[00:04] <RUTT> Hello xubuntu friends!
[00:07] <RUTT> I am trying to see if my parents can handle basic web browsing / word processing via xubuntu instead of buying a new pc with a new windows version every few years.
[00:07] <RUTT> So hopefully I can send them here instead of them calling me for support
[00:09] <RUTT> As you all seem to be a vocal bunch, I'm sure they will have no problem getting help and support here!
[00:13] <krytarik> Yeeep!
[01:51] <Spass> hopefully his parents will be more patient
[03:53] <flocculant> depends where they learnt about patience ;)
[06:39] <crocus-bcn> Bon dia des de Barcelona -- Good morning from Barcelona.
[07:09] <fiet> Good Morning back to you, from about 2000 km north of you.
[08:03] <xubuntu36w> I am preparing to upgrade to 18.04 but can't find instructions for how to create a bootable USB. Where are those instructions?
[08:03] <diogenes_> xubuntu36w, upgrading doesn't require usb, re-installation requires it.
[08:04] <xubuntu36w> I am preparing to re-install, yes. From what I have heard, it's better than upgrading.
[08:05] <diogenes_> yes, absolutely
[08:05] <diogenes_> then, download the iso, use etcher to write the iso to usb
[08:08] <pmjdebruijn> sudo dd if=my.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M :D
[08:08] <pmjdebruijn> just be very very very careful in selecting /dev/sdX :D
[08:09] <diogenes_> i'd advice new users to stay away from that
[08:09] <diogenes_> only after they get more experienced
[08:09] <xubuntu36w> Yes, OK. I'm not a new user.
[08:18] <xubuntu36w> I seem to remember that it was necessary to set some boot parameters on the USB stick and therefore we had programs like unetbootin to handle that.
[08:19] <xubuntu36w> Whatever the case is, I would expect to find a section of the Xubuntu documentation about this topic
[08:21] <xubuntu36w> Nobody thinks along those lines here, I see. You're all computer geeks?
[08:26] <pmjdebruijn> boot parameters?
[08:26] <pmjdebruijn> unetbootin was never required
[08:27] <pmjdebruijn> maybe you mean syslinux
[08:27] <pmjdebruijn> that's only true if you want it on vfat or whatever
[08:30] <diogenes_> A better thing to me is not to re-write the usb over and over again but just to make a multiboot one where you can store the isos and add grub menu entries for them, when a new iso comes out, you just delete the old one and replace with the new one, also you can keep as many different distros on the same skick as you want.

[13:06] <diogenes_> sadsagfjg, only apt install no aptitude or apt-get
[13:06] <sadsagfjg> diogenes_: How?
[13:08] <diogenes_> sadsagfjg, you have to install/remove or doing other similar operations only with "apt" command, e.g apt install, apt remove, don't use neither aptitude nor apt-get.
[13:08] <diogenes_> that will save you form troubles.
[13:08] <sadsagfjg> why and how?
