[01:55] <uhhhh> Hey, I'm trying to install lubuntu from a live usb to another. How would I do that?
[01:57] <uhhhh> Not to make another live one, to actually do a full install like on a hard drive
[01:58] <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)
[02:00] <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
[02:02] <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?
[02:03] <guiverc> you haven't given any release details, so I don't know which installer you are using.
[02:04] <guiverc> I would likely have only used manual partitioning
[02:11] <uhhhh> I'm using 19.10 x64
[02:12] <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/
[02:13] <guiverc> https://lubuntu.me/lubuntu-19-10-end-of-life-and-current-support-statuses/
[02:16] <uhhhh> just out of curiousity why is that version not on lubuntu.net?
[02:17] <guiverc> lubuntu.net is not a Lubuntu site (not affiliated with us), nor under Ubuntu control, so we cannot control it.
[02:18] <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
[02:21] <uhhhh> okay
[03:24] <uhhhh> guiverc: I installed 20.04 and I still have the same issue.
[03:25] <oerheks> just boot in live mode, wipe disk with diskutility, and start the intaller from desktop
[03:29] <uhhhh> Which command should I use for wiping with dskutil? I usually use fdisk or gparted
[03:33] <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
[03:35] <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.
[03:36] <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)
[03:38] <guiverc> fyi:  ubiquity was the installer used by releases up to 18.04; though I did it with versions earlier than 18.04
[03:40]  * guiverc booting up my daily on a dell box this time (was hp last time), see if different there..
[03:44] <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
[03:47] <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
[03:49] <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
[03:51] <uhhhh> guiverc: thanks
[05:15] <oh> dv
[08:05] <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?
[09:17] <DeathandGravity> Resolved by purging everything related to nvidia and reinstalling drivers.
[14:12] <Djarum-Super> is it 18.04 LTS ?
 there is new one for LTS
 if you use lubuntu.net it s not right adress
 use lubuntu.me which is right one
