[04:12] <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.
[04:15] <krytarik> Guest16431: The installer is the same fwiw.
[04:15] <Guest16431> krytarik: That's not what I'm seeing.
[04:16] <Guest16431> It provides an option to partition the disk, but it shows no evidence of an existing NTFS partition.
[04:17] <flocculant> Guest16431: is this the same machine? and did you do the windows/ubuntu dual boot already on it?
[04:18] <Guest16431> I successfully installed dual-boot ubuntu/windows on this machine.  But I want Xubuntu/Windows.
[04:19] <flocculant> Guest16431: run this command in a terminal and paste the resulting url please from the live session: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit
[04:21] <Guest16431> flocculant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5S9d9s3xBq/
[04:22] <flocculant> Guest16431: you didn't successfully install a dual boot - if that's all the drives - you installed ubuntu over windows
[04:23] <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 ;)
[04:24] <flocculant> Guest16431: ftr - krytarik is correct - the installer for all the desktop *buntu's is the same
[04:27] <Guest16431> OK, leave that on the record. Along with a footnote that Guest16431 is hallucinogenic.
[04:30] <flocculant> :)
[04:32] <Guest16431> I do appreciate the help, hope you don't mind a little attitude.
[04:33] <flocculant> I didn't see any attitude
[04:37] <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?
[04:38] <Guest16431> yes
[04:39] <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
[04:40] <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 :)
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <Guest16431> K, thx for the tip.
[04:44] <flocculant> Guest16431: nor /dev/sda2 - not sure what that is - but suspect something to do with efi install
[04:48] <Guest16431> Gparted is very handy! FTR (as long as we're maintaining one) it seems that NTFS == "Microsoft basic data".
[04:49] <flocculant> ok - thought it might be, but not sure enough to break your partitioning ;)
[04:54] <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.)
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <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.
[04:59] <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> ...
[05:00] <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
[05:05] <flocculant> np - real life wakes up now :p

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