gnouf1Hi00:01
n-iCehi00:01
gnouf1I have a little problem with my xubuntu, i just upgrade it from 19.04 to 19.10 and now  have graphical problem, like multicolors artifacts in border of my windows00:03
n-iCedid you reboot?00:03
gnouf1Yes, two times00:05
gnouf1I try to upgrade to 20.1000:05
n-iCeI would do a clean install00:05
n-iCeor do an update && upgrade00:05
gnouf1Ok, i'll try it00:07
Noboru55hello, i got a problem in my hard disk01:03
Noboru55if i try to install the xubuntu it fails to create the ext4 filesystem01:03
Noboru55if i just try to use the cfdisk01:04
Noboru55i get very slow to change the options01:04
Noboru55its like my hard disk is weird01:04
Noboru55how can i check it ?01:04
guivercNoboru55, I'd suggest checking SMART or the health stats of your drive; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools (boot a 'live' media so it's not in use, then you can use smartctl, or GUI tool to read health from drive electronics)01:10
Noboru55ok i will see it01:14
Noboru55its weird, if i try open gparted it takes long time01:14
Noboru55i am already running live, cant install linux in hd01:15
XarizzarIf I might ask a question. If I have an environment variable with a separator (colon ":") in it, how would I go about using cd "$ENVIRONMENT_VAR"? Since the semicolons are still in the string, is this even possible?03:08
XarizzarWhoops. I'm dumb. Please ignore what I asked.03:13
KryunaHi :)12:45
diogenes_hi12:45
Kryunajust made the complete switch to Xubuntu yesterday12:47
KryunaIt's been awesome - I can still play Skyrim! Steam Play is amazing12:47
diogenes_Kryuna, you've made a perfect choice!12:47
KryunaHas anyone tried xubuntu on raspberry Pi?12:48
KryunaI'm assuming it works just fine since numerous people have put Ubuntu on them, but I was wondering if there was a dedicated image for it, or if I need to install Ubunutu, then nuke the default GUI and replace with XFCE.12:52
Noboru55hello13:02
Noboru55someone can help me to check my hd ?13:02
diogenes_Noboru55, ?13:02
Noboru55i was running xubuntu 20. but i was testing the slax linux, so i tested and when i rebooted13:02
Noboru55the grub was in rescue mode13:03
Noboru55tried to install again the xubuntu and cant create ext4 filesystem13:03
Noboru55gparted doesnt open13:03
Noboru55if i try cfdisk, it is very slow to move between options13:03
Noboru55i think i broke it13:03
diogenes_i think so too, you can only try to completely format it.13:04
Noboru55i deleted all partitions13:04
Noboru55cfdisk create13:04
Noboru55but in install...... error13:04
diogenes_Noboru55, it's not enough to delete the partitions, it has to be zeroed.13:05
diogenes_and that can take hours.13:05
Noboru55how can i do it ?13:05
Noboru55i am running a command for badblocks since yesterday13:05
Noboru55here in liveusb13:05
diogenes_Noboru55, sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M #replace X with the target drive letter.13:06
Noboru55its weird, if i have a partition created, when i reboot the laptop, it takes a long time to enter bios or long time to select boot options, if i have no partitions created so it run fast, i mean i can enter in bios quickly13:06
Noboru55here is sda13:07
diogenes_so sda13:07
Noboru55diogenes_ i happened when i created the slax boot, to create the boot i needed to run a boot. sh  and that made something crazy :P13:07
Noboru55diogenes_ i will do it!13:07
Noboru55thank you...13:07
diogenes_come with a feedback.13:07
Noboru55better wait the other command ends13:08
Noboru55the badblocks13:08
Noboru55916900% done, 11:17:08 elapsed. (9153/0/0 errors)13:08
Noboru5511 hours already13:08
diogenes_yes, now you gonna have to wait long long time :)13:08
Noboru55i can stop it13:08
Noboru55no hope it will do something13:09
diogenes_yes you can stop it.13:09
Noboru55sometimes i wonder why am i so jerk13:09
diogenes_happens to everyone, i was once experimenting with NetBSD and wiped all my data :/13:09
Noboru55    sudo badblocks -wsv -c 10240 /dev/sda13:09
Noboru55that i am doing13:10
Noboru55diogenes_ better do the dd=zero ?13:10
diogenes_Noboru55, try and see, at least that one cleans the drive completely.13:11
Noboru55alright13:11
Noboru55i think i will do it13:11
Noboru55if works, works13:11
Noboru55if doesnt, so.. its my guilt13:11

Noboru55diogenes_ hi again, installing now on hd usb16:15
Noboru55diogenes_ but i noticed i cant disable my hd of laptop in bios.... and when running the live usb i see the internal hd showing i/o error on my screen16:15
Noboru55when i boot the first time on my external hd, can i do something to linux ignore the internal hard disk ?16:16
diogenes_Noboru55, you can disable fsck of HDD in fstab.16:19
Noboru55mmm16:19
Noboru55i will reserch for this later16:19
Noboru55stil installing16:19
diogenes_ok16:20
Noboru55thanks16:20
Noboru55diogenes_ working very very well....17:33
Noboru55takes more time to boot but.. working nice... sometimes better than before17:33
Noboru55:D17:33
diogenes_Noboru55, try the same with windows :)17:34
Noboru55mmm... my hardware is weak for windows17:35
Noboru55but if i need now i know its possible. :D17:35
Noboru55sdb      8:16   0 465,8G  0 disk17:37
diogenes_it's not only about the hardware, you just can do the same with windows, so if there was no linux, your PC would have turned into a waste of plastic and metal.17:37
Noboru55it is the internal hd17:37
Noboru55ah i got it17:37
Noboru55yes.... if no hd the external could be usefull for win too17:38
diogenes_i mean you can't do the same with windows*17:38
Noboru55really ?17:38
Noboru55thought i could17:38
Noboru55but i will no try anyway :D17:38
Noboru55not*17:38
diogenes_if you install win on usb and start it from there it would take ages.17:39
Noboru55ahhh17:39
Noboru55yes... i tried once usb live windows17:39
Noboru55lol. that was soooo... i do not know the word17:39
Noboru55but something stupid17:39
Noboru55i was playing supertuxkart, it runs ok17:41
Noboru55as i said, i think the external is better than internal hd i had17:42
Noboru55Thank you..17:42
diogenes_you're welcome.17:42
Kryunadoes anyone use xburn?18:06
KryunaI have an album of mp3 files that I would like to burn to a CD, and they burn successfully, but the tracks sound like a chipmunk when played back in a CD player.18:07
Kryunathe high pitched shrieky voice that is18:07
Kryunaany solutions?18:07
KryunaI guess I'll try brasero for now but I like the simplicity of xburn18:08
Kryunaand now that I've opened brasero - it looks oddly similar to xburn :(18:09
diogenes_Kryuna, now i've got to come across someone who still burns CDs :)18:10
diogenes_Kryuna, but try to burn at the lowest speed.18:10
KryunaI tried that already :(18:10
Kryunaand it's not the files either, i've played them back and they sound fine.18:11
Kryunaalso, I've tried a different type of CD-R.18:11
jdwwattsI think It might be tweakable18:11
diogenes_Kryuna, maybe CD+R?18:12
KryunaI'm going to see if brasero has any luck18:13
Kryunait's burning very quickly - even at the slowest speed (x10)18:13
diogenes_isn't x2 the lowest?18:13
Kryunanot that I could see18:14
Kryunawell brasero got it18:16
KryunaI 'm not sure what the difference was between the applications - they both look pretty similar, but I just left settings at default in brasero and it works18:16
Kryunamaybe it was the actual cd - r I was using18:18
Kryunabecause the first two I burnt were ONN (generic) CDs, but the third try was a different CD.18:18
xu-irc95wHello!18:27
xu-irc95wSomebody could help me ?18:30
jdwwattswhat happened18:30
xu-irc95wi don't know if i should hide my ip or not on irc ?18:30
jdwwattsfrom what?18:31
Kryuna:O18:31
xu-irc95wcould you read my ip?18:31
xu-irc95wy or n ?18:32
jdwwattsthere was a address whenyou logged in but that can be manipulated can't it ?18:33
DrKK`yes I can read your IP18:34
DrKK`if you want to block the IP,18:34
DrKK`you need a "cloak"18:34
DrKK`go to the #freenode channel and ask for a cloak, but you first need to be authenticated with nickserv18:34
xu-irc95wOk, thank you very much !18:34
xu-help19whi..21:21

MaxwellWhere would software center be?23:14
n-iCein your menu23:15
MaxwellYeah I searched there. I typed software and I only found the two options I mentioned.23:15
n-iCesadly I'm not running xubuntu right now.23:15
Unit193You could check if the package or snap is installed?23:16
MaxwellGive me one second please and I'll do that.23:16
