=== a is now known as Guest18111 [18:56] 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] arelhun: you have lubuntu installed? [18:57] i have it installed on a virtual machine [18:57] i want to install it in place of windows tho [18:57] i need to use my usb but it won't automount [18:58] i can't figure out how to manually do it either because i only have sda1 not any sdb1 [18:58] eh might need to allow it in the VM [18:59] how would i do that, please [19:00] 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] i don't want to, i love lubuntu [19:04] 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] thanks for everything malinus, i am going to reboot and test things out again [19:44]
hi! [19:44]
what clipboard managers work on Lubuntu? [19:44]
I can't get CopyQ and Parcellite to work with it correctly... [19:44]
Neither would paste the selected item from history [19:45]
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] main: I have been using Parcellite for years with no problems [19:47]
malinus, when you press ctrl+alt+h and then select an item either by hitting enter or clicking on it [19:47]
does it get pasted? [19:47] pasted? I just click on it [19:48] and then it's in the clipboard [19:48]
yes, pasted [19:48] ctrl-v for paste [19:48] (depending on your editor) [19:48]
so you have to press an extra hot key to get it pasted? [19:49]
because I do [19:49]
it's different from what I was used to on Windows and with Diodon [19:49]
where you only had to click on an item and it was pasted where you wanted it [19:50]
there's an auto-paste option in parcellite settings, i figure that's what I need, but it ain't working [19:50] I'm not following you [19:51] I just click on the thing I need in parcellite [19:51] and it's in the clipboard once again [19:51] everything I copy goes into parcellite [19:51] I don't click anything special [19:51]
the idea is not only to get it in the clipboard [19:51] what then? [19:51]
but also to get it pasted where you want it [19:51] I just paste it where I want it [19:52] I still don't get it [19:52]
with an extra hotkey combination [19:52]
an unnecessary extra step [19:52] so there is a hotkey to paste the second last thing in clipboard? [19:52] I usually need to find things that are pretty far back [19:53]
yes, there is - in ditto for Windows and probably in CopyQ for Linux [19:53]
no, that's not how I used to do it - you get your last 10 items opened in a context menu [19:53]
then you only have to find the item you need and click on it [19:54]
and thatÅ› it, the item is pasted without you having to press ctrl+v [19:54]
do you follow me? [19:55]
malinus, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyHLa0SSEh0 2:57-3:07 [19:56]
he doesn't have to press shift+ins or ctrl+v [19:56]
the click does it [19:57] wtf is shift+ins [19:57]
a hotkey combination. [19:57]
that works in terminals [19:57]
ins stands for "insert"... [19:58]
and shift for the key on the left with an arrow, the one you use to capitalize letters... [19:58]
pretty useful in terminal emulators [19:58] aha, but what does that combination do? [19:59]
format your hard drive. [19:59]
i told ya already [19:59]
like 3 times [20:00]
its for pasting [20:00] so shift+ins just opens the cotext menu? [20:00] Still that one step of having to press ctrl+v doesn't seem that bad [20:04]
no [20:05]
if ur okay with wasting your life on this useless unneeded extra step - good luck with it [20:17] :P [23:05] how do i install lubuntu on a 16 GB USB drive without burning the iso to disc? [23:06] is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick correct? [23:06] (i mean, the page that answers this question) [23:13] appears to be so [23:28] how much space is required for the ISO? trying to figure how much free space i can leave for file storage [23:42] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2174630 implies 2 GB is needed [23:53] well, there's a maximum of allowed space of 9999 MB anyway
