[04:21] <xubuntu27w> Is NFS client support missing from some phase of the LiveCD install? I'm almost able to PXE boot into 18.04 desktop but it can't seem to find the NFS share.
[04:24] <flocculant> xubuntu27w: there are no nfs files on the livecd - install what's needed, likely need to re-install on the 18.04 when it's installed
[04:27] <xubuntu27w> I noticed that emergency mode has wget ... might that be enough to PXE boot the LiveCD enough to install to begin with?
[04:28] <xubuntu27w> "Unable to find a live file system on the network" is the error it throws when drops down into ash
[04:29] <xubuntu27w> I'm going off this tutorial: https://www.downtowndougbrown.com/2017/03/hosting-ubuntu-16-04-desktop-live-install-iso-on-a-pxe-netboot-server-bios-and-uefi-simultaneously/
[04:31] <flocculant> sorry - no clue - you might actually be better off using #ubuntu - at this stage there's no difference betwen flavours
[04:34] <xubuntu27w> Ubuntu 16.04 didn't like my ancient GeForce chipset and none of my ancient systems like Ubuntu 18.04. When the recommend a 2.0Ghz dualie they really mean it.
[04:39] <xubuntu27w> The computer I'm trying to PXE boot is so old I can't find a IDE optical drive for it, it won't boot of USB and the GPU's beefiness is measured in "pixel pipelines" hence the attempt at a PXE boot or fancy grub rescues with "toram" so the installer can partition the same drive it booted from.
[04:40] <xubuntu27w> The latter case worked beautifully in Xubuntu Desktop 16.04. I'm not sure why I couldn't get it to work from 18.04 but I'm guessing I didn't have enough ram for that "toram" option.
[04:43] <xubuntu27w> I consider my use case to be "obscure bordering on insane". Worst case scenario I can go back to 16.04 ... Sony won't even let me download the XP drivers anymore, neither will nVidia. Long live Linux!
[04:45] <xubuntu27w> Thanks, flocculant. If I find some kind of workaround I'll publish it somewhere.

[12:30] <xubuntu53i> while installing
[12:30] <xubuntu53i> huh
[15:18] <xubuntu077> Hello, does anyone know how to change the languages on the computer? Thx for help
[17:11] <orangeguru> hi
[17:11] <orangeguru> i have a problem
[17:11] <diogenes_> !ask
[17:11] <ubottu> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[17:12] <orangeguru> how do i get displayed the system info. I have search wide and far and cannot find about info on the operating system. Basicly i need to know if 32 or 64
[17:12] <orangeguru> but now it became a matter of princip and frustration
[17:18] <pmjdebruijn> open a terminal
[17:18] <pmjdebruijn> "uname -a"
[17:19] <pmjdebruijn> or "uname -m" more specifically
[17:19] <pmjdebruijn> orangeguru: !
[17:19] <diogenes_> orangeguru, or simply type in arch
[17:19] <orangeguru> cool thansk
[17:52] <orangeguru> Hi Again: I am having this issue, that i cannot install anything on my system. Sorry about the long post here. I am given this message:
[17:52] <orangeguru> "You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[17:52] <orangeguru> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[17:52] <orangeguru> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[17:52] <orangeguru> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[17:52] <orangeguru> bleachbit : Depends: python-gtk2 (>= 2.14) but it is not going to be installed
[17:52] <orangeguru> Depends: menu but it is not going to be installed
[18:53] <pmjdebruijn> orangeguru: did you install any software from outside of the xubuntu repositories?
[18:54] <pmjdebruijn> the issue you describe is very very unlikely to ever happen in normal xubuntu, unless you've forcefully installed software that's not supposed to be installed on xubuntu
[18:55] <pmjdebruijn> orangeguru: you might want to pastebin the entire message
[18:58] <pmjdebruijn> also, pastebin "cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*"

[21:32] <n-iCe> hi
[21:43] <oene> hello, im installing Xubuntu 18.04 and there is a problem with the keyboard, some keys are good but some not, for example the o-key asserts a 6, which is the fn value of the key
[21:45] <oene> the issue is specific to Xubuntu 18.04, so no problems on Xubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04
[21:55] <nomenon> oene, what kind of keyboard
[21:57] <oene> a laptop
[21:58] <nomenon> what did you select? US?
[21:59] <nomenon> or did you try to configure by pushing keys
[21:59] <oene> yes
[21:59] <oene> also yes
[21:59] <nomenon> what kind of laptop
[22:00] <oene> Medion Akoya E4241S-A-64F2
[22:01] <oene> the problem is with the keys with blue secondary function on them that can be used in combination with the Fn key
[22:04] <nomenon> i think that is handled by your bios, so you are dependent on a driver for that laptop keyboard
[22:06] <nomenon> you said it worked before, so you likely just need a driver
[22:06] <nomenon> i know that does not help much sorry
[22:08] <oene> interestingly, when running the installer without live booting, the keyboard is working properly
[22:08] <oene> but when live booting and then running the same installer there is problems
[22:08] <oene> so i would think it is xfce related, could it be configuration or a bugg?
[22:09] <nomenon> Hopefully a dev sees this, im just a lowly user.
[22:09] <oene> thank you nomenon
[22:10] <nomenon> oene, you could try turning numlock options off in your BIOS.  I know that stops letters popping up as numbers in some situations
[22:11] <oene> i will look
[22:26] <oene> nomenon the boot setting didnt chance a thing however it does appear that Xubuntu activates numlock and i managed to turn it off with the help of the fn key and the keyboard works right
[22:27] <nomenon> awesome!
[22:27] <nomenon> I wont lie I left and drank a beer and had a smoke but I came back and was searching for an answer
[22:30] <oene> haha, that's actually quite nice of you though
[22:30] <nomenon> oene, it seems your laptop manufacturer needs some linux people
[22:30] <nomenon> lots of similar issues across distros with your brand
[22:31] <oene> oh, interesting
[22:31] <nomenon> fn key issues  numlock letters replaced with numbers
[22:31] <oene> everythings seems to be working fine for me now though, even the touchpad and wifi, which is great
[22:31]  * nomenon dances
[22:32] <nomenon> the only problem now is, what shall i dooooo with my time
[22:33] <nomenon> Zo veel tijd. Zo weinig initiatief.
[22:39] <oene> i know what i'm doing with mine, figuring out how irc works, lol
[22:53] <nomenon> the only important IRC command is ./me
[22:53]  * nomenon dances
[22:53]  * nomenon wiggles
[22:54]  * oene drools over xfce
[22:56] <nomenon> exactly my friend
[23:15] <nomenon> :/
