[00:30] https://lubuntu.net [00:30] https://lubuntu.me [00:30] why two domains? [00:33] lubuntu.me is the official website [00:34] oh thanks, the .net get the first position in google ranking [00:35] nice SEO for .net hehehe [02:00] N0um3n0 cya [02:22] @WishBoy [ N0um3n0 cya], 😉 [03:26] Does anyone know why a live cd would fail to boot with "Failed to load image \EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi: Invalid Parameter"? [03:26] This is the 18.04 live cd [16:42] yeah it means that the ISO didn't write properly and the EFI is invalid [16:43] but that's atypical. [16:43] ShellcatZero: ^ [19:26] jon robson was added by: jon robson [19:39] HI. I installed 18.10 on an old dell inspiron 1300 - 32 bit. The CD player is not working on this image. I have Ubuntu restricted extras installed. Tried clementine and rhythmbox but no joy. The drive is appearing when I type lshw. Any ideas? [19:42] jon robson, try vlc [19:43] Tried that also but the drive did not appear. Album wasn't accessible!! [19:45] jon robson, then open deadbeef and drag and drop the audio files in there [19:45] if they don't play then right click and convert to mp3 [19:46] The CD doesn't appear at all. Tried several albums, nothing working. This was never a problem with other lubuntu images. Just tried this one for lxqt [19:48] oh i see, maybe something is with the cd drive? tried to clean the cd lense? [19:48] BUT extremely careful [19:48] Good idea. Never thought of that! I'll give it a try! [20:01] No joy. The CD is spinning the disc constantly but not reading the album. [20:03] jon robson. have you tied a different cd? [20:08] Yep. Tried four. The drive is showing with all functionality - cdr, dvdr, etc. Not actually doing anything. There appears to be a bug as I had mint on it only 2 days ago and drive worked fine. [20:11] jon robson, is the kernel the same version? maybe it's the kernel [20:13] Aha! That cud be it. How do I check that as I remember at one point seeing kernel 4.18 while ubuntu 18.04 install on another laptop was 4.15 or so. [20:15] you can check the kernel on the release notes on the website [20:15] or: uname -r [20:15] in terminal [20:15] But f if theres an issue chow do I downgrade. [20:16] you install it and then just install another kernel [20:16] and that's it [20:16] You mean reinstall the image in full? [20:17] what do you mean? i didn't get it? what OS you're running nnow? [20:20] Lubuntu 18.10. My Ubuntu was on a 64 bit. I am using a 32 bit 18.10 image now but was just referring to diferent kernels on the Ubuntu 18.04 and the lubuntu 18.10 images that I have. [20:22] jon robson, i'd not recommend 32 bit isos, they are not getting as much support nowadays [20:22] why're you using a 32bit 18.10 image if you have a 64bit system [20:22] just asking. [20:22] use 64bit if you have 64bit support [20:22] 32bit ISOs are dead now from hereon out [20:23] Ya. I have a really old 32 bit dell from 2001. It runs lubuntu well. I gave the 5 [20:28] I gave my 64 bit lenovo to my daughter afafter gietting her a drawing pad for Christmas. It needed windows to run drivers so I am left with my old 32 bit. Looks like I am gonna have to let it go now. 😭😭😭 [20:41] @jon robson [I gave my 64 bit lenovo to my daughter afafter gietting her a drawing pad for Ch …], Some distros based on Debian have official 32bit versions. ... I use MX linux, but how much ram does it have? [20:44] I put 2GB in. That is the max it will hold. 60GB hard drive. I just use need email, libreoffice, browser and telegram really. Just liaten to cds when typing. I'm old. Lol!! [20:49] @AceHW [Some distros based on Debian have official 32bit versions. ... I use MX linux, but …], I might give it a try. Is it latex? [20:49] @AceHW [Some distros based on Debian have official 32bit versions. ... I use MX linux, but …], Is it lxqt? [21:23] @jon robson [Is it lxqt?], XFCE [21:31] There's Knoppix, but that's mainly meant to be booted from a flash drive [21:32] I generally use a flash drive. I'll give mx a try. thanks. [21:32] @AceHW [There's Knoppix, but that's mainly meant to be booted from a flash drive], It uses LXDE by default [21:33] Hmm. I feel there was a bit of miscommunication going on there [21:35] For installation that is. My cd drive isn't workin n this image so hopefully mx will sort that [22:52] Installed mx linux. Drive not working. Looks like my drive is busted. Thanks for help anyway. New lap it is then
