| user|21 | hello everyone, does kubuntu have a live USB version? | 08:13 |
| IrcsomeBot | <projektfarbrausch> @<user|21> just flash the Kubuntu ISO to an USB stick and you have a live version. Or what do you mean? | 08:41 |

| IrcsomeBot | <GhostMcT> I pressed ctrl+alt+f4 and this screen came up. How to exit this? (re @GhostMcT: ) | 11:49 |
| IrcsomeBot | <GhostMcT> I gave my signin password but it didn't work. | 11:50 |
| IrcsomeBot | <GhostMcT> Ok solved. (re @GhostMcT: I pressed ctrl+alt+f4 and this screen came up. How to exit this?) | 12:10 |
| basdo | hello | 12:15 |
| basdo | im new here | 12:16 |
| user|25 | hi! i'm completely 100% new to linux, but my old laptop is dying and i heard linux can come to the rescue, so i figured i'd give it a go. how can i flash the kubuntu iso to my drive? | 15:43 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Halis> Hi | 15:46 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Halis> https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview | 15:47 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Halis> You can download Kubuntu here: https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ | 15:49 |
| Mekaneck | user|25: linux can't save a dying laptop or hard drive | 15:50 |
| Mekaneck | that's just nonsense | 15:50 |
| user|25 | i already have kubuntu, and i already ave rufus, but for an unknown reason to me, the device won't show up in refus. | 15:50 |
| user|25 | rufus* | 15:50 |
| Mekaneck | don't use rufus | 15:51 |
| user|25 | also i think my laptop itself might possibly be killing drives because i got my current drive between 6 and 8 months ago and it's already dying | 15:51 |
| Mekaneck | what kind of drive? | 15:52 |
| user|25 | why shouldn't i use rufus? | 15:52 |
| Mekaneck | HDD or SSD | 15:52 |
| user|25 | i think hdd | 15:52 |
| user|25 | it's the same type of drive that originally came with the machine | 15:53 |
| Mekaneck | user|25: rufus isn't reliable | 15:53 |
| user|25 | so the drive might just be old | 15:53 |
| Mekaneck | use etcher instead when on windows or another os | 15:53 |
| user|25 | problem is, windows 10 came with the machine and i don't have any product key that should have come with the packaging, so if i do happen to grab a new drive, i won't be having a licenced copy of windows any time soon. | 15:54 |
| IrcsomeBot | <bongwitcher> some distros say specifically whether you have to burn an ISO as an ISO (Ubuntu) or with dd (Solus) | 15:54 |
| IrcsomeBot | <bongwitcher> Rufus lets you do this, but does etcher? | 15:55 |
| Mekaneck | digital keys... worked at my end wioth windows user|25, but we're not here supporting help for that | 15:55 |
| user|25 | yeah | 15:55 |
| user|25 | ik you're not here for windows help lol | 15:55 |
| user|25 | funny that the ubuntu guide recommends rufus but someone here said to use etcher instead | 15:56 |
| Mekaneck | feel free to use whatever you want | 16:02 |
| user|25 | alright | 16:03 |
| user|25 | can drives start corrupting if they're not defragmented in a long time? | 16:09 |
| Mekaneck | on linux you don't need to defrag your drives | 16:11 |
| Mekaneck | just like you don't need a anti virus | 16:11 |
| user|25 | i was just curious if that could be why my drive is corrupting | 16:11 |
| user|25 | also can't you still get viruses on linux? | 16:11 |
| Mekaneck | i guess the rather depends on how old your drive is IF it is a spinning one | 16:12 |
| user|25 | it's an HDD, i checked | 16:12 |
| Mekaneck | viruses are harmless on linux and for linux there are none in the wild | 16:12 |
| user|25 | according to some of its properties, it seems like it may have been either produced or released originally in 2006 | 16:13 |
| Mekaneck | it's not windows.... | 16:13 |
| user|25 | gotcha | 16:13 |
| Mekaneck | how old is the HDD? | 16:13 |
| user|25 | "according to some of its properties, it seems like it may have been either produced or released originally in 2006" | 16:13 |
| Mekaneck | oh | 16:13 |
| user|25 | however it didn't see any actual use until some time early this year | 16:14 |
| Mekaneck | yeah well... spinning HDD's last for about 3 to 6 years iirc | 16:14 |
| user|25 | not sure how it's still working then, lol | 16:14 |
| Mekaneck | had a laptop once and the HDD died after 3 years of daily usage, then the system got corupted | 16:15 |
| user|25 | it's also possible the *drivers* for the device were made in 06 and they just haven't needed new drivers for new iterations. | 16:16 |
| Mekaneck | has nothing to do with the HDD imho | 16:16 |
| user|25 | so basically, SSD lasts way longer, right? | 16:17 |
| Mekaneck | depends | 16:17 |
| Mekaneck | and i'm no expert on the matter | 16:17 |
| user|25 | i'm not even 100% sure if my laptop can take an ssd | 16:17 |
| Mekaneck | get a new one then | 16:17 |
| user|25 | can't afford a new one, otherwise i'd already have a better one by now. | 16:18 |
| Mekaneck | so you couldn't save money from 2006 up to now to buy a new one? | 16:18 |

| IrcsomeBot | <Halis> @user|25 It's all ok. Usually SSD last longer from my experience. (If you do not buy a cheap no-name SSD from Aliexpress). Try some tools check your SMART values, for example with Crystal Disk Info. (re @IrcsomeBot: <user|25> can't afford a new one, otherwise i'd already have a better one by now.) | 22:01 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Halis> If your PC has SATA HDD, it will also support SSDs | 22:01 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Halis> If you have a new HDD and the SMART check is fine, I would keep using it. Especially, if you have little money. There are also lightweight distros like Lubuntu and Xubuntu. I personally like Lubuntu, because it looks almost like Kubuntu. You can try Kubuntu first and the others afterwards | 22:09 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Halis> @Mekaneck While the second part is true, I think, the first part is not. Viruses can harm on Kubuntu. I think Kubuntu 21.10 still uses X11 as default, so here an example: | 22:16 |

| marcie | Hello? | 23:46 |
| calwig | Hello marcie | 23:48 |
| marcie | I'm trying to install wordpress. Somewhere around downloading it I'm running into problems. It won't let me edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress.conf | 23:48 |
| marcie | If I try to open the file it won't let me save it (I've tried it on gedit and nano) | 23:49 |
| marcie | I was using this as a guide https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-and-configure-wordpress#4-configure-apache-for-wordpress | 23:50 |
| marcie | I'm stuck at either 2 or 3---I'm not sure but I think the issue with 3 might be related to 2, which seemed to work | 23:51 |
| marcie | It won't let me save worpress.conf | 23:58 |
| TheOrignl | Anyone know of and Kubuntu 32bit OS archives around? | 23:59 |
