| bernierunns | Anyone want to help a noob boot lubuntu on an old toshiba xp machine? | 06:25 |
|---|---|---|
| bernierunns | It keeps locking up. | 06:26 |
| ianorlin | how much ram does it have and are you using desktop or alternate installer? | 06:26 |
| ianorlin | have you made sure the image is good? | 06:27 |
| bernierunns | Not sure about the RAM, I'm trying to get something to boot on it. XP is in a loop and not booting so I am trying to install Lubuntu from a dvd. | 06:29 |
| ianorlin | are you sure it has dvd drive? | 06:29 |
| bernierunns | yes | 06:29 |
| ianorlin | and not just cd | 06:29 |
| ianorlin | can you get into bios? | 06:29 |
| bernierunns | It says DVD on it, so I am assuming. | 06:30 |
| bernierunns | How might I do that? | 06:30 |
| ianorlin | you need that to change boot order to boot off dvd | 06:30 |
| bernierunns | ok, I have done that. I get to the screen where it says "Lubuntu" and has the little loading dots, or status dots. It locks up there | 06:31 |
| bernierunns | Should I try it off a thumb drive? | 06:32 |
| ianorlin | xp might not boot off sub | 06:32 |
| ianorlin | usb | 06:32 |
| bernierunns | ok | 06:32 |
| bernierunns | I am trying Lubuntu because I ran into issues with PXE | 06:33 |
| bernierunns | Googled a distro that might work and Lubuntu popped up as an option. | 06:33 |
| ianorlin | do you get to a menu where it says try lubuntu | 06:33 |
| ianorlin | or select a language | 06:33 |
| ianorlin | try the alternate installer maybe | 06:34 |
| bernierunns | I did once. It asked if I wanted to try it first. I did the live version first. It ran ok. So then I rebooted and tried to install over windows Let it run for 6 hours and it locked up somewhere around the 2 hour mark. | 06:35 |
| bernierunns | ok, I am at the select language screen | 06:36 |
| bernierunns | "Try Lunbutu without installing" etc menu | 06:37 |
| bernierunns | what do? | 06:37 |
| ianorlin | run test disk for defects to make sure it is good | 06:39 |
| bernierunns | ok | 06:39 |
| bernierunns | "Check Finished: Errors found in 1 files!" | 06:46 |

| newbooter | I would like to run benchmark on my disks, but there is a bug that prevents benchmark in Disks from running on 32-bit systems: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081019 | 17:17 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1081019 in gnome-disk-utility (Ubuntu) "Benchmark for disks always fails on 32 bit systems" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 17:17 |
| newbooter | Does anyone know of an alternative? | 17:17 |
| ianorlin | !info phoronix-test-suite | 17:18 |
| ubottu | phoronix-test-suite (source: phoronix-test-suite): comprehensive testing and benchmarking platform. In component universe, is extra. Version 4.8.3-1 (utopic), package size 413 kB, installed size 2115 kB | 17:18 |
| ianorlin | that has lots of benchmarks but not entirely sure of all of them | 17:19 |
| newbooter | Thank you ianorlin; will look into that. | 17:20 |
| newbooter | Just noticed I have a scary warning in Synaptic: Broken depencency: linux-generic Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers3.16.0.30.31 | 17:26 |
| newbooter | Tried re-install with Synaptic and got error: E: Internal Error, No file name for linux-generic:i386 | 17:27 |
| newbooter | What would be the best way to fix this? | 17:27 |
| newbooter | Is this really the actual kernel file? I presume removing it via Synaptic is not an option? Or will there be a fallback to a previous version if I do that? | 17:30 |
| MrPytanie | I hadn't installed lubuntu yet. I have 2 GB ram in my netbook. I heard that lubuntu may be run with just 128MB I just need system to run whonix (both gateway and workstation) on VritualBox. But for run whonix I need nearly 2GB ram. So there is my question whould it work on celan lubuntu? I mean would lubuntu still use so small memory amount if it get access to more? | 17:40 |
| * ianorlin doesn't know what whonix is | 17:41 | |
| gebjgd | MrPytanie, you have to try | 17:46 |
| newbooter | uname -4 says 3.16.0-23-generic. Does that mean I can safely remove the package from Synaptic? | 17:59 |
| PanKtos | I just installed lubuntu on my msi wind u135dx and it doesn't see my touchpad. How to fix it? | 19:13 |
| PanKtos | I guess that I need driver for this, but how to install it without using mouse? I don't have one. Now i'm writing from other system. Is it possible to install driver for 'ubuntu without using mouse? Or from other system? | 19:18 |
