| guardian_ | I have been trying to install Lubuntu on my my new acer es1 533 laptop. But the installer crashes in when the process is nearly complete. | 11:12 |
|---|---|---|
| guardian_ | I think there is an issue with grub file so I tried to manually install grub which also failed in the first place then I was able to install it. But the OS is not being detected after reinstall | 11:13 |
| guardian_ | My laptop doesnt have a legacy boot option* . Disabled by MAnufacturer | 11:14 |
| guardian_ | Any help would be much appreciated | 11:15 |

| 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 | 11:16 |
| clarux | hi everybody. I'm going to install Lubuntu on a EE | 12:18 |
| clarux | Eeepc900 | 12:18 |
| clarux | it has 2 ssd disks (4+8 G) and an external sd card (32G) | 12:19 |
| clarux | I would like to use LVM to mount the system on a logical 12G partition, and /home on the external disk. Is it possible to do during the installation process? | 12:21 |
| hateball | I cant remember if Lubuntu lets you do that through the GUI installer, otherwise you may have to create PV/LV and partition manually first | 12:22 |

| guardian_ | Hi, I posted my pblm earlier too and oone of the user provided me with a link, but while following the instruction in the link my system got stuck. | 13:56 |
| guardian_ | So my issue is I cant install lubuntu 16.10 on my new acer es1 533 laptop | 13:57 |
| guardian_ | The installer crashes when the process is nearly complete. WhenI tried to install ubutntu the process was stuck at the installation of grub2 file | 13:58 |
| guardian_ | Its been 2 days since I am stuck with this issue. Some help would be much appreciated. | 13:58 |
| guardian_ | *My lap only have UEFI boot support | 13:58 |
| guardian_ | I searched in lot of forums n found a lot of people had the same issue and they returned the lap. | 13:59 |
| guardian_ | When I contacted acer support they to told me to install win 10 x64 | 14:00 |
| guardian_ | I tried it and it worked without any issues. But I want lubuntu only | 14:00 |
| guardian_ | I tried this command : [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "EFI boot on HDD" || echo "Legacy boot on HDD" EFI boot on HDD ; it returned EFI boot on HDD | 14:02 |
| guardian_ | "Installed in UEFI mode" | 14:03 |
| hateball | guardian_: fwiw, EriC^^ in #ubuntu tends to be good with the UEFI stuff | 14:11 |
| hateball | guardian_: and thats DE agnostic, so you could try asking there since it's quite idle here right now | 14:11 |
| guardian_ | ok, I will try on the other channel then | 14:12 |
| Capum321 | hello | 14:41 |
| Capum321 | http://askubuntu.com/a/131022 the first code block 'way to use dbus' doesn't work for lubuntu? | 14:42 |
| leszek | Capum321: is that a question or is it a finding ? | 14:57 |
| Capum321 | both | 15:02 |
| Capum321 | i am trying to suspend with a keyboard shortcut so i made a script in ~/bin | 15:03 |
| Capum321 | with it | 15:03 |
| Capum321 | `No such method 'Suspend' | 15:04 |
| Capum321 | maybe with systemctl ? | 15:04 |
| leszek | Capum321: why not using pm-suspend ? | 15:18 |
| AlexPortable | Anyone can help me find out what these packages are for?: lightdm, lightdm-gtk-greeter, lubuntu-artwork, lubuntu-default-settings, lubuntu-icon-theme, lxpanel, lxsession, lxterminal, openbox, pcmanfm, plymouth-theme-lubuntu-logo, plymouth-theme-lubuntu-text, ubuntu-mono | 17:20 |
| leszek | AlexPortable: apt-cache show <packagename> and you will get a short description for that package | 17:22 |
| leszek | or you can use synaptic which should show it aswell | 17:22 |
| AlexPortable | E: No package found | 18:51 |
| AlexPortable | I'm trying to stripe down some of the things on lubuntu, which things can i safely remove? | 19:16 |
| AlexPortable | and how do I enable autologin | 19:18 |
| AlexPortable | How is lubuntu core different from debian? | 19:57 |
| AlexPortable | and how can i prevent it downloading everything from internet | 19:57 |
| wxl | it's based on ubuntu rather than debian | 19:57 |
| AlexPortable | oh | 19:57 |
| AlexPortable | but ubuntu is based on debian | 19:58 |
| wxl | sure is | 19:58 |
| wxl | you can turn off networking if you don't want an internet connection | 19:58 |
| AlexPortable | i watn an internet connection | 19:58 |
| AlexPortable | but not so i will have 54 mb iso and it will download the rest from internet | 19:58 |
| wxl | then what is "everything" | 19:58 |
| AlexPortable | no idea | 19:58 |
| AlexPortable | some debian installer used to do this | 19:58 |
| AlexPortable | i think that was netinstall, so you had very small iso and the rest would be from internet | 19:58 |
| wxl | well if you plan on installing lubuntu-core, you're pretty much going to end up using the netinstall | 19:59 |
| AlexPortable | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso | 19:59 |
| AlexPortable | this is the same? | 19:59 |
| wxl | yep | 19:59 |
| wxl | if you want to install standard lubuntu, you don't need the internet | 19:59 |
| AlexPortable | i want to make some sort of kodi interface | 19:59 |
| AlexPortable | since kodibuntu has been abandoned | 20:00 |
| AlexPortable | but for that i don't need software like libreoffice, text editor, etc | 20:00 |
| wxl | so then use the network | 20:00 |
| wxl | OR | 20:01 |
| wxl | install stanard lubuntu and get rid of what you don't want | 20:01 |
| AlexPortable | the latter is more hard | 20:01 |
| AlexPortable | can i use preseed from debian for lubuntu? | 20:01 |
| wxl | untested | 20:01 |
| wxl | you're welcome to try | 20:02 |
| AlexPortable | How can i enable autologin to my account? | 21:07 |
| AlexPortable | and start a program at boot | 21:07 |
