[12:56] <woz183> using lubuntu 17.04 but dont know how to install amd drivers
[12:57] <woz183> does 17.04 only use open source drivers ?
[15:34] <neoyork> i just installed lubuntu and cannot log to the net
[15:40] <neoyork> any suggetions
[15:43] <neoyork> when i ping yahoo it says service not known
[16:10] <neoyork> :-(
[16:10] <neoyork> hhheeeeeeeelpp
[16:11] <brianeo> where can i find recommended lubuntu installation overview
[16:13] <lynorian> neoyork, are you trying to connect over ethernet or wirelessly?
[16:13] <neoyork> ethernet
[16:13] <brianeo> this chat ethernet
[16:15] <neoyork> compaq presario old
[16:15] <brianeo> dell 380 last boot 2006
[16:16] <brianeo> the box i am writing this on is apple
[16:17] <neoyork> lynorian any ideas
[16:18] <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.
[16:19] <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;
[16:20] <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?
[16:21] <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
[16:22] <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
[16:24] <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
[16:25] <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!
[16:26] <wxl> that also has route which could be essential to connecting anywhere on the internet, regardless of whether or not you have an ipaddress
[16:27] <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
[16:28] <wxl> using this information:
[16:28] <wxl> !hashes
[16:28] <neoyork> this computer only has 1 gig of ram
[16:28] <neoyork> which is why i choose lubuntu
[16:29] <neoyork> ubuntu needs 2gigs
[16:29] <wxl> yes, that's irrelevant
[16:29] <neoyork> the links that ubottu suggested was for ubuntu
[16:30] <wxl> lubuntu uses ubuntu's infrastructure
[16:30] <wxl> the core of lubuntu is ubuntu
[16:30] <wxl> like i said, it's irrelevant
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <wxl> looks good to me
[16:41] <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"
[16:42] <neoyork> stand by
[16:48] <neoyork> is it check disc for defects
[16:48] <wxl> that one
[16:50] <neoyork> check finished: errors found in 1 file
[16:51] <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 :/
[16:52] <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
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <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
[16:56]  * 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] <wxl> do you know of instructions on the wiki, lynorian ?
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <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
[17:01] <lynorian> neoyork then yes it will alsmost surely be sdb
[17:11] <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?
[17:14] <neoyork> sorry i loged out
[17:14] <neoyork> great now all the history is blanked
[17:14] <neoyork> u guys still there
[17:15] <neoyork> X-0 come back
[17:18] <wxl> neoyork: most likely the iso is in ~/Downloads, no?
[17:20] <neoyork> no its on /home/donqabron/Documents
[17:21] <wxl> ok and which device file represents your usb?
[17:21] <neoyork> this /media/donqabron/UUI
[17:24] <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
[17:29] <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
[17:32] <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
[17:33] <wxl> you ran out of space?
[17:33] <wxl> are you sure the drive is big enough?
[17:35] <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
[17:36] <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
[17:37] <wxl> if it succeeds, you'll get the records in/records out message when done, but not the 'no space left on device' message
[17:38] <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
[17:39] <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
[17:40] <neoyork> cause i clear those files but they return when i run your command
[17:40] <wxl> get rid of any extra partitions, too
[17:50] <neoyork> is there a command that can format this usb
[17:50] <neoyork> sudo su fdisk -1 fdisk /dev/sdd
[17:51] <genii> no su, just sudo
[17:52] <neoyork> invalid option 1
[17:52] <genii> lowercase L
[17:52]  * genii wanders back to work
[17:55] <neoyork> it says it formated but property says 2.1 gis is being used
[17:56] <neoyork> it may have a partition in there
[18:15] <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
[18:56] <neoyork> i installed lubuntu with no errors yet i stll can not connect the internet
[18:58] <neoyork> server not found
[18:59] <neoyork> what aM I MISSING
[23:00] <neoyork> can someone help me connect 2 d internet
