| inerkick | Hi Guys. I got Ubuntu 1 | 06:07 |
| inerkick | Hi Guys. I got LUbuntu 17.04 | 06:07 |
| inerkick | But I'm not able to setup wifi hotspot so that I can access the internet using my smartphone. Nor I can use my phone's wifi. Kindly hlep | 06:07 |
| Emerald2 | When I install lubuntu on a computer with 2 hard drives, what happens with the stuff on the second drive? Will it still be there and will lubuntu know what to do with it? | 07:44 |
| leszek | Emerald2: you can choose what to do with it basically. Leaving it untouched, resize it, or create mount points for it to automatically mount the partitions on that drive when you boot up | 07:45 |
| Emerald2 | Sorry I didn't understand most of that. I'm a newbie. | 07:46 |
| leszek | Emerald2: the installer asks you what do. By default it will detect one of the disks and if they are both already partitioned (so have partitions with data on it) it will ask you to resize that to make space for a "linux" partition where it can install to. You are in control. If you know the names / sizes or whatever to distinguish the two drives you should be able to do the right thing | 07:50 |
| Emerald2 | Hmm tricky. They're both the same size and Windows calls them C and D. | 07:50 |
| leszek | Lubuntu won't call them C and D :P | 07:51 |
| Emerald2 | That's going to be a problem. :P | 07:51 |
| leszek | Emerald2: in general maybe it helps taking a look how the install process works. This is an old video by me but still relevant as most parts did not change | 07:51 |
| leszek | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1bZ5z-L3Q | 07:51 |
| Emerald2 | Thank you. :) | 07:52 |
| leszek | Emerald2: and one important notice especially for newbies: CREATE BACKUPS | 07:52 |
| Emerald2 | Actually it probably wouldn't know what to do with some of the stuff on the 2nd drive. There's probably more music and itunes podcasts than anything. | 07:53 |
| Emerald2 | Yep I have backups of the stuff I don't want to lose. | 07:53 |
| leszek | a backup is not one copy of the most important data but the second copy of that important data | 07:53 |
| Emerald2 | Right. | 07:55 |
| Emerald2 | I'll watch your video and see if I understand better. | 07:56 |
| testhhhhhh | hi, I am getting bad battery life on my acer ES1-512 and tried everything but it stays the same (4hours). any tips to help save battery life? | 14:39 |
| testhhhhhh | I installed tlp but with minimal effect on battery life | 14:40 |
| testhhhhhh | hello? | 14:41 |
| JEBjames | Hello. | 17:39 |
| JEBjames | I tried the August 23 Lubuntu Next and I notice it didn't install xrandr. No big deal, I installed it. But without this GUI resizing in virtualbox is broken. | 17:40 |
| JEBjames | The boot menu "install lubuntu next" doesn't work. Seems to be the exact same as the "try lubuntu next". | 17:48 |
| JEBjames | Some of the right most buttons in the installer are off-screen in lower resolutions. | 17:49 |
| JEBjames | Otherwise basic install seems ok. | 17:50 |
| krytarik | JEBjames: Both #lubuntu-devel and #ubuntu+1 are more suitable for this. | 17:50 |
| JEBjames | Thank you. | 17:50 |
| JEBjames | I'll go msg there. | 17:51 |
| Invicta | I have recently started using Lubuntu and am having trouble installing my printer, a HP 4620 on wireless,can anyone please help? | 18:19 |
| leszek | Invicta: have you tried connecting it directly with the computer already? | 18:23 |
| leszek | because it is supported out of the box says openprinting.org | 18:24 |
| Invicta | No. I used ubuntu briefly before and it found the printer strait away. THis time I get a message No Printer Found and Connect to loal host | 18:25 |
| leszek | ah so maybe the driver is missing | 18:25 |
| leszek | Invicta: first make sure the cups package is installed so printing in general can work. | 18:26 |
| Invicta | So how do I find the drive please? | 18:26 |
| leszek | Invicta: and you need the hplip package installed | 18:26 |
| leszek | this is basically the driver package for all hp printers | 18:27 |
| Invicta | I do get a cups error, but this is all new to me, so I am learning (I hope) | 18:27 |
| leszek | can you tell me exactly what cups error. Mostly it helps searching for that error online and you get suggestions on how to solve this problem or what this problem actually is | 18:28 |
| Invicta | It says failed to connect to server | 18:31 |
| leszek | Invicta: is that after installing hplip? | 18:32 |
| Invicta | No sorry I don't know how to install hplip | 18:33 |
| leszek | ah ok. You can use the lubuntu software center or synaptic to install packages | 18:36 |
| leszek | or the command line with the command: sudo apt install hplip | 18:36 |
| Invicta | OK thanks. I have copied those notes and will try shortly my wife wants her evening meal so got to go now, thanks again. | 18:38 |
| leszek | bye | 18:41 |
| Samy | Hi | 23:19 |
