[10:41] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> hi
[13:47] <user000000> hi
[13:48] <user000000> i'm currently new to linux. i'm about to try flashing a .iso file to a usb stick. is there anyway to do so ?
[13:48] <oerheks> !usb
[13:48] <ubottu> For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[13:49] <oerheks> see the wiki, for windows or mac
[13:49] <user000000> erm i'm on a linux distribution
[13:49] <oerheks> or on linux, dd the image to the drive
[13:49] <user000000> thanks by the way
[13:49] <oerheks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Creating_a_bootable_Ubuntu_USB_flash_drive_from_Ubuntu
[13:50] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> Most Linux distributions have an image writing tool.
[13:50] <user000000> o thanks i will look it up
[13:51] <oerheks> mkusb gives the option for persistent space, pretty neat
[13:52] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> If you can't find anything else Balena Etcher is fairly simple and uses dd underneath.
[13:53] <oerheks> balena is not in our repos, and not mentioned on the wiki
[13:55] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> That is true but I was thinking if you were on a different distribution it isn't a bad option.
[13:56] <user000000> erm haha
[13:56] <user000000> i actually downloaded the appimage for etcher
[13:56] <user000000> ran it to flash to the usb stick but failed...
[13:59] <user000000> can i know the main reason for my laptop no recognizing my usb stick ?
[14:00] <user000000> is kinda frustrating after trying out lots of suggested solution
[14:14] <lubot> [telegram] <Michaël> use dd 
[14:14] <lubot> [telegram] <Michaël> but don't misspell anything
[14:18] <oerheks> dd && sync # to be safe
[15:30] <lubot> [telegram] <Michaël> I use 
[15:30] <lubot> [telegram] <Michaël> sudo dd if=lubuntu.iso of=/dev/xx oflag=sync status=progress
[15:44] <oerheks> BS=4M helps too
[16:15] <lubot> [telegram] <Michaël> I forgot to mention this 
[16:15] <lubot> [telegram] <Michaël> you're right (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <oerheks> BS=4M helps too)

[19:48] <giacomo> hi
[19:49] <giacomo> how i can upload new version of lubuntu?
[19:49] <giacomo> i have lubuntu 19.10
[19:49] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> you mean how to flash it to usb?
[19:51] <giacomo> can i do upload direct from 19.10 at 20.10?
[19:54] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> i think you can update it
[19:55] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> Please review this for EOL upgrades: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[19:56] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> Considering how far out of date it might actually be easier to re-install.
[19:56] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> To be on a supported release you would need to be on 21.04 but that only has support for about a month. 21.10 would be better.
[19:58] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> You would also want to review the release notes on https://lubuntu.me for anything to watch out for.
[19:58] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> i have a question
[19:59] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> ok
[19:59] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> why does Lubuntu 21.10 run so hard
[19:59] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> like i can't even run Firefox without waiting 2 minutes
[20:00] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> It depends on what you have for resources in your machine. I haven't noticed it to run different.
[20:00] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> i have a Pentium 4405u
[20:00] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> 4gb of ram
[20:00] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> and 16 gb of space
[20:04] <Maik> giacomo: 20.10 is also EOL
[20:04] <Maik> best to perform a clean install of 21.10
[20:05] <giacomo> ok
[20:05] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> There are many factors for something to appear slow. Your specifications at a glance appear fine but other tasks your machine is performing may play a factor. (re @motorolae7: like i can't even run Firefox without waiting 2 minutes)
[20:06] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> Also, does Firefox seem to run normally after it starts or is it just startup time?
[20:06] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> no
[20:06] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> it runs badly
[20:07] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> Is it only Firefox or does everything seem to have an issue?
[20:07] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> everything
[20:08] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> last time
[20:08] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> i tried to install wine
[20:08] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> and it took 2 hours
[20:08] <lubot> [telegram] <motorolae7> and on older versions it runs just fine
[20:29] <oerheks> 20.10 does not give the latest firefox, uh oh
