And made a 64bit xubuntu usb. When i try to boot from it, I get this "Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance." [13:02] !md5sum | xubuntu476, 1. verify your ISO 2. verify your USB [13:02] xubuntu476, 1. verify your ISO 2. verify your USB: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [13:03] okey, thank you. I will try that [13:37] So if the md5 sums are not alike, like in my case, I have to download the iso again? [13:41] xubuntu476, depends. the downloaded ISO didn't match? or the USB? if the prior, re-download. if the latter, reburn the USB> if that fails, get a new USB [13:41] the iso didnt match [13:41] xubuntu476: You do not have to redownload the whole thing if you use the torrent. [13:41] I will redownload thank you [13:41] I use torrent [13:42] gabkdlly: What can I do then [13:42] xubuntu476: Also, using the torrent SHOULD make md5summing redundant. [13:43] xubuntu476, but md5sum anyway because ... 90 seconds [13:44] gabkdlly: ok? did you read my original question [15:02] [13:45] cfhowlett_: okey, I guess I will try redownloading. I have a proper internet conection anyays [13:45] Hello [13:46] Hey all, I have a rather urgent security issue on my computer [13:46] It's taking all passwords [13:47] My password is 8 characters, and yet, I just punch in the number 5 and hit enter and it logs me in [13:47] xubuntu476: yes, I did read your original question. I don't know enough about how init works to really know for sure what is going on. I can not tell from the lenovo website, is that machine a 64 bit ? [13:49] gabkdlly: I got win7 64 bit installed, so I suppose so? [13:49] xubuntu476: OK [13:50] xubuntu476, torrent would be "better" [13:50] gdkdlly: Do you think I should download 32 bit instead? [13:50] Might I ask, what is xubuntu476's issue? I might be able to help [13:50] xubuntu476, if your system is 64 bit capable, use that [13:51] whereismypaaants: I am on a lenovo ideapad s510p, with win7. And made a 64bit xubuntu usb. When i try to boot from it, I get this "Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance." [13:52] Have you tried to re-install your USB? It may be incorrectly installed [13:52] Or, attempt to use amd64 - I have an intel processor, but strangely enough, only the amd ISOs worked for me [13:53] okey, I will try that. I used the software from ubuntu.org to make the usb [13:53] yea this is intel too, and its the amd i downloaded [13:53] Okay, what software did you use to burn the ISO? [13:54] For Windows7, I recommend Iso2Usb [13:54] http://www.isotousb.com/ [13:54] software form ubuntu webpage [13:54] They have that now? [13:54] universal usb installer Yes [13:54] Link please, that's really new to me [13:55] 2 sec [13:56] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [13:56] sry it was ubuntu.com [13:56] First off, are you trying to install XUbuntu or Ubuntu [13:57] Xubuntu [13:57] but that software have that option too [13:58] I will try the one from isotousb instead [13:58] http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/14.04/release/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64+mac.iso [13:58] Use that ISO [13:58] okey [13:59] why? is the one on xubuntu.org no good? [14:00] wheresmypaaants: That's really weird (and scary!) I've never seen it before, but I can walk you through checking a few things if you like. [14:00] and, when i press 64 bit download. I only can download amd64.. is there an intel option [14:00] That'd be great [14:00] xubuntu476: Download the amd64 and test that [14:00] xubuntu476, amd64 IS the intel option [14:00] ohh ' [14:01] xubuntu476: amd64 is the right architecture for you in this context, even on e.g. an Intel Core i7 or similar...Ubuntu doesn't hyper-optimize to the point that there's a difference between the various x86-64 architectures [14:02] xubuntu476: That kind of optimization is for crazy people like me on our boxes with source-based distros tweaked all to hell (and even one of my intel-specific kernels will usually run on an AMD or vice versa -- just less efficiently) [14:03] Hedgework: So, what are the different things I can check? [14:03] wheresmypaaants: Okay, so the first thing I'd like you to do is to go to a regular terminal (not xterm or similar) -- the key combo is Ctrl+Alt+F1 on a default xubuntu config -- and try logging in there with your username and an incorrect pw, see if it works. Then type 'exit' (sans quotes) to log out, and try again with the correct username and pw combo. [14:03] wheresmypaaants: That will tell us if something in X is doing horrible things, or if something further down the stack is doing horrible things. [14:04] Hedgework: okey, thank you. Obviously, my hardware knowledge is not to good. [14:04] It refused the password that was wrong [14:04] wheresmypaaants: Oh, Alt+F7 or Alt+F8 will bring you back to X afterwards [14:04] It took the correct one [14:04] Okay, good. This means your system probably isn't screwed...something is happening further up the stack. [14:05] Great :D [14:05] wheresmypaaants: Are you running a reasonably-stock Xubuntu install? If so, what version? [14:05] By stock, what do you mean? I have a lot of installed packages - I'm on 14.04 (I believe) [14:06] Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS === xubuntu476 is now known as EL3PHANTEN [14:09] Hedgework: Still there? [14:09] Yep, sorry, work needed my attention for a moment. [14:10] It's fine, take your time [14:10] wheresmypaaants: I meant are you running a different graphical login manager or DE/WM than xubuntu comes with [14:10] I will be back in 5. [14:10] I've had X-Ubuntu for so long, I can't remember. How do I check? [14:12] wheresmypaaants: Well, I'd assume you use Xfce4 for your desktop environment if you don't remember (it has a mousie logo)...those of us who switch tend to be pretty particular about it. :) [14:12] Hedgework: Using wmctrl I see that I have Xfwm4 [14:13] cool, that's xfce4 [14:13] Okay [14:15] wheresmypaaants: out of curiosity...Xubuntu has, if I recall, a passwordless login misfeature...let me see if I can figure out where the heck it is [14:15] (I don't use xfce4 or most of the stock admin tools, so bear with me) [14:16] XD Okay [14:17] Okay, I found it. [14:17] So click on the mousie menu, then on "Settings Manager"... [14:18] From there select "Users and Groups" [14:18] okay [14:18] That should give you a "Users Settings" (eww bad grammar) titled window, and you can select your user to see if the "Password:" field says "Asked on login" or not. [14:19] It doesn't say that, and I have it that way, but that's only supposed to be for boot [14:19] After that, it's expected to ask for a password, which it does, but then it takes any password [14:19] No, if I recall correctly that is any time you log in with lightdm. [14:20] Either way, it's pretty scary to have it enabled...I have NFC why it even exists. [14:20] Is there any other way to have it just skip password on boot? Perhaps with another manager? [14:21] Not to my knowledge...but why on earth would you want to? [14:21] I really don't get it. [14:21] wheresmypaaants, bad idea. bad [14:21] I run multiple servers, FTP and Website included, off my tower. In the event of a power failure, my computer reboots automatically and logs in, starts the servers, and locks [14:21] It's soon to be a dedicated server :I [14:21] hi [14:22] wheresmypaaants: Then that's a massive misconfiguration on your part. Your various servers should run whether a user is logged in or not. [14:22] wheresmypaaants: Let's fix the misconfiguration rather than making your box less secure in the hope of maintaining it. :) [14:22] Well it looks like I have my work cut out for me. :D [14:23] That's okay, it's totally do-able (though I can't walk you through the whole thing right now...work and such)...and your servers will be better off for your having done so. :) [14:23] 7 of those servers are gaming servers that run on shell scripts [14:23] Will that still be possible? [14:23] yep. [14:24] Great! :D [14:24] this chanel is xubuntu help? [14:24] Yes [14:24] samuraiRM: Yes. [14:24] What can we help you with? :P [14:25] http://postimg.org/image/973moi8el/8b9973df/ hoe install this sidebar i have installed kubunyu desktop for xubuntu [14:26] First off, grammar.

[14:30] helme [14:31] help me , [14:31] samuraiRM: You need to talk in full sentences not choppy ones - "and because the sidebar in the new version?" makes no sense [14:32] wheresmypaaants, google-translate issue. [14:32] :) [14:32] ecxscume for my enghesh but the question i s very easy [14:33] i ve used trnslate [14:33] Okay, I can't help him - Google Translate isn't 5 [14:33] samuraiRM, you speak what language???

[14:46] wheresmypaaants attitude.: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [14:46] Anyone have an opinion on how Xubuntu 14.04 compares to Linux Mint 17 Xfce? [14:47] likemindead, ask #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux [14:48] I'm asking you fine folks. [14:48] likemindead, wrong channel. this is support of tech issues in xubuntu. [14:49] And my issues is wanting to know how Xubuntu 14.04 compares to Linux Mint 17 Xfce. [14:50] likemindead, #ubuntu-offtopic is the place for that discussion. [14:50] Alrightythen. [14:50] likemindead, OR you could install virtualbox, test both OS and make your own conclusion [14:59] I beleave you can test xubuntu without installing it from usb [14:59] Dont know about mint [15:03] whereismypaaants: on the iso you linked to, it says +mac in the end. Is that not a problem? [15:09] okey finished downloading the .iso. And md5 sum's is still not the same. I am comparing to this hashes. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [15:10] EL3PHANTEN: then you'll need to get it again - try using a torrent for it, current xubuntu releases (including EOL it seems) are all herehttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/ [15:11] elfy: okey thank you, I will try there [15:11] use torrents where possible :) [15:11] I have tried that [15:12] then you shouldn't get a hash problem [15:12] should I go with 14.04 or 14.04.1 [15:12] .1 [15:12] ok [15:12] EL3PHANTEN, .1 is the most recent release [15:12] Okey I will try torrent from xubuntu.org one more time then. [15:12] 14.04 is superseded now - you're almost always better getting the most recent point release - saves a bunch of update downloading [15:14] is this a reliable md5 sum page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes? [15:14] EL3PHANTEN, yes that's the approved page [15:14] okey thank you [15:15] excuse me, i have a question to ask, this is about when i turn on my netbook and starting xubuntu, there is alwas a dialog box said "system program problem detected" what was that mean? [15:26] Okey, md5 sum's still dont match. I will try to boot from it now anyways, to see if the problem is still there. [15:27] maybe its not the 14.04.1 version on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [15:28] Hey guys, I'm trying to install xubuntu 14.04.1 on my spare machine and I'm running into a bit of a problem, I've had Xubuntu (14.04) installed before and the mouse connected to a KVM switch I'm using worked fine (Belkin Flip) but now the mouse won't work at all unless I connect it directly to the machine! It works fine in the other machine connected to the switch - Keyboard fine also! === usTrUcX_ is now known as usTrUcX [15:30] mpmc: what does dmesg say? [15:31] its a good place to start at finding the bug [15:31] I'll pastebin it. [15:36] baizon: Here's the complete pastebin -> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=4Es0EHYG [15:41] The only different between the two is when it's connected via the flip it's xhci_hcd and when it's direct it's ehci-pci (that can't be right can it?) [15:43] Hmm, hcd is USB3 and I know the back (where the kvm is connected is USB3) the front is usb2! [15:45] ! Just plugged it into a usb2 port and... it works.. [15:45] mpmc: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:46] OK that was a bit of an odd message! [15:48] heheh :D [15:54] baizon: Thanks for helping me figure this out, damn usb ports! [15:55] mpmc: np :) [15:55] u did it on your on, i just showed the direction :) [15:55] actually xhci is usb3 [15:55] "hcd" just means host controller driver [15:56] ehci = usb2, and uhci/ohci = usb1 [15:56] and also xhci has lots of problems, even on windows [15:57] my brother just bought a new computer, and when he plugs in a usb3 device to a specific usb port it stops his wifi and ethernet from working (neither of which are even usb devices) [15:57] and that's on windows 7 [15:58] ali1234: Thanks for the correction! I just googled hcd and usb3 came up and put 2 + 2 together! [16:01] It's just a pain in the neck if you ask me!

That is rude and inconsiderate to the many volunteers providing help here. [18:12] volunteers? [18:12] for a simple questions on a sidebar for xubuntu desktop [18:13] shir [18:13] shit [18:13] fuck of [18:35] if samuraiRM does come back - it might be as simple as telling them that vertical/horizontal and deskbar are options in panel preferences [18:36] elfy: I thought someone mentioned that one of the last three times. [18:36] He's been doing this all day. [18:39] Hedgework: yea I saw they'd be in more than once [18:40] :/ [18:40] but I've not been here - not seeing anything re panel prefs, neither am I looking to hard though :) [18:41] I got frustrated enough during the iteration about 8am my time that I stopped paying much attention afterwards.
