[11:46] <xubuntu201> hola amigos estoy tratando de instalar xubuntu de 32 bits en una vieja laptop HP Pavilion con windows xp professional y todo inicia bien pero cuando llega al punto de configurando bcmwl-kernel-source (i386) se detiene la barra celeste y pasan horas y no sigue, ya lo intente 2 veces en este momento esta asi, que puedo hacer, aborto y descargo una distro mas anterior , alguna guia para mi maquina , gracias
[11:47] <brainwash> !es
[11:48] <xubuntu201> ok thanks
[12:35] <jan> Hello, when I start up my computer it automatic login. I want to change this to use a password but I do not know how to change this in xubuntu
[12:35] <jan> can somebody please help me
[12:36] <cfhowlett> jan, > system > users  | choose an account > password > asked on login
[12:38] <GridCube> jan, ^^
[12:38] <jan> yes
[12:39] <jan> sorry I am not used to chats. and I am a bit slow with typing
[12:39] <cfhowlett> jan, it's considered good practice to have 2 user accounts: one for administering your system (the root user or sudo user) and one for normal everyday use - no system privileges.
[12:41] <jan> I tried this but there was no login screen when I rebooted
[12:42] <cfhowlett> jan then you did it wrong.
[12:42] <cfhowlett> !password
[12:43] <cfhowlett> jan   http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/12/how-to-change-password-on-ubuntu/
[12:46] <GridCube> cfhowlett, he doesnt want to change his password, he needs to show the lightdm login prompt at boot
[12:47] <GridCube> jan, you can open /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf from a terminal using sudo mousepad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and comment the lines that say: autologin-user=YOURUSER and autologin-user-timeout=0
[12:48] <GridCube> you comment those lines adding a # before the line
[12:48] <GridCube> that should make it so it will ask for your password at the login stage
[12:50] <jan> I am going to try tis now
[12:51] <GridCube> :) good luck
[13:01] <jan> oke I found it and put a # before the lines.  I am going to reboot now. I dont know if I can find this chat so thanks for your help
[13:01] <GridCube> jan, :) you can come back from the xubuntu.org page
[13:02] <GridCube> http://xubuntu.org/irc/
[13:02] <jan> oke, I bookmark this first  :-)
[13:02] <GridCube> :)
[13:15] <xubuntu898> Hello Gridcube, I am back and now I have a login screen. Thanks for helping me
[13:16] <GridCube> :) great xubuntu898 :D
[13:17] <GridCube> you can change your nick the next time you log in on the irc web application :)
[13:17] <GridCube> im glad to see you fixed your problem
[14:27] <pezza> Could somebody give me assistance in getting my USB headset to work correctly?
[14:29] <Pezza> It seems that it is working when I run lsusb (shows up as Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0d8c:013c C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM108 Audio Controller)
[14:30] <Pezza> But nothing shows up with either aplay -l or aplay -L (http://pastebin.com/YRFQVAn3)
[14:30] <Pezza> And when I run pacmd list-sinks, I only get a Dummy Output ( http://pastebin.com/60WqQrTE )
[15:06] <GridCube> Pezza, open pavucontrol and see if any stream is designated to go through it
[15:06] <GridCube> sound is probably being sent to hdmi or internal analog devices instead of the usb analog device
[15:12] <Pezza> Okay, so I opened pavucontrol. The only device available in configuration is HDA Nvidia.
[15:13] <holstein> Pezza: i would run "lsusb" and look for the device listed there.. then, "aplay -l" and/or "arecord -l" ..commands in a terminal which you can share in a pastebin for help..
[15:13] <holstein> !paste
[15:13] <holstein> i would bypass any usb hubs, and try other usb ports, and try the device in an officially supported operating system to make sure its functioning properly
[15:14] <Pezza> I already did earlier, if you scroll up.
[15:14] <Pezza> (Pastebins)
[15:14] <holstein> Pezza: you already did what?
[15:15] <Pezza> Sent a pastebin of my lsusb and aplay -l
[15:15] <holstein> Pezza: regardless, if you dont see them there, thats where you need to start
[15:15] <holstein> Pezza: i dont need to see the output, i was just saying, if you need help interpreting.. if you dont see the output in aplay, then alsa is not seeing the device, so, nothing will use it
[15:16] <GridCube> Pezza, in the last tab of pavucontrol, disable the device
[15:16] <holstein> Pezza: does the device work with a supported operating system? is it new? has it ever worked?
[15:16] <GridCube> then enable it again
[15:16] <Pezza> It works perfectly on Windows.
[15:17] <holstein> Pezza: then, we can assume the device is functioning properly, and not "broken".. unfortunately, since the device is working as promised, there may be little you can do to make it work
[15:17] <holstein> Pezza: i find it easy to try different live CD's to see how different kernels and alsa versions support the hardware.. easy with audio devices like that
[15:18] <Pezza> I'll see what I can do with uninstalling PulseAudio and running it directly through ALSA.
[15:18] <holstein> Pezza: i wouldnt
[15:18] <Pezza> Bad idea?
[15:18] <holstein> Pezza: if "aplay -l" isnt seeing it, the alsa is *not* seeing it
[15:19] <holstein> Pezza: i mean, you can purge pulse if you want, or try a live distro that is not shipping pulse.. but, the device is not supporting linux/alsa
[15:20] <Gatis> ubuntu
[15:24] <GridCube> my opinion is that as it is an usb is not being recognized momentaneously, i think you just need to reset it and it will prolly work
[15:25] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2201791.html next to the last option..
[15:27] <holstein> i agree with GridCube there, which seems like what that post suggests.. that some "magic" just makes it work
[15:27] <GridCube> thats why i suggested disabling the device from pavu and then restarting it
[15:32] <Pezza> lsusb
[15:32] <Pezza> wrong terminal :^)
[15:33] <holstein> hehe.. no worries.. lsusb is not as important as the alsa one
[15:34] <holstein> personally, i have only been able to hack one device into working that *didnt* show in aplay -l.. that was with a custom jackd startup command.. and the functionality was limited in a way that when i had the opportunity to get rid of the device, i did
[16:11] <james0r> i figured out a fix for this on a previous install but can't remember it now, some apps aren't showing up in whisker. specifically right now i'm looking at getting Nemo file mananger to show up
[16:13] <holstein> james0r: you can always edit the menu and add what you like.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2220891&page=2 seems relevant
[16:15] <james0r> holstein, yeah as it says switching to alacarte fixed it for me last time. Nemo does show up in alacarte but i don't see a way to get it to actually appear in the menu
[16:15] <holstein> james0r: to appear in the wisker menu, correct?
[16:15] <james0r> holstein, yes.
[16:16] <holstein> i personally havent clicked through a menu since the synapse/kupfer/gnome-do days... but, what are you trying? and how is it failing? have you logged out and back in?
[16:17] <james0r> holstein, naw i havn't actually but i think it's deeper than that. i'll give it a shot and se if nemo shows up.
[16:17] <james0r> brb
[16:19] <james0r> nope, same as before
[16:19] <holstein> james0r: so, what have you tried? and how is it failing?
[16:19] <james0r> i'll play around with alacarte a little more. i remember on the previous install once i figured out the "trick" i could get any app to show up in whisker
[16:21] <james0r> holstein, install nemo for example, menulibre won't show anything about nemo so installed alacarte. it shows up in alacarte, but is not found in whisker where alacarte says it should be.
[16:21] <james0r> i can check and uncheck nemo to be displayed in that category but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
[16:21] <holstein> james0r: are you up to date with upgrades?
[16:22] <james0r> holstein, yeah
[16:22] <bluesabre> james0r, does nemo show up in the menulibre search
[16:22] <james0r> nope
[16:23] <bluesabre> ok
[16:23] <bluesabre> probably, check /usr/share/applications/nemo.desktop
[16:23] <bluesabre> there may be a key, OnlyShowIn, or NotShowIn
[16:24] <holstein> yeah, i agree.. ^
[16:24] <james0r> i did check that and removed the only show in line completely.
[16:24] <james0r> still didn't show up
[16:25] <bluesabre> worst case, you can use menulibre to create a new nemo launcher
[16:25] <james0r> ahh i edited the wrong .desktop file for nemo
[16:25] <james0r> i see the only show in gnome line still there.
[16:26] <james0r> i edited the .desktop file in some app-intall dir or something
[16:26] <holstein> thats what i was thinking was happening.. a new entry to start it
[16:26] <holstein> if you cant get the current one to show, just try making a scratch one to start what you please
[16:27] <james0r> right right. i have no issue with doing that, i just remember with that previous install this was happening on tons of apps. i'll take it one at a time for now though
[16:28] <bluesabre> darn
[16:28] <bluesabre> was going to ask that he ping me with broken ones
[16:28] <bluesabre> :)
[16:28] <bluesabre> oh hey
[16:29] <bluesabre> btw, I'm the menulibre dev, so as you find issues where menulibre doesn't show something, feel free to ping me
[16:33] <james0r> bluesabre, will do if i go back to using it. just figured out if i run alacarte as sudo and clck 'restore system configuration' nemo shows up
[16:34] <james0r> i'm pretty lost as to why this is, but i'm glad its working
[16:59] <zleap> hi,, what do I run to load the deslop notes application, it won't auto load on start up (and i DID NOT TELL IT NOT TO)  and i can;t load it from them menu
[16:59] <zleap> and the hplip thing won't auto load either
[17:18] <holstein> zleap: are you sure its not loading? or just not showing in a tray?
[17:21] <zleap> how do i work that out
[17:21] <zleap> well i can't see it anywhere,  so its not in the try thing at the top and if I run from themenu it doesnot show up
[17:24] <zleap> i have also logged out, and back in and even restarted the computer and still don't get it auto loading
[17:24] <holstein> zleap: i would start by referring to a package manager and make sure i have the applications installed.. i would then confirm the  applications can run from the commandline. then, i would look for them running as services, or whatever else i want
[17:25] <zleap> ok
[17:25] <zleap> so what is the program called
[17:26] <holstein> zleap: after determining that, you can start it
[17:26] <zleap> it used to run
[17:26] <zleap> i have not uninstalled it
[17:26] <zleap> some programs are called one thing in the program but have a totally different name for the actual executable file that runs
[17:27] <holstein> ok.. something changed, then.. i would start, again, by seeing that the applciation is installed with the package manager of your choice, and then try running "it" from the commandline
[17:27] <zleap> grrr
[17:28] <zleap> it is on the menu as notes, how do I find out what is run or meant to run when i click on it
[17:29] <holstein> zleap: maybe you dont need to bother with that, since, a few moments ago, you were not able to find it in the menu.. try just running the application, and see if it shows in the tray, and if you can set settings for showing in the tray or autostart
[17:30] <zleap> it does do anything
[17:30] <zleap> ok hang on
[17:31] <zleap> just looked in start up
[17:31] <zleap> xfce4-notes
[17:31] <zleap> tried running that from a xterm  and it just sits there
[17:33] <zleap> ** (xfce4-notes:3741): WARNING **: main-status-icon.vala:37: Status Icon is not embedded
[17:39] <csenger41> hello
[17:40] <csenger41> how can i remove root access from a folder?
[17:40] <GridCube> remove root access?
[17:41] <csenger41> accidentally ran Firefox as root, now it doesn't start up
[17:41] <csenger41> Could not create gnome accelerators directory `/home/csenger/.gnome2/accels': Permission denied
[17:42] <csenger41> any idea?
[17:42] <GridCube> csenger41, try running firefox using firefox -ProfileManager
[17:43] <csenger41> same
[17:43] <GridCube> pastebin what the terminal says
[17:44] <csenger41> http://pastebin.com/p6LvZicd
[17:44] <GridCube> mmhm
[17:44] <csenger41> same appears when trying to run firefox
[17:45] <GridCube> yes
[17:45] <GridCube> !chown | csenger41
[17:47] <GridCube> or, if the folder is not that important to you you can just delete it, do sudo thunar, then press ctrl-h to see hiden directories and delete the problematic files
[17:49] <Tisgh> Hi guys
[17:49] <csenger41> okay, thanks for the help :)
[17:50] <csenger41> working fine now
[17:50] <csenger41> and hello
[17:50] <Tisgh> I'm having a trouble playing media on my xubuntu virtual machine
[17:50] <GridCube> great csenger41 :)
[17:50] <Tisgh> I've installed the Ubuntu extras
[17:50] <Tisgh> Restarted
[17:51] <Tisgh> Still doesn't work :(
[17:51] <GridCube> the xubuntu-restricted-extras?
[17:51] <Tisgh> Yup did that to
[17:52] <GridCube> and what about the aditional drivers from software-properties-gtk?
[17:52] <GridCube> is it virtualbox?
[17:52] <Tisgh> Vmware
[17:52] <Tisgh> How do I install those
[17:53] <GridCube> open software-properties-gtk go to the last tab "aditional drivers" and see if theres any for your setup
[17:53] <GridCube> !vmware
[17:55] <Tisgh> So it won't work then right
[17:55] <csenger41> anyone knows how to install adium themes for pidgin?
[17:56] <Tisgh> I'm also getting "No additional drivers available"
[17:56] <csenger41> https://code.google.com/p/adium2pidgin-themes/wiki/InstallingThemesFromAdiumxtrasCom
[17:56] <GridCube> Tisgh, read the wiki page
[17:56] <csenger41> did all this, but not working when clicking install button
[17:56] <Tisgh> Ok
[17:56] <bazhang> csenger41, asked in #pidgin yet?
[17:57] <csenger41> yes, but noone answered, maybe you know something about it
[18:09] <csenger41> aww noone is answering :(
[18:29] <Pezza> So I finally, somehow, got my headset to show up in aplay.
[18:29] <Pezza> One step further, I guess
[18:45] <xIrbis> Hello, could anyone help me with installing drivers for nVidia card?
[18:46] <xIrbis> i spent whole day trying to do this, and have same problem when i boot linux
[18:52] <theperfectpunk> Hello i was trying to install xubuntu with a usb flash drive
[18:52] <theperfectpunk> xubuntu 14.04
[18:53] <xIrbis> and?
[18:53] <theperfectpunk> when this popped up
[18:53] <theperfectpunk> http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2wdbpro&s=8
[18:54] <theperfectpunk> waited for about 1 minute
[18:54] <theperfectpunk> and then gave up
[18:54] <theperfectpunk> as keyboard wasn't working
[18:55] <xIrbis> have you tried again?
[18:55] <theperfectpunk> yeah
[18:55] <theperfectpunk> about 5-7 times
[18:55] <theperfectpunk> what does it look like?
[18:56] <theperfectpunk> is it the usb stick, i have to burn a dvd then i can install it or something else?
[18:56] <xIrbis> well, i dont know, im looking for help with my graphic card :D
[18:56] <xIrbis> where you downloaded xubuntu?
[18:56] <theperfectpunk> xubuntu wiki
[18:57] <xIrbis> ive just installed it from USB + unetbootin
[18:57] <theperfectpunk> what's wrong with your graphic card?
[18:57] <xIrbis> driver doesn't work
[18:57] <theperfectpunk> what is it?
[18:57] <xIrbis> i tried install it on debian
[18:57] <xIrbis> when i boot xubuntu
[18:57] <xIrbis> screen goes dark
[18:57] <theperfectpunk> stuck?
[18:58] <theperfectpunk> stuck there?
[18:58] <xIrbis> graphics fan turn hyperspeed
[18:58] <theperfectpunk> nvidia?
[18:58] <xIrbis> and then reboot
[18:58] <xIrbis> yes
[18:58] <theperfectpunk> which model?
[18:58] <xIrbis> nvidia gt 755M
[18:58] <xIrbis> http://www.linux.org/threads/nvidia-gt-750m-black-screen.5963/
[18:58] <theperfectpunk> ohh on laptop
[18:58] <xIrbis> problem similar to this one
[18:58] <xIrbis> but, when i tried on debian
[18:59] <theperfectpunk> did you try to install the properietary graphic driver?
[18:59] <xIrbis> ony one fan was working :D
[18:59] <theperfectpunk> from the nvidia website?
[18:59] <xIrbis> yes
[18:59] <xIrbis> on debian
[18:59] <theperfectpunk> why do you keep saying debian?
[18:59] <xIrbis> on xubuntu only through GUI settings
[18:59] <theperfectpunk> you did a fresh install of xubuntu?
[18:59] <xIrbis> yes
[18:59] <theperfectpunk> did you?
[18:59] <xIrbis> about 30 minutes ago :D
[19:00] <theperfectpunk> when you first installed it
[19:00] <xIrbis> before that i was trying on debian, so i have more experience with that
[19:00] <theperfectpunk> it was running ok right?
[19:00] <xIrbis> what do you mean with first time?
[19:00] <theperfectpunk> did it ever boot?
[19:00] <theperfectpunk> normally?
[19:00] <xIrbis> yes
[19:01] <theperfectpunk> i think i know your problem
[19:01] <xIrbis> i had debian before, adn everything worked fine
[19:01] <theperfectpunk> and the solution too
[19:01] <theperfectpunk> you must've installed drivers
[19:01] <theperfectpunk> and then updated ubuntu
[19:01] <theperfectpunk> restarted
[19:01] <theperfectpunk> and boom screen black
[19:01] <xIrbis> not rly
[19:01] <theperfectpunk> what did you do?
[19:02] <theperfectpunk> after the first install
[19:02] <xIrbis> i restarted after xubuntu installed the driver
[19:02] <xIrbis> it was about 3 month ago
[19:02] <xIrbis> i dont remember first install :D
[19:02] <theperfectpunk> all i can think of is that your kernel got updated
[19:03] <theperfectpunk> and you didn't recompile the driver for it
[19:03] <theperfectpunk> did you update the kernel?
[19:03] <xIrbis> no
[19:03] <theperfectpunk> did you update ubuntu?
[19:03] <xIrbis> no
[19:03] <theperfectpunk> the kernel update is in regular packages
[19:03] <xIrbis> i know
[19:04] <xIrbis> i mean i didn't do apt-get update or something
[19:04] <xIrbis> just fresh install and then check if nvidia is working
[19:04] <theperfectpunk> how did you install drivers?
[19:04] <theperfectpunk> you can't just run the nvidia binary
[19:04] <xIrbis> on xubuntu through GUI settings
[19:05] <xIrbis> on debian through repo and nvidia website aswell
[19:05] <theperfectpunk> well that explains it
[19:05] <xIrbis> same problem
[19:05] <theperfectpunk> i'm new to xfce
[19:05] <theperfectpunk> can u get into terminal?
[19:05] <theperfectpunk> do you have access to terminal?
[19:06] <xIrbis> im on windows now on same computer
[19:06] <xIrbis> but yes i can
[19:06] <xIrbis> Xorg didnt work at all
[19:06] <theperfectpunk> so you do have access to terminal
[19:06] <xIrbis> everything crash when i type startx
[19:06] <theperfectpunk> that's okau
[19:06] <theperfectpunk> okay
[19:07] <xIrbis> but what about your problem?
[19:07] <theperfectpunk> i'll figure it out
[19:07] <theperfectpunk> get the nvidia binary from here
[19:08] <theperfectpunk> http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77525/en-us
[19:08] <xIrbis> i tried that
[19:09] <xIrbis> now, and then
[19:10] <theperfectpunk> so that should work
[19:10] <theperfectpunk> it replaces x.org
[19:10] <theperfectpunk> with nvidia x server
[19:10] <xIrbis> but it dont work
[19:11] <theperfectpunk> what do you mean?
[19:11] <theperfectpunk> did it install successfully?
[19:11] <xIrbis> yes
[19:11] <theperfectpunk> after reboot the same problem?
[19:11] <xIrbis> yes
[19:12] <xIrbis> i dont know what black screen and full fan speeds mean
[19:12] <xIrbis> black = without backlight
[19:12] <theperfectpunk> full fan speeds usually mean
[19:12] <theperfectpunk> driver isn't working
[19:12] <xIrbis> you dont say :D
[19:12] <theperfectpunk> used to happen on freedos
[19:13] <theperfectpunk> my hp laptop came with freedos
[19:13] <theperfectpunk> it was running at about ~90
[19:13] <theperfectpunk> same was with ubuntu
[19:13] <theperfectpunk> after installing drivers
[19:14] <theperfectpunk> battery backup increased and heating decreased
[19:14] <theperfectpunk> are you using a Lenovo?
[19:14] <xIrbis> yes
[19:14] <xIrbis> y510p
[19:14] <theperfectpunk> yep
[19:14] <theperfectpunk> guessed
[19:14] <theperfectpunk> it
[19:14] <theperfectpunk> really common choice with gt755m
[19:15] <theperfectpunk> and must be in india too
[19:15] <xIrbis> ill login using mobile
[19:15] <xIrbis> and then try to do something on terminal
[19:16] <theperfectpunk> well all you can do now is
[19:16] <theperfectpunk> fiddle with xfce settings
[19:16] <theperfectpunk> because the driver is installed
[19:16] <xIrbis> what do you mean in india?
[19:16] <theperfectpunk> and now xfce is to blame
[19:17] <xIrbis> i think thats not xfce problem
[19:17] <theperfectpunk> well you did install the driver
[19:17] <theperfectpunk> got into terminal
[19:17] <theperfectpunk> went to run level 3
[19:17] <theperfectpunk> killed the x-server
[19:18] <theperfectpunk> made the binary executable
[19:18] <theperfectpunk> ran the binary, completed the setup
[19:18] <theperfectpunk> that ought to do it
[19:18] <xIrbis> i tried that
[19:18] <xIrbis> as you said
[19:18] <xIrbis> but ill try again on xubuntu
[19:20] <theperfectpunk> well good luck
[19:23] <xIrbism> do you know how can i unistall nvidia driver?
[19:33] <theperfectpunk> never tried it

[19:33] <theperfectpunk> try tjos
[19:43] <ARM9> is the battery display thing bugged or something
[19:43] <ARM9> sometimes it's always stuck at 100%
[19:43] <ARM9> never happens when I'm in windows on this lappy
[19:43] <brainwash> ARM9: could be a bug indeed
[19:44] <ARM9> I get that there's like a bagillion different vendors that probably have their own shitty quirks in their interface, but are there any alternatives out there that are perhaps more mature?
[19:45] <ARM9> I'm using the stock xfce4-indicator-plugin that comes with xubuntu 14.04
[19:45] <brainwash> you could install and add xfce4-battery-plugin to your panel
[19:46] <ARM9> s/vendors/laptop\/battery vendors/
[19:46] <Unit193> I use xfce4-power-manager's icon.
[19:47] <ARM9> I'll give it a shot
[19:47] <brainwash> however, battery indicators only display data provided by the kernel
[19:48] <ARM9> makes sense
[19:48] <brainwash> so there might be something else broken (kernel-related)
[20:42] <AndChat|511> I have a huge problem. I broke my installation and when I try to login, X doesn't connect, the pc just halts. I can ctrl alt f1 into the command line and execute programs from it. I have the 14.04.1 ISO, but need to make one of my usb sticks bootable and I only have the command line to do it in. No other pcs available for miles
[20:44] <ARM9> use dd
[20:45] <AndChat|511> I'm not familiar, I'll try it
[20:45] <AndChat|511> Do you have a link to a command / how to dd? I'm googling now
[20:47] <ARM9> dd if=livecd.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
[20:47] <ARM9> rename livecd.iso obviously, and make sure /dev/whatever maps to your usb drive
[20:47] <ARM9> actually let me rephrase that
[20:48] <ARM9> make sure that you pass the path to your usb drive with of=
[20:48] <AndChat|511> Okay one more complication.
[20:49] <AndChat|511> I did it struggling, but is there a way for me to quickly figure out if my usb drive is mounted and where?
[20:49] <AndChat|511> I'm a cripple without the gui nowadays
[20:51] <ARM9> use dmesg
[20:51] <AndChat|511> K ty
[20:53] <David-A> AndChat|511: technically, the usb should not be "mounted" (as a file system) when you dd to its /dev/xxx
[20:54] <AndChat|511> Ok
[20:57] <AndChat|511> Can I copy files from the usb from the terminal?
[20:58] <bazhang> in addition to dd?
[20:59] <AndChat|511> Oh duh, nvm
[21:11] <sadhash> How can I get the iso off the usb stick I have? I tried to cd into the drive but that didn't work
[21:12] <deshipu> sadhash: how did you get it on it?
[21:12] <sadhash> Phone with usb to go
[21:13] <deshipu> so it's just a file?
[21:13] <deshipu> it should be automatically mounted in /media/ when you insert it
[21:13] <sadhash> I downloaded the iso to my unrooted DROID, put the iso on a flash usb stick
[21:14] <sadhash> But my xubuntu is busted while I was playing in a root shell
[21:14] <sadhash> I'll check media
[21:15] <sadhash> Okay... I see /media/usb has nothing in it, though I know the iso file is supposed to be there
[21:27] <sadhash> Extremely difficult to repair without X working
[21:39] <likemindead> Having trouble doing coursework. Java issues. http://ibin.co/1XrL9ZayJt1z (Chromium) http://ibin.co/1XrLMgbx0ozX (Firefox)
[21:39] <likemindead> Any ideas?
[22:05] <David-A> likemindead: a java plugin should have been installed if you installed the package xubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:07] <likemindead> Yep. Don't have Java issues anywhere else. Just this stupid Pearson site.
[22:14] <David-A> likemindead:pearsonmylabandmastering.com has a banner complaining that my java is not ver 7 upd 51. (which it is not)
[22:18] <likemindead> Java is awful...
[22:21] <David-A> likemindead: I don't know what version of java is the current in 14.04, or what you have.
[22:26] <David-A> sadhash: when you dd an .iso to an usb device (the /dev/xxx) any filesystem that was on it before will be wiped out. there is no point formatting the usb before the dd.
[22:27] <sadhash> I have fhe iso on the device I want to format
[22:27] <sadhash> Right now I have a usb stick with the iso on it ready to be transferred to the PC. that's where I'm stuck atm
[22:28] <holstein> sadhash: you can dd copy the iso to the stick, or use unetbootin ..check out..
[22:28] <holstein> !Install
[22:29] <sadhash> I can't locate the iso, to be specific. I don't have the bandwidth to download it again
[22:30] <David-A> holstein, sadhash: it is unlikely that you can dd an .iso that is located on a usb-stick onto the same usb-stick.
[22:30] <sadhash> I'll read docs. I've been at reading documentation for hours trying to get th
[22:30] <sadhash> Every solution seems to require X to be working. Which it's not for me
[22:30] <sadhash> No no, I want to put it on the hard drive first
[22:31] <sadhash> I just don't have the bandwidth to install to the pc from the internet. I just want to transfer from the usb pendrive onto the pc first, before I dd
[22:31] <David-A> sadhash: I now suppose you have a .iso file on a usb-stick and want to make a live-usb-system on the same or another usb-stick? or do you have a dvd drive and an empty dvd disk?
[22:32] <sadhash> Not dvd but usb stick
[22:33] <David-A> sadhash: what is the final goal? to use the .iso file, to make a live system, from where to install xubuntu on the hard drive?
[22:33] <sadhash> I have 2 usb sticks, both 16gb, and my pc that only boots from scsi or usb
[22:33] <sadhash> Yes sir
[22:35] <David-A> sadhash: use one of the usb sticks for a live usb system. one way to do that is to dd a .iso onto it. then boot the live usb system and install to the hard drive.
[22:36] <David-A> sadhash: do you have 2 usb ports, so you can access an .iso file on one usb to dd it to another usb?
[22:36] <sadhash> Yes I can
[22:37] <David-A> sadhash: do you currently have an .iso file on one usb? (as a file, e.g. called xubuntu-bla-bla-bla.iso)?
[22:38] <sadhash> Yes
[22:39] <David-A> sadhash: the usb with the file should be mounted, so you can read the file. then if would have a device like /dev/zzz and be mounted maybe in /media/something (zzz and something are variables)
[22:40] <sadhash> Usb drives are not mounting
[22:40] <David-A> sadhash: the other usb where you are going to create the live system should not be mounted, but should have a device in /dev/xxx (where xxx is a variable)
[22:42] <David-A> sadhash: if the usb with the .iso file is not mounted automagically you should be able to mount it manually. first create an empty dir to become its mount point. e.g. 'mkdir /media/usbwithiso' and then 'mount /dev/zzz /media/usbwithiso'
[22:43] <sadhash> Yay
[22:44] <David-A> sadhash: (where zzz is the same variable a before) (usbwithiso could be just that if you want, or name it something else if you want)
[22:44] <sadhash> I love you.
[22:45] <sadhash> Now to find the name of the blank usb stick I'm going to make live
[22:48] <sadhash> Tytytytyty
[22:50] <sadhash> Isolinux.bin missing or corrupt
[23:00] <sadhash> When rebooting, bios says a new error. "Isolinux.bin" not found or corrupt
[23:04] <David-A> sadhash: is that error when you boot into the live usb system? (that you just created with a dd)
[23:08] <sadhash> When I attempt to boot from the liveusb we just created
[23:11] <sadhash> I used dd if=/media/usb/xubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc1
[23:11] <sadhash> Sdc1 being my sacrificial live usb device
[23:12] <sadhash> It finished with a successful output. I tried it again, restarted, same result
[23:14] <David-A> sadhash: you could compare the md5sum of the .iso file with, ehh, some site
[23:15] <sadhash> I'll have to figure that out
[23:18] <David-A> sadhash: md5sums on a UK mirror http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/trusty/release/MD5SUMS
[23:20] <sadhash> The hash checks out as valid
[23:21] <David-A> sadhash: your error is smarter than me :)
[23:22] <sadhash> Thanks ill keep reading documentation. Or go to Walmart and buy a new pc
[23:22] <sadhash> Well, laptop.. /Cry
