[16:10] <bamberbiz> hmm stay with 18.04 or reinstall/upgrade to 18.10, i'm wondering to myself
[16:12] <NerdTheThird> not that much worth on xubuntu since there were no improvements to DE, and only some upgrades to everything else
[16:12] <NerdTheThird> i'd stay if i were you for that sweet LTS
[17:08] <xubuntu63i> sup
[17:09] <xubuntu63i> my installation of xubuntu 18.04 is running, but it seems to take awfully long
[17:09] <xubuntu63i> INIT_GENERIC_CONDITON: unknown 0x07
[17:09] <xubuntu63i> is what it said
[17:09] <xubuntu63i> smt smt nouveau disp
[17:10] <xubuntu63i> I can't c&p it I think
[17:10] <brainwash> looks like something that needs to be googled
[17:10] <xubuntu63i> heh
[17:10] <xubuntu63i> true
[17:14] <xubuntu63i> No luck with google, just some posts with Lenovo laptops
[17:14] <xubuntu63i> Im on a desktop pc though
[17:14] <xubuntu63i> Idk the isntaller just seems stuck, last output was Started Run anacron jobs...
[17:15] <xubuntu63i> 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] <brainwash> personally, I would try it again after aborting the current installation process
[17:17] <brainwash> or you could check the log files directly
[17:17] <brainwash> in /var/log/
[17:17] <xubuntu63i> ok ty
[17:17] <xubuntu63i> I will try to check them first
[17:18] <brainwash> what hardware is that actually?
[17:18] <xubuntu63i> there are a bunch of logs here
[17:18] <xubuntu63i> Oh, I don't know all of it tbh
[17:18] <xubuntu63i> it was running 16.04 fine, I can try to get the details if you're interested
[17:19] <brainwash> it's a custom built desktop PC?
[17:19] <xubuntu63i> It was from grey computers I believe, they helped me piece it together
[17:19] <xubuntu63i> it has seen 7 years though
[17:19] <xubuntu63i> so yeah I guess you could call it custom built
[17:20] <xubuntu63i> What kind of logs should I look for
[17:20] <xubuntu63i> the 'faillog' seems to be empty
[17:21] <brainwash> if you have a launchpad account, you could run "ubuntu-bug ubiquity" to create a new bug report
[17:21] <xubuntu63i> I don't have that
[17:21] <brainwash> this would gather and upload relevant log files automatically
[17:21] <xubuntu63i> ok, should I make an account then I guess so
[17:21] <brainwash> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity
[17:22] <brainwash> is /var/log/installer present?
[17:22] <xubuntu63i> yes, it contains debug, dm, verstion
[17:22] <xubuntu63i> version*
[17:23] <brainwash> look through those
[17:25] <xubuntu63i> Gtk-CRITICAL and such in debug, GLib-GObject-CRITICAL  in dm
[17:25] <xubuntu63i> and lots of them
[17:25] <xubuntu63i> is this 'critical'? :)
[17:26] <brainwash> if they interfere with the installation process, then yes
[17:29] <brainwash> so yeah, try to install it again, and see if encounter the same problem
[17:30] <xubuntu63i> ok
[17:30] <xubuntu63i> can't create launchpad account
[17:30] <xubuntu63i> apparently im too stupid
[17:30] <xubuntu63i> but the confirmation link just sends me back to register
[17:31] <xubuntu63i> whelp, guess I'll restart installation
[17:31] <brainwash> =S
[17:31] <xubuntu63i> anyway ty
[17:34] <xubuntu70w> @brainwash
[17:35] <xubuntu70w> it works now I guess
[17:35] <xubuntu70w> just restarted and forgot to boot from usb
[17:35] <xubuntu70w> then linux started up and no problems so far
[17:35] <xubuntu70w> I think the installer just didn't exit somehow but was really finished.
[18:57] <lopta> Is there a handy utility for Xubuntu that will display a summary of the computer's hardware (CPU and RAM, mostly)?
[18:59] <drleviathan> 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] <lopta> drleviathan: Either works.
[19:00] <drleviathan> this command to see cpu:  cat /proc/cpuinfo
[19:01] <drleviathan> this command to see how much ram:  free -h
[19:01] <drleviathan> this command to see hard drive space: df -h
[19:02] <drleviathan> this command to list PCI devices: lspci
[19:05] <lopta> Thanks.  I forgot that Linux had /proc/cpuinfo
[21:16] <bamberbiz> There's neofetch, it gives a commandline summary type thing of hardware etc, but you might need to apt install it
[21:17] <knome> or just use inxi, which is shipped by default
[21:17] <knome> https://xubuntu.org/news/inxi/
[21:43] <lopta> Thanks bamberbiz
