| manu1511 | hello | 09:55 |
|---|---|---|
| manu1511 | does xubuntu 20.04 still support legacy bios? | 09:55 |
| manu1511 | i don't have uefi | 09:55 |
| manu1511 | legacy bios with dual boot windows 7 | 09:55 |
| xtao | it does | 09:56 |
| manu1511 | cool thanks you, i'll try! | 09:57 |
| xtao | as i just installed 20.04.1 on a laptop with only legacy bios. it has MBR partition table | 09:57 |
| xtao | 64 bit only though i believe. they don't do 32 any longer | 09:58 |
| manu1511 | i hope it also offers dual boot option at installation | 09:58 |
| xtao | never tried to dual boot so not sure about that. but i would be surprised if it didn't deal with it | 09:58 |
| manu1511 | ty alot xtao | 09:59 |
| Guest18 | Hi | 17:50 |
| ball | Hello Guest18 | 17:50 |
| Guest18 | Im on windows 7 and booted into xubuntu 20.04 live, I now want to install it alongside windows 7 which is mbr. But I don't see an option in the installer for it | 17:51 |
| Guest18 | Do I've to partition the disk manually? | 17:52 |
| ball | I recommend being very careful about dual-booting. | 17:52 |
| ball | Any reason you can't run Xubuntu in a VM? | 17:52 |
| Guest18 | I'm not the admin | 17:52 |
| Guest18 | :( | 17:52 |
| diogenes_ | Guest18, did you create free space from windows? | 17:53 |
| ball | If you're not the admin, you probably don't want to be messing with the partitions. | 17:53 |
| Guest18 | diogenes_ I created free space from live with hearted | 17:53 |
| Guest18 | Gparted3 | 17:54 |
| Maik | *offtopic* why do people keep using outdated, EOL (End Of Life) and vulnerable operating system like XP or Windows 7... Move on. | 17:55 |
| Maik | :) | 17:55 |
| Guest18 | Idk | 17:55 |
| Guest18 | That's why I want to install Xub 20 04 | 17:56 |
| diogenes_ | Guest18, if you know what you're doing then mount that space as / and install | 17:56 |
| ball | Maik: I completely missed the fact it was Windows 7 and not Windows 10. | 17:56 |
| Guest18 | Why does it not offer an option in the install menu? | 17:56 |
| Guest18 | That option only exists when on GPT? | 17:57 |
| diogenes_ | Guest18, that option is always there. | 17:58 |
| Guest18 | Why not on my computer? | 17:58 |
| diogenes_ | you probably used rufus. | 17:58 |
| Guest18 | I've I've mint stick | 17:58 |
| diogenes_ | ? | 17:59 |
| Guest18 | Used mint stick | 17:59 |
| Guest18 | Linux mints USB tool | 17:59 |
| diogenes_ | what is mint stick? | 17:59 |
| ball | A USB flash drive with Linux Mint on it? | 18:00 |
| Guest18 | No | 18:00 |
| diogenes_ | he said it's Xubuntu. | 18:00 |
| Guest18 | It is preinstalled on mint | 18:00 |
| ball | That's what I thought but ...people sometimes aren't consistent. | 18:00 |
| ball | I think Guest18 is saying that he used Mint to image the USB flash stick for Xubuntu | 18:00 |
| ball | (he or she) | 18:01 |
| Guest18 | Yes | 18:01 |
| ball | I'm currently trying Xubuntu 20.4.1 on my old Atom 330 box | 18:03 |
| diogenes_ | Guest18, the installer must be there in any case, something went wrong with your installation on the usb drive, try to clean it out and try something like etcher. | 18:04 |
| ball | I should probably reboot. | 18:08 |

| asarch | Hi guys! My HP Pavillion X360 doesn't work either the keyboard nor the touchpad if I use the kernels vmlinuz-5.4.0-45, vmlinuz-5.4.0-47 or the newest one, vmlinuz-5.4.0-48. Do you know by chance how to solve this problem? | 21:17 |
| asarch | I have to use only the kernel vmlinuz-5.4.0-42-generic | 21:18 |
| lopta | I'm sort of new to Linux. How do I ask Xubuntu what version of a program is installed? | 21:19 |
| asarch | Some smart guy has closed this thread: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/problem-laptop-hp-pavilion-x360-with-keyboard-and-touchpad/6115/8 | 21:19 |
| brainwash | asarch: I would keep using the working kernel | 21:20 |
| diogenes_ | and file a bug. | 21:21 |
| diogenes_ | lopta, what exactly? | 21:21 |
| asarch | Ok. Thank you brainwash | 21:24 |
| lopta | diogenes_: Blackbox | 21:25 |
| lopta | (Can't seem to get Xfce4 to work on a virtual VNC desktop) | 21:26 |
| diogenes_ | lopta, many ways: about, programname --version, apt-cache policy progname. | 21:26 |
| * lopta tries it | 21:27 | |
| lopta | Thanks! | 21:27 |
| lopta | I have 0.70.1-38 | 21:27 |
| lopta | I wonder what I'm doing wrong with Xfce4 | 21:32 |
| lopta | I shall investigate some more... | 21:37 |
| lopta | If diogenes_ comes back, please let them know I said thanks for the help. | 21:38 |
