DwoffiWhy install always fails and stuck on 33% creating ext4 file system....13:06
Dwoffi?13:06
BluesKajDwoffi, which Kubuntu ?13:07
Dwoffi15.0413:08
Dwoffiimean13:08
Dwoffi15.1013:08
BluesKajDwoffi, 15.04 is no longer supported, install 15.1013:08
Dwoffiy i tried.13:08
Dwoffii tried to install ubuntu 15.10 too, didnt work, tho i had kubuntu 15.10 installed couple of months ago13:09
Dwoffibut now it wont work, even its the same ssd13:09
BluesKajDwoffi, suggest you set up the partitions before you install using gparted live media13:09
Dwoffiokay13:10
Dwoffiis that correct that i create 8gb swap and ~60gb ext4 /13:10
Dwoffido i need to create /boot or home, or should it work with /13:10
BluesKajand use manual partitioning and make a / and a /home partition13:11
Dwoffiis the /home must have?13:11
Dwoffidoesnt it include in /13:11
BluesKajno boot partition needed anymore13:11
Dwoffihow about home partition?13:11
BluesKajno , /home is not amust have , but it makes it much easier to reinstall or install new OS  with a separate /home13:12
Dwoffiokay13:12
Dwoffibut is that correct that software etc are installed in / not in /home?13:13
Dwoffiin home there is just files13:13
BluesKajyou just instalkl the new Os to  /  and set the /home mountpoint with formatting13:13
Dwoffiokay13:13
BluesKajwitout formatting rather13:13
BluesKajwithout13:13
Dwoffibut13:13
Dwoffithat doesnt solve that installing problem13:14
Dwoffii did deleted those volumes in windows diskmanager, so its empty, and i just create new ones with installmedia, but it wont go further that 33%13:14
BluesKajDwoffi, if youn set the partition to ext4 with gparted then the install should work smoothly unless you have a damaged drive13:15
Dwoffiokay13:16
BluesKajDwoffi, is this you first try installing linux?13:18
Dwoffino13:20
BluesKajon this machine?13:21
Dwoffino13:21
Dwoffii had ubuntu 14, then i installed kubuntu 15.10, then i tried to install ubuntu 15.10 and it didnt work13:22
Dwoffiin same ssd13:22
BluesKajsoo this is a computer with BIOS, not UEFI?13:22
Dwoffiyup13:23
Dwoffii think so x)13:24
BluesKajhow old is the computer ?13:24
Dwoffiatleast motherboard speaks bios13:24
Dwoffi201113:24
BluesKajok , because most pcs after 2010 are UEFI equipped13:25
Dwoffidoes that make a difference in this case?13:25
BluesKajthen it's more difficult to install since the the uefi bootloader needs to have grub installed to it13:26
Dwoffiwell i had already so i dont think so its because of motherboard13:27
BluesKajbut if you already installed ubuntu without difficulty then it should install ok13:27
Dwoffiyes, that i dont get why it wont work now...13:29
BluesKajtry making a 15G partiton for / and the rest for /home .../home contains your config files etc, so most of your settings are saved for then ext install13:30
BluesKajand a swap file that's eqaul to or a bit larger then your RAM memory13:31
BluesKajequal even13:32
lordievaderDwoffi: Is the drive healthy?13:32
Dwoffi8gb ram, 8gb swap13:32
Dwoffilordievader: it should be atleast13:32

Dwoffiyep, the disk is like 3months old13:39
lordievaderDwoffi: Can you manually create the partitions and filesystems?13:40
Dwoffiwell i can learn :D13:40
Dwoffii had only used installation manual settings13:40
Dwoffinot from terminal13:40
lordievaderDwoffi: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Disks In particular read the section about parted 'Default: Using parted to partition the disk'.13:41
Dwoffiokay, but why does that matter? i mean why wouldn installation media works?13:42
=== diego_ is now known as x_GeL
lordievaderDwoffi: Well, I'd like to know if a manual creation of partition and filesystem also hangs.13:43
BluesKajthink gparted is easier to use13:45
lordievaderPerhaps.13:47
Dwoffiill try make with gparted13:54
Dwoffiit just spam "cant have a partition outside the disk"13:55
BluesKajDwoffi, outsize/oversize  maybe larger than the disk?14:07
Dwoffisome ntfs things i guess14:11
Dwoffibut now its copying files14:11
Dwoffithumps up14:11
Dwoffidunno that what would be the best sizes14:11
Dwoffii put swap 8gb, / 25gb, /home 35 gb14:11
BluesKajDwoffi, 15G for / and whatever is left , depending on how much you want to save for other OSs or storage.14:13
BluesKajwhatever you need for /home for data like pictures, media, music etc14:13
Dwoffii dont use /home so much14:13
Dwoffieverything is another drives / nas14:14
BluesKajit's your home directory14:14
Dwoffihopefully / 25gb will be inaf14:14
Dwoffiyes but there is nothing else than downloads i guess etc14:14
BluesKaj15 for / is enough14:14

BluesKajDwoffi,  boot into Kubuntu-live-media disk then open a terminal and do,  sudo grub-install /dev/sdX , sdX is the / partition, most likely sda114:30

BluesKajnot the same disk14:41
lordievaderDwoffi: From what drive do you boot?14:41

Dwoffii put boot sde614:42
