[00:37] <JoeLlama> so like... does lubuntu handle RAID 6 okay?  I run mdadm to initialize all five drives and the lights are flashing and slowly some stop and then it hangs at like 4.3% or 19.5% for software raid
[00:41]  * JoeLlama waits forever for a response but doesn't think this situation is common...
[00:41] <JoeLlama> maybe switch to the full ubuntu version...  i dunno at this point I have put hours into this and have built the system twice now
[00:48] <guiverc> JoeLlama, you're using base Ubuntu features so your *unstated* Lubuntu release should be identical to any Ubuntu flavor, or Ubuntu Desktop itself  (Lubuntu has the desktop & desktop apps changed, and uses a different installer, but still Ubuntu install scripts)
[00:52] <guiverc> (we do use a later encryption install; ie. full disk encryption like Ubuntu Server as I understand it, install using ubiquity will result in an unencrypted /boot as those use an 'older' install script - so it's not identical for all releases)
[00:53] <JoeLlama> um... ok guiverc
[00:54] <JoeLlama> so like why once I started mdadm why would it just hang like that?
[00:54] <JoeLlama> also it wouldn't shutdown I had to hold the power button
[00:54] <JoeLlama> it's very frustrating
[00:54] <JoeLlama> this is the second time I've set everything up again...
[00:55] <JoeLlama> first time it made it to 19.5% this time 4.3% and then stopped initializing or what ever
[00:56] <JoeLlama> guiverc...
[00:57] <JoeLlama> guiverc :(
[00:57] <JoeLlama> *sigh* it's okay I understand...  this just isn't going to work I suspect
[00:58] <JoeLlama> running on a Dell PowerEdge R720
[01:01] <JoeLlama> just gunna go hardware raid
[01:03]  * guiverc is getting ready to go out, only occasionally/briefly near box (why marked away)... but you didn't provide release.. later releases of calamares are 'stronger' than earlier ones, but if it's commands you're executing from terminal - it's base Ubuntu code thus Lubuntu isn't part of the picture (in my opinion & as expressed)
[01:03] <JoeLlama> ok thanks :)
[01:04]  * guiverc is confused by power button?  only 1 unsupported release had SysRq keys disabled which are FAR SAFER for any GNU/Linux
[02:02] <arraybolt3[m]> JoeLlama: Can you run badblocks on all of your drives that you intend to use for your RAID? This kinda sounds like it may be disk failure to me.
[02:03] <arraybolt3[m]> (This is especially likely if your drives are used.)
[15:50] <khalos> Hi can anyone tell me how to move windows from desktop 1 to desktop 2? I absolutely hate this feature
[15:50] <arraybolt3[m]> khalos: Try right-clicking on a window's button in the panel and see if it gives you an option to do that.
[15:51] <arraybolt3[m]> khalos: I think it will let you choose the desktop to move it to, or make it be shown on all desktops.
[15:53] <khalos> Thanks that worked. How did they end up in different desktops in the first place and are there hotkeys for this?
[15:55] <arraybolt3[m]> khalos: I do not know of hotkeys for this, but if there are some, it may tell you in the menu. Also you can right-click on the window titlebar and do the same thing IIRC.
[15:56] <arraybolt3[m]> As for how they ended up in different desktops, I dunno. Maybe you accidentally switched desktops and then launched an app? The scroll wheel on your mouse or two-finger scrolling on your touchpad can sometimes cause you to switch desktops on accident.
[16:03] <khalos> thanks
