| vic101 | Hi everybody! I've troubled to boot on the live usb of Lubuntu 20 with an old HP Pavillon DV6. Is there someone to help me? | 07:11 |
| vic101 | When I hit start Lubuntu, display freeze and fan are getting high but nothing happens even with nomodeset | 07:19 |
| vic101 | USB created with rufus | 07:20 |
| guiverc | vic101, the the [integrity] scan pass with no errors? | 07:25 |
| vic101 | what do you mean by integrity scan ? | 07:26 |
| guiverc | Lubuntu 20.04 will scan it's media before it boots.. | 07:27 |
| vic101 | I didn't see no scan running... | 07:32 |
| guiverc | https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.3/installation.html ; the "Check disc for defects" option was removed and the process was made automatic (it was a common failure of installs... checking ISO before write to install media to ensure it's reliable.. then that scan) | 07:32 |
| vic101 | It's just before blue lubuntu screen? | 07:32 |
| guiverc | the ISO validation (checksum check) is covered in https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.1/retrieving_the_image.html before you write to media (the rufus step you did) | 07:33 |
| vic101 | alright. gonna try it | 07:34 |
| guiverc | if you didn't do it, or skipped (in which case I'd do it), I'd step back to prior steps, ie. re-verify the ISO before writing to media, then re-write etc.. | 07:34 |
| * guiverc reasoning is the scan is quick (60-150 secs), where as problem solving issues it detects take hours-days.. | 07:35 | |
| vic101 | MD5sum is not the same | 07:36 |
| vic101 | oups did a mistake :) | 07:37 |
| guiverc | then download failed, the ISO cannot be trusted. I'd `zsync` it again (or re-download it... zsync looks for differences and only grabs portions that changed or are incorrect | 07:37 |
| guiverc | there are multiple types of checksums.. check the correct one | 07:37 |
| vic101 | SHA1 is good on my download | 07:38 |
| guiverc | good, then download was good.. :) | 07:38 |
| guiverc | the most common failure I find is the write to media (what the automatic check should detect) | 07:38 |
| vic101 | I just tried to test with lubuntu 18 and same problem | 07:39 |
| vic101 | Must be a hardware problem | 07:39 |
| guiverc | if you have problems on a box, I usually try it on another box (not the install, just the "start Lubuntu" letting the second box do the scan of media - if both have issues then media is flawed. Lubuntu is a desktop release so yy.mm format | 07:39 |
| vic101 | I'm gonna try with different usb | 07:40 |
| guiverc | :) | 07:40 |
| * guiverc & good luck | 07:40 | |
| vic101 | I tested 20.04 and 18.04.4 | 07:40 |
| vic101 | only LTS versions | 07:40 |
| guiverc | FYI: the software stacks in 18.04.4 (using 19.10 5.3 kernel) & 20.04 (5.4) are rather similar, original 18.04 or 18.04.1 (18.04's 4.15) might have been a better test (if you're tested 18.04.4 to see if different) | 07:45 |
| vic101 | Ok. I'm gonna try the new usb and see then | 07:47 |
| vic101 | same problem with a different USB... | 07:53 |
| guiverc | did the scan complete successfully? | 07:55 |
| vic101 | I tested 20.04 on new usb and no errors | 07:56 |
| vic101 | but i never see a scan or something looking like a scan during install on rufus or booting on usb | 07:57 |
| vic101 | do we agree that scan performs in back? | 07:57 |
| vic101 | or do i have to see a scan windows? | 07:57 |
| vic101 | neither on 20.04 or 18.04.4 | 07:58 |
| guiverc | 18.04.4 has the "Check disc for defects" option to initiate scan, so you start it manually.. All 20.04 ISOs start it automatically.. it reports "Checking ./path/filename \n Checking disk 1 of 1 (99% complete)" with the number incrementing.. you'll see it when it runs.. since it's not running, I'm suspicious of bad write of media | 08:00 |
| guiverc | I've never used rufus, but I know it's mentioned here https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/create-a-bootable-usb-stick-on-windows/14020 | 08:00 |
| vic101 | I'm writing 18.04 on usb and i'm gonna run the check disc | 08:01 |
| vic101 | to be sure :D | 08:01 |
| guiverc | vic101, this is what I'd expect you to see - https://photos.app.goo.gl/Rju8TZzeVBAtP1va9 (sorry it's blurry) | 08:03 |
| vic101 | I've never seen that | 08:04 |
| guiverc | fyi: it scans the install media (thumb-drive), NOT your hdd/ssd or any other drive | 08:04 |
| guiverc | you'll see a version of it if you run the "Check disc for defects" option on 18.04.4 (option in the manual ref I provided earlier) | 08:05 |
| vic101 | I'm always landing directly on language panel | 08:06 |
| vic101 | I just launched check disk on 18.04 and it freezes | 08:06 |
| vic101 | I gonna try with an rufus alternative | 08:07 |
| vic101 | if it freezes again, it will be a HP computer problem :) | 08:07 |
| * guiverc is booting an iso to see order... i get on an UEFI box a grub like menu where I click "start lubuntu" first.. but if it freezes as you say, my 2c is it's a bad write to media (ie. a rufus failure) | 08:08 | |
| * guiverc or hardware failure as you say !! you'd need to test thumb-drive on other box(es) to rightly convict rufus | 08:09 | |
| vic101 | I'm testing with balena Etcher right now | 08:09 |
| vic101 | I've installed Ubuntu on my mac last month with rufus and the same thumb drive | 08:10 |
| vic101 | and no problem on that | 08:10 |
| guiverc | my box didn't give me language selection screen; but I know he screen you mean | 08:10 |
| guiverc | that info does add weight to hardware issue :( | 08:10 |
| vic101 | Ok, same problem with etcher and that software has a check validation before unmounting | 08:13 |
| vic101 | so i would bet on an HP hardware problem | 08:13 |
| vic101 | it still freezes on check disc | 08:14 |
| === RTGuruThe2nd is now known as RisingTechGuru | ||
| guiverc | If it were my box, I'd as stated confirm the media is good by booting in another box (start or try; not the install just in 'live' mode)... then maybe try something different (another flavor maybe or better yet a non Ubuntu system; not for installation, for testing purposes to confirm it boots and runs in 'live' mode) | 08:17 |
| vic101 | ok. I'm gonna test on that computer but have to reboot | 08:17 |
| guiverc | if the other system works, then I'd likely note kernel/drivers etc used, and return to Lubuntu & try again... my guess is the other (non-Ubuntu) system would fail again | 08:17 |
| vic101 | see you | 08:17 |
| guiverc | bye for now :) | 08:17 |
| vic101 | alright | 08:17 |

| tommy`` | Is it possible to change the aspect of the app tab switcher ? I've configured alt+tab to switch the window but i would like to change the graphic | 11:38 |
| guiverc | tommy``, you should provide release info (I cannot help though sorry) | 11:43 |
| tommy`` | guiverc: 20.04 LTS | 11:43 |
| tommy`` | i'have lxqt 0.14.1 | 11:43 |
| nakul | hello , i need support for installing lubuntu on usb | 18:36 |
| sarmonsiill_ | Hi people. Question: Why can I not install libxtf-dev in lubuntu 20.04? | 18:52 |
| wxl | !info libxtf-dev groovy | 18:52 |
| wxl | oops | 18:52 |
| ubottu | Package libxtf-dev does not exist in groovy | 18:52 |
| wxl | !info libxtf-dev focal | 18:52 |
| ubottu | Package libxtf-dev does not exist in focal | 18:53 |
| wxl | same difference, though: it doesn't exist | 18:53 |
| sarmonsiill_ | :( so i cannot compile sterminal | 18:53 |
| wxl | well you could compile the library and then that of course | 18:53 |
| wxl | um there's this site for sterminal (you know the secure terminal) and their https certificate expired in 2018. does this not seem strangely ironic? | 18:56 |
| Ranger5 | Hello | 22:38 |
| kc2bez | o/ | 22:39 |
| Ranger5 | I think I've done something daft to Lubunntu 20. | 22:40 |
| kc2bez | sorry to hear that | 22:40 |
| Ranger5 | tried to install redshift but i didn't get the lightbulb on the panel, so went looking in Discover for... something to make it appear. Along the way found knotes, installed that, and a whole load of other things installed as well that I don't want, and now when I start the laptop I get a screen sized keyborad on screen! I'm thinking I'll re-install the system as I can't see any way of undoing it. | 22:45 |
| kc2bez | Actually that may not be as bad as you think. | 22:47 |
| Ranger5 | really?? | 22:47 |
| kc2bez | The virtual keyboard just needs to be disabled in SDDM. Let me dig that up. | 22:47 |
| kc2bez | ok. Ranger5 do you have a file `/etc/sddm.conf.d/qtvirtualkeyboard` ? | 22:51 |
| Ranger5 | Not that I can see no, sddm on its own but not with .conf.d etc | 22:54 |
| kc2bez | ok | 22:54 |
| kc2bez | edit the `/etc/sddm.conf` file. Under the [General] section change the line `InputMethod=qtvirtualkeyboard` to just `InputMethod=` | 22:57 |
| kc2bez | If that line doesn't exist you can add `InputMethod=` in that section. | 22:58 |
| Ranger5 | Mine just says Autologin, Session=Lubuntu. Shall I add that line under that? | 23:00 |
| kc2bez | I think that will fix it, yes. It will need the `[General]` heading and then `InputMethod=` below the heading. | 23:01 |
| Ranger5 | Okay I've done that, I imagine I need to restart now to see if it worked? | 23:03 |
| kc2bez | Yeah, I am not sure if a logout would do it. | 23:04 |
| kc2bez | The SDDM service would likely need to be restarted. | 23:04 |
| kc2bez | A reboot will cover it all. | 23:04 |
| Ranger5 | Okay, I'll do that and see what happens. Thanks for your help:) | 23:05 |
| kc2bez | Sounds good. Happy to help. | 23:06 |
| Ranger5 | So there's a problem. I cant close the sddm.conf file! I save the changes and it won't let me close it. | 23:07 |
| kc2bez | Which application did you open it with? | 23:08 |
| Ranger5 | Featherpad | 23:08 |
| Ranger5 | Should I have used the terminal and sudo? | 23:08 |
| Ranger5 | Because I didn't. | 23:09 |
| kc2bez | It will need to be with elevated privileges but you can still do that with Featherpad. | 23:09 |
| kc2bez | `VISUAL=featherpad sudoedit /etc/sddm.conf` | 23:10 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> Also you can unistall the virtualkeyboatd, I just don't remember the package now | 23:12 |
| kc2bez | There are a couple of different ones so I am not really sure. | 23:13 |
| Ranger5 | I'm really not sure what I'm doing with this stuff , and it's really late. I can't concentrate fully. I'll remove the changes and hopefully it'll close and I'll try it again tomorrow...well later today anyway! Sorry to be a pain. | 23:16 |
| kc2bez | no worries. | 23:16 |
| Ranger5 | Thanks again, night. | 23:17 |
