| james1138 | Hello all. Question about "speed tweaks"... other than "preload", "ureadahead" and remove apt-xapian-index... any other tips on making Lubuntu faster?? | 19:40 |
| sweeps | ahoi. I would like to install lubuntu 14.04 on a laptop that cannot boot from usb but already has a rather old lubuntu running. i also have an empty ext4 partition. can I somehow install to there from within lubuntu or otherwise? | 21:14 |
| ianorlin | sweeps: can you burn a cd ? | 21:14 |
| ianorlin | or does this not have a working cd drive | 21:15 |
| ianorlin | there is something called plop which will boot from the cd and then let you boot from the usb fairly easily | 21:15 |
| ianorlin | or dvd | 21:15 |
| ianorlin | I think there are ways to get it working on external disks but it has been a while since I have used it | 21:16 |
| ianorlin | sweeps: ^ | 21:17 |
| sweeps | I could perhaps boot from an older (l)ubuntu CD, not sure if I can burn another one | 21:17 |
| ianorlin | no you would need a plop cd | 21:18 |
| sweeps | I thought there might be a way just to perhaps dd an image to the hard disc or something like that | 21:18 |
| ianorlin | sweeps: you could but then you would need two hard disks as you cannot install on top of youself | 21:18 |
| ianorlin | which I don't think most laptops have | 21:19 |
| ianorlin | and that would take all data off of it | 21:19 |
| sweeps | oh? I just have a seperate partition | 21:19 |
| ianorlin | dding to the disk will wipe partition table | 21:20 |
| ianorlin | sweeps you can also move the drive physically to another machine if you have another machine you can plug into | 21:20 |
| ianorlin | and install there if it works on usb | 21:21 |
| ianorlin | sweeps: or do you mean dd an installed version of 14.04? | 21:21 |
| krytarik | sweeps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/340156/install-ubuntu-from-iso-image-directly-from-hard-disk-of-a-system-running-linux | 21:21 |
| ianorlin | and point grub to that | 21:22 |
| sweeps | krytarik: that sounds promising, let me read it :) ianorlin: yes I meant something like that | 21:22 |
| sweeps | the grub method sounds great, thanks for digging that out. off to trying it | 21:26 |
