| rento | I am having trouble booting into my xubuntu system, when I installed the os I used lvm and encryption. Now when I boot that system up I get the prompt to unlock the drive and enter the password. but then it fails to busybox initrams. I tried to use the fsck command but that also just says fsck from util-linux 2.34 | 01:34 |

| xu-irc28w | Hello, has anyone had problems with external wireless switches? I recently installed xubuntu on an old computer of mine, but its wireless switch doesn't work anymore. If I turn it on it still stays red. It used to work on windows but now it doesn't turn on with xubuntu. I reset the BIOS settings to default and tried sudo rfkill unblock all but | 04:33 |
| xu-irc28w | apparently everything is already unblocked. The computer is an HP Pavilion dv6105us. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | 04:33 |
| diogenes_ | xu-irc28w, secure boot on? | 04:37 |
| xu-irc28w | no, I don't think the BIOS settings of the laptop even have a secure boot option | 04:43 |
| diogenes_ | xu-irc28w, run: lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3 | nc termbin.com 9999 | 04:45 |
| diogenes_ | share the url | 04:45 |
| xu-irc28w | nc: getaddrinfo for host "termbin.com" port 9999: Temporary failure in name resolution | 04:46 |
| diogenes_ | ok then just | 04:47 |

| diogenes_ | and pastebin the output. | 04:51 |
| diogenes_ | first* | 04:52 |
| xu-irc28w | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/p3g2Y9NpVV/ this is the output | 04:56 |
| diogenes_ | xu-irc28w, run: sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source | 05:02 |
| diogenes_ | tell me when done | 05:02 |
| xu-irc28w | done, got an error https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kWKrRjRhRq/ | 05:08 |
| diogenes_ | now run: sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer | 05:09 |
| xu-irc28w | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/txqBhJHTKp/ | 05:11 |
| diogenes_ | sudo apt update && sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer | 05:13 |
| diogenes_ | same result? | 05:14 |
| xu-irc28w | yeah | 05:14 |
| diogenes_ | what Xubuntu version? | 05:15 |
| xu-irc28w | 18.04, the laptop is 32-bits | 05:16 |
| diogenes_ | !eol | 05:17 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 05:17 |
| xu-irc28w | I knew about eol but it was the latest xubuntu version supporting 32 bit architecture. Should I try installing another distro? | 05:18 |
| Unit193 | You could look into Debian? It still has 32bit. | 05:19 |
| xu-irc28w | I'll check it out. thanks for trying though | 05:21 |
| diogenes_ | xu-irc28w, https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/debian-live-10.9.0-i386-xfce+nonfree.iso | 05:22 |
| diogenes_ | download that, write to an USB drive, boot live and see if wifi works. | 05:23 |
| xu-irc28w | ok, it's the latest version right? | 05:24 |
| diogenes_ | yep latest stable. | 05:26 |
| xu-irc28w | alright thanks have a nice one | 05:27 |
| Unit193 | At this point I'd likely just install bullseye, avoids a release jump and it's rather close to release. | 05:28 |
| diogenes_ | no clue how stable D11 is at this point. | 05:29 |
| xu-help3w | so I tried to install Xubuntu 20.04.2.0 on a VMware 16.x virtual machine, and it came up with an error message. | 08:31 |
| xu-help3w | my VM's specs are: 512MB memory, 1 processor core active, 28GB SCSI hard disk, SATA disc drive, and 3D acceleration disabled. | 08:31 |
| Maik | you need at least 2GB memory to let it run smooth 3 to 4 GB would be even better | 08:32 |
| xu-help3w | ok I'll try that | 08:33 |
| Unit193 | 512 is going to have issues unpacking the initramfs with both amd and intel firmware in there, I suggest at least 1G, more if you ever plan on opening a browser or libreoffice. | 08:33 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-help3w: 512MB will work for a server install, not a desktop, essentially | 08:33 |
| xu-help3w | thank you guys that worked | 08:35 |
| xu-irc81w | Je veux un clavier suisse français et non suisse allemand. Comment faire ? Merci pour votre réponse | 14:34 |

| LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN | Need help. >> I have 2 OS on 2 different drives with GRUB Dual Boot WINDOWS ---- Ubuntu, Linux >>> I want to connect remotely to either/or vise versa doesnt matter thru which OS | 16:50 |
| CoronaZero | Have you installed os-prober? | 16:58 |
| LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN | Yes. i have grub setup | 16:58 |
| LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN | I can Dual Boot on PowerUP... I need access to my other OS using it Remotely, for programs. OS Prober is used for installing config GRUB for dual booting and choosing an OS on boot...thats already done... i need access to both... hence why i want to access One while on the other. | 17:03 |
| LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN | I'm thinking maybe a Virtual Machine | 17:03 |
| LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN | With Windows already installed, config'd. and ready maybe VM will see it as such and I can use it remotely as so. | 17:04 |
| CoronaZero | Ah,you can try virtualbox or vmware(I'm sorry that my English is very poor... | 17:05 |
| CoronaZero | I often use virtualbox. | 17:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN: it's really not sure exactly what you're looking for | 17:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN: maybe VNC? | 17:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | uhm | 17:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | oh wait | 17:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | virtualbox/vmware/kvm will not easily boot an OS from a different partition | 17:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | if anything kvm will be the most likely candidate | 17:24 |
| pmjdebruijn | LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN: it's a bit unclear why you would want this | 17:24 |
| pmjdebruijn | if you just have a few windows programs you need, it would probably make more sense to install a VM (kvm?) instead of dual booting at all | 17:25 |
| pmjdebruijn | you might want to elaborate on your actual usecase | 17:26 |
| Maik | if LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN returns then tell him not to cross post the same question in every channel | 18:22 |
| a1fa | is there a way to modify the XFCE config without starting X? | 22:04 |
| gnrp | a1fa: Check out the ~/.config/xfce4* directories | 22:08 |
| a1fa | gnrp: re those binary? | 22:16 |
| gnrp | a1fa: No, it's plaintext files (xml or other formats) | 22:16 |
| a1fa | hm | 22:16 |
| gnrp | you have to say what you actually want to change | 22:16 |
| gnrp | I'm off to bed now, though. gn8 ;) | 22:16 |
