lubot<Arnab> Hello13:45
guiverc@Arnab, if you have a Lubuntu support question, please just ask it, and be patient waiting for a response, people will when they can.13:46
lubot<Arnab> Trying to install lubuntu 19.10..but getting the following error!13:46
lubot<Arnab> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/SvUqXTy.jpg13:46
guiverc@Arnab, did you use the "Check disk for defects" option, it's likely your write to install media failed.  (mentioned in this page - https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.3/installation.html)13:49
lubot<arnabdafadar> @lubuntu_bot checked the disk. No error!13:50
dafadarHi13:53
guivercIf your machine (during install boot) is still running, a `dmesg |grep squashfs` should produce only a copyright type notice.. you'll see squashfs errors if it's what I was thinking of..13:53

lubot<arnabdafadar> @guiverc 'dmesg |grep squashfs' returns a version with the name of the person!14:02
lubot<arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/3kPikwe.jpg14:03
guivercthat is the expected line (I referred to as copyright type notice), your issue is not squashfs; i was wrong sorry.14:05
lubot<arnabdafadar> @guiverc okay! Thanks.14:05
lubot<arnabdafadar> Zorin Os and Linux Mint seems to install absolutely fine..but this issue i am facing only while installing Lubuntu14:06
lubot<arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/udbmRdH.jpg This is the partition option i get when trying to install14:07

lubot<Rudra Bali> @tsimonq215:01
lubot<tsimonq2> Okay cool15:01

lubot<Rudra Bali> @tsimonq215:19
lubot<arnabdafadar> Rudra Nice Promo 😃15:20
lubot<Rudra Bali> Thanks :)15:20
lubot<arnabdafadar> Can't seem to install it to enjoy the perks of Lubuntu ☹️15:21
lubot<Rudra Bali> Ah, I guess we'll need an installation guide15:21
lubot<Rudra Bali> https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.3/installation.html15:22
lubot<Rudra Bali> Hope it works out15:22
lubot<Rudra Bali> :)15:22
lubot<arnabdafadar> That would be great! But I think, the issue I am facing is something odd!15:23
lubot<Rudra Bali> What?15:24
lubot<Rudra Bali> What's the issue?15:25
lubot<arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/JwTnxbX.jpg I am getting this! 😶😐15:25
lubot<TheLimeRunner> Have you verified the ISO and tried a different install medium (IE: used a different usb key)?15:28
lubot<Rudra Bali> I know another guy who faced the issue and it was an issue relating to downloads. Bittorrent should help since it verifies while downloading15:29
lubot<arnabdafadar> I am doing that now! Downloading via torrent and will be create a live usb on a different pendrive15:29
lubot<arnabdafadar> Will update you about the progress15:29
lubot<arnabdafadar> Thanks15:29
lubot<arnabdafadar> Rudra Music of the promo video is catchy...may i know which one did you use?15:32
lubot<Rudra Bali> Had one lying around, sharing15:32
lubot<arnabdafadar> Okay15:36

lubot<Rudra Bali> @arnabdafadar15:42
lubot<arnabdafadar> Rudra Thanks! Its my new ringtone 😎15:43
lubot<Rudra Bali> 😀15:44
lubot<kc2bez> @arnabdafadar [<reply to image>], You will need to unmount the mmc device before starting the installer.16:13
=== BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez [You will need to unmount the mmc device before starting the installer.], Tried installing Lubuntu 16.04 and it installed fine. But want to try 19.10. can you please list the steps to unmount the mmc? I am a bit noob in linux 😐16:26
lubot<kc2bez> no problem. I will list out some steps. if you need clarification please let me know.16:28
lubot<kc2bez> step 1 reboot into a live session.16:28
lubot<arnabdafadar> Okqy16:29
lubot<kc2bez> step 2 once booted, open kde partition manager. It can be found in the menu under system tools.16:29
lubot<arnabdafadar> Okay16:30
lubot<kc2bez> step 3 once kde partition manager opens you should see devices on the left pane. select the mmc device.16:30
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Btw..the bootable usb i have created is NTFS formatted. That shouldn't be the issue right?16:31
lubot<kc2bez> what did you use to write the USB?16:32
lubot<arnabdafadar> Rufus... selected GPT partition scheme and NTFS format.... … Since i am loading this ubuntu in a BayTrail based processor, i have to manually copy a bootia32.efi file inside the /EFI/BOOT folder in the live usb16:34
lubot<arnabdafadar> @arnabdafadar [Rufus... selected GPT partition scheme and NTFS format.... … Since i am loading th …], With this exact method, i have successfully installed ZORIN OS and Linux Mint...no issues there16:35
lubot<arnabdafadar> But lubuntu is giving me the problem16:35
lubot<kc2bez> ok. it may not matter. let's keep going with unmounting the mmc device.16:35
lubot<arnabdafadar> Yup16:35
lubot<kc2bez> step 4 on the right pane you should see the partition select it and right click. one of the options should be unmount16:36
lubot<kc2bez> step 5 once it is unmounted restart the installer.16:38
lubot<arnabdafadar> Give me 1 min.. following your steps16:39
lubot<arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/pSsRXzd.jpg I am supposed to select the one which is selected on the left... correct?16:40
lubot<kc2bez> You have it selected correct. now right click on the partitions in the right hand side and select unmount.16:42
lubot<arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/b33bjiU.jpg Unmounted the one  selected in blue inside the pink circle16:43
lubot<kc2bez> I would unmount the other 2 if you have the option16:43
lubot<arnabdafadar> Those two are not mounted i guess...the unmount option is greyed out16:44
lubot<kc2bez> ok.16:44
lubot<kc2bez> try the installer now to see if the erase option is there.16:45
lubot<arnabdafadar> Ok.. trying16:45
lubot<arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/M5Q9PIQ.jpg Now it shows the familiar options 😁😁16:46
lubot<arnabdafadar> Giving it a try.. hoping it will run16:46
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Thanks a ton! Much appreciated 🙂🙂16:46
lubot<kc2bez> sounds good. please let us know.16:47
lubot<arnabdafadar> Sure! Will do16:47
lubot<arnabdafadar> Oops!16:47
lubot<arnabdafadar> Same thing ☹️16:47
lubot<arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/ePmfjM2.jpg16:47
lubot<arnabdafadar> Opening kde partition manager, i can see the mmc partitions mounted again16:48
lubot<kc2bez> you may want to try burning the iso with balena etcher.16:48
lubot<kc2bez> yeah the installer mounted them16:49
lubot<kc2bez> since it didn't finish correctly it never unmounted16:49
lubot<arnabdafadar> Balena will not do the job... because i need the live usb to be in GPT format for UEFI boot16:49
lubot<arnabdafadar> Balena does not give me the option to select GPT or MBR16:50
lubot<kc2bez> even with Lubuntu?16:50
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez [even with Lubuntu?], Sorry? I didn't get you16:50
lubot<kc2bez> I think it may boot correctly but perhaps I am wrong.16:51
lubot<arnabdafadar> Lubuntu iso is GPT formatted or MBR?16:51
lubot<kc2bez> it should handle either EFI or bios legacy boot.16:52
lubot<arnabdafadar> Let me give it a try...other distros burned with balena...never worked on the system i used...let me try with lubuntu...will update you in 5 mins16:53
toumboI'm a Greek user who just installed 19.10 an I seek a way to add greek layout16:53

lubot<Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> So... … I'm a Greek user who just installed 19.10 and I seek a way to add greek layout17:00
lubot<kc2bez> @Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης [So... … I'm a Greek user who just installed 19.10 and I seek a way to add greek la …], I am not sure the best way to do that. Hopefully someone else does.17:02
lubot<Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> Maybe there are multiple ways, interesting17:03
lubot<Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> On previous lxde versions, I used a panel widget for this17:05
lubot<Rudra Bali> Updated the logo for the video: Updated video: https://youtu.be/r1KSf9b0elE17:05
lubot<Rudra Bali> According to what @HMollerCl said17:05
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez well... created a live media using balena...but i need to copy bootia32.efi file inside /EFI/BOOT in the pendrive...and the folder inside the pendrive is read only (thats what balena does)17:24
lubot<Rudra Bali> Try Rufus17:25
lubot<arnabdafadar> Chown and chmod is not working to remove the read only attributes..and hence can not boot from that17:25
lubot<Rudra Bali> What about dd?17:25
lubot<arnabdafadar> I was using rufus only..but @kc2bez suggested to try with balena once..but it seems rufus is the way i have to go17:25
lubot<Rudra Bali> Rufus should be used in such cases17:26
lubot<arnabdafadar> My installation error for lubuntu is still there! 😬😬17:26
lubot<kc2bez> Very strange indeed. I don't have a good answer unfortunately.17:27
lubot<arnabdafadar> Anything else i should try?17:28
lubot<Rudra Bali> Try with CSM in your BIOS17:29
lubot<arnabdafadar> No csm option in bios17:30
lubot<arnabdafadar> Its an old system17:30
lubot<Rudra Bali> Select Legacy Boot17:30
lubot<arnabdafadar> Well...let me try a different approach..17:44
lubot<arnabdafadar> I will try and install Lubuntu 19.10 in my newer system with latest AMD processor and AsRock motherboard....if it installs correctly..then my old system is the culprit.... otherwise i have no idea 😶17:46
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Rudra will keep you posted!17:46
lubot<kc2bez> Ok thanks @arnabdafadar17:47
lubot<arnabdafadar> Well..18:06
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Rudra posted the error.18:08
lubot<arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/a3M9J8l.jpg The same issue persists in my newer system as well. Well...now i have no idea 😬18:08
lubot<kc2bez> @arnabdafadar out of curiosity, where did you download from?18:09
lubot<arnabdafadar> Lubuntu website18:09
lubot<arnabdafadar> Torrent download18:09
lubot<kc2bez> which site exactly?18:10
lubot<arnabdafadar> (Photo, 606x1280) https://i.imgur.com/UQDS2d1.jpg18:10
lubot<Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> .me or .net?18:10
lubot<arnabdafadar> https://lubuntu.me/downloads/18:11
lubot<kc2bez> ok good, just wanted to make sure.18:11
lubot<arnabdafadar> Okay18:11
lubot<arnabdafadar> Should i try with 20.04?18:11
lubot<kc2bez> I am not sure. Maybe it is an issue with the USB itself? Do you have another one to try?18:12
lubot<arnabdafadar> I have 4 USBs... tried with two18:12
lubot<kc2bez> 20.04 wouldn't be a bad test either.18:12
lubot<arnabdafadar> Okay downloading 20.04 and creating a fresh usb18:12
lubot<arnabdafadar> This error has snatched away my sleep!! 😣18:13
lubot<kc2bez> Sorry for that.18:13
lubot<kc2bez> I am at a loss. usually squashfs errors are due to a bad download or disk.18:14
lubot<arnabdafadar> Let me try with this 20.04 and a new usb..will keep posted18:15
lubot<arnabdafadar> Whats squashfs exactly?18:15
lubot<kc2bez> Ok thanks.18:15
lubot<kc2bez> that is the compressed image that gets transferred to your Target drive.18:15
lubot<kc2bez> squash=compressed fs=file system18:16
lubot<arnabdafadar> @Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης [.me or .net?], Which version did you install? And did you face any errors? Fresh install?18:16
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez [squash=compressed fs=file system], Oh! Got it..thanks... lets give 20.04 a try18:17
lubot<arnabdafadar> Any suggestions to clean the usb before making it bootable?18:17
lubot<kc2bez> a format can't hurt. usually the writing tool overwrites the drive.18:18
lubot<arnabdafadar> Yaa..will format it via cmd and try it18:19
lubot<kc2bez> I don't really use Windows so I can't help too much with that. I usually use `dd` from the command line. I understand that isn't the most straight forward method.18:20
lubot<arnabdafadar> Okay no issues. Will clean it up and give it a try18:20
lubot<arnabdafadar> Btw..thanks for all the help till now 🙂18:21
lubot<arnabdafadar> (Photo, 606x1280) https://i.imgur.com/s9ssUgb.jpg @kc2bez do you think this might be of any help?18:24
lubot<kc2bez> I guess you could try that but I would not think that was the issue here.18:27
lubot<arnabdafadar> Okay18:27
lubot<arnabdafadar> Lets see18:27
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Hey.. good news I guess! 20.04 did not give that error and got past that step..still installing ...keeping my fingers crossed!19:06
lubot<arnabdafadar> One thing i did different is that i formatted the bootable usb in fat32 instead of NTFS i was doing earlier...19:07
lubot<arnabdafadar> Will try 19.10 with fat32 tomorrow and will let you know19:07
kc2bezOk thanks.19:07
kc2bezI appreciate the update.19:07
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Thanks once again 🙂19:08
kc2bezYou are most welcome.19:08
lubot<arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Btw..just curious..when will 20.04 stable be released?19:10
kc2bezThe end of April.19:11
lubot<arnabdafadar> Great! Thanks19:11
lubot<arnabdafadar> Bye19:11
kc2bezOn or around the 23rd.19:11
kc2bezOk take care.19:12
