| metathink | What am I suppose to install to be able to create a VPN connection using the network gui? | 07:46 |
| hateball | metathink: what type of VPN? | 07:47 |
| metathink | OpenVPN | 07:48 |
| hateball | metathink: think you may need network-manager-openvpn-gnome then | 07:48 |
| metathink | Thank you | 07:51 |
| jk^ | hi all | 13:04 |
| jk^ | how to unmount a drive? i try to "right click on drive" but it doesn't appear "Unmount" | 13:04 |
| hateball | jk^: it wont umount if you have things open, like a file or a terminal inside a directory etc etc on whatever is mounted | 13:17 |
| jk^ | hateball, | 13:24 |
| jk^ | my usb drive has not open | 13:25 |
| jk^ | it hasn't anything opened | 13:25 |
| jk^ | but by right click on its icon on the desktop, in the context menu that appears, there isn't a command to unmount | 13:25 |
| hateball | hmmm | 13:26 |
| jk^ | and even for trash, there isn't a icon to delete by one-click all its content | 13:26 |
| hateball | I dont have an LXDE system handy atm to check myself I'm afraid | 13:28 |
| Thedarkb | Oh, turns out my CPU has PAE but doesn't report it to the OS. | 14:41 |
| Thedarkb | For some reason. | 14:42 |
| leszek | yeah you need fake pae then | 14:45 |
| Thedarkb | How do I do that? | 14:49 |
| Thedarkb | hang on. | 14:49 |
| Thedarkb | Yeah, forcepae did the job. | 15:23 |
| Thedarkb | Only complaint is that it's using half of my RAM idle. | 15:25 |
| Thedarkb | If I were to apt-get remove gvfs, would everything break? | 15:26 |
| Thedarkb | I'm trimming the fat so to speak. | 15:26 |
| teward | Thedarkb: probably. You wouldn't be able to mount drives, etc. anymore | 15:28 |
| Thedarkb | Not even with mount? | 15:28 |
| Thedarkb | My last distro didn't have it. | 15:28 |
| teward | "your last distro"? | 15:29 |
| Thedarkb | TinyCore | 15:29 |
| Thedarkb | I switched back to Lubuntu due to stability issues. | 15:29 |
| teward | @Thedarkb: i presume you want to plug in a USB drive and *not* have to use superuser to mount the drive every time? | 15:29 |
| Thedarkb | I don't really care honestly. | 15:29 |
| teward | if the answer to that is "Yes I don't want to have to do `sudo mount ...` every time I connect an external drive, then you can't remove gvfs. | 15:30 |
| Thedarkb | I wrote a script to do it for me. | 15:30 |
| teward | but you can remove gvfs if you WANT to, I just don't recommend it. | 15:30 |
| teward | there's very little 'fat' in the Lubuntu distro | 15:30 |
| Thedarkb | I have 256mb RAM. | 15:30 |
| teward | or rather it's default packagesets. At least, in my opinion | 15:30 |
| teward | then you should run a headless Linux. | 15:30 |
| Thedarkb | 101 is used with nothing open. | 15:30 |
| teward | 256MB RAM is going to give you issues with *any* GUI | 15:30 |
| Thedarkb | It was fine with IceWM | 15:31 |
| Thedarkb | Which I'm installing now. | 15:31 |
| Thedarkb | I like IceWM. | 15:34 |
| Thedarkb | It comes with themes out of the box to make it look like OS/2 or Windows 95. | 15:34 |
| Thedarkb | Hmm.... seems like it's only in the 64 bit repo. | 15:34 |
| jk^ | help https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LFN9EEr01Ssx6_RpxiTdDemL_JqeI8re | 15:35 |
| Thedarkb | I'll just download it elsewhere. | 15:35 |
| Thedarkb | Yeah, with IceWM I have it down to where I want it. | 15:59 |
| Thedarkb | 76mb used is alright | 15:59 |
| ChunkzZ | Thedarkb, just get a new system, 256mb is not usable for lubuntu. :P | 16:06 |
| Thedarkb | With IceWM it is. | 16:06 |
| teward | that's not his point :P | 16:06 |
| Thedarkb | I'm going to put more RAM in it eventually. | 16:06 |
| Thedarkb | It's DDR | 16:06 |
| Thedarkb | The 256 is just what's soldered onto the mobo. | 16:08 |
| ChunkzZ | again, 256mb... you need a new system. :) | 16:09 |
| teward | Thedarkb: any *particular* reason you're so attached to such an ancient board/system? | 16:09 |
| teward | because DDR is obsolete. | 16:09 |
| Thedarkb | It's an X40 ThinkPad. | 16:10 |
| Thedarkb | They don't make 4:3 laptops anymore. | 16:10 |
| Thedarkb | plus I like it's size. | 16:10 |
| Thedarkb | It's smaller than an X200 but it feels big thanks to it's screen. | 16:10 |
| Thedarkb | I have an X200 too. | 16:10 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Is there a tool for making custom Ubuntu remixes? | 16:54 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I like what I have going here. | 16:55 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | IceWM+idesk running HexChat and with 3 tabs open in seamonkey is only using 130mb RAM. | 16:56 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Oh yeah, the Lubuntu installer murdered my FreeDOS installation. | 17:04 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | FreeDOS is where it should be on the disk. | 17:20 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | GRUB just won't boot it. | 17:20 |
| wxl | you can try a GRUB repair | 17:23 |
| wxl | fwiw "the Lubuntu installer" is nothing more than the installer that all of Ubuntu uses | 17:23 |
| wxl | assuming it's the Desktop version. that's ubiquity | 17:23 |
| wxl | in the event you have the Alternate version, it's debian-installer, which is only used by Server in the Ubuntu world but is, obviously, used all over Debian | 17:23 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I know, I recognized it from when I installed debian on my server. | 17:27 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Can I run GRUB repair from the desktop. | 17:27 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | *? | 17:28 |
| wxl | well you can run it in terminal so you can run in desktop :) | 17:28 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | That's what I meant. | 17:28 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | wxl, What command am I looking for? grub-repair isn't listed. | 17:29 |
| wxl | like honestly update-grub might do it alone | 17:29 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Hey, update-grub found FreeDOS on /dev/sda1 | 17:30 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I'll reboot and report back. | 17:30 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | wxl, That didn't work. | 17:33 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | How to I run grub-repair, it's not listed in the tab completions. | 17:33 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Boot-repair? | 17:34 |
| wxl | dumb question, Thedarkb-X40: is your machine UEFI capable? and if so, did you use it to boot the ISO? | 17:39 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | My machine was made in 2005.... so no. | 17:39 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I just booted the ISO off of a flash drive and installed it. | 17:40 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I then switched to IceWM because LXDE was a bit too RAM hungry. | 17:40 |
| wxl | EFI existed before 2005 (that's when Intel quit working on their own thing and started working on the United EFI) | 17:41 |
| wxl | so again, are you sure? | 17:41 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Yeah, there's no EFI. | 17:41 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | 100% | 17:41 |
| wxl | cuz that would make some things really unhappy | 17:41 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | No EFI here. | 17:42 |
| wxl | anyways boot-repair is a thing, but an unsupported thing | 17:42 |
| wxl | so you're on your own on that one | 17:42 |
| wxl | otherwise you have https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting | 17:43 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Yeah, it looks kind of sketchy to me. | 17:43 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I hate fiddling with GRUB. | 17:43 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I always break it. | 17:43 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Every. Single. Time. | 17:43 |
| wxl | usually avoiding dual booting helps XD | 17:43 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I do for my main machine. | 17:44 |
| wxl | does the FreeDOS even show in the GRUB menu? | 17:44 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | It shows in the GRUB menu but it leaves me at a blank screen with a blinking cursor. | 17:44 |
| wxl | maybe try reinstalling freedos | 17:44 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | How do I do that without breaking my Lubuntu install? | 17:45 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | All the system files are still there. | 17:45 |
| wxl | ask FreeDOS? | 17:46 |
| * Thedarkb-X40 joins #freedos | 17:46 | |
| Thedarkb-X40 | wxl, It's worth noting that GRUB is supposed to chainload FreeDOS | 18:05 |
| wxl | well here's one thing i'll suggest if you don't get anywhere with FreeDOS, Thedarkb-X40: join #ubuntu and ask there. this is a general GRUB issue, if anything. not Lubuntu-specific. you'll get more people listening in there. | 18:19 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I'll ask in GRUB | 18:21 |
| wxl | i'm not sure i'd suggest that | 18:21 |
| wxl | generally upstream projects will only support current releases and most likely we're behind | 18:21 |
| wxl | we usually are | 18:21 |
| wxl | debian more so | 18:21 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Oh. | 18:24 |
| viju | Where is the GUI for setting up proxy in Lubuntu 16.04 | 18:27 |
| viju | ? | 18:27 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Sorry, got dropped. | 18:27 |
| wxl | NetworkManager should be able to do that for you, viju | 18:27 |
| viju | I tried looking there but I am unaware where to make changes. | 18:28 |
| viju | Opened network connection for the router I am connected to. It has 5 tabs - general, wi-fi, wi-fi security, ipv4 settings and ipv6 settings. | 18:30 |
| viju | Am I looking at wrong place? | 18:30 |
| wxl | oh nevermind it doesn't handle proxies. hold on | 18:35 |
| wxl | viju: looks like you need to edit /etc/environment https://askubuntu.com/questions/175172/how-do-i-configure-proxies-without-gui | 18:39 |
| viju | wxl: one more; for those proxy I need to supply credentials as well. | 18:42 |
| wxl | viju: i think the second answer discusses dealing with that, no? | 18:43 |
| wxl | viju: one problem is i don't use a proxy so i can't help too much. | 18:43 |
| viju | Oka I got it. | 18:43 |
| RandomGuyOnIrc | How do I take a screenshot? prntscreen doesn 't work | 19:57 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Print Screen doesn't work the same way as it does in Windows. | 19:58 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | It puts the image in your home directory. | 19:58 |
| RandomGuyOnIrc | OK I see now | 19:59 |
| RandomGuyOnIrc | it asctually was working | 19:59 |
| RandomGuyOnIrc | but it is quiet | 19:59 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | There's no sound | 19:59 |
| RandomGuyOnIrc | and doesn't make a popup or anything | 19:59 |
| RandomGuyOnIrc | I see the files now that I look | 19:59 |
| RandomGuyOnIrc | thanks | 19:59 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | It really could be better implemented. | 19:59 |
| RandomGuyOnIrc | :) | 20:00 |
| RandomGuyOnIrc | well IRC, lets people learn the magic | 20:00 |
| krytarik | Well, that's 'scrot' for you. :P | 20:01 |
| ChunkzZ | or you can use gnome-screenshot, I believe that has sound iirc | 20:29 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | scrot isn't working on my machine. | 20:35 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | Might be my window manager. | 20:35 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I think I'll switch to my X200. | 20:37 |
| ChunkzZ | Thedarkb, why are you using an old system? I paid £30 and have a system with 2gb ram... lol makes no sense.... :P | 20:51 |
| ChunkzZ | upgrade! | 20:51 |
| Thedarkb | Mine was €5 | 20:51 |
| Thedarkb | and I have a decent system too. | 20:51 |
| Thedarkb | Well, an X200. | 20:51 |
| ChunkzZ | yeah but it's not really usable for you, no? | 20:56 |
| ChunkzZ | never heard of ice-wm | 20:56 |
| === versatile is now known as Murii | ||
| Thedarkb | ChunkzZ, It's perfectly usable. | 21:48 |
| Thedarkb | IceWM is a nice window manager. | 21:48 |
| Thedarkb | It's not very well supported by distros though. | 21:48 |
| Thedarkb | I can run IRC, I can play Quake, what more can a man want? | 21:50 |
| dax | pizza | 21:52 |
| === genii is now known as barista | ||
| === barista is now known as genii | ||
| RandomGuyOnIrc | How do I eject a usb stick in lubuntu? | 22:50 |
| Thedarkb | RandomGuyOnIrc, Right click on it in PCManFM. | 22:56 |
| RandomGuyOnIrc | thanks | 23:01 |
