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