[02:00] <nearlyNon> so,
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <nearlyNon> how can I install Xubuntu on the empty unallocated space I have next to the windows partition
[02:16] <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

[02:37] <nearlyNon> well that didn't do anything
[02:37] <nearlyNon> still can't find the partitions on Xubuntu...
[02:38] <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
[02:39] <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> :?
[02:40] <nearlyNon> oh
[02:40] <nearlyNon> I'll go into the BIOS settings I think I messed a thing up there
[02:44] <nearlyNon> it says legacy on the HDD
[02:45] <nearlyNon> and if I set the boot mode to UEFI it shows no boot devices at all
[02:54] <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
[02:55] <nearlyNon> it just shows up as 931.51 GiB of unallocated nothingness, and I disabled fast boot and did a proper shutdown
[02:57] <nearlyNon> it IS booting the disk in UEFI mode
[02:59] <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
[03:03] <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.
[03:04] <drc> Maybe even one of the windows channels.
[03:05] <nearlyNon_> mmkay then
[03:07] <Unit193> Err, right.  #ubuntu is a good idea.
[03:10] <nearlyNon_> I've gone to #ubuntu, no clue if it'll turn up anything yet
[03:19] <nearlyNon_> so far all I've figured out is that the drive is definitely MBR
[04:40] <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?
