[13:22] <metbsd> how do i prepare bootable usb stick with 20.10 iso?
[13:22] <metbsd> xubuntu
[13:33] <Maik> metbsd: same as you did with the server iso
[13:34] <Maik> metbsd: what are you running now, ubuntu, windows or mac?
[13:35] <metbsd> win
[13:35] <metbsd> fail to boot though
[13:36] <metbsd> no more display after linux loading
[13:36] <Maik> what did you use, Rufus?
[13:36] <metbsd> etcher
[13:36] <Maik> and did you verify the iso?
[13:37] <Maik> also, what are the system specs
[13:37] <Maik> learn to provide as much info you can when asking for support
[13:38] <metbsd> verify failed
[13:38] <metbsd> 20.04 iso
[13:38] <metbsd> it's intel core 2 duo
[13:38] <metbsd> 9400
[13:38] <metbsd> really old laptop
[13:38] <metbsd> the same usb can boot and install another newer laptop
[13:39] <metbsd> but fail to boot in this old laptop
[13:39] <Maik> 32bit?
[13:39] <Maik> or 64?
[13:39] <metbsd> 64bit
[13:39] <Maik> how much RAM
[13:39] <metbsd> 4g ram 320g hd
[13:40] <Maik> if the verification failed then you need to download another iso
[13:40] <metbsd> alienware
[13:40] <Maik> nVidia, AMD graphics card in it i guess?
[13:40] <metbsd> amd sv670
[13:41] <Maik> maybe that's your problem
[13:41] <metbsd> can i use text only installation
[13:41] <Maik> dunno
[13:42] <metbsd> problem is it doesn't give me menu to choose installation types
[13:42] <Maik> you kinda asked the same question about the server iso last night and it was answered
[13:42] <metbsd> ok
[13:42] <metbsd> thanks
[13:42] <Maik> also you said 20.04 but asked help with 20.10 which is confusing
[13:43] <Maik> if the sha256 checksum failed then doznload a new iso
[13:44] <metbsd> 20.04 failed, will try 20.10 now
[13:44] <Maik> doznload/download
[13:44] <Maik> ok, have fun and good luck, gotta run
[13:44] <metbsd> thanks bye
[13:45] <metbsd> Maik, it's my Chinese Lunar new year. So I wish you a healthy and successful year of Ox.
[13:45] <metbsd> i'm chinese
[13:48] <Maik> thank you very much. Wishing you the same. :)
[15:01] <cattoooooooooo> uh
[15:02] <cattoooooooooo> so i got the error that the installer failer
[15:02] <cattoooooooooo> *failed
[15:02] <cattoooooooooo> i have a gtx 1050 and an i5 7300hq
[16:53] <Arseniev> hi. I installed xubuntu 20.04 with Lvm encrpoted partition. I let rhe installer choose the partitions just to know what happens.
[16:53] <Arseniev> it created a primary /boot/efi.
[16:55] <Arseniev> It also created an extended partition with two partitions inside (/boot and vgxubuntu)
[16:56] <Arseniev> is this right? I can not see the swap partition.
[16:56] <Arseniev> by the way the vgxubuntu partition indicates that the filesystem is lvm2 pv. Is it some kind of encrypted ext4?
[16:58] <gnrp> Arseniev: I cannot tell you since I didn't install a ubuntu system for some time, but seems about right
[16:58] <gnrp>  /boot/efi for the bootloader, /boot for loading the encrypted stuff, and then one encrypted partition
[16:58] <gnrp> you would probably like to add another partition for separating /home and /
[16:59] <Arseniev> ok, now I understand
[16:59] <Arseniev> wbat about the swap?
[16:59] <Arseniev> ai always had a partition dedicated to it.
[17:00] <gnrp> Arseniev: Depends. I personally don't use it on my machines anymore
[17:00] <gnrp> it depends a lot on how you use your computer and how it is equipped whether tou need one
[17:00] <gnrp> I would go so far as saying that modern desktops don't require a swap partition anymore. Lots of people might object, though
[17:03] <Maik> Arseniev: *buntu creates a swap file, this is since 18.04. No swap partition is needed anymore.
[17:04] <gnrp> Maik: Ah, good to know
[17:04] <gnrp> makes more sense anyway rather than fixing it into the partitioning
