| SuperTramp83 | Hi, I'm trying to install Xbuntu 16.10 (16.04 does not even get recognized by this laptop) on a Acer ES1-533-p4WC, but for the life of me, I can not manage to do it. Specifically, the installation freezes completely (keyboard unresponsive) when installing grub-efi. In BIOS I see only UEFI (no legacy BIOS) and secure boot is disabled. The machine came with Win10 preinstalled. I tried boot repair, no game, I tried manually partitioning the disk | 15:47 |
| xangua | Why secure boot disabled? | 15:50 |
| zincing | Spass: I mean, how do I change it in the menu and when using Super-T? | 15:53 |
| SuperTramp83 | xangua: I've read it is better to disable it in order to install anything non win10 on this machine | 15:54 |
| xangua | SuperTramp83: did you check the "install updates online"box? | 15:54 |
| SuperTramp83 | xangua: I tried also installing latest fedora, same behavior. Tried with a win7 dvd I borrowed. Not even that. | 15:55 |
| SuperTramp83 | xangua: I tried that too, yes | 15:55 |
| xangua | SuperTramp83: I mean if you checked it... Tried with it disabled? At least there was a bug in the installer with that option checked in 16.04 | 15:56 |
| SuperTramp83 | xangua: I tried every possible combination, checked and unchecked. | 15:56 |
| SuperTramp83 | xangua: I installed many GNUx distros on a lot of laptops. This is the first time I can not manage to do it. I have no idea, I'm really confused. I am starting to think this laptop was completely locked down in order to make installation of anything nonWin10 impossible. But that is just a guess. | 15:59 |
| xangua | I just installed Ubuntu on my very first UEFI machine, I know the feeling | 16:00 |
| Spass | zincing: You can change Super+T behaviour in the Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts settings, and menu entry in the menu editor (menulibre). I don't know is there a 'global' way to do that. | 16:00 |
| xangua | You might have better chance of help in the main Ubuntu channel or forums SuperTramp83 | 16:01 |
| Spass | zincing: You may try to change an entry for default terminal in the Preferred Applications settings. | 16:01 |
| SuperTramp83 | hehe, already there xangua, tx | 16:01 |
| Spass | zincing: Just checked, works for me. | 16:02 |
| zincing | Spass: Thanks! | 16:06 |

| GrandPa-G | I am using xfce4 via xubuntu dist. I am trying to get a wifi usb to work. It will only start working when I actually start the gui session, ie login. Any ideas how to get it to start at boot? | 17:32 |
| xubuntu76i | Does your computer have internal wifi? | 17:34 |
| GrandPa-G | no, it is a usb dongle. Works fine after I login in, just not before | 17:35 |
| xubuntu76i | unfortunately I'm new to Xubuntu, i've used Zorin linux for a couple years and it worked fine until I accidentally deleted the boot partition | 17:36 |
| xubuntu76i | I think, you may just have to keep doing it that way, not sure though, but I will however wish you all the best. | 17:37 |
| GrandPa-G | How do I get a autologin to work? I see instructions for lightdm conf file, but I don't seem to have one. | 17:38 |
| xubuntu76i | have you tried running the command in terminal? that's how I got my internal wifi working on my old laptop | 17:39 |
| xubuntu76i | you can do a youtube search for your problemand see if you get a hit there, I use youtube to help me solve problems all the time. Sometimesthey don't work the first time, but you may get faster help there than here. | 17:41 |
