[07:11] <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?
[07:19] <vic101> When I hit start Lubuntu, display freeze and fan are getting high but nothing happens even with nomodeset
[07:20] <vic101> USB created with rufus
[07:25] <guiverc> vic101, the the [integrity] scan pass with no errors?
[07:26] <vic101> what do you mean by integrity scan ?
[07:27] <guiverc> Lubuntu 20.04 will scan it's media before it boots..
[07:32] <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?
[07:33] <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)
[07:34] <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..
[07:35]  * guiverc reasoning is the scan is quick (60-150 secs), where as problem solving issues it detects take hours-days..
[07:36] <vic101> MD5sum is not the same
[07:37] <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
[07:38] <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)
[07:39] <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
[07:40] <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
[07:45] <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)
[07:47] <vic101> Ok. I'm gonna try the new usb and see then
[07:53] <vic101> same problem with a different USB...
[07:55] <guiverc> did the scan complete successfully?
[07:56] <vic101> I tested 20.04 on new usb and no errors
[07:57] <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?
[07:58] <vic101> neither on 20.04 or 18.04.4
[08:00] <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
[08:01] <vic101> I'm writing 18.04 on usb and i'm gonna run the check disc
[08:01] <vic101> to be sure :D
[08:03] <guiverc> vic101, this is what I'd expect you to see - https://photos.app.goo.gl/Rju8TZzeVBAtP1va9  (sorry it's blurry)
[08:04] <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
[08:05] <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)
[08:06] <vic101> I'm always landing directly on language panel
[08:06] <vic101> I just launched check disk on 18.04 and it freezes
[08:07] <vic101> I gonna try with an rufus alternative
[08:07] <vic101> if it freezes again, it will be a HP computer problem :)
[08:08]  * 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)
[08:09]  * 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
[08:10] <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 :(
[08:13] <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
[08:14] <vic101> it still freezes on check disc
[08:17] <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
[11:38] <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
[11:43] <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
[18:36] <nakul> hello , i need support for installing lubuntu on usb
[18:52] <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] <wxl> !info libxtf-dev 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
[18:56] <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?
[22:38] <Ranger5> Hello
[22:39] <kc2bez> o/
[22:40] <Ranger5> I think I've done something daft to Lubunntu 20.
[22:40] <kc2bez> sorry to hear that
[22:45] <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.
[22:47] <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.
[22:51] <kc2bez> ok. Ranger5 do you have a file `/etc/sddm.conf.d/qtvirtualkeyboard` ?
[22:54] <Ranger5> Not that I can see no, sddm on its own but not with .conf.d etc
[22:54] <kc2bez> ok
[22:57] <kc2bez> edit the `/etc/sddm.conf` file. Under the [General] section change  the line `InputMethod=qtvirtualkeyboard` to just `InputMethod=`
[22:58] <kc2bez> If that line doesn't exist you can add `InputMethod=` in that section.
[23:00] <Ranger5> Mine just says Autologin, Session=Lubuntu. Shall I add that line under that?
[23:01] <kc2bez> I think that will fix it, yes. It will need the `[General]` heading and then `InputMethod=` below the heading.
[23:03] <Ranger5> Okay I've done that, I imagine I need to restart now to see if it worked?
[23:04] <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.
[23:05] <Ranger5> Okay, I'll do that and see what happens. Thanks for your help:)
[23:06] <kc2bez> Sounds good. Happy to help.
[23:07] <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.
[23:08] <kc2bez> Which application did you open it with?
[23:08] <Ranger5> Featherpad
[23:08] <Ranger5> Should I have used the terminal and sudo?
[23:09] <Ranger5> Because I didn't.
[23:09] <kc2bez> It will need to be with elevated privileges but you can still do that with Featherpad.
[23:10] <kc2bez> `VISUAL=featherpad sudoedit /etc/sddm.conf`
 Also you can unistall the virtualkeyboatd, I just don't remember the package now
[23:13] <kc2bez> There are a couple of different ones so I am not really sure.
[23:16] <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.
[23:17] <Ranger5> Thanks again, night.
