[09:57] [telegram] /start@GitHubBot r_d76a9ABl0lc [12:54] ? [12:55] who [14:15] [telegram] Can I write directly here to get support? [14:16] [telegram] Yes (re @UnrealNinjaMark: Can I write directly here to get support?) [14:21] [telegram] Thanks. I have Lubuntu 20.04 and I installed, some time ago, through Discovery Software Center, the one preinstalled in Lubuntu, the Ubuntu Studio Installer. Then, I enabled backport PPA through the program and I tried to install some of the packages offered by the Installer. The installed stuck at installing, and I couldn't boot any software, until the screen gone black. Now the system doesn't boot anymore, and it's the second time [14:21] [telegram] The first time, I easily resolved the issue by reinstalling the OS, but I wanted to know if there is a way to resolve the issue without reinstalling the OS [14:27] [telegram] Lubuntu doesn't have an active backport PPA so I am not sure what you enabled there. I would avoid that unless there is something you know you need from that. There is likely a way to fix the issue but we would need more information. [14:28] [telegram] The PPA I was talking about was the one the Ubuntu Studio Installer activates (re @kc2bez: Lubuntu doesn't have an active backport PPA so I am not sure what you enabled there. I would avoid that unless there is something you know you need from that. There is likely a way to fix the issue but we would need more information.) [14:28] [telegram] That I tried to disable through ppa-purge [14:29] [telegram] Anyway, what other information could I give? [14:30] [telegram] If your system was able to get to the CLI it did boot, just not into the graphical environment. [14:30] [telegram] A thing I noticed, when I power off the system, the command line report an I/O error on dev/SDA before powering off [14:31] [telegram] Oh, that sounds like a drive issue. [14:31] [telegram] What is CLI? I could see the loading screen of Lubuntu, and I saw the command line of booting with pressing ESC (re @kc2bez: If your system was able to get to the CLI it did boot, just not into the graphical environment.) [14:31] [telegram] Well, it happened even the first time, but I reinstalled the OS and I had no issue (re @kc2bez: Oh, that sounds like a drive issue.) [14:31] [telegram] CLI = Command line interface (re @UnrealNinjaMark: What is CLI? I could see the loading screen of Lubuntu, and I saw the command line of booting with pressing ESC) [14:31] [telegram] Uh, I could see that (re @kc2bez: CLI = Command line interface) [14:32] [telegram] Right, so that gets us past the bootloader. [14:32] [telegram] Yeap (re @kc2bez: Right, so that gets us past the bootloader.) [14:32] [telegram] What do you have for a video card? [14:33] [telegram] The one integrated in my Intel Celeron, an HD Graphics (re @kc2bez: What do you have for a video card?) [14:33] [telegram] I was saying earlier, the I/O I had the other time error disappeared when I reinstalled Lubuntu, so in theory the disk works well. What could cause this problem? [14:34] [telegram] It may still have bad blocks and the reinstall worked around them. [14:34] [telegram] Should I try an fsck? (re @kc2bez: It may still have bad blocks and the reinstall worked around them.) [14:34] [telegram] if the updates/installs are not done maybe you should use sudo dpkg --configure -a (re @UnrealNinjaMark: Thanks. I have Lubuntu 20.04 and I installed, some time ago, through Discovery Software Center, the one preinstalled in Lubuntu, the Ubuntu Studio Installer. Then, I enabled backport PPA through the program and I tried to install some of the packages offered by the Installer. The installed stuck at installing, and I couldn't boot any oth [14:35] [telegram] Uh, I tried that (re @N0um3n0: if the updates/installs are not done maybe you should use sudo dpkg --configure -a) [14:35] [telegram] That seems like a good idea. (re @UnrealNinjaMark: Should I try an fsck?) [14:35] [telegram] And still my system doesn't boot [14:35] [telegram] Ok (re @kc2bez: That seems like a good idea.) [14:36] [telegram] Is this from 20.04 iso or one of the point releases? (re @UnrealNinjaMark: And still my system doesn't boot) [14:36] [telegram] Just for information, the other time I had a similar problem I tried a manual fsck, that said me the disk was fine. I forced the control and, still, the system didn't boot. Like I said earlier, reinstalling resolved all the problems (re @kc2bez: That seems like a good idea.) [14:36] [telegram] The first one (re @kc2bez: Is this from 20.04 iso or one of the point releases?) [14:37] [telegram] maybe some unfulfilled dependency (re @UnrealNinjaMark: Just for information, the other time I had a similar problem I tried a manual fsck, that said me the disk was fine. I forced the control and, still, the system didn't boot. Like I said earlier, reinstalling resolved all the problems) [14:38] [telegram] Strange (re @N0um3n0: maybe some unfulfilled dependency) [14:38] [telegram] Is there a way to reinstall LXQT on Lubuntu? [14:38] [telegram] Maybe this could resolve the problems [14:38] [telegram] If you don't add the PPA does everything work fine? [14:38] [telegram] Maybe I just accidentally deleted some important packages [14:39] [telegram] I removed it, and the system still doesn't boot 😅 (re @kc2bez: If you don't add the PPA does everything work fine?) [14:39] [telegram] Right but you said you reinstalled. [14:39] [telegram] sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop (re @UnrealNinjaMark: Is there a way to reinstall LXQT on Lubuntu?) [14:39] [telegram] Well, I'm pretty confused (re @kc2bez: Right but you said you reinstalled.) [14:39] [telegram] I'll try this! (re @N0um3n0: sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop) [14:41] [telegram] A thing. I wanted to do a fsck from recovery mode, but it always fails because it says the system partition is mounted. How could I resolve that? [14:41] [telegram] Or should I do fsck from live system, using my USB Ke [14:41] [telegram] You should do it from a live system. [14:41] [telegram] understood (re @kc2bez: You should do it from a live system.) [14:42] [telegram] You can't unmount the system you are running from and recovery mode is on your disk. [14:42] [telegram] Yeap 😅 (re @kc2bez: You can't unmount the system you are running from and recovery mode is on your disk.) [14:44] [telegram] Another thing. I had a broken package called t1-cyrillic, that the system doesn't want to remove and it gives me a bus error, an error I didn't had while removing other packages. Should I try to reinstall this package, or should I try to remove it in an another way? [14:46] [telegram] Have you tried apt --fix-broken install ? [14:46] [telegram] Let me try it [14:48] [telegram] I've tried the command, and the system still want to try to remove the said package, and I had once again a bus error (re @kc2bez: Have you tried apt --fix-broken install ?) [14:49] [telegram] I got error status 135 [14:51] [telegram] directly with remove the name of the package, does not delete it? (re @UnrealNinjaMark: I've tried the command, and the system still want to try to remove the said package, and I had once again a bus error) [14:51] [telegram] No, it doesn't (re @N0um3n0: directly with remove the name of the package, does not delete it?) [14:51] [telegram] It gave me the same error [14:52] [telegram] Let's try some things, let me know when you are done with each command. [14:52] [telegram] Understood (re @kc2bez: Let's try some things, let me know when you are done with each command.) [14:52] [telegram] sudo dpkg --configure -a [14:53] [telegram] Done... I guess : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/4b31d3ae/file_3978.jpg [14:53] [telegram] yes it is [14:53] [telegram] Good (re @kc2bez: yes it is) [14:54] [telegram] sudo dpkg -l | grep ^..r [14:54] [telegram] That arrow symbol... Where should I find it on my keyboard? (re @kc2bez: sudo dpkg -l | grep ^..r) [14:55] [telegram] I can't change my keyboard language since I'm in recovery mode [14:55] [telegram] For me it is shift 6 [14:55] [telegram] Never mind [14:55] [telegram] Found it! [14:55] [telegram] Dons [14:55] [telegram] sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq [14:57] [telegram] And it still gives me that bus error. I'll try to do manual fsck with my live USB key and I'll let you know if it works [14:57] [telegram] hang on [14:58] [telegram] sudo apt clean [14:59] [telegram] Well, I already booted the live system. I'll try the clean command when I will return on recovery mode (re @kc2bez: sudo apt clean) [14:59] [telegram] Let me return in recovery mode 😅 [15:02] [telegram] Same result. Maybe this t1-cyrillic is related to some system thing... I don't know [15:03] [telegram] sudo apt update [15:04] [telegram] I already tried it earlier on. I'll try it anyway [15:04] [telegram] Yes please. The order matters [15:05] [telegram] Done (re @kc2bez: Yes please. The order matters) [15:05] [telegram] sudo apt install -f [15:05] [telegram] And it still wants to remove that package... [15:05] [telegram] There is a way to just reinstall it? [15:06] [telegram] That should reinstall it if it is required. [15:06] [telegram] Can we see the error? [15:06] [telegram] I have the system in Italian. Is it a problem? (re @kc2bez: Can we see the error?) [15:06] [telegram] It shouldn't be. [15:07] [telegram] I'm sending the screen [15:07] [telegram] https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/a6557c72/file_3979.jpg [15:08] [telegram] https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1871690 (re @UnrealNinjaMark: ) [15:08] [telegram] I'm going! (re @N0um3n0: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1871690) [15:09] [telegram] I'm trying the commands of the first answer (re @N0um3n0: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1871690) [15:10] [telegram] You will want to substitute the package you are having an issue with. [15:11] [telegram] t1-cyrillic [15:11] [telegram] I'll try this (re @kc2bez: You will want to substitute the package you are having an issue with.) [15:11] [telegram] I tried the command dpkg -l | grep -v "^ii" as said in the link, and I got this list [15:11] [telegram] https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/303fa151/file_3980.jpg [15:13] [telegram] Oh that isn't good. [15:14] [telegram] It also looks like you installed from a point release because you have the HWE kernel. [15:15] [telegram] Try this. [15:16] [telegram] Well, and this is strange, because I use Lubuntu 20.04.. maybe it's fault of that Ubuntu Studio Installer I used Into Lubuntu (re @kc2bez: It also looks like you installed from a point release because you have the HWE kernel.) [15:16] [telegram] sudo dpkg --purge --force-all t1-cyrillic [15:17] [telegram] Nothing... same error [15:19] [telegram] I would run fsck but from my search it doesn't seem like this is easily recoverable. A reinstall might be easier and faster. [15:20] [telegram] I try to reinstall the system. Thanks for your help, sir (re @kc2bez: I would run fsck but from my search it doesn't seem like this is easily recoverable. A reinstall might be easier and faster.) [15:21] [telegram] 👍 [15:37] [telegram] hello, [15:37] [telegram] need help ! [15:37] [telegram] I have a acer Aspire 4752 ( i3 2350M ) laptop. and I want to install Linux on my laptop. but I'm totally new in the linux platform. so, which one should be good for the laptop ? help me please 🥺 [15:49] [telegram] Try first looking the lubuntu manual [15:49] [telegram] https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/ [15:51] [telegram] I just finished to backup some files I needed, and this is the only thing I can do with the installation program 😅 : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/0c0b66ad/file_3982.jpg [15:51] [telegram] (And, sometimes, in similar cases partitioning always failed to me) (re @UnrealNinjaMark: ) [15:52] [telegram] If you still have your disk mounted you need to unmount it before reinstalling. [15:53] [telegram] Easiest way is to just restart. [15:53] [telegram] Ok! (re @kc2bez: Easiest way is to just restart.) [15:54] [telegram] I recommend using the live iso to become a little familiar before installing. (re @Muhammad_Zakariya: hello, [15:54] [telegram] need help ! [15:54] [telegram] I have a acer Aspire 4752 ( i3 2350M ) laptop. and I want to install Linux on my laptop. but I'm totally new in the linux platform. so, which one should be good for the laptop ? help me please) [16:02] kc2bez: is this a quote? because you are not "totally new in the linux platform" [16:03] oh right it's a quotation from Muhammad [16:03] hard to tell on IRC [16:03] [telegram] Sorry tomreyn [16:04] [telegram] Telegram replies are strange on irc [16:04] hehe, no need to be sorry, it's just a result of the ... imperfect bridge [16:10] [telegram] I successfully reinstalled the system, and now it works (re @kc2bez: Easiest way is to just restart.) [16:11] [telegram] Perfect [20:19] I have downloaded the 21.10 ver of Lubuntu and have tried to install it on 2 newer computers. And it's failed during every try. The Burn of the DVD went perfectly. I don't want to waste another DVD if this is a common issue. What could be the problem? [20:20] can't they boot from usb stick? [20:20] [telegram] did you verifu the ISO first before burning? [20:20] [telegram] failed dvd install with the iso usually means a bad ISO [20:21] Huh? Why would that be necessary...but no, I didn't. [20:21] The burn program said it went well. [20:21] [telegram] thats actually an unspoken rule - verify the ISO sums before using the ISO. [20:22] [telegram] https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu#1-overview [20:22] How to do that? [20:22] verifying the iso is a must, if the checksum doesn't match you could have a corrupt iso [20:22] and instead of wasting dvd's use usb sticks :) [20:22] [telegram] adapt that process for the lubuntu ISOs [20:23] USB sticks don't fit in my DVD pouch very well. Also, they're not as inexpensive as the DVDs and you get a permanent copy for installing on multiple computers. [20:24] Anywho, how do I check the checksum? [20:24] read the link that was given [20:24] [telegram] https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu#1-overview [20:24] Okay, thanks. 2nd question... [20:25] I was trying to install Lubuntu on my backup computer and since the DVD didn't work, I downloaded and installed from the internet. [20:26] It seemed to go well, no error messages. And when I boot, I see it says 21.10 Lubuntu [20:26] BUT, the desktop is the exact same as before. How do I get Lubuntu to run? [20:27] Should I see a different desktop config? [20:28] jim_hitek: I don't think I understand your question. What was your previous desktop? [20:29] Using Mate on Ubuntu 20.04. [20:30] How exactly did you install Lubuntu over the Internet? [20:31] Dunno. I came here to this page, clicked on downloads...hold on... [20:32] Err, I don't recall for sure. Lemme go check...BRB. [20:36] It's booting, and the first splash screen after the Grub (which shows Ubuntu) shows Lubuntu, then goes black while it's booting. [20:37] Then the pswrd screen shows up...the one I installed, then it just boots to Ubuntu. Was there supposed to be a Lubuntu boot choice somewhere, Like in Grub? [20:38] how did you install lubuntu over the internet.... [20:38] Dunno, just downloaded it and installed it following the install directions. [20:39] PS I FOUND IT! [20:39] from where [20:39] Don't remember from where. And official site though. [20:39] An official site. [20:39] you got to know exactlay what you have done [20:39] otherwise we are not able to help you further [20:40] sorry, to me it makes no sense at all [20:40] 'An official site...' WHICH site [20:40] I found it so don't need help now. It's booting to Lubuntu now. It was on the pswd page. [20:41] yeah right [20:41] Or rather the link to it is there. [20:41] And it's up and running! Yea! [20:42] sorry if i'm being sceptical and don't believe one single thing [20:42] Says Lubuntu 20.04 so I'll need to upgrade. [20:43] Not necessarily 20.04 is an LTS and still supported. [20:43] Aren't you the suspicious type. Me too. But in this case, what I said is perfectly true, I found it online somewhere, downloaded it, and it installed. And it's now running. [20:43] you said it was Lubuntu 21.10 [20:43] now it's 20.04 all of the sudden [20:43] I thought it was. Guess not. [20:44] I do things fast. [20:44] sure... [20:44] And you're a troll. [20:45] have a nice one and good luck with your install. Hope you enjoy it [20:45] nah. i suspect YOU are the troll here [20:47] You would be wrong. I do like the look of the desktop. Pretty nice. [20:47] Buh bye.
