| arelhun | i am new to lubuntu and linux in general. i want to switch my os from windows 10 to lubuntu but one thing is a stumbling block for me. i can't figure out how to mount the usb. sorry i don't know all the technical speech | 18:56 |
|---|---|---|
| malinus | arelhun: you have lubuntu installed? | 18:56 |
| arelhun | i have it installed on a virtual machine | 18:57 |
| arelhun | i want to install it in place of windows tho | 18:57 |
| arelhun | i need to use my usb but it won't automount | 18:57 |
| arelhun | i can't figure out how to manually do it either because i only have sda1 not any sdb1 | 18:58 |
| malinus | eh might need to allow it in the VM | 18:58 |
| arelhun | how would i do that, please | 18:59 |
| arelhun | if i install lubuntu on the hard drive will it mount my usb port or do i need to give up on lubuntu and go with another os | 19:00 |
| arelhun | i don't want to, i love lubuntu | 19:01 |
| arelhun | i just fiddled around and went to the settings and added the usb thingy i hope i did right, do i need to reboot for it to take affect? | 19:04 |
| arelhun | thanks for everything malinus, i am going to reboot and test things out again | 19:06 |
| main | hi! | 19:44 |
| main | what clipboard managers work on Lubuntu? | 19:44 |
| main | I can't get CopyQ and Parcellite to work with it correctly... | 19:44 |
| main | Neither would paste the selected item from history | 19:44 |
| main | I would have to first click on the item or hit enter, and then press shift+ins, only this way I can paste using these clipboard managers | 19:45 |
| malinus | main: I have been using Parcellite for years with no problems | 19:46 |
| main | malinus, when you press ctrl+alt+h and then select an item either by hitting enter or clicking on it | 19:47 |
| main | does it get pasted? | 19:47 |
| malinus | pasted? I just click on it | 19:47 |
| malinus | and then it's in the clipboard | 19:48 |
| main | yes, pasted | 19:48 |
| malinus | ctrl-v for paste | 19:48 |
| malinus | (depending on your editor) | 19:48 |
| main | so you have to press an extra hot key to get it pasted? | 19:48 |
| main | because I do | 19:49 |
| main | it's different from what I was used to on Windows and with Diodon | 19:49 |
| main | where you only had to click on an item and it was pasted where you wanted it | 19:49 |
| main | there's an auto-paste option in parcellite settings, i figure that's what I need, but it ain't working | 19:50 |
| malinus | I'm not following you | 19:50 |
| malinus | I just click on the thing I need in parcellite | 19:51 |
| malinus | and it's in the clipboard once again | 19:51 |
| malinus | everything I copy goes into parcellite | 19:51 |
| malinus | I don't click anything special | 19:51 |
| main | the idea is not only to get it in the clipboard | 19:51 |
| malinus | what then? | 19:51 |
| main | but also to get it pasted where you want it | 19:51 |
| malinus | I just paste it where I want it | 19:51 |
| malinus | I still don't get it | 19:52 |
| main | with an extra hotkey combination | 19:52 |
| main | an unnecessary extra step | 19:52 |
| malinus | so there is a hotkey to paste the second last thing in clipboard? | 19:52 |
| malinus | I usually need to find things that are pretty far back | 19:52 |
| main | yes, there is - in ditto for Windows and probably in CopyQ for Linux | 19:53 |
| main | no, that's not how I used to do it - you get your last 10 items opened in a context menu | 19:53 |
| main | then you only have to find the item you need and click on it | 19:53 |
| main | and thatś it, the item is pasted without you having to press ctrl+v | 19:54 |
| main | do you follow me? | 19:54 |
| main | malinus, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyHLa0SSEh0 2:57-3:07 | 19:55 |
| main | he doesn't have to press shift+ins or ctrl+v | 19:56 |
| main | the click does it | 19:56 |
| malinus | wtf is shift+ins | 19:57 |
| main | a hotkey combination. | 19:57 |
| main | that works in terminals | 19:57 |
| main | ins stands for "insert"... | 19:57 |
| main | and shift for the key on the left with an arrow, the one you use to capitalize letters... | 19:58 |
| main | pretty useful in terminal emulators | 19:58 |
| malinus | aha, but what does that combination do? | 19:58 |
| main | format your hard drive. | 19:59 |
| main | i told ya already | 19:59 |
| main | like 3 times | 19:59 |
| main | its for pasting | 20:00 |
| malinus | so shift+ins just opens the cotext menu? | 20:00 |
| malinus | Still that one step of having to press ctrl+v doesn't seem that bad | 20:00 |
| main | no | 20:04 |
| main | if ur okay with wasting your life on this useless unneeded extra step - good luck with it | 20:05 |
| malinus | :P | 20:17 |
| demophobia | how do i install lubuntu on a 16 GB USB drive without burning the iso to disc? | 23:05 |
| demophobia | is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick correct? | 23:06 |
| demophobia | (i mean, the page that answers this question) | 23:06 |
| demophobia | appears to be so | 23:13 |
| demophobia | how much space is required for the ISO? trying to figure how much free space i can leave for file storage | 23:28 |
| demophobia | https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2174630 implies 2 GB is needed | 23:42 |
| demophobia | well, there's a maximum of allowed space of 9999 MB anyway | 23:53 |
