[07:16] <navanc> Quick Question : Will Lubuntu 17.04 work on my Laptop [ HP Compa 6510b; 3GB ram (1x2 1x1, but I suspect one of them isn't working); 80GB Hard Drive; Intel Core 2 Duo]
[07:19] <terryg> well i have high hopes for lubuntu to revive my old laptop but 3 different downloads have all left me with no internet acess
[07:20] <navanc> whats your laptop's specs
[07:21] <terryg> it'a dual core athlon at 1800hz ,2 gigs of ram
[07:22] <terryg> defective cd drive so i needed something to install from usb stick
[07:23] <navanc> Try DSL
[07:23] <navanc> 50mb
[07:23] <navanc> so you can use your mobile data
[07:24] <terryg> DSL ?
[07:24] <navanc> Damn Small Linux
[07:27] <terryg> looks interesting , i might give it a shot . I've actually seen it before now that i think about it.It has ben used as a base for some trouble shooting and setup cd's
[07:30] <navanc> for installing multiple live cds on a usb, use multiboot. But, remember it sometimes has trouble installing (i.e you can install any iso on the pen drive, but when you press install for eg in kali linux it won't(atleast for me))
[07:33] <terryg> i really hope to get lubuntu sorted out ; it shows my wired connection as active on the laptop and running off both usb stick and live disc on my desktop but won't go to any websites
[07:34] <navanc> whats the error
[07:34] <navanc> code
[07:34] <terryg> no server found
[07:34] <terryg> like its not picking up dns
[07:34] <navanc> That happened with me once, just attach an ethernet cable
[07:35] <navanc> if its attached just remove it and out it back in again
[07:35] <terryg> same message wired or wireless
[07:35] <terryg> ok let me try that
[07:35] <navanc> brb in 10 minutes
[07:36] <terryg> i gotta go to sleep , thanks for help
[07:52] <navanc> Isn't this supposed to be a support website
[07:52] <navanc> support IRC*
[09:06] <PizzaSteve> Hello everyone! I was here yesterday asking for help with making a bootable USB for lubuntu, then installing it. I was facing some issues with the installation, and apparently I did not check the ISO thoroughly.
[09:07] <PizzaSteve> I  verified the md5sum, what other steps should I take to ensure my ISO file is legit? Thank you!
[09:13] <PizzaSteve> So far I've checked the md5sum and sha256sum
[10:55] <PizzaSteve> Any suggestions?

[11:27] <PizzaSteve> Hello, can anyone help me with installin lubuntu with full disk encryption via LVM?
[11:29] <PizzaSteve> When installing, I got "an unsafe swap space has been detected". I proceeded to run the trial lubuntu and use "sudo swapoff --all" in the terminal.
[11:30] <PizzaSteve> Then I tried installing lubuntu again from desktop. But I got a different error "Autopartitioning using LVM failed because an error occurred while creating the volume group. Check /var/log/syslog"
[11:31] <PizzaSteve> Then, I ran "sudo apt-get install lvm2", and tried installing again. This time while installing I get "Configuration of encrypted volumes failed. An error occurred while configuring encrypted volumes. The configuration has been aborted."
[11:31] <PizzaSteve> I don't know where to go from here.

[14:29] <Robin> Does lubuntu support nvidia 970gtx, dual monitor support?
[14:37] <antis> robin, if your gfx card is supported by debian in general, you can bet it can do dual (or more) monitors.
[14:37] <Robin> Never used linux before, so I didn't understand your point :)
[14:41] <antis> Ah ok, sorry. Lubuntu is totally based on the "core components" (kernel, drivers etc.) from Ubuntu, which in turn is based on Debian. If you don't have experience with Linux, I would recommend to start with the stable LTS.
[14:41] <antis> And… before installing, it is a good idea to boot from DVD or USB-Stick (also called the "Live-System") - then simply try to setup two monitors and see, if that works fine
[14:49] <antis> robin, would you have a Lubuntu 16.04 DVD at hand, that you could plug in and start?
[22:55] <stef204> hi, i have installed 17.04 on a Thinkpad laptop as my previous experience with 15.10 was great.  This time around, wifi keeps dropping, better said it refuses to connect or ping every x minutes
[22:55] <stef204> it works great and then i stops working, I reboot or disconnect and reconnect wifi to network and it is fine again
[22:56] <stef204> i suspect something to do with power management or laptop mode but not sure. this is very annoying.  Any suggestions?  I have seen various hacks to disable pm but does not seem to work
[22:57] <stef204> perhaps I should just disable laptop mode altogether?
[23:02] <tsimonq2> stef204: Is your system completely up-to-date?
[23:03] <stef204> tsimonq2: yes, installed today AND totally updated it
[23:04] <stef204> it could also be the module/driver iwl4965
[23:04] <stef204> not sure.
[23:04] <tsimonq2> stef204: Try asking in #ubuntu as this doesn't look like a Lubuntu-specific issue.
[23:04] <stef204> how do i permanently disable power management?
