| japa | So wondering if I can get some assistance regarding my install usb it's not installing grub it tries to install it on "dm" ill have to be home tonight to confirm the full message | 18:22 |

| fossfreedom | japa you need to set the usb device as the place to install grub - a good run through describing this is here http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/11/install-real-ubuntu-os-usb-drive/ | 19:39 |
| japa | Why is the boot drive where to install grub if it'll be on my pc? | 19:59 |
| japa | Just out of curiosity since thats not something I've ever heard of. I'm reimaging | 20:00 |
| fossfreedom | if you are installing everything on the USB stick - the USB stick needs to have grub. | 20:00 |
| japa | I'm installing to pc from Ian | 20:01 |
| japa | Usb* | 20:01 |
| fossfreedom | k - write your usb flash drive from the ISO using something like etcher. It will correctly install everything to enable you to boot from USB to install onto a PC | 20:02 |
| japa | I actually used either | 20:07 |
| japa | Etcher* | 20:07 |
| japa | That's what's weird the setting up the iso on usb was successful but when installing it throws an error trying to install the bootloader | 20:26 |
| fossfreedom | have you got four primary partitions on the hard-drive? | 20:28 |
| japa | It's not in front of me so not sure. | 20:29 |
| fossfreedom | maybe that's the issue - you can't have more than four primary partitions | 20:29 |
| japa | Thanks. Hadn't thought of that weird that I wouldn't. I will check this when I get home. I was going to bring it to work to work on but I forgot it. | 20:32 |
| japa | I was hoping it would be a relatively simple fix | 20:33 |
