[03:01] hi #xubuntu [03:02] 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? [03:04] kaerhon: Sure. [03:04] !usb [03:04] 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] omg it has its own command [03:04] thanks krytarik [03:11] just a question about startup disk creator, what is the package name? [03:12] !info usb-creator-gtk [03:12] 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] haha thanks [03:12] thank you :x [03:13] Sure. [04:27] hi, can anyone confirm whether this tmux config works for you or not? https://bpaste.net/show/5dd13544b30a [04:27] I see errors on 2.1 [08:08] good morning, can someone tell me how i can increase the overall fontsize in Xubuntu? [08:11] nevermind already found it sorry ! === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang === dreamon__ is now known as dreamon === AaronRaimist[m] is now known as aaronraimist [15:33] hiiii [15:33] i have more questions about installing xubuntu [15:34] ok, shoot [15:34] i made a live usb, booted on it, and ran the disk check thing [15:34] and it found errors in 2 files [15:34] (that on 2 usb sticks) [15:35] you ran the utility looking at the live CD integrity? [15:35] yes [15:35] ok...possible you have a bad image (i.e. it could have been corrupted during download) [15:35] Is there any way you can download a new one and try it? [15:35] yeah i'm doing it right now :) [15:35] ok [15:35] ok that was my question [15:36] kaerhon: did you check the sha256sum of the downloaded iso? [15:36] if that checks out, redownloading likely won't help [15:36] no, i'll do that === MrOpenSource_ is now known as MrOpenSource [15:43] haha yeah that's not the same thing [15:43] i'll download it again [15:45] wait i'm stupid [15:47] no yeah it passed [15:48] so, new question : what should i do? [15:49] how did you make the live usb? [15:50] dd if=./my.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M ? [15:50] using that method https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#gparted [15:51] with usb-creator [15:52] using usb-creator on an old distro to create a live usb for a newer one, has not always worked as well [15:52] I would use dd [15:52] do be very very careful to get the device file right [15:52] otherwise you might end up wiping your harddisk [15:52] ._. [15:53] i'm not doing that. [15:53] not good enough at the command-line game [15:53] cat /proc/partitions will tell you which is the right one [15:54] 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] which files are listed as being wrong btw> [15:54] i didn't see [15:54] hm [15:54] it's quite relevant [15:55] yeah, i didn't see listed files [15:55] if it's a difference in the sys/isolinux that would be expected [15:55] kaerhon: run it again and see [15:55] ok [15:55] i'll do that when i come back home [15:55] thanks for the help! [15:55] see you later [17:54] what is currently the best way to update grub options to not to display splash for example? [17:54] In the /etc/default/grub [17:55] cool, thanks. [18:48] is there a way to fix sceen tearing? [19:23] Hi [19:24] I am trying to remaster xubuntu with uck what should I have to know most...... [19:40] Hi! I have a question about removing old kernel packages that dpkg can't see. Is there anyone who can help? [19:43] Randy_: what's the issue here - not seen by dpkg but exist in /boot and when you boot? [19:43] Correct [19:44] And headers in /usr/src [19:44] I tried removing them with dpkg --purge but it says they don't exist [19:44] dpkg doesn't list them either [19:45] I assume left overs from a version upgrade eg 14.04 to 16.04 or something? [19:46] I think it was 12.04 to 14.04, but yes, I assumed the same thing [19:46] It's not a huge deal, but they appear to be using up 25% of my inodes [19:46] So I'd like to clean house [19:48] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2252894&p=13168979&viewfull=1#post13168979 [19:48] j [19:49] seems just double check - measure twice, cut once - and manually remove them - sudo update-grub should then clean that up iirc [19:51] be careful about that - don't delete the wrong kernel(s) [19:51] 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 [19:53] Thanks flocculant! I appreciate your input! Makes me feel better about the possibility of ripping these files out manually. [19:56] I've manually binned them in the past - I think after a version upgrade [20:39] whats about suse destibution as alternate solution for xubuntu? [20:42] okay, cummunity seems to be boring for xubuntu. [20:42] that is someting I found out for tonight [20:43] enjoy the ESC and sleep well === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [21:55] Hello [21:55] Is anybody here? [21:57] xubuntu00d: Yes. Hello. [21:58] I'm looking for help with xubuntu.Am I in the right place? [21:58] Totally. [21:59] I would like to install the flash plugin for Opera web browser [21:59] but I don't have idea how. [22:00] I'm using xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS [22:00] Could you help me,please? [22:01] Opera, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. [22:02] xubuntu00d: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser explains it. [22:02] btw, if you just want to watch Youtube videos it is possible even without Flash. [22:04] YouTube works fine because it uses HTML5 but some movies sites still require flash to be installed. [22:04] Let me check the link [22:07] hi, #xubuntu [22:08] oh [22:09] mv: cannot evaluate 'unpackchrome/opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so': No file or folder of this type [22:09] This error shows up after typing the command to install flash [22:09] sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install [22:10] 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] Does chrome has a built in VPN like opera does? [22:10] have* [22:12] how to install chrome? I will try it out. [22:14] hi again [22:14] 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. [22:15] you can download it here: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/ [22:15] 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] and it doesn't say what files are affected [22:15] just that there are 2 errors [22:19] 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 [22:20] Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate ... [22:20] this is what happens. [22:20] !partner [22:20] 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" » [22:22] You'll find it in your software sources already though - just disabled by default. [22:24] I have another problem now.The software center shows no applications. [22:25] "sudo apt update", then try again. [22:28] thanks.working now. [22:30] 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 ? [22:31] 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] kaerhon: bs is optional and it can also be written like "if=my.iso" (if you're in the right dir) [22:32] hmm i see [22:32] so i can totally skip the bs part and use a simpler command by cd-ing at the right place [22:33] thanks! i'll try that right now [22:34] yeah so that would in total become "dd if=my.iso of=/dev/sdX" [22:34] thanks! :D [22:34] but triple check you're using the right output file [22:34] because otherwise it can get pretty nasty [22:34] yeah, i searched for it, and wrote it on paper [22:35] pmjdebruijn warned me about it and i freaked out a bit x) [22:35] (sorry for all the HLs) [22:35] 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" [22:37] thanks :) [22:37] yeah i wroted down the good one [22:37] wrote* [22:39] i have no permissions on the usb drive D: [22:39] use sudo [22:39] oh [22:39] simple as that [22:39] thanks again [22:39] otherwise random users would be able to obliterate your data :) [22:40] which i'd love to avoid [22:40] I wholeheartedly agree [22:46] i... think it's copying the file [22:46] nothing appears in the terminal [22:46] wait until you see the command prompt again and then issue the command "sync" [22:47] what does "sunc" do? [22:47] sync [22:47] that synchronizes all buffers that haven't been written yet [22:47] (similar to one of the things that Windows' "Remove Hardware Safely" does) [22:48] x) [22:48] ok it's done copying [22:49] i just sync? not dd sync? [22:49] just sync [22:49] 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 [22:50] I personally use dcfldd (also mentioned there) [22:51] oh yeah that seems very handy [22:51] thanks [22:52] oooookay now i'll reboot and check for errors [22:52] brb [22:58] no error found \o/ [22:58] yeeeeee [23:17] kaerhoff: congrats :) [23:20] thanks! [23:21] i now have a clean fresh system [23:22] so thank you AppAraat and pmjdebruijn and krytarik for the help! <3 [23:22] !yay [23:22] Glad you made it! :-) [23:23] \o/ [23:24] :) [23:37] the last xubuntu is so pretty *_* [23:38] Latest! :P [23:38] oups [23:38] sorry [23:38] the latest xubuntu is so pretty *_* [23:38] \o/ [23:39] i was wondering, we are cetting close to the alphabet's end, what will happen next with releases'names? [23:40] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames kaerhon [23:40] getting close* (i'm not paying enough attention) [23:40] ooooh thanks [23:40] bazhang: Yeah but everyone ignores that. [23:40] bazhang: They switch to AAA! :P [23:40] next release is april this year [23:43] oh it goes back to the alphabet's beginning [23:43] one less thing to worry about
