[09:59] !ask [09:59] Please 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 !patience [10:00] Here 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 that [10:00] Lubuntu 18.10? [10:00] No, 19.04 [10:02] Please show us the entire error message [10:03] Okey, one second [10:08] Boost.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 [10:09] Might be better if i send a screenshot [10:10] No, it is okay [10:10] And text can be copied [10:11] Yeah...Like i'm on the live usb right now, because if i try to boot it will just be stuck a grub :/ [10:12] I will just be stuck at grub* [10:14] Please open a terminal in your live system, execute `{ sudo parted --list; sudo efibootmgr -v; } | pastebinit` and share the url [10:15] Okey [10:17] https://hastebin.com/pugixosusi.sql [10:19] The output seems normal [10:19] Let's try to install Grub manually [10:20] Open a new terminal and execute line by line: [10:20] `sudo -s` [10:20] `mount /dev/sda2 /mnt` [10:20] `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi` [10:21] `for i in dev dev/pts proc sys sys/firmware; do mount --bind /$i /mnt/$i; done` [10:21] `chroot /mnt` [10:21] `grub-install` [10:21] `update-grub` [10:21] `exit` [10:22] Okey...I'll give it a try [10:24] I'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" [10:25] It's short for `mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev; mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts` etc [10:27] I have copypasted it from a well-known wiki [10:27] https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/EFI_Problembehebung/ [10:41] I'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? [10:47] i have an error while installing lubuntu 19.04, it keeps saying boost.python error in job "bootloader", i've already verified the iso. [11:03] Is anyone here? [11:39] adam9192: It didn't work? [11:43] No [11:43] Sadly [11:43] Any error message? [11:44] It can't find /boot/uefi something like that [11:47] Did you choose "Erase disk" during the installation? [11:47] Yes [11:48] I wanted a clean install [11:48] Why? [11:50] After which command did you get the error message? [11:50] grub-install [11:52] Was it "grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory"? [11:53] Yeah [11:55] It's getting really troublesome to install this distro -_- [11:55] Was there an error, when you did `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi`? [11:55] No [11:57] Please show `ls -l /mnt/boot/efi`, if you have the partition still mounted [12:01] Okey, one sencond [12:06] It says there are no such files or directory? [12:07] Restart your live usb, so we have a clean environment and execute the commands again [12:08] I mean the commands to install Grub manually [12:10] Sorry, but what was the commands again? [12:11] You can see them in the irc log, so you can make simply copy & paste: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2019/05/05/%23lubuntu.html#t10:20 [12:14] To be clear: Without the backticks [12:15] When i do "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" i get mount: /mnt: unknown filesystem type 'swap' [12:16] Then you have changed your partitions. My commands are based on https://hastebin.com/pugixosusi.sql [12:18] In this case, I would reinstall with "Erase disk" [12:19] Um, for some reason i do not have that option anymore [12:25] I think i'm going to give up and find another distro. Thanks for trying to help. [12:26] Ok, Xubuntu might be a good alternative or you find a distro also with LXQt, like Fedora [12:27] Is Xubuntu lightweight? [12:28] Yes, it is also lightweight, but based on GTK [12:29] If you ask 5 people about the best Linux distro, you will get 7 answers [12:29] Wait what? [12:30] Try it out and take the distro, that fits your needs the best [12:30] No offence, but Xubuntu looks very plain :/ [12:31] That is no offence. Look and feel is always a very personal opinion [12:31] adam9192: you can configure it (Xubuntu) to look however you like; it has great capacity to change [12:33] Any other distro's you would recommend? Only got one issue, it has to be lightweight [13:28] Thanks [13:28] Quick question guys [13:28] I tried using ifconfig on lubuntu and it seems it's not installed as part of the standard installation. Why's that so?

[15:42] sappheiros, maybe with: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser [15:44] ugh i changed it but it still opened firefox clicking a link in quassel [15:44] does the GUI to change default types not work? [15:44] or does it only work for *files*? [15:46] diogenes_: thanks, but it shows already falkon auto mode is selected [16:11] sappheiros, is the value 100? === lubuntu is now known as Guest51255 [17:37] hello [17:38] I need some help as I'm a starter with Lubuntu . : I would like to see my network drive . Should I ise Samba ? [17:39] I'm trying to launch it but it is not working [18:33] https://manual.lubuntu.me/3/3.2/3.2.5/desktop.html command line at the bottom doesn't explain what name value should be used or what it represents [18:34] i'm afraid to give an arbitrary name lest i'm actually renaming some configuration [18:49] why does libreoffice lack the 'save with password' checkbox the help documentation mentions? === fernando is now known as Dr_DrOp
