[01:18] <Optiplex980> Hey guys I need some help with an Optiplex980
[01:19] <Optiplex980> I'm trying to install Xubuntu 19.10 and it keeps crashing during installation
[01:19] <Optiplex980> I'm using a radeon 550 and an intel i5
[01:21] <Bashing-om> Optiplex980: Have you verified the install menium: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck ?
[01:21] <Bashing-om> medium*
[01:21] <Optiplex980> Im using the live boot menu right now
[01:21] <Optiplex980> how would I verify the integrity of the medium?
[01:22] <Bashing-om> Optiplex980: ^^ the boot menu's "check disk for defects" option.
[01:23] <Optiplex980> it just boots to a "try xubuntu" or "install xubuntu" screen
[01:26] <Bashing-om> Optiplex980: As soon as the bios screen clears A) MBR: hold any key; B) EFI: spam the escape key.
[01:28] <Optiplex980> ok thanks!
[01:41] <Optiplex980> I just verified the medium and it all checks out
[01:41] <Optiplex980> I get an error when booting into safe graphics:
[01:42] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | Optiplex980
[01:42] <Optiplex980> drm:amdgpu_init *ERROR* VGACON disables AMD kernel modesetting
[01:43] <Optiplex980> how would I add that during an installation?
[01:44] <Bashing-om> Optiplex980: True that "nomodeset" disbales Kernel Mode Setting. We just need to know if you can boot with this parameter.
[01:44] <Bashing-om> disables*
[02:00] <Optiplex980> Live environment crashed before I could see responses
[02:01] <Optiplex980> Anyone got a solution for VGACON disables amdgpu kernel modesetting
[02:01] <Optiplex980> keep in mind despite this error the installation will still boot and lets me get all the way through to install before hanging
[04:11] <SirRoach> I am brand spanking new to linux. I recently received a pc with Xubutu. As I received this pc thru a local Goodwill I am unable to contact the former owner. While I have figured out how to open it to the desktop I find my access to be limited. I am unable to install anything such as updates without being promoted for a password to do so. While I am
[04:11] <SirRoach> surprised as a novice I was able to backdoor the initial sec protocol I am not able to bypass this. It three any way I can reset the system to default??
[04:14] <well_laid_lawn> part of the install process is to set a name and password for a user with admin rights. There is no defauult where passwords aren't needed to install software
[04:14] <well_laid_lawn> might be easier to just reinstall
[04:14] <well_laid_lawn> !install
[04:15] <well_laid_lawn> SirRoach:  ↑
[08:51] <csanyipal> Hi,
[08:52] <csanyipal> Hi,
[08:53] <csanyipal> The day before yesterday still worked. It is my smartphone. When I plug it in, an Icon appeared on my Xfce4 desktop so I can browse my phone.
[08:53] <csanyipal> This is gone now, I do not know what did I to get this.
[08:53] <csanyipal> Theicon does not shown any more after I plug in my smartphone.
[08:53] <csanyipal> How can i solve this issue?
[08:54] <csanyipal> The icon..
[09:03] <astraljava> csanyipal: Is it an Android phone? If yes, can you check what it says on the phone, if you pull down the top bar and tap on "Android System - <something> USB", it should ask again for you to tap on it and once you do, present a list where one option is "File Transfer".
[09:44] <csanyipal> astraljava: It is an Android phone. Currently there is no Operating System on this phone out there.
[10:09] <csanyipal> Bye!
[10:19] <astraljava> I have no idea what was the outcome of those instructions.
[11:57] <csanyipal> Hi,
[11:58] <csanyipal> on my laptop I am using a card reader. I put into it a micro SD card and am trying to write on to it a ZIP file.
[11:59] <csanyipal> This process is long, and perhaps never will be completed.
[11:59] <csanyipal> What could be the problem here?
[12:00] <csanyipal> The ZIP file is 572704K big.
[12:00] <csanyipal> The uSD card is 8GB big.
[12:03] <csanyipal> If I start copy this file in the Midnight Commander, then if I try to open the uSD Card in Thunar, it is very slow, and never opens the uSD Card.
[12:05] <csanyipal> I tried to create a small text file on to this uSD card in mc and it works.
[12:30] <astraljava> csanyipal: You can test the speeds with which the device can be operated on your system by issuing the command `sudo hdparm -t /dev/<SDcardDevice>`.
[12:31] <astraljava> From there you can calculate roughly just how long it would take for a nearly 6GB file to be written. Mind you, those figures will be for reading. Usually, although with these kinds of media I'm not 100% sure, writing is even slower.
[12:34] <csanyipal> astraljava: Thank you!
[12:37] <astraljava> np :)
[12:54] <csanyipal> The 'sudo hdparm -t /dev/disk/by-uuid/45DF-1A18' command also hang for a long time..
[12:54] <csanyipal> This is that uSD card.
[12:55] <csanyipal> on which the copy process keep for a while.
[13:00] <csanyipal> I can't interrupt it (the hdparm command above) even with Ctrl+C.
[13:08] <astraljava> csanyipal: You may need to resort to terminating or killing the process, instructions to such can be found: https://bit.ly/2SEO4Go
[13:59] <csanyipal> astraljava: Thanks!
[13:59] <csanyipal> Bye!
[14:06] <csanyipal> Hi again, I thought to say goodbye. But, the 'sudo apt autoremove' command stuck at 28%:
[14:06] <csanyipal> Haladás: [ 28%] [###################################.........
[14:06] <csanyipal> I think the cause of this is somehow the copy process to the uSD card.
[14:46] <tomreyn> csanyipal: maybe the sd card is broken? how old is it, how often do you use it?
[14:46] <tomreyn> which specification / class is it?
[14:48] <tomreyn> how is ti connected to your computer, directly by an installed sd card reader or by means of an external, usb connected, sd card reader?
[15:36] <csanyipal> tomreyn: The SD card is not broken, because I just used it in my smartphone.
[15:37] <csanyipal> It is a Kingstone 8GB card. I do not know it's Class.
[15:38] <csanyipal> It is connected to my laptop through laptop's Card reader: the laptops Card reader - a Samsung micro SD card adapter which fits in to laptop's card reader - and the Kingstone uSD card.
[15:54] <a731> I am having opposite day issues. I installed Xubuntu 20.04 on my 2008 imac, and after adding working wifi drivers and rebooting the ethernet won't work
[15:54] <a731> Does anyone have a clue on what could be happening?
[15:58] <lighterowl> what do you mean by "doesn't work"? does the interface not appear anymore at all? is the carrier not detected, perhaps? are there any kernel messages related to the card?
[15:58] <diogenes_> a731, issues with 20.04 are addressed in #ubuntu+1
[15:59] <lighterowl> oh.
[15:59]  * lighterowl hides in the corner.
[16:16] <tomreyn> csanyipal: okay, maybe it's just a problem with the adapter or the card readeron your laptop then. :-/ did oyu check what's reported by "journalctl -f" (or "dmesg -w")?
[16:16] <tomreyn> sorry for the late reply, too
[16:55] <csanyipal> tomreyn: Indeed, there is an error:
[16:55] <csanyipal> mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 10659792, nr 1024, cmd response 0x900, card status 0xc00
[16:55] <csanyipal> mmc0: sdhci: ADMA Err:  0x00000001 | ADMA Ptr: 0x000000023d8df200
[16:56] <csanyipal> Sorry for the late reply.
[17:17] <tomreyn> csanyipal: so this suggests a media error.
[17:19] <tomreyn> csanyipal: it could also be with the reader / writer / adapter, though, this is not easily diagnosed unless you can cross test with another card which is the same product / same specifications.
[17:24] <csanyipal> tomreyn: Thank you for the explanation and for the help!
[20:08] <Newbie64> Hi all, I am running into some trouble booting the Ubuntu after installing it in dual mode...
[20:09] <Newbie64> I have tried so many things but it keeps booting back into windows...
[20:09] <Newbie64> would anyone be able to support? i tried most of the answers on the net without any success
[20:13] <diogenes_> Newbie64, what you tried? and what PC and what OSes you dual boot?
[20:17] <xubuntu39w> is it possible to install a fresh installation of xubuntu with ssh enabled
[20:18] <xubuntu39w> I know rasbian has this feature with Rpi3, but not sure if this exist for xubuntu
[20:30] <Newbie21> sorry got disconnected
[20:30] <Newbie21> hi DiogenesI have a lenovo 720S and installed Xubuntu 18.04my laptop has windows 10 nowand when I choose to boot in Xubuntu, it always boots into windows...even if i select it after pressing F12I am currently reinstalling it for the 3rd time  on EFIusing EFIeverything installed correctly
[20:33] <Newbie21> hi
[20:46] <bill_> hello All
[21:06] <lighterowl> hi bill_
[23:13] <kuroiokami1> Hi, is anyone here?
[23:14] <lighterowl> I'm here.
[23:15] <kuroiokami1> Hi, I have a little problem that I don't know how to solve
[23:16] <kuroiokami1> Mostly because I'm kind of a newbie on Xubuntu haha
[23:16] <lighterowl> okay. what's the problem?
[23:16] <kuroiokami1> So, I installed Nautilus since I tested Ubuntu before and I really liked the file manager
[23:17] <kuroiokami1> But now, when I try to open some files like PDFs or PNGs I need to click on "Open with" and then it will open
[23:19] <kuroiokami1> Also, when I download JAR files (4 ex), I need to set it to executable if I want to open them with OpenJDK, even when I open the files on Thunar
[23:19] <lighterowl> sorry, I don't use Thunar. :(
[23:19] <lighterowl> I mean Nautilus.
[23:19] <kuroiokami1> :/
[23:19] <genii> !info exo-utils
[23:20] <kuroiokami1> what is that?
[23:20] <genii> https://askubuntu.com/questions/74534/set-nautilus-as-default-file-manager-in-xubuntu
[23:20] <genii> ..what you need to follow the directions on the site just posted
[23:24] <genii> If you don't use Thunar for anything at all, you can even just uninstall it. It will say it is also uninstalling xubuntu-desktop, but that doesn't actually remove any other applications
[23:26] <kuroiokami1> thanks, i'll try the link's instructions
[23:26] <brainwash> the problem is that a double click on a file in Nautilus does not open it?
[23:26] <kuroiokami1> yup
[23:26] <kuroiokami1> pdf files ex.
[23:27] <brainwash> never seen that happen
[23:27] <kuroiokami1> I have to click the 2nd mouse button, then Open with..., then select Atril, then Done
[23:28] <brainwash> assuming that you have a pdf viewer set as default app for pdf files
[23:28] <kuroiokami1> And just THEN it opens
[23:28] <kuroiokami1> It's selected as default
[23:29] <kuroiokami1> It opens just right on Thunar
[23:30] <brainwash> right. that's odd.
[23:32] <brainwash> kuroiokami1: bug 1778069
[23:33] <kuroiokami1> that's something that also happens
[23:34] <kuroiokami1> do i have to update my xubuntu?
[23:34] <kuroiokami1> or something??
[23:35] <brainwash> maybe
[23:35] <brainwash> the linked bug is not fixed in 18.04
[23:35] <brainwash> but you can easily fix it
[23:35] <brainwash> if you read through the comments
[23:37] <kuroiokami1> there's something weird about this that I don't know why happens too
[23:37] <kuroiokami1> When I open Nautilus on a terminal as sudo, it runs flawlessly
[23:37] <kuroiokami1> It even shows my 2nd partition (Win10, may delete later)
[23:38] <kuroiokami1> and my /home/ partition too
[23:38] <brainwash> could be that it reads different settings when you run it with sudo
[23:38] <kuroiokami1> maybe
[23:39] <brainwash> in comment #8 I explain why the bug happens
[23:39] <brainwash> yeah, I already forgot about the bug and had to google it :)
