[00:22] When i try to download Lubuntu 16.04.3 magnet, after some sec it change to 16.04.2. Someone know why ? [02:41] hello, hello! [02:41] wxl in th house? [02:43] 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] seems like boot partition contains GRUB? and can be shared? er? [02:51] There's no "proper" way. [02:51] 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] I wouldn't share /boot; that gets complicated/ [02:57] ok... [02:57] and / ?? [02:57] = . [02:57] grr [02:57] / = . [02:58] There, stupid IRC client. ;) [02:58] root equals period?? [02:58] oh [02:58] I thought you were referring to my typo. :P [02:59] Root needs to be on separate partitions. [03:00] cool. that helps. so, does it matter about the primary vs. drawing a blank... is it called virtual partition? [03:00] thought only 4 primary partitions were allowed? [03:02] and last question: maybe: partition sizing: boot = 1/2 to 1GB, Root = 6 - 10GB, and home = the rest? [03:02] 4 primary ones :P [03:02] *primary* [03:02] :) [03:03] bobsmith83: I'd bump boot a gig or two higher and double root justincase [03:04] yeah, unless you're shoving it onto a 16gb chromebook, huh? I'll just run one os on the chromebook... [03:05] 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] root partitions [03:07] cool. two primary partitions, then the other partitions can be "extended" under those. makes sense. thanks! [03:08] and the boot partitions can be "extended" under root as well? [03:09] Well if you have a choice between making /boot and / a primary partition, choose /boot [03:12] awesome. thanks again. starting to get up to speed, alittle more everyday. cheers! [03:12] yw :) [05:13] is there a way to disable the touchpad only while typing? [05:46] . . [13:58] The magnet and regular download of lubuntu 16.04.3 is not working. [14:32] Hello... [14:33] I need help.. [14:33] i created a FAT32 bootable disk for the alternate version of Lubuntu which was around 685MB [14:34] But it is not booting, even after checking and selecting first boot priorities [15:30] good morning [15:31] back with yet again, more partitioning questions....... [15:32] 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] however, seems like that guide has some problems. the primary partition (and boot partition) is the swap?! i dont get it. [15:33] 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] 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] 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] harfang: what's your wifi chip? (use lspci -nnk) [17:08] broadcom limited BCM4311 WLAN, sounds good? [17:08] !bcm43 [17:08] ugh [17:08] !broadcom [17:08] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [17:08] ^^ there's your fix [17:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx thanks [18:05] 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] 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
