| Stiba | I wanted to ask if the newest Lubuntu distro still has ALSA as sound system? The reason I am asking is because of FireFox after 52 defaults to pulse audio. | 09:43 |
|---|---|---|
| xangua | Stiba: 16.04 does, but I always install pulseaudio | 09:58 |
| Stiba | I thought that this was far from trivial, but I will give it a try. Thank you for the reply! | 10:01 |

| lxlenewbie | hello, how to have lxle 16 mount fat32 sdcard? | 16:40 |
| wxl | in general, with lxle, you need to seek support from them | 16:41 |
| wxl | that said, pcmanfm should just handle it and if not, use the mount command | 16:42 |
| lxlenewbie | thanks. i just clicked this link from their site . | 16:42 |
| wxl | yeah, i've asked them to make it more clear that this is not lxle support | 16:42 |
| wxl | actually it seems pretty clear | 16:43 |
| wxl | http://www.lxle.net/support-options/ | 16:43 |
| lxlenewbie | this problem happened for me with the livecd of lubuntu as well | 16:43 |
| wxl | "Lubuntu IRC" suggests support for Lubuntu, not LXLE | 16:43 |
| wxl | is there an sdcard slot on the machine? | 16:44 |
| lxlenewbie | in lubuntu, iclicked the microsd card and got the error | 16:44 |
| wxl | what error? | 16:44 |
| lxlenewbie | microsd card reader... yes | 16:44 |
| lxlenewbie | it won't let me copy the error .. it says something about exfat | 16:44 |
| wxl | well, without knowing the error, i can't be of much help | 16:45 |
| wxl | but i would watch /var/log/dmesg when you insert the sd card | 16:45 |
| wxl | see if you find any errors there | 16:46 |
| lxlenewbie | how do i watch that? | 16:46 |
| wxl | tail -f /var/log/dmesg | 16:46 |
| lxlenewbie | tx wxl. now it's not recognizing the microsd at all so there's nothing to click on. i tapped the microsd to eject and reinsert and it flew across the room | 16:51 |
| lxlenewbie | arghh | 16:51 |
| wxl | lxlenewbie: what about dmesg? | 16:53 |
| lxlenewbie | i typed thaat in terminal but nothing happened... a new window should open ? | 16:54 |
| lxlenewbie | i'll reboot and try again. tx | 16:59 |
| wxl | type the command | 17:01 |
| wxl | then insert the sd card | 17:01 |
| wxl | then report on what shows up | 17:01 |
| wxl | it should output in terminal | 17:01 |
| Guest64371 | wxl ? | 17:33 |
| wxl | yes? | 17:33 |
| Guest64371 | (you were helping me with microsd prob | 17:33 |
| Guest64371 | here's the error: | 17:33 |
| Guest64371 | Error mounting /dev/mmcblk1p1 at /media/qwerty/3639-3761: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=999,gid=999,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/mmcblk1p1" "/media/qwerty/3639-3761"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat' | 17:34 |
| wxl | and that's what happens when you click on it or that's what shows up in dmesg? | 17:34 |
| Guest64371 | i put thaat command you gave me into terminal | 17:35 |
| Guest64371 | then, i clicked to open the sdcard | 17:35 |
| Guest64371 | the error message popped up again and i was able to copy and paste it here | 17:35 |
| wxl | could you put /var/log/dmesg into a pastebin? | 17:35 |
| Guest64371 | the var/log/dmesg doesn't open anything for me .... | 17:36 |
| wxl | not var but /var | 17:37 |
| wxl | you certainly have one | 17:37 |
| Guest64371 | tail -f /var/log/dmesg is what i entered in terminal | 17:37 |
| wxl | try opening it with the file manager | 17:38 |
| wxl | then copy and put it in a pastebin | 17:38 |
| Guest64371 | k | 17:38 |
| Guest64371 | pastebin? | 17:38 |
| wxl | anyways are you sure this is exFAT? cuz that's NOT FAT16 | 17:38 |
| wxl | !pastebin | 17:38 |

| wxl | if it is exFAT, you can try installing the exfat-fuse and exfat-utils packages and that should resolve the problem | 17:39 |
| Guest64371 | the microsd is fat32 | 17:39 |
| wxl | the fact that it's complaining about exfat is kind of telling though | 17:40 |
| Guest64371 | The specified directory '/var/log/dmesg' is not valid | 17:41 |
| wxl | well here's where i start wondering what lxle is doing different | 17:41 |
| wxl | lubuntu inherits use of dmesg from ubuntu which inherits it from debian e.g. https://wiki.debian.org/dmesg | 17:43 |
| wxl | if lxle doesn't have it, that's weird | 17:43 |
| wxl | but again, this is why we don't support lxle | 17:43 |
| Guest64371 | i see this mount -t in the error message .. is the command to open microsd set for exfat when i need it to be fat32 ? | 17:44 |
| wxl | i'm guessing it's exfat | 17:45 |
| Guest64371 | (the microsd opens in win10 & mint 18 | 17:45 |
| wxl | add those exfat packages and try again | 17:45 |
| Guest64371 | how to install those ? (not coming up in search in synaptic package mgr | 17:48 |
| wxl | they are most certainly there http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=exfat | 17:51 |
| Guest64371 | ? sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils | 17:51 |
| wxl | that would work | 17:51 |
| wxl | but synaptic and apt pull from the same places | 17:51 |
| Guest64371 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/24269126/ | 17:55 |
| wxl | what version are you on? | 17:56 |
| wxl | maybe it would be easier for me to help you if you were on lubuntu | 17:57 |
| Guest64371 | latest ...... but am on livecd (to make sure everything works before install | 17:58 |
| lyn||ian | Guest64371, can you run sudo apt update | 17:58 |
| lyn||ian | that might solve it | 17:58 |
| wxl | latest as in beta 2 of zesty? | 17:58 |
| Guest64371 | latest long term release | 17:58 |
| wxl | latest as in the daily build of zesty? | 17:58 |
| wxl | ok, so you're on xenial | 17:58 |
| wxl | and what architecture? | 17:58 |
| Guest64371 | trying sudo apt update | 17:58 |
| Guest64371 | i'm trying to find wisest linux os to use this lenovo n22 winbook sync folders to desktop via syncthing and work well with opera vpn primarily | 18:01 |
| Guest64371 | sudo apt update done but microsd still wont mount | 18:02 |
| wxl | update then install | 18:03 |
| Guest64371 | lenovo 80S60001US | 18:04 |
| Guest64371 | install what ? | 18:04 |
| wxl | the exfat packages | 18:04 |
| Guest64371 | tx | 18:04 |
| Guest64371 | YES! | 18:05 |
| Guest64371 | it worked. thanks : ) | 18:06 |
| wxl | that would have been easier if you weer on lubuntu | 18:06 |
| wxl | *hint* *hint* | 18:06 |
| Guest64371 | what would i understand the problem to have been based on these results? | 18:06 |
| Guest64371 | : ) | 18:07 |
| wxl | you had an exFAT filesystem, not FAT32 as you guessed | 18:07 |
| wxl | exFAT is a proprietary Microsoft format and is not in the default repos because of that | 18:07 |
| wxl | so you needed to install additional packages to support that | 18:07 |
| Guest64371 | when i ran into this problem when on lubuntu and was researching wisest way to proceed , lxle became an option to try | 18:08 |
| wxl | why is that the wisest? | 18:08 |
| Guest64371 | should i be formatting microsd's to use in linux as primary hard drive for storage as fat32 or.. ? | 18:09 |
| lyn||ian | not all computers can boot off sd cards | 18:10 |
| Guest64371 | ... since this lenovo only has 32gb hd, i'll be using the 64gb sd as storage space to use syncthing to sync files to pc | 18:10 |
| Guest64371 | i'm not going to boot off sd, just use it as storage space to sync to pc | 18:10 |
| lyn||ian | aww ok | 18:11 |
| wxl | why not use the cloud? | 18:11 |
| wxl | i mean sheesh you could make one on your local network with owncloud | 18:11 |
| Guest64371 | ... don't remember why lxle seemed like potentially wise way to go. | 18:11 |
| wxl | because they make it sound like it's so much better? | 18:11 |
| wxl | (their support's certainly not) | 18:12 |
| wxl | with owncloud, you could even sync up to your mobile device https://owncloud.org/install/#install-clients | 18:13 |
| Guest64371 | i needed to upgrade the way we organize our data and syncthing emerged as the way to go as it's keeping proprietary documents in my network | 18:13 |
| Guest64371 | ..not in dropbox or on someone else's server | 18:13 |
| wxl | owncloud/netcloud is your OWN cloud | 18:14 |
| wxl | not someone else's server | 18:15 |
| Guest64371 | is owncloud opensource and works across android, linux & windows? | 18:15 |
| Guest64371 | yup, looks like it is | 18:20 |
| Guest64371 | hmmm nextcloud .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byw55vgAe-M | 18:25 |
| Guest64371 | thanks again. i appreciate your help . bye | 18:32 |
