| annabel_ | Hi everyone, i was wondering if you may be able to help. i have a vanilla install of lubuntu 14.10 and i am trying to get an onscreen keyboard on the lock screen. i have sudo apt-get install onboard (on screen keyboard) but under the accessibility icon (circle with a man inside it) top right of the lock screen the only options there are "Large font" and "High Contrast" | 14:35 |
| fig | I've got a 250 GB hard drive and I'm installing lubuntu on a 50 GB partition. Where should the mount point be? | 21:31 |
| wxl | fig: ummmmmmm, /? :) | 21:32 |
| fig | wxl, is that a guess, or is it a stupid question? :) | 21:32 |
| wxl | fig: no question is stupid, but that's kind of the default set up | 21:32 |
| fig | gotcha, thanks | 21:32 |
| wxl | you can make it whatever you want tho | 21:32 |
| fig | wxl: just curious, if I were to remove my dual boot configuration, how do I get rid of the bootloader? | 21:38 |
| wxl | well assuming your bootloader is grub, fig, you just change it, not remove it. | 21:39 |
| fig | change it? What do you mean? | 21:39 |
| rww | does "remove my dual boot configuration" mean keeping lubuntu or keeping your other OS? | 21:39 |
| wxl | you update grub to tell it that there's only one image to boot to :) | 21:39 |
| fig | keeping my other OS, windows | 21:40 |
| rww | usual method is http://superuser.com/a/289496 | 21:41 |
| rww | tl;dr: you reinstall Windows' bootloader over the top of it | 21:41 |
| fig | huh....OK. I actually did make a recovery USB when I bought this computer, so I guess that should work | 21:42 |
| fig | and I do have everything backed up on a hard drive too | 21:42 |
| fig | in case things go south | 21:42 |
| fig | all right, about to install on my partition, and it's telling me I have to make a 1 MB partition for the bootloader, otherwise I'll have trouble later. It says I should designate it as a reserved BIOS boot area...... | 21:45 |
| fig | should that be logical or primary? | 21:45 |
| fig | and am I correct in assuming that the mount point for that should be /boot ? | 21:46 |
| fig | wxl, rww ^^^ | 21:46 |
| wxl | if you're getting rid of lubuntu and keeping windows, it might be more of a windows question, fig | 21:47 |
| wxl | i'm pretty sure there's a ##windows channel aruond here somewhere | 21:48 |
| fig | no, no, that was a hypothetical for future endeavors | 21:48 |
| wxl | and even still | 21:48 |
| fig | I'm installing lubuntu alongside windows right now | 21:48 |
| wxl | hypothetically, it's not something that i have any experience with | 21:48 |
| wxl | and i doubt many folks in the community do | 21:48 |
| wxl | and if they do, they probably haven't removed lubuntu | 21:48 |
| wxl | if anything, they've removed windows :) | 21:48 |
| fig | rww gave me an adequate response a moment ago, so I'm not really concerned about that....again, a hypothetical for something in the future | 21:49 |
| fig | for now.... | 21:49 |
| fig | what are the right parameters for the bootloader partition? | 21:49 |
| wxl | grub is in /boot | 21:49 |
| fig | cool..... | 21:49 |
| fig | and logical or primary? I would assume logical since it isn't primary | 21:50 |
| fig | but it could be I guess | 21:50 |
