[02:06] <Qball_> hey
[02:07] <Qball_> so Im wanting to put this on a disc and dual boot my laptop using the disc would I just install this on the disc normally or are there any special steps I need to take
[02:49] <DarinMiller> Qball_: do you mean you have 2 separate drives on your laptop?  What do you mean by disk?
[10:40] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:48] <boospy> Is there a way to start phonecalls directly over kdeconnect? With SMS from Kontact this works really fine: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=140685#p378039
[17:19] <chamar> Hi folks, is there a way to make the Libre Office (especially the menu) a bit.. hum.. better looking? (ie: they are real ugly)
[17:24] <lubuntunext>  sudo apt-get browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash
[17:24] <lubuntunext> this finished but still no flash in chromium
[17:26] <mparillo> chamar: Is your problem with the menus or the icons? I used to have this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1625595
[17:27] <chamar> mparillo: the menu mostly... let me check that link
[17:27] <chamar> k.. not the same "issue" .. it's not unreadable.. but ugly and out of place compares to everything QT.. of course..
[17:28] <mparillo> You could try getting used to Calligra.

[17:33] <chamar> it's not *that* ugly.. I'm picky I guess :/
[17:35] <mparillo> I was happy when it got that ugly. ;-)
[17:36] <chamar> yeah... I'm real picky on those little details
[17:59] <[Relic]> Are there any problems with installing 17.04 as a bios rather than efi boot?
[18:09] <BluesKaj> [Relic],  none whatsoever
[18:10] <BluesKaj> as long you're not dual boting with Windows on GPT/UEFI
[18:24] <[Relic]> BluesKaj, nah, no windows just wanted to test 17.04, but 14.04 was installed in bios originally, and didn't want efi to screw up that
[18:27] <BluesKaj> [Relic],  then you shouild be good to go
[18:29] <[Relic]> just have to figure out how to break up the drive without causing problems
[18:32] <BluesKaj> use gparted for partitioning first of all, then use manual partitioning during the install. That way the install will much easier
[18:32] <BluesKaj> will go
[18:32] <chamar> ... and backup first. ;)
[18:33] <[Relic]> so gpart to section the HD before install
[18:34] <BluesKaj> to me it makes for a quicker and less troublesome install
[18:38] <[Relic]> still no idea on why every attempt on 14.04 failed to create a workable iso to usb
[18:47] <Ab3L> [Relic]: I had problems with usb because I tried to format the usb key as ext* partition. I had to format it as fat32 (I don't know whether it's the same problem you have now, but it may help)
[18:48] <[Relic]> didn't like fat32 (b or c) didn't work for start up disk, unetbootin or dd
[18:53] <BluesKaj> dd should work
[18:53] <[Relic]> it doesn't
[18:54] <[Relic]> and I tried multiple ways of doing it on multiple usb sticks
[18:57] <[Relic]> off to see if I can get 17.04 installed :)
[18:58] <chamar> good luck.
[19:03] <BluesKaj> uodd, dd always worked fine here, used it lots
[19:11] <BluesKaj> I'll bet he's forgetting to unmount the stick when copies with dd
[19:33] <[Relic]> resizing seems successful
[19:37] <BluesKaj> [Relic], make sure  to unmount the stick when copying with dd, if you decide to try it agian
[19:37] <[Relic]> did that a few times
[19:38] <BluesKaj> been successful here several times with dd
[19:39] <BluesKaj> [Relic],   https://askubuntu.com/questions/372607/how-to-create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-from-terminal
[19:42] <[Relic]> been there, done that, completely failed
[19:44] <BluesKaj> [Relic],  i haste to say this then your command is incorrect or your usb stick is defective
[19:45] <[Relic]> considering I used the same usb stick and it works perfect when I used rufus from vista that isn't possible
[19:47]  * BluesKaj shrugs :P
[19:51] <[Relic]> I think it is the missing iso pack something like iso9960 that it couldn't find on the few times that came up so it wasn't using the proper boot info to set it up
[21:01] <karl_> Saludos
[21:42] <cm_> have a problem with kde-related broken packages
[21:43] <cm_> need to get rid of 'em so synaptic & updater works again...any ideas?
[21:45] <cm_> k, it's been awhile since I was last here...is anyone here, or just parked?
[22:03] <Qball_> DarinMiller, I mean like a cd
[22:16] <DarinMiller> Qball_: CD? Or DVD?  You can install to a DVD, but unless it's RW, you would not be able to update or install drivers.  Also, DVD are slower so the your system would be quite slow.
[22:19] <DarinMiller> Also, typical DVD's don't have much storage,  so your app installation would be limited.
[22:20] <Qball_> could I not just have it save all the stuff to my harddrive and just have the os on the dvd and yes it is a RW
[22:23] <Qball_> is that not possible dragly_
[22:23] <Qball_> DarinMiller,
[22:23] <Qball_> my bad
[22:25] <DarinMiller> Qball_: I think it would be that would be possble, put root on the DVD, create a home partition on the hard drive.  Since it is a RW DVD, then you can just try it with little risk.
[22:26] <Qball_> I dont wanna quiet use up my HDD limited space with the OS if I dont have to you know
[22:27] <Qball_> Im just trying to make a laptop that sucks be usable it's got a tf-20 1.6 gz processor so it is a single core processor
[22:30] <Qball_> so DarinMiller to make the dvd bootable I would just follow the tutorial as normal for the dvd install right
[22:30] <DarinMiller> A single core on any OS is not much fun.  Slowing it down with a DVD install would be less fun.
[22:32] <Qball_> I figured without formatting it and installing it on my harddrive this is the best option
[22:34] <DarinMiller> As per the last comment on this page, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=478433, you should not need to do anything special.
[22:34] <Qball_> I was just gonna burn the iso onto the dvd so I'll read that
[23:43] <eloy> alguien que hable español
