guivercG'day Lightman777, if you have a Lubuntu support question, please just ask it (try and keep to a single line, be patient as people will answer when they can), chit-chat should be in #lubuntu-offtopic01:05

guest12344321Hey everyone :) question:17:02
guest12344321I have a 32gb laptop and a 256 SD card. How would I install the os so it functions from the SSD and make applications install on the SD?17:03
guest12344321How would I set up manual partitions settings?17:03
lubot<teward001> very painfully.17:05
guest12344321?17:05
lubot<teward001> with a LOT of partitions which wuold be a problem for the drives.  I mention this because USUALLY packages get installed to different folders across multiple locations17:05
guest12344321Oof.. sounds hard 😅 no easy way of doing this?17:06
lubot<teward001> nope, not really.17:06
lubot<teward001> usually you have a 'system partition' for stuff to install to17:06
lubot<teward001> and then a separate home partition for your data17:06
lubot<teward001> etc.17:06
guest12344321Installing it to the SD card is also a bust :/17:07
guest12344321It = entire os17:08
guest12344321😔17:09

mx6523i am using the latest Lubuntu liveCD. Is there a way I can backup all my config changes and reload them next time I load this CD?19:29
mx6523I did a web search but every result was about using a USB drive19:29
=== lubuntu is now known as mx6523
diogenes_mx6523, only if use persistence.19:34
mx6523thanks, i'm researching that19:35
lubot<teward001> mx6523: persistence has to be done at the time of creation, and persistence is for Live USBs only19:35
lubot<teward001> if you are using a CD/DVD persistence is a no-go for you19:35
mx6523aww. i think the liveCD should have a way to write and load config changes to a persistent storage19:36
mx6523well, the main thing is that i want to save my wifi config.19:36
lubot<teward001> it might be possible to load persistence from a USB or such but I don't think a 'hybrid' solution is actually available19:36
mx6523maybe I can just backup and restore the wifi config file19:36
mx6523could anyone tell me what to backup to save my wifi settings?19:38
diogenes_mx6523, another way is edit the iso itself and include all the configs there.19:38
lubot<teward001> which is equally tricky because of the hashsum stuff now implemented19:39
lubot<teward001> the ISOs actually check their sums for validity 😜19:39
lubot<teward001> but it can be done19:39
diogenes_mx6523, your wifi connection is here: ls /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/19:40
mx6523thanks! so i back up and restore that, and my issue is solved?19:41
mx6523i'm looking at this https://askubuntu.com/questions/46397/how-to-move-wifi-passwords-to-a-new-installation19:42
diogenes_yes you copy that file and restart the NetworkManager.19:43

mx6523does anyone have a link to a guide for setting up grub2? i'm searching the web, but it's not becoming clear20:52
oerheks!grub20:52
ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub220:52
mx6523thanks!20:54
mx6523i already installed grub2 using bionicpup linux, but i want to update it using the latest ubuntu release. i'm also trying to get grub-imageboot working20:55
mx6523okay i got grub installed. now to work on grub-imageboot21:03

oerheksbionicpup linux, .. not supported here, puppy linux21:08
oerheksoh wait, that is the original grub21:08
oerheksand you want to add ubuntu? chainloading?21:08
mx6523yes, i originally used bionicpup, but i'm working from lubuntu now21:14
mx6523i got grub-install to work, but update-grub fails, since i'm running from a live CD21:14
mx6523i am thinking of editing menu.lst since i can't execute grub update.. i don't really know what to do21:16
mx6523i see info on running update-grub from a liveCD, but it assumes Linux is installed21:17
oerhekshow about letting puppy linux control grub?21:22
oerheksboot in it, and run os prober or update-grub21:22
