[15:02] <amsb> howdy folks, I'm having trouble with adding an openVPN connection from a config file. The option to "import saved configuration" is missing from the Edit Connections dialog. IIRC, I need to install a plugin to get that to show up, but I'm having trouble determining which one...
[15:11] <amsb> Nevermind folks, I found it. Just needed to install network-manager-openvpn package and logout and log back in Thanks anyway!
[15:18] <aaadsfasd> hello
[15:19] <diogenes_> !hello
[20:16] <xu-help68w> Hi there folks. I've got a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD that I've reduced down to 450GB (NTFS) and 50GB (unallocated). I'm trying to install Xubuntu on the 50GB unallocated space but I can't really figure out how to do it. The NTFS partition doesn't have a windows install, just games & movies etc.
[20:19] <diogenes_> xu-help68w, select the unallocated space and click on +.
[20:19] <diogenes_> filesystem: ext4, mountpoint: /
[20:20] <diogenes_> that's it (if your system is uefi then you need 2 partitions).
[20:21] <xu-help68w> I tried to do something similar to that but it told me I hadn't defined a root something or other - sorry I can't be of more help I'm on Windows atm
[20:22] <xu-help68w> I read somewhere that having Windows fast-boot enabled might be what's breaking it. I created several partitions - /, /home, & a linux swap but they threw up an error too.
[20:30] <xu-irc79w> Hi there folks, I was here a few seconds ago on Windows, I'm now on the installer screen for Xubuntu. I've assigned a 50GB (unallocated) partition on my SSD as "/" but whenever I click 'Install Now' I get the following error;
[20:31] <xu-irc79w> The attempt to mount a file system with type vfat in SCSI4 (0,0,0), partition 1 (sdc) at /boot/efi failed.
[20:32] <diogenes_> xu-irc79w, ok now do this:
[20:34] <diogenes_> 1) choose that space, click + then make a partition: size 100Mb, filesystem: vfat mountpoint: /boot/efi (or EFI partition)
[20:35] <diogenes_> 2) after that the remaining space click +, filesystem: ext4, mountpoint: /
[20:35] <diogenes_> install
[20:39] <xu-irc79w> diogenes_ I can't find vfat under the "Use as:" tab on the create partition screen of the installer.
[20:39] <xu-irc79w> I can see FAT16 and FAT32 though.
[20:40] <coconut> vfat=fat32
[20:40] <diogenes_> fat32
[20:40] <coconut> afaik
[20:40] <diogenes_> yes
[20:41] <xu-irc79w> gotcha
[20:44] <xu-irc79w> Alright, now I get the message "Two file systems are assigned the same mount point (/boot/efi): SCSI4 (0,0,0), partition 1 (sdc) and SCSI4 (0,0,0), partition 3 (sdc).
[20:44] <xu-irc79w> Please correct this by changing mount points.

[20:46] <diogenes_> xu-irc79w, click on /dev/sdc1
[20:46] <diogenes_> edit
[20:47] <diogenes_> and choose no mountpoint.
[20:47] <xu-irc79w> If I select sdc1, when I click change I can only select what to use it as
[20:47] <xu-irc79w> Should I choose do not use partition?
[20:48] <diogenes_> yes
[20:48]  * diogenes_ forgot the options names )
[20:49] <xu-irc79w> Now it says "No EFI System Partition was found. This system will likely not be able to boot successfully, and the installation process may fail. Please go back and add an EFI System Partition, or continue at your own risk."
[20:50] <diogenes_> screen.
[20:50] <xu-irc79w> 2 secs
[20:50] <xu-irc79w> https://imgur.com/vCvXS9u.png
[20:53] <diogenes_> hmm ok then remove /dev/sdc3 and /dev/sdc4, create only 1 partition /dev/sdc3 ext4 / and click on /dev/sdc1 use as: EFI
[20:56] <xu-irc79w> It worked! It's installing as normal now. Tysm diogenes_
[20:57] <diogenes_> xu-irc79w, glad to help, you're welcome :)
