| neoyork | i just installed lubuntu and cannot log to the net | 15:34 |
| neoyork | any suggetions | 15:40 |
| neoyork | when i ping yahoo it says service not known | 15:43 |
| neoyork | :-( | 16:10 |
| neoyork | hhheeeeeeeelpp | 16:10 |
| brianeo | where can i find recommended lubuntu installation overview | 16:11 |
| lynorian | neoyork, are you trying to connect over ethernet or wirelessly? | 16:13 |
| neoyork | ethernet | 16:13 |
| brianeo | this chat ethernet | 16:13 |
| neoyork | compaq presario old | 16:15 |
| brianeo | dell 380 last boot 2006 | 16:15 |
| brianeo | the box i am writing this on is apple | 16:16 |
| neoyork | lynorian any ideas | 16:17 |
| wxl | brianeo: what specific answers are you looking for? | 16:18 |
| wxl | neoyork: can you pastebin up `ifconfig`? | 16:18 |
| neoyork | how to connect to the internet | 16:18 |
| lynorian | well he has no network probably at all | 16:18 |
| brianeo | i am looking at a snapshot of the setup os screen | 16:18 |
| wxl | brianeo: i don't think we have a walk through, but ubuntu does. same installer, unless you're using alternate. | 16:18 |
| neoyork | its not instaqlled ifconfig | 16:19 |
| wxl | neoyork: well do you have an ip address? | 16:19 |
| brianeo | reformatting a desktop hard drive is a first, here; | 16:19 |
| wxl | neoyork: if you don't have ifconfig, you probably have a bad install. | 16:20 |
| neoyork | i do have ip adress | 16:20 |
| wxl | don't confuse it with ipconfig (the windows equivalent) | 16:20 |
| neoyork | how can i properly install | 16:20 |
| brianeo | hey, i took the day off to go to work, behind a firewall, here | 16:20 |
| wxl | how do you know you have an ip address? | 16:20 |
| wxl | you properly install by first making sure you have the valid installation media | 16:21 |
| wxl | there are two steps: | 16:21 |
| wxl | 1. check the hashes of the downloaded iso | 16:21 |
| neoyork | looking at connection information window | 16:21 |
| wxl | 2. check the media at the grub boot menu | 16:21 |
| wxl | i would start with that | 16:22 |
| wxl | i can't imagine why you would have ipconfig | 16:22 |
| wxl | if you have a bad install all sorts of probelms could be present | 16:22 |
| wxl | you should have the klibc-utils package | 16:24 |
| wxl | that's where ifconfig is included in | 16:24 |
| wxl | along with all sorts of important stuff, like chroot, dd, kill, ls, etc | 16:24 |
| wxl | oops | 16:25 |
| wxl | hahahah that's with ipconfig hold on | 16:25 |
| wxl | sorry it's in net-tools | 16:25 |
| wxl | i knew that sounded weird! | 16:25 |
| wxl | that also has route which could be essential to connecting anywhere on the internet, regardless of whether or not you have an ipaddress | 16:26 |
| neoyork | how would i know i downloaded lubuntu and used an iso | 16:27 |
| wxl | usually your file manager will tell you | 16:27 |
| wxl | i assume that what you mean is "how do i know i downloaded the correct file?" | 16:27 |
| neoyork | yes | 16:27 |
| wxl | you would follow these instructions: | 16:27 |
| wxl | !md5 | 16:27 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 16:27 |
| wxl | using this information: | 16:28 |
| wxl | !hashes | 16:28 |
| ubottu | See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of all downloadable Ubuntu releases | 16:28 |
| neoyork | this computer only has 1 gig of ram | 16:28 |
| neoyork | which is why i choose lubuntu | 16:28 |
| neoyork | ubuntu needs 2gigs | 16:29 |
| wxl | yes, that's irrelevant | 16:29 |
| neoyork | the links that ubottu suggested was for ubuntu | 16:29 |
| wxl | lubuntu uses ubuntu's infrastructure | 16:30 |
| wxl | the core of lubuntu is ubuntu | 16:30 |
| wxl | like i said, it's irrelevant | 16:30 |
| neoyork | donqabron@donqabron-laptop:/media/donqabron/UUI$ md5sum lubuntu-17.04-desktop-i386.iso e98bd5f4b750888bcc77f16df79bc775 lubuntu-17.04-desktop-i386.isodonqabron@donqabron-laptop:/media/donqabron/UUI$ md5sum lubuntu-17.04-desktop-i386.iso e98bd5f4b750888bcc77f16df79bc775 lubuntu-17.04-desktop-i386.iso | 16:39 |
| wxl | looks good to me | 16:40 |
| wxl | now you have to boot the install media and at the initial screen do the media check | 16:41 |
| wxl | it might still be called "check cd for errors" | 16:41 |
| neoyork | stand by | 16:42 |
| neoyork | is it check disc for defects | 16:48 |
| wxl | that one | 16:48 |
| neoyork | check finished: errors found in 1 file | 16:50 |
| wxl | so that means it didn't copy right | 16:51 |
| wxl | so copy the iso to the media again | 16:51 |
| wxl | might be bad media too :/ | 16:51 |
| neoyork | i am clearing the usb drive and redownload everything again | 16:52 |
| wxl | no need to redownload | 16:52 |
| wxl | you checked the hashes so you know the iso is good | 16:52 |
| wxl | so either the copy didn't copy correctly | 16:52 |
| wxl | or the usb drive is bad | 16:52 |
| neoyork | i may have fucked up cause i downloaded it directly to the drive from the internet | 16:54 |
| wxl | language, dear | 16:54 |
| neoyork | the 1st time around, rather than to the download file in the pc and then to the usb drive | 16:54 |
| wxl | yeah you should definiately do that | 16:54 |
| neoyork | so sorry | 16:54 |
| wxl | and you should use something like dd to od a bit by bit copy | 16:55 |
| wxl | or you can use unetbootin or whatever | 16:55 |
| wxl | there are a ton of choices | 16:55 |
| wxl | i prefer dd personally | 16:55 |
| neoyork | just recomend one | 16:55 |
| wxl | let me dig up some instructions | 16:55 |
| * lynorian uses lsblk before dding to make sure you put it on the right drive | 16:56 | |
| wxl | yeah good idea | 16:56 |
| wxl | ubottu doesn't know anything about dd :O | 16:56 |
| ubottu | wxl: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:56 |
| wxl | do you know of instructions on the wiki, lynorian ? | 16:56 |
| neoyork | no | 16:57 |
| wxl | oh well | 16:57 |
| wxl | it's basically: | 16:57 |
| wxl | sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/path/to/dev/file | 16:57 |
| lynorian | wxl not on the wiki really | 16:57 |
| wxl | you can get the device file from lsblk as lynorian suggested | 16:58 |
| wxl | use the whole drive (e.g. /dev/sdb) not the partition (e.g. /dev/sdb1) | 16:58 |
| lynorian | welll it could be different if you have more disks on your machine | 16:58 |
| lynorian | I have a solid state drive and a spinning hard disk in this desktop | 16:59 |
| neoyork | this device only has a cd and harddrive | 16:59 |
| lynorian | neoyork then yes it will alsmost surely be sdb | 17:01 |
| neoyork | i don | 17:11 |
| neoyork | i don | 17:11 |
| wxl | don't you | 17:11 |
| neoyork | i dont know what i am doing | 17:11 |
| wxl | forget about me | 17:11 |
| wxl | did you download the iso? | 17:11 |
| neoyork | yes | 17:11 |
| wxl | what's the full path to that iso? | 17:11 |
| neoyork | sorry i loged out | 17:14 |
| neoyork | great now all the history is blanked | 17:14 |
| neoyork | u guys still there | 17:14 |
| neoyork | X-0 come back | 17:15 |
| wxl | neoyork: most likely the iso is in ~/Downloads, no? | 17:18 |
| neoyork | no its on /home/donqabron/Documents | 17:20 |
| wxl | ok and which device file represents your usb? | 17:21 |
| neoyork | this /media/donqabron/UUI | 17:21 |
| wxl | that's the mounted name | 17:24 |
| wxl | you need to unmount it | 17:24 |
| wxl | so then run lsblk and figure out which one it is | 17:24 |
| neoyork | sdd1 | 17:29 |
| wxl | that's the partition, you need the whole drive, which is sdd | 17:29 |
| wxl | so you would do this: | 17:29 |
| wxl | sudo dd if=/home/donqabron/Documents/lubuntu-17.04-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdd | 17:29 |
| neoyork | donqabron@donqabron-laptop:~/Documents$ sudo dd if=/home/donqabron/Documents/lubuntu-17.04-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdd [sudo] password for donqabron: Sorry, try again. [sudo] password for donqabron: dd: writing to ‘/dev/sdd’: No space left on device 987609+0 records in 987608+0 records out 505655296 bytes (506 MB) copied, 61.2135 s, 8.3 MB/s | 17:32 |
| wxl | you ran out of space? | 17:33 |
| wxl | are you sure the drive is big enough? | 17:33 |
| neoyork | i remember doing these steps for a beaglebone black. it put two files one with the beagle bone and the lubuntu | 17:35 |
| wxl | you should clear the drive | 17:35 |
| neoyork | done | 17:36 |
| wxl | then compare the size of the drive with the size of the iso and make sure you have the space | 17:36 |
| wxl | succeeding there, do the dd step again | 17:36 |
| wxl | if it succeeds, you'll get the records in/records out message when done, but not the 'no space left on device' message | 17:37 |
| neoyork | something else must be happening because i have two files after i run that command | 17:38 |
| wxl | your clearing step must not be working | 17:38 |
| neoyork | one is beaglebone and the other is uui | 17:38 |
| wxl | huh? | 17:38 |
| wxl | you mean there's multiple partitions? | 17:38 |
| wxl | there should only be one | 17:38 |
| wxl | you might be clearing one partition and not the entire drive | 17:39 |
| neoyork | should i format the usb | 17:39 |
| wxl | that's what i'd do | 17:39 |
| neoyork | cause i clear those files but they return when i run your command | 17:40 |
| wxl | get rid of any extra partitions, too | 17:40 |
| neoyork | is there a command that can format this usb | 17:50 |
| neoyork | sudo su fdisk -1 fdisk /dev/sdd | 17:50 |
| genii | no su, just sudo | 17:51 |
| neoyork | invalid option 1 | 17:52 |
| genii | lowercase L | 17:52 |
| * genii wanders back to work | 17:52 | |
| neoyork | it says it formated but property says 2.1 gis is being used | 17:55 |
| neoyork | it may have a partition in there | 17:56 |
| neoyork | got it in the usb | 18:15 |
| neoyork | donqabron@donqabron-laptop:~/Documents$ sudo dd if=/home/donqabron/Documents/lubuntu-17.04-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdc 1875968+0 records in 1875968+0 records out 960495616 bytes (960 MB) copied, 444.806 s, 2.2 MB/s | 18:15 |
| neoyork | i installed lubuntu with no errors yet i stll can not connect the internet | 18:56 |
| neoyork | server not found | 18:58 |
| neoyork | what aM I MISSING | 18:59 |
| neoyork | can someone help me connect 2 d internet | 23:00 |
| neoyork | connection information says active network connections | 23:05 |
