| MarcoP | anyone know of a good online image backup free program that can do a image backup while the computer is running for ubuntu/linux | 00:33 |
|---|---|---|
| MarcoP | shooot | 00:33 |
| MarcoP | wrong room | 00:34 |
| MarcoP | i thought this was ubuntu | 00:34 |
| bazhang | we can answer here too | 00:34 |
| MarcoP | thats cool | 00:34 |
| MarcoP | do you know of any | 00:34 |
| bazhang | ubuntu and xubuntu are the same in that dept | 00:34 |
| MarcoP | nice | 00:34 |
| MarcoP | my laptop is encrypted so clonezilla is not working so great | 00:35 |
| bazhang | why a running system | 00:35 |
| MarcoP | the usb is not as big as the hard drive of the running system | 00:35 |
| bazhang | why not just backup home | 00:35 |
| MarcoP | i think clonezilla does a backup of the whole entire drive and the compression is not that great | 00:36 |
| ObrienDave | so? if you only backup the /home drive, all is good | 00:36 |
| MarcoP | would that be good enough you think? i thought about that | 00:36 |
| bazhang | sure | 00:36 |
| MarcoP | i had wondered what info is in the folders outside of /home though | 00:36 |
| bazhang | in fact, when I upgrade versions, there is an option to preserve /home | 00:37 |
| MarcoP | oh okay | 00:37 |
| bazhang | you could use etckeeper | 00:37 |
| bazhang | !info etckeeper | 00:37 |
| ubottu | etckeeper (source: etckeeper): store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs. In component main, is optional. Version 1.18.2-1ubuntu1 (yakkety), package size 26 kB, installed size 145 kB | 00:37 |
| MarcoP | well there is a built in backup program | 00:37 |
| bazhang | there is, yes | 00:38 |
| MarcoP | is there one that encrypts the file otherwise I can do it manually | 00:39 |
| MarcoP | the backup file | 00:40 |

| ejay13177 | does anyone have any tips for speeding up the system on a netbook? running 16.10 | 15:13 |
| bekks | ejay13177: Whats slow in particular, first? | 15:16 |
| ejay13177 | everything pretty much, web browsing especially | 15:21 |
| bekks | Which CPU do you have, how much RAM? | 15:21 |
| ejay13177 | atom n450, 1gb | 15:21 |
| ejay13177 | im planning on putting in a 2gb module but im wondering if there are any software tweaks in the meantime | 15:22 |
| bekks | Your only chance is changing the CPU then. Had a N450 myself, even a smartphone is faster. | 15:22 |
| ejay13177 | lol | 15:22 |
| bekks | No joking intended. | 15:22 |
| ejay13177 | i see | 15:22 |

| mrmanman | hello guys | 16:55 |
| ejay13177real | hety | 16:56 |
| ejay13177real | ey | 16:56 |
| mrmanman | can i ask u guys question? i just installed this xubuntu os on my pretty old desktop, the thing is it wont run without nomodeset line on grub, but when i tried to set it permanently after restart, the resolution become lower (fixed tho) and i feel the system became slower, so i redo adding "nomodeset" permanently on the grub file, if i add nomodeset line command while im at the grub booting its working just fine. i looked for my graphic d | 16:59 |
| mrmanman | sorry if its confusing | 16:59 |
| ejay13177real | hmmm im rusty on grub, ill check into it | 17:00 |
| mrmanman | :)thanks jay | 17:03 |
| ejay13177 | so what graphics card is it? | 17:05 |
| mrmanman | its Radeon HD 6410D i think | 17:10 |
| ejay13177 | I think you just need to install a better driver for it | 17:10 |
| mrmanman | hmm, where do you think i can find it? | 17:11 |
| ejay13177 | go to start menu, and search additional drivers | 17:11 |
| mrmanman | i cant see anything in there, just blank :( | 17:12 |
| ejay13177 | this is on a totally fresh install? | 17:12 |
| mrmanman | yep | 17:12 |
| ejay13177 | like you never been able to see any software in your start menu? | 17:12 |
| ejay13177 | can you start a terminal somehow? | 17:13 |
| mrmanman | no no ive installed some things in there, everything works fine, but the main problem is just i have to set nomodeset everytime to make it run when booting in grub, otherwise monitor just blinking like in sleep mode but the pc still running | 17:14 |
| mrmanman | yes i can | 17:14 |
| ejay13177 | software-properties-gtk | 17:16 |
| ejay13177 | try running that in terminal | 17:16 |
| ejay13177 | then check the additional drivers tab | 17:17 |
| ejay13177 | i gotta take a shower brb | 17:19 |
| ejay13177 | http://askubuntu.com/questions/207175/what-does-nomodeset-do | 17:19 |
