[01:30] <abtm_> question, I have an xubuntu VM that is displaying the wrong time.
[01:36] <abtm_> it knows what timezone I am in and displays the accurate minutes and seconds but it shows the hours to be 4 hours ahead

[01:42] <abtm_> the clock applet is displaying in the custom format of %a %b %d, %Y%n%-I:%M:%S %p

[15:20] <Celso> Good afternoon!
[15:20] <Celso> How do I increase the font size on tty?
[15:20] <Celso> My monitor is 24 "and the font is small.
[15:21] <Celso> Is there a shortcut like in xfce4-terminal?
[15:25] <pmjdebruijn> Celso: you mean the kernel console
[15:25] <pmjdebruijn> Celso: https://www.tecmint.com/change-console-fonts-in-ubuntu-server/
[15:26] <Celso> increase the font size on the console.
[15:26] <pmjdebruijn> see the link I pasted
[15:27] <Celso> pmjdebruijn: thank you
[15:33] <Celso> It looks like it's already set to 8x18.
[15:40] <pmjdebruijn> I would expect 8x16 to be honest
[15:40] <pmjdebruijn> there is a 12x24 version of terminus
[15:40] <pmjdebruijn> not sure if it's installed by default though
[15:46] <Celso> pmjdebruijn: I will restart the computer to see if the changes apply.
[16:07] <Celso> pmjdebruijn: I managed to increase the font size, thanks!

[18:26] <Noboru55> only gmail does it..  i am using other account imap and its working very well
[18:27] <Noboru55> when tried the gmail, gmail adviced on browser mail they found someone trying to connect the mail
[18:27] <Noboru55> of course i tried to configure it.. but i think gmail does not allow me to use the imap
[18:30] <Noboru55> i will not enable 2 steps verification
[18:38] <juno> Noboru55, maybe try https://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/Using_Claws_Mail_with_Gmail
[18:38] <juno> claws is forked from sylpheed, so maybe it will work
[18:38] <Noboru55> trying it right now

[20:40] <Logimite> i have a video of the error
[20:40] <Logimite> should i post link to that?
[20:40] <Bashing-om> Logimite: Sure, we can try that and see what we can determine.
[20:41] <Logimite> okay
[20:41] <Logimite> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oJpo9WUIdiiGNp4mzIffMjEAQRlfTxJE/view?usp=sharing

[20:43] <Logimite> oh...
[20:43] <diogenes_> Logimite, better upload to imgur.com
[20:43] <Logimite> can you upload imagess?
[20:43] <diogenes_> or youtube
[20:43] <Logimite> hmm
[20:43] <Logimite> okay
[20:45] <Logimite> it says files are too large
[20:45] <Logimite> so i cant upload to imgur
[20:47] <Logimite> sorry i disconnectedd
[20:48] <Logimite> can you please help me?
[20:48] <Logimite> with the thing i said earlier
[20:48] <Bashing-om> Logimite: We do not have crystal balls to know what is going on - how do you suggest we proceed to get you installed ?
[20:48] <Logimite> hmm
[20:49] <Logimite> i thought i said it earlier
[20:49] <Logimite> and i disconnectedd
[20:49] <Logimite> and i came back
[20:49] <Logimite> okay i think that this video should explain my error
[20:49] <Logimite> this is while installing xubuntu
[20:49] <Logimite> irclogs.ubuntu.com
[20:49] <Logimite> oh not that
[20:49] <v1adimir> easy, there, killa :P
[20:49] <Bashing-om> Logimite: At this point all we know is there is some error - so vauge there is nothing to go on.
[20:49] <Logimite> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oJpo9WUIdiiGNp4mzIffMjEAQRlfTxJE/view?usp=sharing
[20:49] <Logimite> here
[20:49] <Logimite> it is while installation
[20:50] <v1adimir> You need access
[20:50] <v1adimir> Ask for access, or switch to an account with access.
[20:50] <Logimite> how do I do that
[20:50] <Logimite> I am installing xubuntu
[20:50] <Logimite> i dont have account
[20:51] <v1adimir> maybe try https://postimages.org/ or https://imgbb.com/
[20:51] <Bashing-om> Logimite: No ides of what google drive could have to do with an xubuntu install.
[20:51] <Logimite> it is a video
[20:52] <Logimite> so i cant share with any of those site
[20:52] <Bashing-om> idea*
[20:52] <Logimite> okay let me put it on yt
[20:53] <Logimite> https://youtu.be/gf1cxQsltsw
[20:53] <Logimite> this is it
[20:54] <Logimite> this is my error
[20:55] <Logimite> hello?
[20:55] <Logimite> is anybody on?
[20:56] <diogenes_> Logimite, patience please.
[20:56] <Logimite> okay
[20:56] <v1adimir> nobody but us chickens here
[20:56] <Logimite> I am very sorry
[20:57] <Bashing-om> Logimite: Sorry - I can not make out what the video portrays.
[20:57] <Logimite> it is my error during installation
[20:57] <Logimite> when I am trying to install it
[20:57] <Logimite> it closes the window
[20:57] <Logimite> when i have the partition error
[20:58] <v1adimir> Logimite: is it a blank drive you're installing to, or?
[20:59] <Logimite> i installed it by using a sata adapter
[20:59] <Logimite> and flashing directly
[20:59] <v1adimir> ugh. what? :)
[20:59] <Logimite> so
[20:59] <Logimite> i took out the hard drive
[20:59] <Logimite> and i used an adaapter
[20:59] <Logimite> so i can flash the drive
[20:59] <Logimite> directly
[21:00] <Logimite> instead of using anything else
[21:00] <diogenes_> Logimite, what happens when you click 'device for bootloader installation"
[21:00] <Logimite> hmm?
[21:00] <Logimite> okay
[21:00] <Logimite> let me try it again
[21:00] <Logimite> where is that button
[21:00] <v1adimir> diogenes_: his "problem" is going to be wayyy beyond that, as he's "flashing" a HDD via a adapter...
[21:00] <v1adimir> xD
[21:01] <Logimite> what is wrong with that?
[21:01] <v1adimir> Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to begin, LOL
[21:01] <diogenes_> no clue what adapter is that.
[21:01] <v1adimir> ^^
[21:02] <Logimite> SATA
[21:02] <v1adimir> and, you know.. just, why. :)
[21:02] <Logimite> because
[21:02] <Logimite> i didnt know how to do it another way
[21:02] <v1adimir> um, that was rhetorical I swear
[21:03] <v1adimir> Logimite: how was your hard drive working before, what operating system did you have and are there any other drives in the system?
[21:03] <Logimite> so i flashed it on macos
[21:03] <diogenes_> Logimite, ok i hope guys in here will help you to figure out because at this point my brain is boiling, if you don't solve the issue come back again tomorrow.
[21:03] <Logimite> there were no other drives
[21:04] <Logimite> and there was no operating system
[21:04]  * diogenes_ is offline
[21:04] <v1adimir> ok and it's a SATA drive, plugged into the motherboard via a SATA cable?
[21:04] <Logimite> yes
[21:04] <v1adimir> (forget any "adapter" that you're talking about)
[21:05] <Logimite> so I should format the drive?
[21:06] <v1adimir> do you have access to another machine, preferably Windows so that you can make a bootable Xubuntu USB, using Rufus: https://rufus.ie/ ?
[21:06] <Logimite> hm
[21:06] <Logimite> okay
[21:06] <Logimite> I don't have a windows though
[21:06] <Logimite> so can I use etcher or unetbootin
[21:06] <Logimite> on mac
[21:07] <v1adimir> because there's NO reason that you wouldn't be able to reconnect your HDD normally, just the way it used to be - and, simply, install Xubuntu using its regular setup menus
[21:07] <Logimite> But I do not have any other operating systen
[21:07] <v1adimir> the Xunbutu (Ubuntu) installer is *very* good and the only thing that I can think of is that you made "a dodgy" USB
[21:08] <Logimite> on the laptop I am trying to install
[21:08] <Logimite> okay
[21:08] <Logimite> so it will boot if I use an external USB?
[21:08] <v1adimir> how else are you expecting to install the OS? :) via DVD drive?
[21:08] <Logimite> hmm
[21:08] <Logimite> Okay
[21:09] <Logimite> Wait, can I use a dvd?
[21:10] <v1adimir> Well, how did you load that setup in the video you uploaded?
[21:10] <Logimite> the sata
[21:11] <v1adimir> Oh, geez. :))
[21:11] <Logimite> okay right now I will take out the hard drivew
[21:11] <v1adimir> So, made a bootable installation from the Xubuntu on the HDD drive that you're trying to install to? xD
[21:11] <Logimite> yes
[21:11] <v1adimir> That's too crazy, lolz. :D
[21:12] <v1adimir> Wait.
[21:12] <v1adimir> Can you run a live system with it?
[21:12] <Logimite> yes
[21:12] <v1adimir> At least use it to create a bootable USB, right?
[21:12] <Logimite> I yes
[21:12] <Logimite> i already took it out though
[21:13] <v1adimir> Well I guess either etcher or unetbootin ^^ should suffice in creating a bootable USB and /or DVD for your installation.
[21:13] <Logimite> okay
[21:14] <v1adimir> The plug-in the drive back normally and boot the computer from that ^ USB /or DVD and simply install to the HDD
[21:14] <Logimite> okay
[21:14] <v1adimir> s/the/then
[21:14] <Logimite> but there is one problem
[21:14] <Logimite> my hard drive cannot be formattedd
[21:14] <Logimite> so should I just put a blank iso file on it?
[21:15] <v1adimir> no
[21:15] <v1adimir> look
[21:15] <Logimite> look at what?
[21:15] <v1adimir> 1) you need to use a Xubuntu ISO to create a bootable USB stick /or write it to a DVD.
[21:16] <v1adimir> 2) boot from that USB and install to the drive - use Xubuntu setup for ANY disk operations you may need - and IF for some reason it won't let you:
[21:16] <Logimite> so, I can just plug the hard drive back in?
[21:17] <v1adimir> 3) use the bootable USB to run a live system and install-and-use Gparted to simply remove all partitions from the HDD
[21:17] <Logimite> okay
[21:17] <v1adimir> you do NOT need to have any partitions on the HDD, nor do you need to format it: the Xubuntu setup does it all for you.
[21:17] <Logimite> okay
[21:18] <v1adimir> hope so :)
[21:20] <v1adimir> and don't (ever) use "dd" to make a bootable media from the ISO, btw.
[21:20] <v1adimir> when you get to those options, if
[21:20] <MrWarwakaEU> hi
[21:20] <v1adimir> o/
[21:20] <Logimite> waait, if i decide to use cd
[21:21] <Logimite> then how would I do that?
[21:21] <Logimite> so I flash the cd
[21:21] <MrWarwakaEU> Vladimir, vi russkij?
[21:21] <Logimite> and then I put it in the computer
[21:21] <v1adimir> MrWarwakaEU: Serbian :)
[21:21] <Logimite> and boot
[21:21] <v1adimir> Logimite: there's no "flashing" going on, I don't know what you mean by that.
[21:21] <MrWarwakaEU> XPEHOBA
[21:21] <Logimite> like in etch
[21:21] <Logimite> etcher
[21:22] <Logimite> like you put the os on the c
[21:22] <Logimite> cd
[21:22] <MrWarwakaEU> I dont speak serbian
[21:22] <MrWarwakaEU> blya
[21:22] <v1adimir> Right, it's retarded that they're calling it flashing
[21:22] <v1adimir> it's creating bootable media, from a ISO file
[21:23] <Logimite> oh
[21:23] <Logimite> so how would I do that with a cd?
[21:23] <v1adimir> same way as with a USB :)
[21:23] <Logimite> oh
[21:24] <Logimite> with the dvd though, it doesnt open until you start the computer
[21:24] <v1adimir> I don't know if etcher, or whatever is capable of doing it - perhaps best if you have a USB at hand (all data on it WILL be destroyed)
[21:25] <Logimite> well I know that etcher is capable of doing it
[21:25] <Logimite> and I dont really have a dvd on hand...
[21:25] <Logimite> oh!
[21:25] <Logimite> I know
[21:25] <Logimite> yes, I do have one
[21:25] <v1adimir> You use the computer BIOS to select what drive it will boot from, right..
[21:25] <Logimite> i dont know how to use bios
[21:26] <MrWarwakaEU> hi
[21:26] <MrWarwakaEU> is there any media palyer for linux that shows on autoradio the resolution of video beeing played the way BS player for windows do?
[21:26] <v1adimir> MrWarwakaEU: No idea, other than VLC
[21:27] <MrWarwakaEU> VLC dont do that
[21:27] <v1adimir> Logimite: Maybe you need to take a second, then, and figure out first how to get into your machine's BIOS and change the startup order. Usually it may already be set to boot from a USB/DVD first, by default, unless you've changed it.
[21:27] <Logimite> wait, my computer is restarting
[21:27] <Logimite> for some random reason
[21:28] <Logimite> is it possible for me to join again?
[21:28] <MrWarwakaEU> I dont mind
[21:28] <Logimite> I have stopped the reboot
[21:28] <v1adimir> Logimite: Yes, from here: https://webchat.freenode.net/
[21:28] <Logimite> The last time I tried that all the chat history was cleared
[21:29] <Logimite> actually,  I will reboot later
[21:29] <v1adimir> Or maybe something like https://www.irccloud.com/ from your phone, but you'd need to figure out how to get to chat.freenode.net
[21:29] <v1adimir> Easiest is to use the webchat
[21:29] <Logimite> okay
[21:31] <v1adimir> it's ok, there's no critical info here that you may miss later. :) you just need a bootable USB, to which you've loaded the xubuntu installation using unetbootin or whatever, and plug in the drive normally and install
[21:31] <Logimite> okay
[21:31] <v1adimir> careful the USB will be wiped
[21:31] <v1adimir> not sure if a 2GB one will do, but 4GB for sure will work
[21:32] <v1adimir> usb*
[21:32] <Logimite> okay
[21:33] <Logimite> i am using a 250gb one XD
[21:33] <v1adimir> that'll do :P
[21:34] <v1adimir> Logimite: if you just go for it (and don't change anything in the BIOS) and the computer doesn't start from the bootable USB = it can simply mean that it wasn't made right
[21:34] <Logimite> okay
[21:35] <Logimite> but are you sure that the internal hard drive doesn't need a wipe?
[21:35] <v1adimir> and there's usually, on newer machines, like you can press F11 or something to get a little manual menu during startup to select what drive to boot from just the one time
[21:35] <v1adimir> without getting into the BIOS at all
[21:35] <Logimite> I am on a 2004 laptop
[21:35] <v1adimir> ok that's probably NOT going to have it :)
[21:36] <Logimite> how do you go into bios?
[21:36] <v1adimir> bt u never know, check what flashes across the screen when starting you know that sort of thing, like at the bottom
[21:36] <v1adimir> usually it's F2, or the DEL key depending on the machine
[21:36] <v1adimir> sometimes it's ESC on some laptops
[21:37] <Logimite> okay
[21:37] <v1adimir> and just find the boot order there and like put the USB and /or DVD above your HDD - it means that whenever you have a bootable USB /DVD drive when starting the machine, it will load from there before the hard disk
[21:37] <Logimite> on mine it says the lenovo care button.
[21:37] <v1adimir> *plugged in
[21:37] <Logimite> any idea what that is?
[21:37] <v1adimir> no clue =)
[21:38] <Logimite> okay i am booting
[21:38] <v1adimir> did you make a bootable USB and return the HDD to its SATA cable to the motherboard? :)
[21:38] <Logimite> yes
[21:39] <v1adimir> oh! that was FAST, then. :$
[21:39] <Logimite> there was an option saying boot from first hard drive
[21:39] <Logimite> should I have done that?
[21:40] <v1adimir> right, it's a laptop... so HDD back into the case then..:) err, I don't know - see what's loading now?
[21:40] <Logimite> hmm
[21:40] <Logimite> same screen
[21:40] <Logimite> installing
[21:40] <v1adimir> because you have made the HDD into a bootable USB basically xD
[21:40] <v1adimir> so we don't know, lolz
[21:40] <Logimite> YES!
[21:41] <Logimite> it is bringing up a new screen
[21:41] <v1adimir> hm, well - hopefully!
[21:42] <v1adimir> you don't need any manual partition options - if you select the "automatic" install it will respect the amount of RAM you have and make the swap partition that same size and so on
[21:42] <v1adimir> it's all automagical in Xubuntu
[21:42] <Logimite> Woah
[21:42] <Logimite> it is installing
[21:42] <v1adimir> fingers crossed
[21:42] <Logimite> do you think xubuntu would run well on a 2004 laptop?
[21:43] <v1adimir> yeah, it should be decent
[21:43] <Logimite> wow
[21:44] <v1adimir> just install the uBlock Origin Add-on for Firefox to get rid of the ads
[21:44] <Logimite> hmm
[21:44] <Logimite> can you install Midori
[21:45] <Logimite> on xubuntu?
[21:45] <v1adimir> should be in there i think
[21:45] <Logimite> okay
[21:45] <v1adimir> "Midori is part of the Xfce desktop environment's Goodies componenthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_(web_browser)
[21:45] <v1adimir> bt I've never used it, so idk.
[21:46] <Logimite> okay
[21:46] <Logimite> is it normal to take this much time to install?
[21:46] <v1adimir> after a while you'll get a button somewhere on the bottom right, something like that to skip the rest of the install - but I don't know by heart, don't wanna say something wrong
[21:47] <v1adimir> and if the drive isn't a SSD then yeah it can take a while
[21:47] <v1adimir> and also how fast is your internet..
[21:47] <Logimite> very. fast
[21:47] <Logimite> and it is ethernet
[21:47] <Logimite> and its a hard drive
[21:48] <Logimite> it is stuck on Creating ext4 file system for / in partition #5 of SCSI5
[21:48] <v1adimir> ugh
[21:48] <v1adimir> you may have booted from the HDD again, then
[21:48] <Logimite> oh no
[21:48] <v1adimir> rly not sure sry
[21:49] <Logimite> but i got farther than last time
[21:49] <v1adimir> partitioning shouldn't take that long at all, I can tell you that much. :)
[21:49] <Logimite> oh no....
[21:49] <Logimite> should i shut down?
[21:50] <v1adimir> i guess and see how to change the boot order from the bios
[21:50] <v1adimir> try DEL /F2 /Esc when first powering on - just tap the buttons a lot
[21:51] <v1adimir> and CTRL+ALT+DEL if you miss it and try again /different keys
[21:51] <Logimite> okay
[21:51] <v1adimir> and CAREFUL with the BIOS, lol, don't rush anything in there. :) no putting any passwords, or anything crazy like that xD
[21:52] <Logimite> okay
[21:52] <v1adimir> you don't need to DISABLE any devices - just switch the boot order around
[21:52] <Logimite> What should I do in bios
[21:53] <Logimite> I got to boot orddder
[21:53] <v1adimir> (and save on close, usually it's F10 to save and close)
[21:53] <v1adimir> well, raise the USB drive above the HDD in boot order, right?
[21:53] <v1adimir> you want it to boot from your USB setup first
[21:53] <Logimite> let me show you a pic how it works
[21:53] <Logimite> *looks
[21:54] <Logimite> not workss
[21:54] <v1adimir> https://imgbb.com/
[21:54] <v1adimir> we are spamming this channel's logs BIG time by the way, lolz :f
[21:55] <Logimite> https://ibb.co/dbSctP2
[21:56] <v1adimir> ok so the USBx ones you need to move 'em up... try + or something?
[21:56] <Logimite> okay
[21:56] <v1adimir> not the "USB FDD"
[21:56] <Logimite> usb hdd?
[21:56] <v1adimir> i think so
[21:56] <v1adimir> and "key" for good measure maybe
[21:57] <Logimite> I do not see key
[21:57] <v1adimir> "USB KEY"
[21:57] <Logimite> oh
[21:57] <Logimite> odd?
[21:57] <v1adimir> nah
[21:57] <v1adimir> no need whatever that is
[21:57] <Logimite> okay
[21:57] <v1adimir> then just F10 I think to save and close and blast off!
[21:57] <Logimite> i did it
[21:58] <Logimite> now rebooting
[21:58] <v1adimir> maybe you need to press a key when you reboot, to launch USB setup, like any key? does it prompt something like that?
[21:58] <v1adimir> just see
[21:58] <Logimite> it says lenovo care
[21:58] <Logimite> and i see this weird button outside keyboard
[21:59] <Logimite> maybe i press that
[21:59] <v1adimir> nah, hopefully it's booting from the USB now
[21:59] <v1adimir> you can always start the live system and not the setup directly
[21:59] <v1adimir> and see what's going on
[21:59] <Logimite> hmm it is now giving me a black screen with a blinking terminal thing
[21:59] <v1adimir> perfect
[22:00] <Logimite> well,  it is not doing anything
[22:00] <v1adimir> that means you're booting from the USB and it's not made correctly - just use a different program to make a bootable USV
[22:00] <v1adimir> bootable USB from the Xubuntu iso
[22:00] <v1adimir> and you're good to go
[22:00] <Logimite> okay
[22:00] <Logimite> unetbootin
[22:00] <v1adimir> i guess? :)
[22:01] <v1adimir> i never understood how many new versions of etcher with their fancy website will they need to make - to actually have a working product. xD
[22:01] <Logimite> yes
[22:01] <Logimite> unetbootin is ugly but it is good
[22:01] <v1adimir> it's been like that for years, I don't get it. :f
[22:02] <v1adimir> alright just highlight me if you get stuck again. gl! :)
[22:02] <v1adimir> v1adimir: << like that
[22:03] <Logimite> v1adimir it does not worj
[22:03] <Logimite> work
[22:03] <v1adimir> unetbootin?
[22:03] <Logimite> yes
[22:03] <v1adimir> you mean from another machine?
[22:03] <Logimite> hmm?
[22:03] <v1adimir> how are you going to make the bootable USB?
[22:03] <Logimite> unetbootin is not recognizing
[22:03] <Logimite> so i will use etcher?
[22:04] <v1adimir> now I'm not sure again if we're on planet Earth together. =) are you on a different machine now, to make the bootable USB?
[22:04] <Logimite> yes
[22:04] <v1adimir> ok on unetbootin can't recognize your new huge usb? :(
[22:05] <v1adimir> well, ****
[22:05] <Logimite> I turned on unsafe mode on etcher
[22:05] <v1adimir> maybe try etcher i don't know, i make 'em via windows using Rufus always - can't remember the last time I've used anything else sorry
[22:06] <v1adimir> gonna eat something b4 i pass out
[22:06] <Logimite> okay
[22:09] <Logimite> bootin
[22:09] <Logimite> booting
[22:19] <Logimite> hmm it still doesnt work
[22:21] <Logimite> hello?
[22:23] <Logimite> hmm i think that he left
[22:23] <Logimite> has he>
[22:23] <Logimite> or has he not
[22:23] <Logimite> has he
[22:23] <Logimite> or has he not
[22:25] <Logimite> helo
[22:25] <Logimite> dasw
[22:28] <v1adimir> Logimite: You see how on the Rufus website https://rufus.ie/ that first screenshot shows MBR and BIOS/UEFI
[22:28] <Logimite> hmm
[22:28] <Logimite> yes
[22:29] <v1adimir> There's a difference between a UEFI install and a regular BIOS which you have and if you use a (modern) tool like Etcher it will always default to making a UEFI bootable media and that's why it's not working.
[22:29] <Logimite> okay
[22:29] <v1adimir> If you can believe it..
[22:29] <Logimite> so should we use  unetbootin?
[22:29] <Logimite> it didnt work
[22:30] <v1adimir> it doesn't see your USB drive is that it?
[22:30] <Logimite> yes
[22:30] <v1adimir> yea, that's messed up :( you'll have to look for a different tool and maybe someone here can help
[22:31] <Logimite> OH!
[22:31] <Logimite> I know what is wrong
[22:31] <Logimite> it says you should reformat it aas fat32
[22:31] <Logimite> so that it can reaad
[22:31] <v1adimir> sry I don't use the tools, so don't know by heart
[22:32] <Logimite> I know how but it will be difficult...
[22:32] <Logimite> well, thank you
[22:33] <Logimite> i will try on my own
[22:33] <Logimite> and tell you if it workss
[22:33] <v1adimir> Yeah man, good luck. :)
[22:33] <Logimite> wait what?
[22:33] <Logimite> unet bootin is acting weird
[22:33] <Logimite> something happened
[22:33] <Logimite> and it started writing
[22:33] <Logimite> hmm.
[22:33] <Logimite> that is weird!
[22:34] <v1adimir> look if you want 100% bulletproof way (and this is retarded), then:
[22:34] <v1adimir> on your other linux machine you can always install the oracle VM and install windows and use Rufus within it to make the USB. :))
[22:34] <Logimite> okay.
[22:34] <Logimite> but that is just...
[22:35] <Logimite> very stretched out
[22:35] <v1adimir> but, I mean.. That's crazy, for whoever else is reading they may wanna kick me in the butt for even suggesting it. =)
[22:35] <v1adimir> or
[22:35] <v1adimir> if you have a DVD writer on your other machine, use some other software to write a bootable dvd from the xubuntu iso
[22:36] <Logimite> okay
[22:36] <Logimite> i have that
[22:36] <Logimite> IT INSTALLED
[22:36] <Logimite> let me try it
[22:36] <v1adimir> whatever program that may be idk. https://www.google.com/search?q=xubuntu+make+bootable+dvd =) ah, ok
[22:36] <Logimite> oof i forgot to eject
[22:37] <Logimite> will that corrupt it?
[22:37] <v1adimir> hopefully not, if it was done writing /caching everything xD
[22:37] <Logimite> okay
[22:38] <Logimite> it says this is not a bootable disk
[22:38] <Logimite> on the laptop
[22:38] <Logimite> oof
[22:38] <v1adimir> yeah, certain unetbootin versions work with certain ISOs and certain USB drives, that's just the way it is (another totally insane thing, which is true)
[22:39] <Logimite> oh
[22:39] <v1adimir> it's like disneyland, except in hell :D
[22:39] <Logimite> XD
[22:41] <v1adimir> you have a blank DVD, have you checked if your other ubuntu computer can do this? https://tutonics.com/2012/07/how-to-create-bootable-live-cddvd.html (the first half of the page, it's automatic)
[22:41] <Logimite> i have an elementaryos computer
[22:41] <v1adimir> there's even "Steps for creating a Live CD with MacOS"
[22:41] <Logimite> hmm
[22:41] <Logimite> well elementaryos is based on ubuntu
[22:42] <Logimite> i will try
[22:42] <v1adimir> Maybe the sotware is there, if you're lucky
[22:42] <Logimite> okay
[22:43] <v1adimir> and if you *do* make a DVD, you'll have to move your BIOS order https://ibb.co/dbSctP2
[22:43] <v1adimir> to boot from dvd first...
[22:44] <Logimite> okay
[22:45] <v1adimir> if it asks you for write speed on the dvd, use the lowest possible or "failsafe" or whatever, not the highest
[22:46] <v1adimir> like, literally 4X or whatever it is
[22:46] <v1adimir> dont select test, dont verify data..
[22:47] <Logimite> okay
[22:47] <Logimite> do you  have discord?
[22:47] <v1adimir> I have Telegram /Signal
[22:48] <Logimite> what???
[22:48] <v1adimir> Like Viber, on my cell phone
[22:49] <v1adimir> discord is *horrible*
[22:50] <Logimite> oh
[22:50] <v1adimir> .. there's so much scripting to it, it doesn't even run in my protected Firefox. :$
[22:50] <Logimite> oh
[22:51] <v1adimir> and there's no way I'm using any app of it, or anything crazy like that, hehe
[22:51] <v1adimir> :f
[22:51] <v1adimir> did you see my /query /private message? :)
[22:52] <Logimite> oh
