[01:38] <Newk> 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] <teward> Newk: so you created the USB stick with persistence?
[01:42] <Newk> yes
[01:42] <Newk> i think so
[01:43] <Newk> in unetbootin there was an option to add space for saving across sessions
[01:43] <Newk> or is this something else?
[01:56] <teward> that's persistence, yes.
[01:57] <teward> 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] <teward> but that may have changed
[02:09] <Newk> i hope they changed that for updates... otherwise it would need to update itself upon boottime everytime
[02:10] <Newk> or at least move paths to the updates in persistence folder.. and the old packages just sit there and take space
[02:11] <teward> it's been a while since I messed with persistence so eh
[02:12] <Newk> 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] <teward> 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] <Newk> 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] <Newk> ah
[02:16] <Newk> hmm.. the updating of packages on the live-usb just failed.. not enough space

[02:18] <Newk> aha!
[03:49] <Jbmorris289> Hello.
[03:49] <Jbmorris289> Nothing to be said at the moment
[05:16] <swift110-phone> hey
[09:28] <username_> I have one question.
[17:34] <n-iCe> hi
[17:49] <NSABear> Hey
[17:49] <NSABear> How do I dist-upgrade?
[17:50] <NSABear> I'm on 14.04
[17:50] <NSABear> Dist-upgrade merely upgraded 14.04
[17:53] <lynorian> NSABear, dist-upgrade is supposed to do that
[17:54] <NSABear> it didn't.
[17:54] <NSABear> I'm doing update-manager -d
[18:00] <NSABear> lynorian, 16.04 is still in dev?
[18:00] <lynorian> no but upgrading from 14.04 is not supported until july for .1
[18:01] <NSABear> The update window said it is
[18:01] <lynorian> that is because you ran -d
[18:02] <NSABear> crap
[18:02] <lynorian> the text on the window is not perfect
[18:02] <NSABear> So will I be ok with the upgrade
[18:02] <NSABear> using -d
[18:08] <NSABear> I'm going t odo a fresh install
[18:08] <NSABear> I have a broken package installed
[18:09] <NSABear> How do I switch over to the AMD Proprietary drivers?
[18:10] <teward> NSABear: what Lubuntu version?
[18:10] <teward> 14.04?  16.04?
[18:11] <NSABear> yea
[18:11] <NSABear> what else would I do?
[18:13] <teward> NSABear: there are no proprietary drivers for AMD in 16.04
[18:13] <teward> AMD has killed it off and is now giving effort to the OpenSource ones
[18:14] <teward> if that doesn't work for you, 14.04 is what you'll need to use
[18:14] <teward> this isn't Lubuntu-centric either
[18:14] <NSABear> oh no the Opensource are amazing
[18:14] <NSABear> Like jesus christ they are amazing
[18:14] <NSABear> I was just hoping to use the proprietary to get a bit more performance
[18:14] <teward> NSABear: you can't because there are no more proprietary ones
[18:14] <NSABear> yes, I know
[18:15] <NSABear> You said that. I was saying why I was going to use them
[18:15] <teward> ok
[18:15] <teward> well, enjoy :)
[18:15] <teward> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#fglrx if oyu're curious on the specifics
[18:15] <NSABear> I'm doing the upgrade because I want Obs studio
[18:22] <NSABear> So would I be ok dd'ing the iso to my usb
[21:15] <Jbmorris289> Quick question
[21:16] <Jbmorris289> Can panel applets in xfce work in lubuntu
[21:16] <Jbmorris289> ?
