[03:21] <DarkTrick> The installation dialoging is extremely slow
[03:22] <DarkTrick> E.g. after choosing Keyboard layout I need to way for 2 to 3 minutes to reach the next screen
[03:22] <DarkTrick> is this xubuntu specific or does installing from live CD come from Ubuntu?
[03:29] <DarkTrick> hm... it seems like ubuntu driven. The process called ubiquity
[03:46] <genii> It can also be that your USB port or stick is a bottlenck
[03:47] <genii> I bought some "Philips" branded USB sticks at Best Buy maybe a month ago that were fake and getting something like 5Kbps transfer rates
[03:52] <DarkTrick> genii, ah, and due to that the install process can get it's information only very slowly
[03:53] <genii> Yes
[03:55] <genii> This slowdown could also happen for other reasons. But at least it *is prgressing, if slowly
[03:55] <SQ> hello
[03:56] <SQ> hope you are having a nice time. I am an absolute newbie who is quite lost. I just installed xubuntu, before I had mint
[03:57] <SQ> I was mainly just following the instructions of a friend. All day long I tried to install either windows 10 or xubuntu via USB
[03:57] <SQ> But was unable to do either because at the very end the grub file was missing and gave me a fatal error on both
[03:58] <SQ> I went into the terminal before the last installation antempt and tried some commands to install grub
[03:59] <SQ> and on the next restart it seems to be working. My friend is dead asleep now... and I need to work out if I did in fact get the installation through
[04:01] <SQ> if anyone could answer me one or both of these two questions you-d be doing me a fabulous favor and rock my world
[04:02] <SQ> 1> what ubuntu does xubuntu run_ how can I see this?
[04:02] <SQ> 2. does anyone know if davinci resolve runs on xubuntu?
[04:10] <Bashing-om> SQ: 1) (x)ubuntu is a sister/flavour of the (u)buntu sysyem. xubuntu runs xfce as the desktop environmnet, whereas ubuntu runs GNOME. Yo see what the present kernel is run terminal command ' uname -r ' // 2) Yes; see: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/06/how-to-install-davinci-resolve-15-in.html for one instance.
[04:13] <SQ> thanks
[04:13] <SQ> <3
[04:14] <Bashing-om> SQ: :D Welcome to xubuntu .
[04:14] <SQ> one more, maybe too dumb, question... is there a way to make sure my grup is working properly
[04:15] <SQ> grub
[04:15] <SQ> I dont even know for sure if my installation finished succesfully
[04:16] <SQ> as just before reboot after grub error I could use firefox a bit
[04:20] <Bashing-om> SQ: Lots of commands to see aspects of grub - sudo grub-probe -t device /boot/grub ; sudo grub-probe -t fs_uuid /boot/grub ; sudo lshw -C Disk -short. All these look sane ? But in general if systems boot - grub is not broke.
[04:38] <SQ> It has been a crazy day of so many reboots and reinstalations
[04:38] <SQ> I-ve lost my mind
[04:40] <SQ> hehehe! But I guess I just got to reboot now and see. Also, change my keyboard settings. Thank you so much
[04:47] <Bashing-om> SQ: We are here to help :D
[04:47] <kotek14> Hiya Bashing-om
[04:47] <kotek14> I'm back
[04:48] <Bashing-om> kotek14: Back is a good thing ?
[04:48] <kotek14> Bashing-om: depends
[04:48] <kotek14> Bashing-om: Are you by any chance familiar with JavaScript?
[04:49] <Bashing-om> kotek14: No I must admit that I am not - that might be a good thing.
[04:50] <kotek14> Bashing-om: I might agree with you - Python seems much more logical.
[04:51] <Bashing-om> kotek14: So far python and bash have met all my needs.
