| dax | i think this is not really on-topic for #ubuntu-discuss | 05:04 |
| lotuspsychje | good morning to all | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | the new xenial wallpapers: http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-16-04-lts-xenial-xerus-default-wallpapers-revealed-gallery-502692.shtml | 05:10 |
| Ben64 | hmm... i have an ssd in this machine now, just got a replacement | 06:26 |
| Ben64 | 240 -> 500GB.... what's the easiest way to migrate? | 06:27 |
| Ben64 | could dd the whole thing, but then i'd want to move partitions around a little | 06:27 |
| dax | dd and then do partition manipulation with gparted afterwards? | 06:28 |
| Ben64 | i suppose, but there's got to be a better way | 06:28 |
| Ben64 | make partitions, dd over grub, dd over sdx1, dd over sdx2, fsck? | 06:29 |
| dax | i usually just put in new drive and restore from backup tbh | 06:29 |
| dax | how is that easier than what i said | 06:29 |
| Ben64 | well less writes | 06:29 |
| dax | is there stuff on the source disk other than sdx1 and sdx2 | 06:29 |
| Ben64 | nope | 06:30 |
| dax | how is that less writes :\ | 06:30 |
| Ben64 | if i dd'd the whole thing over, then i'd move sdx2 start position, that's like writing sdx2 all over again | 06:30 |
| dax | oh, you want to make sdx1 bigger | 06:30 |
| Ben64 | yeah | 06:30 |
| dax | meh, it's not enough writes that i'd care personally | 06:30 |
| dax | i guess you could if you want | 06:30 |
| Ben64 | i'm the guy who actually fills up the root partition somehow | 06:30 |
| dax | i just don't have a /home partition so *shrug* | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | oh | 06:32 |
| Ben64 | new ssd is rated for 1 Petabyte of writes | 06:32 |
| Ben64 | yeah, i suppose that's fine | 06:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Ben64: wich brand did you buy? | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | samsung 850 evo | 06:35 |
| lotuspsychje | i bought the 850 pro 128gig few days ago :p | 06:35 |
| Ben64 | fancy | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | 94 euro | 06:36 |
| Ben64 | 850 evo 500GB $140 | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | neat price | 06:36 |
| Ben64 | yeah, my old 240GB one is going to my mom's computer which i'm going to revive the next couple days | 06:37 |
| lotuspsychje | also linux, or she on windows? | 06:37 |
| Ben64 | after repeatedly having to fix the windows problems on her computer, ubuntu | 06:37 |
| lotuspsychje | nicee | 06:38 |
| Ben64 | was working fine till the old 400GB sata drive died | 06:38 |
| lotuspsychje | Ben64: wich brand died? im always curious | 06:39 |
| * Ben64 walks over to it | 06:40 | |
| Ben64 | ouch, seagate | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | oh oh | 06:40 |
| Ben64 | 4th seagate to die for me in the past year? | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | what the... | 06:40 |
| Ben64 | i have lots of hard drives | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | i never had a dead seagate before weird | 06:40 |
| Ben64 | what really | 06:40 |
| Ben64 | and one folder i didn't back up properly and lost some stuff :( | 06:41 |
| dax | we stopped buying seagates at work | 06:41 |
| Ben64 | although might be able to hack a fix | 06:41 |
| dax | apparently all of our seagates died so that lotuspsychje's didn't have to | 06:41 |
| Ben64 | seems like a firmware/board/chip/something problem | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | dax: wich drives your company buys usually then? | 06:42 |
| dax | WD | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | last two drives i bought were hitachi/hgst now | 06:42 |
| dax | enterprisy ones, i forget the exact model | 06:42 |
| lotuspsychje | i had many dead WD before, wd books, and old types wd's under 100gig | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | yeah they seem to go in waves | 06:43 |
| elky | WD external stuff isn't enterprise | 06:43 |
| lotuspsychje | thats why i bought the 850 pro, 10 years warranty | 06:43 |
| Ben64 | the problem is spinny drives are just bad | 06:43 |
| Ben64 | but you can't beat that price/GB | 06:44 |
| dax | yeah, warranties on our WDs are 5 years. so we don't really care if they break | 06:44 |
| dax | plus we have more hot swaps than we can count so while they're busy overnighting to us we're fine | 06:44 |
| lotuspsychje | dax: how many gigs are those wd enterprise? | 06:44 |
| dax | 4TB | 06:45 |
| lotuspsychje | wows | 06:45 |
| lotuspsychje | big change against those oldskool wd raptors lol | 06:46 |
| lotuspsychje | laterz | 06:56 |
| Ben65 | :D 230MB/s dd from ssd1 to ssd2 | 08:01 |
| Ben64 | after a little boot-repair for some reason, it works! | 09:45 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 13:06 |
| Bashing-om | o/ BluesKaj . Top o' the morn'n to ya . | 13:09 |
| Bashing-om | !netflix | 13:10 |
| ubot5` | If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 13:10 |
| BluesKaj | Hey Bashing-om, how's things oday? | 13:25 |
| BluesKaj | today even :-) | 13:25 |
| Bashing-om | Here, and that is a good thing .. considering going back to bed and finish my nap .. that would be a good thing too . | 13:27 |
| DaniKitten | Hello | 20:18 |
| DaniKitten | Well, Tell me if this is true or false. My computer with 1 GB RAM runs Ubuntu 12.04. If I change to Lubuntu on April 2017, I will be good. True or false? | 20:20 |
| DaniKitten | With support | 20:20 |
| DaniKitten | "Good" means for me "with support" | 20:20 |
| Bashing-om | DaniKitten: " If I change to Lubuntu on April 2017," 16.04 ? | 20:22 |
| DaniKitten | The newest version on April 2017 | 20:22 |
| Ben64 | the newest version will probably be 17.04, but you'll probably want 16.04 | 20:23 |
| Bashing-om | DaniKitten: Good chance good .. but need to ask that in #ubuntu+1 channel . | 20:23 |
| DaniKitten | LTS is better | 20:23 |
| daftykins | nothing will run well on 1GB RAM | 20:23 |
| DaniKitten | Why | 20:24 |
| daftykins | because that has been a poor amount of RAM for the last x years | 20:24 |
| Ben64 | 1GB was kind of low 10 years ago | 20:24 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 20:24 |
| DaniKitten | I spend a lot of money buying a business 1 GB RAM laptop and someone says that "Nothing run well on 1 GB RAM" | 20:24 |
| daftykins | it's time to let the mini go | 20:24 |
| daftykins | a mini is *not* business. | 20:25 |
| DaniKitten | HP 2140 | 20:25 |
| DaniKitten | Tell me about it | 20:25 |
| Ben64 | oh that's slow | 20:25 |
| TJ- | depends what you want to do with it; I have perfectly usable Vaio notebooks with 384MB of RAM! | 20:25 |
| daftykins | that is a very bad netbook | 20:25 |
| Ben64 | you should look to get a better computer by april 2017 | 20:25 |
| DaniKitten | And I don't want a newer computer because some new laptops have compatibility issues with FreeDOS or DOS legacy functions | 20:26 |
| daftykins | there have been kernel regressions ruining the 945 express chipset for the last 3+ years, i don't think that machine will ever be usable again | 20:26 |
| daftykins | so keep that one around for DOS only. | 20:26 |
| DaniKitten | That's hard, because is too good for using only DOS, but is too slow to run modern OS | 20:27 |
| DaniKitten | 1 GB RAM | 20:27 |
| daftykins | yep time to retire it | 20:27 |
| DaniKitten | And was my favorite PC for a big time | 20:28 |
| DaniKitten | Except if I buy a new 2 GB RAM | 20:28 |
| DaniKitten | for my laptop | 20:28 |
| DaniKitten | Most laptops can be upgraded | 20:28 |
| Ben64 | ram isn't the only problem with it | 20:28 |
| daftykins | no it's old DDR2 so it will be prohibitively expensive, plus as i said the kernel has regressed so the motherboard chipset inside it is now useless | 20:29 |
| DaniKitten | And the manual says: "The HP Mini 2133 can use from 512 MB to 2 GB RAM. The 2140 Ran use only 1 or 2 GB RAM" | 20:29 |
| DaniKitten | And the manual says: "The HP Mini 2133 can use from 512 MB to 2 GB RAM. The 2140 can use only 1 or 2 GB RAM" | 20:29 |
| Ben64 | the cpu itself is slower than a pentium 3 | 20:29 |
| DaniKitten | Yeah... the CPU | 20:30 |
| DaniKitten | My CPU | 20:30 |
| DaniKitten | the expensive CPU now is trash | 20:30 |
| Ben64 | "expensive" | 20:30 |
| DaniKitten | About 450 US dollars | 20:32 |
| Ben64 | in 2008? | 20:33 |
| daftykins | you have enquired about this same system multiple times - and multiple users have given the same advice each time, nobody can in good conscience suggest that keeping that system for Linux use is a wise decision | 20:33 |
| DaniKitten | That PC is 2008, is a big reason for still having it | 20:33 |
| daftykins | based on what? | 20:34 |
| DaniKitten | Someday, will be known as "One of the first laptops being Mini" | 20:34 |
| DaniKitten | Just think on those PCs with 1 MB RAM or less | 20:34 |
| daftykins | i disagree, i was supporting ultraportables from Sony for years before netbooks came out | 20:34 |
| Ben64 | netbooks had a tiny window where they were worthwhile. before phones got really good, and before tablets existed | 20:34 |
| DaniKitten | Now the people spend a lot of money buying too new machines, while I better want to save money... maybe on a laptop | 20:35 |
| DaniKitten | A 2015 or older laptop because "Older is cheaper" | 20:35 |
| Ben64 | laptops aren't really good choices on saving money | 20:35 |
| DaniKitten | Yeah | 20:36 |
| daftykins | however less than $200 US can buy a far more capable system than a netbook | 20:36 |
| DaniKitten | But, I will buy a laptop, because smartphones aren't IBM PC compatible | 20:37 |
| DaniKitten | Well, thanks for the info. Bye | 20:44 |
