[02:48] <django_> how do i enable wifi
[02:48] <django_> onlubuntu lol
[09:38] <bdbg24> hello   I cannot put the "ISO" of lubuntu beacause the file is 744 Mo and my CD contains only 700 Mo  How may I do ?
[09:41] <bdbg24> bonjour   je ne peux pas graver l'image iso de Lubuntu car elle fait 744 Mo et mon graveur CD refuse plus de 700 Mo Comment faire Merci
[09:47] <hateball> bdbg24: Use a larger CD or use a USB storage
[09:51] <bdbg24> hateball :  thanks   I dont'have  larger CD but I will put it on USB (don't know it was possible !)
[09:52] <hateball> bdbg24: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[09:59] <bdbg24> hateball : thanks again   bye
[13:27] <intx> the settings for weather on lubuntu/lxpanel do not save, anyone know why?
[13:28] <intx> i set my location, click ok, it restarts and it's still unset
[19:25] <fennesz> Hello ! Is there a way I can view the remaining space of a partition in lubuntu?
[19:25] <bioterror> df -h
[19:25] <fennesz> bioterror, Are you referring to my question?
[19:25] <bioterror> yes
[19:27] <bioterror> and if you want to go even more hifi way, you can configure conky for your desktop
[19:29] <fennesz> bioterror, from the Disks utility I have 3 partitions listed: /dev/sda1 - filesystem , /dev/sda2 - extended partion , swap partition 5
[19:30] <fennesz> with df -h I have this output:http://pastebin.com/KXQBPHRk
[19:32] <fennesz> on /dev/sda1 I have 3% free user space and I think this might cause problems . Should I go for gparted and extend this partition?
[19:32] <fennesz> I don't know what /dev/sda2 partition is used for... This lubuntu machine is installed as a VM on vbox
[19:35] <fennesz> this is the Disks utility http://imgur.com/cVvQXPK
[19:35] <fennesz> any idea?
[19:36] <bioterror> 'lsblk' prints you your drives
[19:36] <bioterror> and what they might be
[19:37] <fennesz> bioterror, http://pastebin.com/3RsWPt6j this is the output of lsblk
[19:37] <fennesz> 4g for swap ?
[19:38] <fennesz> Wouldnt 1g suffice?
[19:38] <bioterror> it depends
[19:39] <wxl> !swap | fennesz
[19:39] <fennesz> I have given 4gb to this vm . I think this is far than enough for lubuntu isn't it?
[19:40] <epictetus> 4gb is fine
[19:40] <fennesz> for swap?
[19:40] <epictetus> yeah.
[19:41] <fennesz> ok
[19:41] <fennesz> So I have to resize vm's hard disk ?
[19:41] <bioterror> / could be a little biffer
[19:41] <epictetus> i'm guessing if you use the system a lot and check swap usage with the "free" command you'll see it's using way way less than 4gb. Probably usually using 0GB or like, 100 megs
[19:41] <epictetus> so you could go less than 4GB if you want.
[19:42] <wxl> or use no swap if you want
[19:42] <wxl> or use a swap file instead of a swap partition
[19:42] <epictetus> there's this whole "Swap should be double RAM" rule that makes no sense, I think this rule started with like, Photoshop tech support telling people this in the 90s and it somehow getting applied to every other OS since then
[19:42] <wxl> or, etc. etc. etc.
[19:42] <bioterror> if you have enough of RAM, no need for swap
[19:42] <bioterror> epictetus, it makes sense if you hibernate
[19:43] <epictetus> I like to put a tiny swap in there cuz i've got this (possibly mistaken?) belief that the linux memory manager sometimes wants a little bit of swap for no reason
[19:43] <epictetus> instead of 0
[19:43] <epictetus> bioterror: yeah but people are applying the rule to like, servers that never hibernate ever
[19:43] <fennesz> Ok let's say I dont use swap or go with 1gb or so ,can I extend my filesystem partition with that additional (swap -3gb) space , and if yes how?
[19:43] <epictetus> servers with 32GB of ram and applications that use like 4GB (so the other 28GB is being used as disk cache)
[19:44] <epictetus> and they give it 64GB of swap, and during the life of the server the most that is ever used out of that 64GB swap is like, 8MB
[19:44] <epictetus> fennesz: yeah nondestructive repartitioning tools can probably do that for you
[19:45] <epictetus> fennesz: or you can use a destructive repartitioning method where you backup the data, fix the partitions, and restore the data from backup
[19:45] <fennesz> I would like the nondestructive one :)
[19:45] <fennesz> can you name one ?
[19:46] <epictetus> well parted
[19:46] <fennesz> gparted?
[19:46] <epictetus> i think that's another ver of the same tool?
[19:47] <epictetus> there's also some commercial ones like Acronis and Paragon
[19:47] <fennesz> do you know if gparted is in lubuntu live cd included?
[19:48] <bioterror> I would probably first swapoff and remove (outcomment) the swap line from /etc/fstab
[19:48] <epictetus> fennesz: pretty sure it is? idk
[19:49] <teward> fennesz: not sure if it is, I could check by dissecting the image, but if you go into the 'try lubuntu' option which I know exists, you can connect to the net, then run `sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gparted` from the live cd terminal
[19:49] <teward> it won't stay on the disk, but...
[19:49] <teward> (you can run `apt-cache policy gparted` to see if it's installed though, before all that, in the Live session's terminal)
[19:49] <fennesz> teward , correct
[19:49] <fennesz> will do that now
[19:49] <fennesz> its a vm after all :)
[19:52] <fennesz> gparted is included in lubuntu live cd
[19:58] <fennesz> Guys , I have resized the swap partition but it is on the dev/sda2 , can I move the free disk space to dev/sda1?
[19:58] <epictetus> delete /dev/sda2
[19:58] <epictetus> resize sda1 to use the extra free space after deletign the entire sda2 partition
[19:58] <fennesz> correct ~
[20:00] <fennesz> the new swap shall be primary partition / linux-swap ,right?
[20:00] <epictetus> you don't need swap at all or you can use a swapfile (not a partition)
[20:00] <fennesz> what is the difference ?
[20:01] <epictetus> a swapfile is a file inside a filesystem that is used as swap (so instead of getting its own partition, it is just a file)
[20:01] <epictetus> there may be minor performance implications of that but they are gonna be irrelevant in this case
[20:01] <fennesz> ok , I read more about this .
[20:01] <epictetus> or just not have any swap
[20:01] <epictetus> like for instance if i did
[20:01] <fennesz> is this automatically created ?
[20:02] <epictetus> dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024
[20:02] <epictetus> that would create a 1GB empty file
[20:02] <epictetus> then i could run
[20:02] <epictetus> mkswap /swapfile
[20:02] <epictetus> which formats that file as a swapfile
[20:02] <epictetus> then
[20:02] <epictetus> swapon /swapfile
[20:02] <epictetus> activates it
[20:02] <epictetus> (or add it to /etc/fstab so it gets automatically activated during boot / by swapon -a )
[20:03] <fennesz> thank you !
[20:04] <fennesz> i will try without any swap at first, then I will do this if I encounter any performance issues
[20:04] <fennesz> thank you all guys , much appreciated !
[20:08] <fennesz> hmmm, the boot time is by far slower now !
[20:10] <epictetus> fennesz: you probably didn't delete the line in /etc/fstab pointing to the old swap partition so it hung up for a while looking for it
[20:11] <fennesz> epictetus, ok let me check this
[20:12] <Lokie> hey, how to add stuff to the startup items?
[20:12] <fennesz> epictetus, http://pastebin.com/Lyv1s5QP this is the output of fstab
[20:12] <fennesz> should I remove the line with swap ?
[20:12] <epictetus> line 11
[20:12] <epictetus> is the swap line
[20:12] <epictetus> remove that one
[20:14] <fennesz> epictetus, win!
[20:14] <fennesz> thank you very much !
[22:20] <n-iCe> Ok, now I am using lubuntu
