[09:53] <MACscr> Ok, so i installed vanilla ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop and its a bit to slow, so did apt-get install lubuntu-desktop and rebooted. it still seemed to load unity 3d. Is there a step i am missing?
[09:55] <silverlion> MACscr : on that login page there must be a way to change the setting in the upper right corner of your screen
[09:55] <silverlion> at least that's where I change the DEs
[09:56] <MACscr> ah, i missed that. Can i select the default there?
[09:57] <silverlion> affirmative
[13:49] <lion> hey peeps

[23:03] <Hulksmash> hi, as i put 10gb primary ext4 mount point / the rest of my free space becomes unusable
[23:04] <Hulksmash> i need to make 2 logical positions ext4 /home and ext2 swap
[23:04] <Hulksmash> partitions i mean
[23:12] <Hulksmash> guess i had to adds the 2 logical partitions first before making the primary(which was 4th primary)
[23:15] <phillw> Hulksmash: not making a lot of sense...
[23:16] <phillw> as swap is 'swap' it is not ext2 etc.
[23:33] <Hulksmash> i installed lubuntu but it won't boot imgur.com/oLgoYLV help please
[23:36] <Hulksmash> phillw: thank you, noted
[23:36] <Hulksmash> i still need help :(
[23:38] <phillw> Hulksmash: are you booting from CD or USB?
[23:44] <Hulksmash> phillw: usb boot works but post install boot hdd doesn't
[23:45] <phillw> Hulksmash: when you boot the usb device, ask it to do a "check CD". that way we know your USB is not corrupt.
[23:45] <Hulksmash> phillw: i've used this usb to install many distros
[23:45] <phillw> usb writing is some what hit and miss at the moment
[23:46] <phillw> Hulksmash: that matters not, it is if the ISO is corrupted that we need to check... only takes a few minutes :)
[23:47] <Hulksmash> phillw: ok how do i check cd
[23:48] <phillw> boot with it and select 'check CD', this also works on DVD / USB sticks, just a legacy name for doing the full md5 checksum.
[23:50] <Hulksmash> check disc for defects
[23:51] <Hulksmash> no errors found
[23:52] <Hulksmash> it seems to be a problem with uuid?
[23:52] <phillw> Hulksmash: good, that means we have a good ISO to install from
[23:54] <phillw> I'm not familiar with your partition table, can you paste bin up your partition table....
[23:54] <phillw> sudo fdisk -l
