[18:56] <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?
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <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
[18:59] <arelhun> how would i do that, please
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <arelhun> i don't want to, i love lubuntu
[19:04] <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?
[19:06] <arelhun> thanks for everything malinus, i am going to reboot and test things out again
[19:44] <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
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <malinus> main: I have been using Parcellite for years with no problems
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <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?
[19:49] <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
[19:50] <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
[19:51] <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
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <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
[19:54] <main> and thatś it, the item is pasted without you having to press ctrl+v
[19:54] <main> do you follow me?
[19:55] <main> malinus, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyHLa0SSEh0 2:57-3:07
[19:56] <main> he doesn't have to press shift+ins or ctrl+v
[19:56] <main> the click does it
[19:57] <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"...
[19:58] <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?
[19:59] <main> format your hard drive.
[19:59] <main> i told ya already
[19:59] <main> like 3 times
[20:00] <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
[20:04] <main> no
[20:05] <main> if ur okay with wasting your life on this useless unneeded extra step - good luck with it
[20:17] <malinus> :P
[23:05] <demophobia> how do i install lubuntu on a 16 GB USB drive without burning the iso to disc?
[23:06] <demophobia> is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick correct?
[23:06] <demophobia> (i mean, the page that answers this question)
[23:13] <demophobia> appears to be so
[23:28] <demophobia> how much space is required for the ISO? trying to figure how much free space i can leave for file storage
[23:42] <demophobia> https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2174630 implies 2 GB is needed
[23:53] <demophobia> well, there's a maximum of allowed space of 9999 MB anyway
