Adam9192Hi09:55
Adam9192Is anyone here?09:58
apt-ghettoYes09:58
Adam9192Is this the right place to ask for some help?09:58
apt-ghettoMaybe anyone is waiting for a support question?09:58
apt-ghetto!ask09:59
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience09:59
Adam9192Here is my issue: When i try to install lubuntu i keep getting Boost.python error in job "bootloader" does anyone know why or how to fix it? I've already verified the iso, if you were going to ask that10:00
apt-ghettoLubuntu 18.10?10:00
Adam9192No, 19.0410:00
apt-ghettoPlease show us the entire error message10:02
Adam9192Okey, one second10:03
Adam9192Boost.Python error in job "bootloader". Command 'grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu --force' returned non-zero exit status 1. Installing for x86_64-efi platform. Could not prepare Boot variable: Invalid argument grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Input/output error.  Traceback: File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/bootloader/main.py", line 10:08
Adam9192Might be better if i send a screenshot10:09
apt-ghettoNo, it is okay10:10
apt-ghettoAnd text can be copied10:10
Adam9192Yeah...Like i'm on the live usb right now, because if i try to boot it will just be stuck a grub :/10:11
Adam9192I will just be stuck at grub*10:12
apt-ghettoPlease open a terminal in your live system, execute `{ sudo parted --list; sudo efibootmgr -v; } | pastebinit` and share the url10:14
Adam9192Okey10:15
Adam9192https://hastebin.com/pugixosusi.sql10:17
apt-ghettoThe output seems normal10:19
apt-ghettoLet's try to install Grub manually10:19
apt-ghettoOpen a new terminal and execute line by line:10:20
apt-ghetto`sudo -s`10:20
apt-ghetto`mount /dev/sda2 /mnt`10:20
apt-ghetto`mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi`10:20
apt-ghetto`for i in dev dev/pts proc sys sys/firmware; do mount --bind /$i /mnt/$i; done`10:21
apt-ghetto`chroot /mnt`10:21
apt-ghetto`grub-install`10:21
apt-ghetto`update-grub`10:21
apt-ghetto`exit`10:21
Adam9192Okey...I'll give it a try10:22
Adam9192I'm a little bit confused at this part "for i in dev dev/pts proc sys sys/firmware; do mount --bind /$i /mnt/$i; done"10:24
apt-ghettoIt's short for `mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev; mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts` etc10:25
apt-ghettoI have copypasted it from a well-known wiki10:27
apt-ghettohttps://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/EFI_Problembehebung/10:27
adam9192I'm back, for some reason my internet does not work on the live usb, but that's not the main issue right now. Is the same guy i talked to here?10:41
adam9192i have an error while installing lubuntu 19.04, it keeps saying boost.python error in job "bootloader", i've already verified the iso.10:47
adam9192Is anyone here?11:03
apt-ghettoadam9192: It didn't work?11:39
adam9192No11:43
adam9192Sadly11:43
apt-ghettoAny error message?11:43
adam9192It can't find /boot/uefi something like that11:44
apt-ghettoDid you choose "Erase disk" during the installation?11:47
adam9192Yes11:47
adam9192I wanted a clean install11:48
adam9192Why?11:48
apt-ghettoAfter which command did you get the error message?11:50
adam9192grub-install11:50
apt-ghettoWas it "grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory"?11:52
adam9192Yeah11:53
adam9192It's getting really troublesome to install this distro -_-11:55
apt-ghettoWas there an error, when you did `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi`?11:55
adam9192No11:55
apt-ghettoPlease show `ls -l /mnt/boot/efi`, if you have the partition still mounted11:57
adam9192Okey, one sencond12:01
adam9192It says there are no such files or directory?12:06
apt-ghettoRestart your live usb, so we have a clean environment and execute the commands again12:07
apt-ghettoI mean the commands to install Grub manually12:08
adam9192Sorry, but what was the commands again?12:10
apt-ghettoYou can see them in the irc log, so you can make simply copy & paste: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2019/05/05/%23lubuntu.html#t10:2012:11
apt-ghettoTo be clear: Without the backticks12:14
adam9192When i do "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" i get mount: /mnt: unknown filesystem type 'swap'12:15
apt-ghettoThen you have changed your partitions. My commands are based on https://hastebin.com/pugixosusi.sql12:16
apt-ghettoIn this case, I would reinstall with "Erase disk"12:18
adam9192Um, for some reason i do not have that option anymore12:19
adam9192I think i'm going to give up and find another distro. Thanks for trying to help.12:25
apt-ghettoOk, Xubuntu might be a good alternative or you find a distro also with LXQt, like Fedora12:26
adam9192Is Xubuntu lightweight?12:27
apt-ghettoYes, it is also lightweight, but based on GTK12:28
apt-ghettoIf you ask 5 people about the best Linux distro, you will get 7 answers12:29
adam9192Wait what?12:29
apt-ghettoTry it out and take the distro, that fits your needs the best12:30
adam9192No offence, but Xubuntu looks very plain :/12:30
apt-ghettoThat is no offence. Look and feel is always a very personal opinion12:31
guivercadam9192: you can configure it (Xubuntu) to look however you like; it has great capacity to change12:31
adam9192Any other distro's you would recommend? Only got one issue, it has to be lightweight12:33
Gfx009Thanks13:28
Gfx009Quick question guys13:28
Gfx009I tried using ifconfig on lubuntu and it seems it's not installed as part of the standard installation. Why's that so?13:28
