[00:00] i guess you have access to another computer? [00:00] desktop [00:00] if you put the USB drive in that computer, how does the contents of it look like? [00:00] (the directory listing) [00:00] do you have a single file, or multiple? [00:02] 4 files, fourth is a folder labeled LOCALE [00:02] that doesn't sound right... [00:03] file names: xubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso [00:03] autorun (icon file type?) [00:04] yeah, that's not right. you shouldn't have the ISO file on the USB drive [00:04] autorun (setup info) [00:04] and the locale folder [00:04] 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 [00:05] the steps listed at https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows are fine with xubuntu as well [00:05] should i wipe this stick and start over? [00:05] rufus will do that for you - just make sure you copy the ISO over from it before you run it [00:06] k, give me a sec [00:06] thx btw [00:06] you're welcome [00:13] so i dragged and dropped, and copy pasted the file to my hard drive and still cannot find the file [00:14] ok... [00:14] i'm not sure how i can help with that :) [00:17] 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 [00:19] going to try and format from my pc instead [00:25] rebooting pc [00:32] ok knome, i'm back [00:34] yes? [00:36] every attempt to copy the iso file to my hard drive results in nothing [00:36] even when I know specifically where it goes [00:37] so... you are on your desktop machine copying the file, right? [00:37] yes [00:37] 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 [00:38] ok [00:39] is the issue that it's a torrent file? do i need to extract it or something? [00:41] found it, but when i selected it said to choose a bootable image [00:41] no, it's nothing to do with torrents and no, you don't need to (and you shouldn't extract it) [00:41] found the .iso or the .torrent? [00:43] file name is xubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso file type is listed as bittorrent URI [00:43] what's the file size? [00:44] 48 KB [00:44] ok.. that's the torrent file. [00:44] do you know how to use torrents? [00:44] not really. [00:44] ok, then you should download the ISO directly [00:45] xubuntu34w, download this: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/16.04/release/xubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso (note: file size 1.2GB) [00:46] here's where i got the file: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ [00:46] 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] anyway, use the link i posted above to download the actual ISO file [00:47] k, downloading now [00:47] gonna be a sec [00:48] yes, i guessed [01:08] formatting now [01:20] brb [01:36] @knome, back and formatted [01:37] by formatted, do you mean you followed the instructions on using rufus to put the ISO on the USB drive? [01:38] yeah, looks like it's working, on the splash screen [01:38] ok, good to hear === CHVNX is now known as Guest79924 === Guest79924 is now known as Disaxis === glitchd__ is now known as glitchd === FireStriker_ is now known as FireStriker === PaulW2U_ is now known as PaulW2U === mote is now known as Guest43516 [12:23] hi! [12:24] with the 16.04 installer started from a live iso - how to create an installation with encrypted swap space? [12:24] 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 [12:29] with the 16.04 installer started from a live iso - how to create an installation with encrypted swap space?
