[00:00] <the_rooter> 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] <pleia2> !usb
[00:00] <pleia2> that goes over a couple methods
[00:02] <the_rooter> 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] <flocculant> the_rooter: disk program?  what one>
[00:03] <the_rooter> its just called disks
[00:03] <flocculant> ok
[00:03] <the_rooter> i use that to format my usb drive and it doesnt go through it fails
[00:03] <flocculant> the_rooter: I use that all the time
[00:03] <flocculant> 2 ticks
[00:04] <flocculant> the_rooter: so make sure you have the right drive highlighted < IMPORTANT
[00:04] <the_rooter> 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] <flocculant> then in the menu, restore disk image and it will do what you want
[00:04] <the_rooter> it crashes when i do that
[00:05] <flocculant> the_rooter: mmm
[00:05] <the_rooter> 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] <flocculant> ok well it uses dd as far as I know
[00:05] <the_rooter> its wierd
[00:06] <flocculant> which website? the ubuntu wiki or us?
[00:06] <the_rooter> hold on let me check the exact site
[00:06] <flocculant> the_rooter: all the mthods have been a pain for at least a year - the ubuntu tool should have been fixed now
[00:09] <the_rooter> that is wierd......i just checked after trying like 5 times and it just now let me format it. thanks and sorry
[00:09] <flocculant> or fixed in wily
[00:09] <the_rooter> i think i caught my mistkae
[00:09] <flocculant> the_rooter: no problem - disks has been the most reliable in my experience
[00:09] <the_rooter> 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] <flocculant> :)
[00:12] <flocculant> testing is one of the places people can help without doing too much - no coding required :p
[00:13] <the_rooter> ok thanks
[00:13] <flocculant> welcome :)
[02:30] <the_rooter> 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] <the_rooter> any ideas?
[02:33] <the_rooter> sorry meant syslinux
[07:26] <q456533> May be take the code for the L2TP/PPTP from openwrt or dd-wrt to use L2TP in Xubuntu and PPTP worked fine.
[14:44] <sim642> 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] <Guest11856> is it possible to somehow still add favourites in new thunar
[17:40] <Guest11856> in the side bar
[18:42] <Guest11856> 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] <Guest11856> horizontally*
[19:04] <FernandoBasso> Guest11856, right click on a directory --> send to --> side pane. Is that what you mean?
[19:05] <FernandoBasso> For the other question, I don't know.
[19:26] <Guest11856> yes, that helped
[21:31] <SonikkuAmerica> Eek! xfce4-appfinder isn't working!
[21:57] <Guest11856> install Gentoo
