[06:02] <Unit193> swift110-phone: Not really the place you're looking for with that, this is a support channel.
[11:10] <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
[11:53] <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
[11:55] <sodomy> LaserAllan: There wouldn't be much difference in terms of load between the two.
[11:56] <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 :)
[11:57] <LaserAllan> sodomy: I guess that is what is going to happen then.
[12:00] <sodomy> LaserAllan: Yup :)
[12:01] <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
[12:02] <LaserAllan> gaming on linux isn't the best atm sadly
[12:03]  * hateball looks at his 200+ games in the steam library
[12:04] <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.
[12:10] <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
[12:22] <sodomy> LaserAllan: Yeah, Slack on the servers.  I run http://slackware.uk  after all ;)
[12:42] <LaserAllan> sodomy: for what prupose do you run slackware?
[12:52] <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 :)
[12:53] <sodomy> LaserAllan: It's lean, highly stable, secure, exceptionally well tested, and it's the best Linux out there :)
[12:54] <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
[12:55] <sodomy> LaserAllan: Ahh, i'm an oldie... Started with Linux in '96
[13:20] <Capum321> to build monodevelop, after all setup, should run ./configure --prefix='or`pkg-config --variable=prefix mono` '  or --prefix=/opt/mono
[13:52] <swift110> hey all
[14:24] <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?
[14:25] <okdz> hi
[14:27] <swift110> hey okdz
[14:39] <okdz> swift110: which video chat program do  you use on lubuntu ?
[16:59] <davlefou> Hi, where is launch windows for notify usb was mount?
[17:00] <davlefou> I would like to stop notify of that action!
[19:33] <Unit193> davlefou: Go to PCManFM options, volume management.
[19:37] <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?
[19:38] <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!
[19:39] <tsimonq2> no problem :)
[19:39] <FoeHammered> Is there a link, or could you explain, the meaning of "loop?"
[19:40] <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
[19:41] <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.
[19:42] <FoeHammered> (I really should have named them while copying.)
[19:43] <FoeHammered> Crud, can that do .toc?
[19:44] <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.
[19:50] <tsimonq2> FoeHammered: http://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/3155/extracting-files-from-data-and-toc-files
[19:50] <tsimonq2> Google is your friend ;)
[19:52] <FoeHammered> Google bleeping hates me.
[19:52] <tsimonq2> FoeHammered: then use DuckDuckGo if Google doesn't like you ;)
[19:53] <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.
[21:32] <LaserAllan> sodomy: Damn, I feel honored than, I am merely starting out
[21:40] <davlefou> Unit193, ok, i ll watch.
