| kaerhon | hi #xubuntu | 03:01 |
|---|---|---|
| kaerhon | i have a question about os installation, my machine currently runs xubuntu 15.04, i want to do a fresh install of 16.10, can i make a live usb with the image i'm downloading? | 03:02 |
| krytarik | kaerhon: Sure. | 03:04 |
| krytarik | !usb | 03:04 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 03:04 |
| kaerhon | omg it has its own command | 03:04 |
| kaerhon | thanks krytarik | 03:04 |
| kaerhon | just a question about startup disk creator, what is the package name? | 03:11 |
| krytarik | !info usb-creator-gtk | 03:12 |
| ubottu | usb-creator-gtk (source: usb-creator): create a startup disk using a CD or disc image (for GNOME). In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.3 (yakkety), package size 20 kB, installed size 152 kB (Only available for amd64; i386) | 03:12 |
| kaerhon | haha thanks | 03:12 |

| krytarik | Sure. | 03:13 |
| AppAraat | hi, can anyone confirm whether this tmux config works for you or not? https://bpaste.net/show/5dd13544b30a | 04:27 |
| AppAraat | I see errors on 2.1 | 04:27 |

| kaerhon | hiiii | 15:33 |
| kaerhon | i have more questions about installing xubuntu | 15:33 |
| digbychicken | ok, shoot | 15:34 |
| kaerhon | i made a live usb, booted on it, and ran the disk check thing | 15:34 |
| kaerhon | and it found errors in 2 files | 15:34 |
| kaerhon | (that on 2 usb sticks) | 15:34 |
| digbychicken | you ran the utility looking at the live CD integrity? | 15:35 |
| kaerhon | yes | 15:35 |
| digbychicken | ok...possible you have a bad image (i.e. it could have been corrupted during download) | 15:35 |
| digbychicken | Is there any way you can download a new one and try it? | 15:35 |
| kaerhon | yeah i'm doing it right now :) | 15:35 |
| digbychicken | ok | 15:35 |
| kaerhon | ok that was my question | 15:35 |
| pmjdebruijn | kaerhon: did you check the sha256sum of the downloaded iso? | 15:36 |
| pmjdebruijn | if that checks out, redownloading likely won't help | 15:36 |
| kaerhon | no, i'll do that | 15:36 |
| === MrOpenSource_ is now known as MrOpenSource | ||
| kaerhon | haha yeah that's not the same thing | 15:43 |
| kaerhon | i'll download it again | 15:43 |
| kaerhon | wait i'm stupid | 15:45 |
| kaerhon | no yeah it passed | 15:47 |
| kaerhon | so, new question : what should i do? | 15:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | how did you make the live usb? | 15:49 |
| pmjdebruijn | dd if=./my.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M ? | 15:50 |
| kaerhon | using that method https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#gparted | 15:50 |
| kaerhon | with usb-creator | 15:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | using usb-creator on an old distro to create a live usb for a newer one, has not always worked as well | 15:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | I would use dd | 15:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | do be very very careful to get the device file right | 15:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | otherwise you might end up wiping your harddisk | 15:52 |
| kaerhon | ._. | 15:52 |
| kaerhon | i'm not doing that. | 15:53 |
| kaerhon | not good enough at the command-line game | 15:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | cat /proc/partitions will tell you which is the right one | 15:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | if the ISO is verified to be fine, and you have >1 usb drive show the exactly same issue, the root cause of probably the USB creation process | 15:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | which files are listed as being wrong btw> | 15:54 |
| kaerhon | i didn't see | 15:54 |
| kaerhon | hm | 15:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | it's quite relevant | 15:54 |
| kaerhon | yeah, i didn't see listed files | 15:55 |
| pmjdebruijn | if it's a difference in the sys/isolinux that would be expected | 15:55 |
| pmjdebruijn | kaerhon: run it again and see | 15:55 |
| kaerhon | ok | 15:55 |
| kaerhon | i'll do that when i come back home | 15:55 |
| kaerhon | thanks for the help! | 15:55 |
| kaerhon | see you later | 15:55 |
| AppAraat | what is currently the best way to update grub options to not to display splash for example? | 17:54 |
| genii | In the /etc/default/grub | 17:54 |
| AppAraat | cool, thanks. | 17:55 |
| tonyt- | is there a way to fix sceen tearing? | 18:48 |
| uu | Hi | 19:23 |
| uu | I am trying to remaster xubuntu with uck what should I have to know most...... | 19:24 |
| Randy_ | Hi! I have a question about removing old kernel packages that dpkg can't see. Is there anyone who can help? | 19:40 |
| flocculant | Randy_: what's the issue here - not seen by dpkg but exist in /boot and when you boot? | 19:43 |
| Randy_ | Correct | 19:43 |
| Randy_ | And headers in /usr/src | 19:44 |
| Randy_ | I tried removing them with dpkg --purge but it says they don't exist | 19:44 |
| Randy_ | dpkg doesn't list them either | 19:44 |
| flocculant | I assume left overs from a version upgrade eg 14.04 to 16.04 or something? | 19:45 |
| Randy_ | I think it was 12.04 to 14.04, but yes, I assumed the same thing | 19:46 |
| Randy_ | It's not a huge deal, but they appear to be using up 25% of my inodes | 19:46 |
| Randy_ | So I'd like to clean house | 19:46 |
| flocculant | https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2252894&p=13168979&viewfull=1#post13168979 | 19:48 |
| flocculant | j | 19:48 |
| flocculant | seems just double check - measure twice, cut once - and manually remove them - sudo update-grub should then clean that up iirc | 19:49 |
| flocculant | be careful about that - don't delete the wrong kernel(s) | 19:51 |
| Randy_ | OK, that's kind of what I figured. I was hoping for something more elegant, but if rm is the way to go, I'll probably just leave them there until I run into problems | 19:51 |
| Randy_ | Thanks flocculant! I appreciate your input! Makes me feel better about the possibility of ripping these files out manually. | 19:53 |
| flocculant | I've manually binned them in the past - I think after a version upgrade | 19:56 |
| xubuntu93i | whats about suse destibution as alternate solution for xubuntu? | 20:39 |

| xubuntu00d | Hello | 21:55 |
| xubuntu00d | Is anybody here? | 21:55 |
| krytarik | xubuntu00d: Yes. Hello. | 21:57 |
| xubuntu00d | I'm looking for help with xubuntu.Am I in the right place? | 21:58 |
| krytarik | Totally. | 21:58 |
| xubuntu00d | I would like to install the flash plugin for Opera web browser | 21:59 |
| xubuntu00d | but I don't have idea how. | 21:59 |
| xubuntu00d | I'm using xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS | 22:00 |
| xubuntu00d | Could you help me,please? | 22:00 |
| AppAraat | Opera, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. | 22:01 |
| krytarik | xubuntu00d: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser explains it. | 22:02 |
| AppAraat | btw, if you just want to watch Youtube videos it is possible even without Flash. | 22:02 |
| xubuntu00d | YouTube works fine because it uses HTML5 but some movies sites still require flash to be installed. | 22:04 |
| xubuntu00d | Let me check the link | 22:04 |
| kaerhon | hi, #xubuntu | 22:07 |
| kaerhon | oh | 22:08 |
| xubuntu99w | mv: cannot evaluate 'unpackchrome/opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so': No file or folder of this type | 22:09 |
| xubuntu99w | This error shows up after typing the command to install flash | 22:09 |
| xubuntu99w | sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install | 22:09 |
| AppAraat | if anything, you could also try Chrome which has Flash built-in and sandboxed. That means that it's more secure than standalone plugin installation like the method described in that documentation. | 22:10 |
| xubuntu99w | Does chrome has a built in VPN like opera does? | 22:10 |
| xubuntu99w | have* | 22:10 |
| xubuntu99w | how to install chrome? I will try it out. | 22:12 |
| kaerhon | hi again | 22:14 |
| AppAraat | xubuntu99w: chrome does not have builtin VPN, but you could use NetworkManager (the thing that you also use to connect to your wifi networks etc.) to set up a VPN pretty easily. | 22:14 |
| AppAraat | you can download it here: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/ | 22:15 |
| kaerhon | pmjdebruijn i just ran the error checker by booting on the live usb drive to look for what files were affected by the 2 errors | 22:15 |
| kaerhon | and it doesn't say what files are affected | 22:15 |
| kaerhon | just that there are 2 errors | 22:15 |
| krytarik | xubuntu99w: Sorry about that - try "adobe-flashplugin" instead then: http://askubuntu.com/questions/836261/pepperflashplugin-nonfree-package-installation-fails-since-chrome-54-is-out-oct | 22:19 |
| xubuntu99w | Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate ... | 22:20 |
| xubuntu99w | this is what happens. | 22:20 |
| krytarik | !partner | 22:20 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 22:20 |
| krytarik | You'll find it in your software sources already though - just disabled by default. | 22:22 |
| xubuntu99w | I have another problem now.The software center shows no applications. | 22:24 |
| krytarik | "sudo apt update", then try again. | 22:25 |
| xubuntu99w | thanks.working now. | 22:28 |
| kaerhon | i'm making a live usb of ubuntu, i had errors when doing it with usb-creator so pmjdebruijn told me to try with dd, providing me the following commandline : dd if=./my.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M ? | 22:30 |
| kaerhon | after trying to understand it with man, which i more or less did, i still don't know what value i should use for bs= | 22:31 |
| AppAraat | kaerhon: bs is optional and it can also be written like "if=my.iso" (if you're in the right dir) | 22:31 |
| kaerhon | hmm i see | 22:32 |
| kaerhon | so i can totally skip the bs part and use a simpler command by cd-ing at the right place | 22:32 |
| kaerhon | thanks! i'll try that right now | 22:33 |
| AppAraat | yeah so that would in total become "dd if=my.iso of=/dev/sdX" | 22:34 |
| kaerhon | thanks! :D | 22:34 |
| AppAraat | but triple check you're using the right output file | 22:34 |
| AppAraat | because otherwise it can get pretty nasty | 22:34 |
| kaerhon | yeah, i searched for it, and wrote it on paper | 22:34 |
| kaerhon | pmjdebruijn warned me about it and i freaked out a bit x) | 22:35 |
| kaerhon | (sorry for all the HLs) | 22:35 |
| AppAraat | yeah, so depending on when and how it's mounted it could have changed, so check again. A handy command to use for this is "lsblk" | 22:35 |
| kaerhon | thanks :) | 22:37 |
| kaerhon | yeah i wroted down the good one | 22:37 |
| kaerhon | wrote* | 22:37 |
| kaerhon | i have no permissions on the usb drive D: | 22:39 |
| AppAraat | use sudo | 22:39 |
| kaerhon | oh | 22:39 |
| kaerhon | simple as that | 22:39 |
| kaerhon | thanks again | 22:39 |
| AppAraat | otherwise random users would be able to obliterate your data :) | 22:39 |
| kaerhon | which i'd love to avoid | 22:40 |
| AppAraat | I wholeheartedly agree | 22:40 |
| kaerhon | i... think it's copying the file | 22:46 |
| kaerhon | nothing appears in the terminal | 22:46 |
| AppAraat | wait until you see the command prompt again and then issue the command "sync" | 22:46 |
| kaerhon | what does "sunc" do? | 22:47 |
| kaerhon | sync | 22:47 |
| AppAraat | that synchronizes all buffers that haven't been written yet | 22:47 |
| AppAraat | (similar to one of the things that Windows' "Remove Hardware Safely" does) | 22:47 |
| kaerhon | x) | 22:48 |
| kaerhon | ok it's done copying | 22:48 |
| kaerhon | i just sync? not dd sync? | 22:49 |
| AppAraat | just sync | 22:49 |
| AppAraat | if you want to see more info, then you can use one of these methods: http://askubuntu.com/questions/215505/how-do-you-monitor-the-progress-of-dd | 22:49 |
| AppAraat | I personally use dcfldd (also mentioned there) | 22:50 |
| kaerhon | oh yeah that seems very handy | 22:51 |
| kaerhon | thanks | 22:51 |
| kaerhon | oooookay now i'll reboot and check for errors | 22:52 |
| kaerhon | brb | 22:52 |
| kaerhoff | no error found \o/ | 22:58 |
| kaerhoff | yeeeeee | 22:58 |
| AppAraat | kaerhoff: congrats :) | 23:17 |
| kaerhoff | thanks! | 23:20 |
| kaerhoff | i now have a clean fresh system | 23:21 |
| kaerhoff | so thank you AppAraat and pmjdebruijn and krytarik for the help! <3 | 23:22 |
| krytarik | !yay | 23:22 |
| ubottu | Glad you made it! :-) | 23:22 |

| krytarik | \o/ | 23:38 |
| kaerhon | i was wondering, we are cetting close to the alphabet's end, what will happen next with releases'names? | 23:39 |
| bazhang | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames kaerhon | 23:40 |
| kaerhon | getting close* (i'm not paying enough attention) | 23:40 |
| kaerhon | ooooh thanks | 23:40 |
| Unit193 | bazhang: Yeah but everyone ignores that. | 23:40 |
| Unit193 | bazhang: They switch to AAA! :P | 23:40 |
| bazhang | next release is april this year | 23:40 |
| kaerhon | oh it goes back to the alphabet's beginning | 23:43 |
| kaerhon | one less thing to worry about | 23:43 |
