[00:57] <delt> hello
[01:11] <delt> Just wanted to thank you guys. i almost always use lubuntu (livecd) whenever i have to do maintenance on a linux machine. It is quick to boot and very effective :D :D :D
[01:13] <wxl> happy to help delt :)
[01:14] <delt> + lxde default setup is quite similar to xfce, which i'm used to for several years now
[01:15] <delt> which is definitely a bonus.

[03:05] <Guest46560> Hello, how do I know which graphics driver should I use? Minitube isn't displaying correctly.
[03:23] <ianorlin> Guest46560: which gpu do you have?
[04:05] <Dislexyk> Hello world.
[04:07] <ianorlin> hi
[04:08] <Dislexyk> I am in a liveCD right now, Lubuntu 14.10. I have upgraded and installed some apps I use a lot, is there a way to save mi current configuration on a USB stick and use it whereever I goin another machine?

[04:12] <ianorlin> I haven't done so myself although I have booted off a usb external hard drive
[04:12] <ianorlin> be warned a usb could wear out after sustained use
[04:13] <Dislexyk> ianorlin, "sustained use"?
[04:14] <ianorlin> for example using it every day as the flash medium only has a limited number of rights and the firmware may not have as good wear leveling as a ssd
[04:14] <ianorlin> so you should still back up the data on the external thumb drive cause it is easy to lose
[04:14] <ianorlin> physically and from hardware failure
[04:41] <Dislexyk> thanks for the advice.

[12:40] <Bsadowski1> Hey all
[12:41] <Bsadowski1> So I tried to fix an issue with my dad's hard drive with Lubuntu and TestDisk and it actually did not fix it, it made the problem worse.
[12:41] <Bsadowski1> Good going me :/
[12:41] <Bsadowski1> Any idea on what I can do?
[12:41] <Bsadowski1> I was attempting to fix a Windows file system issue
[12:42] <Bsadowski1> :P
[12:46] <Bsadowski1> I did the "Fix MRT" or something and now the drive doesn't boot anymore.
[12:46] <Bsadowski1> grr
[12:46] <Bsadowski1> It says "drive read error"

[15:49] <teward> Bsadowski1: only Windows chkdisk can truly fix Windows filesystem problems... just sayin.
[15:50] <teward> (unfortunate, but true, NTFS Windows is evil)
