| NewUser | hi all! i use xubuntu some days now from a persistance usb flash drive created in windows, i want to install it in the hard drive, the chanches i did in the live persistencs will be also installed? it is better to use a live usb without persistence? | 13:13 |
| cfhowlett | NewUser, installing it will give you a speedier xubuntu | 13:14 |
| NewUser | hi cfhowlett, i am going to install it, i just want to know if i can use the live usb with persistence or i have to prepare another without percistence! | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | NewUser, note what changes you've made in persistence so you can replicate on your new installation. | 13:16 |
| NewUser | ok! thanx! | 13:17 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help NewUser | 13:18 |
| NewUser | :-) bye | 13:18 |
| yoLo__ | where an i download xubuntu minimal cd ? | 15:18 |
| yoLo__ | can* | 15:18 |
| GridCube | !mini | 15:19 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 15:19 |
| GridCube | yoLo__: ^ when installin you choose the xubuntu desktop | 15:19 |
| GridCube | or the xubuntu-core | 15:19 |
| yoLo__ | i see | 15:20 |
| nomic | yolo .. there is a net install . which will allow you to download the lot from the web (with a boot process much smaller) | 15:22 |

| nomic | yoLo__, "net install" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet | 15:23 |
| nomic | This HOWTO describes one way to do a Netboot install of Ubuntu by booting from files on a hard disk. This installation method does not require burning a CD (or using any other external media, like a USB key), and it does not require you to configure a server on your LAN for PXE booting. | 15:23 |
| nomic | that is the most minimal | 15:23 |
| yoLo__ | it's either i'm just terrible at using linux or debian 8 has changed a lot | 15:26 |
| yoLo__ | i have tried few instruction and i still can't get rfcomm0 | 15:26 |
| yoLo__ | at my dev directory | 15:26 |
| yoLo__ | i sudo apt-get upgrade not knowing this will upgrade my wheezy to jessie | 15:27 |
| yoLo__ | now everything is screwed | 15:28 |
| GridCube | no idea what you talking about | 15:34 |
| yoLo__ | anyways thankis | 15:35 |
| yoLo__ | thanks* | 15:36 |
| yoLo_ | choosing xubuntu minimal will install without GUI right ? | 16:13 |
| yoLo_ | GridCube: | 16:13 |
| holstein | i would expect the xubuntu GUI | 16:14 |
| holstein | xubuntu ships XFCE, even minimally configured, that is a GUI | 16:14 |
| holstein | !mini | 16:14 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 16:14 |
| holstein | ^ that, or a server iso.. that would give you no GUI.. | 16:14 |
| yoLo_ | i selected xubuntu desktop | 16:16 |
| holstein | right.. and thats a GUI.. so, if you dont want a GUI, you dont want xubuntu, or xfce.. you want minimal, that you build without a GUI,or a server iso, that doesnt ship a GUI | 16:16 |
| holstein | !text | 16:16 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 16:16 |
| holstein | you can start the machine without the GUI running.. ^ | 16:17 |
| yoLo_ | everything seems to have been installed but nothing boots unfortunately | 16:17 |
| holstein | well, if you have xubuntu installed, it will boot.. | 16:18 |
| yoLo_ | turn my laptop on, GRUB is suppose to appear | 16:18 |
| yoLo_ | but nothing | 16:18 |
| holstein | if you build something from minimal, you will be responsible for setting up more of the OS | 16:18 |
| pencilandpaper | what iso did you download yoLo_ ? | 16:18 |
| pencilandpaper | to install from. | 16:18 |
| yoLo_ | vivid minimal cd | 16:19 |
| yoLo_ | which is about 40MB | 16:19 |
| holstein | could be, you have a hardware issue.. i might run a few tests, if only quickly, to confirm a few things.. 1. a memory test from a standard xubuntu live iso, and 2. i could run a smart test on the hard drive from there, and 3. i would see that the live environment runs on my hardware | 16:19 |
| pencilandpaper | ok, well then that is why yoLo_ , you still have to install what is needed to get it to boot. | 16:19 |
| holstein | which, is nothing, since you dont want a GUI | 16:19 |
| yoLo_ | i actually do want a GUI | 16:20 |
| holstein | the xubuntu iso provides that, by default.. though, you can add whatever yo ulike after installing from minimal | 16:20 |
| pencilandpaper | yoLo_: are you staring at the pc with the minimal iso installed right now? | 16:20 |
| yoLo_ | pencilandpaper i'm staring at a pc without an OS | 16:21 |
| yoLo_ | just a blink cursor | 16:21 |
| yoLo_ | which isn't suppose to be the case | 16:21 |
| holstein | yoLo_: a login promt? | 16:21 |
| pencilandpaper | ok yoLo_ , in that blink cursor enter su root | 16:22 |
| pencilandpaper | tell me what happens please. | 16:22 |
| yoLo_ | but when i hit ctrl alt + del i get ubuntu 15.04 writting at the center of the screen then pc shutdowns and reboots | 16:22 |
| yoLo_ | i can't type anything | 16:22 |
| yoLo_ | nothing i type appears in the screen | 16:22 |
| holstein | how about from tty? | 16:22 |
| holstein | !tty | 16:22 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 16:22 |
| pencilandpaper | hit this yoLo_ , ctrl+alt+F1 and tell me what happens please. | 16:23 |
| yoLo_ | oh! | 16:23 |
| yoLo_ | that worked | 16:23 |
| yoLo_ | i get a own login: | 16:23 |
| yoLo_ | but command line | 16:23 |
| pencilandpaper | nice, now in that tty..login yoLo_ , and then enter su root..and tell me what happens please. | 16:24 |
| holstein | from there, i would look into GPU hardware support | 16:24 |
| holstein | could be as simple as installing a proprietary driver for the GPU. anyways, you know the system is installed, and you can do maintenance from there | 16:24 |
| yoLo_ | pencilandpaper: su asks for password | 16:25 |
| pencilandpaper | yes yoLo_ , enter your login password and tell me when you are root. | 16:25 |
| yoLo_ | but i wasn't asked for password during installation | 16:25 |
| holstein | should have setup a user password then.. | 16:25 |
| yoLo_ | instead i was asked for an adduser password which i provided | 16:25 |
| pencilandpaper | you should have been..if you werent wow. | 16:25 |
| pencilandpaper | oops wait yoLo_ , who cares..in that terminal enter this: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 16:25 |
| pencilandpaper | you are going to use your login password yoLo_ for all of it. | 16:26 |
| holstein | or, first.. "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".. then, if all goes well, and no errors. "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" | 16:26 |
| yoLo_ | ok xubuntu-desktop is installing | 16:27 |
| yoLo_ | it's about 1.2gigs | 16:27 |
| yoLo_ | i still don't get why i needed to hit ctrl alt pluc f5 f6 | 16:28 |
| yoLo_ | to get into tty | 16:28 |
| pencilandpaper | ok great yoLo_ , once that is installed you are in pretty good shape..and should be able to simply boot in to a desktop after that. | 16:28 |
| pencilandpaper | a GUI. | 16:28 |
| yoLo_ | need i type that in each time i turn on my pc ? | 16:28 |
| holstein | because, it seems you dont actually have xfce installed | 16:28 |
| pencilandpaper | thats just how it is yoLo_ . | 16:28 |
| yoLo_ | hmm.. | 16:29 |
| yoLo_ | i see | 16:29 |
| pencilandpaper | no, after installing xubuntu-desktop you should be good to go..having xfce installed. | 16:29 |
| yoLo_ | will xfce be installed afterwords ? | 16:29 |
| pencilandpaper | yes. | 16:29 |
| yoLo_ | that's just one thing that excites me about linux everything is just soo basic | 16:30 |
| yoLo_ | i got an error :| !! | 16:32 |
| yoLo_ | Errors were encountered while processing systemd | 16:33 |
| holstein | whats the goal? installing xubuntu? if so, i say, try the pre-built xubuntu iso.. its made for getting you what you are doing | 16:33 |
| yoLo_ | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1) | 16:33 |
| holstein | i see those when having multiple package managers open.. etc | 16:34 |
| pencilandpaper | yoLo_: do me a favor and enter: sudo apt-get install -f | 16:34 |
| pencilandpaper | tell me what that says after you enter that please. | 16:34 |
| yoLo_ | pencilandpaper: E: dpkg interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem | 16:38 |
| yoLo_ | should i do it ? | 16:38 |
| holstein | you need to let those tasks complete.. and, i would check "sudo apt-get update" and see that the sources are working.. | 16:39 |
| holstein | it wont hurt to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a", though, i bet this is a symptom of another issue.. | 16:39 |
| yoLo_ | ok so i should try sudo apt-get update | 16:40 |
| holstein | i think ,as far as my suggestions for "should", i think you should just use the prebuilt xubuntu iso.. but, right now, you have errors with the packaging system | 16:41 |
| holstein | running "sudo apt-get update" should either, update your cache, or print errors about what sources, if any, are not working.. | 16:41 |
| holstein | you can also try the message the system suggested, "sudo dpkg --configure -a", but, this wouldnt address the sources not connecting, if that is the issue | 16:42 |
| yoLo_ | damn.. now i'm getting a tons of errors while this update is still in progress.. it's going fast unable to read | 16:44 |
| holstein | you shouldnt do things while that update is in process.. you'll have to patiently wait on it to complete | 16:44 |
| yoLo_ | so far there's been about 14 Errros | 16:44 |
| yoLo_ | i'm not | 16:44 |
| yoLo_ | doing anything | 16:44 |
| holstein | anyways.. messages are not always errors. or issues.. | 16:45 |
| yoLo_ | well not it's just hanging... Failed to execute operation: Connection timed out | 16:48 |
| holstein | thats why i think it would be beneficial to check the sources.. and make sure "sudo apt-get update" completes as expected | 16:49 |
| yoLo_ | Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 | 16:49 |
| yoLo_ | sudo apt-get update is still in progress i believe so.. but it looks like it's been stalled by that Errors | 16:50 |
| holstein | yoLo_: you need to wait.. | 16:50 |
| yoLo_ | i am :| | 16:50 |
| holstein | yoLo_: *after* the update you have initiated is complete, then, you run sudo apt-get update, and troubleshoot the errors, if any | 16:51 |
| pencilandpaper | sorry i got a phonecall. :( | 16:53 |
| yoLo_ | holstein: unfortunately i don't think the update will be going on anytime soon.. | 16:55 |
| yoLo_ | it has been completely stalled :| | 16:55 |
| holstein | yoLo_: it can appear to be.. | 16:55 |
| yoLo_ | i'm still waiting.. cursor still blinking | 16:55 |
| yoLo_ | holstein: i think it's gotten into a loop at which it will never be able to recover.. | 16:58 |
| pencilandpaper | what is it saying in terminal right now yoLo_ ? | 16:59 |
| yoLo_ | Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24) | 17:04 |
| yoLo_ | pencilandpaper: | 17:04 |
| yoLo_ | Failed to execute operation: Connection time out | 17:04 |
| yoLo_ | it's been 16 minutesright now | 17:05 |
| yoLo_ | still hanging | 17:05 |
| pencilandpaper | is there a cursor after that..did it go back to your username? | 17:05 |
| pencilandpaper | a new prompt? | 17:05 |
| pencilandpaper | so that you can type? | 17:06 |
| yoLo_ | nope | 17:07 |
| yoLo_ | there is a cursor | 17:07 |
| yoLo_ | but hasn;t returned user | 17:07 |
| pencilandpaper | ok thanks yoLo_ . | 17:07 |
| pencilandpaper | bummer, go and restart and see what you see when you get back..if you see nothing again hit ctrl+alt+F1 to get back to a terminal ok? | 17:08 |
| pencilandpaper | then let us know when you are there again please. | 17:08 |
| yoLo_ | ok | 17:11 |
| yoLo_ | well pencilandpaper now i can't even get into tty | 17:14 |
| pencilandpaper | really? :( | 17:16 |
| yoLo_ | not at all.. | 17:18 |
| yoLo_ | has this anything to do with the fact that my hard drive is an ssd ? | 17:20 |
| xubuntu58w | hi | 17:22 |
| pencilandpaper | yoLo_: do you need 32bit or 64bit? | 17:22 |
| pencilandpaper | i think that its using the minimal cd yoLo_ , and it just having issues getting things done for you. | 17:22 |
| pencilandpaper | hi xubuntu58w . | 17:23 |
| xubuntu58w | it is just a matter of systemd question | 17:23 |
| yoLo_ | 64-bit PC (amd64, x86_64) | 17:23 |
| pencilandpaper | are you in the united states yoLo_ ? | 17:24 |
| xubuntu58w | I am confusing with systemd integration onto Xubuntu.? | 17:25 |
| yoLo_ | pencilandpaper: i'm in canada | 17:25 |
| pencilandpaper | ok thanks. | 17:25 |
| yoLo_ | for the mirror i chose united states | 17:25 |
| yoLo_ | i'm installing the whole thing over again | 17:25 |
| pencilandpaper | http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/xubuntu-releases/15.04/release/xubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso <--- yoLo_ . | 17:26 |
| pencilandpaper | that way you can atleast once installed you can boot right to desktop with a full install. if you have a data plan that only allows for a certain amount each day, then grab a torrent file. | 17:27 |
| pencilandpaper | once you max out, close your torrent client, then start it again the next day. | 17:27 |
| yoLo_ | pencilandpaper: thanks if this installation doesn't go well i'll burn your image to a disk and install it | 17:28 |
| max12345 | I have an old version of qt i'm having trouble with. I can't uninstall it. | 17:28 |
| pencilandpaper | ok yoLo_ ..and good luck. | 17:28 |
| pencilandpaper | max12345: did you install the new version already? | 17:29 |
| max12345 | pencilandpaper, yep | 17:29 |
| yoLo_ | pencilandpaper: this mirror site you've provided isn't a torrent version | 17:29 |
| yoLo_ | it's actually the data itself | 17:29 |
| pencilandpaper | ok, try sudo apt-get update and see what if those old qt libs are listed max12345 . | 17:29 |
| pencilandpaper | if they are listed and it recommends using sudo apt-get autoremove..do so to remove them. | 17:29 |
| pencilandpaper | correct yoLo_ . | 17:30 |
| pencilandpaper | so the torrent file you will have to go and get at the site. i didnt think of that until later. | 17:30 |
| xubuntu58w | Why Xubutnu 15.04 still uses init based script for its service initialization even systemd is used.? | 17:31 |
| pencilandpaper | i am not so sure that its full systemd yet xubuntu58w , i could be wrong about that. | 17:32 |
| pencilandpaper | i dont follow systemd that much and have uninstalled it on my system since i dont agree with it in general. | 17:32 |
| max12345 | nope , pencilandpaper not listed | 17:33 |
| xubuntu58w | Ohh, that mean Xubuntu decided to stick with Upstart further, even Kubuntu & Ubuntu fully integrate with systemd.? | 17:34 |
| yoLo_ | is it important to install GRUB though i have only one OS ? | 17:36 |
| yoLo_ | any good burner for windows i could use to burn this iso ? | 17:42 |
| yoLo_ | pencilandpaper: apt-get update was successful this time | 17:42 |
| yoLo_ | now i installing the xubuntu-desktop | 17:43 |
| yoLo_ | i'll wait to see how that goes | 17:43 |
| genii | yoLo_: ImgBurn | 17:43 |
| pencilandpaper | ok nice yoLo_ . :) | 17:44 |
| pencilandpaper | yes yoLo_ , well i am hoping that grub will be installed along with xubuntu-desktop yoLo_ . | 17:44 |
| yoLo_ | after minimal installation completed i still had to go through tty though | 17:46 |
| yoLo_ | i;m assuming that the united stated mirror is corrupted | 17:46 |
| holstein | why? | 17:47 |
| holstein | *im* on the us mirror.. anyways, it could be you cant access it for some reason.. why not use the full xubuntu iso? | 17:48 |
| yoLo_ | holstein: everything seems to be working perfectly now | 17:50 |
| yoLo_ | i'm waiting for the xubuntu-desktop to install | 17:50 |
| yoLo_ | no error so far | 17:50 |
| yoLo_ | :( | 17:51 |
| yoLo_ | nevermind what i just said | 17:51 |
| pencilandpaper | nice yoLo_ . | 17:52 |
| yoLo_ | this is such a pain | 17:55 |
| yoLo_ | pencilandpaper: now i will try your image | 17:55 |
| yoLo_ | i do not require the internet to install yours i guess | 17:56 |
| pencilandpaper | yoLo_: wait, what you were doing didnt work? | 17:58 |
| yoLo_ | pencilandpaper: installing the xubuntu-desktop | 17:58 |
| pencilandpaper | well then you should let that finish, because when that is done it will be the same thing. | 17:59 |
| yoLo_ | 1.04minutes until completion i got the systmd Error | 17:59 |
| pencilandpaper | o ok i see yoLo_ ..well then yeah go to with the image that i sent bro. | 18:01 |
| pencilandpaper | that will install right to what you want. a full OS. | 18:01 |
| yoLo_ | recommended that i connect to the internet ? | 18:01 |
| yoLo_ | during installation ? | 18:01 |
| holstein | i dont | 18:02 |
| yoLo_ | ok | 18:02 |
| holstein | i just install, *then*, i do the updates afterwards.. | 18:02 |
| yoLo_ | ok | 18:02 |
| pencilandpaper | yeah, thats up to you yoLo_ . | 18:04 |
| yoLo_ | thanks for the help pencilandpaper , holstein | 18:11 |
| yoLo_ | why is xubuntu soo..... blue ? | 18:13 |
| holstein | you can easily theme it as you please.. | 18:13 |
| pencilandpaper | yw yoLo_ . | 18:18 |
| pencilandpaper | xubuntu has been blue as long as i have ever used it. lol | 18:18 |
| yoLo_ | why am i being offered to upgrade to 15.04 when i'm currently on 15.04 | 18:20 |
| yoLo_ | but the system updater ? | 18:20 |
| yoLo_ | by the* | 18:21 |
| holstein | yoLo_: what would i do? simply close that, open a terminal, and run "sudo apt-get update".. see that there are no errors, then, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 18:21 |
| pencilandpaper | ^ | 18:24 |
| yoLo_ | that's what i did | 18:25 |
| yoLo_ | no errors | 18:25 |
| pencilandpaper | nice, so its up to date then yoLo_ ? | 18:25 |
| yoLo_ | yes | 18:27 |
| pencilandpaper | cool, well now you are in good shape. :) | 18:27 |
| pencilandpaper | you know how to install software that you want right? | 18:27 |
| yoLo_ | yea prett much | 18:28 |
| yoLo_ | pretty* | 18:28 |
| pencilandpaper | ok, you can do that right from the software-center yoLo_ . | 18:29 |
