[09:34] <xu-irc19w> expected release for 21.10?
[09:54] <xu-help53w> Hi
[09:56] <xu-help53w> Which version of Xfce does Xubuntu 20.04 LTS use?
[09:58] <gnrp> xu-help53w: You can check these things easily on packages.ubuntu.com
[09:58] <gnrp> https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/xfce4
[09:58] <Mekaneck> 4.14
[09:58] <gnrp> I mean, for the future, you can always check there if you want to check for the version of some package in a certain distribution
[10:00] <xu-help53w> Can we not get 4.16 on Xubuntu 20.04 LTS?
[10:02] <Mekaneck> no
[10:02] <gnrp> xu-help53w: Ubuntu does not have that kind of releases where you would make feature upgrades to a package
[10:02] <gnrp> however, you can use external packages of course
[10:02] <gnrp> check out e.g. https://www.linuxuprising.com/2021/01/how-to-install-xfce-416-on-xubuntu-2004.html
[10:03] <gnrp> well, "external"
[10:03] <xu-help53w> Ok
[13:25] <GridCloud> :D 
[13:25] <GridCloud> i can confirm that the nvme drive worked flawlesly with 21.10
[13:26] <GridCloud> pc boots in 2 seconds :D
[16:48] <vann> hey, i think there might be a problem with the file 777032a3688fc47202f7cb07d18196a4d24b7b047160977100183d598538e9c5 *xubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.
[16:50] <coconut> vann, the hash does not match?
[16:51] <vann> install fails. hash matches
[16:51] <vann> i downloaded from german and french mirrors
[16:52] <vann> tried to create the stick with unetbootin on windows 10 and with the startup-disk tool on ubuntu
[16:52] <GridCloud> have you tried re-formatting the install media?
[16:52] <GridCloud> sometimes it needs to be on fat32 and if it's on ntfs it wont work
[16:55] <vann> i'll recheck that, but i think i did fat32
[16:59] <tomreyn> vann: i'm not sure whether unetbootin does this, but i know that balena etcher verifies that the data written tot he installer media (usb stick) matches the ISO file
[17:02] <tomreyn> the iso file should be 1791655936 bytes
[17:05] <vann> the file size is correct.
[17:05] <vann> i reformatted the entire stick to fat32 with gparted just now
[17:06] <vann> and use startup disk creator from ubuntu to write the image
[17:13] <tomreyn> i dont think the original file system will matter there, since it should just overwrite the full thing
[17:15] <GridCloud> nah i made an installer yesterday and the pc bious wouldn't detect it if it wasn't on fat32
[17:17] <vann> i'm starting the installation right now, and while the loading bar is runnen and it's checking the files, it says at the end 'Check finished: errors found in 1 files! You might encounter errors.'
[17:17] <vann> i'm attempting the installation now, i check both 'download updates' and 'third-party' in the dialog
[17:17] <GridCloud> fingers crossed
[17:19] <vann> i can now choose between 'erase ubuntu', 'install alongside' and 'erase disk' and 'something else'. i would choose 'erase disk' but don't select any advanced features
[17:21] <vann> and now i get 'Installation Failed'
[17:22] <vann> zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt
[17:22] <tomreyn> so verify the data written to the usb stick 
[17:22] <vann> failed to read block 0x3171a268: -5
[17:22] <tomreyn> that sounds like oyu want to replace the broken stick
[17:24] <vann> ok, so installing ubuntu from that stick i was just lucky that I didn't hit that block?
[17:24] <tomreyn> if oyu did so previously without error, then it was either not hitting this block, or the block happened to be readable then
[17:25] <vann> ok, thanks. i guess i gotta find another stick then.
[17:25] <vann> brb
[17:32] <vann> ok, i got another stick, i'll try balena etcher now
[17:48] <vann> with the other stick i at least passed the point where the error occured before. interesting bit: i just now flashed the faulty stick with balenaEtcher and it says the flash is successful, so balenaEtcher seems to not find that faulty block.
[17:51] <vann> ok, install was successful. thank you very much for your help <3
[17:58] <tomreyn> you're welcome
