[09:59] <bazhang> http://www.howtogeek.com/162120/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-your-chromebook-with-crouton/

[10:03] <bazhang> yes correct
[10:03] <xubuntu46w> tried it and it didnt work
[10:04] <bazhang> what is the exact nature of 'didnt work'
[10:05] <xubuntu46w> i could not get into it using sudo startunity
[10:05] <bazhang> thats not an upgrade version command at all
[10:05] <xubuntu46w> do you know how to install the file "xubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent"?
[10:06] <bazhang> thats a torrent, not applicable here
[10:08] <xubuntu46w> how to change from "xfce" to "unity"
[10:09] <bazhang> install the package ubuntu-desktop
[10:09] <bazhang> logout, login , select it
[10:09] <xubuntu46w> how?
[10:09] <bazhang> how to logout? how to select? how what exactly
[10:11] <xubuntu46w> when i logout, it brings me back to the shell
[10:12] <bazhang> did you install the package yet
[10:12] <xubuntu46w> no chance to "select ubuntu-desktop"
[10:12] <xubuntu46w> i guess not
[10:12] <xubuntu46w> how to
[10:12] <bazhang> you need to install it first

[10:15] <xubuntu46w> almost
[10:15] <bazhang> have you ever logged into the system and used it

[10:17] <flocculant> bazhang: I wonder if the upgrade just didn't complete properly here?
[10:18] <xubuntu46w> yes!
[10:18] <bazhang> flocculant, the way he is reporting is sketchy
[10:18] <flocculant> perhaps apt-get install -f would help
[10:18] <bazhang> so follow the guide given above xubuntu46w
[10:18] <xubuntu46w> sorry for reporting sketchyly
[10:18] <flocculant> xubuntu46w: :)
[10:19] <flocculant> it's just hard to follow what and where you are
[10:19] <flocculant> xubuntu46w: open a terminal and run lsb_release -a |pastebinit
[10:20] <flocculant> then give the url you get, at least we'll know exactly where you are
[10:20] <xubuntu46w> sorry, should include the "run"?
[10:20] <flocculant> nope
[10:21] <xubuntu46w> ctrl d and type: lsb_release -a |pastebinit ???
[10:21] <xubuntu46w> sorry
[10:21] <xubuntu46w> ctrl alt t
[10:21] <flocculant> yea

[10:25] <xubuntu46w> error
[10:25] <xubuntu46w> got to go
[10:26] <xubuntu46w> thanks
[13:57] <skafta> Hello to all of you, I want to assign a static ip to my pc (to maintain open ports in filesharing). What should be the simpliest way to?
[14:00] <GridCube> it depends on your router, look how to do that on your router on the internet
[14:01] <GridCube> its different for every router out there, but usually quite trivial
[14:06] <redblade> skafta: you can set a static ip in networkmanager settings, and forward ports using your router's settings. alternatively, a lot of routers (including dd-wrt based ones) allow you to create "static dhcp" by having the router assign a specific ip to a mac address.
[14:08] <skafta> have found it on router side - thanks very much for your help
[14:08] <redblade> if your router offers "static dhcp" as an option, when combined with port forwarding settings, that is the easiest way
[14:08] <redblade> you're welcome :)
[14:08] <redblade> also, avoid use of upnp
[14:09] <redblade> it's more secure to disable upnp and forward ports manually
[17:29] <xubuntu07i> hello everybody
