[00:14] <co1or> hi?
[00:14] <wxl> yes?
[00:17] <co1or> just looking for a unix/linux related channel that isnt all lurkers.
=== thegoose is now known as el
[00:17] <wxl> good luck
[00:18] <co1or> do u or anyone else  here know much about linux/unis wxl?
[00:18] <co1or> unix*
[00:18] <wxl> people come from all over the world so at any time, you have people whose time zones will not match with yours
[00:18] <co1or> i know
[00:18] <wxl> so you will always have a bunch of lurkers
[00:18] <wxl> i think it's safe to assume anyone on any linux channel is going to know about linux
[00:19] <co1or> that doesnt mean they have DEEP knowledge!
[00:19] <wxl> i don't think talking in generalities is helping your cause
[00:19] <co1or> and WRT to the "time zones": why would someoe leave themselves logged into IRC if theyre not gonna chat? just to LOG or something?
[00:20] <wxl> to read the scroll back. it's been common on irc for aeons
[00:21] <co1or> wxl: i doubt you know much. you sound very "testy". iwas going to ask some linux-specific questions but i doubt you would have the answer kid.
[00:22] <wxl> co1or: seems presumptive but suit yourself.
[01:00] <yeeter> yooo
[01:01] <yeeter> how come there's no "try now" option when I boot lubuntu from the flash drive?
[01:02] <yeeter> I'm using the iso from "Download Latest lubuntu Version 19.04
[01:03] <lubot> <HMollerCl> @yeeter [<yeeter> I'm using the iso from "Download Latest lubuntu Version 19.04], Where did you downloaded it from?
[01:03] <yeeter> lubot https://lubuntu.net/downloads/
[01:04] <lubot> <HMollerCl> That's not the official site
[01:04] <lubot> <HMollerCl> It's lubuntu.me
[01:04] <lubot> <HMollerCl> And better download 19.10
[01:06] <yeeter> ooo thanks lubot
[02:07] <lubot> <ctisme> is there any lubuntu stopwatch?
[02:30] <guiverc> @ctisme not that I'm aware of; I used gnome-clocks (very simple) when using lxde, kronometer i'm told is good for kde thus likely LXQt
[02:32] <lubot> <ctisme> @guiverc [<guiverc> @ctisme not that I'm aware of; I used gnome-clocks (very simple) when …], is lxqt now more kde-like than gnome-like?
[02:32] <lubot> <ctisme> 😁
[02:32] <guiverc> LXQt uses Qt or Qtoolkit same as used by KDE; LXDE used GTK+2 (older version of that found in gnome; or GTK+3)
[02:34] <guiverc> you can use GTK+ programs still in LXQt; I sure do, but they'll require GTK+ libs + LXQt/Qt libs in memory so wasting a little memory; not an issue on my current 8gb box; but significant if 2gb or less box is used (my opinion anyway)

[03:14] <lubot> <ctisme> nice point of view, thanks guiverc
[03:25] <lubot> <ctisme> cool clocks guiverc... last time i using sandhur

[09:05] <Goretex-mike> hi
[13:52] <lubot> <heysoundude> I’m hoping someone can help me determine if a recent update has slowed my system’s boot down significantly, or if my SDD is on the verge of failure:   … I did an apt-get dist-upgrade (18.04.3) earlier this week, and since I chose to install “whoopsie” and “libwhoopsie” it has gotten to the point that I’m sitting and waiting and pu
[13:52] <lubot> lling the power before it boots. I get a password prompt before the desktop tries to load though - can anyone offer insight?
[13:59] <lubot> <heysoundude> Ooh, now I’ve gotten a “root filesystem has exited with code 4”. Running fsck /dev/sda1

[16:04] <tomreyn> heysoundude: run a SMART check from a live system. if this shows no degradation, run a short self-test. if this shows no problems, run a memory test from decidated memory testing system (not from ubuntu).
[16:05] <tomreyn> that's overnight, since it will take a while to test it properly.
[16:05] <lubot> <Rutvikm> Any option to change font size
[16:08] <kc2bez> @Rutvkim which version of Lubuntu?
[16:09] <tomreyn> heysoundude: fsck error code 4 means (according to the fsck(8) man page): "Filesystem errors left uncorrected". This will happen when there are file system errors which cannot be corrected automatically. Those usually involve data loss. I would not recommend focussing on fixing the file system, though, first make sure the hardware is in good condition.
[16:11] <tomreyn> That's because such situations should not occur when the hardware is fine and you have also not used dd on your drives or moved partitions or file systems around or similar lately.
[16:30] <lubot> Bestleadir was added by: Bestleadir
[18:18] <lubot> <heysoundude> I’ll have to read up on the SMART check.
[18:19] <lubot> <heysoundude> Yeah, I’ve not done any partitioning. Bought the drive, put 16.04 on it, upgraded since. My guess is the drive is at or near MTBF
[18:20] <lubot> <heysoundude> I love how fast ssd’s are but they sure don’t last like good ol’ spinning platters
[18:52] <tomreyn> generally, for desktop use, they are as long lived, sometimes longer.
[18:52] <tomreyn> but this applies to SSDs manufactured today and during the past few years, not those early models
[19:18] <lubot> <heysoundude> Mine is maybe 3 yrs old
