[00:28] Hi! my ati card is not working on 15.10 trying to run amdconfig --initial and getting this [00:28] Unable to open /etc/ati/control, please reinstall the driver. [00:28] aticonfig: No supported adapters detected [03:07] 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. === IdleOne is now known as Guest25649 === Guest25649 is now known as IdleOne [22:47] 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? [22:49] Glamdring: 744M is a bit oversized. will go on a DVD for sure. [22:49] Ack. I can't afford writeable DVDs. [22:49] Glamdring: the alternate is 656M, though. you could do that. [22:49] Noted, thanks. [22:49] wxl: Any idea why it's now too big for CDs? [22:49] Glamdring: there are otherways you might be able to do it. let me dig up that page [22:50] 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] Glamdring: suffice it to say, it's not the fault of LXDE. [22:50] * Glamdring nods. [22:51] So the front has, for the time being, collapsed. [22:51] hm? [22:51] The front line against the size increase. [22:51] naw, we're always pushing against it [22:51] I was aware it was something of a battle. [22:51] it's not really a "battle," per se, as there aren't "sides" [22:51] Fair enough. [22:54] 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] Glamdring: well there's no live component. if you want a rescue disk, i'd recommend finnix, personally. [22:54] Oof. [22:55] 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] I wish I were friendlier with it. [22:55] I can follow instructions well enough, but if something deviates from expectation, I'm apt to get rather lost. [22:55] hahahahah "apt" i see what you did there [22:56] I didn't even think about it! [22:56] (Though, all else fails, I could always just sudo apt-get install irssi and try to get help.) [22:56] true [22:56] the hardest part is getting the networking going [22:56] one thing that's nice about finnix is it's super easy [22:56] Bah. Darn. [22:56] it's debian based, but close enough [22:57] 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] brb [22:57] (Here's a thought, not a though. Why do I do tha?) [22:58] 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] Sadly, I obtain and lose approximately one USB stick a year. [22:59] Very good point about the plot boot CD, though. I probably have one laying around. [22:59] And if I don't, I bloody well should.
