| Guest16431 | Hi. The (plain) Ubuntu iso image (transferred to USB) provides an option for dual-boot installation, leaving the OEM Windows in one partition. I'm not seeing that in the Xubuntu installer. Am I missing sth? Thx. | 04:12 |
| krytarik | Guest16431: The installer is the same fwiw. | 04:15 |
| Guest16431 | krytarik: That's not what I'm seeing. | 04:15 |
| Guest16431 | It provides an option to partition the disk, but it shows no evidence of an existing NTFS partition. | 04:16 |
| flocculant | Guest16431: is this the same machine? and did you do the windows/ubuntu dual boot already on it? | 04:17 |
| Guest16431 | I successfully installed dual-boot ubuntu/windows on this machine. But I want Xubuntu/Windows. | 04:18 |
| flocculant | Guest16431: run this command in a terminal and paste the resulting url please from the live session: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit | 04:19 |
| Guest16431 | flocculant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5S9d9s3xBq/ | 04:21 |
| flocculant | Guest16431: you didn't successfully install a dual boot - if that's all the drives - you installed ubuntu over windows | 04:22 |
| Guest16431 | flocculent: Ah. So it appears. Ouch. | 04:23 |
| Guest16431 | flocculent: Thanks for taking a look. | 04:23 |
| flocculant | no problem | 04:23 |
| flocculant | well - not problem looking for you ;) | 04:23 |
| flocculant | Guest16431: ftr - krytarik is correct - the installer for all the desktop *buntu's is the same | 04:24 |
| Guest16431 | OK, leave that on the record. Along with a footnote that Guest16431 is hallucinogenic. | 04:27 |
| flocculant | :) | 04:30 |
| Guest16431 | I do appreciate the help, hope you don't mind a little attitude. | 04:32 |
| flocculant | I didn't see any attitude | 04:33 |
| Guest16431 | OK, then another question: I'm running fdisk 2.27.1, and I don't recognize the available partition types. In particular where's NTFS? | 04:37 |
| flocculant | on the same machine? | 04:37 |
| Guest16431 | yes | 04:38 |
| flocculant | that would be the machine that you overwrote the ntfs partition with the ubuntu install then ... | 04:39 |
| Guest16431 | It gives options for "Microsoft reserved", "Microsoft basic data", etc. | 04:39 |
| Guest16431 | Now I'm trying to repartition the disk, will re-install Win10 on a small NTFS parttion. | 04:39 |
| flocculant | that's probably the EFI partition | 04:39 |
| Guest16431 | Sorry, I wasn't clear: | 04:40 |
| flocculant | oic | 04:40 |
| Guest16431 | Not looking at an existing partition table. I'm creating a new one. But I want to create an NTFS partition. | 04:40 |
| flocculant | aah right - not sure what partition type numbers are in fdisk - I tend to gparted :) | 04:40 |
| Guest16431 | My recollection was that was an option in fdisk. But it seems they've changed the names and numbers. (Or I'm still hallucinating.) | 04:41 |
| Guest16431 | Ah, good idea. | 04:41 |
| Guest16431 | Trying gparted... | 04:41 |
| flocculant | don't touch the efi partition | 04:41 |
| Guest16431 | K, thx for the tip. | 04:42 |
| flocculant | Guest16431: nor /dev/sda2 - not sure what that is - but suspect something to do with efi install | 04:44 |
| Guest16431 | Gparted is very handy! FTR (as long as we're maintaining one) it seems that NTFS == "Microsoft basic data". | 04:48 |
| flocculant | ok - thought it might be, but not sure enough to break your partitioning ;) | 04:49 |
| Guest16431 | OK, now I'm stuck at the same place. Don't want to screw it up again: I'm at the "Installation type" window (similar to this: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Install_Ubuntu_Windows_Dual_Boot_5.jpeg). How do I tell the installer to work on /dev/sda3 (my ext4 partition) and not overwrite the entire disk? | 04:54 |
| Guest16431 | (Picture is only illustrative, that's not my partition table.) | 04:54 |
| Guest16431 | Is the "Device for boot loader installation" the same thing as the 'partition that Guest16431 wants to install Xubuntu on' ... ? | 04:56 |
| flocculant | no | 04:56 |
| flocculant | I'm short on time now - so quickly - did you create an ntfs AND linux partition in gparted? | 04:57 |
| Guest16431 | yes | 04:57 |
| Guest16431 | both visible in my new partition table, along with efi and ext2. | 04:57 |
| flocculant | ok - so select the partition you want to install to - then use it from there - might need to right click to use the partition and set up mount point etc | 04:59 |
| Guest16431 | Ah, just select? I tried to make it too hard. Here goes.. | 04:59 |
| Guest16431 | ... | 04:59 |
| flocculant | the Device for boot loader - is exactly that - the bootloader not the os | 05:00 |
| flocculant | gtg now - time to sort out the day | 05:00 |
| Guest16431 | Thanks for the help | 05:00 |
| flocculant | np - real life wakes up now :p | 05:05 |

| terminalator | How does one fix this issue? | 12:54 |
| terminalator | Nvm, I fixed it by installing libcurl3 | 13:07 |
