[21:14] <jp> i everydoy i hava a question ... i'm on peppermint OS who is a distro made from lubuntu and sometimes when i play an online game it crashed ... i don't know how to close the crashing program ... i'm pressing on the "windows" key try to open a terminall but i d'ont know what to do next
[21:15] <jp> i serached on google but i only see solution to go to the programm manager but i don't have this
 Which browser do you use?
[21:15] <jp> i use firefox
[21:16] <jp> but hte game is a stand alon programm i mean i don't use a web browser to play the game
 Sorry, my mistake... I thought that because the game is online, but your're right...
[21:17] <jp> i'm able to reach the terminal but it can take few trial
 Do you know if the game may be run from a terminal? Perhaps the game throws some kind of message there when it crashes
[21:18] <jp> i'v try xkill but xkill close programm bar and not the app
[21:18] <jp> hmm i run the throught an appimage
[21:18] <jp> i think there is a log when it bugs
 killall -9 appname
 you can get appname with top or htop
[21:19] <jp> but ... this time i wasn't able to go to the desktop and close it .é.. i neede to reboot
[21:21] <jp> ok
[21:22] <jp> i see but the programm name seems to be long
 You can kill the process by PID too
[21:23] <jp> any application that I can install that could do almost the samething as ctrl+alt+suppr on a windows OS ???
[21:26] <jp> how to kill by pid ???
[21:26] <jp> i mean what is the command line
 When I need to do it, I do it with`top`, press `k`, write your PID and then, Enter.
[21:29] <jp> ok thanks
 You're welcome!
[21:39] <Dan100> Hi. I tried installing Lubuntu 20.04 on my old computer but when I go for creating a new partition and formatting the disk, it says it's not possible
[21:39] <tomreyn> Dan100: i doubt it says "it's not possible".
[21:40] <tomreyn> what does it say?
[21:41] <Dan100> The installation didn't manage to create a partition on the disk
[21:41] <Dan100> That's the message
[21:42] <tomreyn> hmm, o don't know the lubuntu installer too well, but having the exact error message we can do a web search.
[21:43] <Dan100> Create a new partition (300,00 MiB, fat32) on ‘/dev/mmcblk0’ [21:43] <Dan100> [21:43] <Dan100> Partition’ to device ‘/dev/mmcblk0’. Failed to add partition ‘New Partition’ to device ‘/dev/mmcblk0’.
[21:43] <tomreyn> !paste | Dan100
[21:43] <Dan100> I copied and pasted
[21:44] <tomreyn> ok, that's something we can search for
[21:45] <tomreyn> possibly that's https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1864787
[21:46] <guiverc> Dan100, it's covered specifically in the release notes - see https://lubuntu.me/focal-1-released/
[21:47] <guiverc> (Known Issues section)
[21:48] <Dan100> I will read, ty for the moment
[22:40] <Dan100> I didn`t get my solution
[22:42] <tomreyn> you may be missing this bit of information: "Calamares" is the installer.
[22:42] <guiverc> Dan100, what did you do?   Note: the reboot step mentioned is required (it'll fail if you don't do where mentioned as the failure mucks something up..; logout & login may work too, I forget)
