[00:00] i went to the xubuntu website and read about some issues that the 15.10 and i want to format my usb sticks so i can make a new usb flash for xubuntu lts, but it keeps crashing and at the site said there is another method and i cant figure it out for the life of me on how to do this [00:00] !usb [00:00] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:00] that goes over a couple methods [00:02] i read them both through twice and i understand how to make the usb flash drive. I first format my usb stick with the disk program and then i use unetbootin to make the flash install. I try to keep an up to date usb flash drive for lts and one for the most current. its just dont understand the other method [00:02] the_rooter: disk program? what one> [00:03] its just called disks [00:03] ok [00:03] i use that to format my usb drive and it doesnt go through it fails [00:03] the_rooter: I use that all the time [00:03] 2 ticks [00:04] the_rooter: so make sure you have the right drive highlighted < IMPORTANT [00:04] i know it worked for the lts version but under the current 15.10 it says its a bug and to use another method. [00:04] then in the menu, restore disk image and it will do what you want [00:04] it crashes when i do that [00:05] the_rooter: mmm [00:05] at the website it sayss there is an issue with this same thing i am having under 15.10 and to use another method [00:05] ok well it uses dd as far as I know [00:05] its wierd [00:06] which website? the ubuntu wiki or us? [00:06] hold on let me check the exact site [00:06] the_rooter: all the mthods have been a pain for at least a year - the ubuntu tool should have been fixed now [00:09] that is wierd......i just checked after trying like 5 times and it just now let me format it. thanks and sorry [00:09] or fixed in wily [00:09] i think i caught my mistkae [00:09] the_rooter: no problem - disks has been the most reliable in my experience [00:09] which one do u use wily or the stable release [00:11] * flocculant is trying to lead the QA team, I've been using xenial a day or so after wily landed - so ... if you wanted to hang about on a particular day and see if YOU could really help - which I expect you could, then https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2015-December/010985.html [00:11] :) [00:12] testing is one of the places people can help without doing too much - no coding required :p [00:13] ok thanks [00:13] welcome :) [02:30] hey guys i am back with another wierd issue on making a usb flash drive. i use the program disks to format to fat32 and the unetbootin to make the flash file and when i go to reboot it says syslink error [02:30] any ideas? [02:33] sorry meant syslinux === xangua_ is now known as xangua [07:26] May be take the code for the L2TP/PPTP from openwrt or dd-wrt to use L2TP in Xubuntu and PPTP worked fine. === benonsoftware is now known as MerryChristmas [14:44] I unlocked my laptop and all of a sudden it says "Networking disabled" and it most definitely is not disabled anyhow physically, nor did I do anything to disable it [17:40] is it possible to somehow still add favourites in new thunar [17:40] in the side bar [18:42] also I would like to know how can I get the text horizontal in the taskbar when put in vertical mode, as default all the text is also vertical [18:43] horizontally* [19:04] Guest11856, right click on a directory --> send to --> side pane.
