[00:00] <tomreyn> !backup
[00:00] <tomreyn> for this one-time backup use case, i'd probably just use rsync or tar
[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.
[00:02] <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.
[00:03] <tomreyn> that's not a problem with tar
[00:04] <tomreyn> tar czf /path/to/archive_to_create_on_backup_storage.tar.gz /path/to/directory_to_backup
[00:04] <tomreyn> ah then you'll know how to use tar, too, i assume, or can find out.
[00:05] <tomreyn> probably rsync, too
[00:06] <tomreyn> git is primarily a versioning software, not meant for backups, but there are scenarios where you'd combine those, yes.
[00:08] <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.
[00:09] <tomreyn> you're welcome :) good luck.
[00:25] <Lue> Tomreyn: I did it
[00:25] <Lue> The problem was from the virtualization
[00:29] <Lue> Thanks a lot for your support. It's thanks to you that I found the solution.
[00:32] <Lue> agan Thanks a lot !!! <3

 if sending media is not allowed in this group please notify me and i will take this down
 i have been struck at this for many days i am really frustrated . any help would be highly appreciated
[16:35] <tomreyn> anonid: still around?
[16:37] <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".
 @tomreyn [<tomreyn> if so, explain what's the command you're running, and what it's meant …], i just installed it
 pressed the install lubuntu (cd button) on desktop screen
 then selected the language and keybotd type
 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?
 i dont know how to do that but it runs fine on virtual machine
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <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
 @tomreyn [<tomreyn> *.iso is what i meant], yes i have the iso file now
 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?
 just a sec
 @tomreyn [<tomreyn> anonid: and which operating system is running where you have it now?], now i am running windows on hdd
 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?
 @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
 ok thankyou i will try it
[17:09] <tomreyn> anonid: consider downloading via bittorrent instead
[17:09] <tomreyn> this will usually help prevent broken downloads
[17:10] <tomreyn> https://torrent.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/focal/release/desktop/lubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
 @tomreyn [<tomreyn> anonid: consider downloading via bittorrent instead], thanks a lot
[17:11] <tomreyn> when you downloaded, use this approach to verify the SHA256 checksum: https://www.shellhacks.com/windows-md5-sha256-checksum-built-in-utility/
[17:12] <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"
 @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
[17:14] <tomreyn> IF the download went fine, you should see a mix of numbers andcharacters which looks exactly like this:0727253098c998c0b7b7963326690419710cdce2479472ca7cfe7adda7a31174
[17:19] <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
[17:20] <tomreyn> anonid: ^
[17:20] <tomreyn> but finish the download first
[17:21] <tomreyn> actualyl this was the old file name, fow the new 20.04.1 ISO you'd need to change the command to this:
[17:22] <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
[17:23] <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:
[17:24] <tomreyn> certUtil -hashfile %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\lubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso SHA256
[17:36] <tomreyn> anonid: still downloading?
 @tomreyn [<tomreyn> anonid: still downloading?], sorry my interpack quota for today has completed i can download after half an hour (tommorow)
 is torrent ok should i check the checksum for torrent also
[17:56] <tomreyn> you should check it there, too
[17:57] <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.
 @tomreyn [<tomreyn> i suggested torrent because it has a higher chance to produce a consis …], thankyou i will notify when i complete the download
 thanks a lot.... for the help
[17:59] <tomreyn> okay, good luck, talk to you later.
[18:03] <tomreyn> please ignore the above scam
[18:04] <tomreyn> !admin stupid scam spam again
[18:04] <tomreyn> yeah, you're not intelligent enough to clean up telegram
[19:14] <sjn> o/
[19:15] <sjn> just found Lubuntu. Thanks for making a lightweight Ubuntu! Exactly what I need. :-D
[19:19] <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.
[19:20] <akemhp> For some reason it's not the one that comes first on result :/
[19:21] <sjn> yeah, I noticed that
 (Photo, 1024x768) https://i.imgur.com/raCe6op.jpg
 this is my lubuntu checksum
 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
 @anonid [<reply to image>], used gtkhash
 is this the correct checksum
 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
[19:34] <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?
 @tomreyn [<tomreyn> CJAli2: hmm maybe you installed in bios mode but are booting in uefi m …], k i will check it
