| xu-help49w | i use xubuntu 24.04 in french my desktop folder should be called "Bureau" but it's still called in english "Desktop" how to change it ? | 17:12 |
| xangua | Startup applications, something about folder change name xu-help49w | 17:47 |
| xubuntu | hello? | 18:40 |
| xubuntu | The bloody distribution isnt installing | 18:40 |
| xubuntu | it keeps failing | 18:40 |
| xubuntu | this is the 5th bloody attempt | 18:40 |
| xubuntu | I want to sleep | 18:40 |
| diogeness | xubuntu: calm down | 18:40 |
| diogeness | explain the issue | 18:40 |
| xubuntu | it gets stuck at acquiring and extracting image from cp:///tmp/tmpyleamdm2/mount | 18:41 |
| xubuntu | it works for a little while | 18:41 |
| xubuntu | it goes haywire and starts unmounting some things | 18:41 |
| xubuntu | then the whole installation farts out | 18:41 |
| diogeness | what ISO are you using? | 18:41 |
| xubuntu | the one i downloaded 4 hours ago | 18:42 |
| xubuntu | pretty new | 18:42 |
| xubuntu | using ventoy | 18:42 |
| xubuntu | and UEFI | 18:42 |
| diogeness | try simply: sudo cp /path/to/xubuntu.iso /dev/sdX | 18:42 |
| diogeness | replace sdX with your druve | 18:43 |
| diogeness | drive^ | 18:43 |
| xubuntu | 1 sec | 18:43 |
| xubuntu | uh... | 18:43 |
| xubuntu | how do i find out my drive name | 18:43 |
| xubuntu | I forgor | 18:43 |
| diogeness | after copying don't forget it's very importand to run: sync | 18:43 |
| diogeness | to find out your drive run: lsblk | 18:44 |
| xubuntu | im supposing sda2 with 166gigs of size is the drive | 18:44 |
| diogeness | noo | 18:45 |
| xubuntu | oh | 18:45 |
| diogeness | stop | 18:45 |
| xubuntu | you mean my installation medium? | 18:45 |
| diogeness | i mean your USB removable drive | 18:45 |
| diogeness | sorry for misleading. | 18:45 |
| xubuntu | no no, youre a godsend | 18:45 |
| xubuntu | so I got sdb with 14.8 gigs size | 18:46 |
| xubuntu | under it I have sdb1 with again 14.8 size | 18:46 |
| xubuntu | and ventoy with 3.8g | 18:46 |
| xubuntu | sdb has 0 disk, sdb1 has 0partition and ventoy has 0dm | 18:47 |
| diogeness | then you do: sudo cp /path/to/xubuntu.iso /dev/sdb | 18:47 |
| diogeness | but be careful | 18:47 |
| diogeness | it will destroy everything on that drive. | 18:47 |
| xubuntu | How worse can it get | 18:47 |
| xubuntu | Im sorry for being a dumbass | 18:48 |
| xubuntu | but | 18:48 |
| diogeness | also tell me when last time you had succesfully installed anything out of this USB drive? | 18:48 |
| xubuntu | where's the xubuntu iso | 18:48 |
| xubuntu | i know its in my drive | 18:49 |
| diogeness | run: ls ~/Downloads | grep -i xub | 18:49 |
| xubuntu | I'd say 8 hours ago | 18:49 |
| diogeness | do you get any output? | 18:49 |
| xubuntu | nope | 18:49 |
| xubuntu | empty as my head | 18:49 |
| diogeness | then you should search where you have downloaded the xubuntu iso | 18:50 |
| diogeness | or download it again if it got removed | 18:50 |
| xubuntu | In my USB? | 18:50 |
| diogeness | or get it from USB | 18:50 |
| xubuntu | How | 18:50 |
| diogeness | copy it over from ventoy folder containing ISOs to your HDD | 18:51 |
| xubuntu | Im livebooting | 18:52 |
| xubuntu | cant access the USB | 18:52 |
| xubuntu | also, no OS left on device | 18:52 |
| xubuntu | its an empty slate | 18:52 |
| xubuntu | I've been lurching from one disaster to another | 18:52 |
| xubuntu | I should've added a backup iso. :< | 18:54 |
| diogeness | do you have another USB drive? | 18:55 |
| xubuntu | I had one but it got farted | 18:55 |
| xubuntu | short answer no | 18:55 |
| xubuntu | Im done aint I | 18:56 |
| diogeness | and what OS is currently instralled on the computer? | 18:56 |
| xubuntu | nothing | 18:56 |
| xubuntu | the first installation attempt wiped by comp clean | 18:57 |
| diogeness | so it's a blank HDD? | 18:57 |
| xubuntu | yup | 18:57 |
| diogeness | what other OSes you have there on ventory? | 18:57 |
| xubuntu | ... | 18:57 |
| xubuntu | none | 18:57 |
| xubuntu | i shouldve added more | 18:57 |
| xubuntu | oh well, I'll just head to the local cybercafe | 18:58 |
| xubuntu | and get an iso for a new distribution | 18:58 |
| diogeness | yep that looks like a problem, we can try to do something but it's a loong process | 18:58 |
| xubuntu | mint sounds great | 18:58 |
| diogeness | maybe would take hours | 18:59 |
| xubuntu | nah its fine, you've been great diogenes | 18:59 |
