[10:41] <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 OS
[10:41] <Linux_> "booting 'find /menu.lst" etc
[10:41] <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 install
[10:45] <JohnDoe_71Rus> what screen do you see?
[10:45] <Linux_> well i have now hit tab providing me with a list of available commands
[10:46] <Linux_> the initial screen i think (because it is now above my current page vision) was grub 0.4.6
[10:46] <Linux_> live is indeed not an option, but neither is a clear install command that i can see
[10:47] <JohnDoe_71Rus> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwWRhdBH1sU install example
[10:48] <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 have
[10:49] <JohnDoe_71Rus> video - nistall in vmware
[10:50] <Linux_> in windows 7 ?
[10:50] <JohnDoe_71Rus> do you want dualboot?
[10:51] <Linux_> no
[10:51] <Linux_> ideally a single Lubuntu OS
[10:51] <Linux_> was hoping that installing from USB from bios would allow me to format and install fresh
[10:52] <JohnDoe_71Rus> lubuntu instead of win 7
[10:52] <Linux_> that is correct
[10:52] <Linux_> i'm aiming to have solely Lubuntu on this pc
[10:54] <JohnDoe_71Rus> then you boot live cd or usb you can see from 0:37 video. choose language
[10:54] <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 boot
[10:57] <Linux_> https://imgur.com/a/6156J
[10:57] <Linux_> this is my view upon booting from USB
[10:58] <JohnDoe_71Rus> Before installation, check the live usb mode. Make sure the hardware is working correctly
[10:58] <Linux_> how can i check that the hardware is working correctly. what am i looking for ?
[10:59] <JohnDoe_71Rus> do you install grub4dos for win7?

[11:17] <Linux_> sorry john doe i received a phone call
[11:17] <Linux_> the first image you sent it not something i have seen at all
[11:17] <Linux_> i have not installed anything else onto this computer in windows 7
[11:17] <Linux_> simply downloaded the iso and put it to USB and tried to boot from it
[11:17] <Linux_> i'll now watch the 2nd video you posted
[11:19] <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 USB
[11:19] <JohnDoe_71Rus> https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#0 first you need correct bootable usb
[11:21] <Linux_> i will use Rufus to create the USB stick instead of 'Universal USB Installer' and see if it works
[11:21] <Linux_> thank you for your help so far, its really appreciated
[11:21] <Linux_> i'll check back should it work or fail
[13:54] <tux22> hi 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?
[15:14] <fishcooker> is GTK will be used on lubuntu next?
[15:15] <genii> No
[15:15] <wxl> fishcooker: you CAN use it, but we're not planning on having it there by default
[15:16] <genii> LXQt
[15:26] <tux22> are there any alternative file managers for lubuntu?
[15:40] <tux22> nevermind. 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.
[16:44] <ruby32> Hi everyone, super excited to see Lubuntu 17.10 released
[16:45] <ruby32> I 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?
[19:35] <zleap> what is the difference between lubuntu.net and lubuntu.me ?
[19:36] <wxl> zleap: lubuntu.me is the official website and lubuntu.net is not
[19:36] <wxl> zleap: the lubuntu team manages lubuntu.me and not lubuntu.net
[19:36] <wxl> zleap: lubuntu.me is technically under canonical's ownership, lubuntu.net is not
[19:37] <wxl> tl;dr don't use lubuntu.net
[19:37] <zleap> so i should go to lubuntu.me
[19:37] <zleap>  a ddg search came up with both
[19:37] <wxl> yes
[19:37] <wxl> but one of them should be marked as official on ddg
[19:38] <zleap> ok
[19:38] <wxl> if you look at nearly anywhere that refers to lubuntu you will find lubuntu.me and not lubuntu.net
[19:38] <wxl> including the ubuntu wiki, wikipedia, distrowatch
[19:39] <zleap> thanks
[19:39] <wxl> np
[19:40] <zleap> just checking make sure one wasn't some dodgy unofficial malware thing
[19:40] <wxl> well afaik lubuntu.net links to the official downloads pages
[19:41] <zleap> so when was 17.10 released then, i missed that
[19:41] <wxl> it's all in the version number: October 2017
[19:50] <zleap> i 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 missing
[19:50] <zleap> I had this yesterday and I am sure the package spiceclientgtk is installed
