[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.
[12:29] <xubuntu53i> o hi there
[12:29] <xubuntu53i> installing xubuntu so far
[12:30] <xubuntu53i> my firefox is out-of-date o_O
[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
[17:12] <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> :/
