[01:13] Aynone know how to get the wifi working on fresh install? [01:13] using broadcom [01:13] i don't see "wifi in the connections" tab [01:15] 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359] [01:18] nvm [01:18] got it [01:18] !broadcom [01:18] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx === glitchd_ is now known as glitchd [05:27] hi [05:28] hi [05:28] i am downloading my first linux distro today to put on my pc at work [05:29] congrats? [05:29] Hey [05:29] yessum? [05:29] is xubuntu good for first timers? [05:29] sure [05:29] \o/ [05:30] LookingForAHand, ive got 2, whats up? [05:30] kek [05:30] only 2? [05:30] you're practically disabled [05:31] you seem slightly mutated.. [05:31] 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] i prefer the term 'differently abled' [05:32] LookingForAHand, so download another xubuntu.iso and remake the usb. [05:32] lmao I've been doing that for ~2 weeks now [05:33] how are u making the usb then? [05:33] UNetBootin [05:33] I also tried using dd on another Linux system but that didn't work at all. [05:33] your probably not making it correctly in unetbootin then if it continually gives the same error [05:34] again you didnt use dd correctly then [05:34] i made a usb with dd today [05:34] Huh [05:34] what command did u use with dd? [05:35] 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] I used dd if=xubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc1 bs=4M [05:37] i would rename the iso to just xubuntu.iso and i would try changing sdc1 to sdc instead [05:37] Alright thanks fam [05:37] I'll give that a shot, see what that turns up. [05:37] Fingers crossed. [05:37] hope it works for ya [05:38] you can try booting it on the computer your on just to test it before u take it to work [05:38] *you should try [05:48] What release? [05:49] Oh 16,04 [05:49] xubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64 [05:49] that lol [05:50] LookingForAHand, by chance are there any other devices plugged into the machine that gives u the error? [05:51] What PC? UEFI? [05:55] i'm trying to download xubuntu and have gotten glitter all over the place [05:55] idk what i did wrong [05:57] Trying? Thought you were installing [05:58] nah still downloading. literally just began 5 mins ago [05:58] cleaning glitter now [05:59] Downloading? Re downloading? [05:59] first download. i decided to dive into this yesterday [06:11] so i can just load the 1.2gb iso onto a usb drive and boot from it? [06:11] lookingforahand mentioned unetbootin [06:12] It worked [06:12] Thanks dudes [06:12] huzzah [06:12] all you had to do was rename the file? [06:13] Also flash the image to /dev/sdc as opposed to /dev/sdc1 [06:13] i'll be crossing that river shortly. noted [06:13] You're getting ready to install Xubuntu? [06:14] yup. first time with anything linux [06:14] You'll like it. Xubuntu is pretty easy to use. [06:14] It's also hard to break, but somehow, I find a way to do so around this time of year [06:14] 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] haha [06:15] yeah lots of folks recommended it [06:15] Yeah [06:15] Don' [06:15] t be afraid of the terminal [06:15] It is your friend [06:15] Your dude [06:15] your bromanski [06:15] Yes [06:15] that thing [06:15] 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] now i got a desk job and lots of free time [06:16] I'm actually getting ready to do my first build here real soon [06:16] so why not learn \o/ [06:16] very nice [06:16] going all out? :D [06:16] T h e m o r e y o u k n o w [06:16] $500 dollar budget, I'm po' [06:16] ayy you gotta start somewhere [06:17] invest in a good case and mobo and everything else can be replaced over time [06:17] Also I hope you don't have an AMD graphics card [06:17] haha... i do :x [06:17] Oh... fug. [06:17] AMD drivers are jank on linux. [06:17] really... interesting. why? [06:17] so many people use em [06:18] IDK. Amd doesn't really care about Linux AFAIK. The open-source crivers might be good by now, I haven't checked [06:18] *drivers [06:19] i'll keep it in mind. i'm not allowed to tinker with the work pc [06:19] I just use open source and Radeon DPM, running unity [06:19] Should be fine [06:19] nor do i wanna spend money doing so haha [06:19] Open source drivers* just fine [06:19] As long as you don' [06:19] t play too many intensive vidya grames you should be fine [06:19] oh no no... this is purely work and learning related [06:20] no gaming [06:20] Oh, you'll be fiiiiine [06:20] he says, convincingly [06:20] Just be very skeptical whenever something says to update libc. That's how I broke mine last year. [06:20] thanks for the heads up though cuz someday i'll want linux on my home pc [06:21] noted [06:21] Assuming you like it. [06:21] Obv [06:21] i believe i will [06:21] Assuming you are alive tomorrow [06:21] -gulps- [06:21] Also you don't have to worry about AV which is fun [06:22] X a n g u a [06:22] You do, if you work with windows users [06:22] 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] Oh yeah, you do [06:23] what's easier for me as a noob, trying to do a VM or boot from a USB? [06:23] Why virtual? Go real! [06:23] Like, install Linux in a VM, or install it as it's own host OS? [06:23] They're both about the same difficulty [06:24] ahaha alright === PaulW2U_ is now known as PaulW2U [12:21] so i put xubuntu 16.10 onto a usb stick using Universal USB Installer [12:22] i boot from the usb and i can run from it no prob [12:22] i installed it onto the HDD after verifying it was ok [12:22] but i see nothing now about it when i wanna boot to it [12:23] in the boot menu, it only has windows and the USB. doesn't list anything else new [12:24] are you sure you installed grub on to the hdd, not the usb? [12:27] i believe so. the drive i worked on was 1tb in size... it's only a 4gb usb lol [12:28] i've got more reading to do :x === IdleOne is now known as Guest34309 [18:26] hi, why does software center take so long to load in 16.04? [18:35] Hey guys, can someone update me about the annoying thunar bug? [19:36] Installing 16.04 [19:36] anything in 16.10 thats good and not flakey?
