[11:12] <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.
[11:13] <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
[11:14] <guardian_> My laptop doesnt have a legacy boot option* . Disabled by MAnufacturer
[11:15] <guardian_> Any help would be much appreciated

[11:16] <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
[12:18] <clarux> hi everybody. I'm going to install Lubuntu on a EE
[12:18] <clarux> Eeepc900
[12:19] <clarux> it has 2 ssd disks (4+8 G) and an external sd card (32G)
[12:21] <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?
[12:22] <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
[12:25] <malonumas> I try install lubuntu 16.10 lvm not working
[12:25] <malonumas> 16.04 works fine
[12:25] <malonumas>  HexChat: 2.10.2 ** OS: Linux 4.4.0-59-generic x86_64 ** Distro: Ubuntu "xenial" 16.04 ** CPU: 1 x Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU          550  @ 2.00GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 1,99GHz ** RAM: Physical: 1,9GiB, 83,4% free ** Disk: Total: 144,6GiB, 91,8% free ** VGA: 8086:2a02 ** Sound: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel ** Ethernet: 14e4:1693 ** Uptime: 1h 41m 18s **
[13:56] <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.
[13:57] <guardian_> So my issue is I cant install lubuntu 16.10 on my new acer es1 533 laptop
[13:58] <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
[13:59] <guardian_> I searched in lot of forums n found a lot of people had the same issue and they returned the lap.
[14:00] <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
[14:02] <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
[14:03] <guardian_>  "Installed in UEFI mode"
[14:11] <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
[14:12] <guardian_> ok, I will try on the other channel then
[14:41] <Capum321> hello
[14:42] <Capum321> http://askubuntu.com/a/131022 the first code block 'way to use dbus' doesn't work for lubuntu?
[14:57] <leszek> Capum321: is that a question or is it a finding ?
[15:02] <Capum321> both
[15:03] <Capum321> i am trying to suspend with a keyboard shortcut so i made a script in ~/bin
[15:03] <Capum321> with it
[15:04] <Capum321> `No such method 'Suspend'
[15:04] <Capum321> maybe with systemctl ?
[15:18] <leszek> Capum321: why not using pm-suspend ?
[17:20] <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
[17:22] <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
[18:51] <AlexPortable> E: No package found
[19:16] <AlexPortable> I'm trying to stripe down some of the things on lubuntu, which things can i safely remove?
[19:18] <AlexPortable> and how do I enable autologin
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <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
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <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
[20:01] <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
[20:02] <wxl> you're welcome to try
[21:07] <AlexPortable> How can i enable autologin to my account?
[21:07] <AlexPortable> and start a program at boot
