| tomreyn | !backup | 00:00 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup, !borg, and !cloning | 00:00 |
| tomreyn | for this one-time backup use case, i'd probably just use rsync or tar | 00:00 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> Thanks a lot! rsync or tar then | 00:01 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> the whole filesystem ? like rsync / | 00:01 |
| tomreyn | rsync is a little tricky if you're not used to it, using it the first time. tar less so, it creates a single file archive. | 00:01 |
| tomreyn | with rsync you'd need to make sure you're writing to a compatible file system, one which knows about unix acls, like a "linux file system", so not fat or ntfs | 00:02 |
| tomreyn | otherwise you'd loose important information about what belongs to whom etc. | 00:02 |
| tomreyn | that's not a problem with tar | 00:03 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> I used to backup my stuff using git... | 00:04 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> which i know its not optimal but | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | tar czf /path/to/archive_to_create_on_backup_storage.tar.gz /path/to/directory_to_backup | 00:04 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> It was easy | 00:04 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> and space free | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | ah then you'll know how to use tar, too, i assume, or can find out. | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | probably rsync, too | 00:05 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> Have used rsync and tar but i do google every time i have to use them | 00:05 |
| tomreyn | git is primarily a versioning software, not meant for backups, but there are scenarios where you'd combine those, yes. | 00:06 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> Yeah, reading again on the subject it seems that rsync will be best to not lose lots of filesystem metadata | 00:06 |
| tomreyn | hmm, i should head to bed, 2 am here, and i need to get some stuff done tomorrow. if you or Lue (currently gone, but wanted to return) have more questions and can't get help here, try #ubuntu, too. you will find more active people there, but point out you're using lubuntu. | 00:08 |
| tomreyn | you'll usually find help here, too, though, just maybe a little later. | 00:08 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> Perfect thanks a lot for your time man!! | 00:08 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> See ya! | 00:08 |
| tomreyn | you're welcome :) good luck. | 00:09 |
| lubot | <Jose from mexico> Any idea on how to know if nvidia drvers are correctly installed? | 00:17 |
| Lue | Tomreyn: I did it | 00:25 |
| Lue | The problem was from the virtualization | 00:25 |
| Lue | Thanks a lot for your support. It's thanks to you that I found the solution. | 00:29 |
| Lue | agan Thanks a lot !!! <3 | 00:32 |

| lubot | <anonid> if sending media is not allowed in this group please notify me and i will take this down | 12:41 |
| lubot | <anonid> i have been struck at this for many days i am really frustrated . any help would be highly appreciated | 12:42 |
| tomreyn | anonid: still around? | 16:35 |
| tomreyn | if so, explain what's the command you're running, and what it's meant to do, while you're getting "rsync error code 11". | 16:37 |
| lubot | <anonid> @tomreyn [<tomreyn> if so, explain what's the command you're running, and what it's meant …], i just installed it | 16:54 |
| lubot | <anonid> pressed the install lubuntu (cd button) on desktop screen | 16:55 |
| lubot | <anonid> then selected the language and keybotd type | 16:55 |
| lubot | <anonid> then selected usb insted of hdd as installation medium | 16:56 |
| tomreyn | anonid: ah, right, i hadn't inspected your scren shots, yet, sorry | 16:56 |
| tomreyn | https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/installation-failing-error-code-11/940 suggests that your .iso may be broken. did you verify its checksum? | 16:56 |
| lubot | <anonid> i dont know how to do that but it runs fine on virtual machine | 16:57 |
| tomreyn | anonid: do you still have the installer .isop file you downloaded? | 16:58 |
| Maik | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto | 16:58 |
| tomreyn | *.iso is what i meant | 16:58 |
| tomreyn | anonid: it's not unsuaual that a partially broken installer will work on one computer but not another. this should not be mistaken as an indication that it downloaded properly. | 16:59 |
| tomreyn | *unusual | 16:59 |
| lubot | <anonid> @tomreyn [<tomreyn> *.iso is what i meant], yes i have the iso file now | 17:02 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> cross checking is generally a good approach, but in this case, where just one bit needs to be flipped to break it, it's not so helpful. | 17:02 |
| tomreyn | anonid: what's the exact name of the iso file? | 17:02 |
| tomreyn | anonid: and which operating system is running where you have it now? | 17:02 |
| lubot | <anonid> just a sec | 17:02 |
| lubot | <anonid> @tomreyn [<tomreyn> anonid: and which operating system is running where you have it now?], now i am running windows on hdd | 17:03 |
| lubot | <anonid> the name of the iso is lubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 17:04 |
| tomreyn | okay. did it take a long time to download it? | 17:04 |
| tomreyn | do you have a flat rate tarrif? | 17:04 |
| lubot | <anonid> @tomreyn [<tomreyn> do you have a flat rate tarrif?], no in india internet is cheap it took 15 min in 4g | 17:05 |
| tomreyn | this is the latest installer version, i would suggest using this instead http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/20.04.1/release/lubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 17:05 |
| lubot | <anonid> ok thankyou i will try it | 17:05 |
| tomreyn | anonid: consider downloading via bittorrent instead | 17:09 |
| tomreyn | this will usually help prevent broken downloads | 17:09 |
| tomreyn | https://torrent.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/focal/release/desktop/lubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent | 17:10 |
| lubot | <anonid> @tomreyn [<tomreyn> anonid: consider downloading via bittorrent instead], thanks a lot | 17:10 |
| tomreyn | when you downloaded, use this approach to verify the SHA256 checksum: https://www.shellhacks.com/windows-md5-sha256-checksum-built-in-utility/ | 17:11 |
| tomreyn | i.e. you'd run, on windows cmd, something like: certUtil -hashfile C:\MyUserName\Downloads\lubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso SHA256 | 17:12 |
| tomreyn | you will need to modify the path, though, at the very least "MyUserName" | 17:12 |
| lubot | <anonid> @tomreyn [<tomreyn> you will need to modify the path, though, at the very least "MyUserNam …], i can get the previous one ie changing the directory can you please explain about myusername | 17:13 |
| tomreyn | IF the download went fine, you should see a mix of numbers andcharacters which looks exactly like this:0727253098c998c0b7b7963326690419710cdce2479472ca7cfe7adda7a31174 | 17:14 |
| tomreyn | If you stored the downloaded file in your "Download" folder (or move it there now), then this should work unmodified, in a windows command (or power) shell: certUtil -hashfile %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\lubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso SHA256 | 17:19 |
| tomreyn | anonid: ^ | 17:20 |
| tomreyn | but finish the download first | 17:20 |
| tomreyn | actualyl this was the old file name, fow the new 20.04.1 ISO you'd need to change the command to this: | 17:21 |
| tomreyn | uh, actually, that's the same file. i guess there is no lubuntu 20.04.1 then. | 17:22 |
| tomreyn | ah, yes, there is, i just provided the wrong http download url earlier | 17:22 |
| tomreyn | but the bittorrent one was fine | 17:23 |
| tomreyn | for the new 20.04.1 ISO you'd need to use this command to verify the checksum of the iso file in your downloads folder: | 17:23 |
| tomreyn | certUtil -hashfile %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\lubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso SHA256 | 17:24 |
| tomreyn | anonid: still downloading? | 17:36 |
| lubot | <anonid> @tomreyn [<tomreyn> anonid: still downloading?], sorry my interpack quota for today has completed i can download after half an hour (tommorow) | 17:51 |
| lubot | <anonid> is torrent ok should i check the checksum for torrent also | 17:51 |
| tomreyn | you should check it there, too | 17:56 |
| tomreyn | i suggested torrent because it has a higher chance to produce a consistent download due to how it downloads, but you'd still want to verify the result is what it should be. | 17:57 |
| lubot | <anonid> @tomreyn [<tomreyn> i suggested torrent because it has a higher chance to produce a consis …], thankyou i will notify when i complete the download | 17:59 |
| lubot | <anonid> thanks a lot.... for the help | 17:59 |
| tomreyn | okay, good luck, talk to you later. | 17:59 |

| tomreyn | please ignore the above scam | 18:03 |
| tomreyn | !admin stupid scam spam again | 18:04 |
| ubottu | tomreyn: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:04 |
| tomreyn | yeah, you're not intelligent enough to clean up telegram | 18:04 |
| sjn | o/ | 19:14 |
| sjn | just found Lubuntu. Thanks for making a lightweight Ubuntu! Exactly what I need. :-D | 19:15 |
| sjn | quick question; What's the relationship betweeh lubuntu.me and lubuntu.net? The latter seems to offer out-of-date information, yet rank higher on google... | 19:19 |
| akemhp | .me is the official site. | 19:19 |
| akemhp | For some reason it's not the one that comes first on result :/ | 19:20 |
| sjn | yeah, I noticed that | 19:21 |
| lubot | <anonid> (Photo, 1024x768) https://i.imgur.com/raCe6op.jpg | 19:21 |
| lubot | <anonid> this is my lubuntu checksum | 19:21 |
| lubot | <anonid> i transfered the iso to usb | 19:21 |
| sjn | Ah, I googled a little more, and found an answer to this Q on askubuntu.com | 19:21 |
| lubot | <anonid> @anonid [<reply to image>], used gtkhash | 19:22 |
| lubot | <anonid> is this the correct checksum | 19:23 |
| lubot | <CJAli2> hey … I am having a problem booting lubuntu after a successful installation … When I restart it just says there is no bootable media on your computer although I successfully installed lubuntu … P.S i dont have any other operating systems | 19:24 |
| tomreyn | anonid: compare it to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/20.04.1/release/SHA256SUMS | 19:34 |
| tomreyn | CJAli2: hmm maybe you installed in bios mode but are booting in uefi mode now, or the other way around? | 19:34 |
| lubot | <CJAli2> @tomreyn [<tomreyn> CJAli2: hmm maybe you installed in bios mode but are booting in uefi m …], k i will check it | 19:38 |
