[00:24] I plug an iphone into my laptop, and I can see my photos, but I'm trying to rsync ALL of the photos off of it. I can't see where it's actually mounting though. [00:36] Craigbass76: last line of the mount cmd output might be revealing [00:40] craigbass76: it's not mounted in the traditional sense. I forget the protocol it's using [00:40] craigbass76: best bet is to just use something like dropbox [00:40] leftyfb, yeah, I can't remember either. I was hoping to rsync the files off, but I gave up and just dragged them with a mouse. [00:40] hi, can we use gnome-classic in ubuntu? [00:41] saiyanprince: 16.04, yes. Not sure about 18.04 [00:41] 18.04 [00:42] every ubuntu release is called LTS, why? [00:43] !lts | saiyanprince [00:43] saiyanprince: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions are supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Bionic (Bionic Beaver 18.04). Ubuntu !flavors may have different support durations, check their release notes for information. [00:44] not every, just the Long Term Support versions. [00:44] 17.04 was also LTS [00:44] so every release is LTS [00:45] the .04's are LTS every 5 years [00:45] what about 17.10? [00:45] no [00:45] is it LTS too? [00:45] saiyanprince: 17.04 was not LTS, neither was 17.10. Your comment about "every release is LTS" is false [00:46] saiyanprince, https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle [00:46] saiyanprince: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [00:48] is it possible to install oracle 11g on ubuntu 18.04? [00:49] so every 2 years we get LTS [00:49] saiyanprince: what is oracle 11g? [00:50] any idea why single firefox session (with opened 1 simple page, not big, no fancy content) takes up to 1.5GB? [00:50] this is ridoncoulous [00:51] database [00:52] hmm [00:54] rud0lf: close firefox completely. Make sure it's not running with ps. Then open it up. See how much memory it takes. Then try a site like google.com and see how much memory it takes. If that is all fine, then it might be a problem with the page/application you're opening [00:54] saiyanprince: do you need help with something? [00:55] thank you kindly for answer [00:56] saiyanprince, yes it will install on ubuntu. I use MySql myself, but to each their own.. [01:17] how safe in terms of preventing unauthorized access to the device is the lockscreen login on android devices (assuming a strong alphanumeric passcode is used)? [01:18] lostq: wrong channel [01:18] leftyfb: where should I head to? [01:18] lostq: about an android question? [01:19] also general security [01:20] lostq: i would go to an android related IRC channel, not the Ubuntu one. [01:20] there's about a dozen Android support forums as well [01:20] teward: alright, will look further. Thanks [01:21] lostq: you have mentioned 2 different words that are topics in themselves. Maybe try joining channels with those words as the channel name? [01:21] I just don't see how anymore obvious it could be [01:21] I am on #android currently [02:15] i'm running into this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903838 after upgrading to the 4.4.0-134 kernel [02:15] Debian bug 903838 in src:linux "Unable to mount ext4 filesystem with meta_bg flag" [Serious,Fixed] === jje_ is now known as jje [02:30] hwdyki: you might want to check with the kernel folks at #ubuntu-kernel. Just keep in mind this is Saturday/Sunday, so it may take some time [02:33] k [02:35] Hey guys. I'm stuck and my google-fu has failed me. How do I update from 17.04 to current? It seems I can't get there from here, but I can't figure out how to update stepwise, either (17.04 -> 17.10 -> 18.04). Is there a way besides some dirty install or just wiping and installing clean? [02:36] somebody please helpl me [02:37] i am strugling to understand how to set up SOCKS5 global settings on my lubuntu machine, [02:37] MichaelCasson, 17.04 is EOL, post EOL the archive.ubuntu.com gets moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com; why you should get errors for updates/upgrades/install software etc, hold on I'm looking (you can modify your sources to point there yourself, then upgrade to 17.10 then 18.04 LTS) - use a LTS (long-term-support) release if you want longer than 9 month supported life [02:37] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:38] something similar to Proxifier on windows,, i cannot figure it out [02:38] thanks hggdh - was still opening a browser :) [02:38] guiverc: yw :-) [02:38] * hggdh goes to bed [02:39] Yeah, I'm usually on top of it, but this machine has been neglected lately. I'll check that link, thanks! [02:39] MichaelCasson, i'd suggest backing up your important data, and re-install fresh (though if I knew your use I may give different advice) - stick to LTS releases too for longer life [02:39] how do you @mention someone in irc? [02:39] PLLunlock, just use their name in your text line [02:39] PLLunlock: just type their nick, like I just did [02:39] hggdh. ok [02:39] anybody please, how do i set up global setting Socks5 for all traffic on my lubuntu 18.04 as similar to proxifier on windows??? [02:40] guiverc thanx. [02:40] i thin it worked [02:40] i think it worked [02:40] yep [02:41] guiverc, can you help me [02:41] PLLunlock can you help me pleas [02:41] birmalpha, if I could I would have; but haven't used socks in >20 years. [02:41] with what? [02:41] proxifier on windows [02:41] can i do that on lubuntu [02:42] is there a program that sets global proxies on all traffic [02:42] i tried Redsocks, [02:42] proxies for what kind of traffic? [02:42] birmalpha: https://www.serverlab.ca/tutorials/linux/administration-linux/how-to-configure-proxy-on-ubuntu-18-04/ [02:43] just all traffic [02:43] birmalpha: first result on google [02:43] google, says [02:43] ssh [02:43] or redsocks, [02:43] birmalpha: read the link I just gave you [02:43] sounds like a default gateway configuration problem [02:44] yes i seen that page [02:44] but i use LUBUNTU 18 and its a little different [02:45] birmalpha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A90hsGFY7Es also from google [02:45] oh wait, that might not be it [02:45] birmalpha you might be able to set it up in a firewall or router. [02:45] wow [02:45] birmalpha: https://askubuntu.com/questions/150210/how-do-i-set-system-wide-proxy-servers-in-xubuntu-lubuntu-or-ubuntu-studio [02:46] you got that link fast im watching now it looks like what im looking for though [02:46] birmalpha: http://argansos.blogspot.com/2012/05/configure-proxy-on-lubuntu.html [02:46] omg, thanks guys [02:47] birmalpha, is it really different? the screen shots will different due lxde/gnome, but leftyfb's first paste looks ok to me (I cna't check, I only have lxqt on my box; 18.10) [02:47] this is all good stuff i been searching for days [02:47] and i havent seen none of this none [02:47] birmalpha: all of that were on the first page of google searching for "lxde global proxy" [02:48] when using google; type the words you expect in your ANSWER. Don't type questions. [02:48] how ? [02:48] what you mean, exactly [02:49] PLLunlock: I find most results using words from the question, not the answer. Since a lot of people don't know the answer they're looking for. [02:49] hmmmm, [02:49] birmalpha: nevermind that. Good luck setting up your proxy settings [02:49] THANKS,, [02:49] i will look this stuff up [02:49] a question is a start to find the terms of the answer [02:49] thank you guys allot : ) [02:51] ok, leftyfb i kind of understand what you mean, i will try to rearange my search techniques [02:51] birmalpha: the answers you're looking for should be in either of the 2 links I gave you [02:52] Hmm... still no joy on the upgrade. Followed all the steps (again) changed my sources.list to old-releases, still get "An upgrade from 'zesty' to 'bionic' is not supported with this tool." [02:53] birmalpha: btw, last I checked, https cannot be used through a transparent proxy [02:53] Could I upgrade if I burned a 17.10 disc and used that? [02:53] MichaelCasson: you don't upgrade from 17.04 to 18.04. You need to go to 17.10 first [02:54] MichaelCasson: you are better off just installing 18.04 from scratch and restoring from backup [02:54] I'm trying to get to 17.10, just not having any luck. [02:55] MichaelCasson: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:55] Yeah, I might just have to do that. I'm dual booting this machine and getting everything just right is a pain I was tryng to avoid. [02:55] MichaelCasson: update the sources.list to be 17.10(artful), then upgrade to 17.10 [02:56] according to the above link [02:56] Ah. I was using the one I was on, not the one I was trying to get to. [02:56] MichaelCasson: because you didn't read the instructions from the link provided [02:57] "To begin the upgrade, make sure you have a sources.list like the following, with CODENAME being your release, e.g. quantal." [02:57] My release is zesty. [02:57] I'm trying to get to artful. [02:58] I did read it. :/ [02:58] I HAVE FOUND MY ANSWERS .. DAYS I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING, AND ALL THAT IT TOOK WAS TO LINK UP ON THIS HEXCHAT AND I FOUND MY ANSWER IN 5 MINUTES [02:59] I AM SO SO RELEIVED RIGHT NOW, THNKS AGAIN [02:59] Hi, can anybody help me about LUKS encryption? [03:02] I had my external hdd encrypted three times today, because after few mounts I'm getting a "bad superblock" error with no way to fix it. I did use ext4 filesystem. I don't know whats wrong. Maybe using ext3 or disabling journal would help? === Dreaman is now known as Blade [03:32] MichaelCasson, what stage are you at? if you `sudo apt update` do you get errors (any lines saying zesty still?) [03:38] I get an error: [03:38] "Err:4 http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful Release [03:38] 404 Not Found" [03:39] First three: [03:39] Ign:1 http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful InRelease [03:39] Ign:2 http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-updates InRelease [03:39] Ign:3 http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-security InRelease [03:39] please pastebin if it's over a single line... artful hasn't yet been moved there; it's still in archives.ubuntu.com (but due EOL it'll go there first) - it was the zesty lines I was more interested in. [03:40] s;/go there first/go there very soon/ [03:41] No lines saying zesty. [03:42] :) (good); the lines saying artful should currently point @ archives.ubuntu.com (I forget which day it'll be moved..); then sudo apt update; then try do-release-upgrade again [03:43] "Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)" [03:44] got this for all three sources [03:45] i've never had that error, but this https://askubuntu.com/questions/899009/sudo-apt-update-always-giving-clearsigned-file-isnt-valid-got-nosplit-does may have answers (proxy settings) [03:51] I'm not using any proxy, I've now created an apt.conf setting it as such. Same error. :/ [03:54] i would then undo any changes made to apt.conf if they didn't help (or restore .bak etc) -- looking [03:57] It didn't exist before, so I'll just delete it. [04:01] Found it. 'archive.ubuntu.com' not 'archives.ubuntu.com' [04:04] 'do-release-upgrade' still trying to take me to zesty, though. [04:04] :) sorry if it was because of my typo - I didn't notice it [04:05] No worries. [04:05] 1291 packages can be upgraded. Do this or won't matter? [04:08] is your 17.04 up-to-date (if it wasn't latest, I'd upgrade to latest before release-upgrade to next version, but it may not be necessary) [04:10] check that by setting sources back to zesty? [04:12] if it was me; no i'd go ahead as download occurs first (you can always ^C out; autoclean;autoremove first... but your choice) [04:12] ignore my second first [04:13] Geronimo [04:23] :q [04:27] I'm running out of steam tonight.

[05:23] it says 1 unreconized service running [05:23] wisewolf: did you scan -sV like i said?

Should make it harder to pull your hair out [08:16] downloaded latest live cd made a dvd restarted computer booted from cd pressed tab told it english then told it i want to try before install (to make sure everything works) and i got acpi exception could not find/resolve named package element: LMK 20170831/dspkginit-381 [08:17] any ideas [08:18] this is for distro 18.04 btw [08:20] dutchuss2016, did you verify download (compare md5sum of iso etc before writing to dvd; I'd also suggest 'try ubuntu' on another machine to ensure it's not a bad dvd-write) [08:21] https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu [08:22] hi ,does intel n3050 1.6Ghz-2.16Ghz is enough to run ubuntu 64 gnome ??thanks [08:23] (or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM) [08:24] linux8659, yes, but I'd consider memory too [08:25] guiverc it has 4gb but supports 8.but are you sure this processor is enough? [08:27] i've not used cpu; but i've run 18.04 on a c2d (core 2 duo); but gnome would not be my first choice... [08:28] fyi: the fsb speed of machine I'm assuming it's like is 667mhz [08:28] guiverc yes [08:29] mate maybe better? [08:29] Zexaron: Personally I use munin for that, works really well [08:29] Zexaron: http://mouses.xyz/munin/localdomain/localhost.localdomain/index.html [08:30] linux8659, mate on 18.04 is GTK3+ so would not be my first choice either; mate was lighter before gtk+3 move so 16.04 mate is lighter. If it were me I'd use XFCE or LXDE - you can always have both installed... [08:30] linux8659: I agree with guiverc on this - I'd go LXDE of XFCE4 - mate/gnome is going to be a little heavy for that hardware [08:30] so gnome might not run properly [08:31] eg. I have a t43 (thinkpad celeron single core) lubuntu 16.04; MATE & XFCE run fine on that machine with 1.5gb - I'd not try gnome on my t43; but yours should run it fine, it'd just not be my choice. [08:31] linux8659: it'll run, but on that CPU i'd consider xbuntu or lubuntu [08:32] run versus nice-to-run is very subjective.. yes it'll run, but will the experience be as good as .... (my point) [08:32] thanks guys I understand (shame I don t like xfce...e [08:33] linux8659: check LXDE then, you might like it more [08:33] I need openvpn and torbrowser to run simustanously... [08:34] linux8659, runnings apps like that at same time is more a factor of ram; more than cpu [08:34] guiverc yes! [08:35] could anyone suggest what i might have done wrong? ive used dd to clone a linux live cd to a file, and then written it back with cdw, it wont boot. i can mount the file and examine it. some of the files give an io error. i believe the cd was undamaged and dd ran without error [08:40] linux8659, here are the requirements https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements -- which include graphics card requirement you didn't mention! [08:40] (nor me - I didn't mention it either; a requirement of gnome) [08:40] bouma: I/O errors generally are an indication of a damaged file system/bad media :( [08:42] yes but it say minimum dual core 2Ghz ,this is 1.6 base frequecy up to 2.16 ,wich counts ,1.6 or 2.16?? [08:47] linux8659, technically i believe it meets the requirement, however as stated it's just meeting it. why I've suggested XFCE & LXDE - you'll have decide yourself if you think it's fast enough for you, not going to annoy you (checking your video card is 3d accelerated capable; 256mb ram minimum etc) [08:48] guiverc THANKS [08:49] linux8659, fyi: even MATE on 18.04 LTS may be faster than gnome (if you don't like xfce/lxde; MATE on 18.04 just isn't as light as older versions) [08:50] thanks [08:53] would debian be faster since it comes with less packages installed ??? [08:53] linux8659, that is a off-topic question. we only support Ubuntu here. [08:54] fyi: I'd think not === juboxi is now known as jubo2 [10:16] is anyone who knows anything about the live cd online [10:16] dutchuss2016, ? [10:17] im having a seriousl issue with the machine i want to put ubuntu on [10:17] dutchuss2016, gotta be a bit more clear [10:17] burned the live cd correctly (i know this because my grandmas machine is currently running the live cd right now [10:18] what exactly is the issue? [10:19] but im getting an error when i try to run the exact same disc on this machine [10:20] could not find/resolve named package element LMK 20170831 dspkginit-381 [10:20] also noticed when this machine trys to load the bootloader the disc skips it and heads treaight to the ubuntu installer [10:21] have you tried doing the install from a usb stick? [10:21] there is a difference in dvd drive ages between the machine thats currently running the file right now and this machine [10:21] this machine refused to load from usb that was my very first 5 attempts [10:22] bios ignores the fact that the usb fdd is there at all [10:22] maybe the stick is usb3 and your machine doesn't support it [10:23] i dont where thats would be a issue [10:24] usb3 stick should work on usb2 just fine [10:24] not all do [10:24] and if the usb stick is of the verbatim brand, i've had major issues with those [10:24] but i'm just throwing out suggestions [10:25] dutchuss2016: try taking out the dvd rom from your grandma's computer and put it in the machine you want to install ubuntu on. if same error occurs, it's not related to the install source [10:27] looks like a acpi error [10:27] google is your friend [10:27] i cant take out her dvd rom is soldered to the mobo [10:28] it says the error is annoying but harmless [10:28] google is useless i already went there it tried telling me it was my hard drive (which isnt the case cause i tried booting without the hard drive even connected and got the same issue [10:28] the system should still bot [10:28] boot [10:29] after that error ubuntu tries to boot and throws the same error and boots into a command line shell [10:29] instead of the full desktop gui [10:29] try passing acpi=off on the live cd then [10:30] im kinda talking to you guys on the computer thats having issues [10:30] ummm [10:30] and getting some other tips in the ubuntu discord [10:30] in currently booted into windblows 10 [10:32] dutchuss2016, do what i said [10:32] dutchuss2016, that gets rid of the error [10:32] dutchuss2016, its a acpi issue with your bios [10:33] so when ubuntu boots go to options f2 i believe acpi off? [10:34] dutchuss2016, i think its esc to get to the live cd bootloader then add acpi=off to the kernel line [10:34] dutchuss2016, have you ever passed a grub command before [10:35] never needed too every machine ive ever installed ubuntu on has just worked as expected [10:35] not been a complete bitch about it because bios [10:35] dutchuss2016, if you machine has a bios update that may also fix it [10:35] haha your funny [10:36] this machine bios update [10:36] considering ats an am3+ mobo that stopped manufacture 4 years ago and is the last revision im positive its on the last version of the bios [10:37] dutchuss2016, well acpi=off should get rid of the error and boot [10:39] press escape at what point duing the boot to be able to set that flag? [10:40] dutchuss2016, one you have a working install you can add it to your d40-custom to make it a permant option [10:40] dutchuss2016, there should be like a 10 second windows after your pc starts and the live cd starts loading [10:41] dutchuss2016, normaly you see the ubuntu logo [10:41] before the animated logo [10:42] so pretty much hit escape as soon as my screen turns that fugly shade of purple [10:42] dutchuss2016, it will say start ubuntu or install ubuntu and other options [10:42] dutchuss2016, yea [10:43] dutchuss2016: are you using uefi mode? [10:43] yes [10:43] my win 10 boots uefi [10:44] EriC^^, he need to start with acpi=off didnt think efi came into play [10:44] dutchuss2016: when you boot the live usb you should get a menu with grub at the top, press "e" over try ubuntu and add what you want to the line that says linux /boot/vmlinuz [10:45] on this machine i dont get the grub window thats what ive been trying to say [10:45] it skips that and goes straight to the fugly purple shit [10:45] why are you using acpi=off? you've got to pay attention to the temps, it might not control the fans anymore [10:45] dutchuss2016, doing what i said will show it [10:45] EriC^^, bios conflict [10:45] dutchuss2016: hold shift to get grub [10:45] dutchuss2016: i think it's not booting the live usb then.. [10:46] how'd you make the live usb? [10:46] live dvd [10:46] EriC^^, live cd is working on another machine [10:46] aha [10:46] EriC^^, he gets a acpi error then drops to bash [10:46] and how else do ya think i made it i put a dvd in and told windows to burn the iso at 1x speed (the disc works in my grandmas machine but not mine [10:47] try holding shift see if you get grub, esc might work if shift doesnt [10:47] I just connected a hard drive to my computer and formatted it via gparted. If I mount it via `Files` file manager, I need root permission to add files in there. How do I make it so I can edit files by default? [10:47] cukier: what filesystem did you format it? [10:47] ext4 [10:48] cukier: type "sudo chown $USER: -R /mountpoint" [10:48] cukier: /mountpoint is possibly /media/$USER/something .. get it from the output of "df" [10:48] ill be back in 10 mins if i fail at getting into the live cd and 15 if i succeed [10:49] Thank you! [10:49] cukier: no problem [10:49] <3 [10:50] for the acpi off method is there anything i have to type? [10:50] or is it a menu i just toggle? [10:50] dutchuss2016: you add acpi=off in the kernel line instead of quiet splash then press f10 to boot [10:51] so pressing esc instead of tab will give me a sudo terminal type window [10:51] dutchuss2016, if it works and you pc does not melt then you ccan make it a perment option post install [10:52] i have a cooler master hyper evo 212 with a custom dial nob fan that overrides the board anyways [10:52] dutchuss2016, your golden then [10:53] ill try holding shift during the cd load and if that fails ill rape the escape key untill i get ty type acpi off [10:54] ill be back shortly with either good news or "other news" [10:55] lol [11:05] Hello [11:05] I'm troubleshooting SSDs and I would like to get some verbose/debug messaging visible if possible a constant console opened with them displaying in real time [11:06] like the verbose output from boot [11:06] but it would continue when in desktop somehow [11:06] I want only messages about filesystem and sata devices, no other stuff [11:06] I installed a bunch of logger apps [11:06] loggedfs for example [11:07] Hi, I'm new to IRC. I'm stuck upgrading to 18.04 I've just filed a question on Launchpad. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/672977 [11:07] but not sure if it outputs kernel stuff about sata messages [11:07] My machine has text on the screen after attempting to boot. I'm not sure what to do next. [11:07] I've left the text there, and hoping for some live support. [11:09] qwebirc66236: what text does it have [11:10] hi Eric, the last line on the screen says: [OK] Started GNOME Display Manager. Dispatcher Service....before the pop link was shut down.... [11:11] qwebirc66236: try booting a live usb to troubleshoot [11:11] The ubuntu I was installing was on a usb itself. [11:11] I run ubuntu from usb day to day [11:12] should I turn it off and see what it does next? [11:12] I'm thinking I should just install 18.04 on a new usb and then see if I can recover my files from my current usb [11:13] qwebirc66236: that'd work [11:13] is there anything I can do which can help then next unfortunate that tries to upgrade to 18.04? [11:14] fwiw usb installations have some issues, lots of corrupted filesystems and whatnot [11:14] qwebirc66236: i dont think so [11:14] ok, so it's just a known problem? I'll not waste any more time then. Thanks a lot for giving me an immediate response Eric. Have a good Sunday. [11:15] thanks, bye [11:15] qwebirc66236: no problem, bye [11:15] yeah usb's cant take the constant small writes and stuff from an installed os, it's better to use different media [11:15] they die way quicker [11:16] what's a better way to have a temporary medium to run ubuntu on a windows machine? [11:16] I don't want to install anything on this machine, it's a work machine. [11:17] Hey folks [11:17] I have been able to use a usb really well. Inobtrusive. I buy a new one every couple of years. [11:19] so im back with some new developments [11:20] acpi offgot a little further gave me the ubuntu logo with some more errors then eventually blackscreened and stopped === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [11:22] qwebirc66236: hmm, maybe a small ssd with usb to sata cable? they're so lightweight and super fast [11:22] is there somewhere you guys would feel comfortable opening images (i took pictures of the screens of test that i got [11:22] qwebirc66236: i think the problem you have isnt related to the usb, seems like some package related to fs mounting and other tools didnt install so possibly that, you could use a live usb to decrypt mount and chroot and try to fix apt if you want to get to the bottom of it [11:23] dutchuss2016: imgur.com [11:23] EricC^^: thanks, I'll do that to get the files back. I was just wondering what advice you'd give to me. What should I use instead of a usb stick? [11:26] https://imgur.com/9QDlj0z [11:26] https://imgur.com/eG2oEXW [11:27] https://imgur.com/ia4Xo2O [11:27] then black screen and dvd drive stopped reading dvd (stayed that way for 3 mins where i called it and rebooted back into windblows [11:29] qwebirc66236: maybe some portable external ssd? [11:30] you could use usb3.0 that's a 5gigabit limit vs sata's 6gigabit, so you'd still be able to get 600+MB/s [11:30] qwebirc66236: the ssd's are incredibly lightweight, just more bulky than a usb [11:32] EricC^^: thanks, I'll look for that [11:33] any one got anything on my images what else i can try [11:36] dutchuss2016: you using internal or external (usb) sound card? [11:37] EricC^^: Do you mind helping me still? I've just booted another USB ubuntu installation of 16.04. It says it doesn't recognize the file system of my current USB. I haven't run that 16.04 installation for a while, and I'm updating it right now. I'll try my current USB stick again when the updates have run through. [11:38] dutchuss2016, add module_blacklist=snd_hda_intel,r8169 to grub [11:39] jeremy31: i guess dutchuss2016 is going to need an internet connection. [11:39] what you mean tom [11:40] tomreyn, they could skip using r8169 on the command [11:40] dutchuss2016: r8169 is a driver for your ethernet [11:41] but actually you might get away with an offline installation. [11:41] but i think those two modules failing are still a result of the cdrom not working well on this drive [11:41] im not even trying to install im trying to get into the live desktop [11:41] or dvd rather [11:42] tomreyn, I think dutchuss2016 said that the DVD worked in a different computer [11:42] dutchuss2016: you mentioned earlier that you were initially trying to boot off a usb storage, but you said you were using the "usb-fdd" option for this. fdd stands for floppy disk drive, so a usb connected floppy drive.
