[03:40] <servernoob> hi there
[03:40] <servernoob> i have an old desktop pc
[03:40] <servernoob> and would like to use that as a web server
[03:40] <servernoob> and also use it sometimes for web browsing, watching videos, etc
[03:41] <servernoob> so would lubuntu be a good fit for it?
[03:41] <servernoob> for both server and home uses
[03:41] <servernoob> both uses will be light
[03:43] <servernoob> RAM is 4GB
[03:43] <servernoob> anyone?
[03:45] <servernoob> ?
[03:49] <krytarik> Well, Lubuntu is the most lightweight of all Ubuntu flavors, so.. yes.
[04:02] <servernoob> does it have all the server functionality of ubuntu?
[04:03] <tsimonq2> servernoob: Yes.
[04:04] <servernoob> can i install all ubuntu apps in lubuntu?
[04:04] <tsimonq2> servernoob: Lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE, theming, and a bit of polish.
[04:04] <tsimonq2> servernoob: So yes.
[04:04] <tsimonq2> It's literally Ubuntu. :)
[04:04] <servernoob> only the theme is different?
[04:04] <servernoob> as in only the looks and the user interface?
[04:05] <servernoob> under the hood i can use all the server features as well as all applications?
[04:07] <tsimonq2> Absolutely.
[04:07] <tsimonq2> 100%
[04:07] <tsimonq2> servernoob: This is not Linux Mint where they butcher the whole setup. ;)
[04:21] <servernoob> oh do you think a 35GB partition would be enough to setup lubuntu on?
[04:22] <servernoob> can it read and write ntfs partitions?
[04:24] <tsimonq2> servernoob: 35 GB is absolutely enough
[04:24] <tsimonq2> servernoob: In fact, you could *probably* run it with 7 GB...
[04:24] <tsimonq2> servernoob: And yes, it can read/write NTFS partitions.
[04:27] <servernoob> i already have a windows installed on it with multiple ntfs partitions. the installation is quite messed up it is slow but i can't reinstall it because i need the way the apps are setup occasionally. but for most times i would want to use lubuntu, while being able to access files on the windows ntfs partitions. do you think this setup can work?

[05:32] <inerkick> Hi Guys. I installed Lubuntu on my Toshiba c640 laptop. It got overheating issue. I did install TLP as well as psensors and lm-sensors. But it's still heating up like crazy and automatically shuts down. I even got the laptop serviced few days ago and they even got a cooling agent applied to the CPU. Kindly help how to get the heating working properly
[05:36] <inerkick> at this moment the temperature fluctuates as shown and if it even slightly goes above 80C chances are it shuts down automatically . https://pastebin.com/6Z9bWpmZ

[07:56] <daringfireball> hey
[07:56] <daringfireball> i already have a windows installed on it with multiple ntfs partitions. the installation is quite messed up it is slow but i can't reinstall it because i need the way the apps are setup occasionally. but for most times i would want to use lubuntu, while being able to access files on the windows ntfs partitions. do you think this setup can work?
[07:57] <daringfireball> anyone?
[07:58] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: Hey
[07:58] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: Hold on, I have an idea
[07:58] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: Give me a sec :)
[07:58] <daringfireball> tsimonq2: sure
[07:59] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: Take a look a this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/113733/how-do-i-correctly-mount-a-ntfs-partition-in-etc-fstab
[07:59] <malonumas> linux can read ntfs file system
[07:59] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: What I would do is set the Windows partition to mount somewhere convenient at boot so you can always access your files
[07:59] <tsimonq2> malonumas: That's my point ;)
[08:00] <malonumas> ;)
[08:00] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: Then you'll be able to access all of your files at all times
[08:00] <daringfireball> by default it would't be able to access ntfs?
[08:01] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: By default it will.
[08:01] <daringfireball> but?
[08:01] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: Just put something in /etc/fstab and it you will always have it mounted.
[08:01] <tsimonq2> There is no "but"
[08:01] <tsimonq2> Lubuntu can use NTFS partitions
[08:01] <tsimonq2> Mount them and use them.
[08:02] <daringfireball> can i install from a usb drive?
[08:02] <tsimonq2> Install Lubuntu from a USB drive?
[08:02] <daringfireball> yes
[08:04] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: Do you have Lubuntu on the USB drive?
[08:04] <tsimonq2> Or, what's on the USB drive?
[08:04] <daringfireball> i have nothing on the usb drive, have downloaded the iso that's it
[08:05] <daringfireball> now to install it can i do it from the usb drive?
[08:05] <tsimonq2> Yes you can.
[08:05] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: What operating system are you on now?
[08:14] <daringfireball> windows
[08:16] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: Take a look at this, the same applies for Lubuntu: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows?_ga=2.124109514.1906335323.1501362208-2004590858.1489273770#0
[08:20] <daringfireball> is it possible to create a "live cd" (on usb drive) for lubuntu?
[08:20] <daringfireball> to try it out first
[08:23] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: Yep. That's what it does.
[08:23] <tsimonq2> daringfireball: It's one ISO that has both the capability to try it out and install it.
[08:27] <daringfireball> ok i will try it out thank you so much for all your help
[08:27] <tsimonq2> You're welcome. :)

[14:33] <Noethernet> Hey I'm trying out the lubuntu live from usb flash drive
[14:33] <Noethernet> machine has windows installed
[14:33] <Noethernet> so i boot up using the flash drive
[14:33] <Noethernet> but internet isn't working
[14:33] <Noethernet> via ethernet
[14:34] <Noethernet> i rebooted into windows and it is working fine
[14:34] <Noethernet> i also disabled wake on lan setting on windows
[14:34] <Noethernet> and then rebooted into lubuntu
[14:34] <Noethernet> again internet not working
[14:35] <Noethernet> so i mess around with the network settings
[14:35] <Noethernet> create a new connection
[14:35] <Noethernet> use the google dns
[14:35] <Noethernet> 8.8.8.8
[14:35] <Noethernet> and it started to work
[14:35] <Noethernet> but it disconnects after a while
[14:36] <Noethernet> like in a few minutes
[14:36] <Noethernet> if i reconnect to "ethernet network 2" it works again for a few minutes
[14:36] <Noethernet> what could be the solution for this?
[14:36] <Noethernet> anyone?
[14:39] <Noethernet> ?
[14:41] <Noethernet> ?
[14:42] <Noethernet> Hello?
[14:44] <Noethernet> anyone have any idea?
[14:48] <Noethernet> Still waiting...
[14:51] <Noethernet> ?
[15:06] <Noethernet> ?
[15:13] <Noethernet> Hey I'm trying out the lubuntu live from usb flash drive
[15:13] <Noethernet> machine has windows installed
[15:13] <Noethernet> so i boot up using the flash drive
[15:13] <Noethernet> but internet isn't working
[15:13] <Noethernet> via ethernet
[15:13] <Noethernet> i rebooted into windows and it is working fine
[15:13] <Noethernet> i also disabled wake on lan setting on windows

[15:27] <Noethernet2> Sorry about that, i was just hoping to have lububtu running by today
[15:28] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: What version of Lubuntu?
[15:29] <Noethernet2> The latest one
[15:29] <Noethernet2> 17.04 i think
[15:29] <Noethernet2> just downloaded it earlier today
[15:30] <Noethernet2> Downloading of arch linux via torrent works fine, web browsing in firefox does not
[15:39] <Noethernet2> Yep it is 17.04
[15:42] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: What's the output of /etc/resolv.conf?
[15:43] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: Also, if 17.04 is giving you issues, I would consider trying 16.04. The problem is that 17.04 and on uses systemd-resolved which is getting better but I don't know why they switched to it by default...
[15:43] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: In 17.10 it should be fixed but that's still in development
[15:44] <Noethernet2> nameserver 127.0.0.53
[15:44] <Noethernet2> is 16.04 long term release version?
[15:46] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: Yes, 17.04 is not a LTS version but 16.04 is.
[15:46] <Noethernet2> nameserver 127.0.053 <= that's what's in resolv.conf
[15:46] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: Replace that with `nameserver 8.8.8.8`
[15:49] <Noethernet2> seems to be working now
[15:49] <Noethernet2> thanks
[15:49] <Noethernet2> i'll use it for a while and if there's a problem again I'll be back
[15:49] <Noethernet2> thanks again
[15:49] <Noethernet2> i think i will go for the lts version though
[15:50] <Noethernet2> hey, i am running this off a 4GB flash drive at the moment
[15:50] <Noethernet2> if i download the iso here
[15:50] <Noethernet2> will it be available if i take it to another machine?
[15:51] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: yep
[15:51] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: You'll just have to make the edit again
[15:53] <Noethernet2> edit to resolv.conf?
[15:53] <Noethernet2> even in the lts release?
[15:54] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: Oh, not in 16.04
[15:54] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: Sorry, just in 17.04
[15:56] <Noethernet2> downloading 16.04 on the flash drive now
[15:56] <Noethernet2> hope i won't have to redownload on another pc
[15:57] <Noethernet2> thanks again
[15:58] <tsimonq2> np :)
[16:05] <Noethernet2> Lubuntu does feel extremely fast though
[16:05] <Noethernet2> even on my amd athlon dual core system from several years ago
[16:08] <tsimonq2> :D
[16:13] <Noethernet2> Hey I can't find the downloaded iso file anywhere on the flash drive
[16:18] <Noethernet2> Looks like ill have to re download it
[16:19] <tsimonq2> Noethernet2: Whenever you download anything on a live Lubuntu instance, it does not stay between reboots
