[17:49] <vijay> how to install edubuntu add-on in ubuntu 10.04
[17:49] <vijay> anybody help :)
[19:33] <FoolsRun> hi, is anyone here? I have a simple install question
[19:34] <alkisg> !ask
[19:35] <FoolsRun> The Edubuntu installer is not recognizing an existing LVM partition on the server I wish to install it on. The existing LVM partition contains an old Fedora installation that I'd like to dual boot, at least for the short term. Can I make the installer see and partition LVM?
[19:37] <alkisg> FoolsRun: edubuntu uses the same installer (ubiquity) as ubuntu, so you'll have better support if you ask that at #ubuntu
[19:37] <FoolsRun> alkisg: I've been asking for an hour in there and nobody's acknowledged my question. Thought I might have better luck here. I'll try there again, I guess.
[19:38] <alkisg> FoolsRun: I know the alternate CD recognises LVM, but I'm not sure about the desktop cd (=edubuntu/ubuntu)
[19:39] <FoolsRun> alkisg: yeah, and there isn't an Alternate CD for Edu, right?
[19:39] <alkisg> No, but you can install edubuntu-desktop after the installation
[19:41] <FoolsRun> mostly I'm concerned about the integrity of my existing Fedora install. I don't want to bork it while trying to get the disk partitioned.
[19:43]  * alkisg experience with LVM was just formatting a system that had LVM on it, to replace it with a normal partitioning scheme :D
[19:47] <FoolsRun> I'd like to just convert the partition that's there, but I doubt I could do that out from under Fedora
[19:48] <alkisg> If you have some other disk to use for backup, a tar/untar would suffice, I guess
[19:49] <alkisg> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR
[19:49]  * alkisg has tried cloning with tar and it worked fine
[19:51] <FoolsRun> yeah, no other disk readily available
