lubot<N0um3n0> Hi13:34
lubot<Joe> Hi16:06
lubot<Joe> Why does my lubuntu crashes with openbox dialogue box with message failed to fork16:07
lubot<Joe> I could navigate mouse but I cannot use it to close or start anything16:08
lubot<HMollerCl> I don't know, never happen to me16:09
lubot<HMollerCl> which lubuntu version?16:10
lubot<Joe> Lubuntu 18.0416:10
lubot<teward001> 'failed to fork' usually has some other cause around it16:10
lubot<teward001> either out of disk space or out of memory16:10
lubot<teward001> check the syslog for the error msg?  `/var/log/syslog`16:10
lubot<Joe> @teward001 [check the syslog for the error msg?  /var/log/syslog should have more detailed i โ€ฆ], Could you explain... I'm a beginner in Linux16:11
lubot<teward001> your crashing of 'failed to fork' is not enough to debug it.  However, `/var/log/syslog` is the system syslog - if you check the contents of that file directly around the time when it crashed it should have more debug data about why it 'failed to fork'16:12
lubot<teward001> NORMALLY failed to fork happens in two cases: (1) insufficient RAM available, (2) no disk space on system16:12
lubot<Joe> I'm running on 1gb ram16:13
lubot<Joe> Actually I tried to install chrome in it and I started facing issues after that16:13
lubot<HMollerCl> check disk space16:15
lubot<HMollerCl> with df in commandline16:15
lubot<teward001> ^ that16:15
lubot<teward001> use `df -h` though for human readable numbers16:15
lubot<Joe> Let me try16:16
lubot<Joe> Well.... Nothing is responding16:25
lubot<Joe> Can I re install lubuntu over lubuntu16:25
