[07:58] <dsv> i m new to xubuntu 16.04. and i have a question,how to instal playonlinux?
[13:01] <xubuntu04i> If I am using the live CD, and want to install with LVM-LUKS on the SECOND harddrive (but leave the first harddrive with another OS on it), how do I go about doing that?
[14:30] <craigbass76> I've got my panels all laid out like I want on my laptop. What's the best way to get them over to my desktop's fresh xubuntu install?
[14:30] <craigbass76> both are 16.04
[14:32] <diogenes_> craigbass76, copy /home/yourusername/.config/xfce4/panel to your new machine's /home/yourusername/.config/
[14:33] <craigbass76> Heh... I've been using Ubuntu since Dapper, and STILL forget to install vim until I use vi the first time.
[14:43] <craigbass76> Well, that didn't work. All I saw in my laptops panel directory were references to buttons. Seems as though I should have a directory for each panel, no?
[14:44] <diogenes_> try moving the entire folder /home/yourusername/.config/xfce4 to your target machine
[14:45] <craigbass76> I will -- I want to log in and out of XFCE clean on that machine first I think -- I tried moving the whole shooting match yesterday and got an error when trying to get into XFCE on the Desktop
[14:58] <craigbass76> diogenes_, Mucho betterer. I think I was still logged into XFCE on the laptop last time I tried copying and failed. That or it was because xubuntu-desktop package had a fight with Mint. I'm runnign straight xub now.
[14:59] <diogenes_> so what is the result?
[14:59] <craigbass76> I'm good to go
[14:59] <diogenes_> ok
[15:00] <craigbass76> Except for not having some of the programs installed yet that links point to (vivaldi, geany, etc) but they're there at least and will start working in a few minutes
[15:01] <craigbass76> With the last copy, I was getting some "Your last session didn't shut down properly" or something error, and I'm not sure which of the two scenarios caused it.
[15:40] <Funky_Boris> anybody here ?
[15:40] <Funky_Boris> I am having problems installing Xubuntu 16.04.3 on a laptop
[15:41] <Funky_Boris> it has that Intel fake RAID, which seems to be ubuntu compatible
[15:42] <Funky_Boris> (fake)raid0 is detected as /dev/mapper/isw_ ....
[15:42] <Funky_Boris> and the installer is able to write to it
[15:42] <Funky_Boris> however, the install comes to a halt when it tries to install the boot loader
[15:42] <Funky_Boris> for some reason it defaults to trying to install the boot loader to /dev/sda which fails
[15:43] <Funky_Boris> I then get prompted to choose another drive to install the boot loader to, but I am unable to continue from this dialouge box, no matter what I do
[15:44] <Funky_Boris> I am given the option to select a drive, continue without boot loader or to abort the installation
[15:44] <Funky_Boris> none of the above will let me continue
[15:44] <Funky_Boris> any ideas ?
[15:47] <Funky_Boris> I could ditch the fakeraid and do software raid
[15:47] <Funky_Boris> but I cannot find the alternate install image that lets me skip the GUI installer and use the text based one
[15:47] <Funky_Boris> so apparently no software raid for me
[15:48] <Funky_Boris> this is the legacy bios installer btw
[15:48] <Funky_Boris> the EFI installer was able to finish, but then the machine was unable to boot from the install
[15:49] <krytarik> !mini.iso | Funky_Boris
[15:50] <Funky_Boris> krytarik: is that also for Xubuntu or will it only get me Ubuntu ?
[15:51] <krytarik> You can install any DE you want from there.
[15:51] <Funky_Boris> right
[15:52] <Funky_Boris> should I report somewhere that the installer defaults to wanting to install the boot loader to /dev/sda regardless of where the rest of the installer has been asked to install things ?
[15:52] <Funky_Boris> should I report that once boot loader install fails, the resulting dialouge box traps you ?
[15:53] <Funky_Boris> It seems that the 2nd option (to manually install boot loader) would have worked for me
[15:53] <Funky_Boris> or the first, if it had indeed worked
[15:54] <Funky_Boris> or is it all just features, not bugs? :)
[15:55] <Funky_Boris> I have tried both xubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso and 04.3 btw
[15:57] <krytarik> Yeah, I think you've hit the limit of what the graphical installer is able to provide.
[15:58] <Funky_Boris> perhaps
[15:58] <Funky_Boris> but I should be able to get past the dialouge from failing the boot loader write somehow, right ?
[15:58] <Funky_Boris> I am stuck there, regardless of the option I choose
[15:59] <Funky_Boris> and does it make sense for the installer to _always_ try to install the boot loader to /dev/sda ?
[15:59] <Funky_Boris> regardless of which devices are present ?
[18:22] <mark76> Does anyone know what to do when this happens at bootup "Volume Group "Xubuntu-vg" not found"?
[18:26] <well_laid_lawn> mark76:  is this on a live cd ?
[18:35] <mark76> No, normal installed system well_laid_lawn
[18:35] <well_laid_lawn> mark76:  see if this helps https://askubuntu.com/questions/551446/cant-find-lvm-root-dropped-back-to-initramfs
[18:35] <well_laid_lawn> !lvm
[18:36] <mark76> I'll check em out later
