[04:32] <lopta> I have a .iso image to write to a USB flash drive on (what's left of) a Xubuntu host. I typed "mount" to get an idea of what the flash drive might show up as but I can't make head nor tail of it.
[04:33] <lopta> Ah, I think it might be sdb (looking at dmesg output)
[04:36] <lopta> Let's see what happens when I write over that.
[05:06] <qwebirc52676> hi is tthere any way where we can install ubuntu server with wifi ??
[05:06] <lopta> qwebirc52676: I'm not sure but there's an #ubuntu-server channel, I think
[05:06] <lopta> They might know.
[05:07] <qwebirc52676> because without interface setting i cnt go to next step
[05:07] <qwebirc52676> *cant
[05:07] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> Try #ubuntu.
[05:08] <lopta> qwebirc52676: Did you check to see whether there was an image with the sets already downloaded, so it doesn't demand an Internet connection at install time?
[05:08] <lopta> I may be thinking of another operating system.
[05:08] <qwebirc52676> yes i already downloaded and make it boot usb
[05:09] <lopta> I'm surprised it's demanding an Internet connection then.
[05:11] <qwebirc52676> also only 2 option Done and backk      no option like skip zzzzZZZZZZ
[05:12] <lopta> Well that's unfortunate.
[05:13] <lopta> I should pick this up again later today.  I have work in the morning.
[05:13] <lopta> qwebirc52676: Good luck
[05:14] <qwebirc52676> also i found this https://askubuntu.com/questions/1032644/ubuntu-server-18-04-setting-wifi-connections-when-install
[06:03] <tsimonq2> If anyone's just lurking here and wants to contribute, take a look here: https://twitter.com/LubuntuOfficial/status/1021998494364655616
[06:03] <tsimonq2> We just need testing of the 18.04.1 images :)

[17:04] <deewreckd> can i get pointed in the right directions for recommened driver for an older AMD HD7640G graphics driver?
[17:05] <lynorian> do the default ones it ships with not work?
[17:06] <deewreckd> its loaded with xorg
[17:06] <deewreckd> but i dont believe its actually using the gpu, just the cpu
[17:06] <deewreckd> but then again i cant prove this without some sort of usage monitor
[17:10] <lynorian> well what driver is it using did you have to boot with nomodeset or something when you boot it
[17:10] <lynorian> that just uses the cpu but will get it booted
[17:12] <deewreckd> as far as i know its just using xorg, unless i dont understand what xorg actually does
[17:12] <lynorian> xorg is a display server and there are many different graphics drivers for xorg
[17:12] <lynorian> xorg has been around seemingly forever
[17:17] <deewreckd> well i rember there beeing a package called xserver-xorg-video-ati
[17:18] <lynorian> I think that would use the radeon driver though but I don't have many amd machines or gpus
[17:21] <deewreckd> yeah i;ve noticed alot of reddit and stack posts are about nvidia.
[22:54] <danielp> bonjour à tous
[22:57] <danielp> petit souci à l'installation de la 18.04 sur vieux portable packard bell easynote B3410W. L'affichage est correct en live cd mais reduit à l'installation. Une idée ?

[22:58] <danielp> ok so let's try in english
[23:01] <danielp> is there anybody could help me. I've got screen resolution problem when i install the lubuntu 18.04 on a old laptop packard bell easynote B3410W. The resolution is good in live cd testing but after installation i've a low resolution. Any idea. It's a via graphic card
[23:03] <danielp> i just try with the acpi=off and nomodeset options and waiting for the result without any hope but..
[23:05] <danielp> ok i see bye bye
[23:10] <krytarik> danielp: Well, more patience and/or try #ubuntu too.
[23:38] <lopta> Right, that's Lubuntu on my daughter's PC.
[23:38] <lopta> Let's see if it boots.
[23:42] <lopta> Success!
[23:44] <lopta> Time to mow the lawn.
[23:45] <lopta> (I'm told)
[23:54] <G5_> Which version is the latest that supports a PowerMac G5? Is it the 18.04 Desktop 64 or the 17.04 Desktop PPC? Thanks for supporting PPCs!
[23:54] <wxl> we dont' support PPC anymore
[23:54] <wxl> at least not on current versions
[23:55] <wxl> 14.04 still has PPC support
[23:55] <G5_> The 17.04 PPC 64 is still on the website for download. Can I use it?
[23:55] <wxl> oh i'm sorry yes 16.04 has it, too. not 17.04
[23:57] <G5_> Right 16.04. Ok. Last question. Do you know if 16.04 will run current versions of Firefox for security reasons? Thanks.
[23:57] <wxl> !info firefox xenial
[23:57] <ubottu> firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 61.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (xenial), package size 44136 kB, installed size 168090 kB
[23:58] <wxl> ^^ that's the lastest version of firefox in xenial
[23:58] <G5_> I’ll look that up but is that a recent/secure version?
[23:59] <wxl> all software teams are always working towards ensuring security
[23:59] <wxl> especially with LTS releases
[23:59] <wxl> that said, support from Lubuntu ends April 2019 on xenial
[23:59] <wxl> you'll still get updated packages from the archive in general until 2021, though
