| Hg203 | are there instructions for how to install kubuntu without having a windows install on the drive first? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| Hg203 | i'm using a usb stick and it seems to assume that you have windows already | 00:03 |
| Hg203 | it's 17.10 | 00:03 |
| Hg203 | ..if i run the installer, i get past language, and then it says the drive has only 8gb of space so it can't install (which i guess it's trying to use the usb stick) | 00:04 |
| Hg203 | in /dev there's an sda1 that seems to be mounted to /cdrom but not sure where the hard drive is | 00:05 |
| Hg203 | hm.. anyone awake? | 00:07 |
| maggux | what kind of hdd do you have? | 00:20 |
| Hg203 | seagate green | 00:21 |
| Hg203 | barracuda green | 00:21 |
| Hg203 | it's sata 3 | 00:21 |
| maggux | and you have no /dev/sdb or c? just /dev/sda? | 00:23 |
| Hg203 | yeah, i have a sg0.. but no sg | 00:24 |
| Hg203 | just sda and sda1 which is /cdrom | 00:24 |
| === threebar` is now known as threebar | ||
| maggux | and I guess your cdrom/dvdrom is also connected on a sata port? | 00:27 |
| maggux | somehow linux didnt detect your sata port and/or your hdd | 00:30 |
| Hg203 | i don't have a cdrom it's a liveusb | 00:31 |
| Hg203 | i made it in windows using a gui tool | 00:31 |
| maggux | yes the liveusb-sticks mosttime are emulated as cdom-images. | 00:32 |
| === Hg203 is now known as Hg200 | ||
| Hg200 | yeah it's mounted as /cdrom | 00:33 |
| Hg200 | which is sda1 | 00:34 |
| maggux | can you do an cat /proc/scsi | 00:34 |
| Hg202 | k, got my netbook set up so i can reboot the new box | 00:36 |
| maggux | cat /proc/scsi/scsi | 00:37 |
| maggux | there was a doubble scsi, sorry | 00:37 |
| Hg200 | the file scsi inside the dir right? | 00:38 |
| Hg200 | it seems to only detect the usb stick | 00:38 |
| maggux | my guess is, it didnt detect your scsci-system. thats sad. | 00:40 |
| Hg200 | hm. how's it usually do that? | 00:42 |
| maggux | for me it just worked. perhaps you can try to switch some settings in the bios. .. but Im afraid, I have no further ideas here. | 00:44 |
| Hg200 | ok. well, i'm still here on my netbook, but i'm going to reboot this box and see what i can figure out in earlier stages of boot | 00:46 |
| === claydoh is now known as Guest97637 | ||
| Hg202 | i tried "boot from first hard disk" and it's loaded into BusyBox v1.22.1 | 00:52 |
| Hg202 | is that a liveusb / livecd feature or is this just built into my drive? | 00:53 |
| Hg202 | no i tried looking in /proc/scsi/scsi again and it's the same stick | 00:54 |
| Hg202 | is the OEM install option the old 'alternate installer' option? | 00:55 |
| Hg202 | ok well that took me to the same sort of install menu gui but then it crapped out again with the same error and booted to live mode | 00:57 |
| Hg202 | haha the windows liveusb i have installer can't find the drive either! | 01:05 |
| Hg202 | i should check what came with this drive | 01:05 |
| Hg202 | ok so i feel stupid. the hdd cable got loose while i was checking internal components | 01:17 |
| Hg202 | but i've gotten uefi to see the drive and am booting into the installer liveusb again | 01:17 |
| Hg202 | i'll see if this works | 01:17 |
| Hg202 | whee this time i've gotten to the 'prepare' step | 01:19 |
| Hg202 | ok it's showing me disk setup. i think it may actually function now maybe :) | 01:20 |
| === bedtime-bath is now known as bedtime | ||
| Hg202 | so like, what % of hard drive space should be devoted to windows (for later, not installing now) relative to kubuntu? | 01:40 |
| Hg202 | i mean like, recommendations | 01:40 |
| Hg202 | so like i'm on this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes | 01:46 |
| Hg202 | it seems to think i can format a partition to ntfs but i see no such option, only fat32 | 01:47 |
| Hg202 | i figure 100gb is more than enough for the windows partition right? | 01:48 |
| Hg202 | i'm formatting it to fat32 for now .. i'll have it become ntfs later as needed when i install windows | 01:48 |
| Hg202 | does that seem normal? | 01:48 |
| Hg202 | hm. according to this site, i should use ext3 for /boot but it also says not to create a separate /boot | 01:57 |
| Hg202 | what's the deal with setting up the LVM | 01:57 |
| Hg202 | anyway i'm going to do some other stuff now | 01:59 |
| Hg202 | but if anyone has any thoughts feel free to say so, and also feel free to PM me | 01:59 |

| Hg202 | can anyone tell me how to produce this sort of partition table: https://pastebin.aquilenet.fr/?2abbca6ba0889989#MIdioyh/i2nsKl8vPs0iK6olpTyQhe2+AzOWkaBNV1U= | 03:08 |
| Hg202 | ..the 17.10 installer seems to want to only make LVMs on automatic mode, and then it produces a lot of far more confusing stuff than i quite get.. but i'm not sure it'll work with a later windows install | 03:09 |
| === bedtime-sleep is now known as bedtime-obdormis | ||
| Hg202 | so anyway the installer using guided with LVM (no encrypt) option seems to 1- not be guided but rather create some automatic partition table i don't even understand, which doesn't seem to really make sense to install windows into any of later. | 03:20 |
| Hg202 | but more importantly, i get to the part where it copies files and after that it crashes saying that it can't update grub | 03:21 |
| Hg202 | ah here it is. says "executing 'grub-install /dev/dm-0' failed. this is a fatal error." | 03:22 |
| Hg202 | k nm i'm using kde partition manager to set things up myself fully, then i'll select the installation point for the bootable device for install, maybe that'll work | 03:34 |

| Hg200 | https://imgur.com/CT2XGCA | 04:02 |
| Hg200 | should i move /boot and stuff to the end so that it can freely resize between ntfs and /stor later? | 04:02 |
| Hg200 | https://imgur.com/ehtyyrO | 04:10 |
| Hg200 | that other table didn't work; spat errors when trying to format it that way. this one worked though | 04:10 |
| === himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf | ||
| Hg200 | though apparently kde partition manager treats the intitial 1mb of space as hidden / automatic, while the installer explicitly shows it, so i didn't need to try to add it in kde part man | 04:20 |
| Hg200 | gr | 04:20 |
| Hg200 | er. mgr | 04:20 |
| Hg202 | ok so i've now realized two things. 1- my box doesn't like to actually boot into uefi mode. it uses uefi but it boots only in legacy mode for some reason | 05:20 |
| Hg202 | parted -l says it's a gpt file system, but i'm not sure what's up with that. | 05:20 |
| Hg202 | i think i just confused it by doing it this way.. i need to set up a new part table | 05:20 |
| redphantom_ | Im on 17.10 - my Internet doesn't connect automatically on startup ever since configuring openvpn to connect via the NetworkManager GUI.

| IrcsomeBot1 | <DGUERRERO> Good day everyone! | 06:04 |

| lordievader | Good morning | 07:02 |
| spearlman | What's the nicest way to tell apt to keep a number (let's say 3) of old kernels around? (i.e. so autoremove doesn't get rid of them) | 07:57 |
| spearlman | For a temporary fix, I don't mind just telling apt not to autoremove kernels at all | 07:58 |
| spearlman | ahh.. it looks like this stuff is all generated from /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal ... | 08:05 |
| spearlman | I don't really wanna screw around with that.. not as simple as a variable to set, clearly | 08:06 |

| myrdroid | Hi i just upgraded from 16.04 to 17.10 and all I get I'd a blue screen on login. How do I get plasma to start | 22:13 |
| myrdroid | Also how can I get online from tty? I tried using nmcli device WiFi onnect ssid password password but I can only ping the router not websites | 22:16 |
| myrdroid | Plasma-desktop apparently isn't installed | 22:18 |
| myrdroid | Typing on my phone | 22:19 |
| myrdroid | When I try to connect with nmcli I get could not build name for facility network : invalid parameter | 22:33 |
| valorie | myrdroid: it's possible some people here will know how to use nmcli, but you are much more likely to get help on some networking chan | 22:35 |
| valorie | #networking seems the likely option | 22:35 |
| valorie | but alis gives lots of options | 22:36 |
| valorie | !alis | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" | 22:36 |
| myrdroid | Any suggestions? #kde always throws me back here when I ask there. And my primary goal really is to get plasma running again | 22:36 |
| myrdroid | #networking is for KDE tools? | 22:37 |
