User1: %n kiwi
User1: oops
User2: Evening all. I had some questions about Ubuntu Mate and Chromebooks if someone has some time. I could use some pointers in the right direction.
User3: hi ubuntu-mate
User3: tab, you mean tablet?
User3: What's the model of the tablet?
User3: Okay
User3: hmm
User3: Well that's a tough one. What size is your USB drive?
User3: And the tablet's internal storage is 16GB?
User3: How are you talking to me? From another device?
User3: Or do you have an USB keyboard?
User3: yes but according to you the touchscreen is not working, so how are you tying stuff?
User3: typing *
User3: Okay ubuntu-mate. You're able, let's say using magic for now, to type stuff. Assuming you also have a pointing device. So perform the installation of the system, then use the Welcome splash screen to install the Drivers & Firmware packages. I can't promise it will work, but there might be magic there too.
User3: I'm gonna go eat, it's lunchtime here, good luck.
User3: xmnjzLAa
User3: Damn
User3: Freaking x2x
User4: i installed ubuntu mate with windows xp am very happy with it and now want to have only ubuntu on my pc which is the best way ?thanks
User3: Hi nick__
User3: nick__, it depends if redoing the installation of the computer is an option
User4: should i uninstall everything and do a re install
User4: i have all my old stuff on memory drive and ubuntu reads it all
User3: Easiest way is to copy all the data you want to save from both Ubuntu and Windows onto an external HDD, then do a complete reinstall this time using the whole disk during the partitioning step, when the installer asks you what you want to do you'd pick "Erase disk and install Ubuntu MATE"
User5: nick__, one way is to just change your partitions from a usb stick
User5: no need to reinstall anything
User3: If you don't want to reinstall it's possible but it involves formating some partitions during a boot of the Live USB
User5: no need to format anything
User5: the only problem is that you probably have the windows partition before your linux partition
User5: you could add a home partition over what is now windows, a reinstall is probably easiest
User4: thanks guys you have been a great help it will be easier for me to re install  am not that good with pc i just use it for my finances again thanks

User9: Can you upload a screenshot of the error?
User8: good Bye
User11: ive trying to instal tor.  Package tor isn't available
User12: User11 you have to install the Tor repository first, and then install the Tor Daemon or the Tor Browser Bundle via that
User12: User11 the 'tor' package in the repos I think was removed because it's ancient and goes obsolete at the first update upstream
User12: oop i lied it's still there
User12: but it's an old version
User12: User11 use the terminal, and use `sudo apt-get update`, then do `sudo apt-get install tor`
User12: but you should strongly consider using the Tor Project repos for Tor instead to keep getting it up to date as they update.
User11: thank you
User13: hi
User13: I googling for best 64GB for ubuntu portable flash drive

User14: Just choose the one you like.
User13: I concern about quality and life spin, added to using for ubuntu, I decide to use it for my galaxy tab as backup storage
User14: If a backup storage fails, just replace it, since you have the source data on another device.
User13: a-ok, logical.
