 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
[13:49] <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
 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
 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
 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
 use dd 
 but don't misspell anything
[14:18] <oerheks> dd && sync # to be safe
 I use 
 sudo dd if=lubuntu.iso of=/dev/xx oflag=sync status=progress
[15:44] <oerheks> BS=4M helps too
 I forgot to mention this 
 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
 you mean how to flash it to usb?
[19:51] <giacomo> can i do upload direct from 19.10 at 20.10?
 i think you can update it
 Please review this for EOL upgrades: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
 Considering how far out of date it might actually be easier to re-install.
 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.
 You would also want to review the release notes on https://lubuntu.me for anything to watch out for.
 i have a question
 ok
 why does Lubuntu 21.10 run so hard
 like i can't even run Firefox without waiting 2 minutes
 It depends on what you have for resources in your machine. I haven't noticed it to run different.
 i have a Pentium 4405u
 4gb of ram
 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
 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)
 Also, does Firefox seem to run normally after it starts or is it just startup time?
 no
 it runs badly
 Is it only Firefox or does everything seem to have an issue?
 everything
 last time
 i tried to install wine
 and it took 2 hours
 and on older versions it runs just fine
[20:29] <oerheks> 20.10 does not give the latest firefox, uh oh
