[00:00] <xu-irc66w> i tried installing LMD but it took forever so i closed(scan)
[00:00] <gnrp> xu-irc66w: Can you maybe make a paste of the whole thing in the terminal? Or a screenshot?
[00:00] <xu-irc66w> it is what it is
[00:01] <gnrp> xu-irc66w: Try maybe once `sudo apt install --fix-broken`
[00:02] <xu-irc66w> Well then its just nvrending repeating message
[00:02] <gnrp> which is...?
[00:03] <xu-irc66w> https://dpaste.com/949754B6V
[00:04] <gnrp> ok
[00:04] <gnrp> restart
[00:04] <xu-irc66w> i cant do that either, nor shut down
[00:04] <gnrp> there is apparently some process still running (something you said you closed during installation) that is still holding the lock, and probably waiting for some input from you. You can restart (or kill that process, but restarting might be easier). And then you have to do the `sudo apt install --fix-broken`
[00:04] <gnrp> hu? Why not?
[00:07] <xu-irc20w> sudo apt install --fix-broken?
[00:07] <gnrp> yep
[00:08] <xu-irc20w> Yeah its dun 0 problems
[00:08] <gnrp> ok, then you can try again now to install rkhunter
[00:08] <gnrp> sudo apt install rkhunter
[00:08] <xu-irc20w> I did it yesterday aswell it will just show the same message
[00:09] <gnrp> which is...?
[00:09] <gnrp> ah, sorry, please also do once: `sudo dpkg --configure -a`
[00:09] <xu-irc20w> how many times can i install it? shouldnt it say "already installed" or something
[00:10] <xu-irc20w> well the configuration fix again
[00:10] <gnrp> look. I have no clue what you see there. Either you paste the output or we have no clue what is happening.
[00:10] <xu-irc20w> https://dpaste.com/5G2RHVDJU
[00:11] <gnrp> and if you paste the output, paste also the command you were running. The whole thing.
[00:11] <xu-irc20w> -A
[00:11] <xu-irc20w> a*
[00:11] <gnrp> if you run `ps aux | grep 1935` ?
[00:11] <gnrp> also, one-line output you can just paste here, no need for pastebin
[00:13] <xu-irc20w> https://dpaste.com/5FB93X56L
[00:13] <gnrp> did you try again to install rkhunter?
[00:13] <xu-irc20w> "AHA!?"
[00:14] <gnrp> then `sudo kill 1935`
[00:14] <xu-irc20w> nothing
[00:15] <gnrp> yeah, that's good
[00:15] <gnrp> and then try again `sudo apt install --fix-broken`
[00:15] <gnrp> and `sudo dpkg --configure -a`
[00:15] <gnrp> and then `sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix`
[00:15] <xu-irc20w> i just ran these we haven't changed anything since last
[00:17] <gnrp> hm, ok
[00:17] <gnrp> can you please take a screenshot of what happens when you try to install rkhunter?
[00:17] <xu-irc20w> https://dpaste.com/CR7PKSDFH
[00:18] <xu-irc20w> running dpkg --info
[00:19] <xu-irc20w> something about a "deb-filename" needed
[00:19] <xu-irc20w> https://dpaste.com/DGD843QEG
[00:21] <gnrp> !screenshot
[00:21] <gnrp> I feel like you could also install nullmailer or so and then go on. But without knowing where the installation of rkhunter stops...
[00:21] <xu-irc20w> The text is what it is, nothing more nothing less
[00:21] <gnrp> anyway, I'm off to bed. Tomorrow I can help if you're online and willing to get help. gn8

[05:19] <xu-irc20w> 😴
[14:25] <vallotti> Hello!  I've been trying to make a startup usb.  I downloaded the .iso image from xubuntu.org  I've used dd, mkusb, and startup disk creator, but the usb never boots.  Reading from parted shows a boot flag, but the reading from fdisk does not.  Yes, my BIOS is set to boot from an external source.
[14:25] <gnrp> vallotti: where did you dd the iso to?
[14:26] <gnrp> to a partition or to the whole usb drive?
[14:35] <vallotti> The whole drive, so the would be sdb.  Should it have been sdbx?  I notice that, once finished, dd leaves three partitions.
[14:39] <gnrp> no, this is correct
[14:40] <gnrp> what kind of computer are you trying to boot from? Isit more recent? Is maybe Secure Boot activated, or only UEFI boot?
[14:41] <vallotti> I've a Sony VAIO, about eleven years old, now.  It's turning into a dinosaur!
[14:41] <gnrp> (or only legacy boot? I actuall yodn't know what you would need)
[14:42] <gnrp> do you maybe have secure boot on that computer?
[14:47] <vallotti> I don't believe so.  This will be my third or fourth install of xubuntu, and I'm not doing anything differently than I've done in the past.
[14:50] <gnrp> ah, it works when it is installed from the hard drive?
[14:59] <vallotti> Well, I do install xubuntu from the usb.  The problem is that the stick I just made doesn't seem to have a partition from which to boot.  What further confounds is that parted sees a bootable partition, but fdisk does not.  The computer agrees with fdisk.  It's also possible that my computer refuses to boot from a gpt partition table.
[15:32] <vallotti> I believe that this is the problem.  As a test, I made a successful startup disk with another distro, arch.  The arch disk has an msdos partition table.  Is there any way to write the dd command so that the usb stick has an msdos partition table?  I've read the man page, but I'm sure there's something I don't understand.
[21:11] <xu-irc20w> hello gnrp did u have möjlighet to help me today :]
[21:18] <gnrp> xu-irc20w: Maybe ;)
[21:19] <xu-irc20w> well where where we=L
[21:19] <xu-irc20w> something about a .deb-filename
[21:19] <xu-irc20w> (missing)
[21:24] <gnrp> Well, that was something entirely different
[21:24] <gnrp> so your final goal is to install rkhunter
[21:24] <gnrp> can you please once again try to install it and then take a screenshot (an image) of where it's stuck?
[21:24] <gnrp> !screenshot
[21:26] <xu-irc20w> postfix is not installed
[21:37] <xu-irc20w> This youtube is rly strange i cant download it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUYzSaAZk1s
