[00:14] <lelebart> hi, i've an eeepc 1001px, intel atom n450 and 1GB of ram. i want to install lubuntu 16.04.2: 64bit or 32bit? i read some of askubuntu answers: some told 32bit due to the small ram, others told 64bit because of cpu.
[00:19] <q4a> hi all)
[00:20] <q4a> I just installed fresh 17.04 server and LXQt on it)
[00:20] <q4a> ewerything looks good for now)
[00:22] <wxl> lelebart: if you can use 64 bit, use it.
[00:23] <wxl> lelebart: (and you can, btw).
[00:25] <lelebart> wxl: YES WE CAN! thanks ;)
[00:26] <wxl> lelebart: :) enjoy
[00:28] <wxl> anrebs: updating a driver without internet is, in general, not easy. you will have to, on another machine that does have access to the internet, grab all the .deb packages, copy them on to some media that you can mount on the internetless machine, and then manually install them. note you will need to install all required dependencies, too.
[00:29] <wxl> anrebs: i assume your issue is due to a wifi driver, most likely broadcom. in that case, depending on the specific chip, one package may do the trick.
[00:31] <wxl> q4a: #lubuntu-devel is probably the best places to discuss LXQt as we haven't really released in a fully supported manner yet (and we won't for zesty)
[00:34] <q4a> wxl: thx
[00:39] <GarethTheGreat> hey all, thinking of installing this distro on my wife's laptop, anyone know if it supports WUBI so i don't have to mess around with resizing partitions to dualboot?
[00:42] <pleia2> unfortunately wubi has not been maintained in several years, it really doesn't work anymore
[00:43] <tsimonq2> Ohai pleia2 :)
[00:43] <pleia2> tsimonq2: back to work!
[00:43] <pleia2> ;)
[00:43] <tsimonq2> GarethTheGreat: pleia2 is right, WUBI is old, I don't know why it's still on the images to be honest with you
[00:43] <GarethTheGreat> to be honest, i'm not TOO concerned about accidentally breaking a windows install but it's still an issue
[00:44] <tsimonq2> I see
[00:48] <krytarik> tsimonq2: It's not on the images.
[00:48] <GarethTheGreat> maybe i'll just get her to backup all her stuff "just to be safe" and then accidentally the windows install
[00:48] <tsimonq2> krytarik: I thought it still was
[00:49] <wxl> GarethTheGreat: the installer will behave correctly
[00:50] <GarethTheGreat> wxl: is "correct" behaviour "wiping the trashy windows 7"?
[00:50] <wxl> GarethTheGreat: naw, it'll offer to install it along side. it should be able to resize.
[00:50] <GarethTheGreat> dammit
[01:01] <krytarik> tsimonq2: So apparently 15.10 was the last version that had Wubi on the images.
[01:01] <tsimonq2> krytarik: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[01:10] <lelebart> GarethTheGreat, I use to resize the windows partition, then make an extended partition with one boot partition, one swap, and one for system (and another one for home if you prefer), then install grub on the boot one and manage the windows bootloader with EasyBCD
[15:18] <koleygr> Hi all... I have heard that next lxde will be replaced by lxqt... So for everyone interested here is something useful
