[00:28] <decayofmind> Hi! my ati card is not working on 15.10 trying to run amdconfig --initial and getting this
[00:28] <decayofmind> Unable to open /etc/ati/control, please reinstall the driver.
[00:28] <decayofmind> aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
[03:07] <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.
[22:47] <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?
[22:49] <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
[22:50] <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.
[22:51] <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.
[22:54] <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.
[22:55] <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
[22:56] <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
[22:57] <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?)
[22:58] <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.
[22:59] <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.
