[12:55] help [12:56] using lubuntu 17.04 but dont know how to install amd drivers [12:57] does 17.04 only use open source drivers ? [15:34] i just installed lubuntu and cannot log to the net [15:40] any suggetions [15:43] when i ping yahoo it says service not known [16:10] :-( [16:10] hhheeeeeeeelpp [16:11] where can i find recommended lubuntu installation overview [16:13] neoyork, are you trying to connect over ethernet or wirelessly? [16:13] ethernet [16:13] this chat ethernet [16:15] compaq presario old [16:15] dell 380 last boot 2006 [16:16] the box i am writing this on is apple [16:17] lynorian any ideas [16:18] brianeo: what specific answers are you looking for? [16:18] neoyork: can you pastebin up `ifconfig`? [16:18] how to connect to the internet [16:18] well he has no network probably at all [16:18] i am looking at a snapshot of the setup os screen [16:18] brianeo: i don't think we have a walk through, but ubuntu does. same installer, unless you're using alternate. [16:19] its not instaqlled ifconfig [16:19] neoyork: well do you have an ip address? [16:19] reformatting a desktop hard drive is a first, here; [16:20] neoyork: if you don't have ifconfig, you probably have a bad install. [16:20] i do have ip adress [16:20] don't confuse it with ipconfig (the windows equivalent) [16:20] how can i properly install [16:20] hey, i took the day off to go to work, behind a firewall, here [16:20] how do you know you have an ip address? [16:21] you properly install by first making sure you have the valid installation media [16:21] there are two steps: [16:21] 1. check the hashes of the downloaded iso [16:21] looking at connection information window [16:21] 2. check the media at the grub boot menu [16:22] i would start with that [16:22] i can't imagine why you would have ipconfig [16:22] if you have a bad install all sorts of probelms could be present [16:24] you should have the klibc-utils package [16:24] that's where ifconfig is included in [16:24] along with all sorts of important stuff, like chroot, dd, kill, ls, etc [16:25] oops [16:25] hahahah that's with ipconfig hold on [16:25] sorry it's in net-tools [16:25] i knew that sounded weird! [16:26] 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] how would i know i downloaded lubuntu and used an iso [16:27] usually your file manager will tell you [16:27] i assume that what you mean is "how do i know i downloaded the correct file?" [16:27] yes [16:27] you would follow these instructions: [16:27] !md5 [16:27] 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 [16:28] using this information: [16:28] !hashes [16:28] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of all downloadable Ubuntu releases [16:28] this computer only has 1 gig of ram [16:28] which is why i choose lubuntu [16:29] ubuntu needs 2gigs [16:29] yes, that's irrelevant [16:29] the links that ubottu suggested was for ubuntu [16:30] lubuntu uses ubuntu's infrastructure [16:30] the core of lubuntu is ubuntu [16:30] like i said, it's irrelevant [16:39] 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] looks good to me [16:41] now you have to boot the install media and at the initial screen do the media check [16:41] it might still be called "check cd for errors" [16:42] stand by [16:48] is it check disc for defects [16:48] that one [16:50] check finished: errors found in 1 file [16:51] so that means it didn't copy right [16:51] so copy the iso to the media again [16:51] might be bad media too :/ [16:52] i am clearing the usb drive and redownload everything again [16:52] no need to redownload [16:52] you checked the hashes so you know the iso is good [16:52] so either the copy didn't copy correctly [16:52] or the usb drive is bad [16:54] i may have fucked up cause i downloaded it directly to the drive from the internet [16:54] language, dear [16:54] the 1st time around, rather than to the download file in the pc and then to the usb drive [16:54] yeah you should definiately do that [16:54] so sorry [16:55] and you should use something like dd to od a bit by bit copy [16:55] or you can use unetbootin or whatever [16:55] there are a ton of choices [16:55] i prefer dd personally [16:55] just recomend one [16:55] 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] yeah good idea [16:56] ubottu doesn't know anything about dd :O [16:56] wxl: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:56] do you know of instructions on the wiki, lynorian ? [16:57] no [16:57] oh well [16:57] it's basically: [16:57] sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/path/to/dev/file [16:57] wxl not on the wiki really [16:58] you can get the device file from lsblk as lynorian suggested [16:58] use the whole drive (e.g. /dev/sdb) not the partition (e.g. /dev/sdb1) [16:58] welll it could be different if you have more disks on your machine [16:59] I have a solid state drive and a spinning hard disk in this desktop [16:59] this device only has a cd and harddrive [17:01] neoyork then yes it will alsmost surely be sdb [17:11] i don [17:11] i don [17:11] don't you [17:11] i dont know what i am doing [17:11] forget about me [17:11] did you download the iso? [17:11] yes [17:11] what's the full path to that iso? [17:14] sorry i loged out [17:14] great now all the history is blanked [17:14] u guys still there [17:15] X-0 come back [17:18] neoyork: most likely the iso is in ~/Downloads, no? [17:20] no its on /home/donqabron/Documents [17:21] ok and which device file represents your usb? [17:21] this /media/donqabron/UUI [17:24] that's the mounted name [17:24] you need to unmount it [17:24] so then run lsblk and figure out which one it is [17:29] sdd1 [17:29] that's the partition, you need the whole drive, which is sdd [17:29] so you would do this: [17:29] sudo dd if=/home/donqabron/Documents/lubuntu-17.04-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdd [17:32] 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.

[17:33] are you sure the drive is big enough? [17:35] i remember doing these steps for a beaglebone black. it put two files one with the beagle bone and the lubuntu [17:35] you should clear the drive [17:36] done [17:36] then compare the size of the drive with the size of the iso and make sure you have the space [17:36] succeeding there, do the dd step again [17:37] 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] something else must be happening because i have two files after i run that command [17:38] your clearing step must not be working [17:38] one is beaglebone and the other is uui [17:38] huh? [17:38] you mean there's multiple partitions? [17:38] there should only be one [17:39] you might be clearing one partition and not the entire drive [17:39] should i format the usb [17:39] that's what i'd do [17:40] cause i clear those files but they return when i run your command [17:40] get rid of any extra partitions, too [17:50] is there a command that can format this usb [17:50] sudo su fdisk -1 fdisk /dev/sdd [17:51] no su, just sudo [17:52] invalid option 1 [17:52] lowercase L [17:52] * genii wanders back to work [17:55] it says it formated but property says 2.1 gis is being used [17:56] it may have a partition in there [18:15] got it in the usb [18:15] 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] i installed lubuntu with no errors yet i stll can not connect the internet [18:58] server not found [18:59] what aM I MISSING [23:00] can someone help me connect 2 d internet [23:05] connection information says active network connections
