| LaserAllan | Hey there guys, I've got a friend that has a laptop that currently is running Windows 2000, would lubuntu work on such a machine?, i am currently not aware of what specs the laptop has but i thought id ask before i suggest something like that | 11:10 |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: It should run Lubuntu without any problems - it's lighweight enough for a laptop of that era. | 11:53 |
| LaserAllan | sodomy: Sounds good | 11:53 |
| LaserAllan | The other alternative i have is to install debian with lxde | 11:53 |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: There wouldn't be much difference in terms of load between the two. | 11:55 |
| LaserAllan | sodomy: It's basically mewant for my mother so she can browse the web and watch youtube and stuff. | 11:56 |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: haha, yeah, I got my mother a laptop for that a few months back. Enjoy being free tech support :) | 11:56 |
| LaserAllan | sodomy: I guess that is what is going to happen then. | 11:57 |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: Yup :) | 12:00 |
| LaserAllan | sodomy: It's mainly thought out as a srufing laptop nothing less, nothing more. I use Linux mostly for servers though, or almost exclusveily for servers | 12:01 |
| LaserAllan | gaming on linux isn't the best atm sadly | 12:02 |
| * hateball looks at his 200+ games in the steam library | 12:03 | |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: I got my mother an older Macbook with OSX - it's simple enough that she doesn't need 'basic' tech support, only for the more in-depth stuff. | 12:04 |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: I use Linux on servers and the desktop. Slackware on servers, Lubuntu on desktop/laptop. | 12:04 |
| LaserAllan | sodomy: Slackware on serverS? | 12:10 |
| LaserAllan | Well I mostly have a zfs fileserver at home so I run FreeNAS on that | 12:10 |
| LaserAllan | sadly Linux doesn't support enough games to justify it for me to run linux on my desktop | 12:10 |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: Yeah, Slack on the servers. I run http://slackware.uk after all ;) | 12:22 |
| LaserAllan | sodomy: for what prupose do you run slackware? | 12:42 |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: Purpose? I use it on all my servers... Or do you mean the reasons I use it? | 12:52 |
| LaserAllan | sodomy: Yeah the reasons :) | 12:52 |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: It's lean, highly stable, secure, exceptionally well tested, and it's the best Linux out there :) | 12:53 |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: You don't get any hand-holding with Slack.. you gotta know your stuff. | 12:54 |
| LaserAllan | sodomy: Interesting, I thought Debian was tested enough, i currently run Ubuntu 1404LTS on a server and its worked quite good so far | 12:54 |
| LaserAllan | sodomy: Well i've never really used slackware, I have only used linux for maybe 2-3 years | 12:54 |
| sodomy | LaserAllan: Ahh, i'm an oldie... Started with Linux in '96 | 12:55 |
| Capum321 | to build monodevelop, after all setup, should run ./configure --prefix='or`pkg-config --variable=prefix mono` ' or --prefix=/opt/mono | 13:20 |

| mapomme1108 | Hello, I am new to lubuntu and want to use it for Kodi. Is it possible to boot to Kodi without loading the desktop environment? | 14:24 |
| okdz | hi | 14:25 |
| swift110 | hey okdz | 14:27 |
| okdz | swift110: which video chat program do you use on lubuntu ? | 14:39 |
| davlefou | Hi, where is launch windows for notify usb was mount? | 16:59 |
| davlefou | I would like to stop notify of that action! | 17:00 |
| Unit193 | davlefou: Go to PCManFM options, volume management. | 19:33 |
| FoeHammered | Does lubuntu, as distributed, have archive mounting? I have .bin and .iso images I want to poke around with in that manner. If not, what's a good one? | 19:37 |
| tsimonq2 | FoeHammered: yes, you can mount it as a loop device in the terminal in pretty much any Debian and Ubuntu based distribution ;) | 19:38 |
| tsimonq2 | http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-iso-image-under-linux.html | 19:38 |
| FoeHammered | Excellent! Thank you! | 19:38 |
| tsimonq2 | no problem :) | 19:39 |
| FoeHammered | Is there a link, or could you explain, the meaning of "loop?" | 19:39 |
| FoeHammered | This page isn't very clear on the meaning, if only because it's not strictly relevant. | 19:40 |
| tsimonq2 | FoeHammered: it means to mount it in memory if I remember correctly | 19:40 |
| tsimonq2 | but it mounts it in a read only way | 19:40 |
| tsimonq2 | but you can copy the contents to another directory if you wish | 19:41 |
| FoeHammered | Interesting. Sufficient for my needs, since I'm just trying to make sure I know what my poorly named images are. | 19:41 |
| tsimonq2 | alright :) | 19:41 |
| FoeHammered | I suspect my simcity and simtower disks got swapped, for example. | 19:41 |
| FoeHammered | (I really should have named them while copying.) | 19:42 |
| FoeHammered | Crud, can that do .toc? | 19:43 |
| FoeHammered | Dang, these old CDs are all .toc because they have redbook audio or whatever it's called where there's music on the CD. | 19:44 |
| tsimonq2 | FoeHammered: http://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/3155/extracting-files-from-data-and-toc-files | 19:50 |
| tsimonq2 | Google is your friend ;) | 19:50 |
| FoeHammered | Google bleeping hates me. | 19:52 |
| tsimonq2 | FoeHammered: then use DuckDuckGo if Google doesn't like you ;) | 19:52 |
| FoeHammered | I really should try to use DuckDuckGo, it's true. Maybe I can wrap my head around the rules. | 19:53 |
| tsimonq2 | FoeHammered: I actually use DDG full time | 19:53 |
| tsimonq2 | it's awesome once you get used to it | 19:53 |
| FoeHammered | And I'm not dead yet, so I assume I can get used to it. | 19:53 |
| LaserAllan | sodomy: Damn, I feel honored than, I am merely starting out | 21:32 |
| davlefou | Unit193, ok, i ll watch. | 21:40 |
