[00:33] <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
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <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
[00:37] <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
[00:38] <bazhang> there is, yes
[00:39] <MarcoP> is there one that encrypts the file otherwise I can do it manually
[00:40] <MarcoP> the backup file
[13:47] <ejay13177> does anyone have any tips for speeding up the system on a netbook? running 16.10
[14:46] <buntdog58> just finish up install of 16.04
[15:13] <ejay13177> does anyone have any tips for speeding up the system on a netbook? running 16.10
[15:16] <bekks> ejay13177: Whats slow in particular, first?
[15:21] <ejay13177> everything pretty much, web browsing especially
[15:21] <bekks> Which CPU do you have, how much RAM?
[15:21] <ejay13177> atom n450, 1gb
[15:22] <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
[15:23] <ejay13177> it literally is, i find myself browsing on my phone often
[15:23] <ejay13177> what a shame

[16:55] <mrmanman> hello guys
[16:56] <ejay13177real> hety
[16:56] <ejay13177real> ey
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <ejay13177real> hmmm im rusty on grub, ill check into it
[17:03] <mrmanman> :)thanks jay
[17:05] <ejay13177> so what graphics card is it?
[17:10] <mrmanman> its Radeon HD 6410D i think
[17:10] <ejay13177> I think you just need to install a better driver for it
[17:11] <mrmanman> hmm, where do you think i can find it?
[17:11] <ejay13177> go to start menu, and search additional drivers
[17:12] <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?
[17:13] <ejay13177> can you start a terminal somehow?
[17:14] <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
[17:16] <ejay13177> software-properties-gtk
[17:16] <ejay13177> try running that in terminal
[17:17] <ejay13177> then check the additional drivers tab
[17:19] <ejay13177> i gotta take a shower brb
