| bobsmith83 | hello, hello! | 02:41 |
| bobsmith83 | wxl in th house? | 02:41 |
| bobsmith83 | More partitioning questions, if anyone can answer? Whats the "proper" way to partition for multiple distros? does each distro need its own boot, own root, and own /home partition? I know swap can be shared... | 02:43 |
| bobsmith83 | seems like boot partition contains GRUB? and can be shared? er? | 02:44 |
| tsimonq2 | There's no "proper" way. | 02:51 |
| tsimonq2 | You could share /home directories if you know for a fact that it will be compatible with every version of software you use on every distro with that config and /home. | 02:51 |
| tsimonq2 | I wouldn't share /boot; that gets complicated/ | 02:51 |
| bobsmith83 | ok... | 02:57 |
| bobsmith83 | and / ?? | 02:57 |
| tsimonq2 | = . | 02:57 |
| tsimonq2 | grr | 02:57 |
| tsimonq2 | / = . | 02:57 |
| tsimonq2 | There, stupid IRC client. ;) | 02:58 |
| bobsmith83 | root equals period?? | 02:58 |
| tsimonq2 | oh | 02:58 |
| tsimonq2 | I thought you were referring to my typo. :P | 02:58 |
| tsimonq2 | Root needs to be on separate partitions. | 02:59 |
| bobsmith83 | cool. that helps. so, does it matter about the primary vs. drawing a blank... is it called virtual partition? | 03:00 |
| bobsmith83 | thought only 4 primary partitions were allowed? | 03:00 |
| bobsmith83 | and last question: maybe: partition sizing: boot = 1/2 to 1GB, Root = 6 - 10GB, and home = the rest? | 03:02 |
| tsimonq2 | 4 primary ones :P | 03:02 |
| tsimonq2 | *primary* | 03:02 |
| tsimonq2 | :) | 03:02 |
| tsimonq2 | bobsmith83: I'd bump boot a gig or two higher and double root justincase | 03:03 |
| bobsmith83 | yeah, unless you're shoving it onto a 16gb chromebook, huh? I'll just run one os on the chromebook... | 03:04 |
| bobsmith83 | sorry, back to primary vs "extended" partitions, if there 2 os's, then we're looking at 7 total partitions, so which ones get primary? | 03:05 |
| tsimonq2 | root partitions | 03:06 |
| bobsmith83 | cool. two primary partitions, then the other partitions can be "extended" under those. makes sense. thanks! | 03:07 |
| bobsmith83 | and the boot partitions can be "extended" under root as well? | 03:08 |
| tsimonq2 | Well if you have a choice between making /boot and / a primary partition, choose /boot | 03:09 |
| bobsmith83 | awesome. thanks again. starting to get up to speed, alittle more everyday. cheers! | 03:12 |
| tsimonq2 | yw :) | 03:12 |
| ShellcatZero | is there a way to disable the touchpad only while typing? | 05:13 |

| Guest_ | The magnet and regular download of lubuntu 16.04.3 is not working. | 13:58 |
| Player77 | Hello... | 14:32 |
| Player77 | I need help.. | 14:33 |
| Player77 | i created a FAT32 bootable disk for the alternate version of Lubuntu which was around 685MB | 14:33 |
| Player77 | But it is not booting, even after checking and selecting first boot priorities | 14:34 |
| bobsmith83 | good morning | 15:30 |
| bobsmith83 | back with yet again, more partitioning questions....... | 15:31 |
| bobsmith83 | I gave up on my setup and started with a fresh install Lubuntu. Used this to set up partitions: https://askubuntu.com/questions/343268/how-to-use-manual-partitioning-during-installation | 15:32 |
| bobsmith83 | however, seems like that guide has some problems. the primary partition (and boot partition) is the swap?! i dont get it. | 15:33 |
| bobsmith83 | it doesnt seem like a good setup, but is it? I just want to get this right before I go building image files... | 15:33 |
| harf4ng | Good evening. I just installed lubuntu for my daughter on an old notebook but I'm unable to have the wifi network to work. I have setup a wifi one but seems it never connect to wifi. Thanks | 16:28 |
| harf4ng | good evening. dont understand why but I'm unable to configure a wifi network on my new lubuntu install, though the wired connection works. Thanks | 16:55 |
| wxl | harfang: what's your wifi chip? (use lspci -nnk) | 17:06 |
| harfang | broadcom limited BCM4311 WLAN, sounds good? | 17:08 |
| wxl | !bcm43 | 17:08 |
| wxl | ugh | 17:08 |
| wxl | !broadcom | 17:08 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 17:08 |
| wxl | ^^ there's your fix | 17:08 |
| harfang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx thanks | 17:12 |
| RedOranges | Hi all, i have a simple question, i'm running Lubuntu 16.04 and i dont see Avahi running, what does this distro use for ZeroConf? | 18:05 |
| harf4ng | good evening. When I put a DVD in the drive, the drive is automatically mounted on the desktop. But when I eject the DVD with the physical eject button of the drive, the mounted icon stays there and I have to manually eject it to have it disappear. Is that normal? Thanks | 18:58 |
