| Peruvianewbie | Hello, is this the right place to make specific questions about my failed xubuntu installation process? | 02:45 |
| jdwwatts | i got my start here butdon't know much | 02:46 |
| Peruvianewbie | So do people regularly ask stuff and help each other? Is information sharing secure' | 02:48 |
| jdwwatts | I got help here but the other websites have plenty of instuction I do konw this is like a public place you as forsecurity i wouln,t know | 02:50 |
| jdwwatts | what have you tried so far ? | 02:52 |
| Peruvianewbie | Thanks jdwwatts! I've looked for answers to problems similar to mine on stackoverflow and similar forums, but haven't found an answer to fix my problem | 02:53 |
| Peruvianewbie | i'm trying to fully install xubuntu from a bootable usb | 02:54 |
| genii | Uusually the solution to an issue does does require the helper to know any kind of information which might be considered insecure. But the channel here is public, and logged so just use good sense and don't make public here any information which is not required | 02:54 |
| jdwwatts | So What is yourproblem | 02:54 |
| Peruvianewbie | Thanks genii, then I'll go ahead and explain it all | 02:54 |
| Peruvianewbie | So here it is: | 02:54 |
| Peruvianewbie | I've tried to install xubuntu (latest version 20.04) from a bootable USB (created using RUFUS, latest version as of today as well). After creating the Boot drive I used the BIOS configurations to set the iso-USB as first booting option. | 02:57 |
| Peruvianewbie | The USB Xubuntu starts apparently fine, if I use the EFI option I get to the GRUB where i can choose to try xubuntu on "safe graphics" or install it. | 02:59 |
| Peruvianewbie | Once i'm on the xubuntu installer (through any of those options) i start the installation configurations but the whole thing freezes and starts "loading" endlessly after a given point. I can never get past the "install 3rd party drivers" (4th page of configs after language, keyboard and wifi configs), but if I take longer on the first pages i | 03:01 |
| Peruvianewbie | might just get stuck on keyboard or wifi configuration with an enlessly "loading" mouse symbol. | 03:01 |
| Peruvianewbie | I've googled this and it seems like people have similar problems when trying xubuntu for the first time with an Nvidia GPU, but this is not my case since my cheap laptop has nothing but the incorporated Intell graphs card. | 03:03 |
| Peruvianewbie | Anyways i tried their fix, changing a line of code in the GRUB of xubuntu installation, from "splash" to "nomodeset" or something similar, but to no avail | 03:04 |
| Peruvianewbie | I have carefully checked all the BIOS configs to disable any "Secure boots only" or similar options. I habilitated the Legacy Rom bootables, which allowed me to enter the drives Xubuntu without going through the GRUB, but i get stuck nevertheless in the same circumstances.u | 03:08 |
| Peruvianewbie | I supposedly have all the requeriments in my dell 11 3000 series, 2.3GHz core i3, 8 RAM. | 03:12 |
| Peruvianewbie | It currently works a shitty and glitchy Windows 10 (main reason i've been looking forward to changing over to xubuntu) | 03:13 |
| Peruvianewbie | And after checking every forum post of problems similar to mine, and trying everything my (very limited) experience suggested could work, I've run out of options and come to ask for help. | 03:14 |
| Bashing-om | Peruvianewbie: Seen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck ? and also Win 10 is UEFI, If you are to dual boot will also install xubuntu in UEFI mode to match. | 03:14 |
| Peruvianewbie | I doubted that to be the reason since I created the bootable drive just today. | 03:16 |
| Bashing-om | Peruvianewbie: Will not take but a few minutes to verify the copy. Until we are certain we have no foundation to diagnose. | 03:18 |
| Peruvianewbie | Thanks Bashing-om, ill go try it. Only problem is I have to leave freenode in order to do that, since it's the same computer. I'll be back in a few minutes I guess. Thanks for the help | 03:21 |

| Peruvianewbie | Hi, i left a while ago while getting help for my failed xubuntu installation. | 03:48 |
| Bashing-om | Peruvianewbie: Still here too :) and "check disk for defects" comes back good ? | 03:52 |
| Peruvianewbie | Great, thanks Bashing-om! I checked drive for failed files, and actually noticed that the filechek takes place automatically when I boot the system, i believe thanks to my BIOS configs. The instructions to trigger the check (pressing any key while the xubuntu OS loaded up) didn't work, and I accidentally figured out that Ctrl+C stops the filecheck, | 03:55 |
| Peruvianewbie | sends me straight to install page one and sort of "buys me time", because after cancelling filecheck i was able to get to the 5th page of install configs (useless, beacuase it freezed afterwards, but I guess it kind of helps to notice theres some sort of time/memory related problem) | 03:55 |
| Peruvianewbie | So, shortly as per your exact question, yes, disk checks fine every time I try the boot, minutes before loading freeezes | 04:00 |
| Bashing-om | Peruvianewbie: Humm - In this case I just do not know what it will take to boot the installer :( | 04:01 |
| Peruvianewbie | Thanks anyways Bashing-om, i'll just keep looking | 04:03 |
| MoogusShow | I go Shift+Ctrl+S and system suspends nicely. I press power to wake up and system runs fine for a bit and then freezes. Anyone know where I can read a log to find out what went wrong? | 04:06 |
| Peruvianewbie | Hi, i've posted a detailed explanation on stackexchange about my failed xubuntu installation. Could you please give it a look and help? I thank you deeply | 05:00 |
| Peruvianewbie | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1239305/xubuntu-live-usb-install-stuck-no-nvidia | 05:00 |
| diogenes_ | Peruvianewbie, i'd suggest you to try 18.04 to see if you get better chances there. If 18.04 works fine, then we can suspect a new bug, either in the installer or kernel. After that you can upgrade to 20.04. | 05:12 |
| Peruvianewbie | diogenes_ thanks a lot! I will try that now. | 05:15 |
| diogenes_ | no problem. | 05:17 |
| xu-help79w | Hello, could somebody help me to connect my printer (Canon MG5250)? It seems to be a problem with the libtiff4... | 06:55 |
| lisbeths | I have a folder of files on a flash drive | 07:58 |
| lisbeths | I selected all of the files in that folder in file manager | 07:58 |
| lisbeths | I right clicked on them and clicked "move to trash" | 07:58 |
| lisbeths | now I have opened my recycle bin and have clicked empty | 07:58 |
| lisbeths | I continually get this error: | 07:59 |
| lisbeths | Could not delete file "filename.extension" Failed to delete the item from the trash. Do you want to skip it? | 07:59 |
| lisbeths | Each of the files in my trash has a lock icon on the corner of it as if I do not have read/write access to my trash bin. | 08:00 |
| lisbeths | the folder ~/.local/share/Trash does not exist on my system | 08:02 |
| gnrp | lisbeths: Files on volatile storage are not moved to trash usually? | 08:04 |
| gnrp | lisbeths: Also check the trash directory of other users, e.g., root | 08:05 |
| lisbeths | there is no /root/.local | 08:07 |
| lisbeths | the trash must be stored on my volatile storage | 08:09 |
| lisbeths | I removed it from the machine and the files went away | 08:09 |
| lisbeths | ah I found it | 08:10 |
| lisbeths | /media/username/drive/.Trash-1000 | 08:10 |
| lisbeths | when I right click on these files in the hidden trash folders it only gives me the option to cut or move to trash | 08:11 |
| lisbeths | which is the same options I had which lead me into this issue | 08:11 |
| lisbeths | I don't want to cut or move to trash I want to delete them all | 08:11 |
| lisbeths | or at least mark them as deleted | 08:11 |
| diogenes_ | lisbeths, it's in /home/user/.local/share/Trash | 08:12 |
| lisbeths | nope the files were deleted from an external usb | 08:13 |
| lisbeths | so it is in /media/username/my-usb-name/.Trash-1000 | 08:13 |
| lisbeths | the only problem I have now is I don't know how to delete something without moving it to the trash | 08:13 |
| diogenes_ | lisbeths, https://i.imgur.com/KhgwjOZ.png | 08:15 |
| lisbeths | lel I feel like that was there in 18.04 and is now gone | 08:16 |
| lisbeths | I dunno | 08:16 |
| lisbeths | a linux noob would not have been able to figure that out | 08:16 |
| diogenes_ | in thunar preferences. | 08:16 |
| lisbeths | Thank you my problem is solved | 08:17 |
| Perfec7 | bom dia a todos! good morning for all of you! | 10:33 |

| gijoe3k | Hello there, if I wanted to put in a feature request in XFCE....where would i submit one? | 14:49 |
| gnrp | gijoe3k: Maybe rather ask in #xfce | 14:50 |
| gijoe3k | doh...good point XD | 14:50 |
| gnrp | otherwise, https://bugzilla.xfce.org/ should be the place I guess | 14:50 |

| tripelb | I don't know how to implement this. https://twitter.com/Xubuntu/status/1255542362287333378 | 16:34 |
| tripelb | AND MY CLIENT WON'T HIGHLIGHT MY NAME SO USE CAPS OR SOMETHING | 16:34 |
| tripelb | Thanks | 16:34 |
| tripelb | And I do give you permission to PM me. | 16:35 |
| brainwash | (the tweet gives you the command) | 16:35 |
| tripelb | Q?uestion:. Or maybe a suggestion. I'd like there to be a site like ask Ubuntu but for xubuntu. That will make help searchable. That will mean that I can get answers even if I'm not on in the middle of the night. | 16:37 |
| tripelb | My problem was implementing that is when do I do it? Do I go to recovery and do it before I boot into xUbuntu? Once I boot up into it I can't do anything because the display is garbled/munged. When I did it in recovery mode then I got the same readable but not right display that I got when I booted Ubuntu in safe mode. Now I am stuck with the new u | 16:39 |
| tripelb | nity -- tweaked. | 16:39 |
| tripelb | ---------- done ----- | 16:39 |
| tripelb | Hello brainwash. Though I didn't notice you responded you now understand my problem.. At what point do I apply this command? | 16:39 |
| tripelb | And if it works will it persist? ---. If you hadn't guessed I'm not really sure what it does. | 16:40 |
| tripelb | Brainwash, it's cool to think that after a while I will learn more and these things will be obvious to me too. | 16:40 |
| ali1234 | lol, that's a very good point... how do you run that command when your display is messed up? | 16:41 |
| ali1234 | also ask ubuntu is for xubuntu as well | 16:42 |
| ali1234 | there is not much point splitting them out, xubuntu is 90% ubuntu | 16:42 |
| ali1234 | ah the answer is posted in a reply | 16:43 |
| ali1234 | "You can do this at the login screen or when you are already logged in. Simply press Ctrl + Alt + F1 to switch to the terminal, log into your account, run the command and then press Ctrl + Alt + F7 to return. Yes it will stick and you won't have to repeat this." | 16:43 |
| tripelb | ali1234 oh thanks. I didn't see the reply. (I tried some f combos but (obviously) not the correct one. | 17:10 |
