Linux_Good morning everyone. I currently am attempting to install Lubuntu 32bit onto an Asus Eee PC from USB. Having booted from USB I am presented with a screen but no option seemingly to force the installation of the OS10:41
Linux_"booting 'find /menu.lst" etc10:41
Linux_Seemingly people online have just typed "live" and been able to install thusly but i'm not sure what to type, give that live seemingly isnt an option for me, in order for it to install10:41
JohnDoe_71Ruswhat screen do you see?10:45
Linux_well i have now hit tab providing me with a list of available commands10:45
Linux_the initial screen i think (because it is now above my current page vision) was grub 0.4.610:46
Linux_live is indeed not an option, but neither is a clear install command that i can see10:46
JohnDoe_71Rushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwWRhdBH1sU install example10:47
Linux_to be clear i am attempting an install onto a windows 7 pc, having created a lubunto ISO usb stick using "universal USB installer"10:48
Linux_the video seems to begin on a linux operating system which I do not yet have10:48
JohnDoe_71Rusvideo - nistall in vmware10:49
Linux_in windows 7 ?10:50
JohnDoe_71Rusdo you want dualboot?10:50
Linux_no10:51
Linux_ideally a single Lubuntu OS10:51
Linux_was hoping that installing from USB from bios would allow me to format and install fresh10:51
JohnDoe_71Ruslubuntu instead of win 710:52
Linux_that is correct10:52
Linux_i'm aiming to have solely Lubuntu on this pc10:52
JohnDoe_71Rusthen you boot live cd or usb you can see from 0:37 video. choose language10:54
Linux_is it possible to link to a picture of my screen when booting from USB for you to assess?10:54
Linux_i don't have these options available to me it seems on USB boot10:54

Linux_this is my view upon booting from USB10:57
JohnDoe_71RusBefore installation, check the live usb mode. Make sure the hardware is working correctly10:58
Linux_how can i check that the hardware is working correctly. what am i looking for ?10:58
JohnDoe_71Rusdo you install grub4dos for win7?10:59

Linux_sorry john doe i received a phone call11:17
Linux_the first image you sent it not something i have seen at all11:17
Linux_i have not installed anything else onto this computer in windows 711:17
Linux_simply downloaded the iso and put it to USB and tried to boot from it11:17
Linux_i'll now watch the 2nd video you posted11:17
Linux_i have successfully booted from the USB. the menu that is displayed in the video (the ubunto logo with a list of options) is not available to me. The image i posted previously is what i see on USB booting the Lubunto iso i have on said USB11:19
JohnDoe_71Rushttps://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#0 first you need correct bootable usb11:19
Linux_i will use Rufus to create the USB stick instead of 'Universal USB Installer' and see if it works11:21
Linux_thank you for your help so far, its really appreciated11:21
Linux_i'll check back should it work or fail11:21
tux22hi i'm using lubuntu. the default file manager seems to be PCManFM. for whatever reason it doesn't automatically show the cifs entries in my /etc/fstab like for example dolphin in kde does. is there a way to make it work with PCManFM, or do i need to use another file manager, and if so, which?13:54
fishcookeris GTK will be used on lubuntu next?15:14
geniiNo15:15
wxlfishcooker: you CAN use it, but we're not planning on having it there by default15:15
geniiLXQt15:16
tux22are there any alternative file managers for lubuntu?15:26
=== dynaflash_ is now known as dynaflash
tux22nevermind. my problem was, that the mountpoints were not placed in /media, which is where pcmanfm and thunar both look, but in /mnt. so changing the mountpoint in my /etc/fstab solved the problem.15:40
ruby32Hi everyone, super excited to see Lubuntu 17.10 released16:44
ruby32I am going to be getting a Thinkpad 25 for work (!!) and I was wondering if anyone has installed the new version of Lubuntu on this machine yet?16:45
zleapwhat is the difference between lubuntu.net and lubuntu.me ?19:35
wxlzleap: lubuntu.me is the official website and lubuntu.net is not19:36
wxlzleap: the lubuntu team manages lubuntu.me and not lubuntu.net19:36
wxlzleap: lubuntu.me is technically under canonical's ownership, lubuntu.net is not19:36
wxltl;dr don't use lubuntu.net19:37
zleapso i should go to lubuntu.me19:37
zleap a ddg search came up with both19:37
wxlyes19:37
wxlbut one of them should be marked as official on ddg19:37
zleapok19:38
wxlif you look at nearly anywhere that refers to lubuntu you will find lubuntu.me and not lubuntu.net19:38
wxlincluding the ubuntu wiki, wikipedia, distrowatch19:38
zleapthanks19:39
wxlnp19:39
zleapjust checking make sure one wasn't some dodgy unofficial malware thing19:40
wxlwell afaik lubuntu.net links to the official downloads pages19:40
zleapso when was 17.10 released then, i missed that19:41
wxlit's all in the version number: October 201719:41
zleapi am trying to set up a virtual machine in virtual machine manager (going to install ubuntu server) however I get Error connecting to graphical console, Error opening spice console , spiceclientgtk missing19:50
zleapI had this yesterday and I am sure the package spiceclientgtk is installed19:50
