[17:14] <mrSnok> hello, how to set up vpn gui lubuntu
[17:16] <mrSnok> KVpnc ?
[19:30] <jaggiJ> heloo o/
[19:31] <wxl> howdy
[19:32] <jaggiJ> I struggle most day to install lubuntu and I can make it only with unebootin, rufus and dd boot into interface with no installation options. It just start lubuntu into some kind of live interface where mouse and keyboard dont work at all.
[19:32] <jaggiJ> while unetbootin installs ok , but there is problem with wifi . One time it is another its not.
[19:32] <wxl> did you check the hashes, jaggiJ ?
[19:32] <jaggiJ> yes
[19:32] <wxl> did you check the media at boot?
[19:34] <jaggiJ> one usb only , I am sure i start right. Now what I did : i  deleted all drives in gpart, make them new again. Reformatiing usb and once again i install using rufus there with checking for errors.
[19:35] <jaggiJ> wxl:  check media at boot like how ?
[19:35] <wxl> when you boot it, you get to a menu.. the menu with "start ubuntu".. and it has an option "check disc for defects"
[19:36] <jaggiJ> I first  set up partitions with gparted. All is wiped out before and new primary 300 mb fat32 is made , and extended partition with logicals for  ext4 , home and swap
[19:36] <wxl> on the installation media?
[19:37] <jaggiJ> wxl:  yes I have that menu exactly when write usb with rufus
[19:37] <wxl> jaggiJ: did you run the check?
[19:37] <jaggiJ> i did, and it said it fouund file with one error, then reboot
[19:38] <wxl> if you have an error then the media is not valid and will cause all sorts of problems
[19:38] <wxl> personally, i'd use dd. rarely does it fail
[19:38] <jaggiJ> i am now writing to other usb with checked option to check for errors
[19:38] <jaggiJ> i used dd  made in lubuntu itself, now rufus with iso
[19:39] <jaggiJ> i am now on windows, while i try install on laptop
[19:39] <wxl> i'm not asking you to check for errors when writing
[19:39] <wxl> thta's not necessarily going to produce the same test
[19:39] <wxl> you need to boot, get to the menu, and run the test. if it fails, you need to write it again
[19:39] <wxl> ..unless you didn't check the hashes, in which case, you might also have a download error
[19:40] <jaggiJ> i did check hashes of my download images with sha256
[19:40] <jaggiJ> i can double that though
[19:40] <wxl> then you are having copy errors
[19:40] <wxl> with dd, you shouldn't have any. it's the most reliable solution
[19:42] <jaggiJ> i could have messed something up (likely), though now i have no linuxto redo it.
[19:42] <jaggiJ> dd if=<your_iso> of=/dev/sdb
[19:42] <jaggiJ> that syntax ?
[19:43] <lynorian> jaggiJ: yes that is correct for if the usb drive is sdb
[19:44] <jaggiJ> my problems with net are not lubuntu related but general linux, my debian installation couldnt detect wifi either. Most reliable detection i had when i run live after unetbootin
[19:44] <lynorian> might have a problematic card
[19:45] <lynorian> I would need lspci output to really help you more with that
[19:45] <jaggiJ> now i gotta get a cable, or fix the one i did cut with scissors
[19:45] <jaggiJ> if i can....
[19:46] <jaggiJ> but that is weird, it always work on live version
[19:46] <jaggiJ> and one time at least it worked on full install
[19:47] <jaggiJ> trying again with another usb stick
[19:48] <jaggiJ> 4 options, I recon to choose check disc for defects...
[19:50] <jaggiJ> i remember when i had full install and i used log off it looged off to screen where i can choose user and password and was same issue, mouse worked but clicks no effects. keyboard dead. No errors found now rebooting
[19:53] <jaggiJ> ooo neat, it does work now - usb stick then
[19:56] <jaggiJ> awesome installer btw, i didnt find anywhere else option to test keyboard locale which is important
[19:58] <lynorian> https://manual.lubuntu.me/_images/keyboard.png Do you see the bottom row  where it says type to test keyboard?
[19:58] <jaggiJ> yes i can type test it
[19:58] <lynorian> or is this 18.04
[19:59] <lynorian> do you mean autodetect?
[19:59] <jaggiJ> 18.10
[19:59] <jaggiJ> nah just possibility to type and test autodetected(or any else) keyboard
[20:00] <jaggiJ> ahhh misunderstanding
[20:00] <jaggiJ> i have no issues with it, i meant i couldnt find that option in other installators in past (other distros)
[20:02] <jaggiJ> there is a room for improvement however in regard to installation progress, when i hit install now it is like it freeze and very long time passes before i see installation progress pop up usually always past 60%. At first time i was almost  hard restarting thinking something went wrong.
[20:03] <lynorian> jaggiJ: I know I am not sure what to do about that
[20:04] <jaggiJ> idk maybe some delay between isntallation start and user hits key install now , allowing installation popup to come
[20:06] <jaggiJ> or some lightweight window popup that will run installation on few sec delay. key factor is to let user know installation started - not system freeze or endless loop./
[20:07] <jaggiJ> if i only know C i coult help :)
[20:10] <jaggiJ> ok installed, restarted , working and with net - great. 3 more distros to go.
