| nearlyNon | so, | 02:00 |
|---|---|---|
| nearlyNon | I have Windows 10 installed | 02:01 |
| nearlyNon | and gparted doesn't seem to recognize the partition as existing, it just views the hard drive as a huge unallocated block | 02:01 |
| nearlyNon | I've been looking up tutorials but they're all wildly inconsistent and none of them are for windows 10 and I'm not sure how well they'd apply | 02:01 |
| nearlyNon | how can I install Xubuntu on the empty unallocated space I have next to the windows partition | 02:02 |
| nearlyNon | okay reading up on it it may be because of fastboot but I'm 90% sure I disabled that but I'll check then ask again if it doesn't work still | 02:16 |

| nearlyNon | well that didn't do anything | 02:37 |
| nearlyNon | still can't find the partitions on Xubuntu... | 02:37 |
| Unit193 | UEFI? You boot 64bit Xubuntu in UEFI mode? | 02:38 |
| Unit193 | !uefi | 02:38 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 02:38 |
| nearlyNon | I'm booting a live CD of 64x xubuntu | 02:39 |
| nearlyNon | how do I boot a live CD in UEFI | 02:39 |
| nearlyNon | :? | 02:39 |
| nearlyNon | oh | 02:40 |
| nearlyNon | I'll go into the BIOS settings I think I messed a thing up there | 02:40 |
| nearlyNon | it says legacy on the HDD | 02:44 |
| nearlyNon | and if I set the boot mode to UEFI it shows no boot devices at all | 02:45 |
| nearlyNon | still nothing despite disabling fast boot and disabling win8OS specialized loading, the boot is set to Legacy and the HDD doesn't show up as an EFI boot device | 02:54 |
| nearlyNon | it just shows up as 931.51 GiB of unallocated nothingness, and I disabled fast boot and did a proper shutdown | 02:55 |
| nearlyNon | it IS booting the disk in UEFI mode | 02:57 |
| nearlyNon | for some reason in file manager it lets me access my windows files by clicking on a "913 GB volume" on the desktop | 02:59 |
| nearlyNon | but it still doesn't seem to detect that the volume has partitions | 02:59 |
| drc | nearlyNon: It's pretty obvious you're not going to get an answer in this channel tonight (and I personally have no knowledge of Windows 10, fast boot or UEFI), and it doesn't seem to be a Xubuntu-specific problem. I'd ask in #ubuntu (or one of the other/larger 'buntu channels)...more eyeballs there. | 03:03 |
| drc | Maybe even one of the windows channels. | 03:04 |
| nearlyNon_ | mmkay then | 03:05 |
| Unit193 | Err, right. #ubuntu is a good idea. | 03:07 |
| nearlyNon_ | I've gone to #ubuntu, no clue if it'll turn up anything yet | 03:10 |
| nearlyNon_ | so far all I've figured out is that the drive is definitely MBR | 03:19 |
| CountryfiedLinux | If I add the Numix PPA and bring in the circle icons and plymouth will it conflict with the officially supported numix gtk and icon themes that are preinstalled? I was gonna remove the preinstalled ones first but it says it will also remove xubuntu-setting xubuntu-artwork and xubuntu-desktop? Or can this be avoided if I just simply remove the preinstalled Numix theme folders? | 04:40 |
