=== hays is now known as s_ === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:34] * lopta has a cunning plan [09:55] hello [09:55] does xubuntu 20.04 still support legacy bios? [09:55] i don't have uefi [09:55] legacy bios with dual boot windows 7 [09:56] it does [09:57] cool thanks you, i'll try! [09:57] as i just installed 20.04.1 on a laptop with only legacy bios. it has MBR partition table [09:58] 64 bit only though i believe. they don't do 32 any longer [09:58] i hope it also offers dual boot option at installation [09:58] never tried to dual boot so not sure about that. but i would be surprised if it didn't deal with it [09:59] ty alot xtao [17:50] Hi [17:50] Hello Guest18 [17:51] 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 [17:52] Do I've to partition the disk manually? [17:52] I recommend being very careful about dual-booting. [17:52] Any reason you can't run Xubuntu in a VM? [17:52] I'm not the admin [17:52] :( [17:53] Guest18, did you create free space from windows? [17:53] If you're not the admin, you probably don't want to be messing with the partitions. [17:53] diogenes_ I created free space from live with hearted [17:54] Gparted3 [17:55] *offtopic* why do people keep using outdated, EOL (End Of Life) and vulnerable operating system like XP or Windows 7... Move on. [17:55] :) [17:55] Idk [17:56] That's why I want to install Xub 20 04 [17:56] Guest18, if you know what you're doing then mount that space as / and install [17:56] Maik: I completely missed the fact it was Windows 7 and not Windows 10. [17:56] Why does it not offer an option in the install menu? [17:57] That option only exists when on GPT? [17:58] Guest18, that option is always there. [17:58] Why not on my computer? [17:58] you probably used rufus. [17:58] I've I've mint stick [17:59] ? [17:59] Used mint stick [17:59] Linux mints USB tool [17:59] what is mint stick? [18:00] A USB flash drive with Linux Mint on it? [18:00] No [18:00] he said it's Xubuntu. [18:00] It is preinstalled on mint [18:00] That's what I thought but ...people sometimes aren't consistent. [18:00] I think Guest18 is saying that he used Mint to image the USB flash stick for Xubuntu [18:01] (he or she) [18:01] Yes [18:03] I'm currently trying Xubuntu 20.4.1 on my old Atom 330 box [18:04] 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. [18:08] I should probably reboot. === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube [21:17] 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? [21:18] I have to use only the kernel vmlinuz-5.4.0-42-generic [21:19] I'm sort of new to Linux. How do I ask Xubuntu what version of a program is installed? [21:19] Some smart guy has closed this thread: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/problem-laptop-hp-pavilion-x360-with-keyboard-and-touchpad/6115/8 [21:20] asarch: I would keep using the working kernel [21:21] and file a bug. [21:21] lopta, what exactly? [21:24] Ok. Thank you brainwash [21:25] diogenes_: Blackbox [21:26] (Can't seem to get Xfce4 to work on a virtual VNC desktop) [21:26] lopta, many ways: about, programname --version, apt-cache policy progname. [21:27] * lopta tries it [21:27] Thanks! [21:27] I have 0.70.1-38 [21:32] I wonder what I'm doing wrong with Xfce4 [21:37] I shall investigate some more... [21:38] If diogenes_ comes back, please let them know I said thanks for the help.
