
| wxl | Glamdring: we've tried to keep it cd sized with much difficulty over the years. other things add up. it kind of just is. | 22:50 |
| wxl | Glamdring: suffice it to say, it's not the fault of LXDE. | 22:50 |
| * Glamdring nods. | 22:50 | |
| Glamdring | So the front has, for the time being, collapsed. | 22:51 |
| wxl | hm? | 22:51 |
| Glamdring | The front line against the size increase. | 22:51 |
| wxl | naw, we're always pushing against it | 22:51 |
| Glamdring | I was aware it was something of a battle. | 22:51 |
| wxl | it's not really a "battle," per se, as there aren't "sides" | 22:51 |
| Glamdring | Fair enough. | 22:51 |
| Glamdring | The Alternate should suffice as a boot disk if it gets all the lappy's hardware running and I can hook it up to the network, right? | 22:54 |
| wxl | Glamdring: well there's no live component. if you want a rescue disk, i'd recommend finnix, personally. | 22:54 |
| Glamdring | Oof. | 22:54 |
| wxl | Glamdring: if you're really friendly with the command line, you can make the alternate work for your purposes, but it's not as easy. | 22:55 |
| Glamdring | I wish I were friendlier with it. | 22:55 |
| Glamdring | I can follow instructions well enough, but if something deviates from expectation, I'm apt to get rather lost. | 22:55 |
| wxl | hahahahah "apt" i see what you did there | 22:55 |
| Glamdring | I didn't even think about it! | 22:56 |
| Glamdring | (Though, all else fails, I could always just sudo apt-get install irssi and try to get help.) | 22:56 |
| wxl | true | 22:56 |
| wxl | the hardest part is getting the networking going | 22:56 |
| wxl | one thing that's nice about finnix is it's super easy | 22:56 |
| Glamdring | Bah. Darn. | 22:56 |
| wxl | it's debian based, but close enough | 22:56 |
| Glamdring | Say. Here's a though. If I have a 14.10 disk, that'll do half the job, right? Is it easy to install a more recent version from there? | 22:57 |
| wxl | brb | 22:57 |
| Glamdring | (Here's a thought, not a though. Why do I do tha?) | 22:57 |
| ianorlin | Glamdring: if you have a usb stick you could make a plop boot cd and then install from usb if your comp doesn't boot from usb natively but I don't know the whole scrollback | 22:58 |
| Glamdring | Sadly, I obtain and lose approximately one USB stick a year. | 22:58 |
| Glamdring | Very good point about the plot boot CD, though. I probably have one laying around. | 22:59 |
| Glamdring | And if I don't, I bloody well should. | 22:59 |
