[16:19] <pbox> hello, hope everyone is OK! I am having trouble with the lubuntu installer - I can boot fine from the USB but when I try to partition the hard drives the installer crashes
[16:20] <pbox> I wonder if there's a way of starting it from the command line and see if there are error messages along the way - or other forms of troubleshooting
[16:21] <pbox> image checksum matches and the initial filesystem tests do not return any errors
[16:33] <LimeOn> you have problem to create the "/", "/home" partitions or you cant give space to linux from your hard drive?
[16:34] <pbox> the installer allows me to select replace partition
[16:34] <pbox> but once i do it it crashes
[16:34] <LimeOn> you have something else in that partition?
[16:34] <LimeOn> like windows for example
[16:34] <pbox> yes, it's a dual boot machine
[16:35] <pbox> but im replacing a previous lubuntu artition
[16:35] <pbox> partition
[16:35] <LimeOn> oh, i see
[16:35] <pbox> which boots fine
[16:35] <LimeOn> have you tried to delete those and re-make them?
[16:35] <LimeOn> i mean, dont relplace, but make them from "free space"
[16:35] <LimeOn> dont replace*
[16:36] <LimeOn> something like: delete old lubuntu partitions and then create them again
[16:36] <pbox> I thought about doing it with fdisk but decided that i should check before deleting the working system
[16:36] <pbox> ok
[16:36] <LimeOn> yes, thats the problem
[16:36] <LimeOn> you will delete the working one during the process
[16:36] <pbox> anyways, I will give it a try
[16:36] <LimeOn> i remember do what you want and dont have problem
[16:37] <LimeOn> i mean, re-install lubuntu
[16:37] <LimeOn> but you could try that
[16:37] <pbox> yes I find it strainge as well, thats why I was wondering if I could check the error logs
[16:37] <pbox> if there are any
[16:37] <LimeOn> i really dont know that, im sorry
[16:37] <pbox> or if it crashes silently.
[16:38] <pbox> no problem
[16:42] <LimeOn> i suggest you to search in askubuntu
[16:42] <LimeOn> maybe the answer is there
[16:43] <pbox> thanks

[23:29] <MrCollins> Hello! Can anyone point me at a link for setting up lubuntu without a gui, but easy to configure BIND or DNS server for my home network?
[23:29] <MrCollins> Or perhaps an ISO that has a streamlined linux os that is setup with BIND or another DNS server?
[23:31] <MrCollins> I guess I should state my goal. I have about 7 or 8 old boxes sitting around, and I wanted to make use of a few of them.
[23:36] <tomreyn> MrCollins: you could install ubuntu-server on them, then the software you want.
[23:37] <tomreyn> that's basically like any ubuntu flavour just without the graphical interface
[23:38] <MrCollins> ok 10-4.
[23:38] <MrCollins> does lubuntu havea  server or its just ubuntu itself?
[23:38] <tomreyn> network management works differently on the server than on the desktop by default (can be changed, if needed)
[23:39] <tomreyn> there's just ubuntu-server, which also has an irc channel here
[23:39] <MrCollins> OK. Thank you for your help. Its going to be on older hardware but should be sufficient for my local home network needs.
[23:39] <MrCollins> just DNS serv, thats all I want it to do.
