[08:14] <yesyesproblemyes> Hi, i want to use xubuntu to turn a old laptop into a digital picture frame. My question is what capacity flash drive should I use? 8? 16? 32GB?
[08:19] <xubuntu14i5885> Hello
[08:21] <xubuntu14i5885> I am struggling
[09:40] <xu-help12w> Hi!
[09:41] <xu-help64w> Anybody able to help me?
[09:42] <xu-help64w> Been struggling to get xubuntu working for a good 6 hours or so.
[09:43] <diogenes_> xu-help64w,
[09:43] <diogenes_> !ask
[09:46] <xu-help64w> Thanks. I need help booting xubuntu from grub. Once i boot though, i get sent to another command prompt, and i have no idea what to do from there. I've been trying to install it for about six hours now, without any luck. Any help at all is appreciated!
[09:49] <diogenes_> xu-help64w, you booting off a usb drive?
[09:50] <xu-help64w> Yes
[09:51] <diogenes_> does it boot to live environment?
[09:52] <xu-help64w> Have no idea. I used rufus to create it, using iso.
[09:52] <xu-help64w> Still very new to this.
[09:53] <diogenes_> do you get this? https://static.knowledgebase.ai/upload/8688336/6e5edbd58c-bf8a1be51c530261aacf.png
[09:54] <xu-help64w> No. I'm in grub 2.04 for xubuntu
[09:56] <diogenes_> xu-help64w, it might mean the iso wasn't properly written to the usb drive.
[09:57] <xu-help64w> I have formatted the drive and rewritten the iso to the drive multiple times.
[09:57] <diogenes_> try to fully format erase the usb and instead of rufus use this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
[09:58] <diogenes_> assuming you're on windows.
[13:27] <jdwwatts> hello world
[14:29] <n-iCe> hi
[18:25] <puff> So I upgraded to a new laptop, decided to try stock ubuntu GUI for a bit, just because... I'm not overwhelmed.  Tried installing xubuntu-desktop and it's giving me some warnings about unment dependencies and conflicts:  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7tXXyn3Rtv/
[19:28] <n-iCe> hi
[19:50] <dispo> whisker menu has a 1 second lag day when I click on it,I  noticed this issue since the latest system update
[19:50] <dispo> xubuntu 18.04.4
[19:52] <brainwash> dispo: what was updated exactly?
[19:53] <dispo> 4.15.0-101-generic
[19:54] <dispo> Kernel
[20:37] <dispo> xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin is already the newest version (2.1.5-0ubuntu1).
[22:00] <lwmar> hello, I have the following problem with transmission but also with tixati: I am using another hard drive to store the incomplete torrent files, it is mounted at the start of xubuntu 20 lts. I can hear the disk starting when I open the mentioned applications however it looks like to me that the applications do not wait enough time so I get a
[22:00] <lwmar> missing files error having me to force rechecking for every single file manually
[22:36] <well_laid_lawn> lwmar: if you access the files on the disk before starting those apps does it happen ?
[22:36] <well_laid_lawn> using the file manager or sommething...
[22:47] <lwmar> @well_laid_lawn no, in that case it does not happen
[22:48] <well_laid_lawn> so the issuue is the timme it takes for the disk to spin up
[22:50] <well_laid_lawn> you could make your own lauuncher with a command to spin the disk firdt
[22:51] <lwmar> yes but I think that is not the best solution, I think this is probably why my PC freezes so often since I upgraded to v20 of Xubuntu
[22:52] <lwmar> many things make my PC freeze, while before this was not happening. One of them is sometimes when I disconnect the wi-fi
[22:54] <well_laid_lawn> if that is the case then filing bug reports is the only way forward afaik
[22:54] <well_laid_lawn> !bugs
[23:00] <lwmar> but I am not sure if it is a bug and I don't want people to think I like to report false bugs
[23:00] <lwmar> that is why I was asking the other day about help analyzing my logs to diagnose problems
