[03:32] <ubuntu_novice> is everyone afk?
[03:33] <ubuntu_novice> meh...
[03:37] <onlyabyte> wha
[03:38] <onlyabyte> How is that possible, it probably sounds like a hardware problem.
[17:30] <Allaun> is there a line to disable mounting drives in the live cd?
[17:31] <Allaun> I have a bad drive that causes the boot time to last forever
[18:52] <xubuntu36i> ciao
[18:53] <knome> hello
[19:02] <Valeyard1_> hello
[19:54] <Valeyard1_> someone knows what key is xf86?
[19:55] <Valeyard1_> https://i.imgur.com/Xc9rgNFl.png
[19:57] <knome> it's not any key, the XF86* keys represent certain media keys which you might or might not have on your keyboard
[19:57] <knome> Valeyard1_, ^
[19:57] <knome> for example XF86HomePage might be a key with a "home" (usually represented by a house) symbol
[19:58] <Valeyard1_> weird, i have that key but it didnt work
[19:59] <knome> it's not foolproof, the system needs to recognise that key too
[20:01] <well_laid_lawn> you can run  xev  in a terminal then press some keys to see how the system sees them
[20:06] <Valeyard1_> thanks guys, my keyboard probably doesn't have these keys
