| uhhhh | Hey, I'm trying to install lubuntu from a live usb to another. How would I do that? | 01:55 |
|---|---|---|
| uhhhh | Not to make another live one, to actually do a full install like on a hard drive | 01:57 |
| guiverc | uhhhh, I haven't tried to do that in ages, but I used to just select the 'drive' that was the thumb-drive I wanted to use, and install to that (have boot-loader put on that device too) I've not done it with calamares though (older releases only using ubiquity) | 01:58 |
| guiverc | uhhhh, I also used to find it easier to do on some boxes over others; same way on a different box seemed to not work as well, so it was trial & error with boxes until I got what I wanted; no difference in what I did, just results seemed to differ by box/firmware | 02:00 |
| uhhhh | When I get to the menu for selecting a drive I can select my drive, but it forces me to do a manual partitioning. I can only progress further if I mount it to the live drive in the / folder, but it errors out when I actually start the procedure. I did it on another box. I forgot how I did it though. Does it really vary by system for something like this? | 02:02 |
| guiverc | you haven't given any release details, so I don't know which installer you are using. | 02:03 |
| guiverc | I would likely have only used manual partitioning | 02:04 |
| uhhhh | I'm using 19.10 x64 | 02:11 |
| guiverc | uhhhh, Lubuntu 19.10 (and all 19.10) is EOL. Start with a supported release such as Lubuntu 20.04 LTS | 02:12 |
| guiverc | uhhhh, http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2020/07/17/ubuntu-19-10-eoan-ermine-end-of-life-reached-on-july-17-2020/ | 02:12 |
| guiverc | https://lubuntu.me/lubuntu-19-10-end-of-life-and-current-support-statuses/ | 02:13 |
| uhhhh | just out of curiousity why is that version not on lubuntu.net? | 02:16 |
| guiverc | lubuntu.net is not a Lubuntu site (not affiliated with us), nor under Ubuntu control, so we cannot control it. | 02:17 |
| guiverc | If you want to use an official site, ask ubuntu.com (ie. https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) which will take you to official sites.... don't ask search engines unless you can work out which is official yourself | 02:18 |
| uhhhh | okay | 02:21 |
| uhhhh | guiverc: I installed 20.04 and I still have the same issue. | 03:24 |
| oerheks | just boot in live mode, wipe disk with diskutility, and start the intaller from desktop | 03:25 |
| uhhhh | Which command should I use for wiping with dskutil? I usually use fdisk or gparted | 03:29 |
| guiverc | uhhhh, as I said earlier, I've not done it with calamares, but I'm booting up a recent groovy daily, and will have a look to see if it's easy, or at least how I'd expect to do it | 03:33 |
| uhhhh | guiverc: Okay, thanks. I got it to work somehow on my other pc, but I have no idea why it worked there or what I did. | 03:35 |
| guiverc | the installer (calamares) is only letting me select internal drive, both for install & for MBR. I said earlier I'd not done it for years, and then it was ubiquity. I did say earlier I found it easier on some boxes, problematic on other boxes, but I suspect that may no longer apply. An alternative maybe writing with persistence (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/persistent) | 03:36 |
| guiverc | fyi: ubiquity was the installer used by releases up to 18.04; though I did it with versions earlier than 18.04 | 03:38 |
| * guiverc booting up my daily on a dell box this time (was hp last time), see if different there.. | 03:40 | |
| guiverc | nah the dell will only let me install to floppy drive, or internal hdd (floppy is a different issue).. identical result to hp. I'd suggest persistence with 20.04; I know that works | 03:44 |
| uhhhh | guiverc: Yeah, for my particular scenario at least one of my computers really doesn't like usb 3 so that's why I want a full install, but thanks so much for your help. This should be workable. If there's any decently lightweight distros based on ubuntu/debian that would have this feature let me know | 03:47 |
| guiverc | I would expect it to work with 18.04, as it was ubiquity as I've stated I last did it with, though was an earlier release than 18.04 I last used it with. No guarantees as I can't recall when I last did it | 03:49 |
| uhhhh | guiverc: thanks | 03:51 |
| oh | dv | 05:15 |

| DeathandGravity | I'm having some issues getting nvidia drivers functional on my 20.04 LTS. On running nvidia-settings I'm getting error pings that the Driver is not loaded but prime select indicates Nvidia is loaded and I seem to have the full dependancies requisit for 440. | 08:05 |
| DeathandGravity | I'm also getting this as output when I run nvidia-settings : | 08:05 |
| DeathandGravity | (nvidia-settings:1791): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 01:18:05.602: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed | 08:05 |
| DeathandGravity | Anyone able to assist? | 08:05 |
| === molluskempire is now known as DeathandGravity | ||
| DeathandGravity | Resolved by purging everything related to nvidia and reinstalling drivers. | 09:17 |
