[01:02] <Lightman777> Hello everybody
[01:03] <Lightman777> !ask how are everybody?
[01:03] <Lightman777> hello
[01:05] <guiverc> G'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-offtopic

[17:02] <guest12344321> Hey everyone :) question:
[17:03] <guest12344321> I 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] <guest12344321> How would I set up manual partitions settings?
 very painfully.
[17:05] <guest12344321> ?
 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 locations
[17:06] <guest12344321> Oof.. sounds hard 😅 no easy way of doing this?
 nope, not really.
 usually you have a 'system partition' for stuff to install to
 and then a separate home partition for your data
 etc.
[17:07] <guest12344321> Installing it to the SD card is also a bust :/
[17:08] <guest12344321> It = entire os
[17:09] <guest12344321> 😔
[19:29] <mx6523> i 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] <mx6523> I did a web search but every result was about using a USB drive
[19:34] <diogenes_> mx6523, only if use persistence.
[19:35] <mx6523> thanks, i'm researching that
 mx6523: persistence has to be done at the time of creation, and persistence is for Live USBs only
 if you are using a CD/DVD persistence is a no-go for you
[19:36] <mx6523> aww. i think the liveCD should have a way to write and load config changes to a persistent storage
[19:36] <mx6523> well, the main thing is that i want to save my wifi config.
 it might be possible to load persistence from a USB or such but I don't think a 'hybrid' solution is actually available
[19:36] <mx6523> maybe I can just backup and restore the wifi config file
[19:38] <mx6523> could 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.
 which is equally tricky because of the hashsum stuff now implemented
 the ISOs actually check their sums for validity 😜
 but it can be done
[19:40] <diogenes_> mx6523, your wifi connection is here: ls /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
[19:41] <mx6523> thanks! so i back up and restore that, and my issue is solved?
[19:42] <mx6523> i'm looking at this https://askubuntu.com/questions/46397/how-to-move-wifi-passwords-to-a-new-installation
[19:43] <diogenes_> yes you copy that file and restart the NetworkManager.
[20:52] <mx6523> does anyone have a link to a guide for setting up grub2? i'm searching the web, but it's not becoming clear
[20:52] <oerheks> !grub
[20:54] <mx6523> thanks!
[20:55] <mx6523> i 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 working
[21:03] <mx6523> okay i got grub installed. now to work on grub-imageboot
[21:08] <oerheks> bionicpup linux, .. not supported here, puppy linux
[21:08] <oerheks> oh wait, that is the original grub
[21:08] <oerheks> and you want to add ubuntu? chainloading?
[21:14] <mx6523> yes, i originally used bionicpup, but i'm working from lubuntu now
[21:14] <mx6523> i got grub-install to work, but update-grub fails, since i'm running from a live CD
[21:16] <mx6523> i am thinking of editing menu.lst since i can't execute grub update.. i don't really know what to do
[21:17] <mx6523> i see info on running update-grub from a liveCD, but it assumes Linux is installed
[21:22] <oerheks> how about letting puppy linux control grub?
[21:22] <oerheks> boot in it, and run os prober or update-grub
