=== bipul_ is now known as bipul [01:38] maybe not the right place to ask: i made a bootable stick with unetbootin of lubuntu 16.04... now i gave it 1gig of extra space to save things... are updates to that system being saved additional or are those taking the place of the older ones? i hope the lather.. otherwise it would take unescesarry space and perhaps even boottime? [01:39] Newk: so you created the USB stick with persistence? [01:42] yes [01:42] i think so [01:43] in unetbootin there was an option to add space for saving across sessions [01:43] or is this something else? [01:56] that's persistence, yes. [01:57] Newk: as I understand persistence, and I may be wrong, any differences from the live filesystem are stored on the persistence you set up - that means things get saved there, updates, etc. at least AIUI [01:57] but that may have changed [02:09] i hope they changed that for updates... otherwise it would need to update itself upon boottime everytime [02:10] or at least move paths to the updates in persistence folder.. and the old packages just sit there and take space [02:11] it's been a while since I messed with persistence so eh [02:12] you just use usb to install it on several machines and update from there? i guess thats the general idea... then we might need a way to update iso's to current packages [02:14] well, most of my systems are virtualized, so... I just don't bother with persistence, VPN into my network and use remote desktop or such to reach into my Linux systems. Usually from another Linux system. [02:14] i guess once they have a working iso they are happy enough and only change it when something really is broken (like no working wifi or the likes) [02:14] ah [02:16] hmm.. the updating of packages on the live-usb just failed.. not enough space [02:18] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1872303 [02:18] aha! [03:49] Hello. [03:49] Nothing to be said at the moment [05:16] hey [09:28] I have one question. === {8 is now known as robot [17:34] hi [17:49] Hey [17:49] How do I dist-upgrade? [17:50] I'm on 14.04 [17:50] Dist-upgrade merely upgraded 14.04 [17:53] NSABear, dist-upgrade is supposed to do that [17:54] it didn't. [17:54] I'm doing update-manager -d [18:00] lynorian, 16.04 is still in dev? [18:00] no but upgrading from 14.04 is not supported until july for .1 [18:01] The update window said it is [18:01] that is because you ran -d [18:02] crap [18:02] the text on the window is not perfect [18:02] So will I be ok with the upgrade [18:02] using -d [18:08] I'm going t odo a fresh install [18:08] I have a broken package installed [18:09] How do I switch over to the AMD Proprietary drivers? [18:10] NSABear: what Lubuntu version? [18:10] 14.04? 16.04? [18:11] yea [18:11] what else would I do? [18:13] NSABear: there are no proprietary drivers for AMD in 16.04 [18:13] AMD has killed it off and is now giving effort to the OpenSource ones [18:14] if that doesn't work for you, 14.04 is what you'll need to use [18:14] this isn't Lubuntu-centric either [18:14] oh no the Opensource are amazing [18:14] Like jesus christ they are amazing [18:14] I was just hoping to use the proprietary to get a bit more performance [18:14] NSABear: you can't because there are no more proprietary ones [18:14] yes, I know [18:15] You said that. I was saying why I was going to use them [18:15] ok [18:15] well, enjoy :) [18:15] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#fglrx if oyu're curious on the specifics [18:15] I'm doing the upgrade because I want Obs studio [18:22] So would I be ok dd'ing the iso to my usb [21:15] Quick question [21:16] Can panel applets in xfce work in lubuntu [21:16] ?
