[00:00] <lwmar> after I upgraded to xubuntu 20 and tried to install qtorrent all the problems started
[00:01] <lwmar> I tried to install synaptic but I can't even do that!
[00:04] <well_laid_lawn> 'm not at my xubuntu boxx atm maybe someone else can paste the sources file
[00:05] <well_laid_lawn> the ubuntu wiki is way out of date
[00:05] <lwmar> Ahh ok, it is not me being such a bad user then! big relief, thanks
[00:06] <lwmar> does xubuntu have something like repair mode to install it over the current installation to fix problems?
[00:07] <well_laid_lawn> not as far as I know
[00:09] <lwmar> I can't understand what happened to my gui for software & updates
[00:10] <lwmar> does it have a different name under the new 20 version of xubuntu?
[00:12] <well_laid_lawn> I haven't looked at 20.04 yet but it should be in the menu
[00:16] <lwmar> here I don't see fossa: https://packages.ubuntu.com/
[00:17] <lwmar> where to find the packages for fossa?
[00:17] <lwmar> ohh it is called focal fossa, I am sorry
[03:57] <puff> So I upgraded to a new laptop, decided to try stock ubuntu GUI for a bit, just because... not overwhelmed.  Tried installing xubuntu-desktop and https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7tXXyn3Rtv/

[15:06] <xu-irc94w> Hi guys, i would like to understand how can i choose to boot from an usb on which i have installed Puppylinux. On my computer I have now Xubuntu and i couldn't understand how to do that. I think it should be easy one but still could not find the right info. Can anyone help?
[15:15] <diogenes_> xu-irc94w, when you start the PC hit f9 if HP or f12 if Acer or esc if Asus and other keys for ohher models and pick your usb drive from the list.
[15:19] <xu-irc94w> diogenes_ let me try with f9..it's a compaq presario (HP i guess?)
[15:24] <xu-irc94w> it is the right key,  but the process gets blocked and it doesn't show the boot menu to choose from..
[15:26] <diogenes_> xu-irc94w, then press f10 go to boot tab and disable secure boot.
[15:27] <xu-irc94w> ok
[15:28] <diogenes_> don't forget to save changes.
[15:30] <xu-irc94w> diogenes_ again blocked: F10...Bios setup options and nothing more
[15:30] <xu-irc94w> it freezes
[15:31] <diogenes_> xu-irc94w, try it without the usb drive attached, hit f10 and you should see BIOS menu.
[15:31] <xu-irc94w> ok! thank you by the way ;-)
[15:32] <diogenes_> no problem
[15:43] <xu-irc94w> diogenes_ almost there..
[15:43] <xu-irc94w> there is no secure boot option
[15:44] <xu-irc94w> and it seems as in the boot options there is no usb enabled option
[15:44] <xu-irc94w> what i see is
[15:44] <xu-irc94w> in the boot options:
[15:45] <xu-irc94w> post. hotkey delay (sec) ---- 0
[15:45] <xu-irc94w> cd-rom boot  -------- (enabled)
[15:45] <xu-irc94w> floppy boot ------------ (enabled)
[15:45] <xu-irc94w> Internal network adapter
[15:46] <diogenes_> xu-irc94w, maybe a screenshot with phone?
[15:49] <xu-irc94w> ok
[15:54] <xu-irc94w> I just draged and droped the photo here to upload but it didn't work ..how do you upload here?
[15:55] <diogenes_> xu-irc94w, upload to imgur.com
[15:55] <diogenes_> and share the url.
[16:01] <xu-irc94w> https://imgur.com/a/1sWfUaC
[16:03] <xu-irc94w> diogenes_ What do u think?
[16:04] <diogenes_> xu-irc94w, ok it's an old machine so tell me if you can access BIOS with f10 when the usb drive is attached?
[16:06] <xu-irc94w> no i can't
[16:06] <xu-irc94w> only without usb
[16:07] <xu-irc94w> maybe i should create a bootble cd with puppylinux and try to use it that way
[16:08] <diogenes_> xu-irc94w, the problem might be with the usb drive, try to zero it out and write the iso again.
[16:09] <xu-irc94w> Humm..but it works with my other laptop which is newer than this presario
[16:10] <diogenes_> xu-irc94w, it might be bootable in UEFI only then.
[16:11] <diogenes_> and this old machine has no UEFI.
[16:11] <xu-irc94w> got it
[16:11] <xu-irc94w> i guess is better than to use the cd
[16:12] <xu-irc94w> any other ideas?
[16:13] <diogenes_> xu-irc94w, there might be a possibility to boot it right from your HDD.
[16:13] <xu-irc94w> ok, how?
[16:14] <diogenes_> boot into xubuntu first.
[16:14] <xu-irc94w> ok
[16:15] <xu-irc94w> done
[16:15] <diogenes_> insert the usb.
[16:16] <xu-irc94w> done
[16:16] <diogenes_> give me the download link to puppy iso that you downloaded.
[16:17] <xu-irc94w> http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-bionic/bionicpup64/
[16:20] <diogenes_> xu-irc94w, bionicpup64-8.0-uefi.iso?
[16:21] <xu-irc94w> yes
[16:21] <diogenes_> it says uefi there so it won't work on your machine.
[16:22] <xu-irc94w> ok
[16:23] <xu-irc94w> Thank you!! I will try it out with the cd
[16:24] <diogenes_> ok good luck.
[16:26] <xu-irc94w> have a nice evening! ;-)
[16:26] <diogenes_> thanks the same to you.
[18:43] <abtm_> quick question, I have just loaded xubuntu on my precision 7530 and everything seems to be working fine out of the box except..... my bluetooth headset seems to be locked to A2DP which means the built in mic is not functional
[18:44] <abtm_> help pls....
[18:48] <coconut> no clue abtm, and you might have more success on #ubuntu (more users)
[18:53] <n-iCe> hi
