[00:00] <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?
[00:02] <xubuntu02w> 4 files, fourth is a folder labeled LOCALE
[00:02] <knome> that doesn't sound right...
[00:03] <xubuntu02w> file names: xubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
[00:03] <xubuntu02w> autorun (icon file type?)
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <xubuntu02w> k, give me a sec
[00:06] <xubuntu02w> thx btw
[00:06] <knome> you're welcome
[00:13] <xubuntu02w> so i dragged and dropped, and copy pasted the file to my hard drive and still cannot find the file
[00:14] <knome> ok...
[00:14] <knome> i'm not sure how i can help with that :)
[00:17] <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
[00:19] <xubuntu02w> going to try and format from my pc instead
[00:25] <xubuntu02w> rebooting pc
[00:32] <xubuntu34w> ok knome, i'm back
[00:34] <knome> yes?
[00:36] <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
[00:37] <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
[00:38] <xubuntu34w> ok
[00:39] <xubuntu34w> is the issue that it's a torrent file? do i need to extract it or something?
[00:41] <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?
[00:43] <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?
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <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)
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <xubuntu34w> k, downloading now
[00:47] <xubuntu34w> gonna be a sec
[00:48] <knome> yes, i guessed
[01:08] <xubuntu34w> formatting now
[01:20] <xubuntu34w> brb
[01:36] <xubuntu33w> @knome, back and formatted
[01:37] <knome> by formatted, do you mean you followed the instructions on using rufus to put the ISO on the USB drive?
[01:38] <xubuntu33w> yeah, looks like it's working, on the splash screen
[01:38] <knome> ok, good to hear
[12:23] <xubuntu16i> hi!
[12:24] <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
[12:29] <xubuntu16i> with the 16.04 installer started from a live iso - how to create an installation with encrypted swap space?
[12:29] <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
[12:39] <flocculant> xubuntu16i: channel is quiet it seems - try asking in #ubuntu, more eyes there than here
[19:51] <lealu> anybody home?
[19:54] <lealu> <drops pin>     <waiting for echo>
