[03:04] test [03:04] hi all [03:05] mrk, Hi, but please note this is a Lubuntu Support room, if you have a question please ask it (try and keep to a single line, and be patient waiting for replies, people will when they can) === lubuntu is now known as Guest67171 [06:58] hello world again. === sam is now known as Guest9059 [10:51] the21composer was added by: the21composer [13:45] Arnab was added by: Arnab [13:45] Hello [13:46] @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] Trying to install lubuntu 19.10..but getting the following error! [13:46] (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/SvUqXTy.jpg [13:49] @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) [13:50] @lubuntu_bot checked the disk. No error! [13:53] Hi [13:53] If 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.. [14:00] Hey guys [14:00] What's Ubuntu? [14:01] !ubuntu [14:01] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [14:01] Thanks [14:02] @guiverc 'dmesg |grep squashfs' returns a version with the name of the person! [14:03] (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/3kPikwe.jpg [14:05] that is the expected line (I referred to as copyright type notice), your issue is not squashfs; i was wrong sorry. [14:05] @guiverc okay! Thanks. [14:06] Zorin Os and Linux Mint seems to install absolutely fine..but this issue i am facing only while installing Lubuntu [14:07] (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/udbmRdH.jpg This is the partition option i get when trying to install [14:37] Is it lubuntu manual page on the system out of the box? I cant find it [14:38] * Is it lubuntu manual on the system out of the box? I cant find it [15:01] Made a promo video [15:01] @tsimonq2 [15:01] Okay cool [15:01] Sharing :) [15:01] Wrong channel though :} [15:01] Ah made a mistake [15:02] Will post in Dev [15:18] https://youtu.be/_jOn_KuyzKM [15:19] @tsimonq2 [15:20] Rudra Nice Promo 😃 [15:20] Thanks :) [15:21] Can't seem to install it to enjoy the perks of Lubuntu ☹️ [15:21] Ah, I guess we'll need an installation guide [15:22] https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.3/installation.html [15:22] Hope it works out [15:22] :) [15:23] That would be great! But I think, the issue I am facing is something odd! [15:24] What? [15:25] What's the issue? [15:25] (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/JwTnxbX.jpg I am getting this! 😶😐 [15:28] Have you verified the ISO and tried a different install medium (IE: used a different usb key)? [15:29] I know another guy who faced the issue and it was an issue relating to downloads. Bittorrent should help since it verifies while downloading [15:29] I am doing that now! Downloading via torrent and will be create a live usb on a different pendrive [15:29] Will update you about the progress [15:29] Thanks [15:32] Rudra Music of the promo video is catchy...may i know which one did you use? [15:32] Had one lying around, sharing [15:36] Okay [15:39] maybe useful https://forum.manjaro.org/t/boost-python-error-in-job-unpackfs-while-installing-18-0-4/85666 [15:42] @arnabdafadar [15:43] Rudra Thanks! Its my new ringtone 😎 [15:44] 😀 [16:13] @arnabdafadar [], You will need to unmount the mmc device before starting the installer. === BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK [16:26] @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 😐 [16:28] no problem. I will list out some steps. if you need clarification please let me know. [16:28] step 1 reboot into a live session. [16:29] Okqy [16:29] step 2 once booted, open kde partition manager. It can be found in the menu under system tools. [16:30] Okay [16:30] step 3 once kde partition manager opens you should see devices on the left pane. select the mmc device. [16:31] @kc2bez Btw..the bootable usb i have created is NTFS formatted. That shouldn't be the issue right? [16:32] what did you use to write the USB? [16:34] 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 usb [16:35] @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 there [16:35] But lubuntu is giving me the problem [16:35] ok. it may not matter. let's keep going with unmounting the mmc device. [16:35] Yup [16:36] step 4 on the right pane you should see the partition select it and right click. one of the options should be unmount [16:38] step 5 once it is unmounted restart the installer. [16:39] Give me 1 min.. following your steps [16:40] (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/pSsRXzd.jpg I am supposed to select the one which is selected on the left... correct? [16:42] You have it selected correct. now right click on the partitions in the right hand side and select unmount. [16:43] (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/b33bjiU.jpg Unmounted the one selected in blue inside the pink circle [16:43] I would unmount the other 2 if you have the option [16:44] Those two are not mounted i guess...the unmount option is greyed out [16:44] ok. [16:45] try the installer now to see if the erase option is there. [16:45] Ok.. trying [16:46] (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/M5Q9PIQ.jpg Now it shows the familiar options 😁😁 [16:46] Giving it a try.. hoping it will run [16:46] @kc2bez Thanks a ton! Much appreciated 🙂🙂 [16:47] sounds good. please let us know. [16:47] Sure! Will do [16:47] Oops! [16:47] Same thing ☹️ [16:47] (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/ePmfjM2.jpg [16:48] Opening kde partition manager, i can see the mmc partitions mounted again [16:48] you may want to try burning the iso with balena etcher. [16:49] yeah the installer mounted them [16:49] since it didn't finish correctly it never unmounted [16:49] Balena will not do the job... because i need the live usb to be in GPT format for UEFI boot [16:50] Balena does not give me the option to select GPT or MBR [16:50] even with Lubuntu? [16:50] @kc2bez [even with Lubuntu?], Sorry? I didn't get you [16:51] I think it may boot correctly but perhaps I am wrong. [16:51] Lubuntu iso is GPT formatted or MBR? [16:52] it should handle either EFI or bios legacy boot. [16:53] 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 mins [16:53] I'm a Greek user who just installed 19.10 an I seek a way to add greek layout [16:53] ok thanks @arnabdafadar [16:58] Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης was added by: Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης [16:59] <Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> Ohh Bridge bot delivered my message on telegram, neat! [17:00] <Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> So... … I'm a Greek user who just installed 19.10 and I seek a way to add greek layout [17:02] @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. [17:03] <Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> Maybe there are multiple ways, interesting [17:05] <Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> On previous lxde versions, I used a panel widget for this [17:05] Updated the logo for the video: Updated video: https://youtu.be/r1KSf9b0elE [17:05] According to what @HMollerCl said [17:24] @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) [17:25] Try Rufus [17:25] Chown and chmod is not working to remove the read only attributes..and hence can not boot from that [17:25] What about dd? [17:25] I was using rufus only..but @kc2bez suggested to try with balena once..but it seems rufus is the way i have to go [17:26] Rufus should be used in such cases [17:26] My installation error for lubuntu is still there! 😬😬 [17:27] Very strange indeed. I don't have a good answer unfortunately. [17:28] Anything else i should try? [17:29] Try with CSM in your BIOS [17:30] No csm option in bios [17:30] Its an old system [17:30] Select Legacy Boot [17:44] Well...let me try a different approach.. [17:46] 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] @kc2bez Rudra will keep you posted! [17:47] Ok thanks @arnabdafadar [18:06] Well.. [18:08] @kc2bez Rudra posted the error. [18:08] (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/a3M9J8l.jpg The same issue persists in my newer system as well. Well...now i have no idea 😬 [18:09] @arnabdafadar out of curiosity, where did you download from? [18:09] Lubuntu website [18:09] Torrent download [18:10] which site exactly? [18:10] (Photo, 606x1280) https://i.imgur.com/UQDS2d1.jpg [18:10] <Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> .me or .net? [18:11] https://lubuntu.me/downloads/ [18:11] ok good, just wanted to make sure. [18:11] Okay [18:11] Should i try with 20.04? [18:12] I am not sure. Maybe it is an issue with the USB itself? Do you have another one to try? [18:12] I have 4 USBs... tried with two [18:12] 20.04 wouldn't be a bad test either. [18:12] Okay downloading 20.04 and creating a fresh usb [18:13] This error has snatched away my sleep!! 😣 [18:13] Sorry for that. [18:14] I am at a loss. usually squashfs errors are due to a bad download or disk. [18:15] Let me try with this 20.04 and a new usb..will keep posted [18:15] Whats squashfs exactly? [18:15] Ok thanks. [18:15] that is the compressed image that gets transferred to your Target drive. [18:16] squash=compressed fs=file system [18:16] @Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης [.me or .net?], Which version did you install? And did you face any errors? Fresh install? [18:17] @kc2bez [squash=compressed fs=file system], Oh! Got it..thanks... lets give 20.04 a try [18:17] Any suggestions to clean the usb before making it bootable? [18:18] a format can't hurt. usually the writing tool overwrites the drive. [18:19] Yaa..will format it via cmd and try it [18:20] 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] Okay no issues. Will clean it up and give it a try [18:21] Btw..thanks for all the help till now 🙂 [18:24] (Photo, 606x1280) https://i.imgur.com/s9ssUgb.jpg @kc2bez do you think this might be of any help? [18:27] I guess you could try that but I would not think that was the issue here. [18:27] Okay [18:27] Lets see [19:06] @kc2bez Hey.. good news I guess! 20.04 did not give that error and got past that step..still installing ...keeping my fingers crossed! [19:07] One thing i did different is that i formatted the bootable usb in fat32 instead of NTFS i was doing earlier... [19:07] Will try 19.10 with fat32 tomorrow and will let you know [19:07] Ok thanks. [19:07] I appreciate the update. [19:08] @kc2bez Thanks once again 🙂 [19:08] You are most welcome. [19:10] @kc2bez Btw..just curious..when will 20.04 stable be released? [19:11] The end of April. [19:11] Great! Thanks [19:11] Bye [19:11] On or around the 23rd. [19:12] Ok take care.
