[00:27] <Kalov> i use xubuntu too!
[06:30] <ministeric> Hello
[06:31] <ministeric> I'am currently running xubuntu. I need to create an installation usb
[06:31] <ministeric> And for some reason that escapes me right now, I've failed miserably
[06:32] <well_laid_lawn> !usb
[06:38] <ministeric> I did use the mkusb tool. But I did not do the gparted instruction.
[06:39] <ministeric> "Locale not supported" that's what fparted is telling me. ;(
[06:39] <well_laid_lawn> there are instructions on the net for using dd - which I find easier
[06:39] <ministeric> I understand my good friend
[06:39] <ministeric> I've used dd before to do just this
[06:40] <well_laid_lawn> https://www.linux.com/tutorials/how-burn-iso-usb-drive/
[06:40] <ministeric> however tell me something, when I use the "of" argument shoudl I direct it to the actual device like "/dev/sdb" for instance or to a partition llike /dev/sdb1
[06:41] <ministeric> in that case what should sdb1 be, what kind of partition?
[06:41] <well_laid_lawn> never a partition just the device - so /dev
[06:41] <well_laid_lawn> sdb
[06:41] <well_laid_lawn> never a partition just the device - so /dev/sdb
[06:41] <well_laid_lawn> you will lose all data on the device
[06:43] <diogenes_> nowadays you can use cp: sudo cp xubuntu.iso /dev/sdx
[06:43] <well_laid_lawn> the world is always evolving
[06:43] <well_laid_lawn> ;)
[06:45] <diogenes_> or even gnome-disk-utility > restore disk image
[06:46] <ministeric> Yiou, trust me I'm not taking you guys for granted. I've tried some of these options.  "Startup Disk Creater", mkusb, "rufus" in windows. Im even wondering if it is possible I messed the usb drive '=D
[06:47] <ministeric> The funny part about all this is that I'm currently running xubuntu :')
[06:48] <ministeric> unbootin does not even start, maybe I can run it from the terminal and see the error
[06:48] <ministeric> Anyways, is it possible to mess a usb pen drive?
[06:48] <diogenes_> win32imagewriter is recommended for windows.
[06:49] <diogenes_> unetbootin has never worked for me.
[06:50] <ministeric> put me in that list, because it just didnt work for me out of the box
[06:50] <diogenes_> and it's possible that thumbdrive is broken.
[06:51] <ministeric> win32imagewriter I'll try this I have a windows virtualized
[06:51] <ministeric> Yes I am afraid I broke the drive
[06:51] <ministeric> '=(
[06:51] <well_laid_lawn> then nothing will write to it properly
[06:52] <ministeric> That's why I ask if that is even possible? because I just used that drive to install windows.
[06:52] <diogenes_> try to low level format it.
[06:52] <ministeric> how can i do that?\
[06:53] <well_laid_lawn> https://www.maketecheasier.com/repair-corrupted-usb-drive-linux/
[06:53] <diogenes_> or keep it in the freezer one night :)
[06:53] <ministeric> hahahaha
[06:54] <ministeric> well_laid_lawn I just did this one: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
[06:55] <well_laid_lawn> did you do the fsck first to check ?
[06:57] <diogenes_> another way is to find the firmware tool for your pendrive and erase & update but that's on windows only.
[06:58] <ministeric> well_laid_lawn fsck  /dev/sdb said something about bad magic number and super block can not be read
[06:59] <well_laid_lawn> so it has a bad block
[07:01] <well_laid_lawn> and you zeroed it - might as well just try to write the iso now
[07:02] <ministeric> nice
[07:03] <ministeric> so dd if=myiso.iso of=/dev/sdb  ?
[07:03] <ministeric> Or do I need to create a partion or something ?
[07:09] <well_laid_lawn> no just if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdb
[08:35] <EvaristeGalois> why isn't it possible to change mouse scroll speed in ubuntu?N
[12:19] <someone235> Hi, I want to cancel the Super+Arrow behaviour. Someone knows how to do it?
[13:20] <diogenes_> someone235, what is super+arrow doing?
[16:14] <xubuntu99w> tengo un problema serio desde hace tiempo mi computadora no inicia como debe el sistema operativo inicia tan lento que no me deja hacer nada tarda casi como media hora para iniciar  y cuando logro iniciar sesion no me deja hacer nada se queda como si estuviera cargando muchas cosas cuando nisiquiera e tocado nada
[16:18] <tomreyn> !es | xubuntu99w
[18:45] <xubuntu64w> how do i uninstall xubuntu
[18:50] <Kalov> xubuntu0w: really?
[18:50] <Kalov> why would you do that
[18:50] <Kalov> go and install xubuntu in all devices you can!
[20:01] <sorinello> hello. Anyone have any experience with HDMI flickering monitor ? Running latest Xubuntu but form time to time the monitor flickers, but I don't know exactly what the problem is, because looking on the internet, everything looks normal.
[20:01] <sorinello> cold someone give me some pointers ? I have tried running xrandr, resolution is full HD @60Hz
[20:01] <sorinello> yet from time to time, the image flickers
[20:02] <sorinello> tested with 2 cables, does not happen on Windows (same macihne, dual boot)
[20:03] <diogenes_> sorinello, what gpu?
[20:04] <sorinello> intel hd 620. Thinkpad T570
[21:11] <ElevenEnamelAnim> I'm having difficulty in setting a 4K display with NVIDIA GF106 display. Can anyone help me - the display is 4K and is running 1024x768.
[21:16] <ElevenEnamelAnim> It was running fine. It's that 1024x768 mode. It's a Philips BDM4037U, FWIW.
[21:34] <ElevenEnamelAnim> I'm having difficulty in setting a 4K display with NVIDIA 106 display. Can anyone help me - the display is 4K and is running 1024x768. It was running fine. It's a Philips BDM4037U, FWIW.
[21:38] <ElevenEnamelAnim> I can run inxi -G to determine the graphic mode (it's 1024x768
[21:45] <krytarik> ElevenEnamelAnim: Maybe you are better off in the main #ubuntu channel with this, since it's a general graphics issue.
[21:50] <ElevenEnamelAnim> I can run inxi -G to determine the graphic mode (it's 1024x768). Also has Resolution: 1024x768@76.00hz and OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 9.0, 128 bits)
[21:55] <ElevenEnamelAnim> I was wondering if there was any way to set/specify the graphic mode in XFCE.
[21:57] <tomreyn> llvmpipe is likely software rendering, probably due to VESA (failsafe graphics) mode, probably because the nvidia proprietary driver didn't initialize correctly.
[21:58] <tomreyn> see the X or wayland initialization log in your systemd journal
[21:59] <tomreyn> if you're using Xorg (default configuration) you'll also find this log at /home/$USER/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
[22:07] <ElevenEnamelAnim> I have /home/$
[22:12] <ElevenEnamelAnim> I don't have any /home/$USER/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log I have /home/$USER/.local/share/xfce4 instead.
[22:30] <ElevenEnamalA> I'm reiterating the request under my name (I got lost a while).
[22:34] <ElevenEnamalA> I have a problem getting 4K on a 4K-capable device (a Philips BDM4037U). It says 1024x768.
[22:45] <Kalov> sorry ElevenEnamalA if i knew i would help you
