| Ruber | Hello guys | 19:35 |
| Ruber | I am in real help to get lubuntu to work on my computer | 19:35 |
| wxl | what's up @Ruber ? | 19:36 |
| Ruber | i have installed both 16.04.2 and 16.10 on my usb stick with rufus | 19:36 |
| Ruber | and when i try to start it on my computer it will get stuck at blinking cursor | 19:36 |
| Ruber | cant do anything | 19:37 |
| wxl | i can't really vouch for rufus | 19:37 |
| Ruber | i have right now on the computer dual boot with windows 8.1 and linux mint but i want to format it totaly and get lubuntu for a clean install | 19:37 |
| wxl | i'd just use dd | 19:37 |
| Ruber | what is dd? | 19:37 |
| * wxl wonders | 19:38 | |
| wxl | !dd | 19:38 |
| wxl | nope | 19:38 |
| wxl | it's a linux utility | 19:38 |
| Ruber | you mean i should do it from linux mint to the usb? | 19:39 |
| genii | Yes | 19:39 |
| wxl | i'd trust that a lot more | 19:39 |
| wxl | dd is a bit by bit copy | 19:39 |
| Ruber | okay | 19:39 |
| Ruber | because when i tried now on my other computer the rufus 16.04 | 19:40 |
| genii | The ISO files are hybrid images. This means you can use dd to just copy it bit-by-bit to a USB stick and it will work | 19:40 |
| wxl | like i said, i can't vouch for rufus | 19:40 |
| wxl | it's unclear if rufus does any checking of the installation media | 19:40 |
| wxl | plus, you also have to make sure you check the hashes of the download iso | 19:40 |
| Ruber | i got to the start screen where i can click start without install and then i just got black screen | 19:40 |
| Ruber | okay | 19:41 |
| genii | !nomodeset | 19:41 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 19:41 |
| wxl | one bit of difference can lead to strange problems | 19:41 |
| wxl | ^^ it could also be that | 19:41 |
| wxl | you could also try mkusb | 19:41 |
| wxl | it uses dd | 19:41 |
| wxl | !mkusb | 19:41 |
| wxl | darnit ubottu you're no fun | 19:41 |
| Ruber | haha | 19:43 |
| wxl | !mkusb is <reply> mkusb is a front end to dd, the bit by bit command line utility. It is arguably the safest and most reliable solution to preparing a USB as installation media. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb for more information. | 19:44 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that, wxl | 19:44 |
| Ruber | okey thanks | 19:46 |
| genii | wxl: Hm. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=mkusb&mode=exactfilename&suite=yakkety&arch=any | 19:47 |
| wxl | @genii: yeah, community supported thing. | 19:48 |
| wxl | @genii: we seem to have no instructions on dd from what i can find | 19:48 |
| Ruber | this is not easy | 19:50 |
| Ruber | but how do i get nomodeset | 19:50 |
| Ruber | where do i put it in | 19:50 |
| musician_pro | firefox is telling me that I've not installed PulseAudio | 22:58 |
| musician_pro | I don't know why I have not this problem since 2 week | 22:58 |
| musician_pro | https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Download I went here but I don't understand how I can install it | 22:59 |
| lyn||ian | musician_pro, try installing from the repos with your paackage manager of choice | 23:00 |
| lyn||ian | if something on your firefox needs pulseaudio | 23:01 |
| musician_pro | ok | 23:01 |
| musician_pro | I try thx | 23:01 |
| musician_pro | I try | 23:05 |
| musician_pro | sudo apt-get purge firefox | 23:05 |
| musician_pro | and after | 23:05 |
| musician_pro | sudo apt-get install firefox | 23:05 |
| musician_pro | but nothing :( | 23:05 |
| wxl | @musician_pro: he means install pulseaudio | 23:05 |
| musician_pro | :\ ok sorry | 23:07 |
| musician_pro | did it <3 really thanks lyn||ian and wxl ! | 23:09 |
| musician_pro | I'm producer and composer if you need some sounds for sound design, software or OS you are welcome. | 23:09 |
| musician_pro | (I really love Lubuntu) | 23:10 |
| wxl | @musician_pro: personally i'd suggest using jack | 23:13 |
| musician_pro | wxl, what do you mean for "jack"? | 23:14 |
| wxl | @musician_pro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/What%20is%20JACK | 23:20 |
| wxl | !jack is <reply> The JACK Audio Connection Kit is a sound server meant for professional applications, allowing different audio protocols and applications to interconnect in nearly unlimited ways. This is the core of Ubuntu Studio's audio workflow. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/What%20is%20JACK for more information on JACK in general. | 23:23 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that, wxl | 23:23 |
