[00:32] <jimbo_> Hello
[00:32] <jimbo_> Anyone on here?
[16:51] <lopta> Perhaps I shouldn't have tried to fetch Lubuntu via bittorrent
[16:51] <lopta> I got the first 200M and then... nothing.
[19:19] <chaotix> Hi, i need a little bit of help.  I have a 2004 Compaq Presario computer that my boss has asked me to resurrect, which runs windows xp.  my plan is to put lubuntu on it, however i booted the usb, and selected english, then try first without installing.  the plymouth boot screen that says "lubuntu" loaded, and then nothing, black screen, and the computer is still on with nothing
[19:19] <chaotix> i have tried this a few times now
[19:20] <wxl> which version? and have you checked the hashes?
[19:20] <chaotix> 16.04
[19:20] <chaotix> no i havent checked the hashes
[19:20] <chaotix> i will google whatthat is now
[19:20] <wxl> !md5
[19:21] <chaotix> okay
[19:23] <chaotix> i am about to try this now.  thanks
[19:24] <chaotix> when i press F1 on the plymouth flash screen in order to see yheoutput of what it is doing, everything seems fine and works up untill the lightdm step
[19:25] <chaotix> when i press F1 on the plymouth flash screen in order to see yheoutput of what it is doing, everything seems fine and works up untill the lightdm stepso it seems like its graphical, right?  could it still be the hash?
[19:27] <wxl> yes
[19:37] <lyn||ian> yes having the wrong hash will make it seem like everyone is pulling their hair out trying to fix the problem and not know what it is
[19:40] <fish__> is there a way to check if hardware accel is enabled? Hate the choppy vids from xfinity :/
[19:40] <lyn||ian> fish__, in a webbrowser?
[19:40] <fish__> using playonlinux :/
[19:40] <fish__> ya firefox
[19:41] <lyn||ian> fish__ wait why are you using windows version of firefox on lubuntu?
[19:41] <fish__> xfinity told me my ff wasnt supported and google told me to use playonlinux
[19:42] <fish__> better alternative?
[19:44]  * lyn||ian does not know much about xfinity
[19:45] <fish__> other vids play on the native ff that came with 16.04 but xfinity told me its not supported so I chose to try the play on linux ff port and it works but its terrible
[19:45] <lyn||ian> fish__, not supported does not mean doesn't work
[19:46] <fish__> as in wont play, tells me to use chrome or ff or safari
[19:50] <fish__> What I get on my system FF is this; Your system isn't compatible with XFINITY Stream For optimal performance, the following is required: Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7+, Mac OS X 10.7+ Supported Browsers: Internet Explorer 11+, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari 8+
[19:56] <fish__> Also I dont have network or lag issues, Im on a fiber connection :) so the lag/choppy I get isnt latency related
[19:57] <lyn||ian> fish__, are other streaming videos working well
[19:58] <wxl> xfinity of course doesn't support linux so
[19:58] <fish__> Yes, all others play fine, just xfinity thru playonlinus sux
[19:59] <wxl> i gave up on using it, frankly
[20:02] <fish__> that sux... I really dont want to have a dual boot just to run tv... :( I dont have a cable drop, and all I got is the fiberline... which should be far more than sufficient to stream even 4k but fracking xfinity is a pos imo
[20:03] <wxl> yeah so 5.5 it is
[20:03] <wxl> which ppa should i use?
[20:03] <lyn||ian> wxl wrong window?
[20:04] <lyn||ian> yeah if it was coax I would get a coax splitterand use a set top box
[20:05] <fish__> dont have a tv or a box, or a drop for that matter :/
[20:05] <lyn||ian> hdmi monitor with speakers or an audio output
[20:07] <lyn||ian> I honestly thought of using a computer monitor for that with hdmi but has no speakers ande the headphone jack in the back sounds awful
[20:07] <wxl> yep thx @lyn||ian
[20:08] <fish__> Me? I have a dual monitor ran off dvi and I'd like to use one for tv and the other for computing but on the same system of couse. Audio is spdif or whatever that thing is called
