[05:27] <Chonto> hi
[05:28] <glitchd> hi
[05:28] <Chonto> i am downloading my first linux distro today to put on my pc at work
[05:29] <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/
[05:30] <glitchd> LookingForAHand, ive got 2, whats up?
[05:30] <LookingForAHand> kek
[05:30] <Chonto> only 2?
[05:30] <Chonto> you're practically disabled
[05:31] <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'
[05:32] <glitchd> LookingForAHand, so download another xubuntu.iso and remake the usb.
[05:32] <LookingForAHand> lmao I've been doing that for ~2 weeks now
[05:33] <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
[05:34] <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?
[05:35] <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
[05:37] <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
[05:38] <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
[05:48] <xangua> What release?
[05:49] <xangua> Oh 16,04
[05:49] <Chonto> xubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64
[05:49] <Chonto> that lol
[05:50] <glitchd> LookingForAHand, by chance are there any other devices plugged into the machine that gives u the error?
[05:51] <xangua> What PC? UEFI?
[05:55] <Chonto> i'm trying to download xubuntu and have gotten glitter all over the place
[05:55] <Chonto> idk what i did wrong
[05:57] <xangua> Trying? Thought you were installing
[05:58] <Chonto> nah still downloading. literally just began 5 mins ago
[05:58] <Chonto> cleaning glitter now
[05:59] <xangua> Downloading? Re downloading?
[05:59] <Chonto> first download. i decided to dive into this yesterday
[06:11] <Chonto> so i can just load the 1.2gb iso onto a usb drive and boot from it?
[06:11] <Chonto> lookingforahand mentioned unetbootin
[06:12] <INeedAHandHere> It worked
[06:12] <INeedAHandHere> Thanks dudes
[06:12] <Chonto> huzzah
[06:12] <Chonto> all you had to do was rename the file?
[06:13] <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?
[06:14] <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
[06:15] <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
[06:16] <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
[06:17] <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
[06:18] <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
[06:19] <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
[06:20] <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
[06:21] <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
[06:22] <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
[06:23] <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
[06:24] <Chonto> ahaha alright
[12:21] <chonto> so i put xubuntu 16.10 onto a usb stick using Universal USB Installer
[12:22] <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
[12:23] <chonto> in the boot menu, it only has windows and the USB. doesn't list anything else new
[12:24] <MoBeats> are you sure you installed grub on to the hdd, not the usb?
[12:27] <chonto> i believe so. the drive i worked on was 1tb in size... it's only a 4gb usb lol
[12:28] <chonto> i've got more reading to do :x
[18:26] <slee> hi, why does software center take so long to load in 16.04?
[18:35] <kafran> Hey guys, can someone update me about the annoying thunar bug?
[19:36] <zorgrian> Installing 16.04
[19:36] <zorgrian> anything in 16.10 thats good and not flakey?
