[00:01] <gnouf1> Hi
[00:01] <n-iCe> hi
[00:03] <gnouf1> 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] <n-iCe> did you reboot?
[00:05] <gnouf1> Yes, two times
[00:05] <gnouf1> I try to upgrade to 20.10
[00:05] <n-iCe> I would do a clean install
[00:05] <n-iCe> or do an update && upgrade
[00:07] <gnouf1> Ok, i'll try it
[01:03] <Noboru55> hello, i got a problem in my hard disk
[01:03] <Noboru55> if i try to install the xubuntu it fails to create the ext4 filesystem
[01:04] <Noboru55> if i just try to use the cfdisk
[01:04] <Noboru55> i get very slow to change the options
[01:04] <Noboru55> its like my hard disk is weird
[01:04] <Noboru55> how can i check it ?
[01:10] <guiverc> 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] <Noboru55> ok i will see it
[01:14] <Noboru55> its weird, if i try open gparted it takes long time
[01:15] <Noboru55> i am already running live, cant install linux in hd
[03:08] <Xarizzar> 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] <Xarizzar> Whoops. I'm dumb. Please ignore what I asked.
[12:45] <Kryuna> Hi :)
[12:45] <diogenes_> hi
[12:47] <Kryuna> just made the complete switch to Xubuntu yesterday
[12:47] <Kryuna> It's been awesome - I can still play Skyrim! Steam Play is amazing
[12:47] <diogenes_> Kryuna, you've made a perfect choice!
[12:48] <Kryuna> Has anyone tried xubuntu on raspberry Pi?
[12:52] <Kryuna> 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] <Noboru55> hello
[13:02] <Noboru55> someone can help me to check my hd ?
[13:02] <diogenes_> Noboru55, ?
[13:02] <Noboru55> i was running xubuntu 20. but i was testing the slax linux, so i tested and when i rebooted
[13:03] <Noboru55> the grub was in rescue mode
[13:03] <Noboru55> tried to install again the xubuntu and cant create ext4 filesystem
[13:03] <Noboru55> gparted doesnt open
[13:03] <Noboru55> if i try cfdisk, it is very slow to move between options
[13:03] <Noboru55> i think i broke it
[13:04] <diogenes_> i think so too, you can only try to completely format it.
[13:04] <Noboru55> i deleted all partitions
[13:04] <Noboru55> cfdisk create
[13:04] <Noboru55> but in install...... error
[13:05] <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] <Noboru55> how can i do it ?
[13:05] <Noboru55> i am running a command for badblocks since yesterday
[13:05] <Noboru55> here in liveusb
[13:06] <diogenes_> Noboru55, sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M #replace X with the target drive letter.
[13:06] <Noboru55> 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] <Noboru55> here is sda
[13:07] <diogenes_> so sda
[13:07] <Noboru55> 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] <Noboru55> diogenes_ i will do it!
[13:07] <Noboru55> thank you...
[13:07] <diogenes_> come with a feedback.
[13:08] <Noboru55> better wait the other command ends
[13:08] <Noboru55> the badblocks
[13:08] <Noboru55> 916900% done, 11:17:08 elapsed. (9153/0/0 errors)
[13:08] <Noboru55> 11 hours already
[13:08] <diogenes_> yes, now you gonna have to wait long long time :)
[13:08] <Noboru55> i can stop it
[13:09] <Noboru55> no hope it will do something
[13:09] <diogenes_> yes you can stop it.
[13:09] <Noboru55> sometimes i wonder why am i so jerk
[13:09] <diogenes_> happens to everyone, i was once experimenting with NetBSD and wiped all my data :/
[13:09] <Noboru55>     sudo badblocks -wsv -c 10240 /dev/sda
[13:10] <Noboru55> that i am doing
[13:10] <Noboru55> diogenes_ better do the dd=zero ?
[13:11] <diogenes_> Noboru55, try and see, at least that one cleans the drive completely.
[13:11] <Noboru55> alright
[13:11] <Noboru55> i think i will do it
[13:11] <Noboru55> if works, works
[13:11] <Noboru55> if doesnt, so.. its my guilt
[13:13] <Noboru55> diogenes_ i tell u later what happened, thank you very much
[13:14] <diogenes_> Noboru55, ok good luck!
[15:13] <Noboru55> diogenes_ nothing
[15:13] <Noboru55> still cant install xubuntu, error when creating filesystem
[15:13] <Noboru55> ext4
[15:14] <Noboru55> do you know what it means ?
[15:14] <Noboru55> wifeeeeee.  i need a new one
[15:14] <Noboru55> :D
[15:15] <diogenes_> Noboru55, SSD HDD? and hoe old is it?
[15:15] <diogenes_> how*
[15:15] <Noboru55> hdd ... do not know how old. 4 yers
[15:15] <Noboru55> years i guess
[15:16] <Noboru55> but no problem, its how do u say, like "chinese things" second hand.. or something
[15:16] <Noboru55> because i gave my best laptop to my wife.. so
[15:16] <diogenes_> could be full of bad sectors already.

[15:20] <Noboru55> diogenes_ do you know some liveusb linux that starts quickly ?
[15:20] <Noboru55> xubunu take a long time
[15:21] <diogenes_> Noboru55, the quickest i've come across is antiX.
[15:22] <Noboru55> thank you.. i will try this one
[15:22] <Noboru55> lucky u understand my "english"
[15:22] <n-iCe> diogenes_: tried mxlinux?
[15:22] <n-iCe> do they have live? since mxlinux is based in antix that's why I ask
[15:23] <diogenes_> n-iCe, of course i've tried and yes they have.
[15:24] <n-iCe> awesome
[15:24] <n-iCe> diogenes_: what do you use actually
[15:25] <diogenes_> n-iCe, Debian currently and you?
[15:25] <n-iCe> Ubuntu stock.
[15:25] <diogenes_> i see.
[15:27] <xu-irc98w> Hello

[15:29] <xu-irc98w> But I don't have plug.in jre in my browser
[15:30] <Noboru55> diogenes_ what if i install on my external usb 3.0 hd ?
[15:30] <Noboru55> diogenes_ just thinking if i will have no problem during the boot
[15:30] <xu-irc98w> I try download the Firefox https://www.mozilla.org/it/firefox/enterprise/
[15:31] <diogenes_> !info openjdk
[15:31] <xu-irc98w> Yes i have installed openjdk
[15:31] <diogenes_> !info openjdk-11-jre
[15:32] <diogenes_> xu-irc98w, ^^^
[15:33] <diogenes_> Noboru55, you shouldn't be having problems.

[15:33] <Noboru55> i will try to resize my external hd to keep a partition for my bkp
[15:34] <Noboru55> and i will try to install it in this hd
[15:34] <Noboru55> ok.. lets see what happens
[15:34] <Noboru55> diogenes_ thank you agian...
[15:34] <Noboru55> and god bless me
[15:34] <diogenes_> yw
[15:36] <diogenes_> xu-irc98w, https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
[15:36] <diogenes_> Starting with Firefox Version 52 (released in March 2017), Firefox has limited support for plug-ins, and therefore will not run Java.
[15:43] <xu-irc98w> Yes
[16:15] <Noboru55> diogenes_ hi again, installing now on hd usb
[16:15] <Noboru55> 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] <Noboru55> when i boot the first time on my external hd, can i do something to linux ignore the internal hard disk ?
[16:19] <diogenes_> Noboru55, you can disable fsck of HDD in fstab.
[16:19] <Noboru55> mmm
[16:19] <Noboru55> i will reserch for this later
[16:19] <Noboru55> stil installing
[16:20] <diogenes_> ok
[16:20] <Noboru55> thanks
[17:33] <Noboru55> diogenes_ working very very well....
[17:33] <Noboru55> takes more time to boot but.. working nice... sometimes better than before
[17:33] <Noboru55> :D
[17:34] <diogenes_> Noboru55, try the same with windows :)
[17:35] <Noboru55> mmm... my hardware is weak for windows
[17:35] <Noboru55> but if i need now i know its possible. :D
[17:37] <Noboru55> sdb      8:16   0 465,8G  0 disk
[17:37] <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] <Noboru55> it is the internal hd
[17:37] <Noboru55> ah i got it
[17:38] <Noboru55> yes.... if no hd the external could be usefull for win too
[17:38] <diogenes_> i mean you can't do the same with windows*
[17:38] <Noboru55> really ?
[17:38] <Noboru55> thought i could
[17:38] <Noboru55> but i will no try anyway :D
[17:38] <Noboru55> not*
[17:39] <diogenes_> if you install win on usb and start it from there it would take ages.
[17:39] <Noboru55> ahhh
[17:39] <Noboru55> yes... i tried once usb live windows
[17:39] <Noboru55> lol. that was soooo... i do not know the word
[17:39] <Noboru55> but something stupid
[17:41] <Noboru55> i was playing supertuxkart, it runs ok
[17:42] <Noboru55> as i said, i think the external is better than internal hd i had
[17:42] <Noboru55> Thank you..
[17:42] <diogenes_> you're welcome.
[18:06] <Kryuna> does anyone use xburn?
[18:07] <Kryuna> 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] <Kryuna> the high pitched shrieky voice that is
[18:07] <Kryuna> any solutions?
[18:08] <Kryuna> I guess I'll try brasero for now but I like the simplicity of xburn
[18:09] <Kryuna> and now that I've opened brasero - it looks oddly similar to xburn :(
[18:10] <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] <Kryuna> I tried that already :(
[18:11] <Kryuna> and it's not the files either, i've played them back and they sound fine.
[18:11] <Kryuna> also, I've tried a different type of CD-R.
[18:11] <jdwwatts> I think It might be tweakable
[18:12] <diogenes_> Kryuna, maybe CD+R?
[18:13] <Kryuna> I'm going to see if brasero has any luck
[18:13] <Kryuna> it's burning very quickly - even at the slowest speed (x10)
[18:13] <diogenes_> isn't x2 the lowest?
[18:14] <Kryuna> not that I could see
[18:16] <Kryuna> well brasero got it
[18:16] <Kryuna> 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] <Kryuna> maybe it was the actual cd - r I was using
[18:18] <Kryuna> because the first two I burnt were ONN (generic) CDs, but the third try was a different CD.
[18:27] <xu-irc95w> Hello!
[18:30] <xu-irc95w> Somebody could help me ?
[18:30] <jdwwatts> what happened
[18:30] <xu-irc95w> i don't know if i should hide my ip or not on irc ?
[18:31] <jdwwatts> from what?
[18:31] <Kryuna> :O
[18:31] <xu-irc95w> could you read my ip?
[18:32] <xu-irc95w> y or n ?
[18:33] <jdwwatts> there was a address whenyou logged in but that can be manipulated can't it ?
[18:34] <DrKK`> yes I can read your IP
[18:34] <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 nickserv
[18:34] <xu-irc95w> Ok, thank you very much !
[21:21] <xu-help19w> hi..
[22:17] <c0cc0a> 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] <Maxwell> Um. Hello. If someone would be willing to help me I'd appreciate it.
[23:04] <Maxwell> 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] <Unit193> 'Software' or something perhaps?
[23:14] <n-iCe> hi
[23:14] <n-iCe> software center
[23:14] <Maxwell> 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] <Maxwell> Where would software center be?
[23:15] <n-iCe> in your menu
[23:15] <Maxwell> Yeah I searched there. I typed software and I only found the two options I mentioned.
[23:15] <n-iCe> sadly I'm not running xubuntu right now.
[23:16] <Unit193> You could check if the package or snap is installed?
[23:16] <Maxwell> Give me one second please and I'll do that.
[23:22] <Maxwell> Its asking to reset my computer. One moment.
[23:24] <Unit193> ...Huh?
