[01:55] <redblade7> hi
[01:56] <redblade7> i was here the other day mentioning i was having crashes when attempting to add videos to bombono-dvd under artful
[01:56] <redblade7> people here suggested that i use apport
[01:56] <redblade7> so i quit all other programs i was running, and re-enacted the crash while apport was collecting data
[01:56] <redblade7> i sent in the crash
[01:57] <redblade7> but searching on the ubuntu web site doesnt turn up any discussion
[01:57] <redblade7> i dont leave apport installed on my machines so i had taken it off since then
[01:58] <redblade7> should i wait for something to show up, or sign up for that ubuntu one and file a bug report
[01:58] <redblade7> i found some people having the same problem on the arch web site
[01:59] <redblade7> i think one suggested to use a 32-bit version of bombono-dvd as a workaround (for the most recent arch)
[01:59] <redblade7> is there a way to do that with a 64-bit? i know wine installs i386 packages but not of everything
[02:03] <redblade7> it 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 next
[03:56] <xubuntu59i> hi
[03:56] <Unit193> Hello!
[03:57] <xubuntu59i> How r u?
[03:57] <Unit193> I'm missing a glass of tea.  I need to fix this.
[03:59] <xubuntu59i> Lol
[03:59] <xubuntu59i> What about coffee?
[03:59] <Unit193> Already had that today, was very good.  But it's midnight now.
[07:13] <ivychend> xubuntu startup error:saned disabled edit /etc/default/saned
[07:14] <ivychend> stuck at console, can't get into gui
[07:35] <dieterd> Yeah, it was tricky to get bascom-avr running with connection to atmel board.
[09:43] <irgendwer47111> hi, 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.
[09:52] <irgendwer47111> ok got it. some files override the theme...
[10:50] <shimi> hello
[10:50] <shimi> installing xubuntu now on my machine
[11:14] <igitur> Hi. 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 looking
[11:51] <igitur> Solved: it was the low-latency kernel. Switched to generic and now it's fine.
[14:36] <barteks2x> I'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] <barteks2x> I don't have a working cd/dvd drive
[14:37] <barteks2x> I used dd if=xububtu-image-file of/
[14:37] <barteks2x> of=/dev/sdX
[14:38] <barteks2x> to put it on the USB drive
[14:45] <barteks2x> I will just try again... maybe it's just my bad USB port
[14:46] <genii> After the dd operation finishes, use sudo sync before pulling the stick out to make sure all write operations to it are completed
[14:48] <genii> Might also want to see that the checksum for the iso file is good, to make sure the image didn't get sorrupted during download
[20:42] <spookybones> Hello there.
[20:42] <redblade7> hi
[20:42] <spookybones> Spooky Bones here.
[20:42] <redblade7> redblade7 here.
[20:43] <redblade7> what's up?
[20:43] <spookybones> I am installing xubuntu on my booklet
[20:43] <redblade7> what's a booklet?
[20:43] <spookybones> Nokia Booklet 3G
[20:43] <redblade7> is that what they call kindles and stuff now?
[20:43] <spookybones> basically, a netbook
[20:43] <redblade7> oh
[20:44] <spookybones> my installer says: Warning: Source ID 7199 was not found when attempt to remove it
[20:44] <spookybones> and many other messages
[20:45] <spookybones> any idea what does that means? I am not quite the tech savvy
[20:47] <redblade7> not familiar with installing xubuntu on 3g devices sorry :(
[20:47] <redblade7> stay around in another channel and someone more mobile-literate can help you out later
[20:48] <spookybones> glib.source_remove(self.rows_changed_id)
[20:50] <spookybones> any channel you can recommend me?
[20:54] <knome> spookybones, did you check the installation media integrity?
[20:55] <spookybones> the flash drive or the hdd on the netbook?
[20:57] <redblade7> no i meant you would leave your message here, and then go chat in one of the regular channels while waiting for an answer
[20:57] <redblade7> since it's kinda specialized
[20:57] <redblade7> installing xubuntu on a phone
[20:57] <redblade7> or whatever the 3g device is
[20:57] <spookybones> a phone?
[20:57] <redblade7> not a phone
[20:57] <spookybones> it is a laptop
[20:57] <spookybones> mini laptop
[20:58] <redblade7> really?
[20:58] <spookybones> yes
[20:58] <redblade7> i thought 3G meant it was  a phone device
[20:58] <redblade7> it's just marketing?
[20:58] <knome> spookybones, where you are installing from, so the flash drive
[20:58] <spookybones> it has a 3G SIM slot
[20:58] <spookybones> hence, 3g
[20:58] <spookybones> from a flash drive
[20:58] <redblade7> hmm interesting
[20:59] <redblade7> then you can bypass your isp and just use mobile data, i'd imagine that would be interesting
[20:59] <spookybones> yeah, I could do that
[21:00] <spookybones> it was an experiment nokia did back in the day
[21:00] <spookybones> having a netbook using windows 7 with 3G
[21:00] <knome> please let me remind you both we have #xubuntu-offtopic for offtopic (eg. non-support) discussions
[21:02] <spookybones> is there a xubuntu support channel?
[21:02] <knome> you have just arrived here.
[21:02] <knome> which is why i also asked whether you had checked the installation media integrity
[21:02] <spookybones> yes, the flash drive is fine
[21:03] <spookybones> I suspect it is the HDD
[21:04] <knome> flash drive is fine meaning what? the hardware physically? or the ISO that is "burned" on it?
[21:05] <spookybones> it is readable, can store, delete, rewrite, pshycally
[21:05] <spookybones> as well the ISO
[21:05] <spookybones> but I suspect, the HDD is the one faulty
[21:06] <knome> then i would run some testing on that...
[21:06] <spookybones> sometimes the installer finds the hdd, sometimes not
[21:06] <knome> ok, sounds like that's it
[21:06] <spookybones> how I test that?
[21:06] <spookybones> tried ubuntu, tried zorin, tried windows installer
[21:06] <spookybones> all did the same behaviour
[21:07] <knome> i guess there you go
[21:07] <spookybones> it is hard to find 1.8" hdd
[21:08] <spookybones> I can run live sessions, but it is an sluggish experience
[21:09] <spookybones> I guess there's no way to fix a faulty hdd, right?
[21:10] <knome> not really, no
[21:10] <spookybones> then, I guess I'll have to acquire a new one, huh
[21:11] <spookybones> are there SSD of 1.8"?
[21:11] <knome> i've no idea, but they could definitely fit that size...
[21:12] <spookybones> okay, well thanks for all despite no solution as it is now
[21:12] <spookybones> I'll have to look for a new hdd
[21:12] <knome> or write off the hardware completely as legacy hardware and get a new one
[21:13] <spookybones> what do you mean?
[21:13] <spookybones> oh
[21:14] <spookybones> get a new laptop?
[21:14] <knome> yes
[21:14] <spookybones> suggestions?
[21:14] <spookybones> wouldn't cost me more a new laptop than a hdd?
[21:14] <knome> not really - you'll have to figure out what you need
[21:15] <knome> probably, but you'd get much more out of it than from the old netbook, i'd imagine
[21:15] <spookybones> 2009 laptop
[21:16] <spookybones> almost 10 years
[21:16] <knome> indeed
[21:16] <knome> and since it's a netbook, probably not the high-end in performance from 2009 either
[21:16] <knome> so any - even the cheapest ones - will easily be much more powerful than that
[21:17] <spookybones> just need a word typewriter
[21:17] <knome> but this discussion is more for #xubuntu-offtopic anyway
[21:17] <spookybones> I know.
[21:17] <knome> good ;)
[21:17] <spookybones> a question
[21:17] <spookybones> how I could be sure there is no other issues with the device?
[21:18] <knome> considering you can run the live session, that's a good indicator
[21:18] <knome> if you want, you can run memtest to see if there are any issues (that pop up) with the memory
[21:18] <spookybones> so... so far the hdd could the only trouble I am having?
[21:19] <spookybones> cuz if it has other issues, might perhaps opt for a new one
[21:19] <knome> again, being able to run the live session is a good sign
[21:19] <spookybones> sorry, I am not quite tech savvy
[21:20] <knome> no worries
[21:20] <spookybones> well, thanks for the info
[21:20] <spookybones> I'll have to consider a new device
[21:20] <knome> np, good luck
[21:21] <spookybones> since a 10 year laptop might not meet the 2017 standarts
[21:21] <spookybones> standard*
[21:21] <spookybones> and since it is a netbook... less power as well
[21:22] <knome> well yes... ultimately, running a 2017 operating system on a 2009 machine isn't going to be blazing fast
[21:23] <spookybones> was trying to watch a youtube video... not a nice experience
[21:23] <spookybones> sounded like 2 videos trying to play at same time
[21:23] <spookybones> well, gotta go
[21:23] <spookybones> have a nice day/night
[21:24] <knome> you too
[21:31] <nooodlesnodes> who here runs a surface pro or acer switch or equvilent
[21:32] <knome> i don't, but why not ask the real question you are having and find out of anybody can help?
[21:36] <nooodlesnodes> I 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 it
[21:36] <nooodlesnodes> is geared towards keyboard and mouse
[21:36] <nooodlesnodes> so anyone got both and can tell me how it works?
[21:37] <nooodlesnodes> fuck
[21:37] <nooodlesnodes> sorry wrong channel
[21:37] <knome> yes, please notice this is a family-friendly channel
[21:38] <knome> also, you really don't want to run microsoft office on linux
[23:11] <john_rambo>  When I try to run conky I get this "conky: missing text block in configuration"
[23:11] <krytarik> john_rambo: Please stop cross-posting.
[23:12] <john_rambo> Okay
