[01:39] <mx6523> are there any apps in the official repository that can use an ISO to make a bootable USB drive without requiring to use Ubuntu?
[01:41] <mx6523> unetbootin doesn't detect anything to write the ISO to
[01:41] <oerheks> unetbootin is garbage
[01:41] <oerheks> !usb
[01:42] <mx6523> I was trying on making something like live USB on an SD card
[06:31] <Guest2787> Hey everyone :) I need some help installing Lubuntu, since I can only do a manual installation
[06:31] <Guest2787> It asks me to do a manual setup, so if anyone can help me out that would be great
[06:31] <guiverc> what release, and what architecture
[06:32] <guiverc> and have you tried the Lubuntu manaul - https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/Installing_lubuntu.html
[06:33] <Guest2787> The manual doesn't give any info regarding manual install (i.e how to properly partition everything)
[06:33] <Guest2787> release 20.04
[06:33] <Guest2787> 64 bit
[06:34] <guiverc> what questions to you have (amd64 is likely the architecture you mean)
[06:34] <Guest2787> Just in general how should I properly partition my HD so it'll install it
[06:34] <Guest2787> MBR or PGT? How much for swap? All that stuff
[06:35] <Guest2787> Or disregard that and create new partitions?
[06:35] <guiverc> the best partitioning layout depends on needs, single partition is probably easiest (plus uEFI if box is uefi setup), seperate home is optional (I like it), and swapfile is usually opted for, though I do still use swap partition on some boxes (dual boot so they can share)
[06:36] <guiverc> one advantage of swap file is you can change if required... yes swap partitions require planning...
[06:36] <Guest2787> I just want a clean install, no hassel, no swap partition plan. I don't plan on dual boot :)
[06:36] <Guest2787> I got 29 gb hd
[06:36] <guiverc> if >2TB drive it should be GPT, if secure boot it should be GPT generally
[06:37] <guiverc> for old box; I still prefer MBR (mainly b/c I know it better; little difference probably)
[06:38] <Guest2787> So how would I got about it? I got 29GB and will use GPT (cause it's more secure)
[06:39] <guiverc> if box is old (29gb sounds old) & BIOS, I'd opt for single partition... using default installation is usually easiest, let it decide, then after that install, looking at what it created/utilized, and re-install yourself (manually) following that guide adjust as necessary maybe
[06:40] <Guest2787> The reason behind 29gb is because of the computer itself. It's a new(ish?) HP Stream model, and it comes with a small size HD
[06:40] <Guest2787> So GPT is preffered
[06:41] <Guest2787> And if I had the option of auto-install, I would have never come here in the first place :P
[06:46] <guiverc> okay, an install on a netbook has SDA1 300MB FAT32 and SDA2  EXT4 system (everything else)
[06:46] <guiverc> the system I grabbed is UEFI, and only flag I see is BIOS-GRUB on sda1 (efi /boot partition)
[06:46] <Guest2787> OK :) Mind asking why the 300MB FAT32 for?
[06:48] <guiverc> I grabbed a UEFI netbook installation; that is default installation; /boot/efi for UEFI booting
[06:48] <Guest2787> Umm so I fixed the "issue": just had to unmount my HD and it will auto install itself
[06:48] <Guest2787> Sorry for all the trouble ^_^
[06:49] <guiverc> if any SWAP is mounted, you cannot use the disk, so unmounting swap is essential (booting a 'live' drive can automount swap to increase performance..)
[06:49] <guiverc> and not any trouble
[06:51] <Guest2787> So auto install does 300MB FAT32 and the rest is ext4
[06:51] <Guest2787> Whatever mount points it creates I'll leave it to be
[06:52] <guiverc> it did for my system; sorry I don't know it's coding rules so grabbed a recent QA-test install (groovy actually or next release) & just mentioned what it auto-created for a default install
[06:54] <Guest2787> Sounds great
[06:54] <Guest2787> Thanks for all your help guiverc ^_^
[06:54] <guiverc> you're most welcome (delays are b/c I'm doing other things too sorry)
[06:55] <Guest2787> Don't sweat it :)
[09:31] <Mic> Hello I'm trying to install Lubuntu 20.04 on my old laptop via usb. When I try to install I'm not able to load the system by usb. Appear a screen wit written lubuntu 18.04 and after a while everything stops
[09:31] <Mic> can someone kindly help me? Thanks so much!
[09:40] <guiverc> If you're trying to install Lubuntu 20.04, I don't understand your reference to 18.04 sorry
[09:40] <guiverc> Mic, ^
[09:50] <Mic> after that a black screen appear with other check an it stops after this message: [177.138786] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:0f corb reset timeout#1, corbro = 0
[09:51] <Mic> the same usb worked fine on other notebook
[09:51] <guiverc> which release, you mention two (20.04 & 18.04), and did you verify your ISO download & write to install media?
[09:52] <Mic> I loaded on usb Lubuntu 20.04 with rufus
[09:53] <guiverc> did the media check complete successfully?
[09:55] <Mic> yes with the same usb I've installed Lubuntu in another notebook
[09:56] <guiverc> No I mean the media check on 20.04 which verifies the write of ISO to media; checks squashfs checksums match, then reports valid/okay - did it complete; if it didn't or you didn't see message, the write is possibly faulty (installing on another box is really only valid test if other box hardware is identical)
[10:02] <Mic> this is what happens:https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZEPCBUYRQws5uVgV9
[10:02] <Mic> at the end it says no errors found
[10:02] <guiverc> Why does the screen sa Lubuntu 18.10, it's EOL
[10:03] <guiverc> https://lubuntu.me/cosmic-etc-eol/
[10:03] <guiverc> that was the check I was referring to, but Lubuntu 18.10 is EOL (end-of-life and unsupported)
[10:03] <Mic> I'dont know
[10:05] <guiverc> The Lubuntu website is lubuntu.me, downloads come from https://lubuntu.me/downloads/   (don't ask google where to download, it can send you elsewhere)
[10:05] <guiverc> for official sites, I'd recommend asking ubuntu.com (ie. https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) as that's under Canonical control & will send you official sites for any Ubuntu flavor/flavour
[10:08] <guiverc> the reason I'm highlighting site, is other sites do offer EOL releases as changed rarely... If you're seeing a 18.10 screen like what I see in the picure; I'd not trust it & be thankful it's not installed; try again with an Official Lubuntu 20.04 LTS release from https://lubuntu.me/downloads/  (use 18.04 LTS if you're machine is 32-bit only)
[10:09] <guiverc> fyi: if it gets stuck at that screen, I'd suspect the write to media was faulty, OR you have an unofficial/tainted Lubuntu image (esp. if it was said to be an official & current ISO)
[10:11] <Mic> anyway, I'll try to do it all over again
[10:12] <guiverc> Wishing you the bes of luck Mic
[10:13] <Mic> thank for your help
[10:13] <guiverc> :)
[10:13] <Mic> you have been so gentle
[10:25] <Mic> same issue :(
[10:25] <guiverc> with 20.04?
[10:26] <Mic> yes
[10:28] <guiverc> you mentioned rufus to write ISO to media, I've never used it, but I'll provide https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview  (I think rufus is used by windows users, why I'm giving that & I find media write the most common issue)
[10:29] <guiverc> If you have another box, I'd do the verify step on that... if it fails on that box too I'd blame media write (or ISO was corrupt), if it passes on the 2nd box - it's hardware issue (kernel module or driver issue etc) on box you want to install on (fyi: not install on other box, just media check & 'try lubuntu' then shutdown)
[10:30] <guiverc> to verify the ISO post-download - I'll provide https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu#0   (some download methods do verify post-download automatically, but browsers usually don't)
[10:31] <guiverc> (download issues are rare; unlikely here given you've had it occur 2x isos.. but verification is quick (depending on OS used to verify)
[10:34] <Mic> I'm pretty sure that the media wrtite was fine, Ive also tryed different usb and different media writer like usb universal installer
[10:35] <guiverc> I would suggest doing the verify on another box... the image you showed on 18.10 was media check failing to complete - which means corrupted media or bad download in most cases (faulty hardware can cause it too..)
[10:36] <guiverc> no video drivers etc are really in play there.. it's pre-real-system-boot which occurs after completion
[10:40] <Mic> I'll check the ISO but I think that the problem is in the notebook's hardware, because in other notebook the installation was fine
[10:41] <Mic> the strange thing is that lubuntu 18 works fine
[10:42] <guiverc> your box is amd64 (x86_64) isn't it?  how much RAM do you have?
[10:43] <guiverc> fyi: amd64 is because AMD created it, it applies to intel 64bit too
[10:46] <Mic> is amd64 (intel celeron d220) with 3 GB of RAM
[10:49] <guiverc> I don't know the cpu & have had little-no experience with celerons from that era sorry.  if kernel had issues with your cpu though I'd expect errors & not what you've experienced
[10:51]  * guiverc is booting what I believe to be a 20.04.1 image on intel atom n270; similar era cpu - yep clear message that it won't boot unlike your screen
[10:57] <Mic> I was able to in stall it on asus aspire one with aton n450
[11:00] <guiverc> I'm at a loss Mic, if you ignore ISO & media write - hardware is the other option I've suggested... but you said 18.04 installed to that box..  I'd try a ramcheck (let it run a few times to ensure it's good & system is stable)
[11:15] <Mic> guiverc thank you for your intrest and your support
[13:42] <tomreyn> Mathias Castillo shikdar: please post your off-topic phishing attempts elsewhere

 @guiverc thank you sir. I recovered everything with Testdisk tool
 im on lubuntu how to know the detail about the memory used, manufacture & specification?
 @chikatambun [im on lubuntu how to know the detail about the memory used, manufacture & specif …], Search "info"
[16:07] <willyg_cos> lubot, try cat /proc/meminfo
[16:07] <oerheks> dmidecode, perhaps?
[16:07] <oerheks> why do you need that info?
 @oerheks [<oerheks> dmidecode, perhaps?], thanks, got hynix here
 i have k43sj  board i want to upgrade the memory... will it support 1600MHz...? now the installed memory using 1333MHz
[16:16] <oerheks> check with the mobo manual, what configuration is possible
[16:16] <oerheks> not an ubuntu issue, try ##hardware for help ??
