| knome | i guess you have access to another computer? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu02w | desktop | 00:00 |
| knome | if you put the USB drive in that computer, how does the contents of it look like? | 00:00 |
| knome | (the directory listing) | 00:00 |
| knome | do you have a single file, or multiple? | 00:00 |
| xubuntu02w | 4 files, fourth is a folder labeled LOCALE | 00:02 |
| knome | that doesn't sound right... | 00:02 |
| xubuntu02w | file names: xubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 00:03 |
| xubuntu02w | autorun (icon file type?) | 00:03 |
| knome | yeah, that's not right. you shouldn't have the ISO file on the USB drive | 00:04 |
| xubuntu02w | autorun (setup info) | 00:04 |
| xubuntu02w | and the locale folder | 00:04 |
| knome | what you need to do is copy the ISO file to your HDD, then run rufus again and tell it to use the ISO to create the bootable USB drive | 00:04 |
| knome | the steps listed at https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows are fine with xubuntu as well | 00:05 |
| xubuntu02w | should i wipe this stick and start over? | 00:05 |
| knome | rufus will do that for you - just make sure you copy the ISO over from it before you run it | 00:05 |
| xubuntu02w | k, give me a sec | 00:06 |
| xubuntu02w | thx btw | 00:06 |
| knome | you're welcome | 00:06 |
| xubuntu02w | so i dragged and dropped, and copy pasted the file to my hard drive and still cannot find the file | 00:13 |
| knome | ok... | 00:14 |
| knome | i'm not sure how i can help with that :) | 00:14 |
| xubuntu02w | so it's not moving the file at all. i even created a new folder to dump it into and there's nothing there after moving / copying | 00:17 |
| xubuntu02w | going to try and format from my pc instead | 00:19 |
| xubuntu02w | rebooting pc | 00:25 |
| xubuntu34w | ok knome, i'm back | 00:32 |
| knome | yes? | 00:34 |
| xubuntu34w | every attempt to copy the iso file to my hard drive results in nothing | 00:36 |
| xubuntu34w | even when I know specifically where it goes | 00:36 |
| knome | so... you are on your desktop machine copying the file, right? | 00:37 |
| xubuntu34w | yes | 00:37 |
| knome | again, i'm not sure i can help you with that - in the worst case, download the file again to the HDD into a directory you can find it | 00:37 |
| xubuntu34w | ok | 00:38 |
| xubuntu34w | is the issue that it's a torrent file? do i need to extract it or something? | 00:39 |
| xubuntu34w | found it, but when i selected it said to choose a bootable image | 00:41 |
| knome | no, it's nothing to do with torrents and no, you don't need to (and you shouldn't extract it) | 00:41 |
| knome | found the .iso or the .torrent? | 00:41 |
| xubuntu34w | file name is xubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso file type is listed as bittorrent URI | 00:43 |
| knome | what's the file size? | 00:43 |
| xubuntu34w | 48 KB | 00:44 |
| knome | ok.. that's the torrent file. | 00:44 |
| knome | do you know how to use torrents? | 00:44 |
| xubuntu34w | not really. | 00:44 |
| knome | ok, then you should download the ISO directly | 00:44 |
| knome | xubuntu34w, download this: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/16.04/release/xubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso (note: file size 1.2GB) | 00:45 |
| xubuntu34w | here's where i got the file: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ | 00:46 |
| knome | yes, i'm very aware that the download page points you to torrents... it also says use them if you know how to use them | 00:46 |
| knome | anyway, use the link i posted above to download the actual ISO file | 00:46 |
| xubuntu34w | k, downloading now | 00:47 |
| xubuntu34w | gonna be a sec | 00:47 |
| knome | yes, i guessed | 00:48 |
| xubuntu34w | formatting now | 01:08 |
| xubuntu34w | brb | 01:20 |
| xubuntu33w | @knome, back and formatted | 01:36 |
| knome | by formatted, do you mean you followed the instructions on using rufus to put the ISO on the USB drive? | 01:37 |
| xubuntu33w | yeah, looks like it's working, on the splash screen | 01:38 |
| knome | ok, good to hear | 01:38 |

| xubuntu16i | hi! | 12:23 |
| xubuntu16i | with the 16.04 installer started from a live iso - how to create an installation with encrypted swap space? | 12:24 |
| xubuntu16i | it is able to generate a LUKS device with ONE ext4 partition inside, but I see no way to create swap space inside that partition | 12:24 |

| flocculant | xubuntu16i: channel is quiet it seems - try asking in #ubuntu, more eyes there than here | 12:39 |

| ubottu | lealu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 19:55 |
