| Maynard | Downloading my third attempt at ISO to bootable flash. I need 16.04 and 64 bit to get Chrome? | 00:42 |
| cfhowlett | chrome 32 bit no longer supported | 00:43 |
| Maynard | cfhowlett_thanks | 01:29 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help! Maynard | 01:29 |
| Maynard | You know if UNetbootin is a good iso to bootable flash? Someone insisted in chat that I had to start over...... that was 7 hours or so ago. Working with a zippy 500Mb/Sec here in the sticks. | 01:31 |
| cfhowlett | Maynard, this is why you use torrents. | 01:31 |
| cfhowlett | not direct download. torrents are usually faster. | 01:32 |
| cfhowlett | unetbootin should work | 01:32 |
| Maynard | the first 2 torrents I tried were 7-8 hours dl time. | 01:32 |
| Maynard | AFTER all the users piped in! | 01:33 |
| Maynard | After that the ISO failed and wouldn't boot anyhow so I had to dig for another stick that I'm currently using as a HD. SOmething with storage controller won't even see good drives I can write to. | 01:34 |
| Maynard | cfhowlett_ | 01:35 |
| Maynard | oops | 01:35 |
| cfhowlett | torrents have much stronger integrity checking than direct download. | 01:35 |
| Maynard | what do you mean integrity checking? | 01:47 |
| cfhowlett | internal checks to ensure that the data downloaded matches the data source. same function you (should always) perform with md5sum | 01:48 |
| Maynard | But the OG one that this other user insisted I erase to start over with came FROM ubuntu? How could torrent be better than from the Ubuntu's very own site? Also, talk like I'm a kid cause all this Ubuntu shite is totally new to me. I do GREAT on Windows. I know what md5sum means but no clue as to how to check it or anything of the sorts. | 01:53 |
| Maynard | PS the OG from Ubuntu booted onto MANY flashes, drives, and SDs even. | 01:54 |
| cfhowlett | Maynard, direct download does not have the safety features of torrent. that's the difference. | 01:54 |
| cfhowlett | the torrent seed comes from ubuntu and the safety checks are performed with ubuntu's source codes. the process is different | 01:55 |
| Maynard | In windows torrents are just as likely to have malware right? | 01:55 |
| Maynard | HOw is it safer in Ubuntu? | 01:55 |
| cfhowlett | direct downloads DO NOT do integrity checks. torrents do integrity checks. | 01:56 |
| cfhowlett | in either case, you should do an md5sum of the .iso once you have it | 01:57 |
| Maynard | ALso the one that failed (torrent) was .25Gb more...... making me think the failure was something someone added. | 01:57 |
| cfhowlett | did you do the md5sum? | 01:57 |
| Maynard | OK care to walk me through that? | 01:57 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum | Maynard | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Maynard: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 01:57 |
| Maynard | so when you type like that that means I type !md5sum in terminal? | 01:58 |
| cfhowlett | no that means read the link from ubottu | 01:58 |
| Maynard | OH I See YOU told it to do that. | 01:59 |
| Maynard | Grrrrrrrrrr..... I didn't get anything there. Got booted off for some reason. | 02:01 |
| cfhowlett | you can't get to the site? | 02:02 |
| Maynard | I was trying to open it and got booted from the chat here. | 02:02 |
| Maynard | !md5sum | 02:03 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 02:03 |
| Maynard | SOrry I have NO CLUE what I just read....... I feel so retarded when it comes to all the completely new names and filenames | 02:16 |

| mwfoshee | Anyone have any explanation for this, I'm Ubuntu Studio 16.04. I've re installed using a usb drive about ten times. everything appears fine yet at some point all my audio-video.graphics menus disappear. I can find and use the Apps using alt-f2 except for ardour and qjacked which seem to be gone altogether. I first thought this was happening as a result of upgradeing Ardour, but I now think it has to do with installing google chr | 21:58 |
| studio-user517 | Installing Studio... It is going fine. | 22:42 |
