[12:55] <choki> hello phiscribe
[12:55] <choki> where is philw?
[14:35] <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"
[21:31] <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?
[21:32] <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
[21:38] <fig> wxl: just curious, if I were to remove my dual boot configuration, how do I get rid of the bootloader?
[21:39] <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 :)
[21:40] <fig> keeping my other OS, windows
[21:41] <rww> usual method is http://superuser.com/a/289496
[21:41] <rww> tl;dr: you reinstall Windows' bootloader over the top of it
[21:42] <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
[21:45] <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?
[21:46] <fig> and am I correct in assuming that the mount point for that should be /boot ?
[21:46] <fig> wxl, rww ^^^
[21:47] <wxl> if you're getting rid of lubuntu and keeping windows, it might be more of a windows question, fig
[21:48] <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 :)
[21:49] <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.....
[21:50] <fig> and logical or primary? I would assume logical since it isn't primary
[21:50] <fig> but it could be I guess
