[15:25] Celso: you mean the kernel console [15:25] Celso: https://www.tecmint.com/change-console-fonts-in-ubuntu-server/ [15:26] increase the font size on the console. [15:26] see the link I pasted [15:27] pmjdebruijn: thank you [15:33] It looks like it's already set to 8x18.

[20:40] Logimite: Sure, we can try that and see what we can determine. [20:41] okay [20:41] https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oJpo9WUIdiiGNp4mzIffMjEAQRlfTxJE/view?usp=sharing [20:42] is anybody on?

[20:43] or youtube [20:43] hmm [20:43] okay [20:45] it says files are too large [20:45] so i cant upload to imgur [20:47] sorry i disconnectedd [20:48] can you please help me? [20:48] with the thing i said earlier [20:48] 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] hmm [20:49] i thought i said it earlier [20:49] and i disconnectedd [20:49] and i came back [20:49] okay i think that this video should explain my error [20:49] this is while installing xubuntu [20:49] irclogs.ubuntu.com [20:49] oh not that [20:49] easy, there, killa :P [20:49] Logimite: At this point all we know is there is some error - so vauge there is nothing to go on. [20:49] https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oJpo9WUIdiiGNp4mzIffMjEAQRlfTxJE/view?usp=sharing [20:49] here [20:49] it is while installation [20:50] You need access [20:50] Ask for access, or switch to an account with access. [20:50] how do I do that [20:50] I am installing xubuntu [20:50] i dont have account [20:51] maybe try https://postimages.org/ or https://imgbb.com/ [20:51] Logimite: No ides of what google drive could have to do with an xubuntu install. [20:51] it is a video [20:52] so i cant share with any of those site [20:52] idea* [20:52] okay let me put it on yt [20:53] https://youtu.be/gf1cxQsltsw [20:53] this is it [20:54] this is my error [20:55] hello? [20:55] is anybody on? [20:56] Logimite, patience please. [20:56] okay [20:56] nobody but us chickens here [20:56] I am very sorry [20:57] Logimite: Sorry - I can not make out what the video portrays. [20:57] it is my error during installation [20:57] when I am trying to install it [20:57] it closes the window [20:57] when i have the partition error [20:58] Logimite: is it a blank drive you're installing to, or? [20:59] i installed it by using a sata adapter [20:59] and flashing directly [20:59] ugh. what? :) [20:59] so [20:59] i took out the hard drive [20:59] and i used an adaapter [20:59] so i can flash the drive [20:59] directly [21:00] instead of using anything else [21:00] Logimite, what happens when you click 'device for bootloader installation" [21:00] hmm? [21:00] okay [21:00] let me try it again [21:00] where is that button [21:00] diogenes_: his "problem" is going to be wayyy beyond that, as he's "flashing" a HDD via a adapter... [21:00] xD [21:01] what is wrong with that? [21:01] Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to begin, LOL [21:01] no clue what adapter is that. [21:01] ^^ [21:02] SATA [21:02] and, you know.. just, why. :) [21:02] because [21:02] i didnt know how to do it another way [21:02] um, that was rhetorical I swear [21:03] 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] so i flashed it on macos [21:03] 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] there were no other drives [21:04] and there was no operating system [21:04] * diogenes_ is offline [21:04] ok and it's a SATA drive, plugged into the motherboard via a SATA cable? [21:04] yes [21:04] (forget any "adapter" that you're talking about) [21:05] so I should format the drive? [21:06] 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] hm [21:06] okay [21:06] I don't have a windows though [21:06] so can I use etcher or unetbootin [21:06] on mac [21:07] 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] But I do not have any other operating systen [21:07] 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] on the laptop I am trying to install [21:08] okay [21:08] so it will boot if I use an external USB? [21:08] how else are you expecting to install the OS? :) via DVD drive? [21:08] hmm [21:08] Okay [21:09] Wait, can I use a dvd? [21:10] Well, how did you load that setup in the video you uploaded? [21:10] the sata [21:11] Oh, geez. :)) [21:11] okay right now I will take out the hard drivew [21:11] So, made a bootable installation from the Xubuntu on the HDD drive that you're trying to install to? xD [21:11] yes [21:11] That's too crazy, lolz. :D [21:12] Wait. [21:12] Can you run a live system with it? [21:12] yes [21:12] At least use it to create a bootable USB, right? [21:12] I yes [21:12] i already took it out though [21:13] Well I guess either etcher or unetbootin ^^ should suffice in creating a bootable USB and /or DVD for your installation. [21:13] okay [21:14] The plug-in the drive back normally and boot the computer from that ^ USB /or DVD and simply install to the HDD [21:14] okay [21:14] s/the/then [21:14] but there is one problem [21:14] my hard drive cannot be formattedd [21:14] so should I just put a blank iso file on it? [21:15] no [21:15] look [21:15] look at what? [21:15] 1) you need to use a Xubuntu ISO to create a bootable USB stick /or write it to a DVD. [21:16] 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] so, I can just plug the hard drive back in? [21:17] 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] okay [21:17] 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] okay [21:18] hope so :) [21:20] and don't (ever) use "dd" to make a bootable media from the ISO, btw. [21:20] when you get to those options, if [21:20] hi [21:20] o/ [21:20] waait, if i decide to use cd [21:21] then how would I do that? [21:21] so I flash the cd [21:21] Vladimir, vi russkij? [21:21] and then I put it in the computer [21:21] MrWarwakaEU: Serbian :) [21:21] and boot [21:21] Logimite: there's no "flashing" going on, I don't know what you mean by that. [21:21] XPEHOBA [21:21] like in etch [21:21] etcher [21:22] like you put the os on the c [21:22] cd [21:22] I dont speak serbian [21:22] blya [21:22] Right, it's retarded that they're calling it flashing [21:22] it's creating bootable media, from a ISO file [21:23] oh [21:23] so how would I do that with a cd? [21:23] same way as with a USB :) [21:23] oh [21:24] with the dvd though, it doesnt open until you start the computer [21:24] 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] well I know that etcher is capable of doing it [21:25] and I dont really have a dvd on hand... [21:25] oh! [21:25] I know [21:25] yes, I do have one [21:25] You use the computer BIOS to select what drive it will boot from, right.. [21:25] i dont know how to use bios [21:26] hi [21:26] 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] MrWarwakaEU: No idea, other than VLC [21:27] VLC dont do that [21:27] 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] wait, my computer is restarting [21:27] for some random reason [21:28] is it possible for me to join again? [21:28] I dont mind [21:28] I have stopped the reboot [21:28] Logimite: Yes, from here: https://webchat.freenode.net/ [21:28] The last time I tried that all the chat history was cleared [21:29] actually, I will reboot later [21:29] 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] Easiest is to use the webchat [21:29] okay [21:31] 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] okay [21:31] careful the USB will be wiped [21:31] not sure if a 2GB one will do, but 4GB for sure will work [21:32] usb* [21:32] okay [21:33] i am using a 250gb one XD [21:33] that'll do :P [21:34] 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] okay [21:35] but are you sure that the internal hard drive doesn't need a wipe? [21:35] 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] without getting into the BIOS at all [21:35] I am on a 2004 laptop [21:35] ok that's probably NOT going to have it :) [21:36] how do you go into bios? [21:36] bt u never know, check what flashes across the screen when starting you know that sort of thing, like at the bottom [21:36] usually it's F2, or the DEL key depending on the machine [21:36] sometimes it's ESC on some laptops [21:37] okay [21:37] 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] on mine it says the lenovo care button. [21:37] *plugged in [21:37] any idea what that is? [21:37] no clue =) [21:38] okay i am booting [21:38] did you make a bootable USB and return the HDD to its SATA cable to the motherboard? :) [21:38] yes [21:39] oh! that was FAST, then. :$ [21:39] there was an option saying boot from first hard drive [21:39] should I have done that? [21:40] right, it's a laptop... so HDD back into the case then..:) err, I don't know - see what's loading now? [21:40] hmm [21:40] same screen [21:40] installing [21:40] because you have made the HDD into a bootable USB basically xD [21:40] so we don't know, lolz [21:40] YES! [21:41] it is bringing up a new screen [21:41] hm, well - hopefully! [21:42] 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] it's all automagical in Xubuntu [21:42] Woah [21:42] it is installing [21:42] fingers crossed [21:42] do you think xubuntu would run well on a 2004 laptop? [21:43] yeah, it should be decent [21:43] wow [21:44] just install the uBlock Origin Add-on for Firefox to get rid of the ads [21:44] hmm [21:44] can you install Midori [21:45] on xubuntu? [21:45] should be in there i think [21:45] okay [21:45] "Midori is part of the Xfce desktop environment's Goodies componenthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_(web_browser) [21:45] bt I've never used it, so idk. [21:46] okay [21:46] is it normal to take this much time to install? [21:46] 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] and if the drive isn't a SSD then yeah it can take a while [21:47] and also how fast is your internet.. [21:47] very. fast [21:47] and it is ethernet [21:47] and its a hard drive [21:48] it is stuck on Creating ext4 file system for / in partition #5 of SCSI5 [21:48] ugh [21:48] you may have booted from the HDD again, then [21:48] oh no [21:48] rly not sure sry [21:49] but i got farther than last time [21:49] partitioning shouldn't take that long at all, I can tell you that much. :) [21:49] oh no.... [21:49] should i shut down? [21:50] i guess and see how to change the boot order from the bios [21:50] try DEL /F2 /Esc when first powering on - just tap the buttons a lot [21:51] and CTRL+ALT+DEL if you miss it and try again /different keys [21:51] okay [21:51] and CAREFUL with the BIOS, lol, don't rush anything in there. :) no putting any passwords, or anything crazy like that xD [21:52] okay [21:52] you don't need to DISABLE any devices - just switch the boot order around [21:52] What should I do in bios [21:53] I got to boot orddder [21:53] (and save on close, usually it's F10 to save and close) [21:53] well, raise the USB drive above the HDD in boot order, right? [21:53] you want it to boot from your USB setup first [21:53] let me show you a pic how it works [21:53] *looks [21:54] not workss [21:54] https://imgbb.com/ [21:54] we are spamming this channel's logs BIG time by the way, lolz :f [21:55] https://ibb.co/dbSctP2 [21:56] ok so the USBx ones you need to move 'em up... try + or something? [21:56] okay [21:56] not the "USB FDD" [21:56] usb hdd? [21:56] i think so [21:56] and "key" for good measure maybe [21:57] I do not see key [21:57] "USB KEY" [21:57] oh [21:57] odd? [21:57] nah [21:57] no need whatever that is [21:57] okay [21:57] then just F10 I think to save and close and blast off! [21:57] i did it [21:58] now rebooting [21:58] 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] just see [21:58] it says lenovo care [21:58] and i see this weird button outside keyboard [21:59] maybe i press that [21:59] nah, hopefully it's booting from the USB now [21:59] you can always start the live system and not the setup directly [21:59] and see what's going on [21:59] hmm it is now giving me a black screen with a blinking terminal thing [21:59] perfect [22:00] well, it is not doing anything [22:00] 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] bootable USB from the Xubuntu iso [22:00] and you're good to go [22:00] okay [22:00] unetbootin [22:00] i guess? :) [22:01] 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] yes [22:01] unetbootin is ugly but it is good [22:01] it's been like that for years, I don't get it. :f [22:02] alright just highlight me if you get stuck again. gl! :) [22:02] v1adimir: << like that [22:03] v1adimir it does not worj [22:03]
