[00:22] <Guest_> When i try to download Lubuntu 16.04.3 magnet, after some sec it change to 16.04.2. Someone know why ?
[02:41] <bobsmith83> hello, hello!
[02:41] <bobsmith83> wxl in th house?
[02:43] <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...
[02:44] <bobsmith83> seems like boot partition contains GRUB? and can be shared? er?
[02:51] <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/
[02:57] <bobsmith83> ok...
[02:57] <bobsmith83> and /  ??
[02:57] <tsimonq2> = .
[02:57] <tsimonq2> grr
[02:57] <tsimonq2>  / = .
[02:58] <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
[02:59] <tsimonq2> Root needs to be on separate partitions.
[03:00] <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?
[03:02] <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> :)
[03:03] <tsimonq2> bobsmith83: I'd bump boot a gig or two higher and double root justincase
[03:04] <bobsmith83> yeah, unless you're shoving it onto a 16gb chromebook, huh?  I'll just run one os on the chromebook...
[03:05] <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?
[03:06] <tsimonq2> root partitions
[03:07] <bobsmith83> cool.  two primary partitions, then the other partitions can be "extended" under those.  makes sense.  thanks!
[03:08] <bobsmith83> and the boot partitions can be "extended" under root as well?
[03:09] <tsimonq2> Well if you have a choice between making /boot and / a primary partition, choose /boot
[03:12] <bobsmith83> awesome.  thanks again.  starting to get up to speed, alittle more everyday.  cheers!
[03:12] <tsimonq2> yw :)
[05:13] <ShellcatZero> is there a way to disable the touchpad only while typing?

[13:58] <Guest_> The magnet and regular download of lubuntu 16.04.3 is not working.
[14:32] <Player77> Hello...
[14:33] <Player77> I need help..
[14:33] <Player77> i created a FAT32 bootable disk for the alternate version of Lubuntu which was around 685MB
[14:34] <Player77> But it is not booting, even after checking and selecting first boot priorities
[15:30] <bobsmith83> good morning
[15:31] <bobsmith83> back with yet again, more partitioning questions.......
[15:32] <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
[15:33] <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...
[16:28] <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
[16:55] <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
[17:06] <wxl> harfang: what's your wifi chip? (use lspci -nnk)
[17:08] <harfang> broadcom limited BCM4311 WLAN, sounds good?
[17:08] <wxl> !bcm43
[17:08] <wxl> ugh
[17:08] <wxl> !broadcom
[17:08] <wxl> ^^ there's your fix
[17:12] <harfang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx thanks
[18:05] <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?
[18:58] <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
