| UniqueCrash5 | Hello? Anyone about? | 00:19 |

| lubot | <uniquecrash5> (trying via telegram instead) | 00:22 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Well, if anyone pops in - I'm trying to install lubuntu on an old computer with a hard drive that is slightly smaller than the required, technically speaking (3.8 GB). Is there a workaround for this or am I just plain out of luck? | 00:28 |
| wxl | yikes that might be pushing it | 00:29 |
| wxl | you're trying 19.04 i'm assuming? | 00:30 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Yeah. I found some stuff that gave instructions for fooling an older version of the installer, but Calmar works different | 00:31 |
| wxl | oh it's even easier with cala | 00:31 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> I'm somewhat surprised I'm not seeing other distros that use less space too | 00:31 |
| wxl | if i remember correctly it's /etc/Calamares/modules/welcome.conf .. just edit the storage key or remove it from the required section | 00:32 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> requiredStorage | 00:33 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> ? | 00:33 |
| wxl | yep | 00:33 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Already had that file open, so that was a quick change! Now lemme try this... | 00:34 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Well, at some point I seem to have messed up my partition. Hrm. If I Create a partition, does it need a mount point? Any flags to set? | 00:36 |
| wxl | yeah mount it to / and give it boot | 00:37 |
| wxl | i presume you don't have uefi | 00:37 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Er, I'm gonna presume that too :D | 00:39 |
| wxl | let's see if you remember this | 00:39 |
| wxl | at the GRUB boot screen, did you have a memtest option? | 00:39 |
| wxl | or oooh better yet.. was it black, or stylized blue with the lubuntu logo? | 00:39 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Stylized blue | 00:39 |
| wxl | no uefi then, carry on | 00:39 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> I'm at 21% - unsquash filesystem. Looks promising. | 00:40 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> (it's a Asus eee pc 701 - the first one they made! It's tiny and kind of adorable. Good speakers too) | 00:42 |
| wxl | if it dies, it will be at the very end | 00:42 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Still at 21%. Much blinky light on the USB drive, so something is happening... | 00:43 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> 22%. So it's doing something. Slowly. Ooh 23%! Okay I'll quit spamming the channel and let you know when something concrete happens. :P | 00:48 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Installation Failed. … Failed to unpack image /cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs … rsync failed with error code 11. | 00:51 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Just plain not enough room? | 00:52 |
| wxl | how far did you get? | 00:52 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Not much further than that 23% I think | 00:52 |
| wxl | that sounds like not enough room but i'd expect it to have gotten farther assuming you used the full 3.8gib | 00:55 |
| wxl | did you check the iso hashes and check the disc for defects at the boot screen? | 00:55 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> No, lemme give that a shot | 00:55 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Forgot I had to forcepae, checking drive for errors with that flag now | 00:59 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> No errors found | 01:01 |
| wxl | yeah i've never tried to see whta it's like without the right amount of space, but it seems to give an unpackfs error | 01:01 |
| wxl | mine's a little more vague it seems | 01:01 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Drat | 01:02 |
| wxl | sorry | 01:02 |
| wxl | external hard drive? :) | 01:02 |
| wxl | anyways i'm out for the night. good luck! | 01:03 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> That would be kinda weird. Eh, I'll poke around at other alternatives. It previously had Windows XP, heh | 01:03 |
| lubot | <uniquecrash5> Cheers! | 01:04 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> @teward [<teward> i think wxl saw the message :P], You never know :) | 01:15 |
| hide_ | Anyone have a moment to spare? | 01:43 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> command !ask | 01:45 |
| hide_ | (First time in IRC bare with me please. ._.) | 01:46 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> np, just ask your question. | 01:46 |
| hide_ | I'm trying to figure out if the packages that's trying to auto-DL are an error of me not updating the lists or if they just never existed in the first place. | 01:47 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> more info please. | 01:47 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> what is trying to delete? | 01:48 |
| hide_ | I'm trying to install Japanese as a language, and it throws me this link with error 404 | 01:48 |
| hide_ | http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-5.7/libmysqlclient20_5.7.25-0ubuntu0.18.04.2_amd64.deb | 01:48 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> which update list do you mean? | 01:48 |
| hide_ | Under the languages, the GUI languages interface. | 01:48 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> thats for mysql | 01:48 |
| hide_ | That file doesn't exist in the repo but the one for 18.04.1 does. | 01:49 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> have you google your problem | 01:50 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> ? | 01:50 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> or ddg? | 01:50 |
| hide_ | In my viewpoint either it just didn't get added to the server under that name or somehow it got added under that name when Lubuntu 18.04.2 was packaged together which I highlt doubt. | 01:50 |
| hide_ | I know I can manually retrieve the 18.04.1 version and it'll work fine, but I'm trying to figure out why the link is broken by default. | 01:50 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> sorry, I really don't know | 01:51 |
| hide_ | If it was an oversight on cannonicals end or whomever overlooked it, it needs to be corrected. | 01:51 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> maybe some other can give you an answer | 01:51 |
| hide_ | It's allright, since it's cannonical's server I'll probably shoot them an email asking about it. | 01:52 |
| hide_ | Just wanted to see if it was an issue specific to Lubuntu before I went to them. | 01:52 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> not specific of lubuntu | 01:52 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> specific of lubuntu are DE related issues | 01:53 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> (desktop environment) | 01:53 |
| hide_ | Ye and I have had major issues there but that's besides the point rn. In case they ask if I checked for a specific Lubuntu issue, I can say it's not now. So you've still helped! (: | 01:54 |
| hide_ | (Also, by DL I meant Download, in case you were wondering... haha...) Good day to thee. (: | 01:55 |
| teward | @The_Loudspeaker Well, I tend to know because I nag wxl about things frequentlyheh | 02:21 |
| Sparky_ | Have a question if anyone can answer. But is there a way to install ubuntu onto an ASUS Transformer pad/laptop? It does use the Android OS. | 03:59 |
| panda_ | hi | 06:12 |
| panda_ | all | 06:12 |

| sappheiros | wxl: i don't understand what you mean "anything up the hierarchy from $HOME" -- do you mean to use nano to edit a configuration file, sudo is required? | 14:26 |
| sappheiros | if it's not within ~/home? | 14:27 |
| kc2bez | sappheiros: Anything contained in your home directory ($HOME, ~, /home/YOURUSERNAME) is owned by your user therefore you don't need elevated access to modify. | 14:31 |
| sappheiros | right, that's what i thought. thanks | 14:31 |
