| CDSmith | hey folks … having an issue installing | 04:13 |
|---|---|---|
| CDSmith | installer gets to "Installing bootloader" and freezes around 81%\ | 04:13 |
| CDSmith | after while goes thru and then errors out | 04:13 |
| wxl | did you check the hashes of the iso? | 04:14 |
| wxl | and check the installation media for efects? | 04:14 |
| CDSmith | no sorry …. checking now | 04:15 |
| CDSmith | 8b8b03366298e7489df6bc34760f89aa | 04:15 |
| wxl | since i have no idea what version you're talking about that means little | 04:15 |
| CDSmith | 19.10 | 04:15 |
| CDSmith | going to try 18.04 | 04:18 |
| wxl | that is good | 04:18 |
| wxl | did you check the installation media? | 04:18 |
| CDSmith | yeah... its good | 04:18 |
| wxl | what's the error then? | 04:18 |
| CDSmith | long error message … will try 18.04 and come back …. | 04:19 |
| wxl | i wouldn't suggest 18.04 | 04:19 |
| CDSmith | I have since closed the message | 04:19 |
| CDSmith | ??? | 04:20 |
| wxl | support ends relatively shortly and the transition to 20.04 will not be easy | 04:20 |
| CDSmith | is there a better distro ? | 04:20 |
| wxl | we don't support upgrades from 18.04 to anything and would suggest a fresh install | 04:20 |
| wxl | there's a perfect option: 19.10 | 04:20 |
| CDSmith | can I upgrade from 18.04 to 19.10 ? | 04:21 |
| CDSmith | nvm … read above | 04:21 |
| wxl | the same way we'd suggest upgrading 18.04 to anything: a fresh install | 04:21 |
| CDSmith | hmmm …. | 04:22 |
| CDSmith | I am using Rufus to load the install to a bootable thumb drive | 04:23 |
| wxl | i've not heard of this error you're talking about so something's not right, which i'm sure will become apparent with the actual error message | 04:23 |
| wxl | oh man yeah i've seen things not work right with rufus | 04:23 |
| wxl | how did you check the install media for defects? | 04:23 |
| CDSmith | i'm not great with the technical side of this just yet.... | 04:24 |
| wxl | well when you boot it there's a "check disc for defects option" | 04:24 |
| wxl | do that. you probably have a copy error (i.e. blame rufus) | 04:24 |
| CDSmith | is there a better option to rufus ? | 04:24 |
| wxl | i don't use windows, so can't tell you :/ | 04:25 |
| CDSmith | trying with different media creation tool | 04:40 |
| CDSmith | Universal UBS installer | 04:40 |
| wxl | make sure to do that "check disc for defects" thing | 04:40 |
| CDSmith | on it now | 04:41 |
| CDSmith | no errors found | 04:41 |
| wxl | ok give it another shot | 04:42 |
| CDSmith | filling up file systems | 04:46 |
| wxl | ? | 04:46 |
| CDSmith | part of the install | 04:47 |
| CDSmith | 20% | 04:47 |
| lubot | <tbs61> try balena etcher | 04:50 |
| lubot | <tbs61> to create bootable usb | 04:50 |
| lubot | <tbs61> and i dont have problem with installing lubuntu but i had smilar problem with kubuntu | 04:51 |
| CDSmith | 81% currently …. this is where it stalls for a few minutes | 04:52 |
| CDSmith | "Install bootloader" | 04:52 |
| lubot | <tbs61> yeah, i understand u, i had smilar error with kubuntu and tried 3-4 times... | 04:53 |
| lubot | <tbs61> well, u can try balena etcher before next trying if u want :) | 04:54 |
| wxl | that's not the issue | 04:54 |
| wxl | is it dead? | 04:54 |
| lubot | <tbs61> what u mean by dead? | 04:55 |
| wxl | i'm asking CDSmith | 04:55 |
| CDSmith | its not "dead" but its not doing anything currently either | 04:56 |
| CDSmith | doing the install.... eventually gives error message | 04:56 |
| wxl | give it some time | 04:56 |
| CDSmith | still at 81% | 04:57 |
| CDSmith | 6 minutes now at 81%..... | 04:58 |
| lubot | <tbs61> it s just there but u dont get error? | 04:59 |
| CDSmith | no error yet | 04:59 |
| lubot | <tbs61> ahh, u should wait :D maybe ur harddisk is slow | 05:00 |
| CDSmith | 90% now | 05:01 |
| CDSmith | error | 05:01 |
| wxl | so what is the exact error? | 05:01 |
| CDSmith | boost.Python error in job "packages". | 05:01 |
| wxl | the whole error | 05:02 |
| CDSmith | one sec | 05:02 |
| CDSmith | tried to copy and paste and it didn't work …. | 05:11 |

| guiverc | !pastebinit CDSmith | 05:32 |
| guiverc | please use pastebinit CDSmith | 05:33 |
| wxl | wth | 05:33 |
| guiverc | !pastebinit | 05:33 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit | 05:33 |
| wxl | why on earth are they not installed? | 05:33 |
| wxl | there should be a log at ~/.cache/calamares/session.log | 05:34 |
| wxl | you can open a terminal and `pastebinit -i ~/.cache/calamares/session.log` and share the resulting uri here | 05:34 |
| CDSmith | not sure where to see that log | 05:37 |
| CDSmith | I am looking now | 05:37 |
| wxl | just open a terminal and enter the command and it will do the rest | 05:37 |
| CDSmith | permission denied | 05:38 |
| wxl | uh | 05:39 |
| lubot | <tbs61> root | 05:39 |
| wxl | are you sure you typed it right? | 05:39 |
| CDSmith | yeah … checked twice permission denied at root.... this is off the thumb drive remember | 05:39 |
| wxl | wait a minute | 05:41 |
| wxl | you pulled the usb and put it in somewhere else? | 05:41 |
| CDSmith | I entered the command … no result yet | 05:43 |
| CDSmith | no uri | 05:43 |
| wxl | i literally just did this | 05:44 |
| CDSmith | its working but its not going | 05:44 |
| wxl | it takes a few seconds | 05:44 |
| wxl | but no more than 10 | 05:45 |
| CDSmith | just gives me a blank space underneath the command I entered | 05:45 |
| wxl | are you SURE you checked the disc for errors? | 05:47 |
| CDSmith | got it | 05:47 |
| CDSmith | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HNwJM5rytm/ | 05:48 |
| CDSmith | have to head to bed.... will be back at this tomorrow …. I will leave myself logged in here until then | 05:51 |

| trucker | i want to make a lubuntu boot disk with the pre-installed utility from lubuntu "boot disk make" but i can't see my dvd+rw disc that i haven put in my machine | 10:34 |
| guiverc | trucker, the lubuntu manual (https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.2/booting_the_image.html) has a link on burning a dvd from ubuntu, refer https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-burn-a-dvd-on-ubuntu#1-getting-started (You didn't specify a version of Lubuntu, the manual page I gave was for latest 19.10) | 11:17 |
| trucker | @guiverc, i have read the manuals and i have found the problem. the tool i use Startup Disk Creator can only make live usb stick and not live dvd's i will install Brasero and try that | 11:26 |
| guiverc | :) | 11:29 |
| trucker | the iso is now burning on the disc | 11:30 |

| CDSmith | anyone have any ideas on this failed install ???? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HNwJM5rytm/ | 18:28 |
| CDSmith | does it matter if the install medium is NTFS or FAT32 | 18:30 |

| ubottu | Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation.

| CDSmith | replaced the HDD and it installed without issue.... thanks to those that assisted me with this | 21:32 |
| wxl | so what was the problem? | 21:32 |
| CDSmith | the HDD in the old PC | 21:32 |
| CDSmith | once I change the HDD it worked like a charm | 21:32 |
| lubot | <tbs61> ahh | 21:32 |
| wxl | oh yeah i forgot to explain linux can't fix broken X''''D | 21:32 |
| lubot | <tbs61> did u try uefi install? | 21:33 |
| CDSmith | haha for sure | 21:33 |
| CDSmith | yes I did … and the system still wouldn't install all the way... kept getting error | 21:33 |
| CDSmith | think the drive was corrupt | 21:33 |
| lubot | <tbs61> if its about drive, maybe u should have format ur drive to gpt first... | 21:33 |
| CDSmith | possibly... either way the new drive has about 420 GB more space.... lol | 21:34 |
| lubot | <tbs61> when i first try to install linux, that was the problem i couldnt understand and make me reinstall 20 times... | 21:34 |
| CDSmith | currently updating the install | 21:35 |
| lubot | <tbs61> glad to hear u could install really | 21:35 |
| lubot | <tbs61> i also like lubuntu | 21:35 |
| lubot | <tbs61> are you new at linux or? | 21:35 |
| CDSmith | just had an old PC that really needed a lighter OS in it.... | 21:36 |
| CDSmith | new to Linux | 21:36 |
| CDSmith | might turn into a new plex server here | 21:36 |
| CDSmith | any suggestions ? | 21:37 |
| lubot | <tbs61> there s one suggestion from me cuz it was helpfull, if u want set some apparance things to lubuntu first try its menu for that but also check pling app, u need to find lxqt in its menu for themes ofc | 21:37 |
| lubot | <tbs61> ahh, there s another suggestion :D if u want format usb, install mintstick, i also like "ice" app for seperate browsers | 21:39 |
| lubot | <tbs61> also if u want transparent panel u need to active "compton" from settings, i like it. | 21:41 |
| lubot | <tbs61> that s all for now :D | 21:41 |

| CDSmith | hahaha for sure | 22:15 |
| david__ | hi | 22:19 |
| wxl | hey | 22:20 |
| david__ | Lubuntu works Fine | 22:21 |
| wxl | horray! | 22:22 |
| david__ | But I have had problems with Nvidia drivers and I wonder why Linux allows Nvidia I find if there is a 64 dpi 1360X768 resolution problem after a proprother driver installation. then after the Nvidia graphics driver installation everything is terribly small. Why Nvidia is not prohibited | 22:42 |
| david__ | Greetings David | 22:42 |
| david__ | opensorce graphics driver goes great | 22:42 |
| wxl | david__: i agree with you but there's a bunch of folks that do not, especially given that with nvidia a lot of features are not revealed with the reverse engineered open source driver. for gamers or others making heavy use of their gpu, this becomes a concern. | 22:47 |

| MasterKing | Hey!!! Can I install Lubuntu on a 8GB thumb drive? | 22:56 |
| CDSmith | how do i get gnome working in lubuntu ??? I installed the extension for chrome | 22:58 |
| CDSmith | and some misc. other commands in the terminal | 22:59 |
| CDSmith | or how do i open it in my system ? | 22:59 |
| wxl | so let me get this straight, you typed a bunch of random stuff and it's not working? XD | 23:00 |
| kc2bez | Gnome extensions will only work in Gnome. | 23:01 |
| CDSmith | ok ... take it easy on the new guy | 23:01 |
| CDSmith | lol | 23:01 |
| wxl | heheheh | 23:01 |
| wxl | it's always best to approach any problem from the perspective of what you're trying to accomplish | 23:01 |
| CDSmith | lets say I am trying to install Dash-toDock | 23:01 |
| wxl | yeah that's for gnome and so if you want that you get alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll of the bloated gnome desktop to go with it | 23:02 |
| wxl | at that point, you might as well just use ubuntu | 23:02 |
| CDSmith | its gives me a .ZIP file and I dont know what to do with it | 23:02 |
| kc2bez | We don't have a dash so you can't dock it. | 23:02 |
| CDSmith | see .... there we go.... | 23:03 |
| CDSmith | lol | 23:03 |
| wxl | but | 23:03 |
| CDSmith | I didnt know that .... baby steps here | 23:03 |
| wxl | there are docks out there | 23:03 |
| kc2bez | MasterKing: you might want to look at mkusb https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/persistent | 23:03 |
| MasterKing | I know how to install it; I want to know if it fits on a 8GB drive | 23:04 |
| kc2bez | I think it should, you may be a bit tight on extra storage but the base system will fit. | 23:05 |
| CDSmith | I was basically looking at a " just intalled lubuntu... here are 20 things you should do..." | 23:06 |
| MasterKing | ok thanks; i'll give it a try then | 23:06 |
| kc2bez | I might be the wrong person to ask :P CDSmith I don't really do much. | 23:07 |
| CDSmith | no worries .... I guess I am looking for guidance on how to work with lubuntu at an entry level ... want it to function like a PC but obviously with a little more of a challenge | 23:09 |
| kc2bez | CDSmith: if you are looking for a dock a few come to mind. Cairo, docky, plank, and latte dock all come to mind. | 23:10 |
| wxl | https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/kdocker ? | 23:10 |
| kc2bez | TIL ^ | 23:11 |
| CDSmith | i just dont know how to install them I guess.... I am a quick learner ... | 23:11 |
| kc2bez | If they are in the repo you can find them and install them using muon or discover. | 23:12 |
| kc2bez | Our manual has some on using them https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/4/Installing_Updating_and_Removing_Software.html | 23:13 |
| david__ | OK I know that you have to edit the script xsetup to get it to work, but I'm thinking of a new syncronization script or program that automatically fixes this problem. I know that it means a lot of work for Linux, but it would get around that Linux developers would try to do it Fix small bugs at KDE, XFCE, Lubuntu | 23:17 |
| david__ | the modified xsetup script has to look like this xrandr --64 dpi then the picture looks good again. | 23:17 |
| david__ | Otherwise, I really don't see anything under Linux. You get a lot more freedom than under Windows. I've been away from Windows for 2 years. I don't regret it. | 23:17 |
| david__ | Very good work | 23:17 |
