[14:42] ver 16.04.4 keeps disconnecting from the router when using wi-fi, as did ver 15. Is this problem likely to be solved in ver 17 [14:42] still rocking with my bionic beta waiting with baited breath hoping nothing goes drastically wrong before final [14:45] yeah Bionic here as well. Keep having hidden crashes that are notified, but not apparent [14:45] user|65753, I have not heard of a problem like that - I would think it is a config error but cannot say for sure as the version numbers are not familiar to me [14:45] BluesKaj, same but had no effect on machines performance so summed it up to my lucky stars [14:47] I tried in vain to put the correct data into the wireless networking module. But the connection drops after about 10 mins. I switched power management off. This problem did not occur in ver 14 [14:47] ... the little crash icon in the system tray right BluesKaj [14:48] user|65753, 14.04? [14:48] user|65753, lts?

Is there a particular dropbox package for use with kubuntu(kde) like I have installed nautilus-dropbox on my gnome Ubuntu? [19:46] anyine know anything about vpn's? [19:46] * BionicMac is new to Ubuntu and this is my first hour on kde, ever. =) thanks for helping the newbie. [19:47] Prototype: a little [19:47] BionicMac: I am not aware of one, but googling kde dropbox gets may results [19:47] ok, a friend pointed this site out to me and asked me to look at item 111 (link on its way) [19:47] Prototype: I use expressvpn but they have their own ubuntu package that is extremely user-friendly. [19:48] BionicMac: but a official native application, I am not aware of such [19:48] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Nm7mxfFvmdn-3Az-BtE5O0BIdbJiIAWUnkoAF_v_0ug/edit#gid=0 [19:48] nord VPN has a leak, which kind of concerns me [19:49] im just wondering what else gets leaked [19:49] web rtc? [19:49] Hey... im stuck kde partition manager for 3 hours.. [19:50] Prototype: People here usually recommend private internet access, do ask the people in #kubuntu-offtopic [19:50] Prototype: https://www.expressvpn.com/webrtc-leak-test [19:50] user|88943: hi [19:50] user|88943: any error messages or crash notification? [19:51] no message or someting, but only 66% - waiting for operation to finish.. [19:51] yep, i have an ipv4 leak [19:52] I have 7200RMP, so is not slow... i forgot to use gparted.. but i tried with kde.... [19:52] Someone can help me..? [19:53] user|88943: open konsole, run the command "dmesg". check if you have any related error messages there. what is the size of the partition/hard drive which is processed using kde partition manager [19:55] @user|88943, Sound like you may have (accidently?) moved a partition during the partition setup. Depenind on the size of your drive and the amount of data saved, moving partition can take a like time (6+ hours on tradition HD's). [19:55] I have 1tb hdd, so i tried to resize 600gb into 500gb.. https://thepasteb.in/p/k5hY0E8Avn6sE [19:56] is not fully log, if need i give you.. [19:56] user|88943: ok === himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf [19:56] user|88943: resizing for a partition of that size, could take a lot of time [19:57] im waiting about 3.5hours almost 4 hours... how much i need to wait? [19:57] user|88943: but you dont see any disk activity? [19:57] user|88943: either in task manager or the hdd led? [19:57] i see , about 100+R/W on htop [19:57] user|88943: and the cpu usage? [19:58] Umm, about 40/30% [19:58] hi there! got a minor problem and would be thankful for assistance: got a x220 connected to a screen via dockingstation. usually it works like a charm, but some hours the dp port stopped recognizing the screen at all. [19:58] I have 4 core. [19:59] user|88943: I see no error message in the log you gave, seems the operation is going well. I think you need to wait. === Zzzz is now known as redwhite [19:59] Maybe i give you full log? [19:59] user|88943: you can calculate the time assuming your hdd throughput as 50 MB/s and calcuate the ETA [20:00] user|88943: full log is not needed [20:00] Resizing partitions is very quick. However, using a partition GUI such as gparted or KDE partition manager, it very easy to accidenlty slide/move a partition. I have accidenlty moved them myself even though I know exactly what NOT to do. [20:01] i pressed only resize [20:01] i tried a test, so 80mb/s but how to calculate eta? [20:01] IrcsomeBot: that is possible and I have accidentally done that too [20:03] user|88943: during the resizing you might have moved the partition by mistake. What are the pending operation shown in kde partition manager [20:03] @wolfram_, Sorry, no experience with docking station here. Can you see the monitor with xrandr? What's the brand of the video card. [20:03] just i see someting moving xxxxxx some codes [20:03] I have a question concerning my installation preocess on kubuntu. I installed and booted just fine. However, I wanted to encrypt the entire partition that I am installing kubuntu to. Everytime I chose "encrypt" for the partition during the manul partition segment of the install it would fail. Only way I could get through the install is to "not" check encrypt. I wonder why this happens? [20:03] is last stage [20:03] s/preocess/process/ [20:04] i see is fully 105 free space ( i checked with some console command) [20:04] user|88943: are you on laptop or desktop, is it possible to give your device another 4 hours in worst case? [20:05] desktop.. [20:06] user|88943: can you leave it on for 4 hours and see if it finishes? [20:06] i see someting wierd maybe, (command running is /usr/bin/partitionmanager --dontsu) maybe this case? i try .. [20:08] on last stage say is moving filesystem some codes, but i see on dm.. [ 2.609343] EXT4-fs (sda7): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) [20:08] user|88943: I think any resizing process wont start without sudo access, didn't it ask for the password when it started to resize or when kde partition manager started [20:09] is saying me about root acces on opening [20:09] @DarinMiller thanks for your reply! It neither works via laptop dp. xrandr says disconnected. does "Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)" help? maybe hardware drivers for video out gone "bad"? === redwhite is now known as Zzzz [20:09] user|88943: thats the desired behavior [20:10] so this cause about root or ? [20:10] BionicMac: I dont know much, but are you talking about what they call lvm? [20:11] user|88943: kde partition has root access [20:11] user|88943: I mean the kde partition manager [20:11] @wolfram_, Which version of Kubuntu? [20:12] i don't know why the kde partition manager took more long that another programs.. for me resize another program is about 1 minute finished. [20:12] user|88943: it depends upon how many sectors have to be relocated and how much they are fragmented. [20:12] @wolfram_, One possible trouble shooting option would be creating an 18.04 live USB to see if the live session also has the same issue. [20:13] maybe latest log for me ( i removed usb that time) [45559.816111] FAT-fs (sdb1): unable to read boot sector to mark fs as dirty [20:13] user|88943: lesser of those takes less time to resize/move [20:14] user|88943: the partition you are resizing is on a removable hdd? [20:14] but this partition is using about 200gb :/ [20:15] i saying on resize kde partition manager say is finished about 20 sec, but moving filesystem is not finished.. [20:16] @DarinMiller 16.04, i would really like to try reinstalling all drivers, but I don't have a clue how. [20:18] user|88943: that is what IrcsomeBot told, I think you move the partition by accident [20:18] user|88943: that is what IrcsomeBot told, I think you moved the partition by accident [20:18] phoenix_firebrd: Well, lvm is not the encryption, that is a logical volume manager which can be used along with luks encryption. Basically the standard default option in the ubuntu installer uses lukc encryption and you can chose to use lvm or not. LUKS disk encrytion does not require lvm , it is an option. [20:19] maybe i don't know but how fix that? [20:19] s/lukc/luks/ [20:19] BionicMac: what is the issue in your case? [20:20] user|88943: wait for a long time :) [20:20] It seem everytime I try and encrypt the root partition it fails ( the installer will not let me get past that point I have to change it to "no encryption" to carry on.). I have no issues when I use encryption on a non-root partition with ubuntu installers. [20:21] user|88943: you could type this here and the system will tell you. [20:21] !patience | user|88943 [20:21] user|88943: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com/ http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ or http://www.kubuntuforums.net/ while you wait. [20:22] amazing [20:22] user|88943: you got patience now? [20:22] yes. [20:22] irc still working somewhere [20:22] So i try to wait about another 4 hours, i think next 4 hours my harddisk maybe die :/ because is not designed for 24/7 hours (i using this pc about 12 hours right now) [20:22] :'D I think so , lol [20:23] user|88943: whenever you need patience come here and the irc mods will give you a lot [20:23] user|88943: I understand [20:24] Have good hours, i try to leave any aplications (to save my span life) [20:25] user|88943: If what you say is true, then you have to weight your options, whether is data is more important or not. As far as I know all the hdd are designed to handle decent heat for a little bit of time [20:25] phoenix_firebrd: I wasn't using lvm. Only encryption. I select this option for the root partition in the ubuntu manual partitioning section of the installer and it will not let me encrypt the root partition. Only non-root partitions. Here is a link I found a user with my exact issue: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2328306 <- I am reading this now. [20:25] user|88943: I recommend you to give another 4hrs [20:26] Thank you. I have right now patience. If i see some newers erros i come here. [20:29] BionicMac: It is mentioned in the forum that, boot partition should not be encrypted, what about it in your case? === himvish997__ is now known as himvish997 [20:29] user|88943: ok [20:29] phoenix_firebrd: I have some more research to do tonight on the subject it seems. I never encrypt /boot. [20:30] My /boot is EFI and I leave it be at all costs. [20:32] btw, I am really diggin' kubuntu. I really believe this is less resource hungry than the standard Ubuntu Bionic Beaver running Gnome. [20:32] This is my first go with kde plasma too. Very nice. [20:33] phoenix_firebrd: Thanks for the help. I will do more research tonight on the subject of encrypting root partition during the ububnt install process. [20:33] BionicMac: I too feel the same. may be kde neon could replace my kubuntu someday [20:33] neon? [20:34] BionicMac: https://neon.kde.org/ [20:34] I am not familiar with KDE at all. It has been many years since I ran KDE. [20:34] ok thanks [20:34] BionicMac: yw [20:35] phoenix_firebrd: Is this neon available on ubuntu repos? [20:35] Nice feedback folks === Zzzz is now known as redwhite [20:35] Glad to here you like the low resource usage [20:35] BionicMac: neon is a distro based on ubuntu [20:36] BionicMac: neon=kde+ubuntu [20:36] sick_rimmit: It is snappy. Fastest kde I have ever used. [20:36] sick_rimmit: ya [20:36] Yes, we've been really impressed with the performance improvements in QT and KDE Frameworks [20:37] Plasma 5, has stabilised nicely in time for our LTS release [20:37] 18-04 is going to be a great release [20:37] I am waiting for wayland to become default [20:37] Looks like I am going to have to bite the bullet and install a lot of gnome libs anyway to have more ubuntu packages available. case and point: nautilus-dropbox runs fine in kde. It's only called nautilus* because it gives a menu entry in nautilus. The dropbox runs the same in either desktop. [20:38] ok [20:39] BionicMac: I have droped dropbox a long time ago and I am not sure about it [20:39] Since there is no specific kde|qt-dropbox "official-ish" Ubuntu package. I could download the .deb from dropbox but I like to use Ubuntu repo packages as much as possible. [20:41] BionicMac: If you are worried about the credibility of the package from dropbox, then dont install it. I never install a software other than from the repos. If you dont care of the security, then you can go head and install the deb package [20:41] BionicMac: have you checked if there is any snap package available? [20:42] phoenix_firebrd: Yeah, I need somewhere to store files on a remote (read: cloud blah) server so... dropbox is probably the least of the evils. I guess I should go ahead and spin up a server of my own just as cheap as a dropbox account. Plus I could run Ubuntu on it. [20:43] phoenix_firebrd: Yes, I am picky about the credibility of packages/software in general. I do trust the dropbox direct download though. Like I said , I could install nautilus-dropbox from Ubuntu. [20:43] BionicMac: I dont judge you, me dumping dropbox is a political move. I dont hate cloud. Its just the packages from the untrusted sources that scares me [20:43] Understood. [20:44] BionicMac: let me check if there is snap package for it [20:44] ah, good idea === redwhite is now known as Zzzz [20:48] BionicMac: there seems to be a official solution given for integrating dropbox with dolphin file browser. Do you want to try it? [20:49] phoenix_firebrd: yes. [20:49] BionicMac: by saying official , I mean by kubuntu/kde i think [20:49] BionicMac: install the package "dolphin-plugins" [20:49] great! [20:52] * BionicMac wonders why default system monitor GUIs do not read data from lm-sensors. I mean I always have to grab gkrellm or something to get temps and fans so may as well use it for the full meal deal. [20:53] BionicMac: after that, go to dolphin menu control-> configure dolphin menu. there is the left select services. and then on the right select dolphin. then press apply/ok and then close and reopen all the dolphin instances [20:53] phoenix_firebrd: Wow! Dude! I just discovered "Discover"! Offical "vanillla" dropbox Ubuntu package right there. Sweet! What is this "Discover"? I guess the equivalent of "Ubuntu Software The Orange Bag" In gnome-ish Ubuntu. =) [20:53] BionicMac: you mean the ksysguard or the plasma widget? [20:54] phoenix_firebrd: ok thanks for the info there concerning dolphin too.1 [20:54] BionicMac: ya [20:54] BionicMac: discover is ~ ubuntu software center [20:55] Ok! nice! I wondered where the Orange Bag went. =) [20:55] p [20:55] hahaaa [20:55] BionicMac: :) [20:55] BionicMac: wait [20:55] * BionicMac has evil grins... [20:55] BionicMac: I just check it says the dropbox you might be refering is the dropbox nautilus plugin [20:56] BionicMac: what does the description says? [20:56] phoenix_firebrd: Yes, it is. but hey, it's cool. Plus I have the info from you on the dolphin integration. [20:56] I just read it. [20:57] BionicMac: ok [20:57] nautilus. It will work. [20:57] ok [20:57] BionicMac: the gui you are talking about related to lm-sensors, it it the task manager or the widget? [20:58] I use gkrellm. The default system monitors do not read fan/temps from lm-sensors. [20:59] gkrellm reads lm-sensors complete data. [20:59] It's super sweet. [20:59] BionicMac: ok, what is not showing the data? [20:59] Been around for decades. [21:00] Default kubuntu/kde/ system monitor. It reads no temps or fans data. [21:00] BionicMac: If you are talking about the desktop widget, may be the sensors we need to monitor has to be selected first [21:01] BionicMac: the kde system monitor is called, ksysguard. have you run the lmsensor setup after installing the lmsensors where it detects the sensors and adds support for it [21:02] I haven't installed here yet. I assumed it would be the same as gnome. It never read the temp and fan data. [21:02] fresh install still setting up... gimme a sec [21:02] ok [21:03] yes, that is what I meant by system monitor 'ksysguard'. let me grab lm-sensors nd see if this reads it. Maybe I wil get lucky. [21:03] plus I need coffee. =) [21:03] man I am friggin DIGGIN' Plasme and kubuntu period. [21:03] oh yes! [21:03] s/Plasme/Plasma/ [21:04] wow... I think, for me... Kde trumps gnome at this point. I have gnome Ubuntu dual booting here instead of cluttering up each install. I kept them seperate and fresh and clean. [21:05] nice [21:05] I mean I have kubuntu & standard gnome Ubuntu dual booting and seperate. [21:07] Actually this is a quadruple booting system right now,. 1) Ubuntu standard Beaver Gnome -- 2) Kubuntu -- 3) Antergos Cinnamon -- 4) Mac OSC High Sierra. [21:07] :) [21:07] s/OSC/OSX/ === Zzzz is now known as redwhite [21:07] me similarly [21:10] I have a partition for sharing files between all distros ( except the misbehaving OSX proprietary APFS - BS ) [21:16] phoenix_firebrd: Is there an app to take screenshots with on a default kubuntu plasma installation? I don't want to install an app for nothing. I'm trying to keep clean and mean. === redwhite is now known as Zzzz [21:17] BionicMac: kubuntu has a default app for it its called spectacle [21:18] BionicMac: see if you have that app installed [21:19] sweet [21:22] Hey i got succes to resize, you guys are god [21:22] Thumbs up brother. [21:22] =) [21:23] but kde partition manager is wierd, i say total time -1 [21:23] user|89422: :) nice [21:23] Im go bed right now. So thank you again. [21:24] user|89422: yw [21:28] phoenix_firebrd: Check my dolphin setup screenshot on the top right.. I am where you led me and no "dropbox" on the right.... Here: https://i.imgur.com/PKvP7TR.jpg [21:30] BionicMac: have you installed the package "dolphin-plugins" ? [21:30] phoenix_firebrd: Ah hA! New ss with me adding the Dropbox Service menu (dolphin add-on service) https://i.imgur.com/xLmk472.jpg [21:30] =) [21:31] let me check for dolphin-plugins.... before I download the dropbox service add-on.... [21:31] BionicMac: ya [21:31] BionicMac: try using muon, its like synaptic, its very nice [21:32] Sweet, yes I found tha tearlier but I am so used to cli apt by now. [21:33] thats even nice [21:33] ok, dolphin-plugins installed. restarting Dolphin... [21:33] phoenix_firebrd: How you like those screenshots? =) === Zzzz is now known as redwhite [21:35] BionicMac: looks nice :) [21:36] phoenix_firebrd: And there it is! Magic!@! You da man! No extra cruft doing it this way. I'm all about clean and mean. [21:37] phoenix_firebrd: Kind of cluttered but I am setting up... Ive yet to learn about workspaces... =) I want the hotkeys/shortcuts to plasma workspaces. =) [21:41] phoenix_firebrd: Here I am selecting it in dolphin here: https://i.imgur.com/mtSfVm7.jpg [21:42] BionicMac: thats the option [21:42] BionicMac: did it work [21:43] Not yet.. it isn't there in the context menu... Let me get nautilus-dropbox installed now... I'm using muon for the first time to do it... brb [21:44] probably dolpin needs dropbox installed to activate the feature properly... [21:44] BionicMac: you could see some related videos in youtube to get to know the latest feature and stuff in kde/kubuntu [21:44] BionicMac: no [21:44] phoenix_firebrd: That sounds great! [21:44] phoenix_firebrd: hmmm I don't see the dropbox context menu. [21:45] BionicMac: I just installed the dolphin-plugins and got the dolphin option in the services === redwhite is now known as Zzzz [21:45] phoenix_firebrd: let me check again [21:48] phoenix_firebrd: Yes, I have the dropbox option to select after I installed dolphin-plugins.... however... I restarted dolphin and did not see the right-click dropbox context menu.... but I did not have dropbox instaled.... now I do ( unless I am missing whree it is in the menu... ) [21:48] firefox ver 59 is not in package manager for 17.04? === santa is now known as Guest79586 [21:49] BionicMac: I think the dropbox plugin for dolphin is outdated [21:49] phoenix_firebrd: Check mate!

This was a super clean way to do it too. Like it was meant to be. Man I really appreciate you spending time to help me. That is very kind of you phoenix_firebrd. [22:37] Hey is anybody trying 18.04 beta? [22:38] BionicMac: :) [22:38] phoenix_firebrd: I documented step by step with pictures/ss and I will be glad to make a HOWTO/tips/hints for someone else in the community that may use it. [22:38] Guest23426: me [22:38] Guest23426: using live cd, i test [22:39] BionicMac: do you have as a file? [22:39] I installed it on my laptop. Pretty good for the most part. [22:39] Guest23426: good [22:39] I don't get sddm upon bootup, so I have to login to console and type startx everytime [22:39] it's overall pretty stable [22:40] phoenix_firebrd: This is a rough draft. I will make this nicer and put it on a blog or something. [22:40] https://pastebin.com/kR2KPkXN [22:40] phoenix_firebrd: ^^ That is the the entire process. [22:40] Guest23426: did you install 18.04? [22:40] HI. I'm trying to come back to Windows but it seems more complicated that I thought [22:41] BionicMac: blog will be super [22:41] BionicMac: when someone googles, it could lead to your blog [22:41] phoenix_firebrd: Of course the links are not hyperIzed you will have to copy and paste to view the screenshots. [22:41] phoenix_firebrd: Very true. [22:41] Is there a way to change BIOS boot to UEFI boot? [22:42] phoenix_firebrd: Yes, It's Kubuntu 18.04 [22:42] Guest23426: have you updated after the install? [22:42] phoenix_firebrd: Screenshots turned out perfect also. [22:42] Guest23426: are you using a nvidia gpu? [22:42] BionicMac: ya [22:43] phoenix_firebrd: I have updated, yes. And it's integrated graphics [22:44] Guest23426: do you see any error in sddm log? [22:44] I'm a bit of a n00b, sorry. What folder would it be in? [22:45] Guest23426: the file is in /var/log [22:45] Guest23426: /var/log/sddm.log [22:45] thanks :D brb [22:45] Is there a way to change BIOS boot to UEFI boot? [22:46] sddm.log appears to be blank [22:48] Guest23426: the greeter crashes only on boot or it always crashes? [22:48] Esteban16: Is there an option in your BIOS menu? [22:48] Guest23426: its not that one [22:49] Guest23426: what Esteban16 problem is software related [22:49] I'm trying to change boot order but I can't [22:49] phoenix_firebrd: I never see the greeter. It goes immediately to command line. I think it went to the greeter once after an update, but then it hasn't since [22:49] Esteban16: you installed a bios based os and then a efi based one later? [22:50] No, I installed Kubuntu throught dual reboot. Previously I had Windows 10 [22:50] I've searched for a solution, and so far I have tried adding startx to .bashrc [22:50] Guest23426: it could be the .xauthority file in your user folder creating the issue [22:50] Guest23426: delete a file named .xauthority in the /home// folder [22:51] ok [22:51] Guest23426: and try restarting [22:52] okay I've deleted .xauthority [22:52] Esteban16: now do you have windows 10? because if you have windows and when you switch from bios to uefi and then basic, booting into windows 10 will break [22:52] I'll reboot and see what happened. thank you for your help [22:52] I completely deleted Windows. [22:53] Guest23426: yw [22:54] Esteban16: see if this article helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [22:55] Thank you, I'll read it. Just want to say that I want to switch from bios to uefi because I've read I need that in order to install Windows. [22:56] Esteban16: you mean windows 10 creators update? [22:57] Yes, phoenix_firebrd [22:57] Esteban16: where did you read about that requirement? I did have any issue installing with bios mode [22:58] phoenix_firebrd: hi there, I'm the one who was having trouble with my login. I deleted the .xauthority file, rebooted, and it still went to terminal [22:58] Esteban16: I only had issue when I switched to uefi mode in bios and then back [22:59] phoenix_firebrd: From https://www.onetransistor.eu/2015/09/uefi-ntfs-bootable-windows-usb-linux.html [22:59] You mean there's no need for switching? [23:00] Esteban16: as far as I know, you dont need to do it [23:00] scott__: wait [23:01] phoenix_firebrd: I see. Then I just need the bootable USB and install Windows? [23:02] Esteban16: ya [23:02] phoenix_firebrd: sure [23:03] scott__: are you on 18.04 now? [23:03] It sounds pretty easy. But when selecting the USB operative system. I think the USB lacks files [23:03] *But when selecting the USB appers operative system not found [23:03] phoenix_firebrd: yes [23:04] Esteban16: cant understand what you say, can you elaborate ? [23:05] scott__: is there any error messages in xorg.0.log? [23:06] phoenix_firebrd: In the boot menu (Fn+F12) I press the USB with the ISO image, but appears: Operative system not found. I think there are missing files in the USB, besides the ISO image [23:08] phoenix_firebrd: I see some errors about fonts not existing - "usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/" [23:11] scott__: run the following command in the terminal and paste the output here "journalctl -u sddm.service" [23:11] scott__: use any paste service like paste.ubuntu.com [23:13] My console keeps telling me that "Only console users are allowed to run the X server" [23:13] phoenix_firebrd: I think that's the problem. I've watched many tutorials and they show more files, not just the ISO image. But I don't know where they're from [23:14] https://pastebin.com/Q0U8azNH [23:14] Esteban16: usb of windows or linux? [23:15] phoenix_firebrd: If you refer to the ISO image, it's Windows [23:16] scott__: paste your xorg.0.log [23:17] Esteban16: no you said the operating system image you have written in the USB that is not getting detected during boot, which one is it? [23:18] It's Windows 10, phoenix_firebrd [23:18] https://pastebin.com/CxmNCXT6 - Xorg.0.log [23:18] Esteban16: what software are you using to write the image to usb? [23:19] is sddm-theme-breeze installed? [23:19] I'm not using any software, I just copied/paged the image. [23:19] scott__: ^^ [23:19] scott__: you said you are using an integrated graphics card, what intel processor are you using? [23:20] scott__: try acheronuk suggestion [23:20] sddm-theme-breeze is installed [23:20] acheronuk: scott__is testing 18.04 and its a fresh install [23:21] phoenix_firebrd: I didn't know it was necessary to use a software [23:21] X or wayland? [23:21] intel celeron cpu 900 @ 2.20 ghz [23:21] oh, nevermind [23:23] scott__: it could be a bug in the beta release, does this happen with a live iso? [23:23] acheronuk: It goes straight to command line, and I have to type startx after every reboot. [23:23] yeah, I was not thinking [23:24] phoenix_firebrd: No I didn't have any issues with the live iso [23:24] Esteban16: you mean you copied the iso into the pendrive O_o ? [23:24] Yes :/ [23:24] Esteban16: lol [23:25] Esteban16: you need to use a usb writing software to write a iso image to usb [23:25] Esteban16: I would recommend Rosa image writer for linux isos and Rufus for windows isos [23:26] If I had known it from the beginning xD [23:26] phoenix_firebrd: Thank you so much, I'll try what you told me [23:26]
