| gnoob | Hello everyone, I am looking to set up xubuntu on my windows box. Usually I would install Virtualbox but was wondering if there is an alternate recommended way? I tried WSL and it did not meet my needs. | 19:52 |
| diogenes_ | gnoob, dual boot? | 19:54 |
| gnoob | yeah, that's one option... | 19:54 |
| gnoob | I should think about aswap and run xubuntu and windows in a VM. | 19:55 |
| diogenes_ | gnoob, another way is a persistent USB drive. | 19:57 |
| gnoob | True that's a reasonable suggestion, i have not tried on of those in a while. I know before they used to seem a bit unstable, at least for me. Always a noob.. not sure I want to be in teh dual boot game anymore. swapping from one OS to another completely. | 19:59 |
| xubuntu84i | hello | 20:00 |
| diogenes_ | !hi | xubuntu84i | 20:00 |
| ubottu | xubuntu84i: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 20:00 |
| xubuntu84i | didn't know xubuntu is this popular | 20:02 |
| xubuntu84i | ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) | 20:04 |
| gnoob | yup, some people even make it their user name. | 20:04 |
| xubuntu84i | (y) | 20:05 |
| xubuntu84i | just installing it | 20:06 |
| xubuntu84i | goodbye finished installing, restarting now. | 20:08 |
| gnoob | he never came back... hopefully he is OK... :) | 21:19 |
| sorcerer | lol | 21:21 |
| gnoob | hey, i am trying to get xubuntu installed on VirtualBox machine from an .ISO. This is the second time it's say it has failed. "This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive." | 21:43 |
| gnoob | any suggestions? | 21:43 |
| krytarik | Check the ISO hash? | 21:44 |
| gnoob | krytarik, i will look at that now. | 21:47 |
| gnoob | krytarik: do you know how to check the hash on window 10? | 21:50 |
| gnoob | OK, I got it | 21:51 |
| gnoob | krytarik: I pulled the file called MD5SUMS from the mirror and opened it in notepade. This number matches the one I generated from the command certutil -hashfile D:\Downloads\xubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso MD5 | 21:53 |
| gnoob | MD5 hash of D:\Downloads\xubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso: | 21:53 |
| gnoob | c8977ce50d175dfce8e309dcaef8f1b3 | 21:53 |
| gnoob | CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully. | 21:53 |
| krytarik | Well, ok then.. | 21:54 |
| gnoob | :) | 21:54 |
| krytarik | And I'm not sure what else to suggest. >_< | 21:55 |
| gnoob | krytarik: thanks | 21:58 |
| krytarik | Since you seem to be already both registered and on #ubuntu, I would suggest asking there too though. | 22:00 |
| gnoob | Hmm, it might have something to do with having tried to install WSL. However, i uninstalled that | 22:00 |
| gnoob | not sure If I rebooted since the uninstall. Maybe. | 22:01 |
| gnoob | I think I am going to reboot real fast. I need to get something like ZNC set up one day. | 22:03 |
| gnoob | OK, round 3, lets see. :) | 22:07 |
| gnoob | This time I noticed it said that there was an error with three files, when the machine was booting. i am going to delete the ISO and redownload. Even though the hash matched. | 22:10 |
| tomreyn | how much ram did you allocate to the VM= | 22:11 |
| tomreyn | ? | 22:11 |
| gnoob | 1GB | 22:12 |
| gnoob | That was the default | 22:12 |
| gnoob | downloading 1.5GB in just about 2 minutes. So much nicer than the old days... | 22:17 |
| tomreyn | gnoob: 1 GB is insufficient, see the minimum requirements | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | hmm actually https://xubuntu.org/requirements/ says 512 MB, but i assume this may be no longer correct. | 22:24 |
| tomreyn | i'd go for 1 GB, 1.5 at least | 22:24 |
| tomreyn | typo: i'd go for 2 GB, 1.5 at least | 22:24 |
| gnoob | tomreyn: 1GB was the minimum that Virtualbox assigned. Sorry.. | 22:25 |
| tomreyn | gnoob: yes i think that's probably not enough | 22:25 |
| tomreyn | and the errors you're seeing would be a result of it | 22:25 |
| gnoob | It seems to be working. I think the new image from a different mirror helped. I can always bump up the RAM later. | 22:25 |
| gnoob | after it reboots I will look into increasing. | 22:26 |
| gnoob | OK, I am in. Thanks for the assistance tomreyn. | 22:28 |
| tomreyn | nice, so i was wrong | 22:29 |
| gnoob | :), I am not saying that. It's still at 1GB however, I will see how it run. CHecking the hash was a good idea. Not sure why it matched if the file was bad. | 22:30 |
