redblade7hi01:55
redblade7i was here the other day mentioning i was having crashes when attempting to add videos to bombono-dvd under artful01:56
redblade7people here suggested that i use apport01:56
redblade7so i quit all other programs i was running, and re-enacted the crash while apport was collecting data01:56
redblade7i sent in the crash01:56
redblade7but searching on the ubuntu web site doesnt turn up any discussion01:57
redblade7i dont leave apport installed on my machines so i had taken it off since then01:57
redblade7should i wait for something to show up, or sign up for that ubuntu one and file a bug report01:58
redblade7i found some people having the same problem on the arch web site01:58
redblade7i think one suggested to use a 32-bit version of bombono-dvd as a workaround (for the most recent arch)01:59
redblade7is there a way to do that with a 64-bit? i know wine installs i386 packages but not of everything01:59
redblade7it does need to be reported before lts comes out because it works fine on the old lts and shouldnt be in the repository broken on the next02:03
xubuntu59ihi03:56

ivychendxubuntu startup error:saned disabled edit /etc/default/saned07:13
ivychendstuck at console, can't get into gui07:14
dieterdYeah, it was tricky to get bascom-avr running with connection to atmel board.07:35
irgendwer47111hi, I have a problem with GUI. Maybe I misconfigured themes. I have dark gray buttons and cant read the labels. I tried some other themes, but this problem does not change.09:43
irgendwer47111ok got it. some files override the theme...09:52
shimihello10:50
shimiinstalling xubuntu now on my machine10:50
igiturHi. I just did a do-release-upgrade to upgrade from Zesty to Artful. Graphics card is a fairly old Radeon HD4290 (not sure if relevant). After upgrading system is incredibly unresponsive. Not sure where to start looking11:14
igiturSolved: it was the low-latency kernel. Switched to generic and now it's fine.11:51
barteks2xI'm trying to start xubuntu live image from USB (non-uefi system), but it gives me kernel panic when I try. Any idea how can I do it so it works?14:36
barteks2xI don't have a working cd/dvd drive14:36
barteks2xI used dd if=xububtu-image-file of/14:37
barteks2xof=/dev/sdX14:37
barteks2xto put it on the USB drive14:38
barteks2xI will just try again... maybe it's just my bad USB port14:45
geniiAfter the dd operation finishes, use sudo sync before pulling the stick out to make sure all write operations to it are completed14:46
geniiMight also want to see that the checksum for the iso file is good, to make sure the image didn't get sorrupted during download14:48

spookybonesHello there.20:42
redblade7hi20:42
spookybonesSpooky Bones here.20:42
redblade7redblade7 here.20:42
redblade7what's up?20:43
spookybonesI am installing xubuntu on my booklet20:43
redblade7what's a booklet?20:43
spookybonesNokia Booklet 3G20:43
redblade7is that what they call kindles and stuff now?20:43
spookybonesbasically, a netbook20:43
redblade7oh20:43
spookybonesmy installer says: Warning: Source ID 7199 was not found when attempt to remove it20:44
spookybonesand many other messages20:44
spookybonesany idea what does that means? I am not quite the tech savvy20:45
redblade7not familiar with installing xubuntu on 3g devices sorry :(20:47
redblade7stay around in another channel and someone more mobile-literate can help you out later20:47
spookybonesglib.source_remove(self.rows_changed_id)20:48
spookybonesany channel you can recommend me?20:50
knomespookybones, did you check the installation media integrity?20:54
spookybonesthe flash drive or the hdd on the netbook?20:55
redblade7no i meant you would leave your message here, and then go chat in one of the regular channels while waiting for an answer20:57
redblade7since it's kinda specialized20:57
redblade7installing xubuntu on a phone20:57
redblade7or whatever the 3g device is20:57
spookybonesa phone?20:57
redblade7not a phone20:57
spookybonesit is a laptop20:57
spookybonesmini laptop20:57
redblade7really?20:58
spookybonesyes20:58
redblade7i thought 3G meant it was  a phone device20:58
redblade7it's just marketing?20:58
knomespookybones, where you are installing from, so the flash drive20:58
spookybonesit has a 3G SIM slot20:58
spookyboneshence, 3g20:58
spookybonesfrom a flash drive20:58
redblade7hmm interesting20:58
redblade7then you can bypass your isp and just use mobile data, i'd imagine that would be interesting20:59
spookybonesyeah, I could do that20:59
spookybonesit was an experiment nokia did back in the day21:00
spookyboneshaving a netbook using windows 7 with 3G21:00
knomeplease let me remind you both we have #xubuntu-offtopic for offtopic (eg. non-support) discussions21:00
spookybonesis there a xubuntu support channel?21:02
knomeyou have just arrived here.21:02
knomewhich is why i also asked whether you had checked the installation media integrity21:02
spookybonesyes, the flash drive is fine21:02
spookybonesI suspect it is the HDD21:03
knomeflash drive is fine meaning what? the hardware physically? or the ISO that is "burned" on it?21:04
spookybonesit is readable, can store, delete, rewrite, pshycally21:05
spookybonesas well the ISO21:05
spookybonesbut I suspect, the HDD is the one faulty21:05
knomethen i would run some testing on that...21:06
spookybonessometimes the installer finds the hdd, sometimes not21:06
knomeok, sounds like that's it21:06
spookyboneshow I test that?21:06
spookybonestried ubuntu, tried zorin, tried windows installer21:06
spookybonesall did the same behaviour21:06
knomei guess there you go21:07
spookybonesit is hard to find 1.8" hdd21:07
spookybonesI can run live sessions, but it is an sluggish experience21:08
spookybonesI guess there's no way to fix a faulty hdd, right?21:09
knomenot really, no21:10
spookybonesthen, I guess I'll have to acquire a new one, huh21:10
spookybonesare there SSD of 1.8"?21:11
knomei've no idea, but they could definitely fit that size...21:11
spookybonesokay, well thanks for all despite no solution as it is now21:12
spookybonesI'll have to look for a new hdd21:12
knomeor write off the hardware completely as legacy hardware and get a new one21:12
spookyboneswhat do you mean?21:13
spookybonesoh21:13
spookybonesget a new laptop?21:14
knomeyes21:14
spookybonessuggestions?21:14
spookyboneswouldn't cost me more a new laptop than a hdd?21:14
knomenot really - you'll have to figure out what you need21:14
knomeprobably, but you'd get much more out of it than from the old netbook, i'd imagine21:15
spookybones2009 laptop21:15
spookybonesalmost 10 years21:16
knomeindeed21:16
knomeand since it's a netbook, probably not the high-end in performance from 2009 either21:16
knomeso any - even the cheapest ones - will easily be much more powerful than that21:16
spookybonesjust need a word typewriter21:17
knomebut this discussion is more for #xubuntu-offtopic anyway21:17
spookybonesI know.21:17
knomegood ;)21:17
spookybonesa question21:17
spookyboneshow I could be sure there is no other issues with the device?21:17
knomeconsidering you can run the live session, that's a good indicator21:18
knomeif you want, you can run memtest to see if there are any issues (that pop up) with the memory21:18
spookybonesso... so far the hdd could the only trouble I am having?21:18
spookybonescuz if it has other issues, might perhaps opt for a new one21:19
knomeagain, being able to run the live session is a good sign21:19
spookybonessorry, I am not quite tech savvy21:19
knomeno worries21:20
spookyboneswell, thanks for the info21:20
spookybonesI'll have to consider a new device21:20
knomenp, good luck21:20
spookybonessince a 10 year laptop might not meet the 2017 standarts21:21
spookybonesstandard*21:21
spookybonesand since it is a netbook... less power as well21:21
knomewell yes... ultimately, running a 2017 operating system on a 2009 machine isn't going to be blazing fast21:22
spookyboneswas trying to watch a youtube video... not a nice experience21:23
spookybonessounded like 2 videos trying to play at same time21:23
spookyboneswell, gotta go21:23
spookyboneshave a nice day/night21:23
knomeyou too21:24
nooodlesnodeswho here runs a surface pro or acer switch or equvilent21:31
knomei don't, but why not ask the real question you are having and find out of anybody can help?21:32
nooodlesnodesI am reading about different versions of office that works on these laplets (tablet mode) pcs, I am currently using libreoffice but it doesnt not support touch properly, so I ask google if MS office supports scroll in excel and all that then I get into which version of office I should get and I see the is basically 365, office downloaded from the store for mobile and office 2016. I thought I would get 2016 but it seems it21:36
nooodlesnodesis geared towards keyboard and mouse21:36
nooodlesnodesso anyone got both and can tell me how it works?21:36
nooodlesnodesfuck21:37
nooodlesnodessorry wrong channel21:37
knomeyes, please notice this is a family-friendly channel21:37
knomealso, you really don't want to run microsoft office on linux21:38
