[00:01] Hi [00:01] hi [00:03] I 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 windows [00:03] did you reboot? [00:05] Yes, two times [00:05] I try to upgrade to 20.10 [00:05] I would do a clean install [00:05] or do an update && upgrade [00:07] Ok, i'll try it [01:03] hello, i got a problem in my hard disk [01:03] if i try to install the xubuntu it fails to create the ext4 filesystem [01:04] if i just try to use the cfdisk [01:04] i get very slow to change the options [01:04] its like my hard disk is weird [01:04] how can i check it ? [01:10] Noboru55, 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) [01:14] ok i will see it [01:14] its weird, if i try open gparted it takes long time [01:15] i am already running live, cant install linux in hd [03:08] If 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? [03:13] Whoops. I'm dumb. Please ignore what I asked. [12:45] Hi :) [12:45] hi [12:47] just made the complete switch to Xubuntu yesterday [12:47] It's been awesome - I can still play Skyrim! Steam Play is amazing [12:47] Kryuna, you've made a perfect choice! [12:48] Has anyone tried xubuntu on raspberry Pi? [12:52] I'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. [13:02] hello [13:02] someone can help me to check my hd ? [13:02] Noboru55, ? [13:02] i was running xubuntu 20. but i was testing the slax linux, so i tested and when i rebooted [13:03] the grub was in rescue mode [13:03] tried to install again the xubuntu and cant create ext4 filesystem [13:03] gparted doesnt open [13:03] if i try cfdisk, it is very slow to move between options [13:03] i think i broke it [13:04] i think so too, you can only try to completely format it. [13:04] i deleted all partitions [13:04] cfdisk create [13:04] but in install...... error [13:05] Noboru55, it's not enough to delete the partitions, it has to be zeroed. [13:05] and that can take hours. [13:05] how can i do it ? [13:05] i am running a command for badblocks since yesterday [13:05] here in liveusb [13:06] Noboru55, sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M #replace X with the target drive letter. [13:06] its 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 quickly [13:07] here is sda [13:07] so sda [13:07] diogenes_ i happened when i created the slax boot, to create the boot i needed to run a boot. sh and that made something crazy :P [13:07] diogenes_ i will do it! [13:07] thank you... [13:07] come with a feedback. [13:08] better wait the other command ends [13:08] the badblocks [13:08] 916900% done, 11:17:08 elapsed. (9153/0/0 errors) [13:08] 11 hours already [13:08] yes, now you gonna have to wait long long time :) [13:08] i can stop it [13:09] no hope it will do something [13:09] yes you can stop it. [13:09] sometimes i wonder why am i so jerk [13:09] happens to everyone, i was once experimenting with NetBSD and wiped all my data :/ [13:09] sudo badblocks -wsv -c 10240 /dev/sda [13:10] that i am doing [13:10] diogenes_ better do the dd=zero ? [13:11] Noboru55, try and see, at least that one cleans the drive completely. [13:11] alright [13:11] i think i will do it [13:11] if works, works [13:11] if doesnt, so.. its my guilt [13:13] diogenes_ i tell u later what happened, thank you very much [13:14] Noboru55, ok good luck! [15:13] diogenes_ nothing [15:13] still cant install xubuntu, error when creating filesystem [15:13] ext4 [15:14] do you know what it means ? [15:14] wifeeeeee. i need a new one [15:14] :D [15:15] Noboru55, SSD HDD? and hoe old is it? [15:15] how* [15:15] hdd ... do not know how old. 4 yers [15:15] years i guess [15:16] but no problem, its how do u say, like "chinese things" second hand.. or something [15:16] because i gave my best laptop to my wife.. so [15:16] could be full of bad sectors already. [15:17] hello [15:17] diogenes_ https://imgur.com/TJXD1aG.png [15:18] diogenes_ other https://imgur.com/9eWQgG7.png [15:18] Noboru55, yes I/O error, drive is damaged. [15:18] i see [15:19] anyway thank you for try help me [15:19] no problem. [15:19] :) [15:20] diogenes_ do you know some liveusb linux that starts quickly ? [15:20] xubunu take a long time [15:21] Noboru55, the quickest i've come across is antiX. [15:22] thank you.. i will try this one [15:22] lucky u understand my "english" [15:22] diogenes_: tried mxlinux? [15:22] do they have live? since mxlinux is based in antix that's why I ask [15:23] n-iCe, of course i've tried and yes they have. [15:24] awesome [15:24] diogenes_: what do you use actually [15:25] n-iCe, Debian currently and you? [15:25] Ubuntu stock. [15:25] i see. [15:27] Hello [15:27] hello [15:28] How can configure plug-in Java for Firefox or chrome? [15:28] I follow the document: [15:28] https://www.java.com/it/download/help/enable_browser_ubuntu.xml [15:29] But I don't have plug.in jre in my browser [15:30] diogenes_ what if i install on my external usb 3.0 hd ? [15:30] diogenes_ just thinking if i will have no problem during the boot [15:30] I try download the Firefox https://www.mozilla.org/it/firefox/enterprise/ [15:31] !info openjdk [15:31] Package openjdk does not exist in focal [15:31] Yes i have installed openjdk [15:31] !info openjdk-11-jre [15:31] openjdk-11-jre (source: openjdk-lts): OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT. In component main, is optional. Version 11.0.7+10-3ubuntu1 (focal), package size 33 kB, installed size 117 kB [15:32] xu-irc98w, ^^^ [15:33] Noboru55, you shouldn't be having problems. [15:33] dario@Satellite-A300D:~$ which java/usr/bin/javadario@Satellite-A300D:~$ java --versionopenjdk 11.0.7 2020-04-14OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.7+10-post-Ubuntu-3ubuntu1)OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.7+10-post-Ubuntu-3ubuntu1, mixed mode, sharing) [15:33] i will try to resize my external hd to keep a partition for my bkp [15:34] and i will try to install it in this hd [15:34] ok.. lets see what happens [15:34] diogenes_ thank you agian... [15:34] and god bless me [15:34] yw [15:36] xu-irc98w, https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp [15:36] Starting with Firefox Version 52 (released in March 2017), Firefox has limited support for plug-ins, and therefore will not run Java. [15:43] Yes [16:15] diogenes_ hi again, installing now on hd usb [16:15] diogenes_ 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 screen [16:16] when i boot the first time on my external hd, can i do something to linux ignore the internal hard disk ? [16:19] Noboru55, you can disable fsck of HDD in fstab. [16:19] mmm [16:19] i will reserch for this later [16:19] stil installing [16:20] ok [16:20] thanks [17:33] diogenes_ working very very well.... [17:33] takes more time to boot but.. working nice... sometimes better than before [17:33] :D [17:34] Noboru55, try the same with windows :) [17:35] mmm... my hardware is weak for windows [17:35] but if i need now i know its possible. :D [17:37] sdb 8:16 0 465,8G 0 disk [17:37] 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] it is the internal hd [17:37] ah i got it [17:38] yes.... if no hd the external could be usefull for win too [17:38] i mean you can't do the same with windows* [17:38] really ? [17:38] thought i could [17:38] but i will no try anyway :D [17:38] not* [17:39] if you install win on usb and start it from there it would take ages. [17:39] ahhh [17:39] yes... i tried once usb live windows [17:39] lol. that was soooo... i do not know the word [17:39] but something stupid [17:41] i was playing supertuxkart, it runs ok [17:42] as i said, i think the external is better than internal hd i had [17:42] Thank you.. [17:42] you're welcome. [18:06] does anyone use xburn? [18:07] I 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] the high pitched shrieky voice that is [18:07] any solutions? [18:08] I guess I'll try brasero for now but I like the simplicity of xburn [18:09] and now that I've opened brasero - it looks oddly similar to xburn :( [18:10] Kryuna, now i've got to come across someone who still burns CDs :) [18:10] Kryuna, but try to burn at the lowest speed. [18:10] I tried that already :( [18:11] and it's not the files either, i've played them back and they sound fine. [18:11] also, I've tried a different type of CD-R. [18:11] I think It might be tweakable [18:12] Kryuna, maybe CD+R? [18:13] I'm going to see if brasero has any luck [18:13] it's burning very quickly - even at the slowest speed (x10) [18:13] isn't x2 the lowest? [18:14] not that I could see [18:16] well brasero got it [18:16] I '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 works [18:18] maybe it was the actual cd - r I was using [18:18] because the first two I burnt were ONN (generic) CDs, but the third try was a different CD. [18:27] Hello! [18:30] Somebody could help me ? [18:30] what happened [18:30] i don't know if i should hide my ip or not on irc ? [18:31] from what? [18:31] :O [18:31] could you read my ip? [18:32] y or n ? [18:33] there was a address whenyou logged in but that can be manipulated can't it ? [18:34] yes I can read your IP [18:34] if you want to block the IP, [18:34] you need a "cloak" [18:34] go to the #freenode channel and ask for a cloak, but you first need to be authenticated with nickserv [18:34] Ok, thank you very much ! [21:21] hi.. [22:17] hi! I don't know if someone can help me out with an issue I'm having with Xubuntu 20.04 and raspberry pi 4. It keeps freezing. [22:57] Um. Hello. If someone would be willing to help me I'd appreciate it. [23:04] See I am trying to access the store but I'm not sure where it is. (I know it's not called the store, but Idk what term it's called.) [23:12] 'Software' or something perhaps? [23:14] hi [23:14] software center [23:14] I tried both "software updater" and "software and updates" Crazy thing is I found it once, but I cant find it again for some reason. The other one just says all the software I got [23:14] Where would software center be? [23:15] in your menu [23:15] Yeah I searched there. I typed software and I only found the two options I mentioned. [23:15] sadly I'm not running xubuntu right now. [23:16] You could check if the package or snap is installed? [23:16] Give me one second please and I'll do that. [23:22] Its asking to reset my computer. One moment. [23:24] ...Huh?
