[01:18] Hey guys I need some help with an Optiplex980 [01:19] I'm trying to install Xubuntu 19.10 and it keeps crashing during installation [01:19] I'm using a radeon 550 and an intel i5 [01:21] Optiplex980: Have you verified the install menium: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck ? [01:21] medium* [01:21] Im using the live boot menu right now [01:21] how would I verify the integrity of the medium? [01:22] Optiplex980: ^^ the boot menu's "check disk for defects" option. [01:23] it just boots to a "try xubuntu" or "install xubuntu" screen [01:26] Optiplex980: As soon as the bios screen clears A) MBR: hold any key; B) EFI: spam the escape key. [01:28] ok thanks! [01:41] I just verified the medium and it all checks out [01:41] I get an error when booting into safe graphics: [01:42] !nomodeset | Optiplex980 [01:42] Optiplex980: Systems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there. [01:42] drm:amdgpu_init *ERROR* VGACON disables AMD kernel modesetting [01:43] how would I add that during an installation? [01:44] Optiplex980: True that "nomodeset" disbales Kernel Mode Setting. We just need to know if you can boot with this parameter. [01:44] disables* [02:00] Live environment crashed before I could see responses [02:01] Anyone got a solution for VGACON disables amdgpu kernel modesetting [02:01] keep in mind despite this error the installation will still boot and lets me get all the way through to install before hanging === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [04:11] 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] 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] 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] might be easier to just reinstall [04:14] !install [04:14] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

When I plug it in, an Icon appeared on my Xfce4 desktop so I can browse my phone. [08:53] This is gone now, I do not know what did I to get this. [08:53] Theicon does not shown any more after I plug in my smartphone. [08:53] How can i solve this issue? [08:54] The icon.. [09:03] 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 - 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] astraljava: It is an Android phone. Currently there is no Operating System on this phone out there. [10:09] Bye! [10:19] I have no idea what was the outcome of those instructions. === Antoine is now known as Guest40282 [11:57] Hi, [11:58] 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] This process is long, and perhaps never will be completed. [11:59] What could be the problem here? [12:00] The ZIP file is 572704K big. [12:00] The uSD card is 8GB big. [12:03] 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] I tried to create a small text file on to this uSD card in mc and it works. [12:30] csanyipal: You can test the speeds with which the device can be operated on your system by issuing the command `sudo hdparm -t /dev/`. [12:31] 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] astraljava: Thank you! [12:37] np :) [12:54] The 'sudo hdparm -t /dev/disk/by-uuid/45DF-1A18' command also hang for a long time.. [12:54] This is that uSD card. [12:55] on which the copy process keep for a while. [13:00] I can't interrupt it (the hdparm command above) even with Ctrl+C. [13:08] csanyipal: You may need to resort to terminating or killing the process, instructions to such can be found: https://bit.ly/2SEO4Go [13:59] astraljava: Thanks! [13:59] Bye! [14:06] Hi again, I thought to say goodbye. But, the 'sudo apt autoremove' command stuck at 28%: [14:06] Haladás: [ 28%] [###################################......... [14:06] I think the cause of this is somehow the copy process to the uSD card. [14:46] csanyipal: maybe the sd card is broken? how old is it, how often do you use it? [14:46] which specification / class is it? [14:48] 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] tomreyn: The SD card is not broken, because I just used it in my smartphone. [15:37] It is a Kingstone 8GB card. I do not know it's Class. [15:38] 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] 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] Does anyone have a clue on what could be happening? [15:58] 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] a731, issues with 20.04 are addressed in #ubuntu+1 [15:59] oh. [15:59] * lighterowl hides in the corner. [16:16] 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] sorry for the late reply, too [16:55] tomreyn: Indeed, there is an error: [16:55] mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 10659792, nr 1024, cmd response 0x900, card status 0xc00 [16:55] mmc0: sdhci: ADMA Err: 0x00000001 | ADMA Ptr: 0x000000023d8df200 [16:56] Sorry for the late reply. [17:17] csanyipal: so this suggests a media error. [17:19] 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] tomreyn: Thank you for the explanation and for the help! [20:08] Hi all, I am running into some trouble booting the Ubuntu after installing it in dual mode... [20:09] I have tried so many things but it keeps booting back into windows... [20:09] would anyone be able to support? i tried most of the answers on the net without any success [20:13] Newbie64, what you tried? and what PC and what OSes you dual boot? [20:17] is it possible to install a fresh installation of xubuntu with ssh enabled [20:18] I know rasbian has this feature with Rpi3, but not sure if this exist for xubuntu [20:30] sorry got disconnected [20:30] 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] hi [20:46] hello All [21:06] hi bill_ === monkeystance_ is now known as monkeystance [23:13] Hi, is anyone here? [23:14] I'm here. [23:15] Hi, I have a little problem that I don't know how to solve [23:16] Mostly because I'm kind of a newbie on Xubuntu haha [23:16] okay. what's the problem? [23:16] So, I installed Nautilus since I tested Ubuntu before and I really liked the file manager [23:17] 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] 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] sorry, I don't use Thunar. :( [23:19] I mean Nautilus. [23:19] :/ [23:19] !info exo-utils [23:19] exo-utils (source: exo): Utility files for libexo. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 44 kB, installed size 161 kB [23:20] what is that? [23:20] https://askubuntu.com/questions/74534/set-nautilus-as-default-file-manager-in-xubuntu [23:20] ..what you need to follow the directions on the site just posted [23:24] 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] thanks, i'll try the link's instructions [23:26] the problem is that a double click on a file in Nautilus does not open it? [23:26] yup [23:26] pdf files ex. [23:27] never seen that happen [23:27] I have to click the 2nd mouse button, then Open with..., then select Atril, then Done [23:28] assuming that you have a pdf viewer set as default app for pdf files [23:28] And just THEN it opens [23:28] It's selected as default [23:29] It opens just right on Thunar [23:30] right. that's odd. [23:32] kuroiokami1: bug 1778069 [23:32] bug 1778069 in exo (Ubuntu) "[xfce] nautilus don't open files if set as default file manager" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1778069 [23:33] that's something that also happens [23:34] do i have to update my xubuntu? [23:34] or something?? [23:35] maybe [23:35] the linked bug is not fixed in 18.04 [23:35] but you can easily fix it [23:35] if you read through the comments [23:37] there's something weird about this that I don't know why happens too [23:37] When I open Nautilus on a terminal as sudo, it runs flawlessly [23:37] It even shows my 2nd partition (Win10, may delete later) [23:38] and my /home/ partition too [23:38] could be that it reads different settings when you run it with sudo [23:38] maybe [23:39] in comment #8 I explain why the bug happens [23:39] yeah, I already forgot about the bug and had to google it :)
