=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [16:10] hmm stay with 18.04 or reinstall/upgrade to 18.10, i'm wondering to myself [16:12] not that much worth on xubuntu since there were no improvements to DE, and only some upgrades to everything else [16:12] i'd stay if i were you for that sweet LTS [17:08] sup [17:09] my installation of xubuntu 18.04 is running, but it seems to take awfully long [17:09] INIT_GENERIC_CONDITON: unknown 0x07 [17:09] is what it said [17:09] smt smt nouveau disp [17:10] I can't c&p it I think [17:10] looks like something that needs to be googled [17:10] heh [17:10] true [17:14] No luck with google, just some posts with Lenovo laptops [17:14] Im on a desktop pc though [17:14] Idk the isntaller just seems stuck, last output was Started Run anacron jobs... [17:15] Its says its copying installation logs... and the progress bar is full, but it has been like this for the last half hour [17:16] personally, I would try it again after aborting the current installation process [17:17] or you could check the log files directly [17:17] in /var/log/ [17:17] ok ty [17:17] I will try to check them first [17:18] what hardware is that actually? [17:18] there are a bunch of logs here [17:18] Oh, I don't know all of it tbh [17:18] it was running 16.04 fine, I can try to get the details if you're interested [17:19] it's a custom built desktop PC? [17:19] It was from grey computers I believe, they helped me piece it together [17:19] it has seen 7 years though [17:19] so yeah I guess you could call it custom built [17:20] What kind of logs should I look for [17:20] the 'faillog' seems to be empty [17:21] if you have a launchpad account, you could run "ubuntu-bug ubiquity" to create a new bug report [17:21] I don't have that [17:21] this would gather and upload relevant log files automatically [17:21] ok, should I make an account then I guess so [17:21] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity [17:22] is /var/log/installer present? [17:22] yes, it contains debug, dm, verstion [17:22] version* [17:23] look through those [17:25] Gtk-CRITICAL and such in debug, GLib-GObject-CRITICAL in dm [17:25] and lots of them [17:25] is this 'critical'? :) [17:26] if they interfere with the installation process, then yes [17:29] so yeah, try to install it again, and see if encounter the same problem [17:30] ok [17:30] can't create launchpad account [17:30] apparently im too stupid [17:30] but the confirmation link just sends me back to register [17:31] whelp, guess I'll restart installation [17:31] =S [17:31] anyway ty [17:34] @brainwash [17:35] it works now I guess [17:35] just restarted and forgot to boot from usb [17:35] then linux started up and no problems so far [17:35] I think the installer just didn't exit somehow but was really finished. [18:57] Is there a handy utility for Xubuntu that will display a summary of the computer's hardware (CPU and RAM, mostly)? [18:59] as a window up in the background? or do you just want to query for that info? (There are some command line tools for that). [19:00] drleviathan: Either works. [19:00] this command to see cpu: cat /proc/cpuinfo [19:01] this command to see how much ram: free -h [19:01] this command to see hard drive space: df -h [19:02] this command to list PCI devices: lspci [19:05] Thanks. I forgot that Linux had /proc/cpuinfo [21:16] There's neofetch, it gives a commandline summary type thing of hardware etc, but you might need to apt install it [21:17] or just use inxi, which is shipped by default [21:17] https://xubuntu.org/news/inxi/ [21:43] Thanks bamberbiz [22:02] np === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube
