 A option to turn off the touchpad if a mouse is attached (usb or bt) would be nice too
 Why some application detected my Lubuntu as "Ubuntu"?
 @ancha41 [Why some application detected my Lubuntu as "Ubuntu"?], Lubuntu is built on a rock-solid Ubuntu base.
 So while we do a lot of customization, at the core it's an Ubuntu system.
 Hello folks
 I just installed Lubuntu 18.10 but now my SSD disappeared from BIOS boot order

 I guess I should not panic
 RIGHT?
 my pc is telling me: ... `No bootable device -- Please restart system`
 I found some stuff online about this error but it mentions UEFI and secure boot. This is not my case, in fact the problem is manifesting on a Acer Aspire 4810 from 2009
 (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/0EQdwYI.jpg
 although both hard drives are correctly detected
 @AlFXLogic [although both hard drives are correctly detected], It' s a UEFI installation?
 no
 @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], go to security tab and check if legacy boot is enabled
 let me show you there is no legacy boot
 the whole computer is a legacy machine 😆
 (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/XCVy58v.jpg
 @AlFXLogic [the whole computer is a legacy machine 😆], do you remember if you have changed the partition of grub installation? (it must be /dev/sda by default)
 it should be, let me double check booting from the usb again
 @AlFXLogic [it should be, let me double check booting from the usb again], I don't know if boot-repair PPA is ready for 18.10 version. It' s a GUI tool to recover your GRUB and can be installed on Live USB
 I recall I installed the boot loader on /dev/sda
 trying to install again, will let you know. thanks for replying
 @AlFXLogic [I recall I installed the boot loader on /dev/sda], Boot the live USB to try the grub-install command
 From qterminal, type `sudo fdisk -l`
 ok no luck
 @leandroramos [From qterminal, type sudo fdisk -l], how do I get into there?
 @AlFXLogic [how do I get into there?], you can type "terminal" in menu
 oh sorry I didn't make it clear. I cannot even log into Lubuntu
 @AlFXLogic [oh sorry I didn't make it clear. I cannot even log into Lubuntu], Log into live USB?
 oh, right
 We will try 3 commands with live USB terminal
 ok i'm ready
 @leandroramos [From qterminal, type sudo fdisk -l], should I start with this?
 @AlFXLogic [should I start with this?], yes
 Let me see the result
 shall we switch to pvt?
 @AlFXLogic [shall we switch to pvt?], It's better to do it here, so we can help the others
 o

 @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], sda is the disk where you're installing lubuntu?
 yeah
 i've got 1804 in sda1 and 1810 in sda2
 @AlFXLogic [i've got 1804 in sda1 and 1810 in sda2], Right. your boot partition is /dev/sda2 (the flag * on boot column). ... We will mount that partition with the command `sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /mnt`
 Next step - install grub in the mounted partition: ... `sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda`
 ok
 `lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /mnt ... lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda                                                                    ... Installing for i386-pc platform.                                                                                                       ..
 @AlFXLogic [lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2/mnt ... lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo grub …], Right. Now reboot
 ok
 no luck
 still no bootable device

 (Document) https://telegram.lubuntu.me/buqI34Xi/file_4277.mp4
 @AlFXLogic [still no bootable device], maybe some bios configuration
 i tried that, let me go through that again now
 thank anyway
 @AlFXLogic [thanks anyway], You can try the same steps on 18.04 partition too, then the grub will be generate from there
 @leandroramos [You can try the same steps on 18.04 partition too, then the grub will be generat …], switching from sda2 to (probably) sdb1
 @AlFXLogic [thanks anyway], With a 18.04 live USB, yout can use this GUI tool:  ... http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/11/install-boot-repair-ppa-fix-boot-problems/
 @leandroramos [switching from sda2 to (probably) sdb1], 1804 is on sda1
 @AlFXLogic [1804 is on sda1], Oh, sorry :)
 anyway I tried doing the trick on sda1 but no joy
 @leandroramos [With a 18.04 live USB, yout can use this GUI tool:  ... http://ubuntuhandbook.org/in …], trying this now
 @AlFXLogic [trying this now], The boot-repair PPA doesn't work with 18.10 (missing updates), but you can generate the 18.04 grub to fix (with luck)
 i am creating the startup disk with 1804
 @AlFXLogic [i am creating the startup disk with 1804], 🤞🏼
 what's the next option? new partition table with only 1810?
 and if it fails, same but with 1804?
 @AlFXLogic [what's the next option? new partition table with only 1810?], I could not figure out why "no bootable devices" appeared, but you can mount the grub partition (sda1 or 2) and check if there's a grub file in /boot folder
 @leandroramos [I could not figure out why "no bootable devices" appeared, but you can mount the …], after the "mount" command - `cd /mnt/boot` and `ls -la`
 got it
 running boot repair now
 `an error occurred during the repair`
 wanna see the log?
 @AlFXLogic [wanna see the log?], yes
 (Document) https://telegram.lubuntu.me/Tu6soNLX/file_4279.txt
 @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], according to the log, the errors refers to sdc, and you can reboot
 I did but does not work as before
 @AlFXLogic [I did but does not work as before], The problem is here:  ... `You can now reboot your computer. ... Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda (ATA Samsung SSD 850) disk!`
 @leandroramos [The problem is here:  ... You can now reboot your computer. ... Please do not forget to …], The grub was installed, but SSD doesn't appear in boot option, and I don't know why
 I've researched a bit and noticed it happens with Acer and Toshiba apparently. Could it be a bios-related problem?
 Amway, if the problem is grub I could avoid it by just keeping a single is on the pc
 Your disk is connected to sata or ide?
 Sata
 Both
 @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], Can you show the main tab?
 (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/w8IVQfZ.jpg
 Probably deleting serial numbers was stupid
 @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], the next tab, MAIN
 (Photo, 640x480) https://i.imgur.com/mijsYMr.jpg I am looking for it
 Sorry
 @AlFXLogic [Sorry], ok, I don't know if your bios has this option
 (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/AsjUUgI.jpg
 @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], You can access the boot menu pressing F12 during Acer logo screen?
 Yes but displays no optiins
 :(
 (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/4Yt106A.jpg
 I did it
 I reset the bios settings and the drives were there again
 Simple as that
 @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], change the sata mode
 @AlFXLogic [Simple as that], oh
 @AlFXLogic [Simple as that], worked now?
 I can log into 1804, now restarting to test the 1810
 Grub is there
 1810 operational!
 Thanks a lot for the assistance
 (Document) https://telegram.lubuntu.me/E8Z2sAk2/file_4295.mp4
 @AlFXLogic [Thanks a lot for the assistance], So the problem was BIOS config 😂
 So the solution for disappeared drives from the boot order was simply reset bios settings, for anyone who might ever need it in the future.
