| zztopless | morning all... I'm setting up a lubuntu vm (14.04) and having trouble getting it to connect to a windows share, despite copying and pasting the line in my mint-kde vm, on the same network (on the same host machine)... | 22:59 |
| erikocelote | hi im having a problem to install lubuntu en mi acer aspire es11-131- c0us | 22:59 |
| erikocelote | anybody can help me ? | 23:00 |
| erikocelote | im trying to install lubuntu from a booted usb | 23:00 |
| zztopless | /10.1.1.10/fn /mnt/FN cifs credentials=/home/lubuntu/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0 sudo mount -a brings the following prompt: Password for root@//10.1.1.10/fn: which is obviously not going to work (my login details are an offline only admin account in Windows 10 | 23:01 |
| zztopless | erikocelote, what issues are you having? | 23:01 |
| erikocelote | it doesnt run!! | 23:01 |
| zztopless | Do you know the key to get to the boot menu on startup for your laptop? | 23:02 |
| erikocelote | yes | 23:02 |
| zztopless | so you're able to select the usb stick? | 23:03 |
| zztopless | did that laptop come with either windows 8 or 10? | 23:03 |
| erikocelote | yes and i did it, actually i already installed the OS in the HDD, but when i try to reboot from the hdd, lubuntu doesnt run | 23:04 |
| zztopless | does windows? | 23:04 |
| erikocelote | my english is not the best but i hope you know what i mean | 23:05 |
| erikocelote | windows 10 | 23:05 |
| zztopless | you probably had the boot record installed onto a different drive (easy to do) | 23:05 |
| zztopless | so if you manually select the ubuntu hdd from the boot menu, it can't read that | 23:05 |
| zztopless | have a look at the partitions on your hard drives in disk manager | 23:06 |
| erikocelote | ok, and what i should do? | 23:06 |
| zztopless | Do you have just the one hard drive? | 23:06 |
| zztopless | or the the two OSs installed on different drives? | 23:07 |
| erikocelote | no i just have just the one hard drive | 23:09 |
| zztopless | ok, so ho did you partition them? | 23:09 |
| erikocelote | i didnt part it... | 23:10 |
| erikocelote | ok no | 23:11 |
| zztopless | Did the ubuntu installation? | 23:12 |
| erikocelote | its 537 mb filesystem ext 4 filesystem partition 2 500 gb ext4 and 1.1 mb free space | 23:12 |
| zztopless | It couldn't have finished installing on your NTFS windows partition given Windows is still functioning | 23:12 |
| zztopless | What is windows installed on? | 23:13 |
| erikocelote | yes i did the ubuntu installation in the hdd, an i erased the windows, but it doesnt run from de hdd | 23:13 |
| zztopless | oh ok, sorry, I did ask if windows was still booting, but I probably wasn't clear | 23:14 |
| zztopless | I'm honestly not sure what the issues is, but I would try the process again, and at the screen where it asks about whether you want the let lubuntu erase the drive, or choose custom, choose let it erase | 23:15 |
| erikocelote | ok im sorry im barely speak english, but im desperate cause y cant use my pc jajaja | 23:15 |
| erikocelote | i already did it s you say | 23:16 |
| erikocelote | but it doesnt work | 23:16 |
| zztopless | bear with me, ill fire up an installation on a vm and check if there is an option there for where the boot record goes - I don't use lubunt as my daily driver mint-kde. They are very similar, but need to double check | 23:16 |
| zztopless | Your Enlgish is fine | 23:16 |
| erikocelote | lubuntu is actually installed on the hard drive but lubuntu doesnt boot/run from de hdd | 23:17 |
| erikocelote | thank's | 23:17 |
| zztopless | yeah, for whatever reason grub isn't on the partition it needs to be on | 23:19 |
| erikocelote | how can i put it on? | 23:19 |
| zztopless | what version of lubuntu are you using? | 23:20 |
| erikocelote | 17.10 | 23:20 |
| zztopless | ok, let me grab a 17.10 iso and get to that page | 23:20 |
| zztopless | It might be worth setting up the partition manually, because on that page, you can select what device the boot loader goes on | 23:21 |
| zztopless | You might want to have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD3JtoSbfOo&feature=youtu.be&t=5m50s and see if it's relevant to your laptop | 23:23 |
| erikocelote | omg there is the solution | 23:26 |
| erikocelote | thank you very much | 23:27 |
| erikocelote | i really aprecciate your help | 23:27 |
| zztopless | yeah, it was hard to think how it could be an issue with the bootloader in the wrong place if you only had your hdd and installation USB hooked up and chose erase disk | 23:27 |
| zztopless | no worries :) | 23:27 |
| erikocelote | could you give me your email adress ?? | 23:28 |
| erikocelote | any way im really thankful | 23:28 |
| zztopless | np, im usually the one asking for help, nice to help for a chanhe | 23:29 |
| zztopless | sent you a msg with my email | 23:29 |
| zztopless | gotta run myself, glad I could help | 23:31 |
| zerothis | how would I boot my new laptop from the network using my ubuntu system as the host (zesty) | 23:31 |
| zerothis | I ask because the bios checks all drives for windows a windows installation will not recognize others | 23:33 |
