| Chonto | hi | 05:27 |
| glitchd | hi | 05:28 |
| Chonto | i am downloading my first linux distro today to put on my pc at work | 05:28 |
| glitchd | congrats? | 05:29 |
| LookingForAHand | Hey | 05:29 |
| glitchd | yessum? | 05:29 |
| Chonto | is xubuntu good for first timers? | 05:29 |
| glitchd | sure | 05:29 |
| Chonto | \o/ | 05:29 |
| glitchd | LookingForAHand, ive got 2, whats up? | 05:30 |
| LookingForAHand | kek | 05:30 |
| Chonto | only 2? | 05:30 |
| Chonto | you're practically disabled | 05:30 |
| glitchd | you seem slightly mutated.. | 05:31 |
| LookingForAHand | Legit though, I've been having a lot of trouble with the Xubuntu installer as of late. It keeps spitting out an error that ubi-partman has crashed. | 05:31 |
| Chonto | i prefer the term 'differently abled' | 05:31 |
| glitchd | LookingForAHand, so download another xubuntu.iso and remake the usb. | 05:32 |
| LookingForAHand | lmao I've been doing that for ~2 weeks now | 05:32 |
| glitchd | how are u making the usb then? | 05:33 |
| LookingForAHand | UNetBootin | 05:33 |
| LookingForAHand | I also tried using dd on another Linux system but that didn't work at all. | 05:33 |
| glitchd | your probably not making it correctly in unetbootin then if it continually gives the same error | 05:33 |
| glitchd | again you didnt use dd correctly then | 05:34 |
| glitchd | i made a usb with dd today | 05:34 |
| LookingForAHand | Huh | 05:34 |
| glitchd | what command did u use with dd? | 05:34 |
| LookingForAHand | Yeah I've tried doing it with several diff. ISOs, using UnetBootin in Windows and linux, dd, even sticks that used to work aren't working anymore. | 05:35 |
| LookingForAHand | I used dd if=xubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc1 bs=4M | 05:35 |
| glitchd | i would rename the iso to just xubuntu.iso and i would try changing sdc1 to sdc instead | 05:37 |
| LookingForAHand | Alright thanks fam | 05:37 |
| LookingForAHand | I'll give that a shot, see what that turns up. | 05:37 |
| LookingForAHand | Fingers crossed. | 05:37 |
| glitchd | hope it works for ya | 05:37 |
| glitchd | you can try booting it on the computer your on just to test it before u take it to work | 05:38 |
| glitchd | *you should try | 05:38 |
| xangua | What release? | 05:48 |
| xangua | Oh 16,04 | 05:49 |
| Chonto | xubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64 | 05:49 |
| Chonto | that lol | 05:49 |
| glitchd | LookingForAHand, by chance are there any other devices plugged into the machine that gives u the error? | 05:50 |
| xangua | What PC? UEFI? | 05:51 |
| Chonto | i'm trying to download xubuntu and have gotten glitter all over the place | 05:55 |
| Chonto | idk what i did wrong | 05:55 |
| xangua | Trying? Thought you were installing | 05:57 |
| Chonto | nah still downloading. literally just began 5 mins ago | 05:58 |
| Chonto | cleaning glitter now | 05:58 |
| xangua | Downloading? Re downloading? | 05:59 |
| Chonto | first download. i decided to dive into this yesterday | 05:59 |
| Chonto | so i can just load the 1.2gb iso onto a usb drive and boot from it? | 06:11 |
| Chonto | lookingforahand mentioned unetbootin | 06:11 |
| INeedAHandHere | It worked | 06:12 |
| INeedAHandHere | Thanks dudes | 06:12 |
| Chonto | huzzah | 06:12 |
| Chonto | all you had to do was rename the file? | 06:12 |
| INeedAHandHere | Also flash the image to /dev/sdc as opposed to /dev/sdc1 | 06:13 |
| Chonto | i'll be crossing that river shortly. noted | 06:13 |
| INeedAHandHere | You're getting ready to install Xubuntu? | 06:13 |
| Chonto | yup. first time with anything linux | 06:14 |
| INeedAHandHere | You'll like it. Xubuntu is pretty easy to use. | 06:14 |
| INeedAHandHere | It's also hard to break, but somehow, I find a way to do so around this time of year | 06:14 |
| Chonto | downloading a bunch of cheat sheets and got the official docs. no idea what most of this stuff is but i'm sure it'll be handy | 06:14 |
| Chonto | haha | 06:14 |
| Chonto | yeah lots of folks recommended it | 06:15 |
| INeedAHandHere | Yeah | 06:15 |
| INeedAHandHere | Don' | 06:15 |
| INeedAHandHere | t be afraid of the terminal | 06:15 |
| INeedAHandHere | It is your friend | 06:15 |
| INeedAHandHere | Your dude | 06:15 |
| Chonto | your bromanski | 06:15 |
| INeedAHandHere | Yes | 06:15 |
| INeedAHandHere | that thing | 06:15 |
| Chonto | i've been messing with pc's since i was a kid. i can build 'em but i've only ever used windows | 06:15 |
| Chonto | now i got a desk job and lots of free time | 06:15 |
| INeedAHandHere | I'm actually getting ready to do my first build here real soon | 06:16 |
| Chonto | so why not learn \o/ | 06:16 |
| Chonto | very nice | 06:16 |
| Chonto | going all out? :D | 06:16 |
| INeedAHandHere | T h e m o r e y o u k n o w | 06:16 |
| INeedAHandHere | $500 dollar budget, I'm po' | 06:16 |
| Chonto | ayy you gotta start somewhere | 06:16 |
| Chonto | invest in a good case and mobo and everything else can be replaced over time | 06:17 |
| INeedAHandHere | Also I hope you don't have an AMD graphics card | 06:17 |
| Chonto | haha... i do :x | 06:17 |
| INeedAHandHere | Oh... fug. | 06:17 |
| INeedAHandHere | AMD drivers are jank on linux. | 06:17 |
| Chonto | really... interesting. why? | 06:17 |
| Chonto | so many people use em | 06:17 |
| INeedAHandHere | IDK. Amd doesn't really care about Linux AFAIK. The open-source crivers might be good by now, I haven't checked | 06:18 |
| INeedAHandHere | *drivers | 06:18 |
| Chonto | i'll keep it in mind. i'm not allowed to tinker with the work pc | 06:19 |
| xangua | I just use open source and Radeon DPM, running unity | 06:19 |
| INeedAHandHere | Should be fine | 06:19 |
| Chonto | nor do i wanna spend money doing so haha | 06:19 |
| xangua | Open source drivers* just fine | 06:19 |
| INeedAHandHere | As long as you don' | 06:19 |
| INeedAHandHere | t play too many intensive vidya grames you should be fine | 06:19 |
| Chonto | oh no no... this is purely work and learning related | 06:19 |
| Chonto | no gaming | 06:20 |
| INeedAHandHere | Oh, you'll be fiiiiine | 06:20 |
| Chonto | he says, convincingly | 06:20 |
| INeedAHandHere | Just be very skeptical whenever something says to update libc. That's how I broke mine last year. | 06:20 |
| Chonto | thanks for the heads up though cuz someday i'll want linux on my home pc | 06:20 |
| Chonto | noted | 06:21 |
| INeedAHandHere | Assuming you like it. | 06:21 |
| INeedAHandHere | Obv | 06:21 |
| Chonto | i believe i will | 06:21 |
| xangua | Assuming you are alive tomorrow | 06:21 |
| Chonto | -gulps- | 06:21 |
| INeedAHandHere | Also you don't have to worry about AV which is fun | 06:21 |
| INeedAHandHere | X a n g u a | 06:22 |
| xangua | You do, if you work with windows users | 06:22 |
| INeedAHandHere | S t o p m a k i n g t h i n l y v e i l e d d e a t h t h r e a t s | 06:22 |
| INeedAHandHere | Oh yeah, you do | 06:22 |
| Chonto | what's easier for me as a noob, trying to do a VM or boot from a USB? | 06:23 |
| xangua | Why virtual? Go real! | 06:23 |
| INeedAHandHere | Like, install Linux in a VM, or install it as it's own host OS? | 06:23 |
| INeedAHandHere | They're both about the same difficulty | 06:23 |
| Chonto | ahaha alright | 06:24 |
| === PaulW2U_ is now known as PaulW2U | ||
| chonto | so i put xubuntu 16.10 onto a usb stick using Universal USB Installer | 12:21 |
| chonto | i boot from the usb and i can run from it no prob | 12:22 |
| chonto | i installed it onto the HDD after verifying it was ok | 12:22 |
| chonto | but i see nothing now about it when i wanna boot to it | 12:22 |
| chonto | in the boot menu, it only has windows and the USB. doesn't list anything else new | 12:23 |
| MoBeats | are you sure you installed grub on to the hdd, not the usb? | 12:24 |
| chonto | i believe so. the drive i worked on was 1tb in size... it's only a 4gb usb lol | 12:27 |
| chonto | i've got more reading to do :x | 12:28 |
