[01:34] <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
[04:33] <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.
[04:37] <diogenes_> xu-irc28w, secure boot on?
[04:43] <xu-irc28w> no, I don't think the BIOS settings of the laptop even have a secure boot option
[04:45] <diogenes_> xu-irc28w, run: lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3 | nc termbin.com 9999
[04:45] <diogenes_> share the url
[04:46] <xu-irc28w> nc: getaddrinfo for host "termbin.com" port 9999: Temporary failure in name resolution
[04:47] <diogenes_> ok then just
[04:48] <diogenes_> !pastebin
[04:50] <xu-irc28w> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZdDns8cYsW/
[04:51] <diogenes_> xu-irc28w, firts you run: lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3
[04:51] <diogenes_> and pastebin the output.
[04:52] <diogenes_> first*
[04:56] <xu-irc28w> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/p3g2Y9NpVV/ this is the output
[05:02] <diogenes_> xu-irc28w, run: sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source
[05:02] <diogenes_> tell me when done
[05:08] <xu-irc28w> done, got an error https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kWKrRjRhRq/
[05:09] <diogenes_> now run: sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer
[05:11] <xu-irc28w> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/txqBhJHTKp/
[05:13] <diogenes_> sudo apt update && sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer
[05:14] <diogenes_> same result?
[05:14] <xu-irc28w> yeah
[05:15] <diogenes_> what Xubuntu version?
[05:16] <xu-irc28w> 18.04, the laptop is 32-bits
[05:17] <diogenes_> !eol
[05:18] <xu-irc28w> I knew about eol but it was the latest xubuntu version supporting 32 bit architecture. Should I try installing another distro?
[05:19] <Unit193> You could look into Debian?  It still has 32bit.
[05:21] <xu-irc28w>  I'll check it out. thanks for trying though
[05:22] <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
[05:23] <diogenes_> download that, write to an USB drive, boot live and see if wifi works.
[05:24] <xu-irc28w> ok, it's the latest version right?
[05:26] <diogenes_> yep latest stable.
[05:27] <xu-irc28w> alright thanks have a nice one
[05:28] <Unit193> At this point I'd likely just install bullseye, avoids a release jump and it's rather close to release.
[05:29] <diogenes_> no clue how stable D11 is at this point.
[08:31] <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.
[08:32] <Maik> you need at least 2GB memory to let it run smooth 3 to 4 GB would be even better
[08:33] <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
[08:35] <xu-help3w> thank you guys that worked
[14:34] <xu-irc81w> Je veux un clavier suisse français et non suisse allemand. Comment faire  ? Merci pour votre réponse

[16:50] <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
[16:58] <CoronaZero> Have you installed os-prober?
[16:58] <LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN> Yes. i have grub setup
[17:03] <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
[17:04] <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.
[17:05] <CoronaZero> Ah,you can try virtualbox or vmware(I'm sorry that my English is very poor...
[17:08] <CoronaZero> I often use virtualbox.
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <pmjdebruijn> you might want to elaborate on your actual usecase
[18:22] <Maik> if LINUXUBUNTU-BRAN returns then tell him not to cross post the same question in every channel
[22:04] <a1fa> is there a way to modify the XFCE config without starting X?
[22:08] <gnrp> a1fa: Check out the ~/.config/xfce4* directories
[22:16] <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 ;)
[22:17] <a1fa> no clue.. i am having crashes - cant start xfce over lightdm+tigervnc
[22:17] <a1fa> it's complaining about llvmpipe
