[00:00] <guiverc> did the media validation complete successfully?
[00:01] <xu-irc14w> so as it was here in english as i speak portugues-br, you couldn't understand the nomeclature.
[00:01] <guiverc> Why I suggested a Portugese speaking IRC channel selected from the ChannelList I provided
[00:02] <xu-irc14w> does not charge in the terminal. the media interrupts the installation.
[00:03] <guiverc> If the media validation showed any errors, it's probable that the ISO was corrupted, or the write to your install media was faulty (more likely in my experience)..  Did the media validation complete successfully?
[00:03] <xu-irc14w> I can't understand how to do it I'm a bit of a layman on xubuntu. I preferred to translate using google translator
[00:05] <xu-irc14w> What is media validation where I put this on the USB stick?
[00:05] <guiverc> Xubuntu is an official flavor, so you can access #ubuntu for help too (you'll find more people there, who may be able to better help you)  .. hold on looking for validation details
[00:07] <guiverc> I see threads & posts talking about it, but no picture sorry.. On 20.04 & 20.10 media it's default.. the system will check the media automatically & reports it's good OR error in file(s) .. if any error is detected you shouldn't install or trust install
[00:07] <Bashing-om> xu-irc14w: (x)ubuntu runs the error check when the installer is booted - ctl-c to skip the validation process.
[00:11] <xu-irc14w> it checks and succeeds, but then stops at an init error screen and err gpu kernel.
[00:11] <tomreyn> i think you need to provide details on "init error screen and err gpu kernel"
[00:12] <tomreyn> a screenshoit, uploaded to imgur.com , may help
[00:12] <guiverc> fyi: I just booted Xubuntu media; for some boxes an required option is to select "Xubuntu (safe graphics)" to avoid graphics/gpu issues..
[00:12]  * guiverc note: my media is hirsute; or current dev media, so what I saw may differ to yours
[00:13] <xu-irc14w> ok
[00:14] <xu-irc14w> thank you for your attention i will download media again
[00:14] <xu-irc14w> brass
[00:15] <xu-irc14w> record
[00:16] <xu-irc14w> sorry for the word brass it was a typo
[00:16] <xu-irc14w> thank you
[02:10] <xu-help89w> hi
[02:10] <xu-help89w> i recently installed xubuntu with an alongide windows 10 setup
[02:11] <xu-help89w> how do i swap over to linux?
[02:20] <tomreyn> xu-help89w: by choosing it frot he boot menu that shows by default, if you installed xubuntu in the same boot mode as windows.
[02:20] <tomreyn> *from the boot menu
[03:04] <xu-help89w> it hasnt worked
[03:55] <DrakeGullett> so when i try to dual boot with windows10 i dont see a menu to choose linux
[04:03] <ScienceMr> DUAL-BOOTING is a DISK size and Partition Situation.
[04:04] <ScienceMr> DATA cannot be easily transferred without suitable Disk Size.
[04:04] <DrakeGullett> i already have everything installed
[04:04] <DrakeGullett> but when i boot
[04:05] <DrakeGullett> it doesnt show any menu and goes straight to windows
[04:05] <ScienceMr> Your GRUB loader is corrupted.
[04:06] <DrakeGullett> but i used a bootable usb to install xubuntu choosing the dual boot alongside windows settings
[04:06] <DrakeGullett> how could i fix that?
[04:06] <DrakeGullett> i also have a bios set system pw
[04:06] <DrakeGullett> would disabling it fix the problem?
[04:06] <ScienceMr> The BOOT DISK is corrupt.
[04:07] <DrakeGullett> huh?
[04:07] <DrakeGullett> how so?
[04:08] <ScienceMr> I explained earlier that you need the right hardware to accept the new drives and software. What more do you need?
[04:09] <DrakeGullett> i have the proper hardware i am sure of that considering by using the bootable usb to preform the install went smoothly
[04:09] <DrakeGullett> if it a corrupt grubloader and potentially bad install would removing the install and attempting a reinstall work?
[04:10] <ScienceMr> There is more than a boat load of software and drivers for Legacy drivers and software out there... face it that you have a nightmare on you table.
[04:11] <DrakeGullett> just what exactly are you suggesting lol
[04:12] <DrakeGullett> elaborate on nightmare?
[04:13] <ScienceMr> I promise you that once you or if you install your project, you are going to be asking everyone here for advice on how to fix more problems.
[04:13] <DrakeGullett> i may just attempt a partition removal on the linux end of things and a clean reinstall
[04:13] <DrakeGullett> my project?
[04:13] <DrakeGullett> im using the xubuntu websites linux download bud
[04:14] <DrakeGullett> unless you are suggesting the xubuntu is unreliable?
[04:14] <ScienceMr> Man! You remind me of myself years ago doing this same stuff.  hehe
[04:14] <DrakeGullett> lol
[04:15] <ScienceMr> Get ready to kick yourself in the proverbial ass.  :)
[04:16] <ScienceMr> Is your box a 32 or 64 bit box?
[04:16] <DrakeGullett> i use a samsung touchscreen laptop, i added a system password via the bios, in which everytime i boot it takes me to the password screen, i feel that if i disable said password it may no longer be an issue
[04:16] <DrakeGullett> 64 bit
[04:17] <ScienceMr> 64 is a good start.
[04:17] <ScienceMr> Obviously you don't have a good      INSTALL    DISK
[04:18] <DrakeGullett> okay
[04:19] <DrakeGullett> i am going to attempt a clean install after i remove the partitions that are associated with linux
[04:20] <ScienceMr> What software are you using to   " Cleanup "?
[04:21] <DrakeGullett> im just going into the disk manager to delete all associated partitions
[04:21] <ScienceMr> Partitioning is not  "clean-up"    Don't manage the disk.
[04:22] <ScienceMr> Save what DIGITAL DATA you have on the disk then fix the problem.
[04:23] <DrakeGullett> i cannot even boot into the linux side it skips straight to windows
[04:24] <ScienceMr> Man you haven't gone to my classroom classes. Your making a huge mistake, you are making decisions before your making computations.
[04:32] <ScienceMr> Years ago, partitioning was a bad idea.
[04:32] <ScienceMr> It destroyed data on all partitions.
[04:32] <ScienceMr> Today, it can be done safely.
[04:33] <ScienceMr> It all has to do with RAM      Random Acccess Memory and how much you have and how you use it.
[04:37] <ScienceMr> It also has to do with how much homework you do.
[10:40] <ravius> when i boot my system the panel is displayed as a combination of a light and a dark theme, and the logout prompt is displayed with non selected theme and icons. how can i find out what is causing it?
[17:21] <ScienceMr> .
[18:50] <gabrielmartins> hi
[18:51] <gabrielmartins> hitech
[18:59] <ScienceMr> Greets to NTAI.
[19:00] <ScienceMr> NTAI there is a website with your  nick.
[19:00] <ScienceMr> I used to teach   IT  Information Technology there. And more.

[19:42] <ScienceMr> post hoc, ergo propter hoc
[23:09] <xubuntOOPS> Hi
[23:11] <gnrp> hi
[23:12] <xubuntOOPS> I just installed Xubuntu on a Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 (Atom N450, 1GB RAM, Samsung 860 EVO SSD) and tried updating.
[23:12] <xubuntOOPS> The screen just turned black.
[23:18] <xubuntOOPS> Is my system too low spec for Xubuntu? I know the system requirements say a minimum of 512MB of RAM is needed and the Atom N450 is 64bit.
[23:18] <gnrp> xubuntOOPS: No, this sounds more like an error
[23:19] <gnrp> xubuntOOPS: When does the screen turn black?
[23:19] <gnrp> so you installed a 20.04 system?
[23:19] <xubuntOOPS> Yes
[23:20] <gnrp> and then you started once? Or more often?
[23:20] <xubuntOOPS> Just once
[23:21] <gnrp> and then executed an upgrade, and then the screen turned black?
[23:21] <xubuntOOPS> Yes
[23:21] <gnrp> so you did not restart in the meantime?
[23:22] <gnrp> or does the screen go black a tsome point if you restart?
[23:22] <xubuntOOPS> I installed, then I restarted after the installer media told me to restart and remove the media.
[23:22] <gnrp> yep, that I got. But after the screen turned black, did you restart another time? I.e., reset the computer
[23:22] <xubuntOOPS> Nope.
[23:23] <xubuntOOPS> I didn't force it off either.
[23:23] <gnrp> try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1
[23:23] <xubuntOOPS> I'm still on my first boot of the OS
[23:23] <gnrp> (all at once)
[23:23] <gnrp> does a login prompt on the terminal show up?
[23:24] <xubuntOOPS> Nope, my system must of turned off on its own while we we're chatting
[23:26] <gnrp> so is it running now again?
[23:26] <xubuntOOPS> Still rebooting
[23:26] <xubuntOOPS> But it looks like it's not going to reboot
[23:26] <gnrp> do you remember how much the system wanted to upgrade? i.e., how much it wanted to download?
[23:27] <xubuntOOPS> I just have a black screen
[23:27] <xubuntOOPS> It wanted about 450MB to download
[23:28] <xubuntOOPS> It downloaded it and then started installing the updates. Sometime after the screen went black.
[23:29] <gnrp> and now you rebooted and the screen is still black?
[23:30] <xubuntOOPS> It stayed black
[23:32] <xubuntOOPS> I just tried rebooting again
[23:33] <xubuntOOPS> Got some ACPI Errors and a Kernel Panic
[23:39] <gnrp> can you boot an old kernel?
[23:39] <gnrp> in grub?
[23:40] <xubuntOOPS> Nope
[23:40] <gnrp> no older kernel available there? O
[23:40] <gnrp> o
[23:40] <gnrp> I'm sorry anyway, I have to go to bed now
[23:40] <xubuntOOPS> Nope
[23:40] <gnrp> but if you are not too accustomed to the system, maybe a reinstallation would be the best thing to do right now
[23:40] <Maik> you can't expect much from that low spec machine with 1GB of RAM. You need at least 2GB to run Xubuntu a bit and 4GB to run it properly these days.
[23:40] <xubuntOOPS> Should I try to just reinstall?
[23:40] <gnrp> otherwise, maybe take a "screenshot" of the error messages and post i
[23:40] <gnrp> t somehwere
[23:41] <gnrp> I'm afk, sorry, and gn8
[23:41] <gnrp> you can also try recovery mode of the kernel and then finish the upgrades
[23:41] <Maik> xubuntOOPS: is that actually a 64 bit netbook?
[23:41] <gnrp> Maik: He said so
[23:42] <Maik> xubuntOOPS: no PM please
[23:42] <raccoon_dog> https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/42503/intel-atom-processor-n450-512k-cache-1-66-ghz.html  This is the processor, apparently.
[23:42] <raccoon_dog> Instruction Set
[23:42] <raccoon_dog> 64-bit
[23:42] <raccoon_dog> So, yeah.
[23:42] <xu-irc16w> Anyone know how to permanently disable caps lock key?
[23:43] <raccoon_dog> It's an amd64 processor.
[23:43] <xu-irc16w> Everythuing online does not work.
[23:43] <Maik> xubuntOOPS: these are the requirements: "To get a smooth experience when running multiple applications parallel on the desktop, it is recommended to have a 1.5Ghz Dual Core processor with at least 2 GB of memory."
[23:43] <Maik> https://xubuntu.org/requirements/
[23:44] <raccoon_dog> A question about that, though. Does "Dual Core" include single-core CPUs that are hyperthreaded?
[23:44] <xubuntOOPS> I was going off of the minimum requirements
[23:44] <xubuntOOPS> I wouldn't think so raccoon_dog
[23:44] <Maik> don't look at the minimum these days but the recommended one
[23:45] <xubuntOOPS> I was given this netbook for free, so all I was wanting to do was use it to host Nextcloud and Joplin Notes.
[23:46] <xubuntOOPS> It did ok on Peppermint OS, but I was wanting to see if I could find a faster OS.
[23:55] <xu-irc16w> Any ideas?
[23:58] <xu-irc16w> Guess there are no gurus on here right now.
