[18:22] <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
[19:39] <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/
[19:59] <japa> Why is the boot drive where to install grub if it'll be on my pc?
[20:00] <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.
[20:01] <japa> I'm installing to pc from Ian
[20:01] <japa> Usb*
[20:02] <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
[20:07] <japa> I actually used either
[20:07] <japa> Etcher*
[20:26] <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
[20:28] <fossfreedom> have you got four primary partitions on the hard-drive?
[20:29] <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
[20:32] <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.
[20:33] <japa> I was hoping it would be a relatively simple fix
